“Not a chance.” I growl.

Cain growls back slamming his first onto the desk.

“She’s been with him for years. With their Pack.” I state like we haven’t been through this a dozen times already.

“She’s clearly not racing to get back to him though, is she?” Cain replies. “Aren’t you even curious to know why?”

I shake my head. Though deep down it’s a lie. Of course I want to know. I want to know everything about her, but those thoughts, those needs won’t help us right now. We are at war. We’ve already lost more Wolves this year than the last two combined. I don’t have time to be selfish, I don’t have time to indulge my own desires. I need to act like an Alpha. We both need to.

“We could at least give her a decent room and not a cell.” Cain says and I feel a pang of guilt. To know she’s down there, in the dark, that we’re the ones treating her like that.

I clench my fists to suppress the wave of anger that rushes through me.

“We have no choice, Cain.” I state. “If we treat her any differently, we’ll show our hand. We have to treat her like she’s the enemy because that’s what she is. She was with the Crimson Shadow Pack for long enough.”

Cain scowls. “She’s our mate.” He says stating the word out loud and we both gulp.

Our mate. Our fucking mate.

Of all the tricks the Moon Goddess has played this has got to be the most ironic. That after years of waiting, searching, longing, finally we find her - only to realise we can’t keep her, that we have to hand her back. We have to give her to that filthy fucking Mutt and act like she’s nothing.

“It is what it is.” I say getting up. I can’t because just looking at my brother right now feels like a betrayal. We’re turning our back on the one person we should be protecting. But we’re Alphas. We don’t have any choice. We have to put our Pack first. We have to put their needs above ours. And if handing this girl over means we’re no longer at war then that’s what we have to do. Because I’ll be damned if I spend another minute consoling one of my Pack while their loved one lies dead before us.

I walk out of the office, heading right and up the stairs when in reality all I want to do is storm down them, smashing open that god damn cell and scoop her up. Scoop my mate up and then clean all that dirt off her, soothe her, tell her she’s safe now and treat her the way she deserves to be treated.

Only, I can’t do that.

I know I can’t.

    “She means well but she will get you into trouble.” Cain says as he holds my hand.I don’t say anything, I just let him lead me wherever he wishes and when we stop outside a door I don’t recognise, I frown.He opens, it holding it for me. I walk in and freeze. It’s a bedroom. Not my bedroom though. I look at Cain. He runs his eyes over me and I gulp.“This is my room, Rosalie.” He says, shutting the door.I stare at the carpet. Somehow, I didn’t see this coming. He’s standing in front of me now. He brushes my hair back, tucking it behind my ear.“You’re so beautiful.” He murmurs.I don’t respond. I don’t do anything. After the other day with Aeron, I don’t want to make Cain angry with me too.“Look at me.”I lift my eyes to his and he’s watching my face with a strange expression. He steps back, kicking his shoes off, and walks to lie down on his bed.“Come here.” He says.I shut my eyes for a moment, letting out a silent sigh, then walk over to lie beside him. He tilts his head, still

  • The Lycan Legacy   Chapter Twenty - Rosalie

    Two days later, I’m in the Kitchens. I’m meant to be with Aeron again, but I guess he doesn’t want to see me today. I must have really angered him.Because I have nothing else to do, I’m baking some pastries. They’re pretty easy. I know the recipe off by heart and as I roll the pistachio and honey in between sheets, I can see even Dylan liking his lips.“Would you like some? I need a taster.” I say.He shakes his head. “Chances are you’ve poisoned them.” He states and I laugh.“Here, look.” I say picking one up and eating it to prove they’re edible.“Laced it with wolfsbane no doubt.” He says and we both laugh.“I’ll take one if Dylan’s too stubborn.” A woman says and I half jump at the sound.“Layla.” Dylan says, with a distinct tone to his voice.“Dylan.” She replies, with a smirk before she looks at me.“You must be the human.” She says.“Yes.” I reply hesitantly.“I hear my brothers have been more than a little preoccupied with you.” She says running her eyes over me and I frown.

