Sara’s POVVictoria mind links Thomas, while getting me a cold towel .“Baby,” I hear Thomas's roar coming down the hall.“In here,” I yell back and he rushes in.“Baby, what happened?” Thomas was by my side holding my hand I could see the panic in his eyes.“I just started bleeding,” I say trying not to seem panicked but I am.“We are going to the hospital Zek has the car ready,” Thomas scoops me up as more blood runs down my legs. “Just stay awake baby. Stay awake, I love you. You are strong enough stay awake.”I feel like I’m floating away, like I’m not here anymore. I hear Thomas begging me to stay awake, but I can’t. Maybe I am weak just like Shay always said. I don’t know if we made it to the car.Im surrounded by light and a garden. I feel free, I see wolves running happily. I am happy too. I feel compelled to shift but I rub my belly and realize I’m no longer pregnant.“No,” I whisper.“Sorry to scare you,” a beautiful voice says sitting next to me. “But you are about to die
Shay’s POV I know I’m going to get a lot of hate from this, but if Sara sets a toe inside this room, I’m killing someone. I want only my mother. I don’t want Thomas in here, but I can’t stop him since he is my little girl's father. The past two weeks have been really hard on me emotionally. Thomas and I fought for six hours straight. Part of me thought he was going to reject me, but he didn’t. I apologized to Sara, Monica, Victoria, and my family. That was embarrassing as hell! Thomas finally started to warm up to me after Sara basically threatened to leave him. We are talking finally. But I don’t know if we will ever be in the same place we were. It’s also been difficult to see Sara as the center of attention. Everyone fawning over Wallace and Sara. Thomas has been only spending maybe four hours a day with me. And most of that is in the office. The pack has been dropping gifts for Wallace, the future Alpha and fussing over Sara. Even my parents are here to see their grandson. I
Sara’s POVI stagger to the hospital to get to Shay’s room. I feel the intense pain of the breaking bond and I need to see what is happening.I was feeding Wallace when I almost dropped him, because the pain hit me so hard. Thankfully, Mama was there to take him. Once Wallace was safe, my parents rushed to the hospital. I couldn’t move as fast, I’m dizzy and tired. I’m trying not to pass out. Then I feel Thomas’s fear.My Alpha is never afraid. Then I feel his pain again, only to have it disappear. Did he accept her rejection?As I get closer, I hear Shay still in pain, then I see Thomas on the floor being looked at by a doctor.“What happened?” I yell, kneeling next to my mate.“He got knocked out by a flying chair,” the doctor looked worried.I look at Shay, who is currently shaking with anger. Her eyes are glowing, and her claws are out. She gets out of bed when she sees me and stalks over to me. I’m confused, but then I realize she is about to strike.Dad pulls her back and holds
Shay’s POVMy door isn’t closed all the way and I hear my sister giggle, running down the hall to her room. Wallace is six weeks old today, guess I know what she is giggling about, oh there is Thomas’s playful growl.“We only have an hour,” Thomas said, and then I hear kissing and fumbling with Sara’s door.In an hour Thomas will come in here and spend two hours with me and Devon as our family time. Then he will take Devon to the nursery where he sleeps with the babies, so Sara and I can rest. He does all the nighttime feeding and changing.I guess they forgot to close their door all the way because I can hear flesh hitting flesh and their moans. That’s what my brain needed, a reminder that I can’t use sex to mend the bond. I can’t have sex for another two or so weeks.“Ahhhhhhh, Sara!”“Alpha!”I roll my eyes. Devon has finished eating, so I close my door. She’ll be pregnant again in no time!Was she jealous of me all those weeks when I was having sex with Thomas, and she wasn’t? Dou
Sara’s POV“Be nice to your sister,” Shay reminds Thomas, for the hundredth time. We are taking the kids to Ike, Sam, and Rebecca’s Ceremony.“She still hasn’t apologized,” he reminds.“We don’t care,” Shay and I say, in unison. “Be nice to your sister!”“I really hate the whole unison thing,” Thomas reminds us, rolling his eyes.“Then don’t piss us off,” we say in unison, making him cringe. Since Shay has been making the attempt to be a nicer person, we have reconnected as sisters. Even found a little of that twin magic we haven’t had since we were about 6.Shay had her hysterectomy two weeks ago and has recovered wonderfully. She has tried the cuddle thing and she and Thomas both said it’s just not them. I was shocked she tried, but proud of her, too.We found out yesterday I’m pregnant again. Shay was so excited for me. Not her fake excited, actually happy for me.Both babies are finally sleeping through the night, so we parents have fallen into a comfortable, works for us routine.
