It was morning when Dani woke up in a hospital bed in New York City. She blinked, gazing around at the brightly lit room. In a moment Luca was by her side. "This room is insane." she whispered, her throat feeling scratchy and dry.Somehow Luca had managed to get her a corner room with glass windows that made up a huge portion of the walls with incredible views of the city. Before she'd spoken and woke him up, she realized, he had been sleeping in a comfortable looking recliner. And her bed was much more comfortable than a typical looking hospital bed. The sheets and blankets looked like they should have been in a fancy hotel."The doctor will want to know that you're awake. They wouldn't tell me anything until you woke up. But it looks like your healing is accelerated again for some reason. As soon as they removed the knife I could tell that it wasn't like before. Your wolf started to help with your healing. I should have noticed it earlier in the cuts and bruises from your fight wi
"Do you know that you are approximately eight weeks pregnant?" The doctor's eyes were glued to her face when she asked the question, as Dani sat on the bed frozen, feeling her own eyes grow wide."I- I-" whatever it was she had thought to say was trapped inside her head so she let out the breath she only just realized she'd been holding and tried again. "I guess I had begun to suspect it in the last few days. I'd just started to feel sick. And the healing thing.""The healing thing?""I don't know if you noticed my old injuries? Dani began."Yes. Your wolf actually was able to heal most of your injuries before you got here. There wasn't all that much to do. You didn't even need stitches. It was impressive. But we checked you over carefully for other injuries and we could tell that there were old injuries that hadn't healed the way they should have if you'd had your healing abilities intact, and that those were both bone breaks and the ones that included your old scars.""Just bef
"Where are we?" she asked as he began to lead her, blindfolded, towards the door of their personal jet. It wasn't tropical or humid. In fact, it was rather cold and she hadn't even stepped outside yet.Dani had slept for so long on the plane that she had no idea how long they'd been flying. They could be anywhere at all in the world. And she was impatient to know where Luca had taken them and what exactly his plans were. She had never been good at waiting for surprises."Kitten, you told me that you were going to let me make this a surprise for you. Don't try to peak now." One of his hands was on her side, as he tucked a long puffy jacket over her shoulders."Is this new?" she asked as he helped slide her arms into the sleeves."Here, step. How do these boots feel?" he ignored her question as he helped her into a pair of comfortable new boots that she couldn't see."They feel perfect. How long have you been planning this? And where are we?" Her hands, which were now being warmed
"Now lets see if this fits." He helped her slide the ring onto the fourth finger on her left hand and she finally got a good look at it. The ring was a simple, gorgeous, round cut diamond and it fit perfectly when he slipped it onto her finger."I love it." She said, throwing her arms around his neck and burying her face against his chest. "It's perfect." As she pulled away her eyes drifted back outside to the valley below. "You still haven't told me where we are. Where did you buy a home?""Kittilä." He replied, staring out the window at the beautiful white landscape below.She shook her head. "I have no idea where that is.""Lapland. We're in Finland in the Artic Circle. I promised you Northern Lights. I know it's early in the year still but so help me I'm giving us our best chance at Northern Lights on our week long trip. At least we're pretty far north this time." "We could just wait a bit until it's later in the year.""I don't want my mate to have to wait for anything after
This is the last chapter. Thank you all for supporting me! Wish you all the best in life. Lots of love!"Come on Dani, you can't be late to your own baby shower!" Stella was dragging her down the hall as Dani rolled her eyes. "I can't move that fast anymore Stella. I know that you've never been pregnant yet but ask Emery. It slows you down. Especially twins." "She just can't wait to see her Bestie. Fern. They haven't gotten to see each other in a month since the last council meeting of Alpha's when Kent was officially sworn in. Do you know how moppy my husband has been since he lost his third in command?" She turned her eyes accusingly on Dani who ignored the question, instead turning towards Stella. "I thought I was your Bestie!" She said in a teasing tone. "We're all best friends you guys." Stella linked arms with the other two women as she walked between the two Lunas, slowing her pace. "And when is the next time we're all going to be together?" "Probaby when she pops?" Emery
Dani pushed a strand of dark hair back from her forehead that had come loose from her high ponytail as she leaned forward and wiped down the table. It was almost closing time and the restaurant was empty of customers. In the back the cook was still cleaning up and one bus boy, was scrubbing dishes, but the front half of the restaurant was silent. In ten minutes she could clock out, slip off the unreasonably high black heels that her boss required her to wear during her shift because he liked the way it made her ass look, and go home. She'd make sure that her mom was okay, make her take her meds and eat something, and then she'd finally take a shower and tumble into her own bed. Standing she tugged at the short pink skirt that barely covered the lacy boy shorts that she'd worn that day, knowing that Frank, her boss, was in California for a business conference. The actual uniform for The Dirty Wolf Steakhouse included a thong with a pearl string. Dani rolled her eyes and stopped for
"I've called every single server that works here and they're either letting their calls go to voice mail or they have some excuse for why they can't come back in." Dylan, shook his head as he glanced at her from the stove. He was going to be busy enough in the kitchen, even with Tyler's help. And all three of them knew that the Alpha was going to have extremely high expectations, especially with his guests. Dani heard the door open and sighed, shaking her head in frustration. "I guess we've got to do this. Good luck guys. We're going to need it tonight." Alpha Vos came through the door first, his arm wrapped around his gorgeous Luna, Emery. She was tall and slender, with long golden hair and she was genuinely one of the sweetest people that Dani had ever met. She smiled warmly at Dani as the Alpha helped her slip off her coat. Emery must have been at least five foot ten, but Alpha Vos still towered over her. His broad shoulders were covered in a fitted t-shirt shirt, and he wore
The girl, whose name he didn't yet know, tried to stand back up, but her swollen ankle obviously wasn't fit to walk on and she yelped before collapsing back into the chair, glaring at him as if he was the cause of her injury. "Careful Baby." Alpha Luca West reached for her, trying to support her injured ankle, and hoping he could convince her to hold still so she wouldn't injure herself further. His bright green eyes beamed as he took in the figure of his gorgeous newly discovered mate, even as she moved about, clearly overwhelmed, he thought, by everything that had just happened. Over the previous thirty years of his life he'd imagined what his mate might look like, but she was a hundred times more perfect than anything his mind could conjure. She smelled of lavender and lemon, and he wanted to gather her in his arms and carry her out to the car and drive straight back to his pack line, forgetting any and all of the business that had sent him out into the world at the beginning of
