LOGINFive years later Valerie's POV"Take the girl to the hospital first of all. Be gentle with her, and do everything to ensure she's comfortable," I seethed as I spoke to Jamie on the phone. "As for the man that did this, he will never see the light of day again."I rolled both fingers on my temples the moment I ended the call. They'd been a case of sexual assault, and the girl was brave enough to report the incident.She was not allowed to have a phone, so she had begged a stranger and sent an emergency email to the packhouse. Jamie went to get her out, and he just told me that he walked in on an assault on her again. By her guardian. Her Uncle that was supposed to protect her.Invisible tendrils crawled around my skin as I thought about all she'd been through. I knew first hand how it feels to be sexually assaulted, so I hated to think of anyone going through that.My past with Ronald motivated me to open up a private foundation, where I helped girls like this one. I didn't just get j
Adeline's POV Lisa could not keep her mouth shut as I gave the three of them a tour of our pack house. I'd agreed, and was excited to bring them home for a mini vacation for five days. In fact, she had been talking since Mario came to pick us up. Zara, Cindy and I nearly died of embarrassment when she began to gush about how handsome he was to his face. Mario was mostly amused, but he was professional enough not to fall for her bait. When we reached the pack, the first man we saw was Beta Jamie. "Oh, damn! Why do they all look like Greek gods around here?" She then leaned in to whisper. "Is he single?" I rolled my eyes so hard, I was surprised it didn't get stuck. "If Carrie catches you ogling her mate, she's going to impale you." "I swear, I will back Carrie up," Zara murmured behind me, tired of the shenanigans. While Cindy just stood somewhere, giggling. As expected, Valerie welcomed them in and made them feel comfortable. "This place is really big and beautiful," Cindy said
~Three months later Adeline's POV Zara stepped inside my room as I opened the door for her. My heart was drumming nonstop inside my chest. I'd returned to school about a month ago, and Muna finally decided to open up to her sister who she was dating and that she was pregnant. She mentioned the werewolf part to her, but Zara brushed it off completely, thinking it was a joke. Now I was left to prove it to her. I talked to Killian about it earlier, and he encouraged me to go ahead. If they don't accept that part of me, it only meant that they were never truly my friends. I understood that perfectly. But it would hurt me still. "So how long have you known?" She didn't sound angry—just in shock. She was asking about the pregnancy. "Just three months ago. I've known my brother was dating someone, I only got to see her that day they forced me back home." Zara's gaze met mine. I tried to imagine how she would take the truth. Among our friend group, she and Cindy were the most rational on
Killian's POV Adeline felt so damn good. And the thought of me finally being one with her made me feel like I was going to burst in ecstasy. I'd been so aroused since the moment I stepped into this room and saw her trembling against the ministrations of the vibrator. Hell, I'd been aroused back in my office, even when I was busy with some requests presented by the pack members. And now? It felt like a dream come through. I pushed in slowly, knowing that she'd not done this before. "Are you okay?" I asked gently, sensing her discomfort. She whimpered. "It's... uncomfortable." I leaned in to place a kiss on her forehead. "It's going to feel good soon, okay?" She nodded, trusting me completely. I shut my eyes and cursed. Her innocence and trust always had a way of unravelling me. I slid in with a groan, until I was finally buried completely within her. My hands reached for her waist, steadying her, waiting for her to adjust to my size. "Are you good, Mama?" I managed to ask, voi
Adeline's POV Killian really drove me to his pack with me sitting on his laps. It was crazy, but I enjoyed every moment of it. When we got back, he still didn't let me go. Instead, he pulled me out and draped me over his shoulder. I laughed. "You are going to carry me inside this way, aren't you?" "Good you know that." "This is not a good look for the future Luna." I protested, even though I couldn't stop laughing. "Actually it is. People will see that we're getting along really well." As he walked me into the pack house, people looked at us, probably surprised to see their Alpha acting this way. I waved to them as if I wasn't hanging from someone's shoulder. Killian walked past his Beta who had a lot to say, Omegas and some other people who wouldn't tear their eyes off me. But he didn't pay them any attention. He only put me down when I got to the room. He cupped my face and placed a kiss on my lips, closing his eyes like he was savouring the taste. "Will I ever get used to th
Adeline's POVOne moment, I was feeling all excited and giddy for meet Killian. The next, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when I realized that Klaus was there, watching me kiss a man. Damn, I didn't even want the kiss to end. But I had to before my cheeks go off in flames.I placed my hands on his chest to push him back the same time Klaus cleared his throat. His gaze was boring a hole in the back of Killian's head, but the latter didn't care. How did these men even qualify to be Alphas?When I faced my Alpha and Luna, I smiled. Valerie got up, walked over and hugged me. I threw my hands around her as well. "Thank you.""Please tell me you're not moving yet. At least, until you are marked."I was certain I would not let Killian go tonight without marking him."I can't promise."She squeezed me tighter. "I'll miss you."A sudden unexpected pang hit my chest as reality dawned. I would really be leaving my home, and my life as I'd known it would change forever. A very big c
