"No Shifting. No bane. No fighting. No stress." I nodded and sat up smiling at Doc Jackson. "Got it." I said smiling. "Miss Belle may I speak to you, alone." He added glancing over at Jacob.
"Uh, yeah sure." I replied glancing over to Jacob. He rolled his eyes but walked out the door.
"Those pups aren't his are they." My eyes widened. "Those are the Alpha Calebs." He stated crossing his arms over his chest. "They are not his. These pups are mine. And mine only." I growled wrapping my arms around my waist.
"Ariana." He sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "Those pups have Alpha blood in them." I could feel the blood drain from my face. He's going to tell Caleb! Oh God! What if he takes my babies!
"Please don't tell him!" I pleaded. Tears stinging the back of my eyes as I gazed up at the doctor. "I'm not." He smiled softly. "What?" I asked stunned.
"That boy. He... he isn't mature enough to be a father yet. He would do something he would regret." He sighed. "Did he mark you?" He asked. I nodded still stunned. Nobody went against their Alpha.
"Do you want to be connected with him?" He asked staring straight into my eyes. "No." I replied. My wolf growled at my answer making me cringe.
"Then you have to move. If you're far from him, the connection weakens and finally it breaks." He explained walking over to his desk. "I have a home in New York. You can move out there until the connection breaks. After that you can do as you please Miss Belle." My eyes blurred and without really thinking about it, I rushed to the man and threw my arms around him. "Thank you. Thank you so much." I whispered.
I could feel him tightening his hold on me before pulling me away. "There's a catch." He murmured. "Your wolf.. she might detach herself from you. She will still be in there with you, but she'll only surface if you really need her." My heart felt as if it dropped down to my stomach. I loved my wolf. She was a part of me.
"Here's the address to my loft. If you decide to go please don't go alone. New York is a tough city." I nodded and gave him a soft 'thank you' before making my way to the door. "Ariana." I paused and turned back to Doc Jackson.
"I.. I would really love it .. if .. if you could keep me updated on the pups. Like you know they'll mature very quick and.. I - Of course I will." I interrupted smiling at the flustered doc in front of me.
We bid each other goodbye before I rushed out to find Jacob. I grinned when I found him in the kitchen eating up the cookies. "Always eating Mr.Brown." I tsked putting my hands on my waist.
"Want some?" He winked. I laughed and snatched the cookies before making a dash to the front door. I was about to open the door when it flew open hitting me in the face. Making me fall on the floor with a big 'opf' and cookies fall in my hair and all over the floor.
"Ariana?" A deep voice questioned. I groaned both in pain and pleasure. The pain from the door slamming into my face and pleasure that voice was sending throughout my body. "Oh shit! I'm sorry." I could feel him leaning over me making my wolf purr out.
His body shook hearing the purr. "Stop laughing ass." I intended for my voice to sound hard and pissed not breathy and dreamy. I hated what he did to me. "I knew you wanted me." He laughed. I didn't have to open my eyes to know he was smirking down at me.
"I already had you. Not that great." I growled sitting up.
Lie.
That was a big fat lie. I was drunk off my ass and I could still remember how good he felt. How loved I felt. How I felt I was on cloud 9. I couldn't wait to make love to him over and over again.
"That's not what all the others say." He growled standing up.
I cringed and stood up. As soon as I stood upright my head spinned making me stumble. "Whoa there." Caleb chuckled his deep sexy-stupid stupid chuckle. His arms wrapped around my waist holding me against his solid chest.
"Let go Caleb." I whispered gently pushing against his chest. I couldn't afford to become attached. I was leaving. I already made up my mind. Doctor Jackson was right. Caleb wasn't mature enough to be a father.
"Don't ruin the moment." He pleaded holding me impossibly close. "Caleb please." I gasped as he kissed his mark where my shoulder meets my neck. "You're mine. Not Jacob's." He growled nipping at his mark. I bit my lip holding back the moan that was threatening to come out.
"I'm your mate. You can't be with anyone but me. Nobody can make you feel as good as me." He growled kissing down my neck. "Nobody gets you but me." He growled again. His hold on me tightening more if possible.
