Chapter 26 Sam’s POV Where the hell is Logan? He leaves me for five minutes, and Blake and Blair are all over me. They were desperately trying to get me to listen to them. What the hell is their problem? We are done. We are through. There is no love or affection for any of them. I’m numb to their advances. After the outburst about Lily’s feelings towards Blake, they left me alone, at least for now. I decided to look for Logan, and I was unprepared for what I saw. A heartbreak all over again. Can it be true? Can it? He loves me, right? At least that was what I thought. Abruptly he turned around and locked eyes with me. He let the girl he was making out with down from the wall he held her at. She arranged her slutty pink dress and stood by him, grinning. She looked like she had just sealed a deal, and Logan was the price. “It’s not what it looks like, Foxy.” Logan tried to say to me. I couldn’t even respond. I was so shocked that he could do this to me. Did
Chapter 27 Sam’s POV I ran and ran and only stopped when I needed to drink or hunt. I don’t even know what day it is. The betrayal was so painful that I don’t know if I will ever be okay again. And to make it all worse, Blake and Blair were there to witness it all after I said how much in love I was with Logan. When you are alone, you get to know yourself better. I have spent so much time in pain, sorrow, or worrying about my brother, ex-lovers, or Logan that I never considered what I wanted. I may still be married to Logan, but he will never find me again. The journey to my safe place forced me to deal with my inner emotions and troubled past. It was true. I only could rely on myself. I knew my brother only wanted what was best for me, but how come everyone seemed to think they could decide for me. From now on, only I will determine what is best for me. On the road, I passed dense forests, exciting towns, and impressive mountains. It makes me take the time t
Chapter 28 Ace’s POV I hear a faint knock on the door, thinking it would probably be Kate since she said she would visit me someday while Beth was out. But the view in front of me when I opened the door, I thought I had died and come to heaven. There in all her glory was Foxy. The girl I have been crushing on for years. I knew from the last gossip that Logan had somehow fucked up and that Foxy had left him. But I could never believe that she would come to my place seeking shelter. I felt like my heart would explode with contentment and pride. She chooses to go here to ask me for help. She looked stunning. Her wet hair was covering her breasts, but except for that, she was completely bare. A fucking goddess to humankind. And then Foxy asked me f she could stay here. With me. With us. I knew Logan was looking for her, but the gossip said he cheated on her, making me see red. What low scums cheats on his girl? Or his wife!! It made me feel pissed and protective
Chapter 29 Logans POV The heartache of losing Foxy was eating me alive. I lost her. I fucking lost her because of some stupid mistake. Shit, I knew she had been screwed over before, and she didn’t need another heartbreak in this life. But now, I was one of them. One of the losers that had betrayed her. I missed her. I missed her so fucking much that I couldn’t sleep, eat or live. She had told me she never wanted to see me again, and I knew she meant it. I should give up; I would probably never find her on my own. What the hell could I do to make her be with me again? I had fucked up, the best thing in my fucking life. It’s been almost two months since she left, and I had teamed up with the other fuckers, Blake and Alpha Blair, to find her and her brother. I knew she was an expert in hiding her scent, and I knew that if she didn’t want to be found, I wouldn’t find her. I searched all over the fucking country for her. I made sure all rouges were to kee
Chapter 30 Alpha Blair’s POV Every fucking night it’s the same. I wake up in the middle of the night. Nightmares. Nightmares about what I lost. The dream is always the same. It’s about the evening games and the fight. The fight almost killed my mate, my Sam. I need to find her. I need to find my mate. She is still everything I think about, day and night. It’s been more than four years since I lost her and one year since I last saw her. That awful day when I didn’t stand up for her. I regret it so bad and will for the rest of this shitty life. I should just have saved her. I claimed her no matter what my father thought or my plans to kill him. She was mine, and she still is mine. But fate and wrong choices have made it almost impossible to be with her. Logan saved her, and no matter how much I wish it were I who saved her, it wasn’t. It was the King of the Rouge that saved her almost three years ago. For months, for years, I waited for him to fuck up a
