He rejected her for the good of his pack. She was banished for being his mate. They both know that their only chance to survive is to forget one another. But what happens when these two reunite and Rune Sterling does all he can to win his mate back, even if it means the cost of becoming the next Alpha. Will Brynlee Eclipse accept her mate or will she reject him the way he rejected her to protect herself from further heart break. Full of possessive Alpha wolves and witty comebacks, this dark romance may find a light at the end of the tunnel with the help of the Moon Goddess guiding them.
View MoreCurled up in bed, hand on my flat stomach, I wonder if I am truly pregnant. It could be one of Rune’s tricks with him trying to get back together with me, but my instinct tells me he wasn’t lying with how overprotective and possessive he became. The worst part is that the bond became whole once more as soon as he announced I am with pup. I can feel it even now, humming with new vitality as if the rejection never happened. [Hey Brynlee, are you okay?] Caspian’s voice rings through my mind, taking me out of my thoughts.[I…I am dealing with something.] I answer hesitantly, getting a hum in response.[Does it have anything to do with how Rune behaved?] I sigh, turning to lay on my back and look up at my ceiling.[Unfortunately, it does.] I then apologize to Caspian about how Rune behaved with his Mate, Evette, explain that the bond threw out a danger warning that set Rune off. Caspian is silent for a moment before our link hums with understanding.[Something happened between the two of
Looking out the window of my room, the lights off and the area quiet, I wonder how Brynlee is doing. After announcing to her that she is pregnant, Brynlee kicked me out of her cottage saying she needed time and space to think about it. That was three hours ago. In these last three hours I have done nothing but sit in my room worrying about her.I know Brynlee wants to be a mother. Know that she wants a big family after living life as an only child, but I also know that she is terrified. I can feel her fear through the Mate Bond, feel her worrying over this news. I hate that I can’t be there to hold her and help her through it, but this is Brynlee’s decision. It is her body, her choice.If she decides that she isn’t ready to be a mother, then I can’t change her mind. As much as I want our pup, I can’t force her to stay pregnant just for my selfish needs. I had already been selfish once and rejected her for the safety of a pack that didn’t really care for me. I will not make that mistake
Chapter 79Staring at Brynlee held in a headlock, I stalk towards the training ring she is in. Caspian’s mate tentatively lets her go as the power and anger inside my blood courses out in waves. I watch as Brynlee stands, worry in her eyes as she places her hand on my shoulder.“Rune, we were just sparing.” She states, her scent wrapping around me. Something has changed about it. It has grown sweeter and warmer. The urge to protect her grows stronger and without thinking, I scoop her into my arms are walk out of the training facilities with everyone watching. I note the scrapes and bruises left on her as she silently lets me carry her, knowing they are from her sparing and will heal in no time but that doesn’t stop the feeling of wanting to turn back and thrash that she-wolf for giving them to her. The broken bond hums with satisfaction at my thoughts of wanting to take revenge for my Mate no matter how misguided they may be. But I can feel Brynlee growing angry at me for taking her a
Chapter 78Facing Odette in the training ring I smile as she lunges for me, aiming to punch me in my right side. I easily dodge her, using her momentum and pushing her lightly by placing my hand in the center of her back. She fall onto the ground behind me, her body hitting the training ring floor with a loud thud.Odette growls in frustration as she turns to lay on her back. It has been three days since I was told I could train again but no one would spare with me out of fear of pissing off Quincy and Rune. In the end, Odette became my training partner with the intent of becoming stronger because she wanted to be promoted from an Omega to a Warrior since she is now mated to Caspian. At first I was hesitant, not wanting to hurt the she-wolf who essentially became my sister in law. But Caspien begged me stating that I was the only wolf they could trust in bringing out Odette’s strength.“Come on Odette. Just one blow is all you need to land.” I call out, lazily stretching as the she-wo
