Wyatt Seeing Hope cry had ripped a hole in my heart. I held her as tightly as I could, trying to give her every ounce of my strength. when she finally stopped sobing, she still would not look me in the eye, and that hurt me even more. I led her over to the chair in my office, and I set her on my lap, and I waited. "I am sorry." She finally said faintly. "For what? You haven't done anything wrong." I assured her. "Are you ready to let me in Hope?" She took a deep breath and nodded her head. "When I was eleven years old, my mother was killed in front of me." She began slowly. "I went to live with my father. He and his Luna, Helena, did the best they could for me, but I was a rotten kid. I am the product of my father's mistress, so I never felt like I really fit in, you know? Not that they mistreated me because they didn't. I just had a hole in my heart and was mad at the world. When I turned 21, I left. The only thing I wanted was to get justice for my mother. So I sought out the
Jack and Archie returned to the office with a map and another file. Jack raised an eyebrow and smiled at the sight of Wyatt, and I still huddled up together on the love seat. Wyatt pulled us to our feet. Instantly, I missed the warmth and sense of safety I'd found in his arms, something I had never experienced before. He moved us back to the conference table and sat down beside me. Archie was already unroling the map he'd brought in. There were red circles drawn on various locations with lines connecting the places. "These," he began pointing at the circles on the map. "Are all the locations of the Hard Dick's that have opened in the last year." Jack opened up the folder and placed it in front of me and Wyatt. There were dozens of missing persons reports inside. "And all these women have gone missing from the towns on the map." He said to us. As I began to look over the reports in the file, my hands began to visibly shake. "Do you recognize any of them?" Wyatt asked me. "Not th
Hope Wyatt took me by the hand and led me back to the love set, settling me once again on his lap. I thought we were going to do some more kissing. But when he looked at me, his expression was solemn, almost sad. "You know about the mind link?" "Yes." "You know, once you are in my head, I will be in yours as well, and we will hear feel and know everything the other does." "Yes, Wyatt, I know how it works. I am a werewolf. I have nothing to hide." "That's good because I don't want there to be any more secrets between us." Wyatt was nervous. I had never seen this side of him. "I meant what I said about Oracle putting you in the club. You are the single best thing that has ever happened to me. I have waited for you my whole life." He paused. "I also meant it when I said it wouldn't matter to me if you had been with a hundred men." "Wyatt, what is all this? You know I was lying....I" He raised his hand to cut me off. " When I found you in the club, I was with a woman." "I
Wyatt I held onto Hope as tightly as I could. I could feel her tears falling onto my shirt, but that was nothing compared to what I was feeling from her. The truth was she didn't want to be alone. She was frightened of it. She wanted love she wanted a family and a place to call her own. I would spend the rest of my days trying to give her all of that and so much more. I still didn't fully understand her family dynamic, but I intended to. There were a million things going through my mind. I needed to introduce her to my pack. We needed to have a mating ceremony. And a Luna ceremony. I needed to contact my family. And of course, I needed to mark her. I would kill any man who dared touch her! I pulled away from her to look into her eyes. "I want you to stay here with me." "I can't stay here, Wyatt." I said, knowing he could feel my desire to do just that and the fear that came with it. "You have no reason to fear me, Hope." "I am not afraid of you......it's just that I don't k
Wyatt I could smell her arousal as well, though it was fanit as she if she was trying to fight it. The way her body was responding to me was telling all. Jaxs was purring so loudly it was viberating my whole body. Itentionally or not. Hope had ignited a fire, and the flames were threatening to consume me. I knew I had to stop this. This was not the time or the place to mate and mark her. I pulled away from her and gently removed her hands from my face and head. Instantly, she looked defeated. "You have got to stop doing that." Her face paled. "It's not that I don't like it." I said, moving my hips from side to side so she could feel the erection of my rock-hard dick. "I have a lot of self-control, little mate, but right now, you are pushing the limits of my restraint." "I'm sorry." She said with the most adorable red in her cheeks. "It's alright. I am not mad at you. Just promise me you will do that ear thing again later." "You liked that?" she asked, surprised. I chuckled
Gary and Larry. I sat at the bar watching the place fill up. Unlike my brother, Gary, I had been against reaching out to the local werewolf packs with those stupid flyers. It wasn't a good idea to mix humans and werewolves. Werewolves, in general, were hotheaded and temperamental creatures. Add to that the alcohol and other various drugs Gary insisted on having available, and we were setting on a powder keg. Not that I gave a shit about the humans being killed, but the last thing we needed was the police to get involved. I could just imagine the headline in the local newspaper 'men get mauld to death at the titty bar while trying to get their dick sucked.' That would definitely put a damper on business. Gary was reckless all he cared about was fucking and making sure he had new pussy to fuck. I had tried to reason with him about that as well. We have enough witches, and she wolves to worry about keeping under control. It took a lot of my power to suppress their powers, but he still