Chapter 31 Alpha Blair “Are you kidding me?” “What..?” “It’s that your plan? It seems kind of lame. You don’t know the girl, she may be your mate, but as far as I remember, she doesn’t really like you.” “Well, that was before Drake. I’m a new, changed man. I’m nothing like my father, and I need to prove that to her. I need to make her want me.” “And you plan to make her jealous? Sounds kind of stupid to me, Alpha.” “ When I saw her at the restaurant, she looked more human than a werewolf; it’s almost like her wolves are gone. She didn’t even sense me there. Something is wrong, and I need to fix it.” “I think it sounds like she doesn’t want anything to do with the werewolf community anymore and is trying to be as human as possible. Maybe this time, you should give up. She has been running from you for almost five years.” “I’m a persistent man. I can wait a lifetime to be with her. Soon she will realize that she belongs with me and not that stup
Chapter 32 Sam’s POV For the first time in years, I felt at ease with everything. I had a job, I had friends, and I also had a wonderful boyfriend. Dating in the human realm was different than in the werewolf community. The men were less possessive and much more understanding of their feelings as such. Still, the sex was incredible. Ace was a giver in all aspects, and it was enough for her. She would sometimes think about the family and friends she had left behind. Every so often, her thoughts would be filled with the memory of past lovers. People who had betrayed and hurt her deeply. But that was in the past. She missed her brother Jake deeply, but he had made his choice when he decided to gang up on her with her exes. Shit, what a douche he was. He wanted to help her, but just like the other males, he had his ideas and reasons for what he thought was the best for her. Being in the human realm made everything seem much more manageable. Every morning was pret
Chapter 33 Alpha Blair’s POV “That went well.” “You think?” Micki asks and looks at me, not convinced “Yeah, she bought it,” I answer her and sweep a glance over her. Micki is a lovely girl for sure, but I have this horrible feeling that she is starting to like me. Yesterday I heard her talking to her mum on the phone that she was happy and soon had some big news to share with them. What the hell, lady? This relationship is just for show. And she was very clingy when we met Sam. I mean, I’m all for “fake it until you make it,” but even after Sam left, she stroked my back and talked about our future wedding. It will never get that far. Get a grip, Micki. I need to talk to her about that, but at the same time, I need her to pretend actually to make this work. “So… I was thinking,” Micki tells me and stands in front of me. Her hands are at her hips, and she is smiling at me. She continues: “Maybe we should try some stuff to make sure our connecti
Chapter 39/ Epilogue Five years later Foxy’s POV It’s like my past is a dream. A dream of things that seem so distant from the life I’m living now. I can’t imagine living without Blair and our twin sons, Blade and Austin, and it looks like I finally found my happy ending. I love my little family, and Blair and I are happily mated. It was a struggle the first couple of months when we returned to the pack. My new pack. I was accepted, of course, but Logan and Blake had some real issues with letting me go. I heard the story about the threat to Blake and how he was forced pretty much to mate with Caroline. I also listened to the story of the setup for Logan with his mate that he did not want. And I forgave Ace at the end. I mean, he did take care of me all this time, but in the future, I did choose my mate, Alpha Blair. The guys even attended our ceremony even though every single one of them tried to make me leave with them. In the end, I knew they were happy for me, and when we annou
