*** Rebecca ***I sat on the edge with tears dripping down my cheeks. I screamed and cried till I no longer could. I cursed him into the harsh wind that was blowing down my tear stained cheeks. " I hate you! I hate you, wish I had never met you!" I screamed. My voice hoarse and my hair messed up by the wind. " That as****e, how could he!" I whimpered. "How could he.." I tried getting up, but my knees wouldn't hold me. So I sat there all cried out and unable to move for hours..5 hours earlierI finished work earlier today and decided to pop in to grab some Chinese takeaway on a way home. I wanted to surprise Matt on our anniversary before we head out for a night of fun. I was on cloud nine, cause exactly same time next year I would be Mrs Holloway! I couldn't wait to marry this handsome man that's been in my life for three amazing years. We met on my last day of high-school at the party we organised to celebrate the new chapter of our lives. He was fe
***Rebecca*** I woke up around 8 o'clock this morning and had plenty of time to get ready and have breakfast before my interview. So I picked my phone up thinking I could still read something or check my social media. There were another 9 missed calls and voicemails from Matt. I rolled my eyes and deleted the messages without ever listening to them. "Well at least Louise stopped calling me" I laughed. I've got out of bed and went straight for the shower. Finally feeling refreshed and rested after days of agony.I have picked a black pencil skirt and a white satin shirt to put on for the interview, and dang did I look good. The outfit hugged my curves in all the right places, but still looked very professional. I curled my dark chocolate hair into big loose curls and put on some natural make-up, my emerald eyes were the biggest make-up I ever needed. I slipped black stilettos on and glanced in the mirror very happy with how I looked, grabbed my car keys and walked
***Luke*** "I have found her!" I shouted walking through the doors. People lifted their eyes at me and my mum asked: "Found who, honey?" "My mate, our Luna" I replied excitedly. " Oh, that's amazing news, but where is she then? " "Well that's where we have a little problem. She's a human and she doesn't seem to know who am I to her or she to me." I sat down and let my head hang, trying to figure out what should I do next and how do I tell her. "Honey, I bet she feels it, she just can't put her finger on it. You'll have to spend more time with her and tell her eventually. Just be patient. What's her name?" asked my mother. "Rebecca" I smiled. I loved her name on my lips. "Sounds like she got you wrapped around her little finger already" chuckled Ryan. " You know how long I was looking for her, and how I longed for my mate. I just want her next to me right now" I said growling.Everyone looked at me with smiling faces. I know their are happy for their Alpha, but what will it ta
***Rebecca*** "I don't understand what are you saying, Luke" I said "We just met and what does mate or Luna mean? What are you saying exactly?" I was starting to freak out. "Look, I didn't mean to scare you or make you worry for that matter. I do need to tell you a lot and explain everything. Please, let's go back to our house and I can tell you everything. If I won't be able to answer all your questions, you can speak to my mum, just please don't freak out" Luke pleaded. I looked at him and I just couldn't say no to those puppy eyes he was giving. I could see he was scared that I would say no and just leave.I took a deep breath inhaling Luke's scent, he smelt like a grass after the heavy rain and a summer breeze by the lake. His presence was calming and I caved in."Alright" I said "But you will tell me everything and answer all the questions I have, promise me" "Of course. I could never lie to you" said Luke. ***Luke***I f
***Luke***I woke up quite early this morning, went into shower, got dressed and ready to go in minutes. Felt quite eager to start my day and get to work. Went downstairs to have some breakfast, my mum was sitting at the dinning table already with some of my pack members. "Good morning, everyone" "Good morning, Alpha" a bunch of voices replied. "We have a busy day today" said my beta Ryan. "Not busier than usual" I replied. "Well not exactly" he said. "We have our basic chores to do and interview the new admin, bunch of paperwork to sort in the office. We had a girl call yesterday noon and we're meeting her this morning." "We have Mila for that, she can do the interviews, you know that" I told my beta. "Well I thought you might want to do it yourself, seeing as that person will be helping to run the business for us. But sure I'll let Mila know that she could get the interview done this morning by herself." said Ryan. "I will meet the perso
*** Rebecca *** I sat on the bed in my hotel room, millions of thoughts inside my head. I was again inside the storm, my head and my life was upside down, my heart in turmoil. I thought I will restart my life down here, heal my shattered heart and then find someone and have a family that I have always dreamt of. What a joke, my destiny was laughing at me and turning tables around once again. What now? I was too afraid to let anyone in, and too scared to love someone just yet. How can life throw someone at me right now, when I'm so broken and have no idea where is I am going. And what about Luke, how does he feel? He must be going crazy and out of his mind not knowing what's gonna happen. I don't know how and why, but I care how he feels. And deep inside I crave