My eyes were shut as he kissed my jaw going down to my neck and dipping down to kiss the top of my breast. My wolf was thrashing , she wanted out. She wanted to rip his clothes off and make love to him right there in the entry of his home.
"Aria." Jacob's voice cut through my daze making me push Caleb away from me, before Jacob walked into the hall.
"Are you okay?" He questioned glaring at a flustered Caleb. I nodded fixing my shirt that had ridden up. "Let's go." I stuttered quickly opening the door. Jacob followed suit and wrapped his arm around my waist. I glanced back and saw Caleb glare at Jacob's arm around me before narrowing his eyes on my own. His gaze broke my heart. He looked like a lost puppy. Heart broken.
~*~
"Aria.. are you... are you really going to leave?" Mariah stuttered standing against my doorframe. As soon as I came home I dragged my parents, my sister and Jacob into the living room. I explained how I found my mate and how I was rejected. And finally how I was pregnant. By the time I finished my father had already made his way to the front door ready to go beat Caleb.
We all quickly held him back. After we all calmed down I explained what Doctor Jackson told me. My parents decided that they were going with me and Mariah decided to stay. Since she was already 18 they didn't mind.
Jacob.. Jacob wanted to come too. It broke my heart to tell him no. He was going to be the Beta of one of the top Packs. I knew it was his dream and I wasn't going to ruin that.
"Maybe if Caleb knew you were pregnant he would change." Mariah muttured kicking her foot softly. I bit my lip and sat down on my bed. "Maybe." I whispered thinking back on today. He was touching me like the night we made love.
"Please try. I don't wait my little sister to leave me." Riri pleaded sitting down next to me. I nodded and pulled her into a hug. I gasped as I felt two kicks. "Did you feel that!" We both shouted at each other at the same time. Mariah decided since she might not be able to be with me throughout my whole pregnancy she was going to make sure our 'Peanuts' knew wo she was.
"I'm your Auntie Riri, and I'm not weird! I promise. Your momma might lie and say I am. But it's not true!" Mariah whispered/shouted. I giggled and rubbed the spot they kicked. It was real now. I had two little pups in me.
That night Mariah and I decided to have a Belle Night. Meaning Mariah, our mom and I would stay up and watch our favorite chick flicks, gossip, facials everything. That night I went to sleep with a genuine smile on my face.
"Ariana please tell me this is a sick joke!" Jacob yelled. I cringed and pulled on my over sized knit sweater. Since my stomach was more than noticeable I had to hide it now. "No Jacob. I have to do this, for Riri." He scoffed and turned away from me. "Yeah for Riri." He replied sarcastically.
I pursed my lips and breathed in deeply. My wolf didn't like the way he was speaking to me. He was acting like he owned me. "Its my decision Jacob and if you don't like it, oh well." I growled snatching my bag off the floor before storming off.
By the time I reached the corner of the hall my nerves were going haywire. Today I was going to tell Caleb he was going to be a father. Our future depended on him.
I smiled as I saw him shifting through his backpack. Unaware of anything around him. His hair was a mess on the top of his head but like usual he pulled it off. His lips were pulled back in a smirk as he read something making my stomach do flips.
"Caleb." I whispered as I reached him. He stiffened and turned the other way. I frowned and pulled on his shirt before he could storm off. "What's wrong?" I frowned. I lifted my hand to caress his cheek but he pushed me away. "Go be a slut elsewhere." He growled his eyes flashing.
"What!" I yelled narrowing my eyes on his own. "You heard me." He scoffed. "Why would you say that?" I whimpered. I winced realising he was hurting my wolf. She was curled in a ball whimpering at her mate's choice of words.
"Please Ariana. You know you're a slut. You fucked me then ran off to my bestfriend. You probably fucked him like you fucked me huh! How many guys has the great Ariana Belle fucked?" He yelled. I blushed in anger and embarrassment. People stopped and stared, most from our pack.
"You.Are.A.Slut." he growled stepping closer to me with each word. That was it. That was all it took for me to snap.
"One! I've fucked one person, You! And let me tell you I regret it every single day!" I yelled pushing his chest. He looked genuinely surprised. And that, for some reason pissed me off even more.
