Chapter: Epiolgue ~How they all lived happily ever after.~ ~Jake and Maggie.~ A few weeks later the acting Alpha and Luna Jake and Maggie make the trip for Layla to examine Maggie at her facility in New Moon. Layla had thought it best seeing as how her hospital has more of the high-tech instruments she would need to explore the damage in Maggie's uterus. Layla had also drawn samples of Maggie's blood and tissue to take back to her lab. "Ok, ma'am," Layla says to Maggie. "It's into the stirrups for you!" She pats the bed where she wants Maggie to sit. "Take off everything from the waist down." Maggie does and lies back as Layla positions her feet apart. Layla begins the examination using a hysteroscope to see the damage. "There is some scaring but I've seen worse. You may have to have a c-section." Layla says coolly taking off her gloves. "That's it?!" Jake asked with surprise. "Un-hu, I could remove a small piece of her uterus to run more tests, but I would hate to take the chance of upsett

Yhaut supplied and waiting in the harbor, check. My to-do list is complete. If all goes as planned, my Luna and I will soon sail off into the sunset. Bella banned me from our bedroom for making fun of Harper. I couldn't resist the combo of curlers and goop on her face was just too easy. I decided to take a sneak peek at tonight's venue. Cindy and the omegas have done an incredible job transforming the dining room area into a party room fit for a Luna. It was a bit too girly for my taste, but I knew Bella would like it. I smiled at the imagined look on her face, and also because I knew the space wasn't the biggest surprise she had in store for her. Jake joined me, followed by Lee, my father, and William. "You all lost your mates to the call, too, I see," I said with a chuckle. "Can't fight it, son," my father said with a smile. The four of them carry Be

Chapter: ~Chapter-152~Knowing when to walk away.~Annabella We leave George's body and return to our mates. It would seem that faced with the Harris three, George's warriors have decided it's better to be a live coward than a dead hero. Rafe is by Roxy's side as Cat takes off towards Wesly. He still has the metal arrows sticking out of his flesh. Cat licks his face, and he buries his fingers in her fur. Harper is there with our clothes. We shift and dress quickly. I kneel before Wesly, taking his face into my hands and kissing him. He tried to raise his arm to me but dropped it again. "Can't we get them out?" I looked at Hope. "I would advise against that," Baskins said, pushing Daddy towards us. "He's right," Hope said. "We need to keep him still. Layla is on the way." Hot tears are blurring my vision as I lock eyes with Wesly again. I am trying to pour every bit of strength I have into him. I know he is in pain, though he's telling me he is ok. I can feel something different coming from him. I hear the gunning engine co

I wasn't about to make it any better. "What did he say?" She asked me grabbing my hand. There was no sense in sugar coating. "Our mates are in trouble Anna. George has a witch who has taken Wesly powers." I see her calling for him. "Jake said you need to take over as Alpha and declare war against George so Lee can go save them." "I can't do that!" She says shaking her head. "You can't let our mates die either!" I practically shout at her. "I have no intentions of doing so. Nor do I intended to start a war. You said George had a witch?" She asked and I nodded. "We have three. Come on." She says dragging me behind her down the hallway. "Yes, Alpha," I replied. We burst into the room William and Layla are staying. "What's wrong?" He asks, we are that obvious. "William, Wesly needs you. Can you call for Hope and Harper?" He

Thankfully he doesn't run the border patrols we do. 'I just pulled into the pack,' Wesly tells me. I can hear voices around him, at least four different ones, as he opens the car door. One of them tells Wesly they are going to meet George in the office. Rafe moves us stealthily through the dense growth until the backside of what he says is George's pack hospital comes into view, we lay low as we see Baskins and Aurthor exit the building. 'I have eyes on the doctor.' I tell Wesly. 'You will have them on me in a couple of minutes, we are heading that way.' He replies. Kota tells Rafe he thinks the warriors are surrounding our Alphas beyond being their escorts. Rafe doesn't like it, that's good enough for me. He gets low and belly crawls inching forward until we get to nearly exposed. I see wesly clenche his fists at his sides and I know what's

