Whatever it takes

Chapter 16

ALEXA'S POV 

The next morning I was woken by lips trailing up my shoulder and neck, I hummed sleepily and moved further back into him. “I’m sorry baby, I’d love nothing more than to let you sleep but it’s already after ten, Aaron and Callie will be here soon,” he mumbled against my skin. Remembering where we were I quickly flipped over startling him in the process, “did they know about this?” He chuckled and slid his hand onto my cheek, “no, just your mom and my dad.” Smiling widely I leaned in towards him, “I love you,” I murmured and kissed him. 

His hand snaked around my waist and pulled me on top of him as he slid his tongue into my mouth, “love you too gorgeous,” he mumbled and slid his hands up my legs. "Before you get any ideas, they’ll be here soon,” I mumbled back. I squealed as he shot up quickly and flipped us, “we can be quick,” he replied, “I want you, I need you so bad,” he groaned and slid into me. “f**k Alex,” he groaned as he started off. I moaned back as he sped up and dropped his head into my neck. 

“Aww baby!” he yelled out a few minutes later and slammed his lips to mine as he came. I gasped into his mouth and dug my nails into his shoulders as I followed....that was really something. Panting he pecked me a few times and rolled off of me, “wow, babe that was incredible,” he puffed out. “It sure was,” I giggled and rolled out of the bed, “now get your butt up.” I stopped halfway to the bathroom and looked at my dress on the floor along with his suit, “um, babe,” I said and looked back to him, “we’ve no clothes.” He smiled and pointed to a set of drawers, “top drawer, I grabbed some stuff you wouldn’t miss.” 

“You think of everything,” I replied and walked to the drawers. Pulling it open I raised an eyebrow and reached in, pulling back with one of my skimpy thongs I turned to face him and held it up. “What? You look sexy as hell in that,” he replied with a smirk. “I wonder will Aaron think I’m sexy as hell in it too,” I replied and threw it at him, “guess it’s no underwear today,” I added and walked into the bathroom. I laughed as his growl followed me before I heard his feet hit the floor, “that underwear is just for me, if I catch Aaron looking at you I won’t hold back,” he muttered. “Parker,” I giggled, "would you listen to yourself.” 

I giggled louder as his arms wrapped around me, “you’re mine babe, only mine,” he murmured and turned my chin so he could kiss me. I melted into him right away and turned in his arms, just as he backed me towards the shower the front buzzer went. He groaned and pulled back, “I’ll go let them in.” 

PARKER'S POV 

After breakfast and a tour of our new house Aaron and I left the girls and headed off to the centre where he'd seen Steven and Dionne. The ride was in silence and I figured Aaron was feeling guilty for not telling me sooner, I had to break the ice. “Look, I get it man, you didn’t know what to do, you thought you were doing the right thing. I’m not mad at you okay, so whatever you’re feeling stop it, we’re cool.” 

He sighed and scrubbed his hands over his face, “I’m sorry man, I’m completely out of it. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it, seeing her last night I just wanted to punch her.” “I get it,” I chuckled as we pulled into the parking lot, “but you know Dionne as well as I do, she’s up to something. God only knows how she convinced Steven to do anything, but I do know if she’s using him it has something to do with Alex.” 

He climbed out and walked around the car, “what a sick twisted b***h, he must be twenty years older than her. She must have drugged him or something, there’s no way he'd do that willingly.” “No, definitely not.....show me where you saw them,” I replied. He pointed to the end of the lot, “they were there for a minute then they went around the back of the dry cleaners. When I stuck my head around the corner they were over at the wall behind the party shop.” “Alright, let’s go see what cameras there are around the back,” I replied and walked down the lot. 

Ten minutes later we were in the back office of the drycleaners, luckily for me the guy that owns it is good friends with my uncle Jake. My eyