Quinn POVI can’t believe these guys. First, they made me spend the whole morning reviewing the information the Council sent about their finding in Avery’s case. Which OK I will admit needed our attention. The crimes that she is charged with do involve our mates. But did we have to do it today? I had one of the shittiest night's sleep that I have had in a long time. All I wanted to do this morning was find Meg and hold her, but nooooo, that’s not what I was allowed to do. Yes, I know I sound like a whiney brat but I can’t help it. Besides it is only in my head. I can be as whiny and childish as I want in there. And it’s not like Ash isn’t being just as whiney, if not worse. I thought that I was finally going to be free to go once we had reviewed everything only to find out that we were scheduled to go and join our fathers out at the building site of the hotel/resort that we were building in partnership with Silver River. So now we are standing out here waitin
Quinn POVI’m standing in the middle of my room muttering to myself over and over again. It reminds her of me. What the hell? There are so many places around here that hold meaning for us. I started pacing while I talked out loud to myself listing off places that were a little more special than others. The gym, that is where Ash started pushing that she was our mate and we almost had our first kiss, but we didn’t spend a lot of time there as kids. I walked over and looked at the back of the bedroom door. Since that is where we did share our first kiss and we did spend time in here off and on over the years, but there was nothing. I ran out of the apartment and down the hall to the stairwell where I gave her that first hickey claiming her as mine. I scanned every inch of the place and even spent ten minutes looking out the window hoping to see something, but again nothing. I hear snickering from behind me. “She knows you so well it’s scary. You know that right
Meg POVI’m starting to think that maybe I should have just told Quinn to meet me in our room last night and been done with this. Now I have been sitting here for about an hour waiting for Quinn to show up. The longer I wait the more unsure I’m getting. What if he can’t figure it out? What if he gets frustrated thinking that I’m playing games? What if he doesn't think I'm worth the time? When I first thought of this it sounded like such a good idea. Way of showing him some of the good things and the one time that we need to get over. I didn’t think about it at first but when I was writing the last note I realized that by telling him to take the new path that the twins had made from the cabin to the beach. I was telling Quinn it was time for us to start a new path. Leave the past in the past and move on.My whole body tensed with nervousness when I saw him walk out of the tree line at the back of the cabin. I had chosen this room because I had the view of where the path exited the tree
Quinn POVIt was taking all the control that I had to go slow and it was even harder when she was moaning out her pleads. I meant what I said when I told her that I didn’t want to hurt anymore than I know is already going to happen. So since Meg told me that all the medical tests say she is still a virgin I have been researching ways to avoid that or at least lessen it and I think that I have found a way. But if she keeps pleading all breathy like that, I may just give in to the wild urges running through me. I wasn’t kidding when I said that her scent is the only thing besides her touch I need to complete my life. But her taste is like going to heaven. As I swirled my tongue around her clit I slid two fingers into her tight warm and wet core. I don’t hold back I want to watch her fall apart before giving myself the pleasure of replacing my fingers with my cock. As I lapped up my fill of Meg’s sweet nectar I heard her breathing increase, her heart rate speed up and feel her wet channel
Quinn POVI thought things couldn’t get any better after the two of us moved in together, but I was wrong. The last three days I have spent waking up with Meg wrapped in my arms with the mate bond in full force had been nothing like I imagined it would be. I really don’t know how my Dad does it. He gets up every morning and leaves my Mom. He has to have more willpower than I do. But it does explain why he has that pullout couch in his office a little bit more now. To wake up and feel her emotions through the bond and to know that she is happy before she even opens her eyes is…wow. I still keep thinking that I’m dreaming. With everything that we have had happened to us over the years, it is hard to believe that this is actually real. I don’t know what our future holds for us but so far it has been better than I could have ever imagined. My love for Meg has only increased over the last few days. I didn’t even think that that was possible. Yesterday when we let Ash and Willow spend time
Meg POVI sat in the middle of the back seat with Quinn and Heather as we headed to the meeting with the Council. We found out yesterday that the Council has also asked the group from Silver River to attend this meeting. I don’t know what they have to do with the sentencing but I guess we’ll see when the time comes. We had decided that we would take two vehicles. Quinn, myself, Heather, Reed and Lucas in one with our parents in the other. The whole group of us had spent the last couple of days gathering the information the Council had requested. When we first started going over the list it seemed like there was a lot but most of the requested stuff was repeated information. We had been hoping to only be gone for a day but with the meeting being scheduled for the afternoon we are going to be spending the night and driving back in the morning.As we pulled up to the Council building I could feel the tensions in the car increase. I know that Heather is just as happy to be here as I am. C
