AIDEN'S POVMorning sun is pouring in through the window of my office as I look at the trade agreement papers for the third time. Each line must be perfect - this is not just pack business, but my opportunity to impress Haylee."Two hours until meeting, Alpha," Marcus says, standing in the doorway. “Team is prepped when you are.”I nod without looking up. "And the other matter?""All is in order as was requested." His voice drops. “But I do think it’s still risky.”“There are some risks that are worth taking,” I argue and then meet his look of concern.Marcus shifts uncomfortably. "Carters won't appreciate it. If he suspects you're—"“I’m not trying to undermine him,” I cut in, and we both know that’s not really true. “Haylee and me, we have our thing, okay?“Her fiancé might prefer it not be commented upon.” Marcus crosses his arms. "Be careful. We don't have the numbers for another war with Silver Moon Pack.”I get up, adjusting my tie. “I wouldn’t have rebuilt this pack from nothin

HAYLEE’S POV“Congratulations, Luna, You’re three weeks pregnant.” The doctor said and I felt my heart stop for a moment as tears of joy welled up in my eyes.Pregnant? I’m pregnant! I really am pregnant!My excitement knew no bounds as I felt a sensation in my guts, my stomach muscles contracted with a delightful tingling sensation.“I—” I paused to catch my breath, my fingertips trembling as I clutched the test results in my hands, “I’m pregnant?” I asked again to be sure I’m not just hearing things.“Yes, Luna.” The pack doctor responded and that warm delight spread through my stomach, engulfing me in its fuzzy feeling as the pleasurable quiver ran through me.I still couldn’t believe it. It’s been three years since I got married to Alpha Aiden Fenrir of the Shadow pack, one of the strongest packs.Three years since I became Luna of a pack that was once strange to me. I touched my stomach as a smile crept up my lips and I felt a bottomless peace within me.“Thank you, Doctor.” I sa

HAYLEE'S POVHis words ‘barren’ in my head roll around like it’s my death sentence. Each word slices more deeply than any sword could ever. I freeze and my hand flies to my stomach where our baby—my only baby—grows, unaware of what its father is doing.“You can’t be serious,” I whisper on a shaky breath. "Three years, Aiden. Three long years.”Aiden laughs, yanking his pants on nonchalantly. “And what have those three years got me? An empty nursery, and a wife who can’t even keep her most basic promise.”"Basic duty?" The words are bitter in my mind and poison on my tongue. "Is that all I am to you? A breeding machine?""Among other things." He shrugs, his gaze cutting to Arielle who is still sitting on our bed—my bed—in nothing but the sheets around her pale, naked body.My lady in waiting smirks as the victory shines in her eyes. “Alpha Aiden deserves a Luna that can bear him heirs Luna Haylee. Someone like me.""You?" I laugh, though it rings hollow even in my ears. “The woman who t

HAYLEE'S POV"Help!" I croak weakly, another bolt of pain shooting up through my stomach. My legs buckle from beneath me and I fall to the ground, arms wrapped around my stomach. "Please, not my baby."I fumble and tremble to grab my phone, needing to phone someone — anyone — who can give me a hand. But who? The pack doctor communicates directly to Aiden. My lady in waiting is naked in my bed with my husband right now. I have no allies here.There’s a rap on the door that startles me. "Luna Haylee? I mean... Miss Haylee? I'm here to make sure you're packing."I know whose voice that is—Mia, one of the younger pack who sometimes works in the house. Naïve, sweet, and completely loyal to the Alpha.I’m all right,” I shout, my voice steadier than I am. ” Tell Alpha Aiden I’ll be gone in the hour as commanded."Are you sure you're okay? You sound—""I said I'm fine!" I snap, wishing I weren’t so rough. "Please, just go."Silence, and then the padding of footsteps away. I let out a sigh of r

HAYLEE’S POV.FIVE YEARS LATER.It’s been five years since my separation with Aiden and although the first few months haven’t been easy with my pregnancy and duties as Pack Luna, I pushed myself and worked hard to balance both.My hard work paid off because the moon goddess blessed me with two beautiful boys and not just that, my pack, the Ragnar Pack, was more successful than ever.I’d made sure to follow up on the Shadow Pack, and that was how I got to know of their misfortune. I sighed as I recounted all that happened in five years.The Alpha of the Shadow pack, Aiden Fenrir, hadn’t been able to keep up with his share of the monthly challenges and being the Luna of the pack that stands on top, I had no choice but to strip him of his position as alpha.Aiden has been trying over the past ten months to get a meeting with me and after thorough consideration and the elder’s contribution, I decided to grant him the opportunity to plead his case.How will he react when he sees that I’m th

