The stranger that got me pregnant is my alpha mate Chapter 27
Mia “They can’t all be dead.” Everything in me insisted it was impossible. My friends, my family…my pack. Gone, all gone.Liam made yet another circuit of the village, disappearing into each small home as he searched for any living person. Anyone who might be too sick to respond to our calls.We’d already checked, of course. Here and in the outlying homes. Some were empty, their inhabitants now residents of the new mounds in the cemetery. Headstones were not our tradition, nor any marking of who lay in each mound. We sought to return to the earth without marking her more than necessary. The names of those who died were added to the memories of the bards of each generation, to be recited every Samhain at the bonfire.They were not trained, these bards, or rather not taught the tales they imparted. Most did have some lessons in elocution, in singing, and of course in playing instruments. But the actual information, the lists of names of those gone before, the heroic tales, the tragedie

Will you agree to our terms?” Selin asked. “If not, despite your feeling or intuition or whatever it is, we’ll have to insist you move closer to the others. We are responsible for you, and we can’t do a good job with that at this distance.”“Up to you, Healer.”They’d had this argument with my grandmother, but she’d been older and tougher and actually did have someone living with her. Me.“Very well. Right after Christmas.”I could see them both ready to argue, but I waved my hand at them. “I’ve been here all this time alone, and nobody will want to move right now with all the celebrations beginning. They will want to be with their families and friends.” And maybe in all the happy chaos, I could conveniently forget, or take my time deciding who…or whatever it took to keep from having an unwelcome roommate who would probably be just as unhappy about the whole thing as I was. “Agreed?”They shared another silent communication then faced me again and nodded. “Very well.” Tal stood. “Than

MiaWe had all our camping gear but not much food left. After all, we’d expected to return to a fully stocked kitchen—and probably another feast in our honor. Instead, we’d faced a horror beyond imagining. If it had been just me, if I had not had Liam with me, I think I’d have given up. For shifters, pack was everything. Family, friends, support system. Sometimes someone married into another pack, but the connection formed by that mating would serve to unite the two, like extended family.Our pack had been rather isolated, which was one of the reasons we’d intended to visit others. Unfortunately, we’d been all about being alone together and in love and never made it that far. Now…well, now we had a whole slew of problems that innocent honeymoon couples did not. Or at least did not know they did. While our families were dying, we were enjoying romantic sunsets and frolicking four-legged. Making love. My stomach churned as I tried not to chant over and over in my head that I should have

Liam I never anticipated ending up in this situation. And neither did Mia, or at least I felt confident that he hadn’t. At the moment, he was tossing and turning with a high fever. Mine was lower, or at least I was conscious. For all the good it would do us. Because while we’d both been out, the tent had been covered by snow, and I wasn’t sure how I could get us out without filling the one shelter we had with snow.Reaching over, I tucked the sleeping bag higher around my husband’s shoulders in the darkness. I had flashlights and a lantern but didn’t want to use up the batteries when I had no way of knowing how long we’d be in here. Walking away from our village was the hardest thing I’d ever dreamed I’d have to do, but now, listening to my husband’s harsh breathing, I knew there were worse things.Fortunately, our stomach symptoms weren’t too bad. Yet, at least. We’d both been vomiting, one of the reasons, along with the weather, that we’d decided to set up camp here. But that had e

LiamI thought she was going to throw us both out in the snow. Probably the only thing that kept her from doing it was being a healer. Her eyes went so wide, I expected them to bulge before they narrowed again. “I do not belong to anyone,” she asserted. “You and your husband belong to one another, and I am merely here to help you feel better.”“My wolf is very sure of this,” I told her, “but perhaps we can discuss it later.”“There is nothing to discuss,” she assured me, easing my arms from the coat. “Except how to get both of you well.”“Your wolf hasn’t said anything?” My head was pounding and my stomach starting to churn again. Reminding me in no uncertain terms that we were endangering this woman’s life by even being here. I took a step back from her.“Why don’t you take a seat at the table and rest?” She took my arm and guided me to the spot she’d indicated. “And, while I get the fire going, you can tell me what’s wrong with you both.”I didn’t have the strength to fight her, hav

“That’s it, Mia, just wake up long enough to take your medicine. You got me into that tent when I was worse off than you, now it’s my turn to help. And more…we got to Triple L pack lands just like we planned. Like our alpha wanted. Jessica is our friend, and she’s our mate, so if you will just wake up, you’ll get to meet her.”Oh… “I’m not—that’s it. I think I see one eye…yes. Atta boy, Mia. You’re doing it. We’ll have you well in no time.” I’d learned a long time ago that the patient’s confidence in the healer made a huge difference in their results. If he thought, if they thought, I knew what I was doing, that I had the path to good health laid out for them, they might just make it. “Now, open your mouth and I’ll spoon some of this yummy tea in.”“Now you’re just lying to him.” Liam chuckled, the happiest I’d heard him sound since I found them. “It’s not yummy, but it is potent. I already feel clearer-headed. And I think a little bit less achy.”“Listen to your mate, Mia.” His mate

