ADDISON COBBLERS POV"I need tonight to run smoothly," I gave the event planner s subtle reminder, "A lot will happen if there's a slight hiccup tonight." "I completely understand, ma'am!" The gruff tone of Mr. Wallen the event planner came through and with that, the line went dead. This was everything and more that I could ever dream of. Throwing Jace a surprise party one he would always remember. The drinks, lights, guest list, and of course his gigantic birthday cake were all I lived for. All I looked forward to. I stifled a yawn and swung out of bed straight away to the bathroom to get ready for the day. It took me about three weeks to prep for this day, to snug out of a few pounds so I could fit into my dress, skin perfectly tanned and hair bleached to perfection. This was going to be the day Jace would fall in love with me all over again. This reminded me of the day he took me to prom. All the anxieties, the glam team, and of course lots of flowers and lovely comments on my
ADDISON COBBLER'S POV "I am on my way to your home!" Paula squawked when she finally answered her call, we were two streets away from her apartment. The chauffeur has to turn around at the next intersection returning to my home. Paula had the right ideas to give me on my outfits. I didn't make up my mind on the outfit to go for especially the mask to use. I wanted something enthralling, something that would make Jace eat his heart out. Just as usual, I needed something that would snag attention my way and make me the center of not just Jace's world but the entire pack tonight. This surprise birthday bash for the alpha that the entire Lycan Territories would stream. A bash worthy of blog posts and envy of other men. Jace was yet to realize just how far I could go for him. The event planners had better not mess this up. Paula lied she was on her way here, thirty more minutes back she she was yet to arrive. To think she'd grown a little secretive lately. Was she seeing someone? Was
LITTLE WILD HEARTADDISON COBBLER'S POV It was too early to sob. The black swan mask I had on for the masquerade party I threw for Jace concealed my anxiety and tears. Jace didn't show up. Forty minutes into the party the object of my affection wasn't there. "Call him again!" I snapped at Nate, my irritation revealing I had zero tolerance for anything that second. "If he doesn't show up, you're going to make refunds until the last cent of the money I spent on this bash!" "Addie!" Ophelia chided gently. Nate stuffed his hands into the pockets of his pants, nodded, and excused himself to make the hundredth phone call. "You shouldn't talk to him that way!" Ophelia pressed behind the Minnie Mouse mask. "Shut the hell up!" I snapped and stomped away. I returned to the grand hall where more than a hundred guests were gathered, masks on their faces and champagne flutes being carried around by the stewards. The event planners delivered their part. The stylists, everyone else met their
CARLY WOODS POVThe steady sound of a heartbeat against my ear and the slow strokes of a large hand caressing the softness of my brunette hair pulled me back from the peaceful sleep I was in. I was still very tired and sore from the early birthday sex Jace and I were entangled in.That man had one hell of a stamina. He took me to different clouds of ecstasy and bliss. I was completely spent and worn out before Jace pulled me into his rock-hard chest and wrapped his strong masculine arms around my waist.Too tired to get up, I pushed more into his hard chest, rubbing my face on his chest like a kid, a light groan escaping my throat.Jace let out a chuckle, pulling me closer to place a kiss on my head."Look who finally decided to wake up.""Yeah, if you were in my place after,- umm, you know, um, yeah. So you'll equally be tired." I stumbled over my words heat taking my tired face that I hid in his neck, my arms thrown over his neck.Jace lets out a laugh, "After what my dear?" His tea
CARLY WOODS POV"Hey Carly, look at me, you'll be fine okay." I heard Jace's frantic voice as he pulled me out of the backseat of his car before rushing towards the entrance of the pack hospital where some nurses and a doctor were waiting.Ian was in the driver's seat while Mia took the passenger seat with tears streaming down her face.My hands grasp around my neck and chest as I whizzed out not able to come up with anything.The nurses rushed to us with a wheelchair as a doctor I wasn't familiar with tried taking me from Jace's strong arms that held me securely to his chest.Jace growled at him before carefully placing me in the wheelchair, "Baby, you'll be fine okay? I'll be here throughout." The desperation and pure fear in his stormy green eyes tugged on my heartstrings.More tears streamed down my face at how broken and lost he looked when he placed a kiss on my head, his hand gripping the back of my head. Was it just because of his unborn child or if somewhere in his heart, h