Sara's POV“Thank you for getting me out of the house!” Gina said, as we pull into Southern Crescent. “I was lonely without Jess and you two.”“We miss y’all too!” Shay said.We get out of the car and Gina looks like she is fighting her wolf.“Gina are you okay?” I ask.“My wolf wants control,” Gina shakes her head.“Alpha, you are so screwed,” Zek said, coming down the stairs.He stops and his wolf takes over. Her runs at me and Thomas just barely pulls me away before Zek crashes into Gina.Awwwwww!!!!!*******************************************Shay’s POVI’m absolutely jumping for joy. Gina is Zek’s mate. No wonder he couldn’t find her, she wasn't 18 yet. Well, she’s 18 now.“Hey, hey, mate in your room, not the driveway,” Thomas calls.“Yeah, says the man who mated in a conference room,” I remind him.“Eeww,” Gina said.“Congratulations, you two,” Sara smiles.“Brother, before I run off and well... You have a visitor. Megan is home from college,”Thomas’s eyes went wide.“Your hi
Thomas’s POVSara’s blood is gushing from her head. I wrap my shirt around her wound. Gina is calling, trying to get medical staff to my office. Shay is kneeling beside my sweet mate’s limp body, crying. I feel panic set in, as Sara’s breath becomes shallow.Sam appears and tries to heal her. We don’t talk, as he is concentrating. Ike appears with Jessica, and they try together. Gina is marked but the full moon is still three days away, she doesn’t have her powers.“What has happened here?” A voice of authority rings through the office.“She attacked the injured one,” Megan points to Shay. I realize Megan must have called 911 and brought the police and EMS to the house. So, she isn’t completely cold, just stupid.Medical staff arrives and takes over Sara’s care.“We are arresting you on assault charges,” the booming voice rings out. I feel Shay being pulled away, but I can’t leave Sara.“I’ll stay with Shanka,” I hear Zek say, but I don’t care.Gina is by my side following the stretch
Thomas’s POVI lean close to Sara, “fight to come back to me. I can protect you. I’ll do so much better! I love you baby.”“Why do you call Sara ‘baby’ and Shay you called ‘love’?” Gina has a stone-cold expression on her face.“Shay said ‘I love you’ first and Sara wanted to have babies.” I didn’t know the answer until I said it out loud. “Why?”“It always seemed odd to me. You and Shay were like fire and gasoline, while you and Sara seemed more in love.”“I love them differently, but equally. I can’t love Sara the way I do Shay, Sara would hate that and vice versa. And I’m not taking about in the bedroom, I mean across the board. I can speak most harshly to Shay because she will fight back and enjoy the fight, Sara is the opposite. Sara would fight back but she would resent me for making her. Sara does not like to fight but will if she needs to. Shay likes to fight rather she needs to or not.”Liam laughed at that, “Shay is more like her mother. Claire used to jump to crazy conclusio
Third Person POVIt’s been 10 years since the goddess promised to leave the Wallace clan alone. Patty finished medical school and started her career. Frank is Alpha and Alex serves as his Beta. The brothers don’t fight, but get along beautifully. Patty even keeps her mouth under control with Alex’s mate.“PattyCake, you okay, babe?” Frank calls, from the bedroom to the bathroom, where his mate and wife have been for a while. “Dr. Patty, what ya doing?”“Hey, Hotdog man,” Patty can’t stop smiling, walking toward Frank on the bed.“That is my least favorite of your nicknames for me,” Frank smiles at her. “What’s in your hand, babe?”“Oh, just a stick, that has pee on it,” Patty straddles her husband, wearing his tee shirt.“Gross, why are you bringing that to bed?”Patty giggles, holding the stick up to Franks eyes.Frank reads the stick, unable to comprehend what he is reading.“Babe, I’m pregnant, you knocked me up!” Patty squeals.Frank looks at the test again and smiles. “We are goin
