Chapter Forty-Five: Paige
I shovel cereal into my mouth. I’m mostly alone in the dining hall. Only the Omegas stay to work on the meals for the rest of the day. It’s quiet for once. I guess I should be late to breakfast more often. For the first time since I left Colin, the storm in my soul has calmed. I don’t know what it is, but I feel better today. Maybe I am getting over him. A tiny tap on my shoulder disrupts the peace I’m enjoying.
“Jonah? What are you doing here?” I ask.
“My mom doesn’t have a babysitter, so she takes me with her everywhere,” he says, “Can I have some food please, Luna?”
“Uh yeah.”
Tally and Harrison walk through the door, looking frantically for Jonah.
I wave to them. “He’s over here.”
“Sorry, Luna. He just took off when he fo

I’m tempted to brush her words off. She’s had years to be honest with me, but she didn’t. Now, it feels like she’s saying this so that I’ll forgive Colin. Because that’s what she wants, that’s what they all want.We can fix things with Colin. We can learn to live with Kat. He won’t love her more than us. If the Moon Goddess made Colin for two mates, then we can learn to share, Ash says.Do you actually believe anything you just said? I’ve never even heard of someone having two mates. It’s rare. Almost unheard of, but in certain situations, it happens. For example, if twins of the same gender are born, they will share the same mate sometimes. That’s obviously not the situation here, but who are we to argue with the Moon Goddess? It just doesn’t feel right, Ash. I know
Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance) Chapter Forty-Seven: Nolan
“Why isn’t she marked yet? She was with Colin for a month.”“I honestly don’t know the answer to that. That’s something that we’ll have to ask the pups.”I was confused by that too. I may not have met my true mate, but I’ve seen enough pairs to know that marking one another happens within the first few days of meeting. Shaking John’s hand, I excuse myself. I catch a glimpse of Colin sitting on the stairs outside of Paige’s room. His black hair looks as if he’s been pulling at it for hours. His eyes have dark circles underneath the red puffiness. My heart aches for my nephew. I have sat in his place before, every single night that Nicole was forced to be near Charles. I sigh and start making my way up the stairs. I pat Colin’s back, but he doesn’t even look up. I can hear Paige’s heartbeat before I knock on the door. My guess is she’s just on the other side, looking about as
Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance) Chapter Forty-Eight: Colin
I push my body to run further and further as the sun illuminates the sky. I couldn’t sleep. Being near Paige is a calm torture. On one hand, I’m glad she’s near me and I can protect her. On the other, being so close and not being able to touch her is driving Dom mad. He’s getting harder and harder to rein in. I’m dense into trees when the smell of a swamp hits my nose. Dom perks up. He’s been itching for a chance to kill rogues.“Rogues! Eastern border!” I mindlink Nolan and Alex. I trust them to let the other Alphas know.I let Dom take control and shift. He follows the trail, the nasty smell overwhelming our senses as we inch closer. I count five heartbeats. Dom pushes forward, careful not to alert the rogues. Their own stench is so powerful that they don’t notice our scent. The wolves come into view. The group is made up of three small brown wolves, kids if I had to guess
Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance) Chapter Forty-Nine: Colin
“I don’t know what you want me to say,” she sits up. “I mean, how do you fix choosing someone else over your mate? How do you fix breaking your mate’s heart to be with another? I’m not so sure there is a way to fix it, Colin. You chose Kat. Even if she is gone now, you still chose her. How am I supposed to know you’ll be different in the future?”I can hear the tears forming in her eyes. My fists flex at my side. They’re desperate to punish me for hurting her. Desperate to punish me for being exactly like my father.“I’m not making excuses, but what Kat did affected my mind. I took her to that cabin with the intention on finding a way to break that bond. I thought I could do it and then tell you. That way, I handled the problem, and we could move on. But I was wrong. I was so, so wrong. I don’t know what Kat was doing or what happened, but I didn’t even realize I was yelling
Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance) Chapter Fifty: Paige
I trace the healed gashes over his chest. I wish I had gotten there earlier to help him. Smelling my mate's blood sent a surge of fear through me like never before. Suddenly, nothing else mattered. Instinct took over, and rage blinded me. I knew then that I would not give him up. Even after learning about Kat’s death, I wasn’t sure that I wanted this. Maybe it’s because of the title that comes with it. Maybe it’s because I’m scared of giving my heart away. But in those seconds of seeing him hurt, I knew that my heart was no longer mine. It never had been.“Time to get up. It’s almost five. We can’t miss dinner.” I stretch my arms over Colin’s face.“Well, good morning to you, too.”“It’s actually good evening.”“Oh. We’d better go then. I bet your parents have been wondering about us.
Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance) Chapter Fifty-One: Peyton
I had planned to tell my family at dinner tonight, but the conversation never strayed from the heavy problem on our hands. I feel nauseous with every second that passes. I know my family is going to be pissed, but this is best. Everything will be okay, I hope. Claire sits in my lap behind the desk. Her fingers stroke my hair. She’s always so calm, and I’m always a mess. She would be a fantastic Luna. I feel guilty for not being able to be the Alpha she deserves.I look at all the faces I invited. My family looks rather concerned. Colin’s family looks at me with support. Good, maybe having them here will keep my dad from killing me. My hands are soaked with sweat no matter how many times I wipe them on my jeans. I inhale Claire’s scent before standing up. Claire stands by my side, giving me an encouraging smile.“Claire and I have some news we want to share.” I pause. “
Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance) Chapter Fifty-Two: Colin
Dom’s paws pound against the dirt. He’s going as fast as he can, but it doesn’t feel fast enough. I’m regretting allowing Paige to go off with her own warriors. Not that it would’ve mattered had I said no, but now she’s in more danger than she even knows.If you had just marked her, we would be able to warn her by now! Dom seethes.I know he’s right, but it’s not like I can force my mark on her. I had planned to ask her on our date that I set up, but because of my stupid ass, that date never happened. Oh, how different our life would be if I had just kept that promise. The smell of blood has Dom skidding to a stop. The wolves who followed me do the same. Through the trees, we can see Ash on the ground with claw marks down her side. Ash dissolves into Paige’s form.“I’m gonna have fun breaking you,” Charles utters those words whi
Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance) Chapter Fifty-Three: Nolan
I stand in the midst of madness. Dead rogues lay at my feet. Hugh’s brown fur absorbed back into my skin. The gush of wolves has ended, at least for now. I look around. It’s clear that our warriors were victorious, but this is far from over.“Beta?” Rita’s voice fills the air, but I can’t find her anywhere.“What is it, Rita?”“Get to the southern border now. Hold Charles off the best you can. I’m on my way.”Hugh takes control, leading a fresh wave of warriors into battle. Screams bounce off around the woods as we near our destination. My wolf doesn’t slow down to assess the situation. He bursts from the tree line, his eyes locked on the wolf that we used to call brother. He stands in front of Colin, doing his best to strangle him. Hugh charges at Kurt, knocking him down as if he’s a bowling pin. Co
