~ Cleo ~ My eyes cast upon Jace’s and Josie’s heated discussion just outside of the hospital room door. I wasn’t deliberately listening but the anger hitting me through the bond from Jace was hard to ignore, as was Josie’s deathly scowl aimed solely at her brother. I do feel for her. Through no
“That’s right, I’m one up on you.” I cut the mind-link, purposefully pushing my butt into his groin, teasing him. “Which I will leave the three of you to do.” I say to all three of them, exiting the room. “You don’t have to. I want you to stay.” Jace’s voice pushes into my mind. I could feel t
~ Cleo ~ “No, I want to go after her myself…and I imagine Jace will too.” Jaxon’s voice has a determination to it, it not being up for discussion. “As the former luna of the Amber Desert pack, surely it is up to Jace and I to decide the next cause of actions.” I firmly respond. “This is
There was far too much testosterone in this room right now. “Walking away?” “No, I’m checking on my mate who is unconscious, from healing your friend.” Knox grunts out as he moves towards the staircase, his lips snarling. Jace takes Knox’s place beside me without hesitation. He even places hi
~ Cleo ~ We were at the end of the bed, just holding one another. Just inhaling each other’s scents. He had to leave, I know he does…but I can’t let him go. I can’t let go. “Please be careful.” I whisper into his ear, dropping my walls so that he could feel my anxiety through the mate bond.
I was different now, not only was I a marked woman…I was a Luna. I had a new strength from within me. The pack needs me to remain strong, which is why I have decided to return back today. The Varon’s still needed space to mourn and my own parents wanted to also give them time alone. Especially Kai
~ Cleo ~ “We arent looking for trouble Dad. I just don’t feel comfortable letting Callie go alone. If Jace was here, he would go with her. They won’t do anything with another pack’s luna around. Besides, Ares is coming with us.” Dad blocks the very vehicle that Callie and I both plan to take.
“Yes sir, born and raised. ” “You don’t smell like a rogue.” I comment. “Jace kind of made the beach club into a little pack, I guess I get away with it on a technicality.” He lifts his fingers into the air, making a quotation movement with both hands. “So what’s with the hat…and the whistle
~ 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
