Wyatt. I ended the call with Hope with a ten gallon smile on my face that I couldn't erase. Quickly, I got dressed and headed downstairs. In the dining hall, I found Jack, Pearl, and Archie already sitting down at the table. I smiled at the Omegas, who were serving us, thanking them for breakfast, and then asked that they leave the room. What I was about to drop I wanted to keep private for now. These were the three people I trusted most in the world other than my parents and sister. Jack and Archie raised their eyebrows at me when I asked the Omegas to leave but didn't say a word. I have known Jack since we were kids he is more like a brother to me than just my Beta. Before he met Pearl, we did everything under the sun together two young men didn't have any business doing. If there was trouble to be found, we'd find it. He was my best friend, and I knew he was loyal to me to a fault. If there is anyone who would understand it was Jack. Archie is Jack's cousin. I haven't known hi
Hope After hanging up with Wyatt, I tried to go about my daily routine. I puddled around in the kitchen. Washed a few dishes. Fed my cat. Took out the trash. Just anything to keep my mind off of what's to come. After my little apartment was spotless, there was nothing left for me to do except get ready. I had taken a shower and washed my hair. I added a little mouse to bring out the curls. I chose a simple rose pattern sundress with narrow straps and paired it with a pair of white sandals. I pulled the top part of my hair up and secured it with a barraet. I didn't wear a lot of makeup as my norm and didn't want to appear fake, so I just stuck with the usual masscarra and light eye shadow. Looking in the mirror, I was satisfied with my appearance. There was only one thing left I wanted to do before heading to Wyatt's pack. I picked up my phone and dialed Leo's number. "Hey, Hope, wow, two calls in as many days. To what do I owe the honor?" "Leo, I need your help." Instantly,
Wyatt I had been pacing by the grand windows in the foyer for what seemed to be hours. Finally, Jack had come in and decided to join me out of pity, perhaps. It was beginning to look as though I had been stood up. "Did you call her?" He asked me. "Three times. I am going to try to get her to agree with the mind link. That way, I will know where she is at all times. Did you have a chance to look over the files I gave you?" "Of course. You were right about Gary and Larry. From the day they died in 1962, there is nothing no trace of them whatsoever until they suddenly reappeared in 2022. There is no other explanation unless someone has found a way to resurrect the dead. They have assumed the identities of the two infants, whoever they are. Hope didn't know any of this.?" "If she did, she's a real good liar, but I intend to find out. She is keeping a lot of secrets from me. She says she doesn't want me involved for fear I could get hurt." "And you don't believe her?" "I don
Hope Wyatt's home was absolutely exquisite and so large. I thought a person could get lost in here for days, and nobody would even know. There had to be at least 15, maybe 20 bedrooms. My father's pack house was nice and comfortable, but it was nothing like this. It looked like a grand palace straight out of a magazine. Wyatt led me down a long corridor, and the walls were covered with magnificent works of art. I could only imagine how much they cost. His office was the size of my whole apartment. There was a full bar. A private bathroom and closet space. A huge mahogany desk held his computer and all the latest technical equipment you could imagine. There was a beautiful bay window with a comfy looking oversized chair in front of it in the corner of the room. A long conference table sat in the middle of the room. That's where we were headed. Another man entered the room. I recognized him immediately as the other man who'd been with Wyatt last night. Wyatt turned us around. He
WyattSeeing 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 O
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 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 the face
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 kn
Wyatt I didn't have to be looking at Hope to know she was crying. I tightened my grip on her and kissed her face. I could feel Jaxs coming forward to comfort Miana as well. "I had no idea you felt this way, Daddy." She said with a small voice. "That's because you never gave me a chance. You were always so withdrawn from us. Then you just took off and refused to speak to me. What else was I supposed to do. I have always hoped you would come back to us. I believe I have Wyatt to thank for the fact that you have." "I am sorry, Daddy. I never meant to hurt you. I do need your help, but I also hope we can be a family again too. You are right. Wyatt has changed a lot in me he loves me unconditionally and has made me believe I am worthy of such love." "That's all you had to say, Mandalynn. What do you need from me?" "Do you still keep in touch with Uncle Brody?" "Yes, of course. Why? What does he have to do with Abigail's murder?" "Nothing. The creatures I believe killed my m
WyattAfter eating breakfast and meeting Rose, Hope and I headed up to my office. When we got inside, I closed the door and took Hope into my arms. I could feel her nervousness. I rubbed her shoulders and kissed her forehead. "It's going to ok, I promise. Regardless, we will find a way I am not going to give you or the life we are building together up without a fight." I led her over to the desk, and we sat in our usual way. Hope had decided she didn't want to do this over the phone line, so I suggested we use the internet. She texted Leo the link to Harris Enterprises, and within a few clicks, his face appeared on my laptop. "Hope? Is everything ok?" "Yes, Leo, I am fine. There is someone I would like you to meet. Leo, this is my mate Alpha Wyatt Harris." She said, turning her head so Leo could see my mark. "No introduction needed. "Well, well, my big sister, a marked and mated woman. I am impressed, Alpha Wyatt, and I am very happy for you both." "Thank you, Leo, but there
