It’s not that I think they’re frail. Chloe is just the most precious thing to me. When Estel finds her mate, I’m sure he will think the same. Having a mate and someone you want to protect, above all else, changes one's perspective on everything.

“I can’t wait to meet this new Luna,” Estel said. “She sounds like a badass.”

“She has her moments,” Beau shrugged. “She’s like a kept doll at the moment. Everyone is desperately hiding her away.”

“You sound like you disagree. Do you have a problem with us protecting our mate?”

Beau and Kai exchanged a look, then Beau just sighed. “You sure protecting her the way you are isn’t just going to remind her of her first mate? He locked her away in the pack house too.”

I growled deep in my chest. “She’s not locked away.”

“No,” Beau scoffed, “She just can’t go anywhere without you two flipping out or without Lenny and Jamie babysitting her inconspicuously. She’s not stupid. She’s going to catch on.”

“Wait, you’re having her guarded without her permiss

    Estel POV“There. Now I just need to neutralize the scents lingering on your body from this pack, and you should be good to go.” The soft-spoken warlock moved his smoking hand in front of me, from my head to my feet. We were standing far away from the others, near the car he had driven. The car had been de-scented too, and now the only smells coming through are from me. I only smell like my pack now, which is the point.“This dress looks expensive,” I looked down at my borrowed attire. “Are you sure this is what a realtor would wear?”“No, but Winnie insisted that it would be perfect. I wasn’t telling him no.”The little werecat definitely had a pair of claws on him. I wouldn’t argue either.To keep myself hidden from the public, and this mission top secret, I’ve only been with the Alphas and these new stripper men for the past few days, staying at a house lived in by two witch sisters and away from the pack house. I’ve gotten to know these men decently over the past few days and hav

    Chloe POV“Chloe? Are you alright, lapachka?”The room had grown silent as my tears ceased to fall. I was still curled up under the pool table, hiding from the rest of the world as Lenny babysat somewhere on the other side.“I hate when you call me that,” I murmured. “What does that even mean?”My voice sounded monotone and dead, even to me. I was starting to feel that numbing layer over everything inside of me, a self-preservation thing no doubt, so I didn’t break from everything I had been trying to bottle up inside.“It’s just a term of endearment. Like when you call someone sweetie.”“So it means sweetie?”“Well, no. Not directly. It’s just the feeling of the term. It actually translates to, uh, little paw?”“Like a dog’s foot?” That didn’t sound endearing at all.“Like when you see cute little tracks on the ground, and think to yourself, awe, I bet a creature with cute little paws made those tracks.”“Sounds like you have a foot fetish,” I murmured against my knees.“Maybe,” he l

    “Chloe?” It was Mick’s voice that spoke as I felt their presence entering the rec room. I was sitting on one of the old couches, and Lenny had gone to stand near the door.I didn’t look up, though I felt both sets of eyes on me. I don’t know if it was from nerves, guilty, or lingering resentment, but I just couldn’t meet their eyes.If I looked up and saw that cold stare again, I don’t think I could get through this without breaking down, and I really don’t want to show any more weakness than I already have.“Baby….” This time it was Miles, and I could feel the pain in his voice. It caused me to reluctantly look their way, and my insides immediately crumbled.Miles no longer had that cold demeanor. He looked so incredibly sad that it tore me up. Mick was so concerned, I could taste it.I was dreading this. Hearing why they didn’t want to have kids with me was going to be painful, but I could see they were in pain right now too.With a weak smile, I fidgeted on the couch, wondering wha

    “So, that’s what you two have been busy with the last few days? Why you haven’t been in the pack house at all?”“That and the mission to get Boyd back,” Mick said.“There’s a mission to get Boyd back?!” I had no fucking idea, and all I’ve been doing is sitting in my office, picking out linen samples and going over my budgeting reports. “That wolf had dark magic! Don’t you think I could be helping?”“You were asleep for days after helping last time,” Miles grumbled.“Yeah, but you and everyone else survived! If I hadn’t been there, where would you be?!”His eyes narrowed, looking cold again, though his hands were still warm as he held my body. “That’s beside the point.”“No it’s not!” A panic was rising up in me. “What if someone got hurt?! What if….” I didn’t even want to finish this thought. “What if one of you…..”“Baby,” Miles held my face between his hands. “It’s our job to keep you safe. Not the other way around.”That pissed me off. “Bull shit,” I growled. “You want me to just s

    Estel POV“It’s pink,” Ada, my wolf, grumbled. When I pulled into the circle drive, we could see into the giant windows along the front of the once forgotten resort hotel.It was atrocious. It looked like the inside of a pepto bismol bottle. It was painfully pink. Who the hell paints walls this color? Not even an accent wall, but all the walls, from floor to ceiling. And then the ceiling’s dirty glass skylights were reflecting the offensive pink back, the sunlight sneaking in giving the higher part of the wall the image of being scribbled over with a highlighter.It sucked.“And you have to act like you’re here to view the property to put it on the market,” Ada snickered. “No one wants to buy this shitty eyesore.”She was right. Even if I was a real realtor, this would be a freakishly hard sell. The amount of work that went into painting the inside was such a waste. Graffiti would have looked better than this. Giant penises and boobs would have been less assaulting to my eyes.“Well.

