All Chapters of Marriage First, Mate Second: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Chapter 81: Benefit of the doubt **Levi’s POV “I can’t trust August right now,” I tell Andrew, “I want to. I don’t want to believe that he’s capable of this, but I’m just not sure. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help in moving back to our own house.” We are moving the last of the boxes back to our home. I just couldn’t stomach the idea of living in that place when I no longer trust the person who owns it. I’m grateful that Amber went along with this whole thing. I’m pretty sure that she thinks I’m overreacting, and I may be. But better safe than sorry. “Where do you want the dishes, boss,” Andrew asks me, tiredly, “This is the last of it.” “Thank you, just put them down here,” I tell him, “I’ll put them in the kitchen later. Go get some rest. You’ve worked hard today, and I greatly appreciate your help.” “No problem,” Andrew responds, with obvious relief. “Hey, do you know who’s on guard duty tonight?” “Yes, it’s Stevenson and Pau

Chapter 83: Razor sharp wit ** Amber’s POV “Good morning August, how are you feeling?” I ask him, examining his black eye with concern, “You look as if you slept well.” We are gathered around the breakfast table, and it is wonderful to have August with us again. August has agreed to stay with us until his house’s security can be updated, which I am very relieved to hear. Levi and his grandfather could use the time to talk, and neither of us want anything to happen to him. The poor man has been through enough already. Between being accused of participating in my attempted abduction and then being taken himself, I’m actually impressed at how well he’s doing, all things considered. “I did, thank you Amber,” he tells me with a gentle smile, “I’m just so glad that Levi and I have finally cleared the air, that I was able to relax for the first time in days. It was wonderful.” “Well, that, and the fact that you were attacked by a lunatic probably had something to

Chapter 85: Total stranger **Amber’s POV ‘I really hope Levi approves my day off request tomorrow,’ I hear a male voice say, ‘He knows I wouldn’t ask without a good reason. And this is a good reason.’ I can’t figure out how I’m hearing him, as I’m in my living room, alone. I look out the window, and there’s only one person outside, and he’s stationed at the gate, too far away for me to actually hear. ‘I need to get this taken care of before I can marry Megan,” he continues, and I can sense his fear, ‘I don’t know what I will do if this interferes with the wedding. I can’t let that happen.’ As I try to figure out what’s going on, my mate comes down the stairs, looking as handsome as ever. I kiss him and inhale his wonderful scent. His hair is still wet from the shower and he is absolutely perfect. “I heard from Hope just now,” my husband says, kissing me back, “She said that she thinks the curse is completely gone! She’s going to bring some of her fam

Chapter 87: Classic Force ** Levi’s POV “My love, you know that there is nothing that you could tell me that would change the way I feel about you, don’t you,” my wife says to me, “You are the love of my life.” I do know that, but I have been afraid to tell my Luna the truth about certain aspects of my past for some time. I fear what she will think of me. That her perception will change. But I think it is time. My Luna told me of her visit from the Moon Goddess, and I think it is time that I finally tell her about mine. ““I know that you truly believe that,” I tell her, “But you haven’t yet heard this. These things that I am not proud of. And I don’t want you to think ill of me.I don’t think I can bear it.” My wife puts her arms around me, and I can feel her love and acceptance. Perhaps I can finally unburden myself of that which I have been carrying for so very long. “You know that I had my own vision from the Moon Goddess,” I tell her hesitantl

Chapter 89: Taking after their mother ** Amber’s POV “My love, you are already the best husband and father ever,” I tell my husband, “You don’t need to buy out the entire toy store to prove it!”We both regard the pile of toys my mate has brought home today. Stuffed wolves of every size and color, some of them far too big for our newborns. Which my husband knows. Mobiles, teddy bears, so many other puffy creatures that I can’t even readily identify. I think some are from television shows, but I’m really not sure. There’s just so many of them. “I couldn’t help it,” he tells me sheepishly, “They are just so cute. And I couldn’t decide what to get so I just got it all. “It’s sweet,” I tell him, kissing his cheek, “And I really do like that huge wolf with the happy smile. He just looks so friendly!” “I know, right? He’s great,” my husband says with a grin, “And you haven’t even seen the clothes yet!” My husband usually doesn’t even enjoy shoppin
