~~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 "Don't Dominic." She whispered softly. No baby no... don't leave...please. She didnt answer me. Her wall was up. It was never up. My body froze. Anything but her. Take anything in my life but her. I can't have her be disappointed in me. She's all I have. If I lose her I won't be able to take it. Not again. "Little One." I whisper out. My voice cracking. "No. I'm not.....Not right now." She whispered. And just like that she turned around and walked out. I should be chasing her and never letting go but my body is glued to the ground. I still have the glass in my hand. I growled and let out a growl that shook our pictures on the wall. I threw the crystal glass full of whiskey against the wall. It shattered in a million pieces. That's when Yano took over. He didn't even give me a chanc
~~Stephanie Days are going by quicker. Work is busy and the weather is slowly starting to get colder. I sat in the teacher's lounge drinking my hot tea. The tea bag drifting inside my favorite mug that Elizabeth made me a couple of years ago. I sare outside the window at some of the kids sitting outside with no jackets on and laugh at how if it were me I would be bundled in a hoodie, winter jacket, beanie, gloves and a warm coffee in hand to brave any sort of cold weather. "Hey." A deep voice came up behind me. I glanced over my shoulder and forced a smile at the man behind me. "Hey." I said turning back to look out the window. "Free period?" He asked. "Yeah. I'm ready to go home today." I answered laughing. "Me too. Hey did you want to grab a coffee on the way back to the packhouse?" He asked sitting down next to me. "Yeah sure. M
~Dom I awoke the next morning though to a cold bed. Well, her side was cold. I reached over thinking she sprawled out on the other side and I was only met with more empty bed space. I groaned and I wiped the sleepiness from my face as I looked around the room. The dark curtains kept most of the sunlight out and our room was painted dark. Just how I liked it, like a den to make love to my mate and never leave. Our clothes were everywhere. Her underwear was hanging from the fan as the fan slowly spun. My favorite pair, dark, lacy, and barely there. They is probably rip in them, I know I got excited when I saw them and I couldn't wait to take them off of her. My shirt was on the TV screen across the room and my pants were over the headboard. I laughed and looked around the room again trying to locate some boxers and my mate. Where was my little one.I mindlinked loudly.
🔥Hey you. Yes you. Steamy chapter ahead. Just thought I would warm you.🔥 ~~Stephanie My mind was going absolutely blank. All I could concentrate on was the fact that he was leaving today. Dom was leaving in 8 hours. 8 hours then I literally have no idea when I will be able to see him again. To be able to jump in his arms, run my hand through his hair, or to snuggle on his chest. I laid on our bed while he was in the closet grumbling about bringing too much stuff. He was allowed one duffel bag and even then he would only be in uniform or shifting. I had never even seen him in his uniform.
~~Dom Theo, Gregory, and Marcus. My 3 best friends other then Grayson. And now my little one. She walked outside with me. Still behind me. No one could see her because she was so short. "Not short. Just average for a human. How many times must I ask this in our relationship?" She asked and punched my side. I chuckled and grabbed her hand and brought her to my side. I tucked her in perfectly so her hand landed on my abs and her other arm wrapped around my waist. She fit perfectly. The black SUV was put in park as 3 large bear shifters came out of the vehicle. I was expecting my little one to tense up and move behind me. But she held her head high and kept her eyes on me. I swelle
A/NFrom now on the entire chapter will be in one POV but it will still alternate between Stephanie and Dominic.~~StephanieI stood on our driveway for about 45 minutes. I kept staring down the road waiting to see him again. Maybe he will turn around and yell that it was a mistake. That he doesn't have to leave me for months on end.Maybe this is all some sick joke that I haven't gotten yet and they are laughing somewhere. I would rather have that then have any of this be real.I already feel sick enough. My nerves are getting to me. I have never been alone like this. Even after I was half-orphaned, I guess you can call it, I still wasn't alone. I still had my frie
~Stephanie I stretch my arms above my head as I get comfy in the seat at my desk. It overlooks the back of the porch and the rest of our property and I can see our barn on the right side of the large bay window. I grab my pen and sit down and stare at the paper. I have no clue what to write but I need to write to him. I feel like this is the only way he is getting any word from me. Dearest Dom, Hello Teddy Bear. This completely fucking sucks. Not going to lie. I miss you more everyday. If it wasn't for your present you left behind I would be even more lonely then I am. By the way the spare bedroom closest to us has been converted into their room. I chose fo
~~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.
A/N Some violent ~~Dom It was dawn and we were all getting ready to shift. I stood there staring out in the distance. Something's wrong. Yano growls in the back if my mind. I know. 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.
