Lahat ng Kabanata ng Choosing her heart: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

I’m standing at the training grounds waiting for the remainder of our warriors to arrive. Tonight has been one thing after another and I’m ready for my life to calm down a little. My nerves feel like they have been short-circuted. I've never felt like this in my life. Everything I've done so far has felt right, but tonight; everything feels off. After a quick headcount, it looks like everyone is present. “Good evening, thank you all for joining me on such short notice. An attack has been made on Silver Crest. They have requested aid from us immediately and, as an ally, we will fight with them. We leave immediately. Be aware that there is a threat along the outside of our southern border and we must avoid that area on our way to Silver Crest. Let’s go!” Wolves around me roared to life, shifting quickly and preparing to head out. Kai was by my side in an instant, and Wyatt to his right. ‘Are you ready?’ Kai asked through link. Normally, we would howl to signal heading out, bu

“Can you say that again, but a little louder?” Wyatt croaked, my eyes snapping to his face. My heart skipped a beat hearing his voice. My lungs felt like the air had been sucked out of them and I couldn’t speak. I stared at his face and he gave me a lopsided grin, squeezing my hand. I laughed through my tears. He reached up slowly, wiping the tears from my face with his thumb. I leaned into his hand, still staring at his perfect blue-grey eyes. I stayed there, staring into his eyes, and enjoying the feeling of the bond for what felt like a lifetime. “You really scared us,” I tried to speak, but it came out as a hoarse whisper. He laughed, but winced in pain, one hand gripping his side while the other lifted the blanket covering his lower half, “I’m not sure I can move my legs.” I watched him focus on his toes, and then his legs, but nothing was moving. “Cami mentioned that the arrows were poisoned with some form of paralytic. They’re testing it now to find out the compo

Parker couldn't stand to be around me this morning... Not that I blame him. I can barely stand to be around myself. I was left feeling heartbroken. I never wanted to hurt anyone, let alone Parker. He was my mate, the man I loved and the man who loved me for me. I felt like a failure. Cami tried to link me this morning to check on me, but I don’t have the energy to go over what just happened with Parker, so I put my block up. Knowing her, at some point, she'd be banging on my door. I wanted to sleep the day away, but Helena needed me. Being a mom was everything to me, and I refused to fail her. After she woke up this morning and ate, we spent awhile doing some tummy time and playing with toys. Every time I looked at her, I saw Parker, and my heart broke all over again. Her little feet kicked as I took a toy, bringing it to her belly and then back up in the air. I leaned down, kissing her tiny head, “I will do everything in my power to be the best momma I can for you. No matter w

Parker just arrived back home and everything feels different with him. It’s like we’re strangers. He came straight in and scooped Helena up, not saying a word to me. His coldness towards me is tearing my resolve down, not that I don’t deserve it. “Can we talk?” he finally looked over towards me. I nodded and followed him out on our patio. He placed Lena down in her playpen and sat next to me on our lounger chairs. The momentary silence was peaceful. Hearing the birds chirping and the wind blowing calmed my growing nerves. “How are you holding up?” he questioned, looking towards me with a sad smile. I was slightly taken aback, expecting an entirely different start to this conversation. The fact that he was still worried about me made the guilt feel even worse. “I’m doing okay. Feeling a little lighter after a visit from Alex.” He tilted his head, offering a warmer smile, “That’s really good to hear.” This conversation wasn’t going the way that I expected at all. I

Felicity left me in a daze. She always did. Her touch was like ecstasy. I get a taste, and I want so much more. And finally, I felt her lips against mine. Every longing look, every dream, every touch; none of them could have prepared me for the real thing. I could have gotten drunk on her taste. The mate bond really messes with your head. When she walked into the building earlier, I sensed her immediately. It was hard to hold Dex back when we were in the office together. Her scent filled Kai’s office, making it hard to focus. But I haven’t been able to shake the feeling of dread since Felicity left on her mission. I’ve seen her fight. I have no doubt that she is going to kick some ass, but anything could happen out there. These people clearly don’t fight fair, hence my still paralyzed leg.‘Our mate is a fighter,’ Dex growled. I rolled my eyes. ‘That doesn’t mean I can’t worry...’ I’m pissed that my leg still isn’t working properly. The doctors said it should have w
