Charlie calling and telling me she can feel our sweetpea and she is near the Midnight pack shocked me. Could her grandfather the former Alpha Vincent have taken her? Did Rose, Nonna or Michael have anything to do with it? I can't imagine that they could or would, especially Rose, she knows the heartache and anguish we are going through, she certainly wouldn't be part of having her own daughter go through it, not after what Charlie's already been through. I jump in the car and break every speed limit to get to my girls. If she is in Midnight, Charlie and I will fight that entire pack to get her back. Michael is now the Alpha and I believe he is a good guy so unless his pack still holds loyalty to their former Alpha we shouldn't have a problem. I just hope Charlie can keep her cool while she's there, I know she is powerful, but so is her mother and grandmother and that could be a disaster. The thought of seeing Charlie and holding her in my arms is bittersweet if we don't have o
I hold Abigail next to my heart so tightly I'm amazed she can breath. Braddock's arm is tightly wrapped around my waist, keeping us close to his side as we walk towards the Midnight pack house. I sit down in the family lounge on a couch and peel Abigail off me to look at her and ensure she has no wounds. Braddock takes one of her hands as tears roll down his cheeks, Abi turns to him and clings to his chest. His muscular arms wrap around her little body, engulfing her in his warmth and scent. His head falls into her hair and I watch my rock shatter, as his broad shoulders shake and he crys. I stand and wrap my arms around him and our baby girl and cry with him. Tears today are good ones, filled with relief, joy and love, he's the first to stop as he pulls his head from her hair, "sweetpea, do you hurt anywhere?" Her little tear filled eyes look up at him and nods, she points to her heart and her belly. "Can I see the booboo," he says softly. Abi's little head shakes side to s
Waking up with my entire world surrounding me couldn't get any better, but when my little girl kisses the tip of my nose and tells me she loves me, yea it just got better. I listen to my little girl as she talks to Charlie about her scars and she says the bad man did them to Charlie. I don't think she understands what she's saying, but I'm sure I'll find out. I fix pancakes as Charlie and Abigail take a bath, the entire family is in the kitchen when Abigail runs into the kitchen, she skids to a stop and looks around, then darts straight to Ava. Ava hugs her tightly, "Abi Dabi," she squeals, "I'm so happy your back." Ava's 10 and she adores Abi, the only other girl. Abi stands at the table and waves at her boy cousins who all smile at her. Gabe, the Gamma heir, pouts, "so what I don't get a hug, munchkin," he stands and walks over to her. She smiles up at him as he picks her up and gives her a big hug, her little arms wrap around his neck and bury's her face into his neck, a g
Watching my sweet baby girl coloring with Cynthia out on the veranda looks so innocent and sweet, until I approach and look at my baby is drawing, she's drawing the root cellar, a small light brown square sits on top of dark brown, a black wolf with grey runing down the side, his mouth is open, his large canines hover above a small circle of pink with black curls." I gulp the lump in my throat down, as I run my hand threw her black curls. I sit next to her and give her my best fake smile, her little tongue is sticking out the side of her mouth as she concentrates on her drawing. I don't trust my voice not to reveal my feeling, I kiss her cheek, stand and start walking back towards the house, her little voice reaches my ears, "Daddy's going to kill him Momma, so he can't hurt me anymore." I stop and spin on my spot, I breathe through my mouth staring at her back. Cynthia looks up over Abi's head at me a questioning look on her face," Luna Charlie, is everything alright?" I blink
Charlie's idea of having a picnic was genius, our little girls fears are real to her and we can't feed into them, but we can ease her out of them. Sitting in the sunshine having a picnic in the garden for lunch was going well, until Abi's began to feel anxious, "Daddy be ready, the bad man's close," spooked both me and Charlie, I know she was doing as I was, scanning the perimeter with our eyes and ears. I watched as Charlie used her power to force her energy to feel anything other that what should be there in the perimeter. Abi climbed into my lap and watched her mother. When Charlie asked why she said he was close, Abi's response, "he told me," was shocking. I mind linked our Gamma, "Steve we need to patrol around the perimeter immediately and continueously for the next several days." Steve responded, "on it Alpha." Charlie's hands fly into the air, "ENOUGH," she screams, her power flashes out in all directions in waves, rolling over everything, my arms instrinctively engulf
Dread fills me as I wake on the morning of our annual Moon Festival, it will be the first time we all will be going down to the pond and just the thought of it for the past month as made me ill every morning. I flush the toilet after vomiting again and stand to look at myself in the mirror. I refused to remove most of my scars, I have repaired my breast nipple and removed the letters carved into my skin, but the rest lay prominently on me, a reminder of just how strong I am and how fucking much I will make that bastard pay. I undress and turn on the shower as Braddock walks in, "hmmm, I do have good timing," he smiles at me as I step inside. He enters the shower within seconds, pulling by back to his chest, his hand runs over my breast and down my stomach and cups my mound. I moan as his fingers glide through my wet folds and his nose nuzzles into my neck. He inhales as he plunges two fingers into me and his thumb rubs my clit. He pulls his fingers out and puts them in his mout
