LOGINChapter 177Victoria’s POV“Victoria,” Vanessa calls to me and I turn around. She hugs me. “So good to see you. Thank you so much for the gift. I know doing that was sacrifice for you.”“I was happy to get you something off the registry. I am so sorry I couldn’t arrive in person. I had finals and work. Mrs. Laine offered to fly me down, but the tips at Christmas time, I can’t pass up those,” I lie better than I thought I could. “Tori,” Leo smiles at me with a nod. I nod back and don’t make an effort to hug or touch him. I know better. Vanessa seems to notice and smiles.“Laura told us you figured us out.”“It wasn’t easy but things weren’t adding up. When I asked she was kind enough to educate me. If I’m honest knowing all this makes understanding Nathan a little easier,” I look at Leo. Nathan is still my man and Leo hurt him.“I let him down, I know. But loyalty isn’t blind. He pressured her,” Leo shakes his head.“That is bull shit and we both know it,” I say without t
Chapter 176Nathan’s POVWhen we go back to the den my parents are looking at us with knowing grins. I just smile not caring. I’m marrying her, and we were not doing anything wrong. I have heard them doing way worse.“Where would you like to eat dinner tonight?” Mom asks us as we cuddle together on the couch. “We have a kitchen, I can cook,” Täydellisyys offers.“It’s the night before Christmas Eve, we don’t cook for the next 5 days,” Mom shakes her head. “Even Dinner tomorrow and Christmas Day are catered.”“Those poor caters,” Täydellisyys frowns. “Don’t they want to be with their families?”Mom and Dad look at each other. All these years, I bet it never occurred to them that the people serving us would want to be at their own families meals. Honestly, until this moment it never occurred to me either.I kiss my mate’s head and hug her. She is going to make me a better man. I feel it. “Chinese?” Dad breaks the awkward silence. “We will consider rather than serving we jus
Chapter 175Victoria’s POVWe land in Atlanta and Laura is waiting for us. “Hey,” I say stepping into her hug. “I’m so glad you are here,” She smiles at us.“Victoria!” Angelica’s voice yells loudly. She is running to me. “OMG!”I hug her briefly. “Home for Christmas?”“Yeah for a week, then me, Trent, Casey, and Andrew are heading to Aspen. Would you and Nathan join us?”“I can’t,” I shake my head. “Mrs. Laine brought me here for a few days. I have to get back to work. Nathan is….”I look and he is already in the car. I point and she frowns.“He is still hurting over Carrie?” Angelica shakes her head. “Do you see him often?”I shrug. “We are in different parts of the city. So not much.”“Well please ask him to join the group chat again. I think he has us blocked,” She rolls her eyes and responses to a woman calling her name. “We should catch up while you are here.”“If we have time,” I smile and wave. I get in the car and look at Nathan. “Don’t ask me to forgive them too?
Chapter 174Nathan’s POV“She is so cold to me in bed. She sucks my dick like a vacuum, seriously, but damn open your fucking legs to more than my tongue,” I say complaining. I’m feeling good, I’m 9 shots in.“Alex’s ass is so tight I can’t get all the way in,” Luke complains also very drunk. “We have tried everything. But his mouth is where the magic happens.”“Jess was my first I was not hers. She has tricks I am addicted to. She can be a mean pick me, I pick her everytime,” Damien raises his beer. “How are we going to get home?” Luke asks looking around. “Same way we got here Uber,” I remind him and he nods. “It’s 3am.”“Jess is going to fucking kill me,” Damien says looking at his phone. “Dude it’s 9pm what are you looking at?”I look back at my phone and it’s dancing I hand it over to Damien who is the least drunk of us. “Tori has called you 12 times,” he tells me.“She is going to betray me too. She wants to take their side,” I know I’m drunk the room is dancing. “S
Chapter 174Victoria’s POV“You can’t cut them out completely,” I tell Nathan as he pouts about his parents wanting us home for Christmas. “I don’t want to go back to the pack. I don’t want them knowing I have a mate. They will say that means I have to be pack, I don’t want to be pack,” Nathan tells me. “I’m trying to be on your side, but if you love me so much it shouldn’t matter who supported Carrie,” I tell him. “If my love really healed you then you wouldn’t care. Nathan I am trying to be enough but this constant anger is just tearing everyone up. You can’t get an apology from your cousin or your Uncle if you refuse to hear them out. Maybe they are sorry, maybe they have their reasons. You will never know. Your Mom wants us home for Christmas. I want to honor that. If you stay here alone you will spend Christmas alone. Even Alex’s parents want him and Luke in their home. So you will be alone completely.” “Then I will be completely alone for Christmas,” Nathan says bef
Chapter 172Nathan’s POV“Look if someone hits the person you love….” Alex bites both his lips and closes his eyes.“Oh shit,” Damien starts laughing. “Now it’s love? Wow.”“Stop,” Täydellisyys doesn’t want anyone picking on them. “You called him someone you love?”Alex nods and Luke puts his arm over Alex’s shoulders. “If shit blows up me and Nathan absolutely have your backs,” Täydellisyys walks over to me. “Are you ever going to fake kidnap me again?”“Never.” I answer. My nose hurts a lot but I still kiss her. “Are you angry anymore?”“Oh, I’ll be angry for a long time, but I still love you,” she tells me with a smile. “I will consider what punishment you need.”I smile and hold her close. She looks at my bandaged hands and kisses them. “I’m really sorry I hurt you,” She tells me softly.“I’m so proud of how hard you fought. You are truly kick ass,” I kiss her head. “Täydellisyys is more than a name.”When we finally get to bed Täydellisyys helps me prop up so I can s
Chapter 3Crystal’s POV“I think we should take her to the pack courtyard and drown her,” Tina my assistant scowls as we eat our lunch. I have just shared the Amilee situation with her. She is making me laugh.“It gets worse!” I chuckle. “Jason called HR today and asked if Amilee could get an ass
Chapter 6Crystal's POV “You are too far away,” he says, his accent thicker than normal. He is trying to stop himself from grabbing me too harshly. “I’m awful dry right now,” I say sitting on my desk. I put my feet up on the two chairs guests sit in. “I think I have the cure for that,” Jared
Chapter 5 Crystal POV “A lunch with my co-conspirators,” I tease as we are seated at table for four in the back. “He made a reservation for four,” Patrick huffs. “He forgets we can count and he is stupid.” “I am sorry,” Crystal smiles at Patrick. “I know you are baring the most of this.” “
Chapter 4Jared’s POV“I’m sorry Patrick,” I say before he walks over to Amilee’s desk. I look at Crystal’s door, but she doesn’t come out. I’m not sure this is the best play, but I also know I will have blue balls if I defy my wife. “My Alpha is commanding this, I’ll do it,” Patrick huffs heavi
