Hope you enjoyed the extra chapter today. Happy 4th to my fellow Americans.
Dad goes easy on me in training, but it still feels good. As I work to get my body stronger, it is helping to make Artemis stronger as well. She’s back in my mind full time, but not yet strong enough to shift. After training, I skip the bath for a shower, knowing I’ll need time to do my hair and ma
Rik walks up, smiling at my expression. I’m sure I look like I am in awe, and I am. It’s beautiful. He takes my hand and walks us inside. I’m surprised and happy to see Tamara at the hostess stand. She smiles as we walk in. “Alpha, Lu…Cara, welcome to Ethereal.” “Tamara.” I smile at her. “It’s so
I can’t wait to see Cara’s face when we get to Ethereal. I’ve only been here a couple of times with family. I’ve never brought a date. She doesn’t disappoint. The look of wonder on her face is worth it. When we see Tamara, I’m thankful I gave my Alpha command as she almost called Cara ‘Luna’. Thank
What in the world has my girl this embarrassed? I reach out to take her hand. I don’t want her to be embarrassed or uncomfortable telling me anything. Ever. I want her to feel comfortable sharing every part of her life with me. I certainly had no idea such a simple question would elicit this respons
My jealousy toward Jessica is gone pretty quickly. Hard to be jealous of someone that is clearly getting shafted because of you. When Rik asked about something no one else knows about me, the only thing that came to mind was this date. I’m sure there are other things, but my brain and my senses are
Rik answers for both of us. “You’ve both done an amazing job here. The atmosphere, the food, the ambiance, it’s all perfect. I thank you both for making my date with this remarkable woman memorable.” I nod my agreement and they ask if we’d like dessert. Rik tells them we have other plans, and we’ll
This evening could not have gone any better. The dinner, the ambiance, the amazing company, it’s been perfect. Now we’re here at the overlook and the night is gorgeous. It’s a little cool, but that just means I’ll have an excuse to pull Cara closer to me. I’m really interested in what has Artemis p
She slides her nose across my cheek to my ear. I feel her breath a moment before she speaks, and I can feel myself going hard underneath her. “I think you smell better than your mother’s brownies.” Yep, rock hard. I run my nose under her ear before responding. “Can I tell you something?” I whisper.
Hello everyone, Thank you for taking this journey with me. As many of you may have read, Lily was adamant that I tell her story. And while it took longer in the beginning than I expected, I hope you got to see what a great person she is. Many of you have asked for a continuation of the series and
We watch as Angel and Cara explain the best that they can what Grace did to save the packs. She probably could have done it on her own, but I was concerned for her child. Having whatever strength she pulled from everyone was great, but she wasn’t reserving any for herself. She would have given every
I find Angel and I know that Selene was correct. She has no problem following me and I help her find her way back to Liam. Watching him on the hospital bed, begging for her to return to him, I’m thankful that I could help him and Angel reunite. I know the pain of losing my mate, and I would never wi
At first, when the vampire sank his teeth into my neck, I fought. I probably could have defeated him, even in my disadvantaged state. But then, I realized if I died, I’d be with my Lily bud. I feel my tether to everyone in my life break and I tell Lily I’m coming as everything goes dark. When I ope
“That was a really good idea, Lily bud. I’ve thought of that last night away so many times over the years. I should have known. It wasn’t like you to suddenly be so stressed out. But hindsight is always 20/20, isn’t it?” Clint begins training Angel and Alessia and it’s like he has a renewed purpose
I’ve continued to watch the life of my family. I’ve watched my daughter grow into a beautiful woman. She is not only beautiful on the outside, but she’s also beautiful on the inside. Clint has done such a great job raising her, as I knew he would. And I love that he still talks to me at night, as if
For the next few years, I get into a pattern of training Cara. We train early in the morning, then while she is at school, I work on my upper body strength by building and testing the training facilities I’m building for her. It’s a work in progress, but I feel closer to Lily while I build this for
My Lily bud is always here, watching over me and Cara. It changes things for me. It makes the days easier. I have no intention of letting my mate down, so I begin to plan what needs to happen to train my daughter and make her the strongest Guardian alive. That does give me a moment of pause. Guardi
Cyran runs with Artemis for hours. Andra had gone to follow and watch over them and I joined her, watching as Cyran nipped at Artemis’s heels and played with her. He’s really good with her. When they finally returned, Clint and Liam helped her shift back before Liam headed home. She was so excited
