The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 31: The White Wolf
RomanThe next morning, I wake up late. I still feel mentally exhausted after everything that I learned last night.Sawyer. The man I thought was my friend. The man I grew up with, who grew up with Theo, betrayed us. If Samara hadn’t shown me the evidence from her memory, I’m not sure I would have ever believed it.Overnight, the grief has turned to rage and fury. The man I considered one of my best friends will die for what he did to Theo and his family. He will die for putting Samara through everything that she has suffered.Samara. I smile, pulling my mate closer to me. I not only found her, finally giving myself some peace after nine long years, but the woman is mine. No wonder she knew who I was at the Alpha meeting. I probably look very similar to the seventeen-year-old she remembers. She, however, looks very different from the gangly nine-year-old that I remember. The tomboy has matured into the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen in my life. Intelligent, strong, and beautiful. S
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 30: Next Steps
SamaraAfter that, Roman started searching for me, but my trail was so trampled he couldn’t find it to follow me. He searched every pack in the north and many in the south, just not those as far south as I had managed to go. Through his memories, I can see where the other packs learned to fear him. His demand to search the packs for me was not to be denied. If he was, he’d attack the pack, killing the Alpha if necessary, and search for me anyway. It seems that word spread quickly and most Alphas became very accommodating very quickly when Roman showed up at their borders.Through his memories, I can feel his devastation, his feelings of failure every time he didn’t find me. He let’s me see his memories of Teddy’s first birthday after he was killed and how he’d spent that day much like he’d spent today, holed up in his room, drinking and telling Teddy how sorry he was that he’d failed him.‘But I promise you I won’t give up. I will never give up until I find her and I avenge your death.
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 29: Shared Grief
SamaraI was glad Roman was distracted today. I could tell something was wrong but today is a hard day for me. It’s Teddy’s birthday. I don’t know why Althea and I were never as close as Teddy and I were. The ten-year age difference probably had a lot to do with it, but Althea was always out with friends or dreaming of becoming a Luna. She didn’t want me chasing after her and her friends. And, in truth, at my young age, I didn’t care about make-up and boys. Teddy and Roman were much more fun, exploring the forest and getting into mischief. And Teddy never seemed to mind me chasing after him and his friends. I still mourn on Althea’s and my parents' birthdays, but it’s not the same as it is with Teddy. He was my best friend and my hero.I was surprised when Roman didn’t say anything about my longer than usual run. He only said he wanted to make sure I ate. I tried. I ate as much as I could in our room, then I just stared out the window, watching the day go by and images and memories of
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 28: Samara
RomanI let her go, watching her walk to the kitchen to get food before returning to my office. There’s another plate of food waiting for me in my office, the breakfast plate having been removed while I was talking to Samantha. I need to remember to thank my pack for looking after me on these days. I know it’s hard for them, feeling my grief. I try to shield it from them as much as possible, but as their Alpha, there’s no way to shield it from them completely.I ignore the food and pour another glass of whiskey, pushing the information on Theo aside and pulling up the information on Samara.I go through everything, frustrated when I can’t find anything new, any new leads that could help me to find her. When I finally stand, frustrated and angry, I realize it’s dark outside. I go pour another glass of whiskey and walk to the windows, staring outside.“You must be so disappointed in me, my friend. I know I am,” I say to the empty room.I don’t know how long I’ve been standing there when
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 27: Theo's Birthday
RomanThe last couple of weeks with Samantha have been incredible. Yeah, she still gets snarky with me and she has no problem doing it in front of the pack. But I love that side of her just as much as I love the sweet side that comes to find me after she returns from letting Ayla run.At first, I could see she was embarrassed coming to kiss me, but by the third or fourth day, she’d run around the packhouse until she found me and leapt into my arms. As often as she gets snarky with me in front of the pack, I make sure to kiss her into oblivion in front of the pack. I want them to know that while she hasn’t agreed to be mine, she isn’t fighting me any longer.I have also taken full advantage of kissing her. I kiss her before she goes for her morning run. I kiss her breathless when she returns, happy and laughing. I kiss her at every mealtime. I sneak up behind her and kiss her neck when she’s not looking just so I can feel the shivers that run through her body, and I kiss her at night wh
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 26: Warrior Training
SamaraI have no idea what came over me. Okay, yes I do and it’s more than just the mate bond. I might already be addicted to the way Roman kisses me. His mouth feels so perfect against mine, so soft and warm, and if I’m being honest with myself, loving. I can feel the love that Roman has for me through his kiss. It’s like he pours his entire being into the kiss. I don’t know much about sex, but I do know that if we ever get to that stage of our relationship, I’m positive I’ll be overwhelmed by him. If he puts this much of himself into a kiss, I can't imagine how much he'll pour himself into our love-making.So, for him to agree that I can let Ayla run alone AND I get kisses out of it, it’s a win-win for me.‘For us. I like the way he kisses us too. I can’t wait until I can have time with Pierce,’ Ayla says.‘I know.’ Roman is making it nearly impossible to NOT trust him.After another amazing kiss from Roman, he leads me back downstairs to warrior training. I’ve watched warriors train
