2024-10-29 19:42:56Cade stood at the altar, a smile on his face, as he watched his mate walk down the aisle towards him.
Her cream-colored empire wedding dress accentuating her beauty.
A lacy fitted bodice skimming her full breasts, dipping into a V at the front, a wide sash just beneath her bust, then chiffon flowing down towards the ground, her feet covered in dainty ballet shoes.
Her hair flowing freely behind in silken waves, only a simple halo of flowers on her head.
Ava had wanted to keep things simple and didn’t want to draw too much attention.
But, the cat was out of the bag, as he grinned at his mate, his smile widening as she rolled her eyes at him, a quirky smile on her lips.
He could only chuckle, as his gaze skimmed down, landing on her small protruding belly, both him and his wolf puffing up in pride and arrogance, knowing that they were still highly fertile and virile.
Their mate was pregnant.
For a brief moment, he wan

Ava could not believe that the day had finally arrived, calling a taxi, she left her son’s apartment and travelled to the dealership which was over two hours away.Sitting in the back seat, barely taking note of the scenery passing by, she pondered over the events that had led her here to this point in time, making this journey to fetch a uniquely designed vehicle, a one of a kind car, something she would not have considered over a year ago...Life had not always been so easy for her, about four years previously, out of the blue, her husband of almost twenty years of marriage, up and left her for a younger model, aka…his personal ass

Cade was not in the best of moods, today was one of those days that he wished to be anywhere but at work.His ex was trying to get back into his life, her latest boy toy had dumped her and she was feeling old and lonely.She had been pestering him of late, constantly pitching up at his place, on the pretence of checking up on the kids or calling him at inconvenient times, whining about stupid nonsense.As if he would take her back, he scoffed to himself, she was in for a rude awakening, he would not touch her with a beanpole, especially since she had not been faithful in the last few years of their marriage, luckily by then, they had been living separate lives, each with their own room.So, when he finally had the proof he needed to separate from her, he had not looked back, luckily his kids were old enough at the time to understand that their parents were not made for each other or were even soul mates.However, he always made su

Vanessa’s phone pinged, apologizing to Ava, she quickly scanned the message, a smirk forming on her face, it seems that her dear brother-in-law took the bait, now they had to see how things panned out for the rest of the day.Ava had finally signed all the necessary documentation and according to Vanessa, they would be sent to the DMV, to get stamped, sealed and sorted.And whilst she waited, Vanessa would show her the vehicle that she had fallen in love with and bought.Following Vanessa to a section of the showroom, her n

Cade rolled his eyes at his sister-in-law, he was more than eager to help her in this case, wanting to get to know the woman who had intrigued him from the moment his eyes had landed on her.Gazing down at her small form in the chair, a tingling sensation formed throughout his body in anticipation, as she slowly turned to face him, her light blue eyes widening in surprise as she took in his form.Cade was struck by her natural beauty, wondering on how old she actually was and if he wasn’t cradle snatching, she seemed so young close-up and her sweet scent drove him wild.

“Are we going with that…?” She stuttered nervously out, shifting from side to side, wondering how she was going to get on that thing.Cade frowned, “Haven’t you been on one of these before?” He asked, as he took a helmet to place on her head.Shaking her head in denial, “Nope…!” She replied, “Thought about it…never had the courage to try it.” She admitted truthfully, still staring at the huge contraption before her, somewhat in awe of its design and power.

“Hi Drake…” Ava spoke between bites the moment the call connected, much too Cade’s amusement.“Hi Mom…” The caller replied, Cade’s tense body sagging in relief, he had thought that the caller was a partner…Forcing himself to discreetly listen to the conversation, giving the impression he was giving her privacy, when in fact he was doing the opposite, genuinely interested in hearing her talk with her son.“Why are you calling…?” Ava asked, getting straigh

It was the grating sound, like nails along a chalkboard, which woke Ava up, chilling her to the bone, she had been in and out of it for a while.Since her capture, a sense of time had evaded her mind, unsure of where or how she got here or even how long she had been in this place.Here, being a dark and danky place, the smell of mildew surrounding her.She was unable to move, having noted during her waking moments, that she was tightly tied down, her hands tied behind her back, her feet apart, the rope firmly tying them around the chair’s legs.Another rope tied around her waist, keeping her upright in her seat.Her head ached, especially at the back, the memories crashing into her conscience, as she remembered bits and pieces, of how she had gotten into this dire situation.The first emotion being anger, as she lifted her head and gazed at the monster before her, the one who had put her in this predicament, the one who had falsely thr

