My father was on his way over. I had been sending him out to gather some information regarding Seth, his mate and their pup. Normally I would never even consider mixing myself into rival pack business. But, this was Stella’s family. And her father was threatening to kill her nephew. It was a mess, and all because Stella’s mate was me. It infuriated me that he was able to hurt his own children this way. Not to mention he was running out of kids to take over the South pack as alpha. Obviously Stella was no longer planning on taking over, at least I thought. Maybe that was a conversation we needed to have. The door to my den swung open and Stella wandered in, holding a tablet and my credit card. This was going to hurt my wallet. I smiled up at her and she plopped down into my lap, wrapping one arm around my shoulders. “Okay, so just a few more things? I just really want a different bed. The thought of you with any other female in it just..” I knew where this was going and I interrupte
Stella POVI hadn’t meant to actually injure a wolf today. But they looked threatened and that meant they could come after one of us first. Instinct told me to attack. I pushed my back legs hard into the ground, springing my body over Trevor’s and at the larger brown wolf who was closer. I caught him by surprise, biting my jaw down onto his shoulder blade and ripping it open, throwing him to the ground. The other wolf took off, leaving his brother alone with two strange wolves. Coward, I thought. The young wolf shifted once on the ground injured and I immediately recognized him. His name was Logan, and he was in fact young. Maybe 18 at the oldest. He didn’t know any better. Trevor shifted to speak to him, maybe try and get some information. We quickly found out that my Father was telling the entire South pack that I was dead. But at the hands of Trevor. The thought of Trevor laying a finger on me made me laugh. He would never. We asked where we may find Seth and took off in that d
I pulled on some grey sweatpants and tossed on one of Trevor’s tshirts and made my way back out into the living room. June was sitting on the couch with Kyle, chatting. Collin was at the kitchen island eating a sandwich, having a conversation on the phone. Silas and two other guards were in the den. I looked around, slightly panicked, for Jonas. June must have noticed because suddenly I heard her; “he’s with Trevor’s nanny?” She wasn’t sure Kimberly position. I nodded and my shoulders slumped down in relief.“You know..” June huffed loudly. “If you’re going to do it like that, and be super loud, you could warn us?” Collin choked on whatever he had in his mouth and stared over at June with wide eyes. Silas had popped his head around the corner of the doorway and Kyle busted out laughing. They heard every bump and moan! I rolled my eyes, trying not to seem too embarrassed.“With an ass like this, I’m taking every chance I can get. Don’t be jealous you’re not getting any!” Trevor appear
Trevor POV A blood curdling scream emerged from across the border line. I wasn't positive, but I was fairly certain it was Jonas, Stellas nephew. The look on her face confirmed it. I knew Stella would want to run straight into the danger, so I grabbed her arm tight enough to get her attention. I was worried that this was a plan of attack. As soon as she crossed over into their land, somebody would go after her. Like her scum bag of a Father. In that moment for a quick second I was extremely grateful for the Father I had. I would have to make sure to mention that to him when I saw him next and we weren't fighting or dealing with drama. Stellas arm was wet from the rain. She whipped around to face me, and I could see the agony and pain in her eyes. "You can't just go in there without knowing.." She ripped her arm away from my hand, giving me a look that scared even me. She started towards the sound, but stopped suddenly when she noticed something. I looked up where she was looking and
Three Months Later Stella POV The leaves had fallen off all of the trees and a blanket of snow covered the forrest floor. I listened to the snow crunch underneath my paws with each step I took. It was early morning and the sun was peaking through the top of the tree lines, making the white fluff look like glitter. It was pretty, I thought. Trevor had been gone for two nights now. He was off on business in a neighboring city, though he wouldn't tell me what it was for. The thought of him being away from me made my chest hurt. We had never been away from one another this long since we found out we were mates. Of course he had Silas and Kyle staying at the house with June and I. June was still here with me, thankfully. No attempts to come into Bloodsun territory had been made by my Father or any of his guards. I was a little surprised at the fact. But that meant we also hadn't seen Jonas or knew anything of him. My heart hurt thinking that little boy was being raised by psychopaths. My
Trevor POV The news had me head spinning. I worried that Stella was not happy about finding out she was pregnant. And pregnant with twins, none the less. She looked anxious and stressed out. Maybe it was everything all happening around us. I tried not to overthink it. I had asked if she wanted to get married and she snapped at me. I should have kept my mouth shut and planned something and really propose. I looked like an asshole! I was going to do that, I decided. I would get with Collin tomorrow and go buy a ring and plan something special for the two of us. Or was it the four of us? The others had come back from the group pack house and were making lots of noise in the kitchen. Stella wanted to just get it over with and tell them, so that was what we were going to do. We walked out to the living room. June, Kyle, Collin, Silas and Coraline were all there around the kitchen island, goofing off, tearing into a few boxes of pizza they must have picked up along the way home from the pa
