Here you go! I wanted to include a little peek into Blakely's upcoming book. There will be a couple more teases before this one comes to a close. Will the time away at the cabin be what the trio needs to relax?
GRANTAngel had no idea that we would be spending the weekend at the cabin. Gabriel and I had sneakily packed for the three of us.Sophia and Paula had taken it upon themselves to get the cabin prepped for us. They both said that it was the least that they could do to ensure that their daughter and sons-in-law enjoyed some much-deserved rest and relaxation.Some people might assume that the situation between Angel’s mothers would be awkward, but they would assume wrong. They both loved her more than anything and appreciated each other and what they meant to her. They had quickly become great friends as well.Gabriel and I had always fantasized about mated life with Angel, but we had never once considered that it would be anything like it had been for us thus far.We had the perfect first night as mates, but the following day set the mood for how a lot of the future days would be. I was not saying that we lacked amazing moments with our girl because we had some pretty amazing moments an
ANGELIf a weekend getaway was not enough to make me smile then the ring on my finger would.My mates wanted to marry me, tying us together in one more way. Marking our mates was the shifter equivalent of marriage.Goddess, this ring was so damn gorgeous! I have seen many beautiful rings, but all paled in comparison to this one right here. My mates continued to amaze me.We decided to go swimming before we cooked dinner together. They did a great fantastic job with packing for this weekend. I chose the red bikini that I had recently got. This would be the first time that I wore a bikini around anyone, which I liked because it would be something just for my mates.I threw my hair up into a messy bun on the top of my head. It was hell putting all of it up like this, but it worked. I smiled in the mirror when my eyes caught sight of the marks on my neck. I was so damn proud of them and showed them off whenever I got the chance.My mates were talking to each other when I left the bedroom.
GRANTThe weekend that we had at the cabin had been exactly what we all needed to relax, recharge, and reconnect.The past three weeks have been nothing short of awesome. We have had the opportunity to truly hammer out what we wanted our time as leaders to look like. We have analyzed the pack from an internal and external perspective. It allowed us to figure out places where we excelled as well as places were we struggled.Nightshade excelled in security. Now that we had gotten rid of the traitors that we knew about, we felt more secure in this, but we were not letting our guard down at all.We also excelled in the research and development sector. Lucas’ team had truly catapulted our pack into the lead of many others. Sophia actually began working with them and let us just say that the team fell in love with her brilliance and genuine personality. She was able to bring some big ideas with the ability to back them up. We were extremely happy that she was finding her own path that made h
ANGELI was sitting on Mama’s couch in the house where she now lived with Lucas.It was great to see them getting along so well. They were fully mated now, and he treated her like she always deserved to be treated – like a Queen. She had to face so much tragedy and horror in her past. I was extremely thankful that Lucas showed her what it was like to be loved by your mate.Something that I would not forget to mention was that they were two peas in a pod when it came to their work. She had begun working with the Research and Development team. Everyone had eagerly accepted her because she proved to them that she had the talent to back up her ideas. Something that she and Lucas were currently working on was to develop a way for others to harness our type of light so that it could be used to detect dark magic and have a way to burn it away just like I had already been able to do with others.I could not wait to see if they could actually accomplish it because it could become an invaluable
ANGELUnfortunately, there was not a lot of space available where we would not be in the way. Thus, we positioned ourselves at her feet. We would be able to send her healing and my light into Elle’s body.Ziyah cautioned me to be careful with how much light I sent in at one time. A steady low-dose would also help to protect her body from going into shock as they worked.‘Faye is trying to protect the pup. She was too weak to say anything other than that,’ Athena told me.Knowing about their past lives, I understood how she was feeling beyond her being our mates’ mother wolf. I would do everything in my power to ensure that the three of them survived. I just prayed that I would be able to.I felt my mates releasing some light through our bond since they had access to it as being mated to me. It helped to replenish my strength.There was no telling how much time had passed since we began this, but it seemed that Ziyah and I were actually able to keep Elle’s body going so that they could
GRANTMama Faye told us that Kella’s ability to heal was sped up as a result of the amount of healing that went on to keep Mom and Kella alive during surgery. That was certainly a good side effect. Apparently, some of it was absorbed into the DNA that determined gifts.“Alphas, please follow me,” Drew told us.We were at Steele Construction to go over the plans that we have developed for the home that we wished to build. We had put a lot of thought into this and hoped that Angel liked it. We made certain that the design would accommodate a growing family, seeing as how we would soon be welcoming twins.“What can I help you with today?” he asked us.I passed him over the designs that we had worked on. Uncle Dante had also offered his opinion because he was great with architectural design.“Seven bedroom, four and a half bath. Home office. Two-story with open floor plan. Window walls.” He was nodding along as he looked through everything. “Wrap-around porch, patio, and balcony off of th
ANGELThe last couple of weeks had gone smoothly. Elle was fully recovered except for some wariness when crossing streets, but nobody could blame her for that. I would be more worried if she did not have any wariness.The teen driver had nearly been destroyed by the guilt on his conscience. Luckily, Elle was able to talk him into attending counseling so that he could heal from this.If he had been an adult instead of a teenager, the punishment would have included the cells for an extended length of time. He was not being given a pass, but this was an ideal learning experience that could lead to a transformation that would make him even stronger. Thus, he would be attending a defensive driving course and community service on top of the counseling.The other night, I had a dream that lit a fire underneath my ass. Well, Athena actually called it a vision of guidance. They were aptly named because they were used to guide someone about something in particular.I had spent the past two days
ANGELThe fact of the matter was that nobody could outrun their past indefinitely. At one point or another, it would appear in front of you like a charging bull inside of a china shop, threatening to destroy everything within its wake.Something that I had recently learned was that trust needed to be earned instead of blindly given. Had I not been so trusting, had not allowed myself to ignore my instincts, then I might not even be here right now. Goddess, I had been so damn blind and had nobody to blame myself for falling into this carefully created trap.I had always prided myself on my strength. It had been hounded into me that I could overcome anything just as long as I fought hard enough and continued fighting no matter what. The reality was that it was much easier said than done when the time came to put that plan into action.Betrayal – the word itself stung, slicing into me like a silver dagger, serrating everything it touched. How had I been so blind to not have seen the snake
