Lilah She looks at me with those dark eyes of hers. Her jaws hangs open as she tries to make sense of my words. Her head slowly moves up and down but her eyes become full of tears. “I lost my pup for you.” “I know.” I immediately felt guilty. I had been blaming her for everything when all along she had done what she could to protect me and that meant sacrificing her pup. I had been so stupid. “And why did the Moon goddess show herself to me? I’m no one.” She mutters quietly. “You are still half wolf. Who do witches pray to?” It wasn’t something I ever thought about “The horned God. That’s what grandma said.” She mutters as she looks at her hand. “Did she bind us? Was the Moon Goddess responsible for tying us together?” “I don’t know.” “Lilah, I don’t understand.” “You’re not the only one. What does it all mean? Why are we bound by blood?” “I think we were always supposed to be. I mean we share the same father. You and I are half sisters. It can't be anything else.” “You thin
Linc“I don’t understand why the Moon Goddess would come to you and then me?” Daphne mutters as she makes herself a drink“She has her reasons!” It was hard to actually give her a valid reason when I didn’t really know why.“But why? And why now?”“I don’t have all the answers, Daphne. It’s rare that anyone gets to meet the Moon Goddess. Alpha Colt has never met her, well not that he has said anything.”“Don’t you think it’s weird?”“Everything surrounding you is weird.” I snap, annoyed with all the questions. It had been a long couple of days.“But…”“Daphne, please change the subject. You and Lilah have made up, you should be happy with that.”“I am but I still don’t know how I’m supposed to use my magic to protect her when I don’t even know what I’m capable of.”“You have used your magic twice. ”“You mean breaking through Alpha Colt’s order?”“Yes.”“But that was just…instinct.”“I’m not a witch, I don’t know how it works.” I shrug my shoulders at her.“And the only witch I know o
Alpha Colt. “You’re mated? Callie flashes her eyes out into the crowd of people. I see how Grant smiles back at her. There could have been worse people that Callie could have been mated too. “How long have you known?” “Do we have to do this now?” She mutters back. “They are all waiting for you to say something.” I look out at the waiting Lycans. “Callie will be standing in as secondary Beta shortly after the ceremony.” “I’m what?” She glares at me “It’s already been decided.” “Without discussing it with me?” “You are the next best person after Linc.” “Where are you going?” She glares at Linc, “And why haven’t you told me?” “You didn’t tell me you were mated!” Linc mutters back as everyone watches us. “I didn’t know I had too!” Callie snaps "Where are you going?" "I'm taking Daphne to Moonstone." “Guys, we will deal with this after. Just shut your mouths for now.” I mutter as everyone watches us. Callie stomps off and goes to stand next to Grant. I see how they lock hand
Alpha Colt“We don’t know.” There was no point in lying about it. We didn’t, we had tried to figure it out but at the end of the day, Aiden was what he was.Aiden shrugs his shoulders, “Pretty cool if you ask me.”Knox shakes his head and turns to look at me, “really?”“I’m not hiding anything from him,” I mutter. “He wants to know as much as we do.”“Maybe there is no answer. He is the first of his kind isn’t he?” Knox queries“Possibly, I don’t know.”“You don’t know? You are the king?”“It was only recently that I learned there are a lot more half-breeds living out there. For all I know, there are others like him.”"What about the cull?" He asks quietly"Obviously many were missed." I mutter annoyed. "Including my own father.""What do you mean?""My father, fathered a half-breed. A shifter. The shifter that was with Lilah when you turned them away."He stares at me with his dark eyes. "The old King didn't stand by his own orders?""No.""Well, I didn't see that coming. Are you sur
LilahI could hear them from out here. I didn’t want to get involved but I knew I had too. One of them was going to come off worse and somehow, I don’t think it will be AidenStanding outside the kitchen door, I hear Aiden say something about being a beast. Shoving the door open. His grey eyes meet mine. Blood was smeared across his face and chest. His chest was moving fast as his heart thudded in his chest.“What’s going on?”Colt puts a hand out, his words like a whisper in my mind “Stay there.”“You brought me into this world, you made me what I am!” Aiden is shouting at Colt“Aiden, this is just how it is.” Colt mutters and Aiden’s eyes turn towards him. "We don't have the answers."“What is that supposed to mean? Look at me, look at what you and mother did.”What the hell was going on with him.“Aiden, you are making it sound worse than it is.”I still didn’t understand what I had walked in too. He had looked so happy when he ran by us with the rabbit. Quickly looking around, I
DaphneAiden was out cold. His large body sprawled out on the cold stone floor of the dungeon. Callie paced in front of the cells, her arms folded across her chest in frustration.“I should have been there. I should have been with Lilah.” She mutters as she pauses in front of his cell.“No one was expecting this to happen.” I tell her, keeping my eyes focussed on him. "Would anyone expect her own son to attack her?"“But you were able to stop him before he did something stupid.”I ignore her comment and keep watching Aiden. “Why do you think he turned on them?”“How would I know? Maybe it’s because of him being both. A wolf and a Lycan. No one has come across anyone like him before. Not one of us know what to expect.”“Alpha Knox was talking about a feral stage, but he doesn’t think it's that.” Callie sighs, “I agree, being feral is just something we all go through. But from what you and Linc have told me, this boy is bat shit crazy. I mean just look at the size of him, and he is wha
LincThey stepped out of the forest line, one by one, large Rogue Lycan's stand in a line. Filling the space between us and them. Their yellow eyes scanned the grounds as if they were searching for something.“Daphne, I mean it, stay with me!” I lock on to her, making sure she couldn’t move.“Shouldn’t we call Alpha Colt, now?” She asks, alarmed.Alpha Knox shakes his head “We can deal with them.”“There are wolves here.” I mutter, looking at Daphne and then to Alpha Knox, they won't stand a chance."One of the yellow eyed Lycans steps forward. He continues to look among the wolves. Ignoring all the other Lycans“We want Aiden.” He speaks“How are you talking?” As far as I was aware, Rogue Lycans were unable to speak except through mind link.His snout twitches as his lip curls back, showing his sharp teeth. Daphne lets out a little whimper from next to me.“Where is he?” He growls as all the Rogues take a step forward towards us.“That is none of your business.” I growl back at him"
Alpha Colt“What the fuck are you talking about. No one gave my son to you.”The Rogue snarls as Knox holds him still“Who?” I demandThe yellow eyes stare deep into my own and now he refuses to speak“Kill him.” I mutter. I had no more time or patience for this.Knox takes one look at me and nods his head. He places his foot on the back of the Rogues neck and slams down on him. The deafening crack of the Rogues spine was enough to know he wouldn’t have survived it.“We could have questioned him further.” utters Linc“We wouldn’t have gotten anything from him. He is a sheep. He is just following the others.” Knox retorts“I need you to keep an eye on the forest, make sure we have no other surprises.” I tell Linc“What are you going to do?”“I’m going to speak to my son.”“I will come, just in case you need a hand.” Knox offers and I shake my head telling him to stay with Linc. I didn’t need anyone else interfering with this.Heading to the dungeons, I make my way down the stone steps.
