Alpha Erik’s POV
I kept my distance, watching her from afar, she had taken the hair bobble out and was letting her bright hair flow, the sea wind catching it and blowing it about. She sat hugging her knees, she must know I was close, I could feel her pain and it was something she was unable to hide from me.
As bad as it is that I slept with Hayley, I still could not get what that witch had said out of my head, TJ had an affair with Noah, my once best friend. I was not even sorry I had ripped his heart out. I knew my mate was hiding some of her memories from me. It had taken something drastic to happen for her to come clean about the prophecy, being able to hear her wolf, Hayley.
TJ still did not move, the tide was coming in and the waves were catching her every time now, skimming around her body. I am sure I just saw her lips move, who is she talking too. It was now or never, I had to ask her about Noah. Will was still in the car and playing on his phone,
TJ’s POVTwo weeks I had been here and I was happy although my wolf was not, well not truly happy but i felt calmer than i had done in weeks. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the sea everyday was like music to my ears. Erik would come most days and always kept his distance, some days he would wait until I had walked down the beach and would drop off groceries for me.I focussed on training every single day, I needed to make myself strong and thankfully my body naturally remembered how to move. I continued to block mind links, keeping anyone who contacted me at bay, I was not ready to talk to them and I honestly enjoyed my own company, sometimes my mother would come to talk to me, mostly to tell me off that I was making a mistake not being with Erik.As I entered into the third week of being alone, something was different, my wolf was agitated but she didn’t know why but it was puting me on edge, she was constantly pacing in my mind which
TJ’s POV“Humans” I repeated the word back to the well dressed man.He nodded his head, rolling his black cane across his legs, “They have also taken my great granddaughter, it is why I am here”Erik had started pacing the room “Humans were eradicated years ago before my birth”The Fae nodded “We thought so too, until Luna TJ went missing”Erik stopped pacing and walked towards the Fae sat on the sofa “How do you know this?” he growled in the Fae’s face, the Fae did not move in the slightest.“I believe my great granddaughter filled you in”Things began making sense, Hayley had told me about how her and her great grandfather had found me in a cave, her great grandfather was the ruler of Faery.“Aslo?” I ask cautiously, I had to be certain it was himA wide grin played on his face “Yes Luna TJ” before I could ask an
Will’s POVI was so grateful to Alpha Erik for giving me some time off to spend with my wife Lacey and our new pup Blade, I may be bias but he was gorgeous and now heir to the Beta line. Lacey could not put him down and I don’t blame her as we never thought this day would come. We had been trying to fall pregnant for three years before she finally fell pregnant with Blade, we had also been told it was unlikely we would ever conceive, Lacey had had too many wounds to her lower abdomen.I was eager to show Blade off to Luna TJ, but Erik had said not yet. Luna TJ had also not spoken to me since she had been at their beach house. I understood why, she needed space and I accepted that.Walking towards the pack house I was surprised to see Erik’s car parked outside, he had said earlier he was going to see TJ and it was strange that he was back already. Things had obviously not gone well. I prepared myself for the conversation that was coming, in a wa
Alpha Erik’s POV TJ was finally happy to be with me and did not complain once when I carried her off to the bedroom, shortly before getting a chance in showing her how much I loved her, we were interrupted by my Beta Will, I thought it would have something to do with contacting the other packs, yet the voice that came through was distraught followed with a baby crying. “Please Alpha, its Lacey…… she’s gone” I reluctantly got dressed followed by TJ who was puzzled why we were getting dressed again “What’s happened?” she asks over and over whilst pulling one of my blue hoodies on. I could not answer, I did not have all the information yet. “Stay here” she folded her arms across her chest, sticking out her bottom lip in a little pout. I couldn’t help but laugh, TJ had never pulled this face before. “Fine, but you might not like it” she cocked her head to one side trying to make sense of what I said and followed me out the door. We walked
Unknown POV I was furious, we had been training for this for years and some imbecile manages to let her escape. It had been so easy to capture Luna TJ, stupid terms they use Alpha and Luna but that was the way their kind worked. I pace across the dark wooden floor in my office that was lit up by many lamps, we had been living underground now for decades, long before I was born, hiding and making sure we were never seen. Our numbers were increasing, new babies being born everyday and our time was coming, we would resurface and take back our world. I continued to pace when a faint knock raps on the door “Enter” who was disturbing me now, Jack appears in the doorway with a worried look. A bead of sweat trickled down the side of his face, his ash blonde hair soaked with sweat, a red blush covered his face. He had been running. Jack was my inside man, he had been a part of the pack before Alpha Erik took over although Jack was not a wolf. Jack was
