The steady beeping sound of hospital machinery breaks through my sleepy fog. It's a sound I don’t think my mind could ever forget. I’ve been here too many times in my life. That dreaded beep invading my brain as I lay here. I feel my lashes flutter against my cheeks as I force my eyes open. My hand feels heavy and warm. I feel a faint tingle under the skin on my hand. I blink a few times trying to focus, but I’m nearly blinded by the light in the room. Everything is white. The walls, the floors, the bed. I see....Wyatt? I blink a few more times, trying to focus. Why is Wyatt here....and....holding my hand, asleep, in the hospital? Where is Parker? I remember we were at the mall, eating lunch, and then so much pain. After that, I don’t remember much of anything. Using my elbows, I try and pull myself up to a sitting position. Wyatt sits up abruptly, releasing my hand. “Hey, how are you feeling?” he whispers groggily, quickly putting his hands in his lap. “The pain is gone, bu
I reluctantly left Felicity at the hospital with Cami, even though my mind was screaming at me to stay. The bond was addictive, and despite being in an awful hospital chair, I slept better than I have in longer than I can remember.I have no fucking idea what is happening right now. Felicity can’t be my mate. She’s already mated to Parker and pregnant with his pup. But the more time I spend near her, the stronger the sparks get. The more intense her scent smells. The more I feel the need to be close to her. None of it makes sense. I’m starting to think the witch that I dated in high school put a curse on me. Fucking witches. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I try to massage away the headache that has begun. I wish Kai was back so that I could talk to him. He'd probably smack me upside the head and tell me what an idiot I was, but I'd take that over nothing.I know it could be dangerous to confide in him since Parker has become a close friend, but he’s been my best friend since we w
I’ve become increasingly impatient with Tobias on his mission. I need that healer to complete my collection. His partner and the child will be a great bonus to me, but aren’t necessary, as I already have captured a future teller.But sometimes things happen, and it wouldn't hurt to have a backup. I’ve been working for three years to secure these mutts. The first year I spent doing research after I was approached by a business partner with the idea. He knew of the mythical werewolf and his “mate”, or whatever you call them. His mate happened to be able to move objects with a single thought. That mate of his sparked an idea in his mind. Why not make money off of these creatures?Abe exploited her trust and that creepy bond they shared. She confided in him more than enough information for us to make this little dream a reality. He came to me, looking for a business partner, and here we are.Humans were willing to do anything to either see or utilize my collection of mutts. I’ve mad
As soon as our plane landed at the airport just outside of the border of our pack, I bolted, shifting into my wolf so that we could make it to Felicity faster. She's been alone for far too long. Ash has been doing nothing but whimpering since we received the call that she was in the hospital. He wanted to tear the pilots head off when he told us that we wouldn’t be able to fly home until the storms passed through. Then, he wanted to tear my head off for leaving her in the first place. ‘Get us to Felicity before I start losing it,’ he growled with a quick howl and picked up his speed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him move so quickly. As soon as we made it to the edge of the forest outside of the hospital, I forced him to shift so that we could get inside, despite his protesting. He'd argued that he needed to see her to know she was okay, but the more time we wasted arguing the angrier I grew.'They're not going to let you barrel through the halls. Just shift and I'll let you forwar
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
