“What are you going to do about this, Bastian?” I look up at my father as he towers over me. “Don’t look at me like that! You really fucked this up.”
I scrub my hands over my face and sigh. “I know what I’ve done. But I was following what you’ve always told me about rogues.”
“Do not turn this on me, boy! You have a mind of your own; you should have used it! How could you reject your mate? It shouldn’t have mattered who you thought Lillian was; you should have accepted her!”
My father yelling at me is all well and good, but it won’t change anything. I was stupid, and I lost my mate because of my actions.
My parents have been good friends with the Dalgaard’s for years. So why then didn’t I recognise Lillian?
I feel so stupid, but I have no one to blame but myself.

Dancing, they say it’s good for the soul. Not that I’m much of a dancer, but I give it my all on a night out.I shouldn’t have gone to a nightclub with my friends, but I haven’t been feeling too good of late. I know it’s all my own fault for sending Bastian away, but it hurts.I don’t understand why I can’t forgive him and move on. It’s not like he physically hurt me, even if he did mentally. I healed, and I should be moving on, but I can’t.“Want me to walk you home?”I chuckle and shake my head at Rachel. “I’m a big girl with an even bigger wolf. I’m sure I can take care of myself.”She rolls her eyes while flicking her red hair over her shoulder. “Fine,”Rachel and I
I wipe the sweat from my brow then my naked chest. I’ve just spent two hours in the gym with Chris. I need to work some of the frustration out of me. However, after lifting weights and kickboxing, I don’t feel any better. Goddess knows what will help. ‘Getting our mate back?’ ‘Don’t start, Bane. I’m not in the mood.’ My wolf growls but stops talking. He’s barely bothered with me in days. Bane is angry with me for not going to Lilly and trying to make her understand that I want to make things works. He’ll just have to get over it because I won’t bow down to a woman so stubborn she’d hurt everyone like this. “So,” “So, what?” I raise my eyebrow at Chris. I watch as he throws his towel on the bench before sitting down. Chris isn’t as big as I am, nor as strong, but most aren’t. Though he’s a damn good Beta, I’d be lost without him sometimes, even if he does do stupid things. Kidnapping Lil
I wake up to the sound of my son crying yet again. Every night this week, Harry has woken up crying. It hurts my heart each time I walk into his room to see him sobbing.Every night, Harry asks when his Daddy will be coming home. I still don’t know what to tell him, and I hate myself for putting my son through this.Though I’ve told Harry that Bastian isn’t his father, he doesn’t seem to care. All Harry cares about is having Bastian hold him and make him feel safe. My little boy’s soul imprinted on Bastian’s, and vice versa. I saw it when their eyes clouded over, even their wolves imprinted. The same thing happened when I first held Harry, making me his mother, which makes Bastian Harry’s father.Great.Goddess
“Lilly!” I yell her name as I rush towards her. She’s in her father’s arms, and he’s looking at me as if I’d just murder his cat. I shouldn’t have done what I did; it was stupid. When I heard Lilly’s voice inside my head, I knew that she’d felt everything. I never wanted to hurt her, but I needed to feel something. Missing her hasn’t gotten any easier. I don’t have a damn clue how I got here so fast, but my wolf ran with the speed of lightning. I barely managed to pull my clothes on before pushing past the guards at the front door. No one in this world could ever keep me from Lilly, never again. Lilly looks so weak as she forces her father to put her down. She stumbles but clutches the countertop. “What do you want?” Lilly looks so pale, and she’s swea
Bastain hasn’t taken his eyes off me yet. When I stripped my clothes in the bedroom, I watched as Bastain did the same. I almost orgasmed looking at his body. So much muscle, yet it didn’t overshadow his body and his cock? Goddess, he’s massive! Don’t all women say that about their men? I dragged Bastian into the shower, letting the hot water pound down on our bodies. I took a cloth and body wash and began lathering Bastain’s big body. I washed every inch of him, making sure the scent of that woman was off my mate. I ached to touch him, but I couldn’t bring myself to until he was clean. I closed my eyes and groaned; unashamedly when Bastain poured body wash in his hands and began washing me. His big hands slide over me, and it felt so good! He even washed my hair
“Don’t you think this is all a bit much?” Luther rolls his eyes at me. “This is how things are done here, Bastian, get used to it. Lilly is the future Queen, and the Royal pack wants to celebrate her mating.” I get all of that, but all this extravagance is ridiculous. The mansion has been decorated for a ball; every room is filled with fancy decorations. It’s all fit for a princess and her mate, but I am not used to this kind of thing. I was fifteen the last time I attended a ball at Dalgaard Mansion. Even then, I ignored what was going on around me because I had better things to do. I can’t ignore it now because it’s been held or me. Goddess, help me get through this. ‘You’re ridi
“Bastain,” I groan out his name as he relentlessly ploughs into me. Bastain and I have been fucking for hours on end. Our appetites for each other seems never-ending. After Bastain was inducted into the Royal pack, we stayed a little over an hour at the after-party. I left Harry with my mother, who laughed while telling me to enjoy the evening. She knew where Bastain and I were headed, and I didn’t correct her. What would be the point? Of course, as soon as we entered my bedroom, we tore each other’s clothes off, literally. I dropped to my knees and finally tasted my mate. Goddess, he tasted perfect! Bastain fucked my mouth the way he fucks my pussy. He choked me then came down my throat so hard, his seed spilt from the sides of my mouth.
One Month Later.“How do we keeping missing her?”“I don’t know, Bastian,” Leander sighs. “But Lillian has definitely been here.”I look around at the carnage. Dead bodies litter the ground as far as the eye can see, torn apart as though their lives meant nothing.This is the fourth small village we’ve come across where every pack member has been slaughtered. There is never one man, woman or child left alive.There is no doubt who has done this when it’s pretty obvious. Lilly has been through here just as she did the other villages.When Lilly ran into the forest last month, she never returned. I had to deal with the aftermath
