Rejected by Them, Loved by Their Father 27- Ariella vs Her Patents
Ari’s POV“Why?” I ask as the doors close and I’m alone with my parents. “Why would you embarrass me like that?”Juliet- Told you.They turn and look at each other.“We didn’t mean to embarrass you,” Mom stumbles with her words. “You just have a plainer way about you than she did.”“This isn’t a Daphne du Maurier novel,” I shoot back. “No one in there, except you two and Dove, were even considering comparing me to Roseline. So, I ask again, why?”My parents shake their heads.“We didn’t mean to upset you,” Dad sighs. “We just don’t like seeing you hurt.”Juliet- 19 years too late, Pops.I laugh and shake my head.“This is why when I was rejected, I didn’t call home. You two would have defended me publicly sure, but in private you both think I deserved it. Don’t you?”Neither of them will meet my eye. I close my eyes while I compose my next statement.“When I have children, neither of you will be allowed near them. I will never allow my children to feel what I feel. I will never allow

Finch’s POV“Talk to me, Turk,” I say, coming into the command room.Ari moves to stand next to Romona, while surveying the room.“I have camera footage. You are not going to like it,” Turk shakes his head.“Is that Carter?” Ari asks as we watch Alicia exit the cells with Carter in tow.“Is she threatening him?” Romona asks.“I can’t tell, but watch this,” Turk moves to another angle and Anderson is approaching them.We watch in horror as Carter attacks Anderson and knocks him out. Carter then carries Anderson to a car.“Alicia has to have Carter under her control somehow,” Ari says, coming to hold my arm. “He wouldn’t attack Anderson like that for just anyone.”Duke- She has a point.“Maybe for his mate,” Turk says, zooming in on Carter’s neck.I see a bite mark. It’s not a tattoo mark like fated mates get, it's a wound from being bitten like chosen mates.“Check Alicia,” Ari commands, shaking her head.Turk checks several angles of the cameras.“There,” Romana points and Turk enlarg
Rejected by Them, Loved by Their Father 29-Alicia’s Trauma
Finch’s POV“I am well trained, father. I am the second ranked female warrior and sixth overall,” Ariella tells him, still laughing methodically.I watch his eye widen in shock.“Now, that she is marked and her wolf is no longer sad over the rejection, I bet she beats me,” Romana smiles. “Our Luna is a great warrior.”“I order you never to be trained,” Joshua growls.“Why would you order that?” I ask, thoroughly confused.Joshua looks away.“There was an agreement,” Tiffany begins to explain.“It's pointless now the agreement is off,” Joshua shakes his head at his mate.“They were going to mate me off to Alpha Jesup,” Ari says, shaking her head. “If I didn’t find a fated mate by the time I was 21.”My heart almost stops.“Does he know she is fated to me?” I hear my voice shake.“Finch?” Ari looks at me with narrowed eyes.“He was Roseline’s Alpha,” I stare at Joshua and Tiffany. “You know what he would have done to her.”I had filed an official complaint against him when I finally got

Finch’s POV“Then stand with us,” Caleb says. “If you love Ariella and I as much as you claim, then hold Alicia accountable.”“It’s not that simple. She is the way she is because of what they did to her,” Tiffany explains.“No, she is the way she is because of what you did to her when she got back,” Ari snaps. “You could have demanded better behavior from her but instead, you defended her bad behavior and fawned over her like a prize piece of jewelry. You saw me as a cheap expendable thing.”“No,” Tiffany shakes her head. “That is why we insisted you be 21 and given a chance to find your fated mate.”“You insisted of an Alpha, who literally beats women for fun! You wanted me mute and pliable to bend to his will,” Ariella lets a tear fall. “You abandoned me. Instead of showing Alicia how we could all be a family, you abandoned me so she would feel welcome.”“Finch,” Turk calls my attention, and everyone turns to look at him. “The trackers can’t find them.”“We are going to need royal h

Finch’s POVDuke- That is really scary.Me- If the investigation starts to show Alicia did it, I think the King will pull back his men and start a cover up.Duke- On this, I bet we can agree.Me- But I need to use it for support.“Would you be willing to say that officially as her former mate?” I ask, knowing what I am asking is a huge risk for him.“Will you still love me if I am stripped of my title?” Tristian asks Caroline.“I will be your mate no matter what,” Caroline rubs his arm.“And you three have a home here, always,” I tell him.“I will make any statement I need to,” Tristian holds Caroline in his arms.“We need to get this information out before Dad starts,” Ari tells us.“I’ll start calling Allies and tell them what we know and what we think,” I say.“I can make calls as well. As long as I have my title, I may as well use it,” Tristian adds.“I will secure the pack,” Turk tells us.Ari goes to help Caroline move into the packhouse, while Tristian and I work the phones.“T

