Beta Will’s POV
I 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
Unkonown POV I headed back down to the dungeons, we now had two members of that wolf pack, what do they call themselves Crimson Moon or something. It had been easy to take Hayley and now my men were telling me they had another female wolf. I was hoping they had managed to capture TJ again and was disappointed to find out it wasn't the red head, she was becoming impossible to catch always stuck near others or never out of Erik’s sight. Even when she was at their beach house, she was constantly guarded and Erik visited her everyday. We still were not sure why she was even there if Erik was still visiting her, I had sent Jack out to watch her and the only information he was able to gather was that TJ had returned home, anything else was being kept quiet. I had asked him repeatedly if she had seen him and he was certain she had not. My men continued to monitor the pack and when I got the news they had taken another female, it made me feel that our plan was finall
Alpha Erik’s POV“Are you going to tell us what that was about?” Alpha Dillon cornered me as I walked back in the dining room. His stale breath hot on my face, this Alpha has a real issue of getting up in people’s faces. Alpha Dillon was one of the older Alpha’s, refusing to hand over the reigns to his eldest daughter, his wife had been unable to give him any male heirs and technically there were no rules about a female being an Alpha.Alpha Dillon’s usual dark hair was greying as well as the trimmed bead he wore, wrinkles evident of his time as Alpha.“She did not shift” Chris came to my defence “We handled it” Chris gave me a worried look, a look I do not often see.“Everyone sit down, you are probably not going to like what you hear” I began by explaining how she had been different since she went missing with the added fact of amnesia, it was why she was unable to recognise some of
TJ’s POVWhen I woke my head was spinning, why was it whenever something was going on I always woke up in bed like everything had been a dream. I climbed out of bed to find myself still in the same clothes from yesterday, the hoodie was torn at the collar where Erik had ripped it too get at my mark, fresh bite marks visible on my collar bone.I had let my wolf have some fun with Erik’s brother yesterday after he had boasted about being the best fighter, my wolf convinced me to challenge him and the results had left my body aching this morning. I cleaned myself up and changed into another of Erik’s hoodies and pulled on a pair of denim shorts, shorts had become my new favourite thing to wear alongside Erik's hoodies.The noise levels from downstairs were increasing and giving me a headache, what was going on down there?. I found Erik’s note on the dresser to mind link him when I woke. I rolled my eyes, I really did not like being told what
Alpha Erik’s POV I could not believe what I was hearing, the Alpha’s were all riled up and firing questions at TJ, I left the room telling Chris to keep TJ busy and to make sure she does not get hurt, I would be back shortly although I was more worried for the Alpha’s especially if they annoyed her or she let her wolf take over again. Heading up to my office, I rummaged around in a desk drawer and found the card with that Fae’s details on, I hesitated, was I really doing the right thing by calling him? I asked myself and neithe my wolf or myself could come up with an answer and I dialled the number. Discovering that Luna TJ had been born on the day the blood moon and the wolf moon collided could not be a coincidence, even if it was said the Moon Goddess could walk the earth and cross between realms, there was clearly a reason as to why my mate was born on that date. Aslo appeared in front of me in a puff of smoke as soon as I had dialled the numbers,
Unknown POV Lacey stood her ground “Both of us”, you could hear the wobble in her voice as she tried to be confident, it made me laugh, she was definitely ballsy I will give her that, it was something that had driven me to her when we first met and now I was just disgusted that she was a half breed. The thought sends a shiver down my spine. I shook my head “If you want both of you to go free, bring me that red head and your baby” she scowled at me. “Fine, let me go and I will bring you the Luna” What she did not know was that when she bought the redheaded girl back to me I would recapture her as well. She made her way to the door and I laugh “Do you really think I’m just going to let you walk out of here?” I walk up behind her before she has chance to turn around and inject her with a lethal amount of Wolfsbane, enough to almost kill her and knock her out. Yes I want her dead but if there is a chance she can bring me that TJ then I am going to
TJ’s POV As I laid on the plush sofa, I tried hard to focus on Aslo’s voice and his words, but it was difficult, all I could think about was the way Erik was looking at me, a look of pity. I didn’t want him to pity me, I didn’t know what I wanted but it definitely was not pity. He was just as shocked as I was to find out that his parents wanted me created by the Moon Goddess for him, their own son, I wondered if they had known I was actually her daughter when we first met. If they did, they didn't give anything away. “You need to keep a clear mind for this to work child” I opened one eye to find him looking at me from his chair “How did you know?” Aslo gives me a knowing smile, “Your heart rate quickened, now clear your mind” I follow his instructions, clearing my mind and pushing Erik far from it, I would deal with that later. “Imagine a mirror showing your reflection, only it is not. It is an older and wiser version”
Hayley’s POV I had no idea how long I had been here, in this damp smelly cell. I paced and paced my small area constantly hearing screams and moans from other prisoners. How could I have been so stupid to let myself get captured. When I woke, I was already in this damp musty cell alone, I had been put on a small bed and had even been given a cover. I didn’t understand, all the stories I had heard of captures they treated them horrendously. Even the Luna had been tortured. I never saw who took me and I never saw anyone here, food would appear when I was asleep and when I called out, no one responded. The cell had silver bars and although they did not have as strong effect on me as they would a full blooded wolf, they still hurt to touch so I couldn’t get close enough to look out down the corridor. Aslo must be going nuts, knowing I left the mansion and now I am missing, after all I was his only heir. At some point I woke to screaming and shouti
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
