Where'd he go??
~Sawyer’s Point of View~ *It’s too soon, this is not a good idea. I know you need to show off for her, I get it. But this isn’t--* Remy snarled at me and caught another possum, making me shake my head. There were far better things, and I certainly wasn’t fond of them in my human form. After about half an hour I was certain that Lola was upset, wondering if I was mad at her. I guess she’s about to find out why we left but I’m just not confident it’ll go over well. SCRATCH SCRATCH Remy stood in front of the cabin door, his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. He was too proud of himself and I just couldn’t burst his bubble. When we heard her little footsteps his heart began to race, and he practically lost his mind with anticipation. The door opened slowly, and when she saw Remy she smiled and opened it further. “Ohh, ohh wow uhm…” she said, as her eyes darted to the mound in front of her. *I told you,* I scolded him. He waved me off and moved to her side, rubbing his hea
~Lola’s Point of View~ When I was in elementary school I got royally kicked in the crotch during soccer at recess and I remember that hurting like a son of a bitch. But this was a different level. Pain, burning, the intense aching that was now settling in. “What happened? I thought you were ready,” I heard, his voice clearly panicked. Good God I have so much to teach this man. It is obvious now that this pairing was made to try every single ounce of my patience and understanding. “I was ready but you still have to go slow,” I mumbled. “But my seed was close, I had to get it inside you,” he said, as if it should be obvious. He’s so damn simple. I can’t stand it. I groaned. Laying on his side next to me, I could now see his face. He was terrified. Good. “I’m gonna need Tylenol or something. Please tell me there is some pain medicine,” I asked. “I can heal you,” he said, and I nearly shrieked as he spouted a claw from his hand, using it to slice his finger. “I’m not drinking
~Lola’s Point of View~ I woke feeling like hundred degrees, like I was baking. I was nestled in a bunch of soft pillows and for a moment I completely forgot where I was, what bed I was in. I turned my head right into a giant face, snoring softly. His huge arm was over my chest in a clamiing manner and I loved it. His big hand was holding my boob and I nearly laughed. He wasn’t about to let that go, even in his dreams. We’d fallen asleep talking and I’d probably bored him to death with my childhood stories. The more we talked the more two things became glaringly obvious; I was definitely adopted and I was already in love with this man. A man that couldn’t possibly be more different than me in every way. A man that a week ago I didn’t even know existed. A man that is still such an enigma to me in so many ways yet I really think I feel this whole mating bond thing, I feel it in my bones. If I was taken from him right this minute, even before I was marked, I knew without a doubt I’d
~Sawyer’s Point of View~ I reached around my sexy mate as we washed the dishes together. How the hell is a normal thing like this so hot? Oh yeah, we’re both naked and I can’t keep my damn hands off her. “Our first pup will be a little warrior girl. As a child I’ll teach her to hunt with a bow, she’ll be the most sought after female as an Alpha’s daughter,” I said, proud and excited. Remy was passed the fuck out, wimp. I’d need him strong for tomorrow to get us down south anyhow so I let him be. Lola practically dropped the plate in her hand and jerked her face back into mine. “We’ll name her after your sister. Or … if our first is a boy we’ll call him Corey,” she said, smiling. I scoffed, picturing Corinne’s nose turned up at me how she did when I teased her. Which was often. “She hated being called Corie. Hated it. Said she wasn’t a boy,” I said, taking the plate and drying it. “Well we’ll just see how you feel about it the first time you hold our baby,” she said, playfully.
~Sawyer’s Point of View~ I leaned forward in my chair, staring at the back of Jett’s head. It was a mixed bag of emotions for me, the last thing I wanted to do was rub my good fortune in his face. “The trip to the city will be good for us. It’s uhm, kind of a make or break situation for our relationship. We’ll be gone for about two weeks, maybe less. I have a few business meetings, about six of us are going. Rusty knows I’m Alpha but he doesn’t know shit about the rest of us. As far as everyone else is concerned outside of our pack there is only one. I like it that way,” he said, as I stood next to him and leaned over the railing. I didn’t speak, he was clearly in the middle of something. I wanted him to keep going. “Should something happen to me, we already have a great network in place. The Cove will go on. I’m not being melodramatic or anything, it's just a fact. I don’t trust these fucks for a second no matter who I take with me,” he said. Without thinking about it, I put my
~Lola’s Point of View~ How is this my life? I laid in a massive hammock, my beast of a mate underneath me as the sun set on the horizon. The mix of oranges, pinks and even purples were breathtaking and I was going to get to watch this every single freakin’ night. Jett had given us a more comprehensive house tour before I was basically tossed out so the men could talk. That lasted for THREE freaking hours. I’d get what I could out of Sawyer later on, especially if I was to have such a prominent role in the pack like they had explained. Tomorrow some of the locals were going to come by and show us around the area, I was excited and really … I hoped there were some females I could befriend. I missed my friends, I missed my mom. Just having all this new stuff happen, finding my soulmate … and not having a single person to tell about it was impossible. “Remy says he can talk to Eva now,” I heard, just in my ear. I’d felt her presence grow these last few hours but she wasn’t saying muc
~Lola’s Point of View~ A tear fell from my eye as I watched the forest burning, with nothing I could do to stop it. I’d watched as Remy and his men shredded several enemy wolves on the beach then ran off into the darkness. My only source of comfort was the woman to my side that I now knew as Luann. And the button down shirt she’d given me since I wasn’t thrilled to be sitting here totally nude in front of her fifteen year old. She could at least mind-link with others and while she told me I likely could with Sawyer as his mate I didn’t dare try. I couldn’t interrupt him, not now. It seemed like the fighting was pretty heavily concentrated back on the border, the Cove had successfully beaten them back and no more had tried to come down the beach. I was furious of course that this unbelievably special and amazing night was ruined but I could hardly do anything about it now. Shifting back was insanely painful, especially since Eva didn’t get much time on her own, couldn’t even run to
*This is part two: Alice’s story* ~Four Days Ago~ ~Alice’s Point of View~ “You’re lucky as hell we got to you first. If the Cove freaks got ya, you fine females would be slaves,” I heard, making my skin crawl. “Eyes forward,” someone else shouted. I gulped and kept walking, trying to keep it together. We’d been walking on and off for nearly a day with no food or water. My feet and legs were cut, my wolf was too tired to properly help heal me. The silver cuffs on my wrists and ankles weren’t helping either. The Cove would make us a slaves huh? Worse than this? Cold wind whipped at my bare skin, making me wince and another female cried out loud. “Shh,” another said, trying to get her to shut up. You can’t show weakness. That much I knew, and right now I didn’t know a whole lot. About half a mile up I saw a gate, manned with at least four males. I gulped, thinking they were going to take us, claim us. This has to be our final destination. Venom. I’d much rather take my chance
