Chapter 21

Chapter 21Excited but also doubtful, I look at myself in the bathroom mirror. I have just finished my hair and make-up, and I stand on my toes to see as much of my body as possible in the mirror. Doubts strike, is the dress not too much?Oh, what the heck. I spray some perfume and put on my shoes. Because I hardly ever wear them, it always takes some getting used to. I carefully walk down the stairs. "Oh, you look beautiful," Beth says as I enter the kitchen. Claire is sitting in her chair, enjoying some soft carrots. At least that's the idea, I think there is more in her hair and face than in her mouth. I chuckle. "Thank you," I say.Just as I’m about to tell Beth one more time what time she’s supposed to get her bottle and what her evening routine is, I hear someone whistle behind me.“Well, hello.” It’s Bruce, and I turn around with a smile. “Hello to you, too.” I feel a little overdressed, but he looks well-dressed nonetheless. He’s wearing dark jeans and a light blue blouse, the

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 - Dex. Pov.It took all my self-control not to pull Lilly out of Bruce’s hands and charge at him. You don’t have to be a psychic to know what they were planning. The smell of Lilly’s arousal was like a slap in the face the moment Bruce opened the door. Drake is still growling in my head, trying to push me to go after them. The thought of Bruce touching her like that is driving him crazy. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a hard time with it myself.I know I need to let him out, to run it out. But honestly, I don't know if I can trust him not to go right after them. Hell, it's taking everything in me not to go after them myself and make sure he can never touch her again.I take a few deep breaths, trying to get myself under control. When the feeling starts to go away, I look to the side, in the direction they went. I don’t see them anywhere. I wonder where Bruce is taking her.The urge to go after them is growing stronger and stronger, and I remind myself several time

Chapter 23

Chapter 23Bruce walks me back to the B&B. He stops me before I can walk in. I'm about to thank him for the lovely evening when he says, "I hope despite Dex's.... Interruptions... you still had a nice evening." I smile and place a hand on his chest. "I did. Thank you." I kiss his cheek, and he places his hands on my hips, and I step closer."I know he can be a bit much, but he means well." He says apologetically, and I can't help but roll my eyes. "Don't worry about him. Worry about us." I say with a playful smile. I feel the urgent need to convince him that I don't care what Dex says or does, that the only ones who matter are the two of us. I don't know who I need to convince more, him or me.“I wasn’t aware that there was anything to worry about.” He responds, gently pulling me closer. He nuzzles my ear, and I feel his breath tickle my neck. “No, not yet,” I say softly, a shiver running down my body at his touch, or rather, what I think is coming. My hands naturally slide up his che

Chapter 24

Chapter 24By the time I get back downstairs, the others have arrived, and laughter can be heard from the kitchen. I smile when I hear Bruce laugh. Lucy talks to Claire in a high-pitched voice while feeding her small pieces of bread. Since Claire started eating solid food, she hardly wants anything else. At first, I was worried that she wouldn't get enough nutrition, but Beth assured me that it's perfectly normal for wolf pups to switch to solid food early. Fortunately, Claire is getting better and better, but I don't dare to give up her bottle feeding yet.After greeting everyone, I prepare Claire's bottle. I'm glad that she still drinks it well, so I know that she's started her day well. Just like her bottle before bed, then at least she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night because she's hungry. I'm glad that the broken nights are behind me."Good morning," Bruce says sweetly as he stands up to kiss me. I'm a little taken aback, it feels awkward to kiss him in front of his fam

Chapter 25

Chapter 25Claire seems to love being in the water, and she thoroughly enjoys the attention she gets. I am continually amazed at how friendly and welcoming everyone is here. Everyone feels so familiar so quickly, and it doesn't take long before I'm talking to everyone as if I've known them for years. It doesn't take long before Lucy's role in the pack comes up. Although they haven't officially announced it yet, most people know that Dex is going to choose her as his mate and that she will be the Luna of the pack.We sit together with a few girls while the little ones play in the sand next to us. The men are playing a game of beach volleyball, and I catch myself looking in their direction. Their bodies glisten in the sun from the sweat and water. It is a mouth-watering sight. Especially Bruce and Dex. The former gives me a smug grin as he catches me staring at his body for the umpteenth time.Next to me, I hear Lucy swooning over the moment Dex is going to mark her.I tell myself that

