Malachi was quiet as he drove back to Jessica’s house. He slammed his hand against the steering wheel as anger started building up in him. They were in the dark garage, still sitting in the car and he could feel Jessica’s gaze on him. His anger was directed at Kiran, at his recklessness and the fear that had gripped him, thinking that he was losing him.Her emotions were all over the place, as was his. He was frustrated with Kiran. He loved him most in this world but Kiran was also infuriating and he struggled to deal with it, mainly because he kept placing himself in danger and the thought of losing him was one Malachi wasn’t ready to face.“He only did what he thought was right,” Jessica said softly.“Don’t try and justify his actions to me,” Malachi said angrily. He didn’t like the anger in his voice but he had to let it out somehow.“I’m not. I’m just telling you how it is,” she said as they both got out of the car and Malachi slammed the side door shut behind him.“It’s not just

Malachi found Kiran in his study, sitting in his chair, looking out through the window. He turned around when Malachi closed the door behind him and he sighed. Kiran looked exhausted, still a little pale and so sad that some of his anger dissipated.“I made a choice, Dad,” Kiran said.“Yes, Kiran. It was a choice you made and now you have to live with the consequences of your choices,” Malachi said.“Just let it all out, Dad,” Kiran said.“You lied to me. You went off on your own to kill Vincent! What if something had gone wrong? You just decide to do these things and you come home and you die while I stand there listening to your heart stop!” Malachi’s voice had grown louder as he spoke.“I’m sorry.”“Sorry isn’t good enough! You can’t just rush off whenever you feel like it! What if you hadn’t come back?” Malachi’s hands gripped the visitor seat in front of him.Kiran stood up as anger burned in his own eyes. “But I did come back! I killed him and it’s over now!”“This time, yes, wh

Adara returned home just before dinner, much later than she normally did and I wondered if it was to avoid me or because of her plus one. It hurt to think of that plus one but it was my own fault. I had pushed her away, again and again.I was an idiot, but I had set out to do one thing and I had done it. I wasn’t sorry that I’d lied about going to Florida. Vincent had been my problem, not theirs, and I’d rather be damned than endanger her.She hadn’t talked to me when she got home and we all sat at the table in the kitchen eating dinner. It seemed to be the new routine for the twins. They ate dinner with us at the table, Norah feeding Saga and Adara feeding Kai while they ate in between. I sat at the head of the table, in my own seclusion as they sat at the other end, away from me.“Thanks Norah, I’ll be up just now to put Kai to sleep, you can take Saga tonight,” Adara said to her with a smile as Norah took both babies up to their room. She turned to look at me and her smile disappea

I sat looking at James for a few moments before I answered him. He was important to me but with an Alpha Beta relationship it was like a slap in the face and me saying that I didn’t trust his abilities to have my back.“I know but I could never do that to you. Don’t you see? I love you like a brother and you just started your own family. How could I in good conscience take you away from that?” I asked him and he nodded his head in understanding.“Okay, I get that part and thank you for that, because I actually do want to live long enough to see them grow up and get married and all that stuff that I didn’t have with Garrick,” he said to me. “Why didn’t you tell Malachi at least, he’s your dad, Kiran, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for you,” he added.“Exactly, the last time he took a bullet for me in the neck, a bullet meant to kill me and he took it,” I said to him.“Isn’t that his choice to make?” James asked me as he emptied his glass and refilled it.“No, I won’t let anyone choose

“I would appreciate it if you could at least put your own cup away, I’m not your maid,” Adara said to me irritably as I came down the hall from the study to the kitchen. “Yeah, I was up early, sorry,” I said and smiled at her.“And not walk around half naked,” she added irritably.“Sorry,” I said to her again but she didn’t acknowledge me. I sat down at the counter where she stood on the other side looking at her laptop. She still had to feel at least something if it bothered her to see me with no shirt on. I kept on looking at her until she looked up and sighed.“I’m sorry,” I said to her. Her eyes never made contact with mine and I might as well have been invisible.She closed her laptop and looked at me briefly, then she turned around and walked to her car. I sighed. Progress was slow but I smiled, today she had looked at me, perhaps in a week she’d start talking to me.We kept up this cat and mouse game for the next two weeks until she had to talk to me. We had just finished dinn

