I uploaded late today. My daughter kept waking up in the middle of the night, so I couldn't finish writing/editing in one go. But here it is. ♡ *** Riley is in Atlanta! What will be his next move? Is it Baby Riley or Baby Nadia on the way? *** Thank you for reading and waiting! ♡
BETA DOMINIC.I had just got off the shower and had put on fresh clothes when I heard movements in the living room of the suite the Alpha and I shared. I went out to see Alpha Riley slumped on the couch, his head leaning on the headrest with his eyes closed. "How was your night?" I asked him as I walked to the adjacent kitchen and started operating the coffee machine. "Coffee?" "Yes, strong one." He answered. "Check flights back to Hartley within the day. We're going home." A smile crept onto my lips as I turned around to look at him. "So you talked with her? Three tickets then?" "Just two. She’s not coming with us." He answered coldly."What? She said no and you’re just giving up and fucking off? What the fuck, man!" "Shut the fuck up!" "What exactly did you tell her?" "I didn’t talk with her. Heck, I didn’t even come near her.""What? Fuck, you’re really fucked up! You spent weeks looking for her relentlessly and now that she’s just a few feet away from you, you're cowering
NADIA. After breakfast with the Graysons, Zahra drove me to the diner before she went off to her work. Lunchtime was just over, and the crowd was starting to calm down. I am tired and I still have four hours to go. But at least I would have my lunch in thirty minutes. I could get my rest. I was scouting the whole diner if there were any booths that needed to be cleaned so I could tell Johanna, but it looked like everything had been handled. I was about to go back to the counter when the door opened. My instinct told me to turn around and welcome the customer, but I didn’t expect to see the person who had just come in. My heart leaped as I saw Beta Dominic. He flashed his boyish smile, and I suddenly forgot where I was. All I was thinking was that if he was here, Riley must be behind him. I moved forward and hugged him tightly before I got hold of myself. "Oh, I’m sorry. I just got excited." He laughed before he bowed his head slightly at me. "I’m glad to see you, Luna. I mean
RILEY. I’ve been home for two days, and this was the first time I went out and saw the sun after I holed up in our room when I came home. My Gamma and Jenny have been attending to pack matters. I told them I just needed two days to myself, and tomorrow I would get back to work. They didn’t ask why and what happened in Atlanta. Perhaps my Beta has already called them and explained. And I was thankful for that. But there was one more thing I needed to do before I could start fixing up whatever was left of my tired soul. Maybe by doing this, I could finally move on and see a silver lining. It was time to meet Andrea. I rolled down the car window and spoke with Beta Paul. He was at their border. It was easier to ask permission for entrance. It didn’t take long before he opened the gate and allowed my car in. I was expecting him to search me as they did when I went here before, wanting to take Andrea away from Caspian, but he didn’t. Instead, he offered to drive my car so we could
RILEY. A heartbeat. I stayed still on my knees, holding her hips for a while longer, basking in the most beautiful sound I’ve heard in my entire life - the beating of two hearts, Nadia’s and our pup’s. Nadia wasn’t saying anything. She wasn’t holding me either. She was just standing with her hands on her sides. But I understand, and I wasn’t complaining. I slowly tilted my head and looked at her, and found her looking at me. "You’re pregnant." "We’re pregnant..." She corrected me before biting her lower lip. A smile tugged on my mouth, loving the way she emphasized the word ‘we’. "Is that the reason why you came back?" I asked in a low voice. She nodded her head before she spoke, "Can you stand up? It’s so awkward looking at you kneeling there." Her hands held my arms as she urged me to move, and the sparks became more explosive. Her touch made everything in my body come back to life. I rose to my feet and just stared at her. I wanted to touch her, but I didn’t want to
NADIA. Riley pressed his body against mine, but he was careful not to crush my stomach while his hand was already under my dress, gently massaging my ass, inching it closer to my core, and I knew once he touched me there, I would totally lose it. "Riley..." I panted against his mouth while he continued to devour me and all thoughts of making him pay for the pain he caused me just flew out of the thin air. "Mine…" He growled as he nipped my lower lip before plunging his tongue into my mouth, making me whimper as I bucked my hips higher, wanting to feel his hard shaft on my mound. ‘I can hear you from here, Luna. What happened to making him wait?’ The Beta chuckled in my head, and I felt like cold water had been poured over my head. I pushed Riley abruptly, and since he wasn’t expecting it, I was able to get away from him. Oh, Goddess! Was I that loud? I tucked my loose hair at the back of my ears before I straightened my dress, and I could feel my skin heating up. Riley's gaze wa
RILEY. The doctor’s visit went well. Doctor Genevieve came and did a thorough check-up on Nadia and our pup. She was already in her ninth week, which means she was three weeks pregnant when she left. Genevieve said all of Nadia’s and the pup’s vitals were excellent and there was nothing to worry about. And she was about to leave our room when Nadia asked about her heat and about sex. I was actually planning to ask the doctor discreetly, but then again, my mate has her own ways of surprising me. And it gave me an overview that I wasn’t the only one looking forward to it. But I dared not voice my opinion. I stayed quiet the whole time, like the good mate that I was. Genevieve confirmed that she would still go on her usual heat during full moons, but it would become less and less than usual as she neared her delivery. As for sex, we could continue as usual and she even suggested making it more frequent as her due date approaches. And that got me excited. But it has been three day
