Brad's POVJade came back into the dining room, looking spooked. I watched as she went back to her seat, adjusting her chair so that she and Conan were pressed together.She leaned closer to him, his arm brushing her high, firm breasts but neither of them seemed to mind.She whispered something to him and he nodded while placing a tendril of her hair that had escaped its bun behind her ear."Babe?"I turned to Trisha who was looking at me, with her eyebrows raised in question."What?" I asked her, my voice unnaturally rough. Her eyes flicked downward and I followed her gaze to see that I was clutching onto my knife hard enough that my knuckles had begun to whiten."Are you okay?" She asked."Yeah, I'm fine," I said as I released my grip and forced myself to smile at her. "Are you okay?" I asked in return."I'm fine, but I'm beginning to feel nauseous," she replied.I raised an eyebrow at her. "I thought morning sickness only happened in the morning."She let out a shrill laugh that gra

JadeStartled, I turned to look at Brad, who quickly hid the glare he had been throwing our way under a mask of subtlety."Yes, Alpha." Conan's voice was cool, calm and collected, the very opposite of how I felt at that moment.Despite the fact that he had assured me that Brad wouldn't retaliate, I was worried for several reasons.One, Brad was still Alpha and Conan was his subject and Beta. I wouldn't put it Brad to try and make Conan's life miserable as much as he can.Two, I was worried about what the events of the night meant for my plan. Trina's announcement of her pregnancy had thrown a wrench in things. I had been already battling feelings of guilt over my plan as it would wreck Trina's and Brad's relationship. As annoying and irritating they might both be, mates were a sacred thing for any wolf, and here was I, about to disrupt the mate bond between them. A baby only made things worse, I didn't know if I would be able to go on with the plan, now that an innocent child was invo

Jade'Mummy?'I opened my eyes and saw nothing but complete darkness.'Mummy.'I hurriedly stood up and whirled around, still seeing nothing but darkness. 'Nathan?''Mummy!''Natalie?!'My heart began to pound ferociously in my chest as I switched my sight to the wolf's.I screamed out in frustration when I still saw nothing.'Nathan?! Natalie?! Natasha?!''C'mon, babies. Where are you?'Natasha's sweet high voice was faint when she said, 'Mummy, where are you? I miss you mummy.''I miss you too, my darling. So very much. Please, please, tell me where you are.'Silence.'Natalie?'I waited again, but there was nothing but silence. Tears began tumbling down my cheeks as I stumbled around in the darkness, calling out for my children'Nathan? Natalie? Natasha? Please, my babies, answer me. Where are you?''Jade.''Conan?''Jade, wake up. Please, babe.''Conan, my children! I can't find them!''Jade.'My eyes opened and the harsh glare of fluorescent light made me close them back."Jade

Jade"Jade!" The Voice yelled out again.I frowned, the voice sounded like Helene, but I wasn't certain. I wondered how whoever it was had gotten into my apartment, and then I realized it must have been due to Brad breaking in or picking the lock.Just one more thing to not forgive him for. I thought to myself as I looked over at him to see him still sitting, looking at the door warily as though he expected another rogue to come barreling in.So much for being an Alpha. I thought as I rolled my eyes.Against my better judgment, I called out to the stranger. "Helene! Is that you? The voice grew louder and closer as she replied, "Yeah, dumbass! Who else would it be?"My face split into a wide grin as her footsteps grew closer."Where are you?" She asked."I'm in the bedroom!" I called out back."Oh, my moon goddess! Helene, what are you doing here?" I squealed as she appeared at my bedroom door.She smiled cockily and a giant wave of home sickness hit me, and I didn't realize that I had

BradAs I exited Jade’s apartment, I looked back at the closed door as I remembered the wave of uneasiness that had crashed over me when her friend had walked into the room. At first appearance, she had looked like an ordinary ditzy blonde, but her eyes had held a glimmer of intelligence in them, and she had looked at me as though she could see right through me. It had made me highly uncomfortable, especially when in one second, she had looked like she was flirting with me and in the next, she had looked as though she was making fun of me. I remembered how she and Jade had given themselves coy looks, and decided to wave off what had happened in there as girls being just girls.Maybe Jade had told her about me. Could it be that she's interested in me? I thought to myself, as I walked down towards the car that I had parked on the other side of the road.My ears picked up a trace of mocking laughter coming from Jade's apartment, and my jaw clenched as I tried my best to ignore it, and wh
