Christian's POVI slowly woke up to feeling little tingles and zaps dance across my face. I hummed as I slowly woke up.I felt a hand run through my hair, brushing the hair away from my face before the hand gently laid on my cheek. I nuzzle my face into the hand as I felt the intense tingles and zaps underneath this person's hand. A moment later realization set in and my eyes shot open.I took a sharp breath in when I looked into the eyes of Garrick. He was sitting on the bed next to me with his hand on my face, looking at me with a soft smileI quickly moved back as fast as I could, my back hitting the headboard when I could go no further.My heart was pounding in my chest as I looked around the room frantically trying to figure out what was going on. I thought maybe he took me back to his place, but I quickly realized I'm still in the same room at my cousin's house."What are you doing here?"I said hearing my voice break. Feeling the tears run down my face as I begin to feel myself
Noah's POVI stood outside leaning against a tree in the backyard with my arms folded. I could sense Anders was on his way back, we have that kind of connection. My beta and 3rd in command.I knew he was coming back before I even left the house. Which is why I'm standing out here and currently leaning against a tree waiting for him.I know how much he loves my son, both of them. He was there when both of them were born. He watched over them all the time. You could see how much he wanted kids.It was almost as if when he spent time with my kids, It satisfied that deep desire in him to be a father, at least just a little bit.I smirked when I seen him coming out of the tree line. The big bad bear with a piece of clothing still in his mouth with blood dripping from it. He walked up to me and huffed before dropping it at my feet.I watched the big bear shift back to Anders. He rotated head as he cracked his neck. He then looked down at the bloody chunk of cloth before looking back at me th
Garrick's POVI sit here on the edge of his bed looking down at him as he sleeps.I'm so thankful the scent blocker worked. I was able to slip right past patrol without them even knowing.I look down at my beautiful mate as he sleeps, goddess he's so beautiful!He looks so peaceful, more peaceful than he ever did with me.I let my eyes rake over his features. This is the first time I've really paid attention to him. The first time I've really looked at his face and all his features.Of course, I've looked at him before. When I first met him, both times I came here to bring him home. And every time I had sex with Julia.In the beginning, I did it as torture. I was so angry at him in the beginning. I hated that I was mated to him and not Julia. I didn't want anyone else but her.But I needed him near me to keep me stronger. That's all he was there for.I would look at him while I made love to her when she wasn't looking. I would look at him until he finally looked at me. I would keep eye
Garrick's POV After I finally made it home I had the doctor patch me up. I made my way back to my room. But as soon as I walked in she was sitting there on the chair next to her bookshelf. Her arms folded over her chest with her legs crossed glaring at me. "Garrick don't even try to lie to me. I know where you were. Why can't you just let him go?... Why can't you let him be and live his own life? You say you love me.... Just let him go then! That way you and I can be together and we don't have to worry about all this bullshit! I'm so sick of all this! It's been over a week since you've made love to me. And I can't remember the last time you actually told me you fucking loved me! You don't even say it anymore!.. You haven't said it in weeks!" She said getting angrier. "Tell me Garrick, do you actually still love me anymore? Or has the mate bond actually affected your feelings for me and now you love him?" She said then stood up as her chest heaved. She was pissed! She walk
Maddox's POV"Wow, so two mates huh! What's that even like?"Asher says with a cheesy grin on his face.Everyone who was here for the family meeting is staying the night. It's a little After dinner and we're sitting outside in the backyard.Everyone's sitting around the smaller bonfire except for us, the Alpha's.We're sitting at the table on the patio.Each of us with a beer in our hand with the exception of Reid. He hasn't drank since that night... The night he forgot Julian when we rescued Izzy.He's refused to drink ever since that night.I smile when I look toward the fire and see Addison sitting in Finn's lap. She has her arms wrapped around him. She's saying something but I can't hear her. She laughs then presses a kiss to the side of his face.He says something to her as he brings his hand to her face. He gently raked his hand across her cheek before leaning forward and pressing a kiss to her lips.She smiled at him, then ran her fingers through his hair before leaning forward
Garrick's POVShit I can't believe that worked again. This stuff is really good!Tiffany was right, he is here at Michael's. I can smell him already.She said his room is on the third floor. The entire third floor is for the alpha and his family. The two sons have their own room before the actual Alpha suite.The oldest son is on the right, and Christian is on the left which is the back side of the pack house. Perfect for meTiffany told me that Christian was moved to a secured room at Reid's. No windows and a metal door with guards. There's no way I can get to him once he's in that room.She told me this morning that Christian is coming here for the day for a surprise party.I really don't want to start a war so I'm trying one last thing.If I succeed then he's mine forever. He will come with me willingly. He won't be able to stay away from me if I mark and fully mate him.But I'm not a rapist, I'm not going to rape my mate. That's why I have this...I think to myself as I touch my p
Finn's POVI was sitting in the car on Maddox's lap as Addison drove us to Michael's.We're having a surprise party for Christian. His brother is coming back early for him. His father knew he wanted to see his brother. So he finally broke down and called Gabriel and told him what happened. Gabriel immediately booked a flight home and is heading back today.So his parents are putting together a surprise party for Christian and also a welcome home party for Gabriel.It worked out well since everyone was already over Reid's house. We just had to load up and head over.Michael is on his way to the airport and Noah, Ryder and Anders took Christian home early this morning.I snuggle in against Maddox as he talks to Addison. I don't pay attention to what they're talking about, I'm just enjoying being in his arms. I feel my angel forward with me, he's enjoying it too.I look up and see the pack house coming into view. I'm surprised when I realized I don't feel nervous this time about being aro
Christian's POVI woke up to my dad laying next to me sleeping with his arms around me. When I opened my eyes I seen my father sleeping on the couch in the corner of my room.I was confused initially. I didn't know why they were both in here like this.But it didn't take me long to remember what happened. At least what I can remember of it. Most of it is kind of hazy. But not all of it...I remember feeling really hot, I remember the pain that kept coursing through my body. My stomach hurt so bad.I remember Garrick laying next to me. He was naked and so was I.I was terrified, I didn't understand what was going on. I didn't understand why my body was wanting him so bad. Whenever he wasn't touching me it hurt, it hurts so bad!When he touched me the pain lessened and it wasn't as bad. When he touched me it was like my body had a mind of its own. I felt my body leaning into his touch, even though I hated it.I felt my body wanting him, even though my head didn't.I remember the liquid l
