"Hello," I nervously said into the phone."Leila?" Hearing Blake's voice made me smile. It had only been hours since I last talked to him, yet after what had happened, it felt like a lifetime."It's me," I shyly replied.My palms were still sweaty, and they felt sticky when I rubbed then against my bare knees."For a moment there I thought it was Dylan with another reason why I should stay away from you," Blake replied, chuckling.I smiled, and couldn't help as my eyes got watery. I still couldn't believe I was talking to Blake after everything that had happened today with him and Christy."No, he's in the other room," I said. Just last night I was telling Blake the exact same thing.Blake's laugh resounded through the phone."Again in trouble, I see.""Just a little," I admitted, chuckling along with him."How are things over there? Are you alright?" Blake's voice turned serious as he asked that."I'm alright. I thought you would be mad at me though. I don't know what to say about to
We made it to a fairly large two story house. It looked like a family home, and for some reason, it just suited John.When John opened the door right after we passed the front porch, it looked like he'd been waiting for us. I assumed Dylan had warned him that we would be stopping by."Dylan," John said, giving him a man-hug. Dylan returned it, telling John that he was excused for the rest of the week from any pack duties."Hey Leila." I was surprised when John gave me a hug too.It felt weird because John and I were never that close, but I knew why he'd done it. Alphas were meant to provide a sense of security. I was hoping that Dylan and I being there would help.I had been expecting him to be mad at me. It wasn't that I didn't want Lilly to get justice from her attack- I just didn't want Blake or Christy to get hurt. By now, I was thinking John knew about yesterday."Hey," I replied, giving him a small wave."You okay man?" Dylan asked him. John was showing us into the house, and he
The following day was as calm as the one before. In the morning, Dylan was already in the shower getting ready for the day.I waited in bed until he got out. I was still tired from last night, and I was feeling lazy. I wanted to spend the morning with Dylan, but I knew he had to leave. What happened with Christy was already behind us, but we still had problems.Thirty minutes later, Dylan was out the door and starting his work day with the pack.Dylan told me he needed to talk to Jace and a few other guys. I was sure the talk involved Alpha Nicolas and Alpha Jackson, so I didn't even ask about it. Later on, they'd be coming here to do some paper work.When I got downstairs, Eric was waiting as usual."You look tired," I told him, noticing the bags under his eyes."I didn't sleep good last night," he said, resting his head on the counter of the kitchen island.I was thinking he'd begin with stories of what he had done last night, but he didn't."Are you okay?" I asked him, closing the
Dylan wasted no time in setting up a meeting with the men from the pack. Right after I told him what Jake had said- he called Eric, Scott, and two more guys over to the mansion.There was no way he was going to leave the house if I wasn't completely secured. I was sure that for the next few days, I would have a shadow at all times."Hey, what happened?" Eric asked, hurriedly making his way toward me.As soon as he was close enough, he stretched out his arms to catch me in an embrace."What did Dylan tell you?" I asked him. Dylan had just left. Now that the guys were here, he felt better about leaving me home."We're getting attacked. But he didn't say anything else," Eric said, as he let go of me.Scott walked into the room after that. The two other pack members who were going to stay with me walked in right behind him."Luna," both of them said, bowing their heads at me."Oh right, this is Steven and that's Ram," Eric introduced them, as the two guys once again bowed their heads in r
Rated R VersionAfter saying our goodbyes, I was met with Eric staring at me- raising an eyebrow."What?" I asked him, when he wouldn't look away."The power of women is amazing," Eric commented."What are you talking about?" I asked him, scrunching my eyebrows."Actually, your power with men is amazing."I continued staring at him, going as far as crossing my arms. I wasn't intimidating- at least not to Eric. It didn't seem like he cared much that I was his Luna."Blake is throwing his pack in a war to help you. That is very impressive," Eric said, grinning.It was always the same thing with him. Apparently, only Blake and I knew that our friendship wasn't remotely close to anything romantic. Eric still made comments here and there, insinuating Blake was interested for another reason. It wasn't like that though.Every single time I talked to Blake- he would start the conversation by telling me something that Christy had said. A few times I had even gotten a chance to talk to her myse
Jace, John, and Eric had stayed behind. Eric was usually around, and he claimed he hadn't eaten all morning. I was almost sure that was not true.Jace seemed curious as to why I had offered another hour to the guys, and John probably stayed because he's third in command.While Dylan began talking with John and Jace, Eric was keeping me company in the kitchen. He kept picking at the pieces of bacon I was frying in the pan. By the time I put them in the plate, half of the bacon strips were gone."If you keep doing that, I'm never going to finish," I scolded him.He just grinned at me, shrugged, and popped another piece in his mouth.When Eric and I walked into the dining room with the breakfast I'd just made- Dylan, Jace, and John went silent."Why did you delay the meeting?" Dylan asked. The other guys had already started serving their plates, except for Dylan.I began piling his plate with food, taking my time. I was only buying myself some time- not that it would matter in the end. I
Alpha Caine was extremely strong. Benjamin said Alpha Caine alone could take on more than ten Wolves in just minutes. He'd brought along fighters, which was that much more helpful. Blake was coming as well with plenty of men. Benjamin spoke of how strong Blake was and how much more he'd become since he'd taken the Alpha position years ago. He also reminded me we had the strongest pack in the US. I had to have faith in the pack, but most of all- I had to have faith in my mate.His words calmed me down enough to stop my struggling- at least for now."Benjamin, do you think I can move over to the next cell?" I asked him.He was about to leave and stand guard upstairs. When he noticed I pointed to the cell that was closest to the Rogue, he shook his head."I'm not sure that's a good idea. He's dangerous," Benjamin said, eyeing the Rogue that had just picked up his head to look at us."Please, I don't want to be down here alone. And, I have no one to talk to," I pleaded.He gave the Rogu
Blake's POVI woke up feeling someone's lips on me."Awake early, are we," I said to Christy, who continued sucking on my neck."I was missing you," she said, slightly biting me.A chill ran down my body, and I wrapped my arms around her waist, shifting us so I was over her."Didn't have enough last night?" I asked, looking down at her.She wrapped her legs around my waist, making me aware that she was naked under me."I had enough, I just want more," she said, picking up her head to kiss me.I grinned in the kiss, but pulled away after just a few moments."None of that right now," I told her, getting up from the bed.She growled at me, like she did every time I pulled away."Why? I want you right now," she said, crossing her arms and accentuating her breasts."You can reward me after my return, tomorrow," I told her, as I gathered my clothes from the couch.Last night I had picked my attire, and my suitcase was packed as well."I don't want you to go," Christy said, just before I ent
