When Levi saw me, he did not compliment my appearance or even tell me that I had a great appearance. This made me feel a little bit sad. I had no requirement for him to bolster my ego or alleviate any of my insecurities in any way. Because I had dressed up for his benefit, it just would have been lovely if it had happened. But he treated me with the same total lack of concern that he had in the past.His office was spacious and impressive, and it was located in a large building that also housed a number of smaller offices and conference rooms. WhileLevi, who appeared to be very serious about his work, was seated behind his mahogany desk working on paperwork, the loud ticking of a grandfather clock could be heard in the room.He gestured for me to sit down on the leather couch on the opposite side of the room and instructed me to do so.I remarked with a "woof" as I made my way over to the couch.Levi was perplexed as he gazed up at me. I exploded and told him, "If you're going to bark
The moment his hand slipped into mine, I was taken aback. As we were walking, I turned to look atLevi, but he didn't seem to notice that he had just taken hold of my hand. I remarked, "You're holding my hand" as you did so."The Pack can't know we're not anything other than a perfect loved up Alpha and Luna," he glared down at me with an annoyed expression on his face.I couldn't help but snort with laughter as I asked, "Are they idiots?"His response, which was delivered with clenched teeth, was, "No, but we're going to be good actors." If I failed to persuade him, I could sense the intimidation in his remarks. "Well, I should be fine, I actually have a heart and feelings, but you, I'm not too sure about," she said. "You, on the other hand, I'm not too sure about."Put a stop to it, May.I made fun of him by saying, "Darling, that is not the way to speak to your loving mate" He mumbled something incomprehensible beneath his breath but didn't respond to my question. Despite the evid
He lied to his audience, saying something to the effect of, "I understand that some of you may have heard that I was sceptical of accepting my mate, but I can promise you that was not true." "I was simply cautious because there was an age gap between my mate and I, which is, of course, extremely unusual. However, I would have never denied the Pack its true Luna, its true mother." He chuckled as he glanced up at me from below.I had the impression that his grin was comparable to the one that Judas had given Jesus just before he betrayed him. I had absolutely no faith inLevi, and I didn't put any stock in what he had to say. He had more mood swings than a PMSing crack addict experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and every two seconds his demeanor would change dramatically. I had not the slightest bit of faith inLeviEthan.Before everyone went their separate ways for the evening,Levi offered a few more words of commentary. I could not believe that he could act as though he was a good person
After a little period of silence, Neil spoke up once more. She's true, and they are the ones making the decision regarding their relationship. If and when they decide to get married, we should support them because they will face enough scrutiny from other Packs without us arguing among ourselves.Angie shrieked, tossing her napkin to the floor and rising. "Are you crazy?" she demanded. She jumped to her feet when her chair made a loud noise on the floor. I will never, ever support this because this female will wreck Levi's life. I do not support this and I never will. She whirled around and stormed out of the room. Levi murmured, dropping his own napkin before rising. "We should go," he said. She stormed over to the entrance and I swiftly followed him.Before I left to find my partner, Sofia gave me a little smile and said, "I'm sure she'll change her mind.I yelled "Levi" to my companion as I ran after him. Wait for me, Levi.He commanded May, "Get in the car, now!" as he climbed in
When a horn honked outside, Levi interrupted the kiss, but I could sense his hesitation. I looked up at him and grinned as a frown appeared on his face. The phrase "I'll see you tonight"He mumbled, "Hmm, yes, tonight," while off-guard. Before gathering my stuff and sprinting outside, I grinned up at him. Dean was driving while tapping his watch like an irate senior citizen.Dean said as I hopped into the car, "Look, if I have to be a soccer mom and do the school run, at least be ready at the right time."You're a cranky bastard in the morning, I tell you.He retorted, "And you're a raging bitch all day long."I grinned, "Touché." We didn't talk much as we traveled to my new high school because Dean was in a nasty mood. As we got closer to the school, I was both anxious and excited at the same time.Dean saw my excitement and said, "Don't worry, just stick with Shawna and Javier and you'll be OK. "They were wise choices on your part; both are strong and good Wolves."I said with a shr
Shawna, Javier, and a few other Pack Wolves joined me for lunch. The topic of the day seemed to be Levi and I, as everyone was mentioning us. As we were eating, my phone rang with a text message. I received a message from Levi wondering how my day was going. I chose to ignore it, so a moment later I received a new text. When Dean and Josh sent a text, I sighed hard.Then Javier's phone rang, and I knew I was in trouble even before he picked it up. Everyone at the table stopped talking as he cautiously questioned, "Alpha?" Their Alpha didn't spend much time with them, so it was unusual for him to call one of them. Javier replied with a slightly trembled voice, "Yes, Alpha, I'm with the Luna right now.I gave a frustrated grunt and extended my hand to Javier. I swiftly put the phone to my ear as he hurriedly handed it to me. Surprisingly, I haven't passed away yet, I snarled at him.Then,Mabella, you could at least reply to my texts, Levi yelled at me.It was your decision to send me ba
