Mathias, the twins, and Selene walk into the main sitting area, where Morgan and Maddie wait.
Morgan jumps to his feet, wrapping his arm around Selene. Toby and Liam growl, throwing Morgan's arms of their mate. "Sorry, you two. Selene, what happened?"Selene's head is spinning. So much had happened today. Where to start? Before Selene can say anything, Mathias jumps in. "Who are you?" An awkward silence falls. How could they explain Morgan? Selene is the first to speak. "This is my best friend, Morgan. He has been a brother to me since we were in diapers. He is also the father of my child."Mathias whirls on his sister. "What!? You're pregnant? How? A wolf can only become pregnant by mate." Morgan grimaces and rubs his shoulder. "I technically was for a day."Mathias's face turns to confusion as he looks at Maddie. Liam and Toby stand off to the side, letting the family resolve the mess. "Mathias, it is a long story. I assure ye neither Morgan nor Selene were wilKisses on Selene's cheek wake her from her sleep. She moans, leaning into the touch."Good morning, beautiful." A husky voice whispers. Selene wraps her arms around Liam's neck and pulls him into a sloppy kiss. Liam hums in contentment, his fingers gliding over Selene's hips as his tongue glides over her bottom lip. As the two lovers fight for dominance, Liam rolls on top of Selene, his hands running over her body. His fingers become daring, slipping to the globes of her ass. "I'm not ready to mate.."Liam kisses her forehead. "Wasn't trying to, love. I promise I will wait for as long as you need.""Even though I let Toby mark me?" Selene eyes his beautiful sapphire ones.Liam scoffs. "As long as I am the favorite." Selene giggles. Every sound Selene
Alpha Aaron storms in, his eyes falling on Selene in the vampire's arms. His eyes flash black as he stalks towards the bed. "Dad, stop! Luke saved me!"The Alpha freezes. He is shocked at the name Selene called him: Dad. A host of emotions bubbles through the tough Alpha's exterior. How he longed to hear those words from Selene's mouth. A cheesy smile breaks on his face, and a shocked gasp leaves his lips. He is thrown by her admission that he almost forgets the vampire. He composes himself and returns to his rigid Alpha pose. "A vampire saved you?""Yes. I was being attacked...and Luke protected me."Luke quirks an eyebrow at the vague explanation.Aaron knows his daughter is withholding details. He shrugs it off for now and turns to Luke. "You have my gratitude...?""Luke." The vampire holds out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Alpha." Aaron nods in greeting and pulls up a chair to her bedside. "Why are you in my daughter's bed?""Cause I asked him to, dad." Se
Hands run up and down Selene's sides. Smiling, Selene looks into the sapphire eyes of Toby. He mirrors her smile, gazing tenderly down at her. His fingertips graze over her cheek, slowly moving down to her jaw. "You're so beautiful," Toby murmurs, his smile never leaving as his eyes memorize her face. Selene lifts her hands to cover his, kissing his fingertips. "You're not so bad yourself." Toby leans down and ghosts his lips over hers. Selene sighs at the tender touch. Before Toby can deepen the kiss, a loud sound comes from the door. "Can't leave you alone for five minutes, eh?" Liam leans down and scoops his mate into his arms. "Toby, Mathias wants to chat with you. I'm taking our mate to the Alpha's wing." Toby rolls his eyes, annoyed at the interruption. He leaves without another word, eager to get back to her."Alpha's wing?" Selene tightens her grip around Liam's neck. "Your parents want you here until this whole mess is over. Mathias gave them a rundown. It seems the fa
LukeLuke slips to the cold, dank cell floor, bunching his long legs against his chest. He leans his head against the wet wall sighing in resignation. Perhaps this was his penance for his mistreatment of Selene. How could he so callously disregard a second-chance mate? Footsteps approach his corner of the dungeon, followed by the sound of something being dragged. The guards shove an unconscious body into the cell next to his. A groan rings out. Nora lifts her eyes and spots Luke. She releases a blood-curdling scream, but the guards ignore it, walking back to the dungeon door. "Stop, you screaming mutt, or I will have an early dinner." Luke rolls his eyes. H"You tried to kill me!"Nora whimpers, her back burying into the iron bars. "Yes, because you were going to kill Selene." Luke scoffs. He has had enough of her. He turns his back, looking ou
SeleneSelene runs out of her room, looking behind her shoulder and giggling. She had woken in her bed, pinned down by a playful Toby. Before he can kiss her, she pushed him off her, initiating a game of chase. As she hits the landing on the stairs, she feels a strong pair of arms lift her. She squeals, throwing her legs up. Toby smacks his lips against her cheeks, walking toward the kitchen. He sits at the dining table and pulls Selene on his lap. "Good morning, lovers!" Diana cheerfully greets. "Could you control yourself in public?" Aaron grumbles. "Show some respect for my daughter!""Leave them alone, they're young. Remember whe we first became mates?" Luna Beth smacks Aaron's shoulder as she serves pancakes. "I'll let you two share a plate." She winks at the young couple. "Thanks, mum!" they chorus. Aaron glares at Toby, forcefully
A knock on the door wakes Selene. She smiles at Toby's sleeping form, enjoying how his hair fell in his face as he lightly snores. Another knock interrupts Selene's gazing. Toby's eyelids flutter, a smirk forming when he sees her."Good morning, baby." Toby's fingers wrapped in her hair, pulling Selene into a passionate kiss. They are interrupted by a loud knock. "Selene? It's past dinner." Morgan's muffled voice announces. Toby groans, falling back on the bed. "Curses!" Selene curses, throwing on a shirt and yoga pants. "Be back soon, baby, or I might come to find you." His promise is so full of desire and of lust that Selene feels her pussy tingle in anticipation.She crawls out the door, blocking Morgan's view of her naked mate. "Oh! I forgot to grab Luke's dinner." Selene realizes she passed the freezer full of blood bags on their way to the dungeon.
Grace She could feel it. The minute her plan hit a snag. Her breath hitches as a vision of a young wolf marking Luke presents itself. No. Dark clouds began to form on the horizon of her beach paradise- heaven created for her sacrifice. Her anger building each passing minute. How could that she-wolf do such an unforgivable act? Her sweet Luke, the loving vampire she had left behind. How she begged the Goddess Selene to grant him a second-chance mate! Were all her prayers for naught? How she prayed for her Luke to find someone to love and cherish. She had to go down there and fix this! Grace closes her eyes and begins focusing on Luke, visualizing his smile, laugh, and cold embrace. "That would be unwise, Grace." A beautiful voice whips around her. Off in the distance, two forms shimmer into existence. Grace sighs and waits for the two Goddesses to join her. Danu is the first to greet the wit
LukeHe didn't see it coming. His back was turned, watching the hall for his beautiful hybrid. Something sharp stabs his neck, and the ground rushes up to meet him. Arms wrap around his shoulders, slamming his head against the bars. When he recovers consciousness, Nora is staring down at him with a triumphant grin. It only takes a second for him to feel it-a a mate's mark.That insolent she-wolf! Just as he is about to attack her through the bars, a loud sound behind him grabs his attention. "Selene...." he tries to reach for her through the bars, but she backs away, horrified at the scene.After a short confrontation and The Alpha's judgment on Nora, he stood outside with Selene's family, watching as tears fell down Selene's face. That annoying pup- Toby, is glaring daggers at him as if he could have prevented the crazed sh
