Breathing heavily, trying to stay conscience, I look up at Andy. Who has taken a break from destroying me. “Why?” I ask, because he was never nice to me, but to team up with Clara… For this…He turns glaring at me, then shrugs. “Guess you won’t be leaving this room anyway. She’s, my mate.” I feel all the blood in my body freeze. What?!I’ve always been told mates mean everything to people that get them. Yet, he’s watching his mate try to get with someone else?“She’s going to become Luna, then kill Liam. Then I’ll be Alpha when she marries me.” He says with all the confidence in the world. I just shake my head at him, “She’s using you.” I tell him.He snarls at me, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” He growls and I grimace. Not wanting him to continue beating me.“I know she’s loved Liam for as long as I can remember. I know she’s done everything to get rid of me to get to him.” I try to make him see. He just snarls again, “It’s all apart of the plan!” He shouts, coming to st
This can’t be happening. Not again. She was left alone for five seconds! No!I watch as Dallas paces back and forth along the street, looking for her. Her scent disappears after we leave the porch. The only other scent is ours!Did her father find her?Everybody is looking, but we won’t find her. Not by scent, and she’s been gone too long that we’d see her.My mind races, as I try to figure out anything. Try to think of any plan. “Do you think maybe she ran again?” Cole asks softly behind me. A low growl leaves my throat.“How do you suppose she did that, Cole? She could barely walk! You think she just took off?” I scream at him. He puts his hands up, “Hey, I’m just pointing out all the possibilities! It wouldn’t be the first time!” He screams back at me.Already everybody is on edge. Fuck! I scoff, my hand running down my face. Then turn away from him. We’re just going to keep butting heads if I stay and argue.Hours we search for her. Hours! I can’t believe she’s gone again. The tho
My eyes open and I can see the sun shining through the curtains. I wonder how long I was out this time.Everything looks brighter, clearer, that scent. Goddess that scent! I throw my body up into sitting and look around. I’m in Liam’s room, I can smell it here, but my body starts moving before I can even give it commands.I look down, I’m wearing one of Liam’s t-shirts and it looks like some of my shorts. My legs take me to the hallway, down the stairs, through the living room and into the kitchen.My body freezes, ‘Mate!’ My wolf exclaims, just as Liam turns from putting a plate in the sink. My brain doesn’t process anything as my feet carry me to Liam and I jump into his waiting arms.Our lips clash in the next second, and it feels like I’ve come up for air. Like my bodies been held under water my entire life and I can finally breathe.I hear cheers go up around us, but I can’t focus on anything except my body pressed against Liam’s, my mate! Goddess, I never thought I’d say those w
After a blissful afternoon, locked in Liam’s room we head downstairs to talk to the others. We would have stayed longer if we could have but tonight’s the full moon. We don’t have time.I want to be embarrassed about what our friends witnessed this afternoon, but Liam assures me he didn’t do anything but kiss me until they were out of the room. I’m also having trouble caring. I couldn’t have stopped myself if I tried, I was laser focused on one person, my mate.Goddess, will it ever not feel strange saying that?‘Maybe for you. I however had that moment pictured in my mind for years.’ Liam says in my head, like a creep. ‘Are you just always going to be listening to my thoughts?’ I ask him, and he chuckles. ‘As long as you let me.’I roll my eyes, then realize what he said. I can’t hear his thoughts! How can he hear mine, but I can’t hear his? ‘Because you can put up a block. I don’t want to overload you, so I put it up. I’ll explain how to do it. Everyone’s entitled to their private t
I sit in the middle of the circle again, looking at this disgusting concoction. Honestly, now that I know what it tastes like, I’m not sure I’ll be able to drink it. Plus, the pain. Urg.‘You could always not do it, and we can figure something else out.’ Liam says, and I look at him rolling my eyes. ‘Let’s just trade places and I’ll be concerned about you, while you drink this.’ I say in my head back to Liam, while he smirks. ‘I would in a heartbeat, if I could.’ Liam reply’s and I sigh.Disgusting concoction it is.The ritual starts exactly the same, just a slight tingly sensation in my stomach. Then I have to drink the black liquid.My vision goes blurry again, then everything goes black.When I open my eyes again, I’m in the same room as my father. My eyes widen, and I start to back up. He looks mostly the same, but his eyes aren’t red, they’re… Brown?He doesn’t seem to see me. What’s going on? How am I here?“Heather! Where are you?” He shouts into the house. Heather?My whole b
He’s been trying to protect her. Even before she was born, he wanted Heather to run. Wanted her to hide, so he couldn’t find them.I look down at Amy, while her cries soften, and she begins to wipe them up with the back of her hand. She looks up at me with bloodshot eyes. “Can we save him then?”“Save him? Who? The moon man?” Cole asks, and Amy and I both look at him. She nods then looks towards Hazel. “Is there a way to take the evil part out of him?” Amy pleads. Hazel scrunches her eyes.“I’m not sure. Maybe? What did you see?” Hazel asks.Dallas walks over, helping Amy and I to our feet, before grabbing hold of Amy’s other arm. “Aims, are you saying your father isn’t evil. That he has something inside of him.” Dallas asks softly.“Yes! He’s been trying to protect me. Even the night I was shot, he’s the reason I didn’t die! He held the evil part of himself back. I just always assumed he was all evil, but it’s not true. My mom loved him, cared about him, lived with him! We have to se
It feels wrong, being this far away from Liam, when everything is about to go down, but there’s nothing that can be done since we’re going this route.I hate this with every fiber of my being. I hate the fact that they’re all putting themselves in danger, again, to help me. If anyone gets hurt… ‘Stop. We all love you and want this for you. And don’t even pretend that you wouldn’t be the first on board to do this, if it was one of us instead of you.’ Liam says into my mind, and I sigh. ‘I love you.’ I tell him, still thinking of what could happen.I understand what he’s saying, but it really doesn’t make it that much easier. My main concerns are everyone making it out of this and Liam and I can get our kids back here safely.They deserve to not grow up like I did. They deserve the world, and hopefully this will make that happen for them.Mia walks over to Hazel and me, putting her phone in her pocket. “Dallas and Nick are in position and so is Walker.” She says, and I nod. “Liam too.”
