Seraphina POVCallan seemed to be glued to my side the entire next day as I let Allister and Andrew know about the deal I had made. True to his word, Callan paid off the outstanding balances to Alpha Constantine and had ordered several of his warriors to aid in bringing his pack’s medical staff to assess my father. Before I knew it, I we were on our way to the Night Walker Pack. The drive to Callan’s packlands seemed to go in a snails pace. I couldn’t help but allow my mind to wonder to times that I wanted to forget. One memory in particular kept on plaguing me. I was grateful that we were taking a limo to give me some breathing room from the broody alpha that sat across from me.My father and Callan’s father, Alpha Levi, had been great friend’s growing up. Their alliance had been unlike any other in the region and for their time. After Levi had been killed during a border patrol incident, the alliance had begun to deteroriate. The event that solidified the end to the alliance was six
Seraphina POVI looked out the window to find that we were on a long windy driveway that was lined with pine trees. Warm lit lanterns on tall black poles lined the extensive driveway until it reached the cobblestone courtyard driveway that surrounded a gorgeous fountain. That was illuminated by spotlights. The packhouse was an enormous gothic-styled, victorian, mansion with ornate designs on the windows and doors. The small intrinsic details of the architecture made the mansion ooze wealth while also giving off a cold, sterile vibe. The limo pulled up to the large stone staircase that led up to the massive building. A short, stocky man with a receding hairline wearing a black and white butler’s uniform, opened the door for me. I thanked the elderly man and waited for Callan to get out of the limo. “Follow me.” He said cooly as he walked passed me. I was relatively tall for a female, yet still found it nearly impossible to keep up with Callan’s long strides. A small gasp left me as
Seraphina POVI didn’t get more than an hour’s sleep before I needed to get ready to meet Stacy. I put the too tight fabric on and tried to adjust the too-small shirt around my amble breasts.I ripped the shirt off to try another. All of them having the same result. I looked ridiculous with my too short black pants, and my white crisp shirt that had my breasts popping out of. I looked at the clock and noted I only had ten minutes to spare before I needed to report for work. I rifled through my bag and pulled out one of my black sweaters and pulled it over the white blouse. This would have to do.I slowly walked down the stairs where a tall older woman with gray hair pinned up, waited. She looked me up and down before giving me a disgusted look. “You’re late,” She growled. I looked up at the clock to see I still had a minute to spare. “But, it’s not even 7,” I protested.The elderly woman scoffed. “First lesson girly you will learn. To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to b
Callan POVIt had been three days since I had brought Seraphina to my pack. I had done a great job so far at avoiding her. However I felt my willpower dwindle by the second. I couldn’t understand for the life of me why I felt the need to check on Seraphina. Sure I had told her that she would be my Luna, but that was to gain more power. I had no plan of actually wanting to get to know the girl. Instead, I wanted her to earn her keep. After the carelessness her pack’s leadership displayed and her weasel of an ex-husband, I wanted her to learn that I ran my pack very differently. Although I wanted her to learn these things, I couldn’t help this nagging feeling of wanting her close at all times. To help satiate that burning need, I had placed her in a room that shared a wall with my suite. My wolf had been less than impressed when I didn’t bring her to my quarters. ‘Mine.’ he chanted in my head. ‘She’s not ours. Cool down.’ I told my wolf. My wolf had it in his thick-headed mind that
Seraphina POVThe last thing I remembered was being annoyed with Callan and standing up to leave when my head felt woozy and my vision tunneled. I heard the sounds of muffled voices as my body regained consciousness. “So what’s wrong with her?” I heard Callan ask.“She’s severely dehydrated and her blood sugar is very low, as if she hasn’t eaten in a while.”Well duh, I hadn’t ate or drank anything. I had been working my ass off with no breaks and no one had told me if I was allowed to get food or not. I had asked Stacy on multiple occasionsabout dinner and she had told me to figure it out myself and that she “wasn’t my maid.” The irony wasn’t lost on me at her choice of words. Callan cursed. When I opened my eyes I saw him pacing the room with his hand cupping his chin. “Get Stacy for me,” he ordered. I internally groaned. You idiot, don’t get the woman who was hell bent on making my life a living hell. A few moments later I heard the sound of Stacy’s polished shoes tap on the wo
SERAPHINA POV—I bit my lower lip and looked down at the ground, embarrassed that I nearly starved myself to death.“I asked you a question, Seraphina, I expect an answer,” Callan pressed out his alpha aura, making me wince.“I didn’t know where I was allowed to go,” I straightened my shoulders and shot daggers with my eyes. I knew I sounded pathetic, but it was the only explanation I had “In case you forgot, Alpha, you have spoken to me in 3 days, yet I am expected to be your Luna and now go with you to your chambers?!” I asked incredulously.In my anger fueled haste, I stood up quickly not having a second thought about how the lack of food and water would have on my system. It was as my world began to spin and my vision blurred that I realized my mistake of trying to stand up. I heard Callan curse in the distance as the floor came tumbling closer to my face. Just as I was about to hit the floor, strong arms wrapped around my waist. My long hair swept across the floor as the air e
