“Well, we all knew that would happen. I mean, she will just return to her home after having the baby. I know her home is not an ideal or lovely place, but we can’t equate her going back home to a death sentence,” she says as she tries to pull her hand away from my grasp. “The king doesn’t want her
*Shelby* I don’t want to be angry at my husband. I know his duties as the king’s Beta, but I do wish he could be more assertive at times. Killing a defenseless woman would be a good place to draw the line of loyalty, right? I shake the thoughts out of my head. It does make sense that he would want
“Oh, okay. But perhaps I could ask Kelly to help us come up with a plan then,” I suggest, and again Adam shakes his head. I must admire how the Goddess made necks strong enough to hold one’s head in place. At the rate Adam keeps shaking his head, it could have fallen off if wasn’t screwed on so well
*Rose* The nervous habit of rubbing my belly just increases as the days pass by. I’m constantly thinking about my baby. Now that I’m about ten weeks along, I have another appointment today, and I’m nervous to hear what Dr. Pendergorder, or whatever her name is, has to say. When I made the appointm
Then, the nurse starts gasping, and I am terrified. “Is everything okay?” Shelby asks her. Dr. Pendergama clears her throat. “Uh, Rose, dear… have we talked about the possibility of multiple babies?” “Well…” I begin, not sure how to answer, “you’ve been lovely, but I’m afraid I’ll be leaving the
*Rose* I wash my hands by the sink and take a moment to look at my reflection in the mirror overhead. My focus is brought to my nose. Was my nose really going to grow bigger? Is it already bigger? I turn slightly to see if I can spot the difference. I can’t tell at all, and it’s making me frustrate
“How big do you think mine will grow, considering I’m also having quadruplets?” I ask. “I have no idea, but I’m sure you will look cute either way,” she reassures me. I wiggle my nose trying to gauge how big it’s gotten. “Did you also have sex with four men? How did you get four babies inside of
*Mark* There’s a hype of excitement in the air as the four of us set up the picnic area. We’re all going to be having lunch with Rose. I’ve missed her so much, and can’t wait to see her. I can tell that I’m not the only one who’s missed her. Each one of us has put our own special touch into today’
I look at Shelby. “Shelby… why?” She looks like she’s about to burst, and she finally spits it out. “Because I’m pregnant!” My eyes go wide, and I want to grab her and jump up and down, but I don’t want to squish Reeva, so I do a milder equivalent of that, which involves one arm and bouncing more
Rose It feels strange going back to Castle Dark Forest, and it’s going to feel even weirder being there again. It’s been so long since I first arrived there for the stupid contest… well, I guess without that contest, I would have never met my Alphas, so I suppose I won’t call it stupid anymore. I
Eli seems only half-convinced, and once Kelly and this guy are finally separated, he clears his throat.“I’m going to need the name of the guy who just sucked face with my sister,” he says firmly. “And I need to know where you’re from, and whether you have a criminal record, and—”Kelly slaps Eli’s
RoseI can’t believe how much the Goddess has blessed me. I remember all the times I was hunched over on the floor of the sewage plant trying to force myself to breathe through my mouth to avoid the stench. It didn’t work very well. I also remember all those lonely nights in my high school years whe
After a moment, I remember and quickly free him from the rest of his clothes. He pulls my nightgown over my head and tosses it exactly where he thought it should go and then lays me on the bed, All I’m wearing now is a tiny red thong. He stands at the foot of the bed and takes me in. “Damn,” he mur
Mark It’s my turn to spend the night with Rose, and I can hardly wait. It is a little odd being in this position, sharing my mate with four other men, but now that we have our situation settled, I realize I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m carrying flowers as I go into her room. I think she’s p
“No, little flower,” says Tristan.The smile on his face and twinkle in his eye made my heart skip a beat.“He’s not allowed anywhere near our precious little pups,” he clarifies. “Just the diapers. Dirty diapers, all day long… that’s his new job! We’ll watch him every second.”“But you don’t have t
RoseI love spending time out in the garden, and now I’m doing it with four little bundles of joy. I’ve heard that expression so many times, but now that I’m a mother, I really understand just how much joy those little bundles can bring. And with all the fear of losing them that I’ve experienced ove
“No.” Alpha Alice crosses her hands across her chest. “I’m staying out of this. If these Alphas want to take you, so be it. I know how the contest was supposed to go, and if one of them had a male baby, then that will be the next Alpha King. I’m not getting on their bad side.”“Appalling!” I shout.
