Later on when Amelie said it was okay for Angel to take Nadia back to the house. Isabelle and Opaline helped him to wear a white shirt for her with cargo pants for females. Tiana wore black soaks for her and Nadia smiled at all the women, grateful for their love and kindness. "I have always wished to be part of a normal family for the longest time. Is it kind of weird that I feel I have found that here?" Nadia said. Angel pressed a kiss to her hair and then rubbed an open palm down her back. "Well… I wouldn't say normal," Tiana said, grinning. "You will understand if you have the kind I had…" Nadia said. Isabelle leaned forward to cup her face. "I hope you still hold that sentiment when the alphas start throwing tantrums," said Isabelle with a raised eyebrow. Nadia smiled. Everyone laughed. "You are one of us, and nobody---as from today---would question your loyalty," Isabelle added in a firm solemn tone. Nadia nodded in understanding. When Isabelle straightened her spine, An
"I expected you to be freaking out about being able to shapeshift but you are not… you want to tell me why?"Angel asked with his lips pressed to the crown of her head. He had his arms wrapped firmly around her and Nadia clung to him pressing her lips to his pectorals. Her hold on him tightened and she snuggled closer to his body even though there was no more space between them. "When I was little, I fell sick at school and the school couldn't reach my parent. The school administrator authorised my transfer to the nearest hospital. My father and my mum got there not long after we did. I suppose they must have been told and they came straight to the hospital. A nurse was about to take my blood for samples when they barged in. My father literally knocked the syringe off of the poor nurse's hands and threatened to knock her out if she came near me. Then he picked me up and the two rushed me out of the hospital and took me home. A few hours later, a doctor came and attended to me. I late
The craft ride to the location was done in groups but as soon as they touched down. Cole took Isabelle's hand, barked out orders to the resort employees standing to receive them and strode away. "Really? Cole!" Xavier protested. "I don't know you, man, see you in seventy-two hours," he said over his shoulders, causing everyone to laugh. He had made all of them wear a face mask and a military cap to cover their hair and the top of their face. The hostesses paired themselves with each couple, including Darrow, Wulfrun and Hallec Wulfrun paused when he saw the hostess attached to him and then Darrow and Hallec. Angel had no idea if it was intentional but the three women were stunning. He perceived Wulfrun's interest immediately and with the way the human discreetly trailed her eyes all over him, Angel knew Wulfrun was about to get entangled in some unexpected liaison. They all milled in as one of the hostesses explained what was in store for them should they need any of the services
Angel was taking a swim with Nadia when the doorbell jingled. He wanted to go and answer it but Nadia stopped him and went to open the door. The hostess pushed in a cart laden with food and came to place them one by one on the small dining table for two in a corner of the room. When she was done, she asked if they needed anything else. "Nothing, for now, thank you," Nadia replied and saw her out of the door then locked it. Reaching for a chicken drumstick, she called out to Angel. Later on, after dinner, they both fell asleep exhausted. But sometime in the night, Angel woke to the soft feel of Nadia's mouth around the tip of his cock, gently suckling him. He drew in her scent and his massive chest heaved as he reached down with eyes still closed to run his fingers through her rich hair. Then she slipped him deeper into her warm, soft mouth, clenching its wall around him before releasing it and then started to pump him in and out. "Nadie!" he groaned, feeling drugged with pleasu
Much later they both lay side by side by the pool, staring up at the dome and the drifting dust of snow settling over the top. "I heard you are spearheading a project in Xavier's home in the United States," Nadia said. "Yeah. Isabelle asked Cole for help with developing the island to accommodate the newly freed Weres. Cole offered to help. Xavier didn't think it was fair to keep letting him spend his money on the pack like that without hope of us ever being financially dependent enough to take over the pack's sustenance. I suggested we opened a winery," he said and turned his head to look at her. She had shifted her position to lay on her side and was listening attentively to him. Nadia smiled at him. "I knew it's a venture we can undertake as a group and sell the produce to the humans. Cole offered to finance it and the development of the island. I like that he is always thinking ahead of what the pack needs and coming forward to attend to it." “He loves Isabelle," Nadia said in
As soon as the others left, Nadia clung to Angel. He buried his nose in her hair, stroking her back. "I should call him, let him know I am fine," Nadia whispered against his pectorals. Angel sighed. "You heard Cole Miller, it will not change anything. I do agree you need to call him but…" "But?" Nadia repeated, drawing slightly back to gaze up into his face. "What if he decided to send a group of those assassins to come and get you? Or ask you to come home. He is your father, Nadia…" "And I am your woman. I will explain the situation to him. Perhaps if he finds out that I am now full-blown Were, he will understand and let us be…" "And what if it doesn't play out that easily? He must know the kind of life you would be subjected to and no father would want that for their only child." "What would you have me do? Do nothing and allow innocent people to die needlessly for me?" "Nadia…" "I have to make him see, that those assassins would be facing off with me and my people. Tha
