POV LanceI started at my little mate I vaguely heard her Dad suggest that we get started. I was in awe of her. I couldn't believe that she was actually sitting next to me after all this time. I looked up startled when her father cleared his throat. Everyone was smirking at me and I sighed."What?" I growled."What do you want?_ her dad pressed and I rose an eyebrow."You know what I want. I want my mate to come home with me and join me in running our pack" o began.Samantha looked pained at my words and her family glared at me after I said that so I continued."But, I want Samantha to be happy, safe and comfortable even more than that so I will do what I need to do to ensure that she is." I added.The room seemed to relax and Eddie smiled at me in encouragement. He looked proud. Samantha's Mom and Stacy both looked pleased at my answer but her Dad, Troy and Sean still looked suspicious. Samantha looked at me with a questioning look."Even if that means that I go back to live with my
POV LanceI felt relief after we had decided everything. At least we had a solution and my mate would be safe and happy. It wasn't perfect and it was going to be awful to be without her but she was giving me a chance. I would be able to talk to her daily and she would be near me at least a couple of days a month. I would have to be happy with that for now. I wouldn't waste this chance. Samantha would be mine."I will write up the contract." Stacy, Troy's mate offered and the rest of us agreed."It'll be done in less than an hour and then everyone can sign it." She added.She smiled at my Samantha before she pulled out her laptop and started typing. As she worked, I cuddled with my little mate on the couch. Troy glared at me but didn't say anything and I was happy to see that Samantha didn't seem uncomfortable in my arms either."What will happen now?" She asked after a few quiet minutes.She looked to her father and then to me."Since I am over here, Troy and I should meet with a few
Stacy finished the contract and everyone read and sighed it. Samantha was exhausted and she could tell that the others were too."Okay! Everyone to bed! Samantha, you are staying in this suite in the other bedroom. Your Mom and I have the master bedroom in here. Sean, you will be in the room the next door. Troy and Stacy, you will be on the other side. Lance, here is the rest of your rooms for your warriors. Sean here is the rest of ours, please sort everyone out for me. We will meet in the lobby at 8am for breakfast and then plan The rest of our stay." Her Dad ordered and she shook her head at him."Do you think that I should even try to ask for you to stay with me?" Lance whispered in her ear and she blushed." No way. First of all, I say no.Secondly, my Dad and brother would kill you for even suggesting it." She snapped and he chuckled."Fine." He agreed as we stood."I will come by here around 7: 45 so we can go downstairs together, alright?" He tried.A part of Samantha wanted t
POV SamanthaWhen I woke up the next morning, I was startled to find Lance in my bed. Not olnly that but was cuddled close to him with my head on his chest. I jerked to sit up and woke him in the process. He grinned at me as I scowled at him."What are you doing in here?!" I demanded.His eyes softened."You had a nightmare last night and your parents couldn't wake you. I heard your screaming so I came. You relaxed when I held you so I stayed to make sure that you didn't have another one." He explained quickly.I blushed and looked down in embarrassment. I felt so defeated. No matter how much I worked or how hard I tried, I was still that little girl that Alpha David abused. I was weak. Lance growled and cupped my chin. He gently pushed face to look up at him."Don't be embarrassed baby. You are so strong. I can't believe all you have had to go through. You are so brave and I am so glad that at a young age and still be so kind and caring is nothing short of a miracle and you need to u
POV LanceI smiled at angry glare I received from Troy. If he thought that I was going to back down now that I was so close to Samantha, he had another thing, if she was my sister, I wouldn't have been just as bad if not worse. She was a treasure and I was glad that she had a family and pack that understood that.Of course, that meant that I had to work that much harder to prove that I would treat her the way she should be treated. She should always be treated as the goddess that she is. I smirked when I spotted her rolling her eyes at her brother's glare. He scoffed in return but then went back to eating.I looked over at Sammy in awe. That kiss we shared was beyond incredible. She was everything I could ever want. Strong, sweet, smart, and above all so beautiful both inside and out. I was going to do anything and everything I could to be worthy of her.I bravely put my arm around the back of Sammy's chair and moved my chair closer to her as the Dad filled me in on the plans for the
POV SamanthaMom knocked on my bedroom door as I looked into the mirror helplessly. I had showered and done my hair and makeup but none of the outfits Mom packed seemed right for me. This was our first date and I really wanted it to go we."Come in!" I called and she entered but paused when she looked at me.She smiled at my face but frowned when she saw that I was still in my robe."I have nothing to wear!" I whined and she giggled."Don't worry, I have the perfect dress and shoes." She announced and rushed back out.She returned a few moments later with a grin, holding a red dress that was stunning."Really?" I asked and nodded."I bought this the other day but I think that it will look better on you." She grinned and I hugged her."You are the best Mom in the entire world." I guessed."Come on, let's get you dressed. He is waiting." She rushed to help me with the dress and the perfect shoes.I was relieved to see that it all fit perfectly. Almost like it was Made for me."You look
POV LanceI sighed in happiness when I awoke. My mate in my arms, my pack was safe and I was working to make more allies to protect them both. All was as it should be. I just wanted this forever.Samantha's eyes blinked open. For a moment they held confusion and then she remembered everything and she smiled shyly at me."Did I have any more nightmares?" She whispered and I shook my head."Not that I could tell." I replied and grinned back at her."Good. I would feel bad if I woke you up" She replied.I shook my head at her words."Don't ever feel bad at that. You should wake me anytime you need me. I would be upset if you didn't. I'm here to help you." I pushed."You really are too good." She whispered."Now we both know that you are the good one in this relationship. I'm just trying to catch up." I teased as I pulled her closer to me.I kissed her on the head and sighed. Of course, we were disturbed by a knock on the door. Before either of us could say anything, the door flew open
POV SamanthaI smiled up at Lance as we walked out of the airport. I was happy that he had agreed to come with us to my pack. I had so much that I wanted to show him and I was excited to see my pack members that I had missed so much."I love seeing you so happy." He whispered to me as we settled into the SUV that picked us up."I missed my pack so much I can't wait to show you off to everyone." I teased and he grinned down at me."Is that all I am to you? Arm candy?" He joked back and I nodded.He growled playfully and kissed him.I was relieved to get back to our pack land I had been worried about the well being of my pack members and I wanted to get back to my daily routine. I had to take a break on my degree while we were gone and I still needed one more year to finish it. I was anxious to finish it and graduate. I also wanted to get back to the gym and to boxing once a week. I had missed it so much.The one thing I wasn't looking forward to was seeing Jon again. Dad told Troy an
