I smiled happily. A flood of tenderness swept over me as Mathew curled into a comfortable sleep, snug in his bed. As I gazed over him, I was overcome by a wave of protectiveness; my heart ached from the immense love I had for my baby. The thought of leaving him, even for a moment, filled me with a sense of unease. He was my everything, my reason for living, and I would do anything to keep him safe from harm. When Mathew had recounted his ordeal, my heart clenched with a mixture of relief and anger. I was grateful that they hadn't harmed him physically, but the thought of my sweet boy being tied up and forced to sleep in a chair filled me vengeance. With each word Mathew said, the rage simmered within me, fueled by the wrongdoing of what had happened to my son. I traced the faint marks around his hand, with an image of his unease and agony, and promised to do whatever it took to hold those responsible accountable. The door creaked open, and Alpha Dominic entered the room, his prese
Alpha Dominic PovI grasped Freya's hips and pulled her onto a nearby desk, placing her backside on the edge. I met her gaze and noticed the yearning in her eyes. I assumed she saw the same desire in mine. Dropping to my knees, I pushed her legs apart. I licked my lips as I noticed her magnificent pussy glistening above her silky mound.Smirking, I dove in for a taste of my reward. Gently spreading her soft thighs, I ran my tongue from her entrance to her clitoris, warming her up and savoring her sweet nectar. Freya gasped and moaned as I transitioned from long, patient licks to flicks and swirls with the tip of my tongue on her delicate bud."Oh my God," she cried out. "That feels incredible. Don't stop," she exclaimed between deep gasps.Stopping was not my aim. In fact, I was determined to drive her wild, just as she had driven me wild with desire. Inserting one finger, then another into her sweet pussy, my tongue relentlessly teased her clitoris.She opened her mouth to speak, b
I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves as I looked down at Mathew, his innocent eyes filled with concern. "Mathew, sweetie," I said softly, crouching down to his level. "Mummy needs to go out for a little while, but Uncle Michael will be here to look after you, okay?"I didn't want him anywhere near I was going.His bottom lip quivered, and my heart squeezed with guilt at his distress. "But I wanna stay with you, Mumma," he whimpered, his small hands clutching at my shirt."I know, darling," I whispered, brushing a strand of hair away from his forehead. "But Mummy has to do something very important. Uncle Michael will take good care of you while I'm gone, I promise."I wanted to break the news of him getting another sibling so bad but the thought of doing so while the future of my unborn was uncertain left me with hesitance.Introducing him to his sibling who might ultimately pass away might be traumatizing for him.He has already been through so much for his little age.Rel
"I'm pregnant," Sage shouted making my eyes widen at her sudden revelation."Whether or not you're pregnant, you and your mate will face your punishment," I yelled angrily."As long as your punishment doesn't harm my baby," she said, her voice firm."Your concern for your child is touching, however we don't harm children here Sage, you of all people should know that." I mocked her."Then I'd like to continue," Sage sassed, making me glare at her."Mind your tone with my Luna." Dominic sternly warned at her. "There's a pack outside that is not at all too pleased that you're still alive for kidnapping their future alpha Sage." She's lucky she's with child, after the harm she caused my son she had the nerve to sass with me."I'm sorry for being hostile however I'm pregnant so I'm hormonal, plus I just ran away from my mate not much—" Sage trailed off staring at me."Not much what? I dare you to say not much mate can run away from their own mate. Because I did for four years." I addresse
Holding my breath, I watched as Dominic's enraged expression slowly melted away upon hearing my words about the baby's kick. His eyes, previously blazing with fury, now shone with a new light - a tender, almost childlike wonder."The...the baby kicked?" he repeated slowly, as if struggling to process this simple yet monumental piece of information through the haze of his anger. Alpha Scott loosened his restraining hold, giving Dominic a cautious amount of slack.I felt my cheeks flush with a sheepish warmth because of the lie I had told. Would he get angry at me?"No...no, not yet," I admitted in a small voice. "I just...I had to find a way to reach you, to pull you back before it was too late."Silence stretched between us, taut and fragile. I couldn't bear to meet Dominic's eyes, scared of what I might find there. Anger at my lie? But then his thumb gently grazed my chin, tilting my face up once more. Dominic's expression was unreadable for a beat before melting into one of pure a
Third party povAlpha Lucas paced back and forth, his fists clenched at his sides, his rage radiating off him in waves. He was reeling from a strong mixture of anxiety and rage after learning of his mate had took the boy and run away. It had struck him like silver to his skin."How could she do this to fucking me?!" he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "How could she taken the boy and vanish without a trace?"Alpha Lucas's facade of indifference crumbled as he sank into the depths of his own thoughts. "She means nothing to me," he declared to no one in particular, his voice cold and detached. "I have plenty of women who are more than willing to fulfill my desires."But even as the words left his lips, a pang of longing tugged at his heart. He missed Sage, more than he cared to admit, and the emptiness left in her absence gnawed at him from the inside out.He hated the special bond between mates. Now he was having a difficult time getting her off his mind.Deep down, beneath the l
I took a deep, steadying breath as I watched Mathew playing contentedly in the living area of our den, a small, fond smile tugged at the corners of my mouth as Mathew let out a bright peal of laughter."Mathew? Can you come here for a moment, my sunshine? Mama has something important to share with you."I patted the space next to me, unable to stop my smile from widening as Mathew immediately snuggled against my side.I dropped a tender kiss on Mathew's forehead. He hummed contentedly at my touch, those striking emerald eyes watching me with rapt attention."Did I do somethin' bad, Mumma?" he asked suddenly, small brow furrowing adorably."No, my little star, you're not in any trouble this time," I assured him.With a smile, I cradled my son close and murmured, "How would you feel about becoming a big brother, my heart? Because very soon...you're going to have a new baby sibling."It took a heartbeat for Mathew's eyes to go wide in realization. Then, before I could even register his re
I watched from the sidelines, a sleeping Mathew bundled against my chest, as Dominic and Alpha Scott went over strategies with the warriors for tomorrow's battle. My heart clenched just thinking of my mate leading the pack into war for the first time.What if I lost him out there? The thought caused my breath to hitch. I pulled Mathew closer, cradling my still flat stomach with my free hand.Our twins were newly conceived, just starting to take shape inside me. What if I lost them too?He must have sensed my distress, because Dominic looked up and met my worried gaze from across the field. Leaving the strategy session, he quickly crossed over to the field until he stood before me. His palm cupped my cheek."I will return to you, my luna," he murmured intensely. His eyes flickered down to my abdomen before locking back on mine. "All of you. Have faith."I managed a small nod, leaning into his touch.Though I trusted his strength, the fear still gnawed sharply with our growing family at
