Biting down on my lip to try and hind the pain and lift the fork going in as much force as I could towards him. He turns to me again but this time he lowers his body ready for attack. As he looks me right in the eye, I could see that I have to react fast and hope that I strike him in a deadly strike or I will be the one who will be dying. As he jumps forward, I lift the fork and hit him right in the chest. With a howl, he falls down to the ground as I follow him. The pain in my leg was too much to bear, I try to sit up to see what the damage was but all I could see is blood streaming onto the cement floor. I turn my head to see if the wolf is dead but could not believe my eyes in its place was a man, a very naked man with a fork in his chest. All my mind was telling me is that I just killed a man. I was sure it was a wolf I stabbed or was I dreaming that it was a wolf. It was a wolf I saw it with my own eyes, the fur, the eyes I even heard the growl, it was not a dream but where is th
Serafino’s POV. Waking up to glass crashing on the floor, I jump up. What the hell is happening. Reaching the kitchen where the sound comes from, I see Rebecca standing in front of the table with eyes and brows pulled together. “Hi, you are awake. I thought of making breakfast for us but I am not that good in the kitchen. Sorry I broke one of your bowls while whipping up the eggs” she says with a shy smile on her lips. There were eggs all over the counter, floor, and well Rebecca. I never thought I would see her feeling shy. That was not Rebecca, she was always bold and never feared anything, well maybe a spider but that was it. “it’s fine to let me help, you can watch,” I say as I take another bowl and begin to crack eggs into it after cleaning the mess she made. “Stef, I have been thinking, maybe we must go to New Orleans. Their witches are very powerful and have a more powerful link to their ancestors than I have. We could hear if maybe they know who this Dark Lady is and who
“Please Hailey, my love, please do not leave us. Give me a chance, I can change, I will try to change.” I tell her as I run back to the pack house.Getting to the pack house I rush to my bedroom, where Mary and Tom the pack doctor were standing waiting for me. I place Hailey softly on the bed. The bind around her leg is already red with her blood, with a shocked expression Tom starts to remove the bind. All I could do is stare, I felt lost, frozen in place. Taking my hand Mary moves me away from the bed so to give Tom more space to work.“She will be alright,” she says with her arm going around my waist as she was too small to get it around my shoulders.Feeling numb I just go down sitting on the chair with my head in my hands slumping forward. What have I done, I did not listen to Cayden and for that left her vulnerable. Now because of my action, Cayden might lose his mate, I did not protect her.Standing Tom comes and places a hand on my shoulder. Looking up I could see sadness, fea
Hailey’s POV I am standing next to the most beautiful waterfall. The water is so clear that you could see the fish and pebbles under the water. “I was waiting for you my most beautiful strong daughter” I hear a soft voice talking to me. Looking up I see her. She was magnificent. Her hair was white as snow, waving in the breeze. Her white dress shimmered with silver reaching past her feet as it drifted on the water, but yet it is not getting wet. On top of her head, she had the signs of a full moon and two halves of a moon on either side. Her face was smooth and her eyes full of caring, she looked like a mother looking at her newborn baby for the first time. “Um who are you and why do you call me daughter?” I ask feeling that somehow, I should know her but yet I don’t. “I am the Moon Goddess, Selene, and you my daughter my most precious gift.” She says with that smooth voice that could rock a baby to sleep. “Moon Goddess?” Am I dreaming for I know she is an illusion from my books
Still trying to figure out why I feel different, the door opens. It sounded like thunder in my ears. I tried to cover my ears. I could not, it was as if my hand was only on top of my head. Almost like a dog covering its ears from sound. Another load sounded this time like something fell on the floor. Lifting my head, I could see Bruce with shocked eyes and a mouth that was not attached to his face would be on the floor. In front of him was a tray, food scattered around the floor. “O, my God!” was all he said, seeing Mary standing at the side of him, I could see her shocked face as well. What are they so shocked about? I am just lying on the floor, with Brian next to me still kneeling. He runs his hand over my body. "You are so beautiful”, I hear his husky voice, still feeling his hand on me. There are tingles in each part of my body he touches. Looking back at Bruce and Mary, I could see them still just standing there frozen in place. Mary is the first one to react, coming forward
I wake up feeling sore as if I was in the gym way too long. My muscles ached and then this feeling of being caged by something. My hand feels what has me caged in without opening my eyes. It is an arm, a very soft but muscled arm. Tracing my fingers over the arm, I feel a lust build up in the pit of my stomach that makes me moan. I slowly opened my eyes, turning to the person lying next to me on the bed. It was Brain or Cayden, I do not know which, but by god, he was handsome as he was lying there bare chest. As if my body took over all senses of rationality, I turned to look at him. My hand goes to his chest, tracing my fingers softly over his six-pack, every line, every curve. I felt him stir and keep my hand still. He relaxed again, now I cannot take it anymore. I needed to taste him. After I carefully removed his arm, making sure not to wake him, I lifted my body onto my knees next to his body. My head dips towards his chest as I start to trace his skin with my tongue. He tasted s
