“We can’t do that!” Ann responded.
Their argument was getting clearer, pulling me from the black swirling hole I was in.
“What if it’s the babies doing this to her?”
“If you found your father on a table with another man’s hand in his chest wouldn’t you pass out?”
I hadn’t dreamt it. Joe really did have his hand in my dad’s chest.
“Dad, where is my dad?” I propped myself up on my elbows and looked around. I was in my bed; Ann and Maria were seated at my sides facing each other.
“He’s fine.” Maria had her hands on my shoulders, she was trying to push be back down.
I swatted her hands away and sat upright. “I’d like to see that for myself.” I stood up too quickly. The room tilted, making me di

“I already have a plan. Bring my children into the world, if I survive the birth, pray that I’ll live and if not be strong enough to take the change.”“Turn into a werewolf, are you sure?” Ann asked me in a hush voice.I shrugged. “We thought I was turning into one before so what’s the difference?”“The difference is now you have a choice. We should tell Joe; he may have a way to prevent both scenarios.”“We can’t do that. Ash is the alpha and they have to follow what he says, there is no way around that. Ash will kill them to save me, I can’t have that.”“And we can’t let you die.” Maria blinked back tears.“How different would he be from Baku?” I understood the thought of losing me hurt them as much as the thought of losing my children hurt me. But I couldn’t put their feelings before the lives of my babies. I was their m

“Well you’ll have to wait until I get my figure back. In the meantime, turn around.”He flashed me his earth-shaking smile before he turned. I changed quickly into flannel pants and his sleeping shirt that he had let me keep. “You can turn around now.”He turned around with my smile still in place. “You still look beautiful.”“Don’t taunt me.” I moved to the bed and got in. He sat on my bed on top of the cover. “Ash, can I ask you something?”“Sure.” He looked down at me.“Did Baku want Rosa?” The second I said her name his face dropped and his body tightened. He folded his arms over his chest and looked straight ahead.“Yes.” His answer was blunt and emotionless. I wasn’t sure if I should keep asking but I had already started.“And he killed her because he couldn’t have her?”“Yes.”

After Ash’s nightmare last night my arm, ribs, and belly were sore. He had clamped his hand on my arm, squeezing it tighter as his nightmare got worse. His other arm crushed my ribs as he held me tight against him. The twins kicked wildly and painfully causing more pain inside me. This was one time I wished I hadn’t fallen asleep in his arms.I didn’t dare move or make a sound. I knew I was in his nightmare and if I moved it would only make things worse. He might have either attacked me or tightened his grip. He finally woke up after what felt like a decade. I pretended to be asleep but I was most grateful when his grips loosened and the twins settled down. I slept while he watched me, his arms securely around me. My close encounter with Baku had scared him more than it did me.I walked down the stairs feeling sore all over. There was a large bruise on my arm, a long purple strip across my chest and small purple spots on my belly. The twins’ kic

Ash you need to get back here now!Joe’s thoughts were loud in my head. I turned and kept my eyes on the other door. It was closed but that wouldn’t stop them if they wanted to crash in.How many!“There’s only one in the house.” My voice was shaky. Ann pulled me back to stand behind the island. Joe moved closer to the door blocking it with his body.There is only one foreign scent. I’ll take him.“Joe, don’t. What if it’s a trap?”She’s right. We’ll be there in a minute.“Sooner than a minute would be great.”“Lee what’s going on?” Maria asked with a quivering voice.“Ash and the others are on the way; in the meantime Joe is going to keep him away from us.” I shifted my eyes to Maria for a second before they went back on the door.“Lee, sit down, I’ll cover the door.” Ann stepped around me.“Why?”“One, you are pregnant, two I’m the one with the gun.” Ann pulled it up and aimed it at the door.“Sure, Salt, the spot light is all yours.”“Now is not the time to make jokes!” Maria hushe

“What are you doing here, we thought you died?” Ash asked him perplexed.“I didn’t. I joined another tribe, the village close to ours,” Eri answered him.“The Mohawks? But we were at battle with them, I didn’t see you?” Ash’s color was back. His voice was more stable and clear. He put his arm around my waist and held me against him. The rest of us stood around watching Ash and Eri reminiscing.“I wasn’t going to fight my brothers. And anyway they didn’t let nomads join their warriors.”“They didn’t know you were Lakota?”“If they did they would have skinned me alive!” Eri laughed nervously.“Lee, take notes, some of this may come up in your paper,” Ann joked behind us.“How about we all sit down?” Maria spoke softly.“Good idea, my ankles are killing me.” I dragged Ash with me to the couch. I felt more relaxed knowing that Eri wasn’t a threat but after all Ash had told me, I didn’t understand why he was with Baku. “Eri, I hope you don’t mind my asking but after what Baku did to you, w

