I could remember one time when I knocked on death's door. It was that day when the dogs attacked me. The doctors told mother that I was lucky to be alive because I had lost a lot of blood. I had wished to die that day because I hated my life. But things were different the second time I knocked on death's door. Michel had been by my side, begging me not to leave them, apologizing for not being on time to protect me. I had been shot that night. Not on purpose, but by a stray bullet that hit me while I was running. Draven had taken me to the motel where he found me to return me to my pack, but things had gone wrong when Jackson and his men showed up. He hit me and then told me to run if something happened to him. Jackson had pulled his gun first, demanding that Draven tell him where I was, but he had refused. Maybe Tyrone was right, maybe it wasn’t my fault. I hadn’t asked Draven for help, he had decided to help me on his own free will and it had unfortunately ended up getting him
David straightened as I stepped out of the house. “I’m going for a walk,” I told him when he frowned at me. “I don’t need my alphas to go with me.”“But alpha is going to walk with you. Where are you going?”It was on the tip of my tongue to tell him that I didn’t need him to go with me, but I changed my mind and gave him a shrug instead. He followed me down the steps and waited for me to choose the path before he fell into step next to me. Both of us were silent as we walked. It gave me time to think about what Bella had said. Will I be like my mother? Will I scream at it if it wouldn’t stop crying? Would I hate it like my mother hates me?“What are you thinking about so hard?” David questioned, breaking the silence. I hesitated. “I feel…confused,” I told him. “And scared. I don’t know what to do.”“Is it about the baby?” he questioned. “Yes.” David smiled. “I’m all ears, darling.”“I told Tyrone that I don’t want to keep it.” When he remained silent I continued. “Bella told me
We almost lost her. It might have been just a gaze, but she was close to death. Sin lost so much blood…I should have checked her over for injuries when I found her on the road. I should have fucking stopped the bleeding. I should have gotten to her sooner. Sin stirred, turning onto her back and kicking one part of the blanket off. My eyes trailed over her, lingering on the bandage that covered her upper arm. Just a graze…but it could have been fatal. Just a stray bullet that grazed her arm but could have hit her in the head or stomach or heart. She was so close to death and it was because I didn’t get to her in time. Leaning forward, I rubbed a hand down my face and stood. I froze in my tracks when Sin whimpered. My eyes snapped over to the bed as I spun around and hurried over to the bed. Taking the seat on the edge of the bed, I leaned closer and pressed a hand to her forehead. Another whimper fell from her lips as her body jerked. “Sin.” I slipped my hand down to pres
I sucked in a deep breath and savored the smell of made pancakes. My stomach rumbled, reminding me of the fact that I hadn’t eaten much last night. I haven’t had much of an appetite after everything that has happened in the last few weeks.At least I had both my mates at home and healing.But I was worried about Sin. She was not herself. After what happened to her, we had all been expecting the nightmares but the pregnancy was something else.I was nervous for Sin…for all of us because this was something none of us had even thought about. It was stupid of me, I should have checked to make sure that they had given Sin the birth-control implant but I was too pissed at her to even think about checking.Shaking my hea
“Do you want me to go get Bella?”I clutched at Michel’s hand as we followed the nurse down the hall toward the doctor’s room where she would do the scan. They had already taken my weight, checked my wound, and made me pee in a cup. “I’m sure I can find her before the doctor starts your scan.”As much as I would’ve loved to have Bella by my side, I needed her to be with Tyrone. She needed to make sure that she knew how to take care of Tyrone’s wounds at home because when I tried, I ended up puking my guts out. “You can stay,” I told Michel. “Are you sure? Because it looks like you’d rather be anywhere else but here with me.”I looked up at him to find him smiling at me. “I’m just scared.”“So am I.” Michel squeezed my hand. “Here we are.” The nurse stopped and turned to gesture us into a room. “You can go ahead and take off your underwear and lie down here on the bed. The doctor will be with you in a few seconds.”“Thank you.”My eyes locked on the bed and the strange things at th
“Breed you,” Michel growled. “I remember our beta telling us that a certain omega doesn’t want to be a breeding machine.”I remembered that conversation with Bella clearly. A lot had changed since we had that conversation months ago. Back then I had been uncertain of what my future held, but at the moment I knew where I wanted to be. “I want to be your breeding machine.”Another growl fell from his lips that made my stomach clench. I whimpered, trying to move closer so I could grind the hard length that was pressed against his zipper, but Michel had other plans. He wrapped an arm around my waist and turned, laying me down on the seat. Hovering above me on one elbow, he stared down at me with his brows dipped into a frown. “Sin, I want you to want it because you want it. I don’t want you to want it because we want it.” His frown deepened. “Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”I nodded. “Are you really paying attention, sweet pea?”I was trying to but it was hard to focus on w
“I’m happy with you’re healing.” He took a step back and nodded toward Bella. “You will be healed in a week or two.”“What about scaring?” I asked him, holding my arm up for Bella to rub ointment onto my wound. “Scaring will be minimal.” He dumped the rubber gloves into the pin and turned to face me. “If you have a problem with it then you can look into skin crafting. If you’ll excuse me, I have other things that require my attention.”I sneered at the door after he left. Fucking bastard thought that he was better than everybody around him. “Michel messaged me when they were done with the doctor,” Bella said softly. “I didn’t want to say anything with him in the room.”“Is there something wrong with the baby?” Bella straightened and looked me right in the eye. “There is no baby Tyrone.”No baby. I blinked at her. Sin wasn’t pregnant. A wave of relief flooded me, followed by guilt and then sadness. I was happy that Sin wasn’t pregnant because now she could decide when she wanted to
Look pretty. I sat on the couch and silently watched them. Bella had placed chips, drinks, and other packets of sweets on the other couch and then pulled the curtains closed. Michel had dropped a few blankets onto the couch before he disappeared again. It was just me now, alone with my thoughts. David’s club…his playrooms looked different that the room Tyrone showed me. Not only were the colours different, but so were the furniture and the toys. None of David’s rooms had cameras. “What are you thinking about so hard?” My eyes snapped up when Bella entered the room. I opened my mouth to answer her, but my eyes dropped to the things she carried, and words deserted me. Noticing the direction of my gaze, Bella smiled. “Believe me, we’re going to need these. Your toys are in the blue bag, and mine are in the white bag. The other toys are new ones our alphas ordered for us.” New toys. I liked the toys Tyrone got me, but he never mentioned anything about new toys. Was the toy we
