~Harlow’s Point of View~

“Could there possibly be anything more boring,” I whine, propping my elbow on my knee and dropping my chin into my hand. Luke gives me a knowing look, equally as bored. The cheerleaders are half dressed, and I do all I can not to look at them. I notice Luke isn’t the least phased by them and that turns me on to no end. He doesn’t even look twice at any other female out here and he keeps holding my hand which I love a bit too much.

“I might have asked you to go under these benches so I could sneak a kiss but I just watched someone dump a large cup of liquid through the floor. Why on earth would one do that,” he asks, and I let out a sarcastic laugh.

“People are wasteful and stupid,” I answer, and mean it. My fingers twitch at his mention of kissing, and I wonder what he’d do if I just grabbed his face out here and--

“So am I to understand that they all just chase a ball and hit each other over it? But they’re not allowed to actually injure the other? There are

    ~Tate’s Point of View~“This place reeks,” I whisper, irritated. It’s been far too long already that I’ve been stuck with Megan, and I’m eager to cut out her tongue.“Smells like real men,” she taunts, licking her lips. *If real men smell like armpits and cigarettes,* Colt whines, turning up his nose.We had to make camp in the woods and lie low, waiting for a chance to even get into the damn Hair of the Dog. It may be a bar, but that doesn’t mean just anyone is allowed in. Chance had made it seem like we could just walk on by, but that wasn’t at all the case. So we had to get in with someone who could get us invited. But it helped calm my nerves in a way too; I never once saw the male who’d saved Harlow. Maybe he really had left town.But camping in the woods with my ex that still hasn’t gotten it through her thick skull that I hate her is literally the most exhausting thing I’ve ever done. There was a time having her all over me made me feel invincible, made me empowered. Now I wish

    ~Tate’s Point of View~The next morning when we return to the Hair of the Dog, Trek isn’t even there. It’s just the bartender. He gives us another map, and again we go and find the packages like good little minions. By the time we’re making the last pick up, I’m nearly coming out of my skin.*Tate you in range,* I hear, as I jump down from a tree. Megan shifted to go on a quick hunt, but I was trying to hold out for something to eat later.*Yeah Shane go ahead,* I reply, over mind-link.I’m relieved to hear his voice honestly, anyone but Megan. I listen patiently as he relays some updates from the others that are undercover. He mentions there’s still no sign of the bar owner, and they believe there may be some sort of mutiny going on. I tell him things seem relatively normal at the Hair, at least there’s nothing strange on the surface. Just drug dealers, drunks getting into fights and strippers, all which we expected.I find it very hard to believe that Trek could overthrow anyone’s po

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~The heart in my chest thuds loudly all the way to my ears as my brain runs through every emotion. Pity for myself at being so naive, anger at him for leading me on.No, this simply can’t be right! There was something real between us, something intense and passionate. His eyes, the way he looked at me, the way he felt. The way his wolf was with me. It was all a lie?? Months and months of his smiles, his attention. Months of unspoken lust. How many damn nights did I touch myself thinking about Tate? While what??? He was with some other female?!“Son of a bitch,” I whisper, as a lonely tear falls down my cheek. I put my hand over my belly, and silently apologize to Bunny. Tate would have absolutely been an amazing father. I’m literally so mad I can’t move. It’s as if I fall into a weird trance, and everything around me carries on. But I can’t budge. How long I stay like that, I just don’t know. But when I blink again, it’s dark and my bladder gets my attention.

