I turn around and lean against the table as Liam comes up caging me in. “You look beautiful.” He says as he places a gentle kiss on my cheek. I pull his lips to mine and like always it’s like I escape this world and fall head first into pure bliss. We’re interrupted by Cole pulling Liam away from me and dragging him into the living room. “You can make-out later, right now we need to party!” Cole exclaims, shouting the word party, having the whole house howl in response. I chuckle shaking my head, when Dallas hands me my drink. “Thank you.” I say sweetly, taking it from him.He smiles and nods his head towards the living room. I take a deep breath and follow him. I’ve been getting better, but big gatherings are still not my thing. Kiera runs up to me, stopping me from getting to the chair I was about to sit in, until I wanted to start dancing. She wraps her arm around mine and starts pulling me the opposite direction. Dallas spins on his heels and follows us, he doesn’t like being too
I spend the next week with school in the mornings, training with Walker after, and then hanging with everybody after training. I made a mistake finishing those fifty push-ups, because now Walker knows I can do it, so now I’m forced to every day. He’s also started adding on some running around the pack, but that’s something we all do together, so at least it’s usually entertaining.Luckily, Walker gave me today off, because it’s finally prom day! Mia came over early and my mom took us to get our nails, hair and make-up done. We take a break after getting our nails done to go get some lunch at the cafe my mom and I both frequent.We sit there eating for a little while, before my mom looks at me anxiously. “Are you sure you’re going to be safe tonight? I don’t like that I won’t be right next door in case you need me.” I sigh, because we’ve talked about this several times over the past few weeks. “Mom, I’ll be fine. I doubt Liam will leave my side all night. And if he does I’m sure Dallas
I’m just looking around the limo amazed, when Liam leans down close to my ear. “Do you like it?” I smile, “Of course! It’s beautiful, Liam. Thank you!” I look into his eyes, and he smirks, “Nothing is as beautiful as you, Amy. I’m so happy you came with me tonight, I want to make it magical.” I start to smile, but before I can his lips find mine. I’ll never get enough of him, I wish this feeling could last forever, but I know it.... No! I can’t think like that, not tonight. I promised myself I was just going to live tonight, no thinking of the future, no thinking of the past, just in the moment, with my amazing friends and amazing Liam.When he pulls away, I hold onto the side of his tux making eye contact, “You look very handsome tonight, Liam.” I say with all the confidence that I usually never feel, he smirks and I pull him in for another kiss. I’m honestly not sure what all happened in the limo on the way to the restaurant, because I was a little preoccupied, but before I know it
A few days later, and it’s time for Mia’s birthday! We’ve already decided to add some security to this party to make sure Clara isn’t able to come start drama. So, I’m actually looking forward to it now. My mom again agrees to let me skip my schoolwork, and as soon as I wake up, I start filling up the water balloons.Dimitri walks inside the back door, he started acting like this is his home. I can’t say for sure, but I think him and my mom have something going on. It’s about time, I haven’t ever seen her with anyone. He looks at me and starts laughing, “What are you doing?” He asks, and I join in with him. “Just a bit of pre-party fun for Mia and the guys.” He smiles kindly as he grabs a bottle of water from the fridge.“Those boys really seemed to like you two. Looked like you had a lot of fun at prom.” My face reddens, because he was here when Liam ‘dropped me off’ but didn’t leave until the next morning. I hide my face but nod to him. He comes closer to me, with his hand outstretc
While his body is turned towards his dresser, I peel off my soaking wet shirt and throw it to the side. He looks back when he hears the splatter sound on the ground. Then looks up at me with wide eyes. He leaves the clothes he’s brought out of the dresser there and walks up to me slowly. I stare him in the eyes his whole walk to me. While he’s watching me, I reach back and unclip my bra and throw it to the side with my shirt. He takes a sharp intake of breath, but doesn’t move forward to touch me. I hesitate, then move down and unbutton my jeans. I peel them off slowly, still trying to keep eye contact. I stand up straight and I see his eyes slowly look over my body, that only has underwear on it.He takes off his shorts and slowly walks closer to me. He pulls me into his arms and kisses me passionately. He pulls away slightly, “Are you sure?” He asks, giving me a look that I know means if I want to back out I can. Which makes me want him more. I nod my head and pull him closer to my
The party starts around nine, and Mia has me dancing with her in the middle of the room. She’s so excited and everybody’s yelling happy birthday to her. She hasn’t really gotten a big party like this before, she always wanted to spend her birthdays with me, and me being the outsider I was, wouldn’t go to any big parties. She’s seventeen now, and beyond excited about being able to find her mate in a year. I think she secretly wants it to be Walker, but she’s to stubborn to admit it. She says they’re just having fun, until one of them finds their mate.I wish I truly understood the importance of a mate. The love that you find in one, like they’re the missing part of your soul. The never-ending confidence that comes along with it. When I think about it, all I do is picture Liam. But that’s the thing, it can’t be the same thing. It’s extremely rare for a wolf to mate with a human, and I don’t understand those feelings. Would it even feel the same for the human? Would the human have the fe
