Reiner’s POV I lay in her bed, surrounded by her scent mixed with mine after we marked and mated each other. I hadn’t expected sex with my mate to be so different from the sex I had before. It was more intimate, it meant something. I guess that’s what they mean by making love. I wanted her to stay but Evie needed her. That little girl had been through so much. She needed her more than I did. I had been lucky; I had grown up with both of my parents. I had close friends and family. We had family dinners every night. On Sundays, we had our family over and had a big dinner. I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. I jumped as Myla’s voice was in my head. “Are you ok? Why are you sad?” “I told her it was nothing and I had just been missing her.” I felt her happiness come through the bond. The mate bond gave us our own link to each other which was separate from the pack link. We would also feel what each other is feeling. It was a way for mates to know if their partn
Reiner's POVMyla said she had a surprise for me and my pack. She had me watch Evie while she went and got her car. We waited on the steps for her. Pretty soon, I saw a black pickup with black rims and dark tinted windows coming up the drive. The thing was lifted with those knobby “mudders” for tires.Great, who’s this shmuck? I wondered to myself as it pulled up in front of us blocking our view. The passenger window opened revealing Myla. “This is your car?” I was impressed, to say the least. She is such a petite girl, but she drives a monster truck? I have to admit, the thing is sleek almost like a panther, but you know it could probably go through anything.“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!” She flashed me a smile which told me how proud of her truck she is. Next to me, Evie squealed with delight. “I get to ride in a monster truck!” “That’s right little one, are you excited?”I couldn’t tell who was more excited, Myla or Evie. “Auntie Myla, who’s truck is this?” she was buckl
Myla's POVThe next morning, I awoke to my phone ringing. As I picked it up, I saw Doc’s name. I tapped answer. “Doc, how is she doing?”“Hello Alpha, she just woke up. She is very confused but, at least she is awake.”“Thank the Goddess! I am on my way.”“See you soon, Alpha.”I hung up the phone. I got up and threw on my clothes. I wanted to talk to her before /I had to show the newest members of the pack the town. Walking around to Reiner, I gently shook him. “Reiner, Reiner, wake up.” He opened his eyes.“Myla? Is everything alright?” he asked propping himself up on his elbows.“Yes, everything is fine. Can you listen for Evie? Her Mom woke up and I want to go talk to her.”“Of course, my love,” he told me to be careful, before kissing me goodbye.“Oh, I am going to squeeze my run in before we show everyone the town.”“Ok but please be careful.”“I will, I promise.” I gave him another kiss before heading off to the pack hospital.As I walked in, the scent of antiseptic cleaner bro
Myla's POV After I left the hospital, I went for my run and then headed back home to change. As I opened the door, Evie came running, jumping into my arms. “Did you see my Mommy? How is she? Can we go see her? Uncle Reiner said you made her a member of the pack. Did you really? Does that mean I can link her now? When are we going to show the town to everyone?” I chuckled as I walked in shutting the door behind me. Reiner was watching us, a knowing smile spread across his face. “Your turn to play 20 million questions,” he chuckled making a face at me. I sat down on the couch, placing Evie on my lap. “Well, I did see your mom. She is getting better but still needs some time. I did let her join the pack. When she is all better, you will be able to link her. We are going to show everyone the town right after I shower and change.” Evie stared at me as though I had just done something amazing. “You better go change Auntie Myla; we need to go. Uncle Reiner said they are curious to see i
Reiner’s POV We said goodnight to everyone as we headed to our suite. Evie bounced along holding my hand and telling me everything about her room and the house she will share with her mom. We trudged up the stairs, to our suite. Once inside, I brought Myla to our bed. I could tell she was exhausted. "You don't have to worry, I am just tired," she said. Myla hated when I worried but it's my job as her mate. She had been depending on herself for so long, that it was hard for her to have someone to lean on and help with things. I wanted to know what was going on inside that beautiful head of hers. I know she has been through a lot. Stretching, I stood up to go check on Evie. I heard Myla whimpering in her sleep, I turned back to her. She must be having a nightmare; I sat down and rubbed her back. She had tears streaming down her face. “No, please, don’t hurt them,” she was still crying in her sleep. “Please, don’t!” Who is she talking about? Her parents maybe? Then it hit me, did
Reiner's povListening to Barrett gave me an understanding of why Myla was so strong and so independent. She hadn't been given a choice."Barrett, I would love to meet your father some time.""I wish I could let you, but he died a few years ago," Barrett explained."I'm sorry for your loss, you must have been devastated." How much loss had they dealt with?"Yes, I was devastated, but Myla was lost." Barrett looked down sadly. "She made us all do laps from sun up to sun down until I finally told her everyone was going to run away if she didn’t give them a break. She finally did but, she didn’t give herself one. I would wake up and she would be out there running, I would go to bed, same thing. This went on for a few days before I finally made her talk. I felt horrible but, she needed to talk to someone. It was the biggest fight we had ever had. I literally had to pin her down while she fought me until she broke from exhaustion. She screamed at nothing one last time then the tears just b
Myla’s POV I didn’t know that was possible to do; Reiner was the only lover I had ever had, he could easily bring me to orgasm. I wasn’t naive enough to think I was the only one he had been with but, he knew how to pleasure a woman. I had orgasms before but the ones he could bring out of me; I felt like my legs turned to jelly after. I realized we had yet to use protection but, I knew I hadn’t gone into heat yet. I lay there listening to his breathing. I should go for my run but, I wanted to just stay here with him. I hadn’t taken a break from running since that terrible day; I had been found in the gully. I knew I should have told him about all of this, but I knew he knew some of it thanks to Barrett. They thought I didn’t know. I didn’t mind, it saved me from having to relive it. I hated talking about what happened. Everyone always wanted to know what they did to me. No. That is my secret to keep. Maybe someday I will tell Reiner, but I am still not ready to talk about i
Myla's POVDoc handed me one of those pink bins all hospitals have. “Thank you,” I mumbled as I was sick again.“I thought it was morning sickness, but it is not morning,” Reiner said worriedly.“Some women get all-day sickness. There is no way to know who will and who won’t. Myla may have it this time but, if she has another baby, she may not get sick at all.”Doc sat down on his stool. “Myla, you have yet to say anything,” he looked at me knowing I was in shock. “Doc, how can I be pregnant? I haven’t even gone into heat.” I knew I hadn’t gone into heat, I would have felt that. “Well, if you were starting to go into heat but, you had sex as it was beginning, you wouldn’t necessarily realize you had gone into heat. Females usually go into heat a week or two after being marked and mated. Females who have Alphas as mates, tend to go into heat anywhere from three or four days to a week after being marked. The fact you both are Alphas; means you could have gone into heat th
