EpilogueSix years later..Ever since the twins started walking, the house was a mess a minute after it was tidied up. And boy, if my blood wasn't wolf, I'd be crazy right now.I was lying on the rug in the living room resting for a while. The sofa was out of the way because I had pushed it so I could get a cart that Hazel had let roll under it and I was enjoying a few seconds while the twins were in the room playing.But that didn't last long."Mommy!" I heard Hailey's voice and looked up just long enough to see the red mane running towards me before she jumped on top of me. I laughed and rolled with her on the rug."Where's your brother?" I asked and she looked at me with those caramel eyes."He's mad because he said I took his cart."What cart?"A red one." I looked over at the coffee table and saw the cart I'd just grabbed from under the couch."Hazel!" I called him and after a few seconds, he appeared in the hall. The unruly black hair was already down to his ears. His eyes, also
SarahAnd suddenly everything was happening too fast... James was so tense, I could tell he had been injected with an insane amount of adrenaline straight into his chest. Liane was next to Amelia on the sofa, and seemed to be suturing her neck. I had imagined that James would bring Amelia here, but not in a situation like this... I looked at the whole situation around me happening as if I was watching them in slow motion, for a brief moment I blinked and looked at Stanley. I saw him with his eyebrows furrowed, frowning." By any chance, can you explain it to me? " Stanley said with his fists clenched and only then did I notice Lucas there. He stopped, looking at the two of us with wide eyes. And then Stanley asked again, in a serious tone. "Can you please explain to me exactly what the fuck happened?""I could ask you the same thing." James replied." This is not the time for this. " Ethan approached them. "I'm sure they'll explain later." Lucas sighed." We saw her and Abell fighting
JamesI was sitting on a chair next to the bed. The heat was starting to take over my body since I had even forgotten to take off my jacket. I ripped it off and realized my hands were still dirty with dried blood.I had lost track of how much time I'd spent staring at that face across the bed. Quiet, inert. Trying to capture any micro movement on her pale face. Watching her chest rise and fall normally under the coverlet, and if by chance the color would return to the fingers of her hands. It would be great...I heard footsteps in the hallway and then three knocks on the door. Sarah's scent soon reached my nose."Come in." I said and the door opened slowly. I saw her come in with a plate in her hand."I thought you'd be hungry." She smiled, but the smile soon faded as she glanced toward the bed."Thanks." He left his plate on the nightstand and walked over to where I was standing."Want to talk?" I sighed and looked back at Sarah. She looked pained as she looked back at me. Do I look
SarahI woke up to a faint noise coming from the hallway. It seemed to be quite early yet. I looked to the side and saw a beautiful, slightly tanned body wrapped in the sheets. I carefully crawled over to him and kissed his back. It was supposed to be just a kiss so as not to wake him up, but his smell and his delicious heat ended up urging me to slide the tip of my nose over his skin and leave more kisses along the length of his back. It didn't take long for me to hear a husky murmur coming from him. Which got me a wide smile."Don't tease me first thing in the morning, my female..." He spoke quietly. "Even more an Alpha."I'm sorry I woke you up." I ran my hand down her back and down to her lower back. "I couldn't resist." I whispered in her ear before squeezing her delicious ass."Hmm." He murmured, moving his arms. "And you think I can resist if you continue like this?" He turned his head to look at me and I realized that his wolf was wide awake when I met his scarlet eyes. Which
JamesSaying I was calm was something I couldn't. My body shivered every time I moved from side to side. I could feel what was going on behind the bathroom door. I could hear that cry. And the only thing that kept me from going in was Stanley, who called out to me just in time."Let them. I'm sure Sarah will help. Everything has its time." I felt my chest tighten as I reached the living room. Stanley had just made some coffee."Yeah, the same amount of time you didn't give at that moment..."I regretted it, okay? I already apologized." I sighed when he returned a hostile look. I raised an eyebrow and poured myself some coffee as well. It'll be good to keep me awake today.Oh shit, tomorrow I have to go back to work."What happened?" I asked and he took a deep breath."Sarah is a little too provocative."I don't want to know anymore. Spare me that." I looked away and heard a soft chuckle come from him. However, a tired laugh."Actually, that's not it." He said. "It's too frustrating to
