Daniel comes up to me and tries to hug me like it's nothing, but I can't help but pull back in apprehension and disgust. The smell is going to make me puke at any moment. "What happened to you, are you okay?" I ask, taking another step back when Daniel keeps insisting on coming over to give me a hug or maybe even kiss me, "Daniel, wait! Whose blood is this?" "Mine, mostly... Rodrick's, Lucinda's and a little bit of Harry's. Don't worry, I'm starting to heal," he says and as I'm thinking about what he just said, Daniel takes advantage of me and hugs me. The smell of blood is so intense it makes me dizzy for a second, even if it’s mostly dry, “I missed you so much, baby." "I need you to..." before I can finish telling him to get away from me and go take a shower, I hear my mom, Carolina, Robbie and Rosie leave the house, while from the truck the family alphas slowly emerge. I take advantage of this to nudge Daniel away, pretending to be extremely interested in the descent of the oth
As that horrible thought crosses my mind I let out a choked gasp and cover my mouth tightly, shocked at myself. Disgusted with myself. I know Rosie's gone to see Mallory, so I walk to her room and lock myself in there to compose myself.Just like I told my sister, I want this baby. It's a gift from Mother Nature and I know it's going to be a part of my heart and a little creature that will have all my love, but I absolutely don't want to go through all that one more time. It doesn't matter that the conditions are different now. I told Daniel that I already forgave him and that's true... but at what point will I stop remembering everything I suffered because of him and stop resenting him? It's not like I want to keep holding on to those horrible negative feelings, but it's impossible to stop them from popping into my head. And it makes me feel worse because I love him so much that I'm even starting to get mad at myself for not being able to get over this shït. I just want to be h
{ Olivia } I can't believe I have agreed with my alpha on something, but talking about the situation made the weight lift off my shoulders just like he said. Plus, knowing that Daniel would support me in a decision of that magnitude gave him plenty of brownie points. I thought he was going to explode and call me horrible things, but he didn't and that makes me love him just a little bit more. “Let’s stay here a while longer," Daniel says as he pulls away from my lips, not taking the kiss any further and lies back down on top of me, his big head resting between my breasts. I'd love to give him a noogie, but instead I give myself permission to be cringe for a second and lower my nose to breathe in his scent, "I feel like things have been super hectic since the day of my rut. I haven't even been able to enjoy you like I should.""I know," I nod and sigh contentedly as I feel his hands reach between my body and the bed to take possession of my ass, "We went from 0 to 100 without our c
We only get out of bed when my mom texts me to get ready to go out and see a few thinks about the wedding. Daniel grunts but gets dressed and as he does, I see that the wounds along his big torso and arms are beginning to heal. He’s such a strong alpha, I can’t believe I’m actually marrying him in a couple of weeks. "I'm excited for you to see everything I've been doing. Basically, everything is done, but I want you to give it a thumbs up. And then, we have to go look for your respective outfits," my mother says as we're on our way downtown. I frown from the back seat. "What? Isn't that supposed to be bad luck? I should be doing this on my own, Daniel shouldn't see me." "Don't be silly, Olivia. That is human nonsense. There’s no bad luck with fated mates. Daniel has to see you and give his opinion on your wedding attire, and vice versa. That’s the tradition,” She answers in an obvious tone, rolling her eyes. I get a little nervous about that, but I don't say anything, I just let
After that, we are thankfully free to go. Dalia leads us towards the boutique for our wedding attires and I think I'm going to be bored again. Olivia, her mom and a tailor pick out like a million white dresses for her, and a few black tuxedos for me. And I was wrong about being bored because when Olivia tries on the first dress, I can't take my eyes away from her. "Do you like this one?" She asks, walking out of the fitting room straight at me. “Oh, you’re still wearing the scarf?” the tailor mutters, dissatisfied. It is a little funny to see her wearing a big white dress with a pink scarf around her neck, but she still looks gorgeous. “My alpha got a little too excited with the hickies this morning,” she easily lies and the omega tailor immediately nods, embarrassed. Olivia’s hair is still tousled from the attack on my father, but her green eyes are sparkling and she's never looked more beautiful than right now, even with that scarf. "I love it," I say, my heart pumping har
{ Olivia } This morning, I go visit my future husband at his job, strolling around in my over-used turtleneck and short shorts like a trophy wife who has nothing to do but come to see her man. The alphas who pass by greet me with respect and talk to me and Laurie until we get to Daniel’s office. He gets up from his chair when he sees me and thanks me for bringing him the phone he stupidly forgot at home. He gives me a quick kiss goodbye and Laurie gives his alpha father a dramatic hug before we leave, as if he didn’t just had breakfast with him half an hour ago. Just to take advantage of the trip, I go down to the basement to visit my sister at her cell. Just a couple of months ago, hearing that Clara is locked up like a little trapped cockroach would have filled me with twisted pleasure and happiness, but now that I have managed to put my hatred aside, I worry about her. So, I go down to visit her to see how she’s doing. I don't have much to worry about, I realize, when I see ho