Hope I had just slipped in through the delivery exit door when Wyatt mind linked me. 'Hope you ok?' 'Yes, I am inside the basement.' 'Remember to keep the link open. I want to be able to know exactly what is happening.' I made my way down the hall. There were several doors on my right. I heard voices coming from another of the rooms. So I ducked inside the clostest door and tried to hear what they were saying, but it was pointless. Screw this. I thought as I released Miana. 'Hope?' She said. 'I am ok, Miana. I need to hear what they are saying. Now that I had my wolf ears, it was easy for me to distinguish two distinct voices. They were talking about Wyatt. Miana growled defensively. 'Shhh.' I tod her. 'Wyatt?' 'I am here, Hope.' 'Can you hear them?' 'Yes. It has to be Gary and Larry. What do u see down there?' 'Nothing yet. I am hiding in a storage room, I think.....They are leaving heading your way.' As soon as the door closed behind them, I started down the hall a
Hope I bolted out of the side door on the loading dock. Helping the young woman down the stairs. We hauled ass across the parking lot and ducked down in the shadows, waiting for Wyatt. It only took a minute for him to find us. I was shocked when Wyatt took me into his arms and feverishly kissed me in front of his warriors. But it felt so damn good. I wrapped myself around him and returned the kiss with all I had. Jack cleared his throat, and I heard Jaxs growl at him angerly. Wyatt ended the kiss, but his eyes never left mine as he spoke."We need to get out of here. Anybody know where Archie is?" When no one responded, he said." Well, he's a big boy he can find his own way home. Let's move out." Wyatt helped the young woman into the front seat of the SUV. Then, slid into the back seat with me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him, he whispered in my ear. "I love you too, Hope." When we got back to the packhouse, Wyatt linked Pearl and asked her to com
Wyatt "Wyatt!" I felt Hope's hand pushing on my chest. I looked over at her on the bed, and her face was pale. "What's wrong, little mate?" I asked her, sitting up and pulling her close to me. "I don't feel so good." She said breathless. "I think it's time." It took me a minute to realize what she was saying. "The baby is coming?" I asked, excited. "I think so. My water just broke!" Hope said grimacing in pain. Frantically, I get out of bed, trying to remember all the things I was supposed to remember. My mind was a blank! 'We need to get her to the hospital.' Jaxs helpfully pointed out. 'Right! Hospital.' I say to him. "I need to change my gown." Hope was saying. "I am soaking wet." I went over to her dresser and got out a clean gown. I came back to the side of the bed and helped her take the wet one off and slide the clean one over her head. Then I scooped her up and headed to the hospital. Linking to doc Edwards that we were on the way. "Push, Hope! Oh baby, you are doi
Wyatt I was standing behind the archway. impatiently waiting to see Hope and Leith come toward me. This is the moment that I have been waiting for since the first time I laid eyes on Hope. She was finally going to be all mine. The icing on the cake was that we were going to have a family. Hope's other brother Levi had arrived and turns out he's my sister's mate. I looked over to Talley, who was beaming brightly standing beside Levi. She looked beautiful in her soft pink gown. Jack and Pearl were standing to my right, and Archie and Isabella were to my left. The music I had chosen began to softly play, and my heart skipped a beat. This was it. I felt a little unsure about my appearance. I didn't usually do tuxedos, but this was a special occasion. I just hope that my mate would like it. I tugged nervously at my collar. The doors to the back of the ballroom opened, and Hope and Leith appeared in the doorway. Hope looked absolutely amazing. The dress was beautiful on her, thou
Hope My mother, Pearl, Talley, and Isabella were all gathered around me. Each of them were doing something to my face and hair. I was enjoying being pampered, but I was also ready to get on with this shin dig. William had been very restless. I have to keep shifting in the chair and adjusting us. Isabella was telling us that she had just found out she was pregnant. I was happy for her, but I was not envious of the 1st trimester's sickness that was plaguing her at the moment. I told her not to bother with the seltzer water and crackers because they don't work. I was thankful when they were done looking at the mirror in myself. I had to admit. I was quite stunning. Pearl had put my hair in a 1/2 down half up updo and put little rhinestones along the sides. I still insisted on very light makeup. Who wants to take all that stuff off at the end of the night? I was just about to get up and have them help me get into my gown when there was a knock at my door. I looked to the 3 ladies
Wyatt Hope had been quietly sitting on our bed, lost in her thoughts when I got back from my office. I went and picked her up cradle style and settled us back down onto the bed. "Good morning, beautiful." I said to her, placing a soft kiss to the side of her face. "Did you enjoy your bubble bath this morning?" "I sure did. Would you like to give me another one?" I chuckled as much as I would like to do that. We don't have time right now. I wanted Hope to see the ballroom before tonight's ceremony. And of course, I wanted to talk to William. I placed my hand on her belly, and my boy gave me a swift kick. "Easy there, little one," I said to him. "You're going to kick a whole in your mommy." "He has been very active this morning. I think he is excited, too." Hope said smiling, putting her hands over my mine. " Take a walk with me, little mate." I said, pulling her to her feet and wrapping my arms around her waist. We made our way to the ballroom, and Hope's eyes lit up.
