Sawyer couldn't see anything. His eyelids were heavy, as though someone forced a palm on them. He was alone in the darkness."Hello?" His voice echoes back to him. Louder than normal. He took a step but didn't fall.He kept walking. "Hello?" There was a bright light ahead in the distance. It grew apart from him the more he walked towards it. He was going down what felt like a large corridor without visible walls, but the hairs on his arms stood on end and he could feel the subtle movement of everything around him. The light stopped now and went off.He was plunged into darkness again. This time he waited. For something, he didn't know to come.It didn't even take up to five minutes. The colors burst forth from the darkness at him, forming a symbol – a family in the air. His eyes widened at the twin-shaped stars, but more at the ethereal figure that appeared out of it."The Moon Goddess," he fell on his face now. Her beam was bright and powerful, and he felt electrocuted when she pulle
Sawyer didn't get to see Daniel for the next two days. The elders had begun talks with Anita's family, and Daniel was needed at their meetings . He was also in charge of overseeing the moonlight consummation. It was hurting to see these preparations being set in place for someone else. And he tried to reassure himself that it was only a matter of time before the Pack elders regretted their decision of making him Luna Consort.He was busy as well with the mails and constant calls of the general public. Somehow, word had got out that he was carrying Alpha Daniel's babies and so many people came from all over, both humans and members of other werewolves' packs in Manhattan to congratulate him for winning the insufferable Alpha's heart. Sawyer could see the envy written on their faces as they trooped into his room, and he felt lucky. Maddie and Sophie helped serve them root beer floats and chocolate cookies. There were also hard candies as well, and Sawyer was thankful to everyone that cam
It was scarcely a fifteen minutes drive from Daniel's mansion to the Blue Moon's Pack House. The elders were lined up, waiting outside when they arrived, and a handful of influential Alphas. As Daniel helped him down, Sawyer caught their disgusted expressions but did not comment. His body burning all over was more than enough headache for him already. His legs were hurting from the weight of his belly."Should I carry you?" Daniel asked solemnly, his eyes soft and affectionate. He placed a hand on the small of Sawyer's back, and the omega allowed him to guide his steps. They reached the elders and halted and Daniel signaled a passing omega to come to help Sawyer stand while he shook hands."I don't think he's expecting just one pup, Daniel." Elder James said, pulling his nephew in for a hug. "You've done this Pack proud, son. It's a shame that he turned out to be a male." Daniel made a face, leading him to continue. "You must understand that this is not in our hands. We're not homopho
Sawyer couldn't feel his legs. It had gone numb from his waist downward, and his head was heavy; as though it was stuffed full with lead. He couldn't move it without a splitting headache rocking his skull. His joints ached and his stomach felt weird. His anal hole wasn't even hurting.What. The...He ran a hand down his body slowly to a surprise on his stomach. His baby bump was gone!That fueled his static energy and he jerked upright in a panic. Had he lost the babies? Where were they?There was a slight tug at his left arm and he frowned, glaring up at the connected drip bag. His eyes were unfocused as he stared at Daniel's turned back. The Alpha leaned forward, singing into the crib in front of him. The atmosphere was set ablaze by tiny, shrill cries that made Sawyer's head burn. They sounded cute...and dreadful.As though Daniel could feel that he was awake, he turned, eyes widening in momentary panic. "You're awake, oh my goodness." He rushed forward, placing a steadying grip on
Sawyer sat quietly on a reclining chair in the dimly lit room he was slowly getting accustomed to as his. He was feeding Teagan his baby formula while darting his eyes at intervals towards a sleeping Milo that lay in the crib. It'd been over a month since he'd put to bed, and his mind had never been more at rest.Until today. The Moonlight Ritual was to take place in a few hours. He'd taken a peek out the window at the sound of horns and trumpets blaring, engines turning as Anita and her family convoy filed into the Pack Compound. He'd flushed with envy and resentment as she curtsied before the Elders; their eyes bright, welcoming. Then Daniel had shaken her hand, beaming. He shouldn't have felt envious of her. Daniel was mated to him, not her, no matter how much the Elders decided to pretend he didn't exist. That could be the reason they kept him around. Daniel wouldn't be at rest if Sawyer left the Pack.The preparations had started shortly after he'd been delivered of the twins. Th
Evacuation.Sawyer felt his whole world falling apart as he read through the government’s werewolf eviction memo again. The third time he was doing so. It couldn’t be. This had to be a joke.But it was real. The words on the paper in his hands were real and the stamp at the tail end of the page confirmed that the president was in support. Oh, God. His heart began to race in panic.The sweet shop. Where would I run to? I’m almost on heat!Deep breaths, Sawyer. Deep breaths.At least the reasons for the eviction notice were reasonable. A bit.In the best interests and safety of all Manhattan citizens, I, President Kickbutt order the immediate evacuation of all werewolf residents in the state. It is with a heavy heart I also announce the death of my colleague and best friend, the Vice President of Manhattan – Sir George Phillips, whose home security system was bypassed and his home broken into by a group of werewolf hooligans. We’re so sure that the culprits are werewolves because the ma
