Mara

“The humans are coming for us, Mara,” Johnathan says. “They want to eradicate us. We have to be ready.”

I look at the Alpha with new eyes. He sounds a little unhinged. Downright paranoid. But he believes it. I can see it in his eyes.

I don't. The world is a big place, and I’ve never seen the humans working together to achieve anything. They hate each other as much as we seem to hate each other, and they're always at war with one another.

“Are you going to say something?” Johnathan asks sarcastically. “Or did you swallow your tongue again?”

That stings a little. Can he not see that I'm trying my best? “I mean...I don’t know what you want me to say. I don’t think humans are capable of wiping all of us out.”

“You should speak to Susarah,” he says. “Find out what happened to the wolves where she lived.”

“That’s one place. Red Ridge is safe.”

“Red Ridge belongs to your father. Like Haven’s Crest belongs to me.”

I press my lips together, afraid that I'll say something stupid.

    JohnathanPreston enters my office for our regular meeting at exactly nine a.m. He lives on the compound in a cabin, but not in the main house with me. The place is big and there’s more than enough space, but unlike most pack wolves, we both like our privacy.Rogues are just built different.“Where’s Mara?” he asks as he closes the door behind him.“Out by the pool. I think she’s napping,” I answer.Before I phone Douglas and give him the ear washing he deserves, I want to get my daily meeting with Preston behind me.“Napping?” Preston asks surprised. “Shouldn’t she be attending the meeting? Isn't that her job?”“She didn’t sleep last night.”A smile plays around my Beta’s lips. “Are you bending the rules, Johnathan Banks?”“Just this once.” I didn’t sleep much either, but I’m used to it. Mara looked like she was ready to collapse when she came down for breakfast. “Johnathan Banks, changing the Bankonian calendar for a she-wolf.”I growl a soft warning at my Beta before I pull the va

    JohnathanMara isn’t at the pool. I follow her scent to a shrub on the edge of my property. There’s a low fence to stop anyone from falling over the cliff, and she managed to roll up against it where she fell asleep in the shade.Thank fuck I had the forethought to put the fence up when Greg started walking, or she’d be at the bottom of that cliff now. I kneel next to her and take in her appearance. She’s healing slower than most humans I know. The last bruises Lucas left on her skin are still dark blue and purple. If anything, the bruises are much worse today than they were yesterday. There’s a particularly bad one on her forehead, and greenish-blue one on her jaw.She's just bruises on top of bruises. I can’t even begin to imagine what her body must look like. She keeps hiding herself, even in the stifling heat, by wearing long sleeves. Last night, she pulled the sheet all the way up to her neck so I couldn't see her arms and legs.Today, she’s dressed in a hoodie and jeans. Sweat

    MaraI come to as Johnathan lays me down on the bed and disappears into the bathroom. A few seconds later, I hear the splash of water as he opens the taps and starts to fill up the tub.He comes striding back into my room, wiping his wet hands on his tan coloured shorts. His jaw is set, dark eyes already flashing a warning. “Take that fucking thing off,” he says.I have nothing on underneath the hoodie except for my bra. I thought if I added another layer it would be too much to handle in this heat. Now I know why everyone here dresses in shorts and t-shirts or the skimpy dresses. It's so hot here that I expect to see fried birds falling from the sky."Mara," he says in a low, dangerous tone. "Take that ridiculous hoodie off right now."I don’t want Johnathan to see me in the my underwear. I don't want anyone to see me naked for that matter.Wolves aren’t usually bashful about nudity. We’re used to shifting in packs and getting naked in front of each other, but it’s been so long sinc

    Mara“I feel fine,” I say.I don’t really. The buzzing inside my skull is getting worse, the world blinks in and out of existence, and for whatever reason, I’m terrified.The fear is the worst of it. I’ve never been so scared in my life. It’s as if the grim reaper is standing next to me, squeezing my heart.And I can’t breathe.I sag to the floor, still keeping my breasts covered. Johnathan kneels in front of me and almost roughly forces my hand away from my chest. “Stop fighting me,” he orders. Still frowning, he places two fingers on my pulse. “Your heartbeat is weak,” he says. “I can barely feel it.”This has happened to me before. The first time, Lucas sent for a healer, the second time he told me to stop being so fucking dramatic. “My blood pressure,” I say through little gasps of air. "Sometimes it drops."“What blood pressure?" Johnathan asks with a smirk. "It’s not there.”I’m vaguely aware of the Alpha turning his head in the direction of the door and calling out, “We’re in

