Alaria:

I shouldn’t have been outside, and I knew it.

“Nasia slowed down. You know that it cannot run.” I said, watching as my daughter ran to play. This was the first time that she's been out since we got here. I knew that you would be energetic, but I did not expect her to be that energetic.

“But Mama, look, there is butterflies and there are trees everywhere.” She said, and I laughed.

My side burned with every step I took, the wound barely healed enough to bear my weight without a wince. But I knew that she needed the fresh air and I was going to stay by her side. I did not want her to be alone, nor did I want to stop her.

I walked slowly, hand pressed to my ribs, breathing through the ache. “Just be careful, do not go too far.”

“Careful child,” I heard her voice, making me frown. “Do you not see?”

“I'm sorry.” Anastasia said, and I glared at her as she walked towards me.

“She's a child. She was running. I believe that you know the rule. A child does what they want and we as adults

  • Alpha Liam   Chapter 19

    Liam:I barely stepped back inside when I heard her voice.“Liam.”I didn’t answer.“Liam!” Claire’s tone snapped like a whip. “Where were you? You can't walk away from me like that.”I turned slowly. She was standing in the hallway, arms crossed, lips tight, her eyes already full of fire. Her heart raced against her chest and judging by the situation we were in, I was forced to look down on her stomach before looking her in the eye. It was a reminder to myself that she is the mother of my child, that she is carrying my child.“You left the house before dawn, I looked for you, I called for you, and yet nothing. I even called your phone and you left it in the house. Why would you not leave the house early? Why would you leave your phone? I thought that you needed to go out. I thought that something might have happened. But you were within the pack.” She said, stepping closer. “And don’t lie to me… I saw you. You were with her, weren’t you? You went out because you wanted to talk to her

  • Alpha Liam   Chapter 18

    Alaria:I didn’t sleep that night.I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, sleep was refusing to come. It seemed that every moment that I was staying here was turning into hell.And it was not the pain in my side, it was his words. It was the way that he looked at me.It was not that he wouldn't let us leave and yet he wouldn't want her to claim anything that was hers. I didn't even want her to claim anything here.“Try to run… and I will tear down every inch of ground between us to bring you back.”He didn’t say it like a man trying to protect his child.He didn't say it like he cared as a father would.He said it like an Alpha claiming territory. Like he was forcing me to do something that I did not want to do. And he was. He knew that he was.And I was tired of being treated like land to be conquered. I was tired of him looking at me like I was less than he was. He chose this path. If I chose to step back, it was because he chose the path.Nasia stirred in her bed across the room,

  • Alpha Liam   Chapter 17

    Liam:“Did you realize that you did a wrong thing by threatening her like that, Liam?” Kai asked, glaring at me.“I didn’t mean to threaten her.” I said, snapping at him. “But you heard what she asked, and I'm not going to allow her to leave. I don't care what it takes. You're going to double security on her and I want to know every move that she makes. Even if it means stopping her daughter from going to school simply because I don't want her to think about running away. You're going to do so.”“Liam…”“Right now, she was the last person that I could afford to threaten, and yet I know that she's going to do everything in her power to try and leave, and I'm not going to allow that, Kai! She trusted her the first time. I did not know that she was carrying a child the first time. Had I known, I wouldn't have let her leave.” There was an edge in my voice, and I knew that he heard it. “I was supposed to tell her that I wanted her to stay. Instead, I found myself pushing her towards wantin

    Alaria:The courtyard was buzzing. It was always like this when news started to form around when it started to spread.Whispers moved like wind through stone, maids with half-lowered voices, warriors glancing between one another, servants bowing too deeply whenever Liam passed. I didn’t need anyone to say it out loud.The news was already flying around. And those who did not know were already aware.I already heard…Claire was pregnant.And the child would be Liam Blackthorne’s heir.A child that I knew was going to claim everything as his right.I heard it again and again, like a drumbeat in my ears. Heir. Heir. Heir.As if Anastasia didn’t exist. As if she hadn’t already bled his blood and carried his fire.Yes, I knew that. I did not want her to carry any of that responsibility. She was far too young. She was a child. But there was going to come at a time when she was going to know who she was. And when that happened, I wondered how he was going to explain that to her.I found him

  • Alpha Liam   Chapter 15

    Amelia:The woods were thicker tonight.Fog crawled between the roots like a serpent, slick and slow. The moon, veiled behind scattered clouds, gave only slivers of light. I moved quickly, but with care, every snapped twig felt like a scream in the silence. And I found it's harder for me to walk in silence, and I found it harder for me to be able to focus at all.Claire had trusted me with everything.I gave her my loyalty, even if it meant me cheating on the man that I now called Alpha. But I owed it to her. Had it not been for her, I would have been long dead. I would have been thrown out a long time ago. I would have been a rogue. One of them, one of those who are exiled.But I hated that I’d become good at this. I hated how good I had become at lying, deceiving and playing those that trusted me.The path she used for these meetings wound just outside Blackthorne’s eastern perimeter, nearly invisible beneath overgrowth. And hopefully if he had covered his slant, he would not be hea

  • Alpha Liam   Chapter 14

    Liam:The healer’s words echoed in my mind like a war drum muffled in snow.“Luna Claire is pregnant, Alpha.”I’d heard her voice clearly. Had watched the moment Claire’s lashes fluttered and her eyes opened, wide, glassy, fragile. The way that she seemed to tense up and the way her heart raced, I didn’t even miss her holding her breath for a few seconds.The way I held her hand and let myself believe, for a moment, that things were finally coming together. That maybe… just maybe… something in this storm would anchor me again. Something was going to hold the two of us together.She was pregnant. My Luna. My mate, at least by name, by choice. And we were going to have a child.I should have felt nothing but joy.I should have felt a warmth that I couldn’t explain.And at first, I did.There was a strange warmth in my chest, foreign and full, like the sun rising over dead winter fields. It filled the hollowness I’d carried since the day Alaria walked away. Since the day I signed the div
