Tori's POVI begin to hyperventilate scared of dying. I pull my wrist as hard as I can the moment, only I see Aaron’s body fall to the floor beside me. “This has gone far enough! Fucking sociopath! Everyone on this council already knows what Hanzo is, and who is mother is. He has been allowed to live as well as your inquisitor Aaron,” Jackson yells as he looks to a very shocked council.“I will not stand by and watch you execute my daughter, the only one left of Aurelia’s family line, thanks to this council.” Jackson adds making me flinch at the idea of being the last of my mother’s family. The council begins to whisper back and forth as I finally pull my wrist apart breaking my restraints. Everyone gasps and steps back as I move to hold my stomach and close my eyes knowing I can’t get away if I try to run.“Please let us go, I’ve never hurt anyone other than the man who killed my mother,” I beg watching them, seeing the sad expressions on their faces. I look to Hanzo who stares at
Hanzo's POV“Oh my god,” Tori cries as her entire body shudders under the hot water. I grab her hand and rub her back in attempt to comfort her. “Hey, I’m right here,” I whisper pulling her into my arms and hold her as close as I can.“I’m sorry you have to leave your home,” Tori apologizes looking up towards the shower head with her eyes closed, I grab a sponge and begin to wash her, my heart breaks seeing the condition of her bruised body.“This is just a house, we will build a new home together and we’ll have our family,” I reassure as my hand stops over her navel, I try to imagine what it will feel like for our baby to grow and kick.“Do you want this?” She questions holding my hand as I pull her back against me and hold her tight. “I never thought I’d get this chance, you?” I ask pulling her chin up to look me in the eye, wanting to know if it’s something she wants. “I was always told I couldn’t get pregnant like a regular woman. I don’t even know if I’m capable of being a mom a
Tori's POV“Where are we going to move to?” I question after resting outside for a few hours. “I’m not sure, maybe back home the pack, it should be safe enough for you,” Hanzo answers with a shrug. “Are you sure, I know you and your stepfather aren’t on good terms?” I look over at him wondering how it would go to return to his home pack.“They are on bad terms it wouldn’t be a great greeting, but Hanzo is right there is no place you would be safer that the council would agree to,” Hana comes out with a tray of food and stops at the table. “I’ll deal with him however I have to,” Hanzo sits up and grabs my hand then pulls me towards the table.“I know the pack would stand behind you,” Hana admits as Jackson comes out with a bottle of wine to go with the steak dinner Hana has made us. “I hope you’re right; we need to be somewhere safe for our little one,” I look down at my stomach and do my best to imagine what it will be like to be a mother.“We will make sure you and your baby are safe
Tori's POV“You ready?” Hanzo pulls we pull up to the hotel in Hawaii. Packing was easy since I only had a little bit of clothes. I know Hanzo had a little bit of a hard time, but once things got moving along the trip over was easy going.“Yeah, sorry I’m just tired,” I admit following him inside the main lobby where Hana, Jackson, and Aiko wait for us. “Don’t be sorry it’s been a long trip,” Hanzo reassures placing his hand on the small of my back as I yawn.“Fuck,” Hanzo groans, I look past him to see a man approach Aiko and pull her into his arms. “Is that?” I start to ask as Hanzo nods his head and pulls me close. “Greyson, just stick really close to me and we’ll be ok,” Hanzo reassures before kissing the top of my head then leads out way towards our family.“Hanzo, I didn’t think I’d ever see you back in my territory again,” Greyson speaks as he stands in front of Hanzo and reaches out to shake his hand. “Greyson, I know you don’t want me here, but I didn’t have a choice I had to
Hanzo's POVI got the job; I got the position on the council. It was a monumental moment for hybrids and myself, now I have a position to keep not only myself and my mate safe, but future generations of hybrids who have control. “Congratulations,” Hana speaks from her set next to mine as I just got off the phone hearing from the council about my position. “Thank you I know Tori will be even more excited,” I look up and down the hall of the hospital where we wait for her last check-up.“I’m ready,” I hear her call out, Hana opens the door and leads out way into the exam room where my small mate lays on the exam table, barely able to look over her belly.“Sorry I had to step out for the phone call,” I apologize, grabbing her hand I walk over and kiss her forehead. “I know you’ve been expecting this call, hopefully it was good news,” she smiles up at me as she rubs her oversized belly.“It was great news, I got the job, I’m now a council member,” I answer, she looks up at me with side e
Hanzo's POV“Did you just get in?” I wake Tori up when I sit down on the bed to kick off my shoes. “Yeah, I was busy going over council matters, they don’t seem to understand the difference in time zone, or they don’t care,” I admit, pulling my shirt off then lay back with my head on Tori’s chest.“I missed you last night,” Tori whispers, running her fingers through my hair then kisses me. “I missed you too, how is Nimue? Did she sleep through the night?” I question, looking around the room for Nimue expecting her in the bed. “She needed to be changed once last night and two feedings, she’s in her basinet over here,” she points to the edge of the bed.“What does the council want over here?” Tori questions as I sit up and start pulling my socks off. “They actually want to build an office over here for official business, since we’re here and the wolf population in Hawaii is has grown over the years. It’ll be a good thing, means less travel for meetings, I’ll have an official office here
