Dean looked up when he heard his name. His expression was confused as he eyed me from top to toe, clearly not recognizing me. I grinned, and finally, his eyes grew wide in surprise and excitement.
“Lesley?!”
My heart jumped at him calling my name. Even my wolf was wagging her tail in excitement. I couldn’t help it anymore. I launched forward and ran to him. I flung my arms around him, jumping into his arms, and making him stagger backwards.
“Oh my god! Lesley!” he exclaimed, closing his arms around me, and pulling me close to him. I fought back the tears as I dug my face into his shoulder.
“I can’t believe it’s really you!” I whispered, trying not to be strangled by my enclosing throat. I didn’t notice all the curious and suspicious eyes that suddenly were on us, but for once, I honestly didn’t care! I just found my brother again! Someone who I'd thought to be dead for almost two years. My emotions and questio

Lesley's POV“YOU’RE THE NEW LUNA?!” He exclaimed as if he didn’t believe his own words.And now I was confused...“What do you mean ‘new’?” I asked, frowning and eyeing the three men around me. A quick glance at the Beta and Gamma, it was obvious that they were hiding something, as they suddenly were paler than a sheet! I sighed. So much for trusting the grown-ups to not complicate things...“What do you mean ‘what’?” Dean questioned, astonished. “Alpha Cedrick ha---”“Will be furious if you start slacking,” Ryder conveniently cut Dean off. Dean snapped his head towards the Gamma, but it took a mind-link and a growl between the wolves before he stood down.Ah! Our Dean! My wolf proudly purred, just as happy to see him as I was. I agreed, despite not understanding what was going on. You could always trust Dean to treat you with respect and not leave you in the dark, so you’d feel like a complete idiot in situations

Lesley’s POVIf I had walked into this hospital at any other point and time in my life, I would have walked straight out of there, afraid that soiling the floor was going to cost me a kidney, a lung, and maybe my liver! It was clean-cut, modern, and looked extremely professional. A private hospital crossed my mind again, as everything inside was screaming money! The toned-down colors, the beautiful artwork, the neatly polished floor---No one was running around, no screams were flowing from behind closed doors, and the nurses didn’t look tired from pulling in a million extra hours. There was peaceful chatter, some laughter even! Some patients were sitting on lounges, talking while they got treated for silver or training injuries, while others were impatiently pacing around waiting for the other shoe to drop. And by that I meant they were heavily pregnant she-wolves, giving their mates hell. I grinned. That was what you get for knocking up a she-wolf! I

Lesley's POVThe office was big. A huge and surprisingly clean desk with modern computers was placed right under the painted window, making natural light flow into the room. Right behind it was a wall separating an examination room and several floor-to-ceiling bookshelves all stacked with books, articles, and medical equipment. Everything was modern white, with a calm tone of gray, blue, and green, while the artwork on the wall was a beautiful, strong multicolored painting, picturing a woman walking in a sea of colors. It was inspiring and brought a smile to my lips. It made me think about hope.“Now,” Doctor Monty said, offering me a seat across his desk. “What can I help you with?”“Yeah,” I trailed off, gathering the courage to say what I needed to. “I need a morning-after-pill and STD blood work.” I blurted out before I had time to change my mind. “Is it possible to get a pregnancy test if it’s really, really early on?”My heart was a

Lesley’s POVThere was a sticker on one of the doors when I got home. Without thinking, I stopped to read it.“Your room!Order whatever you want – I’ll be home late. Don’t wait up!Cedrick”What a loving and caring mate! I huffed, ignoring the twisted pain in my gut. I opened the door and noticed that my luggage was already inside. And as a bonus, it was a guest bedroom. I sighed, wondering if it was even worth it...Life has chocolate! I tried to humor myself but didn't succeed. I was never going to win at life, I murmured to myself before heading to the kitchen and ordering some pizza. But once it arrived, I didn’t feel hungry anymore. I felt sick.I went to bed, but my stomach never really settled. I tossed and turned a couple of times, but never really found what I needed – whatever that was! I got back up and barely made it to the toilet before I started to throw up. How the hell could I be throwing up? The only thing I had for the last week was water from the bathroom sink. I g

Lesley's POVI spun around, startled. I hadn’t heard Cedrick approaching, but I could appreciate the "I roll out of bed sexy"-look. His hair was tousled and dressed in nothing more than a pair of sweatpants and a loose T-shirt I got to admire his biceps.“Good morning!” I chirped, flipping the last pancake with a dance move that kinda failed and almost ruined the pancake. I laughed. This was fun...“It’s barely morning,” Cedrick yawned, as he eyed his watch. What I didn't hear was that he was simply stating a fact - not complaining. But years of abuse had wired my brain to be mindful of criticism. So, I tensed up but tried brushing off the disappointment. I didn't expect him to be grateful, but...“Are you always this happy, this early?” he asked, his voice still husky and rough from sleep, as he walked around the island and sat down across from me.“Yep!” I replied and placed the coffee in front of him. “I’m a morning person

