Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 65 : Crazy enough to believe
Chapter 65: Crazy enough to believe **Levi’s POV “What can we do for you until the pack meeting,” Grant asks me, concerned “There must be something we can do now to help keep your family safe.” Grant is a good man. I am grateful that we met, even if it wasn’t necessarily under the most conventional of circumstances. “I thank you for your kindness Grant,” I tell him with appreciation, “It will not be forgotten by our pack. There is something that I need to ask you to do for us. Please let me know immediately if you hear of someone who might want to wish us harm. Even if it seems like just idle talk. I need to be able to assess any threat that might present itself as soon as possible.” “Of course,” Grant says, shaking my hand “Hell, I was going to do that anyway! We’re in this together Levi. My pack is now sworn to protect yours.”“And mine yours,” I say, “I swear it. I thank you.”“And I thank you as well,” my Luna tells him, giving him an improm
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 66 : Let us protect you
Chapter 66: Let us protect you**Amber’s POV “Amber, we all know that you dislike being told what to do, but this is important,” August tells me, emphatically, “You need to listen to me.” August is correct, and I have to smile at his observation. I don’t like being told what to do at all. But it’s Levi’s grandfather, so I decide to humor him. “Yes August, what do you need,” I ask him, trying not to sigh. I already hate where this conversation is going, and I don’t even know what I’m being told to do yet. “It’s not what I need, it’s what you will need,” he says in exasperation, as apparently I am not realizing the obvious, “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. I think it is better for you to move into one of my properties than to remain here at home.” “Why,” I ask him, confused, “I mean, I appreciate the offer, but, what makes one of your properties safer than my own home?” This man is making absolutely no sense to me. I appreciate that he
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 67 : Stunned, but pleased
Chapter 67: Stunned, but pleased **Levis POV “Thank you for coming everyone,” I tell our guests “I know that this place is more than a little out of your way. But it seemed like the best place to get together to discuss our security details.” I decided that the most expedient way to talk with Deigo’s pack and Amber’s family is to gather them together at our new place. I want them to see the property we need to secure, and decide what our protocol will be given everyone’s availability.Diego is always kind when it comes to Amber, and he doesn’t disappoint today. “Are you serious,” Diego says, regarding the art on the walls, “This place is phenomenal! I’ll come by anytime! Hell, if I’d had any idea that it would be this amazing I’d have dropped by even if you hadn’t asked me!” “I might even drop by when you don’t want me if those jacuzzis are as amazing as they look,” he jokes. Then again, he might not be joking. He definitely looks enthused about the
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 68 : He will pay
Chapter 68: He will pay **Levi’s POV“Listen! Did you hear that,” my mate whispers to me, “It sounds like it’s coming from outside!” The crashing sound disturbs my sleep and my adrenaline kicks into high gear. I motion for my Luna to be silent, and run to the window. There is a figure, crouching behind the water fountain out front. Whoever it is, he is not very good at hiding. I grab my walkie and engage the protocol.“Alert, intruder,” I tell my surveillance team, “I repeat, alert! Front yard. Appears to be male..” “Copy that,” Andrew, my head of security, responds immediately, “We have eyes on him. How do we proceed?”“Capture the suspect,” I tell him urgently, “Bring him to the basement. NOW!” I am enraged. How dare this person threaten my Luna! My family! By the Goddess whoever this is he will pay! “Levi, it’s ok,” my Luna tells me, obviously trying to calm me, “Whoever it is, they will catch him.” “Oh, he better HOPE it is securit
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 69 : Pretty dangerous to me
Chapter 69: Pretty dangerous to me ** Sebastian’s POV “Ok, load him up, nice and easy,” the EMT says,"Watch his head.” They are loading me onto an ambulance. Which is great! I did it! I convinced them that I’m crazy! Although I didn’t think they would actually strap me down here. That’s weird. I guess I forgot about that part. Doesn’t matter. I’ll be free soon enough. “So, tell me again, what happened,” the paramedic is asking Levi, “ It will be helpful to the doctors when we do his intake.” The EMTS have no idea who they are dealing with! But they will find out! THEY ALL WILL FIND OUT! “He appeared on my property, and was intercepted by my security team,” Levi, that lying bastard tells him, “He made threats to my wife, and said he would kill me.” “HE’S LYING LYING LYING! I WOULD NEVER HURT AMBER! NEVER,” I tell whomever might be listening, “YOU CAN’T TRUST LEVI! DON'T DO IT! HE’S EVIL!” That lying bastard. Levi thinks he’s going to get a
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 70 : Pursued by a Hellhound
Chapter 70: Pursued by a Hellhound ** Levi’s POV “The first thing I need to know is how the hell did he get on our property,” I ask Andrew, feeling as if my head is going to explode, “That’s what I need to know. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?” I can’t understand how Sebastian breached the perimeter to begin with. How did he get past our guards? The cameras? That enormous guard dog (so huge that his actual name is “Hellhound”) that is supposed to be patrolling with my men? “He took advantage of a blind spot on the left side, sir,” Andrew tells me, with a note of apology in his tone, “We just figured it out. We’ve been going over the tapes all night. If you enter from the woods on the south side, there’s a narrow passage that, if you know what you’re doing, or if you are very lucky, you can use to avoid the cameras.” Andrew is my head of security. I’ve called him in to try and help me figure out what happened. We need to ensure that it never happens again. “S
