“No idea. All I know is that Vincent will blame me for not saving her. I have played it over and over in my mind. Should I have jumped in and saved her? Probably. Adaline would have still been pregnant and it would have been messy. Maybe it was better if she died.” Zach sighed. “I know I might not make it out of this alive, but at least Vincent will have his child.”

“What if I die?” I pushed back.

Derek looked over at me. “Then you die.”

I was just blown away. I thought I was seeing a little humanity in him, but then seeing how dead his eyes were…. I was wrong. “You could care less if I died.”

“I would prefer you to live but my focus is Christian. If I need to sacrafice you for that…. oh well. Tell me you wouldn’t willing lay your life down for him?” Derek looked at me like I was stupid. “I mean, you are giving yourself up for him right now.”

He was right, but it stung to hear it. “You don’t care they are following us, either.”

“I was hoping so. Best case senarior, everyone live

    “So much for a man of your word.” I said. This time, I inticipated the slap. Moving out of the way at the last second, my foot came up between his legs. There was an awkward crunch as his body lost balance and he twisted before falling to the ground. “Pathetic.” I whispered, before looking back at Zach. This time, I didn’t see the fist coming at my head. I expected to be woken up tied to a chair, not in a satin sheet king size bed. It almost made me feel gross to be lying in this bed. Part of me preferred it to be in a torture room. This was a different kind of torture that I didn’t care for. However, the sun was up and my only comfort was knowing that Ethan was just miles away.There was a knock on the bedroom door. On instinct, I jumped up and readied myself. After a moment, the doorknob turned slowly before it was pushed open. “Ms. Grace?” A much more professional voice than I expected caught my attention. A very thin man walked in. He looked like a pipe cleaner with eyes. “Who ar

    The rest of the meal was listening to the men argue. Every now and then, Marco would hush them up as he looked over at Adaline. Whatever game they were playing, they were winning. She was eating it up. It dawned on me that it might come down to me taking Christian by force if she didn’t want to come willingly. I had to focus on keeping my heart rate steady as everyone put their forks down. “Can I offer anyone anything else?” A waiter came out and looked around the table. After everyone shook their head no, he bowed and started clearing the table. “I think it’s time we head to my office for some business.” Marco stood up. “If you would excuse us, Adaline, I need to speak with Grace.” “Of course.” She looked at me and smiled. “Hopefully, we will be able to spend some time together. I would love to have another woman as a friend!” “I wou-” I started but got interrupted. “Unfortunatly, I have a full day of activities for Grace.” Marco said firmly.“Oh.” Adaline kept her smile on her

    Trigger warning!!! Sensitive content ahead. There wasn’t a point to hide rolling my eyes as I got up and took the note from him. He wanted to be able to press a button and fire guns, smoke bombs and other defensive things. There were multiple portable unitsits for their cars or other vehicles. Lastly, there were hot lasers that activated on movement. “Are you serious?” Looking at him, I wasn’t completely shocked, but I was. “We are wolves.” “We have many designations and this would allow us better security for every place. Plus, having these portable units would allow us to take over their system and use it against them.I had to double look, as I didn’t see that part. It was right between the lasers and the portable units. “You realize this would take me weeks if not months to do this?” Looking around, they didn’t even have what I needed. “Your computers are out of date, there aren’t the right programsgrams and your internet probably sucks.”“I’m sure you can figure it out.” Marco

    If I hadn’t panicked before, I was now. While his hands were on my breast, I raised mine above my head. Coming down hard on his elbows. His body slumped forward, making him off balance enough for me to head butt his nose. The satisfying crunch of his nose breaking was more satisfying than anything else. “Fucking bitch!” He groaned as his hands covered his nose. I knew I couldn’t stop now. Keeping it going, I pulled back and smashed my fist against his dick. His body jerked, but his knees loosened around my ribs. With the extra room, it was easy enough to roll him to the side. Zach instantly scrammbled to get his balance back. Swinging his leg out, he commencted with the back of my thigh. I didn’t have time to dwell on the massive bruise that was going to leave. A fist came flying at my face. I barely had time to dodge it, making his fist land on the cement floor. My balance wasn’t the best, but I pulled back my elbow as best as I could, connecting with his temple. It wasn’t hard e

    There was a man with his back toward me. He was as wide as he was short. From the muscle shirt, it wasn’t fat that caused him to be that wide. After waiting a beat, I pushed the door open enough for me to slip through it. Leaving the door open, I had to move quickly. Ignoring the pain as much as I could, I wobbled up behind him. What I didn’t expect was for him to turn around right as my hands lefted up to snap his neck. His eyes mirrored mine. Before his shock could sink in, my hand jabbed his throat. Reaching up, I snapped his neck. His body fell forward, hard against me. With a broken ankle, I wasn’t able to get out of the way. Both of us fell hard, with me on the botton. All the wind was pushed out of my chest from the sheer weight of this man. The radio in his pocket started talking. “Greg, get down to the fense. Tom thought he saw more of their men.” “I got a few more guns I can spare.” I assumed it was Greg that answered. I wasn’t exactly in the eyesight as we were enough in