Nadia woke up the following morning and found herself peering into dark grey eyes. "Good morning, my love," she whispered. "How long have you been awake?" "Not long," he said. His voice was low and husky. Nadia raised her hand to cup his chin and leaned in to coax his lips open to draw in his upper lip. She moaned when she felt Angel wrap his arms around her, lean backward to rest his back on the bed, taking her with him, he cupped her butt cheeks with his hands, opening her wide as he gently stroked her vulva then slipped a finger into her. "Angel!" Nadia moaned. "I've been waiting for you to wake up," Angel rasped. "Oh!" she gasped as he lifted her up, positioned her to receive him and then lowered her onto him. He groaned loudly, tilting his head back on the pillow with sheer pleasure as she took him in. She felt wet, tight and sweet. "Angel!" She groaned. He cupped her hips and urged her forward. Nadia shook atop him and started to buck against him. They both moaned. S
Getting back to the United States was nerve-wracking. Cole Miller made them all wear contact lenses and stay in disguise. Xavier was constantly on the phone for reports of the happenings on the island while watching Amelie like a hawk. Cole Miller paced almost half the way to their destination. And his phone was ringing nonstop. Everyone was high-strung and Nadia hated that she was in the middle of the drama. "What?!" Cole Miller exclaimed from the passenger seat of the truck that came to pick them up from the airport transporting them to the abandoned park already set for their arrival. Angel sat up from the back and Jason who took over from the driver that came to pick them was behind the wheel. He attempted to slow the vehicle when Cole exclaimed but Cole Miller urged him to go on, gesturing to Jason to speed up. Cole then put the phone on speaker. "Yes, boss. Another one of the gardeners working on the horticulture was found beaten and dead close to the doc's old cabin. It's p
When their needs were thoroughly satisfied, they found their way to the park. Angel noticed the little ones were no longer there. Amelie and the triplets had gone back to the cabin but Xavier was there with Cole, Ash, and the rest of the gang. Cole was standing behind Isabelle with his arms wrapped around her, chatting with Xavier and Jason. Opaline was talking to Faelan and he could see the younger Were shifting on his feet and darting anxious gaze to Jason. His big brother turned around and grinned in his direction as the younger Were glowered at him. Jason laughed. Wulfrun, Darrow, Kurt, and Odwolf were sitting around a table laden with drinks, and with the way Wulfrun kept shaking his head and staring into his cup he was certain the Alpha wolf was half drunk. Tiana was in a corner with Ash and with how close their bodies were and the scent surrounding them Angel knew there was some foreplay going on there. "Looks like we have to pick a side," Nadia said in a laughing tone.
Angel and Nadia left his parents and strode back in the direction of the park. Angel wrapped his arm around Nadia's shoulder, holding her tight to his body as they walked. "Tell me about them…" Nadia said in a soft voice. Angel lowered his head to press a kiss to her forehead. "My mother was the only daughter of an alpha—" "Also Wulfblood?" Nadia asked. "No," Angel replied. Nadia smiled up at him. "She was a warrior and quite dashing. According to the story, I heard. She rejected her first mate, and the second and the third…" Angel said. Nadia chuckled. "She said she didn't want to be tied to any mate, but then she met my father at a party and his wolf recognised her as his true mate. My mother said the moment she set her eyes on him she knew she was in trouble." "I bet! Especially if you look like him. It's hard to tell now and it breaks my heart," Nadia said. Angel's arms tightened around her and he kissed her again. "Yes, I looked like him. She said he walked up to her
Xavier, Isabelle, Angel, and Nadia with Hallec in the lead accompanied Angel's parents to an unoccupied cabin not too far from Angel's house. Angel's mother faltered on her feet after the walk, clinging to her son and Angel paused to lift her up in his arms. "Aunty," Isabelle called with concern. "It's been a long day. I am fine, Belle," she said. Isabelle nodded and threw a worried look at Xavier. "Amelie is the pack's doctor. I will come to pick you up first thing in the morning. So she can give you a full body check." "Thank you, Xavier. Cole, Belle's mate, already told us," Alpha Bardulf said, sounding tired too. "He seems like a good human," he added. "He is," Xavier, Angel, and Nadia said at the same time. The old man grinned. Isabelle smiled. "You have quite a number of humans here as security. Do you trust them all?" "Well… they are useful for now. Cole hired them for specific jobs and I am certain that none of them would want to have him as an enemy," Xavier sa
