Cora Brody had left me at the pack hospital because I told him I was feeling sick. I had been in the lobby waiting for freaking ever. When the nurse stepped away from the reception desk to help another patient, I had taken my opportunity to try to locate this Colleen person. I saw her name with the number 4 behind it. On the chart laying on the desk. I assumed that meant room 4. Though I had no idea which hall. I quickly returned to my chair and started counting. There were 5 different halls I could see from where I was sitting. I suppose I could wander around looking for a bathroom. The sooner I could find her and get reunited with my daughter, the sooner I could find out what Alpha Eric wanted and get it over with. I had gotten up to find the 'bathroom'. I chose the closest hall and started toward it. A nurse was coming up the hall I was trying to go down. She stopped and asked me if she could help me. I figured why the hell not. I gave her my best set of sad eyes. "Oh yes,
Alpha Greg Talk about getting the shock of your life! Well, I surely can say been there, done that, got a fucking t-shirt after yesterday. One minute, I am checking on my investments, and the next, I am being drug across my pack. I didn't even have a chance to shift. I probably still have leaves and dirt in my ass crack. Not to mention the road rash. I guess I always knew this day would come. You dont do the shit I've done and get away with it forever. But I never thought I'd be going down by myself. I certainly didn't accomplish it all my myself. The fact that Alpha Eric wasn't sitting right here beside me in his own cell is a cruel irony. He's probably still living his best life. Did it have to be Mr. goodie 2 shoes himself, Wyatt Harris? That's just pouring salt in the open wound. Who would have thought he was working with the werebears? Who knew they were bosom buddies? Birds of a feather, I suppose. Well, I know now. But that isn't helping me a whole hell of a lot at the m
William I had left my packhouse early before anyone else was awake. I strode toward my dungeon with a deadly purpose. Today was the day I would hand down Alpha's Greg sentence and, therefore, move forward with his punishment. I was ready to put the Alpha and this chapter of our lives behind us. I hadn't told Layla where I was going. She didn't need to know. There was no doubt that Alpha Greg deserved to die for the things he's done. My only regret is that we still don't know who he was working with. He deserves to answer for his crimes as well. It will be the same justice for him. I knew my father was working on finding Greg's partner. I also knew if anyone could find him, it was Wyatt Harris. Cayden and Dylan had offered last night to come with me this morning, but I had told them no. This was something I needed to do on my own. If Alpha Greg should get lucky enough to escape, Luke would take great pleasure in killing him before he made it to the bottom step. I wouldn't even try
Alpha Eric 'Well, well.' I thought to myself as I hung up the phone and sat back in my chair. So Layla Smilth is Alpha William's mate. This was interesting indeed. Let me see what I have here. I had the prophecy child that I needed to expose his mate and her abuser all in the same place. This was too good to be true. It was as if the evil deeds God's were smiling down on me. Now, to bring them all together for one hell of a showdown. Alpha Greg was the easy one. By now, he would be livid, doubled by the fact that I am not sitting right there beside him. He would be more than willing to take his revenge on the ones who'd put him there. He never did know when to sit the hell down and shut the fuck up. Layla was my trigger for sure. William would be too angry to control himself when it came down to her life. He would use every ounce of his powers to save her. I have found out that Layla's been spending a lot of time alone in the hospital with my pregnant breeder. This would provide
Cora I have been setting in this hospital room for 2 mind dumbing days. The only way I get any sleep is with my head hanging off the back of my chair. It's not the most comfortable position. I am going to have a permanent indention in the back of my neck! Every time I catch Colleen asleep I slap the hell out of that bitch! If I can't sleep, neither can she. Alpha Eric has been very elusive with his grand plan. He told us this morning. He had a man on the inside. Who was going to drop a key in the dirt for me to get Greg out. So I am supposed to just disappear from my daughter's bedside tomorrow night and go spring the bitch out. And give him a fucking whip no less. Me? The one who stood back and watched him be drug out his own pack? I don't know where the hell he gets his information from. Though it's true, Layla has been in the hospital quite a bit latlely with Brandy. But how I was supposed to approach her without her knowing who I am. And then convinced her to go play hide an
Dale I know what I am doing is wrong. Most of the pack members would consider me a traitor if they knew. Feeding Alpha Eric, the information that I have is probably immoral. It's also dangerous for my health should I get caught. But Alpha William is cocky little bastard. He'd always had everything handed to him. Even the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She may be his mate, but I want Layla. William doesn't deserve a woman like Layla. She is too perfect for him to marr. It's no secret the way he goes through women. She was obviously afraid of him the first time I saw her in the library. Everyone knows that he is a warlock. He probably has cast a spell on her. Well, I can break that spell. Once he is eliminated, I will take her, and we will leave this place. I have no loyalties to Alpha William or Alpha Wyatt. I was not born here in New Moon Rising. My mother brought us here when I was 3, after my father ran off and left us. Yes, Wyatt did take us in, and I probably should
