Ayla POV

As we left the warmth of the party, the cold night air hit me and I felt my head spin slightly. I had drunk far too much wine, but I was having fun.

“I know where we should go.” Nicola cheered as she dragged me further down the street to another one of the clubs we used to go to when we were younger. This one still looked the same. The bouncer smiled as Nicola brushed her hand along his chest as we entered the old nightclub, and immediately I was hit with the smell of sweaty bodies all crammed together. I grabbed Nicolas's hand and pushed my way through the crowd and onto the dance floor. I loved to dance, and I rarely got to do it when I was with Marcus. He said I was like a whore, letting men gawk all over me as I danced, but I didn’t notice the men watching me. All I could hear was the beat of the music, I let it take over my body and I allowed myself to give in to its rhythm. Nicola pulled me closer to herself as she swayed beside me, her hips pushing into mine. I co

    Callan POV I didn’t want last night to end. The girl of my dreams, literally, had walked into my life and flipped everything upside down. Her scent was the most mouthwatering thing on this earth and I craved it. Her lips looked so juicy all I could think about was how I wanted to taste them, to take her plump bottom lip between my teeth as I ravished her body. I had trouble committing to anyone when she was just a figment of my imagination, but now she was a real breathing goddess, how was I ever going to manage now? How could I live my life knowing my dream girl, my true mate, was out there, and I couldn’t have her because her life was more important to me than anything else in this world, and for me to have her, would mean her death. I couldn’t help but slip out of Pedro’s party and follow her. I had to make sure this was real, that it wasn’t just a dream, and what I found only made me want her more. She was hypnotic, the way her body swayed to the music ignited a fire deep inside

    Callan POV As Micha drove us to the pack house, I sat mulling over everything that had happened the last few days. Eric was right, this elf had been hanging around in the woods around the house. And I was oblivious to him. I felt the giant ball of dread twist in my stomach as we got close to the pack house. Alister had made sure my life here was a living hell and now every time I had to come home I was reminded of that torture. If it wasn’t for my mum and sister, I probably would have given up the pack and left a long time ago, but they kept me here and now that I had met Ayla, I wish I had trusted my gut and just left. Then maybe my heart would have been spared the pain of rejecting the girl I had spent most of my life dreaming about. “Where’s Leon and Jack?” Alister snarled as we made our way across the drive toward the training field. “Good morning to you as well,” I answered. “Don’t be fucking smart with me boy! Why did you take them to the doctor?” I stopped walking and squar

    Ayla POV Last night I met the most handsome, breathtakingly sexiest man alive, and now I couldn’t stop thinking about him. All day my thoughts were consumed with Callan, even when I tried to push him to the back of my mind, he found his way back to the forefront, distracting me from whatever I was doing. It was during one of those daydreams, where I was thinking of his big strong arms wrapping around me and pulling me closer to his body that I accidentally answered the phone to Marcus. I had ordered a new SIM card so that I could change my number, but it still hadn’t arrived yet and no matter how many times I blocked him, he just wouldn’t give up. I looked in the mirror and took a deep breath. The thought of seeing Marcus gives me a sour taste in my mouth, but if I do this tonight, he will finally leave me alone once and for all. I walked out of my room and past my mum, who gave me a smile of encouragement. She agreed with me that Marcus needed to say whatever it was he had to say

    Callan POV Today was worse than yesterday. Now I had finally found where that scent was coming from, and seen the face of the angelic voice I had heard, I was finding it even harder to concentrate. All I could picture was Ayla’s round and plump breast dripping with sweat and picture myself getting lost in her skin. I imagine her lips pressing against mine, and I keep replaying the way it sounded when she said my name, it was so sexy the way it sounded rolling off her tongue, so alluring and sexual. Usually, I struggle to leave the office or the work site. I let myself get lost in my work, but today, right now, I'm ecstatic to be leaving. Because I know when I return home, she will be there, I will get to see her sweet face and hear her euphoric voice. Today the minutes have painfully dragged by, and the unbelievable urge to be with Ayla has consumed my thoughts completely. The thought of catching a glimpse of her has my wolf eagerly pacing in my mind. He’s equally desperate to get ba

    Ayla POVI was gobsmacked. I never thought in my wildest dreams he had cheated on me with 8 other women, but the more I think about it, it did make sense. Before I moved in with him, he always worked late, and I was never allowed to just show up at his flat, now I know it’s because he was busy with those other women.“Ayla please, they didn’t mean anything to me.”I stood up and pushed the chair back, it scraped against the beautiful dark wooden floor loudly.“Marcus, I came tonight because I think it’s better to do this face-to-face. We are over. There is no chance for us. I don't want to see you again.”I grabbed my bag and swiftly walked out of the restaurant. It felt good to say that to Marcus, a weight had been lifted off my chest. I felt hands grabbing my arms and pulling me backwards, my feet wobbled as I was pushed back into the solid wall, hitting my head.“I can’t lose you, Ayla. Please, I'm begging you. I love you.”He leaned into me, his breath brushing against my face whi

