Choosing her heart Officially a dad(PARKER POV)
I ran towards Felicity’s room as fast as I could, everything around me blurring with my speed. I didn’t bother waiting for Dr. Jess. I just needed to see her beautiful blue eyes. Pain tore through my heart as memories of her giving birth flooded my head. I haven't seen her eyes in what feels like a lifetime, and there was a chance I never would again.As soon as I burst through the door to her room, she glanced up at me, holding a small pink bundle. Tears blurred my vision when I saw her eyes. They were red and puffy from crying, but her face held the happiest smile. “She’s perfect,” Felicity choked out a sob, glacing down at our pup before returning her watery gaze to mine. I slowly walked over to them, peeking at Helena wrapped up like a little burrito. She truly was perfect. I sat down on the edge of Felicity’s bed. The tears I had been holding back flowed freely. “You are an amazing woman, Felicity,” I choked out, "I've never met anyone as strong as you are."She leaned

I’m in awe that I’m officially a mom. I carried a pup for five months, but none of that prepares you for the real thing. It’s been twenty-four hours and I am just in love. I'm not sure you truly understand the term 'Love at first sight' until you give birth. I don’t remember much of what happened after getting to the hospital. Parker tries to talk about it, but gets so choked up, I haven’t asked him again. It almost feels as if time warped. I was laid down on the operating table and then I woke up to the sound of Helena cooing in the tiny bassinet next to my bed. He’s been absolutely amazing since she was born. I haven’t had to change a single diaper and if I wasn’t breast-feeding, I’m sure he would be giving her bottles any time she’s hungry. He’s been hands on since the moment he walked in. I heard Helena stirring, so I pulled her little bassinet closer to the bed. She was suckling on the air, so I knew it was time to feed her. Scooping her up, I placed her close to my chest an

“What are you thinking?” I asked, feeling incredibly stressed at the moment. There has been so much going on that I haven't felt like I could take a moment to breathe. I could see the wheels turning in her head. “What if we give him a chance? He gives us the information we need and we help him in return. He can continue playing the part, feeding Elenore the information that she needs to move forward, but we come prepared when she plans to attack.” I was shocked by her plan, going over what she said on repeat in my head. It could work. My mind flashed back to what Wyatt said in the hospital. Felicity saw me die in her dream. A dull ache filled my chest as I realize how she'd kept that information to herself. “Why didn’t you tell me that you saw me die in your dream?” I watched guilt wash over Felicity. She looked down, wringing her hands, “You didn’t die the first time. I only saw you get shot by the arrow,” She slowly raised her eyes to meet mine, pausing and taking a deep bre

I took a deep breath before opening the door to the interrogation room, forcing my emotions away. ‘You’ve got this, Felicity. You killed it last time,' Wyatt's voice floated in my head. Lifting my hand to my lips as they curled in a hidden smile. I could picture him smiling while saying it with a wink. His confidence in me since the beginning pushes me through the door and in front of Tobias. He looks up, surprised to see me standing in front of him. “We’re going to forgo formalities today. You know who I am and I know who you are,” I pause for a moment, taking a deep breath and steadying my racing heart, “I’m going to give you two options. If I leave this room and you haven’t made a choice, the first option goes with me.” I pause again, waiting on a reaction, but Tobias remains stoic with his eyes locked on mine. “You are either going to tell us what you know and work with us or you will spend the rest of your living days chained in our dungeon.” I studied his face, watching
Last Updated : 2024-01-12Choosing her heart So many questions(WYATT POV)
Fuck my life. For real. I was so close. So fucking close to pulling her into me, and kissing her just now. Touching her lips alone sent my mind into a goddamned frenzy. Dex was urging me to just go for it. My damned other half was basically salivating at the thought. When she leaned into my touch, I could feel her heart skip a beat. I heard her breath hitch. It took every ounce of strength I had to hold Dex back from pushing forward and taking control. He would have crossed a line we weren't ready for.Watching her in the interrogation room again caused a chain reaction. I actually got turned on by seeing her fight so hard in there. When she came out and I was hit by her intoxicating strawberry and vanilla scent, I couldn’t stay away. It’s like my legs had a brain of their own and gravitated closer to her. I can tell that I have an effect on her too. I feel it. Smell it. See it. I’m becoming addicted to her. She’s like a drug and I can’t get enough. I don’t want to fight the bo
Last Updated : 2024-01-14Choosing her heart A set-up(PARKER POV)
I’m standing at the training grounds waiting for the remainder of our warriors to arrive. Tonight has been one thing after another and I’m ready for my life to calm down a little. My nerves feel like they have been short-circuted. I've never felt like this in my life. Everything I've done so far has felt right, but tonight; everything feels off. After a quick headcount, it looks like everyone is present. “Good evening, thank you all for joining me on such short notice. An attack has been made on Silver Crest. They have requested aid from us immediately and, as an ally, we will fight with them. We leave immediately. Be aware that there is a threat along the outside of our southern border and we must avoid that area on our way to Silver Crest. Let’s go!” Wolves around me roared to life, shifting quickly and preparing to head out. Kai was by my side in an instant, and Wyatt to his right. ‘Are you ready?’ Kai asked through link. Normally, we would howl to signal heading out, bu
Last Updated : 2024-01-15Choosing her heart Path of destruction
Once Cami and I thought about the timing of Wyatt finding the humans and the attack on Silver Crest, I had to find them. Alarm bells were screaming in my head telling me that it was a trap.This could be the moment that everything changed. I wasn’t going to allow them to take Parker. Not like this. I shifted, giving Iris control. I was worried because it’s been so long since we’d shifted due to the pregnancy, but it ended up being a smooth transition. We ran, paws thudding against the Earth, and following the path straight to Silver Crest. I quickly caught Parker and Wyatt’s scent mixed with blood and rot. ‘Rouges,’ Iris growled, baring her teeth.I could see Parker helping Wyatt up ahead. He had an arrow sticking out of his right hip. There was no hesitation as we rushed to his opposite side, getting him to safety. We were feeling so torn at that moment, Iris whining quietly. Our mate was still in danger, but Wyatt, he needed us. I knew if the bond was there for him, we coul
Last Updated : 2024-01-16Choosing her heart Flipped upside down
“Can you say that again, but a little louder?” Wyatt croaked, my eyes snapping to his face. My heart skipped a beat hearing his voice. My lungs felt like the air had been sucked out of them and I couldn’t speak. I stared at his face and he gave me a lopsided grin, squeezing my hand. I laughed through my tears. He reached up slowly, wiping the tears from my face with his thumb. I leaned into his hand, still staring at his perfect blue-grey eyes. I stayed there, staring into his eyes, and enjoying the feeling of the bond for what felt like a lifetime. “You really scared us,” I tried to speak, but it came out as a hoarse whisper. He laughed, but winced in pain, one hand gripping his side while the other lifted the blanket covering his lower half, “I’m not sure I can move my legs.” I watched him focus on his toes, and then his legs, but nothing was moving. “Cami mentioned that the arrows were poisoned with some form of paralytic. They’re testing it now to find out the compo

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.