CALLAN POV I stormed out of my bed chambers and down the hall to my office. I swung open the door and didn’t care if it were closed or not. I was beyond pissed that not only did my staff not make sure that Sera was shown around the packhouse, but also that Sera continued to have an attitude with me. No one was doing what they were supposed to. I began to feel my control slowly bein to drip away as if it were a leaking faucet. If I were honest with myself however, I would admit that I was angry with myself for not checking in sooner. She was in fact a guest in my home. It was my job to keep order and control in my home, my pack and myself. ‘She’s ours to protect you idiot’ my wolf Archer griped at me. ‘She isn’t ours. Remember what Beatrice said? We don’t get a fated mate.’ Beatrice was a seer that had visited the pack when my father was still Alpha. Ever since then her words stayed with me. ‘I see a world of darkness ahead. A world with no mate or companion that is yours.’ My m
Seraphina POV “Uh, who are you?” I asked to the short, curvy blonde, who was most certainly not a packhouse staff-member. I placed a hand on my mouth realizing rude I must have sounded. What if this was Alpha Callan’s lover? I had no right asking who she was. She must have read the look on my face and burst out into laughter. “Oh jeeze, you must be Sera, I’m Maeve,” She gave me an expectant look as if her name were to mean something to me. “Nice to meet you Maeve. Alpha Callan isn’t here, but I can let you him know–”“No silly, I am here for you,” She pointed to the ottoman where a basket of women’s products and clothes sat. “Cal asked me to bring you some items to make you more comfortable. He told me what happened,” She said empathetically. Her Chesnut colored eyes seemed to sparkle from the flames of the fire that was burning in the hearth. After the first 15 minutes of small talk with Maeve, I knew she was someone I would want in my corner. Although short, her aura was fierce
Suddenly my heart began to race not just from the crowd cheering, but from the pull I felt towards her. I didn’t realize I had taken a step toward her until I was only a few feet away. She was in a simple yellow sungress with her blond hair in a loose fitting knot. She was the epitome of perfection. The beauty before me had the greenest eyes I had ever seen and seemed to captivate me in a way that was indescribable. She visibly gulped as stood in front of her before she slightly bowed. “Congratulations, Alpha. It’s an honor to meet you.” she stammered. ‘Mate,’ my wolf Narif yelled in my head. I gave her a warm smile. I loved how her pale cheeks reddened as she spoke. “Thank you, it’s nice to meet you. I didn’t catch your name,” I said, my voice low as I tried to hide the breathlessness I felt at being so close to her.“Sophie,” she replied softly, her eyes sparkling with an unspoken understanding. “But everyone calls me Soph.”“Soph,” I repeated, savoring the sound as it rolled o
LIAM POV I slammed into the red head, who was on all fours before me. I had forgotten her name already. I had met her earlier in the day at my best friend Trevor’s house while we were all lounging around the pool. She was cute and had no problem with coming home with me in the middle of the day, before the alpha ceremony. Today my chosen father would pass the pack to me, making me the new Alpha. I had too many feelings about it, leading to what I did best. Pushing my feelings aside and got lost into something else or someone else. I heard a light knock before I heard my mother’s curse.Damnit mom! “Mom, get out!” I yelled while continuing to pump into the red head. She attempted to stop but I let out a threatening growl, letting her know that I was no where finished with her. I heard my mom bump her head on the door frame, making me roll my eyes. She reminded me of Jess from New Girl, with how clumsy she was. ‘Mom just walked in on me having a girl over.’ I sent a mind link to my
Seraphina POV Callan and I had decided to make the house near the waterfall our getaway home when we needed it. We arrived at our home for the next couple of days. It was a modernized one floor flat that looked over a gorgeous waterfall. “Tell me again why we can’t use this place as the pack house?” I asked the umteenth time to Callan as I looked at the waterfall through the floor to ceiling length windows. Everytime I came to this place it made me feel like I was in another world with its modern and exotic architecture. I looked at the floor to ceiling length windows and watched as the water cascaded down the smooth rocks. Everytime we came here I always asked Callan the same question. He put our bags down and walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Because we need to be closer to everyone, you know this.” He nipped at my mark, making me giggle. My mind went back to the first time I had come to this place. When a scream had left my lips as I made contact with
