Mykel’s POVI knew what I had done to Elijah would come back to haunt me, but I hadn’t expected it to be his mate. Though with attitude that bitch had I shouldn’t have been surprised. The rage, betrayal, and humiliation I felt at the time, far outweighed any feelings or remorse I held towards anyone. In that moment as far as I was concerned Elijah was not only an obstacle, but a threat. A threat that needed to be dealt with. Admittedly once I was finished with him and the alcohol induced fog that clouded my mind had lifted, I knew I may have crossed a line. Elijah was my best friend; he always had my back and no matter the situation he never walked away. He had been a life saver when I would need to work away and needed Lilith protected. Guilt smashed into me at the realisation that maybe Elijah was actually protecting Raven when he and Lilith hid her in the cottage, only she was being protected from me. Elijah laid on the ground unconscious, both his legs broken in several places. Cl

Alarics POV“Father put him down!” My sons voice bounced off the walls as he entered my office. “Leave us” Xander ordered the man I’d just dropped who took off running quicker than his feet could carry.“What are you doing here? Don’t you have some young girl to be stalking?” When he growled, I couldn’t help but laugh. Xander was my eldest and he reminded me of myself when I was younger. Even though I had my mate I just couldn’t keep my hands to myself. The apple really didn’t fall far from the tree.“Word is spreading that you’ve become unstable. You need to reel it in and stop with harming our pack members. You know you’ve gone too far when I’m the one that’s telling you enough” he did have a point. Xander’s temper was far worse than mine. He had slaughtered an entire pack simply because the woman he wanted was mated. When he lost it, even I became frightened, not that I would let him know that. I was just so worked up, I had only attacked that lousy pack because of a rumour Benjami

Lilith’s POVMy eyes and body were incredibly heavy, yet I felt as if I were floating. I knew I had been encased in darkness however there was light ahead of me for I could see the brightness of it through my eyelids. Suddenly my lungs struggled to take in any air as I felt myself sink, that brightness disappearing as I became completely plunged into darkness. I figured something had happened when my eyes shot open. Scanning my surroundings panic should have been the emotion I felt only it wasn’t. Calm. I felt completely and utterly calm, like there was nothing to worry or stress about. Taking a few deep breaths, I took the opportunity to glance around at my surroundings. Never in my life had I seen a lake so beautiful and blue. Tiny fishes of all different colours swam happily around me.“Hello my dear” That voice… I had heard it before only I couldn’t place when. Getting to my feet I turned to find a woman with pure white hair and blue eyes smiling at me. Everything about her drew m

Raven’s POV“Look, I’m sorry about before. I let my frustrations get the better of me and I shouldn’t have taken what Alpha Mykel did to Elijah out on you.” Hollie refused to let me walk instead forcing me to sit in a wheelchair leaving me to wonder why we had left the hospital and were heading away from the pack house.“It’s fine I understand, but what I don’t understand is why we are leaving the hospital. Where are we going?”“Alpha Mykel has asked me to take you to the bunker and keep you and that pup of yours safe”“Lilith’s pup, not mine.”“What do you mean?” Hollie stopped pushing for a second as she walked around to look at me.“When Lilith was shot the bullet damaged her womb and she was bleeding internally. So she didn’t have to lose another pup I offered up myself as a surrogate. Now please tell me what’s going on?”“That’s actually pretty decent of you. Perhaps I got you all wrong. A few of the pack members, myself included thought you were going to come between our Alpha a

Lilith’s POVMy body burned and trembled as the wolfsbane dripped down my back. The open wounds leading from my shoulders down my back needed treatment. I could feel an infection working its way through me as I became delirious with evil hallucinations.When Xander said he was going to show me what I was missing by being with Mykel, this wasn’t what I had in mind. Though I’d prefer this punishment over that any day. When he whipped me with the silver chain everything inside me wanted to scream, to beg for my life. Feeling the skin tear open as the spikes moved down my back had my stomach churning. But I wasn’t going to allow him to see me cry. The Blood Moon Pack, Xander. They had already taken so much from me, and from Raven that I refused to let them break me. I would die before that happened.As the creaky metal shutter opened the bright light hurt my eyes after having been in the dark for so long. Within minutes my sight had returned revealing a smug looking Xander. He thought jus
