Rosalie It had been a morning of revelations, that is for sure.I found myself still reeling from the news that I had been wrong the whole time over who Ali’s ancestor had been.I assumed that Margaret’s daughter, Helena had continued that branch of the family. But it would seem that was wrong.Perhaps she did have children. But they were not the Walkers that had settled in Wyoming. That was in fact my own daughter. The very daughter that I was trying to save. The irony was enough to make anyone laugh. But I couldn’t bring myself to find joy in the titbit of information.I guess I should be grateful. At least I now knew for certain that Ada was safe in her own time, with her father and siblings. And that one day she would find her way to continue one of the most powerful covens in the world. I should be proud. I should weep with joy that my baby was going to be fine. Alison was the living proof of that.But instead, I found myself feeling decidedly empty.I shouldn’t know any of this

Rosalie I wasted no time.Still being wide awake as the sun broke over the horizon, I made my way down the communal room downstairs, in the hoped she would already be awake.I had been right in my assumption.“I don’t understand Granny Lou,” I began, confusion evident in the tone of my voice, “How is it that you knew who I was? How did you know I would travel back to be with Alex?”“You waste no time, do you?” She commented, taking a sip of scolding tea.“Please Granny Lou. I need to know how you know so much about me.”“So many questions, child.” She responded, her eyes twinkling with mischief.She stood from her chair, her frail body moving much slower than I ever remembered her too. I moved to lend a hand, and she took my arm gratefully, leaning her aging body heavily against mine.“Come, let go for a walk.” She suggests softly, tipping her head towards the large doorway of the pack house.“Where?” my mind was swimming with questions. And I didn’t just want answers, I needed them.

Rosalie Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly over the next few hours. And I found myself roaming the village and greater pack grounds trying to process all of the information that seemed to be coming at me from all angles.I somehow, perhaps naively, thought that coming back here was going to be relatively simple. And in principle I guess it was. Trick Tenebris, find Alison, kill the demon, and go back home. In reality, it seemed to be a lot more difficult than it ever did in theory.I hadn’t expected the amount of emotional baggage that seemed to flock to me. Firstly, from Landon, and then from discovering all of these connections that I had no idea I was to expect. And whilst I was fully aware that the strain of being away from my children was going to bring, I wasn’t prepared for just how hard that was going to be to fight through.I missed them. With all my heart. My body still ached from the birth, and the fact my milk had come in was just a reminder that I was not complete. A

LandonTime was ticking.I hadn’t slept the night before. Not since being so close to Rosalie. Feeling the heat radiating off her body as she sat merely inches away from me, dressed in nothing but flimsy pyjamas, her curly hair falling about her face in wanton abandon.I could have so easily have reached forward and kissed her lips.The worst part about it, was that I didn’t get the sense from her that she would have stopped me.“Then why didn’t you just take what is yours.” My wolf growled at me. He was growing impatient. He had lost one mate and refused to allow me to loose yet another.“Because she has been through enough Marcus. She deserves better than us just pouncing on her.” I gritted through my teeth.It was becoming insufferable to listen to the constant inner monolog of my wolf, as he pleaded and urged me to all but rape my mate. Something I outright refuse to do. I have more self-control than that. I had already made my intentions perfectly clear to Marcus, I would only ma

RosalieI found myself leaning against the hall wall trying to pull myself together after the earth-shattering kiss I had shared with Landon. The blood raced through my veins, my heart pounding, and I knew that my cheeks were flushed. If anyone could see me now, they would know in an instance what we had been up too.After Nina’s admissions, I had to know for myself.Surely, if Landon was truly the person that I was always meant to be with, then I would feel it. What we shared would be stronger than what I felt for Alexander. And in my own mind, I knew that it was in impossibility to feel any more deeply about anyone else. What I had shared with Alex, was beyond love.Not to mention, I whole heartedly believed that Alex was my one person. We had shared a life together not to mention our children.I went in, with the mindset that I would prove Nina wrong. And in the process prove Selene wrong. That she didn’t get to dictate my life and manipulate me in the process. That I got to choose

