Alpha Jackson Well, here we are again, sitting in Jason’s office. Vaccaro was not due back for another week, but he called yesterday and said he had some information that needed to be shared immediately. He told Jason that he would be back tomorrow. Hence why we are here today. Vaccaro should be arriving any moment. He wouldn’t say what it was pertaining to over the phone. I am sure it is pertaining to Ryder and his bunch. We did tell him and his parents everything that had happened with Ryder and his pack while they were here. They were not very happy to hear that someone sold Emerald to Ryder’s dad and they were not happy to hear that they had kidnapped and tried to rape her either. “Sorry that I am late. There was heavy traffic as we were coming into town. Some kind of event is at the local arena.” Vaccaro says. “Shit I forgot there was a football game here in town tonight and I think the local fair started today.” Devon states. “I wanna go,” Emerald whines. “To
Vaccaro I couldn’t believe what I heard when Esme told us about the alpha that rejected her. I definitely noticed her the last time I was here, and I thought she was beautiful with black hair that shone blue in the light and dark blue hazel-coloured eyes. She is taller than the other girls. She comes up to my shoulders which makes her around 5’8” to my 6’5” frame. Esme has curves in all the right spots, and I want nothing more than to grab her hips and pull her against me. I called my parents after I had talked to everyone about that Vivian woman and finding the bodies. They were both very happy until I told them what she had been through. I heard my father let out a growl. Mom went silent, which is never a good thing. I looked for Esme all day after the meeting but was not able to find her. I think she is covering her scent somehow. She wasn’t present at breakfast this morning, either. “Alpha there is a woman here to see you.” One of the omegas says. “Please show her
Devon I am here again sitting beside Emerald as she lies in her bed in the hospital. I was hoping that this would not happen again but here we are. This time is different, though. She was protecting her friend that was hurt and her aunt, so I can’t be angry about that. I go to stand up, and I let out a groan. I know I am going to be so fucking sore tomorrow. I hear Nate let out a groan of his own and smirk. He is in the same position I am in. When we learned that Esme was mated to Vaccaro, we honestly didn’t even think about telling Emerald. I figured that she would hear it from someone. Well, she obviously didn’t. __FLASHBACK___ We were sitting at the table eating breakfast when Vaccaro’s mother showed up. He asked her why she was there. When she answered that she was there to see her niece and daughter-in-law, I could feel Emerald’s eyes burning into the side of my head. I knew Nate was getting the same response. We tried to ignore it and started talking to the oth
Alpha Jason Renee had her head buried in my chest, crying as a huge smile spread across my face. Devon had just announced that Emerald was pregnant, and the whole room erupted in cheers. I thought it was weird that Marcel and Samuel had stupid grins plastered on their faces when they walked in. The fact that Rich and Helm had the same grins on their faces made me very suspicious of something. Marcel explained to us that this was why Ryder and Scott couldn’t touch Emerald. The baby was protecting its mother. He also explained this was the reason that their marks would glow. It did make sense. The baby wanted its parents to know without letting everyone know. “Wait, they couldn’t find the baby with the ultrasound,” Jackson said. He and the kids were still here. Ryan, Ian, Lyra, and Nat had left a day before all this had happened. Ryan and Ian were needed back at their pack. It had been a happy but sad departure. I know Draven was sad. This was the first time those two h
Scott It’s been three weeks since the terrible disaster that happened. We have since got rid of Vivian, of which I was glad, and the guy that Ryder had been in contact with met with us the other day. He had a friend with him. I was surprised to see it was a wolf. Ryder and I were suspicious at first, but he wanted to help us as well. We planned to meet at this restaurant. I came to a sudden halt as soon as I walked into the place. My wolf started jumping around in my head as the delicious scent of amaretto and caramel hit my nose. “Are you ok?” Ryder asked.” “Yeah, let’s go meet these two,” I answered. I knew what the smell meant. My wolf announced it very loudly in my head. It meant my mate was somewhere in this restaurant. I wasn’t sure how to deal with this. I have been waiting for her for three years now, but at the same time, I know that both Ryder and I want to mate Emerald so she can have powerful children for us. “Ok, you need to tell me what the fuck is up b
Malachi I felt bad telling Uncle Samuel I would be there in two days when it took me a week to make it there. I ran into some unforeseen complications while I was making my way to the pack. I had just arrived and was getting out of the car when I saw Uncle Samuel. Uncle Samuel was my father's brother. Tyrone and I were extremely close, so when he was killed, I was pissed. I knew his family had something to do with it, but I could never prove it. I promised Tyrone when I visited his and Cyreena’s grave that I would make damn sure that nothing ever happened to Emerald. Of course, that proved hard to do when she all of sudden disappeared. When Uncle Samuel called and explained a few things to me about what had been going on, I told him that I would be there, no questions asked. “It’s good to see you again Malachi.” Uncle Samuel says. “Likewise. So a wolf pack?’ I asked. He explains everything to me, and I get it. I remember Tyrone telling me about him and Cyreena being ve
Ryder I was shocked when Zavian told me that I had a second chance, mate. That thought never even crossed my mind after what I did to Kari. I regret rejecting my mate, but I still believe that she wouldn’t have made a good luna. I needed a strong luna, and she was not strong enough. I could tell she was weak when Vivian easily manipulated her. I am genuinely happy for Scott. I was surprised to see that his mate was a vampire, but she was a beautiful and strong woman. We finally got Paul to tell us why he was helping us, and I was shocked to hear that his father had taken away the alpha position from him just because he had rejected his mate. He said that the pain was terrible on his end but that she didn’t seem to hurt at all. “How old was she when this happened?” Zavian asked. “I think she was 16.” Paul answers. “There is your answer right there. She wasn’t of age yet to get her wolf so the bond never fully formed on her side. I am sure she felt something but not near a
Nate I heard the shower shut off, notifying me that Devon had finished with his shower. It had been a long day. Vaccaro had returned to his kingdom yesterday, and Emerald’s cousin Malachi had shown up earlier today. I was still mildly surprised she threw Raven out of our bedroom window, but I wasn’t too surprised either. I smile when she moves closer to me on our bed. I have myself propped up on my side as I watch her sleep. “Stop being so creepy, brother,” Devon says. “Shut up. I still can’t believe she is pregnant with our pups.” I retorted. “I know; I really didn’t think it would happen the first time we mated her,” Devon admits. That surprised both of us. We figured it would take longer, but Marel informed us that the fae is a very fertile species. I don’t think he was surprised in the least that Emerald was already pregnant. We both look down at her when she lets out a disgruntled sound. Devon sat down on the other side of her and leaned against the headboard
