Duke povMy mate is gone and I'm still sitting on the floor staring at the bed holding her body. I only got a few days with her and I fucking hate it. She gave me two beautiful pups before her death and I'm totally lost. Kat is sedated now she flipped out screaming so Jonathan had her sedated.My pups have no mother now thanks to Fred, Edith and Dwight. All three are dead I made sure of that and right in front of their pack. Whoever blindly followed them were dead. The women were still sitting on our pack grounds but none tried to flee. "Duke, I hear Jonathan but don't move, can I help you up?",tears still run down my face but I make no moves to wipe them.She is gone."no",I whisper my throat hoarse from screaming and crying. "I'm here Duke, he sits beside me, I'm here if you need me brother",I don't look at him my focus stays on my mate willing her to come back. "beta, I hear doc above us, it is time to move her",I hear how his voice wobbles the poor man tried for three hours to b
Duke pov May is still in bed and nothing I mean absolutely nothing I say works. She just doesn't care one bit. "you don't have to be here, she doesn't turn to look at me, just go mourn and take care of your pups",so she wants us out. "I'm beta I can stay where I want",she just sighs. "just go Duke I'm in no mood to fight",she really is withdrawn Silas whimpers. Mate wants death he adds choking up. "I will come back later",she doesn't respond and I walk out heading to the office. Walking in Kat sighs as she sits on the couch. "were you with her?",I glance at her. "yes",she glares at me. "my mom hasn't been dead long and your moving on",yes this is bitter Kat and I ignore her shit. "it has been over a year and I fucking let my second chance mate sit in a fucking cell to please you and everybody else!, she looks surprised I'm pissed and yelling, now she is refusing her meds and food so she can die. You may get your fucking wish Kat but know this I would not wish this pa
May povI'm holding the cutest little boy ever as he eats pancakes and I drink my broth. I had to explain I was sick and unable to eat pancakes with him and he looked sad."I share with you",but I nod no."sorry baby I can't eat that yet but when I can I will share with you",I absolutely love kids but I won't let Duke know that. He probably doesn't want me in any way because I was raped. I still have freaking nightmares and flashbacks."okay we snuggle?",I look at him and melt."sure but first I gotta potty",he giggles something I love to hear. Duke looks at him and looks relieved I bet this little guy misses his mom so damn much. I push the call light and doc walks in."you rang?",I smile."I gotta potty",I smile at Lucas softly. He pushes my blanket back and tries to help me up but I stop him."I'm to big baby, I ruffle his hair, but thanks I come back we can snuggle and watch cartoons ",he nods happy and I walk to the bathroom and hold in tears. I always wanted pups but I know damn
Duke povI felt her fucking panic attack and heard her scream no over and over. I got inside and she was in a corner sobbing. Pulling her in my arms I'm met with resistance and I hate it. I should of never told her I didn't want her or she would never be a mom. Her panic attacks alone make me feel sick. That bastard raped my mate numerous times and I couldn't kill him."your fine, I soothe rubbing her hair, just relax",she hiccups and I find it cute. She tries to take a few deep breaths to calm herself. She has these alone Silas hisses at me."I'm okay you can let me up now",she wants to leave my arms but I refuse to let go."stay still",I order gruffly. "I'm good now I just want to lay down Duke",she yawns so I stand and head to her room. Her eyes hold fear but all I do is lay us down and snuggle her. She is shaking as I rub her arms and back."who did it?",I wait as she shudders."all of them, her voice breaks, Dwight, Fred and Mark all did it. His bitch Edith watched",she whimpers
May povI wake and I'm not alone but I slept better then I ever had in years.I slowly open my eyes and Duke stayed all night which surprised me. I try to move but he holds on."a few more minutes Helen ",I hold in tears and wretch myself away angry he called me her name. He came awake shocked but I stormed off and slammed the door. I locked it and he sighed loud"May I'm sorry",he called through the door but I ignored him. He called me her name and it hurts.Its fine you can go",I brush my teeth tears swimming in my eyes."I'm really sorry I know your not her May",of course he knows but it still fucking hurts."it's fine Duke just go do what you need to I'm okay",he sighs and I wash my face but more tears fall. He hurt me again but I do know it wasn't intentional this time."come out May",he is still here. I sigh and look at my face you can't tell I cried guess that is a good thing. I open the door and he looks at me worried. "see I'm fine Duke you can go",he sighs."I didn't mean to
Duke pov She scared the life from Jonathan and me waking up screaming like that. We both scrambled for her as she scooted away after jerking awake. Took a few for her to realize she was safe and here not back with them. "I wish I can gut them all",I mind link Jonathan as she clings to me which is progress to me because before she didn't want close to me at all. The talk we had was all over the place but we talked and I hope to have more talks with her. She is on my lap as I work and I'm purring to calm her. Jonathan is even purring which makes me smile. He looked gutted when she yelled no not again and it hit me hard. She can't keep being alone at her apartment because these attacks are draining. "is she awake?",he ask in our mind link looking over at us. "I think so",I link back. When she fell asleep earlier I put her on the couch and pulled my shirt back on. I covered her up and Jonathan walked in and went to work. We both were working when she screamed loud scaring us. "think
