Beta Will’s POV
How could I fall for that?! Wolves from other packs had tried to manipulate me many times since I had become Beta and I saw right through them, each and every time. This time was different, the voice had sounded just like my mothers.
I had taken off without hesitating, I knew Alpha Erik would punish me when I got back, I didn’t care about the punishment whatever it may be, I couldn’t let my mum die on her own. She had moved away after my father had passed as everything around our pack just reminded her of him. I never expected her to move four hundred miles away and even now she still insists it’s not far enough.
I even abandonned my pregnant mate Lacey without saying anything, she must be going mad and probably thinks that I have abandonned her.
I arrive at my mother's house and find her in the garden, relaxing on a sun chair making the most of the glorious weather "Mum, are you okay. I came as soon as I could"
TJ’s POVI can’t believe what I am seeing, he literally ripped Noah’s heart out and didn’t even seem bothered by how easily he killed the man. I just, I just cannot deal this right now!Erik held his hand out to me but I just couldn’t bring myself to take it, spots formed in front of my eyes and i could feel my heart beating through my chest. I felt him crouch down in front of me, his large hand cupped my face trying to turn my head so that I was facing him. The smell of the crimson blood that was coating his arm and the pool that was surrounding Noah was overwhelming and I found myself smacking his hand away.I had let this cruel man mark me, something I still don’t fully understand except that it meant that I belong to him and now I have this bright red symbol on my collarbone.I stood up, taking one final look at Erik and Will and walked away, away from Erik, away from the people carrying Noah’s body and away f
Alpha Erik’s POVThrough the mate bond I could feel her sadness, disgust and resentment rolling off her and I am sure everyone else could feel it too. Hitting my hand away was something I didn’t expect, even when hesitant before, TJ would always accept my offering.I went to follow her, fearing she would run again, Will’s arm stops me, his voice calm when he tells me that TJ needs some space. His wife Lacey reminds me that what TJ had just witnessed was like her seeing it for the first time because of the amnesia.I sigh, dragging my hands through my hair “I’ve fucked up, haven’t I?!” it was a rhetorical question but none the less, Lacey kept talking quietly. I acknowledged what she was saying but it didn’t stop the image of TJ’s face flashing before my eyes, the face of pure disgust. My wolf was horrified by how upset she was. I buried the pain we were feeling and marched towards the training grounds. I had
Hayley’s POV I really hoped that TJ would be willing to meet me, she didn’t completely trust me, that much was clear but she needs to know the Fae was not responsible for her kidnapping, whether she believed it or not was a different story. She took the piece of paper with my address so that’s gotta mean something right? I finished grabbing my groceries and headed to the checkout, it was nearly 1pm and I would not have long to get back before she arrived. I loaded the back of my blue corsa and headed towards the place I call home even though I am rarely there, pulling up I could see a light was already on. My heart jumped at seeing her when I walked through the door, she was actually here. I repeated all the details we had previously spoke about and confirmed it was me and my Fae family that had rescued her, because we knew her life was crucial to our kind, well, to all kind in this world. I was so happy she had discovered the truth about her heritage and how
TJ’s POVI left Hayley’s, giggling to myself as I headed out the door, the effects of the alcohol would not last long so I was enjoying it. I was grateful for Hayley talking to me, the whole time I didn’t feel anything bad towards her like I had before, my gut instinct telling me to believe everything she was saying. I had folded the paper back up carefully and shoved it deep into my hip pocket. I wasn’t ready to share it with Erik yet and I still was not certain about him, even if we are supposed to be together.As I stepped down the stairs of Hayley’s porch, the stench of blood was strong and I watched as some of Erik’s men carried dead wolves and people across the grounds. I shook my head, I had clearly missed something when I was at Hayley's drinking and I was glad, I didn’t want to be a part of all this death when I remembered something Hayley had said about me being a savage wolf. Could I really be that bad, it was oddly
Sapphire’s POV Taking that stupid Luna was too easy, she did not even try to put up a fight against me. I dumped her in an impenetrable cell near my altar, I needed her close by so when the time was right, she would be close enough and weak enough to move to the altar ready for her sacrifice to Mother Earth. Heading back to the Rising Moon’s pack that was Noah's and now technically mine now that he was dead. I needed to see which wolves were behind me and those that were not ready to follow my way would die. Arriving at the small town of Rising Moon, wolves were scattered about, many with bottles of alcohol, they all felt the pain when their Alpha Noah was killed in cold blood and were clearly trying to take the edge off. I had warned Noah to stay away from TJ until the potions were ready but surprise surprise once again he could not let her be. Noah still had not given up on TJ after all these years. He should never have taken her to that party if he was not
Alpha Erik’s POVMy legs give way making me drop to the floor, I let out a howl as TJ’s screams echoed across the grounds. My Beta Will appeared at my side trying to hoist me to my feet, it was to late the bond between TJ and I had been severed and I’m not even sure how, she is marked and has fully mated with me and didn’t reject me, had the witch killed her?The pain radiated through my body, my bones felt like they were being crushed by the very air surrounding me. Tears threatened to escape, which I desperately tried to hide from Will, I could not show any weaknesses.Will half carried me, half supported me as he led me to the pack house, I could hear him ordering wolves to search for clues whilst he dealt with me but he sounded so far away. I had heard about the pain that can be felt when a mate bond is severed, I wanted to be sick, I wanted to hide away from the world, I wanted to kill myself, I could not live without my love.
TJ’s POVI'm not sure how long I was sat here, there was no natural light so it could be day or night, but i spent the time contemplating what I could do. The bars burnt my hands anytime I tried to touch them, they healed fairly quickly afterwards but the longer I held the bars for the longer my wounds took to heal, as much as it hurt, I found it fascinating how fresh skin replaced the wounds so quickly . Sapphire hadn’t been back since earlier, I wasn’t annoyed or worried about it because I knew I had already surprised her with the information, she was probably busy trying to figure out her next steps.I remember that the prophecy is still folded up in my pocket and pull it out. I scan over it again and again.‘The Moon Goddess shall walk the land blessing those that surround her, just as she can bless the Moon Goddess will also condemn. Without her, the world as we know it will die and be reborn in a new age bringing enlightenment,
Will’s POVThere has to be something Erik is not telling me. Luna going missing again, when we find her I need to have a sit down with both of them, it feels like the Luna is hiding something from me too.The satisfaction of Alpha Erik having his teeth sunk into that witches shoulder was obvious in all us as we felt the Alphas pleasure of killing this witch who had caused harm to our pack.Luna TJ’s voice drifted into my head, I wasn’t even aware I could mind link her, I had been trying since she was taken but was constantly met with a wall. I was cautious, I had already been tricked by her once and it was not going to happen again. I had to be sure that it was not the witch.I asked her where she was too, and looked as she told me she was up the hill, when I looked for her, she was unmistakable, her red hair flowing in the wind.She told me to stop Erik, was she mad, this witch had been planning something for ages and had effecti
