SarahA week had passed and there were only two more left for christmas. I'm not going to say that I wasn't really anxious to find out if I was really carrying a puppy inside me or not, because until now, I hadn't felt anything different.And that has been very frustrating.I asked Liane over and over again how long it took her to find out she was pregnant and she simply replied that it was much faster for us.For humans, it was normal to feel the first symptoms after the second or third week, while for wolves, this decreased by half.The thing is, a week had already passed. Liane just said I didn't have to worry about it and keep trying. It was obvious that I was. After all that hell we'd been through, I actually grabbed Stanley by the neck and pulled him into the bedroom whenever we had time. And we harnessed each other at all times.It was impossible for me not to get pregnant with him... Right?I found myself opening the fridge for the tenth time just to cut up another piece of sa
Six months later...SarahI'm not going to say that pregnancy is easy and beautiful, because most of the time it isn't. I was already exhausted and hadn't even given birth yet. I just wanted to eat and sleep. I had put on twenty kilos and my back was asking for relief. And Stanley loved every second of every day because he wasn't the one pregnant.But, of course, there were also the magical moments. Like, for example, the first time the baby moved at 3 months and I screamed Stanley to feel it with me. I also loved rubbing my stomach and imagining perfectly the little thing that was there inside me. I loved lying on the grass in the early morning because it was the only position I didn't feel my back screaming for mercy. And it was summer, so the weather was perfect and convenient to enjoy.And the last moment I loved was when we decided on the names. That was actually last night when I couldn't sleep. Because apparently it was my baby's favorite time to kick my belly. Stanley kept tal
SarahThe next day I said I was going to call James with the news, but Stanley cut me off by saying he wasn't ready for visitors yet. I looked at his face with Hazel in his lap and laughed as Hailey slept in her crib after nursing. Hazel had more trouble falling asleep than she did."Aren't you ready, Daddy?" I asked wryly and Stanley nodded as he looked at Hazel with his hazel eyes still wide. He and his sister were the cutest things in the world.At night, Stanley took my cell phone and handed it to me."Here." He looked apologetic. "I was such an asshole, sorry. You can warn your brother and father about our children." He murmured as he felt our lips together."It's okay, I understand how it is, Stanley. I won't blame you for wanting some time with me and the twins before the others arrive." He smoothed my cheek and I picked up the phone. I went to the couch and sat down already dialing James's number. Stanley sat on the arm of the couch and watched me."Hello? Little sister?" Jame
EpilogueSix years later..Ever since the twins started walking, the house was a mess a minute after it was tidied up. And boy, if my blood wasn't wolf, I'd be crazy right now.I was lying on the rug in the living room resting for a while. The sofa was out of the way because I had pushed it so I could get a cart that Hazel had let roll under it and I was enjoying a few seconds while the twins were in the room playing.But that didn't last long."Mommy!" I heard Hailey's voice and looked up just long enough to see the red mane running towards me before she jumped on top of me. I laughed and rolled with her on the rug."Where's your brother?" I asked and she looked at me with those caramel eyes."He's mad because he said I took his cart."What cart?"A red one." I looked over at the coffee table and saw the cart I'd just grabbed from under the couch."Hazel!" I called him and after a few seconds, he appeared in the hall. The unruly black hair was already down to his ears. His eyes, also
SarahAnd suddenly everything was happening too fast... James was so tense, I could tell he had been injected with an insane amount of adrenaline straight into his chest. Liane was next to Amelia on the sofa, and seemed to be suturing her neck. I had imagined that James would bring Amelia here, but not in a situation like this... I looked at the whole situation around me happening as if I was watching them in slow motion, for a brief moment I blinked and looked at Stanley. I saw him with his eyebrows furrowed, frowning." By any chance, can you explain it to me? " Stanley said with his fists clenched and only then did I notice Lucas there. He stopped, looking at the two of us with wide eyes. And then Stanley asked again, in a serious tone. "Can you please explain to me exactly what the fuck happened?""I could ask you the same thing." James replied." This is not the time for this. " Ethan approached them. "I'm sure they'll explain later." Lucas sighed." We saw her and Abell fighting
JamesI was sitting on a chair next to the bed. The heat was starting to take over my body since I had even forgotten to take off my jacket. I ripped it off and realized my hands were still dirty with dried blood.I had lost track of how much time I'd spent staring at that face across the bed. Quiet, inert. Trying to capture any micro movement on her pale face. Watching her chest rise and fall normally under the coverlet, and if by chance the color would return to the fingers of her hands. It would be great...I heard footsteps in the hallway and then three knocks on the door. Sarah's scent soon reached my nose."Come in." I said and the door opened slowly. I saw her come in with a plate in her hand."I thought you'd be hungry." She smiled, but the smile soon faded as she glanced toward the bed."Thanks." He left his plate on the nightstand and walked over to where I was standing."Want to talk?" I sighed and looked back at Sarah. She looked pained as she looked back at me. Do I look
SarahI woke up to a faint noise coming from the hallway. It seemed to be quite early yet. I looked to the side and saw a beautiful, slightly tanned body wrapped in the sheets. I carefully crawled over to him and kissed his back. It was supposed to be just a kiss so as not to wake him up, but his smell and his delicious heat ended up urging me to slide the tip of my nose over his skin and leave more kisses along the length of his back. It didn't take long for me to hear a husky murmur coming from him. Which got me a wide smile."Don't tease me first thing in the morning, my female..." He spoke quietly. "Even more an Alpha."I'm sorry I woke you up." I ran my hand down her back and down to her lower back. "I couldn't resist." I whispered in her ear before squeezing her delicious ass."Hmm." He murmured, moving his arms. "And you think I can resist if you continue like this?" He turned his head to look at me and I realized that his wolf was wide awake when I met his scarlet eyes. Which
JamesSaying I was calm was something I couldn't. My body shivered every time I moved from side to side. I could feel what was going on behind the bathroom door. I could hear that cry. And the only thing that kept me from going in was Stanley, who called out to me just in time."Let them. I'm sure Sarah will help. Everything has its time." I felt my chest tighten as I reached the living room. Stanley had just made some coffee."Yeah, the same amount of time you didn't give at that moment..."I regretted it, okay? I already apologized." I sighed when he returned a hostile look. I raised an eyebrow and poured myself some coffee as well. It'll be good to keep me awake today.Oh shit, tomorrow I have to go back to work."What happened?" I asked and he took a deep breath."Sarah is a little too provocative."I don't want to know anymore. Spare me that." I looked away and heard a soft chuckle come from him. However, a tired laugh."Actually, that's not it." He said. "It's too frustrating to
