Fearing Fate Chapter 32
DAYA POV Darius and I run into the woods, and I can already here the sounds of wolves fighting, tearing into each other’s bodies. I notice a lot of our warriors begin to separate and take on the rogues individually. We have been training for them to fight together. I feel for my newly established connection to the pack and mindlink all the warriors. ‘Warriors, do your best to stay with your teams. Strength in numbers!’ I shout out. I hear many confirmations, and they all begin to shift closer to each other, forcing the rogues to rethink their strategies and fighting styles. Of course, Tobias calls out through the link, even in the heat of battle, he manages to get a quick jab in. ‘Welcome to Running River, Daya! Now help us tear this group of shitheads apart.’ Even if he is a giant goofball, he is clearly a fierce fighter. He is fending off two rogues. I notice Sage is close to him and she is easily handling a gross grey wolf with matted fur. I continue to scan the field; I h

DAYA POV I am in shock. I can’t move. I can’t speak. All I can hear are Sage’s screams and cries of pain. Darius and Tobias are running to her. Before Darius or I could do anything, Tobias is grabbing the rogue by the neck. He slams him against a tree and without thinking, he plunges his clawed fist into the rogue’s chest. The rogue’s eyes bulge out of his head. Then he briefly smirks before Tobias ripped his heart out of his chest. Growling. Tobias stands over the rogue’s lifeless body, his hands covered in blood. “No!” Darius screams out a moment too late. Tobias snaps his head around. A moment later, Sage screams even louder. The bloody mark on her neck turning black her skin looks like it’s burning. “What have I done?” Tobias collapses next to Sage and scoops her into his arms. She is trying to push away from him, but he holds her firm against his chest as she continues to sob uncontrollably. “What happened?” I ask Darius. Not having witnessed a forced marking before in

DARIUS POV It’s been an entire day since the rogue attack. Daya has finally left the medical clinic to go home and shower. I made her leave. She didn’t want to leave Sage, who has yet to wake up. Tobias is still in his wolf form, laying on the foot of her bed now. I tried to talk to him through the mindlink and it’s no longer Tobias speaking. It’s his wolf spirit. Richard has tried talking to him and got the same response as I have. We are hoping when Sage wakes up, Tobias will come forward and take back control of his wolf. Richard is running some tests on Sage because her infection isn’t clearing up. On top of that, I have no answers as to who led the rogue attack. Daya said she saw something on one of the wolves she killed. I told her to wait until we are with Lucas and Emmy to talk about all this. So I’m just sitting in my office, staring at the couch, by my window, that Tobias normally sits in. Not having his presence in here is filling me with an empty feeling. He is alway

DAYA POV Today is a day with so many unanswered questions. We have no leads on Justin and Mara. We don’t know who is partnering with these rogue wolves. And now, we have some secret group, or something, that was part of this attack as well. As I wait in the medical clinic for Dr. Richard and Darius, I decide to talk to Sage. Just because she is asleep, doesn’t mean she can’t hear me- Mara probably did…crazy bitch. Tobias’ wolf hasn’t moved from the foot of her bed. He is resting his head on her legs. He is not talking much through the mindlink. “So Sage, and I guess Tobias, if either of you are listening…I accepted that Darius is my mate.” I grip Sage’s hand as I talk to her sleeping form. Tobias’ wolf continues to sleep atop her feet. “I know it’s crazy. But I’m done denying it. I’m not sure if I’m going to accept the mate bond, but Darius has been truthful and genuine with me this entire time. I’m the one who has been a liar and fraud. He knows most of my story, but he still do

DAYA POV Aurelian perks up as the three of them enter the room. I also sit more forward in my seat. Eager for any new information. “Hi Tobias.” Richard says, trying to stay calm and keep Aurelian calm. I was about to correct Richard and tell him this isn’t Tobias. Aurelian immediately mindlinks me before I can say anything. ‘Not time to tell yet. Sage is more important.’ Aurelian conveys this through our link. I gently nod my head to him. “Something you were going to tell us, Daya?” Darius asks me as my attention comes back to the room. I shake my head and re-grip Sage’s hand. “No. Just eager to find out what’s wrong with Sage. Please, Richard. Tell me you and Saph have figured this out.” I sound desperate and pained. I need to know that Sage will be okay. And it seems that Aurelian and Tobias need her to be okay for them to heal as well. “Okay. Let’s get right to it.” Richard begins to speak, getting all our attention. “We have Sage sedated because this infe
Fearing Fate Chapter 37
DAYA POV “You, Darius. I want you.” I have never been this certain about someone in my life. I know we should be thinking about the rogue attacks, or how we can help Sage and Tobias. But I want to be selfish right now. I feel like I can never truly relax around here; something is always happening, and I am more than willing to jump in and be the first to help. However, right now, at this moment, I don’t want to think. I don’t want to worry. I just know I want Darius. I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling my body flush with his. Our eyes trained on each other, never wavering. I’m nervous. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t. I have no sexual experience and I’m not sure how to get things started. It was so embarrassing while I was getting ready for this dinner date, and having all my sisters in my apartment, giving me sex advice. ***Flashback to an hour ago*** “Just jump his bones! No guy is going to deny you. And he’s your mate. He will know what to do. Just let him take the r

DARIUS POV “I want more…” She said in a breathy moan. Her body is coated in a glossy layer of sweat. Her thighs are glistening with her juices that I’m still tasting on my lips and tongue. She tastes amazing and I am more than happy to give her more. “Yes, madam,” I respond, as I begin to lean forward, my tongue sliding out of my mouth; ready to taste her again. She grips my hair, tugging me up so I’m looking into her lust-filled eyes. Her light brown orbs are alight with the golden hue of her wolf. “No. I want more of you, Darius. All of you.” She says, still trying to catch her breath, and her gaze shifts down to my hardened and throbbing shaft. I dip my gaze down and then look back into her eyes. I don’t see any hesitation or uncertainty on her face. My girl always knows what she wants. But I still want to make sure. “Are you sure?” She nods, pushing up so she is sitting completely upright. “I need words, Troublemaker.” I remind her as I kiss her knee. “Yes, Darius.
Fearing Fate Chapter 39
JUSTIN POV Sweat is dripping down the back of my neck, trickling down my back. I run my hands through my hair, which has grown out from my normally buzzed cut. I’m wearing a path in the ground from the pacing I’m doing between these two giant trees. This is our usual meeting spot. He’s running late. I get anxious when he’s late. The updates I have for him should make him pleased, dare I say happy? He took me under his wing years ago. He was my mentor. The closest thing to a father since I lost mine to the fucking plague. My father died when I was 13 years old. My mother got the plague first- that seemed to be how it happened to everyone. All the women got sick first. Their mates and children had to watch them slowly die, and then the men died. There were a few exceptions where the male mates got sick first, but it was almost always the women who died first. My father loved my mother. He didn’t have to die. He was selfish. I guess the pain of living without my mother was too pai