Jessica My patient was thirsty, and here I stood arguing with the patient’s husband about whether he was or was not my mate. In fact, Liam was also my patient albeit one not nearly so sick. I poured a mug of tea and hurried to Mia’s side. His eyes were open, but he lay on his side, so I set the drink down and helped him get propped up with pillows. “I brought you some more tea.” I placed the cup in his hands and then smoothed the covers around his waist. “It’s better for you than water.”He lifted it to his lips then made an awful grimace. “This is what my mouth tastes like. It’s what I wanted the water to get rid of. Ugh.”Liam burst into laughter. “I’ve had at least a hundred cups of the stuff and, while it’s absolutely vile, I think it’s doing the job. I’m not nauseous anymore and all the pains are fading back.”“Not a hundred,” I protested, hurrying back to the kitchen for a glass of water. “But you’re right, it is working.” She perched on the edge of the bed and swapped out the

Jessica I had no business crawling into bed with these two.But looking down at Mia lying against the white pillowcases, still not 100 percent but fighting so hard to get his health back, I just wanted to offer all the comfort I could. I believed the toxin was a heavy metal or perhaps chemicals from mine tailings. It would take some onsite checking to be sure, something we couldn’t do while still locked down by this storm. But Liam was nearly healed, and Mia was getting better by the hour.The tea my grandmother taught me to make was doing its job. For which I was very grateful. But what would she tell me to do in this situation?Listen to your wolf, child. She’s a gift to you, one few in this world has to rely on.But what about when it meant going from living completely alone and being the master of my own destiny to becoming part of a relationship already so complete and beautiful it made me want to weep? So when I replied to Mia’s request that I join them in my huge bed with, “All

Mom is still pissed off?” I asked him, and he sighed before nodding.“I think you really pushed her too far this time, Mia. Mom has banned me from seeing you and says she doesn’t want me to become corrupt like you.” His words stung, but I knew it wasn’t his intention.“Maybe go stay with Mia’s father and Dan till things calm down,” he said.“No, the river won’t be so bad. She will forgive me eventually. That’s what mothers do,” I said, though my mother wasn’t like normal mothers. “Besides, Dan has Melana there all the time. I can’t stand her.”“What are you going to do about blood? You can have some of mine, but I know it won’t taste too good.”I shook my head. “It’s fine. I will just catch something,” I told him though that didn’t sound all that appealing.He nodded before digging through his bag again. “Here,” he said, handing me some money. I shook my head, trying to pass it back to him.“No, keep it. I will be fine. I don’t want your pocket money, Liam. I just wanted to see you.”

“Liam, calm down! You think we asked for this to happen?” I heard Mia’s Dad yell at her as Liam and I rushed out, peering over the balcony to the floor below. Mia’s Dad ducked as she threw something at him, and it hit the wall behind him, leaving a dent.“Love, enough,” I heard Liam, my stepfather, tell her.“What? Are you fucking okay with this? It is fucking wrong!” she screamed, and curiosity got the better of Liam and me. I crept down the steps. Liam, also curious, followed me. One of the steps creaked under his weight, and he smiled, his teeth clenched and his eyes squinting. My mother looked up at me, her face twisting in anger at the sight of me.“And you! You wait till I get my hands on you!” she growled, about to storm up the steps.Thanks, Liam. Now we don’t know what they were arguing over, I thought to myself when I saw my mother’s thong flying toward me. I ducked before snorting that she just threw her shoe at me. I watched Liam dart off, escaping her fury.“Get here now!

Dan came out fully dressed a few minutes later after showering.“Come on. You need to face her sooner or later. Better with us with you,” Dan said, gripping my elbow and pulling me toward the door.Ididnotwantto go home. My mother would still spank me even though I was nearly eighteen. That woman was crazy and damn, did she have a good hand. I could still remember the last ass-kicking she gave me, never thinking I would walk the same again. She branded my ass real good that day.Only this time, I really messed up. I burned the entire science lab down. I still believe it wasn’t completely my fault. Yes, I burned the classroom down, but I only intended to destroy the table, not blow the entire place up. Not my fault someone left the gas on, the teacher was supposed to turn it off before locking it up.Dan opened the back door of the car, pushing me toward it.“How about you both go, and I wait here?” I suggested. Mia’s father looked over at me from the other side of the car.“Get in the

