Brandon Taylor POV"How are you, son?" my visibly tired mother asks me."As best I can in the given conditions" I tell her and walk next to Camilla and help her sit down easily. Her pregnancy is very advanced and if things go well next week she will give birth for sure.For the last two months, my mother has been constantly helping us. We are on the territory of the Golden Moon Pack, in an isolated area where we know we are not bothering anyone. Only my mother knows we're here.I found my peace with Camilla next to me. We have each other. It's all we have, but we're fine. After Camilla gives birth, I will beg my father to receive her in his house. I don't think he'll let me get close to the pack, but Camilla is not to blame for my nonsense."You look tired." I tell my mother while I'm holding Camilla, I'm holding her lightly in my arms so I can handle her belly."I am just worried. "Mom says so." Your father is at the Crescent Moon Pack to help them.”"What happened in Elle's pack?" I
My whole body hurts, I feel like my abdomen is actually torn to pieces."Athena?" but she doesn't answer me. "Athena !!!!!" and all I hear is the sound of medical devices. No sign of Athena.What happened to me?I can barely open my eyes and look around. I try to cling to anything I know to figure out where I am, but nothing I see makes me realize where I could be.I'm connected to a bunch of wires and some medical devices, but I'm not even in the hospital. Do I have dialysis? What the fuck is happening?What is this hideous place? Hunting trophies are hung all over the room. I try to get out of bed but it hurts too much. I can not stand up. The pain is unbearable."Athena!" I shout again. "No, no, no…" but before I start to despair I remember what happened. Wolfsbane and silver… I'm sorry Athena, I know you hear me… It'll be fine!I put my hand on my belly and walk with my fingers over the massive bandages that I find. Whoever is behind what happened will pay dearly.But again, where
"Did you give her more wolfsbane?" asks this scumbag king looking at me totally unhappy."Yes, my King," says Archer. "Her wolf is almost completely asleep. A few more days and you will be able to do what you want. "Or my wolf is almost aweak and you will must find a place to hide yourself because I'll look for you even in the snake hole to find you and make you pay for what you did."Several days?" says the nervous king going to Archer and hitting him hard "Several days? I told you I wanted to fix her today. "“My king! Some things can't be rushed, I've already explained to you, "says Archer. “She is far too strong, even for a wolfsbane. She is a creature at the boundary between reality and magic. If you don't want to lose her, please let me do it at her own pace, ”says Archer.What is the boundary between reality and magic? What is he talking about?"Does that problem you told me about have anything to do with the fact that she's reacting so slowly?" Is it necessary to get rid of t
I sit alone for minutes and try to process the information received.It seams that I am some fucking… thing… which is kind of some war machine… that comes from a kind of arrogant and crazy king, but damn strong. I'm mystical. And the icing on the cake is that I'm the life dream of this madman who is unfortunately our king.Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!What good joke!So I can't stop laughing. God! I say while my laughter is no longer laughing but something sinister that scares me too. I'm going crazy…I am some fucking monster!"No, you are not…""When you hear the story from the king's mouth, you don't really want to argue on this subject." I say totally confused."The king is only looking at what suits him. An Arcadian wolf is more than that. ”I sigh and look at the door. There is no one. I raise my head and look bitterly. Who the hell am I talking to?“Oh my goddess! Athena?!?!?!? ”“Ohhh, my goddess! Elle? ” says Athena, laughing profusely. "I am here, Elle, I am here.."I cry and laugh an
"How are you, Miss Elle?" Archer asks, looking sadly at me."I am not feeling well, Dr. Archer," I say, leaning my head back. For two days I felt very tired and nausea accompanied me constantly.The food that is brought to me daily by the king's servants seems fine, and Dr. Archer assured me that the king had no intention of poisoning me. He just wants to get rid of Athena for a few hours and implement his plan, and then he wants me to be as healthy as possible. He has nothing to do with me being sick.Dr. Archer approaches and puts his hand on my forehead. He checks my throat, my lymph nodes, he takes my pulse and then he feels my abdomen and I feel those butterflies in my stomach again.Dr. Archer looks at me and smiles." I'll give you something for nausea. Rest, okay?. Is Athena doing well? ” He asks me while he is preparing a medicine syringe for me. He sits next to me on the bed and looks at me carefully."I'm fine, Doctor," says Athena through the mindlink. "Tomorrow I hope to
"Brandon!"Everything hurts. Beyond my own pain, every particle of my body, my soul and my mind hurts. Everything in me is screaming for help, I feel like I'm dying but I know it's not my pain, I know it's not my fear. These are Brandon's feelings and I feel them through our mate bond which is still intact. Half of the rejection is equal to zero if it is not accepted by both parties."Make room!" I hear Dominic screaming and taking Brandon after me. He looked around in panic."Watch the area!"“Brandon! Son! ” shouted Kevin Taylor, actually falling to his knees next to me and Brandon.Jake and Michael place Brandon and Dominic tries to lift me up but I can't think of anything right now. Brandon saved my life! Brandon fell to the ground because he stepped between me and Alpha King, and the claws that were meant to tear my heart out found another destination."Brandon ..." I say, falling to my knees beside him and crying. "What did you do that for?" I ask him crying."Elle, you are my m
Someone once said that angels accompany us to the end and beyond the end. Somehow the angels do not double the providence, but realize it and fulfill it."But who am I to think of angels?" Elle kept wondering.As soon as Brandon said goodbye to her, Elle realized that her whole past was just a road to fulfilling a mission she didn't understand either. But after all that has happened to her and all the feelings today that have stirred her soul to the point of unbearability, Elle has realized more than ever that she is far too small in this universe to oppose her fate.All the way to the Crescent Moon Pack, Dominic held her in his arms without saying a word. He doesn't understand many things that happened today but the certainty that Elle is his fated mate makes him not care about anything. He looks at Elle asleep in his arms. Wounded. Full of blood. Part of it is her blood. Part of Brandon. He looks at her sleepily and only hopes that the love he has for her will be enough for her to o
Those last days I let go of all my resentment and pain. I don't know how to explain it to you, but it was like an escape from my own mind and body. These days I felt like my past was disappearing, but I found myself as soon as I was willing to leave behind what was pulling me down.Herman Hesse said that some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is just about letting go.From the very first moment when I let go of what I was, I became what I might be and when I let go of what I had, I received what I needed so desperately in my life.I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself. Fatigue can be seen on my face. I feel matured overnight. I wear some blue ultra-soft high-neck tank and cheeky matching shorts PJ set. I look in the mirror and analyze my body. Athena is already in top form and there is no sign of her incapacity that she was abducted last week. We are both healed.Only the traces of the wounds caused by the silver bullet are more visible and a few bru
