The bathtub was cool against my back as I leaned against it. I’d been sitting on the floor of the bathroom for at least a couple hours. Every so often wrenching into the toilet. Today was the day I was giving Nate his punishment. I’d woken up early in a cold sweat and whatever strength I had gained back over the last couple of weeks seemed to leave me. Reaching up, I grabbed the cold wet cloth and put it on my head, closing my eyes.
“Sol…”
My eyes peeled open to see Finn crouched down, looking at me with both pity and worry.
“I’ll be fine. Just…I need a minute.”
“I know, sweetheart. I know.” He rubbed my shoulders and I sighed.
Noah leaned against the doorway. “You sure you want to do this, Sol? There are other ways.”
“If I don’t do this, then he’ll take th

My old man wanted it to be a public display but Nate wouldn’t have been able to keep his position, let alone keep my name out of it since I was his mate. The whole pack knew Nate and I were mates and that he was still searching for me. That complicated matters but I used it to my advantage. We would have a collection of people to witness.Silas and Sam would have to be there as leadership. Meredith requested to be there, citing she would be Shep’s assistant as he was going to be there as the medical team. No one else knew who I was so it worked out better. Charles had to be there per the court order and I hoped he would be okay. It was going to be hard to swallow as just a wolf but for a human this wouldn’t be allowed. Noah, Finn, the two Kings Guards and I were all that would be present. I preferred it this way and honestly, I knew part of me may have to use my power to get through this.“Sol.”I looked up and Noah had parked in fr

Reaching into the case, I pulled out the whip. You forget the weight that a whip has until you have it in your hand. I rolled the handle in my hand and sent a wave through the end of it. It wasn’t enough to crack but I was able to get it picked up off the ground.“Alpha, you can get started.” Finn stepped back, out of range like I asked.Turning, I held my chin up, not allowing the tears I felt threatening to came forward to spill. Nate was on his knees, his slightly tanned skin clear of any scars. The potion would stop him from bleeding to death, allowing the full amount of lashes but it didn’t stop the pain. In fact, it was heightened by the fact that he currently was just human.“Let’s get started then.”I wet my lips and tightened my grip on the handle. Meredith, Silas, Sam, Charles and Shep were on my left, far enough away that I didn’t need to worry abou

*** Nate’s POV ***My eyes opened and immediately I regretted it. The searing pain radiated throughout my entire body. The pillow under my head felt like it was making my neck hurt more than it was helping. What the hell happened? I closed my eyes for a second, trying to go over the information of what was missing. It was like a lightening bolt. The pain in my heart hurt worse than anything coming from my back. Goddess, Aelia had to stand through two hundred lashes. Any mate having to do that to another, mated or not, would crumble. Letting a sob escape, I deserved this pain but she didn’t. Aelia didn’t deserve anything she’d come across in her life.The door opened up and I watched Silas and Shep step through. Silas made eye with me and sighed.“How you doing? How’s the pain?”I turned my head. “It’s nothing.”“Nate…”“How’s Solaris?” I used her new name since Shep was here. She never really said who knew and who didn’t.Silas came around, sitting on the stool that I had in front of

The mind link fizzled for a minute before a voice came through. It had been spotty at best since the potion was still wearing off. I couldn’t shift but I could now mind-link and pick up things that weighed more than seventy pounds without grunting.'Beta?''I can hear you. What up, Mark?'I set down the tablet I’d been drawing on for the past forty-five minutes. We were planning a new residential area within the pack territory. It required a rough sketch of the housing layout to see how many homes we could fit without feeling like sardines. As much as we were pack wolves, we still like our space from our neighbors.'I wanted to give you a heads up, there was a rogue running close to our borders a moment ago. Came in from the east side, swung down south and then followed the river. Looks like towards the ponds.'My eyes narrowed. 'Just one?''Yeah. They also looked like they were carrying an instrument on their back, or at least of of those hard-shell rectangular cases.'We’d seen some

“You should head back to your territory, Nate.” Her words weren’t an order, but they held an air of ‘don’t argue with me’.“No.”Funny enough, one of the side effects of the potion was because my wolf side had been locked didn’t, commands didn’t work as well as they would normally. We found that out when Silas tried to order me back to bed and I could not only ignore it but also refuse.“Nate…”“You took one hundred lashes that I wouldn’t have to, didn’t you?”I looked at Aelia but it was Keri who shook her head and answered. “No, you dumb ass. She took one hundred lashes because if she didn’t, you would have had…”A swift glare from Aelia shut her up. “This is none of your business, Nate. Go home.”It was a little more forceful this time but I still ignored it. “Tell me, A! Don’t just