    Chloe POV“Bets are simple,” I said, pacing around the green felt table with a que stick in my hands. “If you win, I’ll sit out, playing the loyal, boring doll you both want me to be.”Miles growled. “I never said I wanted you to be a doll.”“Sex doll, maybe,” Mick muttered under his breath. I chose to ignore him.“Neither of you needed to say it. It’s clear you would rather me stay here in the pack house and be worthless than be out there helping you. That’s why you weren’t telling me shit.”“We weren’t telling you shit because we were protecting you from-”“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” I waved my hand to stop Mick’s repetitive argument. “Say what you want. I get it. I really do. I’m just not willing to give in without a fight.”“I’ll fight you right now,” Mick stepped up, pressing his chest to mine. A tremor ran down my body, feeling his heat. “Forget playing pool. I’ll fight you right now, and we can end this for good. An all-out brawl.”“Ah, you’re cute,” I smacked his cheek with my palm.

    “Would you like to break?” I smirked, chalking the end of my stick and blowing on its tip.The corner of Miles’s lips quirked up as he leaned against his pole, knuckles white while gripping it steady. “You go ahead.”“He has no idea what he’s in for,” I giggled to my wolf.“I don’t know. He doesn’t look worried at all.”“Neither were the guys when I first got to Broom StiXXX.” I had their man panties in my hands plenty of times after that.“I’m telling you, this is a bad idea,” Mick growled, watching with his back pressed against the wall.I stared at Miles to see if his brother was convincing him to change his mind, but he just motioned for me to go.Leaning over the table, I lined up the shot, and right when I was about to take it, Miles said, “I’m going to bend you over just like that before plowing into you from behind.”It was too late for me to stop my momentum, and the white ball went flying towards the others. It hit in the wrong spot, and though they still broke, only one str

    Mick cheered loudly. “Fuck yeah! That was fucking awesome!” He high-fived his brother, then threw his arms in the air, carrying on until he looked at me. I don’t know what sort of expression I was making, but his cheerfulness slipped away pretty quickly.Miles tossed his cue stick to Mick, then marched over to me. I tried to smile to congratulate him, but couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was working hard not to stomp on his foot and call for Lenny to help bash heads.“You won,” I said dejectedly. “Guess I’ll be stuck in my office for the foreseeable future.”Miles pressed his chest to mine, not saying a word. He just peered down at me with an intense look on his face.“What? You want to bend me over the table right now?” I scoffed. I was getting pissed thinking about the loss. “Can we take a rain check? If someone hadn’t cheated at the start, you couldn’t be this smug, you pompous, too-tall jerk.”His mouth twitched. “Too tall?”He was standing over me, and it just slipped out. “Don’

    Six years later….“Mama!” Emanuele came running up the hill with a small purple flame in his hands. “Look what Pop-pop taught me!”“Very pretty,” I grinned, tucking Sage’s hands under my arm so she wouldn’t reach out to touch her brother’s flame.“Me! Me!” Emilio came running with a sphere of water in his violet-glowing hands. “Pop-pop said mine was better!”“Did not!”Emanuele threw his little ball of fire at his brother, and Emilio deflected it with his water. The water burst from the impact, soaking Emilio’s shirt. He let out the cutest little growl before pouncing on Emanuele.“No fight!” my two-year-old daughter yelled, then turned her face up to me. “Mama, no fight!”“I know, baby,” I smiled, smoothing back one of her thick curls. “You two heard her. Stop fighting.”“He started it!” both boys yelled at the same time.“What’s going on here? Two seconds ago, you were both all smiles.”My dad came up the hill from the pond with a big basket of different herbs and magical instrument

    “Look at them,” Gail gushed, running her finger down Emilio’s cheek. “They’re perfect.”Labor was fast, or at least that was what I was told. It felt like fucking forever to me.When my baby boys were placed on my chest, all the bad just faded away. All I felt was pride and unending love for the two little lives me and my mates created.“Emanuele is hungry,” Miles brought our other son over to me.Gail lifted Emilio from my chest before Miles placed Emanuele in my arms.“I have a question,” Jamie raised his hand. “How do you feed them with your tits pierced?”Dad backhanded him across the chest at the same time that Mick and Miles snarled at him.“I know, I know,” Jamie raised his hands. “Get out. I know.” He headed for the door.Dario was glaring after him too. Jamie was really pushing it today with all the Alpha men.“Poor Jamie,” I smirked, putting a blanket over my shoulder, so I could feed my hungry baby. “He needs my other babysitter to help keep him in line.”“I miss your other

