Fourteen: Information Natalya We got back to the packhouse about thirty minutes later. I walked in with Aunt Lani, Mykayla, and the girls. I took the stuff I bought up to my room and set it on the bed. I mind-linked Dustin to let him know I would be in his office in five minutes. I turned around and walked out of my room and up to the next floor, where Dustin’s office was. I didn’t bother knocking; I knew he, Kaleb and Nate were waiting. I was surprised to see Aston and Brighton joining us as well. It did make sense; those two are his best two fighters (well, besides me). I took a seat by Brighton, and he slipped his arm around my shoulders. I have no idea how we ended up as mates, but who am I to question the moon goddess? As kids, we hated each other, and we were always fighting. I think that’s why I got into all the different martial arts and MMA to prove that even though I was not as big or physically strong as the males, I could still kick some ass. I remember the e
Fifteen: Stressed Dustin This week has been fucking terrible. Between work and now dealing with whoever this asshole thinks he or is following my mate, I am constantly on edge. To make matters worse, I have barely seen Mykayla, and it’s breaking my heart. Not to mention that I can feel in our bond that it is hurting her that I haven’t been around much. I have to get this shit under control. I don’t want anything to happen to her or the girls. Work has been tense, and I can feel hurt radiating from Mykayla, but we have gotten everything we need to do done. Thank god for this long weekend. I need it, and so does she. Mykayla went home early because she was not feeling well. I am just getting ready to leave when I get a text from dad asking me to stop by their house on my way home. I reply, letting him know I am just leaving work and that I will be there soon. I pull into their driveway and get out of my car. I walk up to the door, which flies open, and the bright smile of m
Sixteen: Planning Unknown We were still formulating the plan when we were told that her apartment building was on fire. We hurried down there to see, and that’s when we saw them. The three of them are standing there, just staring at the burning building. We were making our way to them when Alpha Dustin and his family showed up. Figures they would show. I watched as the Alpha went to talk to the landlord and his mother walked his mate and the two young girls to their car. We headed back to our car, and I thought about following them, but I knew where they were headed. I thought about calling a few of the guys and stopping their car and taking the girls, but I knew we didn’t have that much time until they crossed the borders to Silver Moon. The Alpha was taking them back to the pack’s territory. I had my guys keep following his mate. I didn’t want the younger girls so it was probably a good thing that I wasn’t able to take them. We have been tailing the Alpha’s mate now for
Seventeen: Heat Mykayla When I woke up the next morning, I was actually feeling worse. Dustin had already gone. He and the guys had some errands to do in town and were going to go to the next town over and pick up some food from everyone's favorite restaurant. My whole body ached, and I am pretty sure I had a fever. I climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. I decided on a cold shower which did help. I was still hot, but it seemed to cool me down a bit. I walked downstairs and joined everyone for breakfast. The girls asked if I was feeling well, and I said no and that I thought I had the flu. I wasn’t very hungry and just sat there and talked with everyone. I could feel the fever coming back, and I stood up to head back up to my room. When I stood up, my whole abdomen cramped up and my whole body felt like I was going to burst into flames. I have never had cramps like that before. I knew it wasn’t that time of the month, which happened last week. I bent over in pai
Eighteen: The Meeting Dustin Mykayla’s heat only lasted two days. As amazing as it was, I am tired. That girl actually wore me out. I am not complaining at all. I thoroughly enjoyed every second, but I am pretty sure I haven’t slept in 24 hours. Luckily I have one more day to recover before returning to work. I am just glad it’s over, for Mykayla’s sake. I hated watching her in all that pain. I am desperately hoping she has a pup growing inside her. I will be watching her carefully, if she is carrying my pup her scent should change soon. I am currently sitting in my office waiting for Kaleb, Nate, Natalya, Ashton, and Brighton to show up. We have a meeting in a half-hour with the triplets that Natalya knows. She is certain that they can help with our problems. Rogue sightings have increased, and we know there are at least three people spying on Mykayla. I haven’t received any more pictures, but Mykayla told me that she had had a weird feeling the last two days as if she
Nineteen: The Beta and his Goddess Kaleb I finally found my mate, and I was happy about it, but shit, she’s a fucking goddess. Not like I will treat my mate as my goddess, but like a real goddess. I leave Dustin’s office and walk back to my room. I closed and locked the door as I walked in. I really just want to be alone right now. I am not sure how to handle this. I am just a werewolf; what is that in comparison to her? I swear I can still smell her intoxicating scent of chocolate, raspberry with a hint of coconut. God, she smells amazing! Kylani, what a sexy name. She is everything I want, but she is unattainable. I grab my shirt, pulling it over my head as I lay down on my bed, throwing one of my arms over my eyes. I replay the meeting in my head. She came and sat by me during our discussion, making my heart just about burst from my chest. I even felt her hand touch mine and the spark it sent shooting up my arm. I swear, by the end of the meeting; she was sitting s
Twenty: Training and Mates Dustin I could hear several voices as I made my way down to the kitchen for breakfast this morning. I am still worried about Kaleb. I have been trying to mind-link him for the last hour, but he has a block up. I was going to try last night, but I figured he needed some time to himself. I knew he was having a hard time coming to terms with Kylani being a goddess, but I still believe he is overthinking the whole situation. Chris said they would be back today, and he said he would bring some friends to help with everything. I asked if they were more gods, and he said that some were half-gods (otherwise known as demigods), but most were immortal. Mykayla is with me as we walk into the kitchen since the girls have already left for school. We were supposed to work today, but I called the office and let them know we had a family problem that I had to deal with. Plus, both of us can work from home if needed. Thank god that there is nothing important going o
Twenty-One: Happy Surprise Mykayla I know Dustin is worried about me. I haven’t been eating well, and when I did, I would vomit soon after, so what is the point? While it is true the stress of everything is affecting me, there is more than just that. I started to suspect something about one week ago. I told him one day while we were working that I needed to run an errand at lunch. While it was partially true, it was also a way to make sure I was alone when I went and picked up the proof I needed. After I had taken the test and it said positive, I hurried and got rid of the evidence. I am pregnant and am scared. I am sure Dustin will be happy, but this is the worst timing. With whoever is out there watching us and everything else going on, this is the last thing we need right now. Besides, Dustin and I have only been together for three months. I went back to work and tried to act like nothing was wrong. I know he has caught on, but he is not pressuring me to tell him what