AIDEN’S POV“GET YOUR HANDS OFF OUR MOMMY!” The identical twins right in front of me said before one of them kneed me really hard.My jaw dropped as my mouth hung open but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything because I was too stunned, too taken aback.“Are you okay, mommy?” They asked and I watched as they both turned towards her to make sure that she was fine, Haylee flashed them a smile and nodded.“Mommy is fine,” she assured them, stroking their heads and not taking her eyes off me for a second. My heart ached, I felt like I’d been stabbed really hard in my chest.The misery of losing her still haunted me and I felt the permanent sorrow that I’d learned to live with begin to weigh me down.Touching her had ignited something in me and I felt as though a fire had been stoked in my heart. I have never felt so lonely, so heartbroken and also so shocked in my entire life.Haylee is the Luna of the Ragnar pack, she is Haylee Wolf and not just that, there a

HAYLEE'S POVI sense Xavier before I even see him. He sweeps into the hallway like a tidal wave, imposing and fierce. Relief washes over me as Aiden solidifies and a sound escapes from Xavier’s voice."STEP AWAY FROM HER!" “HEAAUGH!” shouts Xavier, and his voice reverberates in the enclosed space of the corridor.My heartbeat drums in my ribcage and Aiden slowly twists his body to glance at Xavier. Their tension hangs in the air, heavy enough to slice through with a knife. I can almost see their wolves glaring down the other, looking to snap at any given opportunity.“This is not your business,” Aiden mutters tensely again, his jaw set in a line.Xavier laughs and it’s a cold, hollow sound as he steps closer, eyes lit with a dangerous amber. All of Haylee worries him, he says, his voice dropping to low, menacing growl. "Now, I won't repeat myself. Step. Away."I see their auras collide, no one willing to give way. The tension is now so thick you can cut it with a knife, and I can feel

AIDEN'S POVI walk the narrow walls of the guest rooms while my wolf bristles under my skin. I can still smell her in my nose—honey and wildflowers with an undertone of something that was undoubtedly Haylee. Five years and I still go wild over her scent.And five years later, she’s engaged to another man. A rival Alpha, no less."Damn it!" I punch the wall, relishing the momentary searing pain that courses up my arm. The guards slumping outside my door shuffle at the noise, but I could care less what they think.Those boys are mine. I feel it in my bones, in my blood. The way they stared at me with them eyes — mama’s eyes, there’s no doubt about it. But Haylee stoofer face and lied to my face saying that Xavier was their father.There comes a knock on the door as I think."Come on in," I answer, sitting up a little. I am not going to allow anyone the satisfaction of me being broken, even for a moment.Just as running low on food, a young wolf – little more than a teenager – enters the

XAVIER'S POVHe is on her skin when she walks through our bedroom door. Aiden's scent lingers on her subtly, as invisible a stamp as it is distinct. The wolf wakes under my flesh, not snarling but with a melt of worry and the instinct, again, to Protect."How was the meeting?" I say, my voice relaxed as I undo my tie.Haylee dumps the contents of the briefcase by the dresser, fatigue visible in the tilt of her shoulders. "Productive. Frustrating. The usual.""Did he behave himself?" I step up behind her, hands on her shoulders, inhaling her from a little closer. Yes, there it is — the woodsy tang that is his.She stiffens slightly at my contact. "As well as can be expected.""Meaning?" I press my fingers into the tense muscles at the back of her neck.Which means he crossed the line.” She walks away from the bed, heads out to the bathroom. "But I handled it."I do as I’m told, propping up against the doorframe while she washes her face. "What boundaries exactly?"She meets my gaze in
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 23
AIDEN'S POVI keep my eyes on Haylee across the conference room; her back is straight as steel, and she won’t meet my eyes. She’s perfected the art of ignoring me as if I don’t even have a pulse; directing whatever questions she has to my Beta or to the papers laid before us as if I’m not even there.“The southeast will need more patrols,” she says, tapping the map with a manicured nail. "Our scouts have picked up increased wind and rogue activity in the area.I can take my warriors," I lean in. "We're doing all our patrols up in the north. It's a simple extension."Haylee’s eyes meet mine for only a brief moment and then they shoot away. "That won't be necessary. Xavier’s boys are handling it.”My blood boils with a rush of anger when I hear his name but I conceal it well behind an emotionless mask."With respect," I say, trying to sound neutral, "but we've had _way_ more rogue incursions than my pack. The landscape on the southeast border looks like our territory.”“It’s not experie

HAYLEE'S POV“You were talking to him,” Xavier says, his tone deceptively light as he uncorks the bottle of wine sitting in our cabin.I take off my hiking boots, not meeting his eyes. Near the lookout we were standing when he approached me. "I barely managed to push him off the mountain."Xavier chuckles without amusement while pouring two glasses of merlot. “Oh, I would like to see that in it.”Tonight the cabin seems cramped, almost claustrophobic, despite the luxury. We are suffocated by the burden of the things left unsaid.“He is persistent,” Xavier adds, looking at me over the rim if his glass.“You know he was always stubborn,” I blurt out before I can stop myself.Xavier gives a half-squint of his eyes. "Indeed, you more than most would know that."I take a long sip of wine. That was another lifetime, Xavier. It hardly matters now.""Doesn't it?" He steps in a little closer, and his fingers follow the chain at my neck to the pendant underneath the thin fabric of my shirt. "Yo

