Callan POV

I hear the front door closing and look up from the pile of paperwork laid on the table in front of me to see Micha walking in, I glance at my watch and notice he has been gone for the last 90 minutes. His face has a smug look plastered on it, piquing my interest in what he has been doing for the last one and a half hours.

“What’s made you so happy?” I ask.

“I’ve just met Iris and Wyatt’s daughter, Ayla, and she is.. interesting.”

The name Ayla makes my wolf stir and my heart race, but it also ignites fury deep inside of me hearing it come from another man’s mouth. I sit up straight, feeling uncomfortable with what is happening to me from hearing some girl's name.

“She’s just moved back in with them, and fuck she’s sexy, I wouldn’t mind getting to know her better. Where’s Eric?” Micha continues as he moves across the penthouse, pulling the fridge door open. Fury pumped through my veins, making my blood boil. I can feel the heat of rage consuming me. I clenched my fists

    Ayla POV “Are you sure you wouldn’t rather just grab some wine and we can drink at your place?” I asked Nicola for the tenth time since leaving my parents flat. No matter how hard I tried to fight her on things, I always somehow seemed to cave in and do what she wanted, I think it’s because she is so domineering and dynamic, that I couldn’t really help but say yes to her. I squirm in the fake leather seat in the back of the taxi feeling underdressed, especially in comparison to Nicola. I hadn’t brought many of my clothes when I went back to Marcus’ flat, I just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible so I grabbed the first things my hands landed on and threw them into the bag but Nicola was a force to be reckoned with when she wanted something. I must admit she did have a way of making me feel good about myself, and she had managed to pull off making me look somewhat decent. She went through the few clothes I did have, picking out the nicest top which was a simple white top

    Ayla POV I spun around to see Micha and Eric watching me trying to make the great escape. “You caught me!”I held my hands in the air making them smile. “We are just heading to another bar, do you want to join us?” Micha asked with a dashing smile. I found myself nodding my head in agreement, even though I had just been longing for my bed, I knew going with the two handsome men would be much more fun. “Great, let's go!” Eric clapped his hands and climbed into the front of the taxi I had just gotten for myself to take me home.The night seemed to blur into nonstop laughter, Micha was hilarious and such a smooth talker, ladies seemed to be throwing themselves at him and Eric was oblivious to how good-looking he was. Not once did either man try to make a move on me, and I felt like I was in the company of people I had known my whole life. We ended up falling into a taxi and rolling home at 2 am, something I hadn’t done since I left uni. As I stumbled out of the taxi the fresh air

    Callan POV My mind was in turmoil. Haunted by a fucking scent and a name that had no meaning to me. That name was branded onto my brain, repeating over and over until I wanted to scream just to hear something different, and that scent was burnt into my nostrils. God, it made me feel like a man starved of water for a thousand years and the source of that scent was the elixir of life. I lay on the sofa listening to the sound of the wind as it rushed past the window, rustling the leaves of the forest surrounding me. I closed my eyes, praying to the goddess that I could finally fall asleep, but she had different ideas, she wanted to torture me and play the mantra going around my head louder. Ayla, Ayla, Ayla. “Fuck it!” I growled. I grabbed my brown leather laptop bag which was filled with the paperwork I had been trying to complete before I left for the pack meeting last night and sat down at the dining table, pulling out the folders of work that I couldn’t be arsed to do. But wha

    Ayla POV I dropped down onto the sofa letting the hangover fully take me, when I first saw Marcus and that other woman it felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest whilst it still beat, but seeing him just now, I didn’t feel anything for him anymore, in fact, I felt free. A week ago I thought I would marry Marcus, but seeing him just now made me doubt all my feelings before. Now I can see I didn’t love Marcus as much as I thought. “I’m going to have a shower and then go for a walk to clear my head. Can I get to the forest through that gate?” “Yes, there’s a path that leads toward the stream, and then there’s the path we used to take when you were younger. Do you want some company?” I smiled at my mum and nodded my head, I would love nothing more than to spend some time with the wonderful woman in front of me. The air outside was cold but pleasant, the forest around the house was beautiful, large trees towered above us, and the leaves were a beautiful shade of green, castin

    Callan POV The whole drive to college, Freya didn't stop talking. I didn't mind, she distracted me from my own disturbing thoughts of violence and murder. I dropped her off, watching her as she joined her friends. She looked so happy when she was away from Alister, his abusiveness just a distant memory. Her smile was large and bright, and her rich dark eyes sparkled as she nodded her head and laughed with a young man who seemed to be a little too friendly for my liking. *I thought you had a job to get to.* she mocked. The corner of my lip curled up. *I'm going.* I replied as I started the car and headed in the direction of the new plot of land we had recently purchased. It was a big piece of land close to The Miner's, it sat on the border of the town. It had once been a field the old farmer would graze his cows on, but now it sat there empty. As I got out of my car, I noticed Eric standing with a group of people wearing yellow hi-vis vests and bucket hats. “Callan, this is the

    Callan POV Driving toward the office felt wrong, everything inside me wanted to turn around and drive back home, back to that voice. But that was just irrational. Although that sweet melodic voice soothed my raging soul, hearing that man declaring his love for whoever the voice belonged to made me and my wolf want to go on a murderous rampage, starting with him. “Pull it together Callan!” I growled at myself as I pulled up in my parking spot in the car park across the road from the office building in the centre of town. The lobby of the office was busy. The building has 8 different companies that all work in this one building. My office was on the 7th floor. Luckily, we had the whole of the 7th floor to ourselves. As the elevator door slid open, and I stepped off, a couple of wolves from the pack scurried back into their desks, looking suspicious as I strode past them. I employed quite a few wolves from the pack, some worked on the sites labouring and some helped around the offic

    Callan POV Last night was just as bad as the night before, my sleep was broken, disturbed by that name and who was sleeping below me. And when I did sleep my dreams were just as tortured. My dream girl, the girl I had dreamed of for as long as I could remember and tainted every woman I met, had vanished. Instead of seeing her beautiful smile or that sparkle in her eye, I was forced to search for that smell, but it was always out of my grasp, and all I could hear was that voice echoing in the distance, urging me to find her. The sound of Micha and Eric’s alarms going off is like a sweet relief to my ears. The night was finally over, I quickly dressed into my workout clothes, opting for some black joggers and a grey t-shirt. Then I headed to the kitchen and grabbed my water bottle and a protein shake for after the morning training. “I heard you ran into the elf again last night,” Micha says as he grabs his water bottle and a protein shake, shoving them into his bag. “That thing is ha

    Callan POV Alister was good at hiding his emotions, or he just didn’t have any, but I saw his eyes widen ever so slightly, giving me the satisfaction of knowing I had pissed him off. It was one of the things that gave me immense joy. His footsteps thundered behind me and his foul stench of cheap whiskey drifted up my nose, making my stomach twist. Trust him to attack a man from behind. I spun around and saw him storming toward me, his strides wide and menacing and his face red, the vein at the side of his forehead throbbed, and I couldn’t stop the corner of my lip from curling up with satisfaction. “What did you say to me, you insolent little fuck!” “Boys, I need a word with you all once we have finished with training,” Pedro shouted. Alister's jaw clenched as he glared deeply into my eyes, waiting for me to back down. I pushed my shoulders back and stepped closer to the arsehole but Ron and Eric both stepped between us, defusing the situation. *Not now Callan.* Eric said, lo

    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
