Alpha Hunter's pov
"Alpha..." Amalthea attempted rising from her bed but I waved her back down. "Don't move an inch, you need your rest." I told her as I walked to her side, my eyes trailed down her body as I assessed her and wondered how possible it was that her baby didn't die. "I heard what happened and trust me, I won't rest till I find out who did this to you." I assured her and her eyes trailed Clara and held. They seemed to be communicating with their eyes and I didn't like it, something felt wrong here. I just couldn't trust Clara to follow the plan and not let her feelings get in the way. "Thank you Alpha," Amalthea eventually said and I nodded slowly. "How are you feeling?" I asked as I stared at her pale face. "A little better, I'm still weak though." She muttered and I nodded slowly. "The doctor said everything is alright with the baby?" I feigned worry. "Thankfully, yes."Amalthea's POV I felt tiny nips at my skin and I groaned as I turned around only to feel open mouthed tiny kisses peppered along my abdomen all the way up to the valley between my breasts.A mouth covered over my pert nipple and I moaned as my eyes shot open."Nic?" I called out to him and his eyes met mine as he nudged himself between my legs. I was hot, wet and ready for him as he worked on my body.He paid keen attention to every single part of my body, making sure to leave his mark wherever his lips went and I could tell I was a mess of hickeys by the time I came down from my relief.I breathed heavily as he laid beside me, one of his hands still massaging my breasts and I grinned at him."What was that for? You aren't even satisfied." I pointed out as his hard cock brushed against me."This morning is all about you, my needs can wait." He muttered as he placed a small kiss onto my shoulders."I could get used to waking up like this each morning," I chuckled and he joined me. We
Amalthea's POV "Was it just me or the vibe was stifling in my room?" I asked Nic as we walked through the forest."I don't get your meaning," Nic muttered without turning to me and I stared at his side profile."What happened between you and Mikayla while I was gone?" I asked and a muscle ticked in Nic's jaw."Nothing," he muttered and I stopped in my tracks and crossed my arms as I watched Nic keep walking in front of me. I remained there until he noticed I wasn't beside him and turned back to me with the quirk of his brow."Are you going to tell me what happened or are you going to lie to my face?" I asked as I glared at him and he sighed."I don't want to talk about it," he told me."Why? It clearly affected your mood and I would like to know about it." I shrugged as I walked towards him."Some things are better left-" Nic began."No Nic, don't go all proverbial on me. Something happened that clearly shifted the energy between you two and I deserve to know about it," I cut him off
Amalthea's POV "What am I meant to find out?" Nic asked me after we listened to Jade's receding footsteps."It's nothing, really." I muttered as Nic closed the door behind him and walked closer to me."It didn't sound like anything and you certainly seemed like you didn't want me to hear whatever it was," Nic pointed out and I sighed."Just how much did you hear?" I asked."Honesty?" He inquired."Always," I nodded as my heart beat loudly in my chest."That was the only thing I heard as I approached the door." He informed me and I let out a sigh of relief."So are you going to tell me what that was about?" Nic probed and I scrambled my mind for a reasonable excuse."We were just talking about my stay in the werebear pack and Jade knew how upset you would be if you heard about it," I lied through my teeth and although I felt bad for lying to Nic, I felt like it was for the best until I was ready to tell him I was with child."I was going to ask you about that," Nic's expression turned
Jade's POV "Why didn't you tell me Callum found his mate and she is a werebear?" I asked as I barged into Thea's room.Thea stopped brushing her hair and stared at me guiltily from her dresser mirror before she turned to me."I wasn't exactly sure how you would take it. I wanted to tell you, I really did but Nic thought it would be better if you heard it from Callum," Thea explained as she rose from her chair and approached me cautiously."You should have given me a heads-up, I was blindsided and I didn't know how to react when I saw him." My lips turned downwards but some of my anger etched away as I knew she was probably right. I might have blown off before I even saw Callum had she told me."Do you know anything about her?" I inquired and Thea shook her head."Other than the fact that she's a werebear, I don't know anything about her." Thea informed me and I sighed."How could Callum mark her?" I asked as I paced around the room and massaged my temples."I was as shocked as you ar
Callum's POV "And if your sister doesn't approve of me?" Renee asked as we approached the pack house."She has to," I retorted as I clenched my jaw. I wasn't exactly sure how Jade would take the news but I didn't care, I had my mate and every other person would have to deal with it."Renee," I called out to my mate as I held her hands and turned her to face me as we came to a stop in front of the pack house."This is different, we are a rare match-" I began."Go to the point Call, you are making me nervous." She squeaked out and I let out a sigh as I pulled her closer to me."What I'm trying to say is we won't be immediately accepted and you most likely won't be welcomed by most pack members but that's all right because eventually they'll see what I see in you and they'll love you." I explained and she nodded slowly as understanding shimmered in her eyes."I know they won't welcome me with open arms Callum, I would be suspicious if they did and I'm not accepting them so easily as wel
Amalthea's POV My heart beat loudly as we finally reached the ravenclaw pack house. I could see a few pack members staring at me from the windows and I couldn't help but imagine what they were thinking."Are you alright?" Nic drew me out of my thoughts and I turned to him with a small smile."I'm fine," I reassured him but his eyes assessed my face and I knew he didn't believe me.The door suddenly burst open and a heavily pregnant Jade wobbled out with a determined expression on her face."Just wait till I get my hands on you," she growled and my lips twitched as she waddled towards me."Don't worry I'll protect you," Nic assured me and I snorted as Jade finally reached me and wrapped her arms around me as tightly as her protruding belly would allow."I hate you so much, I hate you." She kept on whispering into my ear and tears stung the back of my eyes.How could I have been so selfish to leave without thinking how it would have affected Jade and all the other people who cared abou
