ELLIE
"Alpha. Welcome back," I just about managed to open my eyes and I was greeted with a face I hadn't seen before.
I could barely make out the smile on her face but she seemed nice enough as she moved around me, making me more comfortable and removing whatever equipment had been previously attached to me.
"I am Doctor Lira Parker and I have been monitoring you for the last twenty-four hours. You are going to make a full recovery but you need to take at least two months before you return to your Alpha duties fully," Lira continued to speak as I allowed my eyes to properly adjust to the light.

After Nicole fell asleep on my shoulder, I didn't want to put her down, she was so easy to fall in love with and I just wanted to hold her forever. She was so sweet and innocent. It was impossible not to fall in love with her the moment you saw her and I now understood why Jayson had a hard time putting her down once he had picked her up. Jackson was patrolling the borders, still waiting for the attack which Jayson had told us was coming, though apparently there was no sign of anything in the area. Jackson had even sent men to check on the camp and they reported that the only damage which had been done was the collapse of a building - though that had occurred when part of a tree fell onto the building and caused it to fall. Other than that though, there were no signs that they had b
Ellie When those words left Luca's mouth I am sure my world stopped for a moment. Jackson had been attacked and it didn't sound like it was a simple scratch to the face which that it was life-threatening. The thought of him dying brought back the same sensation I had when Lex died. I didn't know what to do and, for a second, I almost forgot how to breathe as I tried to absorb the words. I was so happy and now everything was falling apart again. I was sure the Moon Goddess was doing this on purpose. She was making me suffer for everything I did to Blake. She was trying to make me see that I had the most wonderful mate and I was bitch to push him away like we did when we first met. But I was terrified. I was dragged to pack like a piece of meat and then I found out that my mate was the son of the man who murder my family. If that wasn't enough, I was told my Alpha could kill me,
JAYSON I would say that Blake's panicked knocking on my door was the reason was I now wide awake but that would be a lie. I haven't slept properly in weeks because, every single time I closed my eyes, my dreams were plagued with memories of the damage I had done. There was the blood of the innocent I had murdered. The faces of the enemies I had tortured before killing them in the most brutal way. There was even the proof that I was the reason for the imminent war which was making its way towards the pack. I was lucky if I managed three hours sleep in a night. I could sleep but I would only wake in a pool of my own sweat. "We're going to the hospital," Blake had said. I knew that I needed to tell him the truth about his parents and that neither of them were really as they seemed. The guilt was eating me alive now and all I wanted was to tell him the truth before i
LINK I looked across the table and I wondered how the hell we had gotten to this point. I didn't want another mate. I had a mate and she was murdered. I watched as her life slipped away from her and there was nothing I could do to protect her. I watched as my pup paid the price for James' ignorance and he callously took its life away. I didn't need Jamie trying to replace her and neither did I need her love. I probably sound like some sort of bastard but I had always said if I was given a second chance at love, I would reject them because I didn't want them and they didn't need someone as messed as I am for their mate. I couldn't reject her though. Not knowing that Blake was her brother and Ellie was his mate. The both of them would have me for dinner if they found out I had rejected Jamie without a valid reason and I didn't want to upset either of them - not whe
ELLIE I walked into Jackson's room and I wasn't even surprised to see that Elliot was now sleeping on the bed beside her unconscious mate. Her arm wrapped protectively around her stomach as she shifted a little in her sleep and moved closer to Jackson. Luca was asleep in the corner of the room. He was barely visible from the darkness which had been cast over him and that was probably the best thing for him right now - especially given that I didn't know whether I could even trust him anymore because I didn't know whether he was part of the plot to murder my pups and my mate. Jayson was the only one of the four in the room actually awake. He was sitting on the window ledge which provided you with a beautiful view of the lake at the edge of the territory. There was something calming about that place and I had been there more than a couple of times while I was pregnant - I usually disappe
All my anger and my pain coming out in one hit. Every piece of emotion I had hidden from the world was coming out to a man I was supposed to hate but he was there for me when I needed him and I couldn't afford to push him away - not after the day I've already had and the news I've been given. "I know it doesn't mean much right now but you can trust me El. I know I am an idiot and I know I have made mistakes but I am here to make up for them now. I will be here for as long as you need me and I have no intention of leaving while your family are in danger," Jayson whispered reassuringly. I buried my head into his neck and continued to push all my emotions into the open. I decided to ignore my wolf who was shouting at me because she wanted Blake to calm her down and didn't like that I was in another male's arms. Though her growling was annoying as hell, I didn't let it bother me right now because I needed this and Blake wasn't here to hold m
LUCA I could have shown Ellie and Jayson that I was awake when they walked into the room. I could have moved and given them a sign that I wasn't really asleep and I could everything they had to say but I didn't bother. I knew it was rude to listen in but something was wrong with Ellie after we left the cells. She didn't want to speak to me. She couldn't even look at me. Hell, she threatened me with death, and that was something she had never done before - she should have known that I would never let anything happen to Elliot and her pup. I would rather die myself than see anything happen to Elliot. She was a sweet girl, somewhat shy and cautious around new people, but she was sweet nonetheless and she made people fall in love with her so easily. It was impossible not to love her because she was too lovely for her own good. I can't imagine what I would do if anyth
ELLIE "You need to stop. Seriously," I couldn't stop laughing as Blake poked my sides for the thousandth time. He hadn't stopped touching me since we walked out of Jackson's hospital room and he successfully growled at every single male in the hospital until they bowed their head in submission. Even that made me laugh. Blake was one of the least terrifying people I knew and he didn't have it in him to kill most of the time. He was lovely and the things he did for me only made me fall more in love with him every single day - our bond never seemed to stop growing with each day that actually passed. But the unmated males of the pack were seriously terrified of Blake. They thought he would rip their heads off if they so much as looked at me. Some of them had an unnecessarily active imagination and, through the pack link, I had seen the things they thought would happen to them - from litera
