Tyler’s POV“Dad, why did your parents leave you with Memaw and Pawpaw? Where did they go?” I guess the best way to get our answers is to just get the hard questions out of the way. Dad sat back and took another swing from his apple pie moonshine, “Well, when I was born My parents didn’t have it easy. Dad was kicked out of the house when he 15 and mom was living at home with my pawpaw and granny. They lived with them for a short while. The town they lived in hated them so they decided to run away together and come over from Alabama to here. They got pregnant with me and they had no help. They decided instead of living in a shack that dad built that they would move in with your memaw and Pawpaw.” I heard Emery sit up and scoot his chair closer to the table, “Wait, why did the town hate them?” Daddy let out a sigh and scratched the stubble on his face, “My dad was accused of witchcraft by a Baptist church down in his hometown of Gadsden. Story has it that my father had gotten
Alpha Dalton’s POVWe were pulling into my long driveway after driving in thick silence the whole way here. Well, except for Emery. He couldn’t stop talking about food which was kind of helpful to get my mind off the tense energy in the truck. I knew something was different about Tyler, but I didn’t know what. Witches are difficult to detect because by nature they set off a sort of camouflage to conceal themselves and their powers. One thing I had learned about witches is that they are highly sought after. The more powerful the witch the more people wanted to enslave them. Humans that knew witches existed only wanted them for selfish reasons. My girl was a descendant to one of the most powerful witches to walk the earth and that terrified me beyond belief. Once it’s known that the most powerful werewolf in the world is mated to the descendant of Genevieve LaFlamme all kinds of creatures will come to try to tear down my kingdom that I have built. They will not just want her. If we have
Alpha Dalton’s POVAfter dinner we all went and sat on the porch and guzzled down the beers. I noticed Tyler was only on her second one and she peered up at me from the rocking chair she was sitting in and smiled, “If you are wondering, I don’t drink that much. Especially when I have a lot on my mind.” She took a quick sip and sat it down on the little ashtray table next to her, “I’m the exact opposite. I drink when I’m stressed out. Usually the harder stuff, but this will do. Have you ever gotten black out drunk? You don’t seem like the type.” Emery perked up and answered for her all too willingly, “It’s not that she gets blackout drunk. She gets mean. She beat the shit outta-“ Tyler launched her beer can as hard as she could at Emery and he laughed out loud, “Shut the fuck up, Emery. I don’t fight people. Don’t listen to him. I was a little rowdy back in my teen years. If I drank dark liquor of any kind I would lose my shit. That’s why I stick to this shitty beer or I dri
Tyler’s POVLast night was hands down the most perfect night I have ever experienced in my life thus far. I have never felt the way Dalton made me feel before. He took his time with me and showed me things I didn’t even you could do without having full on sex. My body was worshipped and I was sated. For now. I felt like I was attached to a high voltage battery and nothing could unplug me. What would it be like when we actually made love? I mean, If the man can do what he did with his tongue and just his fingers then I can’t wait to see what he can do when he is inside of me. I came back to reality as my phone alarm went off. I tried to reach the night stand, but Dalton’s arm was wrapped firmly around me. I moved just enough to where I could hit the off button on my screen before he pulled me in tighter and groaned, “Trying to escape, Darlin’?” He kissed the back of my head and inhaled deeply. I rolled over to face him and saw that the sunlight was hitting his honey colored
Tyler’s POVDalton had dropped us off at work and as bad as I wanted to jump back in his truck and go lay up with him all day, I couldn’t. We had a shit ton of paperwork to do. I swear I had a two foot tall stack of reports sitting on my desk. Emery had thrown up twice already and I made fun of him as per usual. The dumbass has never been able to hold beer down so I don’t even know why he tried. As I was sitting there listening to some music on my earphones I started thinking about Maxine. She looked so familiar to me. I couldn’t place where I had seen her, but I knew for a fact I had seen her before. She definitely did not like me for obvious reasons but that’s not what bothered me about her. I could literally smell the evil that came off of her. I don’t mean in like a evil high school bully way either. She was pure evil. I was probably over thinking but my gut was telling me something was definitely wrong with her. I get being jealous and the whole bitchy thing, but she l
Alpha Dalton’s POV“Dude, what the fuck was up with that whole Maxine situation? She looked like she wanted to kill Tyler.” I was sitting in my office chair scanning over some treaty paper work about a pack in Italy that needed our assistance. I glanced up at Nick and shook my head, “Her original reason of coming over was to warn me that some humans were seen snooping around the border, but then she caught sight of Tyler and lost her shit,” I signed the last paper and stacked in on the pile of papers next to me, “She was blabbing on and on about how she was the one and she is better. Blah blah blah.” I held up my hand and made a opened and closed gesture like someone talking too much which is exactly all Maxine did. She talked a big game, but even without werewolf strength, I think Tyler could whoop her ass. “She needs to let it go. Y’all slept together one time! Also, the disrespect is insane. I’m surprised you haven’t kicked her down to a lower village. She needs a rude a
