Erik POV
Finding out we have to interrogate one of the wolves I helped years ago made my stomach turn. I know it shouldn’t be such a big deal but going over her case and why we helped her go into hiding makes me feel like this is going to be harder than I thought. The man we helped her escape was named James Rome. We didn’t kill the ones they hid from or wanted to get away from because then we would have a bigger problem on our hands. Hearing the name Rome had to have freaked her out. We promised she wouldn’t have to worry about hearing from him ever again. I’m not sure if he’s the same guy, I wouldn’t be surprised though. I’ve learned with Briella that anything could be possible. Rome refused to speak to me directly without Briella in the room. I didn’t understand why at first until Andrew explained that he can tell through their connection if
Rome POVThey told me they are still alive.. I’ve searched for her for years. I didn’t give up on her, I gave up on hope. I know they don’t trust me because of what I’ve done in the past to Briella. But I can’t ignore this feeling I got when I was around her. I don’t have a mate, I wasn’t gifted with one that I know of. I’m 45 years old and leaving them was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. It was a cold Wednesday night when I left. I lied to them.. I spoke to my father that night. He called me and told me that I had to meet him ASAP that there was an emergency at the pack. With Alora being human I never took her to the pack with me. My fathers rules were strict, pack members weren’t allowed to fraternize with humans. Bringing her and my half human daughter back to the pack would cause more harm than good. So I left them. But le
Briella POV “ Would you stop poking me??” “ I wouldn’t be poking you if you’d just pay attention!” *slap fights* “BOYS!!” I yelled, making them immediately stop. “ what’s going on??” Questioning them was probably the worst thing I could have done. Honestly these two could be fighting about the stupidest thing that listening to them trying to explain will make my brain hurt. “ You know what, never mind. Matt I need you to go get me coffee please and then come back here because I have some business to discuss with you” I command him to get up bowing his head. But couldn’t leave the room before punching Andrew in the shoulder.
Rubbing my eyes from the bright sun beaming in through the window. Erik left the bed early this morning. This made me angry, we haven’t had the chance to speak about him lying to me. The Luna ceremony is in three days. How are we supposed to finish the deal (if you know what I mean), if we are fighting?” Rolling my eyes at myself loathing, I roll out of bed pushing myself up to my feet. Rubbing my eyes more, I make my way to the bathroom. Yawning, I cut the light on blinking my eyes a couple of times. Cutting on the shower while I wait for it to heat up I brush my teeth. Finishing off with mouthwash, I strip down and get in the shower. Skipping all the usual pampering I just wash my body and hair. Stepping out I dried off with the towel that was already on the shower door. Wrapping my hair up in it, I walk over to the dresser pulling out a pair of distressed blue jeans and red laced top. I don’t enjoy wearing stuff like this but it&r
Last night? I don’t even know how to explain last night. Any fairy tale you would be hearing me say it was magical.. the best night of my life. But honestly it was painful, But pleasurable nonetheless. I can still feel his lips on my inner thighs and the way his hands lifted me and traced every inch of my body. I’ve never felt something so stimulating before. He brought out a side of myself I didn’t know existed. Running my fingers against the soft texture of the blanket I keep my eyes close trying to keep the images of last night alive. Taking in a deep breath slowly, I open my eyes again. Moving my hand slowly up the blanket and to my neck. We marked each other last night. My mother always tried her hardest to explain to me how painful it will be because I’m not connected with my wolf like most. Tracing my fingers over the already scabbed over mark, it didn’t hurt as much as she said. Maybe it’s because we mixed p
Taking our seats in my office I couldn’t help but enjoy how I’m in charge right now. “ okay spill” I announce, sighing crossing my arms against my desk “ So we have spoken to Alora and she’s okay with us going and visiting her but she’s requesting only Erik and you go only.” Andrew explained standing next to the men sitting in the chairs. I had Erik bring in one from his office because there wasn’t enough in here for our guests. “ Did she say why she only wanted the two of us?” Turning on my desktop I decided to make notes of this meeting myself. For her to only want the two of us to come and talk to her, I have a feeling something bad is going on. But what I don’t understand is why she trusts me. I wasn't in the picture when Erik saved her.