    JohnathanI have seen some gruesome shit in my day, but nothing shocked me as much as seeing the many healed and healing scars that criss-crossed Mara’s back.Two years. He did all of that in just two years. Beating her must have been a daily ritual. Something he did to pass the time or amuse himself.I’ve seen worse than that on other wolves, but seeing Mara’s injuries angers me more, and I want to rip Lucas’s intestines out through his mouth.It explains a lot. As I walk to Gregory’s room, I quietly curse myself for being so irritated with Mara and impatient with her for being so meek. I didn’t know the extent of her mistreatment. I did not think it was possible for a little Omega to take that much abuse and live to talk about it.It says something about her will to live. Her true strength.Greg comes sailing around the corner, holding a toy plane in the air and making whooshing noises. “Daddy!” he screams and leaps into my arms.“Hey, big fella,” I say and ruffle his hair. “Did yo

    JohnathanI spend the rest of the day sitting outside Greg’s room, listening to him as he throws an epic tantrum. It hurts my heart, but I force myself to stay where I am. Giving it to him will send the wrong message.I can hear the crashing of toys and furniture, but I don’t go in until he quiets down. I find his room in ruins. Broken toys and furniture strewn all over the place. My exhausted boy is lying of the mess where he cleared a little space for himself, fast asleep.He pulled all the linens off his bed, and shoved the heavy mattress almost halfway off the frame. I rearrange his bed, pick him up and gently lay him down, making sure that the aircon is blowing directly on him.He’s covered in sweat, and his cheeks are bright red.People sometimes think Alpha boys are just regular children. They’re not. They’re stronger than children twice their age, smarter than most adults, and stubborn as all get out. They can take a punch that will knock a grown human male flat on his ass.We

    MaraI wake in a flat panic. Sweat drips from my body and my heart pounds painfully against my ribs as air races past my lips.I had a nightmare. Lucas chased me through the woods back at Red Ridge, swinging his ‘special belt’ over his head like a lasso. "I have you now, Mara," he taunted me in a voice that sounded a lot like Johnathan's. "You broke my rules. You have to be corrected."*Calm yourself,* a voice in my head says. *You are safe now.*It’s a new voice. One I heard it earlier today for the first time, when Johnathan checked on me. The voice told me that the Alpha won’t hurt me, that I can trust him.I believed to that voice, trusted it. She sounded like my mother, and I thought it was just me, having a little conversation with myself, but now I’m not so sure.The voice feels much realer this time.Wiping sleep from my eyes, I sit up in bed and look around the dark room, my eyes fixing on the silhouette in the window.Johnathan is sitting sideways on the windowsill, one leg p

    JohnathanThere’s a storm brewing inside me. It’s like a hurricane slowly building over time. Growing bigger, stronger, deadlier. It scares me sometimes, the sheer magnitude of it. I'm afraid of what will happen when I finally break open and start to rain blood on everyone.I’ve never told anyone about my past. My past, like everyone else’s in Haven’s Crest, is off-limits. It’s too painful. Humiliating. Especially for an Alpha.Keeping our pasts where they belong is one of the reasons everyone feels so welcome in Haven's Crest. It's a place where they can start over, where they can leave their demons behind.I wouldn’t have told Mara anything at all, but the gods are talking to her. That has to mean something. If nothing else, it means she didn’t come to Haven’s Crest because of me. She came here because she is supposed to be here.I will tell her only what is important. The things she needs to know to believe. I'll tell her about Minos and what he showed me. Maybe the part about ho

