Killian had brought her to their room and began apologizing. She stopped him and told him everything Danielle had said and did. Killian began to cry knowing now he didn't betray her in any way. She told him what Andrew said about the baby. If she had a boy, he would be back to try and claim him. Killian instantly went into a protective mode and swore he would never let that happen. What Andrew said was weighing heavily on her mind. So much so, she didn't hear Killian come in. He walked over and touched her shoulder, making her jump.
"I'm sorry. I knocked and called out to you."
"No, I'm sorry."
"You're thinking about it again?"
"I can't help it."
"Babe, I told you not to. It's not healthy for you or the baby."
"I know. I don't know how to shake it."
"I'll shake him to death if t

He swore no harm would come to them as long as he drew breath. As he sat there, Crystal came in to feed Alex. When she saw him, she grew concerned for him."My love? You okay?""Just thinking.""Andrew?""Yes.""My love, I thought we weren't going to worry about it until later. We agreed that we spend this time together.

She saw the woman who was supposed to be her mother in the corner."How could you let him?""I get the boy.""He's my son.""No, he belongs to Andrew now.""Never."Andrew walked in just then and told her to take the boy. Crystal watched in horror as her hands were tied behind her back and Alex was carried off. She struggled and yelled and cursed for her to bring back her son. Andrew smiled wickedly down at her."Trust me, you don't want him to see this."Before she could answer, Andrew punched her in the gut and slapped her across the face. She spat blood in his face which made him angrier. He hit her in the jaw and she dropped. He began to kick her and was ready to beat her to death right there until he heard the commotion outside. He dragged her up and took her downstairs and saw Killian an

Mother was told she couldn't have any more children, so my parents looked to me to take over the pack. The training was hard, but I did it with ease as time went on. Then, a miracle happened. My mother was pregnant again and this time they said it was a boy. I had gone through all the training and now it wasn't my responsibility.

The Alpha's Battered Queen 53. No One Knows
Once back home, Crystal and Killian sat down. There was a lot everyone didn't know. The reason she planned the three-week event was because she and Killian were fighting. For once in their life, they had disagreed on something major. They both wanted different things. Crystal wanted to stay at the castle away from most people she knew. She thought they were happier and closer here. He wanted to move them back to Blood Moon and be around everyone again. She feared if they were back around everyone, she would lose him. Even though she knows what he was doing, she didn't want to talk to him. But she had a better chance of turning Thea into a wolf than getting him to talk to her. Being back around everyone, he didn't have time for her, and even with how long they were together, she still felt like an outsider. She felt like she belonged in the background in his life.There was no talking about it. He wanted to go, but she wanted to stay. She thought going back was a mistake

Blake sat at the table with Thea in their apartment in the packhouse. He had noticed lately that Thea wasn't herself. The move had happened almost a year ago, but still, she seemed off to him. She was happier to have her mountain, but something was still upsetting her. He knew it had something to do with the mountain and he had a plan to fix some things for her. He just hoped she didn't come back early. Her voice broke his thoughts and he looked up at her."What's on your mind?""Just thinking of how terribly bored I'll be when you leave.""I'm not leaving for a few hours. Missy is coming to get me and we are going through the portal to go see your mom.""All the lunas and beta females will be there?""Yes. It's a clinic for all of us.""How long will you be gone, again?""Three weeks."Blake laid his head down on the table and groaned. Thea laughed and moved to his side and put an arm around him. He kissed her and groaned agai
The Alpha's Battered Queen 51. The Big Move
The entire room fell silent and everyone stood in shock. Thea looked as pale as a ghost as she realized a change that had never happened before was about to happen because of her. Blake held her hand and waited for anyone to say anything. Midnight Ash's Luna, Brittany, spoke first."This is insane.""Well, it wouldn't have come to this had you been more acceptable to the plan before.""We won't stand for this. It has never been done and it won't be done.""Alpha Peter?""A move like this has never been done. But in the spirit of new changes, if Alex is okay with it and both the packs agree, I don't see why a move cant happen."Brittany looked at her mate in shock. He was going against her. Peter looked at her and reminded her that he may be alpha but as king and queen, they had the power to assign a new alpha and luna to Midnight Ash. She stormed out of the room and Peter walked up to Alex."What do you think?""Thea is my sist

They were so happy now that she didn't want that ruined. As so many thoughts raced through her head, she distracted by Killian."Penny for your thoughts, beautiful?""What?""You look like you are in much distress. Anything I can do to help?""Killian?""Yes?""That's what you sai to me our first day together.""Didnt it help?""Yes.""So, let it help now.
