Choosing her heart

My heart races as I glance around the forest. No. No no no. Not again. Looking down, I see I'm in my gown from that fateful night at the mate ball. Black lace with a deep V cut showing off my cleavage. Reaching up, my hair is still pinned to the side, curls perfectly tamed. I'm on the same path that I took so many times before experiencing it for real. My eyes dart around and my heart feels like it might burst from my chest. I know I die tonight. I know my heart stops and I know Parker finds me, but I can't stop it. My feet carry me further and further away from the hustle and bustle of the Mate Ball. After those horrible girls told me I was a freak and I shouldn't have bothered coming. My mate wasn't behind those walls, and I knew I shouldn't have gone. Even if he was, I should have known. I should have known that I wasn't worthy of a Goddess given mate. At least that's what I thought before getting a second chance. In my head, I know it happens, but the fear still feels so rea

I couldn’t stop thinking about Felicity’s fears during training today. I hate to admit it, but I fear the same things and seeing her distraught over them creates a festering anger in my chest. It doesn’t matter how much training you've got; someone might have more. They might be smarter, faster, better than you, but I refuse to be unprepared. I've dedicated the last few months to training long hours. Myself and my warriors. The information that we have currently is extremely limited and I think that is the scariest part. We don’t know where they are hiding. We don’t know if they are using our kind against us; we know virtually nothing.How am I supposed to protect my family, my fellow wolves, even myself without more to go off of? It's frustrating and the only thing that seems to take the edge off is training. I am thankful to be supervising a group of really amazing warriors. While this issue doesn’t apply to them directly, they train just as hard. They are willing to fight with u

“So, our allied packs have about nine special wolves?” I asked, shocked by the number.Kai nodded “Yes, between the five packs, they know of nine. During our meeting, we invited all nine to meet with us. Four of them were from one family. They were very cooperative and helped us with a lot of information.”Nine other wolves just in our allied packs. I never expected that. “Did we learn the abilities they possess?”Kai nodded again. “The four from the same family all of telekinetic powers. They are able to move objects with their mind. Two of the remaining five have mind reading powers. Three chose not to discuss their abilities with us out of fear.”Wow. Telekinesis and mind reading. That’s amazing.Beta Wyatt spoke up “I was just as speechless. You were a shock, but now that we know of all these other special abilities, it’s no wonder they’re hunting us.”Kai scoffed at his Beta, “Seriously, Wyatt?”He gave me an apologetic look. I just nodded, my lips forming a thin line and returni

I watched as Felicity’s figure disappeared into the Earth. My heart ached the further the plane ascended into the air. We had an amazing night, but this trip will be the longest we’ve spent apart since meeting. Even in the beginning, it was if there was a magnet pulling us together. After we made love last night, I stayed awake watching her sleep. It’s been a while since I’ve struggled to sleep while holding her. I memorized every feature on her face. The light freckles that dotted her cheeks. Her beautiful, long lashes. The slight roundness to the tip of her nose. I listened to the sound of her breathing, watching her chest rise and fall with each breath. The wild curliness of her deep, auburn hair. I gently kissed her belly, letting Helena know that I would be back soon, and to take care of mommy while I was gone. Sometimes I had to remind myself to cherish her. I get so wrapped up in the idea of saving them, that I forget my mate needs me. “She on your mind?” Kai questioned,

This is the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen, and it doesn’t even come close to your beauty. Sleep tight my love. I will be home soon. I felt tears stinging my eyes. Parker was so sweet. I looked at the picture that he sent me and I was in awe at how stunning the lake was. The moon lit up the lake, showing the expansive landscape around it. Even in the night, you could see the beautiful blue hue of the water. Maybe one day, we will be able to see it together. Tonight will be the first night I’ve spent away from Parker in a long time. In the beginning of our relationship, he did a lot of night shifts to earn his place with the warriors. Since I’ve been pregnant though, he’s spent every night with me, refusing to allow me to sleep alone. I stared at the picture that he sent me, imagining how much more beautiful it must look in person. You are the sweetest. Send me a picture in day light. I love you so much. I set my phone on the nightstand and tried to get comfortable. My gro
