I haven’t heard anything about Leo since that day.

And Mika didn’t mention anything that was related to Mateo and Leo, which made me think that whatever had happened between them had nothing to do with me.

I returned to my usual routine, thinking that things had finally returned to normal.

I woke up at the same time and made sandwiches to sell. While there are days when Lylia would help me, I prefer the days when she slept in.

Still, the sales of my sandwiches were not enough to pay Lylia’s

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 182 - Leo/Kelly

    LeoThe long table in the conference hall was set for forty and laid for war.Maximus had insisted on the formality of it. “You break bread before you break a line,” he’d said, in that voice that made even Sean stop chewing. “The wolves who eat together fight better. Because they know who they are fighting for.” So we’d done it his way. Black linen. Iron candlesticks. Mateo’s pack had brought wine in stoppered jars older than my grandfather. Sean and Kale brought meat for us to feast on.Kelly sat at my right. Aiden at my left. Ella was across from him; she looked better now, but the marks filled her arms like a tattoo. She didn’t hide it this time, and for who knew what it meant, it showed her respect for everything she went through. We all arrived at the same time, a few hours before the feast.Aerin sat beside Clint and pretended very hard that she was one of us. They had prepared the feast just as we had all agreed.I watched as everyone enjoyed the gathering. It’s been a while si

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 181 - Aiden / Ella

    AidenElla had stopped looking at me like I might disappear if she blinked.I noticed it around midmorning on the third day, when I came back from a brief meeting with Leo and found her sitting up in bed with one of the books from the packhouse shelf open across her knees. She looked up when I walked in and said, "There's tea on the table if you want it," the way a person says something like that when they've been sharing space long enough to start knowing each other's habits. Casually. Without the measured caution she'd had when we first got here.It was a small thing. I stood in the doorway for a second longer than I needed to, and then I went and got the tea.The truth was, I had been handling her as if she might break, and she had noticed, and she had decided at some point to stop tolerating it. I wasn't certain exactly when the shift had happened. Somewhere between the moment she'd said I know in response to my confession about the mate bond, and now. She had decided, in that qui

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 180 - Kelly

    I woke in the middle of the night to find Leo sleeping soundly beside me. Careful not to disturb him, I slipped out of bed and quietly left the room. The room was dark and silent as I made my way to the couch in the mini living room. Once seated, I reached up and removed the necklace, letting it rest in the palm of my hand.I'd been thinking about what Ella said ever since. ‘Don't think. Just hold it.’ I had been wearing it around my neck for weeks, and nothing had happened, which made me wonder if the instruction was more specific than it sounded. I stared at the pendant in my hand and touched its cold surface, waiting for something to happen even though I did not exactly know what I was waiting to see. Maybe holding it wasn't enough. Maybe she meant something else by it. Maybe she meant: hold it the way you hold something you're afraid of losing. Hold it the way you hold the last thing a person you love left for you.I sat in the chair by the window with the pendant in my palm an

    The door to our room was slightly open when I arrived, which meant that Kelly was still awake. She never left a door fully open when she was sleeping. I pushed the door open slowly.She was sitting at the edge of the bed with the three journals stacked beside her and the small pendant from her mother's necklace resting in her open palm. She wasn't reading. She wasn't doing anything except looking at the pendant like it owed her something.She looked up when she heard me.Neither of us said anything for a moment. It’s funny how we tend to stay silent when we both have a lot of things to say. The room glowed with a soft amber light, cast by the fae lamps that gave everything the hazy warmth of an old memory. Outside, the palace lay silent. Silence has never been this deafening.I crossed the room and sat beside her on the edge of the bed. Not close enough to crowd her. But close enough to make her feel my presence."You found something," I said. Stating the obvious."Yes." Her reply

  • Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again   Chapter 178 - Leo

    I found Mateo in the training yard behind the packhouse, running drills with three of my Moonlight Warriors as if he'd been born into this pack instead of visiting it. Aerin apparently assisted him here because he wanted to make sure my daughter was safe. I watched him as he took his position as three of my men began attacking him all at the same time. I know that he is a great fighter. He had proven that over and over again. And, as his friend, I also know when he’s distracted. Just like how he is right now. It was one of the things that I admired about him. How could he still be calm and composed despite the chaos in his mind? He moved efficiently, quietly, but not as flawlessly as he could be if his focus was on the task at stake. It is the minor details that no one would notice unless you have known the man all your life. The sparring had ended with one of my warriors almost getting close to him. I took that sign to walk up to him.He saw me coming and called a halt. The warrior

    Aerin led me through the palace in silence. She didn’t ask any questions, just continued walking ahead of me, leaving me alone with my thoughts that had been in complete chaos ever since I left the Fae King’s office. Watching Aerin’s composed silhouette in front of me made me think of my mother. She was a great fighter, one of the best. It makes me wonder what kind of control she had just to survive everything she went through before everything fell apart.Aerin guided me to a door near the place where my mother was now lying in her endless sleep. Knowing all of her and the Fae King’s sacrifices didn’t help ease the guilt that I was feeling. Instead, it just made it worse. “Here,” Aerin said as she held the door open for me. “You’ll be at the packhouse where your brother is once you step inside. And you have a little surprise waiting for you as well.” She added with a smile. “Thank you,” was all that I could muster to say as I walked closer to her. But before I could take a step ins

    "Do you think he would do it?" Mateo asked, his voice loud enough for me to hear, his tone betraying the uncertainty that gnawed at him. We stood just outside Aiden’s hut at Silver Fang, waiting for Ella and the medical team to emerge."I don't really know," I replied, my gaze locked on the ground

    I didn’t know that the sun was already up until Katherine walked in with my breakfast in her hand, and Clint just behind her. They both paused for a moment, their eyes scanning me where I sat hunched over the journal, still wrapped in the dim glow of the early morning light."You didn’t sleep?" Kat

    It was decided that I need to find the original treaty, and I have three days to do that before the Vampire Lord comes back to ask my final decision. Mateo made it easier for me to find an excuse to go back to my pack and for him to tag along in the guise to help me look for the original treaty th

    I woke up and found myself in the middle of darkness.I reached out beside me, hoping that Leo had finally returned, only to find out that he wasn’t there. I lay back down, pulling my covers to my chin, trying to keep myself warm.The silence was deafening. Even the usual whisper of the wind throug
