“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 But in the end, they weren’t why we were making the program anyways and we held no room for their outdated ways.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
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
UNKOWN POV“I did as you asked. I found the safe room and programmed it to open at your discretion. I’ll continue to report back on their whereabouts.” I got no response, just the click of the phone call ending. I hated that woman with a passion, but there was nothing I could do to change my current situation. She’d kidnapped my mate and forced me into submission. That’s the beauty of choosing your heart. Sometimes your heart lives outside of your body. And when the worst kind of human being gets a whiff of that; They’ll exploit it in any way possible. If I do as she says, no harm comes to my love. The woman is sick. The people who work with her are sick. Humans in general are sick. If it weren’t for my mate, I would have ended my life a long time ago. My "boss", if you could call her that, was a human. She used creatures with special powers for monetary gain, creating some half-assed version of a circus-jail. I'm able to shape shift into different animals, as well as con
FELICITY POV “Ugh, how in the world am I supposed to concentrate with your pup kicking me every chance she gets?” I yelled, loudly enough for Parker to hear from the kitchen.Looking down at my very swollen belly, I sigh. It’s exhausting being pregnant, but it’s almost over. I’m currently in my fourth month with only one more to go. I hear footsteps and Parker pops his head into the crack in the doorway.“She’s probably just hungry. If she’s anything like her dad, she is kicking because she can hear the sizzling of the bacon I’m cooking.” Parker said, giving me a wink before disappearing down the hallway. Life for Parker and I has been great since we accepted becoming chosen mates. I heard his footsteps heading back towards the kitchen. I rubbed a hand over my round belly. “Is that all it is? You just want some bacon?” I asked my belly, feeling silly for asking questions to our unborn pup.On cue, my stomach rumbled, receiving another swift kick from little Lena. “That answers my q
I couldn’t stop thinking about Felicity’s fears during training today. I hate to admit it, but I fear the same things and seeing her distraught over them creates a festering anger in my chest. It doesn’t matter how much training you've got; someone might have more. They might be smarter, faster, better than you, but I refuse to be unprepared. I've dedicated the last few months to training long hours. Myself and my warriors. The information that we have currently is extremely limited and I think that is the scariest part. We don’t know where they are hiding. We don’t know if they are using our kind against us; we know virtually nothing.How am I supposed to protect my family, my fellow wolves, even myself without more to go off of? It's frustrating and the only thing that seems to take the edge off is training. I am thankful to be supervising a group of really amazing warriors. While this issue doesn’t apply to them directly, they train just as hard. They are willing to fight with u
“Finally!” I huffed, shouting into my empty room.My paper was finished, I’d proofread it, and submitted it to my professor. If they are happy with the contents, I will be moving forward to take my exam. Then, I will officially be a teacher.I did a little happy dance, or happy wiggle, since I was sitting in the bed.Closing my laptop, I slowly climbed out of bed in desperate need of using the restroom. On my way down the hall, a swift kick to my bladder caused a warm liquid to stream down my legs. I leaned forward slightly, looking over my belly at the puddle slowly forming on the floor.I closed my eyes, slumping my shoulders. “Seriously? Girl, I was almost there. You couldn’t have waited to kick me?!” I muttered under my breath. This earned me another kick.Audibly sighing and running my hands over my face, I carefully stepped around the puddle and headed to the bathroom to grab a towel and some cleaning supplies.'This is embarrassing. I take no responsibility for you wetting your
“So, our allied packs have about nine special wolves?” I asked, shocked by the number.Kai nodded “Yes, between the five packs, they know of nine. During our meeting, we invited all nine to meet with us. Four of them were from one family. They were very cooperative and helped us with a lot of information.”Nine other wolves just in our allied packs. I never expected that. “Did we learn the abilities they possess?”Kai nodded again. “The four from the same family all of telekinetic powers. They are able to move objects with their mind. Two of the remaining five have mind reading powers. Three chose not to discuss their abilities with us out of fear.”Wow. Telekinesis and mind reading. That’s amazing.Beta Wyatt spoke up “I was just as speechless. You were a shock, but now that we know of all these other special abilities, it’s no wonder they’re hunting us.”Kai scoffed at his Beta, “Seriously, Wyatt?”He gave me an apologetic look. I just nodded, my lips forming a thin line and returni
Parker left early this morning to meet with Kai. He didn’t say what it was about, but I presume it has something to do with Blue Lake. Reaching over, I grab my laptop from the end table. My nerves have been going haywire ever since I submitted my assignment. After logging in, I notice that I have a message from the teacher.“I got a perfect score on my paper!” I squeal. I can’t wait to tell Parker. I put a lot of thought into my writing. They loved everything that I came up with about the struggles of our young wolves in today’s society. I felt like the research really opened my eyes and I plan on applying what I’ve learned in the classroom. Now, if I can pass my exams, I will officially be a teacher!I look down at my round belly, rubbing gently while I speak, “Today’s going to be a good day, little peanut. I just know it,” I feel her flutter around in my stomach, surely doing little somersaults.'She’s almost ready to come out, I can sense it,' Iris whispers.I smile. I can’t wait t
