Chapter: chapter 209“There is nothing far-fetched about it!” Camille exclaimed, “I get okay, this is Clarissa, your Doc, and you’re still having trouble accepting what happened or that she could do anything like it, but you have to.” Then she turned to me, "What other symptoms?’ I shot Sarah an apologetic glance then proceeded to answer Camille, “I don’t know what symptoms. I did ask for pictures and more samples of Eliza, I suppose she’ll contact me when she’s ready to make it available.” “Well, I suppose that makes some sense. But what exactly does Clarissa have to gain from creating something like that?” Camille asked. “Maybe she plans on selling it?” I shrugged, “I mean going on the run, one would need funds and all that.” “Okay, that does check out. But I mean, it’s not like she was poor or anything,” she added. Throughout this time, Sarah got into her bed and drew the covers over her head. “Sarah?” I called out softly, got up from my bed, and join

Chapter: chapter 208“What?” I snarked, “What are you looking at?” “You said you were right there, so here I am looking at you.” “Ha ha. Very funny.” I said, deadpan, “What exactly were you two talking about with the mind link?” “I was explaining to him that it would be in his best interests to provide me with the information I demanded from him.” “You mean the morgue friends of his?” I asked. “Yes.” He shot Jordan another warning look, “Watch yourself, pup.” “Okay, now that is just ridiculous!” Jordan exploded, “You are not that older than me, so enough with that whole 'pup' shit.” “Watch your tone with me boy.” Killian replied, voice cold as eyes, his eyes bled to black, “Or I will rip out your tongue and feed it to you.” That was not Killian, but his wolf, and it was beginning to growl now. Jordan remained rooted to a spot, warily watching Killian. He knew that one wrong move could very well get him maimed or worse, killed. I let out a sigh, and it seemed that single movement had it turning its

Chapter: chapter 207“I understand that. Truly I do.” He was starting to sound desperate now, “But wounds can heal. And I want to help you heal Marybeth.” He was starting to sound like a broken record now, and she was tired of hearing him speak.’Logan.” She said, an air of finality in her tone, “I don’t understand what it is exactly that you are asking of me. I mean, you say you want to be with me yet you want me to be content with you “handling” Christa. I mean what exactly does that even mean?” “It means we get to be together no matter what.” He replied, “You don’t need to worry about Christa.” He paused, “In fact see this as an opportunity to do to her what she did to you.” “What?” “She terrorized you didn’t she?” He said, his eyes had an eager gleam in them, “Made your lives miserable, and now you can do the same thing to her.” She scoffed in disbelief. So he knew. He knew what Christa was doing

Chapter: chapter 154LILLIANA’S POVWe got married on the hill behind the pack house, in the first week of June, under the big oak that Killian had once told me was older than the pack.I’d said I wanted it small. That lasted about two days. By the end of the week, the dining hall had a list on the wall with three hundred names on it, and the kitchens had started a rumor that there’d be four kinds of cake. There were five. Camille had seen to it.“You’re not nervous,” Sarah said. She was kneeling on the floor of the hostel room with a mouthful of pins, taking up the hem of my dress. “You’ve never been nervous about anything. You fought a thing twice your size.”“It’s not the same.”“Why not?”“The big wolf wasn’t going to read vows in front of everybody I know.”“Fair.” She spat out a pin. “Hold still. I swear, if I stab you, Grace will make me write it down.”The dress was plain ivory, with long sleeves over the scar on my shoulder. I looked at myself in the mirror. A girl with her hair in a loose braid.

Chapter: chapter 153KILLIAN’S POVI’d planned for everything except the hairpin.The treaty hall at Blood Fang was a long room with a stone floor and a table made from a single oak that had fallen in a storm before I was born. We set four chairs on one side and two on the other. Clarke had been up since four, checking the pens and the water glasses. Rhea’s people stood along the walls in dress gray, and Marcus kept the door. The windows threw long bright panels across the floor.The Alphas arrived in order. Dorn of Red Moon came first, a short, stubborn man who nodded at me like a man conceding a game of cards. Voss of Crescent Moon followed with two quiet advisors. Hale of Silver Sea came last, a tall woman with iron-colored hair who had lost her beta on the east field and had not forgotten it.Richard Brookes came in at noon.He had aged ten years since the autumn. The hair that had been dark was gray all through. He walked slowly, without the swagger I remembered, and he carried no weapon at all. Behi