‘Amy?’ Liam shouts in my head, desperately. ‘Don’t move! I’m fine.’ I yell back, already knowing he was about to give up all of this and come to help me, but we’re not there yet.‘Amy…’ Liam growls, clearly not wanting to listen, but I can’t respond.His hands wrap around my neck. “You think you’ve won this girl?” He spits at me, as I claw at his arms trying to remove him from my neck. He leans in close to me, “The great part about spells and rituals is they require a witch. And lucky for me yours is right over there.” He says, nodding his head towards Hazel.Though luckily for the plan, she’s not where she was a moment ago.It was up to me to get him riled up. To make him sloppy and hyper-focused. Also, lucky for me that he has the fuse of a bottle rocket, and it took next to nothing.Someone just doesn’t like having his ego dampened.A cruel smile crosses my face as I glance behind him, “You sure?” I croak out, with what little air I had to spare. Then Hazel’s hands, covered in I do
“Why can’t they lock the freaking door?” I ask Lenny as I take a sip of my coffee. He smirks over at me. “You know, you can’t always anticipate when the mood will strike.” He teases and I roll my eyes.Truthfully, I don’t really care. I love seeing that they’re still happy after all these years, especially after everything they went through in order to be together. It just reminds me that I still don’t have that, and I’d rather not see that much of the love.My dad told me that he knew she was his mate once he turned seventeen. Even without being able to feel it, or have his wolf to tell him for sure, he just knew. Weather he was willing to show it or not is another story, but he knew before he really knew.Why can’t I even have that?I hate that I can’t just find my mate and start spending a happy life with her. Heather found hers so quickly. It annoys me how quickly.Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for her, I guess I’m just a little jealous.“Whatever. Are we still going to the party
I roll my eyes and push Liam off of me. Liam grunts but goes easily as I stand up and look over at Dallas. “Just the person I wanted to see.” I tell him and he winks at me then smirks looking over at Liam who growls in warning.I chuckle, “Isn’t it about time you get over Dallas pretend flirting with me?” I chuckle, looking at Liam. He shrugs pulling me towards his chest, “Can’t blame me for worrying someone might take you from me.” He whispers, looking into my eyes and I roll them. “No one will ever take me from you, Liam. You are my first, last and only love.” I tell him, looking into his eyes and running my fingers through his hair.He smiles, then looks behind me towards Dallas. With one final glare he pulls away from me and walks over to his desk.Dallas walks over to me smiling and sits on top of my desk and looks back at me. “Whatcha need me for?” He asks and my smile widens. “We’re planning a ball. Mind-link Nick, I already have Hazel and Mia on their way over.” I tell him and
*Fifteen years later*I walk into Griffons room, shaking him to wake him up. “Griff, you’re going to be late again. Wake up!” I tell him, throwing the blanket off of him. “Mom!” He yells and I roll my eyes.“You’re twenty years old. You shouldn’t still need your mom to wake you up for school.” I tell him and he laughs. “Maybe, I don’t want to go to school.” He tells me and I sigh sitting on the foot of the bed and looking over at him.“You have to go to school.” I tell him and he shakes his head. “You and dad didn’t. Heather doesn’t.” He explains and my jaw clenches.I look towards the door and shake my head. “I would have loved to go to school. And Heather found her mate, and she’s still taking online classes.” I tell him and he rolls his eyes.“So, I just need to find my mate, then I don’t have to go to school anymore?” He asks, and I look back at him and smile. “You know that’s not what I mean. But if you really don’t want to go to school anymore, we’ll talk to your dad later today
We get home and the air just feels different, cleaner, happier.We’re finally free of the moon man, even if it took killing my father to do it. It sucks that I’ll never get to know him, but it’s hard to miss someone you not only hated but wanted to kill you your whole life.Everybody I love is finally safe, and I really couldn’t ask for more. Maybe I’ll meet my dad in the afterlife, get to know him there.I look across the street at the empty lot that’s just sitting there. That was my home once upon a time, but this is my home now. My mom is happy, and I know she wants me here with my children, not there with her.I take a deep breath and turn towards Liam, looking for the kids. His eyes catch mine, “My parents are watching them at the park. Figured you might want a minute to breathe.” He explains and I nod, then look around the room and back at him.“It’s so quiet.” I tell him, looking around at the empty room, other then me and him. He smirks then grabs me and pulls me into a hug. “
