Heartache in Yellowstone Welcoming
MIKE POV "Alright, Stan said she is good with meeting all of us. Just remember she isn't accustomed to pack life. Maybe half of us should sit down. This many shifters is intimidating," Dan says as he moves Angelica to his hip. Benji and Boyd chuckle a bit while I smirk. "Yeah, because three guys holding babies looks really intimidating," Lewis says as he looks down at Andrew. Sam and Mariah laugh as Dan looks around the room in confusion for a second. The confusion doesn't last long, though, and he chuckles as he looks at his daughter."I guess we don't look all that threatening," Dan says just as the doorknob turns, and the three of them walk in. Nerves bubble in my stomach as Carmen takes off her coat and follows behind Tabitha, looking scared and small. "Everyone, this is Carmen. Carmen, starting from the left, is Mike, whom you already met, Finley, Boyd, Lewis with baby Andrew, Mariah, Benji with baby Trevor, Samantha, and my brother Daniel with his daughter Angelica

TABITHA POV "So how are you liking it," I ask Carmen as I sip my coffee. She finishes making a cute mushy face at Trevor and looks at me. "I love it. Babies are the best people to surround yourself with," Carmen replies and I get that familiar twang about her words. I nod and take another sip of my coffee. Decaf doesn't do much for my day, but I like and need the taste. "That's good. Are you still doing good with the fact we are all shifters," I ask cautiously and Carmen smiles? Trevor tries to regain her attention by pulling her hair and she puts him on her hip. "Honestly I was worried when I accepted the job, but after being here for a week I can say you all are the best people I have ever been around. I don't even think about the fact you can shift into animals anymore. You are all supportive and loving...it's refreshing," Carmen says and I notice the fullness in her cheeks. She looks much healthy and her eyes don't hold as much fear as they did when we first met

Rage has turned the blood in my veins into lava. My skin is hot and the fire in my chest is blazing. How dare she run from me. How dare she go against my orders. I told her to remain in the house until I returned. Her needs were taken care of. There was absolutely no reason for her to leave our home. I slam my fist into her dresser and the wood crumbles. She thinks I hit her before? I was controlling my strength with every strike. The stupid human has no idea what kind of damage I could really do to her. Every strike was controlled and for a purpose, but she never understood. I was trying to make her better. I was trying to turn her into a mate I actually deserve. "Nick, her scent is long gone. She must have taken off right after you left," my brother says as he comes strolling into the room I shared with my mate. I march across the rubble-covered floor and grab his throat. "This room is private. Don't ever step foot in it again," I growl, and he whimpers like the weak

CARMEN POV His eyes are so gentle. They don't make me scared, but I feel exposed when they are on me. Like Mike can see everything that I am trying to hide. Every scar or nervous tick is exposed to his searching gaze. I find myself wondering what is going through his mind as he looks at me. Is he disgusted like Nick was? Does he pity me? I'm not interesting. I'm not beautiful. It must be pity. "I think it's her naptime," I whisper and Mike chuckles as he spots the droopy-eyed little girl sitting in the corner with toys in her lap. "I think you're right. I will carry her. I haven't held her in a while...That probably sounds weird to you since I'm not her Dad, but there's a reason...I promise. In a small pack like ours, we like to keep the scents of the pups mixed with ours. It helps if the pup is ever lost or in danger...most predators know the scent of adult shifters. They fear us," Mike explains as he stands and I nod while pushing my lips together. His discomfort is

STANLEY POV I watch Tabitha closely as Sam and Mariah soothe her with gentle words. I know we are all shaken by what we just saw, but my mate seems to be taken it the worst."Any idea who this Nick guy is," Dan whispers and I shake my head without altering my gaze.Stress is beginning to creep its way through my body and depressing thoughts are filling my head. Shameful thoughts...I was already keeping an eye on the grieving Alpha and his pack, now we have to worry about an abusive ex. Our pack has had so much to deal with...should we be adding more? Mariah and Tabitha are both pregnant. Adding Carmen into our home has brought yet another danger. "We all need to talk," I mumble lowly before meeting my brother's eyes. He nods and I jerk my head toward the door. The rest of the guys follow and I lead them to the barn. My stomach twists into one big knot as I walk, but my wolf ignores it. We have to think like a mate now. We have to think like a father. I swing the barn door ope

