Christy

I smell him before I open my eyes. My mate. The man who rejected me. Why is he here? Why now when I’m at my weakest?

“Please open your eyes, Christy. Please. Deborah said that you aren’t under any anesthesia to keep you unconscious. You’ve been out for two days. Please open your eyes.”

I open my eyes and see his red-rimmed eyes watching me closely. Relief washes over his face.

“Oh, thank the goddess!” he says, pulling my hand to his lips and kissing it. “Thank the goddess. I was so worried about you.”

“Why are you here?” I ask. My throat is still sore, and my voice is rough, reminding me of why I’M here. I feel the tears well in my eyes and I close them tightly. I don’t want Leo to see me cry again. He saw enough of my tears on the day he rejected me.

I feel his finger gently rub against my cheek, wiping the wayward tear away.

“I was worried about you, and I came to apologize.”

“Apologize for what?” I ask, not looking at him.

“For rejecting you. I was wrong. I see that now. And

You get two today. But what did you think of Christy and Leo?

If Chrissy gets a mate that worthy of her and ready to put in a lot of work. The healing process after such a violent assault I heard is not a easy road

that's my favorite book at the moment and I jump on any chapter as soon as they're released xD I'd love Christy to have the mate she deserves and Leo seems to have realized he was in the wrong... but as he rejected her, can he still be fated-mate, or has she a 2nd chance mate somewhere?

Love that Leo apologized and realized that all members have some type of strength! I had wondered where Lane was! Now Alpha will know first hand how Alpha Warren felt and why his father was killed. It is going to get ugly with Kennedy and Alpha’s rage! Can’t wait!

    Quirin'It starts at the top.’ That’s what Kennedy had said to the pack and she’d looked at me, basically letting me know that it’s not just our warriors that need to change, that I need to change as well.I’ve never really thought of the pack as a family. I mean, I spent enough years in Alpha Harold’s pack that I probably should have, I saw the love that the pack members had for Harold and for Henry, but since I didn’t have a pack at the time, I didn’t take much notice. I didn’t realize the value and importance of a pack being a family. Hell, I don’t even recognize the value of family at all, or at least I didn’t before Kennedy. Even my own mother chose to let herself wither away and die rather than be a mother to me, to be a family to me.Of course, Kennedy’s more than just family to me. She’s everything to me. If she wants this pack to become a family, then we will. I don’t know how to do that, but I’m sure that she does, and I’ll follow her lead.When Lane comes to ask about someon

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 67: Argument

    JasperGetting this girl down the cliff was a lot harder than getting up there. I probably should have accounted for that a bit more, but I didn’t. Once Slater told me how to sneak onto the pack lands, I came right away, bringing some of my strongest warriors and I’d hit the jackpot. I hadn’t expected her to come to me. Slater said the patrols didn’t come out this way, so I had intended to climb into the pack lands and sneak to the hospital where she apparently spends most of her time. However, when opportunity knocks, I always open the door.After repelling down the cliff face, I stop to look at the girl. She was dead weight and repelling with over a hundred pounds slung over your shoulder isn’t easy. I’d slammed into the cliff several times when my body had begun to spin. When I look her over, I can see that she’s got some bumps and scratches on her head, back, and arms. She’s bleeding a lot from the head wounds, but she’s still breathing, and her heart is still beating, so she’ll li

    KennedyWhen I wake up, my head is throbbing. I’m uncomfortable and when I try to open my eyes, blood drips into them. People are yelling around me and it’s making my head hurt even worse.‘Echo?’‘I’m here. I’m weak, but I’m here.’‘Do you know where we are?’‘By the smell of the two arguing over us, they’re Alphas, no one we know. I’m guessing this is one of their packs. One is Alpha Jasper, the Alpha who took us.’“Tell me that Quirin is dead. Tell me that you didn’t take his Luna and leave him alive,” one of the Alphas snarls.‘ECHO! Echo, we have to get out of here! We have to warn Quirin!’ A ball of fear knots in my gut. No matter how upset or angry I am at Quirin, I still love him. I won’t let anyone kill him.‘Echo, can you shift?’ I ask her.‘If it means saving our mate, I will.’ I know what she’s saying. She’s saying that she would exhaust herself, force herself into exhausted silence to save our mate.‘I have no intention of losing you either, Echo,’ I say fiercely.“Then le