Patty’s POVG is running so fast Rebecca and I can barely keep up. But I smell him as G rips the dungeon door open. The guards submit immediately since G, Rebecca and I are all sending our auras out. “Wolfsbane on the bars grab those gloves,” G tells me and Rebecca. Rebecca steps back and presses Ike’s mark, he orbs in with Rita and Garrett Sr. Rebecca hands Rita gloves as G unlocks the cell doors. Rita runs to Greyson who holds his mother tight and I see Garrett Sr wrap them both in a hug. G opens the cell where Frank is hanging by silver chains. “Frank,” I yell catching him as G releases him. Rebecca presses Sam’s mark on her and Sam arrives to heal Frank. “PattyCake,” Frank saids and I melt into his chest. We are both crying holding each other on the floor of the cell. “Frankfurter,” I cry holding him. “Alex was under a spell. Susan was a witch.” “Was?” Frank asks. “Yeah, Luca killed her for pointing a gun at me.”“Remind me to thank him.” Frank cups my face and pulls me in
Patty’s POV. When I wake up I look at my phone and Frank’s bed is empty. I disconnect the call and check my texts, nothing. He might have gone training. We talked last night and I’m feeling a slight pull to Lunar Road. “Hey sis,” April smiles as I join them at the breakfast table. “Hey. I need to get to Lunar Road. Marie is going to orb me to Blood Moon, then from The Portal to Lunar Road.” I blurt out. My conversation with Marie just spilling out. “So you are buying him as your fated mate?” Nancy asks. “He felt Austin kiss me, he felt Jern hold my hand In Lycaness. No way he feels those unless he’s fated to me.” I answer. “I want to be near him to feel the bond and etc etc.” April giggles. “Patty is going to be a Luna!” Nancy sings. “Yeah yeah!” I say. “Hello sisters!” Marie orbs to the seat between April and Nancy. “I really hate the orbing power,” Carlos rolls his eyes. “Just be glad we are all on your side,” Marie smiles. “Ready babe?” “Yeah just want to do hugs and
Patty’s POV Cooper River holds a special place for me. First of all, my sisters are Luna’s here. Second of all it’s a greater connection to my triplet, they are cousins with the Alphas. “Hey Beautiful,” Frank answers my call. He is in the office but he still answers me. “Am I interupting?” I ask. “Not at all. Just going over patrol schedules. Are you on Cooper River?” “I’m fifteen minutes away. I just wanted to call.” Frank smirks, “We should try to pleasure each other over the phone?” I see my driver stiffen. “I don’t think my driver wants that kind of show.”Franks smile doesn’t move. “Later then. Tonight on the phone.” I can’t help but giggle. “No you bad boy.” “I’m a perfect angel, baby. Trust me I haven’t hopped a portal and run after you yet. And it is taking some major restraint on my part. How long will you be with Nancy and April?” “I don’t know a week. Cindy wants me to come to Western Hollow while I’m here. She knows I HATE Tabitha, so she said a day trip would b
Patty’s POV“Goodnight, Frank,” I shyly smile.“Goodnight, baby,” he smiles back, and we hang up.“Patrica Wallace why didn’t you tell him you love him too?” Renee is grinning as she scolds me.I pull my knees to my chest as she sits on my bed.“I’m not ready yet,” I say blushing.Renee shakes her head. “You are so stubborn!”I lay back down and fall to sleep with my sister next to me.The morning brings training with Edward, Steven, Kass, and the Advanced Lycan Warriors.“Patty, let’s see what ya got,” Kass says, motioning me over to a large male. “This is Jern; Jern, Patty Wallace. Stances.”Jern smirks at me. “Loser buys dinner?”“Winner gets to pick the place?” I add.“It’s a date.”We fight and he can’t keep up. He’s slow and depends too much on his strength. I get my legs wrapped around his torso and arms around his neck.“Mercy,” he chokes out, as I tighten my grip.“I like steak,” I smile at him.“I’ll pick you up at 7.” He says, taking my hand and kissing it. It felt gross. I
