Stephen’s POV “You had one job little brother and that was to keep the dog away while I sealed the deal with the princess.” I barked at my brother as we placed Samuel into a cell in the basement. It took ten of my men to put him down and a needle to his neck of wolfbane to stop him. He was definitely stronger than we anticipated and I hoped that the cell could hold him. “You need to get going and seal the ritual before night’s end.” My mother said once again barking orders to me. “Is she awake yet?” I asked my mother. “No but does it matter?” She then asked and anger built up inside of me. “Yes, it matters. I will not take it without consent. She is my mate and she felt it right before the damn dog got in the way.” I explained to my mother. “So, if she doesn’t wake, you will wait another month?” My mother now asks with sarcasm. “If she doesn’t wake then yes, we will have to wait till next month.” I say as I turn and walk up the steps to my bedroom where I know Lexie is i
Lexie’s POV Soft warm lips moved across my flesh and I moaned to the feel it was giving me. The lips moved down my neck and to my breast and I arched my back off the bed wanting more. The lips then moved south and rested between my thighs and then I felt them lick the whole way up my soaked pussy as I moaned out in pleasure. This was undeniably the most amazing thing I had ever felt in my life and I wanted more. As if reading my thoughts, the lips then began to devour me and I screamed out a moan not able to hold it in. As I could feel a release building inside of me at a lightning speed. The lips then pulled away and then I felt the person enter me in one fluent motion. I let out a gasp as I tried to find something to hold onto and then the person leaned forward and said, “Drink from me queen.” My siren side took control and my teeth elongated and sunk my teeth into the flesh before me remembering the sweet taste of his essence on my tongue. He continued thrusting in me as my p
Lexie’s POV The days here at the house began to pass by and I feel like a prisoner of my own body. My siren side calls to Stephen but my heart is somewhere else. For some reason, Tyler is on my mind even though I know he is gone but a part of me wishes he was here with me now and I wonder if the sirens are right about me drinking from Samuel because as the days pass by, I feel less connected to him but my heart still cares for him and the time we have spent together and I just pray that he is okay wherever he is. Stephen has tried to make me drink from him, but I tell him I am not hungry as I can feel my body going into a depression state of mind as I lose all hope as the days pass that someone will come looking for me even though I know the wedding isn’t till Saturday. My sickness has returned with a vengeance and I find myself in the bathroom and bed ridden for the majority of my days and I have no clue why I have been feeling this way. All I want to do is curl up on the bed a
Xavier’s POV It has been days now since I heard from Samuel and it was unlike him not to call. The last conversation that we had was when they were invited to a dinner with the sirens and it had me worried that something had gone wrong. I took the liberty to investigate into the sirens that lived on the island and with more reach I found that the one family that resided there was of royal blood and it made me wonder if they wanted Lexie because she was of royal blood too. Something just felt off about the whole situation and I was worried for Lexie and my brother too and decided to talk to Tyler about it when he arrives here later today. I have kept Emily out of it for now because of the wedding coming up but I know if Lexie isn’t here for the wedding, she will be postponing it. Just then a call came through my home line and I saw it was from Jamaica and I quickly answered the call hoping it was Samuel but instead it was the realtor telling me that Samuel and his wife missed the
Tyler’s POV As soon as Xavier pulled Jacob into the covering of the trees, I knew we had our guy caught and it was just a matter of time before we had him talking. “Where are they?” Xavier asked Jacob as he pinned him to a tree. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” Jacob said as Xavier’s hand tightened around his neck. “I wouldn’t play stupid with him boy.” I said to Jacob as I got into his view and then said, “Have you ever seen an Alpha partially shift? His claws can come out without shifting and tear you to pieces before you know it.” Fear then struck the boy as Xavier showed him with his free hand it was possible as his claws extended from his hand and Jacobs eyes got big at the sight of them. “Now are you going to tell us where they are or is Xavier here going to slice and dice you?” I asked the boy. Jacob then began to plead for his life and then he said, “My brother will kill me if I tell you.” And that’s when I knew we had what we needed to get them back. “
Lexie’s POV “Tyler.” Slipped from my lips as I thought I was still dreaming as I looked upon my dead mate. He had come to me in my dream as if he knew I was thinking about him and our possible child together. “Baby you got to wake up.” He said to me as his hands touch my flesh and didn’t retract from me. I knew I had to be dreaming because he would never be able to touch me because of Chase marking me. “I don’t want to wake up. I want to stay here with you. I miss you, Tyler. Everything is so messed up without you and now I am pregnant, and you aren’t here with me to raise the child.” I said to him as tears fall from my eyes. Tyler looked at me in shock and then asked, “You are pregnant?” “Yes, and I don’t know how I am going to raise this baby without you. Why did you have to die on me? We never got our happy ending.” I tell him as tears continue to fall down my cheeks. “Dead? Baby you need to fully wake up. I am here with you and you don’t have to raise the baby alone.”