I walked up the dirt road and took my shirt off to wipe the sweat from my face and I saw the car parked in the driveway. I stood looking at the rental and tried to decipher what type of man rented a flashy convertible. I tucked the end of my shirt into my waistband and walked inside, Adara’s plus one was here. I took a deep breath. I didn’t know how I was going to walk into my own house and face this other man, a man that probably already had feelings for my wife. ‘Be calm, don’t be yourself,’ I said to myself as I entered the kitchen.I stopped in my tracks and almost laughed out loud. I could hear them talking in the kitchen. Adara’s plus one was Caitlyn. I knew what I was about to do wouldn’t win me any points with Adara, but I couldn’t help it. I walked to the fridge and took out a bottle of water.I could feel them looking at me as I stood there and emptied the bottle and threw it in the trash. Adara would be annoyed because I didn’t have a shirt on and Caitlyn, well, Caitlyn w

“He’s in a good mood,” Caitlyn said as she looked around the office. I almost snorted out loud but composed my features in time. James was an asshole for letting me suffer through this alone. Some Beta he was.“How can I help you ladies?” I looked quizzically at Adara and she shrugged. She wanted to be in my office as much as I wanted to be back in the realm of death. She obviously hadn’t told Caitlyn about the problems we’d been having and I would use that to my advantage.“We thought we’d take you to lunch,” Adara said and I sat back and smiled. “But if you’re too busy we understand,” she added quickly.“I’m never too busy for you,” I said and looked Adara in the eye.I smiled at her as Caitlyn got that “aww” look on her face and I knew if she could, she would roll her eyes at me, probably strangle me. I stood up from behind my desk and grabbed my phone. I opened the door for them and led them to the elevators.“You should invite James to join us,” Adara said and I smiled. There was

Jessica clasped her hands together on the table, her eyes twinkled for just a second as she took a sip of her drink before locking her gaze on Caitlyn once more. Malachi had a smile he was trying to hide and I knew it was coming.“Well, aren’t your legs just like a McDonald’s,” Jessica said as she stared at Caitlyn.I choked on my drink from laughing and trying to swallow at the same time as James laid his head down on his arms and laughed. Adara nudged me in the ribs and it was the first time she’d touched me in weeks. That one touch gave me hope, even though I was laughing obscenely loudly.“What?” Caitlyn asked, frowning in her confusion. “Is that a fat joke?”James laughed louder and I couldn’t control myself anymore either. Jessica’s face remained impassive as she looked at Caitlyn. I could see Malachi was fighting the urge to laugh as well.“I can’t decide which one you’d like to jump first though,” Jessica said and Caitlyn blushed.James’s face was red and he pulled on my sleev

Malachi and Jessica made their way to the dance floor as they danced together. I gave it two minutes and then stood up. This was where I gave my blessing by cutting in and dancing with the new bride. Malachi had done this at my wedding and it felt odd that I now had to do it at his.I tapped him on the shoulder and Jessica looked at me. “Seriously,” she said to me as I started to dance with her as Malachi watched.“Get used to it Jessica, this is wolf tradition, the Alpha always cuts in. It shows the pack that you’ve been accepted by me and that you have my blessing. Without it the pack won’t accept you, even married to Malachi,” I said to her and she looked at me, narrowing her eyes.“Don’t,” I said to her and we started laughing. “Welcome to the family, Jess, keep him on his toes.” Jessica’s smile was one of pure happiness.“Oh I intend to,” she said. “Do you want me to tie Lauren up and put her in the closet?” I huffed out a laugh.“It’s okay, I’m pretty sure she’ll stay away from

Malachi and Jessica walked around the corner and I was speechless. She was absolutely beautiful. “Wow Jess, you look perfect.”She rolled her eyes at me but smiled. “Dude, I know, but thanks, you don’t look so bad yourself.” I laughed and hugged Malachi tightly as he slapped me on the back. I signaled for the music to begin as I turned towards the door.Lauren took my arm as the music began and she leaned in close against me. I pushed her away by slightly lifting my elbow so she couldn’t walk that close to me. I felt Adara watching me as I walked up the steps with her and walked across the raised dais and took my position on the other side.Jessica and Malachi started walking down the aisle holding hands when Jessica suddenly stopped. “Screw it,” she said and kicked her shoes off. She left them in the aisle and saw Carl looking at them.“Hey Susan!” she said loudly as his face turned red and continued barefoot until they stood in front of Richard who was officiating the wedding.

