Libby POVElpseth took one look at me sitting across her Mum at the breakfast table and pulled me outside for girl time. I was currently pushing her on the swing as she chatted to me about Harry and how baby Angel likes to wake up a lot at night time. It didn’t take long for Rex to join us and I was pushing them on the swings one at a time until Beth came out, offering to help.I liked being with the children, it was innocent general conversation as they gave me better insight into their little lives. They held no grudges towards me, only love…to them I was Auntie Libby.Ben was sitting nearby watching us, his eyes remaining on the four of us as we giggled amongst ourselves.“He seems uncomfortable…How is he?” I whisper to Beth. Ben was sitting the end of a sun lounger, his fingers rubbing at his temples. He didn’t like being here, he felt open and exposed. “He wants to leave, for us to move again.” Beth replies as she pushes Rex higher, at his request. “Where will you go?” I follow

Pierce POVShe glares at me, I think if her wolf was more present she would claw at my face. Something I secretly get excited about for the future, she would be a feisty Luna and I would have fun bringing her true self out. “You don’t realise what you just did.” She seethes at me. “I do, now pack your bag.”“Pack my bag?” Anger remains in her posture as her arms cross defensively but a flicker of worry enters her face for a second. She thinks she got away with it, but she hasn’t. I saw the fear behind her angry facade. “You’re coming home with me, back to my pack.” I adopt a more gentle approach. “Hang on a minute…” Reuben interjects.“This isn’t up for discussion Reuben, she is mine…”“Why don’t we ask what Libby wants Pierce, maybe she isn’t ready just yet. Libby, do you want to go to Pierce’s pack?” Evelyn pushes past Reuben, now standing next to Libby, baby Angel still in her arms. She could take on a pack with a baby in arms and still win. “I want to go home…” Her eyes might

Libby POV“Again.” Reuben roars encouragingly as if I were one of his warriors. “I need a break!” Every part of my body ached, I could already feel bruises forming under my clothing.“You’ve had 18 years of break, you need to train.”“I just need a break…” I seethe through gritted teeth, I wasn’t saying I wouldn’t continue, only that I needed a break. “No, no break until I say so. Again!”Reuben was being a dick and this wasn’t our first day of training together. It’s not like I’m not trying, I was pushing my body to the maximum…as well as a certain someone gaining more and more power over me.It had been 3 days since Ben, Beth and Anwir left, 3 days of intense training. I ran 5 kilometres each morning before commencing hand-to-hand combat with Reuben. All this whilst under the watchful eye of Pierce. He ran with me each morning which as my favourite part, just the two of us. Then my mood would sour when Reuben arrived into the garden with training equipment.I wasn’t born to fig

Libby POVMy eyes slowly open and as soon as they do, I wish they hadn’t. The dull ache that hits my body quickly reminds me of my training with Reuben.I slowly sit up, my hand stroking at my temples trying to undo the tension headache that has formed. She was gaining more and more power over me. Inch my inch she was worming her way through that psychological barrier. She had pushed through during training with Reuben, her strength even shocking him.I can’t let that happen again.I reach down to grab my backpack from under the bed, to pull out my phone and turn it on. As I wait for a notification to come through, I’m disappointed to yet again not hear from Father. He was starting to really piss me off, the man could hold a grudge that was for certain.I open a new text message, typing Natascha’s number in from memory, I knew her number off by heart.“It’s Libby, I need more.” I press send knowing that as soon as I do she would need to meet up with me for a drop off.“Already?” Her

Libby POVI wake up to find myself entangled in Pierce’s arms, his warm breath hitting my ear as he spoons me from behind. His arms tightly grip around my torso and I would be mortified in waking like this, if I hadn’t had the best night’s sleep in a long time. I wasn’t cold laying next to him. He had a similar body heat as Ben, not that I ever found myself entangled in Ben’s arms. But he did offer me friendly cuddles when my caravan was making me cold. I have to admit, being in Pierce’s arms made me feel…safe and secure. My body clock was used to the early morning starts, I don’t think that will ever change now. Even though we talked into the early hours…my body still woke up at the crack of dawn. I turn in his arms to look at his gorgeous dark features. His long eyelashes would envy most, I hadn’t realised just how long they were. I run my fingers across his facial stubble which was abrasive against my finger tips as I stroke his jaw line. He lets out a moan in his sleep from m