    ~Tyson’s Point of View~“Uhh, something I said,” I ask, turning back to River. He shrugs.“Grab our stuff and head inside, I’ll talk to her. Teenagers huh,” he offers and I nod. My wolf Axel stirs in my head, as he recalls the night we investigated Harlow’s brutal case. I’m hardly offended that she doesn’t remember me, I don’t think she ever looked up from her little cocoon. She was basically catatonic. But maybe she spoke to Tate then? There’s no chance he would have offended her, he’s extremely professional and out of all my children, has by far the best manners.“Kids,” I mutter, then make my way into the house.It’s well over an hour before they come in, and by then I’ve got a tray of meats, cheeses and fruit waiting. They both make a plate and come to sit with me in the living room.My mate will be home late, she’s off helping with one of our grandpups tonight and I simply needed a break from reality. The beach house offers that in spades. Unless you have guests randomly show up

    ~Luke’s Point of View~“You’re certain she’s back,” I ask, practically coming out of my skin as I interrogate Penelope. She makes a face and throws herself on the couch, then puts her feet up.“If by certain you mean that I was literally standing there as she was teleported in and I mind-linked Jasmine about it as I’ve explained twice already? Angel gave us all clear orders where Harlow is concerned and you absolutely cannot let on to her that you’re a Shadow. It’ll blow our cover here…” she whines, then picks up a magazine to read. I push out a hot breath as my fingers twitch, desperate to go to my sunflower. Fuck it, I won’t be able to sleep unless I see her safe for myself. It's been two nights since I’ve seen her, and Dante is positively beside himself as well. Waiting until the morning to see her at school seems like an eternity.“Luke! Leave her be! It doesn’t matter why she went off with that male, she did it voluntarily,” Penelope shouts, as I dash out of the house.Minutes l

    ~Luke’s Point of View~I lazily play with the red strap half falling off her shoulder with one hand, and carefully stroke her loose breast with the other as her hand runs up and down my length. I hiss and move to pull away, but she moves with me.“Believe me when I tell you I’d love nothing more than to make you forget your name. I don’t have one of those rubber things,” I say, and loathe how dumb I sound. The old Luc wouldn’t give a damn about such things because the female he’d bed wouldn’t make it to see another morning.Harlow starts to laugh, and just like that my hard dick goes limp. I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever had a female laugh at me. She flicks her hair back and my eyes stay fixed on her breasts as they move and my dick twitches with life.*She’s allowed to laugh, hell anything, anything she wants,* Dante quickly says, before I can read too much into it.“Well plan better next time you come to my room at night all sneaky,” she teases, turning to prop herself on her elbow.

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~I sigh as I wake up to an empty bed. Well, not totally empty. There’s a drawing of a bouquet of sunflowers, and it makes my belly do weird little flips. It was far too good to fall asleep in Luke’s arms. Feeling treasured and cared for, especially after those damn intense orgasms. If he’s that good with his hands and his mouth, I can’t even imagine how the real thing will finally be. I shower and get dressed, then clean some sand out of my shoes. I steel myself to the idea of blowing off Trek this morning. There’s a bus that comes about ten minutes before he picks me up, and that’s what most of the kids take. It picks up at three different packs. There are also a few adults that are teachers or otherwise employed at the school who use it. I used to walk, but since it's pretty damn cold outside that doesn’t sound appealing.When I get downstairs, the Alpha, Luna and Beta are in the common room and I stop in my tracks. I rarely see the Alpha and he doesn’t loo

    ~Luke’s Point of View~“Soaking wet already hmm,” I taunt, as I lick up Harlow’s inner thigh. She smells like heaven, and she’s the closest I’m certain I’ll ever get to it. I pull her panties down as she lifts her hips to help me, and then toss them on the floor with the pile of clothes we’re already making. “Luke, please! I’ve had enough torture,” she pleads, making me raise my eyebrow in question. I like to at least ATTEMPT to give a female an orgasm during foreplay. But torture you say? The word alone makes the desire and craving my body has for bloodlust tingle.*No, don't go there! Just stop it,* Dante immediately warns. My mind goes hazy with the scent of her in the air and the thought of what her blood would taste like…Ohh my sweet sunflower, torture? You’ve no idea what I can do. But not tonight, and likely never with her. I could never cut her, scratch her until she bleeds… no, they’ll be no hurting her in that way. My mind can’t go there, not even a little bit.She wants q

