I’ve never had a problem with searching for Cameron in my dreams. I just kind of always felt him…Heck, there was once a time I wanted the complete opposite.Being a teenager and having your big brother constantly in your head was the opposite of ideal.But now? I would kill to have my brother reading my invasive thoughts. So that he would know just how freaking worried I was about him.I couldn’t eat or sleep.Mary had tried to sneak in some food for me but it all went untouched. Partly because I didn’t want a single thing Thane gave me and secondly, because my body wouldn’t allow me.Here I was, seated in this room feeling caged when my brother and sister and everyone else could be in danger. Or already gone.People had this misconception that when you constantly faced loss, it somehow became a part of you. But that wasn’t the case at all.Grief and loss would always haunt a person, change them from the inside until it manifested outwards.I had never said it to him but that’s exact
You can’t run away from your problems. That’s a well known fact.But it doesn’t mean I can’t try.The wind rushed through me and I felt like I was zipping through time itself. Sometimes I thought that if I deluded myself into believing I could just escape everything, it would somehow become true.And there was no better way to do this than in my wolf form. Your wolf form was the state in which you could take on the most primal form you could imagine.Your instincts ruled you and you didn’t have to think twice or second guess everything in your head. Life was simpler and I knew I could always clear my head with a run in the woods where there was nothing but my thoughts to keep me company.I slowed down, my paws pressing onto the ground as I neared the familiar spot.The cliff.Even in this state I knew one thing for sure, Jaimie would have known exactly what to do.I stretched out my front limbs in front of myself before standing straight and admiring the view. I couldn’t blame my br
“Okay, sorry I’m late but I’m here now.” Lyra spoke as she burst into the study.We were all gathered; all of us being Piper, Mary, Madam Royce and Landon.Piper had mentioned that whatever she had to disclose was important and sensitive. And so far, these are the only people I could trust to keep that information safe.Lyra looked around at everyone’s faces. The atmosphere was serious and tense. And Piper sat on the couch in the centre with Landon by her side for comfort.I studied her, knees pressed together, hands clasped, her head lowered.I could practically feel the tension emanating off of her. She looked as nervous as she slowly looked up.Lyra walked into the room, her eyes resting on me with a million questions in her eyes.“What’s going on?” She asked in a whisper.As if hearing the question, Piper looked right at her.She let out a breath, unclasped and clasped her hands together again before scooting to the edge of the couch.“Okay, I guess I have some explaining to do.”

When you get marked, it’s supposed to be some magical moment meant to solidify your mating bond.To be quite honest, it’s an old belief. Mutilating each other never showed propriety in it’s true form.The bond never needed physical evidence, it was always there, always obvious in the looks, the touch, how you could see two people on two different sides of the room and just know they were meant to be.I had found out Thane was my mate while locked up in a cage scared to hell for my life.It hadn’t been the most ideal way to discover there was actually someone out there meant for me.But it was nothing in comparison to the day I got marked.I still remembered it like it was yesterday.Up until then, I had been aware of the dark Lord but almost fully convinced that as long as I had my brother and sister, fighting for me, he couldn’t get to me.Our borders were as fortified as they could get. Sure some dark ones slipped in and out from time to time but we only ever really worried about ge
Randall didn’t stand down. He walked out from where he had been standing to position himself in the aisle so that he could stare straight at me.“You heard me.” He spoke. “Why should we take her word for it? Why shouldn’t we believe the king who has kept us safe all these years? The king who you - alpha - antagonised.” He hissed.A vein was poking out from his forehead, just an example of his rage. He glared at me. “You’re the reason king Reagan took away our protection! You, Thane are the reason we’re in this situation! You failed as an alpha and you know it!”The room fell silent. Everyone was now watching with bated breaths and I couldn’t help but wonder how many people in this room agreed with Randall.Lyra turned to me looking like she didn’t know what to do or say either.I knew what I would have done, normally. Beat Randall’s ass into submission. Show him why I was in charge here.But something stopped me. Everyone’s emotions were at peak levels here. I wasn’t Jaimie but even