May pov I'm pumping his cock and he moans for me but I'm totally unsure if I'm doing it right. I talked to Emma about wanting to touch him and she suggested trying so here I am fisting a huge cock and am totally amazed cum is leaking out. He growls as he leaks and I get an urge to taste him. When he closes his eyes I squeeze my thighs together. Duke is showing incredible restraint as I pump his cock and I'm liking it. "good job baby",he groans as I keep going. "can I lick it?",his eyes shoot open and I see heat fill them. He wants me I'm not totally stupid to this stuff I just never had an option to say yes or no to sex. Duke said the choice is mine. "if you want May but shouldn't we slow down. What is going on?",I'm embarrassed but I feel so drawn to him and the few times I was in his lap I felt him hard as stone under my ass. He never thrust it against me just sits holding me. I want to explore to see if I can have sex and not freak out. Emma said mates don't hurt you during se
Duke pov We used nothing. "your a total piece of shit!",Jonathan yelled at me. "her heat hit Jonathan and protection never crossed my mind",he growled. "I bet she is pregnant and you pull all this guilt shit",I sigh. "it took a year to mourn Laura and after that I fucked around but getting another chance I embraced it because Kat deserved my whole heart just like May deserves yours. You fucked this up and you alone will fix it",he leaves slamming the door hard. I sit awhile before worry hits. I run to May's place and her friend Jenny glares at me. "she won't stop sobbing, she growled, all day and night because of you. You don't deserve someone like her and you know it. I hope she rejects you",she storms off and I hurry to May's apartment. I pick the lock and sneak in. I smell her in her room asleep so I tip toe my way back to check her. Walking in my gut clenches she has dark circles under her eyes again and she is curled up clutching a pillow. All our progress went right down th
Duke pov Jonathan and I began training our boys for their future which I knew would be stressful. It was tedious both both excelled at learning for their positions. "good job boys",we finished the training and headed home. Next week was paperwork training which I knew both would hate. We don't always fight which I know both like to do. We train everyday to stay strong but learning the full beta and alpha positions comes with work you will hate. I don't know what I'm going ti do when I finally hand over the reigns since I've been in this position since I was eighteen. "I'm hungry ",both mumbled. "we ate before training ",I'm shocked. "growing boy dad",is said as they run off. I get a frantic dad mom fell before I'm racing to my mate scared shit less. Busting in the door I brace myself for the worst. "I'm okay I swear",I hear her as Lucas panics. "don't move!",he screams at her. "you did not just yell at me young man",she pipes back. "yes I did your being stubborn you fell h
May povIt has been years since the warlock and rogue attack and our combined pack and coven has flourished. Lucas is about to shift at thirteen into his wolf and his training will begin to control his wolf. Duke has been worried for years and I can't say I blame him. Lucas is extremely strong and watching him with his siblings brings me joy."mom, I turn to see Lucas covered in mud, I'm home",I gasp as the twins are also muddy."what on earth?",they look guilty but Duke walking in carrying the others makes my eyes go huge."we are sorry",all the kids chime in."who is going to clean this up?",I start to tear up I just cleaned the house. I'm expecting a pup next month and I'm nesting already."baby no don't cry, Duke begs and the kids look frantic as I sniffle, we will clean it",I turn and wipe my cheeks. "I'm sorry mama",is said as they hurry to the bathrooms. We moved because we have more pups and Duke loves it. We needed more room for them anyway. I feel arms wrap around my waist a
May pov Two weeks went by and I'm training daily to prepare for only goddess knows. Faith is the main one I train with and I absolutely love her. Morganna has been awesome and doesn't fight me on stuff just helps. "good job today May",Faith smiles as we drink from our water bottles. "thanks Faith I appreciate all the help",I drink more. "your a fast learner and I find you easy to train",we both chuckle. "thanks your the best teacher ever",we wrap up and I head home my guards beside me. "are you hungry May?",I nod no as we walk. "Duke said to order food and meet him in the office",I nod and pull out my cell phone. After ordering I head to see my man and get some kisses. He looks thrilled to see me and I'm kissing him till a throat clears. "who is this Duke?",a voice breaks my happy mood and I turn to see a female I never met before. "Fern this is my mate May",she looks me over and I see disgust enter her eyes. Duke misses it but I don't. "baby this is Fern the alpha's daught
