Her Alpha 24 Mother
His POV—Flashback“Mom?” I called her for the thousandth time, but she didn’t answer. I couldn’t even smell her in the heavy rain. I just went on blindly, deeper and deeper into the woods, not bothering with the pain in my ribs and face. Yesterday was quite a bad day. The old man went berserk again, and I know he hit her too after I passed out.“Mom!” I screamed again at the top of my lungs. She must be hurt. All she needed was a nasty cold from this stupid rain. I knew she wanted to get away a little, but I couldn’t let her be all alone. If something happened to her, I would surely go nuts.I suddenly got out of the forest and saw her. She was standing at the edge of a cliff, and my heart skipped a beat. What if she falls?“Mom,” I called silently, just loud enough for her to hear above the sound of the downpour, not wanting to surprise her.“Hi, my baby,” she turned to me with a smile and I instantly knew something was off.“What are you doing here, Mom? You will catch a cold in thi
Her Alpha 25 New day
It was still early in the morning and I was lying in our bed, studying him sleeping beside me. He seemed so calm and peaceful, I had to fight the urge not to touch him. I knew he would be awake the minute I did.We were together for three weeks now, but this was the very first time I actually saw him sleeping. He was a light sleeper. He woke even if I sneaked out to the toilet at night, and also got up ridiculously early in the morning. He usually let me sleep on until he attended some Alpha business, or woke me to have some sweet morning sex and have breakfast together.But it never happened before that I woke before him, so I just laid still and watched him. He seemed so peaceful in his sleep, finally looking like his actual age without his usual frown and serious gaze. Not like I haven’t loved his serious self, too, but he needed the rest now. Yesterday was a very long and emotionally demanding day for both of us.He snuggled closer to me, hiding his face between my breasts, and I
Her Alpha 26 Training
I had quite a busy day, but the afternoon found me on the training grounds with Marissa and eighteen other women.We did the usual stretches, and I felt myself relax with the all so familiar moves. It will be good to let some steam out, and Marissa wanted to have one-on-one fights in the second half of the training. It will be fun.From the corner of my eye, I saw the men going on with their own training at the other end of the field, this time led by Noah. It was usually Gabriel, but they made things so he could stay with Sabrina and the baby for a while.I turned away from them and went on with Marissa’s instructions. During training, she was in charge, and I followed her instructions like anyone else.When I first joined them, she explained that she did things a little different from what Gabriel did with the boys. She put a bigger emphasis on defense, as they had very few female warriors, and Duncan preferred keeping them back as a last line of defense.I concentrated on my body a
Her Alpha 27 Birthday girl
“Moiraaa” I woke to an otherwise lovely voice screaming my name, and in the next moment she jumped on me, making me lose my breath. “Wake up! It’s today” Rosie laughed, bouncing on the bed next to me.I managed to open my eyes and was met with her bright smile. She was already dressed, her hair neatly weaved in two. She was all ready to go, and I couldn’t even open my eyes properly.“Give her some time, baby. It is still early,” I heard Duncan say, but I could tell he was smiling even without looking. Rosie grew to love me quite fast, just like I adored her from day one and it made him happy.“Fine, but hurry up or you won’t have any of the pancakes!” she said, climbing off the bed and making a run towards the kitchen.“Sorry darling,” Duncan sat on the edge of the bed and kissed my forehead.“It’s okay. It is her day. Just give me twenty minutes, and I will be down,” I said, sitting up and kissing him.I got out of the bed and he left me alone. Getting into the bathroom, I made the s
Her Alpha 28 Fun day
Duncan found us right in front of the shop, with all the things neatly packed in a big paper bag. Rosie ran to him, and he got her in his arms, but I could tell something was off.“I will tell you later,” he told me through our link before I could ask anything.“Moira got me a whole lot of amazing stuff, and we even met a nice lady who draws pictures for books, and I got pencils just like hers,” Rosie informed him happily. “There was a really rude sales lady who said I was too small for these, but Moira told her ‘My girl is getting whatever she wants’ and she even told her she would tell the manager.”“Really?” he raised his eyebrow at me.“It was just an overzealous sales clerk,” I shrugged. “I didn’t actually talk to her boss.”“I think she is more preoccupied with you calling her your girl,” he said through our link as he put Rosie down and got her hand.I was surprised for a minute because I wasn’t even thinking when I said that and never thought my words would mean so much to her
Her Alpha 29 Show must go on
By the time we got home, the packhouse was full of people and bustle. We woke Rosie, and she walked by my side sleepily, but she forgot it all the moment we stepped inside.“Granny” she screamed happily and ran to a small, white-haired woman, hugging her tight. She was Abigail, Noah’s mom, and the only grandparent Rosie ever had. They simply adored each other.She lived down in the village in a lovely little house with a big garden. Both Rosie and Liv would spend a weekend with her every now and then, and that was how I met her for the first time. Duncan went to fetch the girls, and I tagged along. It was only a brief visit, but she accepted me immediately.She was a petite woman who seemed fragile, but I knew better already. She had bright blue eyes, and even though she was only 43, almost completely white hair. Noah said it grayed in less than a week after they lost his father.“Did you have fun, my angel?” she asked, caressing Rosie’s face.“Yes! Moira got me beautiful pencils and
Her Alpha 30 Second chance
“What happened?” I moaned, trying to focus in the dark room. Duncan jumped from the bed like a bee stung him and scared the hell out of me. It was 2 am, I managed to read the clock.“Another attack,” he groaned, pulling up his jeans. “They got through the patrol.”“Shit,” I jumped from the bed, too.I quickly dressed and ran after Duncan. I caught up to him in the main hall and grabbed his arm.“Tell me.”“Caleb got injured. They are taking him to the clinic,” he said as we headed there together now.When we arrived, the patrol was already there, with a quite bloody Caleb sitting on a chair.“Alpha, Luna,” they all bowed politely as we stepped in. Duncan studied them for a minute, and I did the same. They all seemed fine, except for the one Caleb who was in an awful shape. Who, if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t even on patrol duty tonight.“Explain,” Duncan ordered in a voice that made the members of the patrol flinch.“I’m sorry, Alpha,” one man stepped forward. He was the leader of this u
Her Alpha 31 Positive
I woke up alone in the bed, and it took me a minute to collect myself. It was half-past eight, so Duncan was probably in his office already. I dragged myself to the bathroom and opened the hot water, meeting my not too pretty reflection in the mirror.I felt as bad as I looked. I was sleepy and tired, and my stomach was already upset even though I haven’t eaten a thing yet. And that nausea made me remember what I almost forgot after everything that happened.I stopped the shower and went back to our room. I found my purse abandoned in the corner and dug up the two small boxes I hid there yesterday. Since Duncan left, it was as good a time as any, I thought, studying the instructions.I went back to the bathroom, and did everything as written, then stepped into the shower. The few minutes it took the test to show result would have been an eternity to wait, so I thought I would wash up in the meantime.The hot water always helped me relax, but now my hand was shaking as I reached for th
