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
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
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
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
“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 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
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 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
