Darius POV Layla has fallen into an exhausted sleep. I know her confiding in me about her past was difficult for her. I climb out of her bed and pull the comforter around her; she sighs, rolling onto her stomach; one arm is tucked under her pillow the other is lying over it. I smile, looking down at her; she looks like she is cuddling her pillow. I can't help wishing I was the pillow, and she had her arms around me. Fucking pillow, I am so jealous right now. I mind-link Riley and say, “Wake up, asshole, meet me on the porch.” He groans through the link before saying, “It's three o clock in the morning, Darius.’ I growl, “I don't give a fuck. I need to talk to you.” I can hear Riley stumbling down the stairs before he reaches the porch. I look down at his feet and ask, “Where are your shoes?” He raked his fingers through his hair before saying, “Shit, sorry Darius, I won't be long.” I fold my arms across my chest while I wait; when he finally returns, I motion for

Layla POV The sound of Lea purring in my head wakes me up; I smile as I snuggle into the warm body in my bed, then freeze, ‘What the fuck?’ My head is on Darius’s chest, my body is lying across his; my skin tingles where our bodies touch. I go to move when Darius’s arm tightens around me, “Where are you going, Layla?” I put my hand over my mouth, praying to the moon goddess that I haven't got lousy morning breath, and mutter, “Bathroom Darius, I need to go to the bathroom.” Darius loosens his hold on me so I can get out of bed; I avert my gaze as the bed sheet slips and smother a groan. Lea purrs louder as she says, “You need to mark him as ours, Layla.” My face reddens at her words, and I glance back down at Darius; he winks, and warmth spreads through my body, starting from my core, and continues to rise in my chest until it reaches my face. I bite my bottom lip and make a beeline for the bathroom. As soon as I shut the door, Lea’s voice is back in my mind, “We need to m

Layla POVWhen I return, Darius is not in my flat; I groan; I hope mom didn't give him a hard time. Diana and mom are playing with Ellie and Beth; they are trying to teach the girls to walk by holding their little hands; Ellie and Beth's chuckle makes me laugh as they flop back down on their butts and start crawling toward me. Mom groans as she stands up straight and rubs her back before saying, “Darius sent Diana down; he said something about his warriors helping your wolves pack.” Before I can say anything, Marian walks into my flat and says, “I have set the cot up in my room for you and the girls, Nicole.” I frown as Marian and Diana pick Ellie and Beth up and leave and ask,“Why is there a cot in Marian's room, mom?” She walks over to the couch and pats the space next to her; her eyes sparkle with mischief when she says, “Sit down. We need to have a little chat.” I turn my back on her and grab two cups from the cupboard. There is no way I am discussing anything with my moth

Amy POVIt's early, Drew and I are still in bed; I roll toward him and grit my teeth as my pup's foot gets caught under my ribs. I groan and lay on my back; Drews stirs and reaches for me; I shiver in delight as he runs his hand over my stomach. Drew kisses my neck as he says, “Your awake early, sunshine. Is there anything I can do?”I giggle and slap his hand away as he slides his fingers under my panties and whisper, “Don't even think about it, Drew. I have to get out of bed.” He frowns when I sit up and asks, “Why are you getting out of bed so early, sunshine? We don't have to leave until after lunch.” My eyes eat him alive as I answer, “I am leaving early; I want to speak to Layla before everyone arrives.” He inclined his head toward my stomach and asked, “You haven't told her yet?” I shake my head. “No.” Drew rubs his eyes sleepily before asking, “How do you think she will take our news?” I rub my stomach as I ponder his question and smile, “Layla will be happy for u

Layla POV When you marked your mate, I had no idea that it was like a missing part of your soul that suddenly reconnected with your other half; for the first time in my life, I felt like I truly belonged somewhere and could cope with whatever life threw at me. Since I marked Darius, the mate bond has strengthened, and I can feel every emotion Darius feels. Darius sees me as his equal; I know that he would do whatever it took to protect me, even if it meant he had to die for me, and I would do the same for him. I don't feel overwhelmed or anxious when Darius is near me; his presence calms me and makes me feel safe. It also helps that he is incredibly gorgeous, smells fantastic, and is as sexy as sin.I smile at Darius; listening to him talk to Zach and Riley; his voice sends a shiver down my spine, he senses me watching him and winks; I lower my eyes to the floor when I feel myself blushing. I've been walking on cloud nine since we returned to the packhouse yesterday afternoon. Darius

