Alpha Colt.“Why don’t you ladies go grab something to eat. I need to speak to Grant.” I try and offer a smile but Lilah wasn't buying it. Instead she frowns at me. She never liked it when I said I needed to speak to someone. I had no doubt that she would question me later.“You better be nice to him.” She mutters through our mindlink as she walks away.“Only if he is telling the truth.”She flicks her long raven hair over her shoulder and scowls. “What is that supposed to mean?”“I will explain later.”Grant watches them walk away as well. “You let her come here but you wouldn’t let Sophie?”“It was the only way I could get Lilah to come back.”“Why?”“For some reason Lilah likes her. They get along so well. She actually doesn’t seem to force the friendship not like she did with that other girl, Halle. Halle was a friend, but not in the same way as these are.”“I don’t trust her.”“You don’t have too. But you need to play nice. She is Lilah’s friend. She is Linc’s… Well I don’t know
Lilah “Are you sure that you have never met him?” I ask for the tenth time. Daphne groans into the table. She had been resting her forehead on the wood since she sat down. “I swear. Sophie would never let anyone meet him. He was this huge secret. Obviously I know why now. But she would tell us things and then when questioned. She would shut us down.” “Who is ‘us’?” “Mum, Dad and me. If we started asking questions first, she would lose her shit. It would always have to be on her terms. Still, they couldn’t see how vile she was. Do you think they know? Would Alpha Colt have sent them a message or something?” “I haven’t asked, but something tells me he would. They would only start a missing person's claim otherwise. Do you miss them?” She finally lifts her head and shakes it a little. “They made my life hell in the final few years.” “Your mum, she’s not a wolf?” “No…Well nothing suggested she was. It means my dad isn’t my real dad. It’s like one surprise after another since comin
DaphneThey were freaking me out. Staring at me like I held all the answers. “There are more like me?” I mumble and Lilah beams at me.“It would seem that way. Callie, did you get a chance to find out about Daphne’s past?”Callie shakes her head. “No. That was when I found out about the bloodline. I’ve been a bit busy since.”“You were going to do some digging on me? Lilah, you could have just asked, you know that I don’t have a problem with telling you.”“We need to know who your father is. Maybe he knows more about people that are mixed breeds, you know, seeing as he fathered one.” Lilah mutters“Do we have too? I’m not really bothered about him. He didn’t raise me.”“Don’t you want to know if your birth father is still alive?” Callie asks surprised.“Do you think he cared to stay in my life?”“Maybe he didn’t know.” Lilah suggests. “It’s not like anyone is going to go around saying that they had sex with a human is it?”I hear a stifled laugh come from Callie. She turns away as I
Linc“I’m serious Daphne. If you want our bond to be fixed, you will keep your mouth shut. You won’t say anything to Lilah about what I have just told you.” I had fucked up by telling her. Yet at the same time, I felt like I had to tell her.She glares at me as she presses her lips into a thin line. Her arms fold across her chest, pushing her rounding belly out a little further. “You can’t be serious? She deserves to know.”“He has changed. He does not do it anymore. He stopped when he realised what Lilah was. We haven’t come across any half-breeds not until now and we have travelled the world chasing Lilah.”“But he still killed thousands. You know he threatened your pup!” She snaps at me“He wouldn’t”“Why would I bother lying about something like that? He has an evil side and you just can’t see it.” She drops her gaze, frowning into her lap and sighs. “None of you make anything easy, do you?”“Our way is straight forward.”“What, the constant lies? The secrets? You may think that,
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
