Eric’s P.O.V
I hated being interrupted, but as an Alpha, I had a responsibility to be available to my pack. Normally I would have kept my mind guard up, but I had got carried away in the moment and let it slip, allowing Tatiana’s sickly-sweet voice invade my head. She wanted to know where I was, and I responded with, ‘showing our guest to her room’ before blocking her out again.
I looked down at the beautiful creature beneath me and sighed. She was perfect. She looked up at me smiling a little. Her beautiful blue eyes made me want to dive into them. A light pink tinge flushed her cheeks. I had never felt this way about anyone before. I kissed her softly and she kissed me a little more eagerly back before pulling away.
“I guess you have to go.” She said looking away. She was trying to hide her disappointment, but she was my mate, I could feel everything she
Sophie P.O.VIt had been almost a month since Eric’s Mother had found us in the kitchen. Gary and Mary had been given a small cottage within the centre of the territory. There wasn’t enough room for them to stay in the pack house.Gary and Dr Sven had left the territory almost three weeks ago. Up until their departure they had been very secretive and distant. A week later Gavin had joined them at Eric’s request apparently. Eric was also avoiding me at all costs. It didn’t take a scientist to figure out that his Mother was royally pissed at finding us the way she did, hence his decision to keep his distance. In fact, I’d seen more of Eric’s Mother glaring at me then I saw Eric.By week three I was beginning to feel very isolated. I spent most of my time with Mary. She loved being back in the pack. She even found some of her old friends and was able to reconnect with them. I was happy for her.I normally spe
After Luke left, I spent the day crying and sleeping. I didn’t know what I should do. If I were pregnant how could I tell Eric? If Eric were the reason for me being sick how would I overcome that? What if it was a combination of both? I couldn’t be pregnant at 18! What would Mary and Gary think?By six o’clock my eyes were all cried out and my throat was dry. I sat up and noticed my headache had returned. Sculling some water, I thought about taking two pain killers but wondered if I were pregnant would I hurt the baby.A knock sounded at my door and I got up reluctantly. I thought I must have been Luke coming to check on me and I wasn’t in the mood to talk right now.Opening the door, I started my ‘thanks but no thanks’ speech “Luke I’m sorry but...”I looked up to find Eric staring down at me. “Expecting someone else?” He snapped.“Yes actually.” I was in no mood for his
Sophie P.O.VI woke up to a blipping sound coming from my right. I didn’t open my eyes, I was too afraid to look around. I was excited to be able to feel Dove. Her presence was much stronger. I could reach out and touch her. But I still couldn’t hear her. It was comfort enough to know she was there.I moved my hand across my stomach and gently patted it. Was there really a pup in there? I let out a long sigh as my hand pressed lightly to my stomach. An image of a young boy, no more than three, played in my mind. His eyes were a piercing blue, his wavy hair a dark chocolate brown. He looked up at me and smiled before letting a happy giggle escape his lips. A warmth spread over my face and I smiled. I was proud and so in love with him. Was he mine?I opened my eyes, a giant smile spread across my face. But the room was in darkness and the beeping returned. I felt cold. I sob rose in my throat and I let it out, closing my eyes again. What was I going to
Sven P.O.VIt had been five very long weeks. We were no closer to tracking down the mystery black wolf. I had spoken to my friends at the Forest Moon Pack. They hadn’t seen or heard of a black wolf which concerned me. It meant that the wolf was only after Sophie.When Gary told me the full story, I couldn’t believe that Sophie was Diana’s daughter. I had loved Diana. She was the comfort I needed after my wife had died. She’d moved to our pack, but she wouldn’t tell us where she originally came from. I didn’t have the information that Gary was looking for. I didn’t even know she was pregnant. I only every remember telling her about my hero, Gary and how wonderful he’d been training me to be the doctor I am today.There was something that bothered me. Something about Gary’s story that hit deep within me and I tried to work out the maths. The last time I saw Diana was eight months before her death.
