KarenI couldn't believe what Oscar had just told me. The matter with my parents was sensitive, so I knew he wouldn't joke with it. I knew he went to see my father.  I could understand his statement, but my mother was dead. Was it that my father had a new wife?"What do you mean by parents, Oscar?" I asked Oscar, and he sat up in bed."Your father and mother want to see you. " he started, and I was confused, but I wasn't quick to speak."We had a meeting with your father. Gavin and I wanted to get to the bottom of what was happening and your father knew who the culprit was. Being the only coven in town and having been affected by the mess, you aunt Maria was invited too. The two could not stand each other. What we learned was that your mother became a vampire after your birth and your father allowed her to turn him so they could be together. Your aunt was to take care of you until they were able to take care of you but your aunt deci

KarenThe alarm went off, and we woke up. I showered and got dressed for the evening. Oscar said my parents could eat regular food and did not look or behave like vampires, so we decided to have a full dinner to help everyone relax before we got into talking.We dressed up, and I went downstairs. I noticed the butler at the door talking to someone, and the person sounded rude, and it was a woman's voice. He tried to prevent, her but she pushed past him and entered screaming, "Oscar, Oscar!".She had a belly which indicated she was pregnant, and she was angry. She saw me and looked at me with scorn."So you are the next one." She said, and I figured she was one of his mistresses. The woman was blonde, and she was pretty in a pregnant kind of way."Oscar! you have to see me now!" she yelled."What is your name and what is the matter with you?" I asked, a bit concerned because of her situation."It is none of your busine

KarenAfter dinner, we talked about so many things. My parents wanted me to visit them in their home and hoped Oscar and I would consider spending weekends with them. Oscar was not comfortable with their request, and it got to me."You don't have to, I can go on friday and return to you on sunday." I told Oscar, noticing his reluctance."Darling you can't do that," My mother cut in, " Werewolves can't be apart from their mates in the early stages of their union." She told me, and I looked at Oscar."Not even for a weekend?" I asked."Your love is still young and fresh, eventually he will be able to allow it but not now. The mark will burn if you try it now because his wolf would be anxious. Until you are fully luna and have given birth, you won't be able to stay away from each other for long out of fear of losing the other. The emptiness will be overwhelming." My father said, and I looked at him."Yes Karen, I study a lot."

OscarKaren spent the weekend with her parents as I promised. They were to return her in the evening. I couldn't wait to see her. My mother was yet to hear the news about Isabel, but we agreed to tell her when we got to the settlement. I had decided to move partially there with my mate. I knew I should propose to Karen, but I couldn't think of the right time to do so. A lot had been happening, and my pack had been withstanding a lot of attacks. Gavin and I had been investigating Macro Winehouse, and most of the things John Hunter told us about the man checked out. The guy Karen captured told us some disturbing things about McCain's dealings with Marco. He also gave us names of employees that were McCain's moles in my Corp. I intend to do a thorough cleansing soon. We did not want to move on them now, so we did not alert Marco. Gavin and I pretended to agree with his hypothesis to keep up appearances.I had a meeting with the hunters in the afternoon. I

Oscar,We got to the settlement, and I had the omega's carry our bags to my apartment in the packhouse. Karen was hugging herself, so I knew she felt out of place. I hugged her and kissed her, then ushered her into the packhouse. We were getting a lot of confused stares from the members around. I intended to introduce my mate to the pack once we settled in."Oscar I do not think coming her with me was a good idea. Do you see the looks they were giving me?" Karen asked. She had noticed the stares too."Don't bother your pretty head about them. They would have to deal." I replied, and she looked at me a bit worried."What if they don't?" She asked, and I didn't know how to honestly reply to that question because the last thing I wanted was to leave my mate in a town like my uncle Joseph did, simply because they couldn't have her around.I was about to respond when my phone rang. I checked and saw that it was Karen's father. I picked
