(Kaeleigh’s POV)I snapped my eyes open. I could sense as soon as I woke up that I was in an unfamiliar place. I sat up in the bed I was in and looked round the room. It was a large room with crisp white furniture and decor in various shades of grey and silver. Other than the large bed that I was in, there was a pair of bucket chairs with silver framing and a deep grey velvet upholstery, and a matching sofa to the other side of the bed but that was facing a large TV. There was a white coffee table and the bedside tables were white with silver look edges and a matching console table against the wall with the TV on. The bed faced a large picture window that had sweeping grey velvet curtains that trailed the floor. The Bed was against a half wall and on the other side was a large white desk and a chair that matched the other chairs.There were three doors, o

(Chase’s POV) I woke up surrounded by her scent and, for a second; I smiled. Until I opened my eyes and found myself in Kaeleigh’s bed alone. Her scent was getting fainter every day. But I had spent last night in her bed again, needing her scent to help me settle my mind long enough for sleep. I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and the time told me that I had needed sleep. It was almost 10am and the recon team was due back by now. I jumped out of bed and grabbed a quick shower, before making my way downstairs to the conference room/ I was stopped on my way in by my mum who was trying to insist I had breakfast, but I needed to get up to date. I relinquished enough to take the bacon sandwich she was waving in front of my nose, but took it into the conference room with me.I walked in

(Chase’s POV)I fell to my knees panting. This one was so much worse and longer. It felt like I was having a heart attack.“Chase!” my dad appeared in front of me looking concerned. I shook my head as the pain receded. “I need my mate now,” I said, pulling myself up off the floor. “I can’t wait any longer, and I don’t think she can either.” We were in a small hotel room on the border of Crimson Shadow’s outer territory, with men trickling in slowly over the last hour. We had brought over 100 of our best warriors for the rescue and we were pretty much ready and they were in position at the access point. Meagan had confirmed that she was back in the compound and she planned to get Kaeleigh alone. We we

(Kaeleigh’s POV) I woke up in my bed, wrapped in Chase’s arms. It had been after midnight when we had got back to Dark Moon and even though it was late, it was still way too quiet. We had got back before the other warriors and I was refusing to go to bed until they were back safe and I could thank them for risking their lives for me. I was upset to hear that we had lost six of our own warriors in the attack and made it my business to ensure that their families were well looked after. Chase had a proud look on his face when he said that was what a true Luna did.  I was sitting with Meagan, who was anxiously waiting for the return of the other group, when I realised that I had heard one of her brothers mention her mate. She had excitedly told me that she and her mate Theo had known about each other for a couple of months, but her father didn’t approve. The

(Temperance’s (Kaeleigh’s mum) POV)*** Around 25 years and 6 months ago ***“Priestess Audrey, it is such an honour to have you visit,” I smiled at the stern woman in front of me. Her ash blond hair was pulled up in a tight bun and she wore a tailored grey skirt suit. “Yes, well, I felt we should talk about the recent revelations,” she said in clipped tones. I was sure being the High Priestess for the UK was a tough job, but I doubt that was what was causing the stick up her ass to chafe. I couldn’t help but sigh and roll my eyes, which earned me a disapproving glare in return.“Temperance, dear,” she said “You must understand that other than the Beaumont Coven the Sacred Circle Coven is one of the most p