Alpha Dalton’s POVWe pulled into the parking lot of the station and saw Tyler and Emery walking fast to the front door. I jumped out and ran up to her as she opened and I grabbed her in my arms. Her body heat was beyond want a normal humans should be and I could hear her heart beat racing, “I’m here, Darlin’ I’m here. Get in the truck.” I kissed her forehead as she reluctantly let go of my waist. Nick already had the door open for her and she climbed in as Emery and Nick got in the back. I ran to the other side and hopped in, “Tyler, what happened?” I looked over at her face and it was so pale. She glanced back at Emery and his eyes were shut and he was breathing heavy. I reached over and grabbed her hand to get her attention, “He told me that someone he knows very well is watching the pack for him. That’s how he got my gun. He said that if I continued to see you then he would have no choice but to-“ she sighed shakily, “kill you. He said he would leave my family alone, bu
Alpha Dalton’s POV“Y’all are lookin’ real suspicious.” Tyler eyed us both, “Is there something I should know?” She looked over at Emery and he scratched the little bit of scruff on his chin and looked over at me. I knew he wanted me to tell her but there is no way I’m going to. Creating a werewolf is hard. He could die if his body rejects it and I really don’t want to have that conversation with them but I’m being thrown into it, “Emery has something he wants to tell you.” I waved Emery on. Tyler was still looking at me when Emery mouthed to me ‘Thanks asshole’. I had to stifle a laugh. Tyler turned toward him and crossed her harms while tilting her head, “What? Spit it out.” Emery gulped audibly and grabbed Tyler’s shoulders, “This is gonna sound insane, but with the possibility of you being Dalton’s mate that means you would move here. It means I would be alone out there and could only visit every so often.” She looked at him and squinted, “Go on.” Emery sighed and dropp
Alpha Dalton’s POV:8 MONTHS LATER:I looked over at my beautiful Luna and smiled. As a man we are taught not to show emotion, but with her standing by my side in all white, I couldn’t help but get a little teary eyed. My dreams have all come true in the matter of a year. I have never been as happy as I am now. We decided to wait for children after her little scare, but then that all went out the window when just a few short weeks later two pink lines popped up. I decided right then and there to make her my wife. I was going to do it anyway but what better way to surprise my momma than with a wedding and a baby. Tyler was upset at first because it wasn’t in her plans and I totally understood that. It’s her body and I told her that whatever decision she wanted to make that I would back her up entirely. Now she is standing next to me in a beautiful flowing white gown with little rose petals sewn into the train. Her hair is down and curled beautifully and light makeup covers her face. Her
Tyler’s POVI watched as Dalton walked through the front door of the pack house. His face was tired and his shoulders hung. He had executed Maxine and Doctor Winder this morning and then we had all helped with tending to the hurt pack members. I didn’t go with him to see them be executed. I couldn’t bring myself to do it even though she had tried to kill me, my family, and Dalton multiple times. I just didn’t want to look her in the eyes as he took her life. I was sitting at the kitchen bar when he walked in. He eyed me and made a straight path to me. When he approached he turned my chair toward him and picked me up by my waist and held me tight to him as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He has hugged me and loved on me multiple times but this was different. Dalton was known around the world for his cruelty but no one but his family, friends, and I knew this side of him. What he has been through lately and what he had to do this morning had upset him and exhausted him, “You okay, Ho
Tyler’s POVOnce we stopped at the border I could see that a war was going on. There were bodies on the ground and the earth was scorched. Werewolves were fighting witches left and right but being taken down easily by their violent blasts of power. If you have ever seen a power box explode and light up the sky that is what it looked like. I scanned the horrific scene frantically. I didn’t see Emery anywhere. I jumped out of the truck without a second to explain and ran towards the chaos. Dalton was hot on my heels, yelling at me to stop but I didn’t care. My best friend was out there somewhere and Maxine had gotten the jump on us., “Tyler! Stop!” He screamed at me. I whipped my head around to see him tearing his shirt off and I screamed back, “No! I have to find Emery!” I continued my sprint until I tripped over someone and landed flat on my chest with a loud thump. I quickly regained my footing and went to take off when I heard my name, “Tyler.” I turned around and it was