We walk into the hospital and are set up in one of the OB/GYN rooms and wait for the doctor. Dr. Jessup walks in and greets us, "Well, hello again Alpha, Luna and I see we have brought the Princess as well," she smiles at Abi as she sits on my shoulders. Dr. Jessup looks at Charlie, "so same symptoms as last time I assume and," she looks at me, "same reason we think we are going to have another heir?" I smile at her as Charlie answers, "yes on both Doctor." Dr. Jessup smiles at Charlie, "well then let's have a look shall we?" I take Abi to the window and point out things in the forest to destract her from watching what the doctor is doing to her Momma. After a few minutes Dr. Jessup speaks, "okay, now that's over and I'm sure we will want to see what is happening inside Momma's tummy," she pulls the ultrasound machine over to the exam table. I walk back over and place Abi on the table next to Charlie, I point to the screen and tell her to watch and we will see her pup soon. Ab
I should have told Braddock I felt that strange tug at my heart earlier when we first entered the festival grounds, but I thought it was just me being here again with Abi. I looked around and everything was as it should have been so I shrugged the feeling off. I should have used my power and secured the area, I would have located the threat before he got his fucking hands on my pup again. Pure fury raged through my veins as I screamed, "ABIGAIL!" I moved with Ceasar to where our child was being held, her eyes locked with Ceasar and a growl errupted from his chest. Most of our pack has shifted and stand on high alert growling and snarling at the 20 rogues, but the one in the middle, the one holding my pup, I know is my beloved grandfather, Vincent DeLuca. Ceasar continued to growl as he slowly stalked forward. The scarecrow held Abi back to his chest with one arm and a knife to her throat with the other as he stood surrounded by now rogue wolves. I was beside Gabe and whisper
As I drive to our meeting wearing a black button up shirt, black jeans and black boots, I’m thinking of all the things I should have done during these past couple of weeks. After the very non-insightful meeting with both her parents I knew I was on my own. She threw out the roses I left for her in her Jeep, so flowers are out. She's more tom boy then feminine, she has a killer body, but dresses in jeans and camo. I painted a picture of what Boris showed me of Storm, her wolf and for some reason wildflowers just seemed needed wrapped around her beautiful wolf. By the time I had finished it, I had added Boris and a waterfall, it took me a few days to finally send a picture of it to her and it was a coincidence that it was last night and the full moon. When she responded with the word “Beautiful.”I couldn’t help but to respond back with the exact words that left my lips when I saw her response, SO ARE YOU. I paced my room all night, wondering if she was okay, if someone would he
I walked into my office and slump into my chair, training this morning went well, I worked out with the warriors and then spared with many. The amount of energy I have today is immense and I know why, the full moon is tonight, and I’ll be in pain for hours. I pull up my e-mails and find several from Alpha Sebastian and Alpha Terrance about the grand opening Friday night. I pull them up and find different flyers that are going to be distributed about the club. Some are directed at the supernatural community and others are for the human’s. It’s a big chance to have the mix, but with the amount of power we all have and each of us having a night to be in attendance we should be fine. I find an e-mail from Alpha Christov I click on it and just stare.It's a picture of an open field of wildflowers, a waterfall in the background and two wolves nose to nose and the space between them is in a heart shape. I can’t help but smile as I look at the sheer beauty of the picture. I stare at
I sit in my office watching the clock tick away, her father will be here any minute and though I’ve thought about everything I will say and every question I will ask, I’m nervous, like a teenage boy wanting permission to date his daughter. I just hope Sasha stays away today, I broke it off with her 2 weeks ago, had her move out of the pack house and into a small cottage. She was livid, called me everything under the moon and I have no idea what some of them even meant. She keeps coming back though, her outfits skimpier and skimpier, barely covering any of her private bits, soon she’ll be walking around naked, and for shifters that’s not a huge deal after shifting, but we don’t normally walk around that way.The guards at the gate let me know that Former Alpha Braddock of the Crescent Moon pack is entering our territory, and I walk to the doors of the pack house. I stand there and watch as a brand new SUV rolls up and he steps out of the driver’s side and rounds the car and opens t
