Esther’s POV
*Before the rogue attack on Blue Moon*
“Honey come down here please. I have someone that needs to speak with us.” I heard my mate, Jasper Knight yell for me. I rolled out of the bed and slid my feet into my light pink fuzzy slippers before walking to the living room. “Who is it?” I question him as soon as I walk in. “Esther please meet a dea
Esther's POVAfter Selene left I turned to Jasper glaring at him. "Why are we taking in her daughter? Is my newly found infertility a joke to her? I do not want to raise another child, especially when that child is not mine!" I growled. "Esther it will be fine. I will take care of her while you take care of Hazel. I do not wish to upset you but Selene is a dear friend of mine and I owe her a favor." He tried explaining to me. "I don't care that you owe her! I do not want this child in my home!" I screamed out. "Enough Esther!! Remember your place!
Zaraphine's POV'How are you doing?' I questioned my wolf. 'Not too good, but I can hold off a little longer.' She says sadly causing me to whimper. 'I'm gonna have to shift back. I can't let you die. I need you.' I told her. 'No it's okay. I can handle a few more days Zara. He will find us in time.' He tries reasoning. 'He's not coming. He thinks we don't want him!' Do I want him? Do I want to accept the bond? 'He will figure out what happened. He will come. He has to.' She whines."Ohh my little Zara. Why haven't you shifted back?" I hear her voice echo in the room causing me to shiver. "You need to shift Zaraphine! Otherwise I will have to make you!" She says as she walks out of the shadows, coming into view. I slowly stand up, ignoring the protests of my muscles and snarl at her. "Do not disrespect me! I raised you! You may not be my blood but you are still my child!" She growls. 'She's not my mother?' I ask my wolf. 'I don't know.'
Lakota's POVI hated seeing her so scared. I don't know why I felt the way I did about her. One minute all I want to do is protect her and the next I can't stand the sight of her. Something in me changes and it truly scares me. When Lyle brought her to my pack telling me she was a rogue that needed to be watched, I had this urge to rip him to pieces. I never liked the Knight family but I couldn't say no to having her in my presence.
Zaraphine's POVIt's been just over 6 months being back at Lakota's packhouse. He still keeps me in the cells, but he does bring me food every day. I have lost a lot of weight since being here and I barely talk to my wolf anymore. Ever since Lakota told me I would be mated to him she stopped coming out. I lost hope of ever get
Selene's POV"Lakota, calm down. I already know what you did to my daughter. She has moved on from it. She is with her mate, fighting her own battles as she learns to process what it means to become the next Moon Goddess." I explain sadly. Why is he still upset over something that has already been over with. "NO! You don't understand! She is in my pack, Selene! Something is wrong with me when I am awake. Esther Knight is at my pack and brought Zaraphine unconscious and she has been in the cells since. She is starving and Esther wants me to mate with her
EOS POVI left Selene and Endymion after discussing how I can get into Dark Moon pack territory without causing too much suspicion. We all agreed that I go to Blue Moon pack first, in search of her and when they tell me she is not there I will go to Atticus' pack looking for them. When I see that it is true that neither of them, are at their original packs or at each others I will begin my 'hunt'. I will go to each pack insisting to know if my niece is visiting. Dark Moon will be my fifth pack to go to, in hopes that Esther believes I have been searchin
Atticus' POVI left the cabin after Selene. I needed to shift, my anger was getting the best of me. 'How can she say we are not ready? How can she make that call? This is our mate! We have to protect her!" My wolf growls. 'If Selene won't tell us, then we will have to figure it out by ourselves. Let's run back to the pack and speak to Cain. He may know something.' I suggest. "Okay." He agrees, and I take off running towards my packhouse.
Atticus' POV"What the fuck are you doing here!"I growl. "Calm down Atticus. I'm just here to help." She says. "How did you even get in here?" Cain questions. "That's for me to know and you to never find out." She states nonchalantly. "I don't need your help!" I yell. "Ohh I think you do. Especially since I know where your precious mate is and why she is there." She says with a smirk. "Explain and I think about it." I grit. "Not how this works Atti. I want your word that no harm will come to me if I help you. If you can not give me that I will leave and you will never get her back." She states. "Atticus do it!" Cain growls. "Fine, Kira. I give
