A sprig of lavender. Once again Lorrel was clearly a dab hand at sorting out this kitchen after a lycan family bust up. You would never know that Lycan wolves were in here earlier trying to bite one another. She left a plate of food in the oven for me and a note in the fridge for a cold bottle of orange juice. Brennan had told us I needed to increase my iron level and the only way to absorb iron through food was to drink vitamin c enriched drinks or have an orange directly after eating. I was feeling cheeky, so I placed the plate on a tray and took it into the sitting room. I turned on the television and found some reruns of the hospital drama I liked when staying at the Mulder pack all those months ago. Lorrel had plated me up a sausage casserole and apple pie and custard for dessert. She really was amazing. With my tummy and the babies now happy, I decide to finish the current episode I am on. I lay back, letting my tummy rest from all that food. I must have dozed off because

Mind fog.I’m not really sure where I am. I wake up to the sound of beeping and the sound of my heartbeat. Since when did I have two heartbeats? I follow the noises until the realisation hits me, these are the strong heart beats of my babies. As I gain more consciousness, I wish I hadn’t. My body aches. My lungs, my leg and my eyes all burn in their own way. I groan as I open my eyes. “Aida?” Brennan comes close and stands over me. “What happened?” “You don’t remember?” He looks at me with a frown. “Remember what?” My brain was foggy, I couldn’t keep a simple thought or memory at the forefront of my mind. The painful dull ache taking preference over any memory. I slowly sit up, with help from Brennan and see Axel asleep in a hospital chair. I look down to see my tummy is wired up to the machine, Brennan wanting to keep a close watch on the babies. I try to talk but my throat is sore. I swallow which adds a little lubrication. “What happened?” My brain fog still wasn’t clearin

Accusing an Alpha. We had sneaked off towards the training base and hadn’t been caught, as all eyes were on the marquee. I knew that me leaving was irresponsible, but I couldn’t let Lance lose another loved one because of me. We took a royal pack SUV car. Rory came with his parents and I couldn’t deprive them of their returning vehicle, I was already depriving them of their driver. I was going to be in trouble anyway for leaving lycan grounds without permission, leaving the funeral and taking the heirs off site. This was going to buy me a few days of complete silence from Lance but I wasn’t afraid to make the first step in finding the culprits.We stopped off half way so that the Mulder pack warriors could join us for the second part of the journey. I didn’t begrudge the break, I was feeling increasingly nauseous from the journey and could feel Lance’s anger through our connection. He knew that I had left, and he knew who had taken me. Once we made it onto Hansen pack grounds, I c

Turning Eighteen. I had informed Lance of every detail regarding Alpha Hansen’s involvement with the death of Ricardo. How Fern had confirmed the bomb was meant for me and that I was certain Hansen was innocent and had been controlled. Lance had now asked that I leave everything to him from now on, that I stop getting too involved. A difficult request for me to agree to, but I agreed to it all the same. Hansen was still being held for questioning but was being treated well. Lance had entrusted Trey and some warriors to manage the Hansen pack while their alpha was off site. Blake offered to assist Trey but Lance completely refused. I could see how well protected she had been although she thinks she has always been little miss independent. Having left Ricardo’s funeral before attending his wake, I had missed out on meeting Blake’s parents. Apparently her father Giovanni wanted to join in on their collection of me, but Lance had denied him at his command. Lance was conscious of not le

Feeling inadequate. “I think I’m clean enough.” I giggle as Lance continues to clean my lower region. “You can never be too sure…” He says as he places a kiss on my inner thigh before standing up and kissing me on my lips. I was officially obsessed with him, I don’t think I could ever be in a room without him from now on. I couldn’t take my eyes off him, or his even more muscular body. His body that had already become stronger in being an expectant father, but also even more powerful from now being King. I could also feel the twins craving to be near him, for him to protect them. I mean it hurt a little bit…I was trained for skin combat. Wait until they can see me fight. “Your mark is taking shape.” He says catching me checking out his physique. “It is?” I say placing my hand on my neck. I look to his neck to see my mark finally taking shape also. “It’s beautiful, the letter S with a crown on top.” He says describing my identical mark to his. “A crown?” I ask in slight confusi