“Doesn’t look like it!” he snapped at us. I dropped my arm on Mia’s father shoulder, jerking him toward me before slapping his chest.“We are good. Right, bro?”He slapped mine harder. “Never better,” he said.“Good! I need one of you to help me get the lights up there,” Mia said, pointing to the railing along the awning.Mia’s father walked over to her, grabbing her and placing her on his shoulders. I growled at him, and Liam looked at me, giving me a look ofwhat-the-fuck-is-going-on. I shook my head, walked over, and passed the lights up to Mia as she clipped them onto the awning.“What’s wrong with you two morons?” she asked.MiaAs I was getting out of the car, I knew my mother was going to kill me. After nearly five years and only coming home on holiday breaks, I had finally pushed too many buttons, and they kicked me out of school.My father had sent Jacob to get me from Avalon City. A lot of us mutations had trouble fitting in with pack wolves. So Avery and Aamon, who was alrig

Mia’s dad These bloody meetings were boring, but Liam insisted we sit through the Alpha meet every year. We still had a year before we took over Black Moon Pack, so I thought it rather pointless when we didn’t actually get a say in anything yet.They weren’t so bad, though. My entire family was here, seeing as we all came from Alpha bloodlines. My aunty Mia was here with her husband Mike, from the Crescent Pack. My older sister Nikki and her two mates, Tate and Drake, from the Forest Pack were also here. And of course, my other older sister Jessica and her mate Chase, from the Red River Pack were here sitting next to my mother. Black Creek Packs Alpha, Dan, and his Luna were also here with two other packs, whom I couldn’t remember for the life of me. Kind of pointless when my family ran the majority of the packs. Not like the other three packs could argue; no one wanted to piss off hybrid wolf packs. And they sure as hell didn’t want to piss off my brother Liam, the Alpha King, a tit

“No. No, I’m not. But I told you. I’m a wolf. A wolf shifter. And the PDA is an agency that sets up shifters on dates. So while nobody told me what your guys turn into, it stands to reason it’s something. And since polar bears in the wild in California are kinda not a thing, those bears are your guys.”Her friend had lost her mind. “Nikki, have you hit your head on something?”“Honey, if I was there, I’d shift and show you.”“But the full moon was yesterday.”She snorted. “Fairy tales. We shift whenever we want to. Look, I feel fairly confident of this, but have you looked around where you saw the bears.”“Yeah.”“Any blood? Body parts? Brains spattered across the snow.”Jenni winced. “Eww. No.” She refilled her cup and sat again, warming her hands on the ceramic.“Then describe to me exactly what you saw.”And Mia did just that. By the time her phone went dead, she was convinced her friend at least believed she was a wolf. She’d never said anything like that before. In the modeling w

Mia Mia barely understood what Dan was whispering to her so urgently. Something about a rescue. had to go. She should stay here, keep the fire burning and not go outside until they returned. It was still storming, and they hated to leave her alone.He’d said something about working on the mountain, must be search and rescue. They had rushed out so quickly she hadn’t had a chance to ask for details, but when someone was in danger, chatting wasn’t a first priority.Stretching, she stood and found one of their shirts. She had her luggage around here somewhere, but the white tee fit her like a nightshirt and smelled amazing, like deep-green forest meets sexy male. Their voices faded, and the door slammed behind them as she arrived in the great room. How long would they be gone? These things took days in the movies. She hoped whoever was in trouble could hang on until they got there.She moved toward the kitchen, planning on the world’s hugest cup of coffee, but something outside the wind

MiaPlaying for these two men could have so many meanings, but Mia was pretty sure she’d like all of them. At least if the night before was any indication. For the first time since before she stated modeling, she didn’t even care if she had coffee before starting her day. They lay on either side of her and mirrored one another, starting with nuzzling her ears, nibbling the lobes, grazing her neck with their teeth then doing the same to her shoulders. She shivered, already soaked between her legs and with her nipples on full alert.She hadn’t lied. They had ruined her for anyone else. And while Liam’s invitation to “stay forever” was just pillow talk, she could pretend. Pretend they wanted her for all of their lives, to make love to and ride snowmobiles to gorgeous settings for her photography. Maybe they’d be willing to pose. Usually she preferred nature scenes, but adding these two could only improve on the backdrops. Mother Nature was responsible for them, too, after all. But even

Her smooth countenance told him nothing, but finally a little grin quirked one side of her mouth and her cheeks flushed. “Kiss him again?”He let out his breath in a whoosh, bubbles of joy spinning through his veins. So relieved, he didn’t move, but Liam reached across their mate and cupped the back of his head in his big palm. “Partner, the lady made a request.”This kiss was nothing short or fast, and by the time they drew apart and glanced down, Mia’s eyes sparkled with crystal tears. “That was so beautiful. I could tell you were super close, last night and, let’s face it, comfortable naked together, but since you didn’t umm interact with each other, I didn’t know if you were just good friends in the habit of sharing women or…” She swallowed hard and the tears spilled over, pouring down her cheeks. “Why do you even need me? I-I…you love each other so much. I’m just in the way.”They both stared then Liam as usual voiced what they both thought. “Mia, of course we love each other. We