    Tossing the walkie-talkie down, I looked over at Adaline. She was holding Christian in her arms. “We have to get out of this room.”She nodded with wide eyes. Christian had a pained look in his eyes. With how white Adaline’s knuckles were, I wasn’t surprised. Grabbing the door handle, we needed to find another room to run to. Voices echoed down the hall as a ray of cuss words came through the walkie-talkie. “Go to that room.” Adaline whispered in my ear. I hadn’t heard her come up behind me. My whole body jumped as I looked back at her. Without questioning her, we took off to that room. Thankfully, the door was unlocked. I barely got it opened for us to jump in and closed before footsteps reached the top of the stairs. It was a broom closet and a small one at that. Adaline and I were pressed up against each other. Our shaking bodies held our breaths as the men were now just outside the door. “What’s going on?” Ethan still kept the mind-link open. “Everyone else in starting to inva

    Grabbing Chrstian, I pulled him on my back and jumped. His little hands were choking me, but I didn’t care. As long as his hands were around my neck, I knew where he was. Hitting the ground, I had to push off, so when I rolled; I didn’t roll over Christian. Adaline wasn’t as lucky. She fell on her hands and knees. By the sound of it, I knew she broke her wrist before her cries of pain echoed in the trees.“We got to go!” I yelled as I ran up to her. Grabbing her arm, I forced her to her feet. Practically dragging her into the trees, I heard three men hit the ground.“FOUND THEM!” One yelled. “Ethan! We are outside and three men on our backs!” I send the mind-link, hoping they would be near. “Grace! We are stuck! Run!” Ethan’s voice had too much panic in it for my liking. A gun shot ran out, hitting the tree beside my head. “Next one will be in your leg.” His voice sent shivers down my spine. Coming to a stop, I held my head up high as I turned and looked at Marco. “I really did y

    Ethan, Vincent, and I just stared at her with our mouths hanging open. “Derek thought he betrayed Vincent. He did everything to keep Vincent out of danger and keep his kid safe and you were playing him.” My anger was rising as her words sank in. “You let Derek live with this weight on him for years.” Adaline shrugged. “Who is Derek to me?” She mirrored those words, knowing it was going to get under my skin. “Now, my child is an heir to not only the mafia family, but to a very powerful wolf pack and a blood relative to a very profitable security business.”“You never wanted me to create a program. All this was a lie to get the three of us here.” The truth came crashing down on me.Marco pointed his gun at me. “You are a very hard person to get ahold of. I told Zach to kidnap you by any means needed. He almost got you fucking killed. I’m happy you survived, but yes, however, Ethan was only part of it because he mated to you. I just wanted Vincent and you.” “Your dad was incredibly ann

    “CHRISTIAN!” I yelled back. He laughed, as that was our thing. Ethan set me down when we got to the top. Christian instantly wrapped his arms around my legs. “I missed you! You are getting so tall!” “Hey, sis.” Vincent walked up to me with his arm out. With my belly, I could only do a side hug these days.“How is my little nephew doing?” Vincent shook Ethan’s hand. “Very happy where he is at.” Vincent has been a little of a recluse this last year. Finding out the truth, being a full-time day and looking for a beta has kept him from coming around as often. Fortuantly, everyone has sympathized with him. They have really accepted him into our friend’s group. However, Roxie and Zoey are on a kick to find him a mate. Vincent game me a smile and scooped Christian up. “Let’s go inside or we will miss the party.” Ethan held the door for us before quickly resuming his spot next to me. The moment we walked in, my breath was caught in my throat. It was just like I imagined it to be. A larg

    1 year later“Grace! We got to go! Everyone is waiting for us!” Ethan was standing at our bedroom door. “I’m COMING!” I growled back. My swollen belly was ready to pop at any moment. Our little baby boy was loving kicking his mother in the lungs so much that he refused to leave. “I can only move so fast!” “You are the most beautiful pregnant person…ever.” Ethan smiled at me as I walked out of the bedroom. The stretchy black evening gown clung to my body, really making my stomach look much skinner than I felt. From the back, you would never know I was pregnant, which confused me. My belly was very round, like a ball. “This is all your fault.” Rolling my eyes at him, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. Ethan walked over and gave me his arm. “Thank you.” “Just think…” Ethan patted my hand. “…. you get to do this many more times!” Looking up and glaring at him, “I will kick you in the nuts and end all of that.” Ethan laughed at me. I doubt anything would hurt his m