Chapter 38 Foxy’s POV “Lily,” I Whisper. “Lily, Are you there?” The silence is devastating. “Lucy, are you with me, girl?”. Nothing, just silence in return. I glance around in the restaurant, and there is a huge fucking mess. People hide behind tables, screaming and shouting for someone to call the police. There is nothing I can do now. I made my choice, and I need to stick to it. I crawl towards Alpha Blair, but his eyes are closed, and I can hardly breathe. Am I too late? Did I not react fast enough? My heart is breaking. “please, please, be okay.” My tears are falling, and I’m trying to undress his shirt so I can examine the damage. Just two inches above his heart is the silver bullet. I can still see it. I quickly dig my fingers into the bloody wound and remove the bullet. Still nothing from Blair. He is silent and barely breathing. I need to help him. I need to be strong. I look over my shoulder, and there are bodies everywhere. The rage of Lily, protecting what is hers. Tear
Alpha Blairs POV “ When is the wedding?” Ace asks suddenly. I look up to see Sam watching both Micki and me. Her eyes linger on my face, and I swear I can see some emotion in her, even though she tries to hide it. God, she is beautiful. A warrior princess, goodness, a walking bombshell. Sam is mine, and it kills me to try to pretend something is going on with her friend Micki. “We haven’t set a date yet,” I answer Ace, but my eyes are on Sam. “Actually…” Micki chirps, “ we are getting married in a few weeks.” What. The. Hell. Micki. The girl is crazy for interfering in my plans. “Actually…” I say, looking at Micki with annoyance, “nothing is decided yet.” Yet. Never. “Uh, “ Micki tries to save face, but I don’t care anymore. To hell with these lies. Sam still feels something for me, and I can’t be bothered lying anymore. “We are not getting married,” I blurt out. Micki gasps. Sam looks surprised, but I swear I see some other emotions pass in her lingering gaze. Maybe relief.
Chapter 36 Foxy’s POV I’m no longer Sam. I feel it so clearly as we walk to the table where Alpha Blair and my old friend Micki are waiting. Sam would never betray Micki by hooking up with her fiancé behind her back. Shit. What was I thinking? I didn’t know that was for sure. And, of course, the Alpha didn’t resist me either. If not, he welcomed my advances. I’m Foxy, and that will never change. I won’t dwell on the past anymore. I will continue my journey to my independence, but I need to be wise regarding what the Alpha can do for me. I need my wolves. It doesn’t matter how great Ace is; he can’t make me completely whole. I need more. I give Micki a hugh, but I feel like a traitor. She looks happy to see me again, but something still lingers in her gaze when she watches me. Can it be jealousy? She knows about my past with Blair, and perhaps that’s it. She knows how strong the mate bond can be, which may be the ultimate test of their relationship. “So, how did you two meet?” I ask
Chapter 35 Sam’s POV “Shit,” I curse out loud. That was probably the stupidest idea ever. Why the hell did I go to Blair’s room? I already know the answer, though. It’s the mate bond. As soon as I met him in the park, I could feel Lucy stir inside me. The beautiful wolf that I had missed dearly. They have been in hibernation pretty much since I enter the human realm due to heartbreak but also because I’m a lone wolf. Wolves urge energy and strength from the pack, and since I know I have no one, I guess it’s true. The wolf inside you will slowly die. And being with Alpha Blair made me understand something. I need him even though I don’t fucking want to. I don’t want to lose my lovely wolves. But at the same time, I want to be with Ace. Ace. Shit. Fucking hell. I cheated on him with the man I swore I would hate for the rest of my life. But the funny thing is that time does put things in perspective. I know that I load what the men in my life have done to me. Cheating, deceiving
Chapter 34 Ace’s POV One year. One year of peace and endless love. That was it. Shit. I knew the deal with werewolves and their mates, and it’s not as simple as one can think. I also know how hard Scar has tried to move on. She has changed her appearance and her name and has moved to the human realm to have a life with me. I know she is serious about us, I know that, but I can be almost fucking sure that the Alpha has something up his sleeve. I shouldn’t have just ended the call, but jealousy hit me hard and heavy. I need to stop this nonsense. I need to claim Scar as my woman. She is mine. But I also know that love can be challenging. The mate thing is a big fucking problem, and all I can hope for is that the Alpha is severe in love with Scar's friend. I quickly get freshen up. I text Scar that I Love her and’m sorry for hanging up. She doesn’t respond and probably because she is busy working. I put on some nice clothes, dark ripped jeans, a plain t-shirt, and some cologne th
