Book 1: Chapter Forty-One
*** Solaris POV ***
Finn whistled and I peaked my head out of the workout room. “Beta is here.”
My eyes narrowed and I grabbed my shirt I had discarded on some of the workout equipment. I also snagged a towel and wiped my face, hanging it around my shoulders before walking out into the bar. Sure enough, Nate was standing awkwardly in the entry to the bar. His hands were shoved in his pockets and his shoulders were hunched over. As I walked up, he looked up at me, dark circles under his eyes.
“I’m glad you’re up and about. Honestly, I expected you to be holed up for a few more days.” I smiled but he didn’t smile back.
“Aelia, I need to talk to you.”
I hummed. “Sure. You want to go into town? I’ve got a hankering for some food. We could go have dinner.”
Noah walked down the stairs. “Sol…”
“I’m fine today. Relax. I’ve had enough recovery time. Plus, I’m not gonna be out all night, Dad.”
Noah grumble

It didn’t quell his anger. In fact, it only made it worse. Wren was starting to show more and I could see him struggling with keeping control. Sighing, I reached out and put my hand on his fist. It seemed to work, his shoulders slumping as he looked at my hand. “I don’t understand.” “You keep saying that. Some things we aren’t supposed to understand. Some things are out of our control and some things we can only do our best to help them along. I want to help, Nate. I would love to get to know the man you have become. At least reach a semblance of a friendship before I leave.” He shook his head, filling up the wine glass again. “How? How am I supposed to just ignore you? Ignore our bond? We were made for each other. You knew that from the beginning. Why would you throw that all away?” “I’m not throwing it away! Goddess, why can’t you get it through that thick head of yours? I’m dying!” “I understand that!” I caught his eyes and stared h

The face I was staring into was one I hadn’t seen before. Not from Nate. My heart hammered in my chest as I felt at his mercy. His hand pushed my right wrist into the brick but it was the hand on my hip that hurt. Wincing, I tried to move but it was hard even to bring my left arm to rest on his. “Nate…please…you’re hurting me…” “You aren’t strong enough to fight me, are you?” His words made me swallow hard. They were deep, angry and threatening. The problem was that they were true too. My leg was already getting worse and my arm basically just rested on his arm, unable to do much more than that. “What are you doing?” “You’re wrong.” He came in close, our breaths mixing with each other. “You are wrong, Aelia.” I suddenly was very aware that not only was my phone in my back pocket, but I hadn’t put the crystal back on. It wouldn’t remove the feeling of the bond as he touched me but it would have at least dulled the scent. My chest rose a

*** Silas POV *** My eyes peeled open and I looked over to my nightstand at the disturbance that woke me up. It’s was my phone that was vibrated on the dark wood. Someone was actually calling me, which meant it was most likely Charles. I closed my eyes, it could wait till later. I had gone to bed around three in the morning after Sam slammed a giant request for a new building within the town. It required a completely teardown and rebuild which was crazy. Not just that but they requested it within a stupid short amount of time. It took six hours to just go through all the information and quotes for everything. Whatever time it was, it was too early. I started to fall back asleep once the vibrating stopped when suddenly it started up again. Growling, I sat up and snagged my phone. “What?” “Morning, Silas.” Groaning, I rubbed my eyes. “What time is it?” “Just after eight. I just got into work.” Sighing, I leaned bac

Charles pursed his lips. “I mean, assaulting a woman and a police office is a big deal. Especially since backup had to be called and we now have multiple documentations of it. It’s not something I can let slide. He will have to go to court. If Solaris and Mitch don’t press charges, we may be able to wiggle our way out of jail time and into some hours of community service. But that’s a big if. What about you?”“If he did try to mark her, it’s something I’m technically supposed to report to the Alpha King. He’s supposed to be turned over to them for punishment. They handle it and send him back. It’s rape, attempted or not, in our packs. It’s taken very seriously.”“Well fuck.”We sat in silence for a while. Both of us were mulling over our own thoughts.“How long do you need to hold him?”“Well, it will have to be until the confirm whether or not to

The hostility I felt was palpable as Noah and Finn realized it was me who walked through the door. It made the hair on the back of my neck raise and I wondered if I should just turn around now. I could hear Eros chuckling in the back of my head so I just steeled myself by squaring me shoulder and trying to look the Alpha I was.“I need to speak with her.”Noah scoffed. “Why the hell should we even let you near her? Your fucking Beta…”“I know what my Beta did.” I growled at him. “I am also aware they are fated mates and shit hit the fan. Which is why I need to speak with her. She’s not just someone my Beta got involved with. Aelia is my sister.”Finn smirked and put a hand on Noah’s shoulder. “Sol is up the stairs. It…took a lot out of her yesterday and she’s struggling a bit today.” A sadness washed over his face, one that also flashed in Noah’s eyes as well

Charles was waiting for me when I got to the station. We went over the paperwork and the details of the conditions of the bail. Once I signed and paid, Charles motioned for one of the other guys to bring Nate out.“So they managed to squeeze in the court date really soon. Sometimes they can take months to get a date but I think it’s because they know it’s not someone who lives in town, they are expediting it. It helps too that no one is pressing charges.”“When is it?”“Two weeks from Thursday. It should be short.”I saw Nate walk down the hall, his head bowed low as he shuffled after the officer that had gone to get him. “Do we know the range of what could happen?”Charles shrugged. “I mean we are looking at least some serious community service, maybe some therapy time? On the other end we are looking at hard time. I don’t think it would be much but it could. You never know wi

*** Solaris POV ***The bathtub was cool against my back as I leaned against it. I’d been sitting on the floor of the bathroom for at least a couple hours. Every so often wrenching into the toilet. Today was the day I was giving Nate his punishment. I’d woken up early in a cold sweat and whatever strength I had gained back over the last couple of weeks seemed to leave me. Reaching up, I grabbed the cold wet cloth and put it on my head, closing my eyes.“Sol…”My eyes peeled open to see Finn crouched down, looking at me with both pity and worry.“I’ll be fine. Just…I need a minute.”“I know, sweetheart. I know.” He rubbed my shoulders and I sighed.Noah leaned against the doorway. “You sure you want to do this, Sol? There are other ways.”“If I don’t do this, then he’ll take th

My old man wanted it to be a public display but Nate wouldn’t have been able to keep his position, let alone keep my name out of it since I was his mate. The whole pack knew Nate and I were mates and that he was still searching for me. That complicated matters but I used it to my advantage. We would have a collection of people to witness.Silas and Sam would have to be there as leadership. Meredith requested to be there, citing she would be Shep’s assistant as he was going to be there as the medical team. No one else knew who I was so it worked out better. Charles had to be there per the court order and I hoped he would be okay. It was going to be hard to swallow as just a wolf but for a human this wouldn’t be allowed. Noah, Finn, the two Kings Guards and I were all that would be present. I preferred it this way and honestly, I knew part of me may have to use my power to get through this.“Sol.”I looked up and Noah had parked in fr