Chapter: ~Chapter-149~All in.~Wesly Early Friday morning our mates walk us to the garage. Both have tears in their eyes. I am having second thoughts about not being honest with my parents. Alpha Wyatt would not have let me leave without him, though, and I know it. Not that I don't think he could handle himself, he and his wolf, Jaxs, have always been a powerful force. The idea of him not returning to my mother because of me was a thought I couldn't tolerate. I take Bella's face into my hands and kiss her softly. "All will be worth it," I tell her, hoping I am right. We leave them arm in arm as they watch after us. " You can still change your mind, Jake," I tell him with my hands locked on the steering wheel and my eyes locked on the windshield. "Drive Alpha." He replies with a deep breath. The next half an hour is silent. I suppose there isn't much left to say. I can see his eyes going black every once in a while. Bella has been poking in on me, too. According to the GPS, we are about five miles out

If she goes into labor, she will have a great doctor. I crossed the room to where they were. "Uncle Brody, Aunt Dina." I said with a smile, kissing her cheek. "I am glad to see you made it." "We wouldn't miss it." Brody said. "Your father's been telling me about your latest adventure. I am glad to see you made it." He gave my shoulder a squeeze. When the music changes again, I know it is time to begin. I usher Uncle Brody and Aunt Dina to their seats. Then, I turn and make my way to the stage. My mother enters first, and my father goes to escort her. He leads her back, and they take their place alongside me. Then Jack escorts Pearl. Archie does the same with Isabella. I am not supposed to leave the stage. My grandpa Leith has already gotten up from his seat to escort Layla to me. When I see her enter the room, my feet begin to move me forward

Chapter: ~Chapter-Nintey-Three~William After the party had ended, Layla and I took Luke and Mekia out for a while. I knew my time with her was about to get even more sparse. The first few weeks of the transition of power would be busy for me. There would be a lot of things that I would have to focus on other than my mate. But tonight, what was left of it was ours. I'd known going in. There would be countless meetings with my father and our investors. I had seen to it that he would keep an active role in Harris Enterprises. Still, I would be the decision maker. No more 'Alpha Wyatt will handle that'. It wouldn't be forever, though. Things would soon get back to normal or at least my new normal. We stopped to take a breath at what my father had always called his thinking spot. I settled Layla down beside me on the cliff overlooking the valley. It was quiet and peaceful. She seemed to be deep in thought as she stared out into the night sky. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "Penny, for your thoughts." I s

I am a little disappointed that Dylan is not here. He told me he'd had a pre-arranged date for this evening. So he wouldn't be able to make it. It was a good thing that he had a date. I wish him only the best. I haven't said anything to him because I know Dylan would never act on the feelings. But Luke has been telling me how his Wolf Dex comes to attention a little too much for his liking. Whenever Layla is around, Luke also tells me. He has warned Dex to back off more than once. It is a good thing. I no longer have my mind reading abilities. Or else I would know exactly what they were thinking about my mate. And we would probably have a problem. I love Dylan like a brother, but still, he would not take Layla from me unless I was dead and he knows it. That's probably why he's been avoiding me. My father is in his place at the head of

After my wolf decided to tell me that William's Wolf Luke had noticed his interest in Layla and told him to back off and he still hadn't. I really didn't have a choice. There was no way I could face both of them. I had indeed gone to the bar. I had picked up a woman and checked into a cheap motel under a false name. I had fucked her right and left her there still quivering in the bed. There was nothing pre-arranged about it. Now, I am headed back to my pack. My tail tucked between my legs, so to speak. As I pulled into the driveway at the front of the packhouse. I can hear the party I was invited to is in full swing. I curse under my breath as I strode around the side of the house instead of going through inside. I am on my way to take Dex out and run his ass into submission. At least I intended to run his ass into exhaustion. As we pass by the ballroom, I see William down on one knee. I know he is

He says it gives him more time to spend with his mate and his family. I hope that Wesly and I can come to the same accumulable understanding.

