Chapter 108
Alissa wove the evergreens together, the wreath finally looking like a wreath. She hadn’t participated in this for years and it felt nice to connect to her ancestors. The longest night was fast approaching and she was excited; Yule is a time of reflection, renewal, and celebration, and many people find that participating in age-old customs and rituals helps to deepen their connection to the season and its significance.
As Alissa prepares for the longest night of the year, she can take comfort in knowing that the darkness will soon give way to the light. Yule marks the beginning of the return of the sun, and with it, the promise of new growth, new beginnings, and new opportunities. By embracing the spirit of the season and participating in its traditions, Alissa can set the stage for a joyful and fulfilling year ahead.

Christmas music blasted from everywhere he went now. While he was working it was on the radio, when he went to get a drink from the local shop it was there too. It was strange.

Alissa fidgeted on her spot standing beside a wall within the human world. She didn’t want to have this conversation… but she had to. She’d convinced Luca it was best for it to all come from her. Now she was here she was less sure about that. She’d found a spot that was pretty isolated to wait for who she needed. There were no houses, just a park to one side that was empty and a metal box that was buzzing beside her. No houses and no people. All good. The man she wanted appeared around the corner just on time. He froze for a split second before continuing down the road. “Hi,” she greeted a little awkwardly. Michael nodded, almost sensing she wasn’t here for a friendly visit. “How are y

Kimberly was leant over the counter, half the washing up done. “Hey, you don’t need to do that,” Michael half scolded, half reassured, coming up behind her. He settled his arms around her, finding her belly wet with washing up water. “Should leave it for me.” “I feel so lazy.” “You’re due any day. You have grown a whole person inside you. You are not lazy.” He placed his hands under her belly, lifting for her to sag against him, a moan leaving her lips. “Oh, Jesus that feels good.” “Do it any time,” he whispered, the weight of his baby in his hands, her body against his chest as she sunk her weight against him. “Has he been kicking?” “Constantly.” “My

“Will she wake up?” Jack whispered, looking around the living room that he’d come to know somewhat. It was different to what he was used to but very common for humans. Michael shook his head, “No, she should be out for 8 hours.” “Good.” “I don’t like this,” Michael mumbled quietly. “It’s the only way, you know it is,” Jack reasoned, setting a hand on his brother’s shoulder. “You have to stay, she can’t suspect you.” “She shouldn’t lose her pup.” “She has to, if that pup grows up here…” “I know… I know. I just… He’s two weeks old… it’s too young. He’s too young to be taken.” “L

Luca dropped Alissa off at the end of the street. The semi detached houses had become a frequent site for Alissa. A scent Alissa couldn't place drifted up her nostrils as she walked towards Kimbery's house. Alissa knew the sight she was going to see. She was there to comfort her baby being lost. The smell was getting stronger as she walked up the path. Something was wrong, the black door had been left open. Alissa quickened her pace. A scene of destruction met her eyes. Kimberly's home had been ransacked. A trail of blood led into the kitchen. She followed it, being careful where she stood. She could place the smell now, it was death. She knelt beside Kimberly's body. Alissa begun to shake “Luca!” she pushed her mind to him “Luca, Kimberly's dead!

She was watching like a ghost of past ancestors but it felt very normal as she watched Malachi in bed. It should have been strange, just watching the big Scot, he looked pretty peaceful sleeping. Was he dreaming? Was his mind blank?A bang suddenly thundered through her mind… through the castle. The large man’s eyes flung open. He grunted as he peered out the arched window haloed with rough stone. The sun had not yet risen, he frowned in complete confusion. A question he didn’t utter but she knew the question was Who would be calling at his castle at this time of night?“Help!” the desperate cry had him moving. She felt she was part of him… yet far enough away. An observer.He bolted from bed without a second thought and ran down

Michael stared at the ceiling.Numb.He was completely and utterly numb.He hadn’t felt anything since being dragged back to the pack house. He barely even remembered the journey, or even getting here. One minute he was holding his beautiful Kimberly in his arms, the next Jack and Luca were dragging him through the corridor to his room. All he could see was her… his love… dead. Torn open. When he closed his eyes that’s all he saw. When the room was dark… that’s what he saw. When the curtains let in light. Yeah, her. Dead. The image was plastered on his eyelids no matter what he did.He knew he’d have to leave her soon. Knew their days were numbered but he’d always thought… Always hoped that maybe he could se

His arms were stretched above him, the room was dark until a haze of seven chairs glimmered in front of him but they were empty. A disembodied voice burnt his ears. “You are charged with murder of an Alpha. What say you?”“I didn’t,” he replied immediately. “I haven’t killed anyone,” his voice sounded odd to his ears, it was his voice. He looked around but it was like his gaze couldn’t move from the seven chairs.Movement allowed him to turn to see a figure that had his blood running cold. “You did, son.”“Da’?” he whispered, not really believing it. He looked pale, skeletal. Not the large, strong Alpha he’d been in his life.&ldqu
