He was in her head like a plague. No matter what she didn she couldn't get him out of her mind.Ever since yesterday at the tree Delilah had been feeling queasy inside, a sensation she was finding more and more difficult to explain.When she remembered how he touched her to find the wolf connection her cheeks immediately lit up in embarrassment.That funny feeling back in the woods she had been avoiding giving the answer to, it, avoiding putting a finger on it and actually calling it for what it was even though she knew what it meant.No, no, she didn't want to think about it. She couldn't think about it, it wasn't impossible.The moon goddess made Liam her mate. It couldn't be possible that the goddess had made a mistake.Did gods make such careless mistakes?Mates were supposed to love each other, it was a bond etched into their subconscious. To love, care and protect their other half.Yet she had never felt that way with Liam, even though she had been excited in the beginning to
Fuck, fuck, fuck. He'd messed up even after he told himself he wouldn't. He still went ahead and fucked up.Way to go Kai.It was taking him a lot of self control from roaring in anger. Instead Kai took steady breaths to calm himself, not that it was working.His wolf was adding to his anger and the more he tried to sate it, the more Osiris added to the fuel.There was no way, there was no way she could be his mate. It wasn't possible, he wouldn't allow it.Kai had vowed he would never let a woman worm her way into his head again. Rose was the last and never again was he going to succumb to their charms.Yet Delillah was doing the exact opposite of what he wanted. Kai didn't like it, he didn't like it one bit.This wasn't how things were supposed to turn out. As soon as he saved Delillah as soon as she recovered he knew he should have sent her on her way.He had come so close, so close to kissing her it had taken him a lot of willpower to resist it, a lot of willpower to back away lik
The voice at the other end of the line was vaguely familiar but Kai wasn't sure if it was still a prank call or not."Who is this and why do you need my help?""It's me Brian.""Brian,?" the name didn't strike a chord with him."Three years ago the elder that saved you back in your trial for the death of Alpha Ross."Kai was up on his feet in a split second memories suddenly gunning into his head like a wave."Brian? What's wrong, what's happening?""They have us surrounded and they…they are going to kill my daughter."Kai had never heard such amount of fear pour off the other end of a phone call before but he could feel the immense terror coming from this man."Brian I need you to calm down and I need you to explain to me what is going on."This was his first time hearing an elder afraid and it bugged him. They were the higher order after the Alpha and Luna in any pack and now hearing Brian beg for help like a little child who wanted ice cream wasn't reassuring.What kind of danger
When Delilah opened her eyes the first thing she noticed was the semi darkness of the room. Lazily stretching herself on the bed, she peered outside the window to see it was fast going dark.There was a slight stab of pain in her forehead as she stood up from the bed and rubbed at her face. She couldn't believe she had cried herself to sleep.Taking a deep breath she sighed. Her heart felt very heavy and in her mind images of Kai walking away from her kept flashing in her head.Yet again she had allowed herself to lower her defences around this man and yet again Kai had acted like the real jerk he was.Delilah felt anger swell in her heart but it dissipated quickly. There was no need to feel bad, she didn't love him, nothing long term was ever going to happen between the two of them.A strange sense of excitement filled her at the prospect of finally meeting her wolf. If Kai had been right to say that something had happened to her, some sort of trauma that made her wolf dormant all t
When Delillah opened her eyes the first thing she noticed was the tight feeling on her hands and legs.There was a dull throbbing in her head and as she tried to move her body she felt paralysed. Weakly she opened her eyes to take stock of her environment.She was still in the den but her position had changed, she could vaguely remember that Liam had smashed something on her head. Turning her head to the side which hurt like a bitch she spotted Liam hands in his pocket staring outside the window.Where the hell was Kai? Had he run away knowing they would come.Delillah was on a wooden seat probably gotten from the kitchen, her hands and legs had been bound tightly and from the look of the knots that had been used to secure her she doubted she was going to wiggle free from them any time soon."I know what you must be thinking."Laim turned away from the window and she could see a smirk on his face. The monster was enjoying every moment of what he was doing to her."You must be asking y
Picking up the little girl from the ground, Kai accessed her. Aside from a cut on her lip and a bruise above her forehead he couldn't see any other external injuries.A few metres away from him was a hammock nestled in between two small trees in the backyard of the house and he took the girl there placing her carefully on it before returning to the unconscious men.Trey was just beginning to rouse from his unconscious state. He was lifting himself up from the ground, the palm of his hands flat on the ground . Kai kicked him and watched as he fell back to the ground face first."Who sent you?" He growled.Trey lying facedown on the dirt ground said nothing and Kai kicked at him again."I said who sent you?"Of course Kai knew who sent them but he just wanted to be sure, he wanted to hear that name he loathed with his whole being from the Betas mouth.Suddenly in a flash Trey was up on his feet and had Kai in a tackle pushing him across the ground as Kai fought back in defence.Throwing
Slowly like a creaking door that was pushed open little by little Delilah opened her eyes and fixed them on the ceiling above her.The events that led to her being on the bed were a bit hazy but she noticed something about her body. The pain was gone, those few moments when she had been injected with the wolfsbane were the most horrendous moments of her life.She had felt every single tremor and shudder and that went through her, every individual twitch of her muscle, every individual spam of her body.It was like walking through a garden of thorns.Delilah flexed her fingers and when they responded to her a small smile crept across her face.The fear she felt then was another experience she would never forget. It made her realize how vulnerable she was to these scumbags she called her kin.Liam was breaking all the laws of what it took to be a wolf. He was a psychopath and she would never see herself as a mate to him.She'd rather die first.Craning her neck to the side she caught a
Sitting there holding Delilah in his arms as she sobbed, Kai was only aware of one fact going through his head again and again.He'd almost lost this woman, he had almost lost his mate and when she had finally looked up at him from behind her veil of tears he couldn't restrain himself any longer.The need to claim her overpowered all the insecurities he felt and before he knew what was happening he was taking her lips in a hungry kiss.She tasted as sweet as he imagined, a dash of vanilla and almonds. Her scent overrode his common sense, filling his nose and driving him mad with need.His cock throbbed and thrashed painfully below begging to be free of its restraints.Kai broke away from the kiss, just that action had taken him a sheer amount of willpower. The both of them stared at each other, the hunger in their eyes evident, their breaths escaping their mouths in harsh gasps.How could a kiss feel so good? "If we do this there is no turning back" Kai said, never taking his eyes of