Wyatt It was amazing to see the transformation in Archie. He is kind and gentle, with Isabella patiently waiting for her Wolf to come back. He sat down beside her and feathered his knuckles across her face, and kissed her temple. The awww that came from the girls apparently boosted his bravo because he took her hand and laced their fingers together. Jack took a seat beside Pearl after kissing his mate he began to rub her belly while talking gibberish to their pup inside her. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the big bad ass Beta Jack cooing and making kissing sounds. I never thought I'd see the day when all 3 of the leaders of this pack would be contently mated with our other half, but here we were. Now, it was up to us to keep it together. I suspected that once Hope contacted her father, the ball was going to start rolling rather quickly. I only hoped we were ready. I know if I had a daughter. I would move heaven and hell to protect her. And I had no doubt that Alpha
Wyatt I couldn't wait to get back to Hope. I had been away from her too long. I was beginning to feel the effects of not being in her presence. Jaxs was feeling it, too. He had started snapping at my warriors. Warrior training wasn't a good time, but it was a necessary evil. My warriors are strong and fearless in battle, but I want to keep them on top of their game, especially now when so much was at steak. Hope had asked me if she could come to training and spar with the warriors. But I had to tell her no, not because I doubt her abilities or skills I don't. I am sure she puts the same level of determination into her fighting as she does everything else. But nor do I doubt Jaxs response if someone was to hurt her intentionally or not, and I just can't afford to lose any man right now. Last night with Hope was incredible after we took Jaxs and Miana out for a while, as promised. I laid my mate down in a field of wildflowers. For the first time, Hope allowed me to make love to he
Hope I have been so anxious about contacting my father. I can't eat. I can't sleep. Wyatt has Hard Dick's under constant surveillance, which isn't helping. I know at any moment we could be at war with the brothers. Wyatt and I had sex last night. A lot. Jaxs and Miana had behaved much better than us. I know he wouldn't do it on purpose, but I am not sure he used protection every time. I know it would make him a happy man for me to be pregnant, but the thought of it scares me. The last thing I want is to die fighting and either take my pup with me or leave him or her behind without a mother. It's just that I can't help myself from wanting him it's a constant need for me to be close to him or have his dick pulsating inside me. I am like a crack head, and he is my dealer. I suppose you are supposed to feel that way about your mate. If the situation was different, if we weren't waiting for the worst. I would be more than happy to give him anything he wanted. Wyatt had gotten up earl
ArchieI was so nervous to be alone with Isabella, which didn't make any sense. I have been with lots of women, and I never felt anything. It was just a fuck, a way to get my pleasure. It is different being with Isabella. She has the most alluring aroma. She smells like a warm summer day and wild flowers. It is driving Axel crazy. But it is more than just being attracted to her smell. It is everything about her, the way she smiles, the way her hair hangs unruly around her face, the adorable way her cheeks flush when I give her a compliment. I actually care what she thinks of me. I want her to like me. I want her to accept me. For the first time in my life, I only want one thing, and it is Isabella. We had walked about a mile or so far. I was pointing out the different sections of the pack and explaining each of their functions. I know I was probably boring her, but I have never been someone's mate before, so I didn't know what I was doing. If she were one of my regulars we'd alrea
Gary and Larry "Did you find her?" Gary asked when Larry came back to his office?" Larry lifted his arms out to the sides to show he wasn't hiding the girl under his armpits. "Obviously not. I told you it was bad business having Harris and his werewolves here." "What makes you think Harris had anything to do with it? We were with him and his Beta the whole time. If you had put up the damn security cameras like I told you to, we would know where she is." Larry rolled his eyes. "Would you please give the fucking camera thing a rest? That's exactly my point. How many guys come in here to chit-chat with us? Harris didn't even look at a female. Last time, he went straight to VIP. You don't find it just a bit suspicious, that our newest recruit, who is a werewolf, that you shot with a fucking tranquilizer dart, on the fucking edge of Harris's pack lands, no less disappears, shackles and all, the same night that he's here talking up a storm with us?" "If she was one of his. And he
Hope was able to get Archie talked down by the time the others came into the office. His breathing had returned to normal, and his eyes were no longer black. As soon as Isabella walked into the office. He went straight to her side, and that's where he stayed. After everyone had eaten there fill and the Omegas had cleared the table. It was time to get back down to business. "How are you feeling, Isabella?" Hope asked. "I am ok. I just feel weird without my wolf." "Have you felt her at all?" Archie asked. "No. But Dr. Edwards said it took a while. Rose is strong she will come back to me." "That's your wolf's name, Rose?" Archie asked. Isabella nodded yes. "Isabella, we need to get back into the club. If we are going to help the other women, Wyatt said. Is there anything you can tell us that might help?" "I wasn't there long, but it seemed during the day the two of them went dormant. It was the only time we got any peace, I would say the daylight hours would be your best c
Jaxs was jumping around in my head at the thought of being with Miana even if they couldn't mate yet. He promised he would be a good boy. So Hope and I set a time for them later on. "What did Archie say to you at the hospital?" I asked, trying to keep her talking. She smiled. "He thanked me for saving his mate." "Archie, as someone's mate, I can't imagine it." "I bet he would have said the same thing about you. And just look at you now." She said, smacking me on the ass as we walked through the back door in the kitchen. When we got to the office, the Omegas were bringing in a buffet of food and placing it in the center of the conference table. Once they were done, we thanked them. Hope was showering them praise on how good everything looked. Soon as they were out the door, I took Hope into my arms. This was the first kiss that I'd had since we left our bedroom this morning, so I was feeling greedy. I pressed my lips to hers possessively and urgently. I knew Hope was feeling