MIKE POV The adrenaline from my fight with Stan hasn't left my system yet, but I can't stay away from her. She might wake up while I am calming down and I don't want that. I want to be there with her. She deserves my presence and attention while she goes through this. "Mike," Boyd says as he sees me heading for the guest wing and I growl. I know he wants me to calm down some more before I go see her, but I don't care. I have to prove that I am someone she can rely on. "Mike," Boyd snaps again as he grabs my forearm. He turns me around and my anger fully returns. Anything preventing me from checking on her deserves to be removed. I try to punch him, but he catches my hand. I glare at him as he stares me down without a hint of fear. "If you go in there right now she is going to be terrified. You look angry. You are covered in blood and half-naked. Wake the fuck up. If you care about this girl then you will calm down and get cleaned up before you go check on her," Boyd

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

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 Genders
TABITHA POV I take a few more deep breaths before leaning forward to apply my mascara. I have been feeling anxious since Hurst did the ultrasound to measure our baby. He said everything looked good and sealed the gender in a small envelope before passing it to Stanley. Waiting three days to know what was written on that tiny piece of paper has been torturous. I finish my makeup and head out of the bathroom to find Stanley wearing a shirt that has one side pink and the other one blue. I instantly smile and cross my arms. Compared to my simple white dress he looks extremely colorful. "You look adorable," I say with a grin, and he does a twirl with his arms held out wide. "I am so excited to know," Stan says and I nod while biting my lip so I don't laugh. He sees the humor on my face though and walks towards me smirking. "Am I amusing you, Tabitha," he asks while pulling me to him and I can't help but giggle a little. "A little," I admit and he kisses my lips. "G
Heartache in Yellowstone Trouble
MIKE POV "I don't regret having sex with you. This has been the best day of my life! I messed it up by taking it too far. I can't even properly explain what I did wrong," I say and her tear-streaked face looks puzzled for a brief second. I know she is thinking back to what happened and what she felt when I marked her. I can't believe I lost control of myself. I took away her choice, plus I hurt her. I vowed to never do either of those things and I failed her. Suddenly Carmen begins to laugh while tears continue to cascade from her eyes. I instantly get even more worried. I can't believe I have broken her this completely. "You chose me as your life partner. You marked me," she says happily after a few tense moments and I stare at her utterly bewildered. She wipes her face completely disregarding her makeup. She ends up looking like she has bruised eyes, but I don't care. "Yes. I... Aren't you upset," I ask cautiously and she shakes her head? "Of course not. T
Heartache in Yellowstone Lovemaking
CARMEN POV rated R The grip Mike's hands have on my hips feels so good. It's like he is anchoring me to the floor because he knows I might float away. I am so blown away by the fact Mike hasn't been with anyone. It makes me feel less anxious about what we are about to share. Mike's hands leave my hips and slide up my stomach to my breasts. When his hand squeezes my B-cup breasts my loins begin to blaze with desire.I moan into his mouth when he squeezes my breast a second time and he takes that as a sign because, in the next second, he scoops me up. He walks to his bed and lays me down so gently my heart melts. I keep my eyes on him as he steps back from me and I giggle when I see him removing his clothes as if he is in a race. But my giggle doesn't last for long as his thick muscular body comes into view. I know my mouth is hanging open as I look him over but I don't care. He is practically scrumptious. His creamy skin is flawless and the V-line above his impressive package i
Heartache in Yellowstone Knock out
MIKE POV pg13 Another loud thud rips through the air from the tack room and Boyd growls under his breath. "I fucking hate him. He is throwing a fit and making the horses skittish," Boyd grumbles extremely low and I nod before leaning my fork against the wall and removing my gloves. I nod toward the stall door and Boyd copies me by taking off his gloves."Now," he asks and I nod. I am tired of the tension this wolf brings to the pack. We are slowly letting our raised fur go down and this guy is ruining our progress. He hates ranch life, but we didn't ask for the council to send him. We step out of the stall and spot a broken shovel in the middle of the walkway. "Killian," I snap, and the asshole comes stomping out of the tackle room. "What," he barks back and Boyd steps to my side. He runs his eyes over our united front for a second before losing the tension in his shoulders."What the hell are you doing," I ask looking toward the broken equipment and back to him. He