TJ’s POVHow can Erik expect me to become a mother, there are so many reasons why I said no and they were just reasons since waking up in the hospital, let alone any reasons from my past.Erik sighed and ran his hands through his blonde hair causing it too be more messy than normal which made me smile and he crouched in front of where I was sitting and cupped my face. Gently running his thumb across my bottom lip and pulling it out from where I was biting it, he glances at Blade who is now asleep.“You will be an amazing mother” he murmurs quietly.I shake my head pulling from his hand and turn my head as a tear threatens to escape as much as I did not want to be a mother, Erik clearly wanted to be a father and I was taking that away from him.Standing up, I look at a sleeping Blade once more “My life is too chaotic” and I walk out the room as soon as I leave a single tear escapes and Blake starts crying again. Looking
Beta Will’s POVI just couldn’t face looking at Blade, he was the spitting image of Lacey and every time I looked at him the pain that was a constant ache in my heart, throbbed. I was mad with Alpha Erik, I couldn’t believe he ordered me to stay in the house, my wife, the mother of our child was missing, taken far away and he really expected me to stay put.My wolf was in agony and I had stormed off to the room Luna TJ had so kindly set up for me. I had punched the wall several times causing cracks, I know it would piss off the Alpha but right now I didn’t care.I waited until I could hear no noise in the house and quietly crept out the room and down the hallway, I passed Alpha Erik who was sleeping on the sofa with Blade fast asleep on his chest, TJ nowhere to be seen and I silently slipped out of the house.Through the darkness I made my way back to my house, the house I share with my beautiful wife, there must be more clues than
Alpha Erik’s POVTJ left the house quickly with Blade, I knew she was angry and getting her to take Blade to nursery was my best option. One of the guards had let me know a couple of Alpha’s from neighbouring packs had arrived and I instructed them to escort the Alpha's to the pack house where they would be staying.Shortly after TJ left Alpha’s Dillon and Brody arrived with their Beta’s in tow. Will and I welcomed them into the packhouse, I had not seen either of these Alpha’s for some time, wars were extremely rare now and assistance was rarely needed, genreally the only time we would meet up is to have a catch up.We shook hands and Will showed them around just as a handful more showed up, the house was going to full. By the time TJ returned seven out of the twelve men had arrived some with their Luna’s others with their Beta’s.She walked through the door, surprised by all of the Alpha's sat around the kitchen
TJ’s POVDressed in the cloak Atlas had wrapped me in yesterday, and black clothes with boots, I pull the hood up over my head, hiding my red hair. “Ready?”I look at everyone stood before me and they all nod their head“We are with you all the way my love” Atlas kisses me on the cheek and sends another flurry of butterflies to my stomach and as much as I loved it, I couldn’t ignore the feelings that still lingered for Erik.I nod and disappear, reappearing just inside of the forest line at the edge of Crimson Moons grounds. Moving silently and swiftly across the grass came naturally and I could feel my wolf howling in delight at me finally being reconnected with my lost self.The further I moved into Crimson Moons territory, more of my people appeared, flanking me in a solid V, it was a protection stance.Erik’s pack were all out on the grounds, with Beta Will and Alpha Chris standing on the balcony
TJ’s POVWe grabbed her, Atlas thought we could combine our powers to move her, it was going to be a long shot but I did what he said, as soon as my hands were on her a strange sensation waved through me, as I looked across the ground I could see Erik laying on the floor, he was still and unmoving, the red pool growing around him.His eyes found my own and in that moment, I knew he was alive.Atlas had his hand on me as well as my mother, she was fighting against us mentally. She was using her power against us as much as were against her, it felt like we were evenly matched. Several times we appeared in different places, thankfully not once did we end up in the Blood packs pack house.It felt like we were losing our grip on her, she was strong and it seemed as if we were never going to get her in the cell.Other members of the Blood pack were waiting by the cell, we needed enough of us to force her inside so we could shut the door, trapping h
Will’s POVI could not believe we had believed in such a vile person for so long, the creator of wolves was a monster. Chris and I had heard every word she had said to Alpha Erik, she had called him a half breed. How was that even possible, I had known his parents.Chris and I stand over Alpha Erik’s body in the pack house, his body was now cold and he looked like he was sleeping. Chris had insisted he be dressed in the outfit Alpha TJ would like, blue jeans and a blue shirt to bring to remind everyone of his eyes.The wound on his body had been stitched up by the nurses, that witch had really done a number on him, it was no wonder he had not survived, no one would have.Alpha TJ had not been since yesterday, when they left with Selene and I wondered if she knew that Alpha Erik had not survived.“Have you heard from her?” Chris keeps his eyes on his brother but clearly knows what I am thinking about“No, I have