“What got into me to think that this was a good idea at all?” Sawyer mumbled as they sashayed down the dark, lonely road that led to Bad and Boogie. It was a black, misty night and the werewolf whores were all about, lingering around the entrance and cramped parking lot. Sawyer could spot a handful of alphas around. His heat was slowly becoming unbearable and he couldn’t wait to find someone worthy and get the night over with.“It’s going to be fine,” Maddie reassured him for the umpteenth time that evening. “You do have a knack of worrying too damn much. Have I ever convinced you to try out something I’m not so sure of? Chill.”She had a point. Sawyer tried to visibly relax as they stopped to tip the hefty bouncer at the entrance. The man was an alpha no doubt, big and intimidating. His eyes darkened with lust as Sawyer hurried after Maddie, his heat smell permeating the small crowded corridor that led to the main bar.“Do you think he’s a good choice?” Sawyer asked, eyes still glued
Daniel backed the lady who was becoming increasingly aggressive up against the wall, their tongues moving in sync as he ground hard against her mid-section. She moaned, tilting her head back to give his lips access to her long, slender neck, her fingers sifting through his hair. He trailed hot, hard kisses down her neck to her breasts, moving the thin fabric that did little to hide her bulging cleavage to the side, taking a bulbous pink nipple into his mouth.In truth, he wasn’t really enjoying any of it. Victoria had been his sexual partner for a long, despite the fact that she was now in a relationship with Spencer his best friend. He’d met her at his very own company’s end-of-the-year dinner last year when Spencer introduced her to him as his fiancée. He’d felt hurt, butt-hurt, because he was in love with Spencer too but things became crazy when Victoria sought him out the day after, and they had wild sex on the back seat of his car by the roadside.He made a sloppy sound as he let

Sawyer closed his eyes, holding tightly onto Daniel, and felt three again. This time he was back in the little cramped Packhouse, the elders seated around him. His mother held onto his hand, pleading for a fairer punishment to be given to him, as he was the youngest in the Pack then. He couldn't remember what offense he committed, but he could relate the feeling of nervousness he'd felt back then to his current state. His heart was pounding, a million possibilities running through his mind – all negative. What if the elders didn't accept him or the baby? What if they accused him of being a bloodsucker after Daniel's money? What if they didn't think he was good enough to be Daniel's mate? The what-ifs didn't seem to be ending soon.Deep breaths, Sawyer. You can do this.Sawyer was aware of the level of influence the elders of a Pack held. As a combined force, they could overrule the decisions of Alphas and Betas. Their verdict, when passed was final and couldn't be twisted. He'd feared
After a much-needed hour-long nap, Sawyer went down to the garden. Daniel had gone out to get some groceries, and he was bored to death. To pass time, he strolled along the paved paths, running into a few people occasionally. He had to admit that the flowers looked neat – the blooms on the perennials were in excellent shape, florist quality. The soothing breeze whipped around his neck, and it felt like the first breaking dawn of spring all over again.There were curved marble benches sitting at strategic positions along the walk. He sat on one beneath a cozy tree, enjoying the vast green scenery and the calling of birds above his head. It was mid-summer and despite the soft breeze, the heat was sweltering and overwhelming. He wished he'd taken a bottle of water along with him. His throat was drier than the Sahara, and he could really use some cool water on his back.The mansion looked distant from his position in the garden. He'd walked so far and he could see the garden's edge which
"We're home, baby," Daniel announced as he pulled into the penthouse's driveway. He tapped the omega who was fast asleep lightly on his cheek. "Come on, now, hun. Let's get you to bed."Sawyer yawned and stretched his arms, his joint aching. He peered up at the familiar white, towering mansion in front of him as Daniel got out, over to the other side to open the door for him. He stepped out happily with his totes bag, slinging it over his left shoulder. Daniel wrapped an arm around his waist possessively, kissing his neck lightly as they walked into the spacious lobby. "I've called the pack doctor to come to check you up. But that would be later when you've fully rested, dear."Sawyer was about to protest by Daniel quickly shut him up with a kiss. When the Alpha pulled back, Sawyer chased after his lips, but Daniel placed a palm on his chest to stop him. "Easy now, buddy. You've got to understand that as my mate, you and my unborn pup's health and needs are my top priorities. I wouldn
The room appeared to tilt as Daniel stood rooted, far more fazed by the startling revelation than Sawyer had anticipated. His eyes twitched and he could feel the tears so close. He didn't want to betray his Alphahood but he couldn't help himself, neither could he believe it. "Our baby..."Sawyer whimpered in agreement, a bit frightened. Daniel looked as pale as a ghost – he'd never seen him look so old. Maddie rushed to put the chair in place behind him and he sat down heavily. Daniel dragged a second kitchenette chair closer. His legs couldn't hold him up anymore."Our baby." He repeated, his face breaking into a triumphant smile. "Our child. Is this the reason why you refused to open the door? You didn't want me to know about...my child?"Sawyer's face heated up in both shame and embarrassment as he managed to blurt out. "Yes. You should never have known about this pregnancy. It's not your place, Sir.""Do you hate me that much? Am I that distasteful?" Daniel knew he could come acro