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 71 : Bane of wolves
Chapter 71: Bane of wolves**Amber’s POV “Thank you all for coming today to our pack gathering,” my husband says to the crowd, “I see that all ten allied packs are represented here, and I greatly appreciate that.” This is the meeting we have been planning for weeks. Levi has been working feverishly to get our packs together to share information on potential threats. We’re meeting in the central town hall. This building has housed generations of shifter meetings, and the stone structure is imposing. We’ve chosen it for its capacity to seat hundreds comfortably. My husband takes the stage, and I can’t help but take a moment to admire him. He looks so handsome in his black suit and tie. It’s distracting in a wonderful way. I want to kiss him, but now is probably not the best time. I settle for a wink. He returns it with a smile so sexy that I feel my wolf stir. Steady girl, I tell her. Not the time or place. “I would like to officially call this meeting to ord
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 72 : A monster like that
Chapter 72: A monster like that** Levi’s POV“An offense like that, against our own kind, is punishable by death,” I tell him, careful to keep my tone neutral, “That’s a very serious accusation, Al.” I never thought about that, which disturbs me greatly. That a fellow shifter could potentially be involved in these threats. I suppose I didn’t want to. Abhorrent though this idea might be, it bears serious consideration. “I told you, you wouldn’t like it,” Al says sadly, “ Trust me when I tell you, I don’t want to believe it either, but it’s happened before. And I think it’s important that you don’t overlook it as a possibility now. Shifters are dying. We are being hunted. If there is a shifter who is helping these hunters kill us, then we need to take that possibility seriously.” “For the record, I don’t know anyone who I believe would be capable of such things,” Al clarifies, “I don’t want to believe that a monster like that could dwell among us. I’m not a

Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 100 : Ranger
Chapter 100: Ranger **Levi’s POV Hope and I look at each other in shock. I was definitely not expecting that. “If you let me out, then I will kill him,” he says, eerily blankly, “If I escape, I will kill him. I can’t help it. So you will need to kill me to ensure his safety.” “I don’t, I mean, I can’t do that,” Hope tells this strange creature in revulsion at the idea, “I will turn you over to the authorities. That is the only thing I can do. The only thing I will do.” “Very well,” it says, “They will probably kill me then. It is for the best.” Then the man begins his terrible shift back to the beast it was when he was captured. In a matter of moments, the man inside him is gone forever. I shiver at the thought of it. And at the howls that start up again the moment the shift is complete. “Dan is safe,” Hope tells me, her voice unsteady, “It worked. Thank the Goddess.” “You did excellent work,” I tell her, “You were the only one who could
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 99 : A different type of beast
Chapter 99: A different type of beast ***Levi’s POV “Dan, we’re going to play this safe,” Hope tells him seriously, “Amber and the twins definitely healed you. There’s no question of that. But just to be extra careful, the doctor and I want you to follow up with the medicine that you would have been prescribed if you hadn’t been healed. Antibiotics and doses of anti-venom. Every twelve hours for the next week.” I’m still shocked by this turn of events, but Dan seems to be handling all of this incredibly well. Ah, to be young again. “No problem,” he says with a smile, “I’ve got my life back! I’ll take whatever you think is best.” “And even though I know you feel great,” Hope continues with a smile, “Just do me a favor and humor me on this. Get some rest for the next week. You don’t actually have to remain in bed, that would be silly given how well you’ve already healed. You can still see friends, and I know that you’re going to meet with the school lat
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 98 : Grievously injured
Chapter 98: Grievously injured ***Amber’s POV “We’re on our way,” I tell him, “Where are you now?” “I brought him to Hope’s place,” August says sadly, “You need to hurry.” I look to my husband, who is sleeping so peacefully that it saddens me to wake him up. But Dan has been hurt, and if August has brought him to Hope’s place, he must be grievously injured. There is no time to waste. “My love,” I tell him softly, ‘I’m so sorry, but you need to wake up.” My husband stirs, and he looks so perfect lying there in bed that I want to make love all over again. But we need to go. “What is it, my love,” he asks, raising an eyebrow, “Are you ready to try the handcuffs on you this time?” “I am,” I tell him, “But unfortunately, that’s not why I woke you up. There’s been an accident. It’s Dan, and he needs our help.’ “What,” he asks, instantly alert, “What’s happened? Is he ok?” “August said he’s alive, but it’s bad,” I tell him sadly,
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 97 : Too powerful to be denied
