Turning Eighteen. I had informed Lance of every detail regarding Alpha Hansen’s involvement with the death of Ricardo. How Fern had confirmed the bomb was meant for me and that I was certain Hansen was innocent and had been controlled. Lance had now asked that I leave everything to him from now on, that I stop getting too involved. A difficult request for me to agree to, but I agreed to it all the same. Hansen was still being held for questioning but was being treated well. Lance had entrusted Trey and some warriors to manage the Hansen pack while their alpha was off site. Blake offered to assist Trey but Lance completely refused. I could see how well protected she had been although she thinks she has always been little miss independent. Having left Ricardo’s funeral before attending his wake, I had missed out on meeting Blake’s parents. Apparently her father Giovanni wanted to join in on their collection of me, but Lance had denied him at his command. Lance was conscious of not le
Fated Mates!I didn’t know what to expect! No one had ever told me how it felt to find your mate and with it being such an internal event, I never thought it polite to ask. Even Blake, I never asked her what if felt like when she met Trey but judging by her frozen state at the time….her reaction spoke volumes. I didn’t expect this. I can’t move. I am rooted to the very seat that is keeping me from being a collapsed mess on the floor. His intoxicating rich plum and toffee scent reaches out to me like an invisible hand pulling me to him. Is this how he has felt the entire time? How has he managed to get anything done? “Lance…” I breathe out as he enters the door with a smirk on his face. He takes his time, every footstep leaves an echo in my inner ear. “Happy Birthday Angel.” He seductively grins, knowing full well the impact he is having on me. It’s like a gravitational pull towards him. I won’t be able to stop falling until he catches me. A possessive growl leaves my throat, whi
Feeling inadequate. “I think I’m clean enough.” I giggle as Lance continues to clean my lower region. “You can never be too sure…” He says as he places a kiss on my inner thigh before standing up and kissing me on my lips. I was officially obsessed with him, I don’t think I could ever be in a room without him from now on. I couldn’t take my eyes off him, or his even more muscular body. His body that had already become stronger in being an expectant father, but also even more powerful from now being King. I could also feel the twins craving to be near him, for him to protect them. I mean it hurt a little bit…I was trained for skin combat. Wait until they can see me fight. “Your mark is taking shape.” He says catching me checking out his physique. “It is?” I say placing my hand on my neck. I look to his neck to see my mark finally taking shape also. “It’s beautiful, the letter S with a crown on top.” He says describing my identical mark to his. “A crown?” I ask in slight confusi
Gifted in a Mother’s will. “I mean you could have booked dinner.” I whisper to Blake and Colette as they watch me open my presents. “Aida even before being pregnant you couldn’t stay awake past 9pm. What makes you think, being pregnant, you’d last to 8pm in a restaurant. Lunch was by far the better option.” Blake replies, defending her reservation times. “Lorrel come join us, Aida is opening gifts.” Colette says making room for the Lycan Queen and placing Rayna in her arms for cuddles. “This one is from me.” Blake squeals in excitement. I didn’t expect gifts and I felt uncomfortable opening them with an audience. I start to open Blake’s gift which is a letter sized box. “Ah you’re too slow…” She squeals as she whips the box from out of my hands and hands me a leaflet. “It’s a mummy to be spa day.” “Oh Blake that sounds amazing, you shouldn’t have.” “Well we thought that we could have a girl spa day and shopping trip together, hence the vouchers.” Colette winks at me. Axel, M
Love at first sight. “You can’t get stressed Aida.” Brennan soothes as he switches on the ultrasound monitor. “I’m not stressed!” I sigh out with a frustrated tone from my brother’s unexpected appearance. “He thinks I am the unreasonable one…for expecting my own mother’s belongings, that were named in her will to go to me….to expect them to actually be given to me. I mean Skylar…what right has she got to my mother’s jewellery?” I pant out, irritable by yet again the toxic level of Saskia and Skylar. “Why can he not see this.” I shake my head until I recoil from the cold jelly being placed on my tummy. “Aida, you need to calm down.” Lance whispers into my ear, before nibbling on my earlobe. Which starts to ease my frustration. I lean into his mouth, my chest starting to purr from his touch. “Okay, deep breaths Aida…let’s not stress the babies out too.” Brennan says having turned on his doctor mode. He looks at the monitor before his eyebrows furrow. “What’s wrong?” I panic sitti
Blue prints. The meal was amazing. I ate so much that I joked they would have to carry me to the cake shop. It looked like they had hired out the entire restaurant which at first felt a bit silly as we were the only table there. But in time our laughter was so loud, I’m glad we weren’t disturbing other diners. We also had security on us which put Lance’s mind at ease whilst he also enjoyed the occasion. “Which cake?” Brennan asks me as I stand with him at the counter. “I don’t know, I want them all…” “Then she’ll take all of them!” Brennan orders every piece of cake with Dillon. “Happy Birthday Aida.” “Thank you Leanne.” I blush from the attention I was now getting from the pack members. My mark was quite obvious. “So when do you get to mind-link everyone?” Rafe asks me as I sit down at the table he was sharing with Hong, Blake and Tate. “I don’t know…”“You need to become a pack member Aida!” Blake shares, stuffing her face with a red velvet cake. “Okay, so like with Rory I
Seeing into her dreams Lance’s POV special chapter. I open my eyes to find myself sitting in the back seat of a moving car. A woman was singing to the music on the radio in the driver’s seat, her hair was deep dark brown, almost black. Her eyes look to me in the rear view mirror as she asks me a question, but I can’t seem to find the words to answer her. That’s when I realise she wasn’t talking to me. She was talking to the girl sitting next to me in the back of the car. I turn my head, which takes its time to move creating a vortex-like feeling. I wasn’t meant to be here!I push through the sensation as I become desperate to see the girl next to me. The girl singing her heart out has deep brown hair, almost black, shockingly bright blue eyes and a carefree attitude which I have never sensed in her before. This was my Aida. My Aida…before everything went wrong for her. “Angel?” My ears prick up when I hear her mother talking to Aida about them going to some kind of store to pic
Belonging to the Royal Santos Pack. Something had changed in Lance. He wasn’t sleeping well and I had a suspicion that he was tapping into my dreams. Like I could his when I first marked him. But I soon realised it wasn’t healthy and stopped.He asked me not to leave his sight, and I hadn’t. I had been respectful to my mate and the father of my children growing inside of me, but I couldn’t maintain this for a lifetime. I was independent and didn’t like to be a burden onto others. We had arrived at the Mulder pack for a visit and we were settling into our guest room, the same room as per my previous visits. I think this was now classed as my room because I noticed in one of the dresser drawers there was a picture of me as a baby being held by my Mum. I think Luna Rennie wanted to leave it here for me, to make it feel homely. Jade and Florence were kindly helping me with some unpacking while Lance checked the parameter with the males for security. “Anything else we can help with Yo