    Ayla POV “I’m sorry about Callan. He will pay for your boyfriend's car to get fixed.” Eric said, his voice clipped with irritation. “Ex-boyfriend and no, tell him not to worry. He deserves all that he gets.” Eric pulled away from me and looked at me, his face impassive, but his eyes seemed to be full of emotion. I had no loyalty to Marcus anymore, and I didn’t see why I should protect him. “He’s the reason I moved back home with my parents. I found him with another woman.” “Shit ouch. I’m sorry Ayla.” “Don’t be, I'm not. Since coming home, I’ve felt different, like this is where I’m supposed to be, but that’s stupid, right?” “No, not at all.” He answered. His face was softer now as he smiled at me. I looked at Eric, trying to figure him out. He was friendly and likeable, and he wanted to listen to what I had to say. He was also incredibly good-looking, he had to be too good to be true. I stopped by the front door and smiled at my kind new friend. “Thank you, Eric.”

    Ayla POV I wished I could stay asleep, locked in my dreams with Callan, his strong hands running across my body making my skin sizzle from his touch, his fingers run through my hair as his lips press against mine, it feels so real, his skin feels so warm and firm as he pushes himself against me. But the man upstairs had different ideas. A loud bang startles me awake. The room is pitch black apart from the small streak of light that streams through the small gap in my curtains. I reached over to the bedside table and looked at my phone to see it was 3 am. I dropped back onto my pillow and closed my eyes, praying I could go back to that dream, when another thud boomed above me, shaking the pendant light above my bed, followed by another and another. I grabbed my pillow, smothering my face and wrapping it over my ears, hoping to block out the sounds of the noisy men upstairs. “You look nice, sweetheart,” Mum says as I walk out of my bedroom. It had taken me ages to decide on my outfit

    Ayla POV I pull up outside the office building where I have the interview. As I get out and look up, my mouth becomes dry, and my muscles begin to quiver. “You can do this Ayla,” I whispered to myself as I made my way inside. “Hi, I’m here for an interview,” I say to a larger woman sitting behind the reception. The woman behind the desk has a headset on. I can hear her typing on the keyboard hidden from view. She holds her hand up, stopping me from saying another word, and points to an area that has chairs and sofas lined up with a few tables to fill the space. I walked over to one of the chairs, noticing that there were quite a few people here, all dressed in nice suits and all carrying a portfolio just like mine. “Ayla Thorne.” I stood up and smiled at the man shouting my name. I grabbed my bag and followed him down the small corridor into a room. “Hi, I’m Mike O'Connor. It's a pleasure to meet you.” He stands beside a desk holding his hand out for me to shake. I

    Callan POV I strolled down the stairs of the pack house with a bounce in my step and the biggest smile on my face. I had never felt so positive about life as I did right now. The pack house no longer felt like a prison of my torment; the halls were no longer filled with memories of my father chasing me down them, and the rooms no longer held the memories of the beatings he would rain down on me for just being alive. Ayla had changed that; she had given me the greatest memory that I will forever cherish, and it was here, in this house I was once afraid of roaming. Now the house felt warm and full of love; the walls didn’t echo the reminiscence of a bad childhood; now they reflected her love and her kindness. The halls didn’t seem gloomy and obsessive; now they were bright and full of life. Not only did it feel like home now, but Ayla had agreed she would stay here until her life was no longer in danger, and the thought of spending every waking moment with her filled me with immense jo

    Ayla POV “Alister went to your parent's flat looking for you; that's how Eric got hurt. If you had been there, he would have killed you, Ayla. I can’t live in a world without you.” His voice cracked. I leaned back so I could see Callan. His deep, rich eyes glistened with the tears he was holding in, and my heart wept to see this beautiful man looking so sorrowful. “Callan, nothing is going to happen to me. I will stay with you until we get this all sorted out.” “Really?” He asked, a tear slipped from his eye and rolled down his cheek. “Yes, if it will take one worry away from you, then yes, I will stay here until your father and Runduc are no longer a threat.” His lips captured mine, and his tongue pushed into my mouth, sweeping across mine and sending my mind into an explosion of excitement. His hand ran up my back, sending a shiver through my body. “We need to keep your parents away from the flat; Alister will use them to get to you. Micha knows someone who can extend their c

    Ayla POV The sound of timber creaking around me created an eerie atmosphere in the room; it sounded like unseen people were moving all around me. The wind outside gently rattled the windowpane, and a very soft whistle emitted from the window area. Pedro's rage suffocated the large room, taking away all the oxygen and filling it with a heat that burnt my lungs as I inhaled. The rage that burnt in his eyes made me shrink back into the sofa, afraid his fury would be unleashed at any moment, but I knew Callan would never let any harm come to me, even though I hadn’t known Callan for very long. I felt like I had known him my whole life and in the life before this one. Just looking at him made me feel safe; I could feel his arms wrapping around me even though he was standing across the room comforting his mother. Cora looked up at the sound of the door slamming against the wall, and the look in her eyes as she realised Pedro had left the room made my heart jerk; I could literally see her h

