His Replica Mate

“Don’t say it like I have no reason to be upset. She was once your mate,” she snarls at me, and I can’t help but laugh. “Yes, she was my mate. I got together with her after you left me, or have you conveniently forgotten that? Then you came back, and I left her for…

The stew is well-spiced. “Yeah, actually, he did. Apparently, he googled me and found out that I lied about the kids’ ages,” I tell her. “So, what did you tell him?” she asks. “I told him that the kids weren’t his and that I lost our child due to the rejection,” I say. “Yeah, that’s…

“We are far away from the pack, so we should be safe,” I tell him, but his eyes aren’t on me; they’re bouncing between the kids. “Mummy, can the boss man come with us?” Liam asks. I look down at him, and I can’t help but smile. He’s a joker, and he always knows how…

She slowly turned around to look at me, and when I saw the fear in her eyes, that made the decision for me. I treated her badly, that’s the truth, and she’s scared of me finding out about the kids. I don’t know why, but she is. Am I angry that she’s kept them away…

“I know,” I say, and then I let out a huge sigh. Lena’s POV The kids are asleep, and Zoey and I are having a glass of wine. Neither of us has said anything. “Alright, you know I was never one for silence. So, can you tell me how you went for a walk with…

“What is it? What did you see?” Emmett asks me again. “Put on the monitors,” I tell him, and he immediately does. I display both samples on the screen. “The first sample is Brie’s, and the second is the one you just brought. Tell me, what do you see?” I ask him. He stares at…

I stare at it and zoom in for minutes on end, hoping to catch or see something. “Put on the monitors,” I tell Emmett. The three monitors come up, and I stare at them, hoping and praying in my mind to catch something or see something, even if it’s just a flicker. But nothing comes…

“What is that?” I ask Leo as I point at the liquid sludge bubbling in a puddle in the middle of the ground. “I have no idea; this is the first time I’ve seen that. No one has been back here since they evacuated after Brie got sick,” he tells me. “Even the doctors you…
