I woke up early to find that Parker was no longer at the hospital with me. I tried to link him, but he had his block up, which concerned me.Glancing around the room, I notice he hadn’t left anything, which meant he'd actually left. I checked my phone but had no notifications from him. I tried to link Kai, but again, was blocked out. Usually, Kai wouldn’t have his block up. Being the Alpha meant that he needed to be available if anything important happened in the pack. I pondered for a moment before trying to link Wyatt. Since he’s the Beta, he may know what’s going on. ‘Hey, it’s Felicity. Is Parker with you or Kai?’My link to him surprisingly went through. That's strange. I waited a moment before his voice floated in my head. ‘Yeah, he didn’t tell you he was meeting Kai?’ ‘No, I must have been asleep when he left. That makes me feel better. Thank you.’ A few minutes passed before I heard his voice again, ‘Is everything okay?’ He sounded concerned, which made me smile. ‘
I’m still in shock from my meeting with Kai. When he linked me to come meet him, I never expected to find out that a wolf running from the very people we are trying to track down was sitting in his office. I wanted more information. I needed it with every fiber of my being. If he was telling the truth, and he’d been captured but escaped, he had very important information that could help us. My mind was still waffling with trusting him or not. Ash had growled at him, but he wouldn’t speak to me after I left Felicity again. I couldn’t tell if he was just moody over being away from his mate again or if he was getting bad vibes from Tobias. I didn’t want to leave Felicity again so soon, but since this was detrimental to my family, I needed to speak to him. If Felicity understood, then Ash could too. We interrogated him for hours last night before Kai decided to take a break and give him a guarded room to stay in for the evening. If he was innocent, we were simply leading him to beli
A bath was just what I needed to come down from the rollercoaster high that Parker just took me on. It had been far too long since the last time we were intimate and goddess, it felt incredible. I wanted to look presentable today, so I combed out my hair with a real brush and put product in to bring my curls to life. Smudging a little eyeliner along my upper lash line really brought out my eyes. After applying some mascara and pink lip-gloss, I felt more like myself than I have in a long time. With everything that has been going on with Parker, our pup, and now this mess with Wyatt; I haven't felt like doing much other than hiding in bed. Now I just needed to find an outfit that actually fit my ever-growing belly. I headed to the closet, rummaging through all of my clothes and coming up empty handed. Everything I pulled out didn’t feel right or wouldn’t fit right. I plopped on the edge of the bed, frustrated and stressed, “Peanut, you’re going to have to come out soon or I’m
I struggled sleeping again last night. It's starting to feel like I'll never get a full night of rest again. Felicity tossed and turned throughout the night, which worried me further. She’s due to give birth any day now. I can imagine she’s uncomfortable on top of everything else. I couldn’t stop thinking about how terrible lunch went yesterday. I never expected Felicity to ask so many questions. Goddess, I'd never seen her so direct. She seemed so sure that Tobias was lying. So sure that he was somehow deceiving us. The more I think about it, the more I just can’t imagine why. What gain would he get out of coming here? He didn’t ask for me specifically. He just told his story to Kai and begged for asylum. Kai was the one who reached out to me because his story directly impacts my family. A huge part of me is so relieved to have found someone who isn’t necessarily related to me by blood, but related to me in the sense that we share special abilities. I linked Wyatt, asking if h
My eyes feel so heavy. Almost as if they are taped shut. After a few tries, I force them open to see the lush green of a forest. I blink a few times, looking from side to side. Where am I? Sitting up up and looking down at my belly, I realize that I’m not pregnant anymore. I push myself off of the ground, wiping the dirt and leaves that stuck to my palms away. My fingers linger over the flat plane of my stomach.Dread settles in the pit of my stomach as it finally dawns on me where I'm at. I’m inside of my nightmare again. This time, I’ve woken up in a different area than before. It looks familiar, but something has changed. The air around me feels more dense. It's harder to breathe as my lungs take in breaths of icy air. I start heading north, climbing over fallen trees and trekking through heavy brush. It’s recently rained and running through the mud barefoot is becoming tiring. After a few minutes, my toes feel numb from the temperatures. ‘Iris, can you hear me here?’ Nothi
Dex has been howling in my head for the last twenty minutes. He’s been fighting for control to go to Felicity. The moment her water broke, we could feel her pain. It was the first time that I actually felt something beyond the sparks and pull.Being forced to stay out here while she goes through giving birth might just kill me. The urge to force my way into her room is a battle I'm so fucking close to losing. Kai ordered me to escort Tobias to the dungeons until we could finish having this conversation. Felicity didn’t tell me her plan, but as soon as she started speaking, I knew she had seen something in the dream or future nightmare or whatever you want to call it. She had him. She has the information and he just sat there playing dumb. It was infuriating. And what was worse... was the way Parker stared at her; a mixture of shock and anger in his features. He wasn't angry at Tobias for being a fucking liar. He wasn't asking how she knew what questions to ask. He was just angry
I ran towards Felicity’s room as fast as I could, everything around me blurring with my speed. I didn’t bother waiting for Dr. Jess. I just needed to see her beautiful blue eyes. Pain tore through my heart as memories of her giving birth flooded my head. I haven't seen her eyes in what feels like a lifetime, and there was a chance I never would again.As soon as I burst through the door to her room, she glanced up at me, holding a small pink bundle. Tears blurred my vision when I saw her eyes. They were red and puffy from crying, but her face held the happiest smile. “She’s perfect,” Felicity choked out a sob, glacing down at our pup before returning her watery gaze to mine. I slowly walked over to them, peeking at Helena wrapped up like a little burrito. She truly was perfect. I sat down on the edge of Felicity’s bed. The tears I had been holding back flowed freely. “You are an amazing woman, Felicity,” I choked out, "I've never met anyone as strong as you are."She leaned
I’m in awe that I’m officially a mom. I carried a pup for five months, but none of that prepares you for the real thing. It’s been twenty-four hours and I am just in love. I'm not sure you truly understand the term 'Love at first sight' until you give birth. I don’t remember much of what happened after getting to the hospital. Parker tries to talk about it, but gets so choked up, I haven’t asked him again. It almost feels as if time warped. I was laid down on the operating table and then I woke up to the sound of Helena cooing in the tiny bassinet next to my bed. He’s been absolutely amazing since she was born. I haven’t had to change a single diaper and if I wasn’t breast-feeding, I’m sure he would be giving her bottles any time she’s hungry. He’s been hands on since the moment he walked in. I heard Helena stirring, so I pulled her little bassinet closer to the bed. She was suckling on the air, so I knew it was time to feed her. Scooping her up, I placed her close to my chest an
