Shay’s POVOnce we get back to the packhouse, Thomas asks Sara to take Victoria to her room and stay with her.“I need to talk to Shay alone. I’ll come get you later,” he gives her a kiss.He points to the elevator, and we go up to my room.“I think you and I need to have the sexual history conversation,” Thomas sits at my table which had coffee and sweets already on it. “Monica had some interesting stories from your cousins. I want to know how many are true.”“Why? Are you going to judge me?” I sit across from him.“No, but I can defend you better if I know everything. Want me to go first?”“Sure, you start.” I say, staring at him.“I’ve slept with 2 Alpha’s daughters and 6 humans. I slept with one human for a year. She was my high school girlfriend. She went away to college, and we broke up. She never knew what I am, just that I live in the commune and I’m the leader's son.”“Any complications in any of your relationships?” I ask hoping beyond hope that he had at least one.“Nope. B
Sara’s POVVictoria mind links Thomas, while getting me a cold towel .“Baby,” I hear Thomas's roar coming down the hall.“In here,” I yell back and he rushes in.“Baby, what happened?” Thomas was by my side holding my hand I could see the panic in his eyes.“I just started bleeding,” I say trying not to seem panicked but I am.“We are going to the hospital Zek has the car ready,” Thomas scoops me up as more blood runs down my legs. “Just stay awake baby. Stay awake, I love you. You are strong enough stay awake.”I feel like I’m floating away, like I’m not here anymore. I hear Thomas begging me to stay awake, but I can’t. Maybe I am weak just like Shay always said. I don’t know if we made it to the car.Im surrounded by light and a garden. I feel free, I see wolves running happily. I am happy too. I feel compelled to shift but I rub my belly and realize I’m no longer pregnant.“No,” I whisper.“Sorry to scare you,” a beautiful voice says sitting next to me. “But you are about to die
Shay’s POV I know I’m going to get a lot of hate from this, but if Sara sets a toe inside this room, I’m killing someone. I want only my mother. I don’t want Thomas in here, but I can’t stop him since he is my little girl's father. The past two weeks have been really hard on me emotionally. Thomas and I fought for six hours straight. Part of me thought he was going to reject me, but he didn’t. I apologized to Sara, Monica, Victoria, and my family. That was embarrassing as hell! Thomas finally started to warm up to me after Sara basically threatened to leave him. We are talking finally. But I don’t know if we will ever be in the same place we were. It’s also been difficult to see Sara as the center of attention. Everyone fawning over Wallace and Sara. Thomas has been only spending maybe four hours a day with me. And most of that is in the office. The pack has been dropping gifts for Wallace, the future Alpha and fussing over Sara. Even my parents are here to see their grandson. I
Sara’s POVI stagger to the hospital to get to Shay’s room. I feel the intense pain of the breaking bond and I need to see what is happening.I was feeding Wallace when I almost dropped him, because the pain hit me so hard. Thankfully, Mama was there to take him. Once Wallace was safe, my parents rushed to the hospital. I couldn’t move as fast, I’m dizzy and tired. I’m trying not to pass out. Then I feel Thomas’s fear.My Alpha is never afraid. Then I feel his pain again, only to have it disappear. Did he accept her rejection?As I get closer, I hear Shay still in pain, then I see Thomas on the floor being looked at by a doctor.“What happened?” I yell, kneeling next to my mate.“He got knocked out by a flying chair,” the doctor looked worried.I look at Shay, who is currently shaking with anger. Her eyes are glowing, and her claws are out. She gets out of bed when she sees me and stalks over to me. I’m confused, but then I realize she is about to strike.Dad pulls her back and holds
Shay’s POVMy door isn’t closed all the way and I hear my sister giggle, running down the hall to her room. Wallace is six weeks old today, guess I know what she is giggling about, oh there is Thomas’s playful growl.“We only have an hour,” Thomas said, and then I hear kissing and fumbling with Sara’s door.In an hour Thomas will come in here and spend two hours with me and Devon as our family time. Then he will take Devon to the nursery where he sleeps with the babies, so Sara and I can rest. He does all the nighttime feeding and changing.I guess they forgot to close their door all the way because I can hear flesh hitting flesh and their moans. That’s what my brain needed, a reminder that I can’t use sex to mend the bond. I can’t have sex for another two or so weeks.“Ahhhhhhh, Sara!”“Alpha!”I roll my eyes. Devon has finished eating, so I close my door. She’ll be pregnant again in no time!Was she jealous of me all those weeks when I was having sex with Thomas, and she wasn’t? Dou
Sara’s POV“Be nice to your sister,” Shay reminds Thomas, for the hundredth time. We are taking the kids to Ike, Sam, and Rebecca’s Ceremony.“She still hasn’t apologized,” he reminds.“We don’t care,” Shay and I say, in unison. “Be nice to your sister!”“I really hate the whole unison thing,” Thomas reminds us, rolling his eyes.“Then don’t piss us off,” we say in unison, making him cringe. Since Shay has been making the attempt to be a nicer person, we have reconnected as sisters. Even found a little of that twin magic we haven’t had since we were about 6.Shay had her hysterectomy two weeks ago and has recovered wonderfully. She has tried the cuddle thing and she and Thomas both said it’s just not them. I was shocked she tried, but proud of her, too.We found out yesterday I’m pregnant again. Shay was so excited for me. Not her fake excited, actually happy for me.Both babies are finally sleeping through the night, so we parents have fallen into a comfortable, works for us routine.
Sara's POV“Thank you for getting me out of the house!” Gina said, as we pull into Southern Crescent. “I was lonely without Jess and you two.”“We miss y’all too!” Shay said.We get out of the car and Gina looks like she is fighting her wolf.“Gina are you okay?” I ask.“My wolf wants control,” Gina shakes her head.“Alpha, you are so screwed,” Zek said, coming down the stairs.He stops and his wolf takes over. Her runs at me and Thomas just barely pulls me away before Zek crashes into Gina.Awwwwww!!!!!*******************************************Shay’s POVI’m absolutely jumping for joy. Gina is Zek’s mate. No wonder he couldn’t find her, she wasn't 18 yet. Well, she’s 18 now.“Hey, hey, mate in your room, not the driveway,” Thomas calls.“Yeah, says the man who mated in a conference room,” I remind him.“Eeww,” Gina said.“Congratulations, you two,” Sara smiles.“Brother, before I run off and well... You have a visitor. Megan is home from college,”Thomas’s eyes went wide.“Your hi
Thomas’s POVSara’s blood is gushing from her head. I wrap my shirt around her wound. Gina is calling, trying to get medical staff to my office. Shay is kneeling beside my sweet mate’s limp body, crying. I feel panic set in, as Sara’s breath becomes shallow.Sam appears and tries to heal her. We don’t talk, as he is concentrating. Ike appears with Jessica, and they try together. Gina is marked but the full moon is still three days away, she doesn’t have her powers.“What has happened here?” A voice of authority rings through the office.“She attacked the injured one,” Megan points to Shay. I realize Megan must have called 911 and brought the police and EMS to the house. So, she isn’t completely cold, just stupid.Medical staff arrives and takes over Sara’s care.“We are arresting you on assault charges,” the booming voice rings out. I feel Shay being pulled away, but I can’t leave Sara.“I’ll stay with Shanka,” I hear Zek say, but I don’t care.Gina is by my side following the stretch
