Alpha Erik’s POV
I could not believe what I was hearing, Jack had been the one all along, he had hidden it well when I had questioned them, even throwing it out that he was getting blamed because he was the night staff. TJ had solved it before us, at least it was a sign her memory was coming back.
I wanted answers from the human and Chris blocked my way “Move brother” I growled at him, he stood his ground
“He is out cold, to much blood loss” he snorted afterwards trying to hide his amusement "He is useless at the moment"
“He hurt my mate” I glance back at TJ who still had a slight heat visible in her skin yet she was stood with her hands on her hips, she always got impatient when we were interrupted.
“Come on Erik” she was about to completely lose all patience “He’s out, we can’t do anything right now” and she started to bite that bottom lip.
Chris was trying to hi
Hayley’s POV I could not believe it, we had been so close to finding the people who had taken TJ all along, how none of my great grandfather’s army discovered the hidden door was beyond me but now we knew who had taken TJ. Humans! I wanted to vomit, humans had caused my family so many problems in the past, my great grandfather had told me many stories, its why we started living on another realm. A place inaccessible to anyone who did not have Fae blood, Fae were also banned from having any connections with them, otherwise your death would be certain. We were really grateful when they had been wiped out. In that moment I remembered Marcus the man holding my hand, the human who had been part of the plan in taking us down. Yes I wanted to kiss him, but I also want to smack him for what he and his kind had done. I raised a hand to strike him and to my surprise his reflexes were quick and he grabbed my wrist “Not now, we have to move” and he growls, wait, what?, h
TJ’s POV Marcus gave us details on what had happened to me, not all because he didn’t know how I was captured just that their leader, a man called Matthew had done it. He also filled us in on the brutal torture I had been through. It made me uncomfortable listening to the descriptions of beatings I had received at the hands of Matthew. I was curious to know how he knew so much if he never took part. “The main guard was ill one day, Matthew asked me to stand guard as the torturing’s took place” his brows knitted together, clearly reliving the images he had seen. “I still do not understand how you survived it” "Because she is amazing" I catch Erik staring at me and recognise that he is not the only one, all eyes are trained on me and they probably all had the same question as Marcus but honestly I don’t even know how, especially as I have seen the scars that the torturings has left, my back in particular was covered in them. I think Erik w
Matthew’s POV What the hell was that sound, I headed out of my office to find Alice on her way to find me, I pick her up and hurry down the flight of stairs, meeting her nanny along the way and hand her over. “Go to our house and stay there until I return”. I carry on down the staircase and stop at the floor above the prison, people were running around, the screams had grown louder and yet I still couldn’t see anything, the guards from the prison came out “Is everyone locked in?” “Yes sir” they respond in unison, at least there will not be another escape A young man with greasy hair comes running towards me “Sir, sir, there has been an explosion in the boiler room” “What the hell happened?” “We do not know yet, we are working on it” the young man tells me “Well sort it as soon as possible, we have lots of people here” he nods and runs back in the same direction he came from. I start climbing the stairs and catch a glimp
TJ’s POVYou need to find himI know, I groan back at my wolf.“What happened?” Erik was questioning a sobbing Hayley.“He lunged for him and threw something at him, that’s what made the loud bang” Hayley was still sat on the floor, "Aslo attacked Marcus"“Taken him to Faery?” I ask cautiously and she shakes her head“No, no Fae blood so he will not be able to enter” she has finally stopped crying “Please find him”“I thought Aslo didn’t mind half breeds” Hayley shook her head at me again“He doesn’t, as long as they have Fae blood”“So much for him wanting a unified world” Erik thought he was muttering out of ear shot. I shoot him a dirty look and he looks at the ground.He is jeopardizing our lifeI try to ignore her comment, I knew my wolf didn’t trust him
Alpha Erik’s POVI was unsure about TJ shifting, it was rare that she did before she was taken as she didn’t need her wolf to be brutal. It was also the first time since hospital that TJ would be shifting fully. I watched as all her bones cracked and her body contorted before it sprouted fur and soon she was stood on four legs in front of me, as a stunning red wolf.I shifted too and we headed towards the forest line where Hayley and Chris were waiting for us, as we walked I nuzzled my head against hers showing my appreciation that she had allowed herself to shift into wolf form without much drama.As we ran through the forest, TJ mentioned how she could smell something and even with the heightened senses, I could smell nothing other than the usual forest smells. She suddenly changed direction and digging my poors into the Earth, I skidded to a stop so I could run with her whilst mind linking Chris and Hayley.TJ came to a halt just as Hayley
Hayley’s POVI run to where Marcus has been abandoned, he was battered and bruised but he still embraced me with the little energy he had left. Whatever my great grandfather had done to him, I was certain Luna TJ was going to make him suffer. I helped Marcus to his feet and shoulder some of his weight as we make a move away from all this, this lie my great grandfather had created.A part of me felt like I had to protect Aslo, he had raised me after all but was that even the truth, I had no idea if what he has taught me over the years is even true.I looked around to see that my Luna was already tearing my great grandfather apart, she was not in her wolf or human form but something in between, something that was demonic. He never stood a chance against her and right now I felt nothing for the man I had called great grandfather.The castle behind them caught my attention, it was not as magnificent as I had previously seen, it was run down and part of
TJ’s POVIt felt so good to tear that asshole apart, my wolf and I combined giving us both full control simultaneously. I had enough of that Aslo, the more he spoke the more I didn’t trust him and my wolf had been right all along, we had met him before. He had been the Fae trying to attack us in the forest.As I stood over the remaining parts of Aslo, a strong sense of satisfaction overcame my body, my wolf retreated back and left me standing naked. Power thrived inside me, it completely took over anything else I was feeling.Quiet footsteps approached from somewhere behind, throwing a glance over my shoulder Erik was smiling at me “You did a great job” and he pulls off his tshirt and hands it too me. Making me aware that I was completely naked.Taking it and pulling it on quickly, I glance around to see where the others are. “They are fine, they are with Marcus” he murmurs into my ear as he wraps his arms around me, pu
Matthew’s POVThe guards never returned, I could only assume the worst had happened to them. All our hunters and guards are trained and have to take an oath to kill themselves if they were at the mercy of any supes. It was to ensure information about us would never get out.As I spent time reading over the information I had on the mate bond, I began to realise that a wolf could literally be mated to any kind which could also mean that the special one in our cell could have attracted my right hand man Marcus, there was no way he would have gone to her aid otherwise.Could it be possible that humans could not ignore the mate bond no matter what? It is the only thing that made sense, Marcus hated the supes as much, if not more than what I do.Another day had passed and there was still no sign of Lacey, four days left and I will be coming for her baby regardless. I exhale noisily as a rap of knuckles hits my door “Come in” and I slump back d
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
