*Tristan* Reece, Mark, and I have shifted and are running full speed toward Stephen’s castle. There is no way any of us are going to sit patiently on a military vehicle and wait to arrive by truck. No, we’re going in fast, and we’re going in now. We’re surrounded by our best warriors. Though some
“What about the babies?” asks Mark. “Are they okay? Did she go into labor?” “What?!” asked Stephen. “She’s pregnant?” “Um…” “She’s huge with child,” I say. “You can’t possibly miss that. She’s having four of them.” “Four of them!” says Stephen. “Wow!” A smile grows on his face, and I’m about to
*Barbara* They’re going to figure out that I lied to them, and then… well, I’m going to be in deep, deep doo-doo. Not to mention the fact that Kane is supposed to be storming this castle already, and he’s not. I need to convince Gene to do something that will throw the Alphas off, but when I knoc
*Kelly*‘Someone’s here,’ Eli says in the mind-link, and then things go quiet, which can’t be good. But all I can do is wait until he can talk to me again.I look around at my surroundings again, and I realize what a nice hotel this once was. The furniture is made from solid oak, and it looks like s
“Stone Creek pack,” she says, pronouncing the E in Creek like it is an I. “This is our territory, and Alpha Pete got pissed off that you kept driving through like we was nothing.”“Alpha Pete…” I say. “You say he’s not an Alpha, yet you call him one?”The girl nods and looks like tears are about to
*Mark*“Miss Rose sent a message.”The words of the messenger running from the car toward us hit me right in the heart. “Rose sent a message?” we all repeat in one way or another. Our mission to storm Alpha Stephen’s castle looking for her has momentarily been put on hold. Unless, of course, this me
*Adam* Well, shit. Lying to your Alpha is the number one thing that a good Beta should never do. Technically, Alpha Mark is not my Alpha, at least not right now, and I’m not technically his Beta, and I technically didn’t lie. I said I’d keep an eye on her, and I will. Just as soon as I find her.
‘She’s coming,’ Shelby tells me in the mind-link, and we move around the doorway and hide just as Barbara comes out of Gene’s room in a huff, which is generally her natural state. ‘What do we do?’ asks Shelby in the mind-link as Barbara walks down the hallway. ‘We follow her, and we tell the Alpha
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.