Chapter 77Sitting in the hospital room, I wait patiently for Jasmin to return. An hour has passed by after we redid all the tests from last week to see how the results have changed. She would have stayed with me in the room, but Jasmin was called away to help a pup that fell from a tree broke her wrists while training.My mind wanders back to the party last night after the initiation ceremony. It had went better than expected as everyone ate, drank and laughed to their hearts content. No one was an outsider anymore. We were all one pack now, one family that could finally communicate and work together as one.Simone and Odette had danced most of the night before slipping away and Quincy joked that Caspian was finally going to mark and claim her as his. This prompted me to roll my eyes and shove cake in his face before a few of our Hunters came and stole him away to welcome him into their unit.“Brynlee.” Jasmin calls, braking me from my thoughts.“Hey. Are the results in?” I ask, curi
Chapter 76Pulling up to the farm house, I let out a nervous breath. This is the first time in years that I will be seeing Milan again. My niece and I had been adamant about not seeing each other for everyone’s safety. Had Valor learned some of the wolves of Harvest Willow survived, he would have hunted them down and killed every last one of them himself.“I thought you said they lived with humans?” Ash questions, looking out the windows of the bus.“They do. The city is just ten minutes drive from here and the pups go to the nearest schools which happen to be full of humans.” I answer, standing from the driver seat and stretching. The drive here had been shorter than we thought with five day on the road and minimal stops to replenish the fuel and our food supplies. In the end, it leaves me feeling sore but thankfully we split the job of driving and taking turns sleeping on the bus.“Besides, I own the farm and land here.” Ash was in the middle of drinking some coffee when I reveal th
Chapter 75Standing under the willow tree in the same white dress I wore on my own initiation, I watch as the Pine Moon refugees line up before us, their excitement filling the air. Crescent Phoenix has grown because of them. Because they wanted a fresh start and a safe place away from Valor and Tanya. All of this was thanks to Rune finally growing a back bone against Valor too.My eyes scan the crowd and I notice Rune instantly. His scars have healed up a lot more since we returned from Onix Moon. They are starting to fade and I have a feeling it is because I am starting to forgive him. He did what he did to protect Pine Moon and I can’t fault him for that anymore. It doesn’t stop me from being afraid to try again though, but even I can feel that things have shifted between us once more and I am starting to see him as a friend.“Welcome everyone.” Asteria steps forward, a smile on her face despite the stress we have been under.“As many of you know, nearly a month and a half ago we s
Chapter 74“You sure you want to live on your own again?” Asteria asks as we stand in front of my cottage. It has been five days since the bonfire, six since my bedrest started, and I can tell that Asteria worries about me being on my own since my kidnapping occurred in front of this verry door.“I am sure. Tomorrow I hopefully get a clean bill of health from Jasmin and from there I can resume training with the others.” I answer, taking a deep breath. Asteria sighs but doesn’t argue back. For the last six days I have stayed in her house with her family, either using their home office for my own needs or watching movies with the three pups. As much as I loved them, I am beginning to miss having my own space.“I am not used to living with other people and all of my belongings are here.” I admit sheepishly, getting an understanding look from Asteria. Without further hesitation, I push the door to my cottage and step inside. It has been kept clean by Gale and Chase, the two coming to dust
Chapter 73Making my way out of my room, I lock the door before picking up my duffle bag and heading down the hall towards the elevator. I think back to the conversation I had with my niece last night, a smile spreading across my face.Milan, the eldest of the remaining Harvest Willow wolves had thankfully picked up the phone when I called using Asteria’s office phone after the dial tone went on for what felt like an eternity. She was shocked to hear from me, news of Tanya and Valor reaching them already and worried that I had been killed by the tyrant and his whore. Her surprise turned into disbelief when I told her I am in Crescent Phoenix and that Asteria is the Alpha.She didn’t believe me at first as I tried convincing the twenty-six year old that Asteria no longer lived in Pine Moon and mentioned how she left due to Valor’s treatment of Brynlee. When that was mentioned, Milan finally relented and listened to me.When Asteria finally joined me in her office thirty minutes later,