Alpha Erik’s POVI knew what I was risking and even now with TJ being an Alpha of another pack, I would give my life for her.Will and Chris followed me, walking each side of me, both of them thought I was stupid for doing this and had no problems telling me as much.“You cannot do this boss, it is a suicide mission” Will’s voice was higher than normal“Will, I promise that I will be fine, besides you are quite capable of running this pack” He looks at me as if I have lost my mind, “Will, it will be okay, I will be fine, I promise”“He is right bro, you are fucking mental. I like a good fight, but to go up against the Moon Goddess, that is a death wish”I find it funny how they both assume that I am on the way to death, yet they were still walking next to me. “Let’s hope the Blood pack will take her out in time if you think my death is imminent”Honestly, I
TJ’s POVAlice gripped onto me with her small hands but as I was thinking of the dungeon that had been built something strange happened.Her fingers felt as if they were growing, along with the small frame that was pressed against me, letting go, we are stood in the middle of the forest, surrounded by creatures hurrying about their daily work.In front of me stood my mother, her red hair fanning out down her back, her piercing green eyes on my own, the air caught in my lungs and I gasp at the woman standing in front of me. A part of me had really hoped that the rumour about her wasn’t true, but here she was standing in front of me in place of Alice.I watch as my mother walks around me, her bare feet crunching on the fallen leaves “So this is Blood pack?” she stops in front of me, looking at me curiously, but honestly I have no idea where I had brought her, I did not recognise any of the scents surrounding us.When I don&rsq
TJ’s POV“I am never going to get this” and groan at Lowe and AtlasAtlas smiles at me “You will, you just need to concentrate better. Now try again”They had given me an apple to practise with, because starting small was the way to move forward apparently, but no matter how much I tried, the apple would end up in a different place either in the room or no where to be seen, one apple had even split in two.Lowe had joked that it wouldn't matter if I managed to pull that off with AliceBoth men had tried explaining to me that I needed to focus more on the apple then where I wanted to go, but it was increasingly hard when all I could think of is Atlas’s intoxicating pine smell. After a while Atlas announced he had some errands to run and left me with Lowe. My wolf was desperate to go with him but I had to get this thing right.After a few more attempts I managed to bring the apple with me and I cheered
Alpha Erik’s POV“Where the fuck have you been TJ?” I grab her roughly, I couldn’t help it but my wolf no longer viewed her as a member of our pack. Lowe growls at me and I let her go.“If you must know, Will showed me the prison he has built for witches, the place we are going to put Alice” and she pushes pass me, sitting on a chair“You did what?” I turn on my Beta who submits without hesitation.“Alpha TJ, requested to see it” his voice is high pitched under submission“Where is it?” I was pissed that something else had been kept a secret from me“Right where Sapphire was keeping me prisoner” TJ is snarling at me, the girl I once loved was showing her cruel side more and more, maybe she really did belong with the Blood pack.I sigh, we really were not getting anywhere if we continued to hide information from each other. Will reminds me he had this c
TJ’s POVI pulled on the clothes Erik gave me as quick as I could, what was I doing trying to throw myself at Erik, it was a stupid move.My final comment before he left the room had hit him hard, much harder than it had hit me and I wanted to cry. I call to Atlas and he appears instantly in front of me, without missing a beat I threw myself into his arms, sucking in his beautiful scent and it made me realise that Erik’s scent was gone, I could only smell his wolf stink on everything in the room and not his lusty scent.Atlas pushes me back to look at me and cups my face, thumbing away the tear that rolled out of my eye.“It’s just for a few days” He thought I was upset about being here but it was more of a case that I was upset because I felt like I had screwed up. I nod, silently wishing everything could go back in time, to the time that I could not remember.“I will try”“Just remember we ar
Alpha Erik’s POVWe never left the spot in the forest that they had transported us to, we decided it would be better to stay put rather than head home and be caught by Alice/Selene again.“Good you are already here” Lowe is the first to speak but I cannot take my eyes off of TJ and the way she was staring at the other guy, what was his name, Atlas. It was the same look she used to give me, I had only seen it once since she had woken up in the hospital and now she was giving that look to another man.I understood now why he came to me the other night, he felt her connection and was asking my permission to either make a move or find out where I stood.“We never left” my words cause TJ to snap her head back at me“It was probably for the best if you think the witch is on to you” Atlas spoke, his voice clear and strong, I had learnt that he had been in charge of Blood pack when TJ’s father disappeared and