Quinn POVI couldn’t believe it. I was going to be a Dad. I had made a little life with Meg. I know that it is still early in the pregnancy and things could go wrong, but Wow!!! I wanted to tell someone but I didn’t know who. Ash was going nuts in my head. He was so happy. I was a little pissed that Willow had tried to hide it, but then again normally I don’t think Ash should have been able to sense it yet and that is what had me searching out my father or maybe Mom I’m not sure which one yet. I knocked on my parents’ door hoping like hell I wasn’t interrupting something. Now that I was mated to Meg I’m starting to have an understanding of how frustrated my parents were every time April or I showed up unexpectedly. The door opened almost instantly to reveal my Mom towel-drying her hair. Well if she had already showered I going to guess that they are done for now and are starting to get ready for the meeting. “Quinn, Honey is there something the matter?” Mom asked looking out into the h
Possible Trauma TriggersMeg POVI was trying to keep my nerves under control as we sat and waited for the Council to be ready for us. They had explained that they would be conducting interviews with each of us. Either individually or in small groups then we were all going to be taken into one room where Avery would be brought in and asked questions. At the moment Heather and the twins were in the office, and only Quinn and I left to go in for the smaller interviews. I felt Quinn’s hand land on my knee which is when I realized that I had been shaking it. “Hey calm down. I am right here with you. I am not leaving you. We are going to do this together.” Quinn said pulling me in close to his side.The office door opened and Heather and the twins walked out. Heather had tear stains on her cheeks and Reed and Lucas looked downright pissed. “Miss. MacCrimmon could you join us?” A woman about my Mom’s age asked as she stepped back holding the door open for me. I stood and Quinn got up to fol
Epilogue 4 Molly and LeviLevi POVI grab the chair we placed up here for Molly as she makes her way across the stage with the other women. I know she will try to stand for most of the ceremony, but that doesn’t mean she can’t sit until it starts. I just have to convince her of that. “Hey, Firecracker how about you sit until everyone else is ready?” She waddles towards me and it is so damn cute I can’t help but smile.“Are you laughing at me?” She asks with a pissed-off stern look that just makes her look even better.“NO, I would never laugh at you while you are uncomfortable. I was just smiling at my beautiful glowing mate because I’m so happy that she is mine.” I say hoping that little truth calms her. I don’t dare tell her that I find her waddle cute. Molly must be more uncomfortable than I thought because she doesn’t reject the idea of sitting. Once she is seated I crouch in front of her and start rubbing her ankles. “Have I told you, you look beautiful today well every day?” I sa
Epilogue 3 April and KyleApril POVI look towards the stage when I hear Mom laugh. By the look on Dad’s face, I’m going to guess that she is teasing him about something. They both gaze towards Kyle and me, and I think I know what she is teasing him about. Dad only gets that look on his face when someone mentions the fact that I had to have sex to get pregnant. Even after all these years he still will not accept that is how his Grandchildren came to be. He accepts and respects Kyle as the Father but not how he became the Father. I think at first it was just a shock for him to believe that his little girl had grown up. Now I think it is more of just a game to give Mom something to tease him about. “Why is your Father giving me a death stare? I thought we were past that in our relationship.”“I think Mom was teasing him again about how our children came to be,” I say leaning over and putting my head on his shoulder.“I really hated it when she does that for two reasons. One, I get looks
Epilogue 2 Meg and QuinnQuinn POVI heard Uncle Shane holler at the kids, saying it was time. Yeah, it was time. I looked down at my beautiful Angel that I had my arm wrapped around. I can’t believe that she is mine. If someone had told me when I was younger that she was going to be my mate I would have called them crazy. Oh wait, I did do that and Mom doesn’t waste any chance that she gets to rub it in that she was right. But I’ll take all of Mom’s teasing if it means that I get to spend the rest of my life with Meg. I know I don’t deserve her. I am just so happy that even after all the things that happened she was willing to give me a chance. Things could have turned out so different if we hadn’t had the love and support of our families. I glance over at Levi as he helps his very pregnant mate sit down. If he hadn’t been there to beat some sense into me when Meg was kidnapped I don’t want to think about what shape I would have been in if and when we found her. I turn my attention b