Rosalie “Landon! I don’t suppose you have seen Rose…”Drake, closely followed my Ali, stepped into the hallway, that was all too quickly becoming unbearably crowded.He stopped in his tracks, his eyes sweeping over the narrow room as he took in the scene before him. A tense Landon stood closest too him, his hands clenched at his sides, and his jaw clenched as if he was attempting to hold back his own grief tittering on the edge.To then his newly returned sister hugging me, as I sobbed into Steph’s shoulder.I didn’t know for certain. After all, I was not Drake’s mate, nor had I been made an official member of his pack yet, but I didn’t need to be able to read his mind to see that he was clicking together the pieces in his mind.First a flash of surprise at finding Steph here. Then sadness as he glanced at me, and finally, anger. He directed his mire towards Landon. Who looked over his shoulder as his Alpha moved further into the room.He continued looking between everybody in the ro

Rosalie Ali, who had taken pity on me, had taken it upon herself to share my story with Steph. Well at least as much of the story that she could have shared. Obviously the nitty gritty, I had mercifully negated recalling to anyone. But she had shared the general outline of the past five years. And to be honest, she did a great job. Better than I could have done myself under the circumstances. So from my part, I was more than happy to allow her to take the reigns in explaining to Steph everything that had happened in the lead up to our expedition.Steph seemed completely enthralled by the story. And was currently listening intently and Ali regaled the legend of Tamara and Tenebris. What made the situation worse, was that I seemed to have found myself sandwiched between Steph and Landon in the middle of the rear seats, looking directly into the rear-view mirror, constantly catching Drakes uneasy gaze.I felt horrible.My body, despite everything that had happened, was still attuned t

Rosalie Steph was still rolling off questions about my time in the past when we arrived at the airport. And she wouldn’t take no for an answer.She questioned what Alexander had been like and was he really as despicable as the histories made him seem. I was made to recall Castle Black in detail. What my rooms were like, how the people acted around me.But when it clicked for her that I was in fact her ancestor, the questioning turned into a detailed family tree. It only elated Steph more when she discovered the connection I had with Ali as well. Something that I had yet to find within me to rejoice too loudly over.By the time we arrived I was completely frazzled, and practically crawled over Landon to get out of the vehicle. Landon had remained stoney silent the whole ride. It couldn’t be easy having to listen to a detailed recount of my past love life. But at this moment, I simply didn’t care if it was easy or otherwise. Landon had hurt me more than hearing stories about my former

“You have to talk to him eventually Rosalie.” I scoff at Nina’s statement. “You’re telling me that you have forgiven him so quickly? There was me thinking that wolves were territorial.” I replied, testily.“That’s exactly why you need to talk to him, to figure out why he lied to us. Why he kept Steph such a secret.”We had been in the air for nearly ten hours now, and with each passing hour, the longer we sat on this flight the more uncomfortable I grew.A thirteen hour flight was long enough with someone you wanted to be sat next too. But it was even longer with someone that you absolutely didn’t. And at this moment in time, I absolutely didn’t.That, on top of the fact that we had been in the air most of the day, and had yet to make contact with Drake and the others was beginning to gnaw at me.Did they manage to get away from Tenebris? Was everyone OK?Nina was right about one thing, I did need to talk to Landon… eventually. But not about his secret relationship with my best frien

Rosalie “I mean it Rosalie. You don’t have to believe me. In fact, I truly understand why you don’t. But I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you.”I didn’t respond to this; I just kept my steady gaze on the horizon. My arms folded around my torso, doing my best to hold myself together.“Steph and I, it was never really meant to become anything more than just… companionship. We were lonely. Both of us. When Steph lost her mate, she didn’t think she would be with a man ever again. And then when I lost you…” His words trailed off for a moment, he seemed to be struggling to find a way to put his feelings into something that I might understand. I knew that if I were to look at him now, I would see the ghosts of tears swimming behind his eyes. And I couldn’t bear to see that.“Steph was the only one left who never gave up looking Rosie. She was the only one I could confide in. The only one that truly understood what it felt like when you disappeared. So yes, eventually those feelings turned
