Chapter nine - Leila
Ok, so I'm officially freaking out. Or going crazy. Maybe I banged my head a little too hard when those blokes tried to kidnap me last night because Coal is sitting right beside me. Coal. The guy who lives inside my imagination. I have no idea what is going on!
Maybe I'm in a coma? That would make sense, because everyone seems remarkably calm about the attempted kidnapping last night, I'm pretty sure we should all be making a bigger deal out of that and now… now, the guy who I have literally been dreaming about my entire life, just walks into the house like he actually exists in real life.
Sure he's referring to himself by a different name and sure it could be a massive coincidence, some kind of beautiful doppelganger but everything is the same as Coal. From his voice, his dominating aura, the way he walks, even the way his tongue darts out to touc

'Why are we leaving her? Go back.' Kade is stampeding around my mind from the moment we left Flame on her doorstep, trying to take control to march back inside that house and drag her home with us, like some sort of caveman. He doesn't understand that she's effectively human now and to do so would likely terrify her and we'd lose her forever. 'We need to take it slow.' I reply, grinning to myself as I remember her face when I taunted her on the Tree Surfers course. Whatever happened to make her forget who she is, hasn't changed her personality, she still bites when challenged. 'We're still her favourite scent.' Kade pushes the beautiful image of her, eyes closed, breathing in the smell of the woods tonight. I couldn't stop myself, Kade either, we pounced and she responded exactly as she used to, so she must still feel the bond, even if she doesn't know what it is that she's feeling. I need to find out what happened to her, how to help her remember who she is. Her parents will want

"We could leave now?" The words come out of my mouth in a rush of excitement, the cold air whipping around my naked form as I pull away from the naked man by my side."Is this what you want? We'll never be able to come back. What about your family? Your friends?" Coal places his hands on my shoulders and turns me to face him, leaves and twigs stuck in his hair and on his skin."We'll stay in touch, I taught my mum how to video call and Chloe is so wrapped up in Jaden, she won't miss me too much." I bite my lip, hoping he'll agree to run away with me, to be free of his father so we can finally be happy."Ok, let's do it." He kisses me quickly then hurriedly throws his clothes on while I do the same.We sprint back to the car and Coal drops me off at home, kissing me again and promising to be back within an hour. Once indoors, I creep upstairs as quickly and quietly as possible so I don't wake my family. I'll miss them but I can't stay and I hope they'll forgive me for running away in
Alpha Cain Chapter twelve - Cain
The last two mornings have felt like a dream, waking up next to Flame was something I never thought I'd get to do again and after so many lonely months, I won't ever take it for granted. Darius and I left to check in with my father yesterday, because even though Darius covered for me and no one else knows about Flame's situation, my father seems to have a sixth sense when something is going on. The meeting only took a little over an hour, but it was excruciating being away from her for so long and unable to contact her. Tomorrow is going to be worse because I have to escort Cateline around the pack while he meets with Alpha Godwin, the two of them are still trying to forge ahead with this alliance, regardless of our feelings on the subject. I tried to refuse, but Gene unexpectedly spoke up, telling me that my father is hoping to pass the Alphaship over to me sooner rather than later and although he won't force me to take Cateline as my Luna, he's hoping I'll be able to create a str

Cain had to leave for work this morning, but not before trying to reassure me that there was nothing to worry about with Darius' announcement of an actual murderer on the loose. One that we may have had in this very house yesterday. As if anything except for him being put in jail would do that.We're all bored of being stuck in the house and it's not even lunchtime yet. Damien wants to leave to go back home early and if it weren't for my reluctance to cut my time short with Cain, I'd be all for leaving a day earlier than planned.I'm not even sure what I'm hoping to happen with Cain. Is it realistic to think we could continue to see each other whilst living miles apart? Would he even want to? Do I? A holiday romance is one thing, but I don't even know him, not really, I'm still not sure if I like him or if it's just that he's so similar to Coal that it feels like I've known and loved him my entire life."Good morning everyone, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?" Gale comes skipping down

Kade is restless, has been since we left Flame early this morning to go and meet my father. He was in a strange mood, he didn't even have anything to say about my absence except to check if I was ok and ask briefly if I saw the rogues that passed through yesterday."I understand you would prefer to be elsewhere, but I can't impress upon you the importance of building alliances with our neighbours, especially with the rogue issue we have currently." He says and then, as soon as Cateline arrives, unexpectedly alone, my father quickly ushers us out of his office telling us he's booked us a table for lunch at twelve and will meet us there, stating he had an important meeting to attend to until then.I was hoping to be back with Flame long before lunch, but when I mindlink Darius to get him to come and switch with me, he's in the middle of some sort of sex marathon with Gale and blocks me before I can ask him for anything.'We need to go.' Kade grumbles. 'She leaves tomorrow, we're wasting

I was tormented by dreams of Coal all night but when I woke up, somehow I felt stronger. The pain was still there, but it had faded considerably and even after the copious amounts of alcohol I'd drunk, I didn't have a hangover. In fact, I felt good enough to go on a ten mile run around town, something that I'd have struggled to do on a normal day when I hadn't drunk my weight in alcohol the night before."Good morning." I practically sing at Gale, who glares at me through half open eyes."If I didn't love you as much as I do and if you hadn't just had your heart broken, I'd be giving you shit about how very non hungover you look." I put one of the coffee cups I picked up on the table and she drags herself over. "How are you this ok? I feel like I died and then got dragged back to the living after being embalmed already.""That's graphic." I push my trainers off with my toes and flop down onto my bed. "I had an epiphany. So what Cain did was awful, but was I any better? I got super i

We arrive at the university and hang around for it to open. It's the end of the break so there's only a handful of students milling around and no sign of Flame or any of her friends. Kade is still suppressed, so I have to rely on Darius to pick up on scents and it's fucking frustrating, he can smell residual scents from werewolves, vampires, sirens and numerous other creatures, but nothing that links us to Flame or her friends.A fairy, ever wanting to appear useful, tells us that there are four campuses and the business students are not here, but one in the next town over. Giving us detailed directions, she waves us on our way with wishes of luck.We get there and it's huge, I feel useless and it's not something I'm used to feeling. I know she's here somewhere, but not being able to find her is driving me crazy.Darius picks up the scent of a werewolf and so, while he follows it to see if they know anything, I make my way to the admin department in the hope that I'll find her addres

"Seriously, why would you think I had a wife?" Cain looks at me with shocked wide eyes even though it was Gale that blurted out his secret and my chest constricts with pain as a vision of him sitting with her outside that restaurant flashes into my brain. His hand reaches for mine and I flinch away from his touch, my anger that he toyed with my feelings and put me in danger, overtaking any logic or questions about why he's here."Look at me." He says, snatching my hand into his and refusing to let go. "I am not and I have never been married."He looks so sincere, my gut tells me he's truthful, but then who was that woman and why would that man tell me he was?"Who was the blonde woman you were with at the restaurant then? When you told us you were working?" Gale's voice is dripping with accusation and mistrust, but when his fingers lace through mine, I don't resist and I hate myself for giving in when the evidence was literally right in front of my face only yesterday.I'm pathetic a