Seraphina POV Maeve rounded the corner and whacked Callan on the back of the head. “Hush, let the girl bring what she wants,” she scolded. It was so nice seeing her back to her almost normal self again. My brows knitted together when I noticed the visible sweat on her brow. “You okay Maeve?” She waved a hand in front of her face. “Yeah, jeeze, who turned up the heat in here,” I looked at the thermostat that hung on the wall and read sistythree degrees. I would hardly call that hot. I sniffed the air and noticed that her scent seemed stronger today as well. Callan’s nostrils flared before I saw drake running down the staircase and swooping his bride up. She cackled as he booked it up the stairs. “Sorry guys! Baby making time!” Drake called from the top of the stairs. I looked at Callan with a smile. “Guess we know what they will be doing while we are gone.” Callan chuckled before wrapping an arm around my shoulders. “Let’s get out of here before we have to put ear plugs in.”Mae
I watched the boys with a deadpan expression as they tried to figure out how to take off a dirty diaper and put a new one on. “Don’t worry mum, we got it.” Liam had told me. “Just sit back and relax.”How they expected me to do so when they looked like they were attempting some sort of science experiment on my daughter was beyond me. I went to push up from the rocking chair where I was seated when Callan spoke. “We got this babe, don’t stress.” I took in a breath. ‘They can do this, they can do this.’ I said to myself. ‘You sure about that?’ Alya my wolf chided back. It wasn’t until I heard the sound of a splat and a gasp from Liam did I finally decide I was done watching this shit show. Literally. There was shit filled diaper on top of Callan’s foot. Liam looked at Callan in horror and then disgust. A smile spread on our girl’s face at my boy incompetence to change a diaper. I stood up and marched over to a stunned looking Callan and Liam. Liam moved out of the way. “You k
You keep looking at my dick like that, we won’t be able to take a relaxing bath together,” he teased. I stuck out my tongue at him like a child, earning me a laugh from Callan. He climbed in behind me, the water sloshing over the edge at the movement. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed a kiss on my shoulder. I sank into his embrace, loving the rare intimate moment we were now sharing. It felt like so much had happened in such a short amount of time, that we had missed out on opportunities such as this. We sat in silence, simply enjoying the moment with one another. However I couldn’t help but think about Liam’s situation and about his family. For the first time since I had lost the baby, my heart and head were on the same page. I snuggled up to Callan and rested my head on his shoulder. Tingles ignited where we touched, further soothing my racing thoughts. “What’s on your mind, Princess?” Callan asked as he pressed a kiss on the top of my head. “What will happen to Liam?”
Seraphina POV 6 Years Later….“Ugh harder!” I heard a female voice cry out. Whoever she was, she was getting the pounding of her life by the sounds coming from down the hall. A blush crept over my cheeks and chest as I thought about what must be happening in the room. As I continued to walk down the hallway to find Liam for the Alpha Ceremony. I quickened my pace in an attempt to give the couple more privacy. However, as I got closer to Liam’s room, I noticed the woman’s voice get louder.As I approached my door, a thumping sound accompanied by the soft moans of a female was emanating from his bedroom! Dejavu slammed into me as I remembered the day that I caught Allister in my room with Lyla. My hand shook as I grabbed the vintage gold knob. I knocked on the door while opening the door and instantly regretted it. Slowly I opened the door and gasped at the sight before me. It took a few moments for me to register what was going on. Before me was Liam pounding into a beautiful red h
Seraphina POV5 Months later….I walked next to Maeve in the department store as we looked over the racks of baby clothes. After finally receiving permission from Doctor Desmond that some walking could help induce labor. Our babygirl was finally cooked. It was time for us to meet her. Only now that it was time, she was taking her sweet time and enjoying the comfort and protection that my body provided. I couldn’t blame her after everything that we had gone through together. Our girl was a trooper through it all. I felt a tinge of pain in my lower back and some pressure in my lower abdomen. The pain stopping me in my tracks for a moment. Maeve looked at me with concern. “You alright babe?”I held on top of the rack and continued to take deep breaths. “Ugh, yeah. Just Braxton Hicks,” I grumbled. After a moment we continued to look through the racks of clothes. Maeve and Drake were having a baby boy, and I couldn’t help but be envious of how much Maeve was glowing. I looked like a g
Mia POVI circled the chair that bound the man who haunted all of my dreams and almost every waking moment. The only time I didn’t think about what this man had put me through, was when I was with my son, my grandson, and daught-in-law. They seemed to drown out the voices and images in my head that wanted me to relive the horrible days during my captivity. “Please Mia, I love you.” Kevin pleaded with me. Tears, snot, and blood all congeled together on his handsome face. His blood red eyes were now constantly out as his wolf tried to heal the wounds that I kept inflicting. We were on day three of me torturing him and using toys on him that he had used on me. I refused to be the victim any longer. My daughter attempted to punish him, but didn’t have the stomach for it. I just prayed that she too would find some peace knowing that this pieace of shit would no longer be around to hurt us. She had come back down today for some reason. Maybe for closure? I couldn’t be certain. “You don’t