    Johnathan“I’m sorry,” I say to Kahn after our hurried meeting.Mara and Talitha already left with Oberon to bring the town’s children to the fae forest. The Omegas and humans who can’t, or won’t, fight are heading off into the woods to hide in the caves.“I’ve waited hundreds of years,” the vampire comments dryly. “Another month won’t kill me.”“You might die tonight.”He just shrugs. “Unlikely, but if I do… I hope Frans dies with me so we can be together in the afterlife.”That is such a cold way of looking at it, but I guess it’s pragmatic under the circumstances. I don’t mind dying tonight, but I don’t want Mara to die. The only reason I’m still fighting is for her and Gregory. It’s as good a reason as any other. A man who doesn’t have a reason to fight is a useless soldier. He’ll give up as soon as things get too difficult.“Why are you even fighting?” I ask Kahn. “If you’d rather be dead?”“I don’t want to die,” he answers calmly. “I just wouldn’t mind if I do. I’m really fucki

    JohnathanWhile the rest of the town is becoming complacent, going on with their lives as if nothing is wrong, I’ve been working, never relaxing, never letting my guard down.It's not over, not even by a long shot. I keep my soldiers fit, healthy and battle ready. We have accumulated a staggering amount of weapons and heavy artillery, all of it hidden from view. Oberon assures me that the humans’ satellites can’t penetrate our magical veil, but I’m sceptical. No magic is infallible, just as the humans aren’t infallible, and those fuckers are industrious. I wouldn’t be surprised if they develop some kind of technology that can ‘see’ through our protections.It only took us two years, but we finally found a crack in the human allies’ armour. The brilliant people I appointed over that time managed to find backdoors into the humans’ computer system and started intercepting their encrypted communications.I have no idea how they’re doing it, and I decided not to ask. There are some thing

    MaraJohnathan makes a plate of food for my father and hands it to him. To my surprise, my dad sits as far away from us as possible. "I know how much I stink," he announces. "I don't want to spoil anyone's appetite."With my father seettled for now, I can finally ask Kahn the question I've been burning utter since the trio showed up here, “How did you kill Thrax?”“They were hiding in a cave. He was in the death sleep. So old, and he still couldn't resist it. I just dragged him out into the sun, and poof. Dead in seconds. It was kind of disappointing really. I wanted fireworks. Anyway... we stuck around just to make sure he didn’t come back after sunrise.”“Good,” my mate says. “So it’s all sorted?”“Yeah, looks like it,” Kahn says.I look at Eli who is still chowing down. It's as if he can't stuff the food into his mouth quickly enough. "What happened at Red Ridge?"The vampire looks at Eli who doesn't utter a word, he just grunts and moans as he keeps chewing. It's my father who ans

    Mara“What if we’re wrong? I ask. “What if he’s been playing us all this time?”It’s the first time since the incident with his mother that I feel I can talk to Johnathan about my concerns. He had so much to deal with, his heart was so heavy, that I did not really want to pile on. But if Eli has my father then I can’t postpone it anymore.“You saw him in your vision. Rick was torturing him. They don't usually torture people who cooperate.”“Yes, but there’s… a ripple effect, isn’t there? When we change the future, we don’t just change the outcome, we change other things too. It’s almost as if- the whole world bends around the new future we’ve created.”“The butterfly effect,” my mate says with a little smile. “One small action can affect the larger system.”A puff of air explodes from my lips. I’m relieved that he understands. “Exactly.”“Okay.” He smiles at me. “If he is on his way here, then it means we’ve altered the course of our destiny, correct?”I nod.“Then we’ll just have to

    JohnathanThe inside of my skull explodes with hot rage so intense that I see the world through a thick haze of red. I am aware that I am on my feet, snarling and growling at the vampire. Dante surges, ready to rip Kahn’s throat out. I’m only vaguely aware of the others’ presence. “You had no right,” I grit past my teeth. “You took my vengeance from me. It was over!”“Can you excuse us?” Kahn asks the others.“No, they can not. Who the hell do you think you are?” I curl my hands into fist, aware that I won’t be able to hang on to Dante much longer.Kahn would probably survive if I tear him to shreds, but I wonder if he’ll survive being eaten.I blink, and the vampire is on top of me, his hands curled around my neck. I fall backward, missing the edge of the chair by an inch.“You have no clarity anymore,” Kahn says, and lets me go.Enraged I get to my feet, ready to pull him apart like a fly. I look around at the empty dining room, and my anger simply fizzles. “When did everyone leave