Chapter: chapter 152LILLIANA’S POVThe worst part of being a wolf in front of someone you like is that you have to shift back eventually.I stood on the east field with every eye on me, one very large paw on top of my own other paw, and thought about how I might spend the rest of my life as a dog. Then a blanket hit me in the face. Camille had thrown it from twenty feet away without turning her head. I wrapped it around myself behind the cart frame, with my face burning, and by the time I came out, Killian was no longer at the treeline. Clarke had met him on the road. The two of them had gone up toward the administrative wing with their heads together, and every wolf on the field was suddenly very interested in their own feet.“He’ll come,” Sarah said, gently.“I know.”“He didn’t stop to talk. Not because he didn’t want to.”“I know, Sarah.”“I’m only saying.”“I know you are.”I went back to the hostel and washed, and put on clean clothes, and read the notebook a fifth time. At six, I moved food around

Chapter: chapter 151LILLIANA’S POVRhea picked the east field on purpose.She didn’t say so, and I didn’t ask. The grass had grown back green over the place where the cart burned, and somebody had filled in the worst of the holes. You could almost believe nothing had happened there. But when I stepped onto it at six on a cool April morning, in shorts and a wrap, with the dew soaking through my boots, my wolf went stiff along my spine, and I knew that Rhea had known she would.“Weeks of drills,” Rhea said. She stood in the middle of the field with her arms crossed in the early light. “Your legs work. Your lungs work. Your shoulder holds. Today we find out if you do.”Behind her, three people waited in a row. Camille was bouncing on her toes. Sarah was tying her hair back, calm and neat. Jordan was yawning with great dignity.“Three on one,” Rhea said. “Wolf form. Nobody’s trying to hurt anyone, but nobody’s pulling punches either. Win is simple. Pin Camille. She’s the smallest and the fastest, and she’ll

Chapter: chapter 150LILLIANA’S POVNobody tells you that waking up is the easy part.I could talk by the end of the first day. By the third, I could sit up without somebody holding the back of my head. By the end of the first week, Odessa let me put my feet on the floor, and I stood next to the bed with both hands on the rail, trembling like a newborn deer, and Camille stood in the doorway with her arms crossed and said, “Wow. Four months of rest and look at you.”“You’re not helping.”“I’m cheering. This is my cheering voice.”“It sounds like an insult.”“It’s both.” She came over and slid an arm under mine. “Come on. Corridor. Ten steps, and then I’ll let you sit down and feel sorry for yourself.”It took twenty minutes. I swore the whole way, which Camille said was how she knew I was getting better. My legs felt like they’d been borrowed from someone smaller. At step seven the room tilted, and I stopped with my forehead against the wall and my heart going like a drum, and my wolf said, kindly, You’re

Chapter: chapter 149LILLIANA’S POVThe first thing I felt was my wolf, stretching.It was a lazy, satisfied stretch, like a cat getting off a windowsill after a very long nap. There, she said, in the middle of my chest. Told you.The second thing was a voice reading aloud, slow and flat, with the wrong emphasis on every other word.“’And the horse looked at the man, and the man looked at the horse, and neither of them thought it was a good idea.’ Which, honestly, is the most sensible thing anyone has said in this whole book.”I knew that voice. I tried to open my eyes, and the lids were the heaviest thing I had ever lifted. There was light on the other side, thin and gold, coming from a slit in a blind. I blinked at it for what felt like several minutes. The ceiling swam into focus. White tiles. A water stain shaped a little like Texas.My mouth was so dry that my tongue felt like a piece of leather. I tried to swallow, and couldn’t. I turned my head, and it took more effort than anything I’d ever done i

Chapter: chapter 1495 years laterI held the pregnancy test in my hands,staring at the two lines showing on it. My heart was pounding in excitement and uncertainty. I was pregnant with Dameon's kid.I took in a deep breath, walking out of the bathroom to where he sat on the bed,waiting in anticipation. He looked at me, eyes wide, searching for an answer within my expression.I teared up a bit, nodding, and within seconds he jumped up from the and crushed me against his chest. I hugged him back with all my strength, sniffling into his shirt as he kisses me all over my head,then my forehead, and then leaning down to my lips.I smiled as he pressed our foreheads together, his eyes wet and glistening with tears. "Really?" he asked softly.I nod. "You're going to be a father," i whispered softly to him, cupping his face in my hands.At my words, he buried his face in my neck, pulling me onto the bed. "There are no words to describe...how happy I am right now," he murmured against my skin, his stubble tick