Hope It was finally the day of my Luna ceremony. I have never been so nervous before in my entire life. Wyatt had gone above and beyond with my gown and my jewelry. But he always does when it comes to me, and he keeps saying I am the one who never ceases to amaze him. I was served breakfast in bed with strict instructions not to lift a finger to do anything today. My mate had given me a bubble bath, which, of course, he wound up joining me in. I have never made love in water before, but it was definitely something I would do again. My belly is swelling rather rapidly. Our pup is very active. I can't seem to keep my hands off of my mid-section. Neither can Wyatt. I remember the day in the dining hall when Jack was talking to Cayden. Wyatt had laughed at him, but he does the same thing now. Except Wyatt sings to our little boy. That is what we are having a precious little baby boy. Doctor Edwards, did the ultrasound a couple of days ago. We have finished his nursery, and Wyatt h
Wyatt When we finally got home. Everyone was geared up for the Luna ceremony. I insisted Hope stay in bed and rest for a few days. Of course, I had to stay there with her to keep her satisfied. But it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. She was recovering well and growing bigger every day. Doc Edwards had given her and our pup a clean bill of health. Though neither of us knew really what to expect. We were excited for the months to come. Jack and Pearl had a brand new baby boy they had named Cayden. Pearl had brought him to see Hope since she wasn't allowed to leave our bedroom. He looked just like Jack. I was happy for them. We still hadn't told anyone about our child being the magical source to end all sources. I told Hope it was up to her how much we divulged and when and to whom. I could careless myself. I just wanted to be a daddy. We would find out soon if it was a boy or a girl, Hope was excited. Brody had found Jacob's body inside the Hard Dick's in Durwood, mauled
Wyatt I stepped out of Hope's cell just as Cordia was hitting the bottom step. She looked at me with cold death in her eyes, I raised my hands out to my sides and winked at her as if to say hit me with your best shot bitch. I had already told Jaxs what I wanted him to do. I really hoped this worked. Cordia floated towards me, raising her hands in the air. She let the lightning bolts fly. They hit us square in the chest. I stumbled backward, not stopping until we hit the wall and slid down. My chest was on fire, but I have a high tolerance for pain. I called to Hope she was standing in the middle of the cell staring at us. I called to her again, and she stepped forward. Cordia was coming closer to me. She raised her hands and shocked me again. I screamed in pain. It was a little dramatic, but I was hoping it would do the trick. Hope came out of the cell and positioned herself between Cordia and I. "Leave my mate alone, Cordia!" She said, but it was not Hope's voice any longer.
Wyatt, Leith, and Leo- Cordia's Layer As soon as I read the spell to reveal Cordia's layer, the structure appeared before us out of the side of a huge mountain. So did the 5 rouge werewolves laying in front of the entrance. I had never been so happy to see rogues in my entire life. I shifted, and Jaxs took great pleasure in ripping them to shreds. Dean and Angus just let him go while watching our backs. Now that the magical protection had been lifted, I tried to use the mind link to reach Hope, remembering what Abigail had said about finding her. Before I had the chance to open the link, we were being attacked by what I can only describe as demonic minions. They were jumping on our shoulders from off the ceiling and morphing out of the damn walls! The 3 of us were holding our own against them. The problem was that the little bastards were too fast for us to get a good hold on them. I threw the potion Hannah had given me to put the freeze on like Hope does. It worked, we shifted,
Hope Cordia hasn't been to visit me recently. I wish I could tell if it was night or day. Not that it would matter, I suppose. As crazy as it sounds, I am beginning to wish she would come. At least I would know she hadn't left me to die down here. Since telling me she wanted my pup, she hasn't been back. I still hadn't figured out how I was going to stop her from taking the baby once it is born, but I still have a few months to figure that out. The one thing I have is plenty of time to think. I know it may come down to me having no choice but to embrace the full capacity of my powers. And that scares me. It always has. I haven't used my explosions in so long, I don't even know if I can anymore. But I will try my best to blast that bitch to kngdom come before, I allow her to take my child if, I die trying then so be it. It is a family tradition, after all. I needed to try, but I was afraid of her catching me, so instead, I dropped my head into my hands and began to cry. That's