Tyler’s POV Turning I pulled Lexie behind me to protect her as I stared at the woman, I assumed was Stephen’s mother and said, “She is going home with me. She is mine.” Sylvia began to laugh, and her eyes began to glow a bright green before she said, “Silly immortal, she is not your mate, and she never will be. She is home here with my son exactly where she belongs.” A growl slipped from my lips, and I could see her eyes widen and then she says, “It can’t be. You’re immune.” She then looked at Lexie who was peering around my back at her. “Is he your mate?” She asked Lexie. “He is my true mate.” Lexie told her and I tightened my hold on Lexie not wanting her to do anything stupid. “I thought the dog was your mate.” She then said and I could see the confusion in her face. “Samuel is not her mate.” I said through gritted teeth. “And who are you?” The women now ask me. “I am the Immortal King and if she doesn’t leave with me now, I will bring hell down on you and your fa
Lexie’s POV All my previous anger towards Tyler had washed away the minute that I was actually in his arms and I could feel his love towards me. There was no wall up blocking me from his emotions towards me and I was getting all of Tyler. The actual feel of his body against my own also felt so right like I was meant to be here and his words of wanting me and the baby regardless of if it was his also made my heart melt for him. Something I had noticed since he and I marked each other was that the nausea has disappeared and I felt so much better. I wonder if the little one inside me was recognizing its father is now near us. Or maybe it was Tyler’s blood that had soothed our child within me. Either way I was feeling better and I felt like I was home in Tyler’s arms. “When we get home, I am going to make you fully mine. I am going to take you in every way possible making you to never desire another man.” Tyler says to me as he pulls me closer into his arms and I instantly become ar
Lexie’s POV One could say I was a bit nervous as I was to say my vows once again. This time things were a bit different than the last time and this time I had my best friend by my side as I waited for the wedding to start. Xavier then entered the room I was waiting in with Emily and quickly moved to her, placing his hand on her now extremely large belly. “How are you feeling?” He asked her concerned that she was ready to pop at any moment. She swatted his hand away and said to him, “I am not having this baby until I see my best friend marry my brother.” Xavier chuckled at her and then gave her a kiss before he turned to me and said, “I am happy for you today and I know that my brother is happy to see you are happy once again too. Tyler and Samuel may not have seen eye to eye on a lot of things, but the one thing that the both of them agreed on was that you were the one for them.” I could feel tears starting to pool behind my lids and Emily says to Xavier, “Get out of here before
Lexie’s POV After my talk with Emily, I headed home to my empty house. Pulling into the driveway with only the motion senser light turning on to my arrival and then opening a locked door with no one waiting on the other side to greet me, made me realize how alone in this world I really was. Laying my purse on the counter I walked over and slumped onto my couch with a million things now running through my head. Maybe Emily shouldn’t have told me about Tyler’s situation, like he asked her not to. I had been fine before all of this. I was beginning to be able to function normally in this world on my own. I was on my way to recovering and now I am sitting here thinking about him, trying to convince myself that I am happy all in this world alone without him. Yes, the last couple months had been rough, but I made it through them without him. I didn’t need him in my life and I was perfectly happy without him in it, I kept telling myself, but my heart began to ache the more I thought ab
Lexie’s POV Today was a huge milestone as it has been two months now on my own without Derrick by my side and I have been taking baby steps daily towards my old lifestyle. Each day has been a challenge for me but I have been trying to be positive moving forward in my life. It has also been months since I have talked to Tyler and I had met up with Lena and Emily a few times for lunch, but Lena seemed a little bit standoffish towards me and I don’t blame her. I knew she and Tyler were trying to make their marriage work even though that is what she had run from in the first place, but I could tell that she had resentment towards me, and I had no clue why. I had stayed away from Tyler not wanting to interfere in their relationship and I thought I was doing the right thing by doing so. Lena was my sister, there was no doubt about that but the two of us had been raised so differently that we really didn’t have much in common, unlike her and Emily. I had been asked many times to go sho
