What a morning and all before breakfast! Baylor and Shammus... I just can't with those two. Every time I go to write them they get all snarky and act like two alphas fighting over the same territory. Ugh! Hope you're enjoying! Have a great day and happy reading Gals and Pals! -A :)
Baylor POV The rest of the day went really well, once we got past the shit show of the morning. Agatha came and gave Machieste another dose of healing magic. And After listening to our plan, placed the suppression spell on Alpha Marlon’s aura. I hope that was the right decision, but it feels right and Alpha Colin agreed it was a sound idea. Just before lunch we introduced the Cashel ‘twins’ as the pack’s first of the next generation. After talking with Dane and Alpha Colin, it was decided that we are going to have to really step up pack security and training. However we decided that training would be canceled, just for the next two days so we could focus on getting the housing in place. We have been extremely fortunate that there hasn’t been any bad weather with many of the pack members sleeping in tents waiting for housing. One good rain could make a terrible mess of an already stressed situation. We actually managed to get three of the four structures walls up and two of those
Delania POV I was so surprised when Alpha Baylor invited Sarafina to run with Shammus tonight. I won’t lie and say that for just a brief moment I fantasized about seeing more than his naked chiseled chest and abs. I want to know how far that tattoo on his left hip dipped into his pants and I definitely wanted to know exactly what it felt like to have him pressed against me. When he led me out of the packhouse after dinner I expected that we would strip and shift leaving our clothes on the packhouse porch like we always do. But he led me past the training grounds and to the other side of the temporary housing that is being built. I was already giddy with excitement because he had held my hand the entire time. When he stopped and looked around I asked, “Alpha why did we come all the way out here? We usually leave our clothes at the packhouse.” When he looked into my eyes, it was as if he was staring into my soul. My heart beat frantically in my chest as he replied, “That’s an interes
Baylor POV This morning went far better than yesterday morning. I woke feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. After a quick shower and getting dressed I headed down the stairs. I couldn’t wait to see Delania this morning. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I saw Siobhan with one of the pups in her arms creeping towards the kitchen. I cleared my throat, “I said no work until tomorrow.” She jumped, startled and turned to face me red faced. “I wasn’t going to do anything Alpha, I swear. I was just going to see if everything was going as it should be,” she said sheepishly. “Siobhan, I know you’re a hard worker and you’re ready to jump right back into the swing of things. Just please take this one last day to let yourself just be a mom,” I encouraged. I didn’t want to be stern with her, because I realized she was soft hearted. I just need for her to understand how importantly I view motherhood. Maybe I am a little overboard since I didn’t have my own mother most of my life, but
Baylor POV I walked into the room I shared with Mitchum and told him that I needed to catch him up on everything that had happened since he had left. “Before I get into bringing you up to date with everything, did you happen to find out who the healers in the group you brought home were?” I inquired. “Actually they were the first to introduce themselves. Their names are Lenus and Sirona,” Mitchum replied. “Okay hold on a minute,” I told him. I used the mind-link to tell my Gamma to get the healers to visit Machieste. ‘Clive?’ ‘Yes Alpha?’ ‘Can you find Lenus and Sirona the healers and send them to check on Machieste, please’ ‘Yes Alpha, right away.’ “Okay, now let’s start from the beginning. The day you left we worked on the building sites. At dinner that night Sibbhan’s water broke. At that same time one of the warriors called us to the borders of the territory. When we got there was a vampire holding a pup and supporting a very seriously injured guardsman,” I said and paused for
Machieste POV I feel like I am trapped in my own personal hell. The only consolation at this point is that I am no longer in pain and I know that is in part due to Dagger healing me. Dagger has told me that the Crone Agatha has sent him healing power twice and he says the healers are here now. But there is something else Dagger senses that is near, our mate. I am not worthy of my mate, I failed to protect my Luna. Who would want a mate who failed to protect someone’s life? That day plays on a continuous loop here in my mind , my failure relived over and over again. Dagger says the key to waking up is to accept my victory, but there was no victory I failed. I am doomed to be trapped in my mind for an eternity. As the day once again replays in my mind I try to see where there was any sort of victory in my actions: Flashback “It should be no more than a day’s journey from Oileán Emerald Pack to Skatom Mochain Pack. As Luna Emilia’s personal guard, you are also responsible for protec
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
