Reign After we drove for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Cracker Barrel. I love this place. I got out rubbing my hands together. Let’s go. I said skipping into CB. Hi, I need a table for 15 please. I smiled at the girl. She looked at me and her mouth fell open. Damien approached her. Excuse me, may I speak with your manager? He asked politely. Miss? He snapped his fingers in front of her face. OMG! She squealed as she covered her mouth. Please don’t scream, yell or call attention. He told her bring her attention to him. Get your manager for me, please. Quietly. She nodded and rushed off. When she returned, she had who I assumed was the manager. Damien went and spoke with her. That female better not touch our mate. My inner voice growled in my head. Not you again? I grumbled. And why do you keep calling him our mate? I don’t even know what the hell a mate is. I snapped. As crazy as this sounds, do you have a name? I asked. Call me Nera and she’s touching him, go
Damien Hearing the sobs of my mate made my heart ache, all I wanted to do was wrap her in my arms, hide her away and take her pain away. I kept glancing at her in the rear-view mirror, she looked so broken. We finally arrived at Reign’s home, she jumped out of the car and rushed her way to the police line, but she was stopped by Mac and Duncan. She was fighting hard to get lose but they held her tight. A wave of anger flowed through me, and I ran to her side growling at both men, who released her, and I wrapped my arms around her. Let me go! She kept yelling. Please, KC! I need to find KC! Who’s KC? A firefighter asked who was standing next to us. KC, she’s my furbaby. She was in the house! Please find her. She sobbed. KC! C’mere girl, come to momma! She pleaded trying to whistling for KC. Mr. McAvoy, may we speak with you? A fire fighter called. Jaz and Ryott put their arms around her in comfort, I stood behind them and wrapped all three of them in a hug. Slowly Reign sunk to h
Reign Streaks of sunlight peeked their way through the curtains, I groaned. Why does the sun have to be so bright in the mornings? I asked myself covering my eyes. I went to get outta bed, but I was pinned down. Reign, our mate loves us. He...they, will protect us, all you have to do is open up to him and trust him. I heard Nera whisper in the back of my mind. Oh shittles! Who’s lying next to me? I looked over to my side, cheese n crackers!! It’s Damien! He had one arm under my head and the other one draped across my waist. Why is he in my bed? I lifted the blanket, OH THANK GOODNESS, I still have my clothes on and he’s in shorts. I wiggled as best I could do to get up. I had to go pee. Every time I moved to get up his grip got tighter. I leaned back and looked at him. He’s so gorgeous, has a strong jaw line, his skin has the most perfect tan. His hair was a mess, but it is so soft. I moved some of his matted hair from his forehead. Mate is so handsome. Nera purred. WTF? Are yo
Reign We drove in silence with the only noise coming from the classic rock station playing softly on the radio. As we got closer, my tears started to silently fall, and my heart started to hurt. I don’t know if anything would be salvageable, all I really want are my pictures and my safe, everything else can be replaced but not my pictures. They were all I had left of mom, dad, and the life I had before they died. I prayed that I would be able to find my safe and pictures. We pulled up to the gate and we were immediately let in. Before we turned the corner to my house, I froze. NO! STOP! I don’t think I can do this. I whispered through sobs. Damien came to a stop and waved the guys around us. Little one, you’re not alone. We are all here for you. Damien said leaning his forehead on my left temple. I took a deep breath and nodded indicating for him to keep moving. When we got to the remains of my home, there were stacks of items that looked like they have been cleaned of the soot fr
Reign Actually, go to this address. I said handing Damien a piece of paper. He raised his brow at me. Just go there, Mac rented it for the next week. I need to get outta that hotel. Spencer and Moses already checked it out and are waiting on us. We will stay there until the day before the show. You sent them without telling me? He was annoyed, whatever, I rolled my eyes at him. You did say to let you, Shadow or Moses know if I needed anything, so I told Moses since you and Shadow were busy. I said shrugging my shoulders cuddling with my new puppies. Moses didn’t tell me anything. He said in thought. I asked him not too. Why? He asked. Because I figured you would argue with me about it, and I didn’t feel like arguing with you over this. I sighed. I need quiet, and I want to step outside without camera’s flashing in my face. I finished as we pulled into the long dirt road leading to the house. I wouldn’t have argued with you about it if you had just told me why you wanted this. I
Reign Reign, this is Koltyn. She pointed to a dark brown wolf; he was standing over the small dirty blonde wolf. The small one is Jazlyn. The little wolf yipped, wagged her tail and nuzzled Koltyn. Koltyn’s wolf’s name is Kota and Jaz’s is Artemis and the big black one is Damien’s wolf, Ayres. Ryott explained. You can pet him; he won’t bite you. She giggled. Actually, you’re the only one who’s allowed to pet Ayres. Ayres grunted at Ryott. Oh stop, you know it’s true. She shot at him. Ayres continued to stare at me and slowly moved closer to me crawling on his belly and lowly whimpered at me. What’s he doing? I asked, my eyes going wide. He wants you to pet him, this is his way of letting you know that he won’t hurt you. Ryott told me. He’s basically submitting to you and that’s a big thing, especially for an Alpha. When he was directly in front of me, he lowered his head and gently nudged against my hand. He kept whimpering lowly at me. I looked at Ryott, who gave me an encou
Reign We drove for about forty-five minutes when we finally arrived at our destination. Remember, you are a Shadow and Shadow’s do not speak, got it? I instructed him, he grunted and shrugged at me. I take that as a yes. Hey, there she is, long time no see! Hey Bucky! How’s it goin’? I asked giving him a hug. I heard a low growl, I turned and glared at Shadow. SHUT UP! I snapped at him. Bucky seemed to ignore the growl or maybe he didn’t hear it. Goin’ great, keepin’ busy. He replied. What’s up with you? You look stressed and you haven’t been ‘round for a while. Yeah, I know, sorry things have gone more than a little haywire. I told him scratching my head. Some psycho has decided to make me the object of his obsession. I grunted. Has he… Bucky trailed off. I knew what he was going to ask. No, but he’s broken into my house, sent threatening letters, stuff like that. He set my house on fire and killed KC. I lost everything. I whispered. Awe, squirt, I’m so sorry that happened. I
ReignWe stayed at the rental property for a few days of peace and quiet. I was still a little pissed at everyone, but I was slowly getting over it. I still needed to talk with Jaz and Ryott, I need to apologize to them. I didn’t mean what I said, and I needed to let them know that. Damien and I spent more time together, we would go down to the pond, talking and learning more about each other. Of course, there were times that he still irritated me but those are things we still needed to figure out. Every time he touched me, the tingles or sparks would course through my body.I have a question. I said as he played with my hair. We were laid out on a blanket enjoying the afternoon breeze. Ask away beautiful. He said pushing strands of hair behind my ear. I softly giggled, why do I feel electric shocks when we touch? And why are you always sniffing me? It’s kinda weird. I asked scrunching my nose. He chuckled at my facial expression. Well, he said pulling me closer to him, the little