    ~Night of the School Dance~~Luke’s Point of View~“Thank you for this, I sure as hell wasn’t about to let Sunny dress me and I didn’t dare ask Godfrey for money. He’d want to interrogate every penny and know what it was for. Hell, he’d likely show up and make the night about himself,” I say, pulling on my suit jacket. Of course I could claim going to the school dance is necessary, I mean it is in a way. Part of being a high schooler I imagine. “Pffft. Bro, Sunny has always considered herself a fashionista, but she’s not even close. And yes, they would show up, both of them. You don’t need that. River said they both gave Harlow a scare not too long ago so they definitely don’t need to be around,” Skylar says, holding up a few different tie options. Harlow mentioned her dress was a deep navy and silver so I point to the dark blue. “They did what,” I snap, remembering the triplets saying that Harlow comes to headquarters for her baby appointments. I may need to find out when those ar

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~My eyes wander between Diana and Ben, waiting for them to ask who the father of the baby is, and why he isn’t here. But Diana is busy, fumbling in her bag and finding a book then flipping through it.“Ahh! Hmmhmm,” she says, after a quick read.“Hit the lights and set the mood so Ben can begin his spell,” she says, but doesn’t look up. Skylar does as she asked but thankfully leaves a light in the kitchen for me to have some vision. I draw a deep inhale and catch the various herbs she’s placed around me. And honestly, they are relaxing. I wait patiently while she fastens her hair back and adjusts her dress. “Okay, I’m going to levitate over you, so you can watch my eyes, don’t freak out. I won’t fall on you. Once you’re deep in the trance I’ll go back to my seat. I’m going to work to get you there, but once you are, Ben is going to be able to kind of follow along with you, see what you see. Though it won’t be as vivid, he’ll sort of share in your experience.

    ~Two Nights Later~~Harlow’s Point of View~“I can’t believe I agreed to this,” I whisper, fidgeting with the hem of my shirt. “Well she’s already on her way, and not someone I’d care to piss off so looks like we’re doing it,” Lilly says, putting her hands on her hips and looming over me.All three of her mates are around their house, and three of their children are on patrols outside. It seems with the Blacks, being a Shadow is a family affair. So I’m perfectly safe here, nothing to worry about. It’s totally normal to invite a vampire and a warlock over for a chit chat. A vamp that’s… how old? Two thousand years?? Fuck, what does that even mean? I can’t even begin to wrap my head around it.“She’s very tame about blood due to her age, she’s well adjusted. But she’ll need to taste you. You should be aware that will allow Diana to have a blood bond with you. It’s almost like a signal, she can find you. Just a few drops it wouldn’t be that obvious, but the more frequently she does it,

    ~Anna’s Point of View~What in the stupid human is this little girl doing?I scowl as I watch the little redheaded Harlow from high on a tree branch. She makes pretty dumb decisions, and if not for her looks I’m not entirely sure what Luke sees in her. But I truly don’t take him to be that shallow of a male. There has to be more to this story.I teleport from place to place around the forest as I follow her, trying to keep my distance but also never letting her out of my sight. Babysitting is so not my thing, but Shane insisted Luke was far too close to her and needed to cool off.That won’t last. It’s obvious the male is bat shit crazy for her. A little red riding hood wolf basically. How fucking charming. I could kill the council for pulling me off my overseas mission for this backwoods nonsense. But I’m here, so I’m doing this.My body freezes when Harlow looks around, having heard the wind blowing some leaves and making a rustling sound. It wasn’t me! I’m too good at this.When I r