    MaraI expect both of them to go their own way once we’re home, but Ilsa and Rhoda follow me into the pack house to the kitchen. “Are you hungry?” I ask Rhoda, who nods and takes a seat.“We should have a girl’s night,” Ilse declares. “Booze, bad movies, complain about our guys.”“Tha’ actually sound like fun,” Rhoda says.“What about your guy?” I ask her and go to the fridge to check what we have.We’ve been missing a lot of meals, but the Omegas still come to the kitchen to cook every night and store our meals for us.“Lemme do tha’ lovey,” Rhoda says and rushes over to the fridge to take over. “Yeh shouln’t be serving me anyway.”“Sit down,” I gently order her. “I don’t mind, and you must be tired too.”Despite her cheerful, almost flippant nature, towards me, I can see how troubled her eyes are when I tell her to sit down.I look at the vampire who is regarding us with a small little smile. “Do you want a drink? We always have whiskey and I think there’s wine.”“Wine doesn’t have

    MaraJohnathan shows up at the hospital just as I start to leave. After twelve hours in labour, Haley finally had her baby, a strong, healthy boy. It has been a long day, and all I want to do is go home, take a long shower, and crawl into bed.“Hey Johnathan,” says as he gets out of his car. “How did it go?”“As good as it can go with these things, I guess. Healthy four kilogram baby.”Johnathan whistles through his teeth. “Big boy.”I nod and yawn, wiping sweat from my brow. The days are growing increasingly hot and muggy. “She named him Nelson.”“Interesting choice.”“It was her father’s name.”“Ah,” my mate grunts. “Both are doing well?”“Yes. Tell you what, though… I was completely wrong. I’m never having any babies.”Johnathan chuckles. “Yes. Seeing it in person is not as magical as it is on television. But, truly Mara, there is nothing like holding your baby for the first time. It’s like… your heart is beating outside your body and inside that kid.” His eyes grow misty. "And wat

    JohnathanBefore I can interrogate Kahn any further, he’s gone again. “Fucking vampire,” I mutter to myself, but I can’t stop the smile from spreading across my face.“Well, if it makes you feel any better, it looks like I’ll be very busy today,” Donovan says dryly.“Hm,” I grunt. “Where the hell did he get one of those soldier things?”“At Red Ridge?”“Kahn hasn’t left Haven’s Crest for months.”“Are you sure?”I nod. “Quite.”It takes Kahn an inordinate amount to return, but such is the nature of this beast. I’ve come to learn that the kind of warfare I chose, comes in flurries of activity, and long periods of quiet unease that could drive a person up the wall with madness. I keep reminding myself that we are playing a long game and we have to be patient, but we are wolves. We’re not made for this kind of fight. We like a more hands-on approach.Kahn reappears just over an hour later, accompanied by a willing super soldier. On the outside, he looks like an impressive human, almost

    JohnathanMara lies tightly curled against me, fighting hard not to fall asleep. Kahn told me what she said to Eli after we left the temple, and it blew me away, just confirming that I made the right decision. Having her father here with her, will give her some peace.Sending my weakling brother and a flip-flopping vampire like Thrax to Red Ridge as a Lycan was an extremely risky move, but I can’t go and Mara with her abilities should definitely never be captured.Putting Thrax back together was horrific. We could hear his body joining, flesh squelching, sinews creaking, then the sudden whoosh of blood starting to circulate. The vampire inhaled deeply and screamed as he sat up, nearly shattering our eardrums.“Oh, shut up, you drama queen,” Kahn said and knelt in front of him with a bottle of fresh blood. “Has no one ever cut off your head before?”“No, as a matter of fact, that has never happened,” Thrax said in a breezy, pained voice.“Fun isn’t it?” Kahn asked and held the bottle t
