DominicMy wolf was mad at me. Heck, I was angry at myself. I should have done more. Bri said she felt like she was being followed. I never found evidence of it. There were no new scents. I should have paid attention to those around us. Those I thought we knew. If I had, maybe I would have noticed Alex's scent all over the place. I could only blame myself for not noticing it. My wolf blamed me as well and refused to acknowledge me until we found our mate and she was safe again. The fact the witches have tried spell after spell and none of them have worked in finding Bri didn't help. The coven has been locked in Luna Lucy's office for two days now. Blake kept his trackers out searching even though we already knew it was pointless. There was no way of tracking a car we didn't know anything about. To pass the time, I paced Blake's office floor, waiting for the witches to have good news. All I needed was a location. Once I had that, I could go get my mate. The office door opened as Luna
BriI could still hear Alpha Jerk face, angrily giving orders to whoever stayed at the end of the hall from my cell. I was still lying on the concrete slab bench of my cell. Yet, at the same time, it was like I was with Dominic in a room I didn't recognize. With a handful of women chanting something, I couldn't understand what they were saying. Landon and Angel stood behind me with a hand on my shoulders while Blake stood in front of me, holding my hand. No, they weren't touching me. They were touching Dominic. But that couldn't be right. I could feel them touching me. Only when I looked down, it was definitely Dominic's hand in Blake's. "What's going on?" I was so confused. How could I feel them touching me when I wasn't there? How could I feel as if I was with Dominic but couldn't see him unless I looked down? Had I fallen asleep? If so, what a strange dream. "Wolf, tell me what you know. Quickly I will not be able to hold you here with your mate for long." Lucy's voice came out
DominicBy the time Landon, Angel, and I got back to our feet, Lucy was conscious again. She was even already back on her feet. The six other witches in the room were also already moving. Two of them were changing out the candles that were in the room. Switching the white candles out for different colored ones, red, blue, brown, and green. Two of them were changing out some of the markings they had drawn on the floor. And the last two were mixing several different things from jars they had sitting on Lucy's desk that had been pushed off to the side. Lucy seemed to recover pretty quickly and moved away from Blake, ignoring his attempts to look her over to make sure she was ok. Gathering a couple of maps, she placed them in the middle of the room on the floor. "Angel, I will need you to stand there."Moving, she took Angel's hand and dragged her where she wanted her. Turning, Lucy moved over to her desk, taking two cups from the two that had been mixing things. The two followed Lucy ba
BriBeing left on my own, I sat down on the floor of my cell. Drinking the entire contents of the bottle of water and whatever was mixed into it wasn't the best of ideas after not having something for so long. My stomach wasn't happy. However, I didn't have long to think about it as my stomach stopped doing flips, and my vision blurred. It wasn't like before when I was being taken. Though I definitely felt like I was going to pass out, and I did seconds later. Only everything didn't go black. It was like I blinked. And one second, I was sitting on the floor of my cell, and the next, I was standing in the dark room with Lucy and Angel. This time I was myself, and the guys were no longer there. Everyone else was, though. Although the other witches were chanting still, they were saying something different. Lucy didn't let me look around long, only half a second, before pulling my attention to her. "We don't have long. I need you to agree and except Dominic has already agreed and taken
DominicMy wolf didn't make the trip there easy. The whole time he complained we were moving too slowly. But in reality, we made really good time. Getting to the Gold Crest Pack's outermost borders in just under three hours. If the mark on the map was correct, Bri was being kept in the centermost spot of this pack's territory. Blake ordered a handful of wolves to move away from the rest of us. Moving out, they noted everything relevant to how this pack watched over their land. After a little over an hour and my wolf nearly going completely mad, Blake ordered half the pack to shift. Everyone moving as one, we crossed The Gold Crest Pack's border without hesitation. Moving through a spot, we noticed their patrols didn't pass by more than once in an hour. We made it all the way through the pack's territory without being noticed. Whoever this Alpha was that took Bri didn't do a good job securing his territory. Actually, he was really bad at it, especially since we were able to basically
BriThe longer we stood in the clearing, the clearer the whole pack became. I was able to hear everything they were saying to each other. A head count for this pack was being done. There were way fewer members than I thought there could be. There was also Blake giving orders to the pack through the link, even while talking out loud and egging Sam on. Though I didn't let the opportunity to prove Blake right go by. As he mentioned me flinching at the guys who were to guard me, I did just that, leading to them all losing their cool. Although, having members from our pack move in and stand right behind the guys without them noticing wasn't all that nice. Though hard to keep a straight face, I tried not to laugh too hard at my guards as they got scared twice. The chains holding my hands together were removed quickly once I was no longer being surrounded by several guys from the other pack. My wolf wanted to instantly go to our mate. But I needed, no, I wanted to do something else first. M
Bri Life seemed to even out and stayed consistent for Dominic and me for the first two years of my teaching career. Then things changed again for the two of us. Though I wasn’t sure, I was ready for it. Heck, I wasn’t sure I was prepared to even look at the test results as I stood in my bathroom with Angel waiting for the test to finish. I was so nervous I could hardly contain myself. If the test was negative, I was sure I would be heartbroken. It has only been a few months since I haven't been on any form of birth control. We decided that we wanted kids but would let things happen as they pleased. We weren't actively trying, but more like if it happens, then it happens. Well, at least that's how Dominic put it. "Will you calm down? You're making me nervous just watching you." Angel was sitting on the bathroom counter, watching me. She had taken the timer from me a minute ago because I kept looking at it. I stopped my pacing and sat on the ledge of the bathtub. "Sorry. I'm just n
BriThe next few months were hectic, to say the least. There was a lot to get ready, and after a lot of convincing, Dominic allowed me to help with some of it. He even let me leave the house to go and teach my classes so long as he drove me to and from. We turned a room that had always been used as storage into the baby's room. We chose not to find out the sex. We opted for gender-neutral colors going with yellows and greens. By the time my due date came around, I was more than happy to let Dominic spoil me. I had finished the last of my classes for the summer and was sure the doctor was lying about there only being one pup. I was huge and uncomfortable. I don't remember Angel getting so big with either of her pups. But the doctor assured me it was normal for alpha daughters to have bigger babies. And since my brother's mate seemed not to be able to have children, my firstborn son would become the next alpha.So here I lay in bed with my feet propped up and pillows stacked behind me s