those sparks that he gave me when our skin touched. The way he looked at me, like I'm the only one in the room, the only one for him. The way he made me feel wanted and desired. But how can I let him in? How can
***Rebecca ***I pulled up at the office and took a deep breath, stepped out of the car. I felt nervous and not sure what to expect. But I gathered my courage and walked towards the office doors. The same blonde lady has greeted me and said Mila would come in a second. I waited patiently, my mind hazy and thinking I should have just left, would have been easier. I started pacing and the blonde stared at my curiosily.She must think I'm crazy or something.."Morning, Rebecca" I hear Mila's voice behind and sigh from relief. I liked Mila, she was very nice and friendly, made me feel comfortable around her."Good morning" I reply."Well, let's get you started, shall we?" She raised her brow and guided me towards my personal office. It was quite spacious and very well decorated. Boho and vintage style, which to be honest was my favourite, good taste I thought to myself. Mila have spent first half of the day walking around and introducing me to everyone, explaining who is responsible for w
*** Luke *** The minute I felt Rebecca's distress and anger and jumped off the chair and went straight through the doors. Ryan and the boys were out with me in town, when I felt something was wrong. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I felt it mate bond with Rebecca already, even though I haven't marked her yet, so I knew something was not right. I knew where they were, because Mila have told me where the girls from the office are going and they were taking Rebecca with them. I gave Rebecca her space like she asked me, but I still wanted to know she was safe. But now I had to get to her, cause I know something is wrong. I hear Ryan shout after me, But I get into my car and speed up towards the Lakeside bar where the girls were. I walk through the doors and I see a man holding Rebecca's wrist, while she tries to wiggle out of his grip, I hear her squeak out of pain and that's all it takes. I'm behind her in a flash and all I see is red. I am trying to keep my wolf in control as h
*** Rebecca *** "Marry me." Whispered Luke."What..?" I mumbled in a daze. I lifted my eyes away from our beautiful boy and looked at Luke, trying to understand if that's what I've heard."Marry me." he said again. I definitely heard it right, but it caught me off guard, since I only started to recover from having a baby. He stroked my cheek and kissed my forehead."Marry me, Rebecca. You are my Luna already and we are bonded, not just by the goddess, but by love, destiny and our child. I loved you from the second I saw you and all I wanted was to make you mine. Body and soul. You made me happier than I could have ever comprehended. We share your ancestors power and duties, you are already my wife in more ways than it's possible, now I want to make it official in the human world. So please, marry me." "Yes. A million times yes." I whispered, trying not to wake our little pup. We both knew the answer, before he even asked me or before he laid out all the reasons for our marriage. The
***Rebecca ***Few days later it was finally time for us to head home. I love my time here, creating many valuable friends and making bonds with some, getting a chance to know Silas better, but it was time for us to go back, time to get ready for my baby's arrival. Thanking the goddess for a smooth flight I stepped out of the plane to inhale that warm summer breeze that was so common in this region. Tyrell got our cars ready and Luke helped him with the luggage, while I dragged my swollen ankles into the back seat. "I can't wait for my feet to go back to their normal size..." I mumbled closing the doors."Any day now, baby. I know it was hard on you, but you getting pregnant made me the happiest man." Luke kissed my hand from the front seat. "I'm just tired Luke, don't pay much attention to what I'm saying. And you know I love you both more than anything." Tyrell came back into the car and we drove home. Luke had some business to take the car to the office and a meeting with some
***Luke*** Rebecca was pacing up and down the hallway, clearly quite nervous and not ready to face the huge crowd that was behind the doors. I could feel her frustration and anxiety, my efforts to calm her down and comfort were quite fruitless. "Maybe we shouldn't do this...?" she whispered, still pacing around."Baby, I'm afraid it may be to late for this decision now..." I said, gesturing around us. We were both dressed and ready to go through with this ceremony, my pregnant mate looked more radiant as ever and those plump breasts were driving me crazy for days. The dress she was wearing made them look even more inviting and full. And the ceremony was the least of my worries. I wanted my mate back, our bond back and once the baby's here I plan to keep her in bed for days. "I know, I know... I just... How will we handle it all? You know our pack, the responsibilities that come with this" she gestured around her, trying to catch her breath "and the kids. How will we cope? Is it so
***Rebecca *** The flight as usual was tragically stressful for me, but talking to Luke kept my mind occupied and focused away from what was happening around me. We spoke about our plans for the pack, who we want to train as our soldiers, who have potential to help out in hospital and who could help run our growing farm. It was nice to finally have some time to be able to discuss all the