I returned from Jackson’s vigil around dawn. He will be burnt tomorrow but I cannot stay. Watching my parents pyre shattered a piece of my soul, Jackson would be like offering another chunk of me to the ashes.So I stayed with Bianca and her daughters as long as I could. Beyond the first candles burning themselves, as and even Bianca was prepared to crash into a sobbing, lonely sleep. I hugged her close, as she whispered, “I am a widow Gen, how could a man as strong as him have left me so…”“We will find the killers, I swear. Both Cillian and Nikolai have vowed there shall be justice.”Choking back sobs, her words barely audible,“Gen, he was my world, he was everything,” and her daughters arrived to take their broken mother away. When a shifter dies, so does the mate bond. It is not only grief as a human, your wolf mourns too. Some argue you can still feel them tugging at that connection from the afterlife. Others argue it hurts so badly because the bond is completely severed, you are

We couldn’t leave Shadowlands without talking to Cillain. I knew he would be distraught about Jackson, but he was already outside on the porch with a steely gaze in his blue eyes. Leant over, elbows perched on the porch railing his entire body was tensed.He had been soft, wounded, openly weeping at finding our parents. He had cradled me to him as I dropped to the floor in hysteria. Yet now he was brutally cold, merely nodding at me. Noting the bag Nikolai carried he muttered. “You are heading back to White Forest?”“I am but I wanted to check on you first. Poor Jackson…why would they hurt him?”I attempted to place my hand on his but he was immovable. No embrace, no warmth came from him and for the first time I recognised his Alpha steeliness. My brother was a changed man.“They killed him to destabilise the pack. To try and take my legs out from under me,” he snapped back, taking his gaze from me. He stared into nowhere, his mind not engaged with me in the slightest. I could feel Ni

The ride home was a blast. Every bend had her gripping me with her thighs, her face nuzzled into my shoulders. Every time I slowed down enough for her to lift her head up, she planted kisses on the wounds she had caused on my shoulder.We had unlocked our mind link finally too. I hadn’t wanted to even try it before hoping for her rejection. I wanted her as fr from me as possible then. Now I was so far gone, so sunk into my obsession with her that it seemed only natural to mind link as we drove.New hair, new start she had declared. Those short flirty little curls that framed her heart shaped face stirred something within me. She had always looked beautiful, but every girl dreaming of being a Luna has that long style. Hanging straight and boring, although I did miss that sexy ponytail I wrapped around my hands in the woods./What are you thinking of/ she scolded teasingly as she caught some kind of read on my thoughts./I like your new hairstyle/ I answered light-heartedly, grinning un

Nikolai better be serious about taking me down to the jetty, because if he is away much longer I am going to throw him in it. It’s been almost three weeks, Freya’s ceremony is tomorrow and he’s nowhere to be seen! I’ve got a stunning dress, a swirling mixture of green and yellow silks, tied to a halter neck with an exposed back and no date.Freya has planned every detail and isn’t enjoying a second of her pre-ceremony nerves.“I swear if he misses this ceremony I will murder him!” she raged, striding up and down a yellow parlour. Marigold yellow sofas, custard coloured walls and enough gold and mahogany to resemble a pirate ship, it had become our unofficial hangout. Mainly because it was too vile for anyone else to want to come in. “He’s so selfish! To leave you for almost three weeks! You know my father is going to throw the book at him over this don’t you?”“I think I’m best to talk to him maybe,” trying to simmer her heat down a notch. Freya stopped pacing, looking at me with co

Attempting to appear cold and unfriendly towards each other was impossible with Nikolai’s deep, rasping filth in my head. /Honey, god scent between your legs, princess you’re soaking/ he murmured gruffly as I climbed the stairs without looking at him. My arousal was palpable in the air there was no denying that. /No underwear sorry/ I said innocently, my cotton nightgown swishing underneath the black cloak that I was very much looking forward to him ripping from me. /Don’t make me taste you right here in the corridor./He kept his head down, stomping after me down the long stone corridors to our suite. It looked to any bystanders as though I was dragging him to get changed for his sister’s ceremony. The evil, damaged Alpha being shamed into behaving for his family. People would see my red, flushed face and assume he’d made me cry, not that I was trying to keep myself from falling over. The lust from his gaze caused hot waves of heat to race up and down my spine, my legs wobbling, hi

Everyone swooned as Freya walked down the aisle on her fathers arm. Alexander appeared ten feet tall, chest puffed, dark eyes blazing as his peers cooed. Helena waited at the top of the aisle with the proudest smile on her face.I was focused on the slightly-rumpled Phillipe, unsure whether his eyes being green today was good or bad. Freya's white and green gown is a Grecian wonder of soft, flowing pale silk. Enhancing her shape perfectly, with a low cust bust, twisting green garlands and a delicate white satin cloak, she made a perfect Luna. Nikolai’s gaze was focused in the same direction, although Phillipe did not seem to notice either of us. He smiled broadly as he took Freya’s delicate hand. His white hair was styled into a sky-high twisting spike of drama. However his suit was grey with purple piping. Really he should have worn an element of green like everyone else. /Or blue to represent the right wolf/ Priya growled, her voice laced with hostility. NIkolai remained silent, s

I’ll admit I’ve been a moody prick about this ceremony for a while. If anybody had any sense they would have postponed it or just had a simple ceremony with their family and friends. Freya has to have what she wants. Spoilt rotten really. Why am I the only person in this room not realising that everyone of these prestigious guests are sitting ducks? It’s lunacy!. They’re sleeping in tents for fucks sake. Tents! Freya might as well make them all line up and expose their throats for the kill.I’ve got Vee in my arms, swirling her about her dancefloor and I feel absolutely wretched. I thought she hated me. I had Phillipe by the throat, ready to throttle him to death or simply take his head off before that freezing sensation got me. Revulsion, self-pitying shivers raced through my body. It gave me enough time to snap out of killing the worthless excuse of an Alpha.I don’t regret punching the bastard in the stomach though. He deserved at least that. My only regret is stopping at one hit.

The crowd were still clapping and cheering as the band prepared for the next song. Silence and hesitation met my question so I quickly leaned into her ear, trying to ignore the way her honey scent made me twitch with need.“I’ve failed you today. For my mate…my heart to feel so wretched about themselves…that's my failing. Dance with me again.”“I’m not perfect, you don’t need to say that” she flinched, looking away from me. Letting go of her hand I placed both of mine around her jaw, cupping her perfect face inches from mine. Fuck who saw me in love with her. My eyes flashed with ruby desire as I tried to make her understand. “I’ve been organising patrols, setting up extra fire torches and checking for rogue scents out there for five hours when I really should have been with you. So I’m sorry. I want to make it up to you.”The crowd watched, probably assuming I was planning to rip her head off but I was trying to win her over. The band struck, a lone violin lamenting. Hardly a sexy
