“You knew what?” “That you had hooked up with someone…was it him…” “Who?” I panic. “…the barman?” She pauses, her brows furrowing. Did she not see him? Did she not notice Jace…how could she not. He was easily the hottest guy at the pool and his entrance hadn’t been discreet. He has an
~ Cleo ~ I reach for my phone without hesitation, Jace was a half of this story. This child was his and he has a right to know. “Can I come by the hotel, it’s important? x” I write the text message out, taking in a deep calming breath of air before pressing send. With all the attempts from num
I have been in love with Jace since I was a little girl. He was a best friend that at some point I developed deeper feelings for. I couldn’t tell you the exact moment but friendship turned to love at an early age. I’ve tried to let go, but nobody else compared to him…who ever could. This baby woul
“He’s in the shower…you know..” She shrugs with a knowing smile. He was cleaning off having just had sex with her… My heart that had already plummeted at the sight of her feels as if it is stuck in a never ending free-fall into the depths of the earth. Into darkness. “Sorry…” I mutter out as I cl
~ Cleo ~ “You’ve done a test I take it?” Doctor Sophia asks me, as I sit in the chair on the other side of her desk. I was rarely in here nowadays, compared to my childhood. Sophia’s predecessor always on standby to soothe Mum’s worries from a simple cut or graze…the normality of childhood. If I
“Cleo, you really should give your parents more credit.” “Sophia please.” I plead with her, my voice desperate. “You’ll need the night to sleep on it. I have an appointment first thing, be here at 8am. If you still feel the same as you do right now, then I will put measures in place…” “Thank yo
I was starting to let my body shed. “I can’t keep it.” I whisper out. “Why not?” “It would bring shame upon the family, you and Mum will never forgive me.” “When have we ever put that on you. When have we ever made you feel that way?” It pains me to see the frown form upon his face. Truthfully
~ Jace ~ Taking that first step back into Dark Phantom territory wasn’t easy. I didn’t call ahead, incase I changed my mind last minute. This was my home, all of my childhood memories were here. Sure, we visited the Clear Waters pack many a times, but I always feared I would never get the same
“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
