AUSTIN. Lexi fell asleep in my arms, and as much as I just wanted to hold her, she was not in a comfortable position. She might end up with a stiff neck, so I carefully laid her down on the couch before grabbing a pillow and blanket from my room. I could move her to my bed, but I didn’t want her to freak out if she woke up in my bedroom. As soon as she was settled comfortably on the couch and purring nicely in her sleep, I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I also brushed my teeth so no one could smell the alcohol in my breath. I planned to go to her apartment to let Louise know she had fallen asleep, but before I could do that, someone was already knocking on my door. I grabbed the beer bottles in the living room, which were visible from the entrance, and placed them on the kitchen sink before I headed for the door. “Nana…” I greeted her as soon as I opened it. “I was on my way to see you.” “Where is Lexi?” She asked, her eyebrows hiking up. “She fell asleep on th
LEXI. “What will you do on a Friday night then?” I asked him. “Hmmm… Eat Chinese, I think. I’ll have that food to keep me company, so it will still feel like you’re here.” “Me? Do I look Chinese?” “It’s your favorite.” I chuckled softly. “Really? I didn’t even notice that.” “Each time I asked you, even before, what food you wanted me to take out, Chinese was always one of the options.” “Thank you for letting me know it’s my favorite.” I giggled. “So that’s it? Eating Chinese the whole night.” He laughed before he answered. “I might rest for a while and then run.” “Aren’t you tired of training the whole day?” “I don’t really train so much at the gym. I missed pumping up my adrenaline, plus it’s been a long time since I let Atlas out. Running long distances, even in human form, helps him not go insane if he can’t come out.” “You’ll be back at the territory soon,” I said and my heart clenched. I would surely miss him. “I know. And the first thing I will do the moment my car s
AUSTIN. THREE HOURS AGO. I shook my head after dropping the call with Lexi. I was already upset that they were taking too long to come home. They were just three hours away from where I was, and I could have easily gone there to visit them, but I didn’t want to overstep the boundaries Lexi set. But yes, maybe I did. I drove there one night just to see where she was, but I just checked the neighborhood. There was nothing unusual, and if anything, the place looked calm and secure. I just drove by and went home. I shouldn’t be crucified for that, right? I just wanted to make sure the mother and son were safe. But I did miss them. Not just David. I missed having Lexi around. It had been two weeks of me looking at the wall or the ceiling instead of her face. I realized I would rather stare at her scowling or poker face than the four corners of this apartment. This whole building felt like a ghost town without them. “Two more days, man, and I will see them again,” I mumbled, trying
LEXI. “I want you, Lexi,” Austin grunted as he pressed his front against mine. My pussy clenched at how needy his voice was and how hard his cock was poking at my core. I was just as needy as him. “Fuck me, Austin,” I replied, and his eyes snapped open as he stared at me as if he were reading my soul. There was no denying that I was still sexually attracted to this male, but I did my best to hold on to my sanity for the last six months and not give in to my desire. But I couldn’t anymore. The fact that I thought he was fucking the female I heard moaning in his room was enough to send me over the edge. I wanted him. And I didn’t want him to touch anyone. I was sure I could satisfy him if I wanted to. But this was so wrong. He did me wrong. But I still wanted him. Austin’s mouth crushed into mine as my hold on him tightened. The kisses became explosive, as they’d always been, and I couldn’t help but arch my body, pressing every inch of me into contact with him. “Fuck, Lex
AUSTIN. “Fuck! I didn’t pull out!” I exclaimed the moment I remembered what we did and how I finished off at the fire exit.“Lexi’s eyes widened as she stared at me, dumbfounded. “Oh, Goddess! Are we ready for another baby?” “I don’t know,” I answered honestly, but I realized what I just said, so I continued right away before she was able to get a grip on what came out of my mouth. “But I’m sure I’m not walking away this time.”But she still wasn’t smiling.“I just finished my period a few days ago, so maybe it won’t…” She paused before she continued. “And I feel it dripping out of me.”My head snapped down, and true to her words, she had traces of cum sliding down her thighs. “Holy fuck!” I muttered under my breath before I took off my shirt and crouched in front of her, wiping the liquid off her legs as well as on her pussy using it. “We need to clean you up.”“I can clean myself, Austin.” She said, her hand landing on my shoulder as she put weight on me. She was holding me for s
LEXI. My eyes snapped open when I heard David whimper, and the first thing I saw was a dark figure hovering over his crib. I was about to scream when it registered on me that it was Austin. Instead of relief, my eyes watered as fear surged through me. I wanted to scream and run to them, but I was held immobile by my fears. “Shh…” It was Austin, and my heart thundered. “It’s okay, little fur ball. Mommy is asleep, but Daddy is here. Do you want milk?” He was talking so softly, and when it registered to me that he was offering milk and was not taking him away while I slept, it made me let out a soft sob. “Are you okay?” Austin asked the moment he turned around, and at the same time, I dropped my gaze to the bed. I nodded my head, but I didn’t look at him. I felt guilty for thinking that way, but I couldn’t help it. “Do you want to feed him, or should I offer the bottle to him?” “Take him here…” I said as I wiped my tears. “Do you feed him lying down or sitting up?” He asked in
LEXI. A lot of things happened in the course of two months. Austin left, and I felt empty. I waited for him to invite us to the territory, but the invite never came. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I was heartbroken. I badly wanted to ask him if we could stay with him for a while, but I didn’t have the courage either. I had always been a confident female, but Austin and the possibility of rejection still lingered in my head. He did visit us, but it wasn’t as often as he promised, and at times, he would just spend an hour or two. I shouldn’t be complaining because whatever he lacked in presence, he would make up for the financial support. Alpha Jace gave him three months’ advance salary, and he dumped the two months in my bank account. He then told me I was already hired as his new assistant, and my job was to keep David company and make myself happy. I didn’t say more, but I didn’t take the job I said I would take.Besides, Nana was right — David was too young to
LEXI. I just got off the phone with Mama Janna when my phone rang again after just a few minutes. Austin was calling. His mother probably told him what we talked about. She invited me to stay with them for a month or two, and permanently if I ended up liking it there. She also promised to help me find a suitable hospital if, later on, I decided to work again. I agreed, but we decided to wait another six weeks as it was a stressful time there at the moment, including for Austin, who has barely stayed at the packhouse lately. Aside from the pack, they also had ongoing classes for the Shadow Academy, so he was doubling up his work hours to make sure he covered all necessary measures to avoid any incident there, too. They had no idea if Alpha Maddox had already found out they had Catherine, but they were sure he would be keeping an eye on their pack. “Hi!” I answered the phone after I placed David on the carpeted floor so he could play while I talked with him. “Mom told me you’d be
