Bella’s POVJunior Year of High School, One Month Until Alpha Training.BOOM“Hello, Alpha,” Justin slams into the locker beside mine with a flirty smile.“Hello, Jay,” I say laughing.“So, who are you cheering for?” Justin asks, flirting again.“Not the moron who is flirting with me,” I close my locker. “Your girlfriend won’t like it.”“My girlfriend can get over it. You were my friend long before her,” Justin pushes off the lockers and we head toward Raymond’s locker.“Ray, you have to. It’s important to me,” Angie, Raymond’s human girlfriend, is whining at him. He is going to roll his eyes and cave.“Girl, can’t you speak without whining?” Ryan asks her. “It hurts my ears.”“Can you speak without flaming?” Angie retorts.We all stare at her. Raymond looks annoyed. Ryan is gay, only an idiot can’t see it, mostly because he refuses to hide it. That doesn’t mean we put up with any disrespect of him.“Hey, bitch,” I say, stepping into her eye line. “Speak with respect, or stay silent.”
Bella’s POV“Hey, Dad,” I say, kissing his cheek.“Hello, sweetheart. How was school?” He asks as we walk into the kitchen.“Bella!” Tellie runs in. “Marcy just told me that Jeremy asked you to study and you said yes!”“Hey, Babes. Yes, that happened,” I tell her and Dad.“Jeremy who?” Dad narrows his eyes.“The hot human boy that moved here this weekend,” Tellie tattles.“Bella is he?” Dad asks.“No, but Shelby isn’t opposed to him. She said she approves of this relationship,” I tell them.Shelby- No, I said I’m not opposed to closeness.Me- Potato, Po-tat-o.“Okay,” Dad says, slowly walking to the fridge. “Want a banana or apple before training?”“Nah, the guys are waiting, I’m going down as soon as I change,” I tell him and then I hear them. It’s like a herd of horses, but there are only six legs.“Alpha, you have to tell her no,” Justin blurts out.They have all changed for training and are running into my kitchen to try and interfere with me and Jeremy.“Yes Alpha, he only wa
Bella’s POV “Took you long enough,” Ryan teases me as I join them. He sniffs me. “She is still a virgin.”“Yeah, and I plan to stay that way,” I say, taking my controller.“So just kissing?” Raymond asks but won’t look at me.“Yes, just kissing. Once we got away from our lip blockers,” I tell them.“Expect more,” Jay warns as we choose our characters.“I don’t interfere with your girls or guys,” I tell them.“Yeah, I know double stander. We suck hard,” Ray says.“You and me not so much, but Ryan would have to suck really hard,” Jay jokes.“I do in fact suck hard, with no gag reflex,” Ryan jokes as we are attacking each other in the game.“No gag reflex is good,” Ray nods.“Why?” I ask.“You are not that naive,” Jay calls me on my bullshit.“I know,” I laugh. “Ryan how do you get over the gag reflex.”“WHOA!” Ray and Jay say in unison.“This could be helpful to you two as well,” I tell them.“How?” Ray asks.“Well, if a girl uses the technique Ryan describes, then you know she ha
Bella’s POV“How do you remember all these dates?” Jeremy asks frustrated.“How can you keep forgetting?” I ask, laughing.Jeremy softens when he sees me laugh.“You are so beautiful,” he tells me with a grin. “Thank you, you don’t look so bad yourself,” I smile.We lean in and start kissing again.“Alpha,” Jay interrupts.“Yeah,” I answer, pulling away.“Off for my date,” Jay announces.“Thanks for coming all the way to the packhouse and up to the top floor just to tell me,” I look at him annoyed.“Well, believe it or not, even Ryan has a date tonight so expect two more visits,” Jay waves and leaves.“They really don’t want me kissing you,” Jeremy smirks.“No, they don’t. Full disclosure, you don’t have to worry about anything, but Ray asked me out a couple of years ago and I said no,” I confess.“Why say no?” Jeremy asks, looking me in the eye.“Shelby, my wolf, told me no. I always listen to Shelby,” I tell him honestly. “I’m glad Shelby likes me,” Jeremy smiles and we go back
