I was sickened by what I was but I had to deal with Hayden, he had put me through hell over the years, my scars a permanent reminder of what he and his father did to me, the branding that would forever linger on my stomach.
Hayden curled up into a ball, refusing to look at me as he quaked in fear, an emotion I had never seen him in before “I… I didn’t know you were this”
I snarled again, signalling that his words no longer meant anything to me, he had ruined my life, he had made me a scared little girl who was afraid of everything including my own mate. I watched him for a moment, he didn’t even attempt to shift or look at me, he knew he had screwed up.
“Pl….please…don’t…..kill…me”
His words came out in stutters but I had no remorse, not now! He had not only threatened me but had targeted Daryl and his pack, he was the reason Sam was dead. I grab him by the leg and toss him like
A few months has passed since all the craziness with Lucian. Things had settled down massively, well, apart from being thrown into motherhood and raising triplets. I was just glad I wasnât doing it on my own.Daryl was still getting used to having a smaller pack. Although he had already been out trying to recruit other packs that were smaller than ours. Some had accepted whereas others had told him where to go. The pack was still much smaller than the average wolf pack with less than a hundred people now after many had lost their lives in the fight against my brother, but he was certain he would make it great again. After all, he really wanted to pass on an almighty pack to Daryl Junior, the eldest of the triplets.In just a few months the three of them had grown quite quickly, instead of being like three-month-olds, they looked more like eighteen month olds and certainly liked to keep me busy and on my toes, especially since they were already walking and running. I assumed they were
More bullets come as I keep low, the stench of Lucianâs blood filling the air as he hovers above me. With each bullet, I am splattered in his blood, but it continues to do little more than slow him down.âYou have not learnt a thing!â he roars at me as his claws wrap around my neck, lifting me from the ground.I should have been afraid, scared for my own life as I faced death when he suddenly stills. My feet dangling in the air at least ten inches from the ground. His deep amber eyes staring into mine, but he was quiet, no sound was coming from Lucian and yet everyone around us was yelling.His claws pierced the skin of my neck, my own blood trickling down over my cool skin as I watched Lucianâs nostrils flare. He was enjoying my scent, like it was something he had been longing for. This was not in my plan.His teeth sink into my shoulder as I let out a scream, and I see people charging towards Lucian. Daryl was shouting out something about protecting the Luna.Lucianâs jaw refuses to
âI will stop this.â I try to reassure the tiny beast in my arms, but I still didnât know if I could even kill him, if it was even possible.âShe will never be yours!â Lucianâs voice howls around us making Natashaâs little beast cling to me harder. Her tiny claws piercing my skin as they dug into me, her body trembling as his voice echoes around us.âDrop the spell.â I whisper to the small beast. Lucian was using her to put the spell around the dungeons, to stop others from getting any closer, but she was still a baby, could she even understand what I was saying? Could my reassurance be enough?Her small furry body continues to tremble against mine until it suddenly stops, momentarily scaring the crap out of me. When I hear soft snuffles coming from her and gently turn her head. She had fallen asleep on me. She had gone from a terrified little beast to one in a deep sleep, she had needed me so much more than I had ever known, and I feel a shift inside of me. The need to protect her, no
âItâs not that simple is it. I may have some magical abilities, but he still has years over me. Years of training, years of knowledge, years of planning what he calls his redemption.ââBut there is something he possibly didnât account for. A motherâs love, a mateâs love. The fact that a whole pack will be right behind you.âIt just didnât seem true. Maybe I had been looking at this all wrong and it wasnât just my fight anymore.âThen how am I supposed to make myself stronger?ââYou already know Ash, look at the things you have been capable of. Personally, I donât think you give yourself enough credit.âI was completely soaked from the heavy rain as I stared up into his amber eyes, the blue flecks shining brightly through the storm. It wasnât just me that had changed but it seemed like he had too. His once sulky and moody self had mellowed out.âWhat ever happens Ash, you have three babies that need you.âI slowly bob my head, he was right, but I had still left them to check on my best
