LOGIN~Katarina~I’m not sure that was how things were supposed to go. What would you have me do, Hope? She’s a threat to our child, to our family. Was I supposed to ignore that and play nice?We could have at least gotten the whole story before locking her up. I sigh, knowing that Hope is right. The plan was to go to her room and talk to her. I had no intention of getting aggressive or locking her up. The moment I put my eyes on her, I just couldn’t help it. The premonition kept running through my mind, and I couldn’t ignore the emotions that came from that. I walk into the office and throw myself on the couch. I stare up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh. “Can I take it that things didn’t go well?” I don’t move from my spot, not wanting to face my mate. “Katarina?” I swallow and shift my body. I want to be comfortable, but I don’t think that’s possible under the circumstances. I feel the couch shift under me as his heat covers me completely. As soon as I feel the sparks on my arm
~Danny~I feel like I’ve been walking on eggshells lately, and it’s all because of that stupid phone. It isn’t the phone so much as what it represents. It’s a tie to him, to the man who sent me here to disrupt people’s lives. It’s a tie to the man who has my brother’s life in his hands, and I can’t figure out a way to make that not the case. I sigh and sit up in bed, willing myself to move. I need to make my call, and I find it’s better to do so during the day. So many people are out and about, taking care of different things. I make my calls knowing that no one will come here to bother me. I haven’t been announced to the pack yet, so I have no official capacity here. I have no duties that I have to fulfill, and I’m practically on house arrest. My mate doesn’t come to see me, so I’m pretty much left to my own devices. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed, letting my feet touch the floor. I really don’t want to do this, I really don’t want to see his face or hear his voice. Ever
“I saw what she plans to do. She wants to take Skye away from us. We brought her into our home and took care of her. She’s mated to our Beta. I don’t understand how she could be so cruel.” Selene shakes her head.“You speak as if she’s already done that dirty deed. I must remind you that nothing has happened yet.” I say nothing, the anger still coursing through me. “Remember the premonition you had about your mate’s death?” My mind goes back to that time, and I shudder. I remember having to live through that. I was terrified that the happiness I just found would be taken away from me so soon. I didn’t even care about what I saw happening to me; I was just worried about Aston. “The images you saw didn’t happen, did they?”My mind replays everything, including the choi
~Katarina~I run through the woods, my feet not moving fast enough. I’d much rather have Hope make this journey, but she’s struggling right now. Our pup is gone, and Hope is going feral. I continue through the woods, chasing the scent that was left behind. The scent is familiar, and I know who it belongs to. I have to hope that I can get to them before they get too far. I feel a crowd of people following me. I know that they are chasing me through the woods to give me support. I stay focused on the road ahead. I can’t afford to cut my focus because I might lose my chance to get my child back. I jump over a fallen log and duck under a hanging branch. My lungs are squeezing, and my breath is coming out in short spurts. I want to stop moving… I want to stand still and catch my breath. I can’t do that, I can’t stop. I find another burst of energy and push forward. I burst through a canopy of leaves and branches and find myself stumbling into an open field. Ahead, I see a group of wolv
~Dominic~I haven’t seen Danny since we spoke, and I hate it. I’m trying to give her time to settle into this pack’s day-to-day life. Well, that’s only a partial truth. When it comes down to it, I’m hoping that she feels comfortable enough here to tell me what she’s hiding.I hate to accuse my mate of anything, I do. I just know what I feel, and I feel that she’s hiding something from me. I have to make this pack’s safety my priority, and the only way to do that is to get to the truth. I won’t make the same mistakes I made before. I did some horrible things, and I never want to repeat that.Mate. I sigh and close my eyes. Battling Gideon has been a special hell. All he wants to do is get close to our mate. I get him, I truly do, but I just can’t do that right now. I need to be sure that she’s safe for this pack, my family.A clap on my back makes me focus.
~Brackston~Weirdly enough, my wolf and I feel settled after the call with Jamorea. I don’t know what it is about her, but she calms me. I felt that the moment I met her, I knew that I couldn’t let her out of my sight, no matter what.I sit back in the chair and rest my hands on my desk. I know that I told her to check in every day, but if I’m being honest, that won’t be enough. I need to see her more than a video will allow. I need to be in her presence. It’s going to be hard to do that since she’s over there.I need her in that pack, securing my human weapon more than I need to see her. I wish I could have both, right now, but I don’t have that option. I know I should wait, but that hasn’t really been my forte, no matter how many years have passed.I push away from my desk and rise to my feet. I may not have a long-term solution to my problems, but in the short term, I could use some fresh air.
“I… I…” I let a growl rip through the room. I can’t stand someone who takes forever to say what they need to say. He’s a young man and has no idea what a man is like. It’s disgusting to think that she thought she could raise him. When I tie her to me, I will make sure I take over raising him into
~Dominic~There it is. It wasn’t the question I was hoping to avoid, but everything that comes with it. This is the part where I can tell a massive lie and make myself feel better and look good in the immediate, or I can tell the truth and risk losing her forever. I don’t know why, but I thought th
~Dominic~As much as I want her to tell me what’s going on, I really can’t blame her for not doing so. I personally think she’s exaggerating, but what would I know? I plan to watch her for a while, but I don’t think I will need to do that for too long. Watching Danny try to walk away from me has b
~Dominic~She’s awake, my fated mate is awake. She’s awake, and she’s right down the hall. She’s in the hospital room down the hall and…. And she’s awake, yeah, we got that. I close my eyes, slowing my movements. I’ve been in the waiting room for a while now. I’ve been pacing and agonizing. I have
