Choosing her heart Goodbye
Parker just arrived back home and everything feels different with him. It’s like we’re strangers. He came straight in and scooped Helena up, not saying a word to me. His coldness towards me is tearing my resolve down, not that I don’t deserve it. “Can we talk?” he finally looked over towards me. I nodded and followed him out on our patio. He placed Lena down in her playpen and sat next to me on our lounger chairs. The momentary silence was peaceful. Hearing the birds chirping and the wind blowing calmed my growing nerves. “How are you holding up?” he questioned, looking towards me with a sad smile. I was slightly taken aback, expecting an entirely different start to this conversation. The fact that he was still worried about me made the guilt feel even worse. “I’m doing okay. Feeling a little lighter after a visit from Alex.” He tilted his head, offering a warmer smile, “That’s really good to hear.” This conversation wasn’t going the way that I expected at all. I
Choosing her heart My fault
I dropped Helena off with Cami before heading to the training grounds. Everyone was preparing to head out to their positions. My nerves were all over the place. I couldn’t help the feeling of dread that had settled in the pit of my stomach. As the hours passed since the meeting, it grew like a poison throughout my body. Infecting every inch of me until it all balled up as one in my stomach, making me feel sick. Bile burned my throat as a result, but I forced it down.I smelled him before I saw him, feeling a hand reach out, grabbing me and pulling me into a room down the hall. Sparks exploded on my arm where his rough hands touched the skin on my arm. “Felicity, are you sure you want to do this?” Wyatt questioned; worry etched in his features. “I have to. For my family. For Parker.” Sadness washed over him before he quickly masked it. “I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to you,” he whispered, reaching up and tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. Aga
Choosing her heart The bond(Wyatt POV)
Felicity left me in a daze. She always did. Her touch was like ecstasy. I get a taste, and I want so much more. And finally, I felt her lips against mine. Every longing look, every dream, every touch; none of them could have prepared me for the real thing. I could have gotten drunk on her taste. The mate bond really messes with your head. When she walked into the building earlier, I sensed her immediately. It was hard to hold Dex back when we were in the office together. Her scent filled Kai’s office, making it hard to focus. But I haven’t been able to shake the feeling of dread since Felicity left on her mission. I’ve seen her fight. I have no doubt that she is going to kick some ass, but anything could happen out there. These people clearly don’t fight fair, hence my still paralyzed leg.‘Our mate is a fighter,’ Dex growled. I rolled my eyes. ‘That doesn’t mean I can’t worry...’ I’m pissed that my leg still isn’t working properly. The doctors said it should have w
Choosing her heart Hopeful
It’s been six days, nine hours, and thirty-seven minutes since Parker left us. Not that I’m counting or anything. They say that time heals the soul, but I feel more broken with each passing minute. Every second awake is excruciating. Even sleep doesn’t bring me solace any longer. My nights are plagued with nightmares. I feel the nightmares as if they are reality. Even more so than the ones where I see the future. His touch, his voice, his love, it all feels.... so real. Last night, I dreamt that Parker was still alive, that he had just gotten lost on his way back. He came home, busting through the front door covered in blood and dirt. I leaped into his arms, sobbing happy tears that he was actually here. I held him, kissed him, ran my hands through his grimy hair. None of those things mattered because he was in my arms. When I woke up, it felt like someone had gutted me. Honestly, every morning feels the same. I wake up, hoping, praying that my reality is in fact, just
Choosing her heart Hiccups(Elenore POV)
Tobias had better not fail me this time. His life and his sweet Emmalynn’s rely on his performance tonight. If he succeeds, I will make sure that he is rewarded greatly. If he doesn’t, well, I’ve not yet decided what I will do, but I can guarantee that it won’t be pleasant for either of them. I’ve sent my men to their positions near Tobias’ cabin. They are each equipped with a camera on their vests so that I can watch everything that happens tonight. The action always gets me excited. As I prepare to head out, my phone blares at the desk I have in my hotel room. I glance at the caller ID, internally groaning. Of course Abraham would be calling right now. “Abe, to what do I owe the pleasure?” I gritted out. This man was starting to become a pain in my ass. I’d kill him if it were that simple, but our ties run too deep. They’d suspect me in a heartbeat. Hell, the man probably has a note that says 'If I end up dead, Elenore is responsible.' “Elenore dear, I thoug
Choosing her heart Choose her everyday(WYATT POV)
It’s been three days. Three excruciatingly long days since I left Felicity. She asked me for time, so that is what I plan to give her. Even if it kills me.Dex on the other hand, has had a hard time respecting her wishes. His desire to be with her, to meet her wolf properly, to push the mating process, have all been clouding his judgement. The constant battle to keep him contained is exhausting. As hard as all of this is for me, I can’t imagine what she’s going through right now. Especially since we have yet to find any trace of Parker’s body. It's as if he vanished completely. We followed his scent to the edge of the forest and then it just disappears.She can’t even give him a proper burial and I know she needs closure to move forward. We’ve had scouts searching the entire forest. Scouring every corner, making sure he didn’t make it somewhere to hide, but every attempt to find him or his body has come up empty. “Do we have any information on Tobias’ whereabouts?” I que
Choosing her heart Suffocating in embarrassment
As I boarded the jet heading for Blue Lake, I hesitated. This will be the longest I’ve been away from Helena since she was born. I turned around, running back to where Alex and Morgan stood with Helena. “I don’t know if I can leave her,” I whispered through a fresh set of tears. “Felicity, you have nothing to worry about. She’s a tough cookie and you need to get answers.... You need closure to feel whole again,” Morgan smiled, her voice turning to a whisper. Alex pulled me in for a tight hug, “I will call and text every day with updates.” I nodded, moving over to give Helena one final kiss on her forehead. “Mommy will be back soon. I love you. Don’t grow up too much while I’m gone.” I jogged back over to the plane, where everyone else had already boarded, and climbed inside, taking a seat next to Wyatt. ‘You okay?’ Wyatt asked through link. ‘Not really. Nervous about leaving her.’ He laced his fingers through mine, rubbing his thumb up and down my hand, the spa
Choosing her heart MY mate
“Welcome back,” a beautiful, brown haired she-wolf greeted us. “Maleigha, nice to see you as always,” Kai smiled, nodding at her. “Cami, it’s nice to officially meet you. I’ve heard great things,” Maleigha beamed, shaking Cami’s hand. “Wyatt, looking great as always,” she winked and I felt a pang of jealousy seeing the way she looked at him. “You must be Felicity. I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Parker briefly, but he seemed like a really great guy and it was clear he loved you so much,” she explained, pulling me in for a tight hug. “Vincent sends his regards. He’s in a meeting currently and will see you all in the dining hall for dinner. If you’ll follow me, we will head to the pack,” Maleigha smiled. The four of us followed her to a large black Suburban, climbing inside the back. “Any luck on finding your mate?” Kai asked Maleigha. She stuck her lip out in a pout, “Unfortunately not. Still single and having a good time until I meet him,” Maleigha smirked

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.