Alpha Dalton’s POVHow could you protect a whole pack but yet only truly care for one person? Don’t get me wrong, I care for my pack but not as intensely as I care for Tyler. Nothing comes that close. I looked over at her as we drove to the prison. She was staring out the window and biting one of her nails. I have examined this woman on a stalker level so I know she is nervous when she does that. She would never really admit it though. One thing among a thousand other things I admired about Tyler was her sense of always trying to seem like she was fine. She made others feel calm even though she is probably freaking the fuck out. She turned toward me and gave a half smile but quickly looked back at the window, “She’s coming for me. Isn’t she?” I kept my eyes on the road and made sure my voice came out steady. I wasn’t going to sugar coat it for her. Tyler can handle just about anything you throw her way, “Yes, but I will try my hardest to prevent that.” I saw her shift out o
Alpha Dalton’s POVTyler had gone to the doctor this morning to figure out what was up with all the throwing up she did throughout the night. She was acting weird this morning when she left. I was just finishing up the approval on the design for Genevieve’s house. She decided after the battle that she would stay in the pack. Tyler’s parents went back home and so did her siblings. Tallon and Benny decided to finish out the year where they live and then move their families here. Tyler had been so excited when they said they were coming back. She hasn’t stopped talking about it. Thorn is staying with his parents for now and comes and goes when Tyler needs him. They are quickly becoming the siblings Thorn had always wanted them to be. Life felt complete here, but I was worried about Tyler. She keeps pushing herself to the limit with training and I think it has worn her down immensely. I sighed and rubbed my forehead as a knock sounded from my door. I quickly rubbed the tirednes
Tyler’s POV3weeks laterIt was 3 in the morning when I crept down the stairs to grab a glass of water. Dalton and I had just gotten back from a beach vacation a few days ago and I was so wound up from it still that I couldn’t sleep. I also had been nauseous all day. I rounded the stairs and padded my way into the kitchen with thoughts of Dalton and I making love on the beach in the middle of the night. My smiled quickly faded and was replaced with a mouth open scream when I saw Emery standing in the doorway leading out into the backyard. He quickly spun around and held his fists up and his eyes widened before an aggravated expression took over his face, “What the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you scream like that?” My hand went up to my chest as I heaved a deep breath and tried to calm my fast beating heart. I walked toward the fridge and whisper yelled at him, “What the hell are you doing standing in the dark like a creepy weirdo? I’m pretty sure I just p
Tyler’s POVWhy is it that every time I decide to take matters into my own stupid hands I end up knocked out cold? I have to start making better decisions. I squinted through one eye and immediately felt a sharp pain just above my right eyebrow as the light from the room blasted me. I decided that opening both my eyes would be best since I didn’t know where the fuck I was. I glanced around and the first thing that came into focus was my mom sweeping like a mad woman and cursing at my dad while he was watching some car show, “You could get up and help, you know? These men are so messy. Tyler isn’t tidy either so I know I’m going to be over here helping out the cleaning crew once a week. Is this a condom?” I snorted at my mom picking up a wrapper of some sorts and my dads head snapped over to me, “Tyler?” They both came running towards me as I winced and tried to sit up. I felt like I had been run over by a bus. I can’t remember much but I do remember killing him. I remember
Alpha Dalton’s POVAs I headed straight towards the devil incarnate with Thorn on my back I heard nothing but the pounding of my paws hitting the ground and the blood pumping through my veins. Argents eyes were anywhere but on me. He was scanning the field for someone and I know exactly who he was looking for, “Not a chance, asshole!” Knox growled in my head and gave me extra strength to move forward, “Dalton!” Thorn’s voice interrupted my thoughts as I got closer and closer to Argent. I looked to my side slightly and Thorn had his finger pointed to my right, “Tyler!” He yelled loud as I took a double take at my Luna on the back of one of my warriors. Fury was evident in her eyes and her arms were out stretched. Her body was literally in flames, but not burning the wolf she rode, “What the fuck, Tyler? What are you doing?! I told you to stay in the war room!” She turned toward me and even from across the field I could feel her every emotion, “This isn’t just your war, Dalto
Alpha Dalton’s POVThe crisp fall breeze entered my lungs as I stepped out on the field where the rogues will be at in just a matter of minutes. Tyler was tucked safely under my arm, but I knew she could not remain there. She would have to go and stay safely hidden in the war room in the prison. It was heavily guarded and no one was getting in there with our some kind of explosive. I looked down at her and she met my eyes with her mossy green stare. For a moment that is all I saw until the horn sounded. She frantically looked around then back at me. Her eyes searching for some kind of comfort, “Dalton, I-“ I stopped her words with a soft kiss and held her face close to mine. I leaned down and looked from her mouth to her eyes and smiled, “It’s all gonna be okay. You are going with Garrett and Shay,” I waved my two warriors over and they greeted Tyler with a sympathetic smile. They were mates. They knew the agony that Tyler and I felt, “They are going to escort you to the wa