Caleb’s POV“I don’t need to hear your side,” Dad says as we drive away from the packhouse.“Why?” I ask. “I am the crown prince. The one who has to clean up your messes. I should get a say.”“Tristian will be on the side to disown Alicia,” Mom tells us, wiping her tears. “Maybe we are to blame. Alicia has done so much damage. Ariella needs our support.”“Alicia is our daughter we cannot turn our backs on her,” Dad sneers.“So, you turn your backs on me and Ari?” I ask. “What is this hold Alicia has on you? You agreed to release Tristian if he found a fated mate. Why if you are so concerned with Alicia?”“I never thought he would, or if he did, he would choose to stay with Alicia,” Dad sighs. “But in that moment my word was my word. I wanted to take it back, I wish to the goddess I had. Alicia wouldn’t have gone crazy.”“So, you admit she is crazy!” I say. “See, you admit it.”Dad rolls his eyes. “To the public we could have sold that Tristian abandoned his mate and child. But now thi

Ari’s POV“Hey,” Finch smiles at me from the couch. He hasn’t come to bed in over a week.Juliet- He needs us. I lay down with him on the couch and we hold each other.“You need real sleep,” I tell him.“I can’t sleep until I know Anderson is okay,” he mumbles.Juliet- Something is off. Duke is not worried about the boys he is worried about Finch’s lack of sleep.“If there is a battle, you will be useless,” I tell him. “Come to bed. You will hold me, and my scent will help you sleep.”He seems to finally give in, and I pull him to the bed.It’s been a hard week.No sign of Alicia, Carter, or Anderson. Finley can feel his brothers are alive, but not where they are. Dad decided not to declare Alicia an enemy. Instead, he asked any Alpha who found her to detain her for the Royal Guard, so that she can have a private reprimand as befitting her status as a Princess. After all, if you don’t count the years of abuse she did to me, Alicia hasn’t been convicted of any crime.Dad did decide to

Finch’s POV“Finch,” Ari is shaking me a minute after I fall asleep.“Sweetheart, didn’t you tell me to sleep?” I groan and try to pull her into a cuddle.“They found Anderson, he is 6 hours from home, but they found him and are bringing him here,” she smiles at me.I kiss her and jump from the bed. I go toward Finley’s room, but Ari pulls me back.“He has company, leave him alone,” she tells me. “We are setting up a video call for us and Anderson.”She pulls me to the office.Duke- Can we be with our mate now?Me- Can we wait until the boys are home?Duke- I want my mate.I can feel him sulking. He has not been helpful this week at all. He has actually been fighting me as I coordinate the search. All he wants is to bed Ari. I have actually been sleeping on the sofa to keep him from taking over.“Hey, you okay?” Ari asks. “You seem far away.”“I’m having a small issue with Duke,” I tell her as she closes the office door.“I think Juliet understands,” Ari kisses my lips but pulls away

Five Months Later Juliet- Okay, so when do you want me to block the pain? Me- When I am pushing. Let me just deal with these contractions. Juliet- We are about to give birth to triplets, are you sure you want to feel labor? Me- I would rather feel labor than feel the pushing!

Carter’s POV “Hey, Fin, I’m gonna head back. I found what I was looking for,” I tell him and Everly as we walk back to his house from the meeting.“Oh, yeah?” Finley smiles at me.“Yeah,” I nod and get back in my car. I don’t call her. I don’t speed too much. Hell, I have no idea if she stayed and waited. Bolt- What was the giveaway.Me- I felt nothing. When I saw she was okay, I felt okay. I wasn’t relieved or anything.Bolt- I tried to explain it to you.Me- She really is the only one for me.Bolt- Finally saying the right thing.When I get back, the pack is happy to see me. But I only have eyes for one person.“Grandpa?” I ask him without saying too much.Grandpa actually smiles and nods up the stairs.I finally scent her in the nursery.“Hey,” I say, leaning against the doorway. Tina is rocking Romeo.“Hey. Did you see her?” Tina asks.I nod.“Are you….” Tina takes a deep breath. “Are you leaving us for her?”I smirk and shake my head. Tina inhales and starts crying.“

Ari’s POVDan is curled up in a ball, clearly needing medical attention but with the fire, it’s not coming anytime soon.I sit on the ground and watch him whimper in pain as the flames start to die down.Dan drags himself closer to the destroyed member and holds it like a teddy bear to his chest.I am actively trying not to laugh. He just lays there holding his chewed up dick and crying. Mourn the loss, asshole. You will never hurt another she-wolf again.Juliet- You are enjoying this a little too much.Me- Let’s talk about your inability to figure out guys are dangerous until we are in actual danger.Juliet- Hey, until Kale met Alicia, he was harmless. And until Dan went crazy, he was harmless.Me- What about Anderson? Can I trust him? Or is he just using me to put his line on the throne?Juliet- I can talk to Bear. Bear loves us and Bear will protect us from anything human Anderson could think to do to us. Not to mention, you just bit off a guy's dick. No male who hears this story i

Ari’s POV1 hour ago“I’m gonna run home,” I tell Everly. “I think I forgot my toothbrush.”“Okay, I’ll make sure the kids are in bed,” Everly smiles.I walk out of her front door, and by instinct, I lock it behind me.Juliet- Danger to the left.I’m about to go back inside, but can’t, so I swing and make contact with someone.Me- Everly, Attack!I hear the alarm go off as six hands grab me. I have to protect my pup. I comply and get in the van they are pushing me toward.“You will tell the gate guards to open up,” Dan’s voice cuts through the darkness.“Why?” I ask.“There is a bomb. If you don’t, I blow up your son, your ‘granddaughter’, and your friend,” he holds up a trigger.“The house is a bomb shelter. Everly would have moved everyone into the safe room by now. So, why would I comply any more than what I have?” I ask with a smirk.Dan cusses under his breath.“You think you are so smart? Wolfbane her,” Dan orders and someone comes at me with a needle.I kick the guy in the face

