LOGINLevi's gift for the score!
LeviI warned both Carlos and Bjorn that Nigel is very protective of his pups before we shifted and took off running. Hope had a small bag that I wrapped around Malcolm with our clothes in it. I’m hoping if we’re shifted and covered, he won’t attack us when we arrive. However, since I'm returning with two powerful shifters, I know it's going to put Nigel on edge.Running makes it easier since we can bypass the roadways and run straight through the forests. Even still, I stop when the sun begins to set. Coming up on Nigel’s den in the middle of the day is a lot different than the middle of the night.The three of us make camp. Bjorn gets food while Carlos and I start a fire. When Bjorn returns with two bucks, we quickly strip the deer and put the meat over the fire to cook. While we wait, Bjorn turns to Carlos.“Tell me what our daughter was like growing up,” he says.Carlos smiles and launches into a lengthy story of Hope’s growing up years.“Everything was fine until she turned ten a
LeviA couple of days after Betas Amber and Carlos arrived, we decided to go make our attempt to find Nigel and bring him and his daughters back with us.Since Amber didn’t get to spend a lot of time with Queen Lily when they first arrived and knowing Lily's family will be arriving soon for the birth of her first child, Amber and Hope decided to walk us to Araphyra.We stop, as we always do at the Troll Bridge to say hello to our friendly, neighborhood trolls and to show off our sons. They informed us that two of the troll couples are pregnant and will be having their own troll babies soon.“It feels like it’s always spring here in the fae lands, with pregnancies and babies everywhere you turn,” Amber says as we walk.Matthan has settled into a new eating routine and is now going two to two-and-a-half hours in between his nursing schedule. We called ahead to tell Queen Lily that we’d like to see Dr. Traeliorn while we’re here, rather than having Hope and Amber return on their own whil
HopeAfter putting our boys down last night, I was excited when Levi followed me into what I’m hoping becomes our bedroom. I’ve missed my mate so much and the idea of being with him again, of feeling his love wrap around me made me happy.When we got into bed, he curled up behind me, wrapped his arm around my waist, and kissed the top of my head.“Goodnight, Hope.”I could feel his body’s response to me, the same response that my body was having to him. Now that I’ve gotten some sleep, I actually feel capable of doing something other than passing out.“I’ve missed you, Levi,” I say, pressing against him.“I’ve missed you too, Hope, but this isn’t going to happen.”I stop moving. “Because you’re still angry with me?” I ask.He moves away from me and pulls me onto my back so he can look into my eyes.“Because we did this your way last time and it didn’t work for either of us. This time, we’re doing it my way. This time, you’re going to give me everything, your heart, mind, body, and soul
LeviI wake to the sound of people talking. I’m disoriented enough that it takes me a moment to realize I’m not in the packhouse, I’m in Eventide, in a castle that shouldn’t have anyone but me and Hope.I get up and quickly change my clothes, tuning into the conversation. When I hear Beta Amber’s familiar voice, I realize they arrived while I was sleeping. They’re in the nursery next door, so I walk over, seeing Beta Carlos holding LJ and Beta Amber rocking in the chair, giving Matthan a bottle.“Levi,” Beta Amber says, greeting me.“Hello, Beta. Sorry I wasn’t awake when you arrived,” I say, nodding at Beta Carlos.“Nonsense. Hope said you stayed up all night so she could get some sleep. Not to worry, now that Carlos and I are here, you should both be able to get some sleep.”I walk over to Carlos and kiss my son’s head.“He’s a big boy. Hope says he’s predominantly Alpha wolf,” he says.“Yes, and he eats like one,” I say, chuckling. I walk over to Amber, kissing her cheek before kiss
HopeI’m so used to having no free time in my day, that having Levi here, having the ability to let someone else feed my pups, is still taking time to sink in.After lunch, I pumped again, said goodbye to everyone, then Levi and I began the trek back to Eventide.“Tell me about your call with your mother,” he said as we walked. I did, then asked him about his conversation with Dad and my sisters about Nigel and their other sisters.“I think they’re going to call Orsa and tell her,” Levi says.“I need to call her anyway and see how she’s doing. I’m sure just being pregnant is stressing her out. Knowing she’s pregnant with twins is probably going to make it even more stressful for her.”“One thing at a time, Hope. Let’s get back and get the boys settled, then you can pump again while I begin setting up a bedroom for your parents.”“You’re going to set up the bedroom?” I ask, staring at him.“It’s not like I don’t know how to make a bed, Hope. I’ve lived on my own for several years, no om
LeviWhen Hope told me she’d be right back, fear had instantly taken hold. It’s going to take time for me to trust that she’s not running away from me again.I felt a tug of jealousy as I watched Artis and Bjork holding my sons. They’ve had more time with them than I have. But that’s all going to change now.I push the jealousy aside and sit across from them. They’re both good with my sons, talking to them and rubbing their faces against them.“We really are glad you’re here, Levi. Orsa may have been the most outspoken about it, but none of us believed that Hope should have kept her pregnancy from you.”“She shouldn’t have,” I say, and leave it at that. My issues with Hope are between the two of us.Bjorn walks in with his sprite mates a few moments later and I’m stunned at the transformation in him.“I’m glad you finally made it, Levi,” he says, walking up to greet me.I stand and shake his hand, staring at him. He’s obviously just shifted out of his bear form because he’s only wearin
LeviAs soon as Tanya called me, I told her to put me on speakerphone.“Hope, can you hear me?” I ask, getting dressed quickly. My mate needs me.When Tanya tells me it’s Qadira, I already know there’s a problem. Qadira would have shifted back if she could.“I’m coming, baby. Hang on.”“Levi, I thin
HopeThe moment she walks on stage, the crowd erupts. A part of me wishes I was just here to enjoy her music. I really do love her songs, and she’s singing two of my favorites in her set.While she’s on stage, I mouth the words along with her, bouncing to the music, while still watching the crowd an
LeviThe alerts on my phone started going off so frequently that it sounded like an alarm. Eventually, I just muted my phone. Erika Edwards, and by association, Hope, were all over the fucking internet.I stayed up late looking at images of Erika and Hope. Of course the one that is getting the most
LeviI was really glad to speak to Hope when I did. Every time I see her, she looks even more relaxed. I can tell that she and Tanya are getting really close, really fast. Just the fact that Tanya suggested calling me to tease Hope about being her ‘friend with benefits’ says a lot.After watching my
