Alpha ColtIt was hours before Lilah started making any sense. She would mutter words at barely a whisper. Eventually, her words became sentences. And even though she was asleep. I could finally work out what had happened to her.Her face screwed up more times than I could keep track of. Even my company wasn’t comforting her anymore. It seemed that she was trapped in a cycle of nightmares. Replaying one after the other.The Lycans come and go, but Drake was the one who surprised me. He appeared alongside his brother Grant. Drake’s head was hanging, just like every other time I had seen him.“This is my fault, Alpha Colt. Take my life!” His eyes were still on the floor. He couldn’t even bring himself to look at me.“You agree with this?” I asked Grant. It wasn’t common for someone to request that I end their life. Well, not like this anyway. Most mutter it in their final words. Like I would somehow stop what I was doing. That their demand would make me save them. It never worked. “We
LilahI was weak. There wasn’t anything else to describe it. I could barely lift my head off the pillow and only just manage to open my eyes a little.My favourite story was being read to me by another female. Her voice is soft as she carefully reads each word aloud.It takes me a few minutes to realise that it’s Callie. She briefly looks up at me and smiles. She doesn’t speak to me and goes straight back to reading me the story.“Colt…” I croakily mumble. I didn’t sound anything like myself.“He will be up in a minute.” She tells me, “I’ve already linked him to let him know.”“Where. Is. He?” I was so raspy.“He will be here in just a moment. Just rest.”He said he wasn’t going to leave. He promised that he would stay with me. “Where?”She drops the book on to the chair as she stands. “Lilah, you are safe.”“Get the fuck away from me!” I cough up the words. My body wouldn’t even allow me to sit up. I just laid there, my body failing me.“Lilah, Alpha Colt is coming, he asked me to wa
Alpha ColtHer hand slips into mine. Carefully she steps into the hot water. She lets out a hiss as her foot touches it.“Too hot.” She mutters through clenched teeth.“It will be good for the aches and pains.” Normally, I would recommend an ice bath. But these were not aches and pains from over training.She lowers her body into the water, continuing to hiss as the water covers her. She sits between my thighs. Her hands using my knees as a support as she makes herself comfortable.I try to keep my hands to myself. Every part of me was desperate to touch her. Every part of me ached to be inside her and have her legs wrapped around me. But I had to play this carefully, she was finally turning a corner. She wasn't fighting me anymore.To my surprise, she leans herself back against me. Her head rests on my shoulder, her back pressed against my chest.I could see how the water made her breasts bob a little. Her nipples were rock hard. “Lilah?” I mutter, trying to clear the dirty thoughts
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