*five weeks later* “ So how do we address this?” Tommy asked putting his hands in his pockets “ We are going to meet up with her at the restaurant she picked. It’s where she feels most comfortable. You three are going to be there as well but out of sight. Blend in. I mean it, one wrong move and she will flee.” I say with a straight face “ got it” he said clearing his throat “ Alpha Erik, you really got your hands full. She is very um scary.” He commented nodding his head “ well fuck this up and she’ll get a whole lot scarier.” Erik laughed, kissing me on the forehead. “ We leave in two hours exactly, not a minute later.” I command wa
Sitting in my office I rub my hand around on my stomach thinking about the little one growing inside me right now. Turning on my desktop I email my mom letting her know the good news. Because me and Erik have marked each other I’m not linked to them at home anymore. I felt the ties to them break that night. I’m kind of sad about it but it’s what’s meant to happen.Dear mom,I’m writing you this email because I’ve got some exciting news. I’m not really sure how to explain this but you are going to be a grandma in well I think 9 months? I’m not that far along but I’m not sure how long it takes to make an Angel/wolf. Please visit in a week to help me through this. I have no idea what I’m doing. I love you mom. Please don’t tell dad, he’ll freak out and want to come immediately. But
Erik made me get a once over by the doctor before we left this morning. I watched his facial reactions when he said I was fine to leave. I could tell he wanted something to come up that would make me have to stay here but releaf fell on his face knowing everything was fine. He made sure to pack plenty of snacks for myself for the trip and told the men to get comfortable because if we needed to stop for anything I wanted that we didn’t have or if I had to pee we were going to, no matter how many times. Since we aren’t going to be there for almost 12 hours from now I didn’t dress up to fancy. Just some sweat pants and a loose fitting t-shirt. They have scheduled to meet up with her for breakfast tomorrow morning so we will be staying in a hotel for the night. I also made them bring a blanket in case I get cold. The three men piled in the back seat keep bitching about leg room. We told them they could take a different car but insisted on riding wit
“ Of course father. Let’s talk.” Aurther hissed“ Please you guys can have a private conversation in my office.” Erik announced making his voice louder than theirs. Andrew and Hunter showed them to Erik’s office I waited until the kitchen door closed behind them before turning my eyes back on Erik.“ what? Why are you giving me that look?“ he sighed knowing already what I was going to say.“Really do you need me to explain? You just gave him up as if you didn’t care what was going to happen next.” I yelled throwing my hands up in the air“ Whatever he would of did to Aurther would of been a lot better than him taking his anger out of our pack” he admitted
I woke up this morning enjoying the two bundles of joy inside my stomach. I woke up this morning happy. We picked out our house and I love it, it’s huge and has plenty of room for everyone. Then reality sets in. James is on his way here. I don’t know what he is going to do or if everyone here will make it out alive after it’s all over. What if he is coming for war? And the talk he wants to have with me and Erik is just a distraction. But what if he doesn’t want to fight and we push him towards it by throwing Amanda in his face? How do I know what I’m doing is the right thing? Pushing myself out of bed I freeze. I freeze with my feet pressed against the ground.“ He’s here” rings through my head. I repeat this to myself over and over again as if I can’t seem to let it sink in the way it should.&l
“ sir? What do you want us to?” He asked me over and over again but I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to go about this. If Aurther is alive and kicking would Liam be? No, that's impossible. I buried him myself. Rubbing the back of my neck with my hand I paced back and forth in my office. I can’t help but wonder what all Aurther heard. Has he been able to read mh thoughts all these years? I remember what happened that night Liam died. And that night Aurther ran away for good. He was so angry with me without letting me explain. His foolishness ended with his brother's death. Not that I’m surprised he’s never cared about this pack or anyone else other than himself. Stopping in one spot by the book case when the office door opens up and my head warrior walks in again probably to ask what we are doing. “ trucks are ready sir” was all he said. I’ll admit I was kind of surprised they took matters into their
“ YOU DID WHAT??” He yelled at me over and over again. I don’t think he meant it in a way to hurt my feelings more or in a way to show how angry he was about me telling Aurther to alert his father without discussing it with him first. I just sat here listening to everything he had to say. All his worries and concerns. He even expressed to me how he was worried that if I did get hurt in battle I'd even notice because of my reaction from the glass cutting my stomach. And if I’m being completely honest I haven’t thought about that at all. It was odd that I didn’t notice, maybe it was because of the twins' powers. I haven’t even considered them in the situation of getting hurt either. I know that has to make me sound like a bad mom. But with the way they are protecting themselves I’m sure they will be fine. Right? But I also believe even being this far along that I can still protect myself. I haven’t h
Later that yesterday afternoon, Erik and I decided we needed to move out of the pack house. With two kids coming we knew they would be trouble and the pack house is made for business. After deciding this I couldn’t stop thinking about it, honestly I haven’t been shopping for the babies at all either. I mean I’ve gotten a few things here and there when we go to the store for other things but I haven’t been really shopping for them for all the big things. He agreed that we would go and look at houses after all of this is over, so I might ask to go shopping some as well. Sitting in the bathroom on the toilet I work up the courage to get up on my own. Only being a few months pregnant they are already twice the size a normal baby would be by now. One loves to press against my bladder at all ends of the night. Pulling my pants up I wobble over to the sink to wash my hands and face. My face is all broken out and my feet are so swollen
“ So what's the plan?” Amanda asked, holding an ice pack to her face. Just a few minutes Alora saw her flirting it up with one of the pack members and didn’t hesitate to let her know how she felt about it. It’s been years since they’ve been together but obviously Alora isn’t over it even though she was married to Liam. I wonder if she actually loved Liam then?“ Aurther still has a connection to his father, but he says he has a wall up so his father has no idea. Just hearing from Aurther like that could make him furious. Which will spark the flame and lead him right here. That’s where you come in.” I answered by passing over a cup of coffee to her. With getting punched in the face by her ex I felt like they needed it. Her hair is bright red and skin is fair. Her eyes are bright light brown color almost like honey. I let her borrow some clothes from girl
We got back to the hotel room. I'm surprised no one flinched seeing the big dude carrying a girl who seemed to be struggling and in need of help. Erik held on to her as Hunter grabbed the desk chair from one of the rooms and rope that I didn’t know we brought with us. With Hunter and Andrew standing by the chair he placed her in the chair. In the blink of an eye she was tied to it like a prisoner.“ We aren't going to hurt you” I said, trying to soothe the situation.“ Oh really?? Then why did your men kidnap me and tie me up like a wild animal?” She hissed yanking on her arms.“ Because we need to talk and you are obviously a flight risk.” Andrew explained placing a bottle of water to her lips as if she’s been sitting there for hours now.
The plane finally landed and I decided to keep what I read to myself till we got to the hotel. We still aren’t sure where Amanda is but I’m sure they have a lead on where she could be. We took a cab to the hotel which felt longer than the plane ride. Once we got there I still wasn’t allowed to help carry anything so I talked to the guy at the front desks to check us in. He was nice enough to give us a room here on the first floor since the elevator seemed to be down. Which is my luck since that happened at the last hotel we were at. Opening our hotel room I was amazed at how big it was. And the view was just as beautiful.“ Hey, I got to tell you something.” I mumbled into his head he looked me up and down making sure I was okay before responding.“ yeah?” He kept eye contact with me making it more and more
