Maddie rushed in now, brows creased in worry. "Are you alright? What's happening?"His lips wobbled as he tried to get the words out. "It's him...oh God, he found me!""I don't understand. Who found you?" "Daniel. The Alpha I knotted with!"Her mouth flew open. "Shit.""Oh God, oh God," Sawyer was pacing the kitchen floors now, trying to keep it all together. There was an urgent knock on the door now. Maddie turned and craned her head to look. "What am I going to do? How did he find me here? How does he know I'm back home from the ban? What the freaking hell does he want from me?!"Maddie plopped down quietly on a chair. "First, you need to calm down, honey. It's not the end of the world...we'll figure out something."The knock stopped now, plunging the entire building into silence. They peeked at the door and looked back at each other."Do you think he's gone?" Maddie shrugged, standing up and tiptoeing towards the front room. Everything was just as it was. "I think he's gone."Sawy

"We're home, baby," Daniel announced as he pulled into the penthouse's driveway. He tapped the omega who was fast asleep lightly on his cheek. "Come on, now, hun. Let's get you to bed."Sawyer yawned and stretched his arms, his joint aching. He peered up at the familiar white, towering mansion in front of him as Daniel got out, over to the other side to open the door for him. He stepped out happily with his totes bag, slinging it over his left shoulder. Daniel wrapped an arm around his waist possessively, kissing his neck lightly as they walked into the spacious lobby. "I've called the pack doctor to come to check you up. But that would be later when you've fully rested, dear."Sawyer was about to protest by Daniel quickly shut him up with a kiss. When the Alpha pulled back, Sawyer chased after his lips, but Daniel placed a palm on his chest to stop him. "Easy now, buddy. You've got to understand that as my mate, you and my unborn pup's health and needs are my top priorities. I wouldn

Sawyer closed his eyes, holding tightly onto Daniel, and felt three again. This time he was back in the little cramped Packhouse, the elders seated around him. His mother held onto his hand, pleading for a fairer punishment to be given to him, as he was the youngest in the Pack then. He couldn't remember what offense he committed, but he could relate the feeling of nervousness he'd felt back then to his current state. His heart was pounding, a million possibilities running through his mind – all negative. What if the elders didn't accept him or the baby? What if they accused him of being a bloodsucker after Daniel's money? What if they didn't think he was good enough to be Daniel's mate? The what-ifs didn't seem to be ending soon.Deep breaths, Sawyer. You can do this.Sawyer was aware of the level of influence the elders of a Pack held. As a combined force, they could overrule the decisions of Alphas and Betas. Their verdict, when passed was final and couldn't be twisted. He'd feared

Sawyer didn't get to see Daniel for the next two days. The elders had begun talks with Anita's family, and Daniel was needed at their meetings . He was also in charge of overseeing the moonlight consummation. It was hurting to see these preparations being set in place for someone else. And he tried to reassure himself that it was only a matter of time before the Pack elders regretted their decision of making him Luna Consort.He was busy as well with the mails and constant calls of the general public. Somehow, word had got out that he was carrying Alpha Daniel's babies and so many people came from all over, both humans and members of other werewolves' packs in Manhattan to congratulate him for winning the insufferable Alpha's heart. Sawyer could see the envy written on their faces as they trooped into his room, and he felt lucky. Maddie and Sophie helped serve them root beer floats and chocolate cookies. There were also hard candies as well, and Sawyer was thankful to everyone that cam

Sawyer couldn't feel his legs. It had gone numb from his waist downward, and his head was heavy; as though it was stuffed full with lead. He couldn't move it without a splitting headache rocking his skull. His joints ached and his stomach felt weird. His anal hole wasn't even hurting.What. The...He ran a hand down his body slowly to a surprise on his stomach. His baby bump was gone!That fueled his static energy and he jerked upright in a panic. Had he lost the babies? Where were they?There was a slight tug at his left arm and he frowned, glaring up at the connected drip bag. His eyes were unfocused as he stared at Daniel's turned back. The Alpha leaned forward, singing into the crib in front of him. The atmosphere was set ablaze by tiny, shrill cries that made Sawyer's head burn. They sounded cute...and dreadful.As though Daniel could feel that he was awake, he turned, eyes widening in momentary panic. "You're awake, oh my goodness." He rushed forward, placing a steadying grip on
