Bethany“Oh shit!”I let out. I was already outside my apartment when I remembered that I had forgotten something important. I turned around and bumped into Justin. “Sorry, I forgot something very important.”I told him, he looked at me in confusion and stepped out of my way.“My laptop. My agent will skin me alive if I don’t send her chapters that I have written.”I informed him without looking back. Sissy would scream my ears out if I don’t send in the chapters I promised her. I rushed into my apartment and realized and I stupidly left everything running. I turned off the desktop and disconnected my laptop. I picked up the charge, my notepad, and every other thing I could carry before going in search of my laptop bag. I found it and stuffed everything inside.“All done,”I said and made my way out of my apartment again. I live on the second floor of a six-story building so I don’t need an elevator. I made my way downstairs and spotted Justin’s car.“You got everything you want?”H
Bethany “Don’t speak to me like that, Bethany. Even if you think you are all grown now, you are still my daughter and I demand that you respect me. I am your mom.”I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes again. yeah, she always remembers she’s my mom when it comes to demanding respect.“Mom, I am not in the mood for this right now. Whatever Calista said, I did.”I told her. I know Calista already twisted the story and turned herself into the victim but I didn’t care enough today to correct her. it would only make the call longer and I didn’t want Justin to be subjected to listening while I go at it with my mom after hearing me fight with my sister earlier.“So, your sister came to you for help, not only did you refuse to help her, you also humiliated her. What have you turned into, Bethany? How can you be so wicked when you know how things are with your sister and how hard she works to keep her kids in school and make sure they aren’t homeless.”I laughed. I had to laugh if not I would s
Bethany “Oh hell!”I whispered when it dawned on me. Well, in my case, I have money for a baby and a DNA test will easily tell me who the father of my kid was.“Bethany! You listen to me, don’t speak to your sister like that. She doesn’t deserve to be treated the way you treated her. she’s your sister for crying out loud.”“Yeah, right. Wasn’t she my sister when she left me out in the cold while she was inside with her boyfriend? Wasn’t she my sister when she decided to not attend my wedding? Wasn’t she my sister when she denied me all through the years we were in school and even in college? Wasn’t she my sister when she only visited me once after I was diagnosed?”I yelled out each word. My mom wanted me to treat her like my sister when she never treated me like hers until she found out I had money and she could easily take from me. Yes, even after I got diagnosed and told that my chances were low, Calista only showed up once. She only started getting close to me after our parents
Bethany“Beth? Are you going to ignore me for the rest of the day?”Justin asked about thirty minutes later, I turned in his direction. Our eyes met and I realized he was worried for me. I smiled at him to show him I was okay.“What do you want to talk about?”I asked him, I wasn’t ignoring him because I was mad at him. Why would I be mad at him when he didn’t do anything wrong? He wasn’t at fault. He only pointed out something that I already knew. I would never want to punish Calista’s kids for the sins of their mother. Never.“I thought you were mad at me.”He said. I shook my head.“I am not mad. I just don’t have anything to say to you but if you have something to say or ask me then you can speak.”I assured him. he looked relieved after my words. I didn’t even realize that he thought that I was mad at him.“Tell me about your pack.”I blurted out before he could say anything. I wanted to know about his pack and whether it was the same as in the books I had read and written. I me
Bethany“Tell me.”Justin asked.“I don’t know yet but the doctor wants to see me. I did a CTC that night you guys took me to the hospital and the results are in. He wants me to meet him in person and that can only mean that he found something.”I tried to not cry but it was pointless. I looked down at my hands and realized that they were shaking. Justin must have noticed too because he covered my hand with his free hand and gave me a reassuring smile.“I don’t want to be sick again, Justin. It was hard the first time. I don’t want to do it all over again.”I cried. I still had the trauma of the previous time. I never want to go through something like that again. the constant pains, the having to shave off my hair and all. No, please.“I should make a turn, right? Sorry, I can’t remember the location.”He said, I forced a smile and nodded.“Yes, make a turn and take the left direction. We are very close.”I told him and wiped my eyes with the hand that Justin wasn’t holding. He let go
Bethany “Beth, I didn’t expect you to come so soon.”Sam said and stood up when he saw me. He paused when he saw the three men and raised his eyebrow questioningly.“They are with me.”I told him the same words I said to the nurse. He looked at me suspiciously. I mean, he did see them with me two nights ago too. if anyone would be suspicious, it has to be Sam. But I wasn’t ready to tell him anything yet.“Take your seats.”Sam ushered. I turned to the guys. They shook their heads.“You guys want to stand? Okay, no problem.”Sam said and we both took our seats. My heart started beating fast again.“Sam,”I called when he didn’t say anything after I sat down.“Are they going to be here when we talk?”He asked and I nodded. He let out a deep sigh and nodded too. I waited, even though I wanted him to hit me with the news.“I don’t want to scare you but I promised you from when we met four years ago that I will always be honest with you and that’s why when the test report came and I saw s