Lesley’s POVI stayed away for as long as I could. But around midday, I was cold, hungry and tired. I wanted to go home and sleep. Perhaps if I was lucky, the rejection was written on the fridge and I didn’t have to see Cedrick again.I could run back to my old pack. Become my Uncle’s pet again and just live life like a hollow fuck-doll. I would die of an STD or AIDS or some shit like that in a couple of years and then--- and then…And then I’d be free…I opened the patio door and walked in. His scent was the first thing that assaulted my senses. For a split second, my heart clenched, knowing I would never smell it again once he rejected me…“Hey!”I jumped around, coming face to face with a newly showered Cedrick. He had a wild look on his face and his voice was harsh and stern. He strode closer but suddenly stopped. Like he’d hit an invisible wall. His nostrils flared, and his hands curled into a fist.“You

Lesley’s POV“Where’s Sandra now?” I asked, wondering if I would be getting visitors from ex-mates as well as ex-girlfriends…“She ran away shortly after,” he answered, sadness and bitterness dripping from every word. “I haven’t seen or heard from her since.”I glanced up. He didn’t look at me, but I didn’t need to see the rest of his face, to recognize the pain and anger in his expression. He tried to hide it, but sadness and disappointment were feelings not easily hidden away. They were the feelings that sometimes left the deepest scars…“I’m sorry,” I muttered before I could help myself.“What?”“I’m sorry,” I repeated, letting my fingers fumble with the helm of the hoodie. “I can’t imagine what that must feel like; not knowing what happened to your mate.”“She rejected me,” he snarled, and I’m pretty sure his wolf was in there somewhere. Sore subject. Noted. Not that it surprised me or anything. However,

Cedrick’s POVI was restless!I didn’t know what to do in a house with a girl that was almost half my age. Shit, I felt like such a pig! And my wolf certainly didn’t help, by constantly pushing vivid images into our mind of her strolling around naked. And as much as I didn’t want to admit it, it turned me on. So much so, time and time again, I found myself unable to do my work. Not until I’d either had a cold shower or found my own release.I sighed and for the 11th time that day found myself with a hard-on. Shit! I was exhausted… And god, did I feel OLD! I’d never felt this old before! Whoever said that a wolf in his 30’s was in his prime, did NOT have a mate that was practically a child!Not to mention, that every time she got within 6 feet of me, my wolf became utterly and completely impossible to control, because she smelled like---them! He wanted to mark and mate her without any concerns about the outside w

