"A pour over coffee maker. Is it a maker? Carafe? I'm not even really sure what it's called. But yeah, this is how Alpha West makes his coffee. When he drinks coffee. Which I cantell you isn't really all that often.""I don't even know how we're mates." Dani shook her head and pulled one of the stools from the counter over next to the sink. She turned the water on as hot as it would go at the sink while Teo retreated to the other bar stool at the counter."Aren't you supposed to boil that or something first?" He asked, his eyebrows raised.Dani made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a snort."Supposed to. Whatever. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I need coffee. We're going to buy a coffee maker today. This town better sell one because I don't have time for Amazon to ship one out here.""I can't wait that long and who knows how long Prime takes to get things over these mountains to the middle of freaking nowhere." She held her hand up when he looked like he was

"What the fuck, Lyra? You gave up your mate?" Alpha Luca West had slipped out of his house and left for the pack house early that morning, intent on making sure this nonsense with the Bear Moon Pack was settled the very next day. He wasn't going to let his little mate be threatened, even by the man who was supposedly his greatest ally. "I didn't feel anything for him." She said the words in an odd flat tone, without looking up at him, her eyes focused on her nails. "Bullshit Lyra. That's not how it works. You must have felt like you were splitting your soul in two. And for what, power?" They were sitting alone in his office inside the packhouse, where Lyra had apparently returned to her spacious room rather than returning home to her pack as she had been ordered while still on the plane. "It's about more than just power, Luca." Her eyes flashed with rage as she looked up at him, her canines beginning to peek over the edges of her crimson lips. "Do you know what he was? He wasn't

"I was," he said after a moment. "It's been a very busy morning, with some upsetting news that I definitely don't want to think about now that my day has gotten significantly better." Picking her up easily he respositioned her so that she was straddling him, her chest now directly in his line of sight. Her breasts strained against the thin blue cotton of her shirt as his hands wrapped around her waist, pressing her down so that she was grinding against the hardness of his cock.Goddess, he wasn't going to be able to resist her for much longer. And it didn't seem that she wanted him to. Dani bent forward grabbed the bottom edge of her shirt, lifting it up over her head, so that she was only wearing a white lace bra, that left absolutely nothing to the imagination, dropping it on the floor before crashing her lips against his, her arms wrapped around his neck. She pressed her body hard against him, the sweet intoxicating scent of her desire impossible to ignore.Her lips parted, and s

Dani had walked into the boutique, which Stella had informed her was named Blush Bella by the proprietor Janice some thirty years earlier after a trip to Paris, wearing her short shorts, a t-shirt and her same well worn sandals that were on the verge of falling apart. "Not exactly the look we expect for our future Luna." Stella said in an exceedingly prim tone, that Dani simply couldn't take seriously both because of the expression on Stella's face, and also because what Stella was wearing today looked nothing like what she'd been wearing while she was out with her mother.The beautiful young woman had on black cargo pants that were tucked into her enormous black combat boots. The shiny boots looked enormous on her slight frame. On top she wore a heather grey tank top that exposed quite a bit of her toned midriff and chest, with a comfortable light grey shrug that just covered her shoulders and obviously toned arms. Around her neck, dangling on a gold chain just below the line of h

"Alpha West?" There was a knock on the meeting room door and Luca sat back in his chair, pushing his hand roughly through his hair as he stared down at the map."Who the Hell is that?" He muttered the words to himself.One of the younger pack warriors had taken over watching Lyra's door and now Lars was back by his side. "Can you find out how long until the jet arrives back here with Alpha Vos and his contingent. I want to be there to meet them at the air strip.""They're still a few hours out." Lars replied immediately."How many are they bringing?." Luca asked, turning towards the window, and staring off into the forest again."Ten. And before you ask, yes his third in command is with the group. He's her childhood friend and Vos said he wasn't going to leave him behind. If you want Vos' help Kent is part of the package.""Ridiculous." Luca growled the words."Sir?" The door had opened and Teo had been standing frozen in the doorway, waiting for a chance to speak. As Luca's

"We need someplace close and I know the perfect place. This is where my brother usually takes me when we come here to shop." Stella was practically dragging Dani, and their giant shopping bag across the parking lot. "Come on, we've got to hurry. Who knows how close they are. And I'm starving. And I'm guessing once my brother gets here I'm not going to be eating out again for a while. Glass of water! Crust of bread!" She managed to keep a straight face as she barked the words before breaking down in laughter and rolling her eyes. "Okay, so it won't be that bad. But I'll definitely be at home with mom for at least a few days until he cools down."But you're taking me the place you two always go? Isn't that one of the first places he'll look? Dani looked around nervously as if she expected Luca to appear from every empty car they passed."Oh, he's going to find us. And soon. I'm just hoping I have a chance to tell you a bit about his history first. And to eat first. I was thinking abou

