LOGINDECLAN“Daddy, please. I want my mummy.”This had been going on all morning, and now, I had no idea what it was that I could do anymore to stop this.Otto had fallen into this illness since that day when he walked about how he felt, and no matter how many times we tried the wolvesbane bath, he just would not stop shivering.His little body was curled up underneath the blankets, but even with all those layers covering him, he continued to shake violently.“Please calm down, Otto. Help is coming….”I reached out and rubbed his little back, but the moment my hand touched him, he whimpered.“Daddy, I want Mummy.”My heart cracked a little more.“I know, baby. I know.”But what could I tell him?That we were looking for his mother?That we had no idea where she was?That every tracker we had sent out had returned with nothing?That his mother had disappeared because of something we should have noticed much earlier?I could not say any of that.Faith was crying too, and Rhys was trying his
GRACE“Aaahhhh”I gasped awake when a bucket of cold water was dumped all very my body.I don’t know how long that I had been here.Maybe days, or weeks, I don’t know…. I think that I lost the concept of time being tied to a chair, in a dark space, not even seeing the sun come out. I had not even been given the luxury of using the toilet and no matter how embarrassing it was, I had peed on myself here.I was smelly, itchy and scared.I could not even tell the amount of times that I had passed out.But no matter how much I cried, or how much I begged there was no one who even cared to open the door to me since Harper left.Until now.I was back here, trapped face to face with S, the man who made my life a hundred times worse than death. He towered over me in this dark room, but I could make out his eyes.That wicked gaze.His arms were folded and he smirked at me “finally, I have you back in my cage little bunny” he said.I shook my head, struggling against the chain that held me, but
DECLAN’S POV“It will all be alright baby, Mummy just went on a little vacation… she will be back soon”That lie tasted like lead on my own tongue, but how could I say the truth and break the heart of two five year olds who did not yet understand why their mother would suddenly just up and go like that, leaving only a flimsy half written note behind.But two days had passed now and it was getting harder and harder to keep up a brave front, especially knowing that I was rotting on the inside.I thought it would have been easier, since Grace had decided to leave before, but this was a hundred times harder than the first time because this time, I had already come to the realization that I could not fucking live without her.Faith was inconsolable “Mummy is angry with me. I said that I hate her Daddy but I was lying. I don’t hate my mummy I want her to come and read me a bedtime story….”“Mummy is no mad at you baby…”She shook her head “yes she is, and she won’t forgive me until I make
GRACEWhen I opened my eyes, I was faced with total darkness.My chest was beating at a pace too fast to be considered normal, so fast that I feared that it might just come to a stop all together.But that was not the only scary thing.I was in a dark place, hands and feet chained to a chair with silver chains that burned deeper into my skin the more that I struggled against the restrained.“Hello! Let me go!”I screamed until my throat was sore and words could no longer make their way out of my throat…. I had cried so much that if I did anymore I would burst a vessel.I hated dark, because that was when all of my greatest nightmares came to light, and this time, I was alone…I could not even feel my wolf because of how weak I was.“Bunnyyyyyyyy” that mocking menacing voice sing-songed mockingly in my ears. My eyes widened and my breath got shorter. I culd not move away.Shadows were reaching to grab me, hurting me…“Stop please, leave me alone!!”I let them, it was real, or wasn’t it
RHYSI stared at that paper like it was a ticking time bomb, and it was about to explode at any second.There was this inkling of something terrible crawling through my entire body but I refused to pay it any heed. Not when she had promised that she would never leave us.I rushed over to where the paper was and snatched it.For a few seconds, I just stood there with it clutched tightly between my fingers, staring at the handwriting that I knew better than anything else.It was her handwriting.The same handwriting I had seen whenever she tried to cheat and help the kids with their homework… her hand writing hadn’t even changed since we were in school together.It was scattered, and I always joked that she wrote with two left hands.Only this time, there was nothing funny about looking at her handwriting.My heart hammered painfully against my chest the more I stared at it.I tried to convince myself that it was not what I was thinking.Grace would not have possibly done that to us, no
RHYS No one had made a move ever since Grace walked away, and all of our eyes were still glued in the direction she had just disappeared into.It was like she had raised a dark cloud over all of us, and somehow, even after she had left, the cloud was still hanging over our heads, raining down on us with a silence that felt heavier than words.Silas was the first to break the uncomfortable silence.He cleared his throat awkwardly and shifted from one foot to the other.“Um… I think that I will just take my leave now,” he said quietly.Before he could take another step, Faith clung tighter to him, burying her face against his chest as fresh tears streamed down her cheeks.“Mummy was mean to you,” she cried. “I hate her!”Silas immediately softened. He gently patted her back, trying to calm her trembling little body.“Don’t say that about your mother, little one,” he said tenderly. “She is still your mother, and you shouldn’t say things like that when you
Grace“You have to go back Grace… it is the only way, you know it is”I looked at Rakkel like I wanted to argue, the goddess knows I did… to much time had passed, too many things had happened. A lot had happened to me in the course of running away, form the pack.Did I make all of that sacrifice ju
RhysWhy on earth did she have to come back?That was the same question that I had been asking myself ever since I forced that unfamiliar scented wolf to shift.So much had changed about her, but at the same time she was still completely the same.For starters she was no longer the little girl tha
Declan“That woman, why did you let her into the house?”I could understand why Rhys was like this. He was hurt the most by when she ran away and left us. I mean I was hurt too because she was our mate, and she left us. But for Rhys, it was much more than that.They were best friends and she still
GraceOtto and Faith were asleep as the plane took its landing.The morning had been very emotional for them when they realized that Rakkel would not be coming with us.I wanted her to come with I really did bu tour pack did not do well with humans, the last thing I want was for her to get ripped
