“What?”Both women turned towards the direction the voice had come from, finding Kade in the doorway, his steel eyes boring into Dagmar with outrage. He had left early that morning assuming he could trust Dagmar not to do or say anything stupid, but he should have known this was a foolish assumption on his part. When had Dagmar ever not meddled in matters that weren’t her business? But to suggest that Thalia rid herself of her unborn children? That was perhaps the last thing Kade expected his old caregiver to suggest.“Don’t look at me like that, mutt!” Dagmar snapped, gnarled hands on her heavy hips as she glared back at Kade with just as much venom. “Those babies are normal wolf pups. They have darkness in their blood and souls. They are dangerous. They will always be struggling against that part of themselves that is borne from their hellish bloodline. And they will lose!

When Kade had mentioned caravans, Thalia wasn't sure what to expect. As a kid she had seen plenty of tourists travelling from the likes of Germany or France with caravans or campervans. It seemed a bit claustrophobic but, in the summer, dozens if not hundreds would appear, trundling through the narrow streets of the old towns or villages or parking up in lay-bys near the sea. They were homes on wheels and yet despite being relatively small, they seemed to struggle to traverse the roads and streets of Greece let alone do it with any grace.But what Kade brought Thalia was very different from what she remembered about caravans. It was definitely a caravan, but it had wooden steps and a small veranda attached to it. There were no wheels either. Instead, the large rectangular structure was resting on concrete stilts. It wasn't alone either. There were dozens of similar buildings dotted around the clearing. Surprisingly there were no other people around though.

Lucien sighed and removed his sunglasses, pitch black eyes staring across the landscape, eyes finally coming to land on the abandoned building in the middle of the overgrown field. A cold spring breeze scuttled across the landscape while the sun sat in the sky occasionally ducking behind clouds as they sped across the blue skies, carried onwards by the gales.He would never confess it out loud, but Lucien was indeed impressed by his brother. He had always suspected Dante was capable of many things; however, the art illusion and planning a coup were not on that list. Of course, Lucien didn't have proof on the latter which was why he was here, hoping to have caught his brother off guard and found something to put in front of the council. But it seemed Dante had figured Lucien's plans out and had disappeared like a ghost, taking his illusions and his girls with him.The once grand manor was now nothing more than a bored up shell sur

All this driving or running back and forth was starting to wear Kade down. He never slept well to begin with, but it felt like a week had passed since he last got any semblance of rest. It didn't help that for the last few nights, his mate had been sleeping in the next room or just upstairs. The mate bond tugged at his instincts and thoughts continuously. It felt like post-drinking anxiety which was trying to grow the more he ignored it. It was safe to say that the mate-bond and the lack of sleep were making him very cranky. It took everything in him not to lose his temper when Daniel had called him and told him to come back to the patch house by the following morning. He just wanted one day where he wasn't running around after murderers or arguing with witches about pregnant mates. He really could do with just one day where all he had to focus on was Thalia and what exactly he was going to do about his exotic mate. It was late when he made it back to the holiday park. He had walke

Kade didn't want to leave.He had been watching Thalia sleep for nearly an hour now, her body curled into his like a perfect fit. Her dark hair was splayed over her naked shoulder and the pillow while thick lashes cuddled her cheeks. She was heavenly like a goddess and Kade couldn’t work out how this beautiful being was fated to him of all creatures.The night before was still fresh in Kade's mind even after managing to get a few hours of sleep. Thalia was still mark free and a virgin but that hadn't stopped them from exploring each other more. The moment Thalia explained she was still a virgin, Kade had decided that she deserved her first time to be somewhere better than a static caravan in the Yorkshire dales. Kade wasn't good at getting things right but this he was determined to get right. Thalia deserved it and everything else that came with courting a mate.Thalia's eyes fluttered open just then, h

Kade had learnt a lot of things over the years in the military, as a beta and worse but one of the few important lessons Kade had learned was never let the bad guy see that they caught you off guard.It wasn't easy to learn but Kade's natural facial expression was either annoyed or emotionless anyway. He had compensated a lot through the years with smart arse comments, sarcasm and cheekiness when it came to his inner circle. But it was all a front, a way to keep people at a distance. Sure, there would always be a few people who saw right through the act but, so long as the bad guys didn't see that they had gotten a reaction from you then you were doing well.So that's why, when Lucien Connaught introduced himself and brought up Thalia, Kade didn't so much as bat an eyelid. Instead, he remained silent as he picked up his mug of whiskey with a shot of coffee and took a large gulp. He knew Lucien wasn't alone. Another group had walk

Kade had been shot before, but he'd never been shot twice in as many days.The cluster fuck of a situation started when he was patrolling with Eva, and they had been ambushed. Both Eva and Kade had been shot but neither wound was fatal. Whoever pulled the trigger clearly didn't know what they were doing but they knew enough to get two hits in before Eva had shifted and pinned one of the culprits down.Now, a rogue called Ian was being shipped to a safehouse after promising to reveal the identity of their murderer in exchange for protection.As for Kade, he had been able to get some information of this witch they were seeking. He knew he wouldn't get to talk to her because she was dead, but he hoped he would find some clues as to who had hired her and why. It meant he could also take a slight detour and see Thalia, a notion that had Legion growling with approval and excitement. Damned dog was practically

Kade was gone.Thalia barely registered the mobile phone falling from her fingers and clattering to the floor or her legs giving out underneath her. Kade was gone. He was dead and Thalia had been clueless.She had barely known him and yet Thalia's heart was shattering like thousands of pieces of glass. The agony of loss radiated through her like a bullet wound, bleeding poison into her veins and paralysing her mind. It didn't feel real. They had only just found each other against all the odds and now Kade had been snatched away.Thalia remembered the last morning Kade had been here, the warmth of his lips on hers as he kissed her goodbye and how he promised he would be back. His large hand had cupped her cheek and she had fallen into those grey eyes willingly. She had wanted to remember every little detail about them while also hoping that time would pass quickly so she could gaze into her mate's eyes a

The Hellhound Beta's Pregnant Mate Epilogue
Fourteen years laterThe sun had long since set but the air was still sticky and thick with summer heat. The humidity had been building for days and now the low rumble of brontide echoed through the darkness with its promise of cooler temperatures to come. Despite the impending storm, the group of friends were still playing under the glow of the light coming from the giant packhouse. Nearly every window and door were open to let in fresh air in hopes of getting a cool breeze. Two males and two females pranced barefoot over the manicured grass as their laughter echoed and bounced against the fortress of trees that flanked the packhouse estate. In just a few days, the four young wolves would be travelling to the nearby facility to finish their training as warriors. Their excitement was palpable and was what spurred their excitable moods. While three would likely go on to become warriors, the fourth had had her destiny mapped out for her from the moment she was conceived.The future Que

By the time the weather had turned and the first storms off the North Sea began to batter the land, the house was ready to welcome not just Kade and Thalia but two little pups as well. Thalia had been lucky that she hadn’t struggled too much with the pregnancy thus far but, the two weeks leading up to her due date had been hard work. Her stomach and ankles seemed to be in a competition to see which could swell the most while her lower back and hips hurt constantly to the point that she struggled to sleep. In the end she was relegated to bed rest by Simone while Kade insisted on making sure everything else was done. For Thalia it had been torture but being pregnant with one child was never easy. Being pregnant two twins was doubly hard on the body."I thought you were given strict orders to stay in bed." Kade spoke up when he came in that evening to find Thalia pacing the living room, his playful smirk disappearing when he saw his mate’s frantic face. "Thalia?" "My waters broke." Tha

One month laterAdapting to life in a pack again, especially one that Thalia had never been a part of before, was a lot easier than she thought it would be. True to everything Kade, Daniel and Eva told her, the pack had welcomed her with open arms and didn't once cast her a judging look or a pitying glance when they learned of what she had endured. They even seemed okay with the fact her children weren't Kade's offspring or that they had demon blood in them. The pack regarded them as pups and asked her the usual questions a mothers-to-be endured. The Indian summer brought cooler nights but sun drenched days which the pack's pups were keen to enjoy by running through sprinklers or playing in the long grass that filled the meadows around them. The Pack's doctor, a woman by the name of Simone, insisted on regular check ups to make sure Thalia was doing okay and ensure there were no complications. Between that and spending time with Eva, Thalia had very little time to dwell. In the even

Kade let Thalia storm away. Arguing with her right now wasn't going to fix the hurt and the betrayal. He very much doubted that Thalia meant what she said and Kade was going to make sure that when the time came, she would be able to reach out to her family and not regret turning her back on those who had been innocently caught up in their alpha's web of lies. "She's a fiery one." Lucien's voice broke the silence. "The moon goddess chose wisely." "We shall see if Thalia agrees with you in time." Kade replied, turning to face the angel. "I'm not convinced that the local council of Alphas will be much use here. Do you think you could find out who helped Castor kidnap the girls? If any of Thalia's brothers were involved, then I don't want the Alpha title being passed to them.""Agreed." Lucien nodded. "I will also do what I can to find the other females taken the night Thalia was." "Thanks.""No, thank you, Lieutenant." The corner of Lucien's lip tilted in his signature smirk. "If it

