Since her father passed away ten years ago, Lexi Mitchell has lived a simple life with her mother. As Lexi's 18th birthday approached, her mother told her that she planned to remarry. Lexi readily supported her decision and was happy for her mother, Jessica. Weeks later, Lexi moved to a new pack with her mother, and besides her stepfather, Lexi met two familiar faces, Nolan and Nathaniel. The two bad-boy brothers who used to bully Lexi in school turned out to be her stepbrothers.

Conversion bites only enhance you and make you stronger,” she snorted and I muttered an unbelieving “Really?”“Would I lie to you,” she asked.“No, you wouldn't. How are my twins,” I asked her.“They're growing well and have increased their strength as well. It's no wonder why Darius Cartwright is curious if your daughter is his mate as they would be a great match,” she said and I rolled my eyes as I listened to the group discuss what they wanted for Nolan’s ransom.“Is Nolan alright,” I asked
Lexi’s povFinished with putting our clothes away I glanced at Nolan and said, “Let's go run our wolves.”“What about Nathan and your son,” he asked me sullenly.Giving him a glare I explained that I already informed him that I intended to spend the day and evening with him and him alone.“Wow, well alright then, but when we shift be sure to carry your clothes in case we need them,” he said, sparking my curiosity.“Wherever are you going to take me,” I asked teasingly.I sauntered up before him and rubbed my chest against him.“I thought I'd take you to the flower fields and waterfall,” he whispered huskily and gazed into my eyes.“Hmmm sounds like fun. Maybe we can go skinny dipping?”His mouth curled up as his eyes narrowed down at me.“So tempting,” he growled, then kissed me.Wrapping my arms around his slender waist I kissed him back hoping that he felt how much he truly meant to me.After we separated I saw that his eyes were closed and felt his heart racing like mine.“Let me m
Lexi’s povWhen our food arrived Kieran was trying to reach out for my plate so I put some eggs down for him.“Is it normal for him to grow so quickly?”I asked Nathan in concern.“I have no idea but we can take him to Doctor Monroe and get him a check-up and find out,” he suggested and I nodded.I noticed that Nolan was watching us and looking down at his plate.“Hey Nolan I want to run with you tonight since we are built similarly and Nathan can stay at the house or run with Kieran,” I suggested and saw his eyes light up and the corner of his mouth turn upward.“Mace says that he believes that you are closer to Nathan than him,” Nova whimpered in my mind.Shaking my head slightly I peered over at Nolan and looked at him longingly.Mouthing I love you I grinned seeing his face brighten.He mouthed it back then said, “I would love to run with you, by ourselves.”Nathan was watching us both and snickering to himself.“I don't want to burst your bubble bro but you need to show me your o
Lexi’s pov“He's so old,” I balked as Nathan chuckled.“You know, Lexi, lots of women consider Darius Cartwright a panty dropper. You have to admit that he is an attractive bloodsucker,” he offered and I rolled my eyes and said, “Hell no! I'm not going to admit that. Doesn't a vampire have to taste the person's blood to know if they are their mate? That's what Lenny told me!”Nathan raised his hands in a questioning manner and said, “I have no clue, Lexi.”Pressing my hands to my swelling abdomen I sighed to my growing pup.“You don't want to have a hundred-plus-year-old mate. You will break his hip on your wedding night,” I muttered, then groaned from my dirty thoughts.Nathan was eyeing me with laughter shining in his eyes.“How does Nolan feel about it? It is his pup in question,” I inquired.Shrugging he said, “I haven't any idea but he will probably be alright with it since Darius is a council member of high standing and is the descendant of one of the original members.”Exhaling
Lexi’s povBiting my lower lip I nodded and glanced over at both of my mates.They were behaving oddly and encouraging me to go with Darius.“What is going on Nova? I feel like I'm being kept out of the loop,” I muttered sourly.My wolf huffed and told me to just follow Darius.He went straight into Jonathan's office and closed the door behind me for privacy.“Have a seat, please,” he asserted and I sat before him clasping my hands in apprehension.“As I mentioned previously, Nathan was the one who was intended to become the Alpha of the hybrids but as you know Nolan created his pack of hybrids…a very diverse group I must say, but anyhow…” I interrupted him and growled, “I want to know about Kieran and the council's plan for him!”Darius gave me an annoyed glare and crossed his arms as he leaned back in the office chair.“Miss, if you would allow me to continue I will get to that subject momentarily,” he snapped.Sitting back I gestured for him to continue by rolling my hand by the w
