ANNA FELT SO SILLY after everything she had put her packs through! When they informed her pack of what was happening, they couldn’t wait to move the new pack grounds. Her pack had always half expected to move when she took over since she was a female and it was the most obvious.They even took the news that Collin was a hybrid a lot better than she would have ever expected. Soon the pack was breaking up their old houses and moving them to Collin’s grounds where everyone would be closer to each other to protect. Anna couldn’t believe that after everything they had been through, this was the easy part, but she hadn’t told Collin about the vampire scent yet, and she was beginning to think she shouldn’t.There was no sign of the vampires in town, and from what her scouts were telling her the vampire had moved on. There had also been no more emails since the last ones which made her wonder if he had given up so easily, but she was just too happy to be with Collin to worry about it that muc
RECEIVING THE CALL FROM NICOLAS was comforting, especially now that Anna and Collin were mated and happy. Leah didn’t want anything to ruin their happiness, most of all some obsessed damn vampire. As things were, Anna was nervous about getting pregnant and vampires had interfered in their lives far too much.It was good to see Collin and Anna work together as a team while the pack grew in strength, but Leah was concerned and she would always stay that way. She was a mother and it was in her blood to worry about her children.NICOLAS SLAMMED the phone down after speaking to Sebastian. He couldn’t believe that Victor had actually gone to the girl’s home! After everything they had gone through with Nathaniel, Nicolas thought that his people would be more careful when it came to the wolves, but it seemed as though Victor was intent on making his life difficult.Beverly looked up from her book and frowned and he sighed. He was going to have no other choice and they both knew it. There was
Anna frowned as she looked at Collin. How could he even say that? Okay, so there was the possibility that she could die and that wasn’t the best idea ever, but his mother survived, didn’t she? Collin looked at her for a moment and then stormed out of the room. Anna was so stumped that she didn’t know if she should go after him.“Anna,” His mother’s voice interrupted her thoughts as she was standing looking out of the window. Anna turned to look at Leah, and her eyes filled with tears. She had no idea what to say. This was meant to be a happy day, wasn’t it? Leah pulled the young woman into her arms. She had grown incredibly fond of Anna since the first day she arrived and she would hate to see her go through all of this.“What do I do? I didn’t try to get pregnant, it just happened?” Anna cried and Leah sighed. She knew precisely how Anna was feeling. She also didn’t try, but it was a terrible time and not as happy a time as she had hoped it to be. Being pregnant with a possible hybri
Collin checked with the doctor again after a couple of hours to make sure that Anna was okay. She was still deathly cold to the touch and the doctor couldn’t really give them any answers as to why, but according to their tests, she was fine. She just had to recover after giving birth.At first, Collin didn’t want to see much of their daughter, but when the nurse took her around for the third time, he took her. She looked like a little carbon copy of her mother with her dark hair and bright blue eyes. She was going to be a beauty and Collin could just see how he was going to have his hands full with all the males! That made him realize that he had another problem. His firstborn was a girl. She would one day have to face the same thing Anna did when they became mates and Collin wasn’t so sure if their new pack would like that idea.He knew that he was probably running things far too far ahead, but he couldn’t imagine any of his pack members, Anna’s included, wanting to merge with anothe
ANNA DIDN’T WANT TO LIKE NICOLAS, but he seemed nice enough. Collin’s father seemed to trust him, but she couldn’t help herself. She didn’t trust vampires even if she sort of was one now.“My brother, Nathaniel,” Nicolas sighed as they kept walking. “What he did to Sebastian was wrong. If I had known before he did it, I would have stopped him.” Anna could see from his body language that it was difficult for him to talk about it, but she didn’t interrupt. She wanted to know why he was there and what he wanted with her. “It has created a bit of a leadership problem for both the vampire and the wolf worlds, Anna. I need to know that if I give you an order, you will obey.” Nicolas stopped walking and looked straight at her. She frowned, tilting her head to one side.“And what if your order goes against what I believe or what my alpha has told me to do? No, I can’t make promises like that, Nicolas. I’m sorry.” Anna wondered what the hell he was thinking about asking her something like that
THE LIFE OF A LUNA wasn’t what Anna expected. In fact, it was a lot better. She completely understood now why her mother was such a pain sometimes. Her mom once told her that having a child is like cutting out your heart and allowing it to wander around the world without any kind of protection.Anna wasn’t entirely sure if she felt so overly protective because it was her child or if it was because of her new heightened senses, but it didn’t really matter. She had to keep reminding herself that the only way for children to learn is if they fall and find their own way up again. It was the way she learned. It was how she realized that she belonged with Collin. She had to see the damage she did to herself before she realized what she needed to do.So every time her mother's heart jumped to save her little one, she would hold her breath and clench her hands together and pray for the best. Their little one was a really busy body so the clenching happened a lot as she grew up and started to
VICTOR PACED THE ROOM where the girl was busy screaming and he was glad he found an area that was mostly deserted. The girl could scream until she had no voice left and nobody would hear her. Once he had her, he could move out of the area.His dried-out dinner was lying off to one side and Victor turned his attention away from what was happening inside. Outside of that window was the woman he wanted to make his. She had a life, but he didn’t care about her life. He wanted to be her life. He wanted to be her obsession just like she had been to him. The girl stirred and the moaning stopped drawing his attention from his thoughts as he turned to look at the set of red eyes that were looking at him.The sun had just gone down and it was the perfect time to find her someone to eat and then get out of the city. His arm slipped around her perfect little waist and if he closed his eyes, he could imagine the girl being the one he wanted. As long as he didn’t breathe in her scent. Her hair was
COLLIN PACED HIS office while waiting for the reports from Nicolas’s people to come in. They found the hotel where Victor was staying with a woman and they needed to make sure the woman was still alive. If she had been turned by Victor, she could attack the moment they walked through the door.His eyes kept finding Anna where she stood near the window looking out. Her arms were clamped tightly around her body and she looked just as strained as he was feeling. He knew in his heart of hearts that she didn’t want the vampire, but he couldn’t stop that small voice way in the back of his mind from telling him she might. Unable to stand it a second longer, he walked over to Anna, grabbed her hand, and dragged her off to the bedroom.“Collin! What’s wrong?” She looked a little taken aback as he started to kiss her down the side of her neck while unbuttoning her shirt.“I’m going to nail you to bed to make sure you know how much I love you.” The way he said it as if he was being serious made
