I watched as Felicity’s figure disappeared into the Earth. My heart ached the further the plane ascended into the air. We had an amazing night, but this trip will be the longest we’ve spent apart since meeting. Even in the beginning, it was if there was a magnet pulling us together. After we made love last night, I stayed awake watching her sleep. It’s been a while since I’ve struggled to sleep while holding her. I memorized every feature on her face. The light freckles that dotted her cheeks. Her beautiful, long lashes. The slight roundness to the tip of her nose. I listened to the sound of her breathing, watching her chest rise and fall with each breath. The wild curliness of her deep, auburn hair. I gently kissed her belly, letting Helena know that I would be back soon, and to take care of mommy while I was gone. Sometimes I had to remind myself to cherish her. I get so wrapped up in the idea of saving them, that I forget my mate needs me. “She on your mind?” Kai questioned,
I’ve been keeping tabs on both Parker and Felicity for the last six months. She sent me here to reprogram the safe room and watch Felicity as her pregnancy progressed as well as keep a close eye on Parker. He's the one she wants. The moment she found out that he was still alive, it became an obsession to obtain him for the collection. She has a future teller already, so Felicity is just a bonus to her. Parker is the real goal. Healers are the most sought after blessed creature in the world. Their powers go beyond anything known by man. The thought of bringing a person back to life after death is the making of a good zombie horror movie, but not a reality that many know about. Parker's abilities are unrivaled, and Elenore knows what's at stake if she doesn't 'collect' him. I’m shocked at how little foot traffic comes through the woods just outside of Twilight Woods borders. I found a quaint deserted cabin in between two territories and have been staying here while I complete my
This is the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen, and it doesn’t even come close to your beauty. Sleep tight my love. I will be home soon. I felt tears stinging my eyes. Parker was so sweet. I looked at the picture that he sent me and I was in awe at how stunning the lake was. The moon lit up the lake, showing the expansive landscape around it. Even in the night, you could see the beautiful blue hue of the water. Maybe one day, we will be able to see it together. Tonight will be the first night I’ve spent away from Parker in a long time. In the beginning of our relationship, he did a lot of night shifts to earn his place with the warriors. Since I’ve been pregnant though, he’s spent every night with me, refusing to allow me to sleep alone. I stared at the picture that he sent me, imagining how much more beautiful it must look in person. You are the sweetest. Send me a picture in day light. I love you so much. I set my phone on the nightstand and tried to get comfortable. My gro
Felicity’s fear woke me from a deep sleep. I could feel her pain and anguish through our bond. When I called her, she sounded broken, which pulled on my heartstrings. ‘Our mate needs us’ Ash whined in my head. I wished I could be there, holding her right now. I was kicking myself for leaving right now. Was the distance causing her nightmares? If I was home, I'd be able to soothe her with our bond. Instead, I'm stuck thousands of miles away. I pick my phone back up, sending a quick text Why don’t you spend the day with Cami? I will call and arrange a spa day so you two can relax. Love you so much. Try not to stress too much, it was only a nightmare. I set an alarm for nine am to call the spa and arrange for them both to have the total pregnancy package. I know at a certain point in the pregnancy, not all services are safe for the momma and pup. Something I read about in one of the books Cami insisted I read. She'd said I was an ignorant brute after a night out. My phone vibr
“Oh my goddess girl, I needed this. Please thank Parker for setting this up,” Cami moaned as the woman giving her a massage kneaded her lower back. I have to say, I one hundred percent agreed. The woman that has been massaging my shoulders and neck is a miracle worker. Cami was still able to get full body massage where I was far to pregnant. “I am definitely not complaining. This feels amazing.” Cami turned her head towards me, “How are you feeling?” Large, swollen, tired, “Kind of all over the place. Ready to meet our pup. Afraid that I’m not going to be the mom she deserves. The last few days have been a little harder with Parker leaving.” She pouted her bottom lip, giving me a sad look. “Girl, I’m missing Kai so f*cking much. I can’t imagine being nearly five months pregnant and him leaving. I think I’d chain him in the dungeons, though a part of me thinks he might enjoy that,” she winked. That earned a laugh from everyone in the room. “Cami, I swear I hear way more tha
After meeting with Alpha Stephen, I understood Kai’s dislike for the man. He had very little compassion for the situation and didn’t seem to be bothered at all by the fact that six of his own wolves have gone missing. He explained that they didn’t have very many leads, but that out of twelve hundred in his pack, six was a small percent of that. His attitude rubbed me the wrong way. I understood where Vincent got his ‘I’m better than everyone else’ personality. “What do you think of Alpha Stephen?” Kai asked with a scoff. I'm pretty sure he already knew the answer. I gave him the side eye, “Well. He's uhm, interesting. I don’t like his attitude about this whole situation. Something feels off. They way he just shrugged off the missing members just... doesn't feel right. An Alpha is supposed to consider every member of the pack important.” Kai nodded in agreement, “I feel ya on that one. I think there is more to the story. How is Felicity? Cami gushed about the spa day," he held u
How do I respond to her question when I have no idea myself what is happening? Cami leaned her head down and raised her brows, letting me know she was expecting an answer. “I don’t know.” I responded honestly. My mind was still reeling from whatever the heck just happened between Wyatt and I.“What do you mean you don’t know?!” She practically yelled, pinning me with her gaze. “Because I have no freaking idea what that was,” I yelled back, growing frustrated. She ran her hands over her face, “I’m sorry. I’m not trying to yell. I’m trying to process what I just witnessed. Are you and Wyatt having an affair?” I furrowed my brows in shock, “Absolutely not!" I panicked for a moment, "Is that what it looked like?” “I mean, yeah, kind of. Something was going on and Wyatt looked like he had seen a ghost when he hightailed out of here,” Cami rushed out, "You two kept stealing glances at each other. He was asking questions about whether or not you were okay when you ran to the bedroom.
Wyatt picked us up from the house in one of Kai’s cars. As soon as we buckled in, He turned towards us and flashed a solid black card with a devilish grin. Cami snatched it from him quickly. I shook my head, stifling a giggle, “I think Kai might be in trouble today.” “Think? Uhm, he is most definitely going to feel this one. I've seen Cami's shopping sprees,” Wyatt quipped. Cami narrowed her eyes, “We deserve a leisurely day of no-limit shopping. I think as the Luna and Luna’s best friend/official teacher, we deserve it,” she said with her head held high, fluttering her eyelashes. “Official teacher. That's awesome. Congrats. I thought of being a teacher once, but I don't think all the moms could handle this,” Wyatt wagged his brows, glancing at me in the rear-view mirror. Our eyes locked for a moment before he turned his attention back to the road. "You shaping the mind of our youth? Please," Cami retorted with a snort."Hey now," he tapped his finger to his temple, "This bra
