Hey everyone. hope you are all well and enjoying the story. There won't be an update tomorrow 18th April, but will be back on the 19th. Has anyone figured out who might have given Aiden the mark? P.S, it's a character you have met already.
Alpha Colt The silence is deafening. And I find myself trying to read Lilah’s mind. She was fighting with her own thoughts. Trying to figure out where she stands. A mothers love and the need to keep him safe or to let him go. Hopefully, we could figure out who is behind controlling Aiden before it was too late. No one knows what to say to her. Daphne turns to Linc, expecting him to say something reassuring but we both knew that there was nothing else that could be said. We both knew it was a harsh reality. With the way Aiden was growing and how his strength was already more powerful than mine, we could be in for some real trouble. Something that I plan on stopping before its too late. Lilah gives me a weak smile. A smile that was false as she continued to fight with her inner thoughts of what she should and shouldn’t do. Her arms wrap around my waist as she rests her cheek against my chest. “Go get some sleep.” I mutter in her ear “I can’t” “You need to try, Lilah. Fretting o
Daphne“What do you think they are talking about?” I ask Callie as I stare out of the window.“Who?”“Alpha Knox and Alpha Colt.” I continue to watch as the men awkwardly shake hands before heading in seperate directions.“Hopefully he is calling Alpha Knox a twat.”“I doubt it. Alpha Colt is probably trying to keep him close. He told me before that it was always best to keep them close so that he could keep an eye on them.” After all, that was why he had brought me back to the pack.“Let’s hope for everyone's sake that you are right. Let's also hope that Alpha Knox is just a creep.” She sighs “And nothing more. Lilah could do with a break from all these arseholes. We all could.”“Is it always like this? I’ve only been here a little while and it always seems that something is going on.”She shakes out her blonde curls. “No, until Lilah, we led a relatively chilled life.”“Chilled?”“Not quite the same as humans, but yes. The threats that arose were knocked out early. But we also never
LincIt hadn’t taken me long to pick up his scent. What was worse is that his scent was already mixed with the smell of death and I was surprised none of the guards had picked up on it.Following the scent, I head deep into the forest. To the place where the trees grow tall and hardly any sunlight breaks through.There Grant was, hanging by his neck from the branch of a tree. His neck was already broken as the noose sat tightly around his throat. His green eyes wide and bloodshot as they bulged from his skull.“Alpha Colt.” I called him through mindlink.“This doesn’t sound good.” He mutters back.“It’s not.”He pauses briefly. “Grant?”“Yes. How did you know?”“Callie broke down in front of Daphne. Is he…?”“Dead.” I mutter, walking around his body.“Are you sure?”I look up at Grant’s hanging body and then down to the cavity in his chest. “They hung him and took his heart.”“What?”I repeat what I had just told him as I start climbing the tree to cut his body down.“Where are you?”
Alpha ColtCallie. Of all the people out there, I never expected it to be Callie that would try and screw me over. She was like a little sister to me. She had always looked out for Lilah. What had changed?“Shit!”“What’s wrong?” Daphne asks me“Callie is in the packhouse with Lilah.”“She’s fine, I would know if something is wrong. You would too.” she calmly tells me.“Callie wouldn’t do this!” Linc pleads with me“Finding your mate does funny things to you." I tell him. "You will find it hard to decide where your loyalties lie. Daphne isn't saying this to hurt you, she is sharing important information."But...."I shake my head at him. We had to accept that this was a very real possibility. That Callie may have turned against the pack.It was only a couple of days ago when we realised that no one had really seen her or Grant. It was like they had both vanished into thin air, only to show up together and with Callie marked. Her mark had looked so familiar, but I just couldn’t figure
DaphneCallie stares into my eyes exactly the way my sister used to. A hint of amusement hiding behind them. How was it even possible? I always thought that the witch gene had missed my sister. My grandmother never gave me any clue that Sophie was like us.“I am not stupid!” I snap back at her.A laugh escapes Callie. It sounded strange. It was Sophie’s laugh but in Callie’s tone.“You always have been the stupid one. To stupid to see what was right in front of you. Did you really think I was going to let a stupid Lycan kill me? Absolutely no fucking way. Worst of all, this one.” She looks down at herself.“Grant… That was you?”“With the help of this body?”“How? Why? You were mated to him. It doesn’t make any sense. He thought… How could he be mated to Callie if he was mated to you?” “With a little witch’s spell.” She mutters with a smile spreading across her face.Aiden was watching us carefully. His grey eyes shining bright in the darkness. He was linking someone. Sophie had abso
Alpha Colt“Is that wise? Given what you and Callie both said, do you really think it's a good idea?” I was not keen on the idea of her being alone with Knox, even if I didn't know what his intentions were.“I will take Linc.” She smiles at him but he looked less than pleased with the idea.“Don’t do it!” Callie warns her again and I feel like there is something else she isn’t telling me. But now it was going to be hard to know if she was telling me the truth. Or whether it is Sophie controlling her.“I am the King, I will escort you.” I tell Daphne and she nods her head in agreement.“Probably for the best.” Linc muttersI turn to Callie, pointing to the empty cell, “This is for the best too.”She flashes her honey eyes at me, her nostrils flare a little but she still makes her way into the cell. I had made sure that she was separated from Aiden, leaving a cell free between the both of them.“It’s better safe than sorry.” Aiden tells her. “That way we can’t hurt them.” He eyes her ca
Lilah“She wants my son?” I had been called down to the office by Colt. They wasted no time in telling me what was happening. How long had I been asleep? I didn't think it had been that long.Daphne nods her head at me, “It’s the only thing that makes sense.”“The only thing? How is Sophie even alive? I thought Callie killed her?”“A spell.” Daphne mutters “Callie swears she buried her. She swears that she slit Sophie’s throat.”“So you are both witches?” I splutter. Because she she had been certain that the witch gene had missed her sister.“I’m a true born. Sophie is what grandma called a false witch. A witch that relies on spells and other gimmicks to get what she wants.” She rolls her eyes.“And she wants my son?” It didn’t seem real. I knew Aiden hadn’t been himself when he attacked, but still, why would a witch want him.“Because no one knows what he is capable of.” Colt is staring at me. He had read my mind and if I wasn’t so worried about Aiden, I would be shouting at Colt r
Alpha ColtAs we head down into the dungeons, I could hear Callie demanding to be listened too. The guards weren’t wrong when they said she was restless.“Callie, will you just shut up.” Aiden snaps at her.“Like you can tell me what to do. You’re just a baby.”“Do I look like a baby to you? You have been marked exactly like I have. Dad is just doing what’s right. Aren’t you dad?”I step on to the stone floor with Lilah’s hand laced with mine. Aiden’s eyes flashed past me and to hers and Callie groans.“You shouldn’t have brought her.” Aiden turns his back on us and retreats to the very back of his cell.“You are my son. I wanted to see you.” Lilah lets go of my hand and moves in front of his cell. She eagerly peers in, but Aiden keeps his distance. Refusing to move or speak.“Aiden, you can’t hurt her.” I try to reassure him"Pfft!" Callie mutters"And you are not helping."“Sophie can. What if she takes control of me and makes me hurt her?”“Sophie doesn’t want Lilah.” I tell him“T