NADIA. Riley took my hand and clasped it with his. Our fingers entwined, letting the sparks calm us both as we walked up the stairs. No one was saying anything, and I had no idea where exactly we were heading. I just let my mate guide me as I tried to feel his emotions. He had his walls down and he was letting me know he wasn’t happy with his decision. He might have decided to meet his mother because of me. And although it was originally my plan to use myself as bait, I felt guilty for doing it now. We reached the fourth floor, but instead of swinging to the right, where our room was, we headed to the other side, where there was a short corridor. There was only one big double door on that part of the floor. We stopped in front of it and Riley began punching in the code slowly as if letting me see what numbers he was pressing. Something clicked from the inside, and he let go of my hand. With both hands, he turned the door handles and opened them. My eyes widened at the view inside
RILEY. Nadia’s body was resting against mine while my arms were wrapped around her naked body as I cleaned the wounds from the new mark I gave her. I had been wanting to re-mark her when she returned, but I didn’t have the courage to ask if she wanted me to. And this moment was just perfect. I wanted Nadia to be mine again, body and soul. "Hmmm…" She mumbled softly, resting the back of her head on my shoulder as I continued to lap and suck her neck clean. "That was amazing…" "Did you like it?" I asked her as I stopped licking her skin. My hand reached for her face, tucking the stray hair behind her ear. Her eyes were closed as she nodded her head. "I love it. I miss that. I miss us." "Me too. I miss us. But I’m here now. I’m not letting you away from my grasp again." She chuckled softly, her hands holding on to my arms snaked around her waist. "You better, because maybe next time you’ll never find me again." "I know…" I leaned my mouth into her ear, nibbling her earlobe. "Ril

12 YEARS AFTER THE LUNA CEREMONY RILEY. "Zach, come here." My firm voice echoed in the cemetery as Zach walked toward us with a solemn expression on his face. Just by the sound of my voice, he knew I was upset with him. He sat down in front of me and Nadia, crossing his legs and sitting on them as he clasped his hands together before locking eyes with mine. That was one thing I taught my son, to look me in the eyes whenever I talked with him. "Explain why you shouted at Amber earlier," I asked him, my forehead creasing. We just came from Caspian and Andrea’s twins’ 10th birthday party. The whole time, we saw Zach tease and taunt Amber, which was not his usual behavior. But we didn’t mind. Zach has always behaved, except whenever Amber was around. And Caspian’s little princess never backed down and would always fight back whenever Zach attempted to annoy her. And all the time they would make a fuzz, we just let it slide because, at the end of the day, they would still be attached
EIGHT YEARS LATER.RILEY."Harder! Please! Oh yes! More!" Nadia was whimpering under my hold, and I obliged. My hand was gripping her hips tightly as I grunted while I pounced into her. She was a temptress. I woke up with her mouth on my dick, giving me pleasure that only she could provide, before demanding I fuck her as payback for my early treat. And I was more than willing to pay."Nadia... Fuck!" I groaned, my mouth pressed against her hair. Her sweet scent combined with the smell of her arousal was giving me an ultimate high. Like my own personal fucking drug.I was having the best time of my life when a sudden movement from outside our room caught my ears. And then soft knocks came.Nadia was so lost in ecstasy, and that was probably the reason she didn’t hear the soft knocks. Soon, I caught a whiff of Nikka, my youngest twin daughter. She was the one behind the door.Shit! I didn’t want to stop fucking Nadia. I could feel her on the brink of her release. We were standing, her
The Luna Ceremony. NADIA. My union ceremony with Riley as well as my Luna Ceremony just ended an hour ago. The ballroom was now buzzing with guests from almost all the packs that we had an alliance with. Some of the Lunas I had met, but there were new faces as well. But most importantly, Katarina was here. With her very own Alpha. I watched with happiness overwhelming my heart as my best friend danced gracefully in the arms of the man she wanted and, eventually, the one she ended up with. She had a tough ride, but she made it through. If there was anyone who deserved happiness, it was the female who stood up for me all these years. The only female who made me feel important even when I had nothing to offer her back. "They looked good together…" Riley’s warm and comforting breath fanned through over my neck as he brushed his lips against my skin, bringing tingles and sparks that only he could give me. His arm coiled around my body as I turned around and snuggled into him while my a
ALPHA DARVIN. "Where do you think you’re going?" Katarina’s voice reached my ears as I was about to step out of the packhouse. She must have descended the stairs and caught my scent. I spun around, a wide grin on my face as I looked at my sister, who was approaching with her eyebrows hiked up as she looked at me from head to toe. "Are you wearing a perfume?" She asked. "Does it smell bad?" I answered almost immediately. "No. It actually smells nice but… just wondering why?" I couldn’t blame her for her curiosity. Werewolves emit scents that are simply attractive to other wolves, and a special scent just for their mate, so there was simply no need to shower in perfume. Unless, of course, your mate happens to be human and would not be able to scent your special scent. "Oh Goddess, did you brush up your hair and clean your face too?" Katarina came forward and cupped my face. "Darvin, are you okay?" I chuckled as I held her palms and withdrew them from my cheeks. "Do I look good?"
