LOGINRHYSI was so angry that I could feel my temperature rising.Who was this person that hurt Grace’s mind so much that even after she had been through the worst possible treatment in the hands of a fucking diabolical psychopath, she still carried out the fear that we would hate her for this.How on earth would we hate her?This was not her fucking fault.And to think that that bastard went as far as to hurt our children. Now I was filled with an endless fire to hunt to until the ends of the earth and find out whoever that ‘S’ was and treat him to a fate that was a million times worse than death.It seemed like Grace had seen the clear angry expression on my face and automatically assumed that I was angry with her.She quickly grabbed my hand “please Rhys I am sorry, I shouldn’t have left I-”I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips effectively cutting her off while trying to soothe her at the same time.I gently caressed her neck and my wolf calmed only a fraction once she leaned
GRACE“You can take your time, love,” Rhys said.That was good. 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
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
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
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
