I wasn’t surprised when William showed up at school because I knew that Delta Everett was supposed to be head of Gemma’s security detail. I thought when I asked to take her to school Ev would follow us, or meet us at school. When that didn’t happened I knew it was only a matter of time before a seething rage filled Alpha Keen graced us with his presence, and I wasn’t wrong.
I stare at my little sunshine when she comes out of the vice principal’s office, and she looks even more broken then when she went in. Why does he have to do that to her every single time, and doesn’t he know how stressed out she was already about today? I’m trying to hold back my anger so I don’t make her mood worse but when I notice the tears threatening to fall from her eyes my self-control is further tested. I flash a smile at her trying to cheer her up “I got our schedules my mom thought it best for us to have all the same classes just

Westley POV The cafeteria is buzzing with gossip as we enter together, and before we even get our food Madison blocks our path. “I still don’t understand how you’re supposed to be Alpha Keen’s mate? If you’re really his fated mate why you are all over his brother, and what the hell was with you guys nuzzling each other in front of our entire class? ….. Unless aww did our Alpha not like our new Luna.” She mocks Gemma with a fake pout, and once again Williams’s choices are fucking with my little sunshine’s happiness. “Shut the fuck up Madison your just jealous because she can get everything you can’t.” As I’m scolding Madison her jaw drops but as she makes a revelation in her head a devilish smirk spreads across her face. Gemma moves closer to me, and I hug her tight to my side knowing she has no idea what’s to come. Madison dead stares at Gemma like she’s about to kill her, “Oh really how is that possible sense I’ve already fucked her ma

Gemma POV I wake up in Westley’s arms in the pack house living room I look up at him and when I inhale deeply, I notice he has a more distinct scent that I’ve never noticed before. It’s a mixture of the forest during a storm and eucalyptus the scent is so calming I can’t get enough of it. When he moves his hand up and down my arm electricity so intense is left behind everywhere our skin meets. When I snuggle back into his chest and take another deep breath of his scent, he stares down out me smiling while the conversation continues around us. I scan the room noticing Keen is sitting right next to us looking empty or shatter, but when I try to pick up his scent it’s so faint, I can barely notice it which makes me confused. I can’t help but gaze at him checking to see if I can still feel his emotions, and I notice that although I can still feel his emotions it’s like a whisper not intense like it’s supposed to be. I look back up at Westley

Alpha Keen POV I know i've totaly fucked up, but i'm not going to sit back like everyone else and allow her to think Westley is her savior. “I’m sorry I can’t allow this to continue. I’m not going to be painted as the only monster in this room. Westley do you want me to explain or will you?” I pause to wait for an answer, but all he does is glare at me growling. Gemma is looking between us puzzeled, so i figure if West wants to stay tight lipped it's up to me. “Okay West, I will take your silence as you want me to do the honors. Gemma, you think I manipulated you huh, and I can see why you would feel that way. I take full responsibility for using our bond and your naivety against you, it makes me sick just thinking how i abused my most precious gift." West rolls his eyes sighs loadly and shifts on the couch while mumbling something under his breath, and I just glare at him. "Did you want to do this Westley? .. No your going to keep being the co

Alpha Keen POV My office was full as the council meeting started precisely at 8:00am, and all eyes were on Westley and Myself. It felt weird having my father sitting in my chair, his Beta Marvin my mates father flanking his right, his Delta Alexander my Beta Andrews father on his left, and the counsel made up of five elders is sitting in a half circle in front of the desk my father is sitting at. Westley and I are instructed to sit in the visitors’ chairs making us smack dab in the middle of this shit show. “Lets start the meeting by reading what’s on the agenda. Beta Marvin do the honors.” My father steps back in to being the residing Alpha like he never left, and his emotionless stern expression is making me uneasy. “First on the agenda, Alpha Keen and Westley’s infractions against our future Luna Gemma Rose Killian. Second, the position of Alpha for the Midnight Crescent Pack.” When he says this, it’s taking all my control to

Alpha Keen POV I wake up spread out on my office rug, with bloody hands, and cuts all over my arms. I can still feel the rage pulsating behind my eyes just thinking about the Coven King claiming my mate as his own. I mind link my father to let him know I’m awake and heading to my room to nap until I need to train Gemma this afternoon. He reminds me that I need to inform her of the counsel’s punishment, and he explains how it’s my responsibility to make sure she doesn’t refuse to train. Now I understand how this is a punishment trying to talk Gemma into letting me train her while she doesn’t want to be anywhere near me is not going to be easy. Oh yeah and due to her rejection, our mate bond is so weak I can’t count on that to help me. As I stand outside her door thinking about how I’m going to play this I get the strong scent of blood. My heart begins to race as I start pounding on the door, and the longer I don’t get an answer the more p