Cade hightailed it too the designated location, mindless of the speed he was travelling.His brother’s tone and a sense of foreboding urging for him to get there as soon as possible.The address given by his brother was an old abandoned motel, just a few miles north of where Ava’s hometown was, it had taken him just under thirty minutes to get there, would have been more if he had been driving a car, but since he had his bike, he could easily zip in and out of traffic.Stopping beside his brother’s truck, Cade took off his helmet, taking in the surrounding area, it was a little bit off the beaten track, slightly tucked away, the tropical growth starting to take over, camouflaging the abandoned building, anyone passing on the main road, would not have known that this was here.“Matt…” He called out, wondering where they were as he made his way towards the building, surely they would have heard him, it’s not like h

In the early hours of the next morning, while Ava slept peacefully, Cade had gone over the previous day’s events.The barbeque had gone off without a hitch, it had been a success, despite the issue of the threat hovering in the background or Ava’s sister surly mood.Everyone had retreated to their homes, with promise of meeting up again often.The two dogs still had to be taken by his brothers, Cade didn’t want any distractions, especially since his ex was still out there, nobody had been able to find her, the tech guys were working their butt off trying to ping an exact location, tracking her phone, but each time they got close, it seemed to escape their grasp at the last second and go off the radar.Even his trackers had reached a dead end, the scent on the note had taken them round and round, like a merry-go-round, it was like someone had dropped the note from above.If he believed his ex could fly, he would have thought that s

“Finally…” Matt teased, entering Ava’s home a few hours later, “Was wondering when you guys were coming up for air.”“Hush…” Vanessa, his wife scolded, “You are no better, given the opportunity.”Matt grinned at his wife, “True…” Agreeing with her.The Hunter clan all filed in, adults and kids, filling Ava’s home with laughter and noise.Ava was introduced to Cade’s kids first, she was nervous, but they seemed to genuinely accept her place in their Dad’s life, both embracing her whole-heartedly.Then his parents were introduced, they had come down with Luke and his family.Ava had also invited her parents and her sister, her parents had gotten on well with everybody at the first introduction.Though her sister, Claire was a different issue, she stood apart, watching proceedings with a slight upward tilt to her nose.Ava and

After having taken care of her needs, Ava sat back contently in Cade’s embrace.He had explained everything on what had happened while she had been out, as well as explain to her the transformation that had happened once he had marked her.Of course, there would be more questions, but at that moment, she just wanted to savor the feel of having his arms around her, her body lax and content.They had moved outdoors, laying in the large hammock, under the shade of a large tree, each enjoying the peace and quiet.Even if it would only be temporarily, both knowing that a threat still lurked nearby.Cade held Ava in his embrace, her head on his chest, his hand stroking her back absentmindedly, ““You know, I would like for you to meet the rest of my family...especially my kids.” He began, might as well get this over with, his kids had been nagging to meet Ava from the get go…but he had been reluctant, wanting first to form a

Satisfaction coursed through Cade, his wolf retreating to the back of his mind, curling up contently, happy in the knowledge that they had finally marked their mate.Cade gazed tenderly at his mate, as she lay lax against his chest, it was natural with the marking, for the mate to black out, it would take a couple of hours before she woke up, nature’s way of getting to work, her body preparing for the transformation, especially since she was a human.If she had been a werewolf, the time would have been shortened by half, the only difference between a werewolf female and a human, was that the werewolf only required the change of status, whereas a human not only went through the status of her werewolf partner, but her body was also gaining some of the werewolf qualities required to complete the transformation.Contently he gazed at his mark, only other werewolves would be able to see it, the human eye would be unable to detect it.Currently it looked

Stunned, Cade could only stare at Ava, barely moving, barely taking a breath, worried that if he moved, that whatever he thought he might have heard, be only in his imagination, in his dreams... Feeling somewhat embarrassed and out of her element, Ava was wondering if she was mistaken, that perhaps Cade was having second thoughts, his stillness and silence stretching into a uncomfortable length, the seconds, minutes ticking by since her declaration. Having lost patience at the continued silence, Ava decided in that moment, that it was either better to tuck in her tail and run or fight, perhaps she was wrong, that all of this was not worth the stress and grief, she was currently suffering. âWellâŠapparently I was wrong, clearly all the hogwash about wanting me, loving me, marking me was all bullshit!â She lashed out in anger, reverting to her protective shell, it was either fight or flight and since she was tired of running, she decided to stand her ground, she

âSo what do we do now?â Ava asked, her sweet voice penetrating his rage-fuelled mind. Those who knew him would know that Ava was his true mate, only a true mate would be able to calm the beast within. âWell, it depends, on what is decided in the next few moments, we can carry on where we were last at, before we were rudely interrupted or we confront the elephant in the room, in this caseâŠSharon.â He answered, hoping that they could continue on the former, rather than the latter. TypicalâŠmen all around the universe only thought with one head at a time, always guaranteed to be the one below their belt, huffing in frustration, crossing her arms, she glared at Cade, âI was querying about your exâŠ!â She elaborated, getting to the point. Muttering under his breath, âThere is nothing we can do, until Sharon is found and brought to justice, we will stay here, under the protection of the guards, my brothers will notify me immediately of any news or findings.â