I look over her body again not believing she didn’t do anything. Dallas speaks up, “No, I don’t think she hurt her, but she definitely said something to her. She has her flight face on.” I look at Amy’s face and she looks like she wants to kill Dallas for betraying her. “What did she say?” I ask angrily. I’m so tired of this stupid bitch trying to ruin things between Amy and me. But fuck Dallas is right, she definitely has her flight face on.Amy looks down at her feet, and just shakes her head. I pull her face back up to look at me, and I can see she’s fighting hard to not cry. Fuck. I look at her sternly trying to make her cave. “She didn’t say anything I didn’t already know.” She says, and then angrily pulls herself out of my arms and starts heading inside, leaving Dallas and I to follow her.‘Did you catch anything?’ I ask Dallas over mind-link. I see him watching her, like she’s going to explode. ‘Yeah, she was talking to me about being worried about you finding a mate. Then, Cla
This last week has been the hardest of my life, that’s including all the beatings I’ve received. I stayed inside my house the entire time, trying to focus on school work, but mostly crying. I told the guards that I didn’t want Liam in my house, and so far, they’ve followed my instructions. I haven’t seen the guys much either, they mostly come to convince me that nothing happened between Clara and Liam. I don’t one hundred percent think anything happened between them; Clara likes to lie. But everything else I said was true. We had an end date anyway; this was bound to happen sooner or later.I walk downstairs, rubbing my neck under the clasp of my necklace. I think the clasp Liam fixed has come loose, because it’s starting to hurt a little. My mom sets down my breakfast and watches me. She’s been super concerned since everything went down between Liam and I, and I haven’t been answering many of her questions.“What’s wrong? Does your neck hurt?” She asks worried, walking up to me to in
My body shakes in Liam’s arms as he makes me cum for a third time. And we hear a knock at the door.Our breathing labored I glance towards the door, while Liam lays his head into my neck, sighing. “You should probably save some water for the other patients.” Cole laughs, and I groan. Having had forgotten that there were other people in my room.Goddess, how much did they hear?Liam chuckles, ‘Just enough to leave quickly.’ He says in my head, and I groan again. “Let’s get you dressed. You have company.” He says smiling as he places me on my feet.Once I’m dried and dressed I make my way out of the bathroom. Falling to my knees to grab hold of my babies as they race towards me.“Oh, I missed you two so much!” I say between kissing their faces and hair. They giggle, “We missed you too, Mommy!” Heather exclaims, squeezing me tighter.“Mommy, grandma and grandpa say the bad man is gone! We can finally be home!” I smile widely and nod. A tear of happiness falling from my eye. Finally!Liam
While I’m happy I got to spend more time with my mom, I hate that she had no options in life other then to die. I grab my mom’s hand and squeeze.She gives me a reassuring smile, “I’m happy, Sweetheart. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be around for you and to watch those to babies grow up, but you’re safe now and I’m so happy it’s finally over for you.”I sigh, is it though? I’m still here. I’m still not with them.I look at my mom thinking about that. “How are you here? I thought he took souls when he killed them?” I ask.She smiles and looks over at the Goddess, “It had something to do with the fact that I’m a wolf, and the fact I was wearing my necklace. She brought me here after I passed and now, I’m essentially hiding.” She explains, with a shrug.I swallow, “For all time? Can you do that?” I ask, looking over at the Goddess, who nods. “As long as she’s wearing the necklace, I don’t see why not.”I nod slowly, then a pain radiates through my stomach. I clutch my stomach, and my m
I stare at the ceiling from the hospital bed they’ve put me on. I felt her come back, I felt the bond snap back together, but how long til it happens again.The amount of pain that caused. My heart felt like it had been hit with a hammer and then stomped on for good measure. I’d rather die.How selfish does that make me? I know my kids are waiting for me, but they’re waiting for Amy too. I can’t look them in the eyes and tell them I once again failed their mother.I can’t go through this pain; I’d rather just be with her.A flashback of something she said hits me, when she was asking where the souls her father kill end up.If I die with her, will we end up in the same place? Will I get to hold her again, kiss her, be with her. We’ve already spent too much of this time apart. I can’t live the rest of my life without her.They won’t let me see her, and I know they think I’ll freak out again, which to be fair I can’t promise I won’t, but I need to see her.After watching Dallas’s sullen
I stare up at the gorgeous Goddess in awe. As much as I don’t want to be here, this is insane.“She says she can’t see anything here. What does that mean?” My mom asks the Goddess, frantically looking between the Goddess and me.The Goddess looks down at me, giving me a soft smile. “She’s not fully here, but not fully there either.” She explains, which only makes me more confused.“Wait. Does that mean I can go back?” I ask and she smiles, “That’s up to you. Do you want to go back? She asks, and I nod frantically. “Yes, please! How?” I ask, needing to be back to everyone.I love my mom with all my heart, but as someone who lost their mom, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Especially not my kids.I know Liam will be an amazing dad, but I’m all they’ve known for so long. And I’m sure Hazel and Nick, probably all of them will step up and help, but it’s not the same as having your mother with you. I don’t want to put them through that.“That’s up to you. Something must be keeping you here.”
