Chapter 1 — When My World Crashes Down

SKYLA.

I snicker as Azura sticks her tongue out, we're on video call, her and Kat are together, and Song alsojoined in on the call. She's super busy these days trying to learn the ropes as she settles into herposition at the coven but they all happened to be available the moment I told them I had the mostincredible mind-blowing sex that was out of this world and I let this literal sex god mark me.

That was enough for them all to instantly demand a video call.

Bitches.

“I swear, stop holding back deets!” Azura growls, clearly getting frustrated. I told you about Leo!”“Yuck, he's my cousin! Although I still am intrigued with the ladder..." I say tapping my chin,imagining Royce with a pierced dick. “Na I think I like my man ladder-less. I mean how does it feelwhen you take it in your mouth?”

Song laughs, despite going completely red in the face.

“Well, I'll tell you if you tell me the deets of your night!” Azura says.

“I'm not going to tell you every little detail! But, I will tell you that he's fucking kinky and damn, doeshe know how to fuck.” I say, feeling my cheeks burn and my pussy clench as I remember last night.Oh, fuck I want him buried in me all over again.

“That mark though... It's breath-taking.” Kataleya says, going back to my mark.

I had just shown them my mark a few minutes earlier and filled them in. They were all shocked atthe fact that I am mated, but happy for me.

Kataleya now blushes as she cradles Phoenix, who is content in her arms, watching the screen withfascination.

That little dumpling is the cutest, juiciest little chubby chunks in the world!

"Oh, kinky... tell us how.” Azura says smirking.

“No,” I say stubbornly, wrapping my arms around a cushion as I hug it to my chest. I smile, thinkingof last night again.

“She's being unfair and keeping all the steamy details to herself! Zu, tell her to share hun!” Songcomplains.

“I know! But come on, for someone to make Sky blush... that's seriously some kinky hot sex.” Azurareplies deviously.

"Oh absolutely, Royce sounded like such a gentleman...” Kataleya muses.

“Those end up being the naughtiest.” Azura says with obvious confidence. “I'm happy for youthough.”

“Thanks, but hey, does that mean Kat's going to be a freak in the sheets?” I smirk.

"Hey! I haven't said anything! Or demanded anything!” She protests, blushing deeply.

"We are stating facts, girl.” Azura says, nudging her playfully.

“That might be true...” Song giggles.

"Same goes for you.” I counter making Kataleya smile happily.

“So where is my... mate-in-law... nephew-in-law... mate nephew? Umm, whatever, where is he now?”Azura asks, peering behind me like he might just show up.

I smirk at her choice of words. “He's older than you, behave. Plus, Leo is my cousin...”

“So cousin-in-law?” Kataleya offers, making us all laugh.

I shake my head.

“He actually had a meeting to attend with someone, so I'm just over here, waiting for Dad to smashdown the door or blow up my phone. I asked Mama a short while ago if he knows and she said- andI quote; He's taking it a little hard, but he'll come around. It's going to be ok. And in translation, thatmeans shit hit the fucking fan and Mama is probably trying to calm the grumpy old bear down.”

“I haven't heard from Mama today either. Dad has a temper, but he'll calm down. I'm sure he will.”Kataleya says nervously.

"Well, either way, there's not much he can do.” I shrug.

“I'm sure he'll come around, besides from what you've told me regarding Royce, he sounds like acomplete dream boat.” Song adds.

I'm about to reply when suddenly pain erupts in my chest. My eyes blaze as a gasp leaves my lipsand I drop the cushion clutching my chest as I double over.

What's going on!

"Ah!" What is this pain?

“Sky!” Azura shouts, “What's happening!”

I can't respond, my eyes stinging with tears as I try to breathe through the pain. It's as if I've beenstabbed through the chest.

“She's in pain!” Kataleya exclaims, her voice sounding panicked. My ears are ringing loudly.

What the hell is going on? I can’t breathe...

That's when it hits me that this pain isn't mine. My heart thumps as I connect the dots.

Royce.

“Royce! Royce is hurt!” I gasp as I try to reach for my phone to call him, but my fingers brush it as itslips out of reach and I fall off the sofa, hitting my elbow on the table.

“The bond! She's feeling his pain through the bond! We need to replace him, and get to her!” Kataleya'spanic-stricken voice comes.

"Sky, where is Royce?” Azura's voice is holding urgency. “Sky, babe, you need to tell us so we canget someone to him.”

My vision is darkening, but I know I have to tell her.

He told me...

He...

"He went to Dalton Bridge in Br-Brent!” I gasp, the pain is intensifying and I'm unable to focus, butstill, I force myself to roll over, trying to reach for the phone.

Fuck it!

“Brent... Fuck Leo is in Brent! I'm calling him! We'll replace him.” Azura’s voice becomes distant. "Keeptalking to her! Kat, let Kiara know! Now!"

I need to go to him...

"Sky?! Stay with us!” Song says as the other two go silent, but I can't. I need to get to Royce. I lookup at the door, and with a growl of rage, I force myself up. I stagger to my feet, clutching my chestas I fumble with the lock on the door.

I manage to unlock it before I fall to the ground. The pain’s getting worse.

Fuck what happened to you Royce... you're so fucking strong...

Something is very wrong.

My heart twists with worry, as I manage to get the door open, and I replace myself looking into theblue eyes of one of the guards.

“Royce, take me to Royce... He's in Brent, at the Dalton Bridge. Now.” I manage to gasp, clutchingmy neck.

Please be fucking ok.

I've never felt so terrified in my life.

They exchange looks, as my hands slip from the door frame and I see them stare at my mark.“Umm Skyla, isn't it?” The blue-eyed one says as he supports me and I nod.

"We need to move!” I say exasperated, as I struggle not to give in to the pain.

"Sky!" I hear Azura calling from the phone.

Another intense wave of pain hits me and I almost collapse. I would have if he wasn't holding meup.

As long as I'm in pain, it means he’s holding on...

“Grab her phone.” The blue-eyed one says as the other one obeys. He lifts me up before hurryingfrom the room.

"Don't tell anyone else.” I say, Royce didn’t want anyone to know... did the Beta do something?Should I tell them to contact the Beta? I'm not sure how much Royce trusts them, and withoutknowing, I have to keep his secret.

I clutch my chest as the man puts me in the car.

"He isn't answering.” The other one mutters as they both get in the front and I'm grateful they pickup speed fast. I can hear them talking to Azura, but I can't focus.

...tell her Leo will..."

It's all I hear, unable to hear through the shrill whistling that splits through my head...