Lexie’s POV I watched as the real Lena walked directly to Tyler wrapping her arms around him and I could see the happiness in her eyes from being with him. It was a happiness that I used to have long ago when the two of us were together. “Lena, I want to introduce your twin sister to you, Lexie.” Tyler said to her and she turned my way like she hadn’t noticed me when she walked up to Tyler. “Wow, Tyler wasn’t kidding when he said we looked identical. I’m sorry where are my manners, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. You will have to forgive my hesitation to embrace you, after what I have been through with our family. I hope that we can get to know one another, and I can find it in me to trust you. Tyler told me what happened to all of you on the island and I am sorry for your loss.” I knew exactly what she meant by having to find it in her to trust me because I also had the same feeling inside of me after what I had been through. “Don’t feel sorry for the way you feel, I hav
Lexie’s POV It’s now been a month since we returned from Boracay and still no word from Tyler and I am beginning to worry that something has happened to him too. The walls of the packhouse are starting to feel like a prison and I don’t know how much longer I can stay here. The only time I have left the pack lands is when Emily takes me to see a psychiatrist. After one of my breakdowns, Emily decided it would be a good idea to seek help for me with everything I had been through. Of course, the psychiatrist was a wolf and I could talk freely with her about what really happened. At first, we focused on the deaths of the twins and Samuel but then moved on to my fear of people shapeshifting, which seemed to be my biggest fear. Unfortunately, the treatments weren’t working so well and it was due to the amount of trauma I had been through in such a short period of time. I had no clue if I would ever live a normal life after everything I had seen. Derrick was once again assigned to me
Lexie’s POV Today was the second hardest day of my life laying Samuel to rest between his twin brother and our twins. Sophia didn’t blame me for her son’s death but welcomed me with open arms to their family. Even though Samuel’s family held no ill will against me for his death, I still felt the guilt on my shoulders. As Samuel’s celebration of life gathering happens, I sit in the corner of the room with my head down not knowing exactly if I belonged here. Yes, we were celebrating the life he lived and I was certainly a part of that life, but I felt out of place now among the wolves without him by my side. It had been a full week that I have been here at the packhouse and Emily has done her best to be by my side, but I feel so lost being here in Samuel’s room alone. Each day that passes I ask Emily if she has heard anything from Tyler and each day it is the same response of no. I had promised Tyler before I left the island that I would stay at the packhouse for my safety, but th
Lexie’s POV When Tyler and Xavier emerged from the packhouse I thought it was all over with but I was so wrong, by the look on their faces. Quickly, I stood up from the step I was sitting on as they walked towards me. I knew I had to look like a hot mess after all the crying I have been doing but I could care less. “What is it?” I asked them, wanting to know why they had the look on their faces that they had. Tyler shook his head, not able to say what needed to be said, which left Xavier to tell me, “It’s about Lena.” “What about Lena?” I asked him, confused as I looked up at the door to the house like she was going to walk out of it. “That wasn’t Lena I just killed in the house.” Xavier tells me and I furrow my eyebrows at him confused at what he is telling me. “Then who was it?” I asked him wanting to know who it could have possibly had been if it wasn’t Lena. “We don’t know who she was but we know it wasn’t Lena.” Xavier says and I start shaking my head not understand
Lexie’s POV “Derrick, is everyone okay?” I asked him as I looked at the gate to the packhouse. “Lexie, you shouldn’t be here, its not fully secured yet.” Derrick tells me and I begin to worry what is happening behind that broken down gate. “Have they found Xavier?” I asked him, hoping he would at least know that to tell me. “Yes, he was being held in one of the cabins on the property. He is with Tyler and they are securing the area as we speak.” Derrick told me and I felt a bit of relief wash over me but there was still the fact that I hadn’t heard from Samuel yet. “What about Samuel and my family?” I asked him and I noticed a change in his posture when I mentioned Samuel. “Lexie, I think it would be best if Xavier talks to you.” Derrick says to me and the pain that was there last night overtook me and I knew in my heart that it had to do with Samuel. “I want to speak with Xavier now.” I told Derrick and he began to shake his head no to me. Before he could say a word, I
Lexie’s POV It wasn’t quite morning when I heard Tyler’s voice talking to someone and as I listened, I realized that his men had arrived. Rolling over in the bed I watched him as he was giving the man on the other end of the line orders. He was in his element and he was used to people listening to him, unlike myself. Tyler looked over at the bed and he saw my eyes on him and he quickly finished the call as he walked over to the bed to me. With a groggy morning voice, I asked him, “What time is it?” “It’s almost four am. Why don’t you go back to sleep and I will wake you later.” Tyler said to me as he sat on the edge of the bed and ran his fingers through my hair and I closed my eyes relishing his gentle touch. I knew it was wrong of me to love the feel of it but my body was craving him and what he was doing was innocent or at least that was what I was telling myself. “Will you hold me in your arms again till I fall back to sleep.” I asked him as I curled up in the blanket.
