StephanieAbout a week after we spoke to my father, he sent me the revised will. Will and I looked it over then called my father.“Everything looks to be in order, Dad. Are you sure you still want me to be the executor of the pack and your estate? I don’t mind, but I want to make sure that’s what you want,” I say.“Unfortunately, Lysa and Elena have no sense of what is appropriate to spend money on. I’m worried that if I leave them money, they’ll spend it, then be destitute. If you are in charge of their finances, I know they’ll be taken care of for the rest of their lives.”“Alright, but you still didn’t have to leave such a large sum of money to our pups, Dad. This is exceptionally generous,” I say.“I have to agree, Alpha Steph. My pack isn’t poor, but the amount of money you’re leaving to our pups is considerable. Are you sure you don’t want to keep that money in your own pack, sir?” Will asks him.“This money is my money, earned over the years. In addition, Kayla came to our pack

ElenaI needed to meet my supplier and it had taken me too long to find a reason to get out of the pack so I could get what I needed. I certainly can’t have my stepfather getting better. I’ve been working too hard to make him sick.I grin as I take a sip of my vodka. On my way home, I stopped at a human bar where I’m sure no one I know will see me.It’s a slow process, but I’m a patient person and it’s working. Between the poison I’m giving Steph and mom fucking his brains out, he’s deteriorating slowly but in a way that's obvious to everyone around him. So it should be completely plausible when he dies of natural causes while having sex with my mother.I didn’t spell that part out to her, but of course, the heart attack has to be brought on by strenuous activity. I’ve watched him during warrior training lately, he’s not actively sparring anymore, so it will have to be sex that ‘kills’ him.I’ve been slowly dropping hints around the pack about my stepfather’s ailing health and the need

WillOver the next week, Stephanie and I became very busy as we began preparing the room beside ours as a nursery. I never really thought about the extra door that my parents had in their bedroom, until I realized that it adjoined to the next room.It had been locked most of my life to keep anyone from coming in that way, but it makes sense now. We can have a nursery attached to our bedroom. When I asked mom about it, she said that’s exactly why they didn’t remove the door when I got older. They left it for me so I could make the adjoining room a nursery and Stephanie and I will do the same once our pups are grown, leaving the door there for our heir.I warned Edward and Gerald that I’d be taking evenings off from now on unless there is an emergency that requires my attention. Every evening after dinner, Stephanie and I have been working to create the perfect space for Kayla. We started by painting the walls a pale blue. I had Stephanie begin searching for baby furniture while I painte

WillI knew the call to Steph, where he refused to speak to Stephanie, really upset her. She felt like she’d done the right thing by going to the people she trusted in the pack. Honestly, their response to her had been very disturbing. It was almost as if they wanted to say something, then changed their mind, like maybe they were nervous.After hearing Steph in the background saying he didn’t want to talk to Stephanie, it made me wonder if their fear was of him. I’ve been assuming that Elena was up to something, but perhaps the real issue is Steph. I know stress can take a toll on an Alpha and Steph has said multiple times that he didn’t realize how much work Stephanie took off his plate, but the difference in him is significant.It makes me wonder what he was like after Stephanie’s mom died. Was he angry like this? Did the pack begin to fear him? Nothing about what’s happening in that pack is good.After holding my mate while she cried, I took her up to our room and told her to take s

WillI’ll give my mate credit, she’s a trooper. Bedrest, especially for an active Alpha like she is, can’t be easy. True to her word, she hasn’t complained and she doesn’t do more than the doctor says she can do. I’m sure her constant spotting and light bleeding are a reminder to how close she came to losing Kayla.The pack has been amazing. They make her favorite foods and take turns spending time with her. My mother sits with her when I can’t be there or when she’s resting so she’s rarely alone.After Dr. Reynolds released Stephanie, I contacted our friends to let them know what happened.“I can’t say it’s because of everything going on with Steph, but it was after he said he didn’t want to speak to her that this happened. The stress in her had been building for a while, but that pushed her over the edge.”“Has he tried to reach out to her since then?” Roman asks.“No, and I haven’t reached out to him either. Frankly, I’m irritated with him for what he said to Stephanie. I don’t want