Gemma POV I awake when the warmth of the sun hits my face, but when I try to stretch out, I notice something heavy is wrapped around my waist. I take a deep breath drawing in the overwhelming scent of hot chocolate and leather, and then I panic why is Keen in my bed? Then I try to remember how I even got to the bed, and I wince as the pain coming from my head and arm take me by surprise. I glance down survey my situation, I have an IV in my arm, and silky pajamas on that I’ve never seen before. Then I feel the magnetic pull of a mate bond that’s so strong that it took my breath away, and as I look over my shoulder to see who it’s pulling me into, I gasp. It’s none other than the big bad Alpha Keen tightly holding my body flush against his, and now I’m wondering if I’m still dreaming. My wolf ripped our mate bond to shreds to give it away to someone that tricked me into thinking he was trust worth and my safe place, but that was all a lie

Gemma POV I don’t know how to feel when Keen tells me I “will go into heat in the next three days.” I'm trying to think about what that could possibly mean, and the only thing I can think of is seriously perverted. He can’t possibly mean that though, and I’m not going to freak out until I have tangible information. Information that he will provide for me, or that promise about not freaking out is going out the window. “What does that mean? I’m sorry I’ve never heard of anyone going into heat can you explain?” I ask him, because I’m hoping it isn’t what I had thought. “Maybe we should call my mother she might be able to answer your questions better.” Nope I think that what I was thinking is exactly what he’s talking about, shit. “No, I’m already embarrassed that my parents kept me ignorant to our people’s ways of life. So even though this seems super uncomfortable to you I’m going to need you to explain it to me.” I try to plead with him by givi
Soul Mates or Death Chapter 28
Alpha Keen POV I’m trying not to convey how worried I am about her, but the more I try not to panic the more distressed is showen on my face. She breaks me out of my own thoughts when she whispers, “don’t feel bad okay, if you help me, I’m sure we can figure this out right?” How did the Moon Goddess think that I was good enough for this woman? She’s all the things I’m not pure, kindhearted, selfless to a fault, and completely naïve. At least her parents did one thing right they didn't let the harshness in the world dull her light with, but I sure the fuck did and i don't know if I will ever forgive myself. I was in awe again, I've messed with her view of the world by putting her through some pretty messed up shit, and she is still trying to comfort me. “How do you do that Gemma?” She only stares at me perplexed by my question. “Do what?” She doesn’t even realize how kindhearted she is always being it's instinctual for her, or maybe

As evening approaches my birthday party guest begin to arrive as were getting the three little ones ready. William helps West wrangle Wyatt and Walker into a bath, getting their mini versions dressed in matching navy-blue button up shirts and dress pants. The twins are literally little mini versions of their father and uncle which I’m not going to lie pissed me off at first. I may have carried the two tiny lives, but besides their blue eyes having a gray tint it seemed as though the Keen genes overruled all of mine. The men put the two boys in the living room with tablets while they got ready.Skylar and I get ready together as always sighting the need for girl time. As I shimmy my baby bump into my rose gold mermaid dress I can’t help but stare at my beautiful daughter as she twirls around my dressing room in her matching rose gold princess dress.

7 years later“Mommy, Mommy” My Daughters angelic sing song voice floats through the air. “Wyatt and Walker won’t let me climb up the tree house ladder.” My daughter Skyler cries softly to me about her big brothers as she runs through the back doors of the pack house. Her Auburn hair and gray-blue tear-filled eyes come into view, but before I can even answer her a loud booming voice is heard as heavy footsteps make their way down the marble staircase.“Where is uncle’s little princess? … Why is my little blue Sky so gray, who does uncle need to punish?” William says mockingly stern as she cries slightly louder as he makes his way to her. I shake my head watching him scoop up my youngest as she snuggles into his large broad chest trying to sooth herself. He makes his way towards the living room where I’m reading, and even though he has made it clear that he never wishes to have chil

Gemma POV I don’t know how long we collapse into each other’s embrace forgetting about the world around us until a loud knock sounds. We both jump looking at the other as I let out a giggle realizing that the three people in the sitting area probably heard more than they should have. I can’t help but feel nervous at what they think until West pulls me back into him giving me a soft tender kiss that comforts me so entirely that I almost forget that someone just knocked on the door. Getting lost in his kiss is far to easy, but when another knock is heard we realize that we can no longer ignore it. “We better get back out there even though I’d rather stay in bed pleasuring you all day.” West says to me before kissing the tip of my nose, then both of my cheeks, before placing a final hard kiss to my forehead. Which makes me coyly smile at him before moving slowly off of his lap to get dressed again. I can’t help but admire his muscular body