    Four Months Later….“Try this, nipote,” Nonna gingerly set a plate filled with pasta in front of me.I eyed it skeptically, second-guessing my craving for peanut butter and jelly spaghetti. Mushing a glob of jelly between the prongs of my fork, I gagged instantly.Running to the bathroom with my hand over my mouth, I heard Jamie mutter under his breath, “Not again.”“Poor bambino. The little ones don’t want this either, it seems.”This fucking sucks. Two days of only eating peanut butter and jelly with everything, and now these little parasites are taking that from me too.After emptying the contents of my stomach, I glared down at my belly while wiping my mouth on the back of my hand.“You two have outstayed your welcome.”I sat on the cold tile floor, shooting daggers at my monstrous-sized gut with thoughts of eviction in my mind when deep chuckling from the doorway sent my anger flaring again.“What are you doing, Cara Mia?”“None of your business,” I snapped.Mick laughed, then gr

    Rodger POV“Deal with it, but that mother fucker’s life here ends.”Alpha Miles was firm on one thing. Cindy had to go. After what happened with my daughter, I needed to take responsibility for this one thing more than all my other mistakes I had made throughout her life.Cindy betrayed us all because of me. Because of some warped sense of possessiveness he had over me. I was the cause, the reason for his betrayal. I needed to be the one that dealt with this.No matter how much it would hurt me.Cindy was tied to the floor with a coarse fiber rope. Usually a rope wouldn’t be enough to hold one of them down, but Cindy had been given wolfsbane to cut him off from his wolf. He didn’t even fight the dose. He sat with his head down, looking completely defeated once I woke up in that clearing.He was never much of a fighter, even with his wolf, and never aggressive. Never had I seen any side of him showing any hint of malice. I still can not believe that the broken young man that showed up

    Chloe POVThe pressure. The endless amounts of pressure pushing in from all around me, like something was about to explode. Like I was about to explode. That was the first thing that I noticed as I was drifting in the abyss.Then it hit me. The scents of spicy musk, bourbon and vanilla.“You’re going to crush her, you giant mutt,” an aged, nagging voice reached my ears.Driana.“They’ve gotten a lot clingier since they found out,” Jamie laughed.Even with my eyes closed as I came into consciousness, I could feel the energy in the room. There were many people here, but the suffocating feeling pressing in on me was undeniable. The fur tickling my face and the heavy, deep breaths I would recognize anywhere.“Are they ever going to shift back?” Driana said in exasperation. “She’s buried alive in fur. And those overgrown pups won’t let anyone get close.”“Their father was the same way when I was with child,” Luna Gail said in a far more upbeat tone. “Remember honey? Your wolf would come ou

    Mick POV“He’s getting away!” I bellowed inside Rome.“Not this time,” Rome tossed a Fire Moon warrior off our back, then bolted for the retreating monster our mate’s ex had become.Rome was hurting, seeing the nightmare his former counterpart had become. I could feel the turmoil tearing him up, the compassion he felt for the bastard. I understood it. His love for our mate overshadowed everything, but there was a time that Rome loved his first human.His first human wasn’t even human anymore. The Cameron he once held such high hopes for was replaced by the creature we were hunting now.Miles started to follow, but Rodger, still clinging to my back, yelled at him to stop.“Tell your brother to keep searching for my daughter!” Rodger yelled into Rome’s ear.“Keep looking for Chloe. I can handle her ex.”Miles’s bloodthirsty wolf snarled, but turned to do as we said. “You better fucking put him down. This ends today.”“This ends today.” Rome chased the monster of his former human, not w

    Chloe POVCortina and the vision around us swirled into a dizzying blur, and then disappeared as the tacky bedroom reappeared. Cortina groaned as her consciousness joined with mine again.Time was still stopped, Mr. Smith, or Asmodeus, whatever the fuck his name was, was kneeling in front of me, just like he was before Cortina broke free.I blinked, shaking my head slightly to clear the fog from the magic-induced dream-like state. As my powers settled inside of me, the world turned on its axis again and time resumed.“Breed with me, my goddess, and fulfill my destiny.”“What?” I leaned back, confused and disgusted by Mr. Smith’s request. Then I remembered the bullshit he was spewing before Cortina showed me the truth.“You saw it yourself,” Mr. Smith continued on, unaware of all I knew. “You saw how we were meant to be.”He leaned closer, brushing his fingers over my nape, dark eyes tightening at my mate marks. Cortina snarled loudly in my head at his close proximity. My skin felt col

    Cindy POVI needed to get out of here. I’ve tried to stay out of sight since leaving that room, so I could think about what to do next, but time was getting more urgent.The scent masker was beginning to fade. This was the last place I wanted to be when the rogue stench started to pour out of me. Most of this pack already looked at me like I was a bug, but I was a useful bug before.Now, I was worthless. That snake bastard made it abundantly clear.My wolf was snarling, already feeling lost and alone. We were rogue before at Broom StiXXX, but not like this. There, we had a community. A family.Now I have nothing.I wanted to blame Chloe. Goddess knows I do, but I know I have no one to blame but myself right now. Why did I think I could trust these people? I can’t trust anyone.Not anymore.With a twisting gut, I covertly moved through the halls, trying to avoid the crowded room of the bunker as I moved towards the entrance. I was almost there when a deep, raspy voice startled at me fr
