Callan POV

Ayla’s eyes watched me as I walked across the field back to her. She looked pale, all the colour had drained from her cheeks.

“What happened before Ayla?” I asked as soon as I got back into the car.

She had been sitting inside of it waiting for me for the last 10 minutes and her scent had completely filled the place, making my mind go hazy and my wolf wild. All I wanted to do was inhale the delicious smell until there was nothing left.

“I think I’m just overtired. I’ve not been sleeping properly.”

I could see the cogs in her head turning, but she wasn’t going to tell me what had just happened, but I knew something had. Her eyes were completely white when I turned her around after her fingers grazed the rock, and she asked where he had gone. Had she seen that fucker Runduc?

“I have to go back to the office, so I can speak to Micha and Eric, but how about we skip work today?”

Her eyes squinted together, but she gave me a half smile which made her look devilish.

    Ayla POV I can’t help but watch Callan as he drives us to a mysterious destination. The way the sun catches in his hair makes him look heavenly. Excitement bubbles in my stomach at the idea of spending another day with this extraordinary man. He undid the top button of his shirt, rolling his head, and stretching his neck before pulling his tie loose. Did I make him just as nervous as he made me? “So I know this might sound childish, but there’s a kite festival I thought we could go to.” He turned to look at me, making my cheeks blush at being caught watching him, his lips curled up into a seductive smile that, if I were standing, would have made my knees weak. “That sounds fun.” We drove along the prom toward the town next to ours, turning toward the Victorian promenade there and parking. I got out of the car, zipping my coat up as the wind whipped around me. “Let’s go pick a kite,” Callan said as he wrapped his arm around my neck. I loved how he always held my hand or wrapped

    Callan POV I could feel the pit in my stomach grow heavy as I watched Ayla walk into the bar, it was getting harder to leave her. Each time I had to say goodbye to her, she took a piece of my heart with her. It took all of my strength to drive away, and the drive back home seemed to be the longest journey I had ever taken. I had a deep longing for Ayla and knew now that there was no going back, not for me, she was my everything now. I just hoped she could accept me once she found out who I really was. “Where’s Ayla?” Eric asked as I walked through the door alone. “She agreed to help out that friend of hers. What time do we have to meet Minister Robert?” “He’s coming here in an hour,” Micha announced as he looked at his watch. He held a beer out to me as he walked past, but I held my hand up and shook my head. I was seeing Ayla again at 9, and I wouldn’t jeopardise the chance to see her by drinking and not being able to drive, plus I wanted to make sure I had a clear head from no

    Callan POV *No, I wouldn’t tell him that Callan.* my mother answered. “Do you mind if I take a look at this fairy circle, maybe there’s something we are missing?” The Minister asked. “Of course. I have an archaeologist there who specialises in ancient structures. She also happens to be a wolf, so she can help you.” “Thank you, Alpha Callan,” Minister Robert said. Alister’s lips pinched together, his eyes narrowed as he glared at the Minister. I glanced at my watch, noticing it was almost time to collect Ayla. “If we’re done here, we have somewhere we need to be.” Micha and Eric both stood up, knowing I needed them to go with me now so Alister wouldn’t become suspicious. He stormed toward the door, crashing his shoulder into me as he passed. *I'm sorry son, I love you.* Mum said as she gently cupped my cheek. I didn’t blame her for telling Alister, he would have beat the shit out of Freya if she hadn’t, and I would never wish that on my baby sister. *It's OK mum, I understan

    Ayla POV The air in the room was so intense it was stifling, I could feel the electricity brushing against my skin from the built-up sexual tension between me and the god sitting beside me. All I could think about was how I wanted to run my tongue along his delectable body and let him ravish me, but even now, after what just happened between us in that bar, he was still a gentleman and insisted we take this thing between us slowly instead of letting me live out all my fantasies involving him, which just made me love him all the more, and that scared me, I was falling hard and fast for this man. “Are you sure you're not going to get fired?” I asked Nicola one more time. “As much as my boss is a scumbag, he also knows that what that guy did was bang out of order. He’s just glad your boyfriend didn’t kick the shit out of him.” I glanced up at Callan, who had a smirk slapped across his face. I shook my head at him, but even when he was cocky, he was still breathtakingly handsome. I le

    Ayla POV Callan sat beside me, his hand reached across the small space and grabbed mine. His thumb ran across my knuckles, sending pleasant tingles up and down my arm. I stretched my neck out trying to get some focus, but his touch was distracting, all I wanted to do was pounce on him. Callan knew what he was doing to me. I could see his sly smile as his fingers trailed along my skin. I reached across and grabbed him by his shirt and smashed my lips onto his, his hands grabbed a hold of my face and I could feel his fingers moving through my hair. His tongue pushed into my mouth and danced against my tongue. I felt him pulling me up off my chair and sitting me down on his lap. I wrapped my hand around his neck as I deepened the kiss. My whole body felt like it was on fire. I pulled away panting. “You drive me crazy.” He whispered as he rested his forehead against mine. I knew exactly how he felt, all I wanted was him, he had only just come into my life, but I was consumed by him,

