Whatever that blood oath or unbreakable vow was, it was damn powerful. Khalid tried to hide it, to keep me from feeling it, but I did. It was draining as fuck, and just like how his sister needed Kurt to keep her standing, he’s lucky I caught him and got him back to the sofa. I tried to lend him some more of my strength. Otherwise, he will fall asleep here and now while we are in the middle of some seriously heavy shit. Heavy in the sense that Kurt has a half-sibling in the care of his enemy Noya. I can see how that would be a huge liability for both parties. However, it does give us a better advantage. Kurt is older and therefore capable of controlling his link to this child. The child has just come of age and won’t know how to keep Kurt out consistently. So while the liability of being traced is, there is something more problematic. This child is possibly the product of Kurt’s father and his true mate, which to many would mean they have a stronger claim to the title—making them a v

While we waited for word from Isis in her quest to retrieve the Argylls scepter from a Kinsley vault at the bank, Aunt Sarael caught me up on other things that have been happening while I was running for my life and in hiding with Dani. We talked about her wolf Nova and the rock on her ringer finger. I guess I missed a lot while I was running away and in hiding with Dani. Before long, we were called to the packhouse as there was a new development. I was not too fond of the idea of leaving Dani. Even with all the assurances in the world, she was perfectly safe sleeping at Isis’ apartment. But I left after making sure she was asleep and kissing her goodbye, earning myself a half-awake eye roll for disturbing her. We were directed into a large living room, where I can only assume every ranked wolf person and their guards were present, given how packed the room was. Aunt Sarael had me sit beside her while we waited for everyone else. When Isis entered, I stood up to greet her but was for

It’s crazy the amount of shit you miss when you sleep the day away. I’d like to say my sleep was peaceful. After sleeping in the backseat of a car, having a bed should have allowed me to rest without issue. The problem is this bed, the whole apartment, and the building smell of werewolves. I’m not saying werewolves smell, but well, they do. Then add in going to bed sexually frustrated. Between Khalid’s Aunt Sarael and her guard interrupting us, he had to go and talk about his fucking ex. Seriously, who does that? That would be like me discussing past lovers casually while he’s fucking me. It’s damn rude. I suppose I should count myself lucky he’s too young to have as long of a list of exes as mine. I don’t want to hear about that twit. So overall, my sleep was not restful to begin with. And when I did fall asleep, those stupid nightmares about Toño killing my son have now morphed into him killing Khalid. I don’t know which is worse, and that’s fucking with me. The correct answer sho

I’m unsure how I feel knowing that Dani has spoken to Dania. I can only assume Dania would call because the guild was hoping to get my location from it. So, it explains why my phone was destroyed so suddenly, and I had to get a new one. Now I’m curious what they spoke about. We didn’t have anything left to say to each other after I broke up with her. Maybe she had things to say. I just don’t want to hear them. I can ask her about that later. I’ll add it to the list of things we should talk about. I’m sure she’ll want to know more details about what happened while she was asleep, and I’ll fill her in on most of it. I will skip the nightmare fuel walking into the greenhouse at John and Aunt Sarael’s house. I would like to forget it ever happened. It’s bad enough I’ve heard them having sex. Dani does not need to hear about the trauma of walking in on my Aunt’s hand in John’s pants while his hands were pushing her shirt up as they were a few moments from fucking on the wooden table in th

I knew I shouldn’t have left Caleb alone with Khalid. He doesn’t always know when to keep his mouth shut. I don’t know what he told Khalid. I know it’s got him annoyed with me. Not the good “I’m getting fucked hard later” kind of annoyed. The “I’m going to have to answer questions” annoyed. When I find out what happened while I was busy proving to Mariana which of us is stronger, I’m kicking Caleb’s ass. I almost wanted Caleb to tell them no. It’s selfish, of course. I don’t want to deal with Khalid and Byron in one place. I know Bryon, and he will act like a stupid jealous ass when he finds out Khalid is my mate. But I’ll put my selfish desire not to deal with that drama to secure the safety of this child. I don’t have to know Kurt or this sister he never knew. She’s a child, and hurting children is my no-go rule. A rule I know Caleb follows too. He had a kid before he was turned, so he has a soft spot on that subject. So I wasn’t surprised that after hearing that a child was involv
