Alpha ColtShe paces back and forth. Chewing on a nail.“Lilah, he doesn’t know anything.”“He was questioning me. He wanted to know who I was.”“That’s pretty standard. An Alpha should know who is staying on his land. I’m surprised that it’s taken him so long. He should have done that the moment he knew you were here.”“Are you even listening to me? He knows who I am, Alpha Colt. He knows.”“Lilah, you need to chill. He knows nothing.”“You said it yourself. You said they would kill me if they found out.”“There is one way of stopping that from happening.” I muse. It was going to happen anyway. She might as well just let me mark her.“No fucking way.”“Fine, but you can’t expect me to help and then not let me help. That’s not how this works.” She comes to a halt. Her eyes narrow at me, but at least she stops chewing on her fingers.“I will figure it out on my own.” She groans.“How do you expect to do that?” I was curious. Her only form of true protection was my mark.“Well obviously
LilahHe drops onto the couch opposite. His cobalt blue eyes firmly fixed on me. His lips curved up like he was amused with himself. He makes himself comfortable, resting his clasped hands over his dick. I was going to cut that off oneday!Wiping away the tears, I spin my legs around, sitting myself up to glare at him. “You will regret doing that.” I mutter, running my fingers over my new mark.His smirk turns into a grin. “I never regret anything, Lilah."“You have no right!”“I have every right, you are mine. You’re lucky to have made it this long. If you belonged to anyone else, there would be a good chance that they would have marked you and fucked you against your will. Just be grateful that I have only done one of those things.”“I fucking hate you!”“I know, but you won’t for much longer.”“Are you serious? You think this is what's going to make me fall for you?” I point to the bump on my neck. I hadn’t even seen it yet, but it felt hideous.Alpha Colt gets to his feet. He stri
Alpha Colt“FUCK!”I find the car abandoned. The window smashed in. I hadn’t believed a word Lilah had said. I had thought it was some kind of game. A way to distract me. But here was the car along with five other scents. All men, all Lycans.“Why would they want her now?” my Beta Linc questions. He had met me here after I called him. “I marked her.” It was the only thing that had changed. Unless they were after her for another reason. For being the daughter of traitors.He studies me for a moment. Choosing his words carefully. “We both know that's not the reason they took her.”I hadn’t been able to mind link her since she went silent. They had done what I would do. They had either knocked her out, or put her to sleep to block the connection.“I should have believed her.” I mutter. I had made a vow never to let this happen again. Not after the Rogue situation. Yet here we were.“I don’t think it’s because of who she is related to.” Linc pulls a torch from his pocket. Pointing it at
Lilah.He had told me over and over. He said the day would come where I would need his help. I had needed it and he didn’t believe me. And now, here I was, trapped in the same fucking room as him.While I was in the pack hospital, I had begged Halle to let me stay with her. Promising her that I would be no trouble. But her answer was always the same. She would tell me there was no way Alpha Colt would let me out of his sight now.She made me feel like this was all my fault. That I had been attacked because of my carelessness. She wasn’t the only one. Anyone that passed through the hospital, gave me a dirty look. A look that said I disgusted them.Beta Linc had escorted me back to the packhouse this morning. He said that Alpha Colt was waiting for me. He wouldn’t say anything else. He kept his honey coloured eyes ahead and walked a step behind me. Directing me all the way up to the bedroom.Neither Linc or Alpha Colt speak to each other. They just nod and Linc leaves.“How are you feel
Alpha Colt’s POVI should have seen it earlier. I should have figured it out. But I had let my thoughts about Lilah cloud my mind. I hadn’t been able to see what was right in front of me.“Do you know them?” She asks me. Her hand rubbed at the mark on her neck. The mark was irritating her, a sign that her heat was going to kick in at any moment.“If I knew them, I would be putting them down right now.” She starts scratching at the mark. “Leave it alone, Lilah.”“It’s so god damn itchy.” She leaves it alone for all of a second before scratching again.“I assume your mother didn’t tell you about that either?” I point at it and she scowls at me.“Whatever it’s doing to me, I don’t care. Why would they take me and do this to me?” With her free hand, she points to her chest.“Payback. They want to see you suffer. They want to make me suffer. Now leave the mark alone!”“Stop changing the subject. I can’t help that it’s so fucking itchy.” She marches across to the window and throws it open.
LilahMassive Lycans were standing guard at the entrance of Freefall Cove. It was a strange name for a pack. But it wasn’t my place to say anything. I had already been glared at when I laughed at the name.The guards are already bowing as Alpha Colt rolls the car towards the massive steel gates. They were already expecting us. Sometimes I forgot that Alpha Colt could link any wolf or Lycan.There were very few houses here. Not like White Crescent, where they were dotted everywhere.“The Lycan’s prefer a more…natural way of living.” Alpha Colt tells me as he drives towards a rickety log cabin.“Natural?”“They sleep under the stars, Lilah. They hunt their food. They wash in the river. They fuck in the forest”“Oh. They have sex as Lycan's?” He laughs but doesn't confirm. I didn’t know much about Lycan’s. Only the bits that mum had told me. They were stronger and faster than wolves.“Should I shift?” I wasn’t even sure if I could do it anyway. Last time it had just kind of happened and
Alpha Colt“Wyatt, where the fuck are you?”“Is everything okay?” He appears from his office. An eyebrow raised in confusion at my anger. Marching towards him, he backs up. “What’s wrong, Alpha Colt?”“Did you have something to do with what happened to Lilah?”“No! How could you even accuse me of that?”“Because you are a fucking idiot, Wyatt!”“I promise you. I would not be stupid enough to kidnap her. No one here would.”I could see it in his eyes. The honesty. He didn’t have a clue who had done it. It just pissed me off further. I had to find out who it was and make an example of them.“Is Lilah okay?”“She’s fine. She is with Halle.” I take his seat behind the desk. I could see how it annoyed him, but he doesn’t say anything.“They didn’t want to keep her at Freefall.”“She does not need to stay there.” I mutter, watching his movements.“Oh.” He turns his gaze to the window.“Is that what you wanted, Wyatt? You hoped that she would stay at Freefall so I would too. You want rid of
LilahHow could anyone be scared of me?I look down at myself. Puzzled and confused as I wait for his reply.“Not you, but everything that surrounds you. I don’t know who hurt you. I don’t know who kidnapped you. I don’t know what they want with you. That scares me.”I didn’t like the way this conversation was going. He wasn’t at all like the man that mum had warned me about. A man who feared nothing. A man who cared for nothing. That was what she had said and right now, it sounded like he cared.Jumping to my feet. “Can you take me for a run?”“Lilah, we are not done…”“I am. Look, I haven’t shifted since the clothes store. I see others doing it all the time. It’s a really nice day.” I was desperate to get away from what he was talking about. It just made me so uncomfortable.“You can’t control your shift yet."“Well then it’s perfect isn’t it. You can teach me. I’m guessing it’s the same as how you do it?”“Fine!”I follow him out of the bedroom and down the stairs. He didn’t seem t
