Luke was Josh’s manager and publicist.
Connor sent him an apologetic glance. "You better take it, you have to talk to him sometime, so you might as well get it over with".
"Hi Luke, I got you on speakerphone, Connor is here too, I need to keep my hands free". Josh said as sweetly as possible, hoping that Luke wouldn't yell too much.
They both heard Luke take a big breath of relief, befor
Ami just felt like giving up, but she kept telling herself that is was stupid, she didn't seem to be badly hurt, she was sore yes and had some bruises, but she could move arms and legs and nothing felt broken.She didn't know how long you could go without water, but it was hot, dry and dusty and she didn't think that made it better.When the third after-shock hit, she didn't even react, it was a lot less violent than the other ones, but she still heard the debris move around.The dust settled and suddenly she realised that it wasn't as dark as it
It was getting close to morning, they hadn't seen a human being for hours and Connor was frustrated, wondering where the help was, where were the rescue crews and the volunteers searching for survivors in the rubbles.They were getting close, and he had an urge to run, except he couldn't, he was bone tired, every muscle was sore and his shoulder was throbbing painfully.Another part of him wanted to run away, afraid of what he would find, afraid of being too late, afraid he had to realise that he had lost her forever.He looked at Josh with great worry, there was no longer any doubt that he needed help,
Amelia had dozed off and was awakened by someone rummaging about, she wanted to yell for help, but her voice wouldn't work, she could only manage a small squeaky noise.She was pretty sure she was hallucinating, because that sounded like Josh, but it couldn't be, he couldn't possibly be there.But then she heard a voice she could never be mistaken about, it was Connor, he was okay and he was here, he had come for her."Connor". Her voice was very weak and raw, barely audible more than a couple of feets from her mouth, she mustered all her energy and called again. "Connor ! I'm here".
"Connor what happened to him ?" Ami was scared, she was looking at Josh, and he looked like he was literally dying in their hands.Connor got him down on his back and was listening to his chest. "He got trapped under a falling wall in one of the after quakes, I had to revive him, I think he has a punctured lung".He tried to use his enhanced Wolf senses, feeling and smelling how his friend was feeling, but once again there was no contact to his wolf."You let him go on after that ? Connor for God's sake, he should have been to a hospital". She was afraid that they could do nothing to help Josh.
"Connor, stay here with Josh, I am going to go get Luke and ask if they have a gurney". Ami gave him a quick kiss and stood up.It was pretty clear his first instinct was to tell her to stay and go himself, it was the little bit of Alpha still in him trying to stay in charge. But then he sighed, clearly having realised that she was in much better shape than him right now.Luckily there was room for the helicopter to land only about 100 feets away and Ami ran to meet Luke as he exited, she was a little surprised when she saw him, he looked much younger and more fragile than she had expected from respect the guys seemed to have for him.
The doctors were ready to take Josh into surgery as soon as they landed in front of the hospital, and it was surely needed, doing the flight his breathing had gotten increasingly worse and his pulse had gotten weaker, they had really feared he wouldn't make it to the hospital. They moved him to a real gurney and rolled him off in a hurry, the rest of them walked slowly inside, a nurse came to receive them, she took one look at Connor’s arm and called a doctor. "I will come find you when I have been checked up". Amelia gave Connor a soft kiss before going with the nurse to get a check up. He looked after her like i
Amelia paced the room, it was so frustrating just having to wait, Luke was sitting in a chair, his feet drawn up and arm around his knees, looking very vulnerable and young. It had been a fight beyond belief to get Connor to go into surgery, he wanted to stay near Josh, awaiting news. In the end Amelia had had to put her foot down and he had reluctantly given in, accepting that he could do nothing to help Josh. He clearly hated not being able to actively do something. Actually she would have preferred to be the one under anaesthetic and not having to wake up when this nightmare was over.
"We have finally stopped the bleeding, he is still critical but stable, so now he just needs time and we have to hope his body can handle the pressure". The doctor looked at them.Amelia and Luke both gasped and Luke stammered. "He ... He is gonna make it ? He isn't dead ?""For now, we can’t make promises as his body has been under immense pressure, there can still arise complications, but he came through the worst and luckily he is strong and in great shape". The doctor answered.They both thanked him several times and he told them that they could just come to him with any questions and that the
6 years later "Are you okay baby ?" Connor looked at her with concern across the table. They were sitting in a nice restaurant having dinner. She smiled a calm smile and put a hand on her stomach. "There was just a little bandit in here who felt like using mommy's bladder as a soccer ball". "Oh he is gonna be such a little trouble maker that one". He looked at her lovingly, his eyes so warm and soft. Amelia sent him a lopsided smile. "Yes, I have an inkling that he is going to be very much like his daddy, our little wolf cub". "Do you even know how exquisitely beautiful you are when you are pregnant ?" He grabbed her hand, squeezing it softly. She pulled a face at him. "Oh yeah, It is not like I look like a beached whale at all". "Then you are the most beautiful beached whale ever. I can't seem to keep my eyes or hands off you". He said with a cheeky wink. She arched one eyebrow. "Uh honey, that actually isn't anything new. That has never really been your strong side". He ju
"It is time, Ami". Linda stuck her head in the door and she nodded, taking one last look in the mirror. She felt beautiful and hoped that Connor would feel the same. They had landed in Denmark late in the afternoon the day before and she had spent the night at her parents house with Linda. She walked to the waiting limo and Linda helped her inside. "Oh Ami you look stunning, Connor is so gonna cry when he sees you". "Well the way his hormones are acting up these days I actually fear a whole other reaction". Amelia said giggling and Linda broke down laughing at the thought. She still didn't know where they were going, but she did have an idea and she loved Connor even more for doing this. No Hollywood glamour and paps, just their family and friends in the beautiful Danish summer. And it was an exceptionally beautiful summer day in the beginning of August with the sun high in the sky and the fields heavy with crops as they drove through the landscape. She wasn't nervous. She kne