Alpha Westley POVWhen my father started charging towards my mother and William it was as if time slowed, and all I could think about was shielding Gemma from whatever horror was about to take place. As my father told his story she started to pull away from my chest to hear what he was saying even though she was still shaking like a leaf, but as he moved she wrapped her entire body around me so when I stood to turn us around after my mother shifted she just kept clinging to my chest wrapping her legs around my waist I began to hum to jump start my powers so I could better comfort her. As she began to take deep breaths of my scent in I noticed that she stopped shaking as much, and that when I let out the breath I didn’t even know I was holding sense my mother shifted. I knew that after everything we had went through this was only going to make her shrink back into her shell again especially if she saw my father’s bloodied dead body.“Will

Alpha William POVWhy does he keep calling us her boys?“See boys before you were born I had an identical twin brother named Thomson. He was born a couple minutes before me, but there’s never been twin Alpha’s in our pack so they weren’t sure which of us would become Alpha. Then when your mother was born a year they didn’t know which one of us was the future Luna’s mate.” As he keeps talking our mother begins to quietly sob as she drops to the floor obviously distraught by what he’s about to share. I look to West confused trying to see if he has any ideas of what the hell our father is saying, he doesn’t seem to but like me he doesn’t seem as fazed by what my father is sharing. I’m frozen in fear wondering what’s were about to learn oblivious to everything else that’s happening in my office until West mind-links me.‘Go to Mom Will, Gemma is still shaking I can&rsqu

Alpha William POVAs I slowly walked out of her suite it hurt like hell I didn’t understand why, because in my mind I had already came to the conclusion that I needed to let her go. It was time for me to focus on weeding out the traitors within our pack, and I knew that tomorrow was going to be a day of reckoning especially with West and I finally standing united. My father may have gotten his way in having Gemma and West together, but after tonight I know that West isn’t going to be loyal to anyone but his Luna.Everett had ratted out all three council members including my father who had apparently been the mastermind that had implemented his sick plans. His only demand for giving us all the information he had was to promise that we would send him to the same pack where his sister is so he can at least be by family while he serves his punishment. I had talked to Andy’s sister the Luna of the pack where Maddy was before we

Alpha William POVEver sense we rescued Gemma and Westley my life had become a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. One minute I’m ready to forgive Gemma for a betrayal that she wasn’t even in control of, and the next I want to hurt her just as badly as she had unknowingly hurt me.I was walking a fine line between love and hate with Gemma these last few days, but wasn’t that the true nature of passion? Love and hate were so closely similar that one could turn into the other so easily with a few wrong or right choices. If there was enough passion to fuel one or the other they were both possible. I could tell that my hot and cold behavior towards her started to change how she saw me, but it both terrified and relieved me that I might be close to losing her.After West was knocked out and in the care of the Coven King I tried to convince myself that Gemma was still my Rose bud from before the kidnapping, bu

Gemma POV I frantically stood up standing between the two Alpha males that wanted nothing more than to kill each other all because of me. “ENOUGH!” I could feel my molten lava powers surfacing as my emotions took over. I tried to take in a deep breath and center myself like Jennifer had taught me. “William it was my fault things got out of hand, and I forgot how this would affect you it was an honest mistake.” All he did was glare at me, “oh you forgot that I was your mate how convenient for you I wish I could do the same.” He spat at him, and I let out a small whimper from his hurt full words. When Westley stood up growling at his brother I knew that this situation was going south quickly, and the fire within me was now at the surface tempting me with its intoxicating pleasure to help solve my problem. I shook my head trying to clear my mind to stay centered, and when Westley’s hand comes to interlace with mine he

Gemma POVEver sense we got back from the cabin everything around me has felt surreal, the more they force how they thought I should feel on me, and what they thought I should do the more it all just felt wrong. Kade and William seemed to be playing a game of tug of war with me that I wasn’t even given the choice in participating in. I had started to enjoy spending time with Kade, but he felt like a wise older friend nothing more. Obviously I felt something for William, but I could tell that he was still hurt and angry about everything that had happened at the cabin no matter how much he said that he was trying to forgive me for him. Like I decided to go they’re of my own free will and betray him which only made me annoyed by his ever looming presence. He sat there in the background like a creepy stalker, that tried to talk to me as little as possible unless I had a question about my memory.William seemed to be adamant about me
