Chapter 31

POV Thea The pack buzzed excitedly at the arrival of Paula’s family. Strange to think how open everyone was to the idea that she had a whole other life outside of Omega Gavin. Amira and I got tasked with arranging the grandchildren’s rooms. We jumped at the opportunity to get out of the pack house. The Alpha and Luna have been a little over bearing. I know losing Eric has made them overly cautious but the mere fact that Omega Gavin died near us doesn’t necessarily put us at risk. Candice and Brent made the decision to quickly for me. They didn’t even think about letting me stay home. Now Amira and I are basically on lock down. We can’t leave the house even to go to school without warriors with us. Amira likes to pretend we are royalty who needs guards to protect us. Leaving it to her to find a way to make it fun. It wasn’t much but Alpha Aiden wanted to put them up in a few empty houses down the road from the pack house. Overall it would be small for as many people as were

Chapter 32

POV Joann Thomas pushed a connection with Aiden and I. “You’re going to want to see this.” He said before cutting the connection. A few minutes later we could hear Thomas pull up. Aiden and I waited in the kitchen, Thomas was never really one for surprises so we weren’t sure what to expect. The caravan of Black Moon pack should arrive any time now. I was hopeful that he had finally found his mate, he is so dedicated and devoted to this pack. He deserves to find his own happiness. With Paula’s family coming we had wanted to set up a dinner or casual party in case any of them or the warriors escorting them had mates here. Hopefully as Paula got better we could arrange something but as of now it would be in poor taste. The front door opened and I could hear Thomas tell someone we were in the kitchen. A deep gravely voice replied. “I know the way.” Aiden and I looked at each other before a massive figure appeared in the doorway. He had to crouch down to avoid hitting his head

Chapter 33

POV Thea Walking into the pack house the smell hit me first. Luna’s amazing cooking filled the house with delicious smells but that wasn’t what had my mouth watering. Coming around the corner first I saw Luna Joann but the man behind her made my heart stop. Time froze the second I heard him growl “Mate.” Amira snapping me back to reality when she elbowed me making a clicking noise as she popped her tongue off the roof of her mouth. “Nice!” Is all she said. “Do you wake up thinking of ways to embarrass me?” I asked. My face turning red. “Most days but this one just fell in my lap.” She beamed as she grabbed the bags I had dropped. He went to move towards me but the Luna stopped him with her palm against his chest. Her hand looked like a child’s against his brood chest. “Eric wait, she’s not yet 18. She can’t know you’re her mate yet.” Joann said sternly. Eric growled loudly before looking down at Luna Joann. “I understand mother.” “Eric?” Selova. “I told you he was rea

Chapter 34

POV Thea We didn’t make it to the gate before Jason wanted answers. “So what are we really up to?” He asked. “If I tell you do you promise not to make fun of me?” I asked. “Absolutely not, that would be against my nature.” He held his hand up to his heart. “I promise to relentlessly make fun of you any chance I get until the day I die!” “I have grown to expect nothing less.” I told him. “I want to get Eric some clothes. I know it’s stupid but he saved me. I’ve been living with his pack and his family this whole time while he went through…” My mind drifted off as I looked out the window thinking of the deep scars that covered his body. “We don’t know what happened to him but he could be my mate. At least he’s sure he is and I know it’s nothing compared to what he’s done for me but it’s something.” Jason didn’t say anything just continued to look at the road as we passed the gates. “You think it’s dumb don’t you?” I asked. For once he didn’t have a smart ass comment. His fac

Chapter 35

POV Joann My head was still spinning. Could Thea really be Eric’s mate? As if today couldn’t get more overwhelming. Paula’s family arrived shortly after Thea and Jason left the territory. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was definitely a relief when they arrived. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had blamed us for Paula’s disappearance but on the contrary they were just relieved that we had contacted them. Beta Sebastian lead the way as is customary. They all bore a striking resemblance to Paula. Her dark brown hair, olive complexion and hazel eyes passed down in one way or another to her children and grandchildren. Her mate David on the other hand looked completely out of place. His long dark brownish red hair put back in a neat braid that came to the middle of his back. His full red beard did nothing to hide his bright freckles against his pale skin. I laughed to myself. Paula was always nice but never very friendly. She seemed quite and reserved but her family to