Her head tilted to the side for a moment. “I’m not sure. Bruising is a bigger deal than just bleeding but I’m not sure how bad the repercussions of this will be. Worth it though.” She looked at me, a smile playing on her lips. “Worth it if it means you come out of this ordeal alive.” Shaking my head, I sighed. “You say that like my life means more than yours.” Her chuckle reverberated through the quiet night of the forest. “It always has. Back then andnow.” “How? How can you just devalue your…” “I’m not devaluing anything. Contrary to popular belief, I do actually enjoy living. I’d love to have been able to move forward; have the giant family we talked about. Be an aunt for Noah and Finn one day. Live outside this craziness I got swept up in.” She sighed. “I just don’t have the time or luxury to do so. Back then, I made the decision because I knew Silas needed you more. Now, I make the decision because

*** Solaris POV ***After the lashes, everything started to get worse. I did my best to hide the more major issues I was running into but it was getting harder to do everything normally. The biggest change they knew was that I was sleeping more. They stopped disturbing me and let me sleep in later. Noah had taken oven most of the paperwork now, and I just enjoyed working behind the bar with them.My eyes fluttered open as I heard wrenching coming from the bathroom. Throwing the blanket off me, I got up, wobbling a little but I opened up the bathroom door. Finn was on his knees, bent over the toilet. His eyes met mine but quickly he turned back, throwing up into the toilet.Grabbing a washcloth, I ran it under cold water and rung it out before I placed it on Finns forehead. Gently rubbing his back, I waited until he finally settled back a little. Reaching forward, I flushed the toilet and rinsed the cloth under cold water again. Pulling him back, I

Finn’s arms were wrapped around my middle while his head rested on my shoulder. I rode my motorcycle up into Silas’ territory and headed into the town square. To say we turned heads was an understatement but I didn’t care. I usually turned heads everywhere I went but Finn seemed a little uncomfortable with the attention. Pulling up to Shep’s private office, I turned off the engine. “What are we doing here, Sol?” I looked at him. “Getting you checked out.” His eyes widened and he started to sputter when I grabbed his hand. Pulling him around the corner and into the office, Shep was smiling at us. “Alpha asked if I could see some interesting folks today but you exceeded my expectation.” I chuckled. “Shep, it’s good to see you.” Holding out my hand to shake his, he took it but his other hand covered mine. “How Silas couldn’t see it, I don’t know, but you are the spitting image of your mother.” My eyes widened but I just smiled. “You’re as

I hopped the ledge as I saw Nate struggling to set her down. Coming up next to him, I got my hands under his arms to help with the weight. Noah came on the other side and all three of us lifted her onto the wood structure. Finn came up behind us and stepped up, taking the a small stone and pressing it to the white silk. It must have been infused with some type of magic because the white silk faded. It happened so quickly I didn’t have time to prepare. My body started to shake and I reached out, grabbing the closest thing for stability which happened to be Nate’s shoulder. They had dressed her in her uniform. It was a far cry from the bloodied and mud-caked version that I carried back to the tent. Her face looked peaceful, and even though you could see how thin she had gotten, there wasn’t the immense dark circles. She didn’t look sick. With the eyelids down, I wondered if they left her eye in. Her leg and arm were missing but I knew what originally was holding that together was her.

Tucking in my shirt, I took a couple of deep breaths. I hadn’t really slept last night. My mind and heart being pulled very which way. It was frustrating and exhausting. Today though, all I needed to do was to show up. Grabbing my watch off my dresser, I was securing the clasp on my wrist when the door to my bedroom opened.“Alpha, are you almost ready?”“Yeah, one second, Sam.”Turning, I started to walk towards him but he stared at me, looking me up and down. “Alpha…are you…not going to wear a tie?”I smirked. “Are you seriously criticizing how I’m dressed?” For the second time in two days, my jokes didn’t land.Sam frowned and furrowed his brow. “You look like you’re going into the office to work. You can’t…”Charles put his hand on Sam’s shoulder and pulled him back. “Why don’t you go get Nate? We will meet you down at pools.”Sam looked up at his mate and nodded, disappearing down the hall. Charles walked into the room and my eyes narrowed. We hadn’t spoken since he slammed the d

I didn’t even bother to pretend like I was working. Sam hadn’t given me any work anyways. The whole pack seemed at a standstill. Either they had come to know Aelia as the plucky fun bartender who they liked or, like my warriors, learned just how much of a badass she was. Was. Past tense. My sister was gone, again. Again she slipped through my fingers. Again she protected us. Again she gave everything up for us. But this time, there was no room for hope. She was gone for good this time. Again I couldn’t save her.The Alpha King had been called and was already marching out here to provide her with a proper funeral. Finn just about lost it when the Alpha King tried to take her body back to the castle. Finn was right though. She came here for a reason and stayed here for a reason. My lips thinned. She stayed here for us. We were the reason and now her soul would be given to the Moon Goddess from her favorite place. The place that I had originally found out that she was my sister.My messa

