Stronger by Ang Chris

Chapter 137

Annette POV:

I couldn’t sleep at all the night before my mind raced with the idea of being reunited with Seraphine. Of having the no comfort of her being back, by my side our hands conjoined forever again.

We had waited until the full moon when our connection would be at its peak. My memories flooded in from the last time I was in the moon pool. I had laid in it before my wedding, and my husband ever impatient had watched me the whole night staring at me hungry.

This time I wouldn’t be alone everyone would be watching they would wait with bated breath for me to return to normal. What would happen if I did not like other wolves, my blood was pure alpha blood. Things have been put in place to protect those around me.

I didn’t want Christian to watch this if this was successful, it would be a pretty sight. I turned

over at my husband’s restful face. What would he think when he saw me like that?

Grayson was only one generation of pure alpha blood. He was strong that much was true, but

there was a hunger, a drive inside me and my siblings. There was a third beast that we all

caged up, that we kept hidden beneath the floorboards of our minds.

It had been the easiest for me, but now I had to come face–to–face and hope I came out on top. For my sake, I had to. He had already been without me long enough.

I watched Grayson breathe in and out softly for hours. Then his eyes flitted open as the

sunset, turned to look at me, not a word spoken between us. I’m sure Enzo prowled inside of

him. I felt so horrible for him to be without his mate for so long to not know what had happened to her.

We got dressed in silence. Once again I only wore a small, thin, nightgown. Charlotte came in

to watch our son as he slept. He was blind to the turmoil outside of his world of dreams. I

wanted it that way to let him sleep hopefully when he woke up all would be right in the

world.
