**TRIGGER WARNING** **Infant Death** Bryan POV "Promise me you'll take care of her? She's never lived in this realm without me, you know. Well, atleast not that she's fully remembered yet. Just promise me that when I'm gone, you'll take care of her?" The Queen Regent turned to me and asked. I gave her a nod, which she returned before heading out the door with Isaiah on her heels. I wasn't sure what had upset my little witch wife until Sophia mentioned that she had never lived on this earth without her mother. But now she would have to, though I suppose that this was her punishment for going to the extremes she had in an effort to keep her mother with her. I locked the door after I watched them pull into the yard to go around the truck and down the driveway, then turned to find Josie. Luckily, the bond between the two of us was stronger than it was before we went to my sister's packlands, so I just followed it down the hallway. At first I thought that she'd gone down to the b
Bryan POV The rest of the weekend flew by with the two of us thoroughly enjoying our alone time for the most part. We had watched my niece one evening, and Josie had led us in baking and decorating cookies. Her brother and sister in law had come early the morning we left to pick up their new prisoner. When Josie asked her sister in law to show us what Carter did to her, a sad grimace crossed her face before she reluctantly agreed. She had all of us grab each other's hands before she pulled the memory from my little witch mate. As I watched her memory of that night, I felt her fear and her terror along with it. When she finally released us from the memory, Andu & I snapped, allowing us to see nothing but red. As Carter was released from his cell into the custody of the Witches, no sleep spell was necessary by the time Josie was able to calm Andu & I enough for Dad to pull me off of him. I looked down at him once my head cleared, and he was barely recognizable, just as she had been af
Josie After dinner we retreated back to the sanctuary of the cabin. I got out of the sleigh and unhooked Andu from it, but as I went to hand him Bryan's clothes he nudged my hand that had been bleeding all evening for me to open it. When I did, he licked it several times, the feeling sending electric tingles deep into my body, all the way to my bones. I felt almost high from the feeling of euphoria spreading through my body from his tongue. I stumbled backwards, dropping his clothes to the ground as I caught myself on the sleigh with my free hand. I was attempting to collect myself as Bryan shifted back almost instantly to ensure I was OK. But, as I watched him stand up, stark naked, the high returned, sending the tingles that had been invading every cell in my body straight to my core. I sucked my bottom lip in involuntarily, as I stared at his muscularly toned body. I had never needed anything so badly in my life. "Hey, you alright?" He asked me as he walked towards me. I coul
Bryan I let her think she was surprising me with the information about the Alpha, because the look on her face when she said it was just too adorable, like she was trying to surprise me. I also didn't want her to know I had listened in on a private conversation of hers. Then she just started rambling, honestly I think she was talking to herself more than the rest of us as she went on about Marisol's cancer and her cheating on Mateo with his mentor. I could see the wheels turning in her mind as it all started making sense to her, so I just let her continue on rambling. My parents and sister were pretty shocked by the things she revealed, but I was just in awe of her. When she got up to go to the restroom everyone began looking to me, as if I was the ancient witch soul with all the answers. "So, your new bride and your newest Alpha? How are feeling about that?" My sister quipped curiously, knowing how territorial I can be. "It was a long time ago. He has his mate and she's moved on
Josie The entire packhouse stopped and stared. I knew it was because they were shocked to see their Alpha Prince with a human girl, but I didn't care. They would have stared regardless of whether I had my power or not. Supernaturals always do. So I lifted my head as though I was the most powerful supernatural being in the world and smiled because I knew that I was. Bryan grabbed my hand as if he thought that knowing I was with him would stop them from staring. I let him, but I knew better. Between my best-selling book and the fact that I appeared human, they were going to stare regardless. So let them stare. This was the first time I'd been around this many werewolves in several lifetimes, probably since the very first one that I could remember, the one I was currently getting glimpses of in my dreams. The werewolves didn't know how powerful I truly was because none of them had ever been around me before, nor had their ancestors, at least not as the powerful witch qu
Bryan This morning was a complete dream come true. I suppose sleeping next eachother had made her want to see if those past life dreams were a fluke or not. Honestly I had been wondering the same, but when she started kissing on my chest this morning, I knew that feeling her body against mine would be just as pleasurable as it had been in those dreams. She was like a goddess underneath me, and I couldn't get enough. The noises she made, the way her silky smooth skin felt against mine, the way she tasted, it was all even more than I had hoped it would be. She was incredible and it all felt as like a dream. As I pulled the sleigh out of the basement of the cabin I couldn't help but to feel an incredible amount of anxiety as though I were waiting for the other shoe to drop. How long would it be before she was pushing me away again, or she decided she regretted what had transpired between us this morning. Honestly I wasn't sure I could take her pulling away from me now. I needed her as