They’re behind those double doors for hours.The rest of the pack has started coming back to their homes, on Walker’s orders. He sent a few warriors out to clean up the mess of Amy’s father, since we didn’t have time.The sun came up and we’re still waiting. No news is good news, right?I look over at Liam when I hear his phone start ringing. He’s still sitting in the same position, watching the doors. And he makes no move to answer his phone.We all know who it is, and I can understand why he doesn’t want to answer it, but he has to. They’ll think we’re all dead if he doesn’t.I crouch in front of him, and his eyes slowly move to mine. “I can’t.” He croaks out, like it physically pains him to talk. I nod my head and hold out my hand for his phone.He slowly moves his hand and grabs his phone from his pocket handing it over to me, when the line cuts off. I’m about to call back when it rings again.I stand up and walk outside, not sure if it’ll be the kids or not, and not wanting Liam
When I open my eyes all I see is white. Where that hell am I?I spin around and still see nothing but white, as I stand here in the middle of nowhere… no, middle of nothing. ‘Liam?’ I try to talk to him, through my mind, but all I get is silence.‘Leah?’ I ask next, hoping I’m not completely alone. ‘I’m here, Amy.’ I let out a breath of relief. ‘Where is here?’ I ask her, hoping she’ll understand this better than me. She sighs, ‘I… I’m not sure.’I swallow, then look around again, before I start walking. There’s nothing to base my movements on so I just walk, hoping to find anything.The pain in my side is gone and to my surprise for the first time in forever, my body feels… Healthy? Goddess, I don’t think I even felt this way when I was younger.My footsteps stop. ‘Amy?’ Leah questions why I stopped, clearly our communications are not as good here, since she can’t just read my thoughts.‘I feel free.’ I tell her and she whimpers, clearly understanding now. Feeling this way, could onl
“No, no, no, no, no.” I whisper, as I fall to the ground with Amy clutched in my arms.Everyone was evacuated into the tunnels while we took care of this, our doctor is down there. I mind-link him to get him up here as soon as possible.Dallas falls to Amy’s other side grabbing hold of her wound and pressing to keep the blood in. Déjà vu slams into me, we’ve been here before. Covered in her blood, because of the same bastard as this time.I can’t breathe, I can’t think.Dallas looks over at me and says something, but I can’t hear him. I can’t lose her not again. Not after everything. I just can’t.This was supposed to be the end of him, not her. She was so worried about no one else dying, that she didn’t realize what would happen to us if she did.Dallas is screaming at me now, but he might as well be in another country, my mind isn’t working, I only know because my eyes are. And I can see him yelling, just like I can see Amy’s lifeless body in my arms, while her blood pours out aroun
‘Amy?’ Liam shouts in my head, desperately. ‘Don’t move! I’m fine.’ I yell back, already knowing he was about to give up all of this and come to help me, but we’re not there yet.‘Amy…’ Liam growls, clearly not wanting to listen, but I can’t respond.His hands wrap around my neck. “You think you’ve won this girl?” He spits at me, as I claw at his arms trying to remove him from my neck. He leans in close to me, “The great part about spells and rituals is they require a witch. And lucky for me yours is right over there.” He says, nodding his head towards Hazel.Though luckily for the plan, she’s not where she was a moment ago.It was up to me to get him riled up. To make him sloppy and hyper-focused. Also, lucky for me that he has the fuse of a bottle rocket, and it took next to nothing.Someone just doesn’t like having his ego dampened.A cruel smile crosses my face as I glance behind him, “You sure?” I croak out, with what little air I had to spare. Then Hazel’s hands, covered in I do
It feels wrong, being this far away from Liam, when everything is about to go down, but there’s nothing that can be done since we’re going this route.I hate this with every fiber of my being. I hate the fact that they’re all putting themselves in danger, again, to help me. If anyone gets hurt… ‘Stop. We all love you and want this for you. And don’t even pretend that you wouldn’t be the first on board to do this, if it was one of us instead of you.’ Liam says into my mind, and I sigh. ‘I love you.’ I tell him, still thinking of what could happen.I understand what he’s saying, but it really doesn’t make it that much easier. My main concerns are everyone making it out of this and Liam and I can get our kids back here safely.They deserve to not grow up like I did. They deserve the world, and hopefully this will make that happen for them.Mia walks over to Hazel and me, putting her phone in her pocket. “Dallas and Nick are in position and so is Walker.” She says, and I nod. “Liam too.”
