Bradley POV
I wake late in the night. Kendra is asleep still on top of me., her head resting sweetly on my chest. I seem to have stopped growing. I know I must be a foot taller. No one has come back to check on me. If they did and looked on us sleeping, I know they would not dare come in.She makes me feel something I have never felt before. I would have given my life to protect her tonight from Tobias. I wonder if he knew I was his son. Actually, I do not give a fuck if he knew or not. I am only happy that he is dead. Now, maybe my mother and Kendra can live out their lives peacefully.The vampires went to take out the moon pack tonight. Even if they take all of the wolves out, there will be others just like the wolves doing the same thing to others. No one is safe. Now I have triggered my wolf gene. I do not want to be like the moon pack. Chuck has reassured me that many wolf packs are not like the moon pack. He has even encouraged me to seek other packs out if I waBradley POVKendra stays close to me most of the night. The vampires work on a solid plan to capture Alpha. She becomes tired, and eventually, I take her back to her cabin to rest. Mother relocates Stephie and Tete to another cabin. Kendra will have one to herself from now on. This arrangement works great for me if I want to see her privately. I want to do something for her. I know all of this has her stressed out. I have no idea what she would like, but I need to think of something for tomorrow. Maybe I could take her to the beach for a picnic. She loves the water. I stand outside her cabin, watching the activity from the vampires.“Are you worried?” Mother asks me. “Not really; I am worried about her but not about whether or not the vampires can catch Alpha,” I say.“They will get him; I have no doubt. Everyone is settled in for the night. I used some of the older cabins. Not the best place to have to stay, but it puts
Kendra POVI am outside the cabin. My head is fuzzy from where Alpha slammed me into the ground. I am having trouble focusing. Alissa is with Chuck and me. The vampires are going into the cabin to help Bradley fight off Alpha. They do not want to get in the middle of a wolf fight for obvious reasons. Alpha is in his complete wolf form. Bradley is struggling. I do not want to watch him die tonight. I cannot bear it. I think I may be in love with him or something close to it. I cannot take another heartache right now. “We need to help him,’ I say.I start to make my way into the cabin. The vampire Andrea stops me. “He will transform; just wait,” Andrea says.“How can you be so sure?” I ask.“He has to learn on his own; he will transform, if for no other reason, to protect you,” Andrea says.I stand outside. It sounds brutal in the cabin. I am terrified for him. He does not deserve any of this. I can h
Bradley POVI lay beside Kendra, watching her sleep. I wonder if she is part wolf. Maybe we are fated to be mates somehow. How strange and wonderful that would be if she came from a wolf pack somehow? I hope Andrea has some news for her soon. I want her to marry me soon. I do not want to wait. I have to tell mother and Chuck first thing. I think mom and Chuck will both be happy for us. All the things that have collided in the last few days to bring us together as a family have to be some sort of fate. She landed here needing help when she could have stopped anywhere along her route. She is everything I need in my life; I hope I can be that for her.“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Kendra says softly.I stroke her hair. “I was thinking about how amazing it is that you came into my life,” I say to her.She throws her arms over me and gently squeezes me. “You saved me in more ways than one,” Kendra says.“I thou
Bradley POVKendra and I have decided to get married today. There is no need to wait. We are both crazy about one another. She woke me up several times through the night, having her way with me. She was mad horny all night. She finally had enough and has been asleep since. I get out of bed to make some arrangements with my mother and Chuck for the day. We do not need much, only someone to marry us. We can have a bigger wedding at a later date if that is what she wants. All of the vampires have left the cabins. There are several women still here from the moon pack. They could help put together a lovely wedding for us if they feel up to it. I go into my mother and Chuck’s cabin to discuss things with them.“Hey, we want to get married today,” I say to mother. She is cooking for all of our guests.“I think I can handle that. Where is Kendra?” Mother asks.“She is sleeping,” I say.“It doesn&rsquo
