My body felt exhausted after the events of last night and I dozed off pretty quickly after the change. Waking up, I glanced at the clock and it was almost noon. I tried to climb out of the bed and every muscle in my body screamed at me. I wasn’t sure if it was the intense night Wyatt and I had, the turning, or both. Probably both. Groaning, I forced myself out to the living room where I saw Helena and Wyatt on the couch watching a children's movie. They had a plate of cookies on the table and two half-drank glasses of milk. The smell of freshly baked brownies hit my senses and I moaned. I missed that smell more than I’d like to admit. Wyatt turned towards me, his eyes flashed red and his nostrils flared as if he were inhaling the most delectable scent. He could scent me too. These moments were like experiencing the mate bond all over again, but with a new intensity. With a love that had already been built from the ground up. His lips pulled into a grin, wi
“I didn’t know that my favorite niece was going to be paying me a visit today,” Cami chirped, opening her arms wide as Helena ran into them. Cami's eyes met mine, widening like saucers, and blinking rapidly, though she remained silent. The tilt of her head told me that she was not going to ignore the thoughts running rampant in her mind. “Wewrs Finn?” Helena questioned. “He is right down the hall in the play room. Would you like me to walk you down there?” Cami smiled down at her. She grabbed Helena’s hand, walking her out the door, and returning a few minutes later. As soon as the door shut behind her, she furrowed her brows at me, “So, when were you going to tell your best friend that you are a vampire now?” “It kind of just happened. Like, last night...” She looked between the two of us, “Oh. Ohhhhh,” gasped, wagging her eyebrows. I nodded slowly as heat spread across my surely red face. “Well, congrats. It’s good to know that murder is a turn on for the tw
I reluctantly walked up to the door of the house, silently debating about whether or not I should just turn around and go back home. This was a huge thing to ask of someone. What if it’s too much? I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. The worst that can be said is no, right? Reaching out, I knocked gently on the door. I heard shuffling from inside before the door swung open quickly. “Oh, hi Felicity. If you’re looking for Parker, he’s currently at the training grounds with the warriors,” Kiera smiled awkwardly, sounding out of breath. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. My nerves were eating at me. I took a deep breath, “I’m actually here to speak with you if you don’t mind.” Her eyes widened momentarily before she blinked her surprise away, “Sure, come in.” As she moved to allow me to walk past her, I noticed her growing baby bump. I rarely see Kiera in person any more. "Is Parker keeping rapunzel locked away in his castle?" Her laughter was carefree, and eased
UNKOWN POV“I did as you asked. I found the safe room and programmed it to open at your discretion. I’ll continue to report back on their whereabouts.” I got no response, just the click of the phone call ending. I hated that woman with a passion, but there was nothing I could do to change my current situation. She’d kidnapped my mate and forced me into submission. That’s the beauty of choosing your heart. Sometimes your heart lives outside of your body. And when the worst kind of human being gets a whiff of that; They’ll exploit it in any way possible. If I do as she says, no harm comes to my love. The woman is sick. The people who work with her are sick. Humans in general are sick. If it weren’t for my mate, I would have ended my life a long time ago. My "boss", if you could call her that, was a human. She used creatures with special powers for monetary gain, creating some half-assed version of a circus-jail. I'm able to shape shift into different animals, as well as con
FELICITY POV “Ugh, how in the world am I supposed to concentrate with your pup kicking me every chance she gets?” I yelled, loudly enough for Parker to hear from the kitchen.Looking down at my very swollen belly, I sigh. It’s exhausting being pregnant, but it’s almost over. I’m currently in my fourth month with only one more to go. I hear footsteps and Parker pops his head into the crack in the doorway.“She’s probably just hungry. If she’s anything like her dad, she is kicking because she can hear the sizzling of the bacon I’m cooking.” Parker said, giving me a wink before disappearing down the hallway. Life for Parker and I has been great since we accepted becoming chosen mates. I heard his footsteps heading back towards the kitchen. I rubbed a hand over my round belly. “Is that all it is? You just want some bacon?” I asked my belly, feeling silly for asking questions to our unborn pup.On cue, my stomach rumbled, receiving another swift kick from little Lena. “That answers my q
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
“Finally!” I huffed, shouting into my empty room.My paper was finished, I’d proofread it, and submitted it to my professor. If they are happy with the contents, I will be moving forward to take my exam. Then, I will officially be a teacher.I did a little happy dance, or happy wiggle, since I was sitting in the bed.Closing my laptop, I slowly climbed out of bed in desperate need of using the restroom. On my way down the hall, a swift kick to my bladder caused a warm liquid to stream down my legs. I leaned forward slightly, looking over my belly at the puddle slowly forming on the floor.I closed my eyes, slumping my shoulders. “Seriously? Girl, I was almost there. You couldn’t have waited to kick me?!” I muttered under my breath. This earned me another kick.Audibly sighing and running my hands over my face, I carefully stepped around the puddle and headed to the bathroom to grab a towel and some cleaning supplies.'This is embarrassing. I take no responsibility for you wetting your
“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