Amy POVI waited until Darius closed the door behind him before sitting down on the couch. Layla pulls her hair into a messy bun before asking, “What did you want to see me about, Amy?” I put my hands in my lap and say, “I want to mind-link Drew and tell him you have marked Darius.” Layla frowns as she asks,“Why?” I look at her and say, “So he can tell Nathan.” She stands up and sits beside me on the couch before asking, “You worried how Nathan will react to Darius and I being mates?” I nod. “Yes,” Layla sighs before saying, “Nathan doesn't deserve to have a sister like you.”I shrug, “He is the only brother I have, Layla.”Layla huffs then says, “You know I can't say no to you, don't you?” I giggle,“That’s what I was hoping for.” Layla embraces me and whispers, “If it puts your mind at rest to tell Drew, then do it.”I hug Layla and thank her for understanding why I have to do this; after a few minutes, we go to Layla's flat to check on Ellie and Beth. Zach’s mate

Layla POVAmy and Drew are shocked by Nathan's words; his arms are folded across his chest as he leans back in his chair, looking at me. I watch as Amy’s face starts to crumble, and she starts crying in Drew's arms. I shake my head before placing my hands on the table, stand and say, “I think it's best if we leave you three alone to discuss this.” Mom waits until we leave the loungeroom before asking, “What do you think Nathan is up to?” I shrug, “I have no idea, mom. I guess we will find out soon enough, won't we?” It's not long before Nathan, Drew, and Amy walk out of the loungeroom; I am relieved to see that Amy has calmed down and is no longer crying; whatever Nathan has said to her has set her mind at ease. There is a stunned silence in the kitchen when Nathan looks at me and asks,“Can I speak to you alone for a moment, Layla?” Darius growls softly beside me; I squeeze his hand before saying, “Anything you have to say to me, Nathan, can be said in front of Darius.” The

I hold her tightly as she sobs, and it breaks my heart to see her this upset. Amy is the best thing that has ever happened to me; she is my reason for waking up every morning. Now we have a pup on the way; I feel like my life is complete. I lead her into the packhouse and go to the kitchen to make her a cup of tea. Amy has developed a sweet tooth since she fell pregnant. I cringe and put three teaspoons of sugar into the cup and stir it before I hand it to her. Her blues eyes sparkle with unshed tears as she whispers, ”Thanks, babe; I think I need this.” I go to sit beside her, but she shakes her head and says, “I will be ok, Drew; you don't have to stay with me; I know you have a lot of preparations to make before we leave tomorrow.” I kneel in front of her and ask, “Are you sure you're ok, sunshine? I can stay for

Darius POV Ellie and Beth have just turned five, and watching my daughters interact with the other children in our pack never ceases to surprise me. Whenever the older pups get into an argument, you can guarantee that Ellie is standing in the middle of them, trying to calm everyone down. Beth always stands beside Ellie with her fists clenched, ready to step in if anyone gets too close to her sister. We always knew Ellie would be our diplomat; her calming nature can diffuse just about any situation in which the girls may find themselves. If Ellie can't get through to the other pups, you can guarantee Beth; our warrior, will take control and step in. Beth watches her mother train with the warriors every afternoon, mimicking Layla’s movements; we are trying to delay letting her train with the older pups. But it is getting harder and harder to refuse her, especially when we know what our daughter's future holds for them. Ellie and Beth are highly protective of their little brother; they

Layla POVAll the pups that Willow brought with her now have homes; it never ceases to amaze me how quickly children can adapt to new surroundings. Willow and Riley have marked each other. Willow is a beautiful she-wolf with a loving nature; Riley and Willow are perfect for each other. Darius and I are on our way to my territory; Anita has gone into labor, and Diana is there, but both Zach and Anita have asked if I could be with her in case Zach passes out as Drew did. Our baby is due in a couple of weeks; I feel like a baby elephant these days; my feet are swollen most days, and getting up off the floor never ceases to have Ellie and Beth giggling uncontrollably. We have everything set up for when our pup arrives; I don't mind admitting that I have told Diana to bring any pain relief she can get her hands on when my time comes. I smile when we pull up out front of the packhouse; Zach's pacing frantically in the front yard; he turns toward us and approaches the truck opening my door

Darius POV I wake up in a foul mood; my eyes feel like someone has tipped a bucket of sand in them. Layla is sound asleep beside me; I untangle my body from hers and throw a pair of jeans on before going downstairs. No sound comes from the loungeroom where the pups and Willow are sleeping. I go to the kitchen and make a coffee before going to my office. I go to stand when I hear footsteps getting closer to my office; the door opens, and my eyes widen in shock when Riley enters and sprawls out on the couch opposite me. He rakes his hand through his hair as he says, “I need to talk to you.” I smirk at him and reply, “That's obvious, or you wouldn't be here this morning.” He shakes his head and chuckles nervously as he says, “I need your advice.” I groan, “Please don't tell me you have gotten one of the she-wolves you sleep around with pregnant.” Riley snorts as he says, “If only it were that simple.” I frown; this is serious; it looks like I am not the only one who