“Thalia, are you sure this is a good idea?” Kade asked for what felt like the hundredth time since Thalia had announced she wanted to travel to Greece. The whole thing sounded like an awful idea, but Kade had seen the resolute hardness in his mate’s eyes. She would not be able to move on from these until she saw the truth for herself. It didn’t matter that what she would find would potentially hurt her beyond repair. She had made up her mind and all Kade could do was be there for her. Still, it didn’t hurt to try and get her to stop and think this through a little more. The beta watched from his seat on the edge of their bed as Thalia packed a few essentials for her trip. Night had descended only an hour before, but the air was still heavy with summer heat and the tiny flames hovering over several candles quivered whenever the warm breeze rolled in through the doors that led onto a balcony. Given everything she had been through, Thalia ought to be resting but she wouldn’t listen, n

It had only been a week since Dante had been killed and his plans to destroy the world had come to an end and yet that all seemed like a lifetime ago now that Thalia was sat in the sunroom of Lucien’s north England manor, a warm breeze danced lazily through the large French doors that open out onto the sprawling grounds. Everything was so green and luscious. It was a vast difference from the sun baked earth and salty air Thalia had grown up with.They had left Prague once Priyanka had given birth and before the local authorities caught up with them. Laila’s brother thankfully was able to use his powers as a police officer to distract the Czech police and the group had slipped away quietly. Thalia hadn’t been surprised when Lucien had managed to transport them back to his manor safely, nor was she surprised by the team of doctors and nurses waiting for them to whisk Priyanka and her premature baby away for medical attention.Thalia didn’t want to trust Lucien’s intentions given his rel

"It's too early for the baby to come out!" Jennifer shouted over Priyanka's cries of pain. "We need to get her to a hospital!""Well, that's what I'm trying to do but since I don't know where we are that is proving a little tricky!" Svetlana yelled back from the driver's seat, looking over her shoulder to glare at the blonde. "Please keep your eyes on the road!" Thalia barked, grabbing the wheel to right it when they started to drift into oncoming traffic. "Just keep heading towards the city. We will find signs for the hospital soon." "I don't understand why this is happening." Priyanka whimpered, her eyes wide with fear. "Just breathe," Miriam reassured the distressed woman, brushing her sweat-soaked hair off of her forehead. "We will find a hospital and the doctors will do everything they can for you."They had been trying to find a way into the city for nearly an hour and despite her waters only just breaking, Priyanka's labour was progressing rapidly, and Thalia was worried the

“Holy shit! What the hell happened in here?” Mully’s voice couldn’t have been any less welcomed as it split through the brittle silence and echoed through the rubble. What had once been a rather generic looking waiting room designed in the same way as a corporate hotel lobby now resembled a bombed out building in some worn-torn country. Mully had seen plenty of scenes like this but none with so much blood and caused by supernatural beings battling it out. The first thing that was clear was that this part of the building was ready to collapse. Thick chunks of concrete and plaster had already begun to fall onto the mess of what appeared to be bodies and the steel framework was completely bent back or hanging like the broken bones on a skeleton. Furniture had been completely decimated and was now strewn across the floor as shards of broken wood and split cushions. Amongst it though was the mildly terrifying form of the fallen-angel and Kade’s broken body. Between them was a pitch blac

Kade prepared for the impact. There was nowhere to go so he readied to feel the demon’s talons slice through his skin. He had the dagger in his hand, ready to plunge it into the heart of the demon. If he was going to die, then he was taking the ugly sonofabitch with him. Yet the searing pain of being impaled on the razor-sharp claws never came. Dante had descended on Kade with all his fury but when he was a hair’s breadth from the were-wolf, something sent the giant beast sailing backwards. Kade watched in confusion as the demon crashed into a wall but not before he took out one of the supporting columns sending chunks of concrete flying like shrapnel. The whole building shuddered violently when the beast hit the wall, cracks spreading across the plaster like fork-lightning from where Dante impacted with the wall. “Kade!”The beta snapped out of his daze, silver eyes snapping to the owner of the voice only to widen. Where Lucien had once stood was a creature similar in size to Dante