Nadia was with Isabelle, Tiana, Opaline, and Amelie when they all watched the craft land atop the mountain. They had gone to visit Amelie with the new additions to the family as they had been doing for the past few days. Amelie was a bit overwhelmed with the thought of three babies but with the she-wolves' assistance, she had a lot of time to rest and be with her mate. The she-wolves have been taking turns in babysitting and helping with the house chores. Xavier was still a tad careful about having Weres stream freely to the home he now shared with his mate and still had guards standing across the water to the cabin as security and to allow only authorised pack members to cross over to the cabin. But since he was the Alpha to the pack and the triplets were the first babies born by a human mare to a Were, all the pack members were interested in seeing the babies. Xavier decided to organize a party so as to introduce the babies to the pack members. Nadia didn't know the setup of
Angel helped to groom his parents in the jet on their way back to the island, cutting off his father's beard and trimming his hair. Cole gave them new clothes and the two took their baths and changed into the new clothes in the jet. Angel's mother washed her hair and braided it into two cornrows. Her hair was all grey now and reached below her bum. The dress she wore hung on her slim form, but Angel thought they looked quite better than they did a few hours before. The stewards gave them plenty to eat and drink, and Cole assured them they would undergo a thorough check-up when they got to the island. After their meal, Angel sat across their chairs just looking at them. His mother tried to smile at him and her lips trembled as tears welled and spilt down her face. "I never thought that I would see you again. I did pray and prayed for the moon goddess to watch over you and send you a helper," the older woman said in a voice thick with emotion. "I'm so sorry, mama. It was my fault…"
Angel and his parents watched the fucker's blood pool under his head and soak the snow-covered floor. His brain cells splattered everywhere. "Where is the property deed?" Cole asked calmly as if he hadn't just shot a man in the head. "In a box buried under the earth over there," Angel’s father said, weakly, pointing to the left end of where they stood."How come you never gave it to him?" Angel asked, still holding on to his parents, making sure he held them to his sides as if he was afraid they were an illusion that might fade away. "I was hit in the head, when they attacked," the old man started. Angel clenched his teeth remembering the scene too well. "I told him I had lost my memory. Your mother was unconscious for days," he continued. Angel pressed a kiss to the older woman's head as she clung to him. "She lost her voice for a while too. It made it easy for me to continue the charade.""They had killed everybody else…" the older woman chipped in sad resignation. "So there wa
(The Boldclaw Prowlers’ Pack, Ohio. Seven days before Cole and Isabelle's wedding) Angel took a deep breath as the Jeep stopped just in the driveway. The place looked different from the last time he saw it. The expansive bungalow he remembered was now replaced by a massive duplex. The front porch was framed with exotic flower beds and the only familiar sight was the endless ridges of grapevines about a quarter of a mile away from the building spanning to the horizon. He wondered if the small cottages at the south end of the grounds were still there. "Ready?" Cole asked and he directed his gaze at him. "I still can't believe we are here…" Angel said, noting his courage failing. "Believe me, I know exactly how you are feeling right now. But if you don't take that step and find closure, it will forever haunt you. Let's go," he said and without giving Angel the chance to react he pushed the door open and stepped out. Angel was forced to imitate the act. As soon as he stepped out th
"I found out who I am, papa," she said, calling her father the way she used to when she was little or feeling vulnerable. Her father's eyes widened. "W – what do you mean?" he stuttered. "I found out why you and mum wouldn't allow me to use a regular hospital.""That fucking bastard! Did Antonio tell you?! He promised me he will never bring you into his shitty obsession with those creatures---""You mean our kin, papa?""Nadia, listen to me you are nothing like—""I am no longer just wolfless kin as you and my uncle Antonio, Papa. The moon goddess blessed me with a mate, a Wulfblood…""Oh God, he has infected you with his madness. Wulfblood are extinct. They no longer exist, Nadia! Antonio was not right in the head. He was obsessed with those creatures …"Nadia gave Angel a warm smile, Xavier gestured for every Were to turn their back to Nadia and right there she shapeshifted. A gasp tore from the device as her father gaped at her. Isabelle passed a robe to her, standing out of vi
"Tiana!" Amelie called out to the unconscious she-wolf on the ground. "Help me drag her here. She can not die! She was protecting me!" Amelie started to weep. Isabelle rushed back to her and knelt in front of the two women, panting. "Help me drag Tiana here. He shot her in the chest! She was trying to protect me!" "Amelie, calm down…" Isabelle cautioned. The other woman grunted in pain. Isabelle looked from her to Nadia for an explanation."She is in labour," Nadia supplied. Fear clouded Isabelle's eyes. "What?" She muttered and jerked her gaze back to Angel. "Let me try to get Xavier and Cole," Angel said as Amelie struggled to crawl to Tiana, but Nadia stopped her.Isabelle dragged her friend towards the doctor. Amelie struggled to kneel and then quickly tore open Tiana’s vest to check her wound. Nadia knelt beside her ready to help. Angel and Isabelle flanked them, in a protective stance while war literally raged around them. Kurt, Blaze, Odwolf and the rest of the Weres had
