Mag-log in~Amelia~I changed outfits twice.The first was a flowy top and jeans, which I put on and then immediately took off because the top kept riding up over my bump and the last thing I needed was to walk into a pack meeting looking like I was about to ask someone to touch it. The second was a black wrap dress that was technically flattering but made me feel like I was trying too hard, so I stood in front of the mirror for a full two minutes pulling at the hem before I finally went back to the green dress I'd had hanging on the door the whole time.I turned sideways. My belly was noticeable now, not just to me, not that thing where you're convinced people can see it but you're not sure. It was actually there. Anyone who looked would know.Kaden appeared in the doorway behind me, already dressed, jacket on, looking like he'd spent approximately four minutes getting ready. He looked at me. Then at the pile of rejected clothes on the bed."I don't want everyone staring at my stomach," I answe
~Amelia~Kaden's head turned."I need to talk to you about.." she started."No." I cut her off before she could get another word out. "I don't want to hear it. Whatever you're about to say, I don't want to hear it.""Amelia, please just listen to me.""Are you still with him?" I asked. "Are you still working with Blake? Because that's the only reason I can think of that you'd be calling me right now, at this hour, after everything. You're gathering information. Or he sent you to mess with my head. Or both.""That's not what this.""You have lied to me my entire life, Brittany." I kept my voice controlled. I wasn't yelling. Yelling would have meant she still had the ability to make me feel something heated, and I was past that. This was colder. "My entire life. So you're going to have to do a lot better than a phone call from a blocked number in the middle of the night to convince me this is anything other than another one.""I know." Her voice sounded faint. "I know I don't deserve you
~Amelia~Kaden came back forty minutes later.I knew it was him before the door opened, the way Caleb's posture changed at the window, going from alert to just watchful. I was still on the floor with my back against the wall, knees pulled up, and I didn't move until the broken door scraped open and Kaden stepped through it.He was empty-handed.He'd shifted back already but he looked like something had chewed through him on the way, a cut running across his forearm, dried blood at his temple, a bruise already forming along his jaw. He didn't look at me right away. He looked at the floor, then the fireplace, then he walked past me to the kitchen sink and turned the cold water on.I got up. "You're bleeding.""I'm fine.""Your arm says otherwise."He didn't respond to that. Just stood with his forearm under the water, watching the blood rinse off, jaw tight. Caleb came in behind him and gave me a look over Kaden's shoulder, the kind that said let me get out of your way first. He set his
~Amelia~Two thick fingers pushed inside me and I gasped, my eyes widening with slight tears. He curled them, hitting that spot that made my hips jerk. I rode his hand, water splashing over the rim. His cock was rock-hard against my ass, throbbing."Will you fuck me right now?" I panted. "Or you’re going to punish me by making me wait."“What do you think, baby?”He lifted me, turned me so I faced him, straddled his lap. I lined him up, sank down slow, inch by thick inch until he bottomed out. We both groaned."Fuck," he hissed. "Your tight cunt is going to be the death of me."I started moving, slow rolls of my hips, taking my time. His hands roamed my back, my ass, up to my neck. He kissed me deep, tongue sliding against mine, swallowing every little sound I made.I rode him steady, just deep, rolling thrusts that made my toes curl. He kept one hand on my stomach the whole time. "Shit, baby," he groaned against my mouth. "If you keep going like that, I might burst soon."I moaned in
~Amelia~Kaden woke me up early with coffee and a duffel bag already packed on the bed."We're getting out of here for a day," he said. "Just you and me. Pack a few things if you want, but I've got most of it covered. I need you to actually breathe for once."I sat up, rubbing sleep out of my eyes. "Where are we going?"He gave me that half-smile, the one that meant trouble in the best way. "It's a surprise. You'll see when we get there. Drink. Get dressed. We leave in twenty."Now I was more curious than ever. I threw on a short and his big shirt because I wanted to be comfortable. When I got downstairs his mom was waiting by the front door, arms crossed."Don't stay away too long," she said, looking straight at me. "And don't bewitch my son so he forgets to come back to his own pack."Kaden stopped in the doorway and gave her a hard stare. "Mom. Not today. She needs this. You don't get to make her feel guilty for wanting one day of peace."His mom huffed but didn't push it. She just
~Amelia~I couldn’t sit still after the garden thing with Lucy. Every time I closed my eyes I saw her hand on my stomach, heard her fake-sweet voice calling me puffy and falling apart. Worse, I kept imagining Blake’s face right after, staring at the same spot like the baby was already his world. The fear wasn’t just in my head anymore; it was sitting in my chest like a rock, making it hard to breathe.I needed to do something. Anything. So after lunch, when Kaden was stuck in a meeting with Caleb about the new patrol schedule, I slipped out and walked to Clara’s house. She opened the door before I even knocked. Birds were perched on her porch railing like they’d told her I was coming.“I need to talk about the baby. Like… protection stuff. Not just guards at the door.”Clara closed the door behind me and motioned to the couch. “Sit. Tea first. Then we talk.”I dropped onto the cushions. “I don’t have time for tea. I can’t just sit here and wait for one of my enemies to actually try s
As I followed it I couldn’t help but think about how my life had taken such a drastic turn. A few hours ago, I was getting ready for my birthday and now I am following a bird through the trees. I found myself laughing despite the dire situation because of how pathetic it sounded. All of this is simp
AMELIA’S P.O.VAs I drove, all I could think about or even feel was the pain from the betrayal my family had just dealt to me. I tried to push the thoughts out of my head but it swarmed my every thought and pore. It still felt unbelievable to think that Brittany and Blake could have done that to me.I
KADEN’S P.O.VAfter Caleb left my office, I was thankful for the blissful silence. I ran my hand through my hair in barely contained frustration as I stared at the stack of papers in front of me. The worst part of my job is the paperwork and if I had my way, I would delegate the job to someone else b
KADEN’S P.O.VAfter my mate ran away from me, the first thing I did was go back to my house. For some reason, my wolf was acting like a bitch in heat during puberty and was day dreaming of all the ways we could take our mate.I couldn’t get the image of her soft and luscious curves out of my head and
