Her mother wasn't in the cave where they said she was. Fuck. My men milled about looking for clues. Anything to tell us what was going on. She should have been here.
I sniffed through the cave. Blood was all I could smell and I growled. Little one smelled like a bakery to me. I could faintly smell the same scent but it was mixed with something else. Her mom had been here recently. Now that I knew the scent I could get trackers on the scent and track them down. This needs to end. I can't have her in danger ever. My job is to protect her.
A constant buzzing on my mate bond. I knew it was her. I knew she was trying to get ahold of me. I couldn't let my wall down yet. Not just yet. I needed to get my trackers out. That took only a minute.

~~Dom She was still here with me as I charged into the camp with my trackers. Warriors were coming up behind us and they would be here in a matter of seconds. The trackers and I fanned out and attacked the first few hunters that were on the outskirts. They were easily taken out by us quickly shifting in to our respective animals. A couple of hunters brought up their guns as I ripped through one and a few shots rang out in the still and quiet forest. A bullet sliced my arm and I growled. I heard her gasp and hold tighter to me beyond our walls. I grabbed the hunter that was trying to load his shotgun again and I ripped his head clean off. Holy fuck....she whispered softly. Little One...please no comments...I can't concentrate. I whispered back to her. She was silent with her reply but I knew she hadn't left.&

~~Stephanie You would think death would be quiet. No loud noises. No screaming. No sobbing. No whispers of goodbye. No feeling of a presence of a huge hulking bear. No tingles...Dom? I hope Dom is in this afterlife with me. I don't want to be alone. I have never done well alone. I fell back asleep quickly. Dreaming of Dom and I. When we met. How I stared at him in the car. When he marked me. Ugh that mark burns even in dreams. About when he first shifted and how warm Teddy was. When we got married and he carried me bridal style over the threshold and threw me on the bed. Our fight at the hotel. The broken doo

~~Dominic I only go into my human form to go in to town to drink and get some food. I haven't been back to the pack and I didn't want to go back. Everything there is us. Everything in that town reminds me of her. When I left the hospital I ran for days, eating the animals I attacked and never shifting. Even Yano was tired of being in charge. Yano was hurting just as much as I was. He needed his mate to survive. I don't even know how he has lasted this long. Usually when a shifter loses his mate he dies rather quickly. It's coming up on 3 months of not having her near me. Sometimes I swear Yano and I can feel the bond. But it's just numb everywhere. I don't even know if I could feel getting shot right now. Then that leads to where I am now. I'm in town at a bar not far from the edge of the woods. This is where I come when killing and shifting isn't good enough and I need to forget more. It's a shifter bar that borders human

~~Stephanie First thought of the morning? Coffee. Whoever brewed the first coffee beans are my absolute favorite people. I drink coffee every morning. At least 5 cups. Sometimes even one in the afternoon. The packhouse is cold this morning. It's always cold to me though. All the shifters run hot so they have a huge AC system that keeps the house at subzero temperatures. The thermostat reads 62. 62? That's not even normal. How does this AC system even keep up? Now my first needs of the morning are a hoodie and then coffee. I trudge over to the closet in an oversized tshirt from Dom to slip on a pair of jeans and steal another one of his hoodies. I don't even know why the boy owns them. Does he ever get cold? I think he keeps them around for me at this point. I dress quickly and throw on a pair of thick socks. I brush my teeth quickly and head to the smaller kitchen for some coffee. The packhouse is dead quiet since everyone is at tr

~~Dom I slowly walked back to the pack house avoiding being in a hurry today. I was scared to even leave her alone with Brandon. I didn't want her being left alone with anyone that wasn't me or the four guards that were always with her when I wasn't. It terrified me beyond what I knew that I could lose her at any moment. I wasn't lying when I told my mate that I had to work with Grayson but I needed to make a stop to see my mother, father, and brother. It took about 10 minutes of walking to get to their house. The neighborhood still looked exactly the same. It was just filled up more with shifter families. The pack had taken over miles of land like this for families to find refuge. Stephanie's old house still sat next door but a family lived there now. The kids who lived there were now in the orphanage on our pack grounds. As I walked through the front door I could smell banana bread being baked and my mothers laughter ringing

~~Stephanie I wake up the next morning to a cold bed. The night before we had been up with him taking me again and again. Jealousy sure does rile that boy up. I wonder where he went. Dom....where did you go my love? I ask him through our mindlinks. His wall is up again so he's either in a meeting or talking to Grayson at breakfast. I throw on a long sleeved shirt and a pair of high waisted jeans to be comfy. I walk downstairs and he meets me at the end of the stairs as he grabs me and holds me close to him. I can hear him grumbling with himself. "Love. Are you ok?" I ask putting my hands on his cheeks. "Fine." He muttered but he didn't look at me. He's lying to me again. His wall has been up since this morning and all week so far. When we are around each other he keeps looking at me when he doesn't think I know. I work everyday and come home around 3:30 in the afternoon. He holds me longer when I com

~~Dom I stood in my office staring out over the pack. I sigh as I realize my time for leaving is coming closer. When I told her I completely broke down. I haven't broke down or cried like that since I was first drafted. When my name was called when I was 17, I came home to my mother crying. I broke down not wanting to leave. I didn't want to be like my father and work with our government or any government. I wanted to find my mate and settle down quietly. I sigh as my thoughts drift to her. She came in my life at the oddest time. She is so much younger. 6 years younger to be exact. But she seems light years ahead of me. Meeting her when I did scared me down to my core. I didn't want her to be hurt or be hurt by me. I'm not the best at conveying my feelings and I don't talk much. But she understands me. She can just look at me and know what I'm thinking without even looking into my thoughts. She kno

