LilahIt was my mother. I recognised her hair and those eyes. She ran deeper and deeper into the forest. My feet pound the ground hard as I try to keep up. I move quickly and silently as I try to keep up. Jumping fallen branches. Dodging trees. It was like my wolf knew exactly what to do.Alpha Colt and Callie were not far behind. The scents told me that the other Lycans had joined in too, but I did not care for them. I just wanted to speak to my mother. I wanted to know how she was alive. I wanted her to tell me how she escaped. I just wanted to wrap my arms around her once more.She changes directions several times. Always staying a few metres in front. She would look over her shoulder now and again, calling for me to catch her.She comes to a stop. Tall trees surround her. She stands facing me, her arms wide open.“Come here, my dearest daughter.” The voice didn’t match my mother’s. It was higher pitched. Her choice of words didn’t feel right either. By the time I realised that I h

LilahThe door would open now and again. A flicker of light creeping around the edge of the door. By the time my eyes had adjusted. I was in darkness again.I tried reaching out to Alpha Colt over and over. But nothing ever came of it. It was like I was no longer connected to him. I should be happy. It was all I had ever wanted. But now, he was the only one who would be able to get me out of here. He was the only other person that knew me.I don’t scream, I stop myself from crying any time I feel my eyes welling up. Snare couldn’t know that I was afraid of her. She couldn’t know that what she was doing was making me suffer.My stomach growled with hunger. I had been hungry before, but not like this. I assumed it had been days since she took me. Days since I had last seen Alpha Colt.As I think of him, a smile creeps over my face. There was so much anger on my part. Mostly because I had been lied to my entire life. And getting over that wasn’t going to be easy.The door is suddenly yan

Alpha ColtIt was hours before Lilah started making any sense. She would mutter words at barely a whisper. Eventually, her words became sentences. And even though she was asleep. I could finally work out what had happened to her.Her face screwed up more times than I could keep track of. Even my company wasn’t comforting her anymore. It seemed that she was trapped in a cycle of nightmares. Replaying one after the other.The Lycans come and go, but Drake was the one who surprised me. He appeared alongside his brother Grant. Drake’s head was hanging, just like every other time I had seen him.“This is my fault, Alpha Colt. Take my life!” His eyes were still on the floor. He couldn’t even bring himself to look at me.“You agree with this?” I asked Grant. It wasn’t common for someone to request that I end their life. Well, not like this anyway. Most mutter it in their final words. Like I would somehow stop what I was doing. That their demand would make me save them. It never worked. “We

Alpha ColtHer hand slips into mine. Carefully she steps into the hot water. She lets out a hiss as her foot touches it.“Too hot.” She mutters through clenched teeth.“It will be good for the aches and pains.” Normally, I would recommend an ice bath. But these were not aches and pains from over training.She lowers her body into the water, continuing to hiss as the water covers her. She sits between my thighs. Her hands using my knees as a support as she makes herself comfortable.I try to keep my hands to myself. Every part of me was desperate to touch her. Every part of me ached to be inside her and have her legs wrapped around me. But I had to play this carefully, she was finally turning a corner. She wasn't fighting me anymore.To my surprise, she leans herself back against me. Her head rests on my shoulder, her back pressed against my chest.I could see how the water made her breasts bob a little. Her nipples were rock hard. “Lilah?” I mutter, trying to clear the dirty thoughts

Alpha ColtSleep takes Lilah before I get a chance to say anything. Her demand almost makes me smile. Yet the demand seemed so out of place for her.I lay right next to her for the next few hours. Listening to the gentle, content snores coming from next to me. I wanted to stay with her all night. I wanted to watch her sleep but I still had the problem with Drake.Quietly I move myself away from Lilah. Being careful not to disturb the bed too much. Her body flips over and she uses her arms to pull the pillow into her. As I waited for Callie to arrive, I continued to watch my mate. I had vowed to protect her, yet, I was failing. It didn’t matter if they were coming after her or me. I would make sure that nothing else would touch her. I knew right then and there that I was willing to die for her.I open the bedroom door before Callie gets a chance to knock. “Are you sure you are okay with this?”“Yes. It’s fine. I think she just caught me off guard. You know, I wasn’t expecting her to s
