All Chapters of The One He Reclaimed: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

AmeliaWhen Jocelyn returned from saying goodbye to Remington, I could tell she was sad, sadder than usual when they separate.“Something changed when you were in your old pack, didn’t it?” I ask.“I’m falling in love, Amelia. I never thought I would. I never thought there would be a man who could make me love him after everything I’ve been through, but here Remington is, being absolutely perfect in every way.”“I’m really happy for you. You know this means we’re going to have to start thinking of an exit strategy for you, right?” I ask.“What do you mean?”“You can’t continue to do both jobs, Joc. Once you’re marked and mated, there’s no way Cassidy is going to be okay with this arrangement, and neither will you. Remington and Bram may force themselves to accept it for you, but that’s not fair to them and it’s not fair to you.”“What about you? What about the pack?” she asks.I shrug. "I got by before, and I will again. It’s not like I’m never going to see you again or that I won’t st

CalvinWhen Amelia arrives later that evening to walk with me, my head is spinning with everything Brooklyn told me earlier.While I hate using the walker that Dr. Caspian gave me, I know I’ll be able to walk for a longer period of time if I use it. So, I swallow my pride when Amelia comes and I grab hold of the walker.I can tell she’s surprised, but she doesn’t say anything.“Would you like to take a shower? I can help you and I brought some clothes for you. I doubt being in hospital clothing is making you happy,” she says.“Let’s see how I do on the walk. Although, I wouldn’t mind putting on some real clothes if we’re going outside,” I say.I suffer through the embarrassment of having her help me put pants on. At least I can put my own shirt on.By the time I stand to start our walk, I’m already feeling winded.“I hate being this weak,” I grumble.“I know it must be difficult. We’ll take it slow,” she says. “Three months is a long time to have been unconscious, but you’re an Alpha,

AmeliaAny time there is going to be a pack competition, our packs are in chaos. The excitement level in the pack stays higher than normal as everyone becomes more and more excited about the possibility of winning their own pack. As Alphas, we not only have to plan to be away from our packs, we have to work with the warriors who will remain to make sure they pack stays safe. After Koden got onto the pack last weekend, I’m not taking any chances.Most of my days are spent talking to Dutton and Lucas, preparing for our packs to be running on a skeleton crew and making sure that we have enough coverage so Koden can’t sneak into any of our packs. We included Remington on several calls as well, but since he also has to talk with the other Alphas and get the Watch Tower ready to monitor our packs, his time is limited.On top of everything else, Calvin regained enough strength that Dr. Caspian allowed him to return to the packhouse the night before we leave for the competition. I’d made time

Olivia“Are you sure you’re up for this?” I ask again.Rather than answer me, Olander leans in and kisses me. He’s been stealing kisses ever since I told him I was willing to complete our bond. Unlike Alexander, his kisses are sweet and gentle, although I have a feeling that when Rahl returns, my sweet, gentle mate might become a bit more passionate.I also know he’s being careful with me. He knows I’ve been through hell and he’s worried about me.“I love that you’re looking out for me, Liv, but I’m a doctor. I know how far I can push myself.”“Do you know what I know about you, Ollie?”I told him he could call me Liv if I could call him Ollie. He laughed and said no one had ever called him Ollie before.He wraps his arms around me, smiling with more love in his eyes than I ever saw in Alexander’s.‘There is no comparison, Liv. Ollie is nothing like Alexander.’As soon as Azure heard our nicknames for each other, she began using both of them.“What do you know about me?” he asks, searc

AmeliaI watch as Hunter leads Calvin over to where the other Alphas are talking and getting ready for the competition tomorrow. The excitement in the air is palpable which is why I questioned whether or not this was a good idea for Calvin.These weekends are exhausting for all of us, and Calvin is still recovering. But Dr. Caspian gave his approval, and Calvin feels like he’s ready to take this on, so I’m going to stand back, like I said I would, and let him figure it out for himself.“How are you doing, Amelia?” Sophie asks me softly.“I’m hanging in there, Soph.”“Are you?” she asks.I turn and look at her.“You rode separately from Calvin. You didn’t say hello to him when he arrived. Your daughter didn’t acknowledge him, and yet, you’ve barely taken your eyes off him,” she says.I look away.“Come walk with me,” she says, linking her arm with mine and leading me away from the others. When we’re far enough away, she looks at me.“Talk to me, Amelia.”I turn and look over my shoulder
