The One He Saved Chapter 9: Someone to Lean On
JuneReturning to the pack that was my home for over thirty years is difficult. I have some good memories here, but most of them, especially at the end, were not good.We arrived the day before the others who will come tour the packs the weekend before the competition. We wanted to make sure the packhouse was clean enough for the pregnant she-wolves and mothers with young pups to sleep inside. I stand in front of my previous home and watch as the omegas begin carrying cleaning supplies inside while the warriors set up a perimeter to make sure that no one breaches the border of this pack while we’re here. Ezra is making sure that we’re protected.“Are you alright, Luna?” Ezra asks, walking up beside me.I smile up at the man that I know my daughter is taken with. I understand why being in another mate bond scares her, but Ezra is nothing like Elias or Joshua.“Of course I am,” I say, not feeling alright at all.He leans down, putting his face close to my ear. “You don’t have to pretend
The One He Saved Chapter 8: Planning for the Competition
EzraI was extremely relieved when we woke up and Margot didn’t pull away from me. I was surprised, but happy to realize that I’d given her what she asked for and needed, a memory of something positive in this place.After breakfast, we packed up and headed back to our pack. We still have a lot to prepare for before the walk through of the pack next weekend. I know Margot said she’d talk to her mother, but after spending the evening with her and seeing the impact being in her pack had on Margot, I know I need to check in with Luna June as well.When we get home, the pack flocks to Margot, just like they always do. How the woman doesn’t see that she’s a key person in this pack is beyond me. They love her, miss her when she’s gone, and crave her affection and praise, which she gives freely.I leave her to talk with the pack members, calling my lead warrior to my office. When he arrives, I tell him to close the door.“I need you to take three warriors and quietly go to Joshua’s old pack.
The One He Saved Chapter 7: The Morning After
MargotWhen I open my eyes, I feel Ezra’s heat behind me, like normal, but in front of me, is the remnants of the bonfire from last night. The bed that I had been forced to share with Joshua had burned for what felt like hours, or maybe it had been me who had burned for hours in the glow of Ezra's love. I truly had no idea that sex could feel so good.I feel Ezra press his lips to my bare shoulder.“Good morning,” he says, and I hear the tentative note in his voice. He’s still worried that I will have changed my mind about last night. I haven’t. I may not be ready to jump into bed with Ezra every night, but I’m glad, really glad, that he gave me these new memories of this place.“Good morning.”“How are you feeling?” he asks. I take one of the hands that he has wrapped around me and pull it to my lips. “I feel …” How do I feel? I look at the ashes of the bed from my nightmares, and I feel the tingling sensation that is still coursing through my body. “Empowered.”“Empowered? I like
The One He Saved Chapter 6: Taking the Risk
EzraIt’s not that I don’t want to make love to my mate. I would love nothing more than to continue to hear her making those sweet sounds of pleasure, to feel her body contracting around mine.But what terrifies me is that in her nightmares, Joshua’s face will be replaced with mine.I was ready to say no, ready to say that it was enough, but then she said ‘please’. Margot rarely asks for anything and she never, ever begs.“Promise me something, Margot,” I say, needing at least a little thread of hope that this won’t ruin everything I’ve been working so hard to create between us.“What is that, Ezra?”“Promise that if it becomes too much, if it’s too painful, too overwhelming, too anything, you’ll tell me and we’ll stop. I need you to promise me, Margot, because I refuse to become the person of your nightmares. I refuse …” I cut off, unable to even consider seeing myself in her mind as she’s screaming for me to stop.She takes my face in her hands, holding my gaze.“You just gave me mo
The One He Saved Chapter 5: Making New Memories
MargotI had no idea how cathartic it would be seeing the bed where Joshua raped me nearly every day for three years go up in flames. It really felt like I was burning the past, leaving it in ashes at my feet.“Ready to eat?” Ezra asks. He’s been my rock, the foundation that has allowed me to fall apart and build myself back up again during this entire clusterfuck of a day.“I wish we’d brought marshmallows. We could roast them over the flames of my past,” I say.“We should look and see if we have some. If not, we should definitely remember to bring some next weekend. I think the idea of roasting marshmallows is a great idea.”I turn and look at him. “Thank you. Thank you for helping me get through this. Thank you for being here for me and giving me the space and time I needed to work through this,” I say.“I told you, Margot. I’m here for you. Always. I meant it.”I know he means it. This man means every word he says. You can bet your last dollar on it, if Ezra Hart says it. Honestly
The One He Saved Chapter 4: The Burning Bed
EzraIt’s all I can do to not lose my fucking shit and tear this fucking packhouse down to the ground. I want to burn it all. I want to see this awful place destroyed.Through our bond, I could see everything that Margot suffered. I needed to be inside the space he kept her, needed to feel just how tight those confines were so I could better understand her fear of enclosed spaces.And now I do and all I want is to have Joshua alive again so I can kill him slowly and painfully for what he did to my mate.I don’t want to leave her alone, especially not in that room of horrors, so I toss the mattress over the banister and let it drop three stories while I go back into the bedroom and grab the box spring. I do the same with it, grabbing the bedding on the way and tossing all of it over the banister before coming back to pull Margot in my arms.She hasn’t moved a muscle, as if she’s unable make her body leave this place where she suffered so much.“Is there anything else we need to see on