My body shakes in Liam’s arms as he makes me cum for a third time. And we hear a knock at the door.Our breathing labored I glance towards the door, while Liam lays his head into my neck, sighing. “You should probably save some water for the other patients.” Cole laughs, and I groan. Having had forgotten that there were other people in my room.Goddess, how much did they hear?Liam chuckles, ‘Just enough to leave quickly.’ He says in my head, and I groan again. “Let’s get you dressed. You have company.” He says smiling as he places me on my feet.Once I’m dried and dressed I make my way out of the bathroom. Falling to my knees to grab hold of my babies as they race towards me.“Oh, I missed you two so much!” I say between kissing their faces and hair. They giggle, “We missed you too, Mommy!” Heather exclaims, squeezing me tighter.“Mommy, grandma and grandpa say the bad man is gone! We can finally be home!” I smile widely and nod. A tear of happiness falling from my eye. Finally!Liam
While I’m happy I got to spend more time with my mom, I hate that she had no options in life other then to die. I grab my mom’s hand and squeeze.She gives me a reassuring smile, “I’m happy, Sweetheart. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be around for you and to watch those to babies grow up, but you’re safe now and I’m so happy it’s finally over for you.”I sigh, is it though? I’m still here. I’m still not with them.I look at my mom thinking about that. “How are you here? I thought he took souls when he killed them?” I ask.She smiles and looks over at the Goddess, “It had something to do with the fact that I’m a wolf, and the fact I was wearing my necklace. She brought me here after I passed and now, I’m essentially hiding.” She explains, with a shrug.I swallow, “For all time? Can you do that?” I ask, looking over at the Goddess, who nods. “As long as she’s wearing the necklace, I don’t see why not.”I nod slowly, then a pain radiates through my stomach. I clutch my stomach, and my m
I stare at the ceiling from the hospital bed they’ve put me on. I felt her come back, I felt the bond snap back together, but how long til it happens again.The amount of pain that caused. My heart felt like it had been hit with a hammer and then stomped on for good measure. I’d rather die.How selfish does that make me? I know my kids are waiting for me, but they’re waiting for Amy too. I can’t look them in the eyes and tell them I once again failed their mother.I can’t go through this pain; I’d rather just be with her.A flashback of something she said hits me, when she was asking where the souls her father kill end up.If I die with her, will we end up in the same place? Will I get to hold her again, kiss her, be with her. We’ve already spent too much of this time apart. I can’t live the rest of my life without her.They won’t let me see her, and I know they think I’ll freak out again, which to be fair I can’t promise I won’t, but I need to see her.After watching Dallas’s sullen
I stare up at the gorgeous Goddess in awe. As much as I don’t want to be here, this is insane.“She says she can’t see anything here. What does that mean?” My mom asks the Goddess, frantically looking between the Goddess and me.The Goddess looks down at me, giving me a soft smile. “She’s not fully here, but not fully there either.” She explains, which only makes me more confused.“Wait. Does that mean I can go back?” I ask and she smiles, “That’s up to you. Do you want to go back? She asks, and I nod frantically. “Yes, please! How?” I ask, needing to be back to everyone.I love my mom with all my heart, but as someone who lost their mom, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Especially not my kids.I know Liam will be an amazing dad, but I’m all they’ve known for so long. And I’m sure Hazel and Nick, probably all of them will step up and help, but it’s not the same as having your mother with you. I don’t want to put them through that.“That’s up to you. Something must be keeping you here.”
They’re behind those double doors for hours.The rest of the pack has started coming back to their homes, on Walker’s orders. He sent a few warriors out to clean up the mess of Amy’s father, since we didn’t have time.The sun came up and we’re still waiting. No news is good news, right?I look over at Liam when I hear his phone start ringing. He’s still sitting in the same position, watching the doors. And he makes no move to answer his phone.We all know who it is, and I can understand why he doesn’t want to answer it, but he has to. They’ll think we’re all dead if he doesn’t.I crouch in front of him, and his eyes slowly move to mine. “I can’t.” He croaks out, like it physically pains him to talk. I nod my head and hold out my hand for his phone.He slowly moves his hand and grabs his phone from his pocket handing it over to me, when the line cuts off. I’m about to call back when it rings again.I stand up and walk outside, not sure if it’ll be the kids or not, and not wanting Liam
