Natalie

The words coming out of my throat hold surprise and a little pain. "You knew him?"

Jaxon's smile is sad, tinged with the same grief I see in my eyes every time I think of my father. "Know him? I went hunting with him. David was a friend of my pack. He was my best friend, baby. Right before he died in a pack war that I…I didn’t anticipate."

The ground feels unsteady beneath my feet, and I can’t tell if it’s me holding Jaxon up or the other way around. "No…no, you must be kidding. They sa

  • A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback   Chapter 132

    AmeliaWe need to protect them, my wolf roars in response as feeling I’ve never felt before takes over. It’s intense, easy to drown in, and the voices in my head are chanting for blood.Kill. Kill. Kill.Sapphira sees it. Fear flashes across her face. She lifts her hand and hurls a wave of power straight at me. Somehow, Conrad finds his strength as he jumps in between.Taking the blast and thudding to the ground. Blood trails down his nose, and his chest heaves as if struggling to breathe.Something inside me shatters completely. I don’t lose control. I let myself go.My wolf surges forward, and then it hits me—deep, electric, alive, and stronger than ever. Power explodes through my veins like lightning, burning and awaking something that’s been asleep for far too long.My hands tremble, energy crackling as I rise to my feet slowly.Sapphira turns toward me, eyes widening. “That’s not possible,” she whispers. “You⁠—”I don’t let her finish. I lift my hand, releasing everything—the pa

    Amelia“Yes, it is. All we need is to make one sacrifice.” Her eyes slide to my daughter. “She shares half Blood Shade blood and half Silver Moon Blood. Her life is a small price we have to pay to bring our entire pack back. Amelia, can’t you see the bigger picture?”“Fuck you and your big picture,” I spit, burning with protective rage. “I won’t let you harm my daughter!”“I’ve watched that little girl grow for three years. Do you think I want to harm her?” She yells, eyes widening, the dark circle around her eyes growing more obvious. “I don’t, but I have no choice. Give me the child.”Her tone is aggressive, and it’s clear now I can’t stall anymore. I have to fight, even if it costs me my life. “Over my dead body!”I hold my daughter tightly, turning to the side so she’s shielded by my body, and my sides press tighter into the cold wall. I don’t care if I die here today.I trust Conrad to look after Sage after I’m gone. But the thought of Sage getting hurt—the thought of losing her

    Amelia“Mommy, wake up!”The sound of Sage’s panicked voice makes me open my eyes. My vision is blurred, but the world around me slowly comes into focus. My ribs and arms hurt, and my head hurts even more as I try to register what just happened.“Mommy, are you okay?”I snap my head to look at my daughter, quickly scanning her for injuries. Thankfully, she’s fine, save for the fear dilating her storm-gray eyes.“Yes, baby. I’m fine,” I say, cupping her head. “Mommy’s fine.”“I don’t want to hurt you, Amelia,” Sapphira says, edging towards us. “Give it up already. You’re not a match for me, and you know it.”I glance at the woman who was supposed to be my best friend. The woman who stayed by my side and lied to me for years. She’d been the enemy all along, and I’d been too blind to see it—too trusting and naïve to question everything she told me.It all makes sense now—her rescuing me outside the fortress and her anger at me for getting back with Conrad. She never cared about me. She

    AmeliaBut I need to be careful not to alert Sapphira. Schooling my expression, I tuck my phone back into my pocket and lower myself to pick my daughter up. “Sage, honey…” I call faster than I mean to. “Do you want to go get ice cream at the park?”Sage smiles widely, her eyes lighting up. “Yes! Strawberry ice cream!”“Let’s go get some, okay?” I say, hoping I appear calm enough not to raise any suspicions from Sapphira.She’s looking at me weirdly, but I keep my eyes on Sage, reluctantly brightening up with a smile. Sage nods cooperatively. “Okay, Mommy,” she says, and I start turning around, ready to flee to safety with my daughter.But we’re barely steps away from the living room, when a hand reaches out and snatches the phone from my pocket.I gasp, swiveling with urgency to retrieve my phone, but I’m too late. Sapphira intently scrolls through the messages on my phone and lets out a tired sigh. In a flash, the sullen expression she had previously falls away like a torn mask. She

    AmeliaI’m pacing Sage’s playroom, watching her while she builds a castle with some blocks, but my insides are churning with anxiety.Conrad has been gone for two hours, and he hasn’t answered my calls or text messages since he left. The news reports an accident at a construction site, which I assume is Zayne, but the details haven’t been disclosed yet, and I can’t help but worry.I hope Conrad is okay. And Zayne, too.But I know the only reason Conrad hasn’t reached out yet is because whatever’s going on has to be serious. I can’t shake off the feeling he’s been hiding something very big from me.My stomach coils, and my chest constricts with unease.There’s too much happening with everyone—Sapphira, Conrad, and Zayne. And I’m stuck in the dark, completely unaware of what’s going on with the people I care about. Both Sage and I flinch when the doorbell rings.My daughter smiles and quickly flies up to her feet.“Daddy’s home!” she yells, her voice laced with so much excitement that

    Jaxon I watch as Natalie wipes the sweat from face and I can't help but picture this scene as mine.Them as mine. Over and over, the image plays in my mind until it feels more real than the gymnasium around us.I haven't noticed anyone else in this room since Harry ran to me and I saw his mother.
