DianaI furiously typed a message onto my phone, pouring my emotions onto the screen.That asshole hasn't said anything since he left. Who does he think he is?! Just leaving with Aria for a couple days on a road trip while I twiddled my thumbs at home, waiting for him? And no doubt after I agreed to have his pups!He said it was a training excursion, but deep down, I was worried. I couldn't explain it, but something didn't seem right, and to top it off, that bitch Aria was with him.I hissed in pain as I grabbed my mark.It constantly burned like bee sting ever since he left. I rubbed the spot with my fingers, hoping it would relieve some of the pain, but as time marched on, the worse it felt. I wondered if he felt the same discomfort that I did?I was ready to send the horrible message, filled with vulgar language and exclamation points, but something was holding me back."Shit."I collapsed on the bed with the phone shoved in front of my face, contemplating what I should do.Should
Diana The door was on its final legs; the hinges were almost completely off and the metal was bending enough for me to see through a very large crack on the other side. There was too much dust from the broken dry wall to see, but I knew it was only a matter of time until the intruders would break through.As I witnessed the slow motion spectacle, I felt tear drops pooling below me. I was still in Holden's oversize shirt and shorts, not the best outfit to die in, but at least it was comfy?I tried to calm my shallow breathing, but my trembling body made it nearly impossible to concentrate. I ran different scenarios in my head, but they all ended up in me being caught. I glanced over at the bay window and thought about jumping, but that idea was pointless because whatever was on the other side of the door was going to outrun me.I clasped my hand tighter around the small switch blade, even if it was too small to kill the beast, for some reason I didn't want to loosen my grip. Silver wa
Damian"Fucking bitch!" Ares yelled as he lowered the smoking barrel of his rifle.She fell to the floor almost instantly losing consciousness, lying in a pool of her own blood. Her once beautiful white fur, now the colour red."No!!" I ran to her side and lifted her dying body in my arms.The silver bullet left a smoking hole in her side, not a fatal gun shot, but I knew it would eventually kill her.I felt like I was falling into a black hole, my arms trying to climb out, but I was being pulled down by the demons that wanted to take her from me. Anger wasn't the right description for my emotions right now; I was fucking enraged.Ares bolted to Alex's side on the floor."ARES, I told you not to shoot!" I roared."She would have killed him and was about to kill you!"I've never seen Ares this aggressive, it was out of character. He was always a man of focus and now, his emotions were making him go against my direct orders."YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE." I gritted through my teeth. I wanted
DianaMy eyes were finally flickering open, it felt as if I was sleeping for an eternity. I didn't want to make any subtle movements until I knew what was going on around me."Is she going to wake up? How much longer?"I could hear faint voices talking in the distance and none of them were familiar to me."There's no way of knowing Alpha, she was severely wounded with silver, I'm surprised she's still alive.""I'm sorry but I need to speak up and say something. This is crazy to have her here in our territory, and we have no clue who the hell she is! Those wolves were protecting her for a reason. Why put us all at risk?"Shit. How could I forget? I'm here with those murdering bastards."Look she's moving!"I opened my eyes wide fully to analyze my surroundings, already planning my escape. My vision was still slightly blurred to make out any details from the three men standing over me.I rubbed my eyes to get a better view of them."Leave," I recognized the Alpha's voice. His eyes were
DamianAfter running out on Diana, I took an hour to cool off in the forests, running aimlessly as my mind spiraled into a deep hole. I was out of control with rage and couldn't bear to show my mate the true beast within me.I was already heading back to the pack house to reassess the situation, and thankfully I was in a better frame of mind now."Eric, come by my office, I need to speak to you." I linked to Eric as I entered the door.I felt bad for leaving so abruptly when Diana woke up. I wanted to be there for her, but she didn't feel the same way and it killed me inside. I wasn't sure if it was because she was marked, or if Holden did something to her, but I was going to get to the bottom of it. My frustration started building again as I imagined that sick bastard touching her.I growled loudly as I whipped my hand onto an unopened bourbon bottle on a nearby shelf."We meet again old friend." I wiped the film of dust off the bottle and sighed deeply.I guess this was a good time
DianaI stared out the window pane from my room and I was on the brink of dosing off. I spent most of my time observing everyone outside to pass the time, but boredom was getting the best of me. It's been days since I was taken captive and I've spent most days in this prison cell. Well, let's be honest, it was actually a luxurious guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, but it felt like a prison.The more I had time to think by myself, the more I tried to make sense of all the decisions I've made over the last few months. I felt like I've been constantly making mistakes, and the only family that I could lean onto for advice was gone.I kept thinking about Holden telling me he was sorry before I hung up on him. Why was he sorry? I felt like I knew the answer, but I was too scared to face it. I had to grow up and face the realities of my situation. I regret not listening to my father and brother, I regret agreeing to be Holden's mate so fast, and I regret opening myself up to Red that
DianaI paced the room for several minutes as the growing anxiety took hold of my mind. Damian wasn't here to protect the pack or me, so why should I feel any safer locked away in this room? Was it actually rogues? Was it Holden? Was it Crimson Warriors? I was to the point of no return and I didn't want to leave, but the fear bubbling up inside me was pushing me to run away. The mark that I once flaunted around was gone and I didn't want it back.Eric told me to stay in my room until they cleared the area, but I've been through this shit before. I needed escape before Holden found me because he was the only one that I was truly afraid of."SHIT!" I paced the room like a maniac, trying to devise a plan to escape and run away until it was clear of Crimson warriors. Maybe it was a foolish plan, but the panic and anxiety of my old life took over my thought process and I just wanted to run.At least if I ran, I had a better chance than facing Holden. I wouldn't know where to go, but it wou
Damian"What the HELL happened?!" I slammed my fists hard into my desk causing one of the legs to rupture. Anger wasn't a good word for how I felt right now.I WAS FUCKING LIVID.The group of men gathered in my office remained silent, and their eyes all drawn to the floor in submission. No one had to balls to explain to me how the rogues got as far as they did.Diana was still unconscious in my bedroom as our pack doctor attended to her. She had no visible wounds, but she was barley clinging to life.Was this my punishment for leaving her alone? I was foolish for thinking anyone could protect her but myself. I wanted to murder this whole pack after putting my mate at risk."They came out of no where Alpha." Alex muttered from the corner of the room."I find that hard to believe. Rogues are like mosquitos, we swat them out of the way before they bite onto our skin. All of this shouldn't of happened. If anything, just on our borders. Not at the house. This is unacceptable for Fenrir. If