Cayden’s POV Waking up for the best sleep I have ever had. I could feel her body next to me, while I held her tightly in my arms. My mate, my beautiful mate. Turning my head, I stared at her, she looked so peaceful. The memories of last night come back to me and I feel myself getting hard again. I thought I had died and gone to heaven the first time I entered her, she was so tight and soft. I tried to hold back but the first time she let out that moan my primal instincts kicked in and could not keep back any longer. I felt Brain, he was as much turned on by everything as I was. I hope that this changes his mind about her and that he will give our mate a chance. She moans a little and shifts closer, throwing one hand over my chest. I stroke her hand softly, feeling the sparks as our skin touches. I could not believe that she was a white wolf. What were the changes? Just like my mother, but then fear settled in me as I knew what that meant. Every rouge would try to take her. I could no
Brian’s POVHearing that she is doubting if she is dreaming or alive, Cayden gives control back to me, knowing I would be able to explain to her what happened the best I could. Pulling my chair near, I placed a finger under her chin, making her lift her head. I looked deep into her eyes, I needed to tell her that her whole world as she knew it had changed.“Hailey, I am going to tell you what happened but I want you to listen to me. No matter what you are Cayden’s mate, he loves you and will always protect you.” I keep my voice calm and collected.She stares at me with a blank expression. I began telling her about the myth, the truth thing that Tom talked about. She turns into the white wolf she saw in the mirror. Through all this, she stares at me saying nothing. When I was done, I held my breath. What was she thinking?“You mean…um, I am a werewolf now, like in my books. That I am not dreaming but there are such things as werewolves?” her voice filled with insecurity. “Yes,” I to
Hailey’s POV“Hi, that’s mine. Mum, Isabella has taken my paintbrush again”. Conri was running towards me. At 2 years old, he looks more like a 5-year-old. Even with paint on his face, you could see the resembling figures of Serafino. Yes, that is right.You see the twins were a boy and a girl. Serafino was the father of our boy (Conri) and Brian was the father of our girl (Isabella). They were born 2 minutes after each other. They were the most beautiful babies, happy and content. We moved into the pack house after the birth of the twins.“But Mum, anty Rebecca said that he must clean up as she is taking us for ice cream”. Isabella was standing with the paintbrush in her hand and a bright smile on her face.“Isabella, give back your brother’s paintbrush and Conri go get cleaned you look a painting yourself.”I was in the kitchen making some sandwiches for the pack warriors that were busy training with Brian and Serafino.“Isabella, have you finished your riding, and have you brushed d
Brian and Serafino look at each other. Pups? After Dr. Eagle left. There was a moment when it felt as if they both were in a dream. Serafino’s POV I looked at Brian with a questioning look. “Pups, you heard that also, right? Hailey is pregnant?” I could not believe my ears. I must have dreamed it. “Nope, I heard it as well. Who do you think is the father?” Brian looked at me and I know he hoped it was him. Well, I have news for him. I hoped it was me. I wonder if she knew she was pregnant and that that was what she wanted to tell us. Again, looking at her, she looked pale and just lying there so vulnerable and I just wanted to take her in my arms and make all the hurt go away. But I knew that all I could do now was to stay by her side and make sure that she has the best medical care and if she needs extra attention to get over the trauma, then that as well. My mind started to wonder about the pups. What were they, two boys, two girls, or one of each? In my heart, I wished for two
Hailey’s POVIt felt wonderful, they would be the best of friends, but I just wished I knew what they were. But Athena did not want to tell me. Urg, she was such a pest sometimes, but I now knew that without her I was nothing.Sitting just wondering what Cindy was up to now and how long I had before she would be back to kill me, I heard something that sounded like a door opening but it was not the door to this room, it sounded more like a front door or one coming from the outside.“They are here, they are here!!” Athena was screaming in my head. Who?“Cayden and Serafino, stupid! They are here, we are saved”. She was jumping up and down like a child that saw her favorite cartoon hero in person.But then nothing. I could not hear anything after that.“Are you sure it was them? If it was where are they?” I asked her.“I do not know, but I am very sure it was them. I could feel Cayden.” She sounded a little down, noticing that they were not storming into the room looking for us. Then I h