Lexi’s povSigning the very last document the attorney smiled at me and slid over a bank book.“Your account balance and account number are all inside, princess,” he said firmly and I thumbed through the small book. My eyes grew large when they landed on the balance.“Mom, come see this,” I huffed in disbelief.Showing her the amount I shook my head remembering how we had struggled to survive after his fake death.She frowned, rubbed my shoulder, and sighed.“He was a frugal man and hid his actual wealth,” she said softly.“The council hopes that it will go to caring for the hybrid pack that you are Luna for, “ the attorney said and I eyed him strangely.“I thought you were a human,” I blurted out.Shaking his head he cleared his throat and offered his hand.“I'm the newly appointed king of the Isle of Howell and happen to be an attorney as well,” he informed me. I smiled sensing his powerful wolf with his handshake.“Don't your people need funds?”“No, this is just your late father's
Lexi’s povHearing a cell phone ringing I cracked my eyes open and turned to see Nolan rubbing his eyes.“I think that's your phone,” he yawned and I took a moment to get my brain to react.“It's in my pants but I don't know what you did with them,’’ I mumbled softly, making him chuckle.“I tossed them over in the corner but the rings are coming from the floor over there,” he snickered and I scooted off of him to go search.Feeling Nolan's eyes following my nakedness I searched the floor for the cell phone I could hear continuing to ring. Finally finding it underneath the dresser I looked at it seeing Nathan calling.“Hey Nathan,” I answered in a tired tone.“Get your asses back home our handfasting is today because Darius is leaving tonight and he said the council is demanding that we are wed ASAP. Also, they have requested that our son be brought with him since he's running around as his little Lycan. He's such a cute little guy,” he said sullenly.Glancing over at Nolan I frowned.
Lexi’s povGetting situated in the passenger seat of Nolan’s vehicle I glanced over at him.“Want to tell me what happened,” I asked him as he started the engine.He chuckled once and glanced at me.“I took the hybrids that Ríoghán was collecting. Thanks to Lennox's added memories I knew exactly what I needed to do to accomplish it,” he said gleefully.“What happened with his mate and daughter?”His jaw tensed as he sped up.“She was sent back to her section to rule as a kingless queen with her daughter,” he answered me.Nodding, I told him that was merciful for him to do.Snickering, he shrugged and said, “I had to take the hearts and heads of several of the pack members because they didn't submit as they should have and I could have used a few of them for my guards.”Chewing on the inside of my bottom lip I watched him as an array of emotions crossed his features. When he turned to me I was shocked by what he said.“My Beta is female and I don't want you to become jealous,’’ he asse
Lexi’s pov“You mean the police that came by earlier,” he asked me with a scowl.I shook my head as I dug out my cell phone.Telling him to nevermind I dialed Nathan's number as he left me standing in the foyer.“Lexi,” Nathan answered.“Nolan left with a police officer supposedly to search for your group but I think it's possible that I was misinformed and he has turned into a bloodsucker,’’ I rushed out in concern.“Calm down, Lexi, breathe, and tell me slowly what you're trying to tell me,” he asserted.Explaining everything that occurred with the officers and his father not knowing that they were even there I heard him exhale deeply.“Ríoghán Crinan is known to use compulsion on human resources and could very easily be behind it but since Nolan can't be compelled I wouldn't worry about it if that's the case,” he said firmly.Panicked, I cursed.“Nathaniel, your brother is alive because I gave him Lenny's heart,’’ I blurted sternly and it sounded like he dropped the phone.“Why did