NicholasEven though the doctor quite literally told us we didn’t have anything to worry about yet before he left with Bethany, the three of us still got worried for her. When I got the call from Justin earlier, I really thought she changed her mind only to hear what she had to say.I couldn’t remember the last time I got so scared like I had felt the ride to the hospital. The few minutes that I had to wait with Kellian outside the hospital had been hell too. When I saw her look so sad and scared, it broke my heart and I wanted to do everything to protect her.Not just me, I saw the other guys too, and knew they felt the same. We all wanted to protect her and keep her away from harm.“Do you think the reason will be bad?”Kellian asked. We were in the doctor’s office together but we weren’t arguing or trying to bite each other heads off. It was a new development for us. I still felt resentful and still couldn’t totally accept how things had turned out but after she revealed that she
Bethany“Your result will be sent to the doctor once it’s ready and he will call you. It will be out within fourteen working days.”The medic told me after we were done. I nodded in understanding. I felt kind of dizzy. I have always hated MRI machines because of the after-effects on me.“Thank you.”I told her and made my way out of the MRI room and towards Sam’s office. I wonder how my lovers were doing. Hopefully, they weren’t arguing again. maybe I should have just let Justin bring me here and later told the others about it. I overthought everything after the call with Sam.“I don’t know,”I whispered to myself and found my way through to Sam’s office. I pushed it open and all three of them looked in the direction of the door. None of them were seated.“Did you guys stand all through?”I questioned them when I walked into the office. It would have taken about forty minutes to get the scan done and they stood throughout.“How are you?”Nicholas asked, coming to hold me. I smiled and
Bethany “Yeah, we haven’t.”He said and we both went silent. I let what we talked about replay in my head. it would really be nice to get pregnant. Twenty-nine seems like the perfect age to become a mom. I mean, I wanted to be a mom as early as twenty-six but I just had to choose the worst partner ever. So glad that I never procreated with him. My life would have been hell.Now, however, I feel like I have found the perfect man, no perfect men to procreate with and I feel like they will be really great daddies. The thought of them fuzzing over our kids kind of made me excited but then I had to remind myself that we need to pass the three weeks mark first before I start making any plans. Things seemed to be working just fine now because the guys don’t mind sharing but it might not be the same in the future. I decided to leave the thought for the future and focus on the present.“I can’t believe you outed us to your best friend like that.”I scolded him.“The truth is, I tell Ryan ev
Bethany“What does the thumbs up mean?”I asked Justin when it was just the two of us.“He approves of you. You called him beta. He accepts you as a member of the pack.”“What?”I let out. I didn’t expect to be a member of a pack. How does a human even fit in a werewolf pack?“Yeah, you are a member of this pack now. You are my mate and once we claim our mates, he or she officially becomes a member of the pack.”He explained.“But I am not a wolf. I am human, how will I be part of the pack when I can’t do the things that werewolves do?”I asked him. He smiled.“You don’t have to be a wolf to be a member of the pack. You are my mate. you are a part of me now. There’s a small part of me in you. You might not become a full shifter but you will get my DNA because of our mating bond so you might have a few noticeable changes but it won’t start now, if we stay together for a long time you will start to notice it more.”He explained. He made sense but at the same time, he didn’t make any sen
BethanyI leaned into Justin and smiled in greeting to the other man. I still felt out of it because I slept for so long. I don’t even know how long I slept but I knew it was long enough for it to be really late outside and for me to feel refreshed.I woke up alone in the big bed and it took a moment to remember where I was and when I finally remembered, I made my way downstairs to look for Justin and met him in his living room with another man.“This is my beta, Ryan. Ryan, this is my mate, Bethany.”My eyes widened in realization. He talked about his beta before after we met his beta’s mate. He was handsome but didn't have the same pull that my lovers had on me. He had a nice and welcoming smile too and I could already tell he was a sweet person even though I practically just met him.“I still can’t believe you found your mate. I thought you would die alone.”He said and Justin laughed. It was a shock for me because, in books that I have read, the beta always respects and fears the