I headed downstairs again with plenty of time to spare and walked down the hallway towards where James and Shoran were standing by the doors that led to the conference room we were using for the ceremony.Jessica had kept it simple but beautiful. The tables stood on either side of the make-shift aisle and we had erected a small stage for the ceremony with about five steps leading up to it. Her colors were emerald green and silver. They blended together well and I could see Jessica in every choice she’d made. The whole setting suited Malachi as well and I knew they would make it forever.Shoran bowed her head at me, but her eyes were angry when I finally reached them. I hadn’t missed it and inwardly I smiled. Shoran was loyal and I would never call her out for it. Adara was her best friend.“Shoran,” I said as I nodded my head at her and James laughed.“Stop it, he’s trying,” he said to her. She opened her mouth to say something but then closed it again.“No, say what you want to say,”

I parked in my spot in the hotel parking lot and looked at all the cars that had already filled it. A lot of Jessica’s guests were booking in that morning, and the reception area was bustling with people. I walked over to James as he greeted guests with a smile and directed them where to go.“Malachi said he wants to see you as soon as you arrive,” James said to me. He had a clipboard in his hands and I could see that most of the guests had already arrived. We were at full capacity that weekend.“Good morning to you too. I see we’re starting the day off right,” I said with a smile.“Oh yeah, it’s just awesome.” James grinned and I left him to carry on. Malachi wanted to see me and I wondered briefly if something had happened. Everything was done, the guests were there, the food was there, the flowers and cake had arrived, everything had gone off without a hitch.I took the elevator up to my office, feeling better than I had a week earlier. Adara had spoken to me, she’d touched me and

“Do you want me to climb on your back?” he asked me and I nodded my head. He pulled at my fur as he struggled to climb on but he managed and I stood up. ‘Where are your parents, kid?’ I wondered to myself as I started walking slowly forward.“My name’s Aaron and I’m going to call you Rex!” he said and I shook my head.“What about Super Wolf?” he asked me and again I shook my head as we walked through the forest. I was heading towards the lagoon where I heard distant music.“Okay, how about Chief because you’re really big and you’re a hero!” he said and I thought, ‘what the hell’, so I nodded and he hugged me from behind around my neck. I walked around the cabins that were situated just beyond the Second Lake and kept walking.He was telling me about his dog, whose name was Rex, and his school, his friends and how a wolf was now his favourite animal. I kept walking and I saw the distant flashing lights, red and blue. I felt relieved that maybe they realized he was missing and they were

It was 3 a.m. and I couldn’t sleep, I had been rolling around in my bed all night. I had left Adara and Caitlyn in the living room where they’d been talking. Adara was a little bit nicer to me with Caitlyn in the house and I wondered how long that would last once she left again.I got up and went downstairs and put the kettle on for coffee. I took my coffee to the study and put the laptop on. I opened my email and I started typing. It sounded cliché as I reread it but that was the truth.“Adara,I could say I’m sorry a thousand times and still it wouldn’t be enough to undo the hurt I caused you. To say that I regret it would probably be a good place to start, but there are some of my choices that I don’t regret. I regret lying to you and hurting you, but I truly believed at the time that I was doing the right thing for everyone.I needed to know that he wouldn’t come after you or the kids, because you are my weakness and I could put my emotions off and be able to live without you, but

After lunch, Malachi drove back to Jessica’s office to drop her off at work. He parked in the parking lot and turned towards Jessica. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”“I won’t be the one in white,” she said and Malachi smiled.“I don’t care.” Jessica leaned forward and kissed him. “I love you, Jess.”“I love you too, old guy.” With that Jessica got out of the car and didn’t look back once as she crossed the street and disappeared inside her office.Malachi drove to his own office and finished up with the last of his cases before the wedding and then he’d be on honeymoon with Jessica for four weeks and he’d given Lynne off for those four weeks as well. For the first time in twenty odd years, Malachi’s office would be closed for business.“Yes,” Malachi said at the knock on his door.The door opened and Lynne walked inside. “Mr Sinclair?”“Yes, Lynne?”“I wanted to say congratulations for tomorrow,” she said and placed a wrapped box on Malachi’s desk.“Thank you, Lynne, but this really wasn’t n
