Jaded Hearts FIFTY-FOUR | LABOR AND DELIVERY
TaylorI was in a deep, peaceful sleep when suddenly, I felt a terrible pain in my belly. Like the worst menstrual cramps in the world, times ten. My first instinct was to panic, but when I felt the warm rush of water flow between my legs and onto the mattress underneath me, I became strangely calm. I pushed myself up and pulled the blanket back, looking down at the soaked bed. Yep, it’s go time. “Matt? Wake up.”He shifted his body a bit but didn’t open his eyes. “Hmm. What’s wrong, baby? Do you need another pillow?”“No, I need you to wake up. The baby’s coming.”“Not yet. She won’t be here for a few more days.” He tried to pull me back to lie down beside him, still oblivious to what was going on. “Matthew! Wake up, now!”Maybe it was the fact that I called him Matthew for the first time or the slap to his bare chest, but his eyes snapped open, and he quickly sat up. “What’s the matter? Are you alright?”“I’m fine, but my water broke, and I’m having contractions.”His eyes went

TaylorMatt and I were lying in bed, and I couldn’t take my eyes off my ring. It really was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, and I was amazed that it was mine. “The way you’ve been staring at your hand for the past three hours tells me that you like the ring?”“You know I do. I couldn’t have picked anything more perfect.”He pulled me onto his chest and ran his fingers through my hair. “Mom is going to be so happy to see you wearing it. She hasn’t seen it since I added the emeralds, so I’m interested to see what she thinks.”“Hmmm.”I was in heaven, listening to his heart beating under my head and feeling our daughter moving around in my belly. Now it was time to move forward and make our family official. “So, I know that I’ve been stalling because of Drew still hanging over our heads, but I think I’ve picked a wedding date.”“Is it tomorrow? Please say that it is!”“Sorry, handsome, but it’s not tomorrow. I was thinking the middle of April. I think the weather would be perfec

Matt“You want me to do what?”“We just need to know if you’d be willing to convince a certain shewolf into working with us,” Kade cryptically said. “Right. And why can’t one of you four do it?” Tyson asked. “Uhh …”“Oh, for fucks sake. Tyson, North River pack was once on good terms with us until I refused to marry their Alpha’s daughter, Claudia. Then, a few months ago, I refused to build a couple of hotels for her because she was a bitch to Taylor. They have connections that we may or may not need. We’re not sure yet, but if we do, we’ll need someone who hasn’t pissed her off before to bring her in,” I said. “And by ‘convince’ and ‘bring her in,’ I’m guessing you aren’t suggesting friendly conversation. And obviously, you’re not asking me to kill her, so that only leaves sex. You guys want me to fuck this chick for information and connections. Am I right?”“Not necessarily, but it could come to that. She can be a little frisky,” Xander said with a laugh. “You could have just sai

Kade“Fuck! How do you catch me with that move every time?”“Because I’m better than you are. Once you accept it, your face will thank you.”Tyson and I had been sparring for a while now. It had become our Wednesday morning routine, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t read him. This guy was an incredible fighter, probably one of the best I’d ever seen, and I was determined to kick his ass. Hopefully. He dropped his arms and blew out a breath. “You’re approaching this all wrong. Stop thinking of this like you’re fighting another wolf. Wolves are pack animals; bears are solitary. One-on-one, based on size alone, a bear would destroy a wolf. But when you’re part of a pack, the odds even out.”“I know all that. What’s your point?”“My point is, every Wednesday, you come out here to beat me as your only goal. And you leave disappointed each time. How about you learn from me instead? You’re putting your focus and energy in the wrong place. You’ve got to walk before you can run.”A
Jaded Hearts FIFTY | BED REST
DrewNinety-six days. That’s how long I’ve been laid up in this filth hole, fighting for my life. I don’t know what those Blue Moon fucks did to me, but I haven’t heard from my wolf Killian since I woke up, and without him, I’ve been unable to heal properly. Three months of lying in bed, dealing with the pain of shattered knee caps, third-degree burns, broken bones, deep gashes and punctures, and disgusting infections. But the pain I can deal with; it only lasts for so long. Bones and burns would heal, and gashes would eventually close. Some things, though, would never heal. Not everything could be rectified with time.When the Gamma took that saw and cut off my right arm, I’d never before felt that type of agony. And he watched as I screamed and kicked. He made me weak and took pleasure in it. I would never be able to fight and protect myself again; never be able to hand out punishments to the unworthy, or be a wolf worth fearing. He took everything from me, and I’d return the favo
Jaded Hearts FORTY-NINE | GENESIS
MattThree months later …It took a lot of convincing, but I was finally able to convince Taylor not to call off the baby shower that our moms had worked so hard to plan. Shortly after Drew disappeared, we told her parents what was happening so that they would take precautions. That meant that we also had to tell them that their daughter was now a wolf. When they found out, Robert and Nancy refused to take our calls for weeks, but I think they were more hurt that they were kept in the dark than anything else. Eventually, they came around, and now here we are, about to celebrate the fact that our daughter would be born in less than four weeks. I admit that it was hard to celebrate, but Taylor needed the distraction. We all did. There hadn’t been one sighting of Drew since he escaped, and we had no clue where to find him. We had some of the best trackers in the world, but still came up with nothing. But today, I wanted to see Taylor’s beautiful smile and hear her laugh. I wanted her
Jaded Hearts THIRTY-SEVEN | FORGIVENESS AND GOOD FORTUNE
TaylorThe guys left Tyson in the cells, chained to the wall. Morgan had attempted to talk Kade into at least unchaining him, but he refused. When you have Hades in your possession, you don’t take any chances. Three pack members were assigned to stay down in the basement and keep their eyes on him:

Matt“Oh my god,” I heard Taylor whisper behind me. In my rage, I had forgotten she was there. I spun around and took her face in my hands. She was trembling, and a few tears had slipped down her cheeks. “Why don’t you go find the girls until we’re finished here? Maybe spend some time with your fa

Kade“Did that chick just call you a whore, and me a tramp? What’s her problem?”“I don’t have time for this shit now, Scarlet. Get out.”“You called me here, and now you’re kicking me out? What about—”“OUT! I need to go find her.”I snatched my shirt from the floor and rushed through the halls to
Jaded Hearts THIRTY-TWO | REVELATIONS PT. 2
KadeMatt’s call had me more than a little confused about who my mate really was. It wasn’t a factor of me no longer wanting her; that would never happen. But I did need to find out if she was a bear, and if she’d been keeping that from me. I sent her a text message, and when she didn’t answer, I