"I'd want to know too if I were in your shoes," she admits and gives me a comforting smile, placing a hand on my leg. Her scent smells like pity all of a sudden and though it makes me blush with embarrassment, I wait as she thinks a bit before speaking, "Now that I know about you, a couple of things make a lot more sense." "Like what?" I ask, starting to feel frantic. My hands won't stop sweating and I can't stop burying my fingernails in my legs with stress. I know I shouldn't add fuel to the fire, but when else will I have this opportunity to know two sides of the same story? Everything that Daniel told me sounded good… a little too good, if I’m being honest. "Well... when Clara and Daniel first got engaged, Daniel was very, very sad for a long time. It was incredibly weird to all of us how he could be sad when he was finally going to marry the love of his life. We didn't know he had a compatible omega that wasn't her. I guess he felt guilty about Mother Nature giving him someone
"Alpha..." I say, starting to raise my hands in front of me to stop him and I even walk backwards trying to stop him from doing his thing and coming for me, but when he sets his eyes on me I become his prey and he takes long steps until he reaches me and grabs my face in his hand to force me to hold his gaze. His presence alone makes me shake in my boots, now more than ever. Ever since he marked me and became my mate for real, things feel very different. He has more power over me.And I love it, usually… except I don't like feeling extra submissive now while I'm upset. "Answer me. Do you think you have a choice?" he insists, trying to burn me with his psychopathic alpha eyes. I know I should surrender and submit like a good omega but I have no reason to do so at the moment, "Do you think there is a future where you don't marry me?" "It was just a figure of speech!" I defend myself, trying to stay strong and not lower my gaze from his, "Besides, I do have other choices. I can do wh
Hello Everyone, this is your author speaking :} Laurie and King's story is over, but this is not the end of them. We'll still get to see their new life in my next book: "A Healer For The Alpha" in which we’ll get to see the love stories of Rio and then Alex. The Taffy boys still have a long way to go. The book will be available on my profile soon, make sure you're following me so you'll know when that happens. Thanks for reading ➿ one month later ➿ { Kingsley } "Please, just... meet me halfway," Laurent begs, looking completely stressed and defeated. He's sitting at the desk in his new office in the chapel, trying to close the hardest deal of his life... convincing Alex to forgive him, "Please, dude. You have no idea what you're putting me through. You're totally taking advantage of my love for you." "I've already said what I needed to say," Alex repeats, stubborn as ever, crossing his arms. I can only shake my head and settle better on the couch. This wil
I spend the rest of the day taking a tour of the whole clan with Laurie. To be honest, it doesn't look as bad as someone might think. I mean, it is bad, the streets aren't clean, the parks and woods aren't taken care of, there isn't as much security around, there aren't as many businesses and it just doesn't have the rich vibe of Fallonmore, but I trust we can take it there. I need to take it there or I won't like living here. We get to the mall in the afternoon, although it's really just a small plaza with ten stores, absolutely pathetic and sad. They don't even sell the good stuff and it's not full of people like in Fallonmore; they’re always shopping like the world is going to end over there, but we still manage to find formal outfits for tomorrow because Laurent definitely can't introduce himself to his new clan while he's still wearing clothes with the Fallonmore logo on them. We also bought new cell phones and food and spent the rest of the day in Laurent’s old (new?) apa
"Wow... this was not what we expected at all. You really never know what life has in store for you. Congratulations, Laurie. I always knew your destiny was going to be amazing," my grandfather says with a smile and reaches over to pat me on the back. "No! Grandpa, I don't want this," I admit, looking at everyone for help, "No. No." "Congratulations on accomplishing what I never could. And you didn’t even fucking try. That's so damn great," my Uncle Rodrick blurts out through his teeth, pretending to smile, sitting next to my mom and rubbing her back while she's still in shock, "Totally great. I'm so happy for you." "Can you move away? Your envy is making me nauseous," my mom complains, making my Uncle squint at her with annoyance, "What does this mean, Alessandro? Can he do this from Fallonmore?" "Of course not, Olivia. This is his territory now. He has to live here," my father states and comes closer to grab my shoulders, "This is happening, Laurent. You made a decision and thes
