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.
Daphne “So I am a witch, but I can only use my magic if it is protecting Lilah?” “It seems that way. Yes.” Alpha Colt seems extremely happy that he figured it out. “But….” “You were born to protect her. Just like the writing on the photo said.” “I love Lilah, she is the best thing to have come into my life, but don’t you think that sounds ridiculous?” He glances at Linc “Daphne, I think this is great. We know why your magic only works when you don’t expect it too.” Linc tries to make me feel better, but frankly, I was annoyed. “So let me get this right. I’m half wolf, but the only wolf ability I seem to have is to be able to heal. And…” “And the need to jump head first into things.” Linc mutters, making me glare at him. “And I’m only half witch and my magic can only be used to protect Lilah. What kind of fucked up deal did I get?!” “You growled, that’s like a wolf.” Linc is half smiling. “That isn’t funny, Lincoln.” The smile disappears when I call him by his first name “
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
