Choosing her heart Making plans
A huge smile spread across his face, “And I am madly, deeply, and unequivocally in love with you, Felicity Donovan.” He grabbed my hand, lacing our fingers together as we walked through the trees quietly. “So, what’s your favorite color?” he turned his head, studying me. “That’s a tough choice. Probably green. But not just a plain green, a deep, emerald green. I don’t think I’ve seen much of it in person, but there are forests with some of the most beautiful greens. What is yours?” “Noted. I know you’re probably going to think this is cliché, but blue, like the color of your eyes. You have this deeper blue on the outer parts, and then ocean-like blue specks throughout, creating the most interesting blue color I’ve ever seen,” he explained, running his hand through his hair and looking at the ground. I was left speechless at his attention to detail. “They sound so much more beautiful through your eyes.” He stopped turning towards me and tipping my chin to look up at hi
Choosing her heart Peaches and roses(PARKER POV)
I haven’t seen Elenore since she visited me after I woke up. A guard has delivered food three times a day for the last six days. Ryzen has become a fast friend in here, not that I can particularly speak to anyone else, but he seems like a good guy. From what he’s told me, he left his pack after his mate rejected him for being different. She was the Alpha’s daughter and not interested in a “freak”. He was a peaceful rogue for two years before Elenore found him. He was passing through the area and was stopped by warriors at Blue Lake before being captured and brought here. I found it incredibly suspicious that he was captured after passing near Blue Lake Territory. He told me that Elenore sometimes uses a female to lure her victims, which is what happened to him. Sitting in this room has been isolating. Outside of the occasional conversation with Ryzen, I’ve spent most of my time in my head, thinking about Felicity and Helena. My heart ached for them. I wanted to
Choosing her heart Lucky
“I missed you so much little peanut” Helena giggled as I peppered her face with kisses. I went straight from the plane to Alex and Morgan’s to pick her up. “I am never leaving you for that long again,” I whispered, planting one final kiss on her head. Looking at her, I feel like she doubled in size since I was away, even though it had only been for five days. Glancing around the house, I started to have a small freak out. There are far too many things that she could get in to. Helena will be crawling soon and I’m entirely unprepared. I scoop her up, taking her to the kitchen to make us some breakfast. Sitting her in her little seat, I grab out some yogurt and a banana. She opens and closes her hands, making noises while reaching for the banana. Watching her do something as simple as eating brings tears to my eyes. I think of how much Parker would have liked to be here to see her grow. Pulling out my phone, I snap a picture of her covered in food befor
Choosing her heart Daddy(Wyatt POV)
I’ve officially moved into Felicity’s house with her and Helena. The last few weeks have been total bliss. I didn’t think things between us could get better, but every day with those two is special. I’ve been slacking on my Beta duties and my father has been checking in the office every day for the past week. ‘You can’t ignore your duties just because you’re mated now,’ he’d say. I rolled my eyes thinking about it. I haven’t necessarily ignored them, just put them to the side for a little while. I know they are there waiting for me, which technically means that I'm not 'ignoring' them.“Nice to see you in the office, son,” my father said, closing the door behind him. “This might be your old office, but it would be nice if you knocked before just barging in here.” He rolled his eyes, “How is work coming?” He knows that the pack is pretty quiet. We don’t have many issues that need tended to and my duties as the head of accounting for our cover business are all taken ca
Choosing her heart Change everything(WYATT POV)
“The Luna’s heart rate is dropping; we need to get the baby out now!” a nurse yelled and chaos ensued. Doctors and nurses ran around the room shouting orders at each other. Kai looked like he was about to faint and Cami looked pale. “Cami, you've got this. You are the strongest person I know,” Felicity whispered, squeezing her hand gently. I could feel her despair through our bond. Cami was Felicity's best friend. She'd do anything to protect her.“Felicity, if it comes down to me or the baby, they save him, do you hear me?” Cami gritted her teeth through another wave of pain. Her eyes were bloodshot and she released a whimper as the pain subsided. “NO! THEY WILL SAVE YOU BOTH!” Kai roared, letting his Alpha aura out. Kai wasn't helping anyone, but I don't blame him. I acted out of line when Felicity and I weren't even a thing yet.... I can't imagine how it would be now. I grabbed onto his shoulders, shaking him, “You cannot act like that right now. Cami needs you calm. Take
Choosing her heart Figure this out together
“Cami, you've got this. A few more pushes and your beautiful pup will be out,” I whispered, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Looking at her, I was scared. She was pale. Too pale and her skin felt like fire beneath my cool rag. Kai was on the other side of her, trying to hold it together, but failing miserably. The room was suffocated with his anger and fear. She gripped my hand tightly. “Luna, we’re almost there. I need you to count to three and give us everything you’ve got,” Dr. Jess nodded at Cami. I watched Cami’s chest rise and fall three times before her grip on my hand tightened. A few moments later, I heard the most beautiful sound. The cry of our future Alpha. “You did it baby girl,” Kai whispered, kissing the top of her head. She lolled her head to the side, smiling and leaning into his touch. A single tear slid down her flush cheek, "We did it."I felt my eyes well with tears. My best friend just gave birth to a perfect baby boy. “Alpha, have
Choosing her heart Games(Parker POV)
It’s been eleven days since the tracker was implanted into my neck. The wound healed after the first day but it’s left a dull ache in my neck ever since. Ry told me he’s had his for months and it continues to cause him pain daily. Ash has been restless being so close to Kiera, yet so far. We’ve watched her being taken out twice; the last time she hasn’t returned from. On her walk down the hall, she glanced over at me and the fear in her eyes made me murderous.Elenore was using her for something that she wasn’t comfortable with and not knowing was eating away at my brain. We didn’t know each other, and I wasn’t entirely sure I was even interested in accepting her as my mate, but the beast in me craved her attention. We were hungry to learn more about her. I’ve healed two of Elenore’s clients. I was forced to dress up as a doctor for the child. I was instructed that at any point if I alluded to what I was, I would be punished greatly. The little girl was so sweet a
Choosing her heart Pull it off
My legs pace back and forth on instinct. My mind reminds me that I've been here before and how that turned out. Looking through the one-way glass, I could see Tobias sitting at the table. His wounds have nearly healed, as it’s taken me almost a week to gain the courage to bring him here to talk. “Baby," Wyatt grabbed my shoulders gently stopping my pacing, "You can do this. He is going to piss his pants when he sees you again. He knew when he came here what that meant." I took a deep breath, “I know I can go in there and act tough. But I’m not sure if I’m ready.” That was an understatement. How do you prepare yourself to face the man that led your mate to his death? The man who stole a father from a child. The man who turned my entire world upside down twice now. Wyatt frowned, “Do you want me to go with you?” I shook my head, “I’ve got to do this on my own. I need to make sure he’s telling the truth. I will call out to you if I need anything.” He pulled me towards him

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.
