“Are you ready?” Bane asked leaning against my white Mercedes GLK SUV.
I smiled at him reassuringly as I placed a sleeping Hilton in his booster seat. “Funnily enough I am. I knew this was going to happen at some point” Bane smiled and nodded his head at me.
“Don’t worry about anything Rosy if that bastard does even the smallest thing to cause you distress, we’ll kick his sorry ass. Same goes for your supposed family” Bane proclaimed sneering out the word family.
I laughed lightly at him and nodded my head at him. “Alright” I whispered looking up at him I hugged him “You guys mean so much to mean, and I want to thank you all for everything you’ve done for me. You guys are my family not them”
Bane nodded his head “And you’re our family”
“Ready to go?” I asked pulling away from Bane, smoothing sown my dress self-consciously.
“Yeah” Bane and the guys choired back, looking at the cars lined up behind mine I sighed. Since I knew the way to Moon Leaf pack I would be the one to lead them there.
“And don’t worry you look beautiful” Bane reassured me. I smiled at him looking down at my white sundress that had thick straps and a brown leather belt at the waist, I paired it with brown leather knee high boots, feathery earrings, leather bracelet, and sunglasses. I curled my hair, even if I didn’t care I still wanted to look hot.
“Okay good” Sighing I slipped into the front seat and started the car. We were on the road in seconds, all of the cars were following me, but I really didn’t pay attention. All I could think about was I was going back to the place of my torment, with a baby, a new pack, and a new family.
About 2 hours into the drive Hilton woke up.
“Mom?” Hilton called sleepily to me.
“Yes baby?” I answered.
“Are we in California yet?” he asked his voice still rough with sleep.
“Sorry baby no we still have a good 9 hours left” I told him sadly.
“He mom?” Hilton started “Do you think dad will like me?”
I gasped shocked why would Hilton ever question himself? “Of course he will love you Hilton. You two are so much alike you two could be confused as twins! You both like football, the outdoors, and look alike” I confessed to him. I must have shocked Hilton into silence because, I never talk about Hilton.
“Are you sure?” Hilton questioned again.
“I wouldn’t have named you after him if I didn’t think he loved you” I silently affirm.
“Really?”
“Yes. You dads name is Hilton Reyes Carter” I tell him more. And for the a few more hours we talk about his dad, until Hilton falls asleep again. Thankfully Hilton didn’t ask why his father and I were separated.
As we got closer my nerves shot out of the roof. Stop freaking out! Stop freaking out! Stop freaking out! I silently told myself, but then I noticed I was projecting my thoughts to the rest of the pack.
Amelia, I told out everything will be okay. The guys, the pack, and I will look after you. Bane told me through our mind link.
Ya, I believe you, I’m just really nervous about their thoughts of LB especially Hilton. He asked me if his Dad loved him Bane! I said close to sobs but reining them in. I wasn’t the shy, coward, unattractive Amelia anymore. I am a new confident, self-assured me. I couldn’t help but remember one horrible memory after another.
I don’t know how to gage His reaction, but what I know if we will always be there for you and LB. I smiled at those words and sat straighter. Ready or not here I come.
~Hilton~
Life is hell. Excruciatingly agonizing torture.
The problem was her. I couldn’t get her out of my head. No matter what, I knew deep down that she was the only one I’d ever love. I fucking loved her, for fuck’s sake! I felt like a desperate man… who was I kidding? I was a desperate man. There was that one moment that I’d had her back in my arms, and that was heaven. I was the happiest man alive in that one moment. And then, I screwed it up just like I do with everything.
Thankfully everything financially pertaining to the pack was amazing. My only real problem it the Blood thirst brothers thinking of them out in the world causing havoc. And my sweet mate, my only true love, my Amelia was out there where I couldn’t protect her. It is all my fault for here not being in my arms, happy and laughing.
I’m 22 now and I’m miserable and it’s all my fault.
