LOGIN“Mine,” the little girl continued to glare at me. I would think it was adorable, the way she was acting, if it was directed at anyone other than me. I’m a victim. He kissed me. I didn’t mind it…but I wasn’t the one who approached him first.“Shh. It’s okay, baby girl,” the sexy man, Max, whispers against her head. Those same lips that were so passionately kissing me are now tenderly pecking her temple, and she wraps her arms tightly around his neck. Possessive little squirt.“My gi-paw,” she reiterated, and I almost wanted to roll my eyes.Yes. I get it. He’s yours, not mine.His deep chuckle vibrating his bare, bulky chest makes my mouth water, and some of the irritation leaves me. He is very pleasing to look at. That is for sure.When I saw him before with his grandchildren, I thought he was mated. I can see the mate mark on his neck. Now that I’m able to really examine it, though, I can see it is faded and not as prominent as other mated wolves.“I will always be your grandpa, swee
VALENTINEMarvel and Calum came with Ben and me to the store, and I went ahead and got easy s**t for me to cook for the kids, since I would be taking care of them for the time being. I know my son, and I know his ass will be with Vivian as much as possible, as he f****g should.I can’t believe she was trying to shoulder all this alone. That girl. I know why she did it, but it still irritates the hell out of me. She’s our fg Luna and my fg daughter. It infuriates me to think about her suffering on her own, and neither Valentine nor I noticed, since we were so busy with other s**t.“Grandpa?” Marvel asked from the backseat as I drove all of us back to the pack.“Yeah, kid?”“Could I help Mommy feel better with my magic?”Ben looks back at him and shakes his head, answering for me. “You don’t have a way of storing that much energy yet, kid. Remember what Xiomora said? You have to be able to draw energy from somewhere to use a lot of magic, and you aren’t ready to do that yet.”Marvel mak
VIVIAN I messed up. I was planning hoping that I could hide this pregnancy until the second trimester, knowing that with my other symptoms my overprotective husband and father-in-law would run themselves ragged trying to save me, or even convince me to terminate the pregnancy.Valentine suspected, but when I came back from the doctor and shrugged off his concern, he let it go. With the businesses being in their busiest seasons, and Max searching so adamantly for the fairy woman he saw by the chicken coop all those months ago with the theory that she was the Lisa woman we had been looking for I’ve been spending more time on my own with the kids.Valentine is usually at the lumber mill or visiting the plots for logging and mining, spending all day away, and even taking overnight trips for work more frequently.Max stays with me and the kids when Valentine is gone, but he is so wrapped up in the fairy encounter that, luckily, he hasn’t noticed anything off with me yet.Well, until now.
MAX “No sign of her?” I asked Nate, both of us just getting back from runs deep in our territory, into the wilderness.“No, but I did find something interesting,” he muses, scratching his chin, standing butt-ass naked still as I’m slipping back on my underwear.“What?” My excitement rose, thinking he finally caught a scent of her. The beautiful mystery fairy woman from all those months ago.We found her scent in random places all over the pack, mostly in places Vivian and the kids frequent, which raised all of our alarms, especially Valentine’s. It wasn’t until Katherine visited me and hesitantly suggested that she might be the fairy woman we had spent years looking for that our worry turned into hope.We’ve been sending out search parties in hopes of finding her again, but haven’t discovered anything new yet.Well, unless Nate found something…“What did you find?” I asked again.He shrugs, a smug look on his face.“What the hell did you find, you infuriating motherfucker!?”“Wow, su
LISAIt’s been years decades in the human realm since I’ve gone back to check on the livelihood of Joseph’s family. I haven’t needed to check on them for any reason. Lucy survived, and Katherine, Joseph’s daughter, was changed into a vampire by the Northern vampiric lord.There was no reason to continue checking on them. They were the end of the celestial line….That was what I thought, but it appears that the vampiric lord wasn’t as forthcoming as he should have been. I didn’t directly ask if Katherine had any children, but I thought that was an obvious thing to disclose.Guess that is what I get for being over eager about returning to the fae realm. My exile for dishonoring my brother had finally been lifted, so when I thought that the last of the goddess’s line had been saved, and I got the vampire’s word that he would not be having any more children, I returned home.My brother still will not permit me to go back to the courts, or his castle grounds, no matter how much I begged an
VIVIAN “Gipaw!” Aly’s high-pitched squeal almost made me jump. I look up from my laptop at the kitchen table and see Max climbing the front porch steps through the open window.Aly is like a Max detector, always able to sense when he is near. Judging by the way Marvel gets up and strains his neck to catch sight of Max, there is no way Aly could see him from where she is sitting on the floor.Max doesn’t knock, not needing to since he’s family, walking right into our home.Both kids yell their own versions of “grandpa” as he comes in, making his face light up and a broad smile appear.“Marvel and Aly!” he chuckles loudly, bending over and lifting them both in his arms.He sets Marvel right back on the ground after a brief squeeze. Marvel, now six, says he’s too big to be carried. Aly clings to him, totally content in his hold.He walks over to me, carrying Aly, bending to kiss the top of my head. “I’m here as a babysitter. Your mate wants you to be the first to see the renovations to
