Hope you enjoyed the chapter. I have sprinkled some easter eggs around the last few chapters. Can anyone guess what it is!?!
(ARES) His body went rigid when he crossed her room. "I could smell her here. You lied." He pushed the door to Elyn's room open, and sniffed and his eyes turned sad as he looked around. But of course, she wasn't there. "Can you?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Can you also scent something else?" "You are taunting him, you fucker. I love you!" Storm cheered. "Well, I am still not sure what I feel about you..." Liam's eyes narrowed and then he gasped as he took a step back, as if I had just punched him in his gut. The eyes that looked back at me were full of violence and grief, and I realized... the bastard loved her, too, whether or not he knew it, and he was mated to her sister. And I also realized that I hated it. I hated everything about him, too. "If you consider her as a friend, you will go back and tell her father she isn't here. At all." My voice came out harsher than I intended, but I didn't care. I looked at Liam Black's rigid back and I felt a strange sense of satisfact
(ELYN) "Well, it is a long story, but I think Ares should be the one to tell you about it.""Yeah, in my dreams," I scoffed as I closed my eyes. "You know... I often wonder about why I have born like this. My mom is a gamma warrior, and my dad is an Alpha. Why did I not have a wolf? What happened to my wolf? Why did the moon goddess miss me while she handed out the souls of the wolves?""I don't know the answer to any of that, but you are awesome the way you are." "Well, that is subjective, but yes, I do believe I am more than just awesome," I shrugged. "And so humble."I didn't know what it was... but I felt relaxed and comfortable sitting here, talking with her. Like riding on her wolf somehow gave us an understanding. I had never had a girl friend, except Reyna. Maybe this would be good for me. "So, how are you going to tell your brother and Ares that you have found your mate, and he is from the enemy pack? Oh, the perils of forbidden love." "That is something I don't want to t
(ELYN) "There is nothing there for me."He flinched. "There is. There is me, and Reyna and your mother." "Even with all of you... I still hate it. I never liked it." "But why now? Did the Alpha asshole threaten you or something?" Liam's eyes were fierce and overprotective. He looked at me like he would destroy Ares just to save me from his evil intentions, but I didn't need saving. Not from Ares, at least. "No, he doesn't threaten me. In fact, he wanted me to get the hell out of his pack." "So come back home." "It is not home. It has never been home to me, Liam. Home is a place where you feel safe and secure and warm. I have never felt safe in the Turquoise Falls, and you know it." "You feel safe here?" Liam narrowed his eyes as he gave me a dark look, his lips pressed together in distaste. "I do. And you need to go back, and please don't come back," I whispered. He took a step back from me, looking very offended. His eyes flashed in pain, and it hurt me to do this, but I had
(ARES) I hadn't missed the look of heartbreak and bliss when I saw her hugging Liam whatever. Storm wanted to rip her away from him, and I almost wanted the same, but I knew no good would come out of that. "Give me the sword, Ares, or I promise I will kiss you right here," she whispered as her gray eyes clashed with mine, and I could see the determination in her eyes. This stubborn little Ifrinn! I could easily take out the hounds from hell, but this one... no. Even through the anger of knowing that she had lied to me, even through the resentment that came with the knowledge that she was the daughter — even though illicit — of the man I hated the most, she affected me. "NO." I struggled so hard to take a step back, but I did. And another. Until I could breathe without her essence and her scent suffocating my senses. "This is childish," Kai said as he looked at me. "Just give her the sword." "I don't have to. This is my pack and my sword and-" "My lips and mass and my dick. Yo
(Liam) My sword fell when I saw Reyna's wolf, Riva bounding from between the trees, her body trembling in anger, her nose flared in anger. I expected her to come towards me, but she swerved at the last moment, and bounded towards the pack house. My eyes narrowed as I watched her. From where she came from, I was almost sure she went to the Silvercrest pack, but why? "Man, I almost killed you," Enzo, my fighting partner and my other best friend, said as he stopped his sword just a few inch from my face, panting. "What the hell is wrong with you, Liam? You don't look like yourself at all, since yesterday. What happened in the Sivercrest pack? Was Elyn really there?" I almost wanted to tell him about Elyn, but I couldn't. I didn't. I had promised that Alpha asshole that I wouldn't say anything to anyone and then Elyn this morning, and I was going to keep the promise, but I didn't want to. I wanted to bring her back here. I didn't know why I couldn't stop thinking about her or the look
(Before Elyn came to Turquoise Falls) (Elyn) "You can use me all you want," Ares's voice was a breathy whisper as he looked at me, his eyes soft and wonderful and the twitch in my heart grew and it tilted further down. "Can I?" I breathed out as I stared into his magnificent eyes, my heart banging loudly against my chest. Something had changed, and I didn't know whether I wanted it to change or not, but it didn't matter. What I did or didn't want. It had happened, and I knew I couldn't get away from this, or turn the time back and go back to how it was once between us. I had told myself... NO FUCKING FEELINGS. But did I heed to my own warnings? What did the tell about once bitten, fucking shy of it?! I had never followed any rules, had I? I knew there was something big coming, something I was not ready for, but for now, I didn't want to think about that, or Reyna, or Liam. Nothing. I only wanted to think about Ares and everything he hid beneath his shirt. And when Ares looked
(ELYN) Luna Amelia stalked towards me, her steps purposeful, her eyes brewing with her rage, and I watched as my sister stared at us, her eyes bewildered and confused. She didn't move from where she was standing. She was rooted in place as she watched the chaos happening around her. The shock and the flicker of pain in her eyes... I wish I could somehow protect her from this, but her mother was not ready to stop this. She was done pretending in front of Reyna, and I could see it in the bitch's eyes. "You will die here today. I have enough of you and your meddlesome ways. When you are gone, everything will be okay." I felt her claws digging into the side of my neck and I winced in pain when she tightened her fingers around my throat. My lungs burned, and everything hurt as I looked at Amelia and her hateful eyes. There was no life in them. Only pure anger and malevolence. For something I hadn't done. "Reyna - you are hurting Reyna," I whispered as I looked at my sister, who looked
(ZIEN) The town was loud and noisy. I could immediately smell the wolves. My nose twitched. Meera walked closer to me, her eyes scanning everywhere. She looked just as peeved as I was to be amidst the midst. Wolves were... just not our kind of animals. "So, this is where she is?" Meera asked, her distaste evident in her voice as we walked along the busy streets, scanning the crowd of people, my eyes focused on every face. "No, she is in a pack land, not here," I said with a frown. I had been keeping track of her since my uncle told me about her, and how she was going to be my salvation, my way to earn my throne back and defeat the monsters who stole my throne from me. "Turquoise Falls, you said?" she asked as she studied my face, her brows knotted together, her plump lips disappearing between her teeth. I could easily sense her feelings. I shook my head. "I don't know. We will find her. But first, we need to find the blood stones and I have to get my power back." I said as a so