Layla POV It had only been a couple of weeks since Soren, Nathan, and Teena came to our territory. It's early on a Saturday morning, Darius and I are still in bed, our pack run was the previous night, and as always, after our packs ran together, we had a bbq. It was a bit of a struggle getting so many wolves in one place, but somehow we always managed to pull it off. Since it's not safe for pregnant females to shift, I waited at home with Ellie, Beth, Amy, Abbie, and the younger members of our packs. Darius and I usually lead the run, he wanted to stay at home, but I didn't see the sense of both of us missing out on one of the things we loved. We have added two toddler beds in the nursery for Ellie and Beth; Darius and I are lying in bed arguing over baby names; we have only just agreed on Bohdi as a boy's name. Choosing a girl's name is becoming impossible. I chuckle when I hear the pitter-patter of two pairs of feet as they run toward us. Ellie and Beth have started climbing int

Layla POV I froze when Teena stood up and went to follow me inside. Did I want this woman in my home? Lea’s voice entered my mind as she said, “Teena and Soren won't harm Ellie and Beth.” I nod and motion her to follow me; Alec is playing with the girls in the lounge room. I pick Ellie up. Teena looks at me and asks, “Can I pick this little one up?” I can see the shock in Darius’s eyes when I say “Yes” Lea had already told me Teena was a witch; as long as she wasn't here to harm my babies, I couldn't care what species she was. When we entered the kitchen, Teena said, “You are pregnant. Would you like to know if you are having a boy or girl?” I shake my head and answer, “No, Darius and I are happy to wait until our pup arrives.” She nods, helping Diana, Abbie, and I carry the food to the porch. Darius has already taken the girl's chairs outside; mom pulls a chair close to her and narrows her eyes at Alec as she says, “Behave yourself, or you will be eating inside

Darius POV We knew Soren and his companions were coming; our patrols spotted them two days before they reached our border. I mind-linked our warriors and told them not to stop him from crossing the border. Alec, Beth, and Ellie were to remain inside the house with Diana and Abbie while they were here until told otherwise. Sebastian was staying on Layla’s territory with her wolves. Everyone was to remain on high alert in case of any trouble, we weren't expecting any, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Lea has already alerted Layla that Alpha Soren would arrive within the next thirty minutes. Layla has set up a meeting area on the porch, she refuses to allow him to enter our home. Zach, Riley, Jackson, Nicole, Leon, and Kyra are already here, and Drew and Amy are on their way over now. Its have been raining non-stop since yesterday, so they would have to walk a fair distance up the mountain; my patrol mind links me and says, “They have pulled the cars off the road and coming

Soren POV The wolves Teena let into my territory have been here for two days; they have recovered from the wounds, and I intend to speak to them today. Teena and I have been in my office since dawn; she sits opposite me, holding a cup of coffee in both hands. I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest and ask, “What did you see?” She frowns as she says, “Nathan was an Alpha before he came here; he has made terrible mistakes in his past and is trying to compensate for the hurt he has caused the ones closest to him.” I nod, looking at her; Teena seems tired. I growl before saying, “And you still want to claim him as your mate?” She nods her head “Yes” and replies, “Everybody makes mistakes, Soren; you know that.” I snort, “That may be so, but it's too dangerous for you to leave here without me.” She chuckles as she says, “Mark my words Soren; Nathan will denounce his title as Alpha and stay here with me.” I roll my eyes at her and say, “Your very con

Layla POVIt's been a couple of days since Josie’s visit. Darius and I have been awake for hours, I get out of bed, and as soon as I place my feet on the floorboards, the room starts spinning. I run to the bathroom, kneel in front of the toilet, and empty the contents of my stomach. I groan, resting my head in my hands until the room stops spinning. I use the vanity to pull myself off the floor and step gingerly into the shower turning the water on so I can have a shower. I stay under the water until I feel better and wrap a towel around myself as I leave the bathroom.Darius is resting against the headboard of the bed with a frown on his face as he asks,“Are you ok, sweetheart, your not making yourself sick worrying about what Josie said?” I sit beside him and rest my head against his shoulder as I say, “Maybe I don't know Darius?”He wraps his arms around me as he whispers, “I wasn't joking when I said I would kill anyone who hurt our girls, Layla.” I sigh, looking up at him, a

Alpha Soren I haven't had anything to do with my family for years; I left home at sixteen and have remained hidden for the last twenty years. The politics of my brother's court sickens me; I had many wolves loyal to me and have built my pack from two thousand wolves to five thousand wolves; we choose to stay hidden. My brother has no idea where I am, and I intend to keep it that way. My brother Phillipe is an evil prick and wouldn't hesitate to kill my mate and my children if he knew our whereabouts. I wrap my arms around Tatiana, holding her close to my chest as the sobs wrack her petite frame; I can smell the fear seeping from her as she murmurs, “What are we going to do, Soren?” I kiss the top of her head as I reply, “I will never let anyone hurt our daughter Tatiana.” My sister Teena has just placed Octavia in her cradle; she smiles at me sadly as she leaves my bed chamber. Octavia is a beautiful baby. She will grow into a beautiful woman just like her mother; the corners
