LilahThere was something he wasn’t telling me. I thought at first that it might have something to do with the blonde. But I watch as his blue eyes glaze over, he frowns. “What is it?” I ask“Drake has disappeared.” He mutters, his teeth clenched.“You think he has gone to find her?”“If he has, he has just granted himself his own death.” Colt squeezes my hand a little and gives me a wink. “Come on, let me introduce you to my uncle.”"You don't want to look for him.""No. I'm going to stay right here with you."He leads me the rest of the way down the staircase. Turning us in the same direction as where the blonde went. There was already a lot of noise coming from the end of the hallway. I find myself tensing up at the sound. It seemed like every little thing had me on edge lately.“Magnus likes to throw a welcoming party.” Colt tells. “Don’t worry, I will be right at your side.”“Why?” It wasn’t really a question that I wanted answering. But the word tumbled from my mouth anyway.“H
Alpha ColtSleep takes Lilah before I get a chance to say anything. Her demand almost makes me smile. Yet the demand seemed so out of place for her.I lay right next to her for the next few hours. Listening to the gentle, content snores coming from next to me. I wanted to stay with her all night. I wanted to watch her sleep but I still had the problem with Drake.Quietly I move myself away from Lilah. Being careful not to disturb the bed too much. Her body flips over and she uses her arms to pull the pillow into her. As I waited for Callie to arrive, I continued to watch my mate. I had vowed to protect her, yet, I was failing. It didn’t matter if they were coming after her or me. I would make sure that nothing else would touch her. I knew right then and there that I was willing to die for her.I open the bedroom door before Callie gets a chance to knock. “Are you sure you are okay with this?”“Yes. It’s fine. I think she just caught me off guard. You know, I wasn’t expecting her to s
Alpha Colt“Me? What the hell have I done?” Callie demands. “It’s not because of something you have done. It’s because you can get close enough to Lilah. It means that Snare has been watching us. She is doing exactly what she did at White Crescent. She is playing every single one of us.”“So what are we going to do?”“I know it's a big ask Callie, but I need you to stay inside the packhouse. If she is posing as you, we will find her. I am not going to let her get her fucking hands on you or my mate.”“I won’t be able to go to Drake’s funeral?”“No.”“Not even outside for some fresh air?”“No Callie. I mean it when I say you need to stay here. Linc will go on a rampage if something happens to you. At this point, I don’t know what else Snare is capable of. She killed her own mate, something that is unheard of.”“You want me to watch Lilah?”I had thought about it. I thought that maybe it would be the best option. But I wasn’t prepared to let Lilah be tricked by Snare again.“No, you ca
Lilah.I already knew that I had overreacted. There was just something inside of me that hated knowing that he had been with another woman. I knew he wasn’t a virgin. But there was a difference between a one night stand and shacking up with someone for two years. Especially when he had been tracking me too.“They’re just words.” I mutter back when he tells me that he wants me. It felt that he had been trying so hard to make me trust him and yet he failed to tell me about something as important as this. “You’re only telling me because she is here.”The tears had stopped. The sadness had been replaced with an emptiness.“I didn’t think it was important. I honestly never thought that I would see Kaitlin again.” He tried reaching for my hand again, but I didn’t want him to touch me, not until I had a clear head.The annoying thing is, I knew that deep down, he was right. Even if he had found me when I was younger, it wasn’t like we could of had a relationship. He was eight years older tha
LilahI couldn’t bring myself to talk to Colt. Not about any of it. Several days passed and we saw very little of each other. He would still sleep in the bed next to me, but mostly, he was gone by the time I woke up. I only knew he had slept there because of his scent.The day after Kaitlin made her announcement. He tried apologising, over and over. But I just felt empty. I couldn’t even cry, even when I tried. I don’t know what it was, maybe I was in shock?Colt told me he would give me some space. The only request he had was that I had to stay in the house because Snare was still out there.Anytime someone walked by me, they would give me a look of pity. News had travelled fast and everyone knew that the King had bastard children. Children that weren’t mine. Children that connected him to Kaitlin.I still hadn’t heard from Linc. In fact, I hadn’t seen him since the night I had shown him the photo. There was no way that I was going to bring it up with Colt. I just had to hope that Li
Alpha Colt“Kaitlin. It is in black and white. The twins are not mine.”“They have to be. I didn’t sleep with anyone else!”“You must have done. It is the only explanation. How else would they be a hundred percent match to you?” On so many levels, I felt relieved. I wouldn’t have to find a way to fit the boys and Lilah into my life.“Colt, they are yours. You saw them, you looked at them, they both have blue eyes, exactly like yours..” Kaitlin wails at me.“Magnus has the same fucking eye colour as me. And so do a lot of other Lycans and wolves. It proves nothing.”“Colt, please, these results, they have to be wrong.”“Did you touch them?” I ask Linc. He was the only one that had carried the envelope.“No. The results were not for me.” He held eye contact so I knew that he was telling me the truth. Linc wouldn’t lie to me.I turn back to Kaitlin. “Take them away. I don’t want them here.”“But they are yours, Colt. They can’t be anyone else’s, it is impossible. You cannot deny them fro
LilahI don’t say anything to Callie. I couldn’t tell her that I thought Linc had faked the results. It had to be the only reason he was looking at me that way. I should have been happy. Colt believed it. But what if it was another lie? “You must be happy?” She asks as she hands me a glass of lemonade.“That he is not the father? Well, yeah.” I mutter. “But you are still hung up over the Kaitlin issue?”“He dated her for two years.”“It’s not exactly the first stupid thing he has done.”“There are others he has knocked up?”“No, that’s not what I mean. He wasn’t always like this, the tough exterior. He used to be a bit of a goof. His dad was always on his case because of some of the shit that we would get up too.”“Like what?” Colt didn’t speak much of his past, but it was the same for me.She raises an eyebrow at me. “You really want to hear how dumb men can be?”I shrug my shoulders, because anything was better than thinking about this lie.“We were about fourteen when we bunked o
LilahLinc tries to stop me moving any further. Just like the others, he had been forced to his knees. Struggling to breathe and finding it nearly impossible to speak. His honey eyes search mine. They had a slight glaze to them, maybe he was trying to mindlink me. But it wouldn’t work. Until I could mark Colt I wouldn’t be able to link any of the pack and marking Colt couldn’t happen. Not since my canines had been ripped out. I wasn’t one of them. I was a wolf.“I have to do this.” I tell Linc and he shakes his head at me. His hand grasps at his throat as he tries to speak.“Go back.” He chokes out the words.“You go back.” I mutter, casting my eyes over the other Lycans. Some had already crawled away from the smokey fog. They sit leaning against the trees, sucking in the oxygen, trying to steady their own breathing.Linc tugs on my hand and shakes his head. “I have to do this, Linc. Colt is your King. I am just a wolf!” Pushing his hand away, I run straight into the smoke.The smoke
