*** Ivan ***Alpha orders us all out of the cells and I feel so bad for him. His mate will never trust any of us now. I know Manzitti, this will be fucking killing him. He would have tried to be patient with his tiny mate and, as much as it would have tormented him, he would have taken it slow for her. Now he has met her and felt the bond, like I have, he would have done whatever it took to win her over.He would have wanted to get to know Helen and allow her time to get to know him but Gamma Aivi has fucked that up royally. And the sacred trust and relationship between Luna and Gamma will never be there now; well, not while he is still Gamma. Both myself and Manzitti told the elders Aivi was not ready but because his father had been the Gamma and had died in service, they had been insistent that he take his father’s place. Now look at what that sentimentality has caused.“Slayne, I am just going to change my clothes so I am ready if Manzitti needs me.” She smiles at me, and my heartb

*** Helen ***I am kind of hurt that Manzitti did not at least attempt to peek at me while I was in the shower. I faced him the entire time just in case he did, and he never once moved and as time went by, I started to feel more and more self-conscious. Maybe the mate thing doesn’t necessarily mean he is attracted to me sexually? I was sure I had seen desire in his eyes, and yet it’s been so long that I doubt myself now, I have obviously got it wrong. He doesn’t fancy me.I was scared of him leaving in case another wolf-man came in. They are so big and strong, yet they look completely human. My options were pretty clear to me. I could get showered and dressed alone and in fear, or I could ask Manzitti to stand guard with his back to me and not be afraid.I suppose I have to be honest and admit… I did want him to want to look at me. I feel the connection between us, and I can’t explain it, it's unlike anything I have ever experienced before. My body is by no means anything to write hom

“Hey, don’t cry. Shortie, I promise I will help you find your daughter.” Manzitti’s voice brings me out of my tormented reminiscing. I have wasted so much time trying to change Alan, trying to be something I am not to make him happy. I am done.Before I realise it, Manzitti’s big, strong arms are around me, and the physical contact brings more tears to my eyes. My little Summer, my little ray of sunshine, I hope she is safe wherever she is. I need her back with me, I cannot bear not knowing where she is and if she is safe and cared for.It feels so good to be in Manzitti’s arms, to be held like I mean something to him. I have so many questions about who he is, what he is and what I am to him. I will be completely transparent and honest: I do feel a connection to him, and if I am going to end my marriage properly maybe this is something I would be willing to consider in the future. Although the thought of being intimate with another man and him judging my performance too scares the liv

*** Melanie ***This is the first time I have ever been to Alan and Helen’s house, and I am both in awe and jealous at the same time. They live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a private estate. Their house is modest but immaculately kept. It is decorated tastefully and with pride.Apart from one photo of Helen and Alan together, there is no evidence of Alan belonging here. The photographs of Summer are numerous and it’s the first time I have seen the daughter of my lover. She is cute, although there is hardly any of Alan in her, she favours her mother in looks.I feel inadequate as I look around. My rented home is nothing in comparison to this place, why on earth would Alan want to leave this comfortable and beautiful home with his wife and daughter to come and live with me?Then it hits me all at once: it’s because he loves me! He has never ever said it to me even when I have asked him, he’s replied yes but he’s never said the words. But now I understand, he must really, really love me and

Seven years ago, he said he was almost finished with her. Only a couple of months later he broke my heart into a thousand pieces when he announced to everyone that he and Helen had eloped, and he had popped her cherry. He announced it in the bar in front of everyone giving me no heads up or inclination of what was happening. Alan told us all he and his gorgeous wife were off to start a new life in Germany. He didn’t even make eye contact with me, he just acted like I didn’t exist or matter. He just sat there pulling Helen all over him, pawing at her and bragging about her.Later that same night he came into my bedroom through the window, and we made love for the last time. I didn’t know it was going to be the last time but he basically called it a leaving present afterwards. I wasn’t sure if that was for me or him.I point out the small photograph of him and Helen on their wedding day and Alan scowls at me. “Not now, Mel, for fucks sake,” he snarls at me before placing the photograph

*** Halle ***When I get to my father’s office, Brad is inside with a leggy blonde with far too much leg and breast on show. I stay outside and listen to what is happening.“Bring me the files and leave them on my desk.” I hear a filing cabinet sliding open. “Is this all the stuff we have on social services, Erin?”“Yes, sir, but my name is Bethany, remember?” There is a small silence followed by rustling and more drawers opening.“Yeah, yeah whatever, love. Look, Ms Morales will be here any minute and she needs help locating a little girl. I need the contact we have for social services, child protection, the lot. Who is our contact?”There is some page turning, “Oh, here it is, Mr. Suarez, it’s a guy named Gerry, he works in child protection.”“Okay that’ll be all, Stephanie, could you please show Ms Morales straight in when she arrives? Thank you.”I hear a huff of exasperation and some muttering under her breath. “My name is Bethany!” I can’t help but smile when the blonde comes ou

“I don’t think there is anything to say. You are being trained to take over from MY father because you have a dick and I don’t. You get to take my inheritance, my birthright, because I am a silly woman who could never cope in this man’s world.” He raises his eyebrows at me and I see a smirk starting to grow.“Ok then, so the elephant stays for now but maybe later you will give me a few moments of your time to correct you on what is actually going on here. Until then, we have a little girl to track.”As he starts to show me everything, he has collated in the time it has taken me to drive over here, I cannot help but be impressed with him. Our first port of call is one of our moles in Child Protection. I go to get out my phone when Brad places his hand on mine, and I feel like he has filled my body with an explosive.Whenever I get near, I start to feel weird around him, like a desire like I’ve never known before. My vibrator is going to be pounded tonight and I’m sick to my stomach tha

*** Melanie ***Alan is raging as he drives my car like a maniac through the streets back to our side of town. “She thinks she can just bring some other man into my house with my kid in it. Well, she’s got another thing coming, she is getting no divorce from me, the whore. Who does she think she is?”“But I thought that was what you wanted Alan, to be able to divorce Helen and move on with me? I don’t see why you are so angry. She was the one who caught us in the act, remember,” I tell him. The words are hardly out of my mouth before he stops the car abruptly.“Get out now!” he shouts at me; his eyes are wide and wild and his spit flies everywhere, making me cringe. “Get out of this fucking car now, Mel, before I punch your face in.”Tears roll down my face. “This is my car; we are driving to my house. I am not a pushover like Helen, you can’t talk to me like you talk to her.” I stand up to him for the first time knowing if I allow this to happen, this will set the tone for the rest o
