Hello reader!

Thank you for clicking on this book. Going in, it's important that you know that Whole Again is a novella spin-off in the Queen Among series. A lot of the characters and storyline was setup in book 1 A Queen Among Alphas, with moments in this book tying into other books in the series. If you find you're missing context or things don't make sense, this is why. So, i encourage you to read the main series first.

But if you choose not to, that is fine. I simply wish for all my readers to have the best reading experience possible, but if you're comfortable to read this as a standalone, then on with the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~

It happened again.

I struggle to catch my breath, my heart pounding against my ribcage and thundering in my ears like the sound of a war drum as I try to shake off yet another nightmare, but my hands continue to tremble and my stomach churns as if to mock me.

The morning sun streams in through the cottage window as I throw the sheets back and swing my legs over the side of the bed. I rest my head in my hands as I continue to try to calm myself down, but I canā€™t. All I can hear are the sounds of Jenniferā€™s agonised screams from the night I made the biggest mistake of my life. Itā€™s been four months since that night, and even though so much is better in my life, Iā€™m still plagued with guilt for being the worldā€™s biggest, cruellest moron.

'Just keep taking slow breaths. Itā€™ll wear off soon,' says my wolf spirit Matthan as he nuzzles me through our bond. I let his comfort soothe me even though I donā€™t deserve it. Heā€™s been far kinder to me than I deserve after what I did to him. Not just him. My stupid actions hurt four people in a single blow.

'Thank you,' I say appreciatively.

'Landry, you canā€™t keep going on like this. How long do you plan to torture yourself?' He sighs.

'I donā€™t do this on purpose,' I say glumly. If I could stop the nightmares, I would. I hate what they do to me.

'I know, but youā€™re the only one still mad at you. Yes, you made a horrible mistake and rejected our beautiful soulmate,' he says casually, making my stomach churn violently. 'But you realised you made a rash judgement call and worked hard to make it right and look at where we are now. Marked and mated with our animai and living in a cosy home together. It all worked out in the end,' he reminds me.

'Then why do I still feel so horrible?' I ask defeatedly.

'Because you care. You love her and care about her. It wouldnā€™t hurt this much if you didnā€™t,' he says softly, his big chocolate brown fur, and sandy blonde coloured paws ā€“ or socks as I like to call them ā€“ fanning out as he lays down in my mind while he continues to offer me comfort.

How a dumbass like me ever wound up with such a compassionate and supportive wolf, Iā€™ll never know. He has infinite patience to handle me, and I really donā€™t know what Iā€™d do without him. Matthan has been my best friend my whole life. His was the first voice I ever heard, and he has been with me through thick and thin. I thank Morrtemis every day that she blessed me with him.

'There you go trying to make this wolf cry,' he says bashfully making me chuckle.

'Thanks for always being here, Matthan,' I say warmly.

'To be fair, I literally canā€™t go anywhere else,' he says matter-of-factly, making me snort.

'Lan?' Suddenly comes the gentle voice of the sweetest love a guy could ever hope forā€”my beautiful and wonderful Jennifer.

'Yeah, Pixie?'

'Are you okay? I know you were having another nightmare,' she says gently. Only now with the adrenaline easing off do I start to notice her deep worry coming through our bond. Not just hers, but her wolf Beatrixā€™s as well.

'Iā€™m okay, I promise,' I say reassuringly.

'Youā€™re not okay, and itā€™s silly to even bother lying,' remarks Beatrix with disapproval.

Jennifer and Beatrix are like summer and winter. Jennifer is sweet, gentle, and timid, whereas Beatrix is blunt, stern, and confident. They balance each other out and I think Beatrixā€™s personality is what gives Jennifer the resilience she has.

'Bee, go easy on him,' says Matthan cautiously.

'Iā€™m not criticising him. Weā€™re bonded. We can feel that heā€™s not okay, and if thereā€™s anyone he should feel safe not being okay with, itā€™s us,' Beatrix reminds us. I can feel and hear the care in her words. Sheā€™s straightforward but never cruel. I appreciate her transparency.

