Alpha Colt I stood on the steps of the packhouse, waiting for Linc to arrive. He had been torn when we were chatting over mindlink. Conflicted with his feelings. He wanted to know what I would do if I were in his position. I told him to trust his instincts. There was a very good chance that he was returning alone. Lilah wanted to wait as well. Just like me, she expected Linc to come back alone. But I told her to stay inside and try to keep our son occupied. I got the call from the gate that Linc was back. The SUV slowly made its way up the drive to the front of the house. I could see Daphne, her head was low, her hair hiding her face. From here, I couldn't tell what had happened. I watched as Linc jumped out of the car. He nods towards me and walks around the car, opening the passenger door. He takes her hand and a flicker of a smile appears. I knew in that moment Linc had accepted her. Betrayed, that’s how I felt. I thought by telling him to follow his instincts he would have go

DaphneThe pan fell from my hand this time. It was bad enough knowing that he was Lilah’s son and he was already this big. But shifting from a wolf to a Lycan. Was that even possible? I certainly did not know enough about them to know that this could happen.Linc’s mouth is hanging open. He hadn’t even looked away. Within seconds Aiden is stumbling backwards, crashing onto the sofa and his body quickly changes back to a small boy, although slightly taller than before.His breathing is heavy. His chest rapidly moves up and down as he tries to catch his breath. Whatever had happened inside of him, it was too much for him to handle.“Aiden?”“Here” He mutters breathlessly. His hand shooting up from the sofa to let me know he was okay.“Are you?”He sits up, staring back at me with Lilah’s eyes. “I’m okay Auntie Daphne.”Aiden pulls the jacket back around him as I try to make sense of what I just witnessed.“Does your dad know?” Linc mutters.Aiden shakes his head and runs a hand through

Alpha Colt“Why do you have a picture of me and Daphne as babies? Wait, why is there a baby picture of me and Daphne?” She stares at the photo, “Is it actually us?”“Apparently so.”“It looks like me, but..”“Daphne confirmed it.” Lilah opens her mouth to speak, “ And before you go off on a rant at me. I was about to tell you when Daphne turned up to tell me about Aiden.”I feel her flutter through a range of emotions. “Control your thoughts. Aiden can feel them too. I don’t need him charging in here again!”She frowns at me. “It’s hard to control my thoughts when new things keep coming to light. Where did you even get this?”“Daphne’s grandma was tracking you.”“You still didn’t answer my question!”“Daphne had them in the flat. They were sent to her after she told her mother she was safe.”“Another thing she didn’t tell me about!” She groans at me“Linc believed her when she told him that she hadn't looked at them. This photo was actually hidden under the box. Daphne didn’t know

Alpha Colt“What are we going to do about him?”“He’s your son, put an order on him like you would anyone else.” Linc shrugs his shoulders at me“He can block me.” I growl. “You heard him, he wanted silence.”“I don’t know, Alpha. Something like this has never happened before. I think it’s going to be a learning curve for all of us. But he is definitely a chip off the old block. At least he is safe and unharmed.”I couldn’t argue with that. I see our son disappear into the house and shake my head.“It has to be because he is part Lycan.” Daphne mutters. “Maybe that is why he is growing so quickly.”“What would you know?” Lilah snaps.“I know I still don’t know everything, but surely shifting isn’t what's making him grow?”“It could be. Our bones snap and move and heal as we shift.” I mutter as Linc protectively wraps an arm around Daphne and pulls her away from Lilah. “We don’t shift until we are eighteen. Our bones have pretty much already grown. It seems the only logical explanation

Lilah She looks at me with those dark eyes of hers. Her jaws hangs open as she tries to make sense of my words. Her head slowly moves up and down but her eyes become full of tears. “I lost my pup for you.” “I know.” I immediately felt guilty. I had been blaming her for everything when all along she had done what she could to protect me and that meant sacrificing her pup. I had been so stupid. “And why did the Moon goddess show herself to me? I’m no one.” She mutters quietly. “You are still half wolf. Who do witches pray to?” It wasn’t something I ever thought about “The horned God. That’s what grandma said.” She mutters as she looks at her hand. “Did she bind us? Was the Moon Goddess responsible for tying us together?” “I don’t know.” “Lilah, I don’t understand.” “You’re not the only one. What does it all mean? Why are we bound by blood?” “I think we were always supposed to be. I mean we share the same father. You and I are half sisters. It can't be anything else.” “You thin