small bits that were concerning me with Luke. Or all the things we never had enough time to chat and it finally led me to the theme of our mate bond. He sat silently weighing every word I said, knitting his brows several times while I explained everything. When I was done, he took a deep breath and turned to me."I thought it was just me, though I was going crazy or something. Then I tried to calm myself and convince myself that it was because I am still recovering. Never have died before, so the goddess knows how long it takes to recover from. But now that you told it all to me, everything makes sen
*** Rebecca ***Our pack was growing stronger and bigger everyday, so was my belly and I only had weeks left till we will finally get to meet our little pup. I was in full nesting mode by now and had our room redecorated, a crib fitted in next to our bed and Luke's mum took me shopping for baby clothes and all the essentials. She patiently explained to me what I will definitely need and what, maybe not so much. Because as it turns out I didn't know much about baby things, so I was grateful for her help. Luke was back at his full strength and back at work, but now he only allowed me a few hours of work a day. Which wasn't a very bad thing, because it allowed me to focus on the pack and getting to know everyone personally. I was spending at least a couple of hours with our pack everyday, helping them with daily tasks, cooking, taking care of supply shopping or just looking after our ranch. I created a great relationship with most of them, some were still wary of me and Luke, maybe becau
***Luke *** Waking up with Rebecca safely in my arms was a bliss. I never appreciated our small moments together as I do now. The fear of losing her and our child had made me see things in a different light. She made me realize how strong she actually is, how she handled herself and our pack while I was healing, how she never gave up and fought for what she believed in. I thank the goddess for binding us together, faith for letting us meet when we did and the stars for making me a father. I will cherish this life alongside her and our child forever.She stirred quietly in my arms and her eyelashes slowly flustered open. I could die watching into those perfect green eyes of hers. "Good morning." she whispered and kissed me softly. "How are you feeling?" "Perfect. Sleeping next to you was all I needed to recover." "You still need to rest, remember? Doctors orders, so I don't want to hear any of 'oh I feel great and I'm good to go back to work' understand? I want you to fully recover
***Rebecca*** "Look, I understand your concerns. Trust me I have more than you can carry, but this is what we agreed on, all of us and we have to make it work. Those people were neglected, tortured and hurt for far too long. They need a place where they could feel safe and wanted. A place where their children would be protected and able to grow up without fear. And this pack is that place. I never wanted this responsibility on my shoulders, but it landed and I couldn't brush them aside, not after what I've witnessed back there. So I really need all of you on my side to make this happen." "OK. We hear you, we're just concerned that you are putting yourself in danger bringing back the pack that attacked us and wanted to take you away. And who's to say they forgot all those years of brainwashing from Cade and will accept all these changes?" asked Nimue with knitted brows. "Nimue, I understand where you coming from, I do. I'm not saying we need to trust every single one of them immedia
***Rebecca*** Rage was pulsing through my veins and I felt like ripping things apart, screaming and cursing... Today was the day I was meant to meet with the rest of the Scarlet blood pack and get a feel about everyone. Tyrell, Mila and Ryan were accompanying me with half of our soldiers, because I had no idea how they would meet me or what I was walking into. And I had to be ready for anything really. The pack knew their Alpha was dead and they felt a shift of power already. Getting the location of the pack from the captives was fairly easy, they knew what end their Alpha had met and they had nothing else to lose anymore. Therefore the location came quite easy, I wish that was the same for the journey we had ahead of us. I was a pregnant hormonal wolf with thousands of responsibilities weighing on my shoulders, my mate and Alpha was still in hospital and the rest of the pack was onto me like bees on honey. Everyone was super annoyingly protective and I barely had a minute to myself
***Rebecca ***It was yet another agonizing morning for me. Morning sickness and nausea followed me through the day. There was no hiding my pregnancy from the pack anymore. I've been nauseous for weeks and one minute I'm repulsed by food while the other I could down two burgers, fries and a massive piece of apple pie for dessert. Some people started to notice my eating habits, so I guess I should come clear to everyone. Besides, they could use some happy news during this unstable time, because their Alpha still hasn't woken up. I missed him terribly, it angered me that he is missing out on our pregnancy and everything around. I wish there was a way to help him, to awaken him, because even though I was putting up a strong face in front of our pack it was killing me inside. Killing me not to have my mate by my side. Especially when so much was happening, so many things needed to be taken care of and being constantly nauseous did nothing to help me sort those things. I found out that af