Chapter 36

POV Thea When we got back to the car my phone was blinking. I had missed a call from Luna Joann. I sent her a quick text message. “On our way back now. Sorry I left my phone in the car.” My phone instantly buzzed. “Glad you’re ok. I was getting worried. Dinner is at seven.” She messaged back. Looking at the time, we had over an hour to get back. Returning just before dark, it was obvious that Paula’s family had arrived by the four cars parked in front of the pack house with out of state plates. Although I was happy for Paula to have her family here I had to admit I didn’t want to stay in a house filled with strangers. Jason sensing my hesitation. “Do you want to go home first?” “That would be great. I really like to shower and change clothes before we have to meet all these people.” Pulling up to the house Brent and Candice were home. I left the bags in the car and went inside. Candice greater me with a smile and a hug. “How is sleeping at the pack house?” She asked.

Chapter 37

POV Joann Paula had confessed that Omega Gavin had been the one harassing Thea all these years. We had already assumed as much from what we found stashed in his hidden tree. By far the most confusing confession is when she told me she killed him. I didn’t want to believe it. Her shy demeanor made it hard to believe that she would murder her husband. Alpha Aiden and I sat in his office while she recalled every gruesome detail. From dragging his body to the stream and how she killed him. Everything lining up with Dr. Stevenson’s findings and the reports from those at the area. Eric stood calmly at her side, one hand resting on her shoulder. Softly encouraging her through the process. I could feel Aiden swelling with pride at how Eric was handling the situation. For once I wished we didn’t have such a deep connection because I knew he could feel my apprehension. This all felt wrong. Paula went on to explain how Iris had snapped. She couldn’t remember the details be knew she

Chapter 38

POV Aiden Joann was nervous about having to decide Paula’s fate. I squeezed her hand hoping to sooth her but it didn’t seem to help. Eric watched over Paula. My heart filled with pride watching him look after her. Reassuring her through every part of her confession. He was going to be a better Alpha then I ever could have dreamt. My head filling with thoughts of starting his Alpha training. Soon I would get to see him fight, could he beat Miss Evens and Zandra. They had remained undefeated despite Thea and Selova’s many attempts. I had tuned out the conversation completely until Eric handed Paula a tissue and said something about her family. Shortly afterwards Joann left the room. Paula wrapped her tiny arms around Eric’s waistline before quickly following after her. Eric walked over to me, a full head taller, I had to look up at him. Placing his hand on my shoulder. “Paula and Iris will be fine now. I spoke with Iris and she understands the consequences of such behavior.”

Chapter 39

POV Thea The darkness is damp, smelling of mold with a hint of sulfur. Warm light grows in front of me and three faces are uncovered by the light. I know these faces but who are they? The woman’s voice sounds like music, she reaches over picking me up and setting me on her lap. She smiles sweetly, kissing my temple before fixing my little pink shoe. The girl hands me a piece of food, I happily take it and wiggle my feet while I eat it. They all laugh and smile, the man kisses my forehead and the girl holds my hand. Voices can be heard but they are far away. I tiny pinpoint of light appears. The man looks at a white light that is slowly getting bigger. The girl runs towards the light while the man whispers. “Hide now.” I know that voice but I can’t place it. Wrapping her arms around me the woman picks me up and I feel my shoulder scrap something hard. “Ouch.” I say. “Quite sweetheart. No matter what, you stay here and be quiet. Ok? Mommy loves you.” She says forcing

Chapter 40

POV Thea I lay in the darkness, the floor stripping the heat down to my bones. Sleep is a distant memory from another place. I dare not fall asleep. Every time I drift off I’m back in that cave. Listen to the screams of what I now know is my family. Trapped in endless darkness when I’m awake and unending suffering if I dare sleep. I beg Sel not to heal me, let the darkness and cold swallow me. If this is my life now then let it end. My mind drifts to Eric. How could he do this to me? If I am his mate, how could he want this for me? Was this his life all those years? My heart hurts just thinking of what happened before I ended up here. Walking through the trees in the moonlight. Holding my hand, Eric stopped me with a gentle pull. Turning me to face him, it felt like he looked at me forever. I could see his wolf in his eyes. It felt like his soul touched mine when he kissed me. Then everything went dark. A click and hum signals the lights have come on somewhere in the giant roo