Stella POV "So Alpha, why are we really here?" The words hung in the air as Trevor and I looked at each other, then back over at Sam and his mate, Emily. I could see Trevor wiggling his fingers around the top of his wine glass. "Alpha Jones has contracted scientists. He's working on something with forsaken blood. I'm assuming he wants to use it like he did when he tried to have Stella killed. I don't have a lot of information as to what he is actually doing. It's hard to get intel. The only reason we know is Stellas Mother" I watched their reactions go from shocked to understanding. They were listening intently. "My Mother crossed our borders to tell me that my Father was coming after all of us. And that he was using forsaken blood. Well, she told me that he was using scientists to do something with the forsaken blood. We need to gather as much information as we can regarding the blood and the venom. We have to get ahead of this." Emily nodded, reaching her hand out to me acros
Trevor POVThe sun was beginning to rise as we made our way back to the house. The sun rays were peaking through the holes in the trees. A few pack guards escorted Rebecca closely. She would be speaking with me later on once I cleaned up and calmed down. If I spoke to her now, I'd slit her throat in a second. I was trying to wrap my head around the fact that one of my own pack members had tried to hurt or maybe even kill my mate. The snow crunched under my paws as the house appeared in the distance. I looked over at Stella who was walking next to me, her white fur covered in blood. Her restraint to not kill Rebecca was impressive. I would have her checked out by one of the pack doctors when we got back, just to make sure her and the babies were okay. She sustained a few injuries while we were out there but healed quickly, so I was hopeful that she would be just fine. She huffed as we neared the house, the hairs on the back of her neck standing up straight. She looked at me, and I rea
Stella POV I knew that my statement had caught Trevor off guard. It was the last thing that I wanted to do, that any of my siblings would want. My Mother was a good woman, a good wolf. She was always caring and understanding with all of us growing up. She was patient when most would have lost their cool. She had risked her life to warn me of my Fathers attack when I was pregnant, before I even knew I was pregnant. In the long run, she would always try and protect her pups, regardless of how old we all were. She had lost two already, and almost a third. Her loss was unmeasurable. I sat wrapped up in a blanket on a chair in the corner of the room, watching a lit candle flicker against the turned off TV. Trevor was fast asleep, legs spread covering most of the king sized bed. My mind was racing, wondering if my Mother was possibly thinking the same thing that I was. Did she know that she had to be sacraficed in order to defeat my Father? Was she still blindly following him even though
Trevor povThe evening definitely hadn’t gone that way I had hoped. Maybe I was foolish for thinking the Alpha ball was going to happen with no drama. I sprawled my body out on the temperpedic bed, turning the tv on to the news. “They aren’t reporting anything! This is bullshit!” I yelled out to Stella who was washing up in the bathroom. “How can they report on every other fucking thing that happens in our lives, but this? Nah, they’re going to keep quiet.” I rolled my eyes. I heard the bathroom door slide open and rolled to my side, resting my head into my hand. The light switched off and Stella came out. To my surprise though, she wasn’t in her usual boxers and tshirt, but lingerie. Her long hair was hanging to the right side of her face, giving way to her neck on the other side. She was wearing a white corset that stopped right below her breasts, allowing them to bounce lightly with every step. The back was laced all the way up, giving way to a matching pair of lacy crotchless u
Stella pov“Let’s go! Get her in here!” I rushed my large wolf form through the elevator door straight into our suite doors where Collin was standing. He had a doctor ready in the living room. I gently let June down off of my tall back and shifted back quickly. I didn’t care who saw me naked. “What the fuck is going on! Where is Alpha?” Collin spat out as he tossed a blanket at me. I wrapped it around my shoulders and watched intently as the doctor and nurse cleaned out Junes wound quickly. I shrugged.“It went south so fast. He made me leave.” I whispered. Collin noticed the anxiety cross my face as I recalled having to leave him down there. June cried out in pain as they worked. Collin paced back and forth in front of the glass patio doors, his gaze darting between myself and June. “He’ll be fine.” He blurted out, staring at me. I couldn’t respond though. I stood frozen in the blanket, unable to move or speak. “I should go down there..” My eyes slowly moved up to make eye contact
