“Here, that’s what online maps are for.” Jaxon passes me his tablet from behind the sofa, showing me a map of the Amber Desert area. He spends the next hour showing me possible areas of expansion, of where I could build a local town to maximise a stream of regular revenue that would benefit the pac
~ Cleo ~ “How much longer?” Ares’ long sigh only adds to my irritation. He was meant to be helping me, not moaning at me…which is all he has done since following me outside. “Why, got somewhere to be?” I pause, panting out as I try to catch my breath. “Yes, I want to swim.” “Ares, you are the
“You’ve blocked the memories of her.” I seethe out, what was he hiding. He looks into my eyes puzzled until I see realisation dawn upon his face. Whatever it is, it’s enough for him to hit the side of his head. “Shit, yes…but not for the reason you think. It’s not my story to tell. Cleo, you are m
~ Cleo ~ I was riding high off my post climax bliss until my hand pushes down on the door handle, where I enter the alpha office, to find Callie sitting down by the window. She shifts as she turns to find me entering, I think it’s the first time I have ever seen her lacking confidence. “Is
I appreciate her words, but she doesn’t know the story behind us, how for the last year I hadn’t even seen him. I hadn’t seen him since turning eighteen years old, I wouldn’t have recognised the mate bond without not seeing him. Just like I wouldn’t have done if my mate was a stranger to me. It
~ Jace ~ Today had been weighing heavily on all of our minds, the day we finally said goodbye to Aunt Alora. We all stood in silence, our head’s bowed as we stood on the beach, the golden sands underfoot as we gave thanks to the moon goddess. Gave thanks for her presence in our lives. Mum had
…. I don’t think this has ever happened before, two alphas of one pack. Mum and Dad are known as the two alphas, but when it comes to the Dark Phantom pack…Mum has always been the Luna, not a joint alpha. But Josie made it very clear that she would only agree to take on the Clear Waters pack if
~ Jace ~ Josie, Knox, Jaxon and I all make our way over to the pack gates. The pack was in celebration mode but it doesn’t stop the new alphas from wanting to check the security of the pack. When it comes to the safety of the pack, you never truly switch off. Being an alpha isn’t a job, it’s a
~ 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
Was Medea here…had she brought me somewhere else. Had she found out that I was working for Alpha Darnell. “I just hope you are into rhyming…” His entire demeanour was amusement, a contrast to my growing murderous approach. I could tell he was an alpha, his aura was vibrating off him, but it was n
~ Runa ~ I can feel something painfully digging into my arm as I slowly wake from a deep sleep. I must have slept awkwardly on the barn floor, the rope forcing its way even further into my wrists. I know my body is numb from the freezing cold because I can’t even feel the hard floor, it feels soft