Two weeks later "Are you okay Connor ?" Joel asked him. He was waiting aboard the private jet with Joel, his family and friends. They waited for his sister and Amelia to arrive. He had managed to keep the wedding plans a secret for her and now it was the day before their wedding. He really hoped he had made the right choice and that she would be happy. He breathed in deeply, his right hand was trembling, but it always did that when he got stressed, one of the few little reminders he still had of his ordeal. "Well I am just nervous if this is the right way to do it, if she is going to be happy". "Don't worry Connor. I am sure that it is the perfect wedding and she is going to love it". Joel put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Then the limousine drove up next to the plane and Amelia got out with his sister. As always she looked stunning and soon she would finally be his wife, his forever. His Wolf howled with delight. He walked over to the stairs and greeted them. His sister
"Conner you have to let me leave the bed, If I am to plan a wedding". She looked at him. It was about a week later and he had practically kept her hostage in the house. Apparently it was impossible for him to keep his hands off her for more than 15 minutes unless he was sleeping. Not that she complained, so absolutely not, but they had a wedding to plan and only two weeks until the big day and that kind of demanded that she had just a bit of time without his hands and body all over her. He made a really pouting face. "Right now ? Can't it wait just for half an hour or so ?" "Conner you said that yesterday and how much did I get done ?" She asked him, arching one eyebrow. He rolled his eyes and smiled sweetly. "Well you almost made it out the front door one time". "Yes and then you had to kiss me goodbye right ? And threw me over your shoulder like a caveman carrying me back to bed". She crossed her arms and looked at him sternly. His fingers were caressing her thighs. "It wasn
"Ami ?" She heard Connor’s voice and turned towards it. She was standing in the garden in the warm evening, a glass of white wine in her hand. He came towards her from the house and she smiled at him. He was walking almost normally now and she was so proud of him, he had really worked hard. She thought he looked amazing. He had let his beard grow back out, but was keeping it short and trimmed and he was wearing a pair of very well fitting jeans and a green button down shirt, with the top buttons open. He gently took the glas from her and put it on the table. "Sweetie, I have something I want to ask you, but you have to promise to really think about it and answer me honestly okay ?" "Of course Connor, what is it ?" She looked at him wondering what this could be about. He grabbed both her hands and kneeled in front of her, her heart felt like it skipped a couple of beats. "Ami, this time I can do it right and you deserve that". "I love you above anything else and that I will alw
Josh had arrived in London without trouble, but to a big media circus. Everyone wanted to know where he had been and what had happened, and then he got spoiled by his mother, at least that was what his texts said. Connor had made a lot of progress both physically and psychologically himself, especially after accepting Amelia's help. His wolf was also a huge help and a week later he could leave the hospital to go home. They had feared coming home to a destroyed house, but he had called his father and incredibly enough his house had only suffered minor damage, which had already been fixed. When they arrived in LA the city was almost unrecognisable, of course it wasn't all back to normal, but it had been cleaned and people were rebuilding everywhere. They spend the first week returning to a somewhat normal life, talking about what they wanted to do now. Amelia wasn't longer sure she wanted to pursue a singing career. She needed some more time to think, and he had said he would supp
When Amelia woke up the next morning, she was pretty sure she still had feathers in her mouth as she had actually bitten a hole in his pillow trying not to scream. Her cheeks got heated by the memory, it had been so amazing. He really knew some tricks. Even with the situation being as it was and she knew that no matter what, she would never go wanting in that area, but for his sake she hoped he would be able to actually make love to her fully, sooner or later. She could hear that Connor was still asleep, his breathing deep and steady. He was pressed against her, one arm under her head and the other protecting around her waist, the hand resting on her stomach. One of his long legs was wrapped over her legs and she was pretty happy that she didn't have to pee, because she couldn't move at all, instead she snuggled closer to him. "Morning my love". His voice still heavy with sleep, when he nuzzled his nose against her neck, she turned her face to kiss him softly. They got up and dr
*Connor* "Baby, I was thinking if you would like to stay here with me tonight ?" Connor let a finger trail gently over her cheek, he really hoped that she wanted to stay with him. She looked at him lovingly, he loved that she was looking at him like that again. "Of course, I would love that". The bed was wide enough to fit them both, if they just stayed close together and none of them had a problem with that. After he had brushed his teeth, he stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed. Even though not all of his feeling senses had returned, he still wanted her as close as possible. Luckily he could now feel her kisses on his mouth and neck, he could feel her hands in his hair and he could feel her soft skin and enticing curves under his hands. She came out from the bathroom and he looked at her, she was wearing one of his t-shirts, having her hair loose down around her shoulders. In his eyes she was the most beautiful and sexy just like this. "Come here my beautiful". H
"Hi Josh, are you okay ?" Amelia said as she walked into his room. It was evening and Conner had gotten hold of a hairdresser to do something about his hair and beard, so she decided to check on Josh. He smiled at her. His jaw was rather badly bruised, but otherwise he looked like himself. "Hi Ami, what have you done with Conner ?" "He is getting a shave and a haircut, thank God". She said with a small grin and sat down in the other chair. “He was starting to look like a werewolf” Josh nodded. "Well that was about time, but how is he ? I talked to the doctor, apparently he has been working really hard since the day he disappeared". "Yes he has really made progress, his legs are almost functioning normally now. He needs to keep up his sessions with the psychologist for some time, but he is a lot better and he has gotten the feeling back in his face and partially on the arms and hands". She smiled happily. Josh smiled back at her and winced, it clearly hurt to smile. "I am so happ
