Regan’s POV After being denied entry to Erik’s private trial, I knew I needed to flee. This could only mean one thing… he’s going to snitch. “Cody, we have to move”. He already had our bags packed. “The girls?”. I had already forgotten about them at the hospital. “Fucking leave ‘em, apparently this place is a haven anyway”. I jump into the back of the SUV and Cody hops into the driver seat. “Step on it”. “And I don’t want to hear ‘I told you so’ from your damn lips Cody”. He had told me that coming to this thing was a bad idea and could implicate me”. Cody just eyes me in the rearview but races down the road. Suddenly there are several unmarked pack cars behind us. “Fucking lose them!”. Cody hits the gas with immense force, throttling me into the seat in front of me. “Put on your damn seat belt Regan, goddess!”. Thinking on my next move, once we make it out of their territory, we’ll have to lay low for a while. There will be a warrant out for me I assume. Where
Emma’s POV Laying in bed, I just stare at the ceiling. Grace wanted to sedate me tonight with tranquilizers but I declined. I needed some time with my thoughts. “Can’t sleep my love? Are you sure you won’t take any medicine?”. I can feel Liam’s concern seep into me. It’s overwhelming. I know he means well. I let my head drift over to meet his eyes. “If I asked to go for a walk in the pack gardens, would you allow it?”. I can feel some pain through the bond but I know he understands. “Liam, love. There will be some things in this life you won’t be able to fix for me, no matter how badly you want to or try to. I just need to breathe with my thoughts and these emotions. I’m just restless and so are the little ones. I would love some fresh air and to stretch my legs is all”. Much to my surprise, he gently cups my cheek and simply nods. “I understand and I know I can be overbearing. I just love you so much. I want so badly to take this pain from you but can’t”. Placi
Ruth’s POV My phone starts ringing, scaring me awake. “Mom? What’s wrong? Ok, we’re coming… yeah”. Ian is already awake watching me. “It’s Emma… Regan attacked her and she managed to kill him but she’s gone into labor. Ian…”, I whimper. He hugs me quickly, “I know baby. I know. Let’s go”. We bump into the other groups racing down to the vehicles. We all group into one vehicle and race to the hospital. Walk/running down the hallway as our mates try to keep us women from running, I look for my brother. Liam looks awful. “Whose blood is that Liam?”. He barely looks up at me from his hands where he’s been resting his face. “Is that her blood Liam?”. I’m starting to feel panicked when mom thankfully comes out. “No, it’s not. It’s mostly Regan’s. He’s dead. Emma killed him when he attacked her. He tried to kidnap her tonight and in the process she went into premature labor. He also punctured one of her lungs. We’re doing everything we can to prevent the labor”.
Michelle’s POV Leo’s eyes glossed over partway through our shower, forcing me to stiffen in anticipation. “Oh shit… Regan attacked Emma last night. She’s in the clear now apparently but I guess it was touch and go for a minute”. I take a minute to admire my mate in all his glory. “See something you like beautiful?”. I run my hands up his torso to his cheeks, “I love you Leo, you know that?”. I feel my chest tighten. I’m nervous for today. I’m scared for my sister. “Hey, hey… it’s okay. Your sister is okay. Goddess, that’s so weird to say ‘your sister’ by the way”. He nuzzles into his mark on my neck, making me swoon and moan slightly. “I wish baby, we don’t have time right now but you are helping me relax so don’t move”. His hands roam southward over my bottom. “I’ll be with you the whole time today. Stuck to you like glue. When it’s all over, we go see Emma… deal?”. He always knows how to make me feel better. I smile and nod, “Okay, let’s get thi
Savannah’s POV I had been feeling extra emotional these last few days. I chalked it up to the impending trial and everything as a whole. This has been a tense time for the pack and group. Seeing Erik yesterday was overwhelming. It caused a lot of flashbacks and worsened my already bad night terrors. Dan has been such a sweetheart. He gives me plenty of space which I know is so hard for him, especially being an alpha but I know he knows I’m going through a lot. I have kept a secret calendar marking off the days since the horrid night Erik took my virginity. It’s been 45 days and no cycle. Shit. When I had been at Ruth’s house, I remember she had some pregnancy tests in her bathroom but how the hell would I get in there? What about the clinic? Would they just give me one discreetly? Dan cannot know about this. Waking up extremely early, the morning of the trial, I ran over to the hospital where I had been visiting the girls- Anna, Hannah and Bree; that Regan h
Michelle’s POV During recess, I let Dan and Savannah have some private time. At this point, I no longer cared about my own testimony but she was pregnant with that monster’s child… My uncle’s. How would Dan react? If roles were changed and it were me, I’m not sure Leo would be so happy. Sure he’d accept it because it wasn’t my fault but he would try and kill Erik I’m sure of it. I’m brought from my thoughts with the smell of coffee wafted under my nose. I giggle, opening my eyes to find Leo baiting me. “Don’t think too hard darling, that’s my job”. He kisses my cheek, handing me my coffee. We sit in comfortable silence for a bit, soaking up some sunlight when we’re summoned back into the courthouse. “The council has agreed after deliberation that all parties tried, are guilty of all charges laid before them”. They laid out the punishments for the lower ranked members and finally made it to Erik. “With regard to the former Alpha Regent, Erik is to be execute
Emma’s POV As soon as Liam left, I realized I only have two hours to accomplish my plan. I reach out for Selene, praying she’s listening. “It’s sort of an emergency and I wouldn’t be contacting you if I didn’t need to”. There’s a tingling in my mind followed by, “meet me downstairs for tea”. I gently make my way downstairs, honoring the promise to my mate and doctor. I love referring to Grace as my doctor. It makes her sound so official. I see Selene sitting in a corner chair, sipping on a cup of tea. “I’m glad you’ve made yourself comfortable”, I tease. She smiles, “I’m glad to see you’re feeling better”. As I take a seat, I remember Liam screaming at her last night. “Does my feeling better have anything to do with Liam cursing you last night?”, I lift a brow questioningly. She smiles but doesn’t reply. “What is this favor you speak of?”. I grab for the second cup of tea, secretly wishing it were hot chocolate. Only when I look back at the cup, it’s cha
Liam’s POV Holy crap. My Luna just suggested anal to me. Kalen comes forward, “it’s natural bud, go for it”. I scowl at him, “maybe for you, you’re a dog. Besides, I don’t want to hurt her”. Wait, does this mean she’s done that before? Suddenly I feel insecure. And on cue, Emma tells me I’d be her first. Great, now my dick is impossibly hard. There’s no going back from this erection. She leads us into the bedroom and reaches for a gift bag. “Who gifted you lube?”I'm suddenly very pissed. She giggles… “no baby, it was a gag for the baby shower- it’s KY jelly. They use it for birth but um… well, I sort of googled this once like last week… cause…”. Before she could finish, I had her pinned on the bed. She laughs in between kisses, “so you’re not mad I googled it? It was a ‘how to’ but yeah, a lot of ummm interesting things came up. But I wanted to be prepared and I wanted to try this with you”. I kiss all along her mark, making her arousal thicken around me. “No ba