StanleyWith everything that had happened, I had completely forgotten that lunch was today. If it weren't for Liane reminding me, I'd be lost. I was thinking about not going at all, but when I mentioned the idea to Sarah, she made a priceless face."No, you have to go. You're the Alpha, your pack will all be there and I'm sure this is a great opportunity to talk about what happened with Abell and the alliance with Bruce." I studied his face with a smile. She was sitting in my armchair in the bedroom, completely instigating. I just wanted to spend the rest of the day with her."Then come with me..." I wasn't serious. Of course she would refuse as she has until now. She looked at me and I sat on the edge of the bed next to her. Her mouth opened to say something, but closed again.Stop torturing her on this subject Stanley, I know you're anxious for her to be known and seen, but just let it all happen naturally."I'm just kidding." I gave a short laugh and squeezed her knee positioned be
I walked back into the living room and ran my eyes around the room. Soon I saw Sarah together with Liane. It seems that the pregnant woman was introducing her to others. I held back a laugh when I saw her all embarrassed. Oh, I wanted to take her from Liane again for a moment, but I felt a hand grab my arm and I turned. It was Mark, and right behind him, a girl. Mandy."Wow, how unexpected." I smiled and turned to them. "So long Mandy..." I had greeted her parents earlier but hadn't seen her yet. "How are you?" a cute smile."I'm fine." I looked from Mark to her."I'm glad you came." She will be great company for Mark. Even more now."Stanley, where is Sury?" Mark asked looking around."Ah, that... She's busy. Best not to look for her right now." I looked down the hall. "But tell me, how are you doing at school?" don't get in trouble over there." Mark smiled and looked at Mandy."Do you think this one would be capable of getting into trouble?"No, I'm just worried about you influencin
"Of course my love, sleep." He opened a wide smile. "Sleep a lot."Ah. I see." William replied laughing. "If that's the case, that's fine. I'll explain to the others later." but she'll get used to it. I'll talk to her."Thank you." I nodded and Stanley took my hand before saying goodbye. William nodded and we headed for the door before the others noticed.He seems quite agitated. I swallowed hard. Sleep... Ahem.Once in the car, I asked what he had done to make William so happy like that. And his answer made me laugh."So that's how it happened..." I said imagining the scene. I would never imagine that Sury was William's partner. That was why he had protected her from me so fiercely that day we met. Makes perfect sense now." But have they known each other for a long time?"About six years ago."Six years? And even now they are not together?"The two of them have always been very close since she arrived, but last year she entered wolf maturity, and it wasn't until then that they realiz

SarahThe next day I said I was going to call James with the news, but Stanley cut me off by saying he wasn't ready for visitors yet. I looked at his face with Hazel in his lap and laughed as Hailey slept in her crib after nursing. Hazel had more trouble falling asleep than she did."Aren't you ready, Daddy?" I asked wryly and Stanley nodded as he looked at Hazel with his hazel eyes still wide. He and his sister were the cutest things in the world.At night, Stanley took my cell phone and handed it to me."Here." He looked apologetic. "I was such an asshole, sorry. You can warn your brother and father about our children." He murmured as he felt our lips together."It's okay, I understand how it is, Stanley. I won't blame you for wanting some time with me and the twins before the others arrive." He smoothed my cheek and I picked up the phone. I went to the couch and sat down already dialing James's number. Stanley sat on the arm of the couch and watched me."Hello? Little sister?" Jame
Six months later...SarahI'm not going to say that pregnancy is easy and beautiful, because most of the time it isn't. I was already exhausted and hadn't even given birth yet. I just wanted to eat and sleep. I had put on twenty kilos and my back was asking for relief. And Stanley loved every second of every day because he wasn't the one pregnant.But, of course, there were also the magical moments. Like, for example, the first time the baby moved at 3 months and I screamed Stanley to feel it with me. I also loved rubbing my stomach and imagining perfectly the little thing that was there inside me. I loved lying on the grass in the early morning because it was the only position I didn't feel my back screaming for mercy. And it was summer, so the weather was perfect and convenient to enjoy.And the last moment I loved was when we decided on the names. That was actually last night when I couldn't sleep. Because apparently it was my baby's favorite time to kick my belly. Stanley kept tal
SarahA week had passed and there were only two more left for christmas. I'm not going to say that I wasn't really anxious to find out if I was really carrying a puppy inside me or not, because until now, I hadn't felt anything different.And that has been very frustrating.I asked Liane over and over again how long it took her to find out she was pregnant and she simply replied that it was much faster for us.For humans, it was normal to feel the first symptoms after the second or third week, while for wolves, this decreased by half.The thing is, a week had already passed. Liane just said I didn't have to worry about it and keep trying. It was obvious that I was. After all that hell we'd been through, I actually grabbed Stanley by the neck and pulled him into the bedroom whenever we had time. And we harnessed each other at all times.It was impossible for me not to get pregnant with him... Right?I found myself opening the fridge for the tenth time just to cut up another piece of sa
