POV SeraphinaI was released the next morning from the hospital,; However instead of going back to the pack house I was informed that we were going to be heading to Constantine’s pack house. Before we left I went to stop and see Maeve. She was awake and watching some sort of Rom Com on the small TV that hung from the wall. When she looked over at me a wide smile spread on her battered face. I walked over to the bed and gave her non-IV hand a squeeze.“Hey girl,” Maeve said, her voice hoarse. I gave her a small smile in return. “Hey yourself. How are you feeling?”Maeve looked at the wall before meeting my eyes again, hers now filled with tears. “Oh, Maeve!” I cried before wrapping my arms around her shoulders, careful to stay away from her stomach. I felt Maeve break as I held her. All of her emotions and despair rolling off of her in waves. Through hiccupped breaths and sobs she got out words that chilled me to the bone. “My baby…it’s gone.”Goosebumps began to rise on my skin.
Seraphina PovConstantine had put us up in one of the Bungalos that had a stunning view of the ocean. In just a few steps we would be able to walk along the white sanded beach. I leaned on the doorway and watched the waves crash against the shore. Strong arms wrapped around me. “Beautiful, isn’t it?” Callan’s warm voice said in my ear. I placed my arms over his. Loving the tingles that had heightened since I had marked him. “Mmmm, yes it is.” Callan pressed a kiss to my neck before letting out a little groan. “I want to have my way with you so bad.” I turned to face him and noticed a pained expression on his face. “Why can’t you?” I asked while tracing a finger down his chest.He looked up at the ceiling and then back to me. “Because we need to go meet with Constantine about tomorrow.” Any lust haze was gone in an instant at the mention of tomorrow. I would be facing Allister to fight for the Alpha position for the Shadow Pack. I gave him a nod of understanding. “Let’s go, we
Callan POVI woke up the next morning before Sera was awake to meet with Constantine. He was in his private outside gym working on pullups when I found him. He gave me a broad smile and jumped down from where he was doing his exercise. “Wassup, brother?” I sat down on the weight bench. “Are you ready to join forces again and kick some weasel ass?” Constantine responded with a broad smile. “Of course I am! I already had my Beta speak to some of our warriors. Training starts today.” I was beyond grateful for my friend to be willing to help me when I needed it. I stood up from the bench and stuck out my hand. “Thanks man. I’ll have Drake send some our men here so they can talk tactics.” We embraced in a bro hug. We we broke apart, Constantine looked at me with concern/ “How is Drake holding up?” Drake had told Constantine in confidence what had happened. I shook my head and looked down at the ground. “Not great. It’s taken a lot for me to keep him from going to rip Allister’s he
Allister POV***the following chapter includes sexual themes that included multiple partners. If you do not wish to read this chapter you may move to the next. Reader discretion is advised. I sat at the end of the conference table fuming at the intel that Andrew just told me. “What do you mean they are out of the hospital?!” I roared. Pissed off that yet again Seraphina and her mut of a husband had survived my wolfsbane attack. Andrew didn’t meet my eyes. “What aren’t you telling me?” I gritted out. Andrew finally met my eyes. “There have been whispers, sir.”I gave an incredulous look. “What kind of whispers?”He licked his lower lip before biting it. “That your,” he cleared his throat, “your leadership choices have been… well… questionable.”I jolted up from my seat. “WHAT?!” I roared. I planted my hands onto the table. “I want names!” I roared. Andrew cowered back. “I didn’t see who it was, sir,” Andrew stutters. I rounded the corner of the table and wrapped my hand around A
POV SeraphinaI spent the next several days training with Callan and Constantine. Even Adalia had come to help train. Offering up some of tricks on how to utilize her size against a larger opponent. The days went by fast and my body was sore. But I had no time to wallow, I needed to get myself centered and composed. We woke up early the next day and made our way back to our pack with some reinforcements. It was no secret that I was nervous about what today would bring. However; I was more worried about what Callan or Drake would do when they saw Allister, after the pain and suffering he had caused. I walked up to the territory line where the Shadow Pack met the Night Walker Pack’s territory with majority of the Nordic Pack and Night Walker Pack behind me. Waiting was Allister accompanied by three-quarters of the pack. He work gym shorts and a tank top that had oversized holes in the sleeves. His blonde hair was touseled and his eyes were as dark as night. Next to him stood Lyla in l
Serphina POVI moved out of the way just in time before Allister hit me. Snarling Allister skid on the ground and turned around with his claws extended and rolled his neck. I got back into my defensive stance ready for his next move. With his werewolf speed, Allister ran towards me and threw a punch. I ducked and hit him with a two, one combo on his abdomen. He grunted at the impact before he swept my legs from under me and pinned me to the ground. I turned before he could fully seat his weight on me. This earned cheers from the crowd. But, I couldn’t listen to noise. I needed to focus. I jumped back up on my feet and put my fists out in front of me. “You’re weak Seraphina. Nothing but a weak—” I cut Allister off when I twirled and kicked Allister in the face. Blood splattered from his mouth. When he faced me again blood continued to dribble from the side of his mouth. A sadistic smile crossed his face with his elongated canines protruding. “You got lucky on that one,” he snarled
Lyla POVI ran until my legs gave out, not wanting anyone to try to capture me. I fought my mate bond that called for me to go to my mate. But I refused. I wouldn’t give that piece of incompetent trash another thought. I was Lyla fucking Perry and I refused to be on the losing side of the battle. I shifted mid air as I jumped over a log into my blonde wolf. I watched through my wolf’s eyes as trees and shrubs wooshed by. I ran to the only place that I knew would be safe. Quickly I shifted into my human form and opened a bin that was disguised as a stump. Moving as fast as I could I put on the change of clothes that I kept in the secret department before approaching a small shed. I approached the door to the entrance of the underground bunker that was disguised as a shed and knocked on the door. I looked up at the camera that was hidden near the roof of the shed. “Password?” A gruff voice said through the intercom.“Rise of Shadow,” I responded with an eye roll. Everyone that was s
Callan POV“And we have a victor!” Constantine yelled to the crowd as I wrapped my arms around my mate. Blood and dirt covered her body and I knew that she would be hurting for a while until she healed. Even though she had the ability to heal faster than a human, she still had a lot of injuries that would take time to heal. I helped Sera stand so she could look at the pack. She gasped and jolted at the power of being alpha transfers from Allister to her. When it was done you could see the difference in her demeanor as she stood in front of the Shadow Pack members. “Per our sacred ways, Seraphina has proven that she is the rightful Alpha to the Shadow Pack. If there is anyone who does not agree, speak now or forever hold your peace.” Constantine contined. Several men came forward with angry glares. They looked like the scum that Allister had recruited. I mindlinked my men to restrain Allister and to wait for orders. Allister didn’t fight them. Instead let his head hang low in def
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
