Alpha KaiDelaney went straight to her parents' bedroom when we arrived, despite her mother trying to stop her. I had to remind Seraphina that we all wanted to find Thorne and that she should let Del get inside without forcing me to take action against her. There was a lot of movement in the pack, the members scattered all over searching for their alpha. I could hear their shouts from inside the woods, the urgency in their voices as they called Thorne's name."Any word from Jeriah?" Elias asked in a whisper as we followed Delaney up into the house. Nyra had already accompanied her there, but the goal was to keep her in my sight, since I didn't trust Seraphina a bit."No," I responded, followed by another trial to reach out to Jeriah telepathically. As we took the stairs to the bedrooms, Del came down, with Nyra and Seraphina trailing behind her, carrying a map. In Delaney's hand was one of her father's shirts and a toothbrush."We will try a location spell first," Delaney stated, walk
Alpha Ronan I was up and down in the office, coordinating the search for Thorne, and with the protection spell broken, I had increased the number of soldiers around the borders, assigning more in the critical areas bordering the neutral grounds. Attempts to reach Jeriah had still borne no fruit, so I had to wait for Kai to reach the pack and contact me. As I was walking to the elevator to head to the boardroom, I bumped into Vex, dressed in loose matching black sweatpants and a sweatshirt. "Ronan," she yelped, taking a step back. "It's Ronan to you," I corrected, my face void of any emotions. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I heard about Alpha Thorne, and I want to help in the search. I know I am no longer the commander, but you know I can do a good job," she said, holding her hands behind her back. She wasn't being touchy or seductive for that matter, which meant that my decision to strip her of her title had finally tamed her. She couldn't even meet my eyes, with her face l
Delaney "How did you get to the capital?" I finally asked my mother the question I had been burning to ask since we left the mansion. There wasn't any sign of my father's car, or any other car for that matter that my mom used for transport. "What?" She mumbled in the backseat of the SUV, pretending that she hadn't heard my question. "How did you get here?" I repeated, looking at her over the passenger's seat. Kai was quiet on the driver's side, staring right ahead. Elias refused to ride with my mother, choosing to follow us in a different vehicle with Nyra. "I am a hybrid," she confidently stated. "That doesn't answer my question," I fired back, my lips stretching into a smile when the corner of her mouth twitched. "Are you interrogating me now?" The moment she asked that, I knew she was trying to evade the question, which only raised more questions in my mind. I didn't pester her, I simply turned and enjoyed the view of the forest, rolling my window down. The fresh air smelt l
Alpha Kai I called Jeriah countless times and tried mind-linking him, but his phone went unanswered and the telepathic messages weren't going through. It was obvious something was amiss, because he should have informed me first when Thorne was taken. Also, he would have told me that Seraphina was coming, but he never did that. "When was the last time you saw Thorne?" I questioned Seraphina in the living room. She refused to sit down and insisted on pacing across the space. Delaney was lying on Ronan's side, her wet eyes staring into space. After pushing us aside, she had eventually allowed us close, but not before we apologised. She seemed deep in thought, out of touch with reality. The fear of her stressing was the reason why we didn't tell her about Thorne, but well, Seraphina had decided to blow the damn whistle. "30 minutes before the note was found at the border," Seraphina answered, her eyes not meeting mine. I turned my attention back to my phone, checking whether there was
Delaney "How can I sleep for a full day and night without stirring, Nana?" I asked Maribel, sitting on the first step of the staircase. "As if that isn't enough, I am still sleepy," I revealed in a mumble, supporting my upper body weight with elbows on my knees. Maribel chuckled, standing in front of me. "It's normal to be constantly sleepy, feel exhausted all the time and even oversleep. Your body is trying to adapt to the new changes, nothing to be alarmed about." "B-ut," I countered. "Sleep isn't the only thing—" "Don't worry, whatever you are experiencing will reduce after the first trimester. When a she-wolf is expectant, some hormones are produced more than usual, which in turn affects sexual appetite, sleep, eating patterns, moods, weight and many more." While she explained, I could hear my mates' footsteps, coupled with their heavy scents that made my wolf stir. "Does that include hips broadening?" Ronan asked from behind me, on top of the staircase. I turned, my chest wa
Alpha Ronan "It's been over 24 hours since she locked herself up in the penthouse," I spoke, running my hand over my face. After finding out that Delaney was pregnant and breaking the spell, the next day when we drove to the office, she went to the penthouse and locked herself up with all the spare keys. Kai breathed out loudly, his shoulders slumping forward. "I don't even know how to beg her anymore to open the door," he admitted, leaning on the wall beside the penthouse front door. "Delaney, please." I knocked for the hundredth time, yawning. We'd stayed outside by the door the entire night, hoping and pleading with her to let us in, but every knock went unanswered. We could have broken in, but the last thing we wanted was to anger her even more. It was almost 9 a.m. when she eventually opened the door, rubbing her eyes with her left hand. "Oh my god, Del, you scared us." I hugged her first, breathing in her intoxicating scent. Kai followed, jumping to his feet as if he was
