Seraphina POVCallan and I may our way back to Liam who was now with one of our household staff while walking towards the guest bathroom.“He’s staying the night, don’t worry you will get to talk to him.” Callan whispered in my ear before guiding me towards our bedroom. “Why are we going back to our room?” I bit my lower lip now feeling self conscious with how I left our room. Callan wrapped his arm around my shoulders and gave me a little squeeze. “You’ll see,” he responded with a small smirk. I winced at the mess that was our room. Callan pressed a kiss to my temple as he sensed my unease. “Stop stressing. I’ll get everything sorted. But first,” he braced one hand on each of my shoulders and pressed down to make sit on the chaisse lounge, “stay there.” He pointed to me and walked into the ajoined bathroom. The sound of the bath running and the aroma of lavender and citrus filled the room. A minute later, Callan walked out of the bathroom in only his briefs. The sight of him made
Lyla POVA grunt escaped me as my body hit the ground. “Again,” Reaper roared. Begrudgingly I got up off the ground while my body made sounds of protest in response to the movement. I dusted off the lilac colored yoga pants and got into my defensive position. Reaper and I circled one another on the makeshirt training area we had made in the bunker. “Keep your hands up, don’t leave your face uncovered,” Reaper instructed, this time in a more fatherly tone. Reaper threw several punches out that I blocked successfully. “Show me your fire, Lyla, show me your anger.” I let out a growl as I thought about all of the stuff I had been through lately. Losing my chance at being Luna, Allister dying, and now having to be Reaper’s “toy.” I kicked my leg, making contact with Reaper’s side. He let out a grunt at the impact and gave me a smile. “Again!” We continued our training for the next hour, focusing on technique and endurance. I wouldn’t be helpless the next time I was faced with Alpha
Callan POVThe transition of Liam moving in with us was as seamless as possible. However it wasn’t short of lots of questions from Liam wondering where his family was. He was insistent that they would be back for him. “I can stay with you and Luna until my mom and dad come back,” Liam had concluded. Instead of arguing, Sera and I simply had agreed. Even though we knew the reality of the situation. They were not coming back and had no intentions of coming to get their son. My blood boiled at the thought. How any parent or guardian could just leave their child with no regard to their safety or well being was beyond me. Instead of allowing myself to hunt the bastards down that left Liam and rip them into pieces, I made myself channel that rage into something productive. I would teach the kids of the pack, basic defense skills. For the next several days after training my warriors, I would spend an extra forty five minutes teaching the minors of the pack how to maneuver simple self defe
Callan POVI was sound asleep when Sera woke me up in the with panic in her voice and eyes. “Babe, babe, please wake up,” she cried while joslting me. Her chest heaved as she spoke. I snapped straight up and looked around the room for any threats. When I didn’t find any, I looked at Sera in confusion. When I looked down her finger tips were covered in blood and from what I could see in the darkness, her face had blanched. “Call the pack doctor.” she whispered. Blood whoosed in my ears as I took in the situation before me. Concentrating, I closed my eyes and sent a mindlink to doctor Desmond. ‘I need you now!’ I boomed through the link. I refused to let myself believe that we were losing the other baby. We knew that after the accident that anything was possible, however I knew down to the marrow of my bones that my luna was strong and this baby was strong. They would both pull through no matter what. Ten agonizing minutes of waiting for the pack doctor went by as I help onto to a p
Lyla POV“Why is this taking so long?” I demanded from Reaper. Reaper’s eyes began to glow red, indicating that I needed to watch out and not anger him further. “You think what we are doing is easy Lyla?” He bit out before standing up from his chair and stalking towards me. I coward towards the wall as he gripped a handful of hair and made me look at him. His eyes were fully glowing red as his anger took over. “You need to have patience. The full moon is happening tonight. THAT, is what we need in order for everything to happen.” He threw me against the wall, letting go of my hair in the process. My scalp stung where his hand had been gripping me. It wouldn’t surprise me when I looked at the floor that a pile of my hair would be on the floor. I ran a hand through my hair trying to easy teh sting. “Do we honestly think this will work?”Reaper scubbed a hand down his beard and thought for a moment, thinking of his answer, carefully. “If it does, then Alpha Callan better be read
Seraphina POVAs Maeve and I were watching the second season of Bridgerton, we felt a strange energy in the air before something shook the house and rattled the windows from its magnitude. Before I could comprehend what was happening the windows in my bedroom shattered, sending shards of glass everywhere. I used my body as a shield over Maeve, who was closest to the windows. Allowing the blankets and pillows to give us some sort of protection.Screams and yells rang out around the pack house and from what I could tell, outside as well. Drake and Callan stormed into the room with panic in their eyes, before racing over to us and making sure we were alright. As Callan inspected every inch of my body, I couldn’t help but feel a shiver from a sense of foreboding. Callan cupped my face. “Baby, are you alright?” His eyes were of his wolf, his instincts taking over his human form. I placed one of my hands over his and nodded before looking down and noting the tiny scrapes that were now s
“Ugh harder!” I heard a female voice cry out. Whoever she was, she was getting the pounding of her life by the sounds coming from down the hall. A blush crept over my cheeks and chest as I thought about what must be happening in the room. As I continued to walk down the hallway to my room, I quickened my pace in attempts to give the couple more privacy. I wished I could experience the passion that the happy couple was clearly experiencing. However, as I got closer to my room in the Packhouse, I noticed the woman’s voice get louder.As I approached my door, a thumping sound accompanied with the soft moans of a female were emanating from my bedroom! I felt my wolf Alya instantly tense and raise her hackles. I felt my eyes dilate to that of my wolf so if there were a threat she could respond accurately. My hand shook as I grabbed the vintage gold knob. Slowly I opened the door and gasped at the sight before me. It took a few moments for me to register what was going on. An overwhelming
Seraphina's POV1 Day Prior My mind was wrapped up in the thoughts about my husband, Alister as I walked into the large auditorium that we used for pack meetings. Here at the Shadow Pack, we are always accepting new members in attempts to grow our pack. It was one of the few things we did that made our pack different from others. Some of the surrounding packs thought of us as the “pack of misfits,” but that didn’t stop my father from being the welcoming man that he was. Being the Alpha’s daughter of the Shadow pack had its perks but also downfalls. I looked down at the slender white gold band on my ring finger remembering the events of my wedding. I shook myself out of the memory, not wanting to reminisce on trialing times. I searched the small crowd of pack members and guests for Alister. Thankfully I did not have to search for long. Alister King was a woman’s wet dream with his tousled dirty blonde hair, broad frame, and sharp features. Everything about him was pure masculinity.
