~ Josie ~ “Mate, he is our mate.” My wolf repeats in my mind, as if there was never any doubt. As if I should have known this all along. But I didn’t even know I had a wolf, let alone possible for me to also have a mate. “Mate?” My lips form the words just as Knox moves towards me, his hands gri
~ Josie ~ As soon as I enter my bedroom I reach for my phone, it was on my bedside table where I had left it. I can see that I have a missed call from Knox…he must have thought I had taken my phone with me…the last thing he would have expected was to see me shifted. The last thing I expected t
“What’s going on?” I asks as I walk past Knox’s motorbike towards them. “Change of plan.” Knox’s eyes scan the length of me before he bites down on his bottom lip, my heart racing from his reaction at seeing me. Will it always be like this, will it always be this lustful, I think it will be. H
~ Knox ~ I should have known a quiet drive in the country lanes would be off the cards now. Hector was already waiting by my cycle when I came back downstairs, his warriors already assembled and waiting. At least he agreed to me driving Josie just the two of us. I didn’t fancy a back full of warri
“Fine, but it’s waiters and chefs that have been approved only.” “What about him?” I gesture my head to the man standing at mine and Josie’s table. On closer inspection he doesn’t even have menus in his hand. She turns, her eyes meeting mine…a look upon them that I didn’t need a mind-link with h
~ Josie ~ “Just slow down…he might have been lying.” Knox’s hand moves from the car’s gear stick and on to my upper thigh. No doubt he could sense my wolf, she was pushing against me. It was like she was biting down on a bone and wanted more. She wasn’t willing to give up until she knew everyth
“What has Auntie Alora got to do with this?” Jace was the one to ask the question swirling around my head. “I have a younger half brother, his name is Than Sable and he is the Alpha of the Amber Desert pack.” Dad turns to us but keeps his reassuring hands on Mum. “An Alpha?” My voice repeats.
~ Josie ~ “You married someone before meeting your mate?” I can’t stop the words that blurt out of my mouth. In some twisted romanticised way I always thought Mum and Dad had always existed as one. To think of Mum with someone else…married to someone else before being with Dad, before having us…se
“Oh right, yes Kit and I are both the Alphas of the Clear Waters pack.” I hadn’t heard of this… “I didn’t know…” “Really? I thought it was common knowledge now, where have you been?” She chuckles out before pausing at my frown. “In a cave.” I deadpan. “I’m sorry Runa, I didn’t think…of course.
~ Runa ~ I was losing control, losing focus. Even as I wake up in Jaxon’s bed, his scent surrounding me…I can feel my resolve weakening. I should have gone through with it last night, I would be back at the Silver River pack righting my Father’s past wrongs. I should have gone through with it,
~ Jaxon ~ It is clear she has an aversion to touch, which isn’t wholly surprising given her experienced with the rogues. But I was struggling to rein my wolf in, he wanted to touch her…to feel her soft skin under touch, to kiss her….to claim her. My biggest fear was not being able to keep him
His eyes are watching me, his glare darting between my eyes and my now clear neck. It would take him a mere second to claim me, to take me as his. To sink his teeth into me. I freeze, panic coursing through me as I hold my breath…it would only take a second. But he isn’t that kind of man, I know
~ Runa ~ “Alpha, the evening report.” A male with ash blonde hair that is turning grey by the temples enters into the dining room, a file within his hold as he hands it over to Hector. “Beta Riley, I think my son can take the report tonight.” Hector nods out before Jaxon shifts in the chair next
“Sure there is, you don’t just end up in a rogue camp without a back story. How long were you there?” Jaxon’s Mum pours herself another glass of wine, her eyes watching me like a hawk. “You talk as if it were a holiday park.” I scoff out slightly. “Enlighten me then…” Her voice rings out, a co
~ Runa ~ The aura radiating off the man before me was palpable, he was an intense individual. His aura dark, powerful. If I thought Alpha Darnell and the bitch, Medea, were intense…they were a walk in the park compared to my next target. His aura, when I was strangling his brother, threaten
…. “I should have informed you the moment I knew she was awake, this is my fault.” Jace stands by the bedroom door, Josie next to him as she once again has used her healing abilities on my mate. “She had been captured by a rogue camp, beaten for I don’t know how long…she was just scared. If it’s
~ Jaxon ~ “Jace!” Cleo’s desperate cry wakes me from the pathetic sleep I finally allowed my body to cave into. I should have known I wouldn’t be able to rest. She clutches at her chest, her frantic cry waking the entire household, most of us having fallen asleep downstairs whilst taking it i
