~~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
~~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.
~~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
~~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.
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 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.
~~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
~~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.
