Julisa POVI woke up to the twins using my bladder as a boxing bag. I get out of bed as fast as I can barely making it to the bathroom before peeing my pants, the little stinkers. I walk into the closet grabbing my bigger pair of jogging clothes. They had a growth spurt last night. I grab my socks and shoes, walking out to the room. I look down realizing I can no longer see my feet. Hmmm I'm going to have to walk out to the training field barefoot and ask someone for help. I slowly walk out into the hallway towards the stairs. They look so intimidating as I come up to them. Taking in a deep breath I lean my right arm onto the railing and start my trek down. When I reached the bottom I'm completely out of breath. We need an elevator. Eos chuckles at me. Catching my breath and energy I make my way out to the field.As I get closer I see Shade in the distance talking to a warrior. "Hey Shade!" I try shouting while out of breath from just walking out here. I waved my arm in the air at him
Julisa POVThe next few days were much of the same. Me struggling to get ready in the morning and then making it down to the training field to ask Shade for help with my shoes. Though walking 1.5 miles was much easier than the 3. After practicing my gifts I would still be completely exhausted barely making it up the stairs and into a nice warm bath before eating some breakfast and collapsing back into bed for a nap. That's all I have been doing the last few days is sleeping. Growing exceptional twin wolves is completely exhausting. I have started to feel the tightening and pressure Klair spoke to me about the last day and a half but it hasn't been consistent or lasting longer than 3 minutes. Today I plan to try preparing the twins nursery by putting all the books and clothes we bought away. I dress in my jogging clothes and grab my socks and shoes heading out to the dreaded stairs. I made it to the field and found a bench practically collapsing on it utterly exhausted. Shade comes ove
Alpha Smith's POVAlex leaves my office upset slamming my door. I don't understand where she could be. I'm upset too, I need her to make this work and If it doesn't work I am in trouble for not following through with his plan. He will probably kill me when he finds out even if she does mate with Alex and not her fated mate. He didn't seem like he really wanted her alive though I'm still not totally sure why he wanted her dead so badly when she can make anyone strong Alpha pups. I need to find her soon. I'm looking at a map trying to figure out where she could have gone when I feel a ripping pain in my chest. "No.... It can't be, he would rather renounce his title and pack then mate with Julisa. Why....Why would he do this to me." I scream with another wave of pain Jason is following him of course the weak imbecile. Another ripping pain Clarissa too is leaving with them. That could bring some trouble for me but she has no idea about him so at least that's safe. I'm not sure how he is go
Michael's POVSaying goodbye to Julisa was the hardest thing. She stands here cling to me bawling her eyes out Shade finally walked over grabbing my shoulder "I got her bro." He says pulling her from my arms. I cringe watching him wrap his arms around her. I know he has a thing for her. I hold back my growl turning to climb in the SUV. Closing my eyes once I am not being able to stand watching him hold her any longer. I know he wouldn't ever do anything because he is my brother but it still bugs the shit out of me everytime I hear he is with her. I kept trying to get Jarus to train her but he would always tell Jarus he insisted he do it. With him being the pack Gamma Jarus would back off and let him. I couldn't Alpha command him to stop or it would cause issues with mom. So I grin and beared it. That's why I have to get this done now so I can spend more time with my mate and pups. Leaving Shade and Jarus behind with some warriors wasn't my favorite plan but I still needed someone her
Julisa POVI wake up feeling exhausted. I slept horrible without Michael. I slowly drag myself from bed and go to the closet getting dressed. I grab my shoes and drag my feet to the stairs. Stopping to hype myself up for the journey down. I groan grabbing the railing and slowly start the trek down. Stopping at the bottom to catch my breath. I make my way down to the field seeing Shade in the distance. I sit on my usual bench catching my breath and wait for him to come over to me. Shade makes his way over after finishing his conversation with Jarus. "Morning sunshine." He says with a smile. "Morning." I grumble back. He takes my shoes and starts putting them on. "Someone didn't sleep too well." Shade says. "No I'm sorry, I just can't sleep without him." I whisper. "It's okay Julisa I understand." Shade says helping me up. We then make our way over to the track. Shade stops letting me catch my breath. Then we start walking the 1.5 miles very slowly today as I feel so exhausted. We stopp
*****Trigger Warning For Loss*****Michael's POVWe finally pulled into our pack grounds driving right through the gate since no one was there to let us in anyway. I turned the travel time from Blood Lake pack to Shadow pack into a 4 hour drive. I stop the SUV right by the broken gate and shift into Erebus with everyone that was with me following suit. 'Where are the rogues we are here to help!' I shout into the pack link. There is no response back to me. I take off for the pack house. As we get closer I can see Jarus slumped over a body on the ground a few meters from the pack house. My running slows. No no I start shaking my head in denial it can't be Julisa it just can't. I pick back up my speed coming up next to Jarus. I shift back looking down at him. I look around and see a dead Alpha Smith a few more feet away. "Where is everyone?" Remy says next to me. "Remy!" A frantic scream is heard coming from the pack house. "Charity!" Remy yells back running to her.I bend down next to J
*****Trigger Warning*****Julisa POVI wake to an all to familiar bright white room. "Mom, Dad." I say into the whiteness. "We are here baby girl." I see mom appear and then dad. Mom wraps me in her arms then dad wraps his arms around us too. "Am I dead." I ask confused. "Not yet baby." Mom says taking a step back from me as they both drop there arms. "Buckwheat prepare yourself. What we have to tell you is not the best news." Dad says looking at me with sorrow in his eyes. "Oh god did Shade die." I say putting my hand to my mouth. "I'm afraid that answer is yes sweet girl." Mom says touching my cheek. "It's all my fault." I say as tears rush down my face. "Shhhh baby girl." Dad soothes coming around to rub my back. "Sweet heart do you remember what all happened?" Mom asks me cautiously. I stop thinking a little and it all rushes through me. "I'm in labour and he in....I...injected me with vampire blood. My babies." I say grabbing my stomach. Mom looks at me with tears in her eyes. "R
Julisa POVI woke up to Triton crying. "I got you buddy. Daddy's here." I hear Michael say as I assume he picks him up from the hospital bassinet. "I'll make him a bottle." I say rolling over slowly sitting up and stepping out of the bed grabbing the bottle they brought us and formula. "I wish I could just feed him." I sigh. "I know gorgeous, but you lost too much blood." Michael says watching me make the bottle. "I feel so worthless. I couldn't even do my job as a mom and save his brother." I say with a few tears slipping down my cheeks as I hand Michael the bottle. "Gorgeous, it's not your fault." He says putting the bottle in Triton's mouth. "I know, but I feel like it is." I say caressing Triton's head. "I know how you feel little fighter." Michael says looking at me with tears in his eyes.I go on my tippy toes and kiss his lips. "This wasn't your fault either." I say against his lips. He just nods his head slightly and takes my lips in another tender kiss. We both look down at o