Five years laterEpilogue 1 Heather, Reed and LucasReed POVI nod to Levi as he steps up beside me. I looked to my left where Lucas was standing with Quinn beside him. Today we were being sworn in as the new leaders of the pack. Yeah, we are a little older than most when they take over but with all the shit that we went through our parents wanted to give up some extra time. That doesn’t mean that we spent the time goofy off. We worked alongside our parents these last five years learning the ropes which had been the plan all along. It just got delayed by other shit. We worked with Keegan from Silver River to get the resort up and running. Both packs are now making a pretty penny off of it. So we are now building one up near the Four Corners pack with Kyle and April.The four of us are standing waiting for our mates to join us. I watch as a mass of children go running across the schoolyard. We had to set up the stage for the ceremony here since it was the largest area that had easy acce
Levi POVAs Molly and I neared the packhouse after our two days of hiding out. She stopped. “What is it?” I asked tuning her to face me.“What if they don’t approve of this?” She said pointing to the two of us.“Why wouldn’t they approve?” I was getting worried that she was regretting letting me mark her. I cupped her cheeks and tilted her head. “You used to be so confident. I am so sorry that I ever made you feel like you weren’t good enough for me. Your abilities and personality were never any part of that reason.” I looked her in the eyes I wanted her to see that what I was about to tell her was the truth that I was finally willing to admit to myself. “It was me not thinking that I was good enough for you. I felt overwhelmed that I was possibly going to be responsible for your protection and happiness of you. And all I could see every time I looked at you was that scared little girl that I found in a log. That is why I made you train th
Levi POVWhat the hell? I made her think that for some reason it mattered. That she needed to be a virgin. How could I have been such an ass? Why did the Goddess believe that I was worthy of having this treasure as mine? I must have taken too long chastising myself and Molly took my silence the wrong way because she tried to get off my lap again. I didn’t loosen my hold in fact I tightened it. Molly had lowered her head again so I cupped her cheek and tilted her face back to mine. “Molly, can I tell you a secret?” She didn’t say anything. She just nodded. I wiped the tears from her cheek with my thumb. “I’m not either.”I took a few seconds for what I had said to sink in but the smile that slowly spread across her face was worth that little bit of waiting. “I have heard that rumour about you. Some people have even called you a man-whore.”“Yeah, I know. There used to be this smart-mouth little brat that would go around calling me all kinds of na
Levi POVAs I broke through the trees, the scent of cinnamon mixed with fresh, crisp apples, and the last person I thought to find was sitting on a log. I didn’t know if this was another dream or some curl joke, but every fibre in my body was charged. “Mate, Mate, Mate. I told you she was ours.” Jasper started going on about in my head.I step forward cautiously because if she is real I don’t want to do anything that will make her leave me. I have spent the last two years regretting our last conversation. As I got closer I saw her bottom lip start to quiver. Tears began to roll down her cheeks. Every bone in my body was telling me to pull her into my arms but what if I’m the reason for the tears? The last thing she is going to want is for me to hold her. I stopped too scared that if I got any closer she would bolt. “Molly, can I come over there?” She kept her eyes locked on mine and nodded yes. I started to sit on the ground giving her the high ground so that she didn’t think I was tr
Molly POVThe dream started with Ben and I in his room at the packhouse in Four Corners. We were sitting on his bed making out. This dream was feeling more like a flashback from the other night. Ben rolled us so that he was braced above me. “You are beautiful Molly. You have no idea of what I think about doing with and to you.” I could feel his hands under my shirt groping at my breasts and struggling to undo my bra. It was nothing new. Over the last two years, we have done this many times but I have never let him go all the way. We have still brought pleasure to each other but in a medical sense, I’m still a virgin. It just never felt like the time was right. This time felt different. Still not right but different. The next thing I knew my shirt was off my pants were gone and Ben was naked above me. He was kissing down my neck and then there was a bit of a burning feeling as my centre was stretched. “Ben stop please it hurts.” He pulled away from my neck but he didn’t pull out of me.
Levi POV“Come on we need to be there soon,” Cole said as he dragged me across the park to one of the paths.“Cole why are we going this way the training centre is the other way. I thought you said you didn’t want to be late.”“I won’t be late and now neither will you.” He said proudly as he stopped at the point that the path led into the woods. “You can go the rest of the way yourself. You know where to go.” He turned and started heading back towards the packhouse then stopped and turned back. “It is OK if you miss our birthday. This is important. I will tell my Dads you will be back in a couple of days. Now go make my mate.” And off he went.Most of the time as an adult most people wouldn’t listen to a five-year-old when they told them to go into the woods with no better explanation than to just go. But this kid is Heather’s and if there is one thing about Heather and her kids they usually have a good reason for telling you to do weird things you don’t fully understand. Cole was so s