Chapter 97: Too powerful to be denied ** Amber’s POV “The first thing we need to do is figure out where you’re going to live,” I tell Dan, “Where have you been staying so far?” “I’m embarrassed about it, but lately I’ve been staying at that motel on Route 9,” he tells me, blushing, “The Black Swan. It’s terrible, and I absolutely hate it. But with my current financial situation, it’s the best that I can afford. Believe me, I’ve looked around.” I am horrified at the thought of a sixteen year old boy staying at that place. It is not a good place for anyone to stay. But anyone under eighteen staying there turns my stomach. Especially Dan, who is innocent despite what he has been forced to live through. Unacceptable. “Then tonight you’re staying with us,” I tell him firmly, “August, you take him out there to that terrible place to get his stuff, and bring him back as fast as you can.” “Are you sure,” Dan asks me, tentatively, “I mean, it’s so kind of
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 96 : Creative writing assignment
Chapter 96: Creative writing assignment ***Lev’s POV “Dan, you could have come to me,” I tell him sadly, “You could have come to me and told me what happened. I would have protected you. I would have found a place for you. Why did you think that you had to do all of that?” I remember how I felt when my father died. How terrified I was. How my grandmother preyed on that fear within me. Now as I try to envision what it would have been like if everyone I knew and loved was gone, I can’t help shivering. “With all due respect sir, I didn’t know you,” he tells me, and I can see the tears in his eyes that he wipes away quickly, “I didn’t know what to do. I was out of money, and out of options. My entire family, everyone I ever knew, was dead. I wanted to stay alive, and I did the only thing I could think of.” “And what did you think of,” I ask him, concerned for his response “How did you stay alive?” “Well, the thing is, I’m only sixteen,” he replies sa
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 95 : A little kinder
Chapter 95: A little kinder *** Amber’s POV “Don’t look so surprised guys,” I tell everyone, “Look at it from my perspective. I’m sick of being in fear. Sebastian gave me nightmares, and it turns out that he was hearing voices in his head. Granted, that makes him scary for a completely different reason, but he didn’t know anything. He was useless. I don’t know what this guy’s deal is, but I’m going to see what I can find out about this nonsense, because I’ve had it.” My husband looks at me as if I’ve lost my mind. I know he only wants to protect me, but maybe it’s time that I started protecting myself. “My love,” he says to me, “I just don’t want you to have to deal with this. This is awful business. I’m supposed to protect you, and it feels strange to me to allow you to confront this man. We don’t know what we’re dealing with yet. I consider what my husband has said to me, and while I don’t agree with him, I appreciate his desire to keep me safe. I dec
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 94 : Best man for the job
Chapter 94: Best man for the job *** Levi’s POV “But I tried, I tried,” Sebastian is screaming, “I tried to deliver her to you! They got me first! I thought you would understand!” Elliot and I burst into the room together to see what’s going on. And we find no one. No one but Sebastian, screaming at someone who doesn’t appear to be there. “I did what you told me to do,” he continues, sobbing, and staring at something that neither Elliot nor I can see, “I have been your humble servant. Surely that counts for something!” “Sebastian,” I say, carefully, “Who are you talking to? What’s going on?” “Oh, don’t play with me Levi,” he says, crying uncontrollably, “Don’t pretend you don’t know. Say hello to Dr. Sherman. It’s over now. It’s OVER!” Elliot and I look at each other, and come to the same horrible realization: there is no boss. No Dr. Sherman. Sebastian has been taking orders from no one. All of this time, we thought he was the shifter wo
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 93 : Strike a deal
Chapter 93: Strike a deal ***Elliot’s POV “You know,” I tell Sebastian, leaning closer to really sell what I’m saying to him, “You don’t need to worry about Levi. Not really. He doesn’t have the stomach for what we know needs to be done. You and I, we’re different, you know?” It sickens me to say these things, but I need to find out who’s really behind the scenes here. And Levi can’t play this particular card. Sebastian knows where his interests lie. He may be crazy, but he’s not stupid. Not at all. So I’ll play the rogue shifter trying to get his payday if it means that Amber and the twins remain safe. Although I’m going to need to shower after this. Probably several times. Sebastian sickens me. I just hope I can hide my feelings long enough to figure out who he’s reporting to. “Yes, we are,” Sebastian says, and I can’t believe that he’s buying it, “But I think that the boss would prefer to reveal himself in person. You won’t have to wait long. He’s coming,
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 92 : As merciless as necessary
Chapter 92: As merciless as necessary ***Levi’s POV “Boss, we’ve got him,” Elliot exclaims, “We have Sebastian. We’ve finally got that bastard!” “Are you serious,” I ask him, whispering so as not to wake my wife, “Where is he? How did you find him?” I’m impressed. I knew we would get him eventually, but I had never even hoped that it would be this fast. It’s four o’clock in the morning, but only twenty four hours after I asked for help in his capture. Not bad at all. “He was wandering the streets,” he tells me, “My team found him in the park, muttering to himself. It was bizarre, actually. I thought he would be more stealthy than that.” “Yeah, so did I,” I tell him, thinking, “Where do you have him?” “We brought him directly to the place you said,” he responds, “That really was the best move.” The place he refers to is a facility I had my men create specifically to hold Sebastian. It is modeled on the facility he will ultimately reside
