BLOOM’S POVIt had been a month since that encounter with Grey. The day when I screamed out my lungs at him, then helped him with his nightmare. He woke me up the next day after I fell asleep, and as usual, kicked me out of his room. I wasn’t offended because I was starting to figure out that he was wired like that, and all I had to do was rewire him. The first step to doing that was helping him sleep better at night. The nights I didn’t hear screams were the nights that he worked all night long.It had become a ritual to sneak into his room at night, comfort him during the nightmares, and then leave before the sun was up. It affected my sleep cycle but anything for the father of my child, but really, I was doing it because I promised Tina I would. After getting up in the morning, I’d go for my training, wear myself out, then repeat it again the next day. I was getting stronger so I didn’t mind it. At first, things were awkward between Ray and I, but I didn’t want to change instruc

GREY’S POVSomething was wrong. Something was wrong, but I couldn’t put a finger on what. I wasn’t sure what it was until a guard made a mistake, and instead of chewing him out like I usually would do, I let him go. Then I realized it was because I slept better. Normally I didn’t sleep well, and that made me antsy and irritated throughout the whole day. I’d scream at people and make them wish the ground would open up and swallow them, but now I just let it go and continued with my day. I went to meet Tina. “Have you been adding a new medication to my meals to help me sleep better?” There was a smile on her face, but she said she hadn’t. So what was it? I pushed it to the back of my mind, but secretly, I was happy that I could sleep better now, and although the nightmares came, they didn’t stay for long. After a minute or two, they were gone, unlike before when they kept me away until the sun came up. Then we got attacked and my mate proved to me that she could’ve killed me if sh

BLOOM’S POVSurprisingly, I was happy. I hadn’t expected Grey to come see me at the gym. I thought it was a lie to get me into his bed. Not sexually, but to help him to sleep better. “Is that Grey? No, right?” Ray asked with a tone of disbelief. “Of course, it’s him, silly,” I replied and heard Grey laugh at that which was interesting. I didn’t think I had heard him laugh that loud before. “I think we have to reduce your training,” Ray said suddenly, and I looked at him, surprised. “Why? I don’t think I’ve learned all I need to.” He nodded in agreement with my statement, and explained, “You’re right. You still have a long way to go, but I didn’t say we would stop, just reduce it. You’re getting bigger and it’ll be dangerous to continue at the pace we’ve been going.” I let out a breath. Ray was right. “Thank you for all you’ve done, Ray,” I said sincerely, and stretched my arms wide, “Hug?” He laughed but came closer to hug me.When I got back to my room, I entered the bathroom

GREY’S POVI stood at my office window and watched as Kate alighted the car with Grey. Normally, I would have done nothing and let my brother fight his battles himself as I had always done, but Bloom wanted to do something, and I was now realizing that there was no way I could say no to her. Not when she looked like it was her duty to save others, which she did with me. She saved me and I knew now that she was too good for me. I walked to my desk and opened the drawer to reveal a pretty necklace box. The more I watched her, the more I wanted to shower her with gifts and adorn her with the finest things. She deserved it. For bringing me out of the pit, she really did, so if solving the problem between my brother and his mate made her happy, I would do it. I liked it when she looked at me with eyes that called her hero. I came out of my office with the intention of finding either my brother or his mate and having a talk with them, when I saw my brother going downstairs. “Richmond,” I

BLOOM’S POVI wasn’t familiar with the voice but I felt my mate’s body language. He was wound tight like he was about to spring up and pounce on a prey. He moved in front of me and blocked my view of the visitor. Looking out from behind Grey, I saw two people, not one like I expected to see, and they turned out to be familiar faces. One was my former mate, the one who had contributed to my trauma in not a not so little way. And the other was the bane of my existence. Cecily.“What the fuck are you doing here?” My mate growled, and I clenched my fist so hard my nail pierced into my skin. “Bloom, so nice to see you,” Cecily greeted in a fake sweet voice and an even faker smile. I blanked my face, and looked at Cecily long enough to make her uncomfortable before speaking, “I can’t say the same about you,” watching with satisfaction as the smile fell off her face. If I wasn’t trying to maintain a cool appearance, I would have laughed. She must have thought I was still the same girl sh

BLOOM’S POV“Bloom.” His mouth fell open, and my face flushed. Did he like it or not? “I’m not sure if we can go out anymore.” He must not have liked it, I thought as my face fell. Then he continued, “You’re too beautiful. I don’t want anyone to see you. I want you all to myself.” Grey moved until he was standing in front of me with just a few inches of space between us, and started to plant kisses on my neck and throat.I giggled, and Grey looked up, his gaze filled with want. “You smell delicious.”“Richmond gave me a bottle of perfume to say thank you,” I told him and he sniffed my neck again. “You like?” Grey gave a vigorous nod of his head. “I do. I could eat you up right now.” I pushed him away with a laugh just as he leaned in to kiss my lips. If he continued like this, we wouldn’t be able to leave. “Stop, Grey, let’s go.” “Let’s go then, my lady,” he said with a faux British accent and crooked his arm so I could fix my arm in. “We’re walking?” I looked at my mate in surpris

BLOOM’S POV“That applies to you, Bloom. No matter how you dress up, you’re still disgusting.” There it was. This was that premonition that something would go wrong today.I could easily have ignored Cecily, but she wasn’t alone. Her company of two other girls snickered at her words like it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. Now, I couldn’t just let it go. Sighing, I stared her up from her feet to the top of her head. “What’s that for?” Cecily asked with a displeased look. She obviously hadn’t gotten the memo yesterday that I wasn’t the same cowardly Bloom. “Cecily, poor, poor Cecily,” I said loud enough for only her to hear, and her face blank. “What’s with that tone? Do you think because—”“No, Cecily.” I put up a hand to silence her, and she spluttered in shock. First, I would take care of her friends, then I would face Cecily. “You’re her new friends, aren’t you?” Their silence was enough. “You’re probably from this Pack, right, and not the other one where Cecily came f

Bloom's pov After dinner, we went straight home and I blushed hard at how Tina winked at me. Maybe it was the smile etched on my face because she could tell I was happy and that seemed enough for her. I would give her the details of what happened later, but now I just had to get into bed.I headed for my room first, washed up, and changed into one of the ridiculous nightgowns Steph had gotten for me. It was so big that they could make two of my former nightgowns from it. It looked like a granny's gown. Although it was light blue in color and smelled like vanilla. Perhaps, this was a reminder of how big my belly was. I was trying to stifle a yawn as I walked into Grey's room, the lights had been turned down and I had to squint to find my way to the bed. "Why is it so dark in here?" I called out, but I didn't get any response.I got under the duvet and closed my eyes, eager to just fall asleep when I felt him blow into my ear. "Grey, stop it..." He chuckled and I turned to face hi
