SamaraI’m dreading talking to Sloane and Slade. Slade is too young to understand, but I feel like Sloane already knew what was coming.Roman knocks on the door before we step inside. Sloane is sitting on the floor with Aria in one arm and Slade beside her. She’s got her other arm wrapped around him while they cry.“Are you going to kill us too?” she asks.“No, sweetheart,” I say, dropping to the floor to make myself less intimidating. Roman crouches down beside me, watching them.“Why? Why did you kill them?” Sloane asks, her voice quivering.“She and your father betrayed our family and our pack. I’m so sorry sweetheart. She betrayed her wolf, Gillian, too. Gillian begged me to end her life, to let her find her fated mate, the one your mother rejected,” I say as her tears come faster. I'm unwilling to tell her that her mother killed her fated mate.Aria begins sliding out of her arms and I reach out to catch her but Sloane snatches her away.“I’m not going to hurt you, Slade, or Aria.

SamaraAs exhausted as I was, I couldn’t fall asleep until Roman was curled around me. Then we’d both fallen into a deep sleep.I was awakened to my mate’s hands sliding over my hip, his hard length pressed against my back, and his lips on my neck, nibbling and kissing me awake.“Mmm, now this is my idea of how to wake someone up early,” I murmur, arching and pressing my backside against him.“It’s been nearly twelve hours since I’ve been inside you, my love. Time for me to rectify that,” he says, sliding his hand between my thighs and growling when he finds me soaking wet for him already.“Feels like I’m not the only one who is desperate for me to be inside you,” he says, biting my earlobe and sending waves of heat through my body as his fingers begin rubbing circles on my clit.“Roman,” I moan pressing my hips against his hand.“Are you going to come for me before I slide inside you, Samara?” he asks, his voice a deep, rumbling purr that I can feel vibrating against me, making my bod

SamaraMy emotions are all over the place on the way to the pack hospital. First, I can feel Roman’s excitement about me possibly being pregnant with his pup. I love how protective he already is and he doesn’t even know if I’m pregnant.And I’m excited too. The idea of having Roman’s pup makes me very happy. But the timing couldn’t be worse. We’ve just killed Sawyer and Althea, taken on their pups as our own, one of which is a newborn, we have a pack of people that need assurance that they are safe, and we still have an Alpha and his pack that we need to deal with. And now, I might be pregnant.Roman stops, turning me to face him. “We will get through it all, Samara and we’ll do it together. You’re not alone anymore. I’m not going anywhere. I’m excited to start our life together. Could things be a bit easier? Yes. But you and I have been working towards the goal of avenging your family for nine years. I’m not sure what you expected to happen after you killed Sawyer, but I’ve known that

SamaraWhen we got to the Alpha floor after leaving the pack hospital, we saw that Sawyer and Althea’s bedroom door was ajar. When we stepped in, we quietly gestured for Luna Devi to step out into the hallway with us.“Sloane?” Roman asked when she was in the hall with the door partly closed again.“Yes. She was afraid that someone might take her parents’ things and destroy them before she could get what she wanted. She’s struggling, the poor dear, but she’s trying hard to hold herself together.”“Thanks for being here with her, Luna. I know that can’t be easy,” I say.“Easier than it is for her, I’m sure,” she says, looking over her shoulder.“While we have you alone, Mom, Samara and I wanted to tell you something. We haven’t seen dad yet, but I’m not sure when we can all be alone together at once, so while we have you,” he says, looking at me and wrapping an arm around me.Luna Devi gasps. “You’re pregnant?” she whispers excitedly.“I’m pregnant!” I whisper back, the tears from earli

SamaraEverything about the last two days has been overwhelming. Even Alpha Sterling had seemed like it was all too much. We’d been standing, holding each other in my father's old office when Luna Devi mind linked me to see if I could help her with the pups. Alpha Sterling came upstairs with me and while he played with Slade, Luna Devi showed me how to change Aria and give her a bottle. The moment I sat down in that rocking chair and watched Aria suckling on the bottle, something inside me flipped.No matter how terrible things are right now, no matter how much I have suffered, how much so many people have suffered because of what Althea and Sawyer did, Roman and I have produced something good, something beautiful. This baby inside me feels like the start of a change in our lives, the start of something positive that will shift us away from all the bad things that have happened. This little pup in my belly is hope for a better future. And when Roman came into the room, I could tell he
