All Chapters of Reclaiming His Banished Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

A shiver passes between us, a single heart beat as Kylar inhales my scent. He runs his nose against the line of my jaw and I’m powerless, pinned against the wall. I don’t even want to struggle. I don’t want to put space between us, not now. Not when he is so close. Close to enough to share my breath with. ‘I needed to know that,’ his voice is low against my ear. I close my eyes, heart fluttering as I nod my agreement. I’d agree to anything right now. His body is pressed against my own, holding me in place. Just the low light from the desk lamp casts long shadows over the room. It’s soft and intimate. I can pick out the laughter track from whatever the team is watching down stairs, but over it all. I can hear my own rapid heart rate. I can feel his breath upon my neck as I struggle to breathe, caught by the intensity of it all.‘This is hard enough, Ava, without you being Rogue on me,’ he growls and his grip tightens. I look up at him, bottom lip trembling as I push my hips forwar

We all know that the twins have been missing for a few weeks and that the golden opportunity for finding them has long passed. I’ve been out of wolf society for a long time, but I’ve watched enough true crime to know what we’re all afraid of. There was a delay whilst we settled in last night, but now we’re off and there’s a sense of hopeless urgency that follows us, now that we’re on the way. We’re trailing after Sasha and Kylar. Luca, Kyle and myself have dirt bikes so that we can at least try and keep the wolves in sight, and carry all of the gear that might be needed for our human selves; and the boys if we can find them. The first day feels painful, slow and irritating as Sasha weaves back and forth through the pack territory, mostly in the village with the scent of the children.It’s impressive, because even though there is something weirdly familiar in the way that they smell. As though their scent is close to my own boys, Kayce and Rowan, I can barely detect it here. It’s fa

We fly back to the village. With the boys secured, Kylar calls in an airlift. We carry them on our backs across the stream to the meadow, waiting for the chopper as I examine them both. As I check all their vital signs and health, I tell them about my own sons and they’re excited, chatting away. They’re so like Kayce and Rowan that my heart aches. My arms long to wrap around my boys again and I take the chance to embrace my Sister’s twins. Holding them tightly as the chopper descends. But with the wide eyed enthusiasm of five year old boys, they’re fascinated by the flying machine and filled with questions for Kylar. Luca takes over, securing the boys in the seats and Kylar pulls me aside. He doesn’t need to ask for what he needs. I give him the report as to the boys’ health. They’re a little dehydrated, a little sunburnt and hungry, but otherwise they’re in good health. Like the twins that reappeared a few weeks ago, they don’t seem to be suffering from their kidnapping and suppos

KylarI wake late in the morning, with Ava in my arms. The window is slightly open, trying to tempt in a breeze from the stifling night. I can hear voices outside and Sabre sniffs. We know without looking that it’s Josh and Ryan, the Alpha and Beta of Silver Stream. I can also pick out Luca speaking to the pair of them. So I roll over, pressing my nose against Ava’s back. Taking a deep inhale of her scent. It feels so good to hold her again. It’s hard to explain the emptiness that I’ve felt over the last ten days with her being so close and out of reach.I instantly regretted the stupid boundaries I set before we came away on the mission. I was an idiot trying to take control over something that was making me uncomfortable. I acted out and I put distance between us. I stepped away from Ava, and I think, deep down that being here is where she might have needed me the most. Yet I’m stubborn and I wouldn’t back down. I couldn’t find the time to apologise before we flew out, because she

Ava‘Are you ready?’ He stands in the corridor taking up too much space. ‘Ready?’ I want to delay this conversation, I don’t want it to happen.‘To come home,’ he insists. He reaches down, checking the laces on one of his combat boots. He looks incredible, the black shirt pulled across the defined muscles of his chest. The combat jacket left open as he straightens up. It’s always so hard to take my eyes off him. I don’t even want to look, I’m burning to touch him. ‘Kylar…’ I bite my lip. Then I remind myself that I’m not so young anymore. That the girl who was banished from her Pack, grew up. I’m a Doctor, I’m a single Mom. I’m not going to cower and hide from this. I touch my tongue to the top of my teeth. ‘Kylar, I’m not coming back straight away.’‘Right,’ he looks at me for a long hard minute before shrugging. ‘Well, can you message Marie, and let her know when you’re going to be returning? We’ll need to make arrangements for the children.’‘I already spoke to Lou,’ I admit soft
