I was hurting her, her movements were like that of an injured defenceless animal being coerced into the corner. Callie moves towards her, my eyes can’t tear themselves away even as Auntie Rosa moves towards me to greet me….Maya then opening the front door and announcing her arrival like the fucking
~ Cleo ~ “Then she suits Jace after all because he’s done exactly the same.” Jaxon laughs out, but in no way is his comment meant as playful banter. He’s not even trying to hide the snide remark laced within his words. Nobody can help themselves, all eyes snapping towards him, then back to J
After the pizza tray incident I have no doubt that this plate will burn me. I can see the steam of heat rising off the dishes. They are burning hot. Time passes while her hand remains stretched out in front of me and I am just not taking the plate off her. “Cleo?” “Allow me…” Jaxon appears behin
~ Jace ~ “Cleo?” Without thinking I call out after her as she bolts from the dining table towards the downstairs bathroom. “Is she quite alright?” Luna Louise gasps out, looking towards Cleo’s parents who both move to chase after her. “I’ll go.” Jaxon moves past them, hurrying into the direction
If I sneak out now, nobody will notice. I know I shouldn’t, that I should stay well clear but I can’t. It goes against my very nature knowing she is somewere alone in pain…pain that unbeknown to her, I am causing. I don’t need help tracing her movements, her sweet scent still lingers in the cool
~ Cleo ~ He is not mine, he is not mine. I need to repeat it to myself internally as his coconut scent cocoons itself around me, something invisible to the naked eye…yet I feel it, it can’t just be me. I can’t be imagining the power he holds over me. I finally have him alone, I need to tel
too, that he wants me…. Until…he blinks, snapping out of the desire he has for me only to remind himself that I am not her. I watch it, slowly. Watch the way his eyes search mine before moving down to my lips, watch the change in his eyes…he doesn’t need to say the words, I can see it play
~ Jace ~ “Eh…what the fuck was that?” Josie’s growl echoes through her own cabin, bouncing off the wooden built walls. What was that, what have I just done. I lost myself in her, in the need to touch her…to be near her. I’ve potentially just ruined everything. “Josie, can you give us a minute?
“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
