78: Soon, Baby, Soon

TARA

Considering the duration of my pregnancy and Nadia’s eight and a half years, I hadn’t seen my mother in close to a decade, and I hadn’t heard one word about her or anything relating to Attica pack except Adian.

My father too, but from the memory of a loaded shotgun pointed at my head and the fury I’d seen in his eyes, I doubted if my father still wanted anything to do with me even after all this time.

Back then, one of the reasons why I’d contemplated not keeping my baby—an unthinkable thing to me now— was the fact that my mom was constantly sick, and my father was barely making enough to take care of us and her medical needs, talk more of a kid.

It started with muscle problems, before morphing into high blood pressure, and eventually, symptoms of something more dreadful. I had no idea how bad things had gotten… if Mom was better, or if she was…

I shook the thought off my mind. I believed in the power of the mind, so I didn’t want to conjure up any bad news for my family.

  • Alpha Aidan's Rejection   79: Getting Settled

    AIDANShouldn’t I have been ecstatic that Nadia and Tara were finally coming to Attica pack, where I most wanted them to be, even if this journey was only temporary?No arguments…I was. I was happy for this development, but dread coiled itself around my neck more than joy, making me question if this was the right time, or if once again, Jace was right, and I had dug a grave for myself that I couldn’t get out of.I hadn’t entirely been honest with myself, and neither have I been one hundred percent honest with Tara. My briefcase stared at me, and so did all the evidence from my attempt to change the hands of fate.Documents for a new diner in Attica pack with keys I had intended to give Tara, documents with Nadia’s name, admitting her as a pupil in Attica’s most prestigious institution, a new home for them, and subsequently, for us, and even more incriminating information that I couldn’t dare name.These should have been a thing of joy and pride to share with Tara, but I’d gone and don

    TARAI didn’t expect to be hit with so many memories as soon as Aidan drove us past Attica Pack’s borders, those from the events surrounding my departure, and more from way before then, but I was.Attica pack had changed—in a really good way—, but with the anxiousness and the bad memories this place brought up, I would have turned around and headed back where I came from if Aidan wasn’t with me.He must have noticed my dampened mood, seeing as he rushed in and out of the large penthouse after showing Nadia to her room. Not even the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of Aidan’s condo could get me to relax.As soon as he got back, Aidan took my hands in his, automatically calming me down, and he led me to a sofa.

  • Alpha Aidan's Rejection   01: Dead To Me

    TARA“Aidan, love, I-I wasn’t sure… so I went to see the pack doctor. I’m two weeks gone,” I said my voice barely above a whisper. “I’m pregnant.”My heartbeat thrashed in my ears as I finally found the courage to tell him. I was beyond terrified, but I was sure that Aidan and I would go through this together. After all, he was the Alpha of Pack Attica.Aidan looked up from his phone, and the color completely drained from his face. “No, you’re not.”My mouth fell open. What?“I-I am,” I said, fumbling through my pocket for the picture the doctor gave me of the baby. “I’m preg-”“What the heck, Tara! Stop saying that. You’re not pregnant for gods sake! Are you that pathetic to lie with something as dire as this?”I flinched at his tone. Aidan was never mean to me. He never raised his voice or used foul language at me.“Why would I lie? I swear by the moon, it’s yours,” I pleaded, tears filling the back of my eyelids, blurring my vision.With fists clenched and veins bulging from every

    TARABy the time I got to our house at the edge of the pack, my parents were in the living room of the small apartment, so I ran up to my room, so they wouldn’t question me or see my puffed face.Kayla arrived barely ten minutes after I did, and I was temporarily relieved.“I’m pregnant,” I confessed, picking my cuticles as I paced the length of my small room with her sitting on the bed.Kayla blinked in rapid succession. “Wh-what?”“I am…”Kayla’s words could pass for a scream. “You’re. Fucking. Pregnant!?” My heart skipped, and my eyebrows jumped as I flew to the bed to seal my hand over her mouth.“Shhh! My parents could hear.”Even if my parents were omegas too, they might still hear without the heightened senses.“I’m sorry,” she said, tears brimming in her eyes as she understood the gravity of the situation.“It’s Aidan’s, and he doesn’t believe me. I’m finished.” Fresh tears leaked from my eyes, and Kayla wrapped her hands around me.“What can I do?” She asked after I pulled a

