The door to Reece's room opened as Rhea was taking off her clothes in the shower.She had not expected him to come up so soon. It was because Sarah had delayed her. She had wanted to take a shower before but there was no time now. She stepped out of his bathroom naked.She looked around the room. Reece was nowhere to be seen. Had she misheard?"Reece?" She stepped further into the room before she detected the scent of someone behind her. Swirling to face the person, she saw Ivy, a vase in her hand."Nap time."The heavy metal vase came down before she could escape and she fell, a ringing sound in her ears as her vision blurred."Thank you so much for your help."Ivy's voice sounded like it came from underwater and although she wanted to speak up, her tongue didn't remember how to and she fell unconscious.Ivy found her clothes in the bathroom and dressed her up. The only one getting lucky tonight would be her. She took out the liquor she had brought in for this moment and sprinkled it
"You are leaving so soon?"Maybe it was just her imagination but Felicity sounded a little panicked.Was she so nervous about leading the pack alone or was there something she was missing?"I have faith in your capabilities and Goddess willing, I will send someone here to assist you."And check on what exactly you are up to that makes you get nervous so easily.In the car on her way back, all she could think about was Reece. He was probably burying himself in work to avoid missing her. He hadn't picked up her calls the night before and that very morning. But it wasn't a problem. She would simply surprise him.******She couldn't just tell Reece and Allen about Rhea. It would be as though she was having a jealousy fit, which she was but that was beside the point.She'd had to contact Damien to find out about her. The conversation had been stilted and she knew that Damien was coming to conclusions on his own, not that it mattered to get in that moment. She'd just needed to find somethin
When Sarah opened her eyes, she saw Allen.Was she dreaming? It didn't feel like a dream, real yet weak at the edges. The pain in her midsection felt very real. Her midsection.She touched her board flat belly."My baby?"Had she lost– no it was not possible. She would feel it. Something like that would have altered her entire state of being. There was no way her child would have passed on without her feeling it deep in her veins."The baby is fine. They had to do emergency surgery to save both of you. You should be able to hold him in twenty-four hours.""Him?" Her eyes teared up. "It's a boy?"Allen nodded and took her hand pressing a kiss on it."Yeah, and he is stunning just like you."Sarah smiled at him. She would have smiled anyways. She now had a child, a legacy that she would leave behind in this world. A son. She wasn't even sure if she would make a great mom but she would try. She would give it her all. Give any sacrifice needed to ensure that her child had a happy life.Bu
It had been decided that Rhea would be sent to the werewolf council after all her accomplices had been caught and dealt with.Ivy sipped her fruit juice. She would have preferred the bitch dead like the other execution that Breeana had ordered but she would take what she could get.No matter what Rhea said about her, no one would believe her. Even Sarah didn't know what she had done so her secret was safe.Rhea's dreams of leading her parents' pack might have been shattered but the shattering had given way for the rise of hers.Ivy stroked her belly and smiled.*******A Month LaterBreeana kissed the back of Reece's shoulders. He remained unresponsive.She was desperate so she slid her hand over the front of his briefs. He felt so thick, ready and– Reece pushed her hand away."Goddess, Bree, I need to sleep. I have a meeting early tomorrow."Of course, that was the reason.Maybe Breeana would have believed him before. But now she thought of the past month following Rhea's arrest. Sin
Reece's world stopped for a few heartbeats after what Ivy told him.Surely this was a joke, a mistake even that the one night he sought to forget to erase completely would bear fruits like this.No, the Goddess would not be so cruel. He thought of the conversation he'd had with Breeana shortly after she returned from the Silverwolf pack after the incident."I want us to begin trying for a child."He had been so startled that he stopped pulling on his clothes to look at her."What? I thought you wanted to wait."Breeana laughed and stood up from their bed, her nightgown offering tantalizing glimpses of her body."Calm down, Reece. I don't mean we should start right now." She slipped her hands around his shoulders and tipped her head back to meet his gaze, her blue eyes sparkling."I thought about it. Everything is stable enough for a child right now and I want nothing more than to carry your child. To have something that will signify our undying love, loyalty and respect for each other
Breeana got ready feeling nervous but also excited.She was so sure that this time Reece wouldn't be able to resist her. He wouldn't be tired either because Allen had told her that they had little work to do today hence why he could be home with Sarah so early.The nightwear was the most revealing she had ever worn. It was a bold seductive combination of red lace and silk that barely covered her, hinting at and clung to her figure and accentuating her curves.She had their room decorated with romantic themes and candles lighting up the place. It wasn't anything over the top but it was pretty nice if she could say so herself.She had some of the things Sarah had recommended laid out on the bed stand. Some not all. There were some things she didn't think she wouldn't be shy enough to use.Then finally after what seemed like forever, the door opened and Reece stepped in and the door shut behind him.He was handsome. He seemed to become even more so with each day they spent together. His
Reece was expecting the slap but he was still surprised at the force behind it. Breeana's beautiful blue eyes held so much pain, anger and heartbreak at his betrayal."Bree please–"He reached out to her but she ignored him and entered their bathroom slamming the door behind her.He sighed and turned to face Elder Elvis."A duel. Was there a need for so much theatrics?"Elder Elvis turned an unsightly red. "How dare you?! After what you did, do you think you have any leg to stand on? I want–""Lower your voice, Elvis. You want me to marry your daughter. That won't be possible. Breeana will always remain my mate but I will not be unfair to Ivy either." Reece almost shut his eyes as though that would shield him from the painful reality that was now his life."I will take her as my consort and her child shall bear my name."Elder Elvis glared at him still unspecified probably because of how he had spoken to him. He had probably expected Reece to apologise profusely. As though that bother
Breeana couldn't believe what she had overheard Callie talking about.Had she really taken Ivy's side? She couldn't believe how much it hurt her. Even if both of them hadn't been as close as usual she still didn't expect that from her.She didn't knock on their door anymore. She moved back and away.She really hadn't wanted to bring trouble to Sarah's door, her beautiful quiet godson and force Allen's hand to take a side but she no longer had an option. She needed to talk to someone. She felt like she was losing her mind.On her way to Sarah's house, she nearly turned back a couple of times to go back to Callie's house. Maybe she was mistaken. Callie couldn't have said that. Or maybe she did but she meant it in a different context. She would talk to Sarah. Sarah would be objective-minded about this and tell her if she was overthinking this.She was someone who would fully understand her, Breeana thought.It was at this time she keenly felt the absence of her sister, her brother and he
