Here are two for today! Austin is moving back to the BSP territory (and so are we!) 💖 Thank you for waiting and for all the lovely gems!!!
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
LEXI. “Do you need help?” Scott’s voice sent shivers down my spine, and I felt my knees buckle from fear. I shouldn’t have relaxed. I should have checked if he was already free from where he was. I slowly spun my body around, ready to act bravely, when his hand gripped my jaw, and the next thing I knew, I was dragged to the other side of the corridor, and my back slammed against the wall. Pain rippled through my whole body as tears formed in my eyes. I shouldn’t cry. I shouldn’t cry.He liked it when I did. “Did you think you could get away from me, little mouse? Didn’t I tell you I would come back for you?”He pressed his body against mine, and my hold on the unfolded boxes tightened. It was my only barrier against his body. “Let me go…” I forced myself to speak, but my jaw was hurting. I didn’t feel this pain for a long time, and I forgot how painful his grips were. “I heard you have a baby… What happened to ‘I’m infertile?’ Huh? You fucking liar! Where is he?”My mind went
AUSTIN. “He’s my ex,” Lexi told me. “The asshole ex you were telling me?” She nodded. “I thought he was just suffocating you by being possessive. Has he hurt you like that before?” She nodded. “Why the fuck didn’t you tell me?” “Why would I tell you? We were just fuck buddies, remember?” She said in a loud voice before she struggled away from my arms. I loosened my arms around her, and she moved away, heading for the couch. “I finally broke up with him after two years and filed a restraining order for him. But before I could file a case against him, someone reported him for attempted rape. He was convicted and was given seven years, so I thought I would be able to live free of him for seven years. If I knew he was back, I would not have stayed here.” She sat down and wiped her tears. “Why didn’t you tell us? Or Mom or Dad? You know they will not abandon you!” I followed her and crouched in front of her. “I’m not your family! Remember when you said that? You said I kept me
AUSTIN. As soon as we arrived at my grandparents’ home, I explained to them what had happened without giving too many details about Lexi’s past. I just notified them that her psychotic ex-boyfriend came back, and it seemed he wanted to hurt Lexi and David. Grandma was obviously upset and heartbroken, as it did bring back memories of Mom’s horrible experience when I was still in her womb. But I was glad that when I told them my plan of taking Lexi and David home with me, they supported it right away. Grandpa let me borrow one of their cars, and they volunteered to convoy with us up to the territory. I didn’t want to bother them, but they insisted, as they also wanted to visit the family. So, this spontaneous trip turned out to be a family affair. Lexi couldn’t say anything. She was probably overwhelmed by how my grandparents were reacting and extending help. Especially when Grandma said she would take care of her things at the apartment. Grandma had a cleaning business, so it
AUSTIN. I leaned my forearms on the balcony railings outside my training building office as I watched Lexi warm up to begin her first training session with Harlene. I would have wanted to personally train her, but she refused. She probably thought I would be too hard on her. But later on, I also realized that it would be best for another warrior to handle her instead of me. Because I was sure I would not be able to get my hands off her. I licked my lips before a sly grin cracked on my face when I saw her bent down, hiking her ass up in my direction as she tried to reach her toes. ‘Tell me you did that on purpose.’ I mindlinked her after checking the grounds below me, and I confirmed no one was there, as well as the grounds between us. I was the only one in direct parallel to her ass. ‘Maybe, maybe not.’ She answered confidently. ‘Am I stretching right?’ I straightened up my posture and crossed my arms across my chest. ‘Hmmm. You can do better. Open those legs wider and a littl
LEXI.“Are you not joining Austin for the full moon run?” Luna Amara asked as she sat on the couch in front of me. We just finished an early dinner as Austin, together with the Alpha and Beta, would be handling pups shifting tonight. I was at the pups’ nursery with the Luna, letting our sons play a bit before they slept.“No… He asked if I wanted to come, but I don’t think I am needed there.”“As the future Gamma Female, I suggest you go there.” She said.“I agree.” Catherine butted in. I didn’t know she had entered the room. “I’m not Austin’s female.” I smiled at them, and as much as I wanted not to feel embarrassed by these words, I couldn’t stop my cheeks from burning. They didn’t say anything, but they exchanged gazes with each other. “What?” I softly chuckled. “Not fair. Share it with me.”“Amara already told Austin she likes you as her Gamma Female…” Catherine said without hesitation this time.“Don’t take it the wrong way. Of course, Austin gets to choose who he wants, not
LEXI. “Now, stop being bossy and be a good girl. Let me boss you around tonight.” His breath fanned against my skin, making me swallow hard. I discreetly clamped my legs together. His words sent shivers down my spine and my core, and I was sure something leaked in between my thighs. Austin needed to stop doing this. I just found myself shutting my mouth and nodding my head. “Good girl.” He kissed my cheek before brushing the spot with his thumb. “I will just check on them. You can come with me.” I shook my head. “I’m fine here.” He nodded, and I watched as he walked toward where the Alpha and the Beta were standing with Marshall. I sank myself into the shadowed area of the clearing as I watched young male pups begin screeching in pain. There were seven pups shifting — two females and five males. It was a rare occurrence to have this many, as shifting happens on the last full moon before a shifter turns eighteen. Not many pups were born in the same month, so Austin was excited