As I put the weights down and inhaled deeply, a surprised voice said, "Are you weight lifting?" I got up from the bench by sliding under the bar. Levi was standing in the entrance to his home gym and was staring at me in disbelief. I snatched up my water bottle from the floor, gulped it down, and then threw it back."Yeah, you want to spot?" I asked.Levi looked at me bewildered and murmured, "Sure. Let me just change out of my suit." He left through the front entrance and returned upstairs to the main residence. I wiped the perspiration from my brow with my towel.Coach Greene told me I could use the archery supplies whenever I wanted, so Dean brought me up after school. I made the deliberate choice to improve my shooting to Olympic levels; I wasn't required to compete, but I would do it anyway since I liked the sport and it wasn't right to squander my gift just because I was upset over my prior Alpha's decision.Because Levi was still at work, Dean stayed with me for a bit, but I ju
Levi's gaze swept up and down my body, and I felt a rush of anxiety and excitement. He told me genuinely, "Freckles, if you want me to stop at any moment, you just let me know. "I'm likely to become overexcited and forget that you're a virgin and have never done anything like this before. I can still remember it, but soon common sense will be irrelevant. So please, stop me and act rationally.I softly mumbled, "Alright." As his hand moved up my side and to my face, Levi grinned softly. Before putting our lips together, he touched my cheek. His lips gently molded against mine as we began our slow, loving kiss. I leaned forward and closed my eyes, around his neck with my hands as I intensified the kiss.Levi's hands went slowly down my body and then landed on my behind. He gave it a tight grip, rubbing it with his hands as I continued to lean closer to him. As our lips fought fiercely, the kissing started out quickly and became more desperate. Levi's hands gripped my flesh nearly painfu
When Levi initially broached the subject of having kids, my response was a resounding "no, hell no." However, it was phrased more delicately so as to save his feelings.When I suggested that we wait until I was eighteen, Levi reluctantly agreed. But even though I was taking the pill, my pregnancy threw that whole strategy into a loop. I suppose Levi simply had super sperm, or perhaps he was just incredibly motivated. Even though I didn't want a baby right away, I must admit that I was little anticipatory. Although not as giddy as Levi was, it was still understandable.Levi caressed my stomach and then grabbed my hand, saying, "So I've been thinking about this, and this," pointing to my engagement ring.I retaliated, "I'm not being a fat bride," at him.Laughing, he said, "Pregnant, not fat." His breath tickled my neck as his thumb traced arcs over my stomach.I complained, "Yet, I don't want to be a fat or a pregnant bride." Levi gave me a sidelong glance while rolling his eyes, but h
I thought, tracing my finger over his angular jawline as his stubble tickled my fingertips, "You are thinking very hard."Levi suddenly exclaimed, "I want a child."Nothing came out of my mouth when I opened it. I was unable to speak, which had never happened to me before. And it wasn't that I was stumped for words; rather, it was more like my brain had simply shut down.I finally mumbled, biting my bottom lip, "A child." "A baby, a kid, someone who needs me.""I know it's a scary idea, especially with everything going on right now," Levi said as he gave me a serious look. If I weren't dead serious about getting what I want, I also wouldn't have brought it up. I've always wanted to have children, but I always thought I'd wait till later in life to do it. And now that I'm thirty, have two Packs, and a partner I adore, I know that the time is right."Now, we require two heirs. Alphas in the future for both packs.Levi continued, smiling to himself, "Yes, the eldest son will take over Eq
After a short while, Dale followed Levi as he left with his head held high. Levi and I exchanged looks before he whistled and took a deep breath. Everyone near the Pack village was silenced by the noise, which cut through the air. The brothers, who were equally handsome and domineering, caught everyone's attention.I let out a trembling breath as the Pack started to congregate close by. Before Levi addressed Dale and the Pack, Levi and I exchanged one more nod. "Due to the Council's decision, I am unable to challenge you for your position. But I am this Pack's legitimate Alpha. You will now move aside.Dale remained silent for a brief moment before speaking. "You understand I can't resign,"Levi declared, "The only way I'll get my Pack back is through your death. The Pack members were chatting nervously as Dale nodded slowly as if he had almost anticipated this."So, are you going to kill me, brother?" Dale enquired. He sounded very much like Levi in terms of calm and clarity of voice
