Bridget POV“Baby,” Wesley pulls me close as Victor reads Dad’s eulogy. “I’m okay,” I lean on him for support. My dad wants everyone to think he loved me. These words are hollow and too late. If he loved me, he should have acted like it when he was alive. Victor’s voice changes and I look up. I know my brothers and the face Victor is making is frightening.“You good?” Wesley asks Mark.“Later Alpha,” Mark says. Calling Wesley Alpha made me sit up and look to Wesley. Wesley nods and pulls me closer. Ty has the second envelop in his hands. He opens it and reads it. He shakes his head. I look up at the head table as Jefferson is speaking. Victor, who rarely drinks, is downing glass after glass of wine. Annabelle- We need to read what he wrote. Both our brothers and their wolves are on edge. Me- Will they tell you why?Annabelle- Something about father being a total asshole, who got off easy dying the way he did.Me- Okay, well, when this is over, I plan to confront them bot
Wesley’s POV“MOM, DAD!” I yell as Bridget and I enter the Alpha apartment. “Wesley, you could mindlink us,” Mom tells me, hugging me.“Where is the fun in that?” I answer. “Mom, my mate.”Bridget keeps her head down and won’t look at Mom.“Bridget, it’s okay. Martin and I have come to terms with this,” Mom tells her, lifting her head. Mom gives her a small smile. “Welcome to your home.”Bridget slides close to me, still avoiding Mom’s eye. “Well, well, well, my son and Heir,” Dad comes out of his office. Dad sees the mark on my neck and nods. “You may be in line for an Alpha title, but you are a warrior at heart. Couldn’t wait to mark your mate.”I can’t help but wrap Bridget in my arms, pull her in front of me, and kiss her neck.“You might be right. Thankfully, I got a strong Beta Female as a mate, so our pups will be better than me,” I move my hands over Bridget’s stomach. “I’m not a pup machine,” Bridget whispers, pulling her hands on top of mine.“I know baby, it's a jo
Stevee’s POV“It’s very nice to see you again, Beta,” Mrs. Winslow smiles. “I know Katie looks forward to our visits.”I smile as I cuddle the toddler in my lap.“She is an amazing kiddo,” I smile.Mrs. Winslow has been going further and further downhill since her mate's death. Today, her skin is actually gray.“I wonder if you and Beta Victor would be her guardians. We don’t have any family here, but I don’t want her to go to another pack, if the worst should happen,” Mrs. Winslow looks at Katie in my arms with a peaceful expression.Victor and I discussed this last night actually. We agreed to take in up to three orphans in.I smile at Mrs. Winslow.“If that is what you want, Victor and I have already discussed it,” I tell her.Mrs. Winslow smiles but keeps her eyes on Katie.“She will be happy, I think. Just don’t spoil her. Her father would not have wanted that,” Mrs. Winslow gets up slowly and comes back with two large bags and a suitcase. “Please have Beta come get her crib, cha
Bridget’s POV“Wesley!” I scream, looking at the test in my hand. I can’t believe what I’m seeing.“Baby?!” Wesley runs into the bathroom, almost slipping on the tiles. “What is it?”I smile and turn the test around.“You knocked me up!” I scream at him, before hitting his shoulder.We smile at each other, and Wesley tosses the test away.“Damn right,” he pulls me in for a kiss, my silk robe riding up, so he puts his hands on my bare thigh, picking up my leg as his tongue explores my mouth.I wrap my arms around his neck and jump a little. He catches me and carries me to the bed. I grid his morning erection as he walks and my tongue tickles his, making him laugh into my mouth.“I love you, Wesely,” I say, pulling away from his lips.Wesley smiles and squeezes my thighs.“I love you too,” he lays me down and removes my robe. I’m naked under it.He removes his boxers.“Are you going to make love to me?” I tease him as he crawls over me.“I think we could make twins,” Wesley smiles.“Doe
