MARIE
We arrived at Moon Rising a few days later where Aunt Jenna showed us up to a room that we could use to get ready for the Carnival and stay in. Tayo was under strict orders to have eyes on me at all times until Mylo got there, which meant having a front-row seat to the Ainsley and Tayo makeout show.
Looking at Ainsley I couldn’t help but feel happy for her, even if looking at her also entailed watching Tayo be down her throat. They did fit perfectly together, like I had missed all the signs growing up and wondering who Tayo would end up with.
Tayo was quiet in comparison to Alderic and Mylo, always trying to learn new techniques and incorporate more technology into both the pack and the security business. Where Mylo was stoic, Tayo was emotional and where Alderic was a class clown, Tayo reminded me of the

Mylo’s gaze was focused on me in a way I came to realize was him analyzing me. I hated it when he looked at me like this. Trying to figure out things that I didn't want him to know, that I was masking. We'd been taught as children how to keep our defences up and control our tells, but they were easier to control when you were on alert and in front of people you had to be guarded in front of. Being in front of family was a whole other thing because they knew you intimately. It was dad's ultimate test, if you could hide your reactions from each other, you could hide them from anyone. He was dressed formally for the Alpha meeting and his hazel eyes were intimidating when he was laid back, never mind when he was in full Alpha mode. I could see why the she-wolves in any pack I went to talked about him, he was dangerous

MYLO Marie. This little sister of mine was the only one, besides Miah maybe, that could get away with pushing back at me like she did. I could see the same fire in her eyes that all the Krul children had, but there was a sense of untouchability to her. I suppose it was my own fault, growing up Alderic and I had always placed her and Ainsley on a pedestal with us, it gave them a false sense of position and power which has only become a problem as of late. She looked stunning as I hand-delivered her to Mato. Her green eyes caught the attention of the two other guards who were to follow them around. They quickly diverted their attention, but I couldn't fault them. Marie’s eyes matched my father’s, only rivalled in their deep intensity by the eye colouring of the r

MYLO “We no longer go to such extremes, Dixon, and wolves are not Fae. I think we should keep an eye on this problem and revisit it.” Without a word, Alderic is up and escorting Dallas back into the building at my request. “Hold your tongue,” I challenged Dallas, “or you’ll find yourself hard-pressed to be able to use it.” Alexander stood up, bulking and breathing heavily so I matched his stance, I was larger than anyone here and I had every confidence in Kai’s fighting abilities. “Fae are the ones being made into blood bags as a source of drugs for the increasing Vamp population,” I continued, “something you should consider as being the larger problem here. Fae don’t have time or resources to challenge us when they are too busy running from the Vamp’s and they never have to begin with.” I turned my at

MARIEMato was all but dragging me around, pausing every so often to survey the passing people and give himself enough time to take in the scents around him. The only fun part of this was catching glimpses of the games going on and being able to snag some cotton candy. Thankfully I had Ainsley to drag onto a few rides with me during Mato’s pauses, and it seemed to pass the time quickly.With no scent, I was confident that I wouldn’t attract my mate, but there was always that chance. I’ve heard stories of mates knowing who their mate was before they were even old enough to have wolves, my mother being one of them, and mates being drawn to each other no matter what, like the queen and her kings, but I had to push those thoughts to the back of my mind. Surely those were extreme circumstances, I mean the queen was an Alpha, and my mother is a pretty

ALDERIC Leto wasn't thrilled when I shifted back into control. He had spent the better part of two days redirecting Kai back to Timber, and now that we were finally home he didn’t trust that Kai wouldn’t just take off again. I’m surprised he got him to come back at all, but the promise of more wolves, our best tracker, and the safety of our sisters is all that coaxed him here. I can’t say I would do any differently, he was desperate for the scent of his mate, and the rejection… the rejection. I can’t understand why someone would immediately reject their mate. I wasn’t about to talk suspicions with Mylo, but she could already be with someone she considers a mate but hasn’t marked, or she could be the kind who doesn’t believe in mates, hell, she could even be a Marie. She believes in mates, she just doesn’t wa

MARIEThe panic in my chest subsided as quickly as it came on. Their howls in the distance were my only assurance that Mylo wasn't coming up here for me. I would do anything for him, but I could never forgive myself if my visions led him astray.The door crept open and exhaustion filled me as my mother slipped into the room. It was better than anyone else, but I didn't need any more guilt trips today."I didn't know anything," I rolled my eyes, "regardless of what Mato thinks.""I didn't ask," she said, placing herself on the bed beside me, "and I had a conversation with your brother," she waited for me to look at her, "he wants what's best for you, even if he goes about it the wrong way."An acknowledging but unsur

MARIEI’ve been waiting to hear more news now for four days, and with not even a phone call from Alderic, things have been tense around my brothers.I made a decision in the garden to stop pushing my powers away and I’ve been trying to warm up to the idea ever since. I've been thinking about Mylo and about what his mate would be like to entice something to come to me, but I just can’t control them.Matt walked into the kitchen at lunch and looked like he’d seen better days. His auburn hair that was usually slicked back had fallen messily around his face, making it worse the more he played with it. The bags under his eyes made him look much older than fifteen as he plopped himself down in the chair opposite me. He looked at me like he was deep

MYLO It’s been over four weeks since I’ve laid eyes on her, thirty-four days to be exact, but every time I close my eyes… there she is. Her blue-green eyes drawing me in like the ocean themselves, pulling me under as her words took the breath from my lungs. I’ve replayed that moment too many times to count, the way my body was bulking in anticipation, inviting her to come and claim what is hers. The way the sun broke through the tree canopy, falling on her like an Angel delivered to Earth and highlighting the golden tones in her hair that rippled so perfectly in the wind. My utter adoration of her is what ultimately failed me. I didn’t notice the panic in her eyes. I didn’t notice the fear riddled in her motions. She was scared of something, and as her mate,
