"Is your mate okay with you running off with me like this?" Dani was sitting in the passenger seat of Waylon's car, her backpack at her feet, his duffle bag on the seat between them. He had given her one of his baseball hats, a faded camouflage thing that was thoroughly broken in, and an oversized pair of sunglasses that obviously didn't belong to Waylon. Dani watched as Waylon's hands clenched on the steering wheel, his expression turning pained in an instant. She began to ramble, the way she always did when she was nervous. "I remember you mentioned having a mate when you were talking about my mark." Her hands traveled up to her collarbone and she rubbed at the mark roughly as if she could scrub it off of her skin."It's alright. You're right. I did have a mate. And I did mention that earlier. I knew Cora more or less my entire life. We grew up together. She was my dad's beta's daughter. We played together almost every day because our mom's were best friends. She could beat me up

"Dani's lived through too much to just fucking drowned." "It seems your right about that." Alpha Vos came into his office, with Teo by his side. Luca immediately noticed the way his third in command refused to meet his gaze and kept close to the door while Vos settled in a chair directly across from him. Luca had been making phone calls for an hour, personally speaking with every Alpha he could get ahold of, and in areas without Alpha's with every Beta in charge, in the regions immediately surrounding his territory.He was getting ready to leave and search for Dani himself, but before he did he wanted to put the fear of God, or more specifically the fear of himself, into every member of the pack leadership who was out there looking for Dani so that they could impart it to their people on the ground and help them understand just how critical it was that they found her and brought her home unharmed."Do you have news? Did we find her?" Luca was on his feet in an instant, but Vos was

The door slammed open and Dani blinked as sunlight flooded into the room. Fear rushed through her body as she sat up on the bed, blinded by the flashlights that shone in her eyes as men came pouring in through the door. The only sound that she could hear, over the shouting of the men who had kicked open the door, was the pounding of her heart. The out of control thumping was ridiculously loud in her ears as she clung to the thin bed sheets that covered her body as if they could somehow protect her from the werewolves had just burst into the bedroom. And then he was there, next to her, his lips crashing down on hers, his intoxicating scent filling her lungs. He pulled away from her for a moment and she saw the hurt in his eyes before his lips were on hers again. "You ran from me." He whispered. She could hardly think, her body was simply responding to his touch. She had missed being with him more than she'd realized."Don't let them hurt-" her voice trailed off as his teeth grazed h

"Kent?" Dani was sitting on the edge of her bed, clutching the beige motel phone against her cheek. "It's Dani. No, he doesn't know where I am and I'm hoping you aren't going to mention this call to anyone else either." Waylon had packed his bag up quickly and was lacing up his work boots as he sat on the end of his own bed, listening to the conversation that she was having that was putting the both of them at great risk."Well it's not lying if he doesn't ask you and is he even with you right now? Why the fuck would you want to help Luca anyways? It's not like you two are BFFs." There was another long silence. "Fine. Do what you have to do. But where are you? And Harding has her? Do you know for sure that she's in New York? But that's where he is. So it does make sense. And Vos is where? Oh that's just fan-fucking-tastic. Why isn't my brother helping you break your mate out of that hellhole instead of helping my mate find me?"This time Waylon could hear the response from across

Alpha Vos was driving, while Luca sat in the passenger seat and stared out the window, half expecting to see Dani out there, somewhere, staring back at him from the thick cover of the forest. The world had never felt as huge as it did now that she was missing. She could be anywhere and the more time passed the more true that statement became. It was unlikely she would be able to get a flight, what with all the security restrictions in place, and the missing person's report that he had filed, but he really didn't want to rule anything out. "How long have you known your Beta, West?" Vos' voice jerked him out of his reverie. In a half hour they would be in Fairbanks and they had driven in silence nearly the entire way, listening to only the rumble of the engine, each of them lost in their own thoughts. "My whole life really. We went to preschool and grew up together." Vos nodded at the answer. "That's lucky, that you have someone like that, that you can really trust. Is he mated?" "N

Waylon shook his head, something he'd been doing every five minutes since meeting this fiery little wolf. He forced himself to walk back across the room and sit down on his own bed. He was already breaking every code and rule for her. He was not going to make things more complicated for her than they already were by adding to her confusion.As male and female wolves, flung together in close quarters for extended periods of time, it was natural that sparks would start to fly between them, especially since their mates were absent and especially because Waylon's mate was dead and Dani's mate bond had been damaged severely by the betrayal that her wolf and that she as a human had experienced.If they'd just been working together day in and day out going home to their mates it would have been fine. Unnoticeable even. But that was not what was happening. They were in a high stress situation, sleeping in the same room and Dani was hoping to never see her mate again.Waylon's wolf was an A

Dani emerged from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her body and another hiding her hair, releasing a cloud of steam as the door opened. She'd' been in there for a while and the pizza had arrived. Waylon had placed the pizza she'd ordered on the table near the door. He'd ordered pepperoni and had already eaten half of it while watching stories about the missing "newlywed bride," Andraste West, on the news. There weren't any interviews with Luca, only pictures of him standing next to a giant tree in his tux as Dani walked towards him for their "wedding" and Waylon assumed this could only be because the Alpha male was tracking them down, at that very moment.After a few seconds rustling through her bag, Dani disappeared back into the bathroom before emerging again in her nightly outfit of shorts paired with a thin t-shirt. Her hair was down now, and she'd combed it out. While it was still wet, Waylon could see that she'd dyed it pink."I'm so dead." he muttered, mostly to himself

Waylon stared at the back of the bright pink bob, bile rising in his throat, as he imagined a hundred and one ways he might die. He had promised to protect his Luna and what had he done? Mated and marked her less than a week after her induction ceremony, while she was in such a fragile state. "Waylon? Waylon? Are you alright?" A pillow hit him in the head for the second night in a row, although if he was honest, on the previous night he had thrown the first pillow.He jerked awake, eyes staring at the ceiling. There was just enough light coming in through the space between the curtain and the window to see where he was and he wasn't back home in his own comfortable bed and Dani most definitely was not in bed beside him. Looking over in the darkness, he was able to reassure himself that Dani was safely tucked into her own Queen sized bed, and was entirely untouched, thank the Goddess.That dream had been too much. First to have dreamed of his own sweet mate, for the first time in y

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
