*** KAREN'S FLASHBACK CONT' ***I can't make any sense of what he is saying, but I knew that his words had a lot of meaning behind them. The next time Wes pulled back, I looked into his emerald eyes and see so many emotions I don't know what to make of them. I step back out of his arms and then run; he doesn't stop me this time and I don't stop until I am home. All afternoon and throughout the night, I couldn't get his kisses and his touch out of my head. He even entered my dreams, making me wake up all hot and sweaty. We have the next day off from school as it is closed due to the celebration. I do something that I have never done, and that is, stay in bed. I don't want to see anyone as I try to understand why I feel for Wes the way that I do, because I haven't known him for that long. But I should have known I wouldn't get the day to myself because at around lunch, my mother knocks on the doorframe to the bedroom and says, "Cass, Trent, Misty, Mike, and Max are at the door wonderi

*** KAREN'S FLASHBACK CONT' ***Once his release is finished, he then rolls us over so I am lying next to him but laying on his chest. I am surprised to see that it is dark when I look up and see the moon and the stars looking down on us. Just as I am drifting off to sleep, Wes rubs his hand along my arm and whispers, "Don't fall asleep, sweetheart. It's getting late. We should head back into the village..." I sigh as I come back to reality. Realising what I had just done, I sit up, pulling my dress up to cover my breasts once more. I then pull the thin straps of my dress back onto my shoulders. I look over at him with tears stinging my eyes and whisper, "I guess you are going to leave now..." He stops what he is doing and looks at me with surprise. "Karen, what do you mean?" "You're a newcomer and once a newcomer gets what they want, they leave... Soo! You will leave now..." Wes moves and places his hand on my cheek, using his thumb to wipe away the tears that managed to escape

I look at Wes with tears in my eyes. He struggles against John, but John has a really good hold on him. Robert then uses the small knife in his hand to cut one of the straps of my dress, allowing him to rip it down to expose my breast. He then leans down and wraps his lips around it, sucking and slobbering all over it. I shiver in disgust as I sob, "No... Stop... Get off of me..." He then sits up again, moving his legs from side to side as he pulls and yanks on my skirt, pulling it up and around my waist. He then uses the knife to cut the sides of my underwear and pull them free, I move my hips but it doesn't seem to make a difference as he then leans forward to slobber over my mouth and along my jaw as he stabs the knife into the ground next to my head. As his lips reach n

He then turns to Valentino, "Alpha, even without the exam looking at her, we might not be able to move her to the breeding camp before she delivers..." "Can you sedate her? Will that slow the progress?" I knew he was going to ask something like that, with how my last nightmare started, so I guess this is it when he does. "Yes, I can, again depending on how close the pup is to coming." I whisper to Zachariah, as my connection to him has been open since I spoke with him that afternoon and the labour had started, "Zachariah?" "I'm here.""They are about to sedate me and move me to the breeding camp. You should be able to activate or follow the tracker as soon as they take me out of the barrier you should be able to follow." "I will come for you, no matter how long it takes. I will come for you..." "Oh, and Zach, Delta Lucas, he said he is at your disposal. If you need to use him, do!" I turn my attention back to the two beasts in front of me as one climbs on the bed by my head a

He then opens the door and walks out, closing and locking it behind him. I finally relax, I lay my pup on the bed and slowly climb off and walk over to where Valentino said the clothes and clothes were. I grab a cloth and go through the clothes. A lot of them weren't too bad, but nothing like the things Rania bought for it. I pick the nicest thing there and then walk back over to the bed. I have no idea what I am doing. I unwrap the pup from the blanket and marvel at how small it was. I remove the rags that they had on it and smile as I find out we have a son. I fold the cloth and wrap it around him, I then carefully put the clothes I picked on him. We never had a chance to even think about it, let alone talk about it, and decide on either a male or a female name. I don't want to name him without talking to Zachariah. It is something we should do together. I know Zachariah wasn't over happy when he found out about our pup, but I was hoping that as the pregnancy progressed, we could w