Justin’s POV“I can walk,” Bella tells my chest.“Yeah right, you can barely hold your eyes open,” I lay her down and get on her right side. Ray lays on her left and we basically squish her.“I’m okay with the three musketeers, but the boyfriend,” Alpha looks at Ryan laying at the food of the bed and Jeremy looking at us, deciding where he belongs. He doesn’t.“Ray, let Jeremy lay beside me,” Bella gets out in her sleepily state.Ray doesn’t move. “Alpha, just said he is not staying.”“I’m bleeding, what can we do?” Bella asks Alpha.“Your mouth isn’t bleeding,” Alpha mumbles, making us chuckle.“I have three virgin alarms,” Bella rolls her eyes.“Door stays open,” Alpha says, but I can tell his not happy.“Ray slide over,” Bella pushes him away. Yeah, Bella pushes him away. She is not pushing me away, she will never push me away.I kiss her temple as Ray gets up and Jeremy lays down.“Welcome to the foot of the bed,” Ryan pats the empty space beside him.“Why isn’t Jay down here?” Ra
Bella’s POVI wake up in a sweat. Ryan is like a heater and Jeremy is warm as well. Jeremy has a firm grip on my lower belly. I can barely feel my cramps because he is holding me perfectly.Shelby- He holds us better than Justin.Me- Can’t you heal this or something?Shelby- If I could, I would.Me- Grandma said she suffered to until she mated. I hope our mate comes soon.Shelby- If not, we have Jeremy.I laugh, waking up Jeremy.“You okay,” he asks.“Yeah, just hot,” I smile. “I forgot the reason Ryan sleeps down there is he keeps our feet warm.”Jeremy quietly chuckles. “They know you so well. I have some catching up to do.”“I think you are doing a pretty good job,” I pull his face toward mine and we kiss.“Literally, laying right here,” Ryan mumbles in his sleep.“Sorry,” I say, but I snuggle into Jeremy’s chest hard.The morning finally comes, and Ryan goes to get breakfast. The guys take turns in the shower after I get done and I get a few minutes without Jeremy.“I want compani
Bella’s POV“Jeremy,” I moan as we grid each other on the couch at his parents' house.“Bella,” He moans, going back to kissing my neck.We have now been together 2 weeks and next Saturday is out last Saturday, me and the guys leave Sunday.“I want you,” I groan. “I want you.”“I want you too,” he grinds harder into me. “I want you so bad.”“Take me upstairs,” I say.“Bella, are you sure?” Jeremy asks. “We don’t have to. I’ll make you cum without having to be inside you. And you can do the same for me. We don’t have to go all the way.”Jeremy always pumps the breaks just when I think I’m ready.I reach into his jeans and begin to stroke him. He moans and moves into my hand. He fumbles with his pants but gets them down enough to free his cock. It’s not massive, but its proportional to his size. He stays on top or me and fucks my hand until his face goes red and he releases onto my bare stomach. He leans back on his knees and catches his breath before cleaning me up.“Do you want to cum
Bella’s POV“Please tell me you are both dressed,” Jeremy asks bringing coffee and doughnuts into the room. “Yes,” Jay answers. “So you weren’t going to tell me?” Jeremy asks me handing me a doughnut. “I had something to discuss with Jay and I wanted to not share it with you,” I say taking a bite. Jay looks at him, “it’s complicated and there a lot of backstory. We know it so it’s eaiser for her to come to us.” Jeremy ignores Justin and sits next to me. “Why not at least tell me?” Jeremy asks. I look him in the eye. “Sometimes I am going to confide in them. We are forever in each other’s lives. We aren’t mates we know that but we are something. They are here to help me run my pack. I can’t do this without them. They need me too,” I tell him. “So we rely on each other. I rely on them. I’m not a mate bond born child. Luna Dawn is not my biological mother. My biological mother was the daughter of a Beta who met my father during training. They hooked up and I am the result. When sh
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
