BLAIR“You know.” I said to dad. There was no uncertainty in my voice because I knew damn well what I was talking about.I give him credit for not denying as he lifted his head in a nod. My mouth hangs open in shock and I turn in my seat to glare at him.“What?!” The yell slips past my lips before I could control it. “Why didn’t you tell me?”I asked incredulously. I was feeling a tightness in my chest. A feeling I could only describe as betrayal fills me. I couldn’t believe it.Really, who does that? To their own child!“I only found out recently.” Dad said in his defense but that wasn’t a good enough reason. And he knows that too because he adds. “And I know I should have told you, but what difference would it have made? You’re what, seven months along?”He motioned pointedly to my obvious bump. I scoffed, rolling my eyes. I was still upset and I felt betrayed. I would think mum would keep something like this from me, her idea of protection. But dad? He trusts me. He always believes
BLAIR“How did you know the walk was going to be short for me?” I asked the girl when we stopped outside a large abandoned looking warehouse. The doors looked like they were once a blue color but now, they were a lot in hues of white dust and dark brown.“Because I made it short of you.” I looked over my shoulder, looking for my dad. He wasn’t close to us. “Don’t worry they’ll be here in a bit. I think there is someone inside you’ll be more interested in seeing.”“Lucian.” I said, huffing out a breath. She nodded and motioned for me to walk ahead of her.The doors opened as soon as I was close enough, thankfully. I didn’t want to touch it even with a ten foot pole.Warmth enveloped me the second I stepped foot inside the building. I didn’t understand how a place that looked like it was going to be cold from outside would be this warm. Then I looked up and it all made sense.There were many girls, similarly dressed to the one that escorted us, sitting in a circle. They all had somethin
BLAIRI stared at myself in the mirror, turning from left to right to make sure the dress fit perfectly. Wait, I know the dress fits perfectly. But I wanted to be double sure. Okay, triple sure. Fine, the millionth time sure.Tonight has to be perfect.“B, you look great from all angles.” Mikayla says while chuckling.I startled a little at the voice I wasn’t expecting. I totally forgot I was on a call with her and Sasha and Jaya.“Kayla is right, B.” Jaya is the one that said that. “You’re making me rethink my sexuality right now.”I breathed in and out slowly.“Give me one more twils mama. That ass looking thiccc.” I rolled my eyes at Sasha but did as she said.The girls all hooted and clapped when I did that, which made me laugh. My girls are literally the best hype women out there.“Okay guys, wish me luck.” I said as I went to pick up the tab, I’d positioned it on a shelf where they could see everything I wanted to show them well.“Hope you get laid tonight.” Mikayla says with a
BLAIR “Wow.” The loud exhale made me turn around. Lucian was standing at the door, dressed in a tux with his hair gelled back and looking so hot. And the look in his eyes, the way he was watching me like he wanted to ravish me. It made my lower belly pool with desire and I couldn’t wait for us to get back so he could tear this dress off. “I can’t wait either.” He says against my lips. He got close so fast, thanks to his werewolf speed. It really came in handy most of the time. “You look better than the moon and stars, my love.” I had to clench my thighs when he said that. Those were simple words that have been said a million times. But somehow, when Lucian says ‘my love’ it sounds like the best words to have ever been said in the world. Even better than the words of the angels. “If we don’t leave, I’ll probably undress you and have my wicked way with you.” I stared into Lucian’s dark eyes and nodded, agreeing with him. “If we don’t leave. I’ll let you undress me and have your
BLAIRPREGNANTI shuddered and moved back from the strip sitting on the bathroom counter.My entire world stops just then.I place my hand on my chest, pressing my hand on my wild beating heart. It sounds like it wants to leave my ribcage.My breathing comes out in short pants. I grip the edge of the counter with my other hand, so tight that my knuckles started to whiten.I shook my head, getting rid of the haziness and chanced another glance at the test kit. The words are still spelled out.Pregnant!Almost like it is screaming at me. Telling me to see the end of my life in those bold letters.I pinch my hand, just to be sure that I am awake and not dreaming, or hallucinating.The sting from the pinch barely registers in my mind.I am here. That just happened.My fingers shook terribly as I turned the faucet on and splash water on my face.Once. Twice, but it is not enough to pull me from this nightmare.“This can’t be happening.” I whisper to myself.Looking up at the mirror, my ref
BLAIRI’m woken up by the shrill ringing of my phone.My eyes feel heavy and my body heavier. I snuggle my pillow closer, having no intention of picking up the phone.Whoever is calling should know not to wake any living being up before ten on a Saturday. That should be a crime against humanity.I throw my hand from side to side until I palm the phone. Meaning to switch the annoying device off.I must have mistakenly sent it to voicemail because Mikayla’s loud voice fills the small bedroom.“Where are you, Blair?! I have been calling you for the past hour. Call me back as soon as you get this. It is very urgent.”I prop one eye open at the sound of Mikayla’s voice. If it was Sasha, I would have passed it off for her being her usual dramatic self. Kayla hates leaving Voicemails because she thinks she always sounds weird.It must be really important.With a heavy sigh, I throw the comforters off my body and push myself up. My eyes are a bit groggy from sleep and tiredness from last nigh
LUCIANI don’t know why I decided to look for her.I never see a woman twice. One I met in a club no less but something about her draws me in, and I’m weak against my baser instincts.‘She might be ours.’ My wolf says in my head.I shake my head, not wanting to get our hopes up.I have been looking for my mate, my fated mate for the past ten years, since I turned eighteen.The year every werewolf looks forward to because you have the ability to sense your mate.I’d been so confident I would find her during the first full moon but nothing. Same with the second and before I knew it, I was counting the years, not months anymore.Many insisted I should just give up and picked a chosen mate instead but I decided to wait it out for my fated one first.Wolves, especially from the alpha bloodline, can choose a mate when they don’t find their fated. I was never interested.I was born from two mates, and I saw how much they loved each other. I wanted something similar to what my parents have.W
BLAIR “Yes mum,” I say into the phone, keeping my eyes trained on the mirror in front of me. My fingers move deftly in my hair, twisting back and forth as I try to braid my hair. I curse softly when I miss a step and tangle the strands all together. “Are you listening to me?” Mum’s soft voice comes over the speaker. I drop my hands from my hair and sigh. “Yes,” I replied, even though I had no idea what she was saying for the past ten minutes. “Now that I’m sure you’re paying attention. Your father said he would send the jet since you’re coming with Mikayla and Sasha.” She pauses like she usually does in between sentences. “And Blair, please, come straight home and don’t pull any of your ‘pranks’.” The ‘prank’ was said with so much force it made me want to laugh. I catch myself just in time and nod to the orders, before it clicks in my head and I reply with a soft yes. She wishes me a safe trip and hangs up. The three beeps that follow are music to my ears.