Heartache in Yellowstone Makeover
CARMEN POV "You look so mature now," Tabitha whispers as Sam continues to line my lips with a steady hand. They haven't let me peek in the mirror at their work yet but the way Sam keeps pausing to stare at me has me guessing I look good. When they pulled me into Sam's bathroom I didn't really know what the plan was, but they got to work like they rehearsed this plan daily.Tabitha grabbed manicure items and got to work on my fingernails. Sam began exfoliating my face. Mariah was put in charge of my hair and I have been pleasantly surprised at how gentle her hands can be. Forty-five minutes later and my hands look elegant, my face has makeup on it, and Mariah has started to put the hot tools away. "You are going to knock his socks off, Carmen," Sam says with a mischievous smirk that makes me feel a little shy. "Your hair is so thick! I am jealous," Mariah says from behind me and I giggle a little. "Don't be jealous of me. I am a broken, weak human girl. You three are gorge
Heartache in Yellowstone Looking Inward
RATED R TABITHA POV "There you are," Stan says as he opens our bathroom door to find me washing my face. I give him a smile and try to hide my pity for his new state. My poor mate can't find me by smell any longer and that hurts. He has to strain his weak ears or spot me with dull eyes to know where I am. While I can still pinpoint him by sniffing the air. I know if I were unable to smell his alluring scent I would be devastated. "Sorry, I figured you knew," I reply and he brushes it off with a wave of his hand while continuing toward me. "As long as I found you I don't care," he whispers before pulling me toward him by my hips. I smile and drape my arms around his neck. "Oh really," I whisper back playfully, and he smirks before kissing my jaw. "Yes really," he mumbles before continuing down my neck. My lady regions flare to life as his tongue and warm breath dance along my flesh. Every night, since he gave me the okay has been like this for us. Constant touching and sex t
Heartache in Yellowstone Interested
CARMEN POV I gasp as Mike's hot breath fans my neck and his hands grab my waist from behind. Tingles erupt in places I thought were dead and he chuckles before pecking my cheek. "Morning, cutie," he says cheerfully and I manage to swallow down the extra saliva in my mouth so I can answer him. "Morning," I reply and he shoots me a wink before taking his coat off. The slightly warmer weather has been keeping Mike in his long sleeve shirts rather than his coat and my feminine needs have definitely noticed how tight the fabric wraps around his biceps. As Mike walks away from the coat rack to begin shoveling out the stalls my eyes zero in on his thick thighs and cute butt. My heart rate increases and my ears begin to get hot. How can that man be into me? He belongs in calendars hanging able high school girls' beds. "Better wipe that drool from your chin," Finley whispers as he walks past me, and I jump before doing just that. My face burns scarlet red and I disappear
Heartache in Yellowstone Calm
STANLEY POV I breathe deeply so the faint scent of roses can waft up my new human nose and I smile. Her warm body feels so good pressed into my cold one. I missed her and I know she missed me. I wish I could still hear our pup inside her, but I will take what I can get. I kiss the top of her head and she shifts a little in her sleep. It feels strange to be so calm, but I have nothing to stress about now. I only want to think about my mate and our family. I am done worrying and working in town. Every minute of the rest of my life will be spent on this land with my mate. I don't want to waste a moment on anything that isn't truly important ever again. And the only important things are my loved ones. I smile again as I give Tabitha a weak squeeze. Before the Mother Luna left she made a promise to our pack. A promise of protection from any more outside forces. She said the shifter world owes us a great debt due to how many threats we have eliminated, starting with Graham Layne.
Heartache in Yellowstone Resurrected
As the pack sat and waited anxiously for The Luna to arrive, Daniel and Forest continued to act strange. They seemed to be as excited as children the night before Christmas. Tabitha and Sam weren't at all pleased with their behavior. The pack was still in mourning and would be for a while, but they seemed overjoyed to have a visitor dropping in during this difficult time. Mike and Carmen didn't seem to mind the lighter mood. It seems they were experiencing their first few moments as a couple since Mike had yet to release Carmen's hand. Carmen didn't mind the contact with the muscular cowboy. In fact, she was loving it. Darcy and Killian didn't sit on the couches with the pack which really rubbed Finley the wrong way. His eyebrows were pulled down over his warm chocolate eyes making them look dark and gloomy. His hands were curled into tight fists and his clenched jaw was making the young shifter look more severe. After an hour of uncomfortable silence and scattered conver
