The fresh air out here is fantastic. Zidiah is a city surrounded by forests, and the atmosphere is good. But Greenrock is away from the city, and everything is peaceful.
Luther broke down in front of me earlier this evening. My heart ached so much to see him crying, though I was glad in a way. Luther needed to let out what was hurting him and to free himself of guilt and regret.
I held my mate as he cried, and I pushed back my own tears because he needed me. Luther and I talked, and I believe that he’s finally let go of what haunts him.
I even told Luther the truth of how long I’ve wished for him to be my mate. He chuckled when I told him that I used to watch him when I was a little girl.
But it was the truth; Luther has always been the man I fantasised would be my mate. The Moon Goddess was looking down on me when she g
“My father had a relationship with a woman a couple of years after my mother was killed.”I shudder for no reason at all“Dad was consumed with grief and disappear at not following Mum as is usual for our kind. My father is a powerful Alpha, and the broken mate bond didn’t take him as he’d hoped. Something or someone kept him here with me.”I feel the fingers on my right hand begin to twitch.I don’t know what power this man has, but I have my own ability. I may not know the full strength of it yet, but I’ll be damned if I ever become a victim again. No man will control or hurt me because I am stronger than I have ever been!I will crush this arsehole just as soon as I break the hold.‘
“Do you believe him?”I startle on the spot and spin to face Luther.“How long have you been out here?”Luther smirks while folding his arms across his chest.I swallow hard because he seems different.“Long enough. I was going to take a walk when I saw you out here with that guy. Then I heard him say that you’re his sister. Strange thing for one to say, especially in the middle of the night.”I clutch my stomach because I feel a little sick.“What have you done to Luther?”Because I know that I’m looking at Lorcan, I don’t feel the mate bond, and the way he’s holding himself tells me that my mate is no longer here.
Lips against mine draw a moan from my sleepy form.My eyes slowly open, and a smile cracks my lips. My beautiful mate is staring down at me with a perfect smile on her face.“Good morning, beautiful.”“Good morning,” The smile on Jenna’s face is what I live for. “How are you feeling?”“Tired.” I’m trying to keep my eyes open, but I feel unnaturally tired.Fuck!My eyes widen.“What did he do?” I swallow hard.I’m only ever this tired when Lorcan takes over. Goddess, he promised not to do that anymore!Jenna’s hand on my face calms my racing heart.“Lorcan
My stomach is doing overtime, and my heart is racing so fast I feel sick.Luther and I are standing outside of Leander’s office. I’m about to meet Sara’s parents, and I’m terrified for some reason.I don’t know why I think they won’t like me, but it keeps swimming around my head on repeat. I’ve tried to shake it off, but the thoughts won’t go.I let out a long breath as Luther squeezes my hand.“You have nothing to fear, baby girl. They’re going to love you, Jenna.”I smile up at my mate.He has this way of calming me when I’m seconds away from losing my head.“Shall we?”I nod my head but yank on Luther’s hand before
“Hey, Mum. I know it’s been a while, but I really need to talk to you.”I look around the cemetery from my kneeling position at my mothers grave. It’s been weeks since I was here last, but I really need my mother’s guidance right now.Many things keep rushing through my head. Things about Jenna and why we didn’t know about her before now.Dad is half-dragon; surely he would have scented his daughter before now?Not that Dad knows about Jenna yet. I haven’t plucked up the courage to tell him what I know yet. Dad has been through a lot in his life, and I’m not sure this won’t tip him over the edge.Dad just got back from his trip to Korea, and I know that I have to say something. I can’t let him live one more day without knowing that he has a d
“Jenna? Are you in here?”I’m confused. Jenna called me through the pack link, which she has due to being a member of the Royal pack. We don’t have a mate link yet because we haven’t completed the mating process.She didn’t seem to be distressed, though she sounded drunk. It sounds ridiculous, but Jenna is an Omega and can’t handle alcohol like other wolves of higher ranking.Jenna was giggling while telling me to find her. I looked all over the packhouse, but she was nowhere to be found.Leander informed me that Jenna hadn’t left, but he didn’t know where she could be. Sara smiled and told me to go to the room we’re staying in; maybe I’d find her there.I found this curious, so here I am. However, I don’t see Jenna anywhere. The
I feel so stupid!I shouldn’t have done this because Luther now thinks I’m crazy.Oh, Goddess, what the hell is wrong with me?After walking in the garden with Sara and asking her advice, I felt ready to be with Luther. Okay, I’m not prepared for many things, such as oral sex, because it reminds me of Philip. But I knew that I’d get there one day.However, making love with my mate is natural, and I wanted that. But Luther spurned my advances, and now I feel like a fool.I don’t want to cry, but I can feel the tears welling in my eyes. I sniff them back because I don’t want to seem weak in my mates eyes. I’ve been weak all my life, but I want to be strong.I need to put some clothes on. I’m in nothing but a bedsheet because
“That’s a lot to take in,”I nod at Leander Dalgaard.I arrived at Greenrock half an hour ago, demanding to speak with the Alpha. Of course, my son is with me; he refused to stay behind.The Beta led Slade and me to the Alpha’s office, where he told us to take a seat. The man was impatient to know what the hell I wanted.I explained straight of that Jenna is my daughter. I then explained how her mother was my second chance mate, but it didn’t work out between us.I had no idea that Sarina was a descendent of the Moon Goddess; she never expressed this to me. Though I know my son would never lie to me, I don’t believe it to be true.However, it would explain how the mate bond was broken and that my mark was removed easily. But I’m
