“Neo, my love, come here! Come to mommy!” I called out for my little boy and he swiftly turned to me, his two-toned hair swaying to the side and his smile widened across his face.
Without a second thought, my arms opened wide for him, waiting to feel my son in my arms. He’s running as fast as he can. Those little legs of his are taking one step forward each second as he continues to let out the cutest soft giggles.
As soon as he reaches where I am, I take him in my arms and pull him close to me, holding him tightly and we spin around. Neo is laughing even louder now, the kind of laugh where he doesn’t hold back. He’s the happiest he’s ever been and it warms up my heart knowing that it’s with me.
“Mommy, can yo
I start to cry again. It’s all I’ve been doing aside from all of the research. Somehow, it’s become my second nature. I don’t stop myself from letting tears stream down my face. I don’t think I can, anyway.Somehow, it’s like the pain and heartbreak has been embedded inside of me and all of the tears come out without stopping.“Keira!” I hear my name called out just right after the sound of a door being forced open.When I look up, it’s Titus. Though I can barely make him out as my eyes are blurry from all the tears, I could sense his presence and I could smell his strong scent.Funny how I found my mate, someone I thought had long stopped
River ColdenI couldn’t stay still all the way back home to Norway. As much as I didn’t want to leave Keira, I didn’t have much of a choice either.I knew I couldn’t stay long, but with everything that’s happened, all I wanted to do was be there for her. Unfortunately, she felt otherwise.Keira was heartbroken. She was devastated to her core and I wouldn’t have known what was going on had I not heard murmurs and whispers from others in that ass wipe’s Pack.I couldn’t believe it at first, but it all started to make sense. Besides, why would someone lie about her past?Keira was all alone. Her entire family and Pack had
River Colden Two Hours Ago “What am I doing here?” Skye asked the second he swung open the door to my office and he leaned against the doorframe, glaring at me. “It’s nice to see you too, little brother. Sit down.” I gestured to the seat in front of me, but he merely raised an eyebrow at me. “I don’t listen to your orders.” He huffed before looking away. God damn it. I would use my Alpha tone on him, but I don’t really have the time nor the patience. Plus, I needed to be on his good side for this. I’m tired and jetlagged from my flight, but if not now there was no other chance to get this done so I might as well get this over with. “Fine. Do whatever you want. Just hear me out. I didn’t call for you to fight with you, Skye. I…” I cleared my throat and pushed myself to say it. “I need your help.” In all six years of me as Alpha, I’ve never asked anyone for help. Sure, my Beta and Gamma come in from time to time, but that was their job. They’re there to guide me to protect a
I thought I was still dreaming when the door swung open and revealed a face I’ve only seen in my thoughts and dreams from time to time, but when he greeted me hello, I knew it was more real than it could ever be.“You look like shit, K.” He said with a light chuckle. Still the sweetheart that he’s always been, it seems.“I still look better than you though. You cut your locks? That was the only handsome thing about you.” I teased and he narrowed his eyes on me as if deciding whether or not to take me seriously.As kids, Zane and I bonded with either him being nice to me or flat out teasing me. There was pretty much no in between and that’s how we liked it.
It was a quarter to nine o’clock. Usually by this time I would either be in bed with Neo to tell him a good night story or pushing him to quickly wash up so he could go to bed during days he would overplay sometimes.Right now though, I was all alone on his bed, holding the last book I was telling him the story of, and trying my best not to have another god-awful breakdown.Safe to say, I was doing fairly terribly at it.I crouched into a fetal position and tightly held on to his pillow in between my thighs. It still smelled like him – coconut and vanilla. He had chosen the shampoo and soap when we were in the grocery once. He had always been in love with the beach so when he saw the shampoo set, he begged me for it endlessly.&nbs
I watched as River thoroughly admired and took in everything around Neo’s room. The medals he got for being an active participant in most of his classes and extracurricular activities, his trophies from sports camps, and picture frames at the top of his drawer where he’s smiling widely with all the awards.“He really likes sports a lot, doesn't he?” He asked without turning around, feeling one of Neo’s baseball uniforms.It was red, white, and black, holding a close similarity to the Arizona Diamondbacks. I still remember Neo’s excitement from the fitting to when it arrived in the mail. He was over the moon excited and he wore it to bed for a whole week until he realized he needed to take it off to get it cleaned.“Yeah,
Titus BaneHe’s been staring at me since we stepped out of the car and started surveying the resort. I can feel his eyes digging into me from behind and if I didn’t know any better, I would feel intimidated. But I did, and one of those was the fact that pretty boy doesn’t and never will have any effect on me.Three days ago, this place was filled with wolves, but because I couldn’t exactly keep it that way even with my connections, the Phoenix resort where Neo disappeared that night was back in business.Humans roamed around the place normally, some bikini-clad women were even eyeing us up and down, and frankly, I was surprised Zane didn’t seem to care about women flirting with him. He looked like the type to play around. Maybe I had misjudged him a little too
Titus Bane“River, no!” Keira shouted, but it was obvious he wasn’t hearing anyone as he stared at me like he was already thinking of ways to dispose of my body.“Don’t be a child,” I told him as I dodged his punches.I’m sure he was a good fighter. I never doubted that, but because he was consumed by too much anger and rage, he couldn’t see things clearly. He just kept throwing punches without calculating them so it was much easier to dodge each one of them.“Fuck you!” He shouted. “Keira deserves better than you!”I laughed amusedly. “Oh, and who might that be? Are you t