'Youā€™re right, Bee. I apologise to you both, I justā€¦ I donā€™t feel I have a right to complain to either of you. After what I did, I deserve this, so what right do I have to vent or complain to the people whom I hurt so horribly?' I say, unable to hold back the shame and sorrow I feel when I think of Jennifer screaming in pain, collapsing on the ground as her heart began to give out.

I almost killed my soulmate out of ignorance and stupidity. If it werenā€™t for Alpha Amelia I wouldnā€™t be where I am now. Iā€™d be a broken shell of a man mourning the death of the woman I was destined to love, knowing I was the one who killed her, and for what? All because she canā€™t shift. How could I have ever thought that was a reason to reject someone?

'Please donā€™t do this to yourself,' Jennifer whimpers.

I groan, fisting my hair. I just said I didnā€™t want them to have to hear me venting, and here I am, wallowing in guilt for them to hear and feel. Way to go, Landry, way to show youā€™re still a moron.

'Iā€™m sorry, Pixie. The nightmare rattled me, and I guess Iā€™m still spiralling a little bit, but I promise itā€™ll pass,' I assure her.

'I donā€™t want you hating yourself forever. I donā€™t hate you,' her sweet voice says, filled with love. I feel her pushing as much of that love through our bond as she can, wrapping around my heart like protective armour. How could I have ended up with someone so wonderful?

'I love you, Jennifer. I hope you know that.'

I can hear the smile in her voice, 'I love you too. You promised me that day you would do everything you could to make it up to me, and you havenā€™t broken your promise. I trusted you and you prove every day that trust was well placed. I donā€™t like to think about that night; it makes me sad, but I donā€™t blame you for it either. I know it wasnā€™t really your fault,' she says compassionately.

'Iā€™m the only one whose fault it was, Jen,' I sigh.

'Okay, Iā€™m putting an end to this. Jennifer has pups to wrangle. Landry, youā€™re going to get up and have a shower and wash off the nightmare and then go have breakfast and go to work. No more depressing topics in the morning. Matthan, youā€™re going to take good care of him, and Iā€™ll know if you havenā€™t,' says Beatrix sternly making me smile affectionately.

'Whatever you say my Golden Goddess,' Matthan coos like the lovesick pup he is.

Being bonded to Jennifer means I can see Beatrix through her eyes, and itā€™s a shame they canā€™t shift because sheā€™s stunning. The most beautiful fluffy golden blonde coat, that I can just imagine would be so gorgeous to touch. I canā€™t imagine being unable to shift, but they seem very content with how they are. I just wish I could hold Beatrix the way Jennifer can hold Matthan, which I know he loves. Who wouldnā€™t? Sometimes we take her for runs on our back, and just feeling her fingers in his fur is one of the most incredible sensations in the world. Definitely in the top five.

    Following Beatrixā€™s instructions, I get up and shower off the stress and bad memories, then get myself dressed for the day. When Iā€™m finally decent, I go to the kitchen and freeze in the doorway as I register the scent of fresh orange juice andā€¦ no way! Iā€™m over to the oven in a flash, my mouth salivating as I open the warmer and take in the four delicious-looking breakfast tacos in their own little holders. Thereā€™s a glass of freshly squeezed OJ on the counter next to the oven with a handwritten note placed against the glass, so, I pick it up and read it. Good morning Snuggle-Wolf! I didnā€™t want to wake you and thought you might be hungry, so I made your favourite breakfast tacos and some juice. Thereā€™s more juice in the fridge. Hope you have a great day; Iā€™ll see you after work! All my love Pixie x I smile from ear to ear as I read the note over and over, my heart swelling with happiness at this amazing and thoughtful gesture. I carefully place the note down, grab a pair of oven

