Reclaiming His Banished Mate 36 - Healer’s Work
The medical center is busier than I expected, Katie’s sitting upright at the desk and it’s amazing to see how confident she has become so quickly. She’s always been a shy girl, like her Mother, Anna. There are a couple of young kids around the reception with their Mothers, waiting for some kind of vaccination no doubt. But Katie stands up as we come into sight, calling back to the Doctor.Ava appears and looks me dead in the eye before giving instructions for Katie, asking for the clinic to be rescheduled. Then she simply turns and holds open the door as me and Mat half drag-half carry Luca in. Gethin’s shuffling along with the drip back, still sunk into his arm.‘Put him down,’ she points to the bed, business-like. We set him down and she orders his boots be taken off. She moves over Luca, pulling off his shirt and I can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. Then tell myself to get over it. There’s nothing sexual or romantic in what she’s doing. Her stethoscope is on his chest as s
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 37 - Spearhead
‘He’s going to be just fine,’ Ava steps out from the medical room, with Katie following behind her. She looks relaxed and I’m on my feet, moving towards her.‘You knew what was wrong?’ I can’t take my eyes off her. It feels like she’s worked some kind of magic.‘My predecessor did,’ she lifts up the notebook, ‘he mentioned that some venoms can prevent our healing abilities. Luca was bitten by a Spearhead Snake, either before or after his fight with the Rogue. It meant that instead of healing up, he was bleeding out internally.’I pull in an uneven breath, reaching out to balance myself with a hand against the wall, ‘he’s going to be okay?’ Everything she’s said sounds serious. I always think of myself as invulnerable, nearly immortal. Taking down Rogue’s is dangerous, but I’m bigger, stronger and faster than most other wolves, including the Alphas.I don’t tend to think of the rest of the world as dangerous, but this has shaken me to the core. ‘He’s going to be okay?’‘He’s res
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 38 - Chasing Normality
Ava is as good as we hoped that she would be. Luca recovers over night and by morning, he’s his usual irritating self. Teasing me about the Doctor stripping him off. If I wasn’t so relieved that he’s alive, I’d be dressing him down myself. Putting him in his place. At the end of the day, Luca’s just being a dick. His heart is in the right place, and he’s loyal. Ava checks in before we leave before signing Luca out, telling him to take it easy for a few days. If I know Luca, it’s unlikely. Then it’s my turn to fulfill my promise. I join my Dad for breakfast, he always eats it on the veranda that wraps around the top floor of his house. Surrounded by the tree’s. I’m nervous about making the suggestion that he tells Lou, and he laughs. I’m left staring at him and he explains that he’s already told Lou. She knows about werewolves, and she’s fully on board. She’s just waiting for Ava to tell her, before she says anything to the Doctor. I walk away feeling lighter. Hoping for some downt
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 39 - Dancing
I’m not sure why I agreed to dance with Luca, but perhaps I’m too easily convinced into things these days. He’s been a constant around the medical centre for the last few weeks, in Kylar absence. At first I was worried that he might have an ulterior motive, wanting to get closer to me. But after the first week, I realised that he has no romantic interest in me. In fact, he’s quite clearly in love with Kylar’s Sister, Kate. She bought her young daughters in for a standard check up appointment at the end of that first week. He had been helping out in the store room, cataloguing. I understood that he wanted something to do, whilst he recovered from the venom in his bloodstream. He was disappointed that Kylar and the others had shipped out without him. I’m impressed with the members of this pack, when they’re displaced from their usual routines. They work, they find other ways to fill their time productively rather than spending all their time and money in Eclipse. When Kate came in
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 40 - Unexpected
It seems so strange, that despite everything, Kylar still wants to be with me. This gorgeous, enigmatic and powerful man wants to claim me. Afterall, that’s what he is doing, bending down to kiss me in front of the entire village. There can be no denying his possession as his mouth moves over mine. The initial touch was soft and sweet, testing the boundaries. But I kissed him back and there’s nothing but heat between us. I can feel his grip on my ass as he slides his hands over my denim cut offs. Pulling me with aggressive desire against his body. I’m gasping, thoughts spiralling already as I lose sense of where we are. Revelling in the sensation of him. The scent of alpine trees and something deep and musky that is Kylar’s alone. Seren has been moping again and she’s always so delighted when his wolf is nearby. When we’re in harmony. It’s hard to believe that he wants to try again. That he wants to be with me. But then, I feel the same. Yes, he was an arrogant arse when he foun
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 41 - Plea
‘You know that man?’ Kylar had moved towards me, his actions instinctive, protective. I find myself leaning into that protection. Even if it’s new. I feel safer with Kylar than I did with my own pack. Afterall, they banished me.‘I know him,’ I agree with a voice that’s a shiver. ‘He’s from my old pack,’ I explain, ‘Silver Stream.’Kylar looks down at me, searching my face as if we have all the time in the world. We take a pause together and I already miss our sense of calm and security. With only his presence, Josh has shattered that. The past has intruded on the present. They rejected me. They banished me. How dare he arrive on my doorstep. I can’t breathe.‘We need to have that talk,’ Kylar says for my ears alone before he strides forward towards Josh. Josh is just how I remembered him, dark haired with blue eyes. He has an angular face and high cheekbones. Josh looks between me and Kylar as I step up alongside the future Alpha of Midnight Forest. I always thought Josh was kind o
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 42 - History
‘It’s…’ I look down at my hands. Then I close my eyes. As if I could shut out the memory of that day, and the choices I made. The night I spent with Kylar. I can’t regret my children, and it feels now as though life is turning out the way it was meant to be somehow. But I can’t help but wonder if I could go back in time, what I might have done differently.Kylar tucks a stray strand of hair behind my ear. His fingers warm as they linger on my skin. He wraps an arm around my shoulders, pulling me against his chest. I can hear the steady beat of his heart. I feel the strength of his arm around me and I feel some of the walls that I’ve built to protect myself, come tumbling down. ‘My father is the Alpha of Silver Stream,’ I start slowly, with just the facts. Wrapped in the strength of Kylar’s arms, it’s time I found the courage to share the story of what happened. But it feels like unlocking doors within myself. Big, dark doors that have been shut away and sealed up tight. I’m afraid
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 43 - Healing
KylarI’ll do anything I can to take the pain away from Ava. Objectively, I know that I’m not the one who Banished a young woman from my pack for getting pregnant. That’s not something I would ever do. But I can’t help but feel responsible for what happened to her. I can’t believe her Father did that to her. It’s unimaginably cruel. Now I know why she’s so guarded. Why she’s built all the walls around her heart to protect herself, why she only seems to have one good friend in the Human, Lou. I knew that Ava was hurt, but it was a betrayal of her entire family and pack. I’m clear in my mind that she did nothing wrong. They betrayed her. They made a vulnerable young woman a Rogue and sent her out into the world, alone. I want to tear them all apart. Part of me, the darker part of my Spirit, is sorry her Father has already passed, so I can’t kill him myself. I feel a sickening desire to ruin them all, to bring the Silver Stream to its knees. I understand, completely, why Ava doe
