Tyler’s POV Being without Lexie is driving me mad and if I had to force her into this union between the two of us to keep my sanity and to know that she is safe, but hates me, I would. Watching her every night for the past few months crying herself to sleep, not able to hold her and comfort her, has killed a part of me each day. I know I fucked up bad, but she hasn’t given me the chance to make it up to her and I find myself having to revert to my old ways to make her see how sorry I am. Once we are married, she will be forced to see that I know I did wrong, and I will spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to her. The day Lexie took off and the only and last conversation that we have had in the last couple of months hit me hard. She was in so much pain and she believed that I had no clue how much this was killing her losing her twins. No, I wasn’t the father, but I still grieved for their loss and the loss of being with her because of it. The pilot of my private jet cam
Lexie’s POV Last night thankfully I had slept knowing that I was under the protection of the Boracay pack and that Tyler was still in flight here, but as I rose from my sleep the dread of what today brought began to bring on the anxiety that I had been getting since that day in Jamaica. I hated the fact that Tyler had reduced me to the person I had become. Reaching for my cell phone I looked at it, hoping that there would be a text message from Samuel but unfortunately, he was still in flight himself and a half a day behind Tyler getting here. I could only hope that Lena could fool Tyler long enough for Samuel and Xavier to arrive. A knock on my door startled me and I took a second to compose myself before I called out, “Yes.” On the other side of the door, I heard Dane’s voice say, “My father, the Alpha, would like you to join him for breakfast.” “Give me a minute to freshen up and I will be right down.” I said back to him through the closed door as I got to my feet and hea
Tyler’s POV It was as if I moved at the speed of light to our king suite as my lips barely moved from Lexie’s. All I could think about was consummating our union and I could feel Lexie’s need for me through our bond which was now thriving more than it ever had before. It was as if an awakening had happened with our union bringing us even closer than ever. Once in our room, I kicked the door shut behind me, as the need to be inside my bride became almost painful. My cock was now so hard for her it was straining against the fabric of my pants, and I needed desperately to release it. Lowering Lexie to the floor she turned for me to unzip the wedding dress that she had on. The dress fell to the floor, exposing her bare flesh beneath it and the only thing she stood in front of me with was a white lacey thong. A growl slipped from my lips at the sight of her and I couldn’t bear another second not being inside of her. Quickly, I began to tear my clothes off as Lexie moved towards the
Samuel’s POV When I had found out that Tyler was going to Boracay and forcing Lexie to marry him, something inside of me snapped. For the first time since we laid the twins to rest here on pack lands, I felt awakened, and I knew I had to go to her. Every molecule of my being screamed that I needed to be with her now and when I called her and she said she needed me, I closed my eyes and thanked the Moon Goddess that this was really happening. I had prayed for months to the Moon Goddess to bring the two of us back together and finally she had listened to my desperate prayers. Being apart from Lexie felt like a part of my soul was missing and that I was just a half empty shell of a man roaming this plane without her. I knew the only way I would ever feel whole, is if I was with her once again and if I had that chance, I was going to make sure that I bare my soul to her of how much she truly meant to me. There wasn’t anything that I wouldn’t do to be a part of her life and I was goi
Lexie’s POV Even though there were hundreds of guests here for our union, it only felt like it was just Samuel and I here on the altar ready to seal our union making us one. All my fears of Samuel not saying yes to me went away as soon as I saw the love in his eyes for me. I knew without a doubt that he was the man for me that would love me even after the end of time. The Alpha of the Boracay pack now stepped onto the altar and everyone became quiet at his appearance. “Thank you all for coming at short notice to bear witness to the union of the late Selena Raven Thomas’s daughter, Lexie Thomas, to the brother of the King of Alphas, Samuel Michaels. This union between the two royal families, shall bring the peace back between the sirens and the wolves as Lexie will take her place as our Queen and her mate as our King.” The Alpha said as the guests began to clap at hearing that the long-time feud between the two will be over. Samuel then turned to me, and his eyebrow raised before he
Tyler’s POV How could I have been so blinded not to read into all the signs that were right there in front of me. Yes, Lena looked just like Lexie, but I should have known after our last encounter on pack lands that she wouldn’t have taken this union with open arms like Lena just did. I felt like I had been played for a fool and my now wife was the one that had played me. If I hadn’t found out today that she wasn’t Lexie, how long would she have played the role of her? As for Lexie, she had married Samuel and there was nothing I could do about making her mine, without causing a war between Xavier and I, and that would put Emily in the middle of this all. Plus, I had to watch myself since I was on pack lands in another country. I had no jurisdiction here. The Alpha had made it very clear that the contract that was made between my parents and the Thomas family was fulfilled because I had married one of their girls. Looking at Lena on my arm as she moves us around the party introdu
Samuel’s POV All my prayers to the Moon Goddess had finally come true today. I had been so lost since Lexie wasn’t a part of my life and after losing the twins, I was holding on to life by a thread in hope that Lexie would see our love and our bond for what it truly was. But I knew that she didn’t feel the pull like I did and it didn’t pain her like it pained me to be away from her. So I held onto the hope that one day her eyes would be opened and that she would see me once again as the man for her and today was that day that I so longed for. After making love and marking my beautiful bride as mine, we headed back downstairs to socialize with our guests and I was eager to get to know the pack of this island, since I was now their King. I never imagined that I would ever hold the title of a King, due to the fact that I was second born in my family and my brother Xavier held the title of it in our region. But here I am chosen by my mate to be her King and it felt amazing to be Lexie
Lexie’s POV A growl rumbling from Samuel’s chest woke me and I realized that I was in his arms and he had carried me to our room. But the question was, who was he growling at? That question was answered as soon as I tilted my head to the side and saw Tyler standing in front of us. Out of all the hotels on this island how did we end up at the same hotel as him. “Lexie, I see you woke, is it that boring being married to Samuel already that you fell asleep on your wedding night?” Tyler said to me taunting Samuel. Samuel began to lower me to the ground and when my feet hit the floor, I quickly moved between the two men and looked at Tyler and said, “I think I liked you better when you didn’t speak much to me. At least then you didn’t sound like an asshole all the time.” Tyler then began to chuckle before he said, “Well I think I liked you better before you started spreading your legs for the hired help.” My hands balled into fist and before I knew it, my fist connected with Tyle
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.
