I walked through the pack, having left my friends, heading home ready to relax and settle down for the night, when I was shocked to feel my phone vibrating in my back pocket. Not many people actually called me. Everybody used the mindlink in the pack, and as of yet, I didn’t particularly know anybod
He reached for my hand, and pulled me toward him, so all I could smell was his spicy, manly scent. My head and heart felt like it wanted to explode as he lowered his mouth to my ear and whispered. “I was tempted to wait for you naked, but I was worried somebody might walk by and see…”My eyes widene
I sat inside my room, unable to sleep and found myself thinking of laying out on the sofa in the lounge to watch a film could be good. My small TV in my room had been playing up, and it wasn’t like anyone ever came and used the lounge TV. I snuck from my room, knowing there would be nobody about. Ot
I am awoken early by my father banging off my door. Ordering me to get up and get dressed. I have little choice. This is my life now for the next few weeks at least. I must go touring the country, go and meet countless she-wolves I had no interest in. I would rather be here, in pack, setting things
I think he liked the idea of grandchildren. He’d be disappointed with me then. As I would be in no rush…“No doubt.” I said with a hint of sarcasm.My Dad looked at me with a dark glare. “Though it is you that needs to be having pups if you are given the title, you realize that, right?”“I don’t nee
We pulled into the parking area outside the packhouse of the Silver River Pack, and I have to say I was already greatly disappointed. The pack was pathetic. Small and evidently worth very little. I could see why they were trying to marry off one of their own to an Alpha like me. Thinking it could br
‘You know what you have done. Do you realize how weak you have made me seem?’ I replied to him, and he shrugged.‘Better to show a little weakness, than to show ruthlessness and no self-control. If they knew you had rejected your fated, not one would have volunteered their daughters. If you want to
I had planned to try and get an earlier night, knowing we had an early pack run tomorrow, but knew chances were my sleep would be as challenging for me as ever. I had to do my nightly surveillance of the packhouse before going to my room, or that would make sleep even less likely. Despite the fact I
Epilogue - Asher 7 months later “Asher, I hate you!” Bailey screamed, as she laid on the hospital bed, writhing in pain. And Zion chuckled in glee at the insults my mate was throwing my way, not to mention the pain she was inflicting upon me as she gripped my hand through each contraction. He seemed to be seriously enjoying my suffering... “Is she meant to be this angry?” I muttered to one of the nurses, who looked at me with her eyebrows raised like I was some sort of monster. Okay, maybe I would just sit quietly. Now I seemed to have angered the nurse as well as my mate... Zion once more was laughing. ‘Not so good at this are you?’ he teased. ‘Oh, big shot, Beta.’ ‘You’re a Beta too, you freak.’ I snapped back, while my eyes met Bailey’s and, quite honestly, she looked like she was possessed. ‘Can childbirth turn a woman into a demon?’ Zion asked me. ‘Because right about now she looks pretty freaky, and I do not mean in a good way, like, we about to get freaky sort of a way…’
Epilogue Bailey contd… Miles would no longer be involved in, anyway, shape or form with the Lotus Shadow Pack. His actions had well and truly severed all ties to his family and his pack. And, I have to say, I felt nothing towards him, no pity or anything. He deserved everything he got.“You two better not be holding us up because you couldn't resist ripping each other’s clothes off!” Morgan called through the door, so loud it was likely half the pack heard. “Open the door before she says anything else!” I warned Asher, and he chuckled. He may not have been keen on my sister when she first arrived, but now he was spending time with her and Marc on a more regular basis, he was getting used to her somewhat unique and quirky ways, and he actually found her quite amusing now. “Come on, we are going to be late!” Marc said as Asher opened the door. “Alpha and Luna are just putting the little ones in the car.” I walked to meet them at the front door, ready to make our departure to our form
Epilogue - Bailey… 4 months later I sat on the edge of our bed, nerves rushing through every part of my body, while Asher paced the floor in front of me before he looked down at me. In the whole time since we had officially become a couple, this was the first time I had felt so worried. I did not know how he would react when I told him the news, but now he was as nervous as I was. “Are you sure you did the test right?” he asked, his voice wobbling a little. “Can you do them wrong? You pee on it and wait, right?” I attempted to joke, but I genuinely didn’t think I had done it wrong. I just hated the wait… I had not felt right for a couple of weeks now, and had put it down to a virus going around school. It had not taken me long to go back to work after leaving the hospital after all the drama of the incident with Miles. And soon Asher and I had fallen into the routine of a couple, and I loved it. It was like we had always been together. His late night working sessions were a th
“Slow down, I don’t need you near falling over again.” I teased.‘Spoilsport.’ Akira joked. ‘I was looking forward to that.’I used the en suite shower room to take a shower, and get myself dressed into the clothes that my sister had thankfully dropped off for me, before we walked from the hospital
I woke up from snoozing, and found Asher crashed out in the chair next to my bed. He still had not left my side. Despite every reassuring word the doctor could give him, he had chosen not to leave me. We had marked one another last night, so were now officially mates, and I can only say it feels bey
“Hello?” Beta Donovan’s voice answered almost immediately, despite sounding sleepy, which was unsurprising given the hour. “Beta Asher, please do not tell me you are calling me to tell me something else has happened. Last update I had Bailey was stable. Has that changed?” he demanded before Bailey w
I could see Bailey’s eyes watching me as I told her I loved her, they flashed darker for a moment, and I caught sight of her canine teeth, taking me by surprise… was Akira deciding she wanted to mark me too? Was she even well enough? Strong enough after everything?‘Maybe us marking her did make her
“No. Bailey, you are making a mistake. You know that right?” Miles said coldly, trying to get my attention. I turned to look at him, shaking my head. He had a fucking nerve. I am making a mistake?“No. You were the mistake Miles. A mistake from the moon goddess when she fated me to you. Because that
I was never going to take the words of Miles as the truth. He never did speak the truth. I knew that. I saw the hurt upon Asher's face as I said I wanted to hear what Miles had to say, but, I wanted to hear what he had to say. I wanted to see if he would apologize to me. I felt I deserved an apology
