ANMELDENAme POV “What did you just say?” “The child, the Shadow Hunter’s heir….he is yours.” She repeats with such convincing conviction. “No that’s not possible, I would know…” I correct her. I would have felt something…a connection, something towards Athan. Besides he looks nothing like me. “Call Doctor Bind, he’ll confirm it. She got to him early…and the beta. Call him…” Her words stop me in my thoughts, how could she have known that…how could she have known Dessa got to Bind and Garrett. How can she invent a lie that is actually true. “I can’t.” “Why?” “Because he is dead,” “Dead?” “He was killed by poison….and I was framed for his murder. Tortured in fact…” With each parting word from my own lips I start to feel a puzzle being formed. Her words start to finally make impact deep within my inner consciousness, reaching my soul. Something recognises her words, something inside of me that I didn’t even know existed. “You were?” Lacey creeps along the bed, her eyes fixed on mine
Ame POV I don’t know what has happened to create it, but there has been a shift in my surrounding atmosphere. Gone is the tension from when I first stepped inside the small hospital, that intense suffocating ominous sensation has completely lifted. Now in its place is an almost uplifting environment. Don’t get me wrong, I can still feel eyes on me. Even the patients, they pretend not to look but I catch them staring when I turn suddenly to ensure I am not in any danger. I haven’t got a clue where Logan and the warriors are but Alpha Wilhelm ensured me they would remain unharmed. It’s weird, I’ve lost any mind-link connection to them but I can still feel the pack link between them…so I know they are safe. I’m sure Alpha Wilhelm has plenty to keep him busy, but he keeps a close distance to me…watching me as I move around the open ward assessing patient after patient. Every time I use a touch of my healing abilities I feel that omnious sensation return, like a heavy thunderclap. Th
Belgaire POV“That’s it Alpha, down there.” One of my trackers calls out from the seats behind, his device beeping as the driver slams his foot on the break. “You are certain?” I turn, viewing the device myself. With a one mile radius to work on, this isn’t the first dirt-track we have been down. “No, but it’s between this road or the one back there. I’m working on a hunch here.”“A hunch isn’t really reassuing me right now.” I grumble out, opening the tinted window to assess our surroundings. We are running out of ground to inspect and that tight ache in my chest is refusing to quit. I sniff the air around me, letting the scent of the surrounding vast forests invade my senses. This area is covered with pockets of individual forests, yet they are large in their own capacity. A perfect spot for a secret rogue settlement…no humans for miles. “It’s your call Alpha.” My driver waits for my response, his knuckles white as he grips onto the steering wheel. I look in the rear view mirro
Ame POV A growl radiates inside of me, my entire body vibrating from the aftershock she has caused. I don’t know how, but my wolf is preparing to slip through the well-armoured veil I have managed put back in place. But how… With panic now fuelling throughout me, my eyes shoot open to find a sharp blue navy pair staring back at me. I slowly pull myself up, conscious of mysurroundings…I do not know this place. I’ve never been in this room before. “You are in my alpha rooms. You passed out when healing the rogue female…” The alpha rogue stares at me as if I might burst into flames at any second. My eyes dart to his doorway, before looking down at myself to check I am still fully clothed. A grunt emits from him, my eyes catching him watching me as I loosely examine myself and my surroundings. His eyes change to that stormy colour, like thunderous clouds holding unsaid words. I’ve never dealt with another alpha, it has always been Calian’s father, Calian or Belgaire. Not this clos
Wilhelm POV She’s a strange little thing. For someone so small she holds a lot of power. Power, she hasn’t even fully tapped into. I thought the old folk tales of the healer were just something told to children at bedtime. That a being with that level of power would never truly exist. However, as I started to research myself, I found evidence of sightings, of previous medical records that stated differently. When I received word from one of my spies, who had pretended to resettle at the Savage Fangs pack, that that the healer in fact alive and is a member of Belgaire’s pack. I had to investigate for myself; I had to see this creature with my own eyes. The old written scrolls had been flaky on the gender of the healer, leading me to believe the healer is always a male. I wasn’t expecting a female, let alone the most beautiful female to ever exist in the universe. I may only have rogue women to compare to, but even amongst the elite of the werewolf community…she outshine
Belgaire POV I’ve been outside for an hour waiting for the Shadow Hunters warriors to arrive. My entire team is assembled, ready to follow the tracked vehicles at my word. I must presume that this Alpha Wilhelm knows the vehicles will have trackers on them, which means I need to prepare for an ambush.But I cannot leave Ame in potential danger, it pains me to not even know what state she is in. Whether he is already forcing her to heal against her will.Vehicles speed down the small road towards the alpha house, the guards informing me moments ago of Calian’s arrival.“Took you fucking long enough!” I grunt out as soon as Calian exits from his car, his men pulling up behind him.“I was in the middle of something when you called.”“You could have just sent your men you know.”“You made it sound as if her life is in danger.”“And that would matter to you?” I scoff out, what a fucking joke.“She’s my wife, isn’t she?” He seethes out to me, his warriors now flanking either side of him.
Ame POV I settle into my new accommodation inside the large pack house. This was always where the single wolves were housed, until they paired off and were moved to individual pack houses…where they could start a family home.I’m only just realising that not once did I step inside this building.
Ame POVJust hearing my name on his tongue sends shockwaves of hatred throughout my body, the memory of my wolf teddy flashing through my mind. The moment I realised he had doused it in wolfsbane to kill me…the excruciating burn spreading on my chest as the poison takes me...The hairs on the back
Ame POV “I’ve been looking for you.” She finally continues, taking a step closer, her eyes flickering between the both of us. She’ll deny it but she will have felt the tension around us, the charged space that carried an oppressive weight to it. Thunderclaps just waiting to explode. “What is go
Calian POVIt’s her, I’m convinced it is Ame.She’s different…in appearance…in the way she holds herself…so much taller, stronger. She may have dyed her hair, may be wearing contacts…but I know in my heart of hearts it is my wife.As I pulled Balgaire aside in the hospital room, he didn’t confirm