    Things remain a little tense with Michael, but thankfully itā€™s time for me to go and check in with Maggie and see what my duties are today, so, I politely excuse myself and race off to the kitchen where Maggie is commanding her army. Maggie is 5ā€™8ā€ with military posture, shoulder-length dark brown layered hair, a stern face with kind cocoa eyes and dark caramel skin. She always dresses in a professional manner, so sheā€™s wearing a long-sleeved nude-pink satin blouse tucked into high-waisted dark brown slacks with shoes with the tiniest heels Iā€™ve ever seen. I donā€™t know how to describe them, Iā€™m not a fashion expert, but I can at least tell they match her blouse. 'Someone wonā€™t be getting a job on the red carpet,' Matthan sniggers. I ignore him. ā€œRight on time again. Iā€™m Impressed,ā€ Maggie compliments, not even turning her head to look at me, but no doubt she either scented or heard me coming. Maggie is fifty-six but looks late 30s if you ask me, and sheā€™s incredibly slim, bordering

    My stomach twists into a knot when I hear Landry say those words. Iā€™ve never met Landryā€™s father, but from the stories heā€™s told me, Iā€™d hoped to avoid meeting him. Especially since I know how he feels about Omegas. I canā€™t help what I am, it makes no sense for him to hate me or anyone else like me for being born a certain way that we canā€™t control.'Some people will find any reason to hate others, Jen. Their hearts are so bitter and twisted they canā€™t even summon a kind word or thought. Itā€™s not your fault and you donā€™t deserve it. I just hate that I canā€™t come out to give him a piece of my mind,' Beatrix snarls as she crouches down as if ready to pounce.'You can always speak through me,' I gently remind her.Beatrix sits back on her hind legs with a caring look in her eyes, 'We both know you donā€™t want me to do that. When speaking with Landry or Matthan, sure, but not for something like this, and I respect that. But you realise, one of these days someone is going to go too far in h

  • Whole AgainĀ Ā Ā Chapter Five: Second Thoughts - Jennifer

    The rest of the evening continues to be tense. Iā€™ve been sitting in the living room while Landry busies himself with dinner, but the whole time I go over and over in my head what his dad said. Why does he think Iā€™d ruin Landryā€™s life? Is it because Iā€™m weaker? I know Iā€™m much weaker than other Omegas because of the complications during my premature birth, but no one - okay, most people in the pack - ever made me feel different or less than. They even love to call me the packā€™s miracle pup, which I think is silly. My mum agrees with the pack though, but thatā€™s only natural. Ever since Landry and I rebuilt our bond, Iā€™ve never regretted it, and I still donā€™t, but I canā€™t help but wonder if completing our bond is now going to cause problems with his dad. Maybe marking each other wasnā€™t the right thing to do. 'How can you even think that?' Beatrix whimpers. 'I donā€™t want to be the reason Landry loses his dad. Heā€™s already lost his mum, and I canā€™t imagine my life without mum and dad. I

    I cover my mouth as I mask yet another yawn. It's safe to say I didnā€™t sleep well last night. Between the previous night's nightmare, my dadā€™s unexpected and unwelcome appearance and the thoughts and feelings it brought out in Jennifer, I couldnā€™t get a wink of sleep.Maybe Iā€™m callous for saying this, but I donā€™t miss my dad. I love him because heā€™s my dad and heā€™s all I have left, but I donā€™t like him. After my mum passed away he wasnā€™t the same dad anymore. He tried to raise a warrior, but thatā€™s not the life I wanted. Nothing I did was ever good enough, and while my dad never laid a hand on me, he belittled me every single day. On top of that, he always went on and on about how Omegas are the worst thing to ever happen to the mutolupus species, that they are weak and useless and only good for destroying whoever is unlucky enough to be fated to them. I could never understand why he hated them so much. I still donā€™t.Jennifer may be an Omega, but sheā€™s the best and kindest person Iā€™

