Alpha ColtLilah was visibly shaking. Linc was trying to hold her steady as Snare and I arrived. Linc shifts Lilah to me. Her arms slip around my waist as she starts sobbing into my chest.Linc shakes his head at me. I knew by his face that it was bad.“How bad is it?” I wrap my arms in such a way that they are pressed against Lilah’s ears. Hoping that it would block out some of the conversation.“They slaughtered the girl.”“Let me take a look. Take Lilah back up to the house.” Snare mutters as she pushes the door to the small house open. I could tell how bad it was by the scent of the blood. I didn’t need to look to know that the walls were plastered with Halle’s blood.Guiding Lilah back to the house. Her tears come thick and fast. Along with the choked up breathing. She hadn’t even cried like this when her mother had died.Her body is practically glued to mine as she sits on my lap in the office. Her legs drape either side of my legs, her chest pressed against mine as she buries
LilahHis green eyes run over me, a hint of a smile on his face. “You weren’t wrong when you said she was feisty!”“I did warn you.” Alpha Colt mutters.There were three men standing around me and the only one I knew was Alpha Colt. The others I hadn’t seen before. They both had green eyes. Nothing like Snares. Hers were bright whereas these men had dark green eyes. They looked similar as well. Both had short dark hair Only one had a scar running through his right eyebrow.“Lilah, this is Drake and that’s Grant.”“More Lycans?”“Yes.” He nods his head.“Brothers?” They had to be, they looked to alike.“Twins actually.” Drake smiles "But I'm the eldest.""By one minute!"All I could do was nod my head. My thoughts drifting to Halle. “She’s dead isn’t she?”“Yes Lilah.”“Who did it?” I needed to know why they had killed her. She hadn't done anything.“I don’t know yet. But I need you to go with Grant and Drake.”“Why?”“Because it’s not safe for you to be out here.”“I’m not going anywh
Alpha ColtI felt the exact moment that she betrayed me.I was supposed to be watching for this intruder. Keeping an eye out just in case it wasn’t someone in the pack.Forcing the training hall doors open. I see the three of them at the back of the room. Lilah was facing Grant. Drake stood a couple of steps behind her. Lilah was as white as a sheet as she stared at Grant. It’s only when my scent hits her that she turns and looks at me. The other people in the hall were completely unaware of what was going on. Everyone parts for me as I walk through the packed training hall. Heading directly towards my mate. The glass in her hand drops to the floor, shattering at her feet as I close in on her. Her chest was rising and falling as her breath quickened, her heart almost thumping through her chest.“I didn’t….”I hold my hand up to her. I had nothing to say to her, not right now. Her actions had me seething.“I had nothing to do with it.” Grant holds his hands up. “My brother got her dr
Lilah.For two days we had to stay in this hall. Fights broke out every other hour, but the Lycans put a stop to them as quickly as they started. The wolves feared the Lycans. They recoiled away the moment they realised they were in trouble. Because it always ended the same way.The numbers of the pack dropped. A wolf was killed here and there for all sorts of reasons. For being overheard disrespecting Alpha Colt. For attempting to leave the hall. For trying to catch my attention when they thought that there was no Lycan lingering nearby.The bodies would be carried out of the hall. The wolves were forced to stay back so they couldn’t see what was happening outside. I saw it all and I said nothing. I finally understood how other packs had been wiped out. Alpha Colt had done this to them. Alpha Colt had caused them to wipe themselves out.The only ones that were allowed to come and go were the Lycans. They would bring food, and other essentials to try and keep the peace, but the peace
Alpha ColtThis wasn’t the same girl. She stared directly at me with those grey eyes as she declared me a psychopath once again. Not a hint of sarcasm in her words. No sign of fear, there was nothing. She felt nothing for what had happened.“Lilah…”“Don’t fucking Lilah me!” She snaps her arms folding up over her chest “This was a power move. This wasn’t about getting justice for Halle!”“It was supposed to be about Halle. But everything takes us to a dead end. Grant and Drake are out hunting the Rogues Juniper spoke of, but other than that, there is nothing else that I can do for Halle. She is dead and there is no coming back from that.”“So you just left everyone to fall apart?”“If they truly cared for their pack, they wouldn’t have killed each other. Drake hates Snare, he still hasn’t attacked her!” I try to reason but Lilah was having none of it.“This isn’t their fault, it's ours. Yours and mine, Alpha Colt!” She had returned to calling me Alpha. I thought she had moved past it.
LilahIt was my mother. I recognised her hair and those eyes. She ran deeper and deeper into the forest. My feet pound the ground hard as I try to keep up. I move quickly and silently as I try to keep up. Jumping fallen branches. Dodging trees. It was like my wolf knew exactly what to do.Alpha Colt and Callie were not far behind. The scents told me that the other Lycans had joined in too, but I did not care for them. I just wanted to speak to my mother. I wanted to know how she was alive. I wanted her to tell me how she escaped. I just wanted to wrap my arms around her once more.She changes directions several times. Always staying a few metres in front. She would look over her shoulder now and again, calling for me to catch her.She comes to a stop. Tall trees surround her. She stands facing me, her arms wide open.“Come here, my dearest daughter.” The voice didn’t match my mother’s. It was higher pitched. Her choice of words didn’t feel right either. By the time I realised that I h
Alpha ColtI can’t see her anywhere.Out of all the Lycan’s, Snare was the only one that wasn’t accounted for. Even Grant and Drake had returned.“I warned you.” Linc mutters next to me, his nose still pressed into the leaves. "I warned you that she was trouble.""And I kept her away from Lilah." Linc was lucky he got away with speaking to me the way he did."Still, look what has happened."“Snare's scent isn’t here.” I retort, but deep down, I knew he was right. This had Snare written all over it. There was a reason why Snare was her name and this was exactly it.Drake comes from the group of Lycans. His head is low as he walks towards us. “It’s her.” He mutters, keeping his green eyes low.“Are you telling me that you can smell something we can’t?”His head moves up and down. “There is a reason that Snare and I have never gotten along.”“Well, spit it out.” Linc snaps as he stands tall.“We… That is Snare and I, well we were mated. Technically still are, because we can’t reject one
LilahThe door would open now and again. A flicker of light creeping around the edge of the door. By the time my eyes had adjusted. I was in darkness again.I tried reaching out to Alpha Colt over and over. But nothing ever came of it. It was like I was no longer connected to him. I should be happy. It was all I had ever wanted. But now, he was the only one who would be able to get me out of here. He was the only other person that knew me.I don’t scream, I stop myself from crying any time I feel my eyes welling up. Snare couldn’t know that I was afraid of her. She couldn’t know that what she was doing was making me suffer.My stomach growled with hunger. I had been hungry before, but not like this. I assumed it had been days since she took me. Days since I had last seen Alpha Colt.As I think of him, a smile creeps over my face. There was so much anger on my part. Mostly because I had been lied to my entire life. And getting over that wasn’t going to be easy.The door is suddenly yan
