Theo's POV If my daughter wasn't here, in my arms, I would have unleashed my fury at Elsie by now. But I kept my anger caged inside me for now. Gracie was upset enough, I didn't want to hurt her further. "Why are you so irresponsible?" I asked sternly, my eyes focused on the redhead who fumbled at the sleeves of her green top "You should be watching Gracie at all times," "I'm sorry!" Elsie said with an outburst "I became distracted, I turned my back for one minute," "One minute too long!" I yelled, but managed to reign my voice in as Gracie buried her face deeper into my chest "You need to have eyes on Gracie at all times," "It wasn't her fault," Oris spoke up as he stepped forward, pushing his glasses up his nose "Kai and I came in here and distracted her," he paused and his eyes shifted to Kai, probably looking for support. "Yeah," Kai followed his brother's words "We were messing around and distracted Elsie," he grinned "We're a good distraction though," a smug smirk s
Rory's POV After failing to make an attempt to free my mind of Elsie, I had spent days torturing my mind over what she could be doing. Simple daily tasks had become difficult chores for me, I just couldn't focus on anything else but the thought of Elsie. Locking myself in my study, I hadn't even been in the mood to take pleasure in the women who offered their bodies to me, all I could think about was her. So now, this very evening I found myself leaving the Autumn Pack house in the darkness. Shifting in my wolf form, Evander slinked through the night, as I ran as fast as I could toward the Summer Pack home. The cool breeze shifted through my fur as I ran, quickening my pace the more eager I became to see Elsie. Perhaps I could sneak a peek of Elsie, and find out where she had made her home and how she had stabbed my back so easily. I huffed as I ran, the thoughts of Elsie defying me caused anger to stir within, which caused me to become more determined in my efforts. Enter
Elsie's POV After tucking Gracie in soundly to sleep, I left her room quietly. Sneaking toward the door, I took one glance at her before leaving. She had become worn out from her busy day, and had fallen asleep instantly. I smiled as I watched Gracie sleep, how pure and sweet she was. I left the door ajar ever so slightly. Just as Gracie asked, and stepped lightly across the hallway to my room. I noticed the door was open, when I knew for a fact I closed it, as I always had. I liked my privacy. My room was the only place in this house I could have my own time. Upon entering the room, I saw Oris standing there. He seemed to be studying my shelves, his eyes wandering the collection of books and the odd ornament I had displayed on them. I cleared my throat, startling Oris as he jumped lightly "Oh Elsie," he said with shock in his voice. As though he hadn't expected me to be in my own bedroom "You're here, I was waiting for you," "I gathered that," I replied with a laugh "Wha
Theo's POV I had come to realise that I had perhaps been a little too hard on Elsie. Sure, she had been careless and could probably work on being more cautious, but I felt my approach was harsh. I woke up that morning with Elsie on my mind, and how I wanted to do something nice for her. I would take her out, so we could spend some time together and hopefully bond a little. It was only fair I should actually get to know the nanny of my daughter. Picking up my phone as I laid in bed, the blanket barely covering my naked form. I must have kicked them off in my sleep last night with warmth. I began to message Elsie - 'I've made some plans for today, get Gracie ready for a walk in the park. Meet me downstairs when you're ready,' I felt satisfied with that message, it was casual and no pressure on Elsie getting herself and Gracie ready in a hurry. This was my new approach, I would try and take life more easily. Placing my phone down, I took my eyes to the ceiling as I ta
Elsie's POV Anger filled me, and I knew I was furious at myself. My body was betraying me, the feelings I felt toward Theo Warren, just when he spoke a few mere words. What was coming over me? It was just a dream, nothing more! Wasn't my sexual lust satisfied by the two Alpha brothers I was already having relations with? My body craved more! A third? How ridiculous. I chose to ignore these lustful urges that had crept upon me and try to remove Theo from my mind. Theo must think I'm an idiot acting the way I had, I was meant to be proving to the Alpha that I had gained strength and power, not running away at every single little obstacle. I could kick myself. I was unable to settle, I paced up and down my room, my forehead beading with sweat as I clenched my fists. I needed some physical release. While Gracie was still out with Theo, I would take advantage of this alone time and go train in the forest. Thankfully, on my way to my secret training grounds I hadn't bumped int
Oris's POV My daily visit to the library was never a chore for me, my safe space and haven for knowledge and learning about the world. I would always enter with a smile. But today, a smile definitely broadened my face when I saw Elsie in the library waiting for me. Sat upon the desk I liked to sit and read, my eyes studied her figure beneath the simple white shirt which hugged her tightly and down to the casual jeans. No matter what Elsie wore, she looked breathtaking. Upon entering the room, I closed the door, expecting to need some privacy alone with this beautiful woman. Excitement filled me, and as Elsie turned her head to face me, her flaming locks swayed with her movement, as her sparkling green eyes fixed on me. My chest fluttered as my heart began to pound with the thrill of seeing Elsie, being alone with her to spend the time as we wished. Whether it be reading a book together or something else. My cheeks burned as I imagined Elsie in my arms, enjoying every sense of
Kai's POV Making my way past the library, it wasn't somewhere I usually bothered with. Reading was not good for my mind, why waste time reading when you can just watch the movie? I chuckled as I thought how dumb my brother was for not thinking that before I had, idiot. All those hours he spent with his nose in a book. No wonder he never had a girlfriend, women hate reading. It was then, distracting my thoughts I heard the soft voice of conversation from the library. The door was closed, which wasn't like Oris at all. He always left the library door open. He said the knowledge of books may escape the library and root itself into my brain to make me smart. I was smart, I had street smarts, knew the way of the world and how to maintain my street cred. Oris knew nothing about being cool. The more I thought about it, the more I disliked Oris. Its a shame we were expected to get along just because we were twin brothers. I pressed my ear against the door, wondering if something ex
Theo's POV Kai had eventually left me in peace, he seemed quick to leave my study. Which was welcome in my eyes, I just felt like I needed to be alone at the moment. I restarted my game, bashing the buttons as I tried to defeat this enemy once more. Dodging its laser blasts and flipping in every direction began to feel monotonous now, but I was determined. I sighed deeply as my mind wandered to Elsie, and how she had acted on our stroll in the park. I couldn't help but wonder if it was me, was she that uncomfortable around me I gave her panic attacks? I know I had been hard on her at first, but I can't say I was over harsh. After all, she was the nanny of my child and I needed to be sure Gracie was safe in Elsie's hands, after all of her mistakes. Blinking quickly, I found I couldn't focus on the game any longer, so I gave up and switched the console off. Sitting back on the sofa, I thought about Elsie some more and tried to pinpoint why I had developed these comforting feel