AIDEN'S POVThe morning sun is pouring in the window of the lodge as I sip coffee in the great room. The close-of-the-weekend gathering persists in a forced cheeriness that is annoying. Alphas and their Lunas, pace around getting ready for today's planned hike on the trails of the mountain—it's a pack tradition, supposedly to promote unity and pack-strength.I see her as soon as she walks in. Haylee. Her hair is pulled back in a no-nonsense ponytail, and she is dressed in practical hiking clothes that cling to her athletic frame. She is beautiful, stunningly so. The way she always has.Xavier right behind her, hand possessively at her lower back, they fall into line for the breakfast buffet. He leans down to whisper something in her ear that makes her laugh, and something rips through me like acid."As you coming on the hike Fenrir?" Alpha Rodriguez stands next to me, giant plate of food in his hand.I pull my eyes away from the couple. "Wouldn't miss it.""Good man." He claps my shou

HAYLEE'S POVI collapse another dress into my overnight bag, my motion mechanical. The weekend getaway is lurking in front of me like an exam I’m unprepared to take. Three days with just Xavier at the Blue Ridge Lodge—three days pretending that I am not disturbed after seeing Aiden."Taking the blue one? that is Good choice. You look stunning in it."I smile, but it does not come all the way up to my eyes. "For the formal dinner, yes. Is Marissa ready with the twins?”"Everything's arranged." He moves up behind me, his hands resting on my shoulders. "They'll be fine. This is about us, remember?"His fingers knead the tight muscles in the back of my neck, and I force myself not to step away. There’s nothing wrong with his touch — it’s soft, affectionate — but he’s starting to scare me. Then why does it make me want to run?---The twins’ room is a riot of toys, both boys lying on the floor with their wooden wolves. Kael leads a first battle scene while Lior positions his wolves as thou

XAVIER'S POVI observe Haylee as she steps out of the shrubs, stiff backed and expressionless. Aesthetically about control, as pure control as we’ve seen in years. But I know better. Since we have been together for five years, I can decipher the nuances — the small line between her brows and the tightness in her shoulders. Aiden has gotten to her more than she’d like to concede."How did it go?" I remain calm in my voice as she gets up onto the steps to our porch.Haylee looks me in the eye, but there’s a wariness in her eyes. "It's done. I told him to stay away.""And will he?" I lean on the railing, looking at her face.She groans, ruffling her hair with her hand. "He's stubborn. But I made myself clear."I take a confident step forward and circle her in my arms. She pauses for half a second and then relaxes against me. That brief pause cuts me to the heart.“You seem tense,” I say, into her hair. “Let me make dinner like this today. You can rest.""That's not necessary—""I insist.
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 18
HAYLEE'S POVThe woods are a blur as I race back to the compound, replaying that encounter at the springs in my mind. The near-kiss with Aiden. The pull of the mate bond. The weakness I'd shown. Anger floods through every muscle on my body with every step—anger at myself for almost giving up rational want for biological need.I stop at the end of the clearing to regroup myself before entering Xavier's domain. _My_ territory now. Five years of establishing a new life, of molding walls around my heart, and Aiden's reckless actions could wreck it all in a few blow of his two-fisted wrecking ball.Not this time.Xavier is waiting for me on the front porch of our house, the warm light just behind him. He stands relaxed, but I can see it in his shoulders."It's later than I thought you would return," he says, with just the slightest edge to his voice beneath the warmth of it.I meet his gaze evenly. The eastern border took more time than I thought it would. Pack of scoundrels came through la
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 17
AIDEN'S POVThere are coils of seedy tendrils of steam emanating from the holy hot waters and they skulk through the dusk like gasps from ancestors. I glance at my watch for the fourth time in fifteen minutes. She's late. Maybe she’s not coming at all.The mere thought sends an unpleasant wince down my chest. Five years of being apart, five years of wondering, of wishing, of regretting, and now that I have found her again I don’t want to frighten her. One slip up and I might lose her forever with my children.A branch breaks in the distance, and my wolf ears automatically zero in on it. Seconds later, I’m enveloped in her scent now; lavender and rain with an essence that is so Haylee beneath it. My body reacts and my heart races when she breaks through the trees.She stops at the clearing’s edge, wariness in every line of her form. The Luna finery is gone, replaced with plain jeans and a forest green sweater that turns her eyes more gold than brown. Her hair is down around her shoulder
