Roman’s POVWhen Cleo was dropped with the bombshell that her father could indeed be Hades, it floored her. We had spent the entire evening talking between us about how it could possibly affect her, and as a result we were beginning to get on really well. That was until I told her she was staying in my room for the duration of our stay. She threw the mother of all strops claiming all I wanted was to fuck her, when in reality I wasn’t like that. After giving her my word that I wouldn’t touch her, she finally drifted off to sleep. She didn’t have to like it, but she needed to accept it. She would soon come to realise I always stuck by my word. I watched silently as she fidgeted in her sleep, her bond seeking out mine. I smiled to myself as she shuffled closer and closer only settling once her head was rested on my chest. My wolf Balthazar now content with knowing his mate was finally sleeping peacefully, he stopped pacing in my head and went to sleep himself. I wished I could sleep asid

Cleo’s POVAfter having heard about the extent of Daphne’s leg, guilt formed so quickly it made me feel physically sick and dizzy. Roman was quick to my side having felt it through the bond making me sit down and sip some water. Here I was discovering how I felt about my mate, all the while she had lost the ability to shift. A massive part of what made us not only who but what we were. Freya whined in my head knowing she would never get to run beside her sister again. Roman could tell just how much I loved my sister; we were the definition of ride and die.Having gotten dressed Roman led me out of his room and down two flights of stairs. His hand never once left mine. Don’t get me wrong the sparks from his touch felt amazing, like nothing out of this world. But it would certainly take some getting used to.“This is her room. From what Kai has told me she’s refusing to eat and has also refused to take her pain medication” the ball of nausea once again forming in my stomach as I picture

Cleo’s POV“What the actual fuck!” Opening my eyes, I find Daphne looking at me as if I’ve grown a second head.“What?” I asked completely confused.“Your mark… it glowed. And I mean night light in the dark fucking type of glow.” Placing my fingers over my mark the warm feeling buzzed through my fingers like electric, leaving my entire body tingling. I knew something was different when I felt the link to Roman open. When the mind link between us opened before it felt natural, but this time it was almost as if another part of me had forced it to connect. A small part of me wondered if it had something to do with the other half of me. The half I wasn’t ready to accept.“Roman is coming, we will get out of here Daphne” and I knew we would. I couldn’t explain it, but I knew Roman would do everything in his power to bring me back to him. There was no denying he had a reputation for being worse than his grandfather when it came to being ruthless, so I knew there was nothing he wouldn’t do.“

Roman’s POVKai realising his Alpha command wouldn’t help resolve this situation sent a mind link to every unmated male within the pack ordering them to stay clear of our location. The last thing we needed were more lust crazed wolves ready to fight for a chance to mate with Cleo. I didn’t want to hurt the men, but if I had to I would. Not only was I possessive because she was my mate, but because I have Alpha blood it magnified that feeling. Had one man managed to get to her, I wouldn’t be able to prevent my wolf from killing him.“Kai do something” Cleo’s voice for the first time was full of fear. Though I don’t think it was fear for me, but for the men she knew I didn’t want to harm. One thing I had learned about Cleo was that she was pure hearted. I may not have known her long, but I had come to know she wasn’t the kind of woman to allow others to be hurt because of her. I knew she felt she failed her sister in that aspect and didn’t want for anyone else to fall victim for somethi

Cleo’s POV Roman and I had literally only had sex a couple of times, the first only being two days ago. I had never given being a mum much thought. I hadn’t expected to settle down for years to come, but clearly the moon goddess had other ideas. When Dr. Holland said the pup was measuring seven weeks, I practically shat my pants. Though seeing the relief on Roman’s face as we heard the pup was his, made me wonder if I was actually cut out for this. While he chuffed over the image in his hands my thoughts went to the pup. In two days, a simple sperm had transformed into a seven week old foetus. I had never heard of a pregnancy having developed that quick before. How could five months be anywhere near accurate? “What I would like to do is schedule you to come back in for another scan in four day’s time. I want to get a feel for how the pup grows over a few days so I can give you a more reliable due date. How does that sound?” “Is the pup going to be like me if it’s already growing th
