Choosing her heart The dream was real
I groaned, pushing myself off of Wyatt’s bed. My whole body hurt and I felt like ice had crept into the depths of my bones. My eyes found Wyatt's face the same way as it had been before I'd fallen asleep. His skin still held an ashy hue. The heart rate monitor still showed a flat line, despite brain activity. But now I knew the answer as to why.If I had never been to Selene’s kingdom, you would never be able to convince me that the dream I just dreamt was real. When Wyatt woke up, he would wake up wolfless. A vampire. Dex was gone, his soul now tethered in the kingdom. I should have realized what was happening when I felt Wyatt’s ice-cold skin. Though the goddess said that he almost lost his fight, I was thankful to her for giving him another chance. My heart constricted painfully remembering the way that Wyatt looked at me after finding out that he would be living his life as a vampire. A gentle knock at the door broke me from my thoughts and Kai’s head popped in. I mot
Choosing her heart Don't want to be this way (Wyatt POV)
As soon as I stepped over the threshold of my hospital room, I ran. The ache in my head grew with every passing second. My legs carried my faster than I ever imagined possible. I could see everything passing me like I had HD vision, but I knew I was moving at speeds that wolves could never. Twilight Woods was quickly in the past as I kept moving. Kept running. I don’t even know if my feet were on the ground any longer. Honestly, I didn’t care. ‘Dex, please. Please give me anything. This can’t be real. You can’t be gone.’ My head was deafening silence. Nothing. Not a grunt. Not a whine. Not a single smart-ass remark. I abruptly stopped running. Looking around, I was still in the forest. Thick lines of trees filled the space around me. Walking up to one, I slammed my fist into it, hearing a sickening crack, but not from my bones. The tree snapped, splintering down the center. It fell with ease, smashing into the ground. I heard birds escaping the area, fluttering and
Choosing her heart To hell with the bond(Wyatt POV)
As I approached the house, I could smell Felicity. Not the same way that I used to though. Her scent was more alluring. I could almost taste a strawberry milkshake on my tongue, but it was the scent of her sweet blood that lured me closer. I felt saliva pool in my mouth as my body basically forced me into the house. Walking through the house that I'd called home, I followed her scent to the bedroom that we shared. Lying in the bed, Felicity was curled into the fetal position. The dampness on her cheeks glistened, and beneath the glow of the moonlight.... I could see how red and puffy her face was.I felt physical pain in my chest listening to her sniffling and hiccupping in her sleep. When I left the hospital, I wasn’t thinking about anyone but myself and how much this changed my life. I feel like an asshole. If Dex were here, he would have told me I was the biggest asshole. And he would have been right.I walked over, sitting gently on the bed next to Felicity. I gently brus
Choosing her heart Pure bliss (Wyatt POV)
I reached up, freeing her hair from the tie that held it together, letting it flow freely down her back. I laced my fingers through her curls, pulling her face to mine.Her lips parted slightly and our breaths mingled for a moment. I dipped my tongue along her lower lip, sliding it slowly, before pulling her lip through my teeth. She moaned quietly as her tongue plunged deep into my mouth, spreading an unfamiliar warmth through my body and straight to my painfully hardened length. Our tongues danced, fighting for dominance. I savored the way that she tasted. I’d missed it and never wanted to taste anything else. I could live solely on strawberry milkshakes forever and die a happy man. I could hear her heart beating erratically, like a melody in my head. Pulling away from her mouth, I kissed slowly down to her pulse, flicking my tongue over the sensitve skin. I lifted her up, grasping on to her butt and squeezing gently. Her legs wrapped tightly around my waist, and I could sme
Choosing her heart Not sorry (Wyatt POV)
“What did it feel like to you?” She took a deep breath, “Like your body and mine were connected. I felt my climax building, but when your fangs broke my skin, I could feel yours too.” “Did it hurt?” I silently prayed to the goddess that it didn’t. I never wanted to hurt Felicity. She lifted her head off of my shoulder, “That was the most amazing feeling in the entire world. There is nothing that I could describe to compare it to. It was more intense than when you marked me.” I breathed out a sigh of relief, “Thank the Goddess.” She giggled, “Thank the Goddess.” For someone who’s heart no longer beat, I felt alive. I felt like someone had electrified me. “Are you sure you want to do this? With me?” She hung her head, shaking it slowly, “Wyatt, I love you, but you can be so stupid sometimes.” I put my hand to my chest in mock sadness, “I am deeply offended,” I paused as she lifted her head and quirked a brow at me, “I just want to make sure I’m not robbing yo
Choosing her heart Necessary talk
“I will talk to Kiera. Parker is going to have to work through this on his own. He’s had issues with Wyatt for a while now and I’m not sure that’s ever going to end,” my voice lowered as I muttered, "Especially now."We left Kai’s office, heading home for the night. I knew the air in the house was going to be thick. The way Parker has been acting was out of line. Part of me wonders if he didn’t even try to heal Wyatt when he was in the hospital, but the other part of me knows the man that I'd fallen in love with all those years ago would never rob Wyatt of a chance to live. If for nothing other than me. I hated thinking that way, but something is going on with him and I’m not sure how to fix it. When we walked through the front door, I could hear Kiera and Parker arguing from their room. Hushed whispers sounded angry between the both of them. Sighing, I walked through the house and banged on the door. No need to waste any time when Wyatt’s life was on the line. Again. Parke