"Hi Baby, I didn't know you were coming down to Fairbanks today. Do you want to have dinner with us? We would have waited if we knew that you were coming?" Dani smiled brightly at her mate as if she hadn't run off and ditched her guard halfway through the day and then driven for hours on the back of his little sister's motorcycle to buy a coffee pot. "Andraste Hayes." He growled her name in a low voice and she narrowed her eyes at his use of her full name. "We have a lot to talk about." He was next to her now and he gripped her upper arm tightly as she rose gracefully from her seat, unwilling to make a scene."Teo." She turned her head quickly, before he pulled her outside. "Please pack up our meals. And could you order extra quesadillas and burgers for everyone please. This place is really good." Next she turned to the woman working behind the counter who was watching the scene unfold with a worried expression. "Thank you so much. We'll definitely have to stop by when the boys are

It was hard for Dani to stay mad at her mate when he had brought her to such a magical place. She lay back on the luxurious bed and stared up through the enormous dome that showed the sky and forest around her, as she waited for her mate to come in from outside. She had pulled off her boots and collapsed backwards to stare up at the still light sky, watching the small wisps of clouds overhead and wondering exactly how angry Luca was with her. She knew that he was upset. She had expected him to be. But how upset was he? And how did he deal with his emotions when he was upset?Dani had been reminded, as she tried to gauge her mate's emotions back in the car, that she didn't know Luca all that well, and that she had gone far past just teasing him. Her entire life, but especially after she came back from being away from her mother, she had had a tendency to push boundaries, sometimes simply to see what would happen.After all, she frequently reminded her wolf, whenever her wolf questi

This is the last chapter. Thank you all for supporting me! Wish you all the best in life. Lots of love!"Come on Dani, you can't be late to your own baby shower!" Stella was dragging her down the hall as Dani rolled her eyes. "I can't move that fast anymore Stella. I know that you've never been pregnant yet but ask Emery. It slows you down. Especially twins." "She just can't wait to see her Bestie. Fern. They haven't gotten to see each other in a month since the last council meeting of Alpha's when Kent was officially sworn in. Do you know how moppy my husband has been since he lost his third in command?" She turned her eyes accusingly on Dani who ignored the question, instead turning towards Stella. "I thought I was your Bestie!" She said in a teasing tone. "We're all best friends you guys." Stella linked arms with the other two women as she walked between the two Lunas, slowing her pace. "And when is the next time we're all going to be together?" "Probaby when she pops?" Emery

"Now lets see if this fits." He helped her slide the ring onto the fourth finger on her left hand and she finally got a good look at it. The ring was a simple, gorgeous, round cut diamond and it fit perfectly when he slipped it onto her finger."I love it." She said, throwing her arms around his neck and burying her face against his chest. "It's perfect." As she pulled away her eyes drifted back outside to the valley below. "You still haven't told me where we are. Where did you buy a home?""Kittilä." He replied, staring out the window at the beautiful white landscape below.She shook her head. "I have no idea where that is.""Lapland. We're in Finland in the Artic Circle. I promised you Northern Lights. I know it's early in the year still but so help me I'm giving us our best chance at Northern Lights on our week long trip. At least we're pretty far north this time." "We could just wait a bit until it's later in the year.""I don't want my mate to have to wait for anything after

"Where are we?" she asked as he began to lead her, blindfolded, towards the door of their personal jet. It wasn't tropical or humid. In fact, it was rather cold and she hadn't even stepped outside yet.Dani had slept for so long on the plane that she had no idea how long they'd been flying. They could be anywhere at all in the world. And she was impatient to know where Luca had taken them and what exactly his plans were. She had never been good at waiting for surprises."Kitten, you told me that you were going to let me make this a surprise for you. Don't try to peak now." One of his hands was on her side, as he tucked a long puffy jacket over her shoulders."Is this new?" she asked as he helped slide her arms into the sleeves."Here, step. How do these boots feel?" he ignored her question as he helped her into a pair of comfortable new boots that she couldn't see."They feel perfect. How long have you been planning this? And where are we?" Her hands, which were now being warmed