  • The Lycan Legacy   Chapter Nineteen - Rosalie

    I spend the next day with Aeron. Apparently, they really are taking it in turns.Dylan makes sure I’m up early and fed and then he takes me through to what I can only assume is the actual Pack House and to Aeron’s office.I’m wearing some leggings and a jumper that I suspect belongs to him. It certainly smells like him.I sit there, in the corner trying not to distract him while he works. He doesn’t look at me. He doesn’t acknowledge me. He barely glanced at me when I walked in. I don’t really get why I’m even here but I don’t say anything I just sit, quiet, obedient, waiting for when he decides to grace me with his attention.I’ve had years of pretending I don’t exist, of daydreaming, of mentally entertaining myself while god knows what is going on around me, so the hours pass by in relatively quick succession.A Wolf knocks on the door and walks in. He looks over at me curiously and Aeron growls at him. His eyes quickly flash back to the Alpha.“Do you have the plans?” Aeron asks.T

  • The Lycan Legacy   Chapter Eighteen - Rosalie

    Dylan escorts me down to the Kitchens an hour later by which point I’m actually ravenous. He points out the fruit bowl that is more than obvious and lets me know where the cereals and plates are.“Can I cook something?” I ask and he shrugs. He’s clearly in a huff this morning.I take it as a yes and start searching for a pan as well as all the ingredients and start cooking before he can say anything more.“Do you want some?” I ask when I’ve finished pilling it all onto a plate. I always make too much but, with French toast, it’s hard not to.“Are you trying to bribe me with food girl?” He asks.I smirk. “I guess it depends on the quality of the food.” I state and he snorts.He picks up a slice eyeing it with suspicion and then bites into it. His eyes widen just a little and then he wolfs the rest down. “Not bad.” He mutters and I laugh.“Liar.” I mutter under my breath.He throws me a look because obviously he’s heard me and I make a point of ignoring him by pouring maple syrup onto m

  • The Lycan Legacy   Chapter Seventeen - Rosalie

    I wake in the morning, and I swear I’ve never slept better in my life. The duvet is so snug around me and for a moment, I could believe I’m actually happy.I mean, sure I dreamt about them again. The god damn Alphas and the things my mind imagined them doing to me is enough to make me blush. It feels like my skin is tingling, like they were actually here, all night, with their mouths caressing me and their hands touching every inch of my flesh.Jesus Rosalie, get a grip. I think.I roll over and my eyes lock with his. Cain’s. I let out a shriek and he chuckles.“Morning beautiful.” He says.I move so quickly yanking the duvet up and pushing myself against the headboard. I’m suddenly now very aware that those dreams have absolutely coated my thighs. I’m a mess. Again.He watches me almost lazily. He’s fully dressed, in a tight t-shirt and black jeans, laying on the bed as if everything about this is perfectly normal Alpha behaviour. “I was thinking we should watch a movie.” He says.“W

  • The Lycan Legacy   Chapter Sixteen - Rosalie

    Cain was right, I do need a bath. I need to wash. To scrub myself. To get the stench of the last few days off me and try to get some semblance of control over what the hell I’m doing.I walk into the bathroom and thank god there’s a lock on the door. I throw off my clothes, Aeron’s and Cain’s clothes technically, and while the bath is filling I get in the shower and let it wash away the residual dirt. The water that comes off is literally black with dirt and I wonder how disgusting I must seem to these people, these Wolves.I brush my hair, easing out the knots at first and eventually just get so frustrated I grab it all up and almost hack at it with the brush in my annoyance to fix it. If there were a pair of scissors nearby I’d be tempted to actually cut it off but there’s nothing. No sharp objects. Nothing that could do me harm or anyone else for that matter.I guess in this moment I should be grateful that Silas had my entire body lasered so I don’t have any body hair because ther