I stroked my irritated temples. I yelled, "Shut it the lot of you," loud enough for everyone to hear. When I yelled at people, they would usually ignore me, but for some reason—possibly my tone or my angry eyes—they all genuinely stopped talking. After a brief period of silence during which everyone in the room focused on me, Rafa raised another grievance, and the shouting and fighting resumed.I whispered "Dios Mio" while shaking my head at the male guests. The lot of them are idiots.All of the Yellowstone Wolves had their chips removed and were replaced with real Wolves, with the exception of two who refused to go. Rafa immediately learned, however, that, contrary to what his family had told him, his mother was not one of the She-Wolves taken. He didn't accept them, though.Even though the other Yellowstone Wolves informed him that she had never been there, his plan was to venture further into the park to locate her. Rafa, however, being an obstinate idiot, attempted to leave.Javi
"Javier and Chris are friends!"Good for them, said Levi , grinning at me. You nearly appear happier than Chris did.Of course I am, I said, 'for they are genuinely ideal for one another. We can now go on two dates and have things like date nights with games. We, Chris and Javier, Dean and Tricia, Dale and Sofia, and others may be involved.It'll be a lot of fun and...Levi abruptly stopped me before I could add, "And Dale and Sofia won't be here." As we exchanged looks, my smile faded and my stomach churned."Regarding Dale, are we doing appropriately? Sofia and the infant might not adjust, for example."May, we both realize that there is no other option."I scowled, "I know, but Levi ...he's your brother."Before turning away from me, Levi closed his eyes for a considerable period of time and let out a trembling breath.I mumbled "Levi " in a low voice."May, I know, dammit. He yelled, whirling around to face me, "I know. "However, we've discussed this numerous times. When Dale is
As he approached, I wondered, "So, I hear you're some big shot Alpha again."He laughed, his eyes sparkling with joy as he looked at me and asked, "If I say yes, will you finally take my last name?"me.I laughed and shrugged, "Eh, we'll see." Levi chuckled as he around my waist and drew me close to him. Before turning back to the others, he gave me a brief hello kiss that I felt was too short.He told the snobby woman, "This is my mate, Jenna, she can come and go as she pleases," before pressing a tender kiss to the top of my head. Then, with a smile, Levi turned to face my best friend and said, "Chris, I want to thank you for getting her here safely."Hey, I did a lot of the traveling to get here. He was overly smitten by love.Chris interrupted me with the whimper "May" and a helpless expression. I gave him a rolling eye, but I stopped.I have my mate back, therefore whatever happened, you were successful. Levi remarked, nodding to my friend, "To me, that is all that matters. Wi
Chris groaned, "Fine, fine." "Yes, fine, I'm quite pleased. He almost exactly matches my ideal guy in terms of appearance because I've always been drawn to Latino men. Since I only met him tonight, I can't really remark on his demeanor, but he seems...honourable."I said with a nod, "Yeah, that's exactly the word to describe Javi." You appreciate the way Latin women appear, yet you never approach me? I'm offended, dude.I have taste, unlike Alpha Ethan, he snorted."You suck. You wish you could have met someone as attractive as me.Chris said, "I have a friend, and he's a thousand times hotter than you. After a little period of silence, he resumed speaking. I've always wanted to have children, so I always wanted to be married to a woman, but Javier is just...everything."I grinned and questioned, "I always thought you preferred guys anyway?"He shrugged, "I know there are other ways we can go about that, before you say it, but it doesn't mean that this relationship isn't going to be h
While gazing at Javier and I, the three of them were silent. Javier and I were explaining why we had taken them out of the Vernal Pack as Kim, Mia, and Rafa listened attentively from atop the motel bed. After we were done explaining, there was a long pause before Kim spoke.Kim said, "I left Yellowstone two years ago—I can't just stroll back in."When Yemi was brought out of Yellowstone, the other Alpha's said that you went to pursue him. I scowled.She nodded in her sister's direction and replied, "Mia did." "I've always wanted to live among people, or werewolves, at the very least. I'm not a savage and I won't live like one, even though my mother was a real-life wild Wolf.Mia yelled at her sister, "Mother is not a barbarian.I said, "I have to ask, how did you guys learn to walk, talk, and, well, just be normal? Yemi hasn't got much humanity left, and I met him.Mia said calmly and patiently, "Kim and I are twins, we are from the same litter from our Wolf mother. "Kim and I Shifted
I firmly grasped the bow as the arrow sat against the nocking point. My bangs were sticking to the side of my face because of the sweat that was trickling from my forehead. As I viewed from my perch in the tree, I slowly inhaled.As long as no one approached from behind, they wouldn't be able to smell me or see me from up in the tree because I was high up and facing away from the wind. My body was hidden by the branches, but I was protected by dark slacks and a black sweatshirt just in case.Even while I really wanted to be the one to free Rafa from the Vernal cells, I realized that wasn't going to be possible. I was too recognizable at this point; perhaps I could have passed unnoticed if I hadn't walked around after my Shift showing everyone my change. But now everyone was familiar with my face.But nobody recognized Javier's face. He was in charge of entering the cells and removing Rafa and the two Yellowstone females from there, together with Chris. In all honesty, we only needed t
