Ty and Rose stood a distance away from the Icehouse. It was nearly a month since efforts to find out who had been abandoned there started. With the onsite effort concluded, Ty made the decision that the Icehouse needed to go like Russell’s pack house. There would be no more use for them. The negative memories were too much for the pack to deal with. The Icehouse would burn today. Carefully controlled by the pack. The local fire department stood at the ready if anything went wrong. They chose today for this because the weather was perfect for it with little wind. Once this happened, then a memorial could be built on this site for Russell and Jack’s victims. Heather worked on identifying and compiling a list of names for the bones she had. The Ruling Council sent a team of people to her to assist in this. Her father stepped back from this and stay with his mate as she received help from others trained in helping trauma survivors. Rose last heard
“I’ll be done in a minute.” Heather didn’t know which one banged on the bathroom door like that. Normally, the boys walked in directly without knocking. Usually, one or both shared the shower with her. The banging didn’t stop, so Heather threw open the door to find her father standing there. “Two mates? When were you going to tell me, you had two bloody mates, Heather?” He wasn’t taking this well. Well, she hadn’t expected him to. “When did you get back, Dad?” She looked behind him at another two faces that looked none too pleased with this. “How’s mom?” His eyes flared. “Don’t change the subject. You mated with both?” “Dad, that’s my business. Really, there are a lot of other things you need to think about then who I’m sleeping with or how many mates I have. I’m a grown she-wolf and I can look after myself. I have been for a long time. You were just too busy to see that. Now how is Mom? What brought you back here?” “Your mother wants to see y
Rose dealt with a lot of things in a day that she’d never expected to deal with. Not because she didn’t know about it or actually deal with them before this. But because she’d never expected to be the Luna of any pack. Her father clarified she didn’t have a place within his pack going into the future. Which Rose planned to leave the area and being under his constant thumb. She’d always believed it odd how he could keep her under his thumb and yet still neglect to acknowledge her existence in the pack and the world in general. But he’d achieved it. Now, as she looked at the reports, Rose saw her identity crumbling and she didn’t know who she was anymore. Who was her father and why did her mother stay with Russell when, clearly, she’d wanted someone else? If Russell wasn’t her father, it would explain why he treated her as he did. He believed her mother betrayed him with someone else and Rose was the proof of that. Heck, she’s always assumed that Russell and
Heather waited inside the healing center, waiting to gain permission to see her mother. She didn’t know what to expect. No one, not even her father, gave her any idea of what to expect when she met this stranger who’d given birth to her all those years ago. How did one talk to a stranger that you shared a body with for months long ago and should be the closest person in your life? Heather didn’t have a clue, and she felt like any minute now she’d turn around and walk away from all of this because it felt like too much to expect from her. Heather didn’t have a clue how her mother felt about all of this. But supposedly, she asked Heather to come. The journey there wasn’t under the best of circumstances since her father wouldn’t accept that Mikey and Jay were her mates. The cold shoulder could have maintained a freezer full of food for a year. But this is how her father always had been for as long as she knew him. He only ran one why, his way. Her father expec
Heather waved the guys on and told them to get her a coffee. She’d only be a minute or two. There would be no way that she’d miss hearing this. After finding out that her straight laced father should have been part of a triad. Heather wanted to know if there could be more to the story and why he acted the way he did. “Heather, it’s rude to do that and they’re your parents.” Mikey didn’t like the sound of this, and he felt tempted to drag her away kicking and screaming. But he knew that wouldn’t go down well within a healing centre. “Exactly, and I don’t know anything about their relationship. Now go, we’ll discuss this later.” Heather shooed them off with her hands. “Love you two. Just go. I won’t be long.” The two male wolves reluctantly left the corridor, leaving Heather outside her mother’s room as she listened to what went on inside the room. “Now come here and help me back to bed. I hate being this weak.” “I still don’t understand why you
Ty entered the packhouse, and before he could ask where Rose was. Everyone pointed him in the direction of his private apartments. When he finally reached the apartment, the delicious aroma of a hot meal hit his senses. The first sign his mate had plans for the evening for them. He’d have to put his plans on hold. They no longer had that urgent need to fix things so they could survive. There weren’t any pending disasters. Now they had only cleaned up and were working toward a better future for everyone. Today they started building the memorial. Ty worked in the town listening to the issues of the day. He and the people he’d hired to protect the town and region spent the day listening to the concerns. They worked out several action plans that, in the coming days, he’d have to enact. But the point here is he found the town’s respect for him grew because, unlike Russell and Jack. Ty didn’t use fear to keep the peace. He used friendship and goodwill to solve the issues of th
Heather entered the hotel room from the bathroom. They were staying there to be close to her mother. Shifters ran the hotel, and it was close to the hospital for patients’ family members to stay in. Mikey and Jay were already blowing off steam on the bed, and Heather watched. Her core wept to experience the power struggle between the two as they both tried to dominate the other. Hard, straining bodies wrestled with each other. Flashes of their straining cocks had Heather’s mouth watering. She wanted to suck them both, but she didn’t know which one she wanted first. Eventually, Jay had Mikey under him, and Jay looked up at Heather with an evil grin on his face. “Come on, love. Come sit on his face while I suck him off.” Mikey’s face lit up at the idea of feasting on her excited core. His cock noticeably twitched and Heather saw that as a clear encouragement. She kneeled beside her mates, her back to Jay. She straddled Mikey’s throat. “Enjoy babe.” Her pussy glisten
“Listen to me Amber. You can move in, but we won’t be mating yet. I can’t do it. I want to, but I can’t. You don’t know me and I’m not going to live with a mate who hates me because I took advantage of her. Do you understand?” “Like crystal, but that doesn’t matter really, because I don’t agree with it.” Amber said this with a pinched face. She looked like she smelled something that was off. “You’re my mate. Why would I hate anything about you? Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of having fated mates? Hm? Come on Heath, you’re being a coward. My father can’t do anything about us because I’m an adult. Even though he sees me as a pup, I’m not and I haven’t been one for a long time.” Heath couldn’t believe she still thought he feared her father. What Heath knew now about her father was he had him in his corner about this situation with Amber. “Thank the goddess you aren’t a pup. I don’t think I could handle having a mate who’s a pup.” The thought of Amber as a pup didn