Choosing her heart Water under the bridge
Parker squeezed my hand, turning towards me, “You’re right, I’m sorry. It wouldn’t be fair to her to continue holding a grudge over Wyatt for things that are entirely out of his control. Thank you for being the level-headed one,” he shook his head with a smile."What?" Parker chuckled, "I just never thought I'd say that." I smiled, “Whenever you need me, I’m here. We may not be mates any longer, but we will always be family,” I narrowed my eyes, "But I've always been the level headed one between you and I." Parker sat up abruptly, letting go of my hand, and looking out over the water. His eyes glanced down at his hands before returning to the expanse of water. I was confused, but sat up next to him, listening to the gentle roll of the waves. “Is it weird, for you?” he asked, turning his head towards me and breaking the silence. “Is what weird?” “You and I...” he whispered. His hazel eyes glittered beneath the sunlight as they roamed over my features. “I wouldn’t say
Choosing her heart Meant to be
I watched from the kitchen as Wyatt played with Helena in the living room. I don’t think my heart will ever get used to the feeling of seeing them together. She was stumbling around in what I would call a “baby” run while Wyatt crawled around on his knees, chasing after her. Her giggles and laughing screams filled the room. I glanced up at the clock, my stomach twisting painfully. In an hour, we would be meeting with the Elders, and they had decided to bring the head of the Vampire council here with them to discuss Wyatt’s fate moving forward. It had taken almost six months for them to coordinate a time for both to be present here in Twilight Woods. Not only will Wyatt's Beta position be up for discussion, but his murder of Vincent. And the vampire must decide whether or not he should be punished for killing a sire. I was so fixated by the slow ticking of the clock, that I was nearly knocked down when Helena launched herself onto my legs in an attempt to escape the “Daddy

Choosing her heart Chose my heart(THE END)
The night was finally here and the room was full. People from all walks of life sat at small round tables together. “You look beautiful,” Wyatt whispered in my ear. I decided to wear an all-black sun dress and just enough eye makeup to accentuate my eyes. We opted to keep things fairly casual for the evening. That way, there was no pressure on our new members. Many came here with next to nothing, and didn't want a free handout. Wyatt’s father was sitting at a table chatting with a beautiful vampire. He had a broad smile and she was laughing at whatever it was he was saying. He held Dex in his arms and kept glancing down at him while speaking with the woman.“I think that your father might be smitten.”Wyatt followed my gaze, “Oh yeah, he’s in trouble. Or maybe she’s in trouble.”Kiera joined us, “There are far more people here than I thought,” she whispered, nervously wringing her hands. “You have nothing to worry about. You’re a natural.”She took one final deep breath before taki
Choosing her heart Preparing
“Do we have all of the food prepared for the evening?” Two of the kitchen staff stood before me with clipboards. We were going over everything needed for our welcoming party. We had an overwhelming response once we began sending out invitations for the Safe Haven. At first, it was like a shockwave to the supernatural community. Unheard of in a way. A lot of packs returned our letter, accusing us of trying to steal their members. Some packs asked to come in and see what it was exactly that we were working so diligently on. We had five Alpha’s meeting Kai in total confusion on why we would welcome those of different supernatural races into our pack. ‘Werewolves are supposed to run packs for werewolves!’ they’d say. But in the end, they weren’t why we were making the program anyways and we held no room for their outdated ways. Once we had a few wolves show up, it was like the domino effect. It quickly became apparent that we were not prepared for the task ahead of us. “I believe so
Choosing her heart Excitement(Wyatt POV)
I’ve been trembling with excitement since we arrived. Felicity was sitting on a small bed with a towel on her lap, fidgeting her fingers since the nurse brought us in here. They’d taken a small vile of her blood and we were patiently waiting for the ultrasound tech to come and start looking at our pup. “I hope they hurry up. I’m going to burst here in a moment.”Felicity giggled, leaning down and capturing my lips in a sloppy kiss. A soft knock at the door had her pulling away and in came a young nurse. “Are you two ready to see your fledgling?” she asked with a warm smile. I’ve been calling my pup a kin, or pup, but the correct term is fledgling. The more you know...Felicity leaned back on the table as the nurse squirted jelly on her exposed belly. I grasped Felicity’s hand, squeezing it tightly. My eyes never left the little screen as she placed the wand into the sticky substance. A wiggly bean appeared on the screen causing my eyes to instantly well with tears. That little t
Choosing her heart Full circle