“I just do not know how we are going to get near enough to get inside before Cindy spots us” Brian looked at Serafino and hoped he had a plan or, well, even a suggestion could work because he had nothing. All he could think was to get in, get Hailey and rip that bitch into very small pieces.As they get nearer the house, Rebecca stops them.“Something is happening, we need to move now! I can feel the energy coming from the house.” She looks around but there is no place they could hide to get in.“I can do a cloaking spell but I will have to use one of you as an energy source. She looks to Brain and Serafino for who it will be. Just then, Pedro steps up and stands before her.“You can use me, they need to be able to move without being attached to you” Rebecca looks at him and just shakes her head in a yes. She knew he was just a normal wolf but his energy would probably be enough to get Brian and Serafino near enough before they are detected.As she takes his hand, she can feel a very
Hailey’s POV My brain was still coming to terms that I was pregnant with two babies, and I felt a sting in my heart. They did not even know that they would be fathers. Will they accept them as it was from both and well “hello enemies”? But then I remember how they had not shown that side when we were together making love. It was just us, no differences, no jealousy, just three people enjoying the art of love, and it was magical. How would I be able to tell them now? Then I remember the pendant that Mrs. Colby gave me in my back pocket. For some reason, when I left the apartment I grabbed it, not wanting it to be left behind. She told me that when I felt alone, I could just touch the pendant and think of them and I would not feel alone anymore, and that is what I needed now. I needed them close. My only problem was that it was in my back pocket and my hands were tied to the chair. Just as I was about to lose hope, the door opens and a guy with a mug of water comes in. He does not spe
Third person’s POV Brian, Serafino, and Rebecca were just standing there while James smashed the couch. All of them still had the same question in their minds. Whose blood was on the floor as none of them were hurt? Was it just an image like she was, or was it Hailey’s blood? And if so, what the hell is happening? “I should have known something was wrong with the bitch when she came to me the first time looking for work. I had a bad feeling but then just shacked it off as nothing. Even when she so quickly told Hailey or Hope, whatever her real name is, to come and live with her. I should have noticed something. I was so caught up in the fact that she was so beautiful and that I just wanted her to fall for me, that I did not think of anything else. I am a goddamn Alpha and should have used that power to feel danger, but no” Brian growls at his confession, Serafino’s eyes turned red and Rebecca stands ready to keep both of them back, should they want to rip him apart. But James did n
Brian’s POV Walking straight into the bar, we saw James and another guy talking. They also have a New Orleans map pointing to some places. Looking at us, I could see that the other guy was the cabby that asked us if we wanted a ride to the city when we arrived. I knew there was something at the time I saw him in the cab, a feeling, but that stubborn brother of mine had to get his way and so we did not ask him as we should have. Maybe we would have had a quicker solution to finding Hailey. “James,” Serafino said as we approached them. I could feel the tension in the bar, especially from that bar lady. She knew something. Standing there waiting for Serafino to get to the point, I looked around. Coming here, neither I nor Cayden had that feeling that she was near, like the last time. Then what Mrs. Colby said come back to me. “I am here to tell you that she has Hailey, the Black Lady has her and your time is limited. She has her cloaked and the only way that you will be able to find h
Hailey’s POV Opening my eyes, I see that I am not in the forest anymore but in a very run-down living room. The smell that came from the room was awful. The windows were broken and the curtains were thorny. It feels as if my head is going to burst and I do not have any strength in me to even move. Where was this place? I could feel that I was bounded to the chair. Hearing the door open, I looked up. Even that was an effort; my head felt like it was weighing a ton. My vision was blurry but I could see a figure approaching me. As it came near, I recognized the lady. CINDY! What the hell, is she here to save me? But then I heard her laugh and knew that that was not it. “Well…well. You are awake. It took you long enough. I have been waiting for you. I want to tell you everything I will be doing to you, so you know. It is for a good cause. You see I am a nice person, aren’t I?” She said, but I did not have it in me to react and I could see that this just infuriated her. Why would she d
Serafino’s POV After I had a talk with Michael and rested, I went and got some blood from the fridge. It was deer blood and it was nice and chilling. Standing and sipping it, Rebecca enters the kitchen. “Hi, I love what you did to the place, but my favorite is this fridge. It is awesome,” she says as she takes out one of the human blood bags. I had a contact at the local blood bank and they gave me the blood that, for some reason, could not be used. I was not the kind that liked to milk humans just to get my fix. With this, Brian also arrives and just looks at us with a disgusted look in his eyes. “What, you eat raw meat in wolf form, don’t you?” Rebecca says and turns to leave. Those two, she does not like him much. I think it is because he treated Hailey not like a mate should and Rebecca was very emotional about mates or fated lovers. “I have talked to Michael. He had some very interesting news regarding that guy at the bar, James. He called him” Both Rebecca and Brian go sit