"Jacob has been the only person there for me! He picked up the broken pieces when you rejected me!" People gasped around us, but I didn't give a damn. "You're such a damn hypocrit! For the past month I had to go through the damn pain as you slept with Sarah! Every single fucking night!" I sobbed hitting his chest. He just stood there letting me. By now everyone was dead silent.
"I'm just glad to know what you think of me now. Now I made my decision." I whispered leaning my head against his chest. Letting my wolf have one last touch with her mate. But even she was beyond pissed.
"What?" His voice was hoarse and it hurt my wolf to hear him like that. "I won't bother you anymore." I sniffed and pulled away from him. He frowned at me and took a step to me but my body moved away from him like he was poison. I was ecstatic that for once my wolf was on my side.
"Goodbye Caleb." With that I ran off. I was tempted to shift but I knew it could hurt my pups. So I ran all the way home. Once I ran inside I went straight to my room and pulled all my clothes into my suitcases before barging into my parents room. "I'm ready to leave."
5 Years Later ~ "Jacob we'll be okay." I sighed for the hundredth time. "Ariana, you guys need to be careful. Please babe." He pleaded. I groaned and slammed my suitcase close. "Jacob I'll see you soon." I laughed before hanging up. I threw my cell onto my bed before jumping into the shower. I quickly washed my hair and body before stepping out. I wrapped my blue robe around my body before stepping out. I pulled on my black bra and matching panties before stepping out into the long hall.I walked into the yellow painted door and smiled. My little angels were running around the room pulling on their clothes. "Need help?" I smiled walking further into the room. "Mommy! I can't tie this!" Joey frowned pointing at his black vans. "Aria, you're so loud." Quin groaned stepping into the room. Quin was my bestfriend and roommate. After my parents got remarried for their 25th anniversary I decided my Angels and I had to move. Of course my parents refused and left Jackson's loft to me. It g
"Mommy! His name is Wolfie not Caleb!" Zoey giggled breaking me out of my daze. "Zoe baby, please get off of Ca-Wolfie." I pleaded glancing back at Quin who had a firm hold on Joey. Joey was glaring daggers at Caleb. He always knew when there was danger around or when I was uneasy, he was such a mommas boy. "Joey go inside with Quin." I demanded as Caleb's wolf form stepped forward growling at me. "No!" He yelled breaking out of Quin's hold and ran to stand in front of me. "Joey!" I hissed grabbing onto his arm. "Listen here Wolfie-" he growled "you don't growl at my mommy! My sister likes you but I don't!" I gasped and pulled him into my chest as Caleb let out a weird noise. "Mommy Wolfie didn't mean it." Zoey pouted. "Zoe get off of him." Joey demanded. His Alpha blood was starting to show up. "Fine!" Zoe frowned as Caleb lowered himself so she could slide off. He licked her cheek making her laugh before standing up to his intimidating height. "You guys go on in with everyone.
"I...I..I'll have to think about it." I muttured looking away from his sky blue eyes. I heard him sigh and walk away. "You're leaving?" I whispered narrowing my eyes on his back. I cringed hearing myself, so weak. "My wolf.. he's.. I have to leave." He sighed walking back to me. "Please." He whispered kissing my forehead before walking out of my front door. I frowned and slowly walked to my front door locking it. 'Why did you do that! ' my wolf growled making me cringe. 'We need to make sure he wont hurt our pups' I growled back.She growled lowly but submitted. She knew our pups were more important than our mate."Mommy." I turned away from the door to my twins standing in the hall in their pjs. "He made you cry." Joey growled narrowing his eyes on my own. Instictively my hand wiped away the unknown tears. "He would never make mommy cry! He's mommies prince! Right mommy?" Zoey grinned. I smiled and walked to my babies. "Why are you two awake?" I asked narrowing my eyes on the
