“Cami, you've got this. A few more pushes and your beautiful pup will be out,” I whispered, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Looking at her, I was scared. She was pale. Too pale and her skin felt like fire beneath my cool rag. Kai was on the other side of her, trying to hold it together, but failing miserably. The room was suffocated with his anger and fear. She gripped my hand tightly. “Luna, we’re almost there. I need you to count to three and give us everything you’ve got,” Dr. Jess nodded at Cami. I watched Cami’s chest rise and fall three times before her grip on my hand tightened. A few moments later, I heard the most beautiful sound. The cry of our future Alpha. “You did it baby girl,” Kai whispered, kissing the top of her head. She lolled her head to the side, smiling and leaning into his touch. A single tear slid down her flush cheek, "We did it."I felt my eyes well with tears. My best friend just gave birth to a perfect baby boy. “Alpha, have
It’s been eleven days since the tracker was implanted into my neck. The wound healed after the first day but it’s left a dull ache in my neck ever since. Ry told me he’s had his for months and it continues to cause him pain daily. Ash has been restless being so close to Kiera, yet so far. We’ve watched her being taken out twice; the last time she hasn’t returned from. On her walk down the hall, she glanced over at me and the fear in her eyes made me murderous.Elenore was using her for something that she wasn’t comfortable with and not knowing was eating away at my brain. We didn’t know each other, and I wasn’t entirely sure I was even interested in accepting her as my mate, but the beast in me craved her attention. We were hungry to learn more about her. I’ve healed two of Elenore’s clients. I was forced to dress up as a doctor for the child. I was instructed that at any point if I alluded to what I was, I would be punished greatly. The little girl was so sweet a
My legs pace back and forth on instinct. My mind reminds me that I've been here before and how that turned out. Looking through the one-way glass, I could see Tobias sitting at the table. His wounds have nearly healed, as it’s taken me almost a week to gain the courage to bring him here to talk. “Baby," Wyatt grabbed my shoulders gently stopping my pacing, "You can do this. He is going to piss his pants when he sees you again. He knew when he came here what that meant." I took a deep breath, “I know I can go in there and act tough. But I’m not sure if I’m ready.” That was an understatement. How do you prepare yourself to face the man that led your mate to his death? The man who stole a father from a child. The man who turned my entire world upside down twice now. Wyatt frowned, “Do you want me to go with you?” I shook my head, “I’ve got to do this on my own. I need to make sure he’s telling the truth. I will call out to you if I need anything.” He pulled me towards him
Blinking rapidly, I am having a hard time registering what Felicity is saying in my drowsy state. I rubbed my eyes, trying to focus on her voice. “I’m confused...” I whisper hoarsely. I swear I just heard Felicity say that we rescued Parker. How long have I been asleep? ‘She dreams of the future, dumbass,’ Dex grumbles in my head. “I had one of my dreams. I woke up in a parking garage right in the middle of us finding our way into Elenore’s compound. We were actively releasing wolves from cells when I came face to face with Parker. He’s really alive....” she explained, biting her lip. I watched her face change when she paused. Her emotions were all over the place and jumbling together. I couldn’t tell how she was feeling. At first, her excitement was so strong, then everything blended together, creating a tangled mess of emotion. “He found his fated, Wyatt,” Felicity whispered, a small smile spreading across her face. For a moment after she said that, my heart s
“Tobias gave me the list of everything he could think of that would be important. I’ve moved him and his mate to a guarded room. I have no reason not to believe what he’s saying. Especially now that Felicity has had one of her future dreams and we do end up finding Parker,” Kai announced. Dark bags surrounded his eyes and I knew this situation was taking its toll on him. Not too long ago, he led a typical pack. We had no enemies and everything was straightforward. He looked exhausted.Helena and Finn were sitting with Felicity and Cami in the far side of Kai’s office. It amazes me how quickly Finn was growing. He is a few months behind Helena, but they were almost the same size now. Perks of being an Alpha pup. I glanced at the piece of paper that Kai handed me. Scribbled along the lines were names, each labeled in importance, a diagram of the lower level where we would find the cells, Abe and his wife’s name, as well as their business and home addresses. On the very bottom, the
It took another six days for Kiera to come back from the mission that Elenore sent her on. Each day felt like torture not knowing. My mind is so torn right now between the idea of accepting her, and the fear of not getting the choice. I was asleep and her scent woke me up from a dead sleep. I’d been waiting for almost two weeks to smell the intoxicating scent of roses and peaches. It lingered in the air for a few days after she left, but once it disappeared, I realized how much I wanted to keep smelling that scent. As she walked past the glass wall of my cell, she looked dirty and beaten. Ash growled a deep growl from our chest, though I tried to cover it with a cough. Now wasn’t the time to give away that she was our mate. ‘Contain yourself. If she finds out that we’re mates, it will ruin everything,’ I muttered to Ash. He growled again, putting a block up. I don’t blame him. He is a beast and it’s every wolfs dream to meet their fated mate. Ours is sitting in a cell, mayb
I’m proud of the eleven warriors that were willing to move forward with us. I don’t blame the others for not being interested. Given Tobias’ track record, I don’t want to believe him either. Honestly, before the dream I had the other night, I still had doubt about Parker being alive. There is still a small part of me who thinks that this will turn out to be a sick joke. Another trap that I'm about to walk into. Elenore knows that I have abilities. They may not be as special as Parker's, but if she's as money hungry as it sounds; she won't care. Wyatt wrapped his arms around me from behind, brushing his lips against my shoulder. “With the information that Tobias gave us and the details from your dream, I think we have a shot at making this happen,” Wyatt whispered, tightening his hold on me. I was so grateful for his support in this. Wolves are possessive by nature, and his personality is such a stark contrast from the norm. The Moon Goddess blessed me with a man like him, know
I stood in front of the plane, staring at it absent mindedly. In just a few days, we would be attempting to take down Elenore. I wanted to rip out her throat for everything she’s done. I knew that it wouldn’t change the pain she's caused, but it would make me feel better knowing that she couldn’t hurt anyone anymore. If we pull this off, I have to face Parker again. I’m so happy that he’s alive, but when he finds out that I’ve moved on with Wyatt, what is he going to think of me? Will he try to take Helena from me? Will he be angry? Hurt? Wyatt stood in front of me, “Don’t worry so much, love. It’s going to be okay,” his fingers moved beneath my chin, tilting my face up to his. I felt tears sting my eyes. He can’t promise me that. What if something happens to him? Wyatt is everything to me. I can’t lose him. We have no idea how heavily guarded her facility is. My mind ran through every possibility.Wyatt laced his fingers with mine, “You’re not going to get rid of me that eas