Saturday, 4amStevee’s POV“Katie?” I think I hear her. Which makes no sense, our room is soundproof and so is hers. I check to see if maybe Abby slipped the monitor in our room? No.Betsy- Hello.“What the hell?” I cover my body.“Baby?” Victor shoots up and looks around.Betsy- We got ourselves a hunk! Bet Drake is just as hot.“Baby, who is Betsy?” Victor asks.“How should I know? Do you hear that girl talking? Cover the goods,” I throw the blanket over him and turn on the light. “Hello?”Betsy- Hi there!“Where are you?” I look around for the voice and notice Victor smirking. “What, you idiot?”“Betsy is your wolf! You have a wolf!” Victor start jumping up and down excited.“Victor, calm down. If I had a wolf, she would have shown up almost two years ago.”“Not if she was an Omega! She would need her mate’s mark to awaken!” Victor is grinning from ear to ear. “My mark, she needed me. And Drake and Drake. He is going nuts!”Betsy- He is funny. I like him.“How do I talk to her?” I
Victor’s POV“Oh really?” I ask Luna with raised eyebrows. “A pregnant human is going to come here and do what exactly?”“Don’t laugh too hard, her father is connected,” Evander looks at me with a stone cold expression. “I don’t want another blood bath.”It’s my turn to be cold. I grip Stevee’s waist and pull her to me.“We want to bring everyone into the safe rooms. Warriors, Omegas everyone,” Marcella says. “We can parlay with them ourselves. Teresa has convinced her father that Stevee is the reason Steven refuses to marry her. Having a unwed mother in the family is apparently dishonorable. He is coming here with five guys and Teresa.”“Does he know what we are?” Stevee asks.“We don’t think so. Neither does Wesley. He has Westmoreland on high alert,” Evander throws a pen on the desk as he stands up. “I hate to say it folks, but we are headed into battle again.”“Jefferson, I know you are Gamma, but with all your family has lost, Dana, Trent, Ki moving away with the baby, we think i
Stevee’s POVBetsy- I got you, bestie.My legs begin to heal instantly as I wipe the steaming mess off of me.“Thankfully, it takes more than that to burn me,” I say, standing up. “But Mac as you can see, I did nothing to prompt that. And Jerry. You dodged a bullet.”Jerry laughs at that joke. He then nods.“I like your suggestion, if you promise not to file assault charges against her, I’ll do as you say,” Mac says.“Why the fuck would she need to avoid assault charges?” Dad Nate comes into the room.“There was an accident, I got some mashed potatoes spilled on me, I’m fine,” I tell them.I try to mindlink them to no avail.Me- How do I mindlink my dads?Victor- Sorry babe, you can only link pack members.Me- That sucks!“Spill? Doesn’t sound like assault. Did your daughter attempt to hurt my daughter? She has already ruined my son. A baby at 19, his football career is over, he wants to take care of his child,” Nate is breathing heavily, and I notice Matt is griping him for dear life
Wesley’s POV“Baby,” Bridget whines as I get up for training and school.“I’m sorry,” I lean back and kiss her neck.“Just make love to me one more time,” she pulls me back to her.I smile as I slide behind her and start kissing her.“You are so amazing,” I tell her as I nibble on her ear.“I’m ready,” she moans and lifts her leg so I can slide in from the back.I run my hand down her round stomach and start playing with her clit. We moan, skin slapping, and I can’t help but pound harder as she moves against me.“Bridget,” I moan as I cum.“Wesley, Baby,” she rides out her own orgasm.She turns around and we start kissing. I can’t help it and get on top of her.“One more time?” I ask as she wraps those legs around me.“It will never be enough,” Bridget moves against me and hump her gently but purposely. “Wesley, this feels so good.”“You like this?” I ask as I sit up and hold her hips.“Yes, Wesely,” Bridget’s moans are beautiful. She arches her back and I see her body, her perfect br
The moon goddess’s POV“Please I have to know I have to know are they well?” Ki has come to me again. I wish she had never been sent here. “Fine one last look and then you need to realize they have to live their own lives,” I tell her. “They are my family,” Ki grumbles. I open the view for her.Bella is in labor Stone beside her. In the waiting room Slate, Tellie, Jewel, Dawn, Spencer, Evander, Marcella, Becky, Granite, Justin, Lesley, Raymond, Azlee, Raymond, Ryan, Joshua, and Sherry. “Lighting Alpha is going to be a dad,” Joshua laughs. “Why do you call him Lighting Alpha?” Lesley asks. “When we were kids we were fishing in the creek,” Slate starts.“Lighting starts falling everywhere,” Joshua says. “Stone uses his little bitty Alpha tone and demands the Lighting stop,” Slate laughs. “And it did, he stopped the Lightening,” Joshua tells us. “So Joshua all of six started calling him the Lighting Alpha,” Slate tells the story. Everyone laughs as cries fill the hall. “It’s
