I let his words sink in, my mind thinking on what he has just said. “I don’t need protecting Knox, I can protect myself. I want to build a life with you, share memories with you….not for you to only be with me to protect me. You’re my mate, not my bodyguard.” “I’m both. This is your pack, this is
~ Josie ~ Dad had spent the last few days arranging a wedding to beat all weddings. It promised to be grander than any wedding before, with alphas from other packs also in attendance. My only reservation…was keeping Mum calm and getting her down that aisle . One step at a time. I didn’t want to
“Just remember…keep your focus on Dad. He will be waiting for you at the end of the aisle.” She nods gently, before glancing at herself one final time in the mirror. Here we go… I lift her long train, gathering the excessive material in my hands; to aid her down the staircase. Praying that she do
~ Josie ~ Of course he would be here, members of the Clear Waters pack were also invited, leaving only a select few behind to keep any eye on the borders. This was a pack party on both sides after all. The celebrations were in full swing. Music played by a live performer and back up band, a
He places his arm around her shoulder, whispering something in her ear which gains a shy chuckle from her, only for him to pull her onto the dance floor. There was a time Jace and Cleo were thick as thieves, that he would defend her even to her own father…I don’t know what is going on with Jace,
~ Josie ~ “Jace!” I scream out, trying to push on the mind-link between us again but he continues to block me out. I take a step closer to him, to bridge the large distance between us, but he roars out at me. A warning not to come any closer. My wolf pushes forward in a defensive move, she wou
His face inches from mine. He was drunk, I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I hated him drunk, always have. “You need to get back to the party George, I can’t talk right now.” I try to push him off me but he doesn’t budge. “I’m not here to talk…” The corner of his lips curl up, his eyes v
~ Knox ~ “Maybe I should go after him…see what I have done to affend him?” Cleo continues to chew at her fingernails, she had been a nervous wreck since Jace stormed out, Josie following him. “I keep telling you Cleo, you haven’t done anything wrong. It’s his problem, not yours. Just leave him to
“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