    YaraWhen Beta Kier raced into the hospital carrying a bloody and unconscious Kennedy, my heart tightened. This is twice my daughters’ lives have been at risk, only this time, there is no one else to save her but me.“Bring her in here,” I tell him, rushing into one of the surgery rooms. Now that she’s gotten more supplies, I feel confident that I have what I need to treat anyone who walks through those doors.“Tell me what happened,” I say as I begin looking her over. She’s bleeding from multiple head wounds and other places on her body. Echo must be weak if she’s not healing her.“I’m not exactly sure, Luna. We went to Jasper’s pack and he wasn’t there. We searched everywhere but Jasper hadn’t taken her there. While Alphas Warren and Connor dealt with the people in the safe rooms, we raced to Alpha Brogan’s pack.”I’m surprised that Quirin left the innocents alive. His father never did.“He wasn’t going to, but your mate intervened. I’m glad he did. I didn’t like the idea of killing

    QuirinA pup? I’m going to be a father? It’s the next thought that makes my stomach twist into knots. Why didn’t she tell me? Is she so angry with me that she’s not happy that she’s having my pup? Is she ...The thought of her wanting to leave me nearly makes me vomit.‘Let’s wait until she wakes up. Our mate has been through a lot. She and Echo aren’t just healing themselves. They’re also growing a pup. Our pup. I’m sure that the pregnancy is also making it harder for the two of them to heal. Echo would be using her strength to protect our pup, I’m sure it,’ Raif says diplomatically.He’s right. Our mate would make sure that her pup, our pup, was safe and healthy. It makes Echo’s willingness to sacrifice herself for me even harder to bear. This woman and her wolf were willing to give me everything, every last part of themselves to protect me. I always knew I didn’t deserve her.‘Then let’s make sure we DO deserve her, because she is going to have our baby and she is going to make one

    Quirin“What do you want to know, Quirin?” Alpha Warren asks me.“All of it, I guess. You said my father was after Luna Yara?” I ask.“Not at first,” he says and sighs. “You know, the day I killed him, I told your father that if he had been a different man, he and I could have been friends. Maybe that’s why I’ve tried so hard to have a relationship with you. You’re enough like your father that you and I have a lot in common but you’re different enough that we’ve never been at odds like your father and I were. For all of the money that your father had, and I know it was a lot even back then, he always wanted more. What he had was never enough for him. It was pure greed, nothing more. He didn’t need my lands, but he wanted them. He didn’t need Yara, he had your mother. But he wanted her because he recognized that her strength would make him stronger.”I nod. “I remember talking to him about that.

And third, for the first time that I can remember, Quirin’s mind is open to me.‘You’re awake,’ his voice floats into my mind.‘What’s going on?’ I ask, shifting and realizing that I feel stiff.‘What do you remember?’ he asks softly.I try to focus my mind, try to remember what happened. I was captured. I was injured. I ran ... “Echo!” I say out loud, terrified that I’ve lost my wolf.“Shhh. I’m right here,” Quirin says from beside me. “Raif, your family, and the pack all have a tight hold on Echo. No one is letting her go. We’re all giving her the strength she needs to heal.

I know he’s working hard, keeping the pack safe while Alpha Quirin is with Luna Kennedy in the hospital. So, I brought him some food. It was a good excuse to go see him.As busy as he is and as exhausted as he looks, he stops what he’s doing to come pull me into a hug.“I trust Luna Yara and she says Luna Kennedy's wolf will come back, so we’re all going to believe that,” he says, wrapping his arms around me. I feel him sigh as he breathes in my scent. I wrap my arms around him and hold him, letting him take strength from the mate bond.“What do you have planned for today?” he asks.“I thought I’d go see Christy. I don’t know if I can help her, but I have some understanding of what she went through,” I tell him.I’m surprised when he smiles at me, gently running his hand over my hair.“What is that

I feel a slight fluttering in my mind and I know that Echo is fighting to come back to me.‘Heal yourself, Echo. I’ll be here when you get back. I love you,’ I say in our mind. I know my wolf, she won’t stop fighting. But hopefully she can hear me and knowing that I can feel her trying will help her to feel better. I can still feel the pack holding on to her, helping her to find her way back.The next thing I feel is Quirin’s mind. I smile, loving that it’s still open to me. Right now, it’s quiet with his sleep, although, images of Slater, the pack lands, and me are flashing on repeat.‘Those are the things he’s most worried about,’ Raif says, purring in my mind but loud enough that I can feel the vibration against my body.‘Don’t wake Quirin, Raif. He needs his sleep,’ I scold him.‘What I need is for my mate to be healthy. How are you feeling, Little Pup? Sorry, I’m still half asleep. How are you