    TARARiding up to Aidan’s room floor, questions flooded my mind, along with an uneasy feeling that clawed at my chest, but I pushed it all to the side. My skin was prickly too, my head was pounding with a terrible headache, and I said a quick prayer. “Please, moon goddess, let Aidan be okay,” I prayed.The hallway was quiet in the dead of the night, and when I made a fist with my trembling and sweaty palm to knock, the door creaked open on its accord.Dread curled in my stomach, bringing a sour taste to my already dry mouth, but I stepped inside, regardless.Everywhere was dark, save for the dim lamp on the tabletop. From that, I made out Aidan’s form, sound asleep under the rumpled covers, but it did nothing to dull the sour feeling in my chest.As if noticing my presence in his sleep, Aidan’s eyes peeled open.“Tara?”“It’s me, baby.” I moved on instinct.“Goddess, so help me if you take a step closer, peasant.” Aidan sat up, and from his icy tone, the sleep was gone from his eyes.

    TARAMy eyes fluttered open, and a blinding light pierced through, causing me to shut them back with a wince. I tried to remember where I was.“Try not to move,” a soft voice said from beside me. I whipped my head to the side and a warm-looking woman in her forties was smiling down at me. A doctor. Where was I? What was…Aidan. Kayla. My wolf. My baby.I gasped as images from my encounter with Kayla rushed to the front of my mind, and I scrambled back in fear.As if I was on cue, pain shot through my entire body, making me cry out.“Calm down, miss. You’re still in critical condition.”“My baby,” I gasped, tears rapidly brimming in my eyes.“Is a fighter. Your baby survived. And so did you.”The tears broke free, and I fell back on the bed, gratitude swelling my chest as I cried and thanked the Moon Goddess. I thought I lost my child. How did I think for a second that I could have gone through with terminating it?I looked around the room, and I didn’t expect to see my family or an

  • Alpha Aidan's Rejection   05: Reunion

    TARA Eight Years Later… Even before she voiced her question, I already connected the dots from the pride swirling in her eyes. “So how do you feel?” Jenna asked, carrying way too many labeled boxes on one hand, and easily maneuvering me in the middle of my new diner. “Your dreams are finally coming together. Aren’t you proud?” I rose to full height, abandoning the blue roses I was putting together for the front door, and stared at Jenna for a minute. It only took a second for my answer to take form. Proud would be too much of an understatement. I was freaking ecstatic. I was beyond grateful for the last eight years plus of my life because if anyone had told me this would be my standing in Vermont pack, the place I found myself after everything, I would have hissed in their faces. “Of course I’m proud, Jenna,” I said to my close friend and companion. After Nadia’s birth, Jenna was one of the few people who took me as their responsibility. I was suspicious of her at first,

    AIDANComing to Vermont Pack against my will, I had expected bloodshed to follow. This pack was an enemy of mine. Cohabiting was never an option, but I’d been receiving threatening notes for the past week, and this pack held the key to uncovering what it was all about, so I was here.I couldn’t wait to find out and maim whoever was toying with me, and all that seemed appealing until I set my eyes on her. On them.At first, I thought the resemblance to the little girl was nothing more than a coincidence, but then she told me her name, and she wouldn’t stop talking about her mother who sounded like the woman who still held the key to my heart after all these years.Pieces started forming in my head, but I pushed them to the side because it was impossible that after all this time, Tara was still alive and here. Those were my thoughts, but I also couldn’t ignore the familiarity I felt with this place, and the intense need to protect the little child. Call it intuition, but it felt like

    AIDANAs I couldn’t get Tara to change her mind about leaving the house I bought for them, I settled on the next best thing to living in the same house with them, which was seeing them at every chance that I could get.I planned to spend as much time as I could catching up on all the things I’d missed with Tara and Nadia, and nothing beat the excited look on Tara’s face when I showed up to her diner the next day, or the squeal that erupted from Nadia’s throat when she saw me.We were making some real progress that I was more than happy with.“Aidan,” Tara called as soon as Nadia let go of me, disappearing to the back of the diner to go feast on the snacks I picked up for her on my way over. “You’ll spoil her if you keep up with that.”I chuckled as I took in Tara’s gorgeous face. Her small pouty lips were tweaking, fighting a smile, and her eyes pulled me in. A memory of how dark those siren eyes went when she fitted under me that night flashed in my mind, and I swallowed thickly.A f

