I thought, tracing my finger over his angular jawline as his stubble tickled my fingertips, "You are thinking very hard."Levi suddenly exclaimed, "I want a child."Nothing came out of my mouth when I opened it. I was unable to speak, which had never happened to me before. And it wasn't that I was stumped for words; rather, it was more like my brain had simply shut down.I finally mumbled, biting my bottom lip, "A child." "A baby, a kid, someone who needs me.""I know it's a scary idea, especially with everything going on right now," Levi said as he gave me a serious look. If I weren't dead serious about getting what I want, I also wouldn't have brought it up. I've always wanted to have children, but I always thought I'd wait till later in life to do it. And now that I'm thirty, have two Packs, and a partner I adore, I know that the time is right."Now, we require two heirs. Alphas in the future for both packs.Levi continued, smiling to himself, "Yes, the eldest son will take over Eq
When Levi initially broached the subject of having kids, my response was a resounding "no, hell no." However, it was phrased more delicately so as to save his feelings.When I suggested that we wait until I was eighteen, Levi reluctantly agreed. But even though I was taking the pill, my pregnancy threw that whole strategy into a loop. I suppose Levi simply had super sperm, or perhaps he was just incredibly motivated. Even though I didn't want a baby right away, I must admit that I was little anticipatory. Although not as giddy as Levi was, it was still understandable.Levi caressed my stomach and then grabbed my hand, saying, "So I've been thinking about this, and this," pointing to my engagement ring.I retaliated, "I'm not being a fat bride," at him.Laughing, he said, "Pregnant, not fat." His breath tickled my neck as his thumb traced arcs over my stomach.I complained, "Yet, I don't want to be a fat or a pregnant bride." Levi gave me a sidelong glance while rolling his eyes, but h
As I flipped to the following episode, I giggled to myself. I watched the entire first season of the show all by myself that day, but I thought the perfect time to begin the second season was at three in the morning on a Sunday, the night before my geometry test. However, I must admit that I have a TV addiction.My laptop had died and I was dozing off with my head in the bowl of popcorn when I woke up to the alarm, so I must have slept off during the subsequent episode. Before getting out of bed, I sighed in disgust and just a little bit of pride in myself. I fell over an empty bottle of coke while swearing like a sailor. I gave the coke bottle the middle finger as I turned around, as if it had been placed there on purpose to be in the way.The home was abruptly broken up by a deep voice. You had better get out of bed, May.I screamed, "I'm out of bed," cutting off my asshole brother.If you aren't down by the time I leave the home in 15 minutes, I'll leave you and your idiotic ass be
Caleb, the Alpha's kid, was a bit younger than I was. I didn't see him very much because he was being homeschooled as part of his training to become Alpha. However, I had issue with my mother's repeated hints that she saw the two of us as friends even if I didn't actually mind him.Teenage years are when werewolves change. I hadn't Shifted yet, which wasn't unusual, but my brother and both of my parents had done so in their early teens. I had not Shifted even though I was sixteen. I was the smallest child in the family once more.My mother was certain that Caleb and I were mates despite the fact that Caleb hadn't Shifted yet either but could at any moment. My mother was preoccupied with the idea that I would someday become the pack's Luna since an Alpha could only ever date another Alpha or a Beta. There is nothing worse that comes to mind.Caleb walked to stand next to me and grinned at me. His father started talking about the planned visit from an Alpha of another Pack as I returned
We were all standing there one moment, then the next, several idiots started attacking us. One of them shoved me over, and I smacked my head on the concrete. They would cheerfully beat me up regardless of the fact that I was a girl. As Mac was holding me to the ground, I attempted to shove him off of me, but it was useless. Even though I was quite strong for my size, once I got pinned, it was useless.Before punching me in the face, he gave me a wicked smirk. My cheek was throbbing, and I yelled in agony. I started crying right away. I loathed sobbing, but I also loathed how pitiful and insignificant I felt. I only wanted a fair fight once, but until I Shifted, I would never be able to defeat the four jerks who were the school football players.As I lay on the ground sobbing like a helpless child, I could hear my companions' cries for help. As I sobbed, I twisted into a foetal posture in an effort to at least defend myself. However, the altercation didn't last long, and the bullies so
It won't get much better than this, I said to my mirror. My face was little and in the shape of a love heart, with big, round eyes and small features. I detested those darn freckles, which covered almost every inch of my face. The freckles were still noticeable even on my dark Latin skin. Although in a twelve-year-old way, I was cute. Roland commanded me to "hurry the fuck up."My father yelled out at him, "Watch your language, Ro." I rolled my eyes and turned away from my mirror before leaving the room. I strolled alongside my family to the Alpha's home, lagging a little behind while they talked. My dad yelled at me, "Mabella, keep going."When my parents and I got to the Alpha's house, Alpha Parker invited them to join him in his office for a drink with Alpha Ethan and his Beta. Why don't you go hang out with Caleb, my mum said, "Darling." I rolled my eyes because I didn't like that she was still trying to persuade herself that I would be Caleb's mate.I rolled my eyes when they we
The first to speak was my father, who turned to Seth, the Alpha Zev, and stated that I was his mate. My father screamed in rage, "You are incorrect.If I'm not mistaken, she is mine, Levi said to my father while narrowing his eyes.My dad countered, "She's a kid. Before he appeared to comprehend what my father was saying, Levi turned back to face me and gave me another quick glance. He asked me, appearing to come out of his protectiveness, "Damn, how old are you?" When I opened my mouth to respond, my father spoke before me.He yelled, "She's sixteen; she hasn't even Shifted. She cannot be your partner because you are old enough to be her father.Not nearly, but sure, I get your argument, snorted Seth. He let out a loud sigh and looked concerned as he ran his fingers down his face. I wasn't really sure how to approach the whole thing. I had not yet Shifted, so I had not experienced the mating link. But I couldn't help but feel a strong attraction to Seth.Levi looked at me once more
There was some movement when Dean rapped on the door. The third in charge was standing in front of me outside the spare house's bedroom where Levi was staying. Seth, of course, had the largest room in the home even though all of the Equinox Wolves were staying there.Levi yelled out, "What?" and I trembled within in response to his husky, male voice.Dean called and said, "It's me."Levi screamed, "Good, pack your crap. We're going today. I want to go before I have to see her again." I whimpered inconsolably in my head, but my face was expressionless. Before attempting to open the door, Dean gave me a sympathetic look. It was secure. Dean, it's locked, said Seth.You need to speak to your mate, so open it up, man.Levi stormed across the room while growling. My partner is. When the door was opened, Dean and I were in his direct line of sight."Your mate is right here," I said, frowning. Levi gave me another quick glance, his face as expressionless as mine. In all honesty, he was the m
