Parker squeezed my hand, turning towards me, “You’re right, I’m sorry. It wouldn’t be fair to her to continue holding a grudge over Wyatt for things that are entirely out of his control. Thank you for being the level-headed one,” he shook his head with a smile."What?" Parker chuckled, "I just never thought I'd say that." I smiled, “Whenever you need me, I’m here. We may not be mates any longer, but we will always be family,” I narrowed my eyes, "But I've always been the level headed one between you and I." Parker sat up abruptly, letting go of my hand, and looking out over the water. His eyes glanced down at his hands before returning to the expanse of water. I was confused, but sat up next to him, listening to the gentle roll of the waves. “Is it weird, for you?” he asked, turning his head towards me and breaking the silence. “Is what weird?” “You and I...” he whispered. His hazel eyes glittered beneath the sunlight as they roamed over my features. “I wouldn’t say
I watched from the kitchen as Wyatt played with Helena in the living room. I don’t think my heart will ever get used to the feeling of seeing them together. She was stumbling around in what I would call a “baby” run while Wyatt crawled around on his knees, chasing after her. Her giggles and laughing screams filled the room. I glanced up at the clock, my stomach twisting painfully. In an hour, we would be meeting with the Elders, and they had decided to bring the head of the Vampire council here with them to discuss Wyatt’s fate moving forward. It had taken almost six months for them to coordinate a time for both to be present here in Twilight Woods. Not only will Wyatt's Beta position be up for discussion, but his murder of Vincent. And the vampire must decide whether or not he should be punished for killing a sire. I was so fixated by the slow ticking of the clock, that I was nearly knocked down when Helena launched herself onto my legs in an attempt to escape the “Daddy
I watched as Wyatt’s eyes glistened slightly. He tried to blink away the impending tears, but failed as one single drop slid down his cheek. He grabbed both sides of my face, pulling me in for a kiss. I felt tears begin to blur my vision, but I refuse to let them escape. Wyatt needs my strength today. He leans his forehead on mine, taking a deep breath, “It’s time.” Walking through the door, the conversation throughout the room stopped and all eyes turned to Wyatt and I. Both the Elders and Vampire council had brought at least fifteen members each. “Wyatt Reed, Beta of Twilight Woods, please take a seat next to your Alpha, Kai Harlow of Twilight Woods,” Elton, the head of the Elders stated before turning to me, “Felicity Donovan, please take a seat over there,” he stated, pointing to a small bench. The members of the two councils took their seats in front of Kai and Wyatt. “I, Elton Centar, am here representing the council of Elders for Werewolves,” Elton began, "The men
I pulled Felicity into a tight hug, “Let’s go home and celebrate,” my lips brushed her earlobe, and I felt a shudder move through her body. Felicity pulled away from me, looking confused, “Why are we celebrating?” I smiled, “Well, I’d like to start by celebrating the fact that I have the most beautiful, amazing, sexy mate in the entire world. Then, I’d like to celebrate the fact that I’m officially done dealing with the stupid council. And finally, did I say I wanted to celebrate having the literal hottest she-wolf for a mate?” Felicity’s lips tugged into a smile and she closed her eyes, shaking her head. “You speak a very compelling argument,” she joked. “I knew you’d end up seeing things from my point of view,” I winked. Kai cleared his throat, “You two enjoy all of your celebrating. I’m going to go home and spend some quality time with my mate and son.” A bright pink blush tinged Felicity’s cheeks and she gave me “the” look as Kai left us standing there. “I’m not
I scooped her up, carrying her to the door, but as soon as I slid the glass back, smoke started bellowing out. It was like an instant sober for her, she basically jumped out of my arms. I rushed inside, covering my nose and heading over to stove. I quickly shut it off, grabbing two gloves and grabbing the now blackened food out of the oven. Felicity turned on the water to the sink and I threw all three pans under the stream, hoping to stop the burning. Running around, I opened all of the windows to let the house air out. “I’m so sorry.” Felicity looked at me and just started laughing. “What are you laughing about right now?” She kept starting to speak but couldn’t hold in the continued laughter. “I..... We just.... ran through the house.... butt ass naked..... throwing burnt food.... in the sink.... and opening windows. You.... are literally standing there...... with only oven mitts..... on your hands,” she choked out, still laughing. I glanced down, realizing t
After Helena told us her dream, my mind has been unsettled. Not necessarily in a bad way, just with so much unknown; it worried me. Is my daughter a future teller? Did she just have a dream because Parker and Kiera told her she was going to be a big sister? She said that I had red in my eyes. Do I make the decision to turn? Do I have to turn because I am pregnant by a vampire? I know that I shouldn’t be looking too deeply into what she said, but my heart says otherwise. “Felicity, we might not share a mate bond anymore, but I can hear your thoughts loud and clear,” Wyatt whispered, walking over to envelope me in a tight hug. I’d lost my appetite to eat as a dull ache spread through my head from the never-ending string of thoughts. He pulled away, “Do you want to talk about it?” “I don’t know. Am I worrying for nothing? Is my brain creating scenarios that are just.... are insane?” He chuckled softly, “Trust me, her dream threw me for a loop. My mind hasn’t stopped chu
I groggily open my eyes, rubbing away the tiredness that I feel. After blinking a few times, my eyes adjust to the bright rays of the sun shining through the branches on the trees. I sit up, looking around to see if I can find out where I am at now. This is the middle of another future dream. The ground was littered with crunchy brown and orange leaves. The air was cool but not freezing, so it must be fall, which is just around the corner. Pushing myself off of the ground, the sound of leaves crumbling beneath me broke the silence in the forest. I’m in Twilight Woods, I can feel it, I’m just not sure of where. There is an unfamiliarness that settles deep in the pit of my stomach. I walked through the trees for a few moments before my ears picked up the bustling sound of pack life. I followed the sounds and before long, the pack clinic came into view. It was still so surreal walking among life while being completely unnoticed. I was just a fly on the wall in these dreams... but
‘Are you really going to do it?’ Iris questioned, her voice sounding more like a whine. I chose to ignore her for the millionth time this morning. Her incessant pacing and questions have given me one of the worst headaches I’ve had in my life. My head was already running wild with questions and answers. I didn’t need any other questions. ‘That’s specifically why I’m trying to get answers from you,’ Iris growled. I ignored her once again, choosing to clean the house to distract my mind. My heart felt as if it were torn to shreds, and I couldn't blame her for wondering. I was considering sending her back to the Goddess, essentially cutting her time here on Earth short. I spent what felt like hours cleaning everything. Scrubbing the counters, floors, doors, trim, anything I could think of. “You’re going to scrub the finish off of the floor soon,” Wyatt chuckled sleepily. I had an incredibly hard time sleeping after my future dream. I’ve been up for hours and it's just no