MandyMark was shirtless and yet the wide open window let in all the icy wind. However, the temperature inside was still incredibly pleasant."I already told you to go. As you can see, I'm fine." He pointed at himself and turned around."Well? That doesn't look right to me. You missed class today."I'm just tired."Ahem..." I looked at his body and his back. Messy hair and skin glistening with sweat. "Look at me."Mandy, go away. Please. You don't want to be here and it's a bad idea."If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't be here. Let me help you." My body was starting to get weirder with every second I spent inside this room.Mark turned away again and went to the window to close it when I started to shiver. What he didn't know was that it wasn't because of the cold that I was shivering."Sury is down there?" He asked."She was on her way out when I arrived. It's just the two of us here." I saw his shoulders tense."I'm sorry, I asked her not to come to your house."It's okay." I w
Stanley"You're coming into heat and need a female."What?" He got up out of the snow so fast the snow on his arms flew into his head. "No. No. No. Obviously not."You're already sixteen and you turned a few weeks ago. You knew very well your heat was going to come at some point, didn't you? Did Sury talk to you about it?"She said something like that." He covered his face with his hands and bent his knees. Probably distressed. "What the fuck... What the fuck!"I know how you feel. During my first heat I locked myself in my room and waited for it to pass for three weeks without seeing anyone. It didn't go away. Much less did it get better. My father forced me to wake up to life and said it was just a passing." I looked at him still desolate. "It's something natural for our species, Mark."I don't want that." I cracked a smile, then scratched my nose to hide it."I know you don't. I'm your Alpha, I'm just trying to help you." I heard him mutter an expletive."And what did you do?"What
SarahAfter lunch, Stanley came back from the call and took a deep breath before putting the device back in his pocket. The pale eyes landed on me and then I saw there was something going on."I need to go to the pack house. It looks like Mark's human friend is there and the wolves who didn't know about the situation are worried."Situation?" I asked and Stanley looked at me as if he understood something I didn't."When you were captured. Mark ended up opening his mouth and saying that Antony had known about us for a few days. Mark transformed and he saw. He thought that the hunters had come because his friend knew."That's why he looked so scared..."I could remember his hands shaking..."Poor thing... I'll come along."I hadn't seen any of them since I was captured and I needed to see them with my own eyes."I expected you to come with me." He walked over and placed a kiss on my cheek. His pheromones had already returned to normal again. I mean, as much as possible. Because even after
Stanley"How often are you two in heat?" Sarah asked me as she stroked my chest. It was torture. Complete. And I was holding back a lot not to go to the second round."I've only been in heat twice before." Her eyes widened and her beautiful fingers stopped stroking my skin."Swear?"It's the two obligatory heats of a wolf. For both sexes." She furrowed her brows even more confused. So I continued to explain. "When we first turned at sixteen and when we entered wolf maturity." She gaped."After that you never had any again?"After that, males only come into heat with the potential female or mate. Through her heats." And then Sarah went back to running her fingers along my ribs. They settle down. Probably when you're in heat, I'll join you too." Then her fingers stopped again and she lifted her face to get a better look at me."Go in..." She bit her lip in a naughty way. "Okay, that's quite convenient." I narrowed my eyes and couldn't help but smile."Convenient, isn't it...?" I turned
SarahI felt something warm touch my face. I ignored it still sleepy and moved in that warm and cozy nest. The scent of mint and musk was all over the place and that's all I needed to know. My hands moved over soft, silky fur before I felt it moving too.I opened one eye slowly and that's when I saw the huge body of the black wolf lying beside me. It took up practically the entire space of the bed and was glued to me. And the warm thing I felt on my face was his nose against my cheek.Stanley must have shifted in his sleep and not even noticed. It was probably his wolf's unconscious way of healing faster. His delicious scent was all over the bed and the bandage on his belly had come off in the transformation.I hugged his body and settled my head on his neck before I heard a hoarse growl coming from deep inside his chest. The sound of his wolf only made me more enthralled. And then I felt a sniffle in my hair."Sarah..."My eyes widened when I heard that voice in my head. I quickly li
