Semua Bab Alpha's Dirty Secrets: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Rayne sensed an inner resolve in Dayton as they sat at the large dining table eating breakfast with the Alpha and his heavily pregnant mate Lacey. Nors and Ashleigh were sitting a little further down the table. She knew the other couple had a child, a hybrid little boy with a scent that teased her and begged her to come to him. The boy was absent from the table and she knew it was because his parents didn't quiet trust them. It didn't offend her, she would do the same if she had young and was concerned about them.It was probably just as well the child wasn't there because it meant she could focus more fully on the growing hardness she sensed deep inside Dayton. The other emotions were still there but something was starting so supersede them, something very worrying. On the outside he looked calm but on the inside she could feel a growing hate which had the power to take over and destroy her friend completely.She knew he'd spoken to Ashleigh before breakfast. She had considered follo

Rayne swallowed hard to stem her tears and smiled tremulously at the faces surrounding her. "I'm Rayne and I've waited a lifetime to meet you," she whispered. The words came from deep within her soul and she knew them to be true. These children... she'd walked the world a thousand times over looking for them."Well, now you've found us," Lily smiled happily. "Welcome home, Rayne. Do you want to play now?"Laughter bubbled up, deep, wonderful, joyous laughter that came from her soul. "I would love to play," she laughed setting down Liam and entering the room fully.*****Lacey sighed with relief and looked down at the two adorable little boys lying between her and Rafe in the now calm bedroom. She knew she'd been lucky that the birthing had been relatively quick, only four hours from start to finish. Jen's had lasted three times that long and her friend had been exhausted at the end of it.She felt tired but not so tired that she couldn't gaze in wonder at the new life she had brought

Rayne felt all eyes on her and there was nothing friendly in any of them. She knew if she moved even a fraction of an inch the adults would descend on her instantly. She could have shadowed herself but the room wasn't big enough to hide in. They would know her start position and with so many of them they would quickly be able to triangulate her position even if they couldn't see her.Liam started to cry loudly and the other children did too. He wriggled against Nors, his crying becoming louder as his father held him easily to prevent him getting away."No!" he sobbed. "Don't hurt, Rayne."Lily ran to her father and threw herself into his arms. His fangs were out and he was in that very angry place where he sometimes forgot who he was. She hugged his neck tightly. "Please, Daddy. Don't let them hurt her," she begged.Andrei stared at his daughter his arms automatically coming around her as she pleaded with him with tear filled eyes. His instinctive need to protect soothed a little, giv

It was Aaron who relaxed first. He trusted Dayton implicitly, knew his brother would do nothing that could even remotely cause any harm to his children or the pack. "She's claiming to be a Vampire/Were hybrid," he told his brother, disbelief about that still in his voice.Dayton's eyebrows rose in surprise and he turned back to Rayne to meet her steady gaze. "So that's what you are," he breathed softly.She gave him a slightly tremulous smile, a spark in her eyes as she looked at him. "I think so," she admitted quietly. "I'm not sure until I learn the history of the first Vamp/Were mating but the timing is right, Day." She couldn't keep the hope out of her voice or the uncertainty out of her eyes."It explains a lot," he smiled at her, reaching out to touch her cheek gently, feeling the need to soothe her deep within him. "All your non Were abilities, the advanced speed and healing properties you have. That's why you didn't mind staying at the compound. It was because of the children.

The hardness in his eyes softened and he released her, leaning back against the tree trunk as she dropped her hands from around his neck and stroked them slowly over the silk of his black shirt. The glow receded from his eyes though the naked desire remained. "For a moment I thought you'd been foolish enough to mate with a wolf," he drawled softly, his expression making it perfectly clear that he wouldn't have been happy with that scenario."Wolves don't know how to play," she quipped lightly, rising gracefully to pad lightly along the branch to its narrowest point."Just as well because I don't share my toys," he said softly, his voice full of possessiveness, his eyes boring into her back.Rayne laughed softly, looking over her shoulder at him and smiling. "But you do play with them?" she asked mischievously as she stepped off the branch and plummeted downwards.Gard moved so fast he blurred, leaping from the branch only to find his cat perched on one lower down. She looked up at him
