Alpha ColtIt was the only thing that was making sense. If Linc had rejected her too, Daphne would have felt more pain. If he had accepted, then the mark on her neck should have faded away. As much as I was happy that he still had a chance. I was pissed with the information that he had told Daphne. It was supposed to stay buried, but then so was Kaitlin.“What should I do?” Linc asks, but I was too busy thinking to answer him. I was going to have to tell Lilah. All I could hope for is that she would understand why.“Do what you want Linc. Make sure Daphne keeps her mouth shut until at least I have spoken to Lilah.”“You’re going to tell her?”“I have no choice, you have forced me too.”He nods his head at me. “It won’t go down well.”“Don’t you think I already know that?!”He pauses for a second and tells me that he is going to take Kaitlin away.“I’ve already told you she needs to wait until she has had the pup.” I mutter“She doesn’t feel safe here. Maybe I can take her to another L
LilahI could hear him. I could hear every single word that was coming out of his mouth, but I was speechless. Usually I had an answer for everything, but not this time.Betrayed. Sad, Angry. Annoyed. I felt them all. It was worse than when he claim clean about his relationship with Kaitlin.Colt’s hand keeps waving in front of my face. His fingers clicked, he called my name, trying to snap me out of this trance I had fallen in.“Me?” I mutter after what felt like forever. “You stopped because of me?”“Yes.”“If I had never chosen you, would you have stopped?” I was trying to make sense of it. Trying to get answers for the gaps in his story.It’s his turn to be quiet. He sits back on his heels, crouched in front of me. His bright cobalt blue eyes pleading with me.“When my father died, yes.”“If my parents hadn't plotted against him. He would still be alive.” It just didn't sound right. What if everything had been different?“But he isn’t Lilah and I haven’t killed any half-breeds for
Alpha Colt Lilah was sobbing in between screams as I ran her across to the pack hospital. Either begging me to make it stop, or threatening me for putting a pup in her. Her breath quickens and her heart races as I burst in through the hospital doors. The doctors and nurses stare at me stunned. “Help her!” They frantically rush around. Pulling on aprons and gloves as I put Lilah on a bed. “She shouldn’t be having this pup yet.” The doctor tells me over Lilah’s screams. “I know. Why is it happening?” Even as a wolf, Lilah was barely half way through her pregnancy. Another nurse runs an ultrasound doppler over her stomach. “It can’t be,” She mutters. “What? What is it?” “The pup. It’s reached its full gestation.” “Give me that.” The doctor pulls the doppler from the nurse and runs it over Lilah’s stomach. Her eyes are wide with confusion as she looks to me for help, before she starts screaming again. “She’s right. This pup is coming and it isn’t hanging about.” It all happene
Linc What was I seeing? She looked possessed. The mother of my unborn pup is still. Her chocolate hair blowing in the wind. But her eyes, it was like they had rolled into the back of her head and all I could see were the whites. She looks like she is standing on the tips of her toes as she focusses on the sky. What the fuck was happening to her. As I called her name. The Alpha turns to look. His head flicking between Daphne and Kaitlin. Was Daphne the one stopping Kaitlin from using witchcraft? If so, that would make Daphne a witch too. How? As Kaitlins hands hit the ground again. She screams as ropes appear locking Kaitlin against the grass, almost as if her own magic was working against her. Still, Daphne hasn’t moved. The guards that had surrounded Kaitlin disintegrate, just as they had in Alpha Colt’s bedroom. Turning to dust and floating away in the wind. Kaitlin was all alone and pinned to the ground. Screaming out words in another language. But no matter what, her witchcra
LilahI stared into the grey eyes of my son. His gaze lingers on me as he falls asleep after his feed. I was certain he was already bigger. He just didn’t seem to fit in my arms the same way and yet he was only hours old.“He won’t speak to me!” Colt snaps as he barges into my hospital room. His voice makes our son jump awake. Instantly he starts crying and Colt begins apologising. Latching my son back to my breast helps him drop off to sleep again.“I assume you are talking about Linc?”“She is a witch, Lilah. A fucking witch.”“And?”“She is bad news.”“She saved your ass.”He glares at me“Yeah, I know. Linc told me what happened.”“So he will speak to you but not his own King?”“Maybe because you are being a dick about it.” I growl at him. “Daphne is unconscious in a bed down the hall. Her mate is worried sick about her. When I was cut open, when I was poisoned, did he ever stop you from seeing me.”He clenches his jaw frowning at me. “There’s a difference. We were mated and I was
Alpha ColtWhen Lilah arrives back, she comes back empty handed. As expected, she went to see Linc. I could smell his scent on her, she wouldn't be able to deny it.“You lied to me!” I was careful to keep my tone light so that I didn’t disturb Aiden and make him cry.“No!”“Lilah, don’t lie to me.”“I’m not, I went to see Daphne.”“And?”“She swears that she can’t remember anything.”“More lies.”“No. She genuinely can’t remember anything after you telling us to stay in the hospital. You want answers but Daphne can’t give you them. No one can!” She leans down to swoop up our son who is busy rolling around on the floor“When can I question her?”“Not yet. Colt, she lost the pup.”“She lost it?” I had to be very careful with the next few words that come out of my mouth. I knew Lilah still hadn’t gotten over losing the other pups. “I thought the pup was okay?”“The doctors can’t explain it. The heartbeat just stopped.” There’s a flash of sorrow in her eyes. A sadness for herself and for
Linc I had said everything that I needed to say to the King. I couldn’t reason with him anymore. It would be his decision now, but one way or another I knew I would need to protect Daphne with my life. Stepping out into the afternoon sun, I feel its warmth on my skin. I finally was getting a moment to breathe. A moment to clear my head. I smile as I watch Lilah dive around. It had been a long time since I had seen Lilah’s raven wolf. I had almost been certain that I would never see it again. Not after her teeth were removed. But here she was, charging around the grass on all fours with a tiny grey pup chasing after her. Other Lycan’s were watching too. Maybe it was strange to them, to see someone else not giving a single care. Or maybe they were confused by their future Queen and the small wolf pup. She comes to a halt in front of me. The little grey pup crashes into my leg and lets out a little squeak. As I bend to pick him up, He tries to growl at me and I couldn’t help but laug
Daphne“What?” Lilah and I ask, both of us were in complete shock by his announcement.“You share the same father.” Linc repeated the words but it still didn’t make any sense. How could it be that Lilah and I were sisters?“Callie will be back soon enough. She will explain what she knows. Or at least I hope she will becuase none of it is making sense to me either."“Callie went to my mum’s house?” I ask, wondering how she had found out so quickly.He nods his head at me. “Yes.” His honey eyes stay locked on mine. “I know it’s a big shock. Trust me, I was just as surprised as you. But actually, you being sisters, even half sisters, makes so much sense.”Lilah hadn’t spoken. She is staring at Linc with wide grey eyes. It was always funny seeing Lilah speechless. It didn’t happen often, but when it did, it always amused me. If it wasn’t for the serious conversation. I think I would be laughing.“So that’s how I’m part wolf?” I mutter, “Because Lilah’s Dad was a wolf?”He nods his head at
