Marly POV I had to admit, Elder John’s words terrified me. I was afraid of Carson being taken away from me at a moment’s notice. No warning. Just the showing up of his fated mate. I could not breathe if I spent too much time thinking about what that loss would feel like. Carson has assured me it will not happen, but I know life is not a guarantee. It can be cruel, and heartless. As I listened to the Elder’s words, I put my hand on Carson’s arm. I knew he was ready to destroy the Elder, but I wanted a chance to read him once again. I used our mind-link to share that with Carson. “Let me try to read him again,” I suggested, as Carson looked to me. “Are you certain?” he asked through our mind-link. “Yes, I need to know what he knows,” I reasoned as I took a step towards the Elder. “Going to try to read me again, Omega?” John taunted, as I looked at him calmly. “We both know I am not an Omega, no thanks to your betrayals,” I
Carson POV It had been a couple days since we had returned to the Full Moon Pack. Marly and I had been making up for lost time, just spending time together and managing the day-to-day pack business. Visiting my parent who were slowly but surely mending from years of abuse. But now, I recognized, it was time to address the demons in our midst. Primarily Elder John, Elder Timothy, Jenna and anyone else who was a threat to our happiness. Marly came up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist. Feeling her lips kiss my back, I smiled before turning around and holding her in my arms, “I missed you,” I murmured, my lips on hers. She chuckled, “You just saw me,” she reminded me. “It was a long wait,” I teased, as she kissed me back. I groaned against her lips, “As much as I want to continue this, we have things to deal with,” I reminded her. She growled softly, “Do we have to?” she asked. “We both know we do. We need to figure
Marly POV I stood there frozen in time. Just waiting. Watching for a sign. And suddenly I noticed a hole in the middle of the Rogue King’s forehead and blood dripping from it. As the Rogue King slumped forward, he had a look of shock on his face. Trapped in a moment of time where he lost his life. As he fell, I heard screaming from around the compound. They were screams of distress. A sound of those who had lost someone important to them. Suddenly I was surrounded by warriors with rage on their faces. I realized I was in more danger now that the Rogue King was dead. I held up my hands to try and talk reason with those surrounding me, but it was no use. They were distraught and did not know what to do now that their leader was gone. “Everybody, hear me out,” I heard from behind the crowd. Someone had stepped forward to grab my arms, pulling them behind my back. Alex had stepped forward, “You are safe now
Marly POV I felt the bullet hit my arm and I went down, with Alex covering my body. “Let me up,” I muttered as I removed the silver bullet from my arm. It had burned going in and being pulled out, but I had managed to remove the bullet on my own. These talents kept growing stronger and I wondered if it had anything to do with Alex being by my side. He looked down and was shaken when he saw the wound had been healed. “How did you do that?” he asked. “I have no idea, but I am grateful,” I responded, as we quickly took in the scene around us. The Rogue King was shouting at his warriors for shooting me. And he was trapped by staying within the walls of the compound not knowing what was happening. “Marly!?!” he yelled, “Tell me you are alive!” he shouted. I did not respond, nor did Alex. We did not want to calm the Rogue King and knowing I was alive would calm him down immediately. I knew some of our snipers had taken out the s
Carson POV I had said goodbye to a very calm Marly an hour ago. We were approaching the border as I reached out to Marly by our mind-link. “You understand, don’t you Marly?” I asked, needing assurance she was okay. “Of course, Carson. You are the strong man, and I am the weak, little woman you left behind,” she responded. I shook my head; there was the attitude I had expected earlier. “You know that is not true,” I responded, with a smile. “I know you are ridiculous to think you can shut me away every time things are dangerous,” she said cutting off our connection. What did she mean, “think I can shut her out”? She wouldn’t be following us, would she? I whipped around scanning the tree line, but I saw nothing. She was just trying to catch me off guard. I slowly turned back to the border. We were anticipating a potential ambush, so we had more than our share of warriors with us. We had also brought weapons, wanting to b
Marly POV I sat there listening to Alex go over everything with everyone. I could not help but feel sadness for him. Sadness that everyone was questioning his integrity. Questioning just how much he was going to do to help the Rogue King get what he has wanted all along. But I knew the truth. I knew Alex was good, and he would die trying to help get Carson’s mother back. But I could not let that happen. I would be going when they went to rescue Carson’s mother. I knew Carson would disagree, but I had already made my mind up. I would have to be there to help save anybody who was injured. I was getting stronger with my talents, and I knew I would be able to help faster being there. All the planning was done, and it was agreed we would leave after dark tonight. Carson had already identified his team of warriors and those who would go tonight. Of course, he did not include me. As everyone left the conferenc
