Choosing her heart Blue Lake(PARKER POV)
I watched as Felicity’s figure disappeared into the Earth. My heart ached the further the plane ascended into the air. We had an amazing night, but this trip will be the longest we’ve spent apart since meeting. Even in the beginning, it was if there was a magnet pulling us together. After we made love last night, I stayed awake watching her sleep. It’s been a while since I’ve struggled to sleep while holding her. I memorized every feature on her face. The light freckles that dotted her cheeks. Her beautiful, long lashes. The slight roundness to the tip of her nose. I listened to the sound of her breathing, watching her chest rise and fall with each breath. The wild curliness of her deep, auburn hair. I gently kissed her belly, letting Helena know that I would be back soon, and to take care of mommy while I was gone. Sometimes I had to remind myself to cherish her. I get so wrapped up in the idea of saving them, that I forget my mate needs me. “She on your mind?” Kai questioned,
Last Updated : 2023-12-01Choosing her heart The Plan(Unkown POV)
I’ve been keeping tabs on both Parker and Felicity for the last six months. She sent me here to reprogram the safe room and watch Felicity as her pregnancy progressed as well as keep a close eye on Parker. He's the one she wants. The moment she found out that he was still alive, it became an obsession to obtain him for the collection. She has a future teller already, so Felicity is just a bonus to her. Parker is the real goal. Healers are the most sought after blessed creature in the world. Their powers go beyond anything known by man. The thought of bringing a person back to life after death is the making of a good zombie horror movie, but not a reality that many know about. Parker's abilities are unrivaled, and Elenore knows what's at stake if she doesn't 'collect' him. I’m shocked at how little foot traffic comes through the woods just outside of Twilight Woods borders. I found a quaint deserted cabin in between two territories and have been staying here while I complete my
Last Updated : 2023-12-01Choosing her heart Nightmare
This is the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen, and it doesn’t even come close to your beauty. Sleep tight my love. I will be home soon. I felt tears stinging my eyes. Parker was so sweet. I looked at the picture that he sent me and I was in awe at how stunning the lake was. The moon lit up the lake, showing the expansive landscape around it. Even in the night, you could see the beautiful blue hue of the water. Maybe one day, we will be able to see it together. Tonight will be the first night I’ve spent away from Parker in a long time. In the beginning of our relationship, he did a lot of night shifts to earn his place with the warriors. Since I’ve been pregnant though, he’s spent every night with me, refusing to allow me to sleep alone. I stared at the picture that he sent me, imagining how much more beautiful it must look in person. You are the sweetest. Send me a picture in day light. I love you so much. I set my phone on the nightstand and tried to get comfortable. My gro
Last Updated : 2023-12-01Choosing her heart Breakfast(Parker POV)
Felicity’s fear woke me from a deep sleep. I could feel her pain and anguish through our bond. When I called her, she sounded broken, which pulled on my heartstrings. ‘Our mate needs us’ Ash whined in my head. I wished I could be there, holding her right now. I was kicking myself for leaving right now. Was the distance causing her nightmares? If I was home, I'd be able to soothe her with our bond. Instead, I'm stuck thousands of miles away. I pick my phone back up, sending a quick text Why don’t you spend the day with Cami? I will call and arrange a spa day so you two can relax. Love you so much. Try not to stress too much, it was only a nightmare. I set an alarm for nine am to call the spa and arrange for them both to have the total pregnancy package. I know at a certain point in the pregnancy, not all services are safe for the momma and pup. Something I read about in one of the books Cami insisted I read. She'd said I was an ignorant brute after a night out. My phone vibr
Last Updated : 2023-12-01Choosing her heart Confusion
“Oh my goddess girl, I needed this. Please thank Parker for setting this up,” Cami moaned as the woman giving her a massage kneaded her lower back. I have to say, I one hundred percent agreed. The woman that has been massaging my shoulders and neck is a miracle worker. Cami was still able to get full body massage where I was far to pregnant. “I am definitely not complaining. This feels amazing.” Cami turned her head towards me, “How are you feeling?” Large, swollen, tired, “Kind of all over the place. Ready to meet our pup. Afraid that I’m not going to be the mom she deserves. The last few days have been a little harder with Parker leaving.” She pouted her bottom lip, giving me a sad look. “Girl, I’m missing Kai so f*cking much. I can’t imagine being nearly five months pregnant and him leaving. I think I’d chain him in the dungeons, though a part of me thinks he might enjoy that,” she winked. That earned a laugh from everyone in the room. “Cami, I swear I hear way more tha
Last Updated : 2023-12-04Choosing her heart Fear(Parker POV)
After meeting with Alpha Stephen, I understood Kai’s dislike for the man. He had very little compassion for the situation and didn’t seem to be bothered at all by the fact that six of his own wolves have gone missing. He explained that they didn’t have very many leads, but that out of twelve hundred in his pack, six was a small percent of that. His attitude rubbed me the wrong way. I understood where Vincent got his ‘I’m better than everyone else’ personality. “What do you think of Alpha Stephen?” Kai asked with a scoff. I'm pretty sure he already knew the answer. I gave him the side eye, “Well. He's uhm, interesting. I don’t like his attitude about this whole situation. Something feels off. They way he just shrugged off the missing members just... doesn't feel right. An Alpha is supposed to consider every member of the pack important.” Kai nodded in agreement, “I feel ya on that one. I think there is more to the story. How is Felicity? Cami gushed about the spa day," he held u
Last Updated : 2023-12-05Choosing her heart In my head
How do I respond to her question when I have no idea myself what is happening? Cami leaned her head down and raised her brows, letting me know she was expecting an answer. “I don’t know.” I responded honestly. My mind was still reeling from whatever the heck just happened between Wyatt and I.“What do you mean you don’t know?!” She practically yelled, pinning me with her gaze. “Because I have no freaking idea what that was,” I yelled back, growing frustrated. She ran her hands over her face, “I’m sorry. I’m not trying to yell. I’m trying to process what I just witnessed. Are you and Wyatt having an affair?” I furrowed my brows in shock, “Absolutely not!" I panicked for a moment, "Is that what it looked like?” “I mean, yeah, kind of. Something was going on and Wyatt looked like he had seen a ghost when he hightailed out of here,” Cami rushed out, "You two kept stealing glances at each other. He was asking questions about whether or not you were okay when you ran to the bedroom.
Last Updated : 2023-12-06Choosing her heart Shopping
Wyatt picked us up from the house in one of Kai’s cars. As soon as we buckled in, He turned towards us and flashed a solid black card with a devilish grin. Cami snatched it from him quickly. I shook my head, stifling a giggle, “I think Kai might be in trouble today.” “Think? Uhm, he is most definitely going to feel this one. I've seen Cami's shopping sprees,” Wyatt quipped. Cami narrowed her eyes, “We deserve a leisurely day of no-limit shopping. I think as the Luna and Luna’s best friend/official teacher, we deserve it,” she said with her head held high, fluttering her eyelashes. “Official teacher. That's awesome. Congrats. I thought of being a teacher once, but I don't think all the moms could handle this,” Wyatt wagged his brows, glancing at me in the rear-view mirror. Our eyes locked for a moment before he turned his attention back to the road. "You shaping the mind of our youth? Please," Cami retorted with a snort."Hey now," he tapped his finger to his temple, "This bra

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.