Anderson’s POV“Promise me, you and Monty will get to a saferoom if the pack is attacked,” I stand in front of Ari, holding her hands.“Me, Monty, and our pup will get to the saferoom,” Ari promises.“Our pup,” I can’t help but smile. I love being the fun uncle, but now I get to be a Father. No, a Dad. I can’t wait to be a Dad like I had.I dip her back and kiss her passionately.“I love you, Anderson,” she whispers as she stands back up.“I love you too. More than words can describe,” I tell her.“Okay, now you are going to the training camp first, catch them off guard and kill them,” Ari confirms my plan.“I will call you before we attack and right after,” I promise.“Be careful and make sure everyone gets some sleep on the way,” Ari tells us.“Stay safe,” I say, before getting on one of the 4 buses we are taking.I spend the drive making plans with Carter, Finley and Grandpa. He will hold down the packhouse while the Conrad Triplets handle business.After the plans are set, I get a

Finley’s POVBanjo- Carter is upstairs.I continue to talk to Everly as I walk up to Carter with Peter and Jack behind me.“I love you, Baby. See you in three days,” I tell her as I walk in the office behind Grandpa.“Rubbing it in?” Carter asks.“Sure, if that is the way you see it,” I tell him. “We are here. We have two teams scouting now, Recon 3 reports scents and they are tracking.”“Thanks for coming,” Carter says, sitting in his chair. “Anderson called me again. I didn’t answer.”“You should try answering,” I offer.Carter looks at Grandpa.“He is not wrong. Anderson and Ari have done nothing wrong. Tina and the Omegas dressing like strippers is wrong,” Grandpa raises his eyebrows.“What?” Carter asks, before pushing past us.We all stand in his office and wait.“How are you boys doing?” Grandpa asks Peter and Jack.“Good,” Jack smiles.“Any pups yet?” Grandpa jokes.“Not for lack of trying,” Peter jokes.Grandpa laughs a full belly laugh.“Keep trying, boys,” Grandpa encourage

Finley’s POVBanjo- Our mate is so beautiful.Me- Yeah, man, you chose good.Banjo- You too man.“Be careful and come home to me and your pups,” Everly tells me, pulling me in for one more kiss.“I have to go next door and say goodbye to Anderson, then we leave. I will be home in three days,” I promise her. “Please be safe yourself.”Everly laughs.“There is not a werewolf dumb enough to mess with me,” She winks, and we share one more kiss before I leave through our back door to Anderson’s backdoor.“Fucking gross, again?” I whine, seeing Anderson’s bare ass through the door. It’s moving this time.OH, Shit! There is moaning and I see Ari’s hands. I turn around quickly and just send a mindlink.Me- Hey, Bro, I’m gone. Enjoy.No reply. I didn’t expect one.“All good, Fin?” Peter asks as I sprint to the SUV.“Just go. I need to burn an image out of my eyes,” I shake all over, hoping to forget the thrusting and the nails down the back. Eww, gross, nope, not going to thinking about it.Ba

Ari’s POVWhen I wake up, Anderson is working at his desk with Monty in his lap.The phone rings and Anderson answers.“Conrad Packhouse, Alpha Anderson,” He answers.“Yes, Alpha Zelle, thank you for calling me back……Yes, he made the threats today…….I know my Luna and he were dating………That doesn’t justify the threat to the Young Alpha……...Of course I can keep him safe………. If you aren’t going to take this seriously, I will involve the council……. Need I remind you he is the nephew of the Werewolf King. I am sure one call to King Caleb with the proof I have, and everyone will be singing a different tune………I thought you would see reason……. I will be informing my Luna; I can’t keep this from her.”He sees I’m awake and winks. I sit up and watch him.“I believe that is a wise decision. Since it was Hunter who brought it to my attention, I don’t see why he should have to leave……That is all we want as well……Thank you, Alpha.”“Dan making threats against Monty?” I ask as I stretch.“Juliet goi

She doesn’t let me answer, instead she captures my lips to soften her moans as she clenches and releases on top of me.I thrust up a few times and I’m spent.She stays sitting on me while we kiss and tease each other.There is a knock on the door, so we break apart. I do up my pants while she opens the window, after adjusting her dress. She sits back in my lap before I call for whomever to come in.“Hello, big Bro,” Finley walks in and doubles over in laughter. “A human could smell what you two have been up to. Remember, these offices are not soundproofed. But the bathrooms are. Just FYI.”“Alpha and Luna had fun,” Everly teases too, coming in.“Is everyone coming in?” I ask, holding Ari tight.“Yeah, Turk and Romana were in the bathroom. They need a second,” Finley jokes and pulls Everly to his lap. She giggles and snuggles into him. “We had our bathroom break just before
