I woke up early this morning, tangled in Wyatt’s arms. The weight of what happened last night hit me like a ton of bricks. I love Wyatt. I’m in love with this perfect man, who accepts me as I am. Flaws and all. But grief is a funny thing. One moment, I’m able to smile, remembering the life that I got to share with Parker, and the next moment, my heart aches, missing him deeply. I chose to give myself to Wyatt last night, out of pure love. I wanted him. I wanted to share that part of me with him. But before last night, Parker was the only man who I’d shared myself with wholly. I don’t regret it. Not even in the slightest. I just hope that Wyatt doesn’t look down on me for moving on so fast. I guess it’s not even really moving on. It’s moving forward, because a piece of my heart will always remain with Parker. I almost asked him to mark me last night. I feel my cheeks heat, thinking about it. ‘When are you going to let me out to get a piece of Dex?’ Iris whi
A huge smile spread across his face, “And I am madly, deeply, and unequivocally in love with you, Felicity Donovan.” He grabbed my hand, lacing our fingers together as we walked through the trees quietly. “So, what’s your favorite color?” he turned his head, studying me. “That’s a tough choice. Probably green. But not just a plain green, a deep, emerald green. I don’t think I’ve seen much of it in person, but there are forests with some of the most beautiful greens. What is yours?” “Noted. I know you’re probably going to think this is cliché, but blue, like the color of your eyes. You have this deeper blue on the outer parts, and then ocean-like blue specks throughout, creating the most interesting blue color I’ve ever seen,” he explained, running his hand through his hair and looking at the ground. I was left speechless at his attention to detail. “They sound so much more beautiful through your eyes.” He stopped turning towards me and tipping my chin to look up at hi
I haven’t seen Elenore since she visited me after I woke up. A guard has delivered food three times a day for the last six days. Ryzen has become a fast friend in here, not that I can particularly speak to anyone else, but he seems like a good guy. From what he’s told me, he left his pack after his mate rejected him for being different. She was the Alpha’s daughter and not interested in a “freak”. He was a peaceful rogue for two years before Elenore found him. He was passing through the area and was stopped by warriors at Blue Lake before being captured and brought here. I found it incredibly suspicious that he was captured after passing near Blue Lake Territory. He told me that Elenore sometimes uses a female to lure her victims, which is what happened to him. Sitting in this room has been isolating. Outside of the occasional conversation with Ryzen, I’ve spent most of my time in my head, thinking about Felicity and Helena. My heart ached for them. I wanted to
“I missed you so much little peanut” Helena giggled as I peppered her face with kisses. I went straight from the plane to Alex and Morgan’s to pick her up. “I am never leaving you for that long again,” I whispered, planting one final kiss on her head. Looking at her, I feel like she doubled in size since I was away, even though it had only been for five days. Glancing around the house, I started to have a small freak out. There are far too many things that she could get in to. Helena will be crawling soon and I’m entirely unprepared. I scoop her up, taking her to the kitchen to make us some breakfast. Sitting her in her little seat, I grab out some yogurt and a banana. She opens and closes her hands, making noises while reaching for the banana. Watching her do something as simple as eating brings tears to my eyes. I think of how much Parker would have liked to be here to see her grow. Pulling out my phone, I snap a picture of her covered in food befor
I’ve officially moved into Felicity’s house with her and Helena. The last few weeks have been total bliss. I didn’t think things between us could get better, but every day with those two is special. I’ve been slacking on my Beta duties and my father has been checking in the office every day for the past week. ‘You can’t ignore your duties just because you’re mated now,’ he’d say. I rolled my eyes thinking about it. I haven’t necessarily ignored them, just put them to the side for a little while. I know they are there waiting for me, which technically means that I'm not 'ignoring' them.“Nice to see you in the office, son,” my father said, closing the door behind him. “This might be your old office, but it would be nice if you knocked before just barging in here.” He rolled his eyes, “How is work coming?” He knows that the pack is pretty quiet. We don’t have many issues that need tended to and my duties as the head of accounting for our cover business are all taken ca
“The Luna’s heart rate is dropping; we need to get the baby out now!” a nurse yelled and chaos ensued. Doctors and nurses ran around the room shouting orders at each other. Kai looked like he was about to faint and Cami looked pale. “Cami, you've got this. You are the strongest person I know,” Felicity whispered, squeezing her hand gently. I could feel her despair through our bond. Cami was Felicity's best friend. She'd do anything to protect her.“Felicity, if it comes down to me or the baby, they save him, do you hear me?” Cami gritted her teeth through another wave of pain. Her eyes were bloodshot and she released a whimper as the pain subsided. “NO! THEY WILL SAVE YOU BOTH!” Kai roared, letting his Alpha aura out. Kai wasn't helping anyone, but I don't blame him. I acted out of line when Felicity and I weren't even a thing yet.... I can't imagine how it would be now. I grabbed onto his shoulders, shaking him, “You cannot act like that right now. Cami needs you calm. Take
“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
