Alpha Doyle Over the last few days, I had spent time with Lena, and during that time I had never mentioned the fact that I knew that she was sleeping in her wolf form. Ever since that first night that Lena had been here, and I had gone to check on her and found her asleep in her wolf form on my bed. I had made a point of going to my room and checking in on her each night after that, and every time she had been asleep in wolf form. I will admit, it worried me. It hurt me to know that she distrusted me so much, that she felt she needed to sleep in her wolf form for her own protection. Now the day had arrived when the girls were leaving here to go back to their university dorm. They would head back after lunch and knowing that I could not be there to protect them if something was to go wrong was hard for me to fathom. I had had a difficult enough time letting my girls go when they had first decided to live on campus. But now it was even harder, I was going to be allowin

Storm The girls and I had been back on campus for three days now. Since we had been back, I had been trying to get back into the routine the girls and I had had before we ever went to the Celtic Moon Pack’s house, and I had met Alpha Doyle. But I had to admit, I was not having an easy time of it since we had been back. I was surprised that ever since I had arrived back on campus, Alpha Doyle was constantly on my mind. In an attempt to distract myself, I had ditched one of my classes the morning after we had gotten back from the pack house. While the girls had been in class, I had rung Winter and had a talk to her. I needed to let her know that I was still alive. I had filled her in on having found my mate and discussed with her my fears over being mated to an Alpha. Winter already knew I was terrified, but she had calmly talked to me about everything that was bothering me. We had scheduled another catch up call in a couple of days. I was glad I had her to talk to. I would be

Alpha Doyle I was too distracted to focus on pack work. Several times Sean had caught me zoning out. I was thinking too much about Lena and my girls. “Why don’t you just call her?” Sean asked. “I have, many times,” I replied. “No, you haven’t. You have been calling your daughters. You haven’t called Lena,” he replied. “I don’t have her number. And every time I call my girls, she will not get on the phone. She drives me crazy!” I replied, feeling at a loss over what to do about her. “Yes, I can see that. So, what do the girls have to say about it?” he asked, seeming to be quite happily amused by my current predicament. “Leah said to just give her time, so I will give her time,” I replied. “Well, I am sure Leah knows Lena well enough to offer up judgement on the situation. Just give her some time and let her know that you are there for her. Once she is comfortable, everything will be fine. She sure is a jumpy little thing

Storm The girls and I waited out in the lounge room watching television until the Omega’s called us in for dinner. I couldn’t help but feel as though Alpha Doyle was now angry with me over what had happened. And maybe he was. He was an Alpha, and they were notorious for being moody. But realistically, what had I done wrong? I had protected the girls. I had brought them home. I had notified Alpha Doyle of the situation. What else could I have done? Dinner tonight was more quiet this time around, than what it was the last time I was here. I sat at the table in silence. I spent more time pushing the food around on my plate than I did eating anything. My chest felt tight, and my stomach was in knots, and for some reason I felt like I was going to burst into tears at any moment. After a short while, unable to put up with feeling this uncomfortable for a moment longer, I excused myself and made my way upstairs, lugging my suitcase to the spare bedroom that Alpha Doyle had

Storm The next morning, I awoke to find Alpha Doyle laying on the other side of the bed. He had his head resting on the pillows he had piled up behind him, and he was just watching me. It was a little unnerving. As I lay there, everything from the previous day came back to me, and I found myself remembering how miserable I had been feeling the night before when he had walked out of the room without a word, and my heart ached once again. The feelings I had been feeling at the dinner table suddenly hit me full force once more. I don’t know how long Alpha Doyle had been laying there watching me for, but I felt unnerved and vulnerable under the intensity of his gaze. Plus, the way he had treated me yesterday only served to remind me of how my father used to treat my mother. Fate really was one cruel bitch! Climbing off the bed, I made my way into the adjoining bathroom. Shifting back into my human form, I wrapped a towel around myself before closing and locking t