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 - Dex Pov.The only reason I agreed to go to the lake was so Lucy wouldn’t get suspicious. But what a mistake that was. It took all my strength to keep my eyes off her. It took even more effort not to rip Bruce’s hands off when he wrapped his arm around her beautiful, half-naked body. I lost all self-control when I heard Lucy speculating about Bruce marking her. Well, not everything, except for a broken nose, I didn’t hurt him, which I wanted to.The devastating look she gave me will haunt me forever. It’s not just her angry look that torments me. The way she looked at me when we first got word that an intruder had been spotted, she loved watching me giving orders. I bet it even turned her on.I’m starting to wonder if I made the right choice. It hurt me to see her panic like that. I couldn’t let her worries distract me, and I had to let Bruce deal with it."Alpha?!" Ronan pulls me out of my thoughts. "Everyone is on duty, Reece and Bruce are almost at the spot where the in

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 - Lilly's pov.I check my missed messages for the umpteenth time. I sigh in frustration. "Don't worry, honey," Beth says for the third time. "But they've been gone so long. What if something happened? What if it wasn't a lost hiker?" Claire follows my pacing from her playpen, clueless as to why I'm so restless. "They can handle it. Don't forget, they're werewolves, and pretty strong ones at that."Sighing, I collapse onto the couch. My thoughts drift to Dex, immediately followed by guilt as I think back on how attractive he was when he was giving orders in full Alpha mode. I should be thinking about Bruce, not my so-called mate, who's about to reject me.I force myself to think about Bruce, and for a moment, I succeed, but my thoughts automatically drift back to Dex. I give up and turn my attention to Claire, who's still watching me anxiously. She seems to sense something's wrong; she stretches out her arms, and I'm only too happy to lift her out of the box. Glad I can use h

Chapter 28

Chapter 28After an awkward silence, Lucy clears her throat. "Mom offered to bring your things," she says. "But if you'd rather do it yourself, one of the men can accompany you." I nod. "She doesn't have to go through all that trouble for me; I'll do it myself," I reply, looking at Bruce, assuming he'll be the one coming with me. "I'd love to help, but unfortunately, I have other commitments," he says, visibly annoyed that he has to be somewhere else. "I'll come with you," Dex says. "Ronan, Reece. I want you to find out where he is, if he's alone. I want to know everything you can find about him. When Lilly and I get back, we'll come back here, and Lilly can tell us all the details about him," he orders. "Lucy, if Lilly is okay with it, I want you to stay with Claire for the time being. The sooner we can pack up all her belongings, the sooner we can get back. Then I want you to go to the office and give instructions to the staff. If they see him, I want to know right away. Have securi

Chapter 29

Chapter 29 - Dex. Pov.It took all my strength to let her go, even though I knew it wasn't smart. Not that I regret it; quite the opposite. In a way, I'm even glad Drake took control. He was full of rage when she mentioned Bruce touching her. So much that I failed to maintain control. But when our lips met and I regained control, I didn't have it in me to stop. All I felt was want. Thankfully, Drake didn't push to complete the mating bond. But her body on mine, my hands on hers—everything felt good, it felt right. I could only agree with her statement that what we were doing shouldn't be, but even though I agreed with her words, I wanted nothing more than to please her. My cock responded to her moans. I already know it's my favorite sound. Knowing that I'm the one making it happen, desperate for the moment she moans my name. Her words only truly hit home when she says this can't happen again until I make a choice. I know she's right, and I hate it.I hate that I can't give in to my de

Chapter 30

Chapter 30 - Lilly’s Pov.Dex may have convinced the others that he's taking most of the shifts so their work wouldn't suffer, but I don't believe it. It irritates me, but at the same time, it gives me a warm feeling inside. Which immediately triggers a pang of guilt. I know he wants to keep it quiet for now, but I don't know if I can. I hate having to lie to Bruce and Lucy.I can still feel his lips on mine. And it's a wonder Bruce hasn't noticed anything, or at least pretends not to. Shouldn't he somehow notice what happened between Dex and me earlier? Shouldn't he smell something of Dex's scent on me? At least, I thought their sense of smell was that advanced. But maybe that only happens with prolonged intimacy. I make a mental note to ask Dex about that later. I'd rather ask Bruce, but if he doesn't, it'll just look suspicious. And I really don't want to hurt him. Certainly not when it comes to Dex rejecting me, even though he doesn't want to.Dex has just sent everyone away when
