Kaylee povHearing Liz walk around the car when she comes to stop beside us."Oh, I'm fine. Just not used to travel in a car," I say to Heidi, trying to sound convincing. I haven't been in a car more than a handful of times, but I have no problem going in one."Where have you been hiding all your life?" Liz asks, and I hear how curious she sounds in her voice."I worked in the pack house, didn't have much time for anything else." I just state when she grabs my arm in hers and starts to pull me with her."Oh, you have a lot to learn, girl," she says when I turn my head to look over my shoulder and see Heidi have started to walk behind us."I don't think you are qualified to teach her a thing, or she will end up like you," Heidi says when I glance over at Liz and she stops to look at her."Yes, and I'm perfect," Liz says before she starts walking again, and I see Heidi roll her eyes in response."Yeah, right you are," Heidi says in a low voice from behind when Liz just keeps pulling me w
Heidi povI know I need to look further into her, and once Frederic has walked up the stairs with her, I head over to the kitchen, hearing Liz walk after me. I know she has tons of questions right now, and she doesn't wait until we are inside before she starts."Where did you find her, where does she come from, and what has she been put through?" She spills all the questions at once while I push the door open to the kitchen and walk inside. She walks right after me when I head over to look through the fridge and see what needs to be prepared right away."Stop hiding the secrets and spill," Liz says to my back when I write down the first thing they have to start prepping, while I know I need to look into something before I can get back here.Feeling her hand on my upper arm when she starts to pull on it."Heidi!" she says impatiently when I write down the last thing I need them to start doing."I found her yesterday out in the woods with a big problem at her hands," I tell her, and plac
Aron povIt took time to find the trace at some parts. It's clear that the one who is helping her knows these woods and how to mask their trace.I have never come across a rogue before who knows this, it makes me wonder who it is."Aron, there is a house over here!" Bryan mind links when my wolf is quick to turn around and run over to where he is.Reaching the tree line I see a clearing where a smaller house is standing, behind it there are some buildings that look to be more houses, but they aren't completed yet. Bryan stands by the tree line and looks right at the house when I stop beside him."What do you think about it?" Bryan mind links while my wolf is sniffing in the air for any trace. It's here they went, and a small trace of her scent lingers on the ground."They have been here, let's search it closer." I mind link him before we head over to the house, trying not to make any sound while we approach the house from the side and walk closer to the porch.Her scent gets a bit stro
Heidi povReaching the car out back, I'm quick to start it and drive away. I just told one of the girls before running out the door that I left a note in the kitchen for what they needed to start preparing, and the rest I know Liz will handle until I'm back.Reaching for my phone I'm quick to call Carl, and it doesn't take long for him to answer."I need you to get over to the spa and guard it until I'm back, and you have to call me if you see anything suspicious," I tell him the second he answers the phone. I know he will get into the car right away and rush over here, but I can't relax until I'm back and can make sure they are all safe."Do I need to bring anyone else?" he says, and even if that might be good, I'm not sure it's necessary right now."Do what you want, I'll call you on my way back," I tell him, and hang up the phone when I pull the car out on the main road and start to speed over to their pack.Since Carl joined Darian's pack and met Frederic, he has never hesitated t
Heidi povThey all look at me in silence for a moment, and I know Aliza understands it all. She has lived too many years as a rogue to know the dangers we are facing and who we need to stay far away from."No, Heidi," she says when I just look at her. Fear and worry are written all over her face, her eyes are dilated when I see her starting to shake her head."Are you sure it was him? You couldn't have mistaken him for someone else?" She asks, and I know she hopes it, but I'm certain it was him without any doubt."Yes, I recognized his scent, and there is no question, it was him when I saw his wolf," I tell her when I see Darian walk up behind her and place his hand on her shoulder. He has never been forced to live with the fear we have, he can't understand this from our perspective, even if he tries the best he can."You are safe, Aliza, and I want all of you to come here. We will protect you, and I think it's about time you all take our offer," he says, looking at me. I know he means
Kaylee povI can't believe how good he fixed my hair, even with the empty spots, I have never had this beautiful hair in my life. Dragging my hand through the blond curls, it feels so soft."Do you like it?" he says from behind when I lift my eyes in the mirror and look at him instead."It's amazing," I say in response when I see him get a big smile on his lips."Good to hear. Now, I will help you get your hair healthy when it grows back and fix the cut for you. Your hair is my priority, princess," he says, and I get all warm inside my body from his words. He feels so caring and loving, I don't know how I can ever repay him for this."Thank you," I tell him with a smile on my lips."Well, I've got a client coming in just a moment. Let's get you down to Liz," he says when I get up from my seat. Looking once again in the mirror, I can't even see my bald spots when he has fixed my hair this way.I'm starting to follow him out of the room and over to the stairs when I hear Liz talking dow
Kaylee povTurning my head away, I don't want to give myself away. I need to hide this for now."Just wanted to ask if there would ever be a need for one," I say, trying to sound normal when I take a few steps closer to the window."Don't worry, the contact number for the doctor is in Aliza's office by the reception. If it's ever needed, anyone of them can get it for you." She explains, and now I know I have to find the office and get in there unnoticed to look for a number, if I can even find it."Sounds good," I answer when she starts moving to my side."I guess it's better if we get down to the restaurant and see if they need any help; it's always better to be ahead of the chores before Heidi comes back and gives us more work." I see her turn around and start walking out of the room when I begin to walk behind her."I haven't met Aliza you were talking about yet, isn't she here?" I say when we reach the stairs again and start to walk down."She is with her mate and their pack, she
Kaylee povI'm trying to figure out what to say in response to her without telling her I'm carrying his child and he is my mate. He knows the truth that I wasn't a rogue before, but that won't help me anyway."I ended up on his pack grounds by mistake," I say, and look down on my lap again when the room falls silent for a bit when I hear footsteps walking fast outside the door before it's opened.Turning my head, I see Liz walking inside with fast steps and heading right over to where we are. She stops beside me and looks between us."What's new?" she says when I don't understand what she means at all. Looking back at Heidi, where she sits with her eyes on me."They will take my daughter at this time, and whoever wants to stay there, they will protect everyone, and the ones that want to join their pack are welcome to do so," Heidi says, and I don't understand what she is talking about."Tell me you will give up on being so stubborn and join the pack, Heidi, all the other girls here wi
