Nathan POVMoonglow Pack - Modesty CabinRunning cleared my head enough to push back my beast. Lyon wanted to be free, to roar his protest to the sky, but I needed him to work with me to hold us together. I had no idea what would happen if I were caught going Lycan on Moonglow territory.My parents didn't deserve to deal with the fallout though. I was their miracle child. I was their hope for the future. They had given me everything they could and they'd continue to try to give me everything they had until they were unable to give anything more because there was nothing more to give.I wanted to be the son who made my parents proud, not the tantrum-throwing boy-beast who shamed my House.Throwing open the door to the Modesty Cabin, I entered the living area where the scents of my companions lingered. I focused on picking them apart as I paced the open space in front of the sofa.Art smelled of secrets and musky Alpha power while a hint of Tyler wafted around to put a bold, masculine f

Rachel POVMoonglow Pack TerritoryEvery part of me felt electric as Tyler blocked me from view with his body, shielding me from my real father in an unmistakable display of possessiveness and protection.I had never felt loved in all our years as a mated pair.I had never known how good it could feel to know my mate would protect me above himself without hesitation.Alpha Inspector Art Windsor was a monster of a man and his wolf was a nightmare from Hell, but he couldn't come close to making me feel as safe as Tyler Wright did.My mate wanted me! My mate would fight for me! My mate was prepared to go to war for me!My heartbeat was thunder in my ears as Tyler tugged me along. I felt light for the first time in ages -my body's changed shape a non-issue in the wake of my mate's show of possession- as I practically flew down the gravel path to the visitor cabins. My feet moved as if I had wings; I would have run all the way back to Wright House if Tyler would have just led the way witho

Rachel POV"Wait here for me?" I murmured to Tyler, not wanting to wake up either of our wolves while they were drowsing in contentment.Tyler made a sound of consent before sliding out of the car, taking my hand to help me out on his side. I'd spent the entire trip stuck to him like glue so it was easy to slip out beside him. We were pressed together chest-to-chest and my face flushed for an entirely different reason than before.Would I ever get over how sexy my mate was?I tilted my head up to meet Tyler's eyes, surprised to see a gentleness there I didn't know he was capable of showing. His eyes stayed on mine as he slowly lowered his lips to meet mine in a soft kiss which quickly grew harder, more demanding, our mouths opening as we struggled to taste each other.Tyler's hard body was a perfect example of masculine excellence and I molded every curve of my body to his hard planes while he kissed me until I was dizzy and clinging to him.I didn't break away from his kiss until I w

Nathan POVInterstate Highway"---Did you score with Wright's baby mama? Is that where you got all your insight on pregnant women?"The words echoed in my head and the steering wheel cracked under the pressure of my grip. I forced myself to relax, breathed in and out, tried to regain my control which I seemed incapable of holding onto these days.A part of me wanted to find a dark cave to crawl inside and sleep off the rest of my life in shame.The prouder part of me, the wolf inside me, refused to lay down and die. Lyon was stronger than me, always had been, always would be. I didn't mind having a strong wolf though because it made me feel confident rather than belittled.I knew I was stronger because of my wolf, not weaker because he outpaced me the way the sedan had outpaced the car from Moonglow Pack."If you say anything like that about Rachel again, I swear I will kill you."Threatening to kill a member of the Alpha Council's personal staff -an Alpha Inspector no less- was punis

Rachel POVWright HouseSettling Lindy in had been only a matter of walking her inside the apartment, telling Bella who she was, and pointing her in the direction of the bedroom. She had laid down on the bed only to fall asleep within minutes. I told Bella to call when she woke up or if she needed anything and I went home.Home with my mate.Tyler and I changed cars with Nathan without speaking to one another at all. I tried to say goodbye only for Nathan to walk away from me with his head down as if he couldn't even look at me.I wondered how much of his feelings were because of me and how much were because of Lindy and then I didn't wonder anything at all about Nathan because I was in the back of the sedan with Adam behind the wheel and Tyler at my side.Tyler didn't wait for the car to pull away from the curb before his hands were on my body.His big hands started at my waist, squeezing my hips before tracing up my ribs to cup my breasts. Pregnancy was already starting to make my b