“Remember to contact me immediately if I’m needed.”“You won’t be needed, Luther.” Christian mumbles.I grit my teeth.“Look,” He sighs. “You don’t need to repeat yourself over and over. It’s not the first time I’ve been left in charge. Nothing will happen to the pack, I promise.”Christian is right; I know he is.I’ve left the man in charge plenty of times over the past two years. He’s always done great, and I know he’ll be just as good this time.I guess I’m just nervous about seeing Lorcan, and I don’t know why. I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that something is wrong.Maybe I’m just an overprotective big brother,
Two Years Later “Jenna, do we really need to take all of this stuff?” I roll my eyes and huff at Luther. “Yes, we have to take it all! We have to be prepared for every eventuality.” Luther shakes his head while zipping my suitcase. He’s annoyed with me, and I hate that. I don’t mean to keep being difficult, but I’m scared to death of what the next few weeks will bring. Luther and I are about to visit Lorcan at his pack. No, Lorcan hasn’t found his mate, which is usually the reason a Prince acquires a pack. Orrin could no longer handle Lorcan’s erratic behaviour within the Royal pack, so Orrin sent him on his way. Orrin handed over Silver Paw pack to Lorcan on the understanding he was a good Alpha. No one agre
“How are you feeling?” I ask while tucking Jenna’s hair behind her ear.Jenna smiles.Since Jenna accepted her Goddess powers, she’s seemed lighter somehow. My mate always seemed to have the weight of the world on her shoulders, but now she’s free.“I’m fine, Luther. Please don’t worry about me, sweetheart.”I take Jenna’s face between my hands.“I can’t help but worry, Jenna. I almost lost you today. Do you have any idea what that did to me?”Jenna closes her eyes and nods her head.Tears fall from her eyes, and I feel like a cunt for upsetting her. But I need Jenna to know how hard almost losing has hit me.What happened today w
Sweet fucking freedom!In the middle of Dalgaard forest, I stand with my eyes closed and breathe in the fresh air. My lungs expand, and I’m in fucking heaven.I am alive!I have so much to thank Jenna for; that girl almost lost her life to give me my own. There is nothing I won’t do for Jenna. Anything she needs, and I’ll be there.All my life, I have waited for this moment. Now it’s here; it doesn’t feel real.I pinch my arms and chuckle because it stings. “I’m real,” I mumble to myself.“That you are,”I turn my head with a smile on my face. “What are you doing here?”Jenna walks around me, Luther holding her hand. Both stand in front
"Jenna, I want you to know that I’m sorry for all that you have suffered,”I fold my arms around myself and bite the inside of my cheek.“But there have been times where I’ve intervened in your life. I put the idea in Lorcan’s mind to convince Luther to give you his blood which saved your life. I would have smite those who hurt you, but Luther beat me to it. When your brother came to you, it was because I whispered to his subconscious where you were.“I knew that Slade would tell Jin about you, but I knew that it was time. I realised that I’d robbed you of love, and I hate myself for it.“I may not have been there for you when you needed me, but I didn’t abandon you completely. I won’t abandon you now. You’re coming home with me where you belong, and that’s fina
I’m floating outside my body, wondering if I’m alive or dead. Seeing Lorcan standing in front of Luther, smiles on their faces, happy emotions fill me. It worked; the ritual worked. Lorcan and Luther are finally free, and I couldn’t be happier. Things are going to be okay now for Lorcan and Luther. Luther can finally get through a day without wondering when and if Lorcan will take over his mind and body. The two of them will finally be able to have a conversation face to face. Lorcan is going to live the life he’s always wanted. I just hope that now Lorcan has been given the life he wanted, he won’t waste it being angry. “Jenna?” I turn to face the beautiful honey-haired woman calling my name. She reminds me of Selene and when I saw her in my cell. Apart from the
“Jenna?” Mum draws Jenna’s eye. “I know how scary this must be right now. I also know that you have more questions than your brain can keep up with, but you are my only chance,”Jenna pulls away from me and scrubs her hands over her face. “I know that, Anja, but there is so much to take in,”Jenna walks over to the open fire and stares into it. I want to go to her and tell her that she doesn’t have to do this. I won’t let Jenna think she has to go through with this ritual just to please everyone else.‘She does have to this, Luther! I know she’s your mate, but if the oracle is saying that Jenna can free us, then she has to. Do you want me to beg, is that it?’
“This is crazy!” I stand in front of Serafina’s burning fire with my hands on her head. “What the hell did you just shove inside my head?”“The truth, Jenna.”“Jenna, calm down.” Anja holds out her hand to calm me, but I shake my head vigorously.I don’t want anyone touching me right now; I’m scared the anger will explode out of me and kill someone!The oracle’s cat curls itself around my legs, purring and searching itself against my shin. I nudge it away from me. I love cats, but right now, I don’t want even a cat to touch me.“I know this hard for you to get your head around,”“That’s an understatement. I can’t believe this; how can you honestly believe that I&r
“Are you sure this will work?”Selene nods her head once in my direction.“It will work, Serafina. Have I ever lied to you?”“No,” Selene has never lied to me, though she has steered me wrong once or twice.Not that the Moon Goddess would take any blame for such a thing. Selene makes no mistakes, according to her, and it’s the rest of us who fail.Today, nothing can go wrong, not one thing.In a dream last night, it came to me, the cure to the curse put upon the Dalgaard Prince’s.For almost twenty-six years, I have searched for a way to help the King and Queen. For just as long, I have failed.Of course, all these years have been frustrating. Never once have
