SKYLER'S POV
After the doc had looked me over and gave the all-clear, without telling Elijah and Nathan about the pup at my request. I was sent to bed to get rest. I was so exhausted that as soon as my head hit the pillows, I was taken by the darkness of sleep.The next morning I wake with a start, sit up and look around the room. There was no one there, but I knew someone had been in here, as I was no longer in my old top and pants. He still scares me, but I get a hint of chocolate and rain, Cole's intoxicating scent. I sigh and turn to Alice,"Alice, he was here!"
"I know, he gave us the touch we have been craving since that night. I feel much better..."
"But he could have?"
"Yes, he could have, but he didn't. But then, would you have actually stopped him if he had woken you up with a kiss and love?"
I don't answer her as I don't
SKYLER'S POV It's been 6 weeks since the Luna ceremony, Nathan is away on business and I have been busy working with all the women, catching up on all the Luna duties that I missed, after what Cole did, and then being kidnapped back to my old pack. I walk into the office to give Elijah some paperwork on what was needed in the pack nursery. I put the paperwork on his desk and turned around to leave when he got up from his chair and said, "Skyler! Do you have a minute?" "Of course, Eli. What do you need?" Elijah walked up to me and put his hand on my cheek. He smiled and whispered low, "Will you have dinn
SKYLER'S POV The twins, Samuel and Emma, are now 6 months old. We still haven't heard a single thing from Cole, so I'm not sure if he even knows about them yet. Elijah and Nathan have been the best. One of them is still always with me, but they absolutely love playing and spending time with both Samuel and Emma. Nathan is spending time with me at the moment, as he has to leave in the morning for another business trip. A pack is attacking other packs without cause. It's part of our pack's alliance and protection duties to investigate who could be behind the attacks. We have been getting to know each other over the last six months by just hanging out, no dates, no dinners, just two people spending time together. Even though everything is going really good between us, I can tell that they are both getting restless. Their wolves are getting to th
ALPHA DAVID JACKSON'S POV I stand in the kitchen doorway and watch as Skyler makes her way around the kitchen. It's like she had never left, except she now fights back more. I knew she would look like her mother Catherine when she grew up. I just didn't expect her to look that much like her. Even my wolf is having trouble defining her as our daughter, not our mate. He wants me to take her; he wants me to go in there, pick her up, throw her over our shoulder and take her to our room so we can have some fun with her. I was just about to give in when my watch beeps; I sigh, take one more look at her moving so gracefully around the kitchen and then head back to my office. No sooner do I sit down at my desk than my phone rings. I answer it, "Alpha Jackson..." "Hello, Alpha Jackson here!" There didn't seem to be anyone on the line, but it wasn't dead either. I shrug my shoulders and hang up the phone. I lo
NATHAN'S POV I have been away from the pack, Skyler and the twins, for over a month and we still are no closer to finding out which pack is attacking without cause. They hit fast, hard and silently. We can't work out if they are working with rogues or if they put a spy into each pack before they attack and we can't seem to pick which pack they are going to be hitting next. I have been keeping Elijah up to date, but there isn't much I can tell him. I really need to get home Xaiden is getting really restless, and he's making me lose my temper much too quickly. We need to at least mark Skyler soon, so we will be connected to her a little more and it will calm him down just a little. "Nathan, we need to be with our mate!" Xaiden growls and paces more in my head. "I know, but we need to get on top o
COLE'S POV I return to the packhouse 2 weeks after Skyler gave birth to the pup she was carrying. I climb into her window and have the shower I always have before I see her. I stay in the shadows as she enters the room. I watch as she enters the bathroom. She stays in there for a while and then comes out already wearing her night slip. She finishes drying her hair and sits at her vanity. She looks tired as she braids her hair. I catch a glimpse of my mark on her shoulder as she throws the finished braid over her shoulder. It looks beautiful with me in Xander's wolf form, standing protectively over Alice's wolf form. I'm just disappointed in myself because of the way Xander marked her. She didn't mark me in return. I watch as she makes her way over to the bed, slowly climbs in and seems to just collapse onto her pillows. I move out of the shadows, over to the bed, and climb in with her. I smile as she turns over and allows me to wrap my arms around
SKYLER'S POVElijah had to stay in the pack hospital for a month due to his injuries, much to his disagreement. Nathan took care of all the pack work, while I did my Luna work plus visited himevery day with Samuel and Emma. I haven't talked about the pregnancy yet to either Elijah or Nathan, especially since Nathan has been even more protective of me since he came back and Elijah has been in hospital. He has also been a lot quicker to lose his temper and it doesn't matter who it is or what it is over."What's on your mind? Sweetheart" Elijah asks while playing carefully with Emma"Huh?" I look up at himHe laughs "What are you thinking about? You looked like you were miles away and Samuel has been pulling your hair for the last 5 minutes with no response from you!""Oh! I guess I'm a bit worried about Nathan, he is losing his temper with everyone. I had a couple of the young pack members come up to me yesterday and a
NATHAN'S POVXaiden and I are so restless now, I am happy that Skyler is having Elijah's pup, just like I was when she was pregnant with Cole's pups. I love them all and I can wait until she is ready to be with me too, but it is getting harder. Smelling her everywhere is intoxicating. I am snapping at everyone, and for stupid little things and it's starting to affect the pack, but more importantly, it is affecting our family.Elijah was still in the hospital recovering. Skyler was doing her Luna stuff and visiting Elijah when she had time. I had dropped some paperwork into Elijah earlier this morning to help him get rid of some of his boredom. For some reason, he actually likes doing the paperwork. I went back to the office but after losing my patience with having to do more paperwork; I head to the training field, hoping to get rid of some of my built-up irritation. Unfortunately, as soon as I got to the training field, the few warriors that were ther
SKYLER'S POVI woke up the next morning and stretched, to find a heavy arm wrapped around my waist and from the heat and butterflies travelling through me, I knew it was Nathan. He stirred as well, pulling me tighter against him and placing soft kisses down my neck to his mark, making me moan out in pleasure. I moved my hand along his arm until I reached his hand that was resting on my stomach. We could just start to feel the little movements of the pup. I tensed a little and whispered, "Nathan!? Are you upset?""What? Why would I be upset?" his sleepy husky voice whispered back"Well, first I had the twins, and now I'm carrying Eli's pup. We all never really got a chance to sit down and talk about this before everything happened."Nathan bit down on my mark, causing a low moan to escape my lips. He then very quickly turned me over so that he was on top of me."Listen here, Angel. I have never been happier. I love the twins