    By the time we made it to the club, I had taken a few more shots, and the buzz was going. The club was bouncing. Music could be heard from outside. There was a line down the sidewalk and neon lights were flashing all around. This was the vibe that I was hoping for. “Ethan, I want to check on the computers. With everyone here, I haven’t actually got to see it yet and I want to check it.” I had to shout since the music was so loud and we weren’t even inside. “Grace, you are a little drunk….” Ethan raised his eyebrows at me. “Please? I’m not going to touch it. Just want to make sure it’s okay.” Grabbing his arm, I put on my most pathetic face I could.” “Fine…” Ethan rolled his eyes, but smirked. Wrapping his arm around me, he lead the way inside. “Callie, get everyone situated with drinks. We will catch up.” Ethan instantly lead me away to his office. It was more packed than I had ever seen it. Granted, I had only been here like three times, but this was packed. More than once, we g

    “What do you have that is the best with crab?” Theresa thought for a moment. “Try the crab trio. There are three different ways crab is cooked. I think one is the crab alfrado, a mushroom stuffed crab and just steamed crab legs with a pepper, garlic butter to dip it in.” “That sounds perfect.” “Great. Would you like your legs already de-shelled?” “Yes, please.” I said right as the guys came back. “I’ll have a crab cake, please.” Jolene smiled at Theresa. Theresa returned the smile. “For you two?” She looked at them. “Seafood fried roll.” Ethan sighed and downed his drink. “I got another round coming.” She said instantly. Ethan nodded and put his arm back around me. “What did Vincent say?” I asked Ethan in the mind-link, so I didn’t hear what Nox, Stella or Rif ordered. “Well, turns out they were all people that went missing states away. None were from the same state, but they were all scholars in hacking or something cyber. Vincent thinks Zach or Derek had placed them there

    Just as Ethan stood up, we arrived at the restaurant. I couldn’t help the sly smile that spread across my face before bitting my lower lip. “Let’s go,” Ethan said before clearing his throat. He gave me a little nudge to get off the bus. “Where are we?” I asked as I stepped off. Ethan was quick behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist. “This is one I have wanted to bring you to since I met you. It’s a very upscale seafood place. I know your favorite food is crab and I think they will have what you want here.” Ethan smiled down at me.“I love this place!” Callie squealed. “Their lobster is absolutely amazing!” “I’ve never been here!” Zoey grabbed Leo’s hand, and they started the train to the front doors. “We have a reservation. It’s under Boone.” Callie yelled from the back. By the time we walked in, the hostess walked off from the front. Zoey turned and smiled at us. I couldn’t help but look around. There was a massive sword fish mounted on the wall. The lighting was low, dark

    After the house burnt down, we had to transport everyone back to their respected packs. However, all of our friends had to come back one last time to our pack and gather their belongings. Since they were already here, we had one last night together. Ethan set up a romanic evening that ended with everyone at the club for a night of dancing. All the girls were in my bedroom getting dressed. Callie had on a champain squence colored dress. It volumized her breast with a completely open back and only strings tolding it up. Her ass was about to hang out, but she looks amazing.Zoey had on a similar colored dress, but the top was more of a bra. Her stomach was open to a skirt that sinched at the side. Roxie was wearing a scarlett red dress. With long sleeves, the top was just enough fabric to cover her tits. It was an open stomach, but one side went down to a skirt that went to her calf. The other side had a slit that went to her hip, completely exposing her very toned legs. Stella was wea

    Vincent turned and looked at us. “Let’s go home.” He whispered and walked past us. Christian was clinging to Vincent like his life depended on it. “Keep your eyes closed, bud.” He said as he walked out of the house. We all followed him. The battle was over and our warriors were collecting the dead. In the front was Derek’s body, Zach and Adaline. There was a rather large pile of men off to the side and a more respectible line of men that were ours. Leo was barking order with Damon, but Stella caught my attention. She was standing over Derek’s body with tears running down her face. Walking out of Ethan’s arms, I came up to Stella. She met my eyes before looking down again. “W-what happened?” I hesitated before speaking. I wasn’t sure how this was going to impact our friendship. Though it had already been rocky as it was. “Grace?” Rif walked up behind Stella. Putting a hand around his waist, he nodded. “Whatever it is, just tell us.” I knew I had everyone’s attention at this point.

    Grabbing a lock of hair, I twisted it in my fingers. “You know Vincent, she used Derek’s weakness and let him believe for three years that he betrayed you.” Vincent’s hand wrapped around his neck. He squeezed hard enough to make her hurt but not enough to stop the breathing. “What should I do? Kill her or put her in my dungeon to years’ worth of torture?” “I’m sorry! I can turn my life around and be the mother that Christian deserves. I only ever wanted to be a mate to you.” She batted her eyelashes at Vincent. His grip tightened around her neck. “Nothing I do will be enough. It won’t be enough to vengue Derek, my dad or the years of head games you put on our son that I’ll have to fix.” Tighter, he squeezed until his hand started shaking. “I regret ever sleeping with you, ever touching you, or even meeting you. The only good thing in my life is Christian. I’m going to take your body and make a mockery of it. You will be an example of what it means to cross me. I’m more powerful than