  • Whole AgainĀ Ā Ā Chapter Seven: The Innocence of Children - Jennifer

    What a morning! Youā€™d think someone spiked the water or the juice because the little ones have been bouncing off the walls. I must admit, itā€™s been a nice distraction though. I donā€™t want to think about what happened yesterday, and itā€™s eating at me to feel how horrible Landry feels about it. Landry tends to carry everyoneā€™s guilt and his own. Goddess Morrtemis herself could show up and grant him eternal forgiveness and he still probably wouldnā€™t forgive himself and it saddens me greatly. 'We could try recommending he visit Beta Eric again. Iā€™m no clinical expert, but even I can tell our Lan is dealing with some trauma thanks to his jerk of a fatherā€™s emotional abuse and neglect,' Beatrix says heartbrokenly. Bee is a tough cookie, far tougher than I, but even she has her sweet side. I know she loves and cares for Landry as much as I do. Sheā€™s always the one giving him a firm push, which I donā€™t always agree with. I donā€™t like being forceful with him or anyone ā€“ probably why I prefer

    The rest of the day went by very smoothly. I spent most of it focusing on Bai while the other carers tended to the other kids. It was the most Bai had interacted with anyone, so they didnā€™t pull me away. He really seemed to relax and open up while we played chess, and Iā€™m hoping in time I can maybe get him to play with one of the other children, maybe one even willing to let him teach them to play chess. Heā€™s such a sweet boy, Iā€™d love to see him making friends. Iā€™m just in the kitchen doing the dishes after lunch when I hear footsteps approaching carrying the scent of rose and chamomile. A smile breaks across my face, and I spin around and leap at the tall figure entering the kitchen. They catch me effortlessly as I breathe in their floral scent. ā€œPappa!ā€ I cheer as I feel my dadā€™s arms wrap around me and swing me around with ease. ā€œHow are you, Cupcake?ā€ He asks joyfully while kissing my cheeks and setting me on my feet. ā€œIā€™m wonderful,ā€ I smile up at him, ā€œWhat brings you by?

    As I start to sit back in my seat, sharp pain strikes my side knocking the wind out of me. I cling to the table, trying to process the pain that makes it hard to breathe as Beatrix's howls echo around my mind. ā€œJennifer!ā€ My mum cries, leaping from her chair to come to my side, ā€œJennifer whatā€™s wrong?ā€ ā€œI donā€™tā€¦ know,ā€ I pant. Beatrix begins to whimper, 'Landryā€™s hurt.' 'What?! Whatā€™s happening?!' I shout at her but quickly focus more on my bond with Landry and Matthan, 'Lan? Matthan? Whatā€™s happening?' I ask in a panic. 'Everything is fine, I promise,' says Matthan, but I donā€™t believe that. How can anything be fine when my ribs feel like I got hit by a tank? Is it his dad? Did Landryā€™s dad come back and is now hurting him? Fear and panic rush through me and without a second thought, Iā€™m up on my feet and sprinting across the street while I faintly hear my parents calling my name behind me. I donā€™t have time to think, I just keep running. I know Iā€™m not that fast, but Iā€™m still

    ā€œOkay, I canā€™t hold it in any longer. Iā€™m dying to know what name you picked for him. Please donā€™t make me wait for your parents to get here,ā€ I say impatiently, plopping myself down in the chair beside Jenniferā€™s hospital bed. I was alright not knowing while she was pregnant, but now that our son is here, I am dying to hear his name! I canā€™t keep calling him ā€˜sonā€™ or ā€˜babyā€™. 'Why not? Itā€™s not like either of those statements is incorrect,' Matthan points out. 'How about I just call you ā€˜wolfā€™ then?' I retort. He gasps, 'You wouldnā€™t be so disrespectful.' 'Thatā€™s his point,' Beatrix tiredly chuckles. Poor thing is giving her everything to help Jennifer heal faster, and I canā€™t thank her enough. ā€œOkay, okay,ā€ Jennifer chuckles, cradling our son in her arms, ā€œI can finally tell you.ā€ As I sit on the edge of my seat, excited to finally hear the name she kept hidden for weeks, thereā€™s a gentle knock on the door. ā€œOh, come on!ā€ I exclaim, whipping my head around in frustration only t

