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
The next morning, Heather found out that her father hadn’t left her mother’s side at all. He’d stayed the night and if they argued, it didn’t happen within earshot of her. Dr. Paxton cornered her mates at one point that afternoon while Heather went in search of something for Mae. He apologized and gave them a theory of why he acted as he did. Heather couldn’t believe his story as Jay relayed the tale to her. “He appeared to really be regretful. But I’m not sure how much of the story came from your mother and what she said to your father.” “What do you mean? What about it could be so unbelievable?” “When did anyone force a triad mate to choice only one of the other two in the last century? Who would do something so terrible as that?” “If I remember my history, didn’t they believe the rejected mate would find a second chance, love? That came with the belief that if a triad mating stayed together, it would be selfish, and someone wouldn’t
Some of the general public who were aware of what Jack and Russell did to their own people and others. The complete list of all their victims would never exist, but their punishment wouldn’t end for a very long time. Jack thought with Russell’s death, he could disregard him and ever deal with his kind of crazy again. He found out during his sentencing that wouldn’t be the case. The Ruling Council wanted Russell to suffer right alongside Jack. How could that be? What could they do to make this happen? Russell didn’t have a body any longer. How would they make Russell suffer? Jack, at first, didn’t understand how Russell’s punishment would line up with his. His turn, experiencing genuine horror, came at his sentencing. The Ruling Council didn’t make him wait long for their answer. He didn’t get the chance to agree or disagree with the punishment. It would happen, and it didn’t matter if he resisted. He would fail in the end. His punishment came
Mae took the better part of the afternoon to search the yearbooks for the one photo of the boy she remembered. Heather now understood who Rose truly looked like, and it wasn’t her mother. The boy in the photo had the same hair and nose as Rose. The name below the picture read Alec Jordan. Heather would have been attracted to him too if she didn’t have two mates already. “Do you remember anything about him? Did Russell know him?” Heather needed more information about him. She didn’t know how any of the little details would be the key that solved this mystery. “Of course, Russell knew Alec. They kicked Russell out of school because he messed with Alec. Back then, Russell was a normal bully, and we could deal with him. Tyler’s father kept him in check back then. But Alec and Ethan, that’s Tyler’s father, if you remember. They didn’t get along with each other. Being that they both were alphas. Ethan received an active pack from his father. Alec wasn’t so lucky.
Six Months Later It took many months to clean out all the artwork and find out where it should go. Some of it would never find its way back to its owners because they’d been stolen from collections that weren’t legal. These they sold. Others gained rewards for and such. By the time they were done, several museums profited, as did several private collectors. The account came up profitable, and Ty used it to build the memorial and fix up a few things around the town and pack territory. A lot received a facelift because of what Russell’s greed made him do. If he hadn’t been so greedy, then he wouldn’t have hoarded all the artwork. Which meant they wouldn’t have found the money so easily. It had become a waiting game for it. But it would take time to get it all dealt with because it all must be authenticated, traced, and finally settled one way or another. The auction house now became a no go. It no longer functioned as an entity. They’d worked at one time as a
