Max's POV

After we eat French toast with bacon and berries, we move out onto the veranda and settle onto the sofas and chairs there. The view is stunning, sunlight reflecting off the water, a warm breeze rustling the trees and rippling the surface of the lake. Other than that, the only sound is the distant roar of the waterfall further up the valley.

It’s peaceful enough that I feel myself relaxing, and I can almost feel the other two relaxing beside me as we settle into the cushions. Zahra is

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 637

    Xander's POVZach moves to the other side of the bed to help the nurses, while I keep my palm pressed firmly against Max's chest.The sparks continue beneath my hand, impossible to ignore now I've noticed them, every tiny movement of his body sending another warm current through my skin.I can't pull away. Not yet. The second I stop holding him down, the stubborn bastard will probably try to get up again and tear his fucking stomach open completely.At least that's what I tell myself.Because there's another reason, I don't want to move my hand, and I'm not fucking ready to examine that one too closely.“Max,” I say, infusing some of my Alpha tone into my voice to get him to pay attention. “It's okay. Zahra's safe. She'll be here in a second. We know about the rogues.”At the word rogues, his entire body tenses beneath my hand. His eyes widen, panic cutting through some of the delirium, and then he starts fighting harder.“No, you don't understand. You have to protect her. They're com

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 636

    Xander's POVMy arms are trembling as I place Max carefully down on the examination table inside the treatment room the nurse showed us into.At first, I think it's because he's so heavy, but once I step back, I realise my entire body is shaking. I clench my fists, trying to make the fucking shaking stop. It doesn't. Fuck, I need to pull myself together. I'm furious with him. I'm an Alpha. I shouldn't be reacting like a frightened pup.Zach moves beside me, his face grim as we both look down at him. His eyes are half closed, the whites showing, and his face is pale. So fucking pale. The wound on his stomach is trying to heal. I can see the edges are already closer than they were before, but he's still bleeding profusely. The stench of rogues and gore is overwhelming now we're no longer outside, and I try really fucking hard not to gag.“What do you think happened to him? Did he have to run through an advance party or something?” Zach asks under his breath as the doctor starts barking

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 635

    Zahra's POVWe hurry towards the medical centre, Tobias and Lincoln behind us, along with the units. Mercifully, the pack doctor is at the doors when we arrive, along with two nurses, and Xander and Zach carry Max inside without stopping.I watch them disappear through the doors with him, and every part of me screams to follow.I need to be with him. I need to know he's all right. I can't lose him like this, no matter what comes afterwards.And that thought pulls me up short.I can't lose him.Because despite everything, despite him leaving and the weeks I've spent trying to convince myself that I could live without him if that's what he wanted, I still fucking love him.The realisation hurts almost as much as watching him collapse did.I'm still furious with him. He still broke my fucking heart. I still don't know what happens between us when he wakes up or whether him coming back changes anything at all.But I love him.Fuck.Zanthe is practically clawing at me to follow him through

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 634

    Zahra's POVAs I pull away from Elliot, I hear the first scream.Every head snaps towards the sound, and the entire mood changes in a fucking second. Elliot releases me, my mates move closer, and the warriors around us are already turning towards the disturbance when a mind link slams into the pack link.‘Rogues! Rogues attacking from the south-east!’Lincoln growls.“Shit. They're here,” I say.The screaming gets louder as more and more people start to run away from the attacking rogues.Lincoln's hand clamps around mine, and we take off running. Several of the Task Force warriors around us shift and sprint off in wolf form towards the disturbance. We've already discussed that I'm not to shift unless it's absolutely necessary, and it appears my mates are going to stick to that as well. We run together, their units with us.Zanthe is agitated, pacing inside my head. She wants out badly enough that I can feel her pushing against my skin, but I can't let her White Wolf be seen unless we

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 633

    Zahra's POVThe second we step outside, I stop.Fuck.Seeing it from upstairs was one thing, but standing in the middle of it is something else entirely.The car park is full, people milling around vehicles, and the road up to the pack house and back into the town is bumper to bumper with cars. People are still tying bags and boxes to roof racks, children are being squeezed into already packed back seats, and a couple of elderly wolves are being helped into waiting vehicles. Warriors move between the cars, directing people and checking everyone is where they're supposed to be while engines rumble all around us.Edwardo is at the bottom of the pack house steps, talking to a few warriors. His army are going to cover our retreat, along with the Blood Moon warriors. They'll travel with us for part of the journey, hopefully providing enough protection from the rogues. Once we've put enough distance between ourselves and Shadow, and they're satisfied we're not being followed, they'll turn a

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 632

    Zahra's POVThe trembling has finally stopped, but now I just feel wrung out. Emotionally and physically, I feel like an empty fucking husk. I'm exhausted. I slowly trail my fingers through the warm water as I stare at my knees.What the fuck was he doing here? What has Edwardo done with him now? I can't believe that, in the midst of all this nightmare, fucking Eli turned back up. I've barely thought about him in weeks.Of all the fucking days he could crawl back into my life, it had to be today, when we're already trying to evacuate an entire pack before an army gets here. I don't have time for him. I don't have time to be sitting in a fucking bath trying to pull myself back together because he managed to make me feel like that terrified girl again.The guys brought me back upstairs as soon as Edwardo had him dragged out, and they've spent precious time comforting me instead of packing and planning. If anything could make me feel worse, it's that.I know they chose to stay with me. I
