LOGINMy wife, my mate, was laughing. No, she was roaring with laughter.
And it wasn't for me.
From where I was, hidden behind the porches of the back garden, I could hear Holly laughing between gasps, her scent tinged with the salt of her sweat and her footsteps sounding unsteady on the ground, as if she were exhausted.
“I&h
The last thing I wanted to do was leave my wife's side.But I had promised my mother that I would take care of that pack. Certain things could no longer be postponed.Even knowing this, my body refused to move a single muscle to get up from the armchair where I was sitting, right next to the bed where Holly was sleeping with her hand on mine. I didn't tell her about my mother immediately, afraid that the impact of the news might hinder her recovery. If she went back into that coma, with part of her chest still open, I didn't know what I was capable of doing.But she knew something was wrong. Now, it had been three days since she woke up, her wolf was clearly working hard to close the wound near her heart and regain her strength, so she thought maybe the time had come. Flora and the healers said she was out of danger, at least. But I think that was a bad idea.She had cried herself to sleep.I watched her sleep silently, her eyelashes puffed out, her cheeks flushed, and her lips slight
“He is fully in your lands. Body and soul. Although he has certainly come very close to running into me before. Tonight was one of those times, but you can rest easy.” The Goddess reassured me “It’s just the connection between you. Your soul hasn’t completely detached yet. A part of you is still there with him. Listening to him.” Her own ears perked up, as if she were encouraging me to pay attention.“Please, don’t do this to me.” I heard him again, this time more clearly “I can’t lose you too. Anything but you. Fuck, Holly, I can’t…” His voice seemed to get stuck in his throat “I once promised that not even death would be able to separate me from you. And I will keep that promise, are you listening to me? No matter where you go, I will find you. Even if you never open your eyes again… I will come to you.”“No! No, Noah!” I screamed at the sky above me “No, he can’t do this! This is not what I sacrificed myself for! Please, talk to him! Stop him!”“My ways of connecting with wolves wi
I was in a dream.I was almost completely certain of it. It was very similar to when I used to meet my mother in her wolf form. The full moon was high in the sky and the soft grass where I lay was so comfortable that I didn't even bother trying to get up. There was a strange feeling in my mind, almost hollow. I think that was what peace really meant, perhaps. I couldn't find anything else in my mind besides the desire to simply exist. Simple. Peaceful.But even so, something was wrong. I could feel it.Why couldn't I just surrender to that feeling? It was so inviting, so irresistible…“I knew it wouldn’t be so easy with you.” Someone laughed nearby “Most souls don’t even make it this far,
“What?” a murmur escaped me.“Garrett already messed me up enough finding his mate, but Elowyn of all people? A moon priestess? My plans, which included being discreet and simply using my right as second in line to the throne, have been ruined. I thought I was safe when Wayne was born with blood as sterile as his father's. But then you came along.” He snorted “A child with magic? I couldn't be patient anymore. I couldn't let them discover the power they had in their hands. It wasn't even difficult. They left me alone with you all the time. Just a few moments and you became a child with health hanging by a thread, just like I once was…”"You bastard...!" I growled, but he didn't even seem to be listening to me.“Unfortunately, even that wasn’t enough. I needed yo
"So, that was really your intention." I grunted, unable to help but look around into the darkness of the night.“Oh, don’t worry. I’ve already made sure we won’t have any interruptions.” He smiled, taking a few more steps closer “Come on, don’t look at me like that. You should be flattered that I went to so much trouble just so we could see each other. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to produce a chimera? Imagine three of them. And the potion your kind father-in-law asked me for… A price almost too high to pay for a distraction.”“Dean?” I blinked, my apprehension growing “He…?”“Don’t worry. He’s more of an emissary of mine than a threat, even if he thinks otherwise.” Kent laughed humorlessly &ldqu
“I don’t like this,” Flora grumbled, when they were finally out of sight “This could be an ambush set specifically for your parents. If they aren’t protected enough…”“They… They’ll be alright.” Wayne said, but I could see the fear in his eyes, like a little boy afraid of losing his parents again “I’ve reviewed our security plans for this house with Holly’s husband a hundred times. There are over twenty soldiers just guarding the doors of this place. Unless Kent has managed to infiltrate someone even among our most trusted soldiers…” he stopped abruptly, that thought disturbing him.“Exactly.” Flora grunted “He’s involved with the deepest shadows of this world. Go to the leader of the guards and tell them to reinforce security for your parents and also for this room. Gather even more men than planned.” She banged her staff, annoyed “Hon
For a second, Noah's parents just stood there, staring at each other. And I was absolutely certain that a fight would break out if Dean made the terrible decision to challenge our Alpha. Under normal circumstances, it should be Arthur, the one who had been offended
I always thought Noah had a lot of his mother in him, but now I realized I was very wrong. Yes, he had inherited Alpha Kaia's dark hair and eyes, but almost everything else had come from his father. The chiseled nose, the sharp features, the way he looked menacing
It's not like I didn't know we'd be the center of attention the moment we stepped into the pack's central square. It was obvious all eyes would turn to us as soon as they noticed us.However, it was still an oppressive
My words seemed to shock them all, to the point that I almost regretted them. However, just as I was thinking of apologizing for interfering, Alpha Kaia rewarded me with another smile, much more kind and proud than all the others.
