Storm
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a fist connected with my jawbone, knocking me to the ground as I heard Lilly cry out in shock. All my life I had made it a rule to give no one the satisfaction of seeing me in pain. I had to admit that that was a perfect hook that I had been hit with though, even for a lefty, it was a good one. I could hear Lilly screaming as I pushed myself up into a sitting position on the floor. “Wow, that was a nice punch. Have you been working old man?” I asked my father, letting slip a small chuckle, before spitting out a mouth full of blood and saliva onto one of his perfectly polished shoes. I looked back up at my father who was standing above me, with a look of pure fury upon his face.
“Admit it old man, come on, we’re all friends here. You’ve been working out and saving up all that energy for this very moment, ain’t that right, Rayland?” I taunted him in a teasing voice, calling him by his given name, an amused smirk upon my lips. I can’t hel
Storm I partially opened my eyes and noted that it was still dark inside the room, and there was no light showing in the gap between the curtains and the window. I now knew it was still the wee hours of the morning, and I had been awoken by a persistent voice that just wouldn’t let up. “Hey, Love,” Doyle whispered, “Love, Lena… Baby… Lena. Damn, you’re a heavy sleeper,” he whispered placing a kiss on the tip of my nose. I groaned, rolling over, burying myself under the blankets, still tired. “Baby, can we have sex?” Doyle whispered, a trace of hope in his voice. “Babe, it’s too early, go back to sleep,” I murmured, burrowing back into the covers. “Lena, baby, please. It is four in the morning, and I have the mother of all morning wood in my pants. It hurts,” he whined. “Well then, use your hand baby, that’s what you used to do before you met me isn’t it?” I whispered, trying to keep the trace of humour out of my voice. He groane
Storm I got dressed into a pair of yoga pants and a long-sleeved tee shirt before I pulled my hair up into a ponytail. Grabbing the pregnancy test, I went back out into the bedroom and crawled back into bed and lay on Doyle’s side of the bed. I snuggled under the blankets and cuddled up to Doyle’s pillow breathing in his scent, while clutching the test in my hand that was out of sight, hidden under Doyle’s pillow. I didn’t have to wait long before Doyle came back into the bedroom. When he saw me in bed, he looked a little surprised. Walking over to me, he stood beside the bed. “What are you still doing in bed, love?” he asked. “Planning on hibernating for the remainder of our trip while cuddling your pillow,” I replied, giving him a small smile. He grinned at me before asking, “Why bother hugging my pillow when you could hug me instead?” “Well, you were busy. Hey, I need to talk to you about something,” I told him, wanting to get it over with before I
Alpha Doyle I woke up in the early hours of the morning to a raging hard on in my pants. I looked over at Lena’s peacefully sleeping form, and needing some relief, I tried to wake her up. “Hey, Love,” I whispered, “Love, Lena… Baby… Lena. Damn, you’re a heavy sleeper,” I whispered placing a kiss on the tip of her nose. She groaned, rolling over, and burying herself under the blankets. “Baby, can we have sex?” I whispered. “Babe, it’s too early, go back to sleep,” she murmured sleepily. “Lena, baby, please. It is four in the morning, and I have the mother of all morning wood in my pants. It hurts,” I whined, my voice sounding like that of a horny teenager even to my own ears. “Well then use your hand baby, that’s what you used to do before you met me isn’t it?” she whispered, sounding amused at the situation I was now in. I groaned but didn’t bug her further about it as I rolled back onto my back. Slipping my boxers off I
Alpha Doyle A short time later, I left Sean’s room and made my way back to the bedroom Lena and I were staying in. When I entered the room, I was surprised when I saw her still in bed. Lena wasn’t usually one for sleeping in. In the time I had known her she put my daughters to shame when it came to getting out of bed early. My daughters had always been the type of girls to burrow under the covers and sleep until almost lunch time. Lena was like a breath of fresh air first thing of a morning. I walked over to her and stood beside the bed. “What are you still doing in bed, love?” I asked. “Planning on hibernating for the remainder of our trip while cuddling your pillow,” she replied. I grinned at her; she was adorable. “Why bother hugging my pillow when you could hug me instead?” I asked her in a teasing tone. “Well, you were busy. Hey, I need to talk to you about something,” she said, reaching out and patting the bed beside her. “Close
Storm Over the next couple of days Lilly, Julie and I were spending nearly all our free time together while Leah was trying to get to know her mate Mike. Although, if I was being honest, she tended to spend more time running away and hiding from him than she did trying to get to know him. And while I found her antics a little amusing, I had to admit that I was still on the fence about the guy. I knew that his possessiveness and his temper flare-ups unsettled Leah, and I honestly couldn’t say that I blamed her. If I were her, I would have been terrified out of my mind being fated to be with someone like that for the rest of my life. Seeing how Mike was acting at the moment, succeeded in making me appreciate how much care Doyle had taken when he had learned we were mates. Doyle had been intent upon helping me to be at ease when we had first found out we were fated to be together, whereas Mike seemed to be all about Mike. Leah had told us she had held
Storm Two weeks later We had been back from Italy for two weeks when Leah had come down to breakfast one morning and made it evident to all of us, she had accepted Mike as her mate. They had completed the mating process, and she had proudly shown us her mark as she had sat down with us to have breakfast; I had noticed that while Mike had marked Leah; she hadn’t marked him in return. We all congratulated her on her decision, but despite Leah’s decision, Mike was still not on my list of favourite people. I had decided that he wouldn’t be endeared to me until he had proven himself to me and to the pack. I needed him to prove himself as a worthy mate to Leah and as a worthy member of this pack. Leah deserved nothing but the best. The same went for Lilly and Julie. I only wanted the best for them. After we had learned of Leah’s decision, that night after we had eaten our dinner, Doyle and I had made our way into the lounge roo
Storm Five months later As my pregnancy has progressed, Doyle has made it a point to never be too far from my side. I don’t have long now until my baby is due. Although I am not as large as most humans are when they get closer to the end of their pregnancy. I still have a cute little baby bump. Doyle has made it a habit of placing his hands on my baby bump and talking to the baby every chance he gets. I find it adorable the way he always talks to the baby. Whenever he does it, he is always so careful and so gentle, and his gentleness only makes me love him more. Doyle and I have had many times where we have discussed names throughout the course of my pregnancy. However, we could never bring ourselves to settle on any of the names we had mentioned. I was looking forward to meeting our baby. The closer my due date got, the more excited I became. The pack has its own hospital, and we had been going there for all my prenatal appointments. Wh
Storm Since we had arrived at the hospital, things had gone by in a blur. My labour has progressed along, and Doyle and I have now been up at the hospital for over two hours. I clung to his hand, trying to reassure him I was fine. I knew that this must be difficult for him after everything he had been through with his previous mate. Looking over at me, he asked, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine, it just hurts, that’s all,” I replied giving his hand a gentle squeeze. I had opted to go through my labour drug-free. I didn’t want to risk my baby’s health by dosing up on pain medication. I was satisfied I could do this without the use of pharmaceuticals. I kept taking deep breaths in and out and trying to keep my mind clear so the pain couldn’t get to me and take me over. With Mason and my dad, I had experienced pain before for sure, but this pain was unlike anything I had ever felt before. Doctor Shailer had been monitoring my progress, and it wasn