"Papa Jackson!" Zoey squealed as she found him walking around the pack house in his sweats eating a pop tart. "Zoey Joey!" He grinned stuffing the rest of the pop tart into his mouth. I giggled and watched as the twins rushed to him and attacked his legs. "Hey Jackson." I smiled walking up to him and kissing his cheek. "Hello sweetheart. How did you guys like the house?" He asked picking up the twins into his arms. "We loved it." I grinned as the twins immediatly started gushing about their rooms. "Peanuts!" Mariah's voice squealed coming across the room. As soon as their feet were on the ground they rushed to her. "How was Caleb." Jackson whispered. I bit my lip and looked out the window. There he was talking to another pack member. Gosh he was so beautiful. "Aria?" Jackson laughed making me jump in suprise. "I'm guessing everything's okay now." He chuckled making me blush. "I'm seeing if it'll work out." I muttured staring at my feet. "Ariana!" I turned towards the front door
"Ari baby please just ... please call me. I lo-" I pulled the phone away from my ear and pressed the end button, ending the voicemail. "Another call?" My eyes snapped up and met the familiar pair of blue eyes. "Yeah." I whispered staring at the phone in my hand. "What am I supposed to do Jake?" I cried shutting my eyes as tears fell from my eyes. "Oh Ari." He sighed laying next to me on my bed. He pulled my body close to his and ran his fingers through my hair. "Where are the twins?" I asked quickly sitting up. Yesterday I picked them up and brought them back home. They never asked what happened. Its like they could feel it. We laid in bed and watched movies and pigged out on ice cream. After that we decided to sleep. It broke my heart when Zoey cried silently when she thought I fell asleep. My worst fear came true. Caleb hurt my baby. "Quin took them to see the other pack kids." Jake said pulling me back into his arms. I sighed in content as his fingers ran down my back. I bit my
One week. Seven days. One hundred and sixty eight hours... since I've heard from both Caleb and Jacob. Every time I take the twins to see Jackson, Caleb's gone with ... with Sarah. Sarah from highschool. Sarah his girlfriend of seven years. Sarah his fiancee, the future Luna of the Crimson Pack. And Jacob. He's been ignoring me. He doesn't answer my text or calls and he's never at his house. And I feel completely lost without him. He's my anchor when I feel lost, and now he's not here. "Mommy! Hurry we're going to be late!" Joey yelled snapping me out of my depressing thoughts. I quickly threw my hair up in a bun and ran out to the livingroom where Joey was in his Baseball uniform looking incredibly handsome. Just like his father. I grinned down at him and grabbed his baseball cap from the kitchen counter and put it on his head. "You look dashing." I giggled. "Mooom." He groaned walking towards the door. "Wait! We need Zoey!" I gasped rushing to the yellow painted door. "Zoe?"
As I made my way out of the recreation center I dug my cell phone ouy of my purse and scrolled down to the number I've been staring at for the past week. I bit my lip before hesitantly pressing call. Five rings later and his deep voice cane through. "What do you want." I cringed at the harshness but shrugged it off. It wasn't about me. "We need to talk." I stated trying to sound unaffected by his tone. "I dont want to talk to you." He laughed. I laid my hand on my chest as I felt that familiar tug of sadness. But once again I shoved away my feelings and my wolf's pathetic whines. "We need to talk about the twins ... Alpha." Since he was acting like a total dick who wanted nothing to do with me. I decided to call him Alpha. It wasnt a huge deal. But it just reassured him I saw him as nothing but my alpha. "Come to the pack house." He muttured. I nodded jumping into my car. "Okay." I said clearly starting the car hanging up. Twenty minutes later I parked in the pack driveway. I bi
After I picked up the twins we all went to Godfathers Diner. It was a very old diner that had been around since my grandparents were young. And it had been my favorite place since I was a child. "Hello darlings what can I get ya'll?" The waitress grinned pulling out her notepad from her pink and white stripped apron. "Can I have a double cheeseburger with fries?" Joey asked looking at me. I sighed and rolled my eyes but nodded. "Thank you mommy!" I laughed and nodded to Zoey. "I'll have a .... mommy I don't know." She pouted closing her menu. I hummed and glanced down at my own menu. "How about we share a pepperoni pizza?" I asked smiling at the waiting waitress. "Yes!" She cheered. "My mommy and I will have a large peppi pizza." She told the waitress handing her all three of our menus. "Coming right up sweetie." The waitress chuckled putting away her notepad and taking the menus."You have some lovely children." She sighed before skating away. I smiled and turned to face my kids
