I turned around, seeing a large man standing behind the glass with a lopsided grin on his face. “You must be Felicity. I’m Ryzen, but you can call me Ry,” he smiled, outstretching his hand within his cell. I furrowed my brows, wondering how he knew my name, but I guess Parker would have had to talk to someone while he was here. I typed in the code, freeing him from his cell. ‘How can I help?’ he questioned through link. ‘We just need to get all of the captives to the vans that are parked on the rear side of the building. You can follow my warriors.’ He nodded, quickly joining the other’s and assuring everyone that they would be okay and that they could trust us. Wyatt ran up to me, looking over my body for any damage. “I’m fine, I promise,” I started, unable to finish my sentence before his lips crashed into mine. “I never doubted you, just needed a kiss,” he whispered, pecking me once more before his brows furrowed, “Wait, where is Parker?” “Looking for h
My mind has been moving a thousand miles a minute since Felicity appeared in front of the glass wall of my cell. I wasn’t sure what to say or do, so I just stood there, staring at her. My heart raced seeing her beautiful face again. She broke my soul into a million pieces, but none of that mattered once she materialized in front of me.At first. I thought I was just imagining things. How was it possible that she'd found me? Felicity may be my ex-mate, but she will always have a piece of my heart. She not only found out that I was still alive, but put her life in danger by coming to rescue me. I don’t think I could fully process what was happening. I heard all of the commotion down the hall, but the way the cells were set up, you had a very limited view beyond what was directly in front of you. When she unlocked my door and I was free, my feet still stayed frozen. My body almost paralyzed until she spoke, snapping me out of it. As soon as I came to, I knew I needed to get to
I woke up this morning feeling like we were finally turning a corner. Parker was finally coming home. We finally made it into the compound and rescued everyone. Everything we worked so hard for finally came full circle.“Mmmmmm. Felicity, I’m not ready to get up yet,” Wyatt whispered sleepily, tightening his arms around my body. Both of us fell into a much-needed deep sleep last night. It felt great to have such a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders. I rolled over, pulling his face towards mine. Wyatt was handsome all the time, but goddess help me, him in the morning was a whole new level. The way his eyes had an almost innocent look to them. The light stubble that dotted his jaw line. The flush of his cheeks. I kissed him with a hunger I didn’t realize that I had until this moment. The realization that so much could have gone wrong last night gave me a new understanding to the phrase 'Life is too short'.I watched as his eyes grew wide and he smiled into the kiss. “W
As soon as the plane landed, I noticed Wyatt’s father standing off to the side holding Helena. My heart beat quickened and I grabbed Wyatt, quickly pulling him off of the plane and rushing to Elias. Helena reached out for me and I grabbed her, spinning around and peppering her little face with kisses. Her giggles were like music to my ears. Wyatt came over, scooping her up and lifting her into the air over and over. Parker hesitated a moment before approaching the four of us. I could see the tears forming in his eyes seeing Helena after all of this time. Wyatt noticed him now too and quickly met Parker in the middle. Parker outstretched his arms, carefully taking Helena into them. Her little eyes looked so confused as she stared at Parker. Helena turned to look back at Wyatt, “Da da,” she cried, reaching for Wyatt. I watched Parker’s heart break right in front of my eyes. His daughter just called another man dad. Her cries intensified as she reached out for Wyatt. Parker swal
As soon as Parker walked through the door, I could feel how uncomfortable he was. The house reeked of sex. I’m pretty sure the counter was still sticky with a thin layer of Felicity’s sweat. I snuck a quick glance over my shoulder, hoping they wouldn’t realize what I was looking at. ‘At least he will know his place in Felicity’s life,’ Dex chuckled, clearly enjoying Parker’s timing. I groaned internally, ‘He knows he’s no longer Felicity’s mate,’ I mumbled. ‘Doesn’t change that he’s touched what’s ours,’ he growled. He had a point. This was going to be interesting, to say the least. “How are you feeling now that you are home?” Parker's lips pulled into a frown, “It’s been an adjustment. A little overwhelming.” I nodded. It was understandable that he would be overwhelmed. I can’t imagine all of the wolves coming up to him and welcoming him home. I outstretched my hand, “Kiera, it’s nice to officially meet you. I’ve never seen a fox in the flesh.” Or a fox cover
I noticed that Kiera had been tense since we left the packhouse. She was wringing her hands and looking out the windows nervously. “Kiera, where do you like to shop?” She bit her lip and looked down at her feet, “I’m not really sure. It’s been a really long time since I’ve actually been shopping. Everything that I owned was picked out by someone else.” Cami frowned, “Well, girl, today, you get to choose whatever you like. My treat.” Kiera shook her head, staring at Cami through widened eyes, “I can’t do that.” “I insist. Please. You are Parker’s mate and he is part of our little disfunctional family. That makes you part of the family too,” Cami reached across the space in the car, grasping Kiera's hand a squeezing. I watched her eyes glass over, but she quickly blinked away any tears, “I, uhm, thank you.” Cami smiled a wide, bright smile, “I’ve never personally met a fox before. Do you have a counterpart like us wolves do? Felicity told me how absolutely stunning you we
Last night went surprisingly great. Kiera was quiet and reserved, but she seemed like she was getting more comfortable with us. After Parker and I spent the time outside together, we both have a new level of respect for the other. We laughed and enjoyed being carefree for the first time in months. Before he'd left, there was a level of animosity, that I absolutely deserved, but as we sit here now, it seems that's disappeared. “Are you sure that you three can handle these little beasts?” Cami raised a brow, glancing between me, kai, and Parker. Parker, Kai, and I were going to be spending the day with the pup’s while the girls go enjoy a leisurely day of shopping. We figured that it would be the perfect time to go over the finer details when it came down to the captives and what's next. “Do I look like the kind of man who would fail you?” I stabbed a finger at my chest, narrowing my eyes at Cami. “Yes,” Cami replied without another thought. She challenged me with equally na
“I’ve decided to give Tobias and his mate another chance,” Parker stated plainly. I watched Kiera lean into his side, squeezing him gently. I have a feeling that she was the one who convinced him to forgive and forget.“I will have my warriors move them to a room in the packhouse,” Kai nodded before his eyes clouded, signaling he was receiving a link. I watched him closely, his eyebrows furrowing and then going wide. That can’t be a good sign. “The warriors have requested our presence at the border,” Kai's voice held an edge to it as he swallowed hard. Not much rattles him, but I could see it in his eyes that whatever was waiting at the border was not going to be good.Parker turned to Kiera, but she waved him off, “I will just head home. I'll see you there soon,” she smiled. He leaned down, placing one hand on her cheek, before pulling her in for a gentle kiss. It was the first time I’d seen him initiate any sort of intimacy. The three of us quickly headed out, shifting as s