Chapter: chapter 148The moment the door closed behind us, the world was silent.Dameon’s eyes locked on mine—dark with longing, but soft with love. He stepped closer, his hands on my waist, drawing me in slowly, giving me time to say no. But I didn’t want to. I never wanted anything more than this.He kissed me—deep, deliberate, and unhurried. His lips moved over mine like he had all the time in the world, like he was learning me all over again. I melted into him, fingers tangling in his hair, the heat between us blooming into something undeniable.He trailed kisses down my neck, each one slower than the last, until I was trembling in his arms. The way he touched me—reverent and sure—made my heart race. It wasn’t rushed or careless; it was full of meaning, each movement deliberate, asking, Are you ready?And I was.We moved together to the bedroom, where he undressed me with a mix of awe and care. He took his time, like every inch of me was something precious. The cool air brushed my skin, but I was alre

Chapter: chapter 147A week after the battleI woke up and checked beside me, to see that my mate was no longer in bed, I touched his side of the bed to find out that it was cold. I called his name around the house but there was no response. I started panicking wondering where he went. I rushed back to the bedroom to pick up my phone when I noticed a letter on the bed stand. Dameon had written it. I read the content of the letter, he said he had a surprise waiting for me and that I should get ready as my friends were already on their way to the house to get me ready for the surprise. I quickly got into the shower to freshen up and as I got out, I heard the doorbell ring.I ran down the stairs to open the door, Brianna and Lia stood outside holding some package. Lia held her makeup kit while Brianna was holding whose content I couldn't see.Brianna and Lia beamed at me the moment I opened the door."Surprise!" They said in unison, pushing past me with an air of excitement." What's going on?" I asked, sti

Chapter: chapter 146Dameon stopped and turned to me.I shakily walked over, wincing in pain and somewhat limping from my wounds.I could see how much it scared Dameon,to see me so injured but I continued on, my face stone cold as my gaze was on my stepfather."Willow! Willow , you came for me, my girl.My sweet little girl. Please help me.Please forgive me, my daughter," he begged, the desperation evident in his voice. His eyes were glazed over, wide as he watched me from what was left of his body. I couldn't look into those eyes. I had always kept my head down, terrified of how he would hurt me if I dared be anything other than submissive and obedient.But surprisingly I found myself looking into them now without fear."No.""You're my daughter-""No, I'm not. I won't help you. I would never help you.You deserve this. I hope you rot in hell.” "Y-you're the one that did this to me,you runt!" He growled, doing away with the sweet talk now that he saw that it was not working. As if a disgusting, half-deadma

Chapter: chapter 145"Dad, at least I need to see," I begged my father, who was rifling through Eric's kitchen drawers to find something for Ria to eat. The poor omega looked ashen, a thin body of bones in Jake's arms. He couldn't stop staring at his mate, completely mesmerized. Ria kept her eyes shut, holding her heavy stomach weakly "You will do no such thing. This is a battle, Willow. It has nothing you should have to witness," "My mate is out there, fighting for me. For us!" "Your father is right. It's going to scare you," Luke interjects. "Luke, I was mutilated in a cellar for the majority of my childhood. I am already scarred," I snapped back. I regretted it as soon as I saw the pained expression that overtook my father's features. But what could I do? It was the truth. Luke had no idea how to respond, scratching at his head and staring at a stain on the wall like it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen. I was about to apologize to both of them when I heard the roar of a veng

Chapter: chapter 144An hour went by, and the house was Silent. The omega dosed up against the wall, heavy dark circles underneath her eyes. I still didn't know her name. She kept her frail arms crossed over her belly protectively. The sight of how full she was made me uneasy. How will she be able to run if we try to escape? What if she fell on his stomach, hurting the pup? So many horrible thoughts raced through my mind when suddenly a loud boom rang out. The omega and I were startled, both looking toward the door. Another bang, and then we saw that the metal door was denting. Another, and another. I shrieked as it broke, sending the door flying into the room. It missed both of us, but I still hid behind my hands. "Oh, willow, my baby girl," my father's voice rang out and I dared to look at the intruder. My heart filled with affection and I leapt up, running into his arms. "Daddy.!" I sobbed, burying my face in his chest. "Y-you're here.!" "Yes, I'm here," he stroked a hand over my hair and pres