    TARAWe stood in a spot I was familiar with around the corner but in front of a building I didn’t recognize because I was pretty certain that the massive off-white structure with red roof and lights blaring from every angle of it wasn’t here the last time I passed through here.It was a new building. And from what it looked like, the building was fast gaining some attraction from the pack as young shifters hobbled themselves together in groups in a handful of places.From the corner of my eye, I could spot an outdoor tennis and basketball court to the side of the building, and a volleyball and football field to the other side. I instantly smiled at what Aidan wanted to show me, but I was still confused, so I asked. “What am I looking at?”Aidan took a deep breath behind me as he looked ahead at the building, and he responded. “The pack’s retreat complex.”I could hear the excitement in Aidan’s voice, and itched to know what it was about.“Retreat complex. What’s that?”Aidan came to

  • Alpha Aidan's Rejection   75: Time For A Change

    TARAWe had done a lot within only the first few hours of our date, leading me to suspect that Aidan had been planning this for more time than I thought. I was having more fun than I had in months…and an entirely different experience than I’d had in years, so I wasn’t complaining at all.First, it was an amazing dinner, just as Aidan had said, and then we started to walk around town. We found ourselves at a movie house where we spent the whole time gossiping, laughing, and pissing off the rest of the spectators before we finally got the subtle cue from everyone to fuck off.We moved on to a pottery workshop where Aidan successfully charmed the female potter to let us shape some clay. It was messy, but with the constant laughing, and getting to see how handsome Aidan looked when he focused like that, it was perfect.Aidan had long finished his work which resembled the cup he claimed it was, while I was still struggling to make my vase look nothing like a deformed shark as Aidan watched

  • Alpha Aidan's Rejection   74: Mr. Good Di*k

    TARAI could only avoid Jenna’s persistent questioning for so long with the excuse that I was tired after last night, to which she mocked the hell out of me, but it was better than admitting that I slept with the man I’d been avoiding for so many years and that I feared it was something more.The next day at the diner, it caught up with me, and I could not evade Jenna’s curiosity anymore.Tara was on her makeshift playground behind the diner, the one that Aidan had come in with “reinforcements” to make safer for her to play in, so I kind of ran out of excuses to give Jenna.“You’re seriously going to make me beg and grovel at your feet for the scraps, Tara? Is this what we have become? I thought we were more than this,” Jenna spoke, trying to get me to talk through her attempt at blackmail…or in this case, friendmail.“You don’t even like him, Jen,” I defended. “Why do you want to hear what happened?”Jenna feigned offense. “I’m only wary of him and watching his moves so he doesn’t ha

    TARAMy eyes blinked open, and I momentarily forgot where I was. Looking around me to accustom myself to the darkness of the room, I remembered where I was, and when the steady inhale and exhale of a second person sounded next to me on the bed, memories of what happened between us hit me like a train.“Shit,” I cursed, looking around me for something to tell me what time it was. It was still dark, so it wasn’t dawn yet.I didn’t plan to sleep over at Aidan’s house. Hell, I didn’t plan to sleep with him at all!Sighing, and making sure that Aidan was still asleep, I tossed the covers off me. ‘Covers I did not recall throwing on in the first place.’ That must have been Aidan.Red slowly heated my cheeks in a blush.Speaking of, I let my gaze wander over and settle over Aidan on the bed, finding it so easy to make out his sleeping features in the dark. He was on his back, and his bare, sparsely inked chest rose and fell steadily, and before I knew it, I was lost studying every single de

    TARAAidan didn’t spend as much time pleasuring me with his tongue and fingers as it should have taken to tire me out, but by the time I had come down from the high of my most intense orgasm in a very long time, I was spent.Staring longingly at Aidan with a dreamy smile on my face, I hummed in approval when he rose from his knees to tower over me on the bed. When my eyes fell on his impressively beautiful and erect cock, soaked and dripping with pre-come, a new energy and hunger instantly filled me, and I propped myself up on my elbows, ready to take him.Aidan’s eyes were dark with need, his nostrils flared slightly in ragged breaths, and his plump and parted lips were still smeared with my release. He graced me with a small smirk as he closed the distance between us and grabbed me by my waist, his fingers branding me deliciously.“I see that look in your eyes, Tara,” Aidan started, drawing small circles on my skin and turning what was left of my brain into mud.
