The fact that neither Declan nor Rhys had stopped holding me, because right now their presence was the only thing stopping me from completely losing my mind. If either of them let go, I was certain I would shatter into a million tiny pieces.I swallowed around the painful lump in my throat.“You know that morning, when I ran away...” I started quietly. “I felt so fucking scared.”Neither of them interrupted.“I was just a nineteen-year-old with no clue how the world outside of the pack was.” I laughed bitterly through my tears. “I thought I knew everything back then... but I knew absolutely nothing. I was terrified of leaving, but I was even more terrified of what would happen if I stayed here... and so...” My voice cracked again. “I made the worst mistake of my life.”Declan tightened his arms around me, pulling me closer until my forehead rested against his chest.His heartbeat was calm.But I knew him more than anyone,
DECLAN’S POV“What the fuck happened to her?” Rhys asked, pacing outside the room like a caged animal.His footsteps echoed through the hallway, each turn sharper than the last. His hands kept clenching into fists before relaxing again, only for the cycle to repeat. I knew exactly what was going through his head because it was the same thing tearing through mine.I was barely trying to keep it together myself.“I don’t know, brother... I don’t know.”The words felt useless the second they left my mouth.This was not the first time something like this had happened.We had stood outside this room before, waiting for Jonathan to finish examining Grace while we held our damn breaths and silently prayed to the Moon Goddess that this wouldn't be the time we lost her. You would think that it would eventually become easier.It never did.Every single time felt like someone had reached into my chest and wrapped a hand around my heart, squeezing tighter and tighter until I could barely breathe.
GRACE“You need to tell them,” Rakkie said.I ran a hand through my hair. “Seriously, Rakkel, you are supposed to be on my side, not against me,” I said.She heaved a sigh. “You know that I am always on your side, babes. Always. And that is why I am telling you that you need to tell them about this before it gets out of hand.”My brow furrowed. “What are you talking about?” I asked.She cleared her throat. “N-nothing. Let’s talk about something else—”I cut her off. “No. Tell me what is wrong.”Rakkie was so straightforward that whenever she tried to lie or stall, she got this terrible stutter. It was impossible for her to hide anything from me. She would trip over her own words, and I would catch her every single time.“It’s not i-important,” she said.“Rakkie, please tell me.”Silence stretched between us. I could hear her breathing through the phone, uneven and hesitant, like she was trying to convince herself to stay quiet. That alone made my stomach twist.It took her a few more
DECLAN“How was school today Trouble?” I asked carrying Faith in my arms.Otto was walking right beside us, but the little man still insisted that he was too grown to even allow me to hold his hand… even now, the only person that Otto showed vulnerable emotions to, was his mother.Faith on the other hand was a little ball of energy and she was happy to be lifted up in my arms.I had to savor times like this.We had already missed out on a huge chunk of their childhood and soon before we knew what was happening, they were going to be all grown up.“It was fun” Faith said “we had a new teacher today and his name was Mr. Silas!” she said excitedly.That was enough to catch my attention “is that true?” I asked Otto and he nodded.“Yes, most of our teachers are really boring, but Mr. Silas is so fun!!!”“That’s great” I said but my brain was already doing calculations.My brother and I knew everything that happened over at the Silverclaw Pack. Who came in and left, if there was a new wolf,
GRACEThe air only grew hotter as they stripped me of my clothes, piece by piece until I was naked before they lay me on the bed between them.I felt vulnerable, and powerful a very intoxicating mix that was able to successfully rid me of the ability to think straight.Their hands had explored every inch of me, their mouths worshipping me like I was some kind of sacred goddess. I was a trembling mess, my core already dripping with anticipation."Baby..." Declan muttered against my neck, kissing and licking and sucking on his mark. Electricity charged through me. The rough stubble of his jaw scraped against my sensitive flesh, sending a jolt of electricity straight to my clit. I arched into him, my fingers tangling in his hair as he nipped at the sensitive spot just below my ear.Rhys, who had been watching us with dark, hungry eyes, tightened his grip on my waist and ground me against him. His cock was hard, pressing against my thigh through his jeans, and I could feel the heat of him
GRACEI turned to Declan and he hugged me like he knew that was what I needed.“He is never going to forgive me is he?” I asked.If that was the truth, then I knew that I probably did deserve it, for all of the things that I did hide from him, and the ones that I was still not sure that I would be able to tell them.I knew how much that I hurt him, I hurt the both of them.And I knew what my kids had gone through, all because of my actions and I literally felt like I was dying inside… when was I going to stop hurting people this much?Declan softly pulled us back so that I could look right into his deep grey orbs.His eyes were pulling me in, and keeping me a willing prisoner and he was wordlessly sending all of the comfort he could muster, wordlessly telling me that it was not my fault.And I know how fucking selfish I was for hanging on to that feeling so tightly, making sure to console myself, even though I did not deserve it.He leaned in slowly and dropped a small kiss on my lip
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
GraceI stood up on shaky feet.“Mummy where is your clothes?” Faith asked. When I turned to heck wither my kids were ok I saw that Otto had turned back, to face away from me.He was just so adorable.Before I could reply, someone placed a coat over me, covering my nakedness “Grace, where have you
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
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