    Freya POV I can feel my heart pounding against my chest, my stomach is churning like there’s no tomorrow, and my hands won't stop trembling. Sickly saliva keeps flooding my mouth, so I swallow it back down, refusing to let my nerves get the best of me. The smell of mildew is drowned out by Eric’s scent, which is driving me wild; I can see why Callan is always sniffing Ayla now. An awkward silence fills the room; I keep opening my mouth to say something, but I quickly close it, afraid my words will come out all jumbled. It’s just me and Eric now. Doctor Whitelock left Eric in my care 30 minutes ago, and all I have been able to say since then is erm, when Eric asked me how I was after my father arranged to have me beaten to a pulp. I still have nightmares of that day; faceless people haunt my every thought. Well, that is until Eric is close by; he chases away all my fears. “Freya, I will be okay if you want to go and check on your mum.” His words seem to snap me out of my own mortify

    Micha POV Silence filled the room as the curling wisps of scarlet mist rose from the vial in Rosie’s hand. I glanced across the room at Cora; her mouth was open, and her deep, shallow breaths made her chest rise rapidly. I turned to look at my dad; his eyes were locked onto Cora, watching her carefully, but I could see the rage ticking in his jaw as he clenched it. Callan sat beside Ayla; he had his arm wrapped around her protectively, and I could see the way he kept glaring at Rosie; his back was rigid, and I knew Callan better than I knew myself; he wasn’t just worried about finding out we had all been lied to our entire lives and that Cora had been under a spell created by his father so he could take over our pack; something else was going on with him. Ayla gave him a small nudge, making him look down lovingly into her eyes. I never thought I would see the day of Callan truly happy, but Ayla made him smile without even trying. She made him happier than I had ever seen before, and

    Callan POV Deafening silence filled the room; the only sound I could hear was the rustling of Dr Whitelock’s shirt as he gently moved around Eric, meticulously checking his wounds, which were now healing fast, much to my relief. “You think he used a spell to replicate the mate bond?” Freya asked our mother, her eyes never leaving Eric, though, as she watched what the doctor was doing. “I am positive. I never really loved your father; it was more of an infatuation in the beginning. It was nothing like what I felt for Pedro. As soon as your grandfather found out about it, he insisted I accept him, telling me how blessed I was to be given a fated mate by the goddess herself, and that was when the feelings came, after I accepted him as my mate, but the feelings I had for him felt unnatural, like they had been planted inside my mind.” “So you and my dad were a thing?” Micha asked. Mum nodded her head, swallowing what seemed to be a large lump in her throat. “Then how did he end up bein

    Callan POV A fresh swell of fury pulsed through me, racing through my veins, making my blood boil, and causing my skin to sizzle. Alister stood smiling at me while the stranger he called son began to pace in front of me. His hand flicked forward, sending the red spark that flickered across his fingers just a second ago toward me, but because Minister Robert had spent the last month training us how to defend against magical attacks, I expected that and slid to the left, letting the red spark skim past my body. I could feel the heat from it grazing against my fur, and the smell of burning plastic stung my nose. “Enough. No one will be fighting today. I just wanted to come and see how my pack was doing and to return something to you.” Alister interrupted. I didn’t take my eyes off Alister’s other son; the corner of his lip twitched into a half-smirk, and his eyes had an inner glow that screamed wickedness. I bolted toward him, crashing my large frame into his skinny one, sending him

    Ayla POV The large man's hands gripped my arms firmly, but he didn’t squeeze as he pulled me away; he was quite delicate, which surprised me. We began our walk back toward the house, the smell of the wildflowers and the woodsy scent of the trees becoming fainter the closer we got, and as the trees began to thin out, replaced with the smell of freshly cut grass and roses. I glanced over my shoulder hoping to get a glimpse of Callan but instead saw the hulking black wolf I had met once before when Callan’s father had made him turn to stop him from hurting me. That ferocious beast flashed through my mind, but the fear I felt that night no longer accompanied the memories; now I felt awe when I gazed upon it. Callan’s wolf was enormous; his paws looked bigger than my head, and the muscles on his legs showed that Callan was powerful, but I had heard all about Callan’s father, and the fear that had been pushed deep down into my stomach because Callan had chased it all away by being with me,

    Callan POV My stomach dropped as a chill ran up my spine, making goosebumps prickle across my skin. Alister was here, and so was Ayla. “Take Ayla to my mother and sister and get the beta to meet me outside the boundary wall.” “Yes, Alpha.” I stepped forward but felt a tug on my arm, stopping me from taking another step toward Alister. “No, Callan, don't go,” Ayla begged. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears; all I wanted to do was wrap her in my arms and make everything better for her, but the urge to keep her safe from Alister was stronger than my need to hold her. Not only did I have the elf to worry about, but Alister was also a threat to Ayla; he knew Ayla was my mate, and if he wanted to hurt me, he knew all he had to do was hurt Ayla, but I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe from both of them. I cupped her cheek and ran my thumb across her soft skin. “Ayla, I have to. He will kill everyone here if I don't stop him.” Her face paled; I nodded to the guard who had
