Heartache in Yellowstone Trust
CARMEN POV My heart and mind are torn. I have this big rugged cowboy sitting next to me saying he will protect me and my heart wants to fall for him. But my head is more cautious than my heart. My head remembers the pain and fear I have lived through with Nick."Yes, really. I...Carmen, I had a mate. She didn't want me. Her and her sister wanted males with Alpha bloodlines. I am not an Alpha. I will never lead a pack, nor do I want to. What I do want...I want to always protect you. I want to see you smile and giggle. I would love to win your heart, but I know that might not happen. I am okay with that. I have chosen you and wolves mate for life. Even if you don't want me I will always be the shadow following and protecting you," Mike declares, and my eyes widen to an almost painful level. "Why," I whisper, and he smiles. He slowly reaches across the blanket and gently takes my hand. So gently that no warning bells go off. Fear doesn't slide down my spine...In fact, the opposite
Heartache in Yellowstone Preparations
STANLEY POV "Where's Mike," I ask as my mate buries herself against my chest. I quickly wrap my arms around her. Worry pricks at me instantly and my ears check for the steady rhythm of our pup's heartbeat. Once I have reassured myself that my family is intact I relax a little. "He's with Carmen," Sam says as the rest of the pack comes filing into the living room. "Why the urgent text, Sam? Is something wrong," Finley asks and I look at my sister-in-law's worried face. Daniel throws his arm over her shoulders and Tabitha reluctantly pulls herself out of my arms. I watch her curiously with my arms still a little outstretched as she tucks a piece of her blonde hair behind her ears. I spot the dried trail of tears on her face and I am anxious again immediately. "Carmen has injuries on her back from her ex-boyfriend. She told Mike about them and he asked us to look at them," Tabitha says as she gestures between her and Sam. Mariah steps away from Benji with a deep fr
Heartache in Yellowstone Smart
STAN POV My legs are dead. I haven't run that much in years. Even my wolf is out of shape and wanted to stop before our patrol was over.The shifters of old would be proud. I groan as I stretch my back and tug on the warm clothes I left in the barn. I am eager to go eat and climb into bed next to my mate. I haven't heard my family's heartbeats in six hours. I missed them. "Stan," a sharp voice snaps and I spin around in surprise. I search the dark wall behind me as my heart tries to jump out of my chest. "Hell, Mariah! You scared the crap out of me," I gasp as I spot the petite brunette hidden against the wall. "And that's how easily a skilled assassin would have killed you," she says, and I stiffen. I look over her appearance in shock. She made sure I wouldn't see her when I came in by rubbing manure and muck all over her body. Her scent isn't detectable and she doesn't have an inch of skin visible. The brown texture matches her hair and eyes perfectly. If she hadn't
Heartache in Yellowstone Meeting
CARMEN POV As I look around at the people I have come to trust a little bit my anxiety spikes. I can't read the room and I am guessing this has to do with my injuries... Not to mention who they are from apparently.I bite my bottom lip and glance around again. Finley and Lewis seem clueless, maybe even tired. Tabitha and Sam look worried. Daniel and Stanley look determined, while Mike looks scared. Benji definitely looks angry and Mariah's face is blank. Boyd is watching his brother and analyzing my face. The cook is watching the babies for me, but even her face seemed off when I saw her. I feel terrible. I brought this to their door and they were just trying to help me. This is all my fault. I should have never left Nick. I made him mad a lot of the time, but I was the only one who could calm him down too. Now I have unleashed an angry ex-boyfriend shifter on these wonderful people. The kids I watch and am falling in love with are in danger because of me... Mike is in danger. "I
Heartache in Yellowstone Assassins
STANLEY POV Benji's stress is clear to all of us. He hasn't been able to stop pulling at his hair or stand still. Tabitha and Sam keep on giving him worried glances, but Mariah is acting as stone-faced as ever. "So who would you trust then," Daniel asks Mariah after she runs through a short list of people she knew from her work. "Garth. He is older and more experienced... He never asks questions and his rate is the same every time. His kills are clean and untracable. He moves around and keeps his nose clean. The others used their earning for more... They are just rougher. Not nice and they could easily turn on us if paid more. Garth doesn't negotiate. He gets a kill order he fulfills it. No one talks him into switching teams. That would be the person I recommend," Mariah says flatly and I glance at Carmen's calm face. She fell asleep against Mike before we were even done with the main meeting. I guess knowing we were on her side made her calm enough to sleep some more. I t
Heartache in Yellowstone Love
TABITHA POV I sigh as the last of my face soap rinses from my skin. I grab my hand towel and blot the remaining moisture from my skin on autopilot. My mind is a thousand miles away flying high in the air with Mariah, Benji, and Lewis. I can't help but be concerned for them, but I know they have to go. "You have been in here a long time. Are you okay," Stanley asks as he comes in and leans against the bathroom counter. "I'm just worried. So much can happen and so much has happened... I just wish we could live our lives. Death has been so constant it's becoming normal," I whisper and he tucks a piece of my damp hair behind my ear. "They will be okay," Stanley says as he looks over my face with his gentle gaze. I nod and bite my lip. My emotions surge once more and tears build in my eyes. Pregnancy hormones mixed with my compassionate nature have turned me into such a crybaby. "Come here," Stanley whispers and I move into his embrace happily. I curl my arms under myself and he wr
Heartache in Yellowstone Infatuated
CARMEN POV I pull at the dry piece of skin next to my fingernail nervously as we all wait for the trio to pull into the driveway. It took a little longer than Mariah predicted to find her assassin friend and the whole pack has been worried. If it weren't for Lewis keeping everyone posted on what was happening I think Daniel would have sent everyone on a search. "Stop that," Mike whispers and I look up to find his brown eyes watching me. I bite my lip and still my fingers instantly which makes him smile. "They are okay. The plan worked. Our assassin has been hired and he is hunting Nick this very second," Mike whispers and I nod even though I haven't been able to shake the nagging feeling of being a burden. Mike slowly takes my hand in his and my heart flutters a little before he looks away again. Benji's silver car rounds the last bend and we all sigh in relief at the same time. When they get stopped and Mariah steps out Samantha basically tackles her. "I
Heartache in Yellowstone Double date
MIKE POV "It's been two days. Shouldn't we have heard something," I ask and Mariah shakes her head. She kisses Trevor's cheek and hands him to Lewis before walking toward me. She grabs my arm and drags me to a corner. Irritation is rolling off of her in waves, but I don't care. This is about Carmen's safety. "I've told you. The first day or two you learn about your target. You trace their whereabouts. Garrett likes to plan things out completely before making a move. That's why his kills are clean. He stays off the map and he doesn't associate with anyone he deems unworthy. He will get the job done. If Nick has hired someone I am assuming it will be someone cheap. Someone that will have to search for a few weeks using the back channels. Carmen only having cash was a good thing. She had a prepaid phone and no social media accounts. I have searched for her using my ways just to check and I couldn't find a photo of her anywhere near Wyoming," Mariah says and I nod. "Fine, bu
