“Look, here’s my card…” He places his hand back out towards me, a small business-shaped-card in his hands. I must seem very bizarre to him, not quite with it. Even now, my hands are running through my long blonde hair…trying to make sense of everything. To say I was in a state of inner turmoil
~ Cleo ~ The pregnancy is playing havoc with my senses because not only did I not pick up on him being close by, but I can’t even smell him. “Jace? What…what are you doing here. And what are you wearing?” My hand moves to my chest where I can feel my heart pounding. “Shh…I didn’t want to be r
“Protect from what?” “From you…from your family.” “I wouldn’t hurt the baby.” The colours runs off his face as if I had just slapped him. “No, I know that. But the baby will be the heir to the Clear Waters until you have a real baby with your mate..” “A real baby..” He chuckles out finding
“Together.” I repeat his words, that’s all I have ever wanted…to be together. “Together.” His hand raises up and cups the side of my cheek before it falls back down. I take a step forward, needing to touch him, to feel him. He was rigid, more muscular than the last time I saw him. He was still
~Jace~ “You need to control your temper more.” Josie unfairly reprimands me as she circles around me in the courtyard outside the alpha house, her wolf shining out through her eyes. Fuck, she looks like Dad except for her red hair. Those eyes are haunting to look at just like his; grey ash turning
“Yes, of course.” She was right, I had to keep on the path that we had chosen for ourselves. To take on the Clear Waters pack…and Callie to be my Luna. As Josie and Knox head back towards the house, my eyes turn back towards the pack gates. I’ve never seen Jaxon bail out of the pack grounds so qui
~ Jace ~ “Nothing like throwing her in the deep end eh? Josie moves towards me, just as Callie and Knox enter onto the training field. “She can handle it Josie, you just watch.” I smirk out as Callie gives me a wink of confidence. Knox was itching to spar against Callie, to get an idea of her
“Jace..” She growls out at me. “Okay okay.” I playfully back away, placing my hands out in defeat. The sparing match has gone into its second hour, not one of them showing signs of defeat. They were as stubborn as each other. They were also gaining an audience, warriors and pack members comin
“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