No one stops me, no one even comes after me as I race through the forest towards her house. She had to be here, it was where it had all started.As I break out of the forest, I see it, her small house sitting on the opposite side of the road. A trail of blood leading up the few steps as the door sat open. Anyone could walk in here, anything could have found her.Creeping towards the house, I knew the trail of blood belonged to her. It was dry though and had been sat here for a while, but it didn't remove her scent.âTasha?â I call out her name as I step in through the front door, hoping for some kind of response but I was met with silence and what was worse is the trail of blood ended in the middle of the room. There was nothing, no body, no pool of dried red, but more importantly there was no sound.The floorboards didnât creak like I was used to, no weird smell from all the herbal teas she had scattered around.âCan you hear her?â I mutter to Reaper. I didnât even know why I was ask
The omega keeps her head low, not speaking as she remained in the room. She was our biggest risk right now; she was the only one to know that I had had a third baby and I couldnât have her revealing that information, not to anyone.âYou canât say anything!â I plead with her, hoping that she would understand.âThey need to be checked over.â She mumbles back at me and Daryl shakes his headâKiera, you cannot tell anyone, you cannot share the news of Ash having a third child. Do you understand?â He was using his Alpha tone, a tone that I was only to familiar with.The omega gulps, her eyes wide as she slowly nods her head.âI need you to say it Kiera!ââI wonât tell anyone, but how are you going to hide her, what if she is a poorly pup?âDaryl looks between me and the omega as I gently rock our little girl.âKiera, you will become Ashleyâs personal maid. You will do nothing else in the house except for helping Ash and tending to the children and monitoring any changes in them!ââBut the
âFor you!â Lucian punches the stone wall of his cell, splitting the skin on his knuckles which heals instantly.âI donât understandââOf course you donât sister.â He laughs manically as he tries to pull the bars apart. I was glad Daryl had reinforced them.âYou werenât to know I was going to have children.âHe looks at me from the corner of his eye. I was so stupid, I had told him of the vision, the one where I was left alone with twins, the one where Daryl was not in the picture. How could I have been so stupid?âYou told me that not all visions were correct that some were just created in my own mind!ââYes, but I saw that vision too, sister. Getting into your head was much easier than you trying to get into mine. Any time your wolf was dormant, it left an opening. A chance for me to see everything!ââJust kill him Ashâ Daryl links me"Whicjh is why you wanted Amber to trap me?"He starts clapping."About time you figured that out."âYou would never have found me without Daryl!â I ye
The omega hands her to me, she was much smaller than the boys with tufts of dark hair that matched Darylâs, bright amber eyes peeping out under her eyelids.I still didnât understand, the doctor had shown me the monitor, pointed out the two boys, how could he have missed a third baby or even a third heartbeat.Silent tears run down my face as I look at the three of them, how could I protect them? How could I protect my daughter from my brother? He was so set on taking her.âYou did well.â The omega smiles at me as she drapes something over my legs, but I glance at the door. I had a bad feeling growing in the pit of my stomach.âHeâs coming.â I mutter.There is fear on the omegas face as her eyes widen and her body stills.âYouâre scared of him?ââEvery omega is.â She sits next to me.âYou know Iâm not talking about Daryl, donât you?âShe nods her head and mutters Lucianâs name back to me.âWhat did he do to you?âHe didnât have anything to do with the omegas.âYou donât know?â she que
It was strange after experiencing Amber's world!Being able to run through Lucianâs mind with his beast chasing me was something I had never considered happening, nor did I think it was even possible and yet here I am. To be in someoneâs mind was almost disgusting, you never know what they might be hiding and it was apparent that Lucian had been hiding alot.I had never bothered to ask the name of his beast, but something tells me itâs up there like mine. Reaper, another name for death and she certainly did have a dark side.âTell me where she is!â I scream as I continue to run.âGive us your daughter!ââI have already told Lucian, they are boys, no females.ââYou lie! I can smell it. You are carrying a girl!âHere I had no bump, if anything my stomach was flatter than flat. Was this how Lucian really saw me?He chases me through the greyness of Lucians mind. There was no colour, like he only saw things a certain way. Anytime I get a chance to grab something to throw, I do. Lucian con