“They will be forced to mature quicker. They will grow faster, tearing and crushing you and then finally they will rip themselves out of you as fully grown toddlers.” He spoke looking directly at me, making sure I understood every word he said. I was getting it, loud and clear.I looked at him speechless. My throat felt dry at the thought of the pain that would cause me. The image of them coming out of me grown like I was a sleeping bag they had unzipped, scared me even more. “Talk about skipping the three a.m. feedings,” I whispered.“That isn’t funny, neither is the image in your head.” Ash came close to me and pulled me up from the seat. He held me tight against him. I couldn’t feel his anger anymore. All I felt was fear.“How do we know he’s not making it up, maybe Baku sent him,” Maria asked her voice broken.“Practical is more believable than theory.” He stood up and extended his arm to me. “Lee.”“Eri, no,” Ash said harshly. He moved me to his side away from Eri.“I won’t hurt

“Lee, think of your family, I’m sure your sisters don’t want to lose you and your dad just got you back,” Ash pleaded but that only made me madder. “If Lee does that it will kill her. We can’t ask her to kill her children to keep us happy.” Maria’s voice was low and drained. I knew she was hurting, but I was glad she was backing me up.“She threw having a normal life out the window when she fell in love with you. After all she’s gone through for you and because of you the least you can do is let her do what she wants.” Ann spoke softly.“You want me to let her die!” Ash yelled.“She won’t die. Joe has a plan. And because she also loves us close to as much as she loves her children she’ll do this for us. Won’t you, Lee?” Maria spoke with her eyes fixed on me. Tears were spilling down her cheeks.“I’d have to make a few changes to it.” Joe looked up at Ash as if he was having a conversation with him different to the burning topic in the room, “of course with Ash’s help but there is no

“Where are we going?” Ash pulled the jeep out of the garage and sped down the path and out to the main road.“We are going to the beach.” I looked at him smiling like a fool. Eri had turned out to be the best burglar ever. He’d given me leverage and the rest no other choice but to accept my decision on having these babies. Not that it would have mattered. I would have been able to protect them from Ash just fine—well with a little difficulty but I would have pulled it off somehow. But that didn’t matter anymore. He was going to let me have them, let me have his children.He looked away from the road and stared at me, his lips pulled up into my smile. “I can’t remember the last time I saw that smile.”“What smile?”“The ‘truly happy’ smile.” He glanced at the road when he took the corner before he looked back at me.“When was the last time you saw it?”“When you realized your dad was real and not a figment of your imagination.”I laughed remembering that day. It was the best yet most

“Felt...” the words died on her lips when a harsh burn scorched down her back. The tattoo there burnt fiercely like a fire razing down and entire forest. She wanted to scream but the only sound that parted her lips was a struggled cry. It hurt, worse than it did the first time she felt it. She felt Samson’s arms tighten around her, holding her stiffened body upright.When it was finally over, she fell into his embrace, her body still buzzing with the painful sensation.“How...?” she choked out.Samson carried her to the couch and sat down, cradling her against his chest. “Merilee is alive.”Merilee? She wanted to ask which one but it was obvious. The only time she felt her magick part from her with such excruciating pain was the night Martha came into her powers.If she was not wrong, Merilee was a few months shy of nineteen... wasn’t this happening late?She shook her head to clear her hazy mi

Lena patted the young boy’s head and gave him a reassuring smile, “You’ll be fine.” He nodded and smiled back, then turned his face into his mother’s chest. A few minutes later he was fast asleep. “Asante,” his mother said, gently holding his broken arm steady on his side. Lena smiled and nodded. Watching the boy turn to his mother for comfort seared a pain through her heart as if a hot blade had been driven through her chest. She missed Martha and Merilee, her two beautiful daughters. But it had been years since they were gone. Merilee died in a car crush as a teenager. She was rebellious, envious and jaded by the fact she was not born first. Lena knew if they could switch places, Martha would happily give her the burden. Lena sighed, Burden? The duties of being born the first daughter from a twentieth-tenth generation faerie had never felt like a burden to her. Granted it felt like a duty
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 113
Then everything in the room changed. I felt sick to my stomach. I moved back and put a hand over my mouth. I was aware of everyone, even my twins felt different but more like Ben. I looked at them. For a moment their eyes looked different but I couldn’t be sure. I felt too sick to be sure of anything in that moment. Loud hisses filled the room and then I was standing far away, Ash’s arms around me. “Lee, what’s wrong?” That was Maria’s voice. I felt a hand on my cheek and I knew that was her too. It was human. “I don’t know.” I whispered. “She’ll be fine once this is over.” Ben called out. I looked at him. His eyes had changed. I turned to Joe, his eyes were gold and his grip on Maria was tight. She was tucked into him, her eyes shifting between Ann and me. I leaned my head back against Ash’s chest and bit my teeth together as the back of my neck burned. “Just take a deep breathe,” Ash whispered in my ear. I did as instructed, and with each breath the pain subsided to being be