He is healing better than I expected. "How is your wolf?" I asked him, looking at the stitches in his chest. "Getting stronger every day." He assured me. "When can I go home?" He asked. I gave him a stern look. "Not for a couple more days. I want to make sure your wolf can keep up with the healing process before I release you."

Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~
Harley Gibson is a strictly by-the-book homicide detective with an impressive conviction rate. She is also living a dangerous double life. In the human world, she is respected for her skill at always getting her perp. However, in her native werewolf world, she is on the run, being hunted by the Lycan king, who also happens to be her sperm donor. To Lycan Ian Steel, his only daughter is only a means to an end. Harley doesn't know, but she was destined from birth to become one of the highly sought guardians of Sauther Lake. Ian always had. He killed his mate, Harley's mother, to keep her from taking their daughter back to the lake, where she would be protected from him turning her into his assassin. With divine intervention, Harley escaped Ian's pack. For a while, she stayed under her father's radar by changing her last name and never staying in one place for too long. She became too comfortable in LA after being promoted to homicide detective at the prestigious Santa Monica Police Department. After years of searching for his wayward daughter, Ian finally finds her and pulls out his big gun. Bounty hunter Nicholas Reins is to bring her back. Ian uses his mafia ties to get Nick into the police department under the ruse that he is an FBI agent sent to help Harley solve a high-profile murder case, making national news. Only Ian doesn't know that he also has ties to the syndicate committing the string of murders his daughter is investigating. Nick may be a ruthless huntsman, but the Lycan Princess will soon show him she isn't his usual bounty. Together, they will uncover the truth about her past, their future, solve the 'Anacapa Island' murders, and take down two of the mafia's bosses.

Chapter: Chapter~109~Down with the sickness.Harley~ Nick and Titus square off, two proud Alphas, neither to blink. As if it were part of the script, a nurse in crisp blue scrubs appeared in the doorway. Her voice cut through the tension as she told me it's my turn in the stirrups. The breath I'd been holding in a tight knot finally broke free, escaping my lips in a shaky exhale. Without a word, Nick's hand comes with a warm, firm weight on the small of my back, pivoting me away. We were almost out, but no, it wouldn't be that easy today. "This isn't over, Nick," Titus growled, the sound vibrating deep in his chest like a brewing storm. Ok, that's enough! His voice is making me itch and causing my heels to dig into the linoleum. "Alpha Titus, may I have a word?" Nick's fingers tightened around my hand, his pulse jumping against my skin. 'It's ok, Nick,' I leaned back against him, and he reluctantly let go. In the hallway's quiet, it's my turn to stand, the only ground I have. After tossing my dark locks over my s

The air in Sean's hospital room was thick with her overpowering perfume, which made me nauseous. She was hovering over Sean, checking the various tubes and monitors. Her performance felt more practiced than genuine; Nick and I exchanged a glance a moment before she looked up. Seeing us, she froze, her breath hitching as she took a jagged, silent breath. Her pull back from Sean was a sudden, unnatural distancing from a mate. She's overdoing it trying to hide………my gaze goes to her hand as my brain slipped into chaos. She didn't have the ornate, silver-hinged ring on her right middle finger this morning. Pressure builds in my chest as Rae comes through the pieces still shifting in my head. 'Harley, something is deeply wrong here.' 'Red alert, Rae,' I murmured back. Ruby goes to her son's side, her fingers threading through Sean's limp, pale hand. She cast a sharp look toward Delilah; it was quick,

Chapter: Chapter~107~Home at last.Nick~ Harley's gaze darts across the windshield, tracing the sharp architecture of Moon Hill Manor. It loomed ahead, a fortress of grey stone that seemed to consume the morning light. Memories hit hard; days gone by of Sean and me running through those halls, clueless. My throat tightens, and I try to swallow the forming boulder. "Nick, it's incredible," she says, placing a hand over her heart, her voice barely a breath. "That's one way to put it," I say, opening the driver's door to a crisp bite of mountain air. "I'm glad you like it." Before I'm fully out, Eason, my father's personal butler, is already exiting the manor. His polished dress shoes echoed on the stone steps in his haste. "Morning, Alpha," Eason says, voice immaculate as he takes hold of the door. "Your parents are waiting in the breakfast room." Harley waits, her eyes wide as she stares at Eason as I move to the passenger side. Opening the door, I offered her my arm and pulled her close to me. She leans