    QuirinI spent some time celebrating Kier’s and Arianna’s mate bond with the pack, a celebration that continued even after they went upstairs. The pack is excited and happy. It’s such a different feeling, something I’m so unused to that I feel a bit lost without Kennedy here to help me navigate through it.“I need to head home tomorrow, Alpha Quirin. Now that I know my sister is safe, I need to return to my pack. But I’m only a phone call away if you ever need me or the pack. I’d also like you to know that you have an open invitation to my pack. Not only are you my sister’s mate, but now we’re allies. You’re welcome any time,” Connor says.“Thank you. When things settle, maybe I can bring Kennedy for a visit. A real one this time. I think she’d like that,” I say.“Are you going to come visit me too, Q? Maybe for more than a day?” Henry asks.“Yeah, yeah, we’ll come see you, too.

    AriannaI knew Kier would take his time. I knew he’d told me that being intimate was supposed to feel good, but I’d never guessed that it would feel THAT good. I was shocked when the heat that was building in my core like a hot furnace, exploded in my body. I had grabbed on to Kier’s body, holding him as my own body felt like it was shattering into millions of pieces.Then he’d kissed me and slowly helped my body piece itself together again. After that, what was left?Apparently, there’s more. A lot more.I know he’s watching me to make sure I’m okay with everything he’s doing, but I also get the impression that he likes my body, likes watching how I’m reacting to his touch.“Did you like that?”“That was ...” What do I say? There are no words for what that was. No words that I know anyway.He smiles, as if he understands the feelings that I’m incapable of putting into words.“Can I make you come again?” Is he asking my permission or is asking me if my body will respond.

    KierWhen Arianna said she had an announcement, my heart stopped. My mate isn’t one to stand in front of people and speak, much less the entire pack. So I knew it was important.When she turned to look at me, I could barely breathe. I was terrified that I’d miss something or misunderstand something that she was saying. Then, she said she accepted me. She said the words that I’ve been waiting to hear for over a year. She wants me. I can’t even believe she thought she had to ask if I still wanted her.I probably shouldn’t have kissed her like that in front of everyone, but thankfully, she didn’t seem to notice that the entire pack began cheering for us.When I finally dragged myself away from the kiss, I brushed the tears off of Arianna’s cheeks. “I have wanted you from the moment I first smelled your lavender and chamomile scent. From the moment that I first laid eyes on you, there has never been anyone else for me.”I kissed her again, more quickly this time as I could feel the pack pu

    KennedyI don’t like feeling weak, I hate that Echo is silent, but I’m loving every minute of being inside Quirin’s mind. His mind is just like he is, rough and rugged on the outside, but soft and gentle underneath, or at least it is towards me. And I like that a lot too. Now that I’m in his head, I can feel the difference in how he feels about me and how he feels about others, even our pack members. He loves them, in his Quirin way, but his love for me is all-encompassing.‘I like having you in my mind. I didn’t think I would, but it’s like walking through a meadow on a sunny day. It feels like the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing and butterflies are fluttering around,’ he says in the mind link.I smile up at my mate. My mate who apparently makes Alpha quake in their shoes, but tells me my mind feels like something out of a Disney movie.‘If you tell anyone, I’ll deny it,’ he grumbles.‘Your secret is safe with me, my love,’ I say, watching his sexy Quirin smile spread across h

Her mind is feeling a bit more active,” I say, looking down at my mate who is still sleeping in my lap. I didn’t want to move her and I knew that she’d sleep better in my arms, and well, I just needed to hold her.“I think she might be a bit too comfortable. She needs to wake up to eat,” Yara says, smiling as she comes over to check her daughter.I look up at the woman who changed the path of my life so many years ago. “Thank you for saving her life.”She smiles at me. “You never have to thank me for saving a life. It’s what I do, and it’s what Kennedy does. We’re both very good at it, but I think that when she’s finished with medical school, she’ll be better at it than I am.”I ignore the part about not needing to thank her. Luna Yara has always been very humble about the significance of what she does. She saves lives and by saving one medically, she saves so many others by kee