Duke pov I'm hugging May tight as she sobs in my neck. Jonathan and the witches run in and take in our living room which has chunks of human everywhere. "holy shit!",Jonathan exclaims looking at us. "I killed him!",May sobs loud. "baby you saved my life he was about to kill me",I felt her trembling. "I just snapped",she cried and next thing I know human bomb exploded all over our living room",fuck it is nasty. I ease us up and cough a little. My throat is sore as hell. "so Duke is the thing that triggers your witch",Liza looks around amused. "this is not fucking funny Liza, May scolds her, I know he was a bad person but I just killed him",May growls. "I don't find it funny May I find it awesome the others coming won't hesitate to kill everyone you love even your pups so one piece of shit down many more to go",she makes my skin crawl at times. "your blood thirsty,May glares at her, this will be your downfall",I'm shocked but I know her witch half is still on edge. "I'm spea
May povMy mate is laying there passed out and blood drips from his mouth. My witch whimpers seeing him like this. Mate is cried out and I swiftly come down and run to him. I was floating briefly but I feel powerful now."Duke",I cry touching him."May let us help",Faith moves to me."Duke",I sob wanting him awake."we healed him May, she touches my arm, he is alive". "thank you",I face my coven and get smiles.Jonathan helps Duke up and he even looks relieved he will be okay but I'm devastated. "Duke please wake up",I feel panicked. He has to wake I can't do this."he will my grand high witch", is voiced as all the witches stand and chant. Duke coughs and wakes with a start. He quickly gathers me tight to him while I cry."you did good my love, he cups my face and wipes my cheeks, I'm so proud of you baby",he holds me tight to him. "I love you",I collapse in his hold tight as pats my back."I'm fine",he sighs. I was so scared of losing him that I forget we are in a room full of peo
May pov I'm no leader I am stunned by the way things turned out. My mom is dead thanks to Fred and his assholes and apparently she left the witches to me. "thousands of witches want to join our pack",Jonathan sits stunned. "maybe I should leave",May utters tearing up. "what!?",I growl and she whimpers. "thousands of witches want to join so I can lead them Duke and werewolves hate witches, I state, I bet soon everyone here will hate me for being what I am",she chokes up. "no the fuck we won't, a warrior speaks up, your our beta female and we will never hate you",she hiccups as he looks down at her. She smiles a teary smile as he clears his throat and apologizes for talking that way. "its okay, I smile at him and he blushes, I was just thinking out loud. You would be okay being around witches?",he nods. "yes ma'am I don't judge others for their heritage or what they got at birth. Your are also half werewolf so to us your family as well",I teared up and wiped my cheeks. "thank
Duke pov "go go witch power",she said waving her hands it has been a few days of her saying random phrases and Johnathan and I losing it. I haven't laughed this hard in forever. "baby",I kiss her head."go...go...gadget arm",I'm howling and so is Johnathan as she keeps going."inspector gadget, I laughed loud, really my love?",her blush made me happy."I'm trying what I can, she sighed, up...up...and away",Jonathan looks so happy as he watches her trying to make her magic work. I sigh as she thinks of more phrases to try."baby relax",she scrunches her face." supercalifragilisticexpialidocious",she says and we howl in full belly laughs. The guards turn their back to us to compose themselves. "May,I pant, please stop baby",My stomach hurts from laughing so hard." the web ,go web go spider web",she is trying anything even Spiderman."Go Go Power Rangers Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" at this point me and Jonathan don't know what to do with ourselves as we're on the floor still laughi
May povI wake in tears because now we got two more pups. What if he leaves me over this?"I'm sorry Duke",I whimper as he rushes to me"hey my love it is okay we just got blessed with more that is all",he wipes my tears. My stomach went completely flat once our son came out. Doc delivered my placenta and made sure I was good to go before they focused on our pups. Both were healthy and sleeping."but it is two more I thought one was in there Duke",I sobbed. "baby I don't care how many you bless me with as long as your all healthy and safe. I really love you baby",I reach for a hug and he holds me tight kissing me. I need comfort and I hear Silas purr for me.Duke povMay refused to let go so I had to crawl in bed with her so she would settle down. "don't leave me",she whispers as sleep takes her again. I wouldn't leave her for nothing. I kissed her head and looked towards the door and swore I seen Helen smiling as she vanished. I'm a little surprised so I mind link Jonathan."bro I
May povHe rushed in and begged me to believe him and I do but it still hurt to hear. I'm pregnant so my hormones are crazy and hearing you won't amount to the level of love he had for her is devastating. The whole way home Travis tried to comfort me but I stayed quiet. I Iove him with my whole heart and I know he still loves her and I can't fault him over that. I'm the second chance and I'm the fill in. I sobbed before I started dinner so my mind would stop running to that. Thoughts are ugly at times and I wish I could forget everything I heard. "smells good",he rubs my belly and kisses my neck. I want to pull away but I don't. "I wanted to try it",I say softly. I can't seem to stop crying and I blame my pregnancy hormones. He just holds me and I let him. "I'm sorry you got hurt again baby I hate that bitch for putting the thoughts you aren't enough for me because you are. Your my everything and I love you May. Completely, Utterly and with my whole heart",he kisses my mark and I s
