Robert POV.Looking down at my sleeping mate, I know this is how it should have been. My fingers dance slowly up and down her bare spine. When it happened. A little kick against my stomach. My eyes widen as I look down. Seeing our pup roll in her mother’s stomach.Closing my eyes I feel for the pup and I smile hearing her heartbeat and her emotions. She is happy. Opening my eyes, I see the golden eyes of my mate staring back at me.“Good morning, my Regina.” I say, my voice husky. Her eyes flash. My little mate is turned on. She straddled me, the quilt falling away, and I see her in the morning light. She looks like a Goddess, she is glowing.“Good morning, my prince.” She says, her voice laced with sleep and lust. I feel myself becoming hard underneath her. Her hands on my chest, Marissa leans down and kisses me. Her dark hair falling free around her face, like a veil covering us.Her hips move as a shudder rolls through her, as her nipples harden. My hands go to her hips, not taking
Marissa POV.The day had finally arrived, the meeting with the Alpha’s. The days leading up to this have been wonderful. Spending time with my mate and showing him everything around the pack. To say he was shocked was an understatement. I smile back at his expression; I swear, if he was a cartoon character, his eyes would have popped out of his head and his jaw would have been on the floor. I giggle at it.As I pull on my white dress to see these wolves. I feel empowered. The only one I’m not looking forward to seeing is my ex mate, Damien Carius.“My Luna, don’t forget who you are. You can command them all to do your bidding. You can get them into submission or they die.” I look at Eleanor in the mirror’s reflection. Eleanor is the high priestess who helped unbind Zarah.She stands behind me in her white ceremonial gown, her long hair braided with a silver sword strapped to her waist. I smile at her. She is also a warrior, the same as every adult in this pack.“Thank you Eleanor. I’m
Marissa POV.Looking at Damien. I smirk at him as I feel Robert wrap his arm protectively around my waist. Damien looks at me in shock and? Is that regret I see on his face? I scoff inwardly; he realises what he had and lost. Too bad he shouldn’t have treated me like shit.“So what will it be, Alpha?” I ask, not breaking eye contact with him. He gulps as the others in the stadium turn their gazes on him. A sweat breaks out on his forehead, he is weighing his options. Submit or challenge?“Do you wish to submit to me or challenge me?” I say as Robert tightens his hold on me, but I ignore it.“Marissa. I would never hurt you. You are the mother of my pup.” He lowers his head. I narrow my eyes at him. I know this play. Damien was never one to back down or show regret for what he did. Not even to me. No, he knows how powerful I am and he is hoping he can use my pup to worm his way back in. Ha, the fool, it’s not happening.“But you did Damien. You broke promises when I fulfilled mine. You
Robert POV.Pacing the hallway outside the emergency room. It’s taking everything in me not to storm in there and demand answers. However, I know she is in great hands. Thomas is in there with the priestesses.“They will both be ok Robert. Come and sit down.” Anya takes my hand in hers as Damien storms in and I stiffen, releasing a growl.“None of this would have happened if you didn’t come into her life.” He takes a swing at my jaw, grabbing his wrist before his fist makes contact. I twist it hard as he screams before he sinks to his knees as he cries out in pain.“What, so you could continue your abuse of her? You, Jake, and your precious Jessica. You didn’t deserve her then and you certainly don’t deserve her now. Or have you forgotten she faked her death to escape you?” I say with a growl behind my teeth.The doors to the emergency room open. I drop Damien as I move towards Thomas. He looks exhausted.“Thomas, how are they both?” I ask, my voice breaking as I fight the tears that
Marissa POV.“Is there anything you need, my Regina?” Robert asks from the side of me as I sit up in bed.“Yes, I would like to go for a walk.” I say, giving him my best smile, when he groans before rolling his eyes. I have been asking him this since I woke up. Which was only a few hours ago.“I’m sorry, my queen, but no. You are on bed rest. I know it’s annoying and boring, but you need to do this. Besides, hopefully you get to go back to the packhouse in a few days. Then you won’t be as bored. How about a nice warm bath? I’ll of course, carry you.” Robert is the sweetest and, of course, I love him. But I have only been in the hospital for a day and it’s already driving me crazy.“Remember why we are doing this, Rissa? It’s for our daughter. Anyway, being waited on hand and foot isn’t going to be so terrible.” Zarah purrs in my head as she eyes our mate, licking her lips.“Zar, may I remind you? As much as you say, it won’t be terrible. You will be itching to be let out by the end of
Marissa POV.Looking at the information in front of me, I feel nothing but rage and hurt. Angry tears leave my eyes as I blink. She did all this? Faked her rare blood group, the rogue attack when she crossed the border, the perfume, wolfsbane, and silver, everything.“Marissa, are you ok?” I don’t even lift my head from the pictures of her, Jessica meeting with my sister long before I found out Jennifer was my sister. The betrayal runs deep. So either Jennifer lied or Jessica didn’t know about the deal Jennifer made with this pack. Either way, I want to kill them all.“Marissa.” I look up as I feel Zarah stir and she is pissed. A growl tears out of me before it turns into a howl. I throw the laptop across the room as it smashes against the wall. Pulling the blankets back as my claws slip and my fangs elongate. White fur sprouts along my arms as I roar again. The window bursts as I scream.“Fuck! Marissa, STOP!” I whimper at his command. I sit frozen in place before my eyes lock on him
Damien POV.My heart is breaking. I can physically hear it and feel it split in two. Jessica and her brother Jake. They were my best friends growing up. I can’t defend either of them now. Marissa is right. Jessica tried to kill my pup. I have no doubt that Jake knew, too. The evidence is enough to warrant a death sentence.“How long will it take for your sister to get here?” Marissa asks Jake, and I ignore everything as I look at the pictures in the file. My eyes sting with unshed tears. I haven’t cried since the day I thought Marissa and my pup died. This is all my fault.“Alpha Damien. The Luna is talking to you.” I look up to see the look on her face. I know I never deserved her. Goddess, I treated her so badly. The saying is true you never know what you had until you’ve lost it.“Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. Can you repeat what you said, please?” Marissa lowers her eyes before she looks back up at me. Her eyes look sad, but that’s quickly replaced with hate.“You’re actions a
Marissa POV.It’s been nearly a month since I nearly lost my pup and I’m still on bed rest. However, it makes it easier having my mate at my side. He is such a sweetheart. We are still waiting for Jessica to show up and when she does, we will be ready for her.“Baby, do you need anything?” I look at him as he enters the bedroom and my stomach growls. It’s safe to say I have gained weight. Goddess, this man of mine is a feeder. I have been having blood transfusions once every three days. I feel so much better and stronger than before.“Did you get them?” I asked, praying he did. A sly smirk appears on his handsome face as he pulled the jar of pickles from behind his back. I pouted, but soon smiled as he pulled out the chocolate sauce. I squealed in delight and made grabby hands.“Oh I love you, now gimme.” I say as he chuckles, walking towards me. He holds the jar in the air, knowing fine well I can’t reach them.“If you want them, then give me a kiss.” Don’t need to tell me twice. Pul