Bella’s POV“YES, STONE,” I smile and squeal as he puts the ring on my finger. We kiss and I hear cheers and squeals.I look around as the lights dim to see everyone is here. My parents, his parents, my grandparents, my great-granddad’s, my sister, my friends, my cousins, my Aunt and Uncles. Everyone is here.Stone takes my hand and we greet our guests before we all go inside. “OH!” I gasp. The inside of the villa is covered in flowers, candles, lights, a DJ, food, everything for a hell of a party. “Its your engagement party,” Lesley tells me handing me a glass. A photographer goes around and takes photos. I am looking around at everyone and the room. It’s perfect. We dance, sing, laugh, eat, drink repeat for hours.. “Did I do well?” Stone asks as we drive back home. “You kept your promise?” I reach over and run my hand through his hair. We make it home and spend the rest of our night making love until we collapse.“Its 4:30,” Ryan sings from out door. “Go away or I will get ou
The moon goddess’s POV“Hello, Tristian Crimson. I have been watching you,” I tell him. I hold up my hand and he falls to the ground. “I never chose you as an Alpha. I chose Bella. I made her stronger, faster, better than all the rest. You have destroyed all the gifts I gave you.”Tristian is frozen in my command.“Shift,” I tell Rex. Stone stands in front of me. “Stone you took my charge a little too literal, but you got there in the end. I gave you Bella as a gift. Don’t be unworthy.”Stone kneels, “You have my word.”I look at Shelby and nod.“Tristian Crimson, I sentence you to death,” I say, stepping back for Rex and Shelby to kill him.Tristian closes his eyes to accept his fate.Once he is dead, Shelby and Rex bow before me.“Erik will die at the hand of Slate; Tellie is pregnant with the next Conroy Alpha. Soon Bella will be too. I bless you both,” I touch their heads. “I bless your union. Don’t think for a moment I ever forgot you. I needed you to be who are you now. I was pre
Bella’s POV“You okay,” Stone asks me as soon as we are alone.The sun is up now, and we all ate breakfast as a pack, before we all head to bed.“I’m exhausted,” I tell him as I drag myself to the shower.“I am too, but I was thinking about what the goddess said about you carrying the next generation of Conroy Alpha,” Stone chases me to bathroom.I giggle as we shower together. We make love in the shower, before crashing into bed.Justin- Alpha.Me- In mindlink, you can call me Bella.Justin- I was speaking to Alpha Stone.Stone- Sleeping.Justin- Your parents are here with Bella’s.Stone- Sleeping naked.Justin- My favorite way to sleep too. Do you want me to put them in an Alpha suite.Me- Yes. We will be up in a few minutes.Stone- Why the hell are you awake, man?Justin- Father of two, under three, I’ll sleep next decade.I laugh and feel Stone pulling me closer.“Do we have to get up?” Stone moans into my neck.“Yes, your parents are here,” I snuggle into him.“I don’t care. I wan
Bella's POV“Tristian still has the loyalty of some of the pack,” Joshua tells Stone.“He may attack there first to gain more followers. But Bella and Justin took over a hundred alone, his warriors aren’t that well trained,” Stone says.“If they come from Durk, they are now. Marcella trained them herself,” Grandpa tells us.“Great, so we are fighting a force equal to our own,” Joshua looks worried for the first time.“We should shift and join the line,” I suggest.“Not yet, let our wolves rest until we need them,” Grandma offers.“I’m scared,” Lesley says out loud. “I’m sorry, that was an inside thought.”“No, Baby,” Justin holds her and their daughter close. “It’s going to be okay.”“We don’t know that,” Lesley says. “Tristian is crazy.”The baby fusses a little and Lesley takes her to the back of the room to feed her.“Go to her, idiot,” I tell Justin, who does.Stone looks around the room. “Can everyone excuse me and Bella for a moment? Jack, watch these cameras and let me know if y