Justin I want her. I can’t let her go and I know the other two wouldn’t want to let her go too. we just have to come to an understanding so that she doesn’t have to choose.”I told him. He still looked too shocked and was trying to process everything I just told him. He stood up and paced around my living room.“You are joking,”He paused to say.“I am not, I already accepted it. I invited him to my house and going forward both he and Kellian are allowed to enter the Marble Moon pack whenever she’s here.”I told him. He started pacing around again.“You are really serious about this whole thing? I have never heard of something like this. I mean, I have seen human men marry more than one wife but I have never heard of a woman with more than one husband.”I shrugged my shoulders.“She showed us our marks on her body. Kellian met her first and marked her first, I was second, and Nicholas last. We already accepted that fact and Nicholas didn’t mind that we took her together, he was turne
Justin“You are joking, right?”He asked, I wish I was. I shook my head.“You are joking. You have to be joking. Why will his mate be in your house and why would he come to see her here and you just said she is your mate so how is she his mate too?”Ryan asked, he looked so confused and in disbelief. Yeah, that’s how I felt the day I found out that it wasn’t just me who marked her. She didn’t just belong to me but also belonged to two shifters I don’t get along with.“That’s how it is. Bethany is Nicholas's mate and I invite him.”“You invited him?”Ryan asked, his voice a little too loud. I placed a finger over my lips to shut him up because I didn’t want him to wake Bethany up. I wanted her to sleep for at least ten hours.“Don’t shout, I don’t want you to wake my mate up.”I warned him. He let out a sigh and nodded.“You invited him to the pack? To do what?”Ryan asked, looking at me suspiciously.“To do whatever you are thinking right now.”I told him. his eyes widened again.“You
Justin “And you share her with two wolves you hate.”“Shut up.”I whispered to my wolf who scowled. I decided I had had enough of him and pushed him away, locking him out. I don’t do it often but when I need to, I usually disconnect our connection and just exist in my human form. He hates it but he will get over it.Thinking of the other guys, yeah, I still don’t like Kellian and Nicholas but we have one thing in common now.“Bethany.”I whispered. She responded to Nicholas just like she did to me. if she wasn’t mated to him, I am sure it wouldn’t have felt like that for Nicholas. Hell, he wouldn't have gotten in his car and driven to my pack if he wasn’t drawn by the mating bond like I was.“It’s inevitable. We will have to sit and talk about what we will do after the one month ends. I am not giving her up.”I let out and looked to the entrance of my house when I heard a noise. I looked away when I saw it was my beta.“What do you want?”I let out in my usual annoying voice that I o
Justin“You acted like some goodie two shoes today,”My wolf scolded. Yeah, he has been going at it all day since I told the guys that whoever gets to my pack first gets to fuck our mate. Heck, I don’t even know when I accepted the fact that she wasn’t mine alone. Maybe it was during the night we spent together.She apologized when I told her that I couldn’t let her go. It kind of hit me then that the others would feel just as I had felt after we had sex and she laid in my arms. Yeah, I don’t want to let her go but I also know that that’s how the others feel. Not to mention the fact that Bethany felt the same way for them that she felt for me.When she made the call and even while we spoke on the phone, I didn’t think that I would ask any of them to come over but once she left to go do as I told her. it just flashed into my mind and I thought why not and told them.Of course, they were up for it but Kellian couldn’t make it because he had business to take care of. Sucks for him and N
Bethany “Can’t he stay?”I asked Justin who shook his head.“He can’t. you belong to me for the week, I have been generous enough.”Fair enough. I kissed again and got out of bed, I reached for the oversized robe and wore it before turning to Nicholas.“I will walk you to the front door.”I told him. He nodded. I turned to Justin and flashed him a smile.“I will be back soon.”I said. he gave a thumbs up and laid on the bed. he didn’t even mind that Nicholas and I fucked multiple times on that bed while he was out. it smelled of sex yet he laid there with a smile on his face. I turned to Nicholas who reached for my hand. I took the hand he offered and together we walked out of the room.“I wish you didn’t have to leave.”I said, pouting in sadness. He laughed.“I have to leave. This isn’t my pack and it will be my turn soon. Don’t worry, you will be mine before you know it.”He assured me. I nodded and we climbed down the rest of the stairs in silence. I followed him to his car and l
Bethany “Time up.”That was what woke me up from my beautiful after loads of fucking sleep. I opened my eyes and saw Justin. I immediately smiled and looked over to the other side of the bed expecting to see Nicholas but he wasn’t on the bed. I looked around the room and spotted him already dressed and ready to leave.“You didn’t even wake me.”I scolded him. It reminded me of how they all left me while I slept over two weeks ago. Only that Nicholas didn’t actually leave while I slept. He made me breakfast and fucked me again before he left but now?He had been planning to leave without waking me, if Justin hadn’t walked into the room and spoken loudly, I would probably have woken up to him gone. Nicholas looked at me with guilt in his eyes.“Fucking idiot, you woke her up.”He said to Justin.“I didn’t know you were trying to sneak out and Bethany doesn’t look like she would have liked the idea of walking up to you already gone.”He said and looked at me. I nodded in agreement. If h
