~Alayasia~The more I move, the stronger the pull. I know I’m going in the right direction, but it’s hard. I have to make sure that I stay out of sight. I’ve caught whiffs of wolves as I traveled, but they weren’t from my father’s pack. I’ve been able to stay away from them just in case. There’s no guarantee that he didn’t convince other packs and rogues to come after me, too. I’ve jumped on buses and jumped off. I’ve traveled in the woods and on human streets. I’ve done whatever I needed to do to follow that pull. I’ve barely stopped my efforts, knowing that I need to make it to my mate as soon as I can.Darkness is all around me, and the moon is high in the sky. That’s the only light I have, the moonlight. I didn’t bring a phone with me or a flashlight. I’ve been ducking behind trees when the sounds in the forest get too close. I have no idea if the noise is from animals or someone who means me harm. The pull is stronger now. It’s so strong that it almost feels like I can reach ou
~Shiloh~The call disconnects, and I pull the phone away in confusion. I have no idea what he meant by that, as ominous as it was. I don’t really care about Maxim, but it’s been so long since I’ve had a release. I was hoping we could get together for a session or two. It would probably ease both of our ails. Ever since those two landed here, my life has been shit. Houston acts like I’m nothing to him, and I hate that. I’ve been here with him for years, and I don’t get how some random human can turn him away from me. She’s not even here anymore, and he’s still lost to me. He’s now taking care of that human mutt, and I don’t understand why. What is it about either of them that has him so wrapped up?I thought about killing the child or at least selling her off. If Goeffroy hadn’t arrived yesterday, I probably would have done that. Her mother isn’t here, so there’s no need for her to be here. Houston would be sad for a while, but he’d get over it. I was even ready to give him a child to
~Alayasia~I find myself in a human town, trying to blend in. It isn't too hard, but I still have to be careful. I'm fairly certain that they've already found Maxim's body. That being said, they have to be searching for me. It wasn't my first thought to kill him. I'm not a violent person, and I'm not a murderer. I'd much rather talk it out or leave the situation if it gets that serious. I don't know what came over me, but I couldn't stop myself. You wanted to live. That's what came over you. You wanted the future of your choosing, and there's nothing wrong with that. I guess that Clover is right. I've finally given up trying to be quiet and going with the flow. The flow has never led me to a good place, and I can't keep living that way. I refuse to become a breeder; to simply be used to create babies. That's bad enough, but to spread me around... The idea that I'm supposed to have babies by multiple men is disgusting. I should have never left my mate. I should have followed his pla
~Jakob~Karis and I are on our floor, walking down the hall. I have so many things I want to say and ask, but I’m having trouble finding the words. “Just ask me.” I turn to look at Karis. She’s looking forward, but I know she can sense my muddled mind. “What do you mean?” Karis stops walking and turns to face me. “Don’t do that. Our bond may not be completed yet, but I can still feel you. You have a lot of questions, so just ask.” I let out a sigh and try to get my thoughts in order. “Were you really pregnant?” I know what we talked about in the mindlink and what she said to Geoffroy, but I just really need to have this conversation with her myself. Karis sighs and walks backward until her back hits the wall. She situates herself in a more comfortable position. “I’ve actually been looking for you all day today. When I got up this morning, there was blood. Rain said that I was pregnant, but being marked by you loosened its hold on my body, and I lost it.” I swear, I feel like I jus
~Geoffroy~Furious doesn’t even cover how I feel. I don’t understand what the fuck is happening at my pack right now. How the fuck is it that these people keep disappearing when I have a fully set-up pack? “Pull over.”“Uh, sir?” My growl rips through the air, rattling the windows. “PULL THE FUCK OVER!” My driver hurries and pulls the car over. He fumbles to get out of the car, but I don’t wait. I throw the door open and scramble out. As soon as my feet hit the ground, I shift, letting Alrik take over. He takes off, hurrying back home. We will make it faster on four legs than on four tires. ⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱⤱I have no idea how long it took for us to make it back, but I know that I beat my driver here. I’m outside my pack’s borders, where a crowd of my warriors has gathered. I shift into my human form, and I push past everyone standing around. I can admit that I wasn’t fully prepared for what awaited me. There’s a body on the ground, and it isn’t moving. I was already told that a b
~Houston~I was perfectly fine before, I swear. Actually, I was enjoying watching this asshole get put in his place. I’m sure he thought that we would have no choice but to let Karis go, but that isn’t the case. He may act like he’s unbothered, but I know he’s pissed as hell. I was fine until he mentioned Zara. Fury like no other floods my system as his words settle over me. His granddaughter?! He’s looking for his granddaughter? He’s looking for the child that he never cared about, never acknowledged?! How the fuck does that work? She’s our pup! He can’t have her! He can’t be anywhere near her! Don’t worry, Colby. I’d rather die first than let him near her. We will keep our pup safe. This doesn’t calm my wolf, but I didn’t expect it to. I slowly turn toward him, my fists clenched at my side. I said before that I’d go after him, and I meant it. I don’t care if I die attacking him, as long as I get to take him with me. “Granddaughter?”“Yes, if you remember, Alayasia had a daughter.
