UNKNOWN POVI rushed up the hidden dirt driveway to the meeting spot that I knew all too well. I had been coming here for months giving insider information to the dark-eyed man. I owed it to my family who had lost their lives and jobs due to Alpha Callan. I owed it to myself to wipe his bitch of a Luna off the face of the Earth as well. She couldn’t have him. He was mine. Mine to trick, mine to manipulate, and mine to do whatever else I pleased with him. Seraphina was getting in the way of those plans. Before she had moved to the pack house Alpha Callan had spoken of taking a chosen mate. If it weren’t for finding his fated mate in Seraphina, I and the rest of the eligible girls in the pack would have gotten the opportunity to become Luna. Look how she treated her own pack. Giving it to another Alpha without so much as a blink of an eye. It was pathetic. My thoughts were interrupted when the dark eyed man started walking towards me. A light rain began to fall, coating my lashes. “W
LYLA POVReaper came storming into the living room of our cabin with lethal energy rolling off of him. I looked up from my book and raised an eyebrow. He was drenched from the rain that was now pouring buckets outside. “What is it?” I let out in an annoyed tone. “Oh, don’t you dare use that tone with me Lyla,” Reaper scolded. I rolled my eyes. “Or what?” In inhumane speed, Reaper threw out his hand and wrapped it around my throat before picking my up off the chair by my throat. “Use that fucking tone with me again Lyla and I swear to the fucking Moon Goddess herself that I will bring you to the play room and punish you until you can’t walk straight,” He growled in my face. My mind went back to the first time I was in the play room making shivers run down my spine. I had spent more time in that room when he wasn’t using and abusing Mia. For the longest of times, our time in the play room had been the only means of negotiating I had. When Reaper had found out that Allister was my
Callan POVStephanie spent four hours in surgery before they were able to stop the bleeding and make her stable. By the time she was out of the OR, I could have sworn that the soles of my shoes had dented the floor boards that I had been pacing on. She was currently still in stable condition and doctor desmond was optimistic that she would pull through. After being at the hospital for seventeen hours and being up for almost 40 hours, Seraphina pretty much begged me to go home. The entire time we were at the hospital, Sera’s words echoed in my mind. “I’m pregnant,” and ”I need to know what happened to my mother.” I knew the latter statement was coming. As her words kept replaying in my mind, I knew that with knowing the truth there would be more questions. Questions that I couldn’t answer. But I knew that my mate deserved to know what I did know. It was the least I could do. I hadn’t had a chance for the information of my mate’s pregancy to sink in until now as we arrived at the p
Seraphina POV A wave of relief washed over me now knowing that Callan with absolute certainty did not murder my mother. Part of me wondered what my life would have been like if I had found out this information when it was necessary. It would have saved me from the hurt and betrayal I experienced with Allister. Guilt reared its ugly head as I remembered asking my father to arrange the union between Allister and I. I now had to accept that I couldn’t change the past and needed try my best to move forward and finally allow myself to admit how I truly felt about Callan. I was madly in love with him. In love with his strength, his mind, his passion, and so much more. And now that I knew I was pregnant, it meant I could be rest assured that this baby was coming into a relationship of love. No longer frenemies that we were when I first arrived. Today we would be going through the list of pack members from both sides to create one giant roster. We also needed to document the new recruits
I heard footsteps behind me. I knew they belonged to my son and his beautiful mate. I couldn’t face Seraphina. Not when so much of her looked like my dear friend, her mother. Why I made it when she didn’t was beyond me. Although more than once I had thought that she had gotten the better end of the stick. “Mother?” Callan said soothingly as they walked into the hospital room. I looked down at my lap. Unable to make myself turn around and meet their eyes. I knew they had questions. Questions that I didn’t have the ability to answer I knew they wouldn’t understand why I couldn’t speak. I heard one of the nurses telling my son that they couldn’t understand why I was mute. But no one had gone through the hell that I had been through. It had been so long that I didn’t know if I could use the mindlink anymore. Kevin or as he liked to be called, “the Reaper,” had kept my abilities stunted by the use of wolfsbane. Boy did he love his wolfsbane. I tried to open my mouth but the words just
Seraphina POVNow that Callan knew his mother and sister were home safe and under high security, I had convinced him that we needed to celebrate our honeymoon, even more so now that there was a baby on the way. We hadn’t told his mom yet of the good news. We knew she needed some time to get acclimated back into pack society. It had been five days since she was found at the border and already looked like she was putting on some much needed weight. Stephanie had also vastly improved in the past few days. Making me wonder if part of the reason for her improvement was because she could sense that she was with her family again. “Babe, come onnnnnn,” I whined at the bottom of the main staircase with three bags on the floor around me. Callan came down the stairs in black slacks and a black button down dress shirt that was rolled up on his forearms. As he balanced his phone on his shoulder he put one finger up asking for a minute as he continued to talk on the phone while carrying his sma
Seraphina POV A scream left my lips as I made contact with the gray wolf. Its blood red eyes pierced me like a knife. Immediately Callan stopped touching me and looked out the window. But he was too late. The wolf was gone. I felt my body tremble in fear as I kept replaying what had just happened in my mind. Callan grabbed a blanket off of the couch and wrapped it around me. He cupped my face. “Baby, what’s wrong? What did you see?” I tried to calm my breathing but I couldn’t get a grasp on myself. A memory in the depths of my mind surfaced. Flashback: I held onto the rock for protection for dear life as I made my way to the bushes that would shield me from whatever was lurking on the other side. A yelp and then a thud echoed in the night. I looked through the small space in the bushes to see a gray wolf with blood red eyes transition into his burley human form. I couldn’t see his face as he moved out of sigh into the dark. Then I noticed Callan standing over my mother with his
Seraphina POVAs soon as Callan’s hands left my ass cheeks, I felt cold and wanting. It reminded myself of when I went into heat, where only his touch to bring me what I needed. What I craved. He was the answer to all of my fantasies and more. I heard the sound of a drawer opening behind me before it closed. A sharp sting from a slap on one of my ass cheeks stung before Callan soothed it with rubbing his hand over the slap mark. Slowly and methodically Callan brought his other hand in between my legs and began rubbing my clit. I moaned at the contact. Loving the mix of tingles and general pleasure of him touching me. I felt myself clench when Callan put a finger tip at my puckered hole. “Relax, baby. I promise you will enjoy it.” I took a breath and felt myself relax allowing him to press his finger in. “That’s it, baby, let me play with that sweet ass of yours.” It felt strange. Tight and a sting of pain first before it began to feel good. I found myself moving my hips, loving t
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