*** Silas POV ***Her breathing stopped. Aelia’s body fell slack in the lap of Finn, her head falling to one side. Finn screamed as Noah held onto him for dear life. Tears streamed down my face as I stared at what was my sister. Nate was curled up into a ball, wailing as he held her hand to his chest. My heart felt like it had been torn from my chest. A silver bullet straight into my heart. It hurt to breath, hurt to be alive. Eros howled within me, crying as only he knew how.She was within my grasp. I finally had her. There were so many more things I needed to tell her, wanted to tell her and that I wanted to ask her. Force her to spill all her secrets that she held from us. Ask her advice on moving forward and how I was supposed to handle the pack. Now, she was gone. My baby sister was gone.When my father said she died, I was angry. That anger drove me and helped me move forward. It’s what I lived on and thrived on. Seeing Aelia again, watching her smile, watching her be happy and

My sword swiftly beheaded a Hunter before plunging into heart of the one next to him. One of my swords had broken and been lost a long time ago. Looking around, it was still raining. It hadn’t even let up once. Bodies littered the ground. We had made headway, pushing the Hunters back and now we just piled them up one after another. My breath showed in the storm and it had dropped even colder from when we started a couple hours ago.Another Hunter attacked me but I nimbly turned, easily using my strength to remove his upper half from the lower half. His body fell in two as his blood sprayed all over me. My eyes still glowed, I still held onto the power as it was the only thing holding me up. The moment I let go was the moment I would leave this world. The magic in my arms, legs, and eye were even crackling under my power.I was able to see every Hunter and their aura within the area. The rain wouldn’t help my real eye but it didn’t hinder my magic one. Most of my boys had stayed in for

It started to pour sometime in the evening and only got worse as it dawned on the third day. I sat in my chair my fingers laced together, my chin resting on them. My eyes glazed over as I stared nothing, listening to the rain hit the top of my tent. Three days I hadn’t slept. I’d filled my time with everything but sleeping. Battle plans, final checks of troops, Silas’ territory terrain, the endless trails of goodbyes from my warriors. Nate had come at the behest of a few of my warriors. They were worried when I started mulling about the tents looking like the grim reaper was holding me up. He came in, didn’t say a thing as he picked me up and deposited me back into my chair inside my tent. Staying with me for a couple hours, we spoke about everything and nothing. We talked about the old house that we dreamed as kids. I shook my head as Nate tried to remember the color schemes of all the bedrooms. For a while, it was a break from the current and impending situation. Eventually though,

Nate’s arms moved and I had expected Silas to pick me up. But instead, the soothing electricity coursed through me as Nate pulled me close to his chest and stood. His body was shaking slightly but after a couple steps, it was far sturdier. “Where to Aelia?”I swallowed, trying to wet my dry mouth. “They should have set up the Alpha Prince tent for me.”“Aelia! Just come home!” Silas was standing but it was Keri, who moved from behind the tree she had been leaning against, that spoke.She put a hand on Silas’ shoulder. “She belongs there, Alpha. She belongs with her men. With her family.”Silas’ shoulders dropped and he moved out of the way. Nate started to walk, not saying anything. We wove our way through the trees and at one point I closed my eyes, leaning my head against mate.As much as my life has turned out like this, I couldn’t image if that hadn’t happened. If the Hunters had never come. When I was four, I knew Nate was my fated mate but I also saw the golden braid connecting

My legs were crossed as I sat in my chair that looked more like a throne with how we were set up. I had my hands intertwined in my lap and my back was straight. Keri said I had to choose what I needed to do but I worried about hurting them still. I loved Noah and Finn. They were my best friends, my partners, my Betas and my lovers. We had gone through so much together and hurting them was never my intention no matter how much it seemed like my actions did.Keri was on my right, Nate and Silas were standing to my left. Behind me, Colton and Dylan were standing to step in front of me. Some of my warriors who weren’t actively engaged in planning, or dealing with other orders, were standing to attention in the clearing. All armed and ready.I looked up at Keri. “Whatever you do, don’t hurt Finn.”“If he comes after you, Alpha, I’m going to put him in his place. I will avoid all vitals and his pup but a broken arm won’t hurt anything but him. Noah is free game.” She almost looked gleeful.