Sophie P.O.VThe doctor came in about two hours after I told Luke and Eric I was leaving. He said that I was alright to return to my room. He gave me the name of some good multivitamins I can take for the baby and asked me to book in next month for my 12-week scan. Little did he know that I wouldn’t be staying.I made my way slowly down the now very familiar hospital corridor towards the stairs. I felt exhausted but all I wanted to do was pack. Mrs Russo waved to me from down the second-floor corridor and I forced a happy smile back. I kept climbing and finally made it to the Alpha’s floor.Panic ran through me thinking about the night Luna Bianca pushed me up against the wall and I clutched at my throat instinctively. The sooner I was away from here the better. I kicked myself that I didn’t try and get back home rather than coming here. I was better off without werewolves in my life.A str
Sophie P.O.VI couldn’t believe what I had witnessed. I knew I was in some kind of shock. My throat felt raw.My room was a mess. I hadn’t realised how much had been thrown around during our fight. I stood up and began picking up bits and pieces. Eric and James stood watching me for a while. My arm hurt but it was magically and gradually healing itself. It was fascinating.After a few minutes, Eric came up and grabbed the rubbish in my hands, passing it to James before taking my hands and leading me to the sofa. We sat down with a thump which snapped me out of my state of perplexity. Eric kept a hold of my hands and I saw James had started to pick up fractured pieces that once used to be a vase.I looked back at Eric. This was it. He was going to reject me now. Even if my body was screaming for his touch, I knew I couldn’t carry on just existing and only being noticed when it suited him.“I’m ready for yo
Eric P.O.VI took Sophie back down to the pack hospital despite her complaining. I wanted to make sure she and the pup were ok. Her cut on her arm was healing fast but I wanted to get a doctor to check her out just in case.I wished Dr Sven were here to look after Sophie. He was discreet and effective at his job and I would be able to talk to him about my growing fears surrounding Sophie’s abilities. I didn’t want to frighten her, but I wondered whether her Mother had been a member of the Golden Sun pack. They were notorious for breeding with other magical beings. However, I wanted to focus on getting Sophie to trust me again. That was far more important.We were waiting in a private suite while the doctor retrieved the portable ultrasound machine. In honesty I was excited to see our pup. I squeezed Sophie’s hand and she giggled.“What?” I asked.&ld
(Warning this episode contains 18+ content)Sophie P.O.VWhen we’d been sitting at the restaurant the first time I felt it. The sensation of hairs raising on the back of my neck. That gnawing feeling that someone is watching you. It had disappeared when our conversation relaxed. But now I felt it again.I grabbed Eric’s hand and he pulled me to him. He scanned the darkness for something, anything that would explain the sensation running over our bodies. I was relieved he sensed it to.“Some is watching us.” I said in a whisper. Eric nodded. He turned towards the door of our suite and moved me inside.“Stay here for a minute.” He said it hushed tones. I didn’t want him to go and reached out towards him. “Hey its ok. Blaze and I just want to check things out. Lock the door and don’t open it until I say it’s me.” I nod frantically
Eric P.O.VIt had been four days since I woke up and we were no closer to figuring out how to get Sophie back. We spent most of the time quarrelling. It didn’t help that James still had trouble believing me and it put a strain on our Alpha-Beta relationship. We couldn’t agree on anything anymore and it troubled me.We located Tatiana back at her cottage. She had also been tricked into believing I was the one that released her and that I wanted her back. When she saw me, she flung her arms around me, kissing me. Luke dragged her off and we sat her down telling her she had been tricked into believing I wanted her back. She had insisted that she had felt the mate bond with my doppelgänger. She claimed that the moon goddess had gifted us a gift as second chance mates. To prove her wrong, I clutched her hand and there were no sparks. She was bitterly disappointed. If anything, it proved that whoever had tricked her was in fact her second chance mate.
Eric P.O.VThere was pain. I felt as if I was deep inside a fire, flames licking my sides. Sophie stood in the distance. I tried to reach her. She cried out for me. She reached for me, but I couldn’t help her. ”Sorry I couldn’t be what you wanted. I will always love you.” She cried out. I fell to my knees as darkness consumed me.I woke sweating profusely. It was like my body was still in the fire. Rhea stood over me, tears on her cheeks. Luke and James looking dejected. My thoughts instantly went to Sophie. Where was she? The door flew open and in ran Dr Sven. I relaxed a little remembering Sophie had gone to see him.“He’s awake, good.” Dr Sven said before sitting on the edge of the bed. “Hello Eric. How are you feeling?”I was confused. What did he mean how was I feeling? “I feel a little hot but I’m ok.” Everyone exchanged a look. “What? Why is eve