~Stephanie What happened should have never happened in a million years. I understand hes mad at Reese but this is by far ridiculous. I understand he might have gotten angry or maybe a little jealous but his reaction and to tell me that I don't matter was over the top. It left me leaving so empty and so alone in this world. I'm his mate. The only one he will ever get and he made it seem like I was replaceable. But maybe I'm looking too far in to this. I glance around his room again and something catches my eye as I look up at the dresser on the side of his room. A bunch of pictures sit there that haven't been touched in a while but you can tell his mother comes in here to dust every once in a while. I look at one picture in particular. It's sitting on top of his dresser. It's him and his brother when they were in their teens. They stood in front of a tree where they smiled widely for their mother who had to of bee. Behind the camera. He was so

~~Dom When I found myself at our property line 3 days ago I could only watch. My little one was so close and I was so afraid of her being mad at me that I stayed in that spot. She looked small. She had lost a lot of weight. But she looked beautiful regardless. Her brown hair reached her ass now and her black rimmed glasses donned her face everyday now and not just when she was reading. The boys were huge. Blonde hair bounded through the fields, the flower beds, and the house. They were so loud. I heard everything in the house. I heard them laughing, their running, their screaming, their fighting, and the love they gave her. Then I would hear her. A soft voice when she needed to and then a firm scary mom voice when they were

~~Stephanie Time passes very quickly when you are a single mom. All your time and energy is put in to your kids, your job, and laundry. Laundry does not end. Especially having boys. As you can tell I'm still alone. Dom never came home. Theo and Gregory still check on me. They haven't been back lately though. Saying they were busy trying up lose ends from Dom's last mission with them. I have slowly gotten back to being me. Well as much as I could. I'm almost 21 now. No one ever found my mate. No word after the first year and a half slowly turned into Grayson wanting to do that plaque/funeral. I'm not going to lie. It helped me grieve. But it never took care of the feeling that I

~~StephanieI have been doing my Beta job for 4 fucking months. 4 months of mind numbing paperwork and people complaining. Yeah you saw that right.COMPLAINING.Complaining about everything. From the toilet paper in the pack house to the "annoying" cobblestone road in the middle of our small town.I rolled my eyes at the request of getting it removed. Freaking whiny ass people. No wonder Dom needed his poker face. I, on the other hand, have no poker face. When that lady complained about the toilet paper, I laughed.I laughed directly to her face.Grayson wasn't too happy, but at the same time he thought it was ridiculous too.

~~StephanieBecoming Beta Female was no easy feat. The first week was hellacious.Half of the male shifters hated me because I was a woman. A woman as a beta or alpha was still relatively a new thing. I mean the USA just got their first female vice president last election. Everyone is seriously behind the times.The Gamma is in charge of the training and when I try to set stuff up for the pack he completely ignores me. Grayson gets super angry but I tell him not to use his Alpha command on anyone because I want them to respect me and not his words.The boys are still in daycare everyday. I pick them up in the afternon and head home to take care of the house and the farm. I only eat at the pack house when Grayson and Marissa do.Today is a particularly busy day. I have to hold a meeting between our top warriors, our Gamma, and Grayson. Grayson is letting me take charge of this meeting so I can get a better handle on our fucking Gamma. Even worse our

~~Stephanie I stared at the two men in front of me. They had just exited the SUV after coming through my gate at the house. The two worn down men both looked at each other before turning their attention on me. "Theo? Where is he?" I asked softly. My voice getting louder with each word. "Oh sweetie." He whispered, his voice only holding sympathy in its tone. Both of them in front of me were marred with scars, a broken leg, and 2 broken arms between both of them. Huge gashes on both of their foreheads made it even worse. They were all stitched, bandaged, wrapped, and scarred. Whatever had happened had definitely not happened the way they thought it would.

But she's in good hands. I roll my eyes at his antics. As time goes hy the mate bond suffers but my little one is strong. Not her. She will be ok. It's us. Yano barks out. Why us? We are almost done and then we can go home. I question him. Yano has been restless all night which means I

~~Stephanie The next morning came too quickly. I didn't sleep at all. Bags under my eyes and the caffeine restrictions were a major pain in my ass these days. And for the highlight of today my lovely babies have chosen back pain for today's inconvenience. And it hurts like hell. All good though. I can push through and make it. Last day of school too. Thank God. I don't move around a lot today, the faculty gave me a small baby shower in the teachers lounge. Reese included. Him and I only talk at work lately. Probably because he knows he screwed up big time. I can't trust him and I have too much going on to deal with his drama. I have never been one for drama and I get later in this pregnancy my bullshit monitor is always at an all time high.

~~Stephanie "Pumpkin! Mousse!! Stop fighting over that damn ball!!!" I yelled at two of my dogs. They whined and came into the kitchen to wait on their dinner. "I Prevail" played in the background on the speakers in my kitchen as I moved around the kitchen slowly. I "sang" along with the song as I made dinner for everyone. My stomach was huge and I was growing more tired everyday. It was definitely a struggle to move around my stomach these days. Sometimes I didnt even try. Every day was a new adventure for me though. I didn't know what new pains would be going on or where my body would aching. My feet were swollen all the time and I constantly took baths to relax. I was getting closer and closer to my due date. Yes, pregnancy is

~~Dominic I stare out at the valley below us. A few hidden spots in the woods had humans running through them. Some of them were women and children. We needed to make sure we attacked the right group. So far it had been easy to get through these groups. We had a few scratches, broken bones, and the start of some scars to prove we had been victorious so far. One of my new scars on my human body actually matched Yanos on his eye and I have a rather large one on my back. I wasn't focused in that fight. It's been 3 months and I haven't spoken to Stephanie. Marcus mind links his wife every few days with an I love you. It's very quick and never long enough for a reply. But I'm too afraid to even do that.