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~~A Week Later~Sweat prickles my entire body, making me thrash around. I know I’m dreaming, but I just can’t seem to wake up. There’s a fire and all I want to do is get away from the intensity of the heat, but I can’t budge. My mind says it isn’t real, but the urgency my body feels says otherwise. A male figure calls out to me from the shadows, and he’s familiar. I yell for him, and when I feel his hands on me, I search for his face. Suddenly my legs are free, then the air is cleaner. I cough to rid my lungs of the smoke but it burns so bad. “Daddy,” I cry out, as I’m put down on the hard ground. The jolt of it makes me choke, and when I draw a deep inhale, it doesn’t burn because the air out here is clean.My body jerks upright as I continue to try and gasp, and get all the air I can. My eyes dart around my bedroom, in the familiar Dark Thunder packhouse. There’s only a faint light from outside as the sun is still trying to rise. I close my eyes and hold my

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~Suddenly all I can think about is getting to headquarters, getting answers from River or someone. And I have to come clean, I have to--No. No, no. The bar! I need to go by the bar and demand answers. That's my first priority.“And you? You’re Harlow,” the giant mountain of a male shouts, making me jerk upright in full attention. Because well, he sounds like he should have a whistle and be yelling at me to do push ups. The few close by practically part in unison as he stalks toward me. I gulp and push myself off the table and to my feet.“Uhm, yes,” I say, tentatively. “In private, now,” he snaps, making me jump. Out of nowhere, Penelope seems to appear, and I swear she hadn’t been there before.“I’ll go with you. Because… of course you’ll need someone you know with you,” she mumbles, but she brushes past the guy without any fear. I look up to see Beta Ryan only a few steps away, clearly fuming.Penelope leads us to the far side of the packhouse and away from

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~Tears soak the blanket I’m holding over my face as I hear Luke getting dressed. I’m terrible at hiding my emotions, always have been. Crying in front of my bullies is the worst… or so I thought. No, this is gut wrenching.How could I possibly give him up? His heat, his intensity, his touch? He’s done nothing wrong!“Harlow I just…” Luke says, as he shrugs on his coat. I peek just my eyes out of the blanket and while I know this is what has to happen it's impossible.“Go Luke. Please? This was just a mistake okay? I’m a silly girl who just needed to get laid and I have now so I’m good. I come with more baggage and issues than you deserve. It can’t ever be more and we both know it. You were just a cute face and a great cock, that’s all. You won’t be a real boyfriend to me, a father to my baby. So just go,” I say, then pull the blanket back over my head. It's a low blow, especially since he’s hardly had much time to sit with the whole baby thing. Literally no tim

    ~Luke’s Point of View~Harlow says nothing on the ride home from the school, and I don’t know what to make of it. The entire night was a clusterfuck that quite frankly the Beta should be embarrassed by. The fact that I felt the tingle in my mind of other Shadows in the vicinity only leaves me with a hundred questions I can’t get answered right now. Were they watching, if so for what? The entire reason the pack went in was because there was no one in the area. Supposedly.They had to have come in at the last minute. Meaning with the help of a witch or a vampire. Neither of which I smelled. Could have blocked their scents but why would they need to?Godfrey made clear that my mission here was extremely “need to know.” Very few people even know about me outside of those I deal with directly. Fewer know about my “other half,” they just know me as a normal wolf. So if other Shadows that aren’t privy to my mission catch me out and about… I’m not sure what to say. That wasn’t covered at all

    ~Tate’s Point of View~“Shit! Who are those fucking people,” I whisper, as I see a literal troop of at least half a dozen males come running out of the school. They’re moving toward the hut we were just in, and it's obvious they’re looking for something. Something we have.*I don’t like this, they’re not Shadows…but wait do you feel like a weird buzz? Like there’s a mind-link connection not too far off,* Megan says, over mind-link. I do, but it could be someone on the road. There are several nearby. These people though… they’re clearly organized, some even have tactical equipment on.My basic instincts are to shield Megan, get her the hell out of here. She’s a female and therefore needs protection. But I know better, if anyone can handle her own it's Megan. We’ve had real fights several times and while I’ve won, they were all close. When she’s in a real fight for her life, there’s a different kind of fire inside her and that used to turn me on to no end.But even together, we’d be gro
