BRINLEY.
Do you know that sickening feeling after eating a corn dog and riding the roaster right after not thinking about the consequences? That's the feeling I have right now as we are all gathered around Papa's bed.
Tear's streaming down everyone's face, myself included. Xander's holding my shoulders as Kelsy, Delores, and I say our goodbyes to him. But what is the right last words t
********************* CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ********************* BRINLEY. I open my eyes to see the sunlight shine through the window; Xander must have put to bed. The last thing I remember was falling asleep in the car. It feels strange to wake up in the Caputo kingdom again, but it also feels like home. I yarn, stretching my limbs, glancing around the room, then I realized I was not in Xander's room, and we didn't share the bed. I
************************* CHAPTER- THIRTY-TWO ********************** BRINLEY. "Where have you been?" Julia says, both hands on her hips. 'Taking care of your baby,' I wanted to say, but I didn't; there's no sense in causing Julia to say something that will make me slap the shit out of her. No matter how bad I want to do that. "Bane was fussy. We walked around town all day," She scoffs, "You should have asked my permission to take him into town," She says. "I didn't want to wake you from your beauty sleep," I say sarcastically. "Whatever, give me my baby," I hand Bane over to his mother, and without uttering another word, I run upstairs to my room. My phone starts ringing when I close the door and glance at the screen. Kelsy. "Hey, Kels," "Brinley, who was that adorable baby, you sent me a picture of. Unfortunately, I was busy earlier and couldn't phone you," She says, sounding exhausted. "It was Julia's baby, his name Bane," I tell her as I run my bathwater. My feet are
***************************CHAPTER-THIRTY-THREE.************************BRINLEY."Xander, what are you doing here?"Xander breaks eye contact with me and glances at Bane in the stroller, and then he looks back at me."So it's true," He saysI frown."What's true?""That Julia is making a laughing stock out of the future Luna/queen,""I'll just wait outside," Dr. Jacob says, walking to the door.Dr. Jacob paused, glancing up at Xander. They exchanged a look that I couldn't place before the Dr. left the room.What was that about?"No one is making me the laughing stock but you!" I tell Xander once we are alone. "Me?" He says, pointing to himself. I nod."Says the girl letting Julia tell her lies and have her slaving for her and her child." He sneers."What are you saying? That those things Julia told were untrue?""Of course they were,"My forehead creased. Julia lied? Of course, I wouldn't put anything past her, but it all made sense. Or so I thought. It's still hard to believe th
**********************CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR**********************BRINLEY.It's been two days since Xander has seen my sketches for the new orphanage. He and I have a meeting to discuss it with one of Xander's contractors.Xander also agreed to keep this under wraps so the nuns don't find out; I want to surprise them.The nuns will be able to bring in more help and more children. Katie had an idea to help get the kids into new homes. Hopefully, a fundraiser will help bring the orphanage some finances and show off the beautiful kiddos.Katie and I are going to the rental to tell the nuns the excellent news. "Remember not to let it slip about the orphanage, okay?" I tell Katie as were walking. I love Katie, but sometimes she has a big mouth."I won't," She says, glancing at me.I raised my brow, and she pursed her lips."I won't. Trust me,"I nod my head. I trust Katie. I just don't trust her mouth."How are things with you and Xander?" Katie changes the subject."Good. The other day
**********************CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE**********************BRINLEY.When Xander placed the ice cube into my pussy it sent shivers through me. The wetness from the ice mixed with my juices seeping on the sheets. Xander shoves another piece of ice into my opening. Again, my walls tightened, swallowing the ice. Who would have thought that ice being placed into the Vagina could feel so damn good? The ice did nothing to tame the fire within. Instead, it only ignited it more. My nerve endings pulse and I stifle a moan when Xander thrusts his finger inside me."Are you ready to choke on my dick, little mate?" He rasps, pushing his fingers deeper.Xander pulls me from the bed and pushes me to my knees in front of him.Xander unzips his pants, freeing his thick, veiny, rock-hard cock that's so solid that it turned a shade of purple. Xander digs his finger in my hair."Open,"I wrap my lips around his cock, licking the precum Xander groans. I take in more of him, hollowing my cheeks,
***********************CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX********************BRINLEY.Xander never marked me like I thought he would. I don't know what he is waiting for, but I wish he would claim me like he has claimed my body, heart, and soul. I know Xander will mark me, no doubt, but it will be when he's ready.We only have a week left until Dominic is born, and the closer that day comes, the more nervous I am. I have no doubt that I'll be a good mom, but Dominic's heart condition scares me, and it's something that will take me time to get used to.Kelsy called me the other day and said Ryder and Axel are having so much fun together she didn't realize how incomplete they were until she met Axel. I was glad to hear her say that because he deserved a home with parents like her and Ryder. Delores and Gabriel are getting along great as well. Delores has spoiled her already, Gabriel is excited to start school in a few weeks, and I think Delores is having separation issues already. "You'll never be
**************************CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN***********************BRINLEY."Brinley, I didn't mean to cause trouble between you and the Alpha King,"I shake my head."You didn't," I hold my chin up and force a smile."Now, shall we find Amanda?" Gabriel nods. I walk back into the house with Gabriel following in suit. I head in the direction of the backyard where the kids are playing. Gabriel and I look all over, but no sign of Amanda."Are you sure you left her here?"Gabriel nods."I'm sure,"I shrug my shoulders."Maybe she is getting some tea," I tell him and motion for him to follow. Just before I open the door to the Kitchen, Amanda comes down the stairs holding a baby in her arms."Gabriel, look," Amanda says, showing him the baby in her arms.I frowned. I don't remember the nuns having a baby this small. "We better talk to the nuns," I tell them. "They may be just watching him," I inform the two of them, and the smile that spread across Amanda's face falls.********
**************************CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT***********************BRINLEY."Tell my family hi for me," I say, hugging Amanda. "I will. Thanks for everything, don't be a stranger now, okay," Amanda says, wiping away her tears. "I won't," I shake my head."Look at us," Katie says, wrapping her arms around Amanda and me. "The Three Musketeers back together again,"We all laugh at that. We used to call ourselves the three musketeers because we were together all the time. They were there for me during the hard times. I will never forget that."I love you both. But, Brinley, I'll come back and see your baby once he is born," Amanda quips. I nod to her."I'd like that,""I'm sorry I won't be here. But Amanda will send me pictures," Gabriel says, smiling as he wraps his arm around Amanda's waist."Xander might be okay by then. I'll talk to him," I tell Gabriel.He shakes his head."Don't. Look, Brinley, I don't want you fighting with your mate over me,"I frown."But it's not like
