Well, now we know how bad her delivery was. Poor Ayda.
AydaI’m not sure what the doctor told Dimitri, but when he returned to the room, his lips were pressed tightly together, and his hands were in fists. Well, at least until he took my hand and began leading me back to the packhouse, then he was gentle. He's always gentle with me.I know he thinks he
When dinner is done, and Dimitri has eaten everything that Cathal and I didn’t, Cathal begins to pout and I’m hoping he'll be allowed to stay so I won’t have to talk to Dimitri.“Alphas don’t pout, Cathal, especially to their Alpha fathers. You had all day with Ayda again, and you two can continue l
AydaDimitri doesn’t ask me any questions for a several minutes, instead tucking my head on his shoulder and continuing to rock me. When my tears stop, he presses his lips to my forehead.“I want to talk about your punishments. You seems very concerned about following the rules and what will happen
AydaDimitri does seem to enjoy making me feel good. It makes me feel a love for him that I never felt for Masuzyo. Just like he said, after our talk, we took a shower and he washed my hair, taking extra time to massage my scalp. By the time we went to bed, I was feeling much more relaxed than I had
I stroke his thighs, moving to his hard length and taking it in my hands. I watch as a bit of precum leaks out of the top of his cock and I lean over and lick it off.“Fuck, Ayda!” Dimitri says, his entire body jerking. He begins panting as he looks at me. “Baby, you can’t do that, or I’m going to c
DimitriAyda is a sweet, kind, and loving person. But confident Ayda is sexy as fuck. I couldn’t believe she told me to keep my eyes on hers or how fast she made me come. She had fallen asleep with a smile on her face, and I was thrilled when she didn’t have a nightmare. It was the first night witho
“Beta Sergi, I owe you an apology. I believe I was rude to you the other day when you tried to speak to me.”I watch Sergi glance at me, then smile at Ayda. “You’ve had a lot going on, Luna. I’m sure I overwhelmed you. There’s no apology necessary. How are you today?”“I’m very good, thank you, Beta
AydaI was so thankful when Dimitri asked the women to stop peppering me with questions. It’s already hard for me to be okay with talking to them. I’m so conditioned to not talk to anyone but the omegas and pups. But they were asking me lots of questions about myself and I'm not sure how much I shou
“I couldn’t agree more," I say.Dimitri reminds our pups to be respectful and to listen to Valentina and then we head back to our house.My mate takes my hand as we walk through the quiet streets of our pack. I begin to purr with happiness, all the happiness that I feel from my mate and from my life
AydaI watch as my son and his friend identify each other as mates in front of the pack, then watch my son claim his mate, the only woman he’s ever loved, with a passionate kiss.“How did you know?” I ask my mate. He called it years ago. At first, I thought he was teasing me but he just kept telling
“What I know is that my son will be the most handsome man in the room tonight…well, besides his father,” my mother says, turning to smile at him, making Zev purr in response.“Good thing I look just like dad,” I say rolling my eyes. I was not unhappy for my parents to move out of the packhouse. I’d
Eight Years LaterCathal“Do I really have to call you Alpha now?” my sister Dimitra asks me, walking into the family living room in our parents’ new house. When I took over as Alpha a few weeks ago, my father moved the rest of the family off of the Alpha floor. Our pack has grown ever since my moth
Ayda leans back against me as I begin to rub circles on her stomach. I frown, feeling her stomach cramping.“Ayda? Why does it feel like you’re in pain?”“They’re just cramps, Dimitri. I get them all the time,” she says, settling against me.“Are you sure?” I ask, feeling another one. I tune in more
DimitriFour months later.It took Masuzyo three days to die. It was impressive, mostly because I didn’t know a person could withstand so much pain. But he was a broad man, and the pack made sure that everyone who wanted their pound of flesh, got it. Literally. By the time he died, the smell of burn
“Do you want me to tell them to kill him? If you want him to die more quickly, I tell them to do it.”I think about it, think about every horrible thing he’s done to me, to Asena, to our son, to Cathal, to Dimitri, to Kelsey and Harper, and what he attempted to do to my daughter. “No, let the pack h
AydaI come awake slowly, feeling groggy, unsure what happened or where I am. My stomach hurts. Did Masuzyo take me roughly again? I’m not throbbing between my thighs so I don’t think that’s it. My face is throbbing, though. Did he hit me? Yes, he slapped me. Why did he slap me?I think hard, trying
“Ramon,” I hear my mother say softly, her gentle fingers moving through our fur. “NO!” she snarls, pushing Ramon behind her and pulling herself to her feet. As she does, Ramon pulls the shift, making me scream in pain as our broken leg and dislocated hip try to find the right spot to fit. I turn, vo