Tori's POV“Who is she?” Questions a tall dark-haired Japanese man. He stares at me with deep green eyes when he walks by the sheriff’s desk besides the bench I am cuffed to.The front of his black hair hangs down to his beautiful tan sculpted jaw with the rest hanging around the back of his neck.Something about him draws me in as I catch his mouth-watering scent of strawberries and fresh green tea. He is wearing nice black pants with black V-neck shirt that hugs his thin yet very muscular body.“Hanzo, what brings you into town?” My arresting deputy questions, looking from me to the man in curiosity. “Checking in, I heard there have been some issues with wolves in the area,” Hanzo answers with his eyes on me making me shrink back into the bench making my small 5’2” short curvy stature seem even smaller.The way his eyes lock with mine I feel safe somehow, like he already knows what I am and that he will protect me.“It’s getting weird, we found her in a hunter’s pit fall covered in
Tori's POV“Hey what is it?” Hanzo quickly kneels down beside me. I instinctively push myself beneath him terrified of wolves being nearby. My heart pounds and I whimper hearing them howl again, all the hair on my body begins to stand on end.“You were chased into that trap, how old are you?” Hanzo’s tone turns to anger. His dark green eyes begin to glow making me whimper becoming a little afraid of him.‘It’s ok answer him, he won’t hurt us. His wolf won’t let him,’ Reika urges me to tell Hanzo what he wants to know. “I just turned 18, they want me for their Alpha,” I whine while looking down and away feeling ashamed that I was chased into that trap after running for so long.“Hey, you’re safe here,” his warm hand gently touches the bottom of my jaw, I gasp at the warm tingling sensation. “I will explain, for now come up here where you’ll be safe and I’ll take care of these wolves.” Hanzo suggests, cautiously he picks me up, pulls me close, then begins to carry me upstairs towards th

Tori's POVI begin to hyperventilate scared of dying. I pull my wrist as hard as I can the moment, only I see Aaron’s body fall to the floor beside me. “This has gone far enough! Fucking sociopath! Everyone on this council already knows what Hanzo is, and who is mother is. He has been allowed to live as well as your inquisitor Aaron,” Jackson yells as he looks to a very shocked council.“I will not stand by and watch you execute my daughter, the only one left of Aurelia’s family line, thanks to this council.” Jackson adds making me flinch at the idea of being the last of my mother’s family.

Tori's POVI was alone for only a few short moments when Hanzo is brought to my cell as four guards stay outside the door.“Are you ok what happened?” Hanzo instantly asks rushing to my side and kisses me fervently. “I don’t know, better now that you’re here. Hanzo I couldn’t shift and I still can’t feel Reika,” I admit looking up at him as he smiles with concern hidden in his expression.“Hana said you need to feed more?” Hanzo questions sitting with me in his arms as one of the guars clears his throat. “Something about not being fed properly before. I didn’t instruct you to watch, if you want to complain then complain to someone who cares,” I snap at the guard who is acting impatient, he walks away mumbling under his breath.“Tori, stop just feed,” Hanzo speaks and pulls me back down to his lap. He presses the side of his head to mine. I turn to face him and take in his scent relaxing in his grip. “Sorry,” I apologize before biting his shoulder where I marked him.“Don’t be, it’ll b
Tori's POV“Guards take him to a cell, and take lady Bushida to a separate cell,” Aaron instructs, everyone begins talking in hushed tones surprised at everything that’s happening.“Jackson?” Aaron questions watching him and I freeze. Jackson nods then comes over and unbinds me then pulls me to the center of the room. “Know if you lose control Jackson will sever your spine so fast your heart and lungs will cease to function instantly killing you, do you understand?” Aaron questions as my eyes widen, I look up at Jackson who avoids eye contact.“I do, what do you want from me?” I look at Aaron as tears stream down my cheeks. “Why are you so upset? All we want is to see you change into a wolf so we know these allegations are true,” Aaron explains, shrugging casually like none of this affects him.“You arrested the one man who has ever cared for me, after you promised his safety,” I answer watching him and wondering how he could be so cold. “He knew the risk of exposing himself, now shi
Tori's POVI was alone in that cell for God knows how long. No one came in or spoke to me, I just received food and fresh clothes through the slot in the door.“Tori,” I hear a familiar voice, my heart races as I have felt so alone and afraid through this. Not feeling Hanzo has made me feel hallow inside and not having Reika has nearly driven me crazy.“Tori, are you ok?” Jackson asks when they open the door, two guards stand behind him. “Exhausted,” I answer holding out my wrist for him to lock the shackles together, but instead he begins to pull them off making my brow furrow.“These two guards have been told to kill you on sight if you make a single wrong move. You’re to be interviewed again by Aaron and you can’t have these for this interview,” Jackson explains, standing aside for me. I walk past him and rub my wrists that are now raw.“They’re going to make me change, after watching me feed for how long now?” I question looking over at him, afraid of what is to come. “25 days,” J
