Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 52 : Don’t make a move
**Levi’s POV My Luna is looking particularly stunning today. I am well aware that I need to keep my head in the game, as we need to rescue Elliot. But I can’t help noticing how shapely her legs look in that dress. Or any dress, for that matter. “My love? What are we going to do? What’s the plan for the meeting with the Kellerton pack?” She pulls my attention.“We need to be careful. I’ll have security and snipers posted around the perimeter, just in case we need backup. We can make no assumptions about their motivations. August and I will go in with you and Sophie. We stick together no matter what. I will not have you injured at this thing. Either of you.” I would far prefer that Amber and Sophie remain at a secure location while I take care of this. If that were an option, I would gladly take it. But for whatever reason, they’ve made it clear that I will not see Elliot again unless I do as they say. I swore an oath to protect my Beta, and I will honor it.
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 53 : Threats made, favors requested
**Amber’s POV “We need to act now. Our men are in position. We don’t want to use force unless absolutely necessary. The goal here is to get Elliot out alive with minimal bloodshed.” “Minimal bloodshed?” Sophie pales at the mention of shedding blood. We have been friends for so long that I can feel her fear. I hug her to steady her.“Yes, minimal. Hopefully none at all. But we can’t count on that. We don’t know this pack. I thought I did, but clearly I was mistaken if they were willing to abduct my Beta, matter what the purpose. We need to be prepared.” “I’ll go in first. Amber and Sophie, you follow me. August you come in last. There will be four of us, which is good. But we don’t know how many we’re facing. Or why we’re facing them, for that matter.” “Let’s do this,” I tell them, heading up to the door and giving the knocker three hard raps. The knocker is surprisingly whimsical. It’s carved in the shape of a wolf’s head with a ring through its nose
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 54 : A leap of faith
**Levi’s POV“I have a friend. A shifter who has knowledge of how to cure what ails our kind. It was she who has given me what I need to care for my mother during her illness. It is the reason she still lives. Modern medicine had failed us, and I truly feared she would pass until I met this woman.” I hope that I am not making a mistake by revealing this information. It is not against her rules, but I need to be certain that I am leading only those who truly need help, and would not harm her. This is a leap of faith that I do not take lightly. There are very few that I trust in this world. “Who is she? How do we find her?” Grant is understandably eager to begin. However, I need to explain the conditions of her assistance before I introduce his pack. “She lives deep within the forest. Although she has helped me for many years, I only know her by the name, ‘Hope’. I very much doubt that is her real name.” My wife holds my hand, and her touch is electric. Eve
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 55 : Some kind of magic
**Amber’s POV “Did you have a restful night’s sleep?” Grant is so kind that I don’t want to potentially shock him by telling him exactly how I spent my evening. Which mostly entailed worshiping the love of my life in that wonderful clawfoot bathtub. So I just smile and tell him the truth. Most of the truth.“Yes, it was absolutely lovely, thank you so very much! I love your guest quarters!” He is wise and does not ask for more. Instead, we focus on the road and we continue our way to Hope.As we pull up to the cottage, I recognize the flower beds out front. They appear to be exactly the same as when I was a little girl. Pink, purple and yellow blossoms cascade in a riot of color by the white picket fence. And the little white, fluffy dog running around in the front yard looks familiar to me. “Argus! By the Goddess that’s Argus!” Apparently, the little guy can hear his name even from my position in the car, and he looks toward us. Before I even th
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 56 : Raised by wolves
**Amber’s POV “I think the babies are excited about this appointment! They are moving around like crazy in there!” Levi laughs and holds my hand, “I’m excited too. Let’s see what the doctor can tell us about the legend.” I wonder if most mothers need to ask their doctors about legends involving supernatural powers. I’m thinking, probably not. “We might need to look elsewhere. I’m not sure that they teach that in medical school.” “What don’t they teach in medical school?” Dr. Tawny comes in with my chart, and I can’t help it, I’m nervous. I haven’t had any issues so far, but I’ve never been pregnant before and I’m never really sure what’s going to happen next.“First we need to know about the things they DO teach in medical school. How are the twins doing? Is everything ok?” My husband always worries about me, which is sweet. I can feel the tension in his body, and I squeeze his hand to reassure him. “Yes, everything is perfect. Both
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 57 : Luckiest woman alive
**Amber’s POV “I will never allow you to become a target. I will kill anyone who tries to harm you or my children. I will rip them apart with my bare hands!” “I greatly appreciate that my love, I do. But do you think you could calm down for just a moment? Let’s think logically about this.” I have no doubt that my husband would absolutely do exactly as he promises if danger presented itself. However, it might be better if he wasn’t quite as emphatic about it just this minute. “I am thinking logically,” he tells me, gripping the steering wheel with such force that I actually start to worry he will break it in half while he drives. Ironic, considering that he is pledging to keep me safe while doing it. “I’m thinking about how logically, I’m going to systematically hunt down and kill anyone who dares threaten you or our children!” “Well, at least you’ve got a plan.” He looks at me, considering what I’ve said. Then he bursts out laughing. His grip
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 58 : Into paradise
**Amber’s POV “It was so nice of the Kellerton pack to invite us to this. Usually, it’s only immediate pack members who are allowed to attend their parties.” Levi is still getting dressed and stands before me, glorious chest exposed. He is a Rodin sculpture in the flesh. Perfection.“To be fair, it is their celebration of Tamryn’s complete recovery. So it makes sense why they invited us. And her immediate recuperation is amazing, even by Hope’s standards.” “What’s amazing is how incredibly sexy you are without your shirt,” I tell him, leaning in to kiss him. Our lips brush lightly, and the pressure sends radiating pleasure throughout my body.“You should never wear shirts my love. Or anything at all.” My mate gives me a smile, pretending to consider my proposal. “I’m pretty sure that would result in my arrest, even among our kind.” His scent is maddening, overwhelming my senses. He always smells like lavender and freshly cut grass, my two
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 59 : Whole new motivator
**Amber’s POV“Sophie! What’s happened? Are you ok?” We find Sophie sitting down on a bench, with Elliot beside her. She’s very pale, and Elliot looks utterly terrified. “She just got dizzy and had to sit down,” Elliot explains, “But sitting down doesn’t seem to be helping.” “Don’t speak about me as if I’m not here Elliot, I’ll be ok.” Sophie hates it when anyone makes a fuss over her. And normally I respect her decision not to talk about herself. But not when it comes to her health.“Ok, I don’t mean to belabor the obvious here, but, you’re pregnant. Bad pun unintended” “Ha- ha. Yes, what’s your point?” “My point is, if you’re not feeling well, we need to make sure you and your baby are ok. I’m not saying this to worry you. I just don’t want anything to happen to you. To either of you.” I am proud of Sophie for speaking her mind more frequently these days. However, this is not an ideal time for her to decide that she doesn’t need hel