Chapter: Chapter~106~Company's coming.Harley~ The 4:00 AM silence was shattered when the first heavy blow struck the front door. Beside me, the mattress groaned, and so did Nick as he pulled away from me. He was on his feet instantly, charged, taking his heat with him and leaving the sheets cold. He pressed a dry, hurried kiss to my brow and muttered a low "Stay" that vibrated against my skin. Then he was gone, the rhythmic thud-thud of his bare heels retreating down the hallway. My brain was still thick with sleep until Rae's mental voice spiked, sharp in my ears. 'Harley, it's a woman. She's carrying a scent like scorched sugar, and it's aimed right at our mate.' The covers can't bind me, and my soles burned against the bedroom rug as I scrambled for traction. I nearly lost my balance before hitting the hardwood. In the living room, the air felt claustrophobic. A woman was there, her movements fluid and desperate as she tried to weld herself to Nick's chest. He didn't waver, his hands like stone pillars across

Chapter: Chapter~105~Welcome home.Harley~ Cedar planks, rough as bark, cut a jagged silhouette against a mountain bruised with the coming twilight's purple. My gaze darts constantly between windows, fighting to catch the panoramic view from every angle. It's both eerie and fascinating the way the mist coils around the thick trunks of the pines surrounding the cabin. When Nick pulls the passenger door open, the air hits my nose. Wonderful, sharp, yet thin, a breeze flows by, carrying with it just a hint of damp earth and crushed needles. Smog-free and a welcome breath, I try to inhale it all at once. Nick catches my hand; his palm is rough and familiar as he guides me from the car. After the second step, my attention immediately snagged on the wicker swing swaying back and forth. I'm seeing lazy mornings spent watching the sunrise from the oversized double-seater. Nick reaches above the door frame, his fingers dancing along the dusty ledge until they find the key.

She steps into the hum of the squad room beside Seth, just as Ben rounds the corner. Leonard's features sagged, his eyes resembling hollowed-out shells. In contrast, Ian's entire frame vibrated with a heat that drained the blood from his face. He thrashes against my hold, but his muscles betray him. "He's a fraud!" he howled, the sharp sound cutting through the air. "That's no federal agent; what you see before you is a beast! A werewolf!" Howard's voice boomed over the sudden silence to the officers. "Take these lunatics the hell outta here!" He scoffed, a dry, rattling sound. "Werewolves. Beautiful." He slammed a heavy palm against my shoulder blade; the force of it jolted my teeth. "Nice work, Agent." From my peripheral vision, I catch the frantic movement in Ben's eyes. Replaced by a sharp, predatory stillness. He doesn't just look at me; his gaze drags over my face. His eyes narrowed

I asked, excited. "I think so. My water just broke!" Hope said grimacing in pain. Frantically, I get out of bed, trying to remember all the things I was supposed to remember. My mind was a blank! 'We need to get her to the hospital.' Jaxs helpfully pointed out. 'Right! Hospital.' I say to him. "I need to change my gown." Hope was saying. "I am soaking wet." I went over to her dresser and got out a clean gown. I came back to the side of the bed and helped her take the wet one off and slide the clean one over her head. Then I scooped her up and headed to the hospital. Linking to doc Edwards that we were on the way. "Push, Hope! Oh baby, you are doi

Jack and Pearl were standing to my right, and Archie and Isabella were to my left. The music I had chosen began to softly play, and my heart skipped a beat. This was it.

Isabella was telling us that she had just found out she was pregnant. I was happy for her, but I was not envious of the 1st trimester's sickness that was plaguing her at the moment. I told her not to bother with the seltzer water and crackers because they don't work. I was thankful when they were done looking at the mirror in myself. I had to admit. I was quite stunning. Pearl had put my hair in a 1/2 down half up updo and put little rhinestones along the sides. I still insisted on very light makeup. Who wants to take all that stuff off at the end of the night?