It was my own fault in the first place that I’d decided to reject Amelia and fuck Shelly, but fuck, that was the only way I could let out my pent up frustration. I had to admit, I was guilty of pretending that Shelly was a certain someone during our sexcapades, and I felt guilty afterwards for using her. But she didn’t seem to mind, and I made the excuse that Shelly was better than one night stands. I knew I’d been a complete ass sometimes, but I couldn’t help it; the frustration of my situation just got to me sometimes. I sighed and took off my glasses, rubbing my eyes. Fuck it, I knew I couldn’t work, and I sighed.
I headed towards the window in my office and gazed out the forest covered grounds. I couldn’t believe that I marked someone else other than my love, Amelia. I just had drunk to much alcohol one night and imagined that Amelia was Shelly and marked her, in the morning I realized what I had just done.
To think if I hadn’t made the clueless mistakes I had made, me and Amelia could have been a family.
“The Blood Moon pack should be here in any minute” Aaron, my beta, informed me. Coming into my office at the pack house, I had my own house where I had another office. I was hoping when Amelia came back we could start our new lives there.
“What’ve you got me on them” I ask pitching the bridge of my nose. I’m always stressful these days.
No one, but my loves brother and I knew that Amelia was my mate. And it tore me apart that I haven’t seen, touched, or heard her in five years, 7 days, 17 hours. I missed her rare smiles, her scent, her smile, I missed her. My wolfs been pissed off at me since I rejected her so closely after our mating. It should have been perfect, but I ruined it.
“The alpha has a good hold on his pack, the beta is one of his best friends and the strongest man in there pack other than him” Aaron said “And apparently their third in command is in charge of training un-experience wolves in their pack, and is considered the best at training un-experienced wolves. So it will be good for us if our wolves get even half as strong as their wolves”
“Okay that’s good for us” I said staring out the window “How is she?”
“Good” Aaron said “You know she is one of the Victoria Secret Models. Right?”
“Yes I know” I said through clenched teeth. I remember the first time I heard about her. Some of the male pack members were drooling over a Victoria Secret models when I saw her. Curled up on a bed with white sheets and pink rose petals everywhere in white fuck me heels and a corset and garter.
I stared with lust filled eyes at her petite curvy body when it suddenly hit me, My mates a Victoria Secret model! I couldn’t help but think of all of the males all over the world drooling over the sight of what is mine. I sent the males that were drooling over my mate to double patrol and told every other male in the pack not to ever look at my mate ever again.
And from that moment on I always have an issue of Victoria Secrets in my office and bedroom drawers. I saved every single one.
Ironically enough she was named Cherish, something we never did to her. Even when we found out where she worked we still couldn’t find her.
Aaron nodded his sadly and angrily and left my office, sad at the fact we couldn’t find her and angry at the fact other people were looking at his sister in that way and he couldn’t do anything about it.
As soon as Aaron left Shelly came in and started to seduce me. I didn’t object, it was never great. I would screw Shelly only because it would take my mind off Amelia just for a second before it can rushing back to me, what I had ruined. Every time I would kiss her I would think of how she felt absolutely wrong in my arms. How she never fit into my arms like a puzzle piece, my other half. Amelia was only for me.
“That was amazing Hilton we should go again” She tried to seductively tell me in her nasally voice that made my cock want to run and hide. Thankfully I heard the screeches of cars stopping out front and sighed gratefully.
“The other pack is here Shelly” I told her firmly and emotionlessly. I pulled on a white shirt, leather jacket, and my combat boots on quickly and ran my fingers through my hair. Even if I tried it wouldn’t sit down staying rumpled and looked like I just had a good fuck, so my friends say, taking my glasses off I placed them on my desk. I saw several people come out and stare at the house.
“Welcome” I said warmly at them, I wanted the pack to get along with each other, so maybe they would become our allies. A tall dark brown haired man walked towards me.
“Are you the Alpha?” he asked and I nodded.
“Just call me Hilton” I smiled. I was about to talk to him about the living arrangements when I small voice cried out.
“Mom is that my Dad!?” My head snapped towards the voice my wolf on edge and excited for some reason.
My heart stopped when I saw them.
My mate, with a small boy next to her that looked like my mate.
Amelia!
