Wsely I stepped out of the hospital's sliding glass doors, took my phone out of my pocket, and hit the speed dial to reach Jake. I proceeded to walk away from the hospital back toward the treeline. "Afternoon, Alpha?" Jake answered. "You on the way home yet?" He asked cheerfully. "No, Jake, everything ok your way?" I asked him, hoping he didn't pick up on my current stress level. "All is quiet and secure around here, except for the buzzards eating old Brett." He added with a chuckle. "How goes it with the fam?" "Where do I begin?" I said with a low growl. "Henry Stone is here. He knows about Bella, and he claims she is his mate. I want you to double the patrols on all our borders until further notice. Bella found her sister, through a safe home my mother operates only to discover she's strung out on meth. It's gonna be a few more days before we get home." "Whoa, wait, what?!" He asked, confused. "Slow down, Wesly." "Don't think about it too much, Jake, it will only give

Annabella If I had known all a girl had to do was take a bullet to get the kind of affection I've gotten over the last 48 hours, I may have considered it sooner. Minus the hole in my side and the forsaking pain, of course, being pampered by my mate has been blissful. I am concerned about Cat, though. I know Wesly and Layla think I have taken a ride on the coo-coo express, but I know I heard her, I felt her. 'Anna, I am still here. I will never leave you.' Cat tells me. 'Cat! I thought you were dead!' I exclaimed, opening my eyes. Wesly is asleep. I closed them again and put my face back in my cocoon. 'Where have you been?' 'Recovering, I stopped the bullet that was heading for our heart.' She tells me with pride. 'I didn't save us for nothing.' 'How, Cat? And how did you know they were in trouble?' I asked her rapidly. 'Never mind all the details. Annabella, you need to get up now.' She tells me very motherly. 'You've been lying in this bed beside our mate for over two da

Wesly Kota has told me for the past couple of days that he ain't liking this situation with Bella's sister at all. Though she has been cordial since Bella's ultimatum, she also makes it evident she still does not trust me behind a dime, turned sideways. I suppose if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't either. If she only knew some of the things I have done to her sister. My wolf, always on guard, is concerned that Maggie will eventually plant seeds of mistrust of us in Bella, especially since her wolf has begun to show signs of resurfacing, and Maggie and Bella have been spending more and more time together. The way I see it, that could never happen, either way it doesn't matter, a party of three will be heading back to Born Moon in the morning. Our bags are already backed and loaded in the SUV. We barely had enough room for it all. My sisters were kind enough to hook Maggie up with a complete wardrobe. Bella has an early appointment with Layla for one more ready-to-travel check-up

Wesly "Everything looks great." Layla is telling Bella as she gets dressed in the exam room. "Cat is doing a wonderful job helping heal you. It won't be long before you can shift. Give it a few more days." She paused a moment. "There's just one more thing I want to discuss with you both. Follow me to my office." We fall in behind Layla, and she leads us down the corridor. We take seats across from each other. "Is there something wrong, Layla?" I asked her, taking Bella's hand into mine. "No, nothing is wrong." She paused, looking between us. "Have you changed your mind about having pups right away?" "No," Bella and I both say. She nodded her head. "William and I discovered birth control pills aren't effective in our wolves when they mate." She chuckled, opening a drawer and pulling out a small white box. "Wayde was the result. I can give you a diaphragm and some spermicide." She tells Bella, demonstrating with a model on her desk. "you would insert them into your vagina bef

Annabella "Can I hold him?" Maggie asked Cindy about Jordan. Who already had me settle on the bed and instructed me to put my feet up. "Sure," Cindy says, handing the pup to Maggie. Maggie's eyes lit up with Jordan in her arms. I couldn't wait to see her as a mother. I never thought I would have such an opportunity. "You're a natural, sis," I tell her. I wasn't sure what I said to upset her, but tears welled in her eyes. "Maggie, what's wrong?" I asked her quietly. "I won't ever be a mother." She said sadly. I opened my mouth to question her further when Wesly, Lee, and Jake burst through the door, loaded down. I couldn't miss that Jake's eyes immediately went to Maggie with a smile. Nor the fact that she promptly frowned at him before turning her back, almost as if she was protecting Jordan from him. I thought I did see a slight blush cross her cheeks, but, it was gone quickly. Wesly comes over to the bed, feathers his hand across my forehead, and kisses my face. "How