    Iā€™ve experienced all types of fear in my life, but none of them will ever compare to the fear I am feeling right now. Not just my own, but the fear coming from the woman who has brought me nothing but love. The level of helplessness I feel seeing Jennifer laid out on a surgical table as Doctor Johnson cuts into her belly is unbearable, but itā€™s nothing compared to what Jennifer is going through. I do my best to block out the sounds of the machines and the back and forth of the doctors and nurses and just focus on Jennifer and try to get her to focus on me. I squeeze her hand and kiss her forehead and feel extra gratitude that there is a screen up to stop us from seeing what they are doing to her body. I donā€™t want to see them cut into her, and she shouldnā€™t have to see it either. I know all she can feel is some pressure, but itā€™s not painful, so thatā€™s good. ā€œYouā€™re doing so good,ā€ I say reassuringly, keeping my arm around her head so she can focus on my scent and not the other smel

    ā€œOkay, enough of the kissing, time to open presents!ā€ Declares Nare, coming over, taking Jennifer by the hand, and dragging her away to a nearby sofa so she can begin opening presents. I stand by and smile, experiencing every moment of joy emanating from my soulmate as she opens gift after gift. Some gifts confuse her, and me, because just looking at them I wasnā€™t even sure what some of them were, and then thereā€™s the breast pump which surely was originally designed as a torture device. That canā€™t actually be comfortable, can it? As Jennifer continues to open presents with glee, her mother walks over and hands me a glass of non-alcoholic punch. ā€œThank you,ā€ I say, taking the glass from her. ā€œThis was a beautiful thing you did for her. I can already see how much this has lifted her mood,ā€ she says gratefully. ā€œEverything Jennifer ever said about you is true, and I know you will love her and this baby as much as Craig loves me and Jennifer,ā€ she says placing a hand on my shoulder, ā€œI

    ā€œJennifer is going to love this!ā€ Cheers Beatrix excitedly from the passenger seat. I glance over, my mind once again trying to reconcile that while I am looking at the body of Jennifer, itā€™s not Jennifer in control. The main thing driving that fact home is the glowing aquamarine eyes looking out the windshield. The other is the mannerisms. Beatrix is exuberant and uses a lot of big gestures, whereas Jennifer is more delicate and demure, except for when sheā€™s excited. ā€œIs she still sleeping?ā€ I ask as I drive towards the packhouse. ā€œLike a baby,ā€ she giggles, rubbing her belly affectionately, ā€œIā€™ll start to wake her up once we get there. I donā€™t want to risk spoiling the surprise.ā€ ā€œI really appreciate you helping me surprise her like this, and I think sheā€™ll love how youā€™ve dressed her today,ā€ I say graciously. ā€œWell, I have known her since conception. I know what she likes,ā€ she says proudly. Beatrix, Matthan, and I have been planning today very carefully without letting Jennif

    ā€œIs it normal for the baby to have hiccups?ā€ Jennifer asks nervously. I give her hand a tight squeeze projecting all the calm I can through our bond. Joanna gives her a warm, reassuring smile like always. ā€œHiccups are absolutely normal.ā€ Jennifer smiles up at me and instantly relaxes again. 'These mood swings are rough,' Matthan whines. Being bonded mind, body and soul to a pregnant woman sure as hell gives you perspective on how easy we guys have it. Jennifer tries to block me out to spare me most of it, but I have politely told her off about that. Do I enjoy waking up several times a night because I feel Jennifer waking up with an overwhelming need to pee? No, not particularly. But sheā€™s an eighteen-year-old going through one of the hardest changes of her life. Sheā€™s creating life inside her, and my only job at this time is to make her comfortable. Iā€™ve found her a few times crying and naturally, my first instinct is to worry, but when I focus on her emotions itā€™s so confusing.

