Hayley’s POV
I 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 POVI tried to prepare myself for whatever Erik was going to say, how bad could it be? Surely he wouldn’t have had sex with me if there was something really wrong. Erik rakes a hand through his already messy blonde hair, he was bothered by my need to know and couldn’t look me directly in the eye.“Now is not the time!” he grumbles and tries to move forward, however I stood my ground, he was not going to get out of this so easily.Do you really want another fight with him? My wolf groans at me and she was right, I didn’t want a fight, but he had just told me I had been strange since I woke up.“Fine” Erik’s eyes were different, the gold flecks shinning much more brightly than usual. “You do things…….”I cut him off, holding a finger up to my lips, ordering him and everyone to be silent. My nose was twitching at the smell, it wasn't human and it reminded me
Alpha Erik’s POVTJ stepped towards me holding the hand of a small girl that couldn’t have been any older than ten or eleven, she had black hair that dropped to her shoulders and green eyes, the same green eyes as TJ. I had never seen another with eyes like hers and it was baffling.As we continued to walk, Alice would run between us, asking various questions like what it was like to be a wolf or how fast we could run, she was inquisitive about our world. Alice asks if she can come with us, announcing how she hated it down wherever the humans were living and that she felt free being in the forest. I could not disagree with her, the forest was our home.TJ shocks me when she tells me through mind link that we were going to use Alice, I could not believe that she was willing to use a child to benefit us, it was always something she was so against. My mate shakes her head at me telling me its not that simple and asks if I noticed the black flicker in he
TJ’s POV It was like looking at a photo of myself. I just did not know what to think and was fighting back the tears that were threatening to spill over like a tidal wave. How could it even be possible? I had to talk to my mother and leave the others sitting around the kitchen table, taking the photo with me. My wolf was being just as quiet. Making my way to our bedroom, I laid on my back on the carpeted floor and concentrated on the photo repeating the words ‘I need to speak to you’. For ages nothing happened and I closed my eyes and finally she stood in front of me in the dark room. My mother. “I see you have found your brother and sister” she spoke so casually that it infuriated me “Why?, Why mother” my words came out in a snarl “I wasn’t sure you would become the person you have and created another. Your brother is because you have the same father” she dismissed the issue like it was nothing “You didn’t think I would be good enough
Matthew’s POV There was no sign of Alice anywhere, my men had searched the woods for hours and there was no hint of her anywhere, they had picked up trails of wolves a few times but that was it. I really hoped the wolves had not found or killed my daughter. I loved my daughter and the day we had discovered Luna TJ, I honestly thought it was my first love Selene, the woman that had given me my beautiful daughter Alice. It was only from learning through Jack that this woman was TJ, the Luna of one of the largest wolf packs in Europe. Time and information taught me that this TJ was the daughter of the Moon Goddess, the very woman that the wolves believed in. Could it be possible that Alice’s mother and this TJ were related?. That would be the worst news possible because she was a pure wolf which meant my daughter was most definitely a half breed. With all the paperwork I kept in my drawer the biggest file I had was on my own daughter, she looked nothing
TJ’s POV Erik stared at me completely gobsmacked “I’m not going to do it. I can’t hurt a child or my sister" “My mother doesn’t want me?” Alice steps back in the room with saddened eyes, “What did I do?” Dropping to my knees in front of her I automatically pull her into a hug “Nothing, you did nothing” What could I say, our mother only wanted pure bloods and had only created her just in case I wasn't good enough. “We have a problem” Erik interrupts Alice’s sobbing “Alpha Dillon believes they are coming for war tomorrow at sunrise, we have to evacuate” “How does he know?” I was surprised Alpha Dillon cared, he had shown little interest so far. “It’s the final day that Lacey had to return with you, if they have been watching us for as long as Marcus has said they have then they will come at dawn” “Are they coming for me?” Alice whimpers from my shoulder “If your father has worked out that you are part wolf then no, he wil
Alpha Erik’s POVRunning forwards, I was ready to throw myself into the fight and defend my pack no matter what when my mates voice rang out across the ground demanding everyone to stop. I could not believe what she was doing, she was facing the miserable human that had beaten her countless times and left her for dead and yet she was not ripping his throat out like i would have expected her to do.I ask her what she is doing and she tells me that’s she is doing what is best for everyone, when she looked at me one final time, I saw her arm move so quickly and pull a shiny object from the waist band of her blue joggers.Not once did TJ hesitate and I watch helplessly as she plunges the silver dagger into her own chest. I had no clue that this was what she was planning. She doesn’t make a sound, the whole time staring intently into my own eyes whilst her own green eyes dimmed as she drops to the ground and deep crimson blood trickles down her tors
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
