#Chapter61I can't even get any peace. Five times someone has come into the room, clanged the crate then just taken off. I'm exhausted, I just wanna sleep. I closed my eyes, yearning to be left alone. The door swung open, banging against the wall. I groaned loudly and thrust my foot against the bars."Can't you just leave me alone for 5 minutes?" I growled. I heard a high pitched giggle sound out in the room, "Didn't your daddy tell you to not come in here alone?" I cackled. I strained my neck to look at her and she was smiling at me. She came over to the crate and sat crossed-legged on the floor."I heard you killed your mum, that must have been hard." She muttered, staring at the floor. "Not really. I mean, sure it was harder because I couldn't shift but I managed just fine." I sassed. She sighed and brushed her hand through her hair. "Are you here for any specific reason?" I snapped.She took a deep breath then sighed. "Can't you have a serious conversation?" She mumbled. I chuc
#Chapter62Rhydian's POV.I feel so proud right now. Not only are the warriors here but there are pack members that haven't ever been in a fight before. They aren't physically trained but they're putting Amaris's life ahead of their own.Tristan, Lucas and Alex are running in wolf form to my right with Ezra, Elijah and Drake to my left. Seeing Alex in wolf form makes me miss Amaris even more. They're identical, I couldn't tell them apart if I tried."Amaris can't control it, can she?" Alex's voice popped into my head. I stumbled forward a little, I wasn't expecting to hear him. I mean, of course, he can mindlink..."She's starting to a little but not really. You can turn it on and off, can't you?" I replied."When my emotions are high then no, I can't. I can call it forward, so to speak. Apollo and I become one, I'm the wolf." He explained.I'm so glad Amaris has Alex back. Not only because he's family but he can help her with her Dark Wolf too."Just up ahead," Alex announced.
#Chapter63"Rhydian..." Alex rested his hand on my wolf's shoulder. I couldn't take my eyes off all the blood. There was so much of it, the little crate was open wide, there were bits of skin and fur stuck to the bars. Alex stepped in front of me and crouched down. "Rhydian, we need to find her." He mentioned, "She's not here, but she's hurt or-" I growled preventing him from finishing that sentence. His eyes flashed red at me and I took a deep breath. "Listen..." He growled, "If she shifted in that crate, she's going to need help." He snapped. "I know she's your mate..." He hesitated, "But, she's my sister." He glanced down at the floor. "I haven't been there for her, I want to make up for that by helping her now." He whimpered. "No matter where she is or how she is." He added. "How did you have the dart?" I questioned. His eyes snapped to mine, he was rocking back and forth on his heels trying to keep his balance. "We don't have time for that." He muttered. "Answer me," I roared
#Chapter64"Any change with him?" Lucas inquired standing in the doorway of the hospital room. I shook my head and looked back at Rhydian. He was hooked up to so many machines. There were wires all over his body. Lucas hummed and came further into the room. "Have you spoken to Alex?" He queried as he settled into the chair opposite me next to Rhydian's bed. I shook my head but kept my eyes on Rhydian. Lucas sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "How did you get out?" He asked. I took a deep breath and peered over at Lucas. After Malia told me about Alex being alive, my emotions were all over the place. Aurora finally came back, I couldn't shut my mind off. I was questioning everything. I couldn't stop it, I started to shift and no matter what I did it was happening. I had half shifted but because of the crate, I couldn't complete it. My bones were popping out in different directions. Even after I told Malia to go, she came back with the keys. I had to force myself out of the cr
#Chapter65I pulled away from Alex and wiped my eyes. I smiled at him, "I can't believe you're really here." I mused. He chuckled and nodded. He led me towards a sofa next to a window. I sat down with him taking a seat next to me. "So, I know the basics of what happened to you. Malia told me." I muttered. "I felt you die, well not die but I felt what I thought was you dying," I whispered. "I don't remember everything I've been through. Bits and pieces are missing, but I know the main things." He explained. "Rhydian said something while we were looking for you... He said that Selena had been provoking you since you came back." He pondered, "Where have you been? I know Rhydian's your mate but you aren't marked... How is he the Alpha?" He asked, looking confused.I took a deep breath and sighed. "I need to start from the beginning," I stated, he nodded and kept his gaze on me. I told him everything, by the end, I was sobbing quietly. He threw his arms around me and sniffled. "I'm so sor
#Chapter66I'm too hot, Rhydian's arm is securely around my waist hugging me tightly against him. I wiggled, trying to get out of his hold. I don't remember falling asleep and I certainly don't remember getting into bed with him. I fluttered my eyes open and glanced around the room, I'm still in the pack hospital with him. I sighed and peered over my shoulder.He looked relaxed, his lips were parted slightly blowing puffs of air at me. His hair was messy, coming down in small waves over his eyes. I giggled quietly and attempted to move again. He moaned and tightened his hold on me. I huffed and tucked my arm under his, trying to lift it off of me. "Go back to sleep, Red." He groaned. I chuckled and wriggled again. "And for the love of our Goddess, stop shaking your behind against me." He whined. I stilled and felt something hard push against me, I thrust myself forward, rolling entirely off the bed. I landed with a thump and groaned. A stifled chuckle filled the room. I yanked myse
#Chapter67After Ezra walked in on Rhydian and me, I left them to sort pack business when Lucas turned up and Ezra felt the need to tell Lucas what he had walked in on. I had to get out of there before Lucas started questioning me and making a big deal out of nothing. 'It is a big deal. We could have had sex.' Aurora groaned. 'Oh my god, no. Rhydian said we weren't completing the bond in the hospital.' I rolled my eyes as I switched the shower on. 'But you wanted to. Don't forget I am you too.' She answered back sarcastically. I shut her out for a bit while I got in the shower. I do want to complete the bond. I want to be fully Rhydian's. But I'm still nervous, I will be until we actually do it... I guess. I need to do more research, actually, I'll talk to Ria then at least she will tell me without sugar-coating it and she'll be able to tell me about the marking too."Hey, are you having breakfast at the packhouse?" Alex's voice popped up in my head and I squealed. I don't th
#Chapter68As we arrived in the middle of a clearing, we stopped and turned to Cory. "Are you sure? We can always come back another day?" I asked. I don't want to overwhelm the poor boy, I don't know if he was told about my wolf. Meeting one Dark Wolf can be scary enough without having to meet two. Cory shook his head and smiled, "I want to meet them." He answered. I took a deep breath and sighed before looking over at Alex. "Did your mum or dad ever tell you about Amaris's wolf?" Alex questioned. Cory nodded and looked back at me. "I know your wolf is special, I can't remember what they called you but I'm not afraid." He stated. "Wait, a Dark Wolf." He restated. We both nodded. "I'm a Dark Wolf too," Alex announced. Cory's eyes lit up, "Really? That's so cool. I'll be fine meeting them, I promise." He exclaimed.We stepped back and started towards the trees. "Wait!" Cory called out. "You can shift in front of me, I know you don't need to take your clothes off that's one thing my dad