The Lottery Mate Chapter 43
Lesley’s POV“Good morning, sunshine,” Ryder greeted me in his usual manner, as I walked up to him in the arena.“Good morning, Ryder,” I answered, unable to stop grinning like a mad person.“Hmm, someone had a good date?” He teased. I didn’t reply, but snickered at him, letting him come to whatever conclusion he wanted. He grinned and shook his head, before putting on a more serious expression. “Ready for today’s lesson?” he asked. “You’re finally going to do some kicking back.”“I was born ready for this,” I replied, psyched as shit--- And moments later I wished I knew when to keep my mouth shut. Kicking and hitting back was hard, painful, and – unfortunately – involved the other part of kicking and hitting back too!And damn him, he was good!He kicked me, landing a pretty mean punch in my stomach. I wobbled back, before losing my balance--- only to land on a couple of strong arms that held me from falling on my
The Lottery Mate Chapter 42
Lesley's POVI gulped and forced my body to be still. I don’t know what happened, but I knew I didn’t want to push my luck right now. And if I was being honest, I understood his actions a bit better. Sure, there were other ways he could have gone about it – and probably ALL of them better than what he chose! – but in the end, he didn’t want to hurt me.He--- he cared about my feelings...“Please get back in the car, so I can get home and have a VERY cold shower, so I don’t rip those clothes off your body?” he sighed, his blue eyes finding mine. “Please?” he repeated, those black orbs begging me to do what he said. “I’ll slow down, I swear,” he promised. “I don’t want to damage us more than I already have.”“OK,” I nodded--- and although I’d probably agree to go to the moon if he told me to right now, I felt the tensio
The Lottery Mate Chapter 41
Lesley’s POVSo--- Here’s what happened after that unexpected kiss.He took me home saying it was late!Yeah, I know!Smooth move there, Romeo!I was pissed, to say the least…I had felt his hands sneak around my waist, pulling me closer to him. His tongue graced mine, asking for entrance. Without thinking, I gave him access and he instantly deepened the kiss. Tasting me, like it was the sweetest ambrosia.I moaned, as the sparks erupted from the tip of my lips and spread through my entire body. Warming me from the inside out and making my knees weak in want. I wrapped my arms around his neck to keep me from falling. But it only resulted in pushing us even closer together, making me feel his erected excitement press against my abdom
The Lottery Mate Chapter 40
Lesley's POVCedrick didn’t protest but fell in step with me. We ordered a large chip each and once we got our order, we continued to walk down the pier.“So,” Cedrick started out, a bit insecure. “Is this what qualifies as fun for you?”“This was the only fun I could have,” I confessed and mentally rolled my eyes when I met his surprised expression. “I was an Omega, remember?” I had to remind him. “I didn’t get paid, but by making the right kind of friends, I could get into clubs and stuff without paying.”“How do you make friends like that?”“I offered them my services,” I smirked--- without thinking how that sounded…“What?!” Cedrick exclaimed shocked and his wide eyes found mine. At first, I didn’t really get it--- until my wolf practically barked some sense back into me.“Oh, fuc
The Lottery Mate Chapter 39
Lesley's POVHe nodded and I could feel the presence of his wolf decrease until I almost couldn’t feel him anymore. For a second, I was worried about what my wolf was going to say about it. But to my surprise, she didn’t mind us humans having some alone time.I beamed a smile at him, leading him to the DJ booth.“Big D,” the tall, dark man exclaimed, once he was us and engulfed me in a ‘bro-hug’. “‘S’up?”DJ was one of the humans back home that I and Amanda had been good friends with. He was considerably older than us, but he was cool to hang with because he could get us access to all the clubs and bars he had a gig at. He moved away with his boyfriend when he got a job offer out of town, but he’d told me to look him up if I ever was in town.Because--- conveniences, bitches!“Hey, DJ,” I grinned back, not noticing the rage that flashed in
The Lottery Mate Chapter 38
Lesley's POVI mentally rolled my eyes at him.And here I was thinking he was constipated! My wolf grinned--- and I just loved her even more.“If it’s any consolation, you look younger,” I answered, gesturing to the missing beard. And I hoped he got the hint to let it grow back. He looked better with it!“I know,” he just answered pointedly, picking up the fork and knife. “Still doesn’t change the numbers though.”“Relax! What’s the worst that could happen?” I replied and rolled my eyes. Grabbing my burger with both hands and gobbled down another mouthful. From the corner of my eye, I caught Cedrick’s astonished face while I chewed. “I’m part wolf,” I shrugged, unapologetically, swallowing, and hurried to take another bite. “Sorry if I eat like one.”He laughed, but quickly and nervously looked around as if he&rsquo
The Lottery Mate Chapter 37
Lesley’s POVI was not allowing myself to get excited about this!I was going on a date with my mate, sure! But if he made a last-minute cancelation, I wouldn’t show him that it hurt me. I was preparing to get disappointed, even preparing for the fact that this might even be his punishment for me. Get me worked up to rub it in my face later.I was NOT going to get worked up about this. I was his mate. Not someone he loved, right? I was just an inconvenience that he got stuck with...I took a deep breath.Yeah, that’s it. Like ‘Anja’ said: he loved her less than a week ago. There was no way he loved me. Or even cared for me.I took one last look in the mirror. Luckily, all my bruises were gone, so I could show a little skin for once without endangering my old pack. Tight black leggings under a pair of once-upon-a-ripped jeans, that I’d turned into shorts. A pair of yellow sneakers and a white tank top let so
The Lottery Mate Chapter 36
Lesley's POV“Why?” Cedrick gritted between his teeth, folding his huge arms over his broad chest. His eyes avoided mine and were burning holes in the carpet on the floor.“I-I want to see if there are any audiobooks lying around,” I replied, cursing my nervous stutter. Why was I so freaking nervous?! Oh, yeah! The last time we spoke, he almost strangled me!--- And yet, I was over the moon seeing him here. He didn’t smell like another woman! In fact, he smelled like an old couch and breath mints. You know? The ones you keep in your desk for emergencies. He spent the night at the office! And for some stupid unexplainable reason, that made me happy!“Why?” he asked surprised, quickly ripping the rug out from under my happy moment and bringing me back down to reality…“So I can get my homework done,” I muttered, stealing a glance at his annoyingly perfect face from time to time.
The Lottery Mate Chapter 35
Lesley's POVA low growl erupted from his chest. He leaned his body against mine. His lips trailed the naked skin of my exposed neck. The motion sent currents of soft electricity through my body, making me shiver. Yet not in a sexy way...“Good!”Suddenly, he dropped me. His hard frame left mine and he was gone. My legs barely caught the sudden weight of my body. Before I managed to pull myself together, I heard the door slam shut with such force that it shook the walls.I released a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding. My heart was slamming against my chest and was currently the only proof of life I had. My body was shaking, and more tears threatened to spill. Without thinking, my fingers found the angry mark left behind from his hand.Jeez! Why don’t werewolves have domestic violence laws? I sarcastically asked myself, although I already knew the answer: the evide