I decided to walk back home slowly, thinking about everything that had happened. I don’t want to believe that Parker is still in love with me. The thought makes me feel dirtied, like I'm betraying Kiera. She deserves his whole heart just as I've given mine to Wyatt.‘Can I come to you?’ Wyatt’s voice floated in my head.‘Sure, I’m walking home from the lake.’Less than thirty seconds later, Wyatt appeared in front of me. I could feel his guilt as he stood there wringing his hands.Closing the distance between us, I wrapped my arms tightly around his body and angled my face to look up at him. “Are you okay?”His arms snaked around my back, pulling me flush to him. One hand rested on the back of my head and the other squeezed my midsection. His chin rested against my hair, “I feel awful for how I acted earlier. Kiera didn’t deserve that."“I’m sure she will forgive you.”His head fell onto my shoulder, “Did you talk with Parker?”“I did.”He pulled away from me, “That’s all I get?”I s
Choosing her heart Ash(Parker POV)
She nodded and he leaned forward, crashing our lips into hers. His hands went into her hair, gripping it tightly. He pulled her closer to us, snaking a hand behind her back. The sparks from their contact were electrifying. ‘You taste like heaven,’ he growled, ‘Better than heaven.’ I typically wouldn’t have given Ash full control but I felt like they needed this moment. She climbed onto his lap and from where I was in his mind, it was like watching a show. Almost like seeing my mate with myself but from the outside, which was an interesting twist. He gripped her sides, positioning her directly on his lap. She leaned forward, capturing his lips in a dominant kiss. He plunged our tongue deep in her mouth and she let out a muffled moan. ‘Will you let me explore you, Kiera? I want to show you just how much you mean to me.’ “Please,” she moaned out. He stood, her legs wrapped around our middle and he carried her to the room. ‘Don’t be too rough,’ I warned. ‘Go away,’
Choosing her heart Cut the strings that hold me back(Parker POV)
As we ran through the thick foliage, Felicity’s voice was on repeat in my mind. I needed to forgive myself. Let go of the need for control. How does one do that when it is the only thing that they know? ‘The Goddess made Kiera for us. She doesn’t make mistakes,’ Ash muttered. That was only one piece to my puzzle. How do I forgive myself for not being there when my parents needed me? When Felicity needed me? When..... I needed me? Ash followed Kiera’s scent back to our house and I silently thanked the goddess that she still came home after I had embarrassed her today. He shifted, giving me control. I quickly threw on a pair of shorts and rushed inside. Kiera was sitting on the couch with a packed suitcase. The sight broke my heart. “Are.... are you leaving?” Her gaze met mine and I saw her puffy, bloodshot eyes. She probably hasn’t quit crying since I left the pack house. The thought that I caused that was a suckerpunch to the gut.“I think that would be what’s bes
Choosing her heart Choices
I found Parker sitting by the same lake that I’d taken him to the first time we talked after he came home. The whole run over here, I tried to think of what I was going to say, but in all honesty, the shock hadn’t worn off. There was never a moment where I would have considered Parker still harboring such deep feelings for me. The air coming off of the lake was bitter, even for myself. I walked over, sitting down next to him on the embankment. We sat in silence for what felt like forever before Parker spoke up, “I come here sometimes to think. It’s peaceful,” he chuckled sadly, "Just like you'd said before. Who would of thought you were always right?"I smiled, looking over the dark expanse of water, “It’s my favorite place within the pack lands.” “Why did you come to find me?” he questioned, sparing me a sideways glance. “It sounds like we need to talk,” I whispered. Part of me still didn’t know how to approach this situation. I didn’t want to hurt Parker. That was never
Choosing her heart Sick joke
When I heard all of the crashing coming from down the hall, I never imagined we’d be walking in on this. Parker being held back by Kai. Wyatt was leaned against the wall spitting blood. Wyatt shook his head with a smirk, his eyebrows raised, “Are you really going to make me tell her?” “Fill me in here. What is going on?” Wyatt chuckled, looking directly at Parker, “He’s still in love with you and is pissed that you turned.” A snort escaped his throat as he spit blood again, swiping the drips that had slid down from his nose, "What a fucking joke."My gaze fell on Parker and he looked absolutely devastated. I thought that we had been through this. We talked by the lake. He had given me a small ounce of doubt, but I was under the impression that we had worked through it. “Is this some kind of joke?” Kiera whispered. Tears filled her bright green eyes as she stared at Parker waiting for him to contradict what Wyatt was saying. I could hear her heart rate increase. She was hol
Choosing her heart Don't know how what to feel (Parker POV)
I slammed my fist into the opposite wall, “What’s my problem?" I seethed, "I don’t know, Wyatt. Ever since you walked into Felicity’s life, you have fucked things up.” He looked at me, a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion in his features, “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” “You destroyed my relationship with Felicity. We were mates, that was supposed to be sacred, but you used your mate bond to destroy what we had. You play daddy to my daughter," I slammed my finger into my chest feeling the emotions inside tryng to explode, "You continuously put my family in danger. Time and time again. You’re not even a werewolf anymore for Goddess' sake and now... now you’ve managed to turn Felicity. You stole her identity. She was perfect. A beautiful she-wolf and now she’s a filthy bloodsucker.... just like you.” Kai’s eyes were wide when I finished my rant but Wyatt just stood there, smirking. “Are you still in love with Felicity?” was the only thing that came out of his mouth.