When the interrogation is over we can finally eat and the conversation becomes normal because Diory comes down to sit with us. Rio suddenly appears to bring Laurie's car and takes the opportunity to sit down to eat with us. "Where's Alex?" Laurie asks. "Angry at life, but especially at the two of us and Uncle Daniel," he mutters. Daniel and Lucinda share a tired look, "He left this morning without telling me where, he's probably crying under some bridge." "Alex is at my house with Phi, he's not crying under any bridge," Rodrick replies. "Even worse, he's so depressed he's deciding to spend time with the little ones," Rio blurts out, grimacing sadly. Diory throws something at him, "He wouldn't talk to me at all yesterday, he even left our room to sleep somewhere else.” "Alex has to understand that things are different now," Lucinda says, "He couldn't go with you guys and I know that sucks, but rules are rules. There are no omegas in security for a thousand reasons, it's for his o
{ Kingsley }With my mom's help I manage to stop this damn crying fit. Everything that happened came crashing down on me on the way back and I think without my mom's help I wouldn't have been able to stop crying for hours and hours, as usual, but now I'm starting to calm down. Olivia’s hysteria is also helping me calm down because it made me laugh to see her attack and hug Laurie at the same time. My mate really did something super freaking stupid, but he made it through in the end. That's all that matters now. My alpha mom grabs me in her strong arms and hugs me, kissing me all over like I'm a literal puppy and scenting my head. "You're grounded," she says after I get the biggest love attack. "What?! Why?" "Because you worried me too much and you don’t do that to your mother. You can't go anywhere but home and Laurent's house until my heart is working properly again," she states and I know that even though it's ridiculous, she's being serious. My moms and Laurent's parents
The stress of the situation is causing the tranquilizer effect to wear off me a bit, at least enough to be able to move my arms. I manage to cover my face as I sob in fear and just keep praying because it's all I can do at this point. The sounds are getting worse and worse by the second, not to mention that the potent scent of fear coming from Rio is making me feel even worse. I don't know how much time has passed, but when I hear one last whimper of pain coming from a wolf and then a collective gasp, my world stops. But... I'm not dead. Or am I? "Oh, my fucking god," Rio blurts out and his scent of fear suddenly changes to relief. That's all I need to realize that my mate won. Rio stops pushing my head and I can now hold myself upright, so I manage to turn and see how my Alpha is standing from the ground still in his animal form while Christian's brown wolf lies motionless underneath him. He is dead. My weak legs lose the fight and I fall to the ground on my knees as
My father gets out of bed as soon as I say that and he listens attentively to the whole thing without wasting a single second asking dumb questions. He immediately grabs his phone to call the borders while my omega dad is just staring at us from his bed with big eyes, breathing heavily. "Kingsley Seong left the clan with Christian Roade," one of the guards says from the phone. Every hair on my body stands up anxiously and I start growling from my chest as I confirm that this fucking asshole really came back to the clan just to grab my mate and take him away from me, "Why, boss?" "How could you let that happen? Kingsley is being taken against his will," my father exclaims, walking over to put on some pants without letting go of the phone. "I don't think so, sir. Kingsley was sitting in the passenger seat, completely lucid." I shake my head. No way. No way. My father ends that call and walks over to grab me by the shoulders. "We'll go get him, Alpha. Don't doubt it, we'll get him
✨ Hello, this is your author speaking, the end of this book is very near. There’s only a few more chapters to go and this story will be over. But we can’t leave the twins forgotten, of course. They will have their own book and their own stories soon. Hope you’re ready for that, and make sure you’re following me so you can get a notification when I post their new book ✨ { Kingsley } 'I miss you, baby. I shouldn't have come with the girls :(' I text Laurent when I can't fight against my feelings anymore. Of course it's fun to be with my best friends, but suddenly my wolf started feeling extra needy and I'm getting infected by his desire to be with our Alpha and sleep with him, with his overgrown body on top of me. We basically didn't spend any time together today, just the fifteen minutes at the restaurant before the girls showed up and made me feel bad for forgetting our bestienniversary. For a long time Laurent doesn’t reply, so I keep texting him. He's probably still with
"Play nice, okay? Trust me," I say to the twins and they don't seem to like it very much, but they have no choice but to agree because I park my car behind Christian’s and get out to greet him with a handshake and a half hug. I do the same to Devin, too, trying to control my wolf. Now I'm really thankful King isn't here. I don’t think I’d be able to stay this calm if I saw Christian lusting after him. "What's up, dude? What’s this surprise about?" I ask, looking at my house. My parents are in there and I know they're not going to be happy if they know he's in our clan. Even though I know there's no real reason to distrust Christian, something about him screams trouble. "I just wanted to come check on you. You left so suddenly, I thought it was weird," he mentions, looking at me with a frown as if trying to figure out what's different about me. I know my scent has changed since King bit me, maybe that's what he's picking up on. "There were some family issues here, I had to come r