    Ayla POV “I am so disappointed in you, Ayla.” I stop, frozen in fear as the man I now know as Runduc strolls out of my bedroom as if he owns the place. “Do you like the flowers?” He asked, glancing at the bluebells sitting on the counter. “I picked them especially for you.” I took a step back, freeing my body from its shock. My legs felt weak as if my body was too heavy for them to support any longer, but I knew I had to run. I spun around, darting for the door, but Runduc was unnaturally fast. He stood in front of me, blocking my only way of escaping, making me yelp in surprise at his sudden appearance. “What do you want?” I asked as I backed away from the tall man, moving closer to the kitchen. “I told you what I want, Ayla. I want your magic. I am going to drain every single drop of it from your body.” “I don’t know what you mean, I don’t have any magic,” I cried. “Yet, but you will soon.” I felt the kitchen drawer handle dig into my back, and knew I was close to

    Callan POV I knew life was too good for me at the moment, I had been sucked into an Ayla-sized bubble and was excited to wake up every day just so I could see her. My life now had a purpose other than becoming Alpha. I could see a future full of happiness and love, I could see myself and Ayla with a little family and I couldn’t wait. I should have known that at any given moment my happiness would come crashing down around me. When Minister Robert told me of Alister's plans to marry Freya to the Alpha of The Rabidcrest Pack, I never thought it would be so soon, plans had to be made, deals and pacts had to be made and everyone involved had to agree. I thought I had more time to stop Alister’s seeded little plan, but I had never been more wrong in my life. “I’m glad to see so many faces today, I have an important announcement to make.” The tosser declared as he stood at the front of the house looking at all of the pack's warriors as they gathered ready for training. He emitted an extr

    Callan POV My mouth felt dry as I looked at all the heads of the pack warriors who were now looking to me to lead them. A dull thump began to drum against my temple as a heaviness settled on my stomach. “Stand up. You can all go home for the day, we will begin training again tomorrow.” I declared. “Can I talk to you for a minute?” I whispered to the Minister and my mother. The warriors of the pack were leaving the field. Some of them left in the direction of the forest, but most went into the pack house to get ready for the day. I could hear the minister and my mother following behind me. I made my way into one of the private studies my grandfather used. I knew that it was safe here to speak freely. Most of the rooms were made of solid brick and stone but also soundproofed so no one could eavesdrop. “What is it?” My mum asked. “I can’t be the Alpha yet, I have to make sure I stay close to.” I stopped realising the Minister didn’t know. “Who?” He asked. “He has a mate, a tr

    Callan POV I stand on the stage looking out toward my pack. Minister Robert stands in front of me; his long red robe brushes against the floor of the stage. I can hear the silence of the night; not a single sound can be heard apart from the pounding of my heart in my ears. The smell of pine trees fills the night air; it mixes with the smell of perfume and aftershave of the pack, all watching this monumental moment in our pack's history. “Does anyone here challenge Callan Carmichael for his title as alpha?” Minister Robert shouted, piercing the silence with his booming voice. I found myself holding my breath as I waited to see if anyone accepted the challenge; silence swirled around me as my heart pounded in my chest. “Please kneel, Alpha.” Minister Robert demanded. The muscles in my body relaxed; my pack wanted me as their alpha; no one challenged my title. I dropped down onto my knees. Minister Robert took the wolf dagger out from his belt rope and sliced the palm of his han

    Ayla POV Everything feels surreal; the only time I know reality from illusion is when Callan touches me. His fingers brushing against my skin makes everything snap back into place. The world stops morphing into one of fantasy and becomes the world I know. His touch calms the chaotic affliction that is consuming my body and my soul. I can feel him trying to reach me through our bond; it feels like a constant pounding on my brain, like I have a door inside my head and he is knocking on it desperate to get in, but if I let him in, if he finds out the truth, how my body feels like it’s going to implode at any given moment taking me and everything around me, he won’t go through with his alpha ceremony, and even though it was only a dream, I can’t shake the warning of the lady who called herself Selene, the goddess of the moon. It wasn’t that long ago I thought I was dreaming of Duscellis and Runduc, and how very wrong I was about that. The nurse Callan has asked to stay with me is sitti

    Callan POV “Ayla, you need me.” I protest as I slip my shirt on. Ayla had been awake for most of the day, but I wasn’t convinced she was actually any better. She had eaten quite a lot today, which was something she hadn’t done for the last few days, but her skin still looked a little flushed, and her temperature only seemed to settle when I was touching her; standing close to her, I could feel the heat emitting from her body; it was like standing next to a radiator on a cold winter's morning, but she was insistent she was fine, stubbornly insistent. I had tried to feel her through our bond, hoping to see if I could feel what she was feeling, but she had somehow locked it up again. She was sitting on the bed watching me, her breath caught in her throat as her gaze followed my hands as I buttoned up my shirt. “No, your pack needs you, Callan. I promise I will be ok.” “Knock knock, are you ready?” Micha asked as he stuck his head into the room. “Almost,” I answered. “You look bett