"Do you know that you are approximately eight weeks pregnant?" The doctor's eyes were glued to her face when she asked the question, as Dani sat on the bed frozen, feeling her own eyes grow wide."I- I-" whatever it was she had thought to say was trapped inside her head so she let out the breath she only just realized she'd been holding and tried again. "I guess I had begun to suspect it in the last few days. I'd just started to feel sick. And the healing thing.""The healing thing?""I don't know if you noticed my old injuries? Dani began."Yes. Your wolf actually was able to heal most of your injuries before you got here. There wasn't all that much to do. You didn't even need stitches. It was impressive. But we checked you over carefully for other injuries and we could tell that there were old injuries that hadn't healed the way they should have if you'd had your healing abilities intact, and that those were both bone breaks and the ones that included your old scars.""Just bef

It was morning when Dani woke up in a hospital bed in New York City. She blinked, gazing around at the brightly lit room. In a moment Luca was by her side. "This room is insane." she whispered, her throat feeling scratchy and dry.Somehow Luca had managed to get her a corner room with glass windows that made up a huge portion of the walls with incredible views of the city. Before she'd spoken and woke him up, she realized, he had been sleeping in a comfortable looking recliner. And her bed was much more comfortable than a typical looking hospital bed. The sheets and blankets looked like they should have been in a fancy hotel."The doctor will want to know that you're awake. They wouldn't tell me anything until you woke up. But it looks like your healing is accelerated again for some reason. As soon as they removed the knife I could tell that it wasn't like before. Your wolf started to help with your healing. I should have noticed it earlier in the cuts and bruises from your fight wi

Dani knew that Luca had won his fight, somewhere behind her, when she smelled the blood of Beta Reed spill across the cold tile of the floor. She knew Beta Reed well. He'd taken his turn torturing her when she lived here. He was every bit as cruel as his Alpha and she felt her snout curl in an approximation of a smile before she focused back on the battle before her. She had an idea of how she might take down this Alpha, but it was risky.Could she get Alpha Harding to let down his guard because he believed her so weak she wasn't worth guarding against? It would be ridiculous for him to do it, but he was an Alpha, and nothing if not arrogant beyond measure.Dani charged at him again, doing the exact same thing she had done the previous time. This time he sent her sprawling with another powerful blow of his paw. She noticed that his claws weren't even extended. He'd never once hurt her in his wolf form. He preferred to torture her as a human.He'd hit her hard and she'd slid all the

Dani shoved down the wave of nausea that tried the push its way up her throat. She didn't have time for any of that. If she survived the attack she would worry about what the way she had been feeling these past few days might mean.She hadn't gone into heat. What were the odds of getting pregnant if she hadn't gone into heat when she was with Luca? Hell, she'd never gone into heat once in her entire life. Privately, she'd believed it was because Harding had done something to break her body, between the hard physical abuse and the injections. She'd intended to talk with Luca about it, but the time never seemed right. And she hadn't really known if her body didn't work the way the Goddess had intended it to, which had made it even harder to bring the subject up. After all, what exactly would she say.When she'd tried to bring it up with Dr. Evans, back at Harvest Moon, the doctor had ordered an ultrasound and some blood work and had then assured Dani that everything looked to be in wo

"Thank you for joining us Fern." Alpha Harding hadn't looked up, and Stella, with her now human hearing abilities, hadn't heard the frail looking girl arrive, but when he said her name, every head in the room immediately turned in her direction.The little maid looked nothing like she had when she had first knocked on the door to Stella's room. Stella remembered that Alpha Harding had mentioned earlier that "they" had picked out a dress together. Stella was certain that Fern had had no part in picking out this dress. Like so much of Lyra's clothing it was crimson red, just like the lipstick that was now smeared across Fern's full lips.The dress itself was simple. It was cut low on top, with Fern's small, full, round breasts, which fit her frame nicely, nearly spilling out of it. On the bottom it was so short that Stella could tell that the little maid's fingers were itching to tug it down so that it would cover more.As a child who had been forced to wear many dresses that she was

"It smells like summertime. Like rainbows. Like everything that's good and pure in the world." Waylon was following close behind Dani, as he had been since she first left Alaska, but she had never felt so tempted to give him a good hard smack upside the head. "Head in the game, Parker. What are you drunk?" she hissed the words under her breath as she moved forward through the dark tunnel, her steps slow and silent, her mind vaguely registering her own surprise at knowing his last name. "If I didn't know any better I would think that you just found-" she let her whispered words trail off in the middle of her sentence.No. That was impossible. The odds of what she had almost suggested were a thousand to one and it would be cruel to give Waylon that sort of hope, especially when they were on this sort of a mission and she had no particular reason to believe that it was true. It was more likely that the poor man hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in the last week, since he was so worri
