"So, Darrell told me last night that you have two mates," Kate relayed, as she sat on the sofa in the living room. "Yes, Damien and Dayne are identical twins," I smiled as I brought my feet up on the couch. "Their grandfather hired some kind of doctor who ran experiments on them. They're hybrid and Dayne lost the ability to have a mate. It actually formed with his brothers, so whenever Damien found his mate then Dayne would know it too. I got lucky, I think." "So, then everything is good?" Kate asked as she turned toward me. "Yes, surprising it is. It took me a while to tell Damien everything that happened in my past. Back when I thought it was just Damien," I chuckled as I grabbed the glass of water in front of me. "Once, I knew he had a twin and that they would have one mate I thought I would feel overwhelmed, but it's been wonderful. I felt more comfortable when I decided to tell Dayne, I get more comfortable with them by the day. Enough about me, tell me about you," "Well, I do
"For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow! Which nobody can deny!" We sang out as Nanny Suzette brought in a three-layered strawberry cake. My eyes followed the pink treat dashed with strawberries with the words Happy Retirement Gerald written in bright red gel. "Happy retirement Gerald!" I clapped my hands along with the others, surrounded by the older man, my grandfather's Beta, confidant, and friend, as he blew out the candles on his cake. "Thank you all!" Gerald bowed his head as the wrinkles on his face became more defined with a broad smile. I glanced at my twin as he gripped our mate by the hip and memories flooded in. Memories of Beta Gerald carrying around lollipops in his jacket pocket to give my brother and me when we seemed to be in our grandfather's way. "Twin, you're looking a bit sentimental," Dayne commented as he stood beside me, plopping a cake pop off the stick and into his mouth. "I was just thinking about when Gera
“Kate, do you think Ben will be at Samantha and Corey’s wedding tonight?” I asked, sliding the clothes on the rack beside my best friend. “Why?” She raised her brown eyebrow in my direction. “Do you like him?” “I don’t know,” I shrugged my shoulders before focusing back on a red fitted dress in front of me. “I mean he’s new, cute, and funny.” “Well, he doesn’t have a mate, I mean he did at least that’s what people are saying.” She replied turning around to face a similar rack behind us. “You should get that one, it’s cute.” “Okay,” I grabbed the dress and walked to the fitting room. “I still don’t get you, here we are shopping for dresses on your cousin’s wedding day, we should be with her.” She retorted stepping into my dressing room while taking off her tight blue jeans and purple blouse before reaching for the skin-tight pink dress, that I knew would hug her skinny frame. “Yeah well, you know that none of my fa
“Alpha King, are you alright?” Beta Gerald Dixon asked as he met me on the bottom step. “What is my cousin Corey’s new bride’s name?” I questioned, heading toward my office with him in tow. I watched him push back his salt-and-pepper hair eyeing back from wince I came. “Luna Samantha Sinclair, Alpha King,” Gerald answered as I opened the door. “Get her on the phone, I want to talk to her,” I responded coming around my desk and sitting on my big leather chair. “Right away Alpha King,” He bowed before heading out. Why did she not feel me as her mate? I know I’m not mistaken, I can smell her, that scent of vanilla and mint is still driving me crazy. My wolf keeps yelling at me that she is our mate. Did she ingest wolfbane? Did someone try to hurt my mate? I’ll kill them. No, I would have been able to smell it. Does she not want me as her mate? ‘Hunter, help me, why does she not recognize me?’ I asked my wolf. Ugh, mutt, he just wants to be with our
I slammed the door and crawled right back into bed. Why did I even go looking for him? Why did I feel so hurt? Of course, he isn’t my mate how could I be so stupid to think he was telling the truth? “Thyri, it’s not what it looks like.” The man came barging into my room. “I don’t care, whatever your name is, leave me alone!” I screamed as I pulled the blanket over my head. “It’s Damien, my name is Damien Walker.” He said as I felt a dip on the edge of the bed. “And you are Thyri Daniels, my mate, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.” “You need your eyes checked, I don’t care who you are, I don’t have a mate. Stop calling me that, I can’t have a mate. You don’t lack in that department though, I just want to go home.” I sniffled, as tears kept streaming down my face. “You are my mate,” He replied loudly as he ripped the blanket off my body. “Stop saying that, I don’t need my eyes checked either.” “Oh, please, do you think these rol
‘You hurt our mate after she begged us not to cause her pain!’ Hunter growled at me in my mind. ‘I will rip you to shreds, you keep making her cry, you piece of shit, she doesn’t understand that she is our mate yet.’ ‘Yeah, and she never will’ I retorted as I bounced down the stairs. ‘She will, if you would be patient and kind with her, her...’ But I cut him off, I was tired of his idle threats and just wanted to eat and go to bed. I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table when my nanny Suzette brought me my plate of food. “Thank you, Nanny,” I replied, grabbing my fork. “Not for you, idjit, for the Luna Queen,” She smacked me on the back of the head and my once slicked-back black hair was now a mess. “Go, you get yours when she gets hers.” She glared at me. Honestly, this old woman was the only one I trusted and allowed to beat me up. “Kara!” I yelled with a smirk on my face staring at Nanny Suzette. “Bring this plate of food to the Luna Quee
“Damien, Damien, Look I’m sorry,” I followed the amazing scent of lavender and sandalwood to a door. As I opened it repeating myself, I was not ready to see Damien coming out of the shower, with a towel around his waist and a naked woman sitting at the foot of the bed. I couldn’t handle it, the pain in my chest was worse than any pain I endured. My eyes went wide, and I ran down the stairs and out of the front door. As tears streamed down my face, I finally reached the front gate but a huge black wolf stopped me in my tracks growling. I tried to turn direction but it jumped in front of me and growled again, I slipped on the gravel and went down backward, hitting my head as I blacked out. “Thyri, Darling, please be okay.” I heard someone say, but my eyes were heavy. “She’ll be okay Dear,” I heard another voice “Alpha King, the Luna Queen’s vital’s are normal, she is slightly concussed but she will be okay, she has to take it easy. Her body it’s… You need to
When she started panicking about me being the Alpha King, and her becoming the Luna Queen, she started begging me to reject her. I was furious, I had waited thirty-two years for her, and I wasn’t going to reject her. Then Nanny mind-linked me that she was broken, and she thinks she had never been loved, I broke right there, I knew I had to hold her. Hunter howled in my head for our broken mate, what things did she go through to make her this broken? I stayed with her all day while she cried, and refused to eat. That’s all she did, I could feel how she battled with herself, giving in to the mate bond, relaxing in my arms, but when she got too comfortable I could feel a shift and she’d start to cry again. I could do nothing but hold her, I knew she needed it. When she finally fell asleep that night, I kissed her cheek and promised that no one would ever hurt her again, I stayed with her I couldn’t bring myself, to not be here, if she needed me again in the middle of the night or think I
