+25 BONUS

The dull grating pain that has been suppressed thanks to the tablets the doctor prescribed wears off in my sleep

and a piercing pain wakesup. The doctor wants to assessfurther, putback on machines. but | don't

want that. It will only be delaying the inevitable.

Even taking blood...the silver the doctor used burnt at my skin, | couldn't go through that on a daily basis. | am

not that strong. | know my fate, | will only be adding days on to it in the end.

I've been asleep for the past 4 years, | want to live every moment to its fullest, as fullest as | can.

| head downstairs into the kitchen to get a glass of water to take with my tablets when | hear giggling from the

sitting room. It was gone midnight, who would be up at this time.

Then | hear Kaia's low laughter, a sound | didn't often hear.

Peaking through the gap in the door, | expect to find them both on the sofa, but they aren't. They are both sat on

the floor by a fire, roasting what appears to be marshmallows. Looking cosy...too cosy for my liking.

| should leave, | was being nosey... rude watching but | couldn't help myself. Something withinclawed at me

not to trust him. Both Kaia and Beckett seemed grateful for his return, but | felt it was too well timed.

According to Kaia he had been communicating with her even during her tat the Amber Desert Pack. So why

now, why return now when she was reunited with her Father. Why not help her when she was alone, at her most

vulnerable. Maybe | was overthinking it but | felt his return had an ulterior motive. "This is totally unhealthy..."

Kaia giggles as she wipes melted marshmallow off her chin.

"Don't worry about it, you'll work it off in training tomorrow."

"Uh oh, sounds like a threat." Kaia giggles as she leans to the side pouring wine into her empty glass.

"I'm just following the Alpha's orders!" Samson smiles before placing a fresh untoasted mashmallow on the stick

and holding it above the fire.

"Which you do so well.." She slurs, was she drunk?

"Huh, I think you're the only one who thinks so." Samson scoffs as he pulls the stick out, blowing on the

marshmallow.

"What do you mean?"

"Beckett isn't in a rush to makeBeta. In fact, he seems to have forgotten." | can't believe what | am

watching..a beta totally over stepping the mark. Not only with his moaning of the alpha to the alpha's daughter

but now he is feeding Kala the marshmallow, wiping her lips clean with his fingers.

"No, of course he hasn't. He's just been preoccupied, what with Alora's return....he plans to Samson. He Just

wants to make her an official pack member and then he will make Samson, just give him time."

you the beta. You know he will

Do | want to be in a pack with Samson as the beta, I'm not entirely sure? He doesn't seem to trust me, but then |

don't trust him.

It works both ways | suppose.

Kala wasn't at breakfast and judging by Samson's dark circles under his eyes, they remained up until the early

hours of the morning. He can sensewatching him across the table, as he butters his toast and pours freshly

squeezed orange juice into his cup.

| had decided in the early hours of the moming that being a pack member would affordthe opportunity to

keep a closer eye on Samson, that feeling the pack bond running throughand as the alpha's daughter, |

might finally understand his intentions with my sister. She might trust him, but I don't..

For once in her life, Kaia needs someone who selfishly would look out for her and | don't think Samson is that

person. | know what it means forbut | feel this is exactly where | am meant to be, that I've cback for

her.

"Where is your Sister, its not like her to miss breakfast She's usefully the first up." Beckett asks as he puts down

his morning pack report.

"I think she had a late night." My eyes flicker to Samson who holds a small smirk to the corner of his lips.

"Alpha?" The doctor enters the alpha house and | have to smother the moan that wants to escape me. He was

persistent in trying to treat me.

"In here.....dont worry dear, he isn't here for you. Why don't you go for a walk this morning, only the inner pack

lands mind. Give you smore tto think about your future here." Beckett suggests as he stands up to join

the doctor in the privacy of his office "I don't need more time." "Oh?"

"I'm ready to join the pack." | stand up facing Beckett, deliberately blocking Samson from him. "That's fantastic

news, | will get things in motion. Just think, my girls...back withunder the spack link. Oh your mother

would be so happy." Beckett walks over to embrace me, holdingtightly.

| take Beckett up on his suggestion for a walk, but I do go further than he suggests....I go to the cliff tops

overlooking the ocean. Enjoying the morning view of the bay down below | close my eyes, letting my legs

overhang the edge as | take in the sun's mornings rays. A light breeze runs across the cliff tops only adding to

the tranquility of my surroundings. For a pack under constant threat it does feel peaceful at regular intervals, |

can see why Beckett is keen to protect that peace.

My own tranquil current moment however is under threat when | hear someone running tofrom behind. |

swing my legs away from the cliff's edge, turning to find an enraged Kala running up to me.
