Author’s POV.“Nat…” Judy said as soon as they were back in the Red Blood Pack, in Natalie’s room, but feeling her stress, Natalie motioned to her to come and sit with her in her bed.“What happened to the restaurant, Judy?” she asked her directly, remembering that she heard Judy whispering a soft ”mate!” when she saw Evan.BUt Judy just looked at her. How to tell her that her fated mate loves her, Natalie Hawkins, and not his fated mate? Natalie has no fault here and it is only Evan who makes things difficult.“If he hurt you, if Evan did something to you…” Natalie said and her heart beat rapidly. If Evan hurt Judy, there is no need for them to work together. She will find other allies, but before she could make an assumption, Judy said.“What?” and Judy gave her a soft smile. “No, Natalie, we are fated mates but things are complicated and before we could make a decision we agreed to stay just the way we are right now.”“Just the way you are?” Natalie looked at her in disbelief .”Th
“I have news!” Judy said as she stepped in Natalie’s office the next morning.“So soon?” Natalie couldn’t believe that everything was going so smoothly.“Well is not much, but it is a start and now we know for sure that Lexie Banks does not exist with this name.”“So she uses a cover name?” and Natalie placed her hands on the desk, stopping herself from what she was doing.“It is just the way Adam told you. He wasn’t lying, at least not this time. He really found her with those rogues, who he captured. I investigated them all night and every single one of them said the same thing. She showed up from nowhere, running from something or someone but never said anything about her past experience. No one knows which pack Lexie truly belongs.”“That’s not normal, Judy,” Natalie said and got up from her desk.“If she hadn’t anything to hide she would have been honest and talked about her roots.” and the thought that there must be more than she already knows about Lexie made her frown. What if
Lexie’s POV.I wasn’t born with a spoiled golden spoon in my mouth. I was at the bottom of existence most of my life and I fought for everything I achieved in this life which is practically nothing, but even for my right to share the same air with the rest of earthlings beings. I fought for that too!My mother, because she is the only one I remember, was a damn prostitute in my wolf pack. I was her only child and I would have done everything not to be born in this cruel world but I was, so I needed to find a way to survive since I was just a little pup.She never cared about me too much as she was bringing her clients to the place where we were living, and sometimes as a child I was accommodating her with my presence and I ended up being scolded all the time.“Don’t you know that I'm working now?” she was growling at me when I was crying because I was hungry.Or my favorite one: “I am working hard to offer you a place to live! Be grateful for what you have!” I remember staring at her
Lexie’s POV.The moment Pablo’s Luna expelled me was strange. What I felt at that moment is hard to explain. Did you ever feel both free but at the same time horrified for what is coming? I knew that Pablo and his psycho son would never touch me again, because they were just brazen in their pack, where they were protected by their own laws.They were mean but not stupid enough to follow me outside the borders of the pack.Elijah wanted to stop me, but he stayed for our son. I placed Nathan in his arms and turned my back to him and left.I loved my son with all my heart. How not to love that little bundle of happiness. He was the most perfect thing I did in this life and from the first moment I saw him I knew that he was going to love me forever, no matter what people would think about me, because he was my pup. He was my salvation.But as a rogue I would have destroyed his chances to be happy. And because I love him I left him with Elijah. I forced him not to follow me and take care
Author’s POV.But while in Natalie’s office Lexie was screaming like a mad woman facing her past, Adam was petrified.“Lexie, sweetie” he called her in a soft voice making Natalie’s heart tight and Kelly mourning in her mind, at a level Natalie wasn’t expecting. But if until now Adam was trying to keep the appearance, now he simply took Lexie in his arms, kissing her forehead.“Baby, please calm down,” he said, scared by Lexie’s reaction.“Maybe I should talk with her,” Pablo said, coming closer and motioning to Elijah to take little Nathan with him and leave. “Some memories must have been activated.” he insisted, “I am her daddy” he said with a shifty voice “I could try to make her calm like I did when she was with us” . and seeing this scene Natalie felt like puking.“Kelly, this is not right” she whispered, but Kelly didn’t answer but continued to cry in her mind, seeing that Adam is still holding Lexie at his chest, taking care of her.“Just call me” Adam whispered, as he put Lex
Author’s POV.“Kelly?” Natalie whispered and placed the cup of coffee on the table.“Damn it, girl! Why did you freak out right now when I need you the most?” she said to herself and closed her eyes.Since Adam said that he claimed Lexie, Kelly simply disappeared as if she was still expecting or hoping that Adam will want her and not Lexie. As if she wouldn’t already know that if she won’t fight back she will end up killed again.“What am I going to do with you, Kelly?” Natalie asked upset and looked at the food put in her face.After everything that happened yesterday she didn’t feel the pull to be at the same table with Adam and Lexie. She wanted to be alone. She wanted to focus and more than that to contemplate about how she could have more contact with Alex during his visits to Red Blood Pack.Judy offered her support but there are things that need to be discussed face to face and for that she needs opportunities to be alone with Alex.But as she was thinking of the way in which
“ I asked you something!” Alex growled at her , walking in her direction and making Lexie poop in her pants.“Someone like you should kiss the dust under Luna Hawkins feet because this was a saint comparing you, and yet you being just an omega you dare to talk behind you Luna and insist that she is cheating her husband? Did you see her doing that?” he asks and Lexie takes a few steps back.“I,I..I am sorry” she cried out stammering in front of Alex, but he was ferocious and it wasn’t for acting but he was really pissed off about her comments regarding Natalie.“Sorry?” and he laughed in her face, while the rest of the omegas were shocked. “What good is it to be sorry when I know for sure that you will continue to be the same stupid being you just are?” and pointing his finger into Natalie’s direction he asks with a very commanding voice.“Do you know who this woman is?” Lexie is cursing him in her heart but he is so powerful that she has no other chance but to beg him for forgiveness
Author’s POV.“Natalie!” Alexander called her again “I asked you something. Where is your wolf? I can’t feel her anymore, but Natalie just stares at him.How was it possible for him, a stranger , to know that Kelly was knocked out? She thought about it and realized that this was not something that could be noticed. At home no one realized that Kelly is missing. Not even Adam, and he was his husband. So how is it that someone like Alexander was able to realize that she was gone.“It’s so beautiful here!” Natalie whispered and sat on the grass by the lake’s shore. “Did I tell you that this is my favorite place on Earth?” she asked, trying to change the subject. “Every time I am upset I come here. It is my happy place” and she closes her eyes and lifts her face so that the sun ray’s can caress and warm her skin.Alexander just watched her. Her strawberry blonde hair looked like a fire under the sun’s light and her face was glowing , making her look surreal. She was so beautiful, but yet