Stella povThe room fell silent. The band stood on the stage, holding their instruments at their sides, looking for a sign whether to start up a new song or not. I kept my focus solely on my Father. He was inching closer, his body stumbling ever so slightly from all the alcohol he had consumed. I could feel the rage flooding through Trevor’s body through the bond. One more move, and he would attack. “You are such a disgrace.” My father hissed through clenched teeth. I stood my ground, not looking away or reacting. He was trying to get a reaction out of me. “We raised you better than this!” He pointed a finger at my alpha. I growled a little, Trevor’s hand gripping my forearm ever so slightly. “You left your pack for a man. You bred for him. Brought pups into a world where their parents don’t belong together. You made a mistake.” “Alpha Jones, I think it’s best you call it a night.” Jasper had made his way off the stage and placed himself between us and my Father. But my Father didn’
Stella POV Trevor filled me in on the elevator ride up with Jasper and what he had said. We let June and Jasper have a few minutes of privacy as we rode down to the hotel lobby. There were a lot of moving pieces that we didn't know how they would all fit in together just yet. The thought of June moving back to South pack lands had me on edge. She wouldn't want to stay with us any longer, now that she had found her mate. And if they were going public with it tonight, she would have to move in with him pretty quickly. "You look stunning." Trevor twirled the large ring on my finger, running his other hand up the inside of my arm. I leaned into him, resting my head on his shoulder. "Thank you" I whispered. The doors opened and we stepped out to flashes and news crews. It caught me off guard a little. Last year, no press was allowed in. This year obviously was different. Trevor grabbed ahold of my hand tightly and led me through the sea of white flashes. We made our way down the red car
Trevor POV The night before hadn't gone like I expected it to, but it had all at the same time. I wasn't sure what I would say to Alpha Jones once I had the chance. But, when it arrived, I had decided he didn't deserve to hear a word from me. When he asked me about my children, I almost exploded. Luckily my Father stepped in quickly. Stella spent the morning with June trying on different dresses that she had brought with her, banishing me to my Fathers room while she did. She wanted me to be surprised again. The memory of the last Alpha ball had me sitting on pins and needles, but I wasn't going to admit that to Stella. I wondered if she could feel it through the bond, though. I could always tell when she was upset or scared or anxious, so I'm sure she could as well. "What time are we headed down to the ball?" My Father asked from the sofa he was laying out on, eating a bag of potato chips. Chip crumbs decorated his white tee shirt. "7pm" I mumbled. He sat up, the crumbs that had p
"I'm not sure I should let you go down alone looking like that." I teased as Trevor finished buttoning up his dress shirt. He was in navy blue dress slacks and a white shirt with paisley blue design on it with a matching blue tie. The matching sports jacket laid out on the end of the bed. He giggled a little, tightening his belt and coming over to me by the patio door. I had poured myself a glass of red wine and decided I would take a nice bubble bath and catch up on my disgustingly addicting dating shows while he attended to first night of meetings without me. Lunas weren't allowed still. "Promise you won't be out all night again. And if you are, at least give me a heads up? I can't deal with another whiskey hangover." I joked with him. He rolled his eyes. "June will be here in a few minutes." He chimmed, walking back to the bed and grabbing his jacket and throwing it on over his large shoulders. He looked so handsome. The news was a surprise to me. "I didnt want you up here alone.
Stella POV I sat on the edge of our bed as I finished putting on my socks. Our bags were packed for two nights away from the house. And the kids. We were about to leave for the Alpha meeting. I was glad it was in neutral territory, and not on my old pack lands. I dont think we would have gone if it were. I actually just don't think Trevor would have even let me go if it was. The risk was too high. I was already anxious leaving the babies. We had never left them for more than a couple of hours to sneak away for a quick date night, or even just downstairs to decompress and watch a movie or a football game together without kids pulling, poking or puking. I knew that Trevor could feel my anxiety through the bond, because he kept appearing in the hallway, peaking in, pacing. I stood up slowly, bending down to grab my overnight makeup bag that was sitting by my feet and made my way out into the living room where Trevor and his Dad were waiting on me to leave. "The bottles are in the fridg
Trevor POVThe wedding planner sat at the kitchen island, watching my dad clean up the high chairs. She was short and slightly overweight with a dark bob. She wore black framed glasses and had on a dark blue womens suit with flats. She carried a large box with “ALPHA” written in giant black marker on the side of it. As soon as she heard us come down the hallway, she sprung off the island chair, softening her jacket down and smiled big at us both. “Good morning!” She chirped. I had only spoken to her a hand full of times. Mostly to pay for things and give approval when needed. Stella was handling everything else though. “Hi Mrs.Jordan. I am so sorry to keep you waiting! Crazy morning today!” Stella reached her hand out and shook hers, then motioned for her to sit back down. “I have the final guest list with me today as well as the seating chart. Caterer is all set and so is the DJ.” She smiled as she slid over a few different pieces of paper. It was smaller, with limited guests. But i