Dale I glared at Craig. Sickened by the fear he obviously holds for Alpha William. "I am not afraid of Alpha William." I stated flatly. "He is nothing but a spoiled, rich kid." It was definitely an unpopular opinion I knew. But I wasn't in the least intimidated by the Alpha. He was just a wolfman like the rest of us. The only advantage he has is his magic and his daddy's money. Alpha Eric has assured me that his powers won't be an issue much longer, and I am sitting on a fat stack of cash myself at the moment. He scoffs at me, taking a bite of his biscuit. "You should be. Didn't you hear about what he and his wolf did to that Alpha in the dungeon?" He asks as if he can't believe it himself. Actually, I haven't heard of anything this drastic happening in the dungeon. I have only been down there one time to put the key where Alpha Eric and I agreed upon. I didn't see the need to go further down to the cells. I wasn't trying to introduce myself as the one who was helping him to escap
Layla William and I are in the dining hall having dinner with the fam. William is teasing me terribly. He is licking his mark on my neck. I am loving every bit of it, but he's making my pussy very wet. I am still wearing my scrubs from today. I know when I stand up, everyone is going to be able to see the stain my juices are leaving on the thin material. Doctor Edwards has put me into her intern program at the hospital, so I have been spending a lot of time there. She is an awesome doctor, and I am learning so much from her. She will be leaving the pack next year. I and her other intern, Rebecca, will be taking over the hospital when she retires. I am both excited and nervous. I am also missing my mate. Between the number of online classes I am taking and my shifts at the hospital. I dont get as much time with him as I would like. William and I have tried to take our courses together, but we always wind up on the floor or in our bed with him buried inside of me. And while that
William I am happy to see Uncle Brody and Aunt Dina have arrived. Aunt Dina is very pregnant. So I wasn't sure if they would be here. If she goes into labor, she will have a great doctor. I crossed the room to where they were. "Uncle Brody, Aunt Dina." I said with a smile, kissing her cheek. "I am glad to see you made it." "We wouldn't miss it." Brody said. "Your father's been telling me about your latest adventure. I am glad to see you made it." He gave my shoulder a squeeze. When the music changes again, I know it is time to begin. I usher Uncle Brody and Aunt Dina to their seats. Then, I turn and make my way to the stage. My mother enters first, and my father goes to escort her. He leads her back, and they take their place alongside me. Then Jack escorts Pearl. Archie does the same with Isabella. I am not supposed to leave the stage. My grandpa Leith has already gotten up from his seat to escort Layla to me. When I see her enter the room, my feet begin to move me forward
William After the party had ended, Layla and I took Luke and Mekia out for a while. I knew my time with her was about to get even more sparse. The first few weeks of the transition of power would be busy for me. There would be a lot of things that I would have to focus on other than my mate. But tonight, what was left of it was ours. I'd known going in. There would be countless meetings with my father and our investors. I had seen to it that he would keep an active role in Harris Enterprises. Still, I would be the decision maker. No more 'Alpha Wyatt will handle that'. It wouldn't be forever, though. Things would soon get back to normal or at least my new normal. We stopped to take a breath at what my father had always called his thinking spot. I settled Layla down beside me on the cliff overlooking the valley. It was quiet and peaceful. She seemed to be deep in thought as she stared out into the night sky. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "Penny, for your thoughts." I s
William My mother had arranged a banquet dinner for us all. With the pups incluged, there are 23 of us now gathered around one long ass table. I am a little disappointed that Dylan is not here. He told me he'd had a pre-arranged date for this evening. So he wouldn't be able to make it. It was a good thing that he had a date. I wish him only the best. I haven't said anything to him because I know Dylan would never act on the feelings. But Luke has been telling me how his Wolf Dex comes to attention a little too much for his liking. Whenever Layla is around, Luke also tells me. He has warned Dex to back off more than once. It is a good thing. I no longer have my mind reading abilities. Or else I would know exactly what they were thinking about my mate. And we would probably have a problem. I love Dylan like a brother, but still, he would not take Layla from me unless I was dead and he knows it. That's probably why he's been avoiding me. My father is in his place at the head of
