And that's a wrap folks! What do you think of the mess Henry has made for himself?
Henry“Tell me again why we’re stopping at the Academy, Henry?” Justine asks from the seat beside me.I’ve spent the last several months courting her, getting to know her, and deciding if she would be a good fit for my pack as my chosen Luna. I had hoped to find my fated mate, but as the years have gone by, I’m running out of time. And not just me, if my mate is close to my age, her childbirth years are limited. The Alpha in me is feeling a powerful need to create an Alpha heir and to create one soon.I met Justine when I went back to visit my mother’s pack several months ago. She’s in her late twenties and hasn’t yet met her mate. We hit it off right away and before I left, I made plans to visit again the following month.I did, and once again, we had a great time together. The following month, I came back and stayed for a week, taking Justine away from the pack for a few days so we could spend some alone time together. While we don’t have the fireworks that my brother and the Hills
YorickFour Months LaterLife has been as difficult as Cyra and I expected it to be. Our pace is grueling, made more so because of Cyra’s pregnancy. Alpha Nevaeh has been incredible, working with us to make sure we didn’t fall behind in our studies. I know it’s a lot harder for Cyra, her body has changed a lot over the past few months and even after the nausea ended, she still suffered with more fatigue than usual.However, having to be excluded from sparring has allowed her to become more knowledgeable of the pack’s management. While I attend sparring class every day, pushing myself harder and harder to ensure a place on the C-Squad, Cyra uses that time to work with my father. It’s amazing to me what she’s learning and how quickly she’s picking it up. I see it in her discussions with me each night when we talk about our day, but I also see it in our afternoon classes. She has more insight than I do about how the things they are teaching us could impact a pack.When we spoke to Alpha N
CyraPregnant?“You said I’m pregnant?” I ask. I was confident that I wasn’t pregnant because of my two negative pregnancy tests.“Yes, you are,” Luna Yara says, smiling at me.I look at Yorick, huffing out a small laugh. “We’re going to have a baby?”I watch that beautiful, sexy smile spread across his face.“We’re going to have a baby,” he growls, then he leans over my belly. “Do you hear that baby? We know you’re in there now,” he says, making me laugh. I slide my fingers through his hair as he leans his face against my stomach. Thad begins purring loudly as if calling our baby to him.Luna Yara chuckles. “You’re going to have to give me some space, Thad. I want to see if Cyra is following the Hill tradition of having multiples on the first go.”My mind immediately begins spinning with everything that this means. Yes, things are more settled, but Yorick and I have so much that we still need to accomplish in the next year. A pregnancy is going to add to that already. A pregnancy of m
YorickAfter Stellan’s court hearing, Cyra and I went back to campus.“It’s done. It’s finally done!” she says.“Good, now you can relax. You haven’t been sleeping, you haven’t been eating, I can feel how upset you’ve been all week. I don’t like my mate being so stressed.”“There was no way around it, Yorick, you know that. But now, it’s done. Now we can focus on our pack, our studies, getting you on the C-Squad, and starting our lives together.”“Mmm, I like the sound of that,” I tell her.Since I know she’s been so stressed this week, I tuck her beside me on our loveseat while we study. But the next day, she still wakes up feeling queasy.“Baby, you have to relax,” I murmur in the morning, still holding her against me in bed.“I know. I thought I would feel better today, but maybe it’s going to take a couple of days. So much has happened so quickly,” she says.We get through our Friday classes, then say goodbye to Landon and Lila, wishing them a good visit with Landon’s family.“I ex
PiperJealousy. There’s no other word for it. I’m jealous. I mean, I’m happy for Lila. I really am. She’s great and what she did for Cyra was incredibly difficult. It says a lot about her integrity and honor.But when she and Landon walked up and her scent was smothered with his, I felt the spike of jealousy. I’m not proud of it, but there it is.‘We’ll find our mate one day, Piper. And when we do, he’ll want the world to know we’re his just as much as Landon wants everyone to know that Lila is his,’ my wolf, Fallon, says.‘I shouldn’t be jealous, Fallon. It’s beneath us,’ I say.‘Wanting our mate is an acceptable reason to be jealous.’ My wolf, always the voice of reason.I watch as Stellan loses his shit while Landon practically devours Lila beside me. By the time Landon releases her, the Alpha Squad has forced Stellan to his knees. I don’t feel bad for him. He did this to himself and from everything that I know about Lila, she deserved a much better mate than Stellan.When he’s done
LilaWhen Landon received the call that we were needed in court, I was terrified. He felt it immediately, and took my face in his hands.“You’re not going in there alone, not now. You’re mine. He can’t take you from me. He’s done a lot of stupid things in his short life, and Alpha Cyra may disagree with me, but taking you for granted was the most stupid thing he could have done. How could anyone not love and treasure the beautiful woman that you are. And I don’t just mean on the outside. I mean you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, but you’re just as beautiful on the inside. So fucking gorgeous and all mine.”He presses against me until my back hits the wall. “I mean, what sort of man doesn’t want to know that his mate is ticklish right here,” he purrs, stroking his fingers over the part of my waist that makes my body shiver.He’s watching me as he touches me, his eyes getting dark. “What sort of man doesn’t want to hear his mate catch her breath when he strokes his thumb ov
