Be Happy Zaya POV The next morning, I awoke in bed alone. Again. My mate never made it to our bedroom last night. I was almost embarrassed to say that I was waiting for him. I didn't want to admit that I was waiting, but I was. My wolf clearly needed him more than ever right now. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones. Maybe it was the loneliness. Maybe it was the jealousy of seeing the girl with her mate and her big belly. Whatever it was my wolf and I was at opposite ends of the stick. She wanted to ignore everything that happened between me and my mate. She wanted me to ignore the heart and the pain that I felt. Or maybe it was I who wanted to ignore the pain in my heart. Maybe it was I who wanted to push past all of this and just be with him. Just to be happy. From the moment I stepped out of bed to the moment I made it to the dining hall, I kept telling myself the same thing over and over again. ‘Be happy. Be happy. Be happy.’ The repeating silent mantra worked for a momen

Just Another Day Zaya POV I grabbed Audreys hand as soon as breakfast was over to lead her out the dining hall. I wanted to find Anna immediately now that I knew who the mystery guy was. I needed to make sure she was okay. “Where are we going?” Audrey asked as we took the path leading toward the market. “Training is back that way?” She said as I dragged her behind me. I clenched my eyes together as I remembered I was supposed to return to training today. A simple comment made shortly after I threw up by my mother. I was supposed to take a week off. Though that was when we all thought I had overworked myself. Godric and my mom hadn’t said anything about me not being able to return to my normal daily activities. Which included combat training with Audrey and Chris every day. Then weapons training with Chris twice a week. Godric’s orders were to not tell anyone for at least another month and to act normal. Which meant keeping my lunch down when if possible and keeping an eye on my w

Loyalty or Love Godric POV Alpha Brax spent the last two days keeping the Elders busy. I applauded him for everything he was doing for his pack. I sat in on the first meeting watching him combat the men who dictated most of our rules. He listed all the reasons why we should let his pack expand. And I let him. It was mainly to buy me more time. The more energy they spent listening to him, the less they spent badgering me about my progress with the border investigation. It had only been a few days since they started to check the perimeters. Crane hadn’t checked in yet. “It’s probably too early to hear something back. Even his father wasn’t that quick.” Alex meant it as a joke, but I could tell he was simply trying his best to calm me down. I wasn’t working. Truth is, only one thing could calm me down right now. But I couldn’t ask her for this one thing. Not after I’d already asked her for so much these past few days. “How do you know how long it took for him to complete a job? Its

Steamy Showers Alex POV “What’s this I hear about you, Zaya, and Godric partying in his office the other night? Where was I?” Audrey fumed. I was a genius and an idiot at the same time. Audrey stared at me with her arms folded. She was waiting for an answer and I had none. I hadn’t even thought this far along in my plan. In fact, my plan ended the moment the kitchen lady started to spread the words of our late night drinking. “I…ugh…” Audrey smirked and shoved past me to our ensuite bathroom. She wasted no time turning on the shower to allow the steam to build before she jumped in. Audrey kept her back to me as she shed her clothes. First her shirt lifted over her head, and then she pulled her shorts off. As usual, she was braless. My eyes fell to the thin layer of fabric that wrapped around her ass. I still couldn’t believe the type of panties she preferred. Her entire drawer was full of the tiny lacy things. “Eyes up here buddy.” She said and I instantly remembered that she

Anna POV“You’re a hard person to find.” A deep voice called out to me just as I entered my home. My very private home.I nearly jumped out of my skin when I realized the voice was coming from inside my living room. The box of cupcakes I was carrying almost decorated my clean floor.I lived alone. No one should be here. Especially not him.Trent walked over to me and took the now bent box out of my shaking hands.“What are you doing here?”He joked, “Well, my Alpha decided to come to the Bloodmoon pack to….”I interrupted him. “I mean in my house. What are you doing my house, Trent?”I watched him walk across the room as if this was his place. His tall and lanky presence somehow took up most of the room.While he was busy placing the box on the counter, I was taking him in. Trent looked just as good as he did back then. The hair on his head and chin a deep black. His cheeks were as high as I remembered and shoulders just as broad.My trance was broken with the sound of his voice. “Thi
