Hey everyone. Hope you are all well and having a nice weekend. The story will start transitioning into Aiden's story soon as he begins to learn more about himself. As for Daphne, what do you think will happen to her? There will be no update tomorrow (30th April) But I will be back on the 1st of May.)
Aiden“What is he talking about?” I half whisper to Ivy. Dad was already making his way back to Knox. His footsteps hit the ground with force. Or maybe it was the silence surrounding him that made them sound louder than usual. Ivy shrugs her shoulders at me. Her blue eyes showed that she was just as unknowing as I was.“What the fuck did you say?!” My father growls and the others take a step back, clearing the space around them.“You should have tried to save him.” Knox spits. “You have no idea what you have done.”My fathers fist connects with Knox’s face, sending him sliding across the road as more teeth fly out of his mouth.“Tell me, what exactly have I done?”“You should have let him die at my hand.”“Should we do something?” Ivy’s soft voice flutters through my mind and I slowly shake my head. “It’s too late for him.” I mutter back, knowing the things that my father is capable of“No, I mean, should we help your father?” Her comment makes me smile. “He doesn’t need help.”We
DaphneI don’t even remember getting here. I don’t remember what happened after I saw Linc’s lifeless body. Moments before, I had felt like my life had flashed before my eyes. The sting of the matebond being ripped away from me. It wasn't anything like when I rejected him. This was something else. Like my own soul was being ripped away with his.Lilah had been screaming at me to stop, but I had to see him. I had to know if it was true, if he had really been taken from me. Her voice was still ringing in my head. Her desperation to keep me away but Linc was my mate, not hers. If Alpha Colt had been in the same way, I would have let her go. I would never have even considered holding her back.Slumping down on the sofa in mine and Lilah’s flat. I look at my bruised and battered feet. I hadn’t even put on any footwear when I took off running from the packhouse. Now they were covered in cuts and blisters and yet, they didn’t hurt.My feet slowly begin to heal as I sat and watched them. The
Aiden“You should go and find her.” Ivy mutters at me“Why? She’s walked away from us. She has walked away from my mum.”“She’s hurting. She has lost her mate. You need to be prepared. Or try and stop her before she becomes out of control."“I can worry about my aunt later, right now. I need to know who you are.”She flashes her brilliant blue eyes at me. “I’ve already told you.”“But it doesn’t make any sense. How could my father not know that any of you existed?”“Maybe he just didn’t want to see us.” She shrugs her shoulders at me. “We should really get off the road.”“It’s a private road.”Her eyes dart about. “I will tell you whatever you want to know, but not here.” She grabs my hand, sending the wave of sparks flying up my skin. But she doesn’t say anything. She leads me deep into the forest, closely followed by the other hybrids.Finding a clearing, she asks one of the others to start a fire before turning her attention to me. “You can shift between them!” she mutters“Yes, bu
Alpha ColtGuiding Aiden into the office, I find Lilah asleep on the sofa, curled up in a ball and holding on to Aiden’s hospital baby blanket.“Mum?”“Aiden, let her sleep.” I was certain that Lilah was pregnant again and I did not need a repeat of what happened last time. “Now what do you know about Daphne?”“Ivy said something about how hatred could do horrible things to people.”“It can.”“But that’s not all Dad, I saw something. When you kept telling me to shut up, I was trying to tell you that a light appeared in Daphne’s hands. Ivy saw it too, so I know I’m not going mad.”“A light?”“When she started screaming at us for not helping Linc. Her hands were balled up, it was just a quick flash, but it was there.”“She can’t use her magic unless it’s to protect your mum.”“Dad, I know what I saw. Ask Ivy, she will confirm that she saw it too.”“You’re telling me that you think Daphne is capable of using her magic at all times. Are you certain?”He nods his head at me. “Something has
LilahHe stares at me with those cobalt blue eyes. He knew I wasn’t backing down on this. I needed to speak to Daphne, I needed her to understand that it was okay to be angry. That it wasn’t anyone’s fault other than Knox’s and Colt had made sure that he wouldn’t be any more trouble.“You’re not going to let this go until I agree, are you?” He mutters, scratching his chin stubble.“No.” I shake my head at him. “I made that mistake before. But now, she needs me more than ever. Colt, you know me. I could have just ran off after her, but I didn’t. I needed time to think. I needed time to understand what she is feeling. She needs a friend. She needs her sister.”“I can go.” He insists.“If she really is capable of using her magic without me being in danger. You are the last person she wants to see.”“At least I can protect myself.” He glances down at my stomach“We don’t know yet and it’s too early for me to test! So let me go to her!”He rolls his eyes at me. “One condition.”“Anything.”
Alpha Colt“What are you saying Colt?”“I saw him move.”“Colt, your mind is just playing tricks on you. You loved him like a brother, just like Callie did. But he’s gone, Colt. He isn’t coming back.”“Maybe he is.” I was certain I had seen him move. Not much, just a twitch.She shakes her head at me. “I’ve seen him, Colt, I know that you stabbed him in the heart with a knife. No one can survive that.”“But…”“Colt, you are sleep deprived. It’s been days since you’ve actually slept for more than an hour. This is just your mind playing tricks on you.”I look into her pleading eyes. “Maybe you’re right.”“I know I am.”“But I can’t help thinking, what if….”“There are no what if’s, Colt. He has gone.”I knew she was trying to make me see sense, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that Callie was right. That he had moved. I was certain I had seen his hand twitch.Lilah wraps her arms around me, hugging me tightly as we lie back down. Flicking the light off, I pretend to be asleep, letting o
AidenI tried to stop mum from going in. I tried telling her that Dad was busy, but she just gave me that look. The one that said she would beat my arse if I tried to stop her. Ivy tugged me out the way as she tucked her curls behind her ears.Even when we hear her scream, Ivy’s fingers stay glued to mine, holding me in place.“She needs to see it.”I look into her brilliant blue eyes as she smiles at me. “How do you know so much?”“How do you not?” She laughs, shaking out her mane of curls. “The moment I understood that I was different, I left to find others like me.”“You left? Left where?”“The pack I was in. White Star.”I hadn’t ever heard of it, but then my family didn’t really talk about other packs.“The Alpha was here, for your parents' ceremony.” She adds, her eyes not quite meeting mine.“What about your parents?”“I was hoping you wouldn’t ask about them.”“They must be worried, mum hates it if I’m anywhere but in the pack.”She sucks in her cheeks. “Mum died giving birth
LincAs expected, Alpha Colt tried to make me stay. It was weird, not feeling that pull of an order. Or the pain when I tried to break it. I could see that it was annoying him.I had walked out that front door like nothing could stop me. For a moment, I froze, not because of Alpha Colt, but because of the sun. But it does nothing, other than warm my skin.As Lycans, we didn’t tend to mix with vampires, so I wasn’t even sure what I was truly capable of other than my desire to drink blood.Making my way to the gates, the guards just stare at me, because I was supposed to be dead.“Linc?” One asks, though I could hear the slight wobble in his voice“Yes.”“You are supposed to be dead?”“I am. Now open the gates.”He stares at me for a little longer. “Where are you going?”“I have a job to do.”He turns to look at the other guards and they shrug their shoulders. All of their hearts were racing.“Alpha Colt knows?” The guard asks.“Yes. Now are you going to open the gates or am I going to
