I'm not crying, you are. That chapter totally hit me in the feels. I would love to hear your thoughts and if you have a gem to spare, I will gladly take that too. Thank you for continuing to read Gals and Pals! -A :) I am going to be solely focused on Alpha Baylor for the next few weeks while working on Gideon and Charity's books in the periphery. I have events in my personal life for the next few weekends so I don't want to try to launch new books that would not have my undived attention aside from this book. There will be 1-2 chapters daily unless I am out of town for the day.
Baylor POV I didn’t date. When I was in the states I didn’t have a girlfriend, I had sex but I didn’t want a relationship. So why couldn’t I get Delania out of my head? Is it because I did everything but have sex with her the other night and what was up with that? Since when do I care about what happens beyond getting laid? Did that upset her? I know I gave her pleasure, you don’t experience two orgasms without pleasure. But then somehow between the second orgasm and doing the deed, I grew a conscience and didn’t have sex with her. I wanted her and I wanted her bad and Shammus did too. So why couldn’t I just seal the deal? It isn’t like I have an intense love affair with my hand, but every time I see her I want her and I end up letting Shammus roll the ‘Delina does Baylor’ porno in my head as I jerk off. Is that why she was short with me in the kitchen, because she wanted me too? Kenneth would tell me to just be patient the full moon is tomorrow night and to just let nature take its
Baylor POV After cleaning up the kitchen because I had sent the help home early, I went for a run by myself. I just needed to think. In the human world where I was raised it was crazy for me to be in love at my age. But I am pretty sure that what I am feeling is just that and I am not human. I am a werewolf and not just any werewolf, I am an Alpha and that means I am a leader. I am doing okay for the most part when it comes to pack issues, I just acted like an irresponsible teenage boy when it came to Delania. I have to act like an Alpha at all times from here on out regardless of what happens tomorrow. Okay maybe not at all times, I don’t know if I could quit clowning around with Mit and Ken that’s just how we have always been. I am exhausted and I want to just go back to the packhouse and crawl into bed, but I should probably check in on Machieste before I do. As I round the perimeter checking in on those on patrol as I go, I make a mental checklist of things that need to be done
Baylor POV I stayed up half of the night talking with Michael, he told me of his mate and daughter that he had lost during the rogue attacks. I asked him how he had managed to stay alive after his mate had passed and he said it hadn’t been easy.That for the first few years he was surprised to wake up everyday. He said that the pain of losing a mate is beyond imaginable and that everyday he believed it would be his last. Then sometime in the middle of the fourth year he had started to feel alive again. That he did more than just go through the motions everyday. He said he had two theories as to why he survived; The first being that Selene had spared him so that we could one day reconnect as a family, as bloodwise we were all each other had. The second which I found most intriguing is that his mate was not his fated mate, but a chosen one. I asked him to explain how a chosen mate worked in place of a fated mate. He said that it usually occurred when both had not found their fated mate
Delania POV I am still in disbelief over what Baylor did this morning before breakfast. First because he did it in front of everyone in the room. Second it was hot as hell, he could have stripped and fucked me on the counter right then and there. And there is no way that anyone in the room missed the smell of my arousal. The hours since have dragged on and I may spontaneously combust before the pack run. At lunch instead of sending one of the other girls out to the building site to deliver lunch, I went. Seeing the sweat glisten on Baylor’s body in the sunlight made my mouth go dry. This is crazy, there shouldn’t be this much sexual tension between two people. When he walked over to the cart to get a sandwich and a bottle of water, I tried to act casual. Tried and failed as my eyes took in the view. “My eyes are up here Delania,” he said with a cocky grin. Guilty as charged but can you blame a girl for wanting a bite of eye candy. As he walked away the rearview was as sexy as the fr
Delania POV I don’t think I have ever seen Baylor this level of angry and to be honest, I don’t know who he is angry at. That could be one of us or all of us. I sincerely don’t understand what my mother has against me, what makes her think Brielle is better or more deserving of being at Baylor’s side. “I’m sorry I hit your mother Delania. She shouldn’t have slapped you though,” Siobhan said as she focused on feeding Marlon while I rocked Connie. “You’re my hero little mama. You did what I have always been too afraid to do, stand up for me,” I replied. “Do you think I am gonna be in trouble with Alpha for what I did?” she asked. It amazed me that she totally lost her shit on my mother to defend me, but was now concerned about Baylor. “Siobhan, I won’t let you be in trouble. I will make sure that Alpha knows that you were just defending me,” I told her. “Besides, I think you could take him,” I teased. “Oh I would never do that,” she said with her eyes going wide like saucers. I couldn
Machieste POVI remain trapped as a prisoner of my own mind, the day of my greatest failure continuing to haunt me day and night. There is now a voice that is mixed in with that nightmare and it seems out of place. I don’t know if it is the voice of the Moon Goddess because I can’t seem to separate it from the nightmare. Maybe it is part of this key that Dagger has said I need to wake up. Maybe if I focus on the voice I can gain some clarity. ‘Dagger, is there any way that you can help me hear the voice that is in the background of my nightmare?’ I ask my wolf. ‘I think if we work on focusing on the voice together that perhaps I may be able to block the nightmare enough that you may hear what it has to say,’ Dagger replied. ‘How do I do that though, the nightmare is so vivid that it is as if I can see, touch, and taste it?’ I asked my wolf. ‘The voice is soft and calm, focus on the soothing cadence. Let it wash over you while I hold the nightmare at bay, it may hold the answers we n
Baylor POVAs soon as we arrived back at the packhouse grounds, I shifted and pulled on my shorts. Shammus and I are both eager to find the source of that scent. I can’t focus on anything but finding her and making her mine. I am trying hard not to act like some sort of deranged perv as I sniff the air searching the crowd. I have to find her.“Wait! Alpha help! The guard is awake!” I heard and I spun around to see a man I recognized as Machieste leaping off of the porch as a growl rips through his chest and he utters one word, “Mate!” I watched in what seemed like slow motion as he tears through the crowd sniffing and once I see where he is heading, I take off running. ‘Dane, Rosemarie, with me now!’ I mind-link. ‘At your back Alpha’ they reply in unison. ‘Be ready to take him down, I won’t let her be hurt!’ I shout through the link.It feels like it takes forever to get through the crowd as I make my way to intercept Machieste. Just as I am ready to tackle him, he skids to a halt an
Baylor POV “Baylor, if I might have a word with you, before you rejoin the festivities,” Alpha Colin said. I looked at Delania and an understanding passed between us as she nodded her head and went to go outside with the rest. “Actually your mate or should I say your Luna should stay too since it involves the two of you,” Alpha Colin amended. I was a little surprised and wary of what that could mean. “Have the two of you accepted the bond yet?” Alpha Colin asked. “Yes,” I said enthusiastically. “Um, actually no we haven’t,” Delania said and I looked at her in confusion. “I don’t understand. I accepted you the moment I knew it was you,” I replied. “Baylor, there is a formal acceptance of the bond and though you accept Delania with all your heart, you still need to do the formal acceptance and I was thinking that it would be a great thing to share with your pack,” Alpha Colin informed. “Oh, I guess that is just another thing I didn’t know. I’m sorry,” I replied. Delania placed a soft