Bradley POVI walk out of the cabin to give myself a break from Kendra and get her something to eat. I would never have thought a heat from a half-wolf could be so draining. I notice mother and Chuck talking to several rather large men. My mother begins rushing to me. What the hell is going on now?“Bradley, there are men here who say that you are now Alpha of the Moon pack. You killed the Alpha that makes you Alpha,” My mother says in a panic.“What? I do not want to be their Alpha,” I say.The men make their way to me. They are both vast wolves but nowhere my size. I stand tall as they approach. They both are at least a foot below me in height. “Bradley, I am Jacob, and this is my brother Joe. We are part of the council of wolves,” Jacob says.“I know why you are here. I do not want to be an Alpha,” I say.“You do not have a choice. You took his life, and now you must take control of the pack
Kendra POVBradley leaves me alone. I know he needs a break from me. I cannot help it. When I am close to him, I have this burning fire deep within my body. I want him inside me. I crave his seed. I am having a hard time understanding that I am a wolf. I don’t believe it. I look in the mirror and see my new eyes looking back at me. I have seen those eyes before. I don’t want to even think about who my father was or why I was given up for adoption. Joe said I was given up to be protected. I wonder if it was from the Alpha of the Moon Pack. Does any of this even matter? I love Bradley. Fated to mate or not, I know my feelings for him are real. I want to be with him. If he needs to be Alpha, then I will be his mate and help him. If he does not want to be Alpha, then I will stand by that decision too. No matter what he decides, I will back him up. I hear someone outside my door. I don’t give them the chance to knock. I have had enough surprises t
Kendra POVI am so nervous. Bradley comes back from his meeting with Jacob and Joe. I am waiting for him. As soon as I see him, my body begins to shiver with an unbelievable longing for him to mate with me. “Are you ready?” I ask him.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Bradley asks me. “I am,” I say.I pick up the stones. I place one around his neck and the other around mine. “She said these would make us turn,” I say.“Come on, let’s go outside,” Bradley says.We go out of the cabin and start walking toward the water. He holds my hand as we walk.“Feel anything yet?” Bradley asks me.“Nope, you?” I ask.“Nope,” Bradley says.“Maybe it is not working,” I say.Bradley pulls me into his arms. “I love you, Kendra,” Bradley says. He leans down to kiss me. My desire for him begins to burn more vi
Kendra POV“GOT HIM!” I hear someone scream from the road. “Bradley!” I scream. He does not move. I push him off of me. It is not easy, but I manage to get him off of me. My husband has been shot. “Can you hear me?” I ask him.“Yes,” he says weakly. “I need to go get help,” I say.I do not want to leave him here alone. I run to the road. Whoever shot him is long gone. I begin screaming as I am running for the cabins. His mother and Chuck are both running in our direction.“We heard a shot. Are you okay?” She hollers toward me.“No! It is Bradley! Hurry!” I scream.Alissa keeps running toward me. Chuck turns to go back to the cabin. Alissa and I both sit next to Bradley.“How does it look?” I ask her.“Chuck will know what to do, don’t worry, he will be fine,” Alissa says.“Son, can you hear me?” A
Kendra POVToday I will finally marry Bradley in an actual ceremony on the beach just like I wanted. Too bad I am due any day. It took forever to get all of Bradley’s family to agree on a date for the wedding. I was patient and did not fuss. I would never give Alissa an issue over the marriage. I gave her complete control. She turned the cabins over to Bradley and me to run while she was still healing from her broken shoulder. We moved into the cabin with the front office, and Chuck and Alissa moved to a cabin at the rear of the property. She is ready to be free, I can tell. Alissa helped me set up a nursery, pick out names, and decorate my house. She has done more for me than anyone has ever done for me in my life, well, except Bradley. Bradley has given me my life back. I hope he is happy. He says he is happier than he has ever been in his life. He is crazy excited about the baby coming. I am miserable and ready for the baby to come. We decided not to find o
Bradley POVKendra is silent on the ride back from the doctor. I stayed in the lobby to give her privacy. I thought there might be things she would want to discuss with the doctor that she did not want me to hear. Her time with the wolves and what they did to her is not something I want her to discuss with me until she is ready. When she came out of the exam room, she said nothing. She took my hand and walked out. Whatever is bothering her, she will talk with me about it when she is ready to discuss it. I will not push her. I love her and do not want to be like anyone else has been to her. When we get to the cabin, she gets out of the car and goes straight in. I help my mother into her cabin. Her shoulder is broke in two places. She will have to wear a sling for six weeks, but she is still hot to plan our wedding. Nothing is going to stop her from what she wants. I leave my mother and go back to the cabin. I sit beside Kendra on the couch. She looks up at me w
