AdamI was so humiliated. I couldn’t believe my wolf did nothing to hold his ground against Alpha Damion. He was even willing to submit to him willingly. So much so that we gave in and did as he told us to. Alison was no longer connected to us. She was no longer my mate. I accepted her rejection. There was no getting her back. Even if I wanted to, the connection would never be there again. Even if I could find a way to get her to be with me, it would be nothing more than what I had with Teresa. The bond between our wolves would never be the same. Though even if I had a chance before, there was absolutely no chance now. Not only had I accepted her rejection, but I had hurt her in the worst way right before. If her wolf made it through all that pain, there w/ay no way she would ever forgive me. That wasn’t my only problem currently, though. No, my problem now was my pack had just witnessed me, their Alpha, vulnerable. Alpha Damion made a spectacle of me. My pack watched as another Alph
AlisonStretching, I let my eyes open this time as I woke up. Surprised, I sat up in the bed. I wasn’t in a small hospital room as I thought I would be. I wasn’t even in my old childhood room as I was the last time I was brought back to the pack. What was even more confusing was I was in Owen’s bed with his bedroom furniture in the room with me. But this was not Owen’s bedroom. It was a slightly bigger room with crisp white, freshly painted walls. The floor was dark, hard wood with a large rug that covered the middle of the floor, running halfway under the bed and everything. Climbing out of the bed, I slowly made my way around the room. Opening one of the three doors in the room one by one. The first one led to a bathroom. Inside was a large clawfoot tub that set under a large stained glass window that would make seeing inside the room hard to do from the outside. To the right of the tub was a half wall that was the only separation from the rest of the bathroom and the shower. On th
*****One year later**** Alison Moving through the trees, I moved back toward home. My wolf slowed just as we passed the last of the trees before the clearing of our home set in. Slowing even more, I came to a stop a few dozen yards away from the house. Laying in the grass, I watched as Owen moved through the gate for the tiny goat yard. I watched as he put food out for the goats. It was hard to believe it had been a full year—a year of peace. For the first time in my life, since I was a kid, I actually felt like I was home. I didn't think living with the pack was something I would ever want to do. But I found peace knowing the pack was nearby. I had even befriended a few other members. One of which was Bryce, who helped me get a job within the pack. It wasn't much or anything extravagant. But working with the handful of kids within the pack that didn't have families helped me forgive the pack for leaving me to the humans, even with so many families within the pack. There were still
AdamIt took me nearly a year, but I finally had it. I had a dozen or so followers that wished to be in a pack. We didn't have a place to call our own just yet. But having a Luna for our pack was a good idea. It would make us appear stronger than we were. First, I had to make her understand she was still mine. That started with having her brought to me. I knew going myself would set off several red flags with the pack, so I sent my men. They will bring her to me, and given time, she will learn to love me. She had to. I was her mate. Pacing the front porch of the house we occupied currently, I worried something didn't go to plan. They should have been back by now. Glancing at my watch, I growled in annoyance. I shouldn't have trusted them. They were rogues, after all. None of them could be trusted. Why did I think they could do something as simple as bringing my mate to me? Continuing to pace the porch, I growled in frustration. I was going to have to figure out another way. Do it mys
AlisonAdam’s scent surrounded me. I didn’t need to open my eyes to know who was behind my kidnapping. Laying there, I kept my eyes closed as I took stock of myself. I was alright. I wouldn’t be able to shift because he placed another one of those collars around my neck. All my wolf would be able to do was continue to protect our baby, which she was doing a really good job of. It was going to be up to me to get us out of this. A task I am sure will be easier said than done. But I was up for the challenge. The car we were in slowed to a stop. I chanced a quick peek as I watched Adam put the car in park and climb out. I didn’t have a lot of time to plan or even think my escape through. I had just enough time to shift in the seat as he walked around to the other side of the car and opened the back door. Taking the opportunity, I kicked him hard. Landing my blow at his midsection, taking him off guard and making him stumble backward. Grabbing the door, I pulled it closed, hitting the loc
OwenWaking up, my head felt like someone had sucker punched me right in the temple. Only I know that's not what happened. I had been drugged while Alison was taken. Several pack wolves surrounded me, checking on me. All the while, I could hear Bryce there, already giving orders to follow her scent. Damion showed up just as I was being helped into a sitting position, taking over and giving orders to find Alsion. The van she was taken in was already being followed. The only problem was the members following it lost it after a while. Leaving the search to grow cold. At least until after dark when some of the guys picked up on the scent of the guys that took Alison. On Damion's orders, the guys were picked up and brought back to the pack. I will give it to the guys. They did well on holding out. It took Damion's guys nearly a week to get any information out of them. By then, it was too late. Adam was long gone with Alison. That didn't stop the search, though. We kept going. Damion calle
