It was shock mixed with thick desire that looked back at me once I spoke those simple words, I could sense from Baron’s eyes he wanted the same thing, the dark specs which danced around his beautiful green eyes also showed me his wolf wanted the same, but something seemed to be holding him back. “Are you sure that is what you want mate; I will not be able to stop myself once we begin.” Baron’s deep and lustful voice warns me as he pulls my hair to fall from my shoulder, the mark he had placed another time he and I had shared such a moment with one another on full view. “I have never been surer of anything in my life, wash away all Daniel did to me, claim me as yours.” I whispered against his lips m as my mouth began to water, his hands also climbing higher up my back. “But I understand why you may have some reservations Alpha, I’m a lot to handle, maybe you aren’t up for the task.” I smirked wanting to mess with him a little as I went to get off his lap, but his arms tightening
After returning to the palace, Baron was pulled away for some last-minute duties leaving me to head to the room alone but the way the thoughts were going around my head, I didn’t mind, at this point I wouldn’t know what to say to make conversation when my head was littered with all this uncertainty. Taking a seat on one of the grand tables Baron had on his gigantic balcony, I listen to the gentle wind blowing while finishing the portrait of Baron he requested, so much had happened that I hadn’t gotten the chance to continue but now I needed time alone, I knew drawing would fully allow my mind to forget the rest of the world existed. I was so engrossed in my own world as I sat with my knees up to my chest and the pad in the middle, I didn’t notice a person walking through the glass doors and taking a seat beside me at the table, until my body started to tingle which it did when one person was close. “I didn’t expect you to be the kind to walk with delicate feet Alpha, I didn’t he
The group continued its silent walk back through the trees and over to where the cars were waiting, I didn’t know what was going around their heads with all they’d seen but for me, I was more lost than I was back when this all started. I know how I feel about Baron, everything I’ve told him since I knew about this mateship and how safe I feel around him is true, but what about Daniel? Can I simply turn my emotions off, shouldn’t I be over the moon to see that he’s really alive, does that make me a horrible person because I don’t? As these questions surrounding my moral compass swirled around my head faster than a fairground ride, we push through the trees and over to where the cars were parked, the last time I saw these, I was blissfully unaware of who was waiting for me within the woods. Baron, whose hands hadn’t left my waist and arm the entire trip pulls me to stand right beside him, the look on his face was clear anger and annoyance for the way Daniel held me and especially, t
It was as though my entire body went numb in that moment, the atmosphere of the village seemed to fade into the black as my eyes locked on the one set of eyes I accepted I’d never get to see again. The face I had held in my hands so many times and thought I would for a lifetime was somewhat a mystery to me, my lip beginning to quiver as my mind attempted to accept what was happening. As painful as it was at the time, my mind had digested the fact that Daniel was gone and was able to move on but now he stood before me, it was as though I was in some kind of dream. Markus sensing my body felt numb, reached over and took the keepsake box from my hands before it slipped and smashed into pieces as it hit the floor below us. While Daniel, who I was fully convinced was a ghost at this point, began to take his steps down the stairs of his house and towards me. “Erin, baby.” Daniel’s voice slipped from his mouth and hit my ears, but his voice is what finally, seemed to snap my body out of
The silence of the forest seemed to engulf us the closer we walked to the village, my heart pounding in my chest with each step I would take. I hadn’t been back in this neck of the woods since the battle, so much has changed since than and as much as I like to think it hasn’t changed me, it has in ways I would never comprehend. I thought I knew which side of the fence I stood on when it came to the war between the humans and the werewolves, but now I’ve met Baron and somewhat accepted our mateship, I’m sat so firmly on that fence my butt is starting to hurt. I worry as soon as I see each person and building, I used to call mine, I’ll be stuck on that fence forever! Due to the chains which still hung from my hands and the terrain leading to the village even worse than what we walked through to get here, I was forced to hold onto Baron’s arm as he led me over each rock and hill. But through the thick trees I spot my first real glimpse of my home, the bigger building in the middle of
Within the hour, Stuart had left the palace and arrived at the village with the documents surrounding Alpha Harvey in hand ready to give to Markus. I thought making that call to give up the information on an Alpha would be easy to make but the moment I looked at Lizzie and how she broke down, I began to ask myself what I’d do if I’d had the decision to save my father. I would have jumped at the chance without a second thought, so did I have the right to put Lizzie through the pain I knew all too well? But it was Baron who reminded me what was at stake and why we had even come to the village, we needed to get this box for Alpha Robin so the agreement which was planning to help even more Alpha’s get on their feet could pass. Perhaps this Alpha may have to suffer but it’s going to help so many more, we may even be able to offer Alpha Harvey some protection and help from the invasion. But right now, the task was clear, Markus was essentially, scratching our backs, we had to return the f