I return to the pack house and sit in my office going over the financial reports from our diversified business as a hard knock hits my door. I lean back in my chair and call out, “come on in Dad.”He opens the door and smiles widely at me, “seems someone’s mate is calling for help, couldn’t be a better time.” He sits in the chair opposite me and chuckles, “yours.”My eyes widen at him, “Alpha Christov called you for help with what?”His brow arches, “probably you,” he waves his hand dismissively, “doesn’t matter as long as I get to sit down and talk to him, assess him,” he shrugs, “also gets me inside his pack, perhaps I can see if something is amiss.”I lean back in my chair and look at him, “I don’t think he’s the one dad, he may be a lot of things, arrogant, rude, obnoxious and self-centered, but he doesn’t strike me as the type to deal with pedophilia in any manner.” I stand and walk over to the window, “from all accounts he's not flashy, this business is swimming in money," th
My mother was surprised when I told her I needed her, I'm 30 and haven't needed her for a while now, but this bond with Abigail has me baffled. The first thing she told me was to get rid of Sasha and that I should be ashamed that I hadn't already and was surprised that as an Alpha my mate hadn't rejected me because of it. My mother is strong, she raised us right, but we sometimes forget how to be the men she raised and made me very aware of that particular fact, "you we're raised better than to act like you have no sense."I’ve missed seeing Abigail every time I have arrived at the construction site, either she has just left or had been there hours prior. Today when I pulled up, her purple jeep is parked in the lot, I grabbed the dozen roses I bought and put them on the driver’s seat of her jeep. I smile as I turn to head for the office, I take two strides and see her coming down the stairs with her hard hat under her arm. She’s breathtakingly beautiful and a genuine smile curls
I’ve managed to avoid Christov for 3 weeks, I go to the job site daily, but at different times, so that the workers have no idea when I will arrive and neither do any of the other Alpha’s.Today I’m going with Beta Josh, I love my cousin, but he can be a royal pain in the ass when it comes to me, he’s extremely protective, which is his job but because he’s family he can be over the top with it. I step out of the car and head for the small trailer they call an office, I knock and enter only to find Alpha Sebastian there with the supervisor. I smile at the two, “good afternoon, how are things going today, Ralph?”Ralph is human as most of the workers on this job site, since our business is in the human’s city it just seemed right to use them, I guess. Ralph smiles at me, “Miss Abigail, everything is running as you expected,” he stands and offers me his seat, which I decline with a head shake. He continues, “the aquarium is being installed right now, would you like to take a look.”
I sit in my car outside the pack house, my knuckles white as I grip the steering wheel, I should go to her pack, talk to her, see what is going on in that beautiful head of hers. A knock on my window brings me back to reality, I look out and see Beta Charles. I sigh heavily and open the door and get out, “what’s going on?”He chuckles, “just wondering how long you planned on sitting in your car Alpha Christov, you’ve been here 30 minutes already?”I furrow my brows at him and slam the door, brush by him and head for my office, he follows in silence. I drop in my chair and glare at him, “what?”He shuts the door and sits opposite me, “Alpha Christov, what’s going on with you, ever since yesterday, you’ve been acting,” he rubs the back of his neck, “different.”I threw my head back and shut my eyes, her face appears every time I do and now it’s irritating me, she should want me as bad as I want her, and the feeling is only growing stronger the further apart we are. I tilt my head do
Momma wraps her arms around me as I get out of the car and walks with me to the garden, we sit on the blanket she has already splayed out on the ground and a basket sits on top of it. We sit and she looks at me, “what happened Abigail?”I blink back the tears that are stinging the backs of my eyes, “it snapped into place right before I was getting into the car.”She bites her bottom lip, her eyes soften and she speaks calmly, “I know you didn’t want it to happen before we knew for sure if he is the one that it behind the pup abduction ring, but now it has happened what do you want to do?”The shock of her questions, dries any tears that were threatening me a second ago, “what do you mean, he is one of the people we think could be the head of all this, you think that I would jeapordize myself to be with him and then find out he is the one.”She nods, “okay and if he’s not the one and totally innocent of this entire disgusting mess, then what, you said he has a chosen Luna already.”I
I get in the car and slam my fist into the dashboard, “AepbMo,” (shit) I look in the backseat and frown, I had it planned out, I reach over the seat and grab the bouquet of red long stem roses, open the window and throw them out it. I shake my head; I don’t know what I was thinking. Boris laughs, “you were thinking she would be alone, and you would be able to get some alone time,” he snickers. I shake my head, she’s too fucking beautiful, I throw my head back and close my eyes. The entire morning replays in my mind, from the time she jumped out of that SUV, my heart was racing. I watched her every stride, her long legs, in those tight jeans, her jacket hugging her hips and her breasts bouncing with every step, a few of her long black curls bouncing around her face. I shake my head, those pink lips curling into a beautiful smile as she spoke. Then fucking Sebastian has to flirt with her and fuck me if she didn’t flirt right back, like a dagger to my chest, I couldn’t help but gro
