At long last!! xoxo
~Epilogue Two~ ~Cadence’s Point of View~ ~One Year Later~ “Andrew! Get that out of your mouth,” I snapped, as I grabbed a giant spicy beef stick from my baby. “Who left this out where he could reach it,” I shouted, to no one in particular. Of course no one paid me any attention. I watched as my little adventurer continued to walk on his wobbly, chubby little legs around the rec room of the packhouse. Various people stopped to coo at him or ruffle his hair. He absolutely had Lenox’s sense of fearless adventure, but Weston’s sweetness. His favorite thing to do was rub people, maybe he had texture issues but I found it endearing. I could lay him next to me at naptime and he’d fall asleep rubbing my arm, those were my favorite moments. Andrew didn’t look a thing like me, he was all Keller … which literally EVERYONE pointed out, EVERY single day. I hoped Emily would fix that seeing as I was the one who did all the baby baking and turned into a human cow. I sighed with awe as I looke
~Cadence’s Point of View~“If you’re serious about getting ahead in life, you’ll do this Cade,” my boss said, staring at me like I was his steak dinner.I gave him my best scowl, if I had a dime for everytime I heard that bullshit line. Just his way of bending me to his will, getting me to do what no one else wants to. He’s wanted me under his aging and saggy body for the three years I’ve worked for him. He doesn’t treat any other female at work like his side chick. But I’m NOT his damn side chick. He must have missed that email. It's a wonder I haven't killed him yet.“Take your interview and shove it up your ass where it belongs! That’s the only action you’re getting. I’m not doing it,” I s
~Cadence’s Point of View~“This can’t be possible. This cannot happen to me. Not right now,” I said, talking to the wall.That was only the two hundredth time I’d repeated that phrase. I’d been up all night, losing my shit. After my utterly humiliating slip of the tongue in front of both Keller brothers it was apparent my actual mission was fucked.They both crowded me and I couldn’t breathe. I ended up storming away, like a pathetic female. I’d never live it down.“Reporter dies of sheer mortification, now here’s a look at the newest panda at the zoo.”I’d have my ten seconds of hell a
~Lenox’s Point of View~How did I know the Goddess would send us a mate that was feisty as hell? Because she had to know what my brother and I would need. Some lame pushover female wouldn’t do. Ohh she needs to be tamed, and I can’t fucking wait to do it! Cadence Mattison, hot as sin and positively a goddess in her own right. I’d never met her, but needless to say guys talk. I knew her reputation as I was sure she knew ours.Last night when she showed up at our party, it was all I could do not to grab her, throw her over my shoulder and go all Alpha male. I absolutely would have done it too if Weston hadn’t interfered like the dick he is sometimes. Even when she stormed off I was completely determined to go after her, let her know who the boss is in this relationship. Who is Alpha.
~Cadence’s Point of View~Seven hours.Seven flipping hours they’ve been in my place and won’t leave. Three hours ago they ordered Chinese and the waft of it was enough to make me ALMOST give in. I texted one of my long time on and off again fuck buddies after that and begged him to bring me some lunch. When he showed up and saw them at the door, he ran off. Now he won’t answer my texts at all. I was certain if I tried someone else it would be the same result.Prisoner in my own damn apartment!“Reporter starves to death due to her own stupid pride, next up Ollie the circus cat.”I was certain every real news story
~Weston’s Point of View~“Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” I said, getting to my feet and putting my arm around my mate.Ohh she was pissed, and it was so hot. Yeah this little scheme of ours was pretty underhanded, and extremely ballsy, but it was perfect. It got her out of her room, we got to meet the parents and she was now super pissed and looked sexy as hell in the process. All in all, mission accomplished.Her mom couldn’t be happier that she’d be settling down and her dad couldn’t wait to tell everyone she was mated to Alphas. They could have really cared less about us being star athletes, apparently human sports aren’t that big a deal in her pack. Lenox and I had time in the car so we’d made this whole presentation
~Cadence’s Point of View~When dinner time rolled around, a dozen people showed up in my parents’ backyard and set up two massive tents with tables. They had brought enough food to feed a hundred people. My dad went around and invited everyone over, and before I knew it the place was full. My parents were now winning the Keller brothers lottery of popularity.Full of congratulations, hugs and … questions. People had a MILLION questions.“Ohh your mates must be so rich to have all this just brought in…”“Ohh your mates are so handsome, are they models…”“Are you pregnant…”
~Cadence’s Point of View~“Mom, dad … this is our mate, Cadence Mattison,” Lenox said, smiling brightly.I took in the pair, I could certainly see the allure as well as the trepidation. They both had an aura about themselves, an air of … better. An air of … arrogance.The mom wasn’t too tall, easily a couple inches shorter than me. Then again the twins were probably only about six feet even. She was pretty but I would hardly call her gorgeous. She had shoulder length curled brown hair and brown eyes, no make-up and no jewelry. Yet her casual sundress and sandals were very high end, certainly designer.My eyes quickly moved to the father, who was the very stere
