"You are asking me to stay behind?" Breeana glared at Reece, she couldn't believe that mere days ago she had cried and wished desperately that he would wake up.Now she felt the almost stifling urge to suffocate him. Ugh. He was so annoying and so obstinate that it was a marvel that they were still together.Truly."I just want you to stay safe while all this is going on." He leaned in and dropped a kiss on her forehead before touching her belly. "You and our child."Breeans pulled away before she would melt against his concern and sweet words the way she had been melting for the past few days since he woke up.Suffice to say that their fight had been long forgotten almost immediately after he woke up and she kissed him like the weirdo she was.No, Breeana do not think of kisses. She chided herself. Or of all the other things he had done to her and she had done to him."So I'm supposed to just sit in my hands while all the men I care about go off to fight a maniac? Come on, Reece. I'
Breeana puked again and her belly contracted in response. She was in the bathroom for another hour or so before she felt strong enough to make her way out.She had woken up with morning sickness and by God, it wasn't what it was hyped up to be.She hadn't even been able to wish Reece goodbye properly and she knew that if the coronation hadn't been that day he would have stayed with her until she felt better.She was barely seated on her bed before she felt a tug on the bond. It wasn't unusual these days for her to feel that way but what made her pause was the fact that Reece was in a closed-door meeting with a cold-blooded murderer. Relaxing herself, she let herself drift until she connected with him and then she was…******"Today we are here for something momentous. Because for the first one in centuries, we will be welcoming in a monarch. Someone who will lead us through these dark abysmal times."Reece sat in his seat exchanging side glances with some of his allies. Adelaide looke
Breeana opened her eyes and nearly screamed.Reece. She had to get to Reece. But what could she do on her own?No, if there was one thing that Anya had thought of her it was that she needed backup. She knew that Reece and the others had a contingency plan where their forces could charge in and rescue them but that plan had relied on the use of their pack links.She didn't even know where the forces were situated. Reece hadn't told her and she hadn't thought to ask."What do I do? What should I do?"She paced the length of her room and then inspiration struck. Of course. How could she have forgotten?Sarah. She would know.*****"We need to get to them now."Sarah had known. She had known that something like this would happen. She had suspected it and now Allen was trapped in a room with Damien she would have felt fear if there was time.Every minute she dawdled was time that Allen couldn't afford especially with the vendetta that Damien had against him."I know where they are camped a
Six Years Later"Can I take you to lunch?"Sarah threw a mean left hook that had Jared struggling to keep his balance. He always favoured his right a little bit too much."No.""Sarah…"She didn't let him continue before releasing a barrage of blows that got his head back into the fight and away from emotional talks.An hour later, she was walking out of the training centre with a bag slung over her shoulder after her shower."Sarah, please wait up."She didn't. She kept walking because she really didn't want to have this conversation. He easily caught up to her though with his long legs."So off to pick up Cole?"Sarah stopped walking."What do you want? Please speak directly."Jared looked at her with hurt brown eyes that eerily reminded her of Allen."I'm trying to have a conversation with you, Sarah.""And I'm trying not to. We train together. That's all.""It doesn't have to be. We can be friends–""I apologise for my mistake. I shall find another trainer." Sarah nodded brusquely
It was winter and the evening air was chilly but only one person was in the woods by this time. Breeana was out for a run. Her heart was racing as her paws hit the ground in quick successions. Her dark fur shone in the moonlight as she pushed herself to go faster. There was one thing on her mind as she raced through the woods. She had to beat Madeleine Johnson at the next race between wolves from different packs and she refused to lose to her again. Breeana enjoyed competing in races but not as much as she loved winning. Her sister would have joined her in participating too, but she was too busy preparing herself to be the new Luna of Mountain Coast Pack.Her sister, Ariana was the next Luna of the pack but it was a unique situation. Ariana wasn't the goddess-given mate of the future Alpha but they were so madly in love that it didn't matter. The pack had learned to accept it because Ariana had Beta blood, but the elders were still a bit resistant.Bree really felt bad for Reece's m
It was Friday night. Friday night meant a lot of things to people but to the Mountain Coast Pack's adolescents, it meant parties. The type where you could feel the booze flowing in your bloodstream and it would put your mind into a temporary haze. The type where the music controlled your movements and nearly burst your eardrums. The type where the squeaking of beds above, the moans, the groans and the grunts didn't bother anyone. Why would it? It couldn't simply because it was Friday, and Friday was the one day when you could forget.Bree fell into the one percent of the pack's adolescent population that didn't enjoy these parties. Maybe she was the only person that didn't enjoy these parties. She never needed to forget anything, and she didn't want to forget anything. Now it was a different story though. She needed to forget the fact that in exactly two weeks, she would be turning eighteen and could possibly find the person to whom half of her soul belonged to. Presently, she was
Breeana felt the most peaceful anytime she was running through the woods. The sensation of the wind on her shiny black coat and the moonlight shining against her wolf itself was one of the most peaceful things she had ever experienced.Though this time when she was running, it wasn't for peace. It was for victory. She pushed her wolf to go faster than the brown wolf in her front. The adrenaline that kept pumping through her veins reminded her of why she did this. When she was competing and running against someone, she felt free. The wasn't the constant strain of being the Beta's daughter or the sister of the future Luna wasn't there. It was all about her and herself alone. Her mouth almost hung open as she took in how close the finish line was. With a burst of speed, she pushed her wolf forward which placed her in front of her competitor. She was almost there.When her paws crossed over the finish line, she felt it. The sweet taste of victory. Sadly, it didn't last long because soon
Chapter 4Breeana bit into her strawberry birthday cake and it tasted like ash in her mouth.She went through the motions; laughing with her dad, feeding him the cake, smiling for the camera, hugging Arianna and acting like her entire world hadn't just come crashing down.Reece. The arrogant fool. The boy who dunked her head in her 3rd birthday cake. The wolf whose only redeeming feature had been that he was dating her sister was somehow her mate?He just stood there frozen like a moron. She rolled her eyes and passed by him to hug his dad. It wasn't like she wanted him as her mate either could he be any more obnoxious?Mate, mate, mate. Scar declared.I heard you loud and clear the first time. Breeana quipped back.Although it was growing considerably difficult to fight the growing need to go to her mate, she just couldn't do it.He was Ari's boyfriend, her sister's soon-to-be mate. She couldn't do that to Arianna. Even if Breeana had wanted to betray her sister, it was Reece. Reece
