Don't forget to leave a review. I know you're probably lazy and thinking, "But why should I leave a review?" Well, let me tell you why: I'm a poor author, and those reviews help us out a bunch! But of course, only the most AMAZING of readers leave them. Those kind-hearted wonderful souls <3 They make my day...no, my entire year!
Wesley I look down at Lily as she tries to focus on doing the dishes, but she doesn’t give me the time of her day. She is trying her hardest to ignore me, and I don’t know why. I poke her shoulder. “You’re mad at me.” Lily pauses what she is doing and narrows her beautiful eyes. Man, she’s pretty, even when she is looking like she might want to kill me. I never expected that when I met her. She was just cute and shy and a little bit of an airhead, but now? Now I’ve learned that there is a fire to this little rogue, and my cock likes it. A lot. Like, sure, Lily can be annoying sometimes. Her glittery stickers and happy-go-lucky attitude used to piss me off. But that was before I got to know her. Before I learned how kind she is underneath her dishonesty. She lies a lot, but it’s to protect her heart. I understand that now, and even though it’s a flaw of hers, I’m not bothered. I’m too in love with Lily to care. I kid you not. I’m utterly fucking smitten by her clumsiness and how
Lily The atmosphere is electric as I bounce towards the garden, my arms tight with the weight of the cake in my hands. There’s a mass of whispers and anticipation from the Luan pack gathered outside Wesley’s estate. A hush falls over them when I step out into the sunlight, carefully placing the cake on the center pedestal with a smirk on my face. “Are you ready?” I ask the entire pack. My rogue friends are the first to shout, “Yeah!” but Wesley’s pack soon follows with cheers and whistles of their own. They are all excited to know the gender of our baby. Smiling, I turn around to face Wesley. He is leaning against one of the pedestals in his garden, eyeing me with a hard-to-read expression. It confuses me. He was so happy earlier, but ever since his mysterious phone call, he has been...gloomy? “Are you okay?” I ask. To my relief, Wesley offers me a small smile. “Yeah, sorry… I’m just a bit thoughtful.” “About what?” “We can talk about that later,” he says and stands to his full
LilyI’m sitting on Wesley’s bed as he paces the room with his fingers in his dark hair. I can’t imagine what is going through his head. His ex-wife and first mate are back from the dead, and I think it’s finally starting to dawn on him.Is he going to pick her instead of me?I don’t dare to ask him that question. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget it, but Wesley is still an intimidating and powerful Alpha. His whole body is built like a weapon, and now that he is stressed, I know better than to voice my thoughts. Upsetting him right now wouldn’t be a great idea. What if he lashed out at me?No. Wesley wouldn’t hurt me.But the possibility of him yelling at me is definitely there…Eventually, though, I can’t sit quietly. “What is going through that beautiful brain of yours?” I ask softly, hoping the compliment will butter him up.It doesn’t.Wesley looks at me, he isn’t angry, but he isn’t happy either. That teasing light from earlier has been blown out like a candle. Left is a broken ma
Lily It’s on the tip of my tongue to say “yes” to forgetting about Wesley once having rejected me. I’m over it, but right when I open my mouth, I hear Eva yelling, “Wesley! She is coming, and it isn’t going to be pretty!” Wesley sighs and stands up with an irritated expression, towering over me with his beautiful pectoral muscles that almost scrap my nose on his way up. He notices and steps away to give me space. “Who is coming?” “Mirelle!” Eva is panting behind his bedroom door and opens it with zero regard for us maybe being naked. It must mean that she has had a serious vision. “You still share a bond with Mirelle. It’s dead and wrong, but it’s still there! She knows that you’ve chosen Lily as your mate, and she is furious! I can feel her anger from a mile away! Mirelle is going to hurt Lily and your baby!” Wesley draws in a sharp breath and glances down at me, eyes filled with concern. I can see the cogwheels turning in his head. “What should we do?” he asks, facing his grandma
WesleyI’m moving through the courtyard but can’t smell Mirelle in the air. But what I do smell is my Gamma. I can hear him talking and spot him standing by the gate.“Why the hell are you shaking?” Lucas growls. He is towering above one of Lily’s friends. Tess, I think? It’s the shy little one with scars all over her face. She looks like a munchkin beside my rude and no-filter-honest Gamma.“Do you need to pee or something?”Tess shakes her head, looking like she might cry from having Lucas glaring down at her. The thing with Lucas, though, is that he expects people to speak up. He doesn’t have patience for shy people and takes a step closer to the poor girl.“Well?!” He repeats. “Why aren’t you talking? Are you scared of me or something?” he snarls.Tess jumps half a mile at his tone, and I sigh. “Lucas, just let her be. If Tess doesn’t want to talk, then she doesn’t want to talk.”Lucas’ nostrils flare like those belonging to an angry bull. He is the moodiest werewolf in the pack,
WesleyMirelle’s eyes lock on Lily. I growl a warning at her, but it’s already too late.And my hybrid ex of wife is fast, too fast.Mirelle jumps at Lily, claws outstretched, and teeth bared. Lily sees her and shape-shifts into a wolf, yowling in pain when Mirelle’s teeth dig into her shoulder. Black magic surrounds them, and I growl while desperately trying to free myself from the dark tendrils keeping me stuck in place.“Poor little pregnant werewolf. Have you come to die? Is life too hard living?” Mirelle taunts. She has changed back into her human form, naked in the moonlight as she presses her foot down onto Lily’s stomach.Dark magic explodes, and Lily screams as she is forcefully transformed back into a human. Her cries are filled with agony. I want to save her, but I can’t make my body move. The tendrils are holding me back, digging into my fur as Mirelle bends down to smirk into Lily’s face.“Such a weakling... I bet your child is weak too,” she whispers with her dark hair f
Lily “Is he going to be alright?” I ask Eva in a worried tone. Wesley passed out after the battle and is lying motionless on the ground while slightly shivering. “He will be just fine,” Eva assures me and taps my shoulder with a sad look on her face. “Lucas, on the other hand, can’t be saved,” her voice is hushed as if she doesn’t want anyone to hear her, and I can understand why. Juanita filled me in on what happened on the battlefield. Tess found out Lucas was her mate, and even though he was rude and brutish toward her, he saved her on the battlefield. He fought off some hybrids Tess couldn’t handle and then decided to bring her to the mansion since she isn’t the most talented fighter. But that’s when things went south. Mirelle’s hybrids jumped on Lucas, and his wounds are severe from the battle. The pack doctor and some nurses are picking him up on a stretcher, but I doubt he will make it. The hybrids ripped out his eyes, and his skin is burnt from dark flames and black magic.
Tess The scariest thing on this planet is male werewolves. Why? Because they are all huge and filled with testosterone, it’s in their nature to be aggressive. Don’t believe me? Well, lucky for you, I have a story to prove just how terrible male werewolves can be. When I was five years old, Alpha Warrick of the Gilded Pack murdered my parents. He didn’t have a good reason to do it. The man was just bored, so he set our house on fire and let my parents burn to death despite being loyal servants of his. They had never done anything wrong. Despite this, Warrick set our house on fire. I was the only one who made it out alive, but the price was grave: my skin is scarred, and I no longer have a pack since I decided to become a rogue was better than staying with an insane Alpha. I’ve also stayed away from male werewolves ever since. I fear them above everything else to the point I believed my mate would end up being a human. But...I was wrong. My eyes travel to the bed in front of me, a
