Heidi povReaching the car out back, I'm quick to start it and drive away. I just told one of the girls before running out the door that I left a note in the kitchen for what they needed to start preparing, and the rest I know Liz will handle until I'm back.Reaching for my phone I'm quick to call Carl, and it doesn't take long for him to answer."I need you to get over to the spa and guard it until I'm back, and you have to call me if you see anything suspicious," I tell him the second he answers the phone. I know he will get into the car right away and rush over here, but I can't relax until I'm back and can make sure they are all safe."Do I need to bring anyone else?" he says, and even if that might be good, I'm not sure it's necessary right now."Do what you want, I'll call you on my way back," I tell him, and hang up the phone when I pull the car out on the main road and start to speed over to their pack.Since Carl joined Darian's pack and met Frederic, he has never hesitated t
Heidi povThey all look at me in silence for a moment, and I know Aliza understands it all. She has lived too many years as a rogue to know the dangers we are facing and who we need to stay far away from."No, Heidi," she says when I just look at her. Fear and worry are written all over her face, her eyes are dilated when I see her starting to shake her head."Are you sure it was him? You couldn't have mistaken him for someone else?" She asks, and I know she hopes it, but I'm certain it was him without any doubt."Yes, I recognized his scent, and there is no question, it was him when I saw his wolf," I tell her when I see Darian walk up behind her and place his hand on her shoulder. He has never been forced to live with the fear we have, he can't understand this from our perspective, even if he tries the best he can."You are safe, Aliza, and I want all of you to come here. We will protect you, and I think it's about time you all take our offer," he says, looking at me. I know he means
Kaylee povI can't believe how good he fixed my hair, even with the empty spots, I have never had this beautiful hair in my life. Dragging my hand through the blond curls, it feels so soft."Do you like it?" he says from behind when I lift my eyes in the mirror and look at him instead."It's amazing," I say in response when I see him get a big smile on his lips."Good to hear. Now, I will help you get your hair healthy when it grows back and fix the cut for you. Your hair is my priority, princess," he says, and I get all warm inside my body from his words. He feels so caring and loving, I don't know how I can ever repay him for this."Thank you," I tell him with a smile on my lips."Well, I've got a client coming in just a moment. Let's get you down to Liz," he says when I get up from my seat. Looking once again in the mirror, I can't even see my bald spots when he has fixed my hair this way.I'm starting to follow him out of the room and over to the stairs when I hear Liz talking dow
Kaylee povTurning my head away, I don't want to give myself away. I need to hide this for now."Just wanted to ask if there would ever be a need for one," I say, trying to sound normal when I take a few steps closer to the window."Don't worry, the contact number for the doctor is in Aliza's office by the reception. If it's ever needed, anyone of them can get it for you." She explains, and now I know I have to find the office and get in there unnoticed to look for a number, if I can even find it."Sounds good," I answer when she starts moving to my side."I guess it's better if we get down to the restaurant and see if they need any help; it's always better to be ahead of the chores before Heidi comes back and gives us more work." I see her turn around and start walking out of the room when I begin to walk behind her."I haven't met Aliza you were talking about yet, isn't she here?" I say when we reach the stairs again and start to walk down."She is with her mate and their pack, she
Kaylee povI'm trying to figure out what to say in response to her without telling her I'm carrying his child and he is my mate. He knows the truth that I wasn't a rogue before, but that won't help me anyway."I ended up on his pack grounds by mistake," I say, and look down on my lap again when the room falls silent for a bit when I hear footsteps walking fast outside the door before it's opened.Turning my head, I see Liz walking inside with fast steps and heading right over to where we are. She stops beside me and looks between us."What's new?" she says when I don't understand what she means at all. Looking back at Heidi, where she sits with her eyes on me."They will take my daughter at this time, and whoever wants to stay there, they will protect everyone, and the ones that want to join their pack are welcome to do so," Heidi says, and I don't understand what she is talking about."Tell me you will give up on being so stubborn and join the pack, Heidi, all the other girls here wi
Kaylee povThe rest of the day went fast. I got too help in the kitchen and enjoyed having things to do to keep my mind busy from overthinking about the whole mess I'm in."Kaylee, come and eat," I hear Sofia say, and place the last plate I have washed away. Some others are cleaning the kitchen while Heidi and the other cook are preparing for tomorrow by doing inventory and making sure nothing is missing."Coming," I say to Sofia, and starts to walk out of the kitchen and head over to a table in the restaurant that they have set up for all of us to eat dinner at. The restaurant closed about an hour ago, and we only got to eat something fast once we had any time over, and I'm used to it, so I didn't mind."Here, take a seat," Sofia says when Liz comes walking over with another woman and some kids. It doesn't take long until I see the kids take a seat with their mothers around the table while I take a seat at the far end.They are all talking and catching up on the day and what has happ
Kaylee povThey all walk ahead of me and Sofia while we make our way towards where they usually train. We start to walk behind the building and head for a smaller sidewalk through an alley. I feel uncomfortable walking around out here, even if the sun is about to go down."Is it a long walk?" I ask Sofia while looking around where we are going, I feel on the edge for every step we're taking."We are heading for the forest right outside the city, we always take this way when we are going there. The walk takes about ten minutes if we don't shift and run instead," she answers when I see Heidi quickly stop right in front of me and sniff in the air.The sight has my heart picking up in speed, and I hold my breath and wait for her to say something or continue. She looks around for a bit before I see her motion for us to start again."Don't worry, you can't be safer than being under Heidi's protection. I have never met anyone with the fighting skills she has. Sofia breaks the silence and sta
Dane povThe run back doesn't take too long, and once we reach the pack grounds, I instantly take off towards the hostpital. I know she will be there and working. It doesn't matter what happened before or how hurt she got, my mate is a tough one and the best woman the moongodess could ever have gifted me."There she is!" I say to her back when I find her standing inside her doctor's office, reading a document in front of her desk. Her beautiful body makes me feel warm inside every time my eyes land on her."Are you all back?" She says and swirls around to meet my gaze when I take long strides over to where she is standing and pull her into my arms. I knew she was alright, but it calms me and my wolf to have her close."No, it's just me and a guard here to get some cars." I say to her hair when she pushes of my chest and breaks free from my hug."You know you can't leave him there alone, he will kill every rogue that crosses his path," she says anxiously. Ever since the day he came bac