“What do you mean?” I asked continuing to stand my ground. I would not show him fear.“I didn’t expect you to come to me so willingly.” He looked at me with lust and wanting.“Why did you do this to me? I…I don’t understand what you want.” His hand moved to my arm and he gently stroked up and down. I felt nothing, nothing like before when he touched me in my dream.“Darling, you do understand. We are meant to be together. Eric is using you for his own personal gain. He doesn’t want you as a Luna.” His hand went to my bump and he stroked my belly. I didn’t move. I didn’t want to move. “This pup, I’ll raise as my own. He’s mine just as much as he is yours.”“But he’s Eric’s. Eric won’t stop till he gets his son back.” I was going to play this his way. Just to see how far we’d get. Anger flashed across Blak
(Warning this episode contains 18+ material)Sophie P.O.V The corridor was old and dusty. Candles dripped milky whiteness onto dark pillars of stone. I had been here once before. Wind howled though the dungeon and I shivered. Pain dully thumped inside my heart. I knew what he was doing. I knew who he was with, but I couldn’t stop myself from seeing. I had to confront him this time. I slowly approached a door. I could feel his presence behind it. I could hear their low murmurs. Edging closer I pressed my ear to the door to listen.“Baby, everything will be alright. I’ll get rid of that bitch Sophie and free you from this prison.” I could hear sobbing. “You were right. She tricked me. She used her magic against me, and I almost lost you. Can you forgive me?”“I don’t know Eric. You abandoned me an
Sophie POVStepping outside was the best feeling. I could breathe again. I didn’t look back, I headed straight for the groves. Dove was anxious, I guessed she wasn’t comfortable leaving Eric. I felt drawn to the clearing that was just beyond the line of trees. Dove paced nervously.“I don’t like this, Sophie. It’s not safe without mate.”Don’t be silly Dove. It’s daylight no one will hurt us. I just need to get over there…Dove growled so I pushed her to the back of my mind. What was her problem. I went around the trees feeling the bark. They looked old and weathered and each had its own character. I wanted to feel connected to the earth, so I took off my shoes letting the lush grass spring up between my toes.Out here I had no one angry at me, no one wanting high expectations. It was just me, the sun and the earth. I smiled and let out a sigh. Why couldn’t life be simpl
Sophie P.O.VI swear we have a problem. Eric and I can’t keep our hands off each other. I chuckle to myself as we lie next to each other panting.“Why are you laughing?” Eric asked, a boyish grin spread across his face.“Us. We definitely have a problem.” I say before Eric grabs me around my waist, pulling me closer to him.“What kind of problem?” He nestled his nose into my neck and inhaled deeply taking in my scent.“Sex. We can’t stop having sex.” I giggled as he started nibbling my ear.“Baby, it was the tracksuit pants and loose top that got me all randy for you.” He lightly pecks my lips before looking into my eyes. “Mind you, it wouldn’t matter what you wore. I want to take what’s mine over and over again.” He said laying kisses up and down my neck. I liked the sound of that. I can’t help but bring my lips to his and kiss him with fev
(Warning this chapter contains 18+ content)Eric P.O.V“WAKE UP!” Blaze yelled.I rolled over and moaned. Was it morning already? I hadn’t slept well. Not after last nights events. What should have been a night of celebration ended up being stressful. I know Sophie didn’t handle it well. I woke a few times to find her shivering. I hugged her and held her close to me. I would have thought my body heat and touch would have soothed her, but she didn’t settle. I even tried waking her, but she was in a deep sleep.“Mate is gone!” Blaze yelled.My eyes shot open. Gone? Gone where?“If I knew that I wouldn’t have woken you. Something isn’t right. Dove and Mate are in pain!” Blaze paced in the back of my mind.I leapt out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. There was no sign of her there. I went to the closet and again nothing.&ldquo
Sophie P.O.VI was shocked. I didn’t know what to say or do. I had already resigned myself to letting Mary have space but now Gary was here, all the feelings of hurt and rejection came flooding back. A single tear rolled down my cheek and I closed my eyes. A soft familiar hand touched my cheek, brushing the tear away. It finally occurred to me. If my adoptive parents rejected me and my biological parents were dead, I still had a family. I had Eric and our pup. I opened my eyes and smiled. There he was smiling back at me. I looked back over at the two disgruntled men sitting in front of us. I sighed and shook my head.“What’s going on is, Eric and I are mates, we’ve marked each other and were expecting a pup.” I looked from one angry face to the other.“Your pregnant? What does your mother have to say about this?” Gary’s face was turning red.“She kicked Eric and I out of the house when we told he
The pack had arrived promptly. They hung around in clusters, whispering and pointing. They knew something big was about to happen. I guess they have been waiting five years for a Luna announcement, and, because I rarely did entire pack announcements, they all knew tonight would be big.Sophie clutched and fidgeted with her hands nervously. On our walk here there had been a lot of what ifs. I tried reassuring her that it didn’t matter what other’s thought as long as we had each other. Knowing this had calmed her a bit.Looking at her now, all I wanted to do was hold her. I wanted to kiss away the fears and worry. I wanted to strip her naked and make her body come alive. Blaze purred at the thought of that, and I chuckled to myself. He wanted me to go to her but she and I both knew we couldn’t display affection just yet. Not with the already large crowd gathering in front of us.As the time to talk neared I began to shake a little. It wasn’