Kendra POVI leave Bradley in the cabin while I check on Alissa and Chuck. I hope they are both okay. I cannot wait to tell them how well Bradley is doing. I cannot believe how unbelievably happy I am right now. I knock on the cabin door before I enter. No one says anything. I decide to go in and check on the two of them. Chuck meets me as I come into the kitchen.“How is she?” I ask him.“She is okay. Alissa is no spring chicken. That blow from the stun gun was hard on her. I think her shoulder is broke from the fall. I will take her to the doctor when she wakes up,” Chuck says.“I only wanted to check on the two of you; I do not want to intrude,” I say.“You are family now. You will never be an intrusion,” Chuck says.I hug Chuck. “Thank you for saying that. I feel like I belong here,” I say.“Good, because I think that it is time for Alissa and me to travel maybe. We should
Bradley POVI pull myself out of bed to see what is happening. There is a blood pool at the door. It hurts like hell to move, but I have to make sure everyone is okay. I manage to get both feet on the floor. I grab ahold of the bed to use it to help me stand. When I get to my feet, I steady myself and slowly make my way across the floor. It is not easy, but I have to check on Kendra. My body burns from where they removed the bullet, but I know I can do this.I finally make it to the door. “Kendra! Mother! Chuck!” I scream. I hold onto the door looking outside. The blood pool has turned into drag marks. I see Kendra over my mother. “Is she okay?” I scream to her.“Yes,” Kendra says.“What the hell happened?’ I ask her.She says something to my mother lying on the ground and comes to me. “You need to get back in the bed,” Kendra demands. She puts her arms around me and helps me
Sherry POVI arrive at the cabin to pick the little bitch up. I hope her stupid ass is still wearing the necklace. It will make it easier for me to control her. I will take her back to the wolf pack, and we will lock her ass up. We can use her for breeding wolves. My sister and Kendra both carry an exceptional gene. We need it to breed ultimate fighting wolves. Well, my sister carried it until I slaughtered her right after she gave birth to Kendra. My stupid husband wants a treaty amongst the wolves. Fuck that! I only have Joe in my life for the connections he can give me. Being married to an elite vampire has its advantages and allows me to do as I please. Kendra will not take my place as Luna, which could happen if she and the idiot Bradley decide to take over the wolf pack—not going to happen. She will live out her life doing as I tell her. When I am done with her, I will kill her just like I killed her mother.Alissa comes out to meet me as I pull into the
Bradley POVI reach and take her hand. I can tell she is not as excited as I am. I understand after everything she has been through with the wolves. I think she will be a great mother. I hope her excitement will grow.“You don’t have to be happy if you are not. You know you can always be real with me about how you feel,” I say to Kendra.She holds my hand tighter. “Shouldn’t we be concentrating on you and your recovery right now,” Kendra says.“You are more important to me than anything else. Tell me how you feel,” I say to her. She squeezes my hand. “Bradley, I love you. I do not know how or why I fell in love with you so fast, but I did. I am so happy I stopped her. Everything I went through, no matter how horrible it was, led me to you. I am so thankful for that. I will be okay. I only need to adjust to the idea of being a mother,” Kendra says.“I was thinking when I am healed; we sho
Kendra POVI go into the cabin with Alissa. I do not want to leave Bradley behind, but I know I would only be in the way. I need to let Jamie and Andrea work on him. I cannot believe that bitch set us up. Damn wolves! It is always something with wolf bullshit. “You need to make that call to Sherry,” Alissa says.“What should I say?” I ask her.“Just what Chuck told you to say. Tell her Bradley did not make it and that we blame you. Tell her we want you gone and that you need her to come to get you tonight,” Alissa says.“Okay, I can do that,” I say.I go into the main cabin office to make the call. I pick up the phone. I dial the number Sherry gave me for the pack emergency line. I wait for someone to answer. I start to cry as a young voice comes onto the line.“Hi, this is Kendra. I need to speak to Sherry. I have an emergency,” I say into the phone.“Hold please, I will trans