ALPHA DARVIN. After thinking about it for months, I finally had the courage to dial her number. My wolf, Titan, was getting weaker, and I was getting restless. We wanted to at least hear her voice, even if it was for the last time. After three rings, she picked up her mobile phone, and her sweet voice was like music to my ears. "Hello…" I said I just wanted to hear her voice, but I couldn’t find it in me to drop the call. I would wait until she does. A few seconds had gone by and she was still on the line and I could hear her breathing. "Hello…" She said it one more time before she let out a deep sigh, and I knew she would be dropping the phone call soon. "Is this Celeste?" I didn’t know what got into me. All I knew was that I suddenly didn’t like the idea of her hanging up. "Yes. Who’s this?" But her voice sounded chirpier this time. "This is Darvin… I’m not sure if you remember me, but I am…" "Darvin… Riley’s friend…" She cut me off, and I don’t know why, but I could pictur
NADIA."What time are Bella and Trent coming?" I asked Ellie for the nth time, and she giggled again, as she did earlier. "I don’t know. Why don't you believe me?" "She’s your twin. I’m sure she tells you everything." I answered her. We were all planning to visit the cemetery today, but we haven’t heard of Bella and Trent if they were already on their way here."Well, not anymore. We don’t talk about sex and stuff, and I think that’s what Bella and Trent have been doing mostly these days." Her eyes were squinting as she laughed heartily the moment she saw her brother’s head snapped up to look at her with an annoyed expression on his face.We were eating lunch in the dining room. Only the three of us were around since Sebastian and Jenny were eating lunch with their mothers. Dominic was out somewhere for work and Dawson was on the training grounds.After Zahra and Leandro’s deaths, the twins moved out of Atlanta and transferred directly into the territory, and were initiated into the
BETA DOMINIC. I was on the other side of the territory with Alpha Riley when Gamma Sebastian’s message came. He stated that he had granted Sofia permission to enter the territory and that she was on her way to the packhouse. My mind went into a haze. She was not supposed to be traveling at a time like this. Since the incident with Zahra, all of the Alphas in the area have agreed to only travel with females when absolutely necessary. And having her travel without Alpha Darvin with her didn’t sit well with me. "Alpha," I called for my Alpha’s attention. "Hmmm..." he replied before turning his gaze on me. "Do you think you’ll be fine if I leave you alone here? Sofia is on her way to the packhouse with just Alpha Darvin’s men with her." "What the fuck is she doing here?" I shrugged my shoulders before I brushed my hand over my hair. "I had no fucking idea." "Go then. I’ll just wrap it up here and tell Nadia I’ll be home soon after." I cocked my head to the side in submission befo
NADIA. The packhouse was still gloomy, but it was swarming with warriors today. Riley has stepped up the security within the packhouse and around the territory. The vast neutral forest connecting Alpha Caspian and Alpha Darvin’s territories with us was now rounded up by warriors from all three packs. There was already security before, but it wasn’t as established as it is now. After breakfast, Riley stayed in his office with Alpha Aeon. The Alpha arrived early this morning to pay respect to Zahra, and they’ve been discussing something behind closed doors. Only the Beta and the Gamma were allowed inside, and even Jenny had no idea what was going on. But I wasn’t worried. I knew Riley would let me know once we had our time alone. I was relieved that at least he was moving around and discussing things rather than being stuck in one place. Not that he was not allowed to mourn Zahra, but I didn’t want him to feel that he hadn’t made Zahra happy, because I knew that even in the short ti
