*** Rebecca ***I was laying on my bed at my motel room thinking about last night and this morning, thinking about Luke. I couldn't deny it, I felt something for him and every time we touched there were undeniable sparks that ran across my skin. I had to admit that I don't fully understand this mate bond, but I was feeling it, I couldn't deny it any longer. And Luke was good to me and patient, he treated me like a Queen and always told the truth about, well everything really. Maybe I could at least try to let him in? And maybe he will be able to mend my shattered heart and protect it. I can't believe that's how I feel now, not even a couple of weeks ago I swore no man would come near me anytime soon, I cursed them all, and all I wanted was to be alone and start anew. But Luke barreled unexpectedly into my life and is changing how I feel. This morning he was so sweet and made sure I felt ok at his home when we went downstairs and were met by at least a dozen werewolf eyes in the di
*** Matt ***"Seriously?? Did you have to hit her so hard??" I asked the blonde secretary called June. I was pissed as hell, there wasn't really a need to hit Rebecca so she would pass out and start bleeding. Now I will have to deal with that and patch her head up. I pinched the top of my nose feeling annoyed and closed my eyes, trying to clear my head and figure my next steps out. "There, take the money and leave. You can have your precious Alpha all to yourself now." I say to June and turn to gather all Rebecca's things into a suitcase. Once I did that, I went to register her out of her room, claiming I was her husband and we are leaving now for good. Got back to the room and Rebecca was still cold out, so gathered all her things and carried everything into the trunk and went to get her. I carried her to the passenger seat and put a seat belt on, got into car and drove off. She won't be running away this time, I am taking her home where she belongs. *** Rebecca *** I felt a sharp
*** Ryan *** A chair flew past me into the wall when I walked into Luke's office. The place was a mess, literally demolished, broken furniture, scattered documents everywhere, broken window and a broken man in front of a shattered desk. I knew he was pissed, angry with me, himself and everyone around him for not being able to locate our Luna. I would be pissed off too. I understand how he feels, I really do, if Soirse would ever disappear on me, I would be fuming, broken, beside myself not sure where to run and search or even if I should search, what if she left, because she couldn't be one of us. So I know what our Alpha is going through and how conflicted he must feel. I cleared my throat to get his attention and he lifted his bloodshot eyes to me. "Ryan, if you don't have anything good to tell me, you better get out of my office.." "Uhmm, sorry Alpha, I can't tell you what I don't have.." and my Alpha's eyes went black. I could tell he was on a brink of losing control over his w
*** Rebecca *** I woke up from the sound of the door closing and sat up. Which was a mistake, cause I was all dizzy and groggy, still had a terrible headache and crying myself to sleep just made it that much worse. I got out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom feeling sick again. After I emptied the last contents of my stomach I sat on the cold bathroom floor with my head in my hands, when Matt knocked at the doors. "Open the doors Rebecca. I got you some medicine to help with headache and nausea." "I don't want anything from you." "Rebecca. Why are you making this harder? I am trying to help you and you just keep behaving like a spoiled girl. We used to be good together, but you're ruining it all right now!" Matt sounded annoyed."Just leave me alone! You ruined our relationship and any chance of fixing it, when Louise bounced on your cock!" I screamed, feeling myself getting more and more annoyed by his nonsense. What does he think, blaming me for this, when he was the one tha
*** Ryan *** While I was left to deal with a mess inside the pack house. My Luna was cold out, which did not surprise me. She should be out for days to recover after what that bastard did to her, I couldn't even begin to imagine nor I really wanted to go down that path. My Alpha was gone, out in the woods or goddess knows where suffering. The pain he felt, we felt it all and I knew his wolf had taken over to help him cope with the truth and pain. The pain of not being able to keep his mate safe, not being able to protect her, not being able to confront the truth of what he did to her and I knew it was killing him, ripping him apart. So he had to get out there and let his wolf run and I was here to help him keep our pack in order."Ughhh.." I rubbed my temples, when Soirse walked in the office holding a plate of food and her perfect tummy in her other hand. "Babe, you need to eat." She said softly. " I have so many things to take care of, love, I need to pop into the office to mak
*** Rebecca *** It's been more than a few days since Luke has saved me and I have been staying in the packhouse, precisely in Luke's room. He was very adamant that I would stay with him and in his room and to be honest those were the best days and nights. Luke is unbelievably caring and gentle. I get a good morning kiss every morning and in the evening, it has gotten quite heated a couple of times, but we sort of agreed that we would take it slow and get to know each other before we actually gonna take the next step. We talked every night till early morning about everything and nothing, and he let me sleep till noon, while he got up early to take care of the ranch. Everyday I was falling deeper and deeper for this wonderful man and if I am to judge from the bulging between his legs every time we touched and kissed, I think he has been falling just as deep. He has managed to get my things back and whatever I didn't have, he promised that we would go shopping when I will fully recover.
*** Rebecca *** I woke up feeling groggy and sore. My neck was on fire and every muscle of my body was aching. Luke was soundly asleep next to me with his arms around me and wrapped us both in blankets. It was already daylight and we slept naked tangled in each other's arms all morning. I tried to get up, but my body was weak and it was all aching. I let out a soft moan of agony and Luke shot up from his slumber."What's wrong? You ok?" He asked with concern."I'm fine" I laughed softly. "Just very tired, my muscles won't listen to me and my neck is very sore. It feels as if it's on fire." "I'm sorry baby, it's my mark.. it will hurt for a while and your body will accept and recover from it, but it will get better in a day or two, I promise" he said apologetic."Don't be, I'll be fine, I wanted this, I wanted you and I would never take it back. I just need a little rest and maybe some food." I said smiling."Food, yes, food would be good. Let me pack everything and I will get you ho
*** Luke ***I was waiting for Rebecca to come meet me in the office impatiently, because I had something important to talk about. Ryan went to get her from our bedroom, she was still asleep when I left for the office this morning. I couldn't neglect my work any longer, the ranch needed me and no matter how much I would rather stay in bed with my mate, I had to get back to work. My doors opened and Ryan with Rebecca pulled me out of my thoughts, she walked in looking like an angel with those clueless emerald eyes. It was unbelievably hard to keep myself and my wolf in check after the pack doctor advised us to let Rebecca's body heal and recover after my mark for at least a couple of days. And it was a pure torture for me and I think for my Luna too, judging from the way she looks at me, just like a hungry wolf. It made me feel even more fuzzy inside knowing that she is craving me just as much. "Good morning, baby." "Good morning, Alpha." She said teasingly. I will never get enough
*** 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