Dylan I lied to my Alpha and told him I had a scheduled date for this evening. After my wolf decided to tell me that William's Wolf Luke had noticed his interest in Layla and told him to back off and he still hadn't. I really didn't have a choice. There was no way I could face both of them. I had indeed gone to the bar. I had picked up a woman and checked into a cheap motel under a false name. I had fucked her right and left her there still quivering in the bed. There was nothing pre-arranged about it. Now, I am headed back to my pack. My tail tucked between my legs, so to speak. As I pulled into the driveway at the front of the packhouse. I can hear the party I was invited to is in full swing. I curse under my breath as I strode around the side of the house instead of going through inside. I am on my way to take Dex out and run his ass into submission. At least I intended to run his ass into exhaustion. As we pass by the ballroom, I see William down on one knee. I know he is
William The packhouse is beginning to fill up with Harris's and Elliis's. Tomorrow, I will take my place as the Alpha of New Moon Rising. My father's parents, Alpha Henry and Luna Pamela, came in last night. Along with my uncle's Leo and Levi with their mates, Elida and Talley, and their pups. Aunt Talley is also my father's sister. My uncle Levi and my Aunt Talley actually found each other at my mother's Luna ceremony. Since my uncle Levi is the youngest of the Ellis boys. The pack went to my uncle Leo when my grandpa retired. Uncle Levi still has an active role in the pack and is still involved in its daily operations and management. Uncle Levi says he's never had a problem with the arrangement. He says it gives him more time to spend with his mate and his family. I hope that Wesly and I can come to the same accumulable understanding. When the time comes, though, something tells me he's not going to be as accepting as our uncle to take a side seat. We still have a few years
Layla "How are you feeling?" I asked Paul. He is sitting up in his bed. The intubation tube had been taken out. I have never been so grateful in my life. "A lot better thanks to you." He said with a scratchy voice. I smiled at him and gave his arm a gentle squeeze. "You are welcome, but I didn't do it by myself. All of us have been fighting hard for you." Mira is standing by his side, holding his hand. "We are thankful to you all." She says. I go about checking his vitals and his wound. He is healing better than I expected. "How is your wolf?" I asked him, looking at the stitches in his chest. "Getting stronger every day." He assured me. "When can I go home?" He asked. I gave him a stern look. "Not for a couple more days. I want to make sure your wolf can keep up with the healing process before I release you." He wasn't happy about it, but Mira assured me he would stay put until I said otherwise. "You need to rest." I told him. "That is the best cure for you now. Give
Dylan I can't deny that I am feeling a little jealous over my Alpha and Beta both finding their mates. Not that I am not happy for them. I really am. But I would be a liar if I said I didn't want the same for myself. Actually, my wolf does indeed want exactly the same, mate. He has been smitten with Layla since we saw her getting off of the Harris House bus. We had been on our back from our morning patrol. When we saw her, then we'd found out that she belonged to William. We knew we had no chance to have her. But that doesn't keep him from sulking. To pass the time and keep Dex focused on something other than our Alpha's mate, we have been spending a lot of time with the pups in our pack. They are after all our next generation. I knew for sure that I wanted a big family. I am an only child. Thankfully, I had William and Cayden and their siblings to grow up with. It is defentily easier for us both when we have something to occupy ourselves. Now that everything has pretty much
William All of us pups were gathered around our grandparents, Alpha Leith and Luna Helena. My mother's parents. Grandma had Abigail happily bouncing away in her lap. While Wesly and Harper were curled up on Grandpa's lap. It was so good to see them. I wish Layla could be here. Recently, her duties have called her away a lot. Paul had woken up this morning. I was thankful. My mate, however, hasn't left the hospital since leaving our bed upon getting the call from Doctor Edwards. She has been sending me updates every hour or so. I hoped she would be here soon, but I knew she wouldn't leave as long as she was needed. She was far too dedicated. It was good to see the effect that being with our grandparents is having on my siblings. Especially the ever introverted Wesly. Today, he is all smiles. He and our grandfather have always had a special connection. Grandpa always has said Wesly was the one of us kids who reminded him the most of Mother. Though he has never explained it. I don
Cayden I have played this night out a 1,000 times in my head. Now that's it's here. I am lost. I am hoping nature will just take its course. I close and lock the door behind my parents. I turn to find Brandy watching me intently. Whatever she is feeling, she has a poker face at the moment. I led her over to our bed and sat her down on top of me. I am enjoying inhaling her sweet sent. I think she must be doing the same thing because she has her face buried in my chest. I have always been curious about it. I've had a lot of women tell me I smelled really good. Not that I thought I stunk. Only one opinion mattered to me now. "What do I smell like to you?" I asked her easily. Not wanting to disturb her, I liked it very much that she liked my aroma. She seemed to be thinking about it for a moment. "To me, you smell like my favorite place, a place that I always want to be." She said, moving aside my button-up shirt and placing sweet kisses on my chest. I wondered if she knew what