Patty’s POV“Pitty- Pat,” my sister, Renee squeals, as I climb to that tarmac. “You are here! I’m so happy!”Kate is, by far, my favorite sister. Renee is number 3, she doesn’t annoy me, much. Marie is number two because she and I share Patrick’s attention and she never gets jealous.“This place is beautiful,” I comment, at the bright sun and clean greenery everywhere. The airport is in the middle of what looks like a lush rainforest.“Yeah, it’s nice. Come, Steven is waiting for us by the car. He and an old buddy are catching up,” Renee looks radiant.“So, Kate is so in love, she doesn’t care about not getting her Olive Wolf, or powers. What about you?” I ask.“Yeah, I was warned you are considering a chosen mate. I’m totally cool, but I get to be a Lycan, so…”“True.”We giggle, as her mate comes into view. My sister is lucky. Damn, this Lycan is hot!“So, talk to me about Frank,” Renee coos, as Steven drives us to their house.“He is Alex’s brother,” I shrug. “He makes me smile.”“
Patty’s POV When Alex was banished from Lunar Road his mother was sad, but completely understood. I still don’t understand what Frank was trying to prove grabbing my face. He can’t be my second chance. I mean I enjoy him, his company, oh and his kiss. My wolf is still not ready to accept a mate. She loved Alex so much. We can’t feel or sense any mates. I feel empty without the ability I have prized since I was a small child. Marie has orbed us home and the first people I see are my sister Kate and her human mate Tammy. “You look great to have been through a rejection. You think if I reject Kate the two of you could help together?” Tammy jokes. She is a laugh through it type person. And honestly to live with Kate, she doesn’t have a choice but to be that way. “Ignore her ass,” Kate says hugging me. “What does ice cream and sappy movies not sound good to you?” I laugh. “Honestly, I’m glad Frank and I had each other. We got through the worse of it.” “And you are sure you didn’t
Franks’s POVMy instinct is to grab my mate and hold her close, to comfort her. But, she still doesn’t see me as her mate. I have to keep my distance in public.“Let’s get this over with,” Dad says, calling order.The elders already have the footage from the conference room, where it all went down.Patty and I are forced to watch our mates make out with each other in front of the gathered assembly.When I watch Alex slap Patty’s face, I want to bash his face in. I see Uncle G also stiffen, as if restraining himself. Alpha Patrick, his Beta Marcus, G’s Beta Alec, and all of her sisters look deadly.Once the video is over, the Elders turn to Alex.“What do you have to say for yourself?” The Elder asks.Alex looks smug, “Susan and I have been in love for three years. We began having an affair before she was mated. Once she mated to my brother, I will admit she cooled on me. I would get a pity make out session, every now and again to appease me. But, she refused to have sex with me anymor
Patty’s POVI don’t wake up to the sun. Instead, I wake up to kisses.I moan, which seems to encourage the lips to continue.“Give me a hickie, and I’ll kill you,” I say.“But, I’m your mate, and you are mine. All mine forever,” I look up and see Alex’s face. His right hand is deformed from where I crushed it.“How did you get in here?” I ask, trying to move away from him.“I just came for what’s mine,” Alex pins me against a wall, as I catch sight of my bed. Frank is laying in a pool of blood. “I removed you from him, before killing him. Couldn’t have my mate covered in blood. Not until I’ve had my way with you.”“Stop,” I yell, and I try to get away.“Nothing can stop me. I’ll take you, then I’ll kill you,” Alex hisses and tries to stab me with a needle.Wait, I don’t feel any pain. He has me pinned, but no pain. This isn’t real. It’s a nightmare. Wake up, wake up, wake up!“Baby, baby, you are okay,” Frank’s voice is breaking through. “PattyCake, wake up it’s okay.”When I finally
