~ 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?
“Does she even know?” “No…or at least I don’t think so.” “Why can’t you be together?” “Because I can’t lose her.” “Lose her to what?” “Being a mate of the Varon family comes with threats..” “But you can lose me?” She raises an eyebrow at me. “No…you’re twisting it…” I seethe out, the bitter
~ Cleo ~ I’m not home twenty minutes before I hear my parent’s car pulling up outside. I’m pacing the floor of my bedroom, the toxic mixture of both guilt and anger threatening to erupt out of me. She caught us, his own mate caught us together. My lips could still taste his on me, even n
Just tell them Cleo, tell them who the real father of the baby is… “You’re acting Mum as if my baby is an issue, you said yourself that the entire pack was behind me…that you didn’t care about the baby’s father.” “Human or not, you are still having a baby without a mate…” Her words are like a hu
~ Jace ~ “So this is where you are hiding?” An overly aggressive kick to the stomach wakes me with a start. Josie… “What do you want?” I growl out, my eyes reluctantly opening to the bright morning sunshine. A pain in my neck informing me that I hadn’t slept on a bed. I hadn’t made it back t
“I’m not using her.” “Then what are you doing, because you can’t have them both.” “I don’t expect to have them both, she left last night, I didn’t go after her.” My lack of action in chasing after Cleo has sealed our fate. With that and ghosting her after the hotel night, I’ll be the last person s
~Jace~ I let the icy cold stream of water wake me back to my senses. With the smell of alcohol being washed out of my pores I feel fully awake again. I would leave immediately, with Callie and head on to the Clear Waters pack. She will need to spend time getting to know the pack, getting used
I had hoped to leave whilst they were still asleep “Jace?” Mum pauses in the hallway, her eyes looking towards the bags at the front door before looking up at me. “Callie and I are heading to the Clear Waters pack.” I smile out. “So soon?” Mum’s eyes look between Callie and I, before looking t
“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