AlisonThe cabin was a little bigger than the one we stayed at before. I still had to sleep in the same bed as Adam. And for the first month with the cuffs on. But the bathroom had walls instead of a curtain. And the kitchen had a stove so we could cook. Adam didn’t let me out of his sight for the first month or so. Only letting me outside when he was there to watch me. Chaining me inside anytime he left. Occasionally, he would return with someone to look at the mark on my neck. Every one of them left with him angry because they said there was nothing they could do about it. My guess was he was looking for someone to remove it, which was impossible. But that didn’t stop him from trying. By the second month, he was leaving me alone without chaining me up. I was also allowed to sleep at night without the cuffs on connecting me to him. Without the chain on me, I was able to move freely throughout the whole cabin, versus being confined to the bathroom area and the bed. I used my newfound
OwenThe rest of the flight was done in silence. The others left me to my thoughts. By the time the plane landed, I was nervous beyond belief. Alison had been pregnant when she was taken, and they said that the she-wolf that was found was in the middle of giving birth. This could very well be her, in which case I was not simply going to be a father. But I was a father. I was not only on my way to hopefully see the love of my life. But also meet my baby. My baby? Was it a boy or a girl? Was it healthy? Was Alison healthy? She had been taken while she was pregnant. Did they make sure she had everything she needed? Had they provided her with any care at all during her pregnancy? They said she was in the middle of giving birth when she was found. Was there any complications? All these things I needed to know. I needed to see her. To look her over and be sure myself not only Alison was well, but our baby was too. The moment I felt the plan stop, I unclipped my seat belt and stood. Damion'
AlisonWith Owen and the babies secure, I made my way out of the house. The howels were close by. From the communication coming through the pack's link, the fight was moving in my direction. With a sigh, I made my way off the porch, letting my wolf take over. Moving in the direction of the closest fight was. It didn't take long to recognize who was crossing into our territory. I had spent weeks learning every marking on the wolves that patrolled near the cabin Adam held me at. They left us alone for over a year. And now they wanted to take their revenge. It was slightly maddening. They could have done this sooner. But I would not allow them to go farther into the territory. Joining the worriers that were already there, I helped fight them off. After everything that happened, I have spent even more time training with the rest of the pack. Learning to protect not only myself but everyone else around me. My wolf was strong. We knew this. Not just because she has done what she needed to
OwenI don’t know how he made it happen. But by the time we returned home, Damion had already had everything we would need delivered to the house. The only thing he had the guys set up was a bassinet that was placed in Alison and my room. Everything else was left in their boxes and left in one of the two empty rooms in the house. Allowing us to decide which room would be Hopes and allowing us to be the ones to set it up how we wished it to be. That, of course, didn’t stop him or Bryce from coming over in the coming days to help get everything put together and set up. But I was grateful for the courtesy of allowing us to make the decision on colors and whatnot. Though it wasn’t hard to decide that our baby Hope was going to be anything other than a princess. Being a father was definitely something I didn’t think would be in my cards after everything that happened in my past. And now I don’t know that my life would have been whole if I had never met Alison and she wasn’t the mother to
AlisonStanding there listening to Alpha Nikolai suggest that I wasn’t going to be allowed to leave, and they planned to use me for things I have fought not to happen to me in my life. I am not going to lie. It was hard to control my wolf. Handing my baby girl to her father was the only way I knew to not only protect her but him. If they were going to allow her to leave, then he was the one to leave with her. He would keep her safe. Once she was safe in her father’s arms, my wolf pushed forward, giving a warning growl. One that was cut off by Damion looking over at me with a warning in his eyes but also a warning not just to me but to Bryce through our link. “Not yet. Both of you need to calm down.” A quick glance at Bryce told me his wolf was not a fan of what was being said either. But at Damion’s command, we were both able to pull our wolves back and stay calm while he handled things. Which, if I haven’t said before, he was a damn good Alpha. He looked so calm and collected. His
OwenThey were both healthy. Both my girls were fine. I could breathe again, knowing they were both healthy. However, that didn’t stop the feeling as though something wasn’t right. Standing back up, I did my best to continue to stay calm and keep the role of only being one of the pack’s doctors. A voice in my head told me not to do more than that. If I showed any signs that I was more than just a doctor for the pack and that I was Alison’s partner, something bad was going to happen. It could have just been me being paranoid or reading too much into what Damion said before we left the plane. But the way the one guy that had been in the room with Alison when we walked in didn’t help make the feeling go away. Giving a slight nod to Damion to let him know we were good to go, I stayed close to Alison. Damion returned my nod with one of his own as he turned back to Alpha Nikolai. “Thank you for your help in finding Alison for us. And I do apologize for her trespassing on your land.” Alph
AlisonAfter collapsing with my baby girl in my arms, I was carried back to this packs, pack house. I was placed in a room and left with a woman who didn't know English. Or she didn't seem to, as the only response I could get from her was a smile and a nod of her head, and she continued helping me to get cleaned up. When she was done, and I was dressed in a hospital gown and lying in a bed, she left the room. I was left there with my little girl, who was also now dippered and wrapped in a blanket. A few minutes later, the woman returned with a guy who looked me over. Again, he didn't seem to know English. Leaving me to only guess the guy must be a doctor and the woman a nurse. The two looked me over in a similar way that Owen would have if I had been injured and at home. My attention going back to my baby. Tears sprang up in my eyes. I wished Owen was here. I wish I knew how he felt about being a father. I never got the chance to tell him. Though, I wonder if it matters at the moment