CARLY WOODS POV"What? It's the truth, Carly, you're nothing but a slut, a home wrecker. Our life was wonderful and the best until you sauntered your way into it, wreaking havoc in your wake."Something must have transpired between her and Jace outside the party that made her so mad that the rim of her eyes was beginning to turn a deep shade of red.I didn't care about her nor about who got her panties on a twist. "Where'd you get that from?" I queried, my voice was impossibly low, eyes fixed solely on the all too familiar object in her hand. Whatever she had to say wasn't making any sense to me.Addison noticed what was worthy of my scrutiny, looking down at her hand she held up the item of my interest to her face, a smirk on her face."You mean this?" And that was the brown leather watch I'd gifted Jace for his birthday.Now broken by a single strap.Did Jace give it to her? If he didn't like it he would've just said so instead of giving it to Addison to help him dispose.My heart
JACE BALDWIN POV"Alpha."It's been more than an hour since Carly was rushed into the emergency room. It's been an hour since I waited out here for the door to open back and reveal my little Omega.I'd done my fair share of imprinting my footprints on the hallway after pacing the floor until Ian complained about my actions making him dizzy.My eyes were locked on the light blue wooden door that separated me from Carly, my feet tapping relentlessly on the concrete hospital floor as I waited for her."Alpha."Hopefully, the baby wasn't affected by Carly's breathlessness or was he? Maybe that was what was taking them forever to open the damn door and grant me access."Alpha Jace."I wasn't sure if I had it in me to forgive Addison if anything were to happen to that child. She knew more than anyone how much that child meant to me and the pack. Was it so difficult to let Carly be? The girl tries everything within her to avoid her, but she has sworn to make her life difficult when the girl
CARLY WOODS POVWaking up the next morning, too tired to crack an eye open I groaned nuzzling my head into the soft pillow wincing at the mild headache that was building up as memories from the night before rushed back, hitting me hard like a brick in the head.Geeze, last night was the most terrible night of my life with all the drama and near-death experience.I tried rubbing my fingers on my temple to ease some of the pains but the action was hindered by the weight on my right hand.Startled, I pulled my eyes open to see a mop of caramel blonde hair that belonged to alpha Jace, my stomach did a double flip at his sleeping form, thick dark lashes almost touching his cheekbones.I wasn't too surprised about him being here, though he should have gone home to sleep in the comfort of his bed not waste his birthday night at my side in the hospital.Sighing, I sat up slowly, my eyes examining the blinding white walls of the room. There was an ugly yellow clock attached to the wall beside
CARLY WOODS POV"Carly." I felt a tender touch on my cheek, light knuckles stroking against my soft skin. "Baby wake up." Soft fingers trailed along my jawline and I sighed in contentment, leaning into the warm touch.I heard Jace's deep chuckle before I felt his wet lips on my forehead."Come on, little Omega." He said, his fingers sneaking into the back of my head.When my eyes flickered open the first thing I saw was the warm smile on Jace Baldwin's face, his beautiful set of green eyes that stared softly into my tired and sleepy face.My face crinkled as I yawned into his face, not a bit bothered about covering my mouth. That must have grossed him out enough to lean away from my face."We're here." He said, placing one last kiss on my head before pulling back a bit to give me a view of the cool scenery."Where are we?" I asked when I noticed the unfamiliar environment.I must have slept off a long the way to wherever we were going.I blinked once then twice in confusion, trying t
CARLY WOODS POVMy head whipped around in the direction of the annoying voice."Carly? Is that you?""I'm sorry ma'am but I think you have me mistaken for another person," I said in hopes she'd leave me alone.But when did I ever have my way in things?"Don't you dare pull that shit on me young lady, I know it's you. The world can't make two of the same damn mistake now, can it?""What do you want?" I snapped at the woman in her early fifties who stood in an expensive and classy black dress that made her look scream money.Mrs Miller or should I say Ophelia's mother who happens to be my mother's elder sister.Mrs Miller and my mother had never seen eye to eye and that was one of the few things I noticed as a kid when I still had my both parents with me. Aunt Kathy as she loved to be called was one of the people that couldn't wait for the sand on my parent's grave to be filled up before she started physically abusing me. She had offered for me to come leave with them but even at nine