Three days passed and the house was like a minefield. Maria wouldn’t speak to anyone else but Ben and me. She also never left Ann’s side. She moved all her things in Ann’s room and Ben and I would go downstairs to get her something to eat.Billy felt uneasy staying with Ann. One the guilt of not being able to defend her was eating at him and two Maria made him feel very unwelcomed. But she didn’t care much about justice, or better yet vengeance. She was waiting for Ann to wake up. We all were. The three of us would guess how she’d look like, the color of her fur. But most importantly, how long it would take to subdue her craving for human blood and flesh.Of course we wanted to see the change. No one was looking forward to the pain that would come with it. But mostly, we were waiting for the first thing she’d do once she woke up. Hopefully go for Sabrina’s neck.Sabrina knew it too and it made her very uneasy. She

He pulled away and looked at me, holding my head back so that I looked into his pleading eyes. “I love you, only you. You know that so please don’t doubt my love for you or the twins.”I knew that, but Sabrina was standing in the living room disputing how much he truly loved me.I went to pull away but Ash pulled me back, trapping me in a long desperate kiss.And for the first time, I felt his heart beat in sync with mine. I felt his soul touch mine in a connection that was more than physical intimacy. Every single thing of him intertwined with every single thing of me. We were one and the same.And yet...“How much of an influence does my blood have on you?” I whispered breathlessly on his lips.“Like an energy drink would have on you. And yet it feels like I’ve just kissed the true you for the first time. You feel more a part of me than you ever did before. I don’t think I’ve wanted you
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 110
“Aww!” I cried out at the sizzling pain in the back of my neck. It felt like burning larva as it slowly crawled down my neck to the mid of my back. I stayed very still until the pain faded away. What the hell was that?I blinked my eyes open and looked around. I was in my room. Alive, I think.I rose up slowly into a sitting position. When I didn’t topple over I stood up on my feet on the warm floor. I rocked for a second as the room tilted. Once I felt steady enough I walked to the bathroom and pulled open the folding mirror.There was a large tattoo on the back of my neck. How the hell did that get there?Before I could explore further, Ben’s urgent voice filled the room. “Lee, Lee!”“I’m here,” I announced walking out of the bathroom.I saw his face relax and then crease as his eyes filled with tears. He rushed to me, hugging me tight against him.I cradled him, “Hey, I&rs
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 109
Five more werewolves shuffled into the room as Baku and Seth made their quick exit.I pulled out of his grip, “Not yet. Hold them off as long as you can.” I ran to Ash and sat next to him. I was close to sobbing when I saw his battered body. He had shrunk to my size.“Lee what are you doing!” Joe demanded.I turned to him, “What I have to.”He made to come near me but Ben stood in his way, “the fight is over there!” He bellowed.“Get out of my way!”“Joe, please,” I begged.“Joe I need you!” Billy yelled. There were five more of Baku’s men in the room. They stood in a circle around Billy and stalked towards him, tightening the circle with each step.“One minute Lee, not a second more!” Joe ordered rushing away.“Ben...”“One and a half... I know.” He answered without looking at me, wo

It took a few more dodging before Ben put me down, a solemn look in his face, “He’s in here.”I walked in, a quiver in each step I took. It wasn’t the hostage room I expected. It was beautiful and could have easily been mistaken for a living room if there was furniture in it. There was only one royal-like chair against the wall sitting on what looked like a very expensive rug. It was probably where Baku sat as he watched his men torture Ash. I felt the rage inside me boil up as I rushed to that chair. All I wanted to do was rip it to shreds!“Lee!” Ben called out to me, his hands on my arms. He turned me slowly, “there he is.”I felt my legs give under me when I saw him. That chained, withered, bloody body on the ground could not be my Ash. He just couldn’t!Ben held me tight against him, “He’s not dead but I can’t let you go to him. We’ll have to wait for Billy and Joe.”
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 107
I pulled off my coat and sat on it. Five more minutes on the cold floor and I wouldn’t be able to feel my ass again.The chains jingled when Ben tagged on them, “maybe this wasn’t a good idea after all.”He was on the other side of the cold dark steel room. Just like me, he’d been chained to the wall but he had six chains on him; one around his neck, one around his waist and the rest on his hands and legs. I only had one, around my wrist. It made sense, how could a little human break a chain used to weigh down anchors!“Can you tell if Ash is here?”He nodded, “I caught his scent when we boarded. He should have been here by now.”I felt relief flow through me, “Why?”He smiled, “Because you are here. Your scent should lead him right to us.”“Why.... do think he isn’t okay?” I stammered under a whisper.“He could be weak and cha