Bella’s POVOnce Stone hangs up the phone, I know I have one chance before Ahab hops the boat, sailing away.“Raymond, tell Jack to call Safehaven for our pack. Tristian is going to come straight for me or Lesley, maybe both. He clearly has a new backer,” I order, and I hold on to Stone’s arms. “Stone, we need to get Tellie and Slate to call Safehaven here too. Tristian has a plan and it's to separate us. Let’s not give him the chance.”Stone is shaking with anger, but nods.We pull Tellie and Slate off the dance floor along with the other Alphas in attendance. Including Erik.“I got a call from the FBI, Tristian escaped with the help of 50 or so wolves,” Stone explains.“Slate, we called Safehaven at Bazin, I suggest everyone does the same,” Bella says.“Bella, you are not safe,” Erik says.“I know, I’m flying back to Bazin to meet him head on with Stone,” I hold Stone’s hand and feel him pulling away slightly. “He and I will do what we should have done five years ago. We will work as
Stone’s POV“Wow, Alpha it’s 4:15am,” Ryan’s voice rings through.“Give me 10 minutes and I'll meet you in the office,” Bella says sleepily.“Okay, coffee in the office,” Ryan closes the door again.“He just walks in whenever?” I ask.“I’m normally dressed and up at 4, we meet at 4:15,” she tells me as she gets up.I’m guessing she used some sort of super speed, because before I could get out of bed she was already showered and dressed.“Can I meet you in the office?” I ask.“If you want, we have training right after, so get dressed for that,” She kisses my cheek and leaves.I shower and dress in five minutes.“I will arrange to have all of Erik’s things moved out today,” I hear Ryan say as I come in. “Also, Babes’ Luna Ceremony; You, Stone, Raymond and Azlee are going. Justin is asking forgiveness; Lesley could pop any second.”“Sounds good,” Bella smiles at me as I pour my coffee.“What about Stone’s things? Any large shipments coming in?” Ryan asks.“Nope, I have everything I have,
Stone’s POVWhen the plane hits the tarmac, Bella holds me back while everyone else deplanes.“What is it baby?” I ask as she straddle me.“Why didn’t you tell me any of that?” She asks, settling on my lap.“You had me blocked on everything,” I tell her honestly.“You could have told Slate, or the guys,” she tells me, holding my shirt.I bite my lip not wanting to tell her. But as we look into each other’s eyes, she understands.“You were afraid it was one of them?” I see tears about to fall, so I lean up and kiss her pulling her close.“Baby, I cleared them for the most part. But keeping you safe is the only thing I care about. So, I played it close to the vest. It was actually one of TJ’s guys. I didn’t even get the chance to deal with him, TJ did it,” I tell her, and she pulls me close to kiss me.“Thank you for keeping me safe,” she tells me.“It's the reason I breathe,” I tell her, going back in for another kiss.“Oh, hell to the no,” Raymond says as he enters the plane.“Ray, he
Stone’s POVWhen I thought she had forgiven me, I could have walked on air. I slept better last night than I ever have. But she watched as everyone who loves her, let me know just how much of an asshole I am. Yeah, I get it. But nothing in the world prepared me for her.“Thank you all for loving me,” Bella starts. “I may have been lonely looking for my mate all these years, but I never for a moment felt unloved. What Stone did, he did to me. I understand seeing me hurting was painful for you all too, but the real pain is mine. So now that you all have had your chance, I am asking you all to give Stone and I time, privacy and space to figure out the next steps. It will be a decision we make alone. And let’s not forget he has Justin, Raymond and Jack to face when we get home.”Everyone laughs and Wesley releases me.“Oh, can I call Justin?” Joshua looks all too happy to make this call.“Wouldn’t it be better to catch them off guard. Think of their faces,” Bella smirks.“Oh, yeah, catch