    Landry immediately gets started on dinner, pulling out cheese, cream, and pasta as I pull up a stool at the small kitchen island. I think heā€™s going to make carbonara! 'The papers, go and get the papers,' Beatrix reminds me. 'Oh! Right, thank you for reminding me,' I say as I get back up and go and grab the papers from my bag. 'Itā€™s what Iā€™m here for,' she says casually. I walk over to Landry, smiling up at him while I hold the papers firmly in my hand. ā€œWhatcha got there?ā€ He asks, glancing over at me as he puts of pot of water on to boil. ā€œWell, I guess we were both thinking of each other today because I did something for you too,ā€ I say with nervous excitement. ā€œWhat did you do?ā€ Landry asks eagerly, so, instead of building the moment I hand him the papers. Landry takes them and slowly begins reading, his eyes growing wider and wider as a million emotions swirl inside him. ā€œThisā€¦ this is an application to pastry schoolā€¦ā€ ā€œI know!ā€ I say proudly, ā€œI did some research, and wit

    What a day! Okay, I probably say that a lot, but today was different. Today when I arrived at the daycare everyone was waiting to surprise me with balloons, handmade cards, and posters congratulating me on my little nugget. I admit I got pretty emotional and Iā€™m unsure if that was the hormones or just me. Even though itā€™s my job to shower the pups with love, today I felt I was showered in love. Nothing can warm your heart more than the love and affection of an innocent child, and getting to receive all that love from them just made me all the more excited to meet my baby. Iā€™ve already picked out a name! I donā€™t know if itā€™s a boy or a girl, and I still donā€™t want to know, so I have variations for both, and I just know Landry will love them, but for now, Iā€™m keeping them a surprise. If he asks, Iā€™ll mention them, but for now, itā€™s a secret between me and Beatrix. 'Youā€™re right though, Landry is going to love them,' she says happily.

    Jennifer lets out a loud gasp beside me as I stumble back, shaking my head in confusion. My mum was an Omega? How could I have not known that? 'Matthan, did you know my mother was an Omega?' He shakes his head, 'It was so long ago, and we were both so young. I could speak with her wolf, but it never even occurred to me that she couldnā€™t shift, especially since she passed before we could.' I lean against the wall of the cottage, trying to process this information. My mum was an Omega, and my dad thinks that her Omega status is what killed her. That doesnā€™t even make any sense. I can feel the soothing touch of Jennifer stroking my hair comfortingly, but I canā€™t find the words to speak. ā€œMr Green, you have my deepest condolences for the loss of your animai, I canā€™t even begin to comprehend that level of pain, and the fact youā€™re still alive is rare, but as the father of an Omega, I have to ask, why do you believe your animai being an Omega led to her death?ā€ Jenniferā€™s dad asks calml

    I wait patiently on the front porch of our cottage trying to mentally prepare myself for what Iā€™m about to say to my dad. 'He does anything to Jennifer or the pup and Iā€™m ripping his throat out,' snarls Matthan. 'I may not be much of a fighter, but do you really think Iā€™d stand by and let him hurt my animai and baby? Do you think Iā€™m that incapable of protecting my family?' I ask sadly. Matthan sighs and sits back on his hind legs, 'Of course not, I didnā€™t mean it to come off like that. I have every faith in you, and I mean that. Iā€™m just a little overprotective these days,' he says sheepishly. I smile and give him the mental equivalent of a hug, 'I guess it comes with being expected dads.' Our moment is interrupted as I hear the sound of a car approaching in the distance and itā€™s not long before I see my dadā€™s navy blue Mercury Marauder pull up the gravel path behind the Ryderā€™s aqua-blue Toyota Prius. My dad has had that car longer than Iā€™ve been alive. He never felt a need to