    Callan POV The sound of our footsteps bounces off the stone floor and echoes up in the high ceiling of the hallway that wraps around the courtyard where the ancient tree stands. Ayla’s excitement bubbles inside my chest; I can feel a strange energy surrounding her; it feels like static, all the hairs on my arm are standing on end, and the energy is radiating from her across the space, filling every crevice of the narrow hallway. I open the door, holding it as she walks through; she glances up and smiles at me, but her eyes make my breath catch in my throat; they are ablaze, bright purple lights shine out from her eyes, but she looks so ethereal. I watch as she walks across the courtyard; her footsteps are light and make a soft padding noise on the stone floor, her hips sway so seductively, I feel entranced by them and her curvaceous ass; her hand is outstretched toward the tree, and as she passes by the beautiful violets my mother planted, I watch in awe as they all seem to bend towa

    Ayla POV My head is buzzing; all I can hear is a low humming noise, but the sound is deep and resonates in my bones, making my body feel like it’s shaking. My body feels like someone has replaced my blood with acid, and my skin itches so bad, it feels like I have insects crawling just beneath the surface. I’ve not left Callan’s bedroom for the last couple of days; I can see the worry in his eyes every time he comes to check on me, but he has more important things to worry about than a stupid virus that will be over soon. Callan’s touch and sleep seem to be the only release I get from the pain, but I don’t want Callan to drop everything just so he can stay with me. Lately, my dreams have become demented; as soon as I close my eyes, all I see is women being hunted by Runduc, pain and brutish force inflicted upon these innocent women that I feel so connected to. I can feel their torment and pain as if it were my own, and the people I love lay slaughtered by his feet. I hear their scream

    Callan POV “He's bullshitting!” Micha growled as he paced the floor of my office. The air in the room felt thick; I could feel Micha’s fury and Eric’s outrage smothering me. If it wasn’t for Ayla’s scent, which seemed to surpass all the other scents in the room, I would have lost my shit an hour ago when Micha demanded we speak. “And what if he’s not?” “He is.” He growled. “What if he can help me protect Ayla?” Micha stopped pacing now and turned to glare at me. His jaw clenched, and his eyes narrowed. “I will help you protect Ayla and Eric will; you have a pack out there willing to protect their Luna. We don’t need some fucking nut job who we don’t even know.” “He’s right, Callan. Rosie and her coven are helping us; we don’t need someone like him.” Eric agreed. Ayla stood up from the sofa in the room and made her way over to me; the sound of the denim of her jeans brushing against her legs got closer along with her intoxicating scent, which was already chasing away the migra

    Callan POV The smell of food still lingered in the air from dinner; all of the tables had been pushed aside, and benches had been set out in rows facing the front of the banquet hall, where I sat waiting with Ayla. I must admit it felt fucking amazing having her sitting beside me like this; my Luna was taking her place. The large chandeliers above us cast a bright white light into the room, but there was an unnatural chill in the air, even though I was happy to finally be getting rid of Alister, a giant ball of dread coiled in my stomach. Minister Robert stood in front of me, ready to address the pack, and sitting to my right were Micha, Eric, and Freya. My mother sat at the very front on the benches, blending in with the pack; she had her hands folded in front of her, resting on her lap; she had a grim twist to her mouth, and every time she answered Ron, who was sitting beside her, she responded with a slow nod. Not once did she speak; she just slowly nodded her head as if she was o

    Ayla POV The sound of birds singing outside drifts through the open window, which allows a cool breeze to flow through the room. Callan's skin feels warm beneath my cheek as I lay on his chest, listening to the sound of his heart beating. “Good morning, beautiful.” He grumbles; his fingers brush through my hair. His arm tightens around my body as he holds me close against him. “Good morning,” “How are you feeling today?” He asks. His hand travels down my back, his fingers trailing up and down my spine; sparks of excitement flick across my skin. “I feel better.” And I did; lying like this with Callan made me feel good, amazing even. My skin didn’t feel like it was on fire, and I no longer felt lightheaded. I felt full of energy. Callan gently sat up, pulling me up with him. “I have to go to training; are you sure you're ok?” “I’m fine. I need a shower, though; is that ok?” His eyes flashed black, and I felt my lips curling up. “You make this so hard.” He grumbled. Callan

    Ayla POV Callan’s aftershave wrapped around me in a cocoon of safety; tingles ran across my lips as I felt him pressing his lips against mine. My eyes fluttered open, relieved at seeing his handsome face hovering above me, safe and untouched by Runduc. As I swung my legs out of the bed, it felt like my brain was spinning around inside my skull. I stood up wanting to get some of the food Callan had brought me, but the floor felt strange; my feet felt so heavy, like I had two bricks connected to my legs, which felt like two strands of spaghetti. My knees buckled, but thankfully I fell back onto the soft mattress, but that worry that was etched into Callan’s eyes earlier today hit me hard in my head like a train had crashed into my brain, my throat felt tight, and my chest began to burn. I didn’t want Callan to worry; he already carried the weight of the world on his shoulders because of me, and I didn’t want to burden him more than I already had, but as I leaned down to give him a kiss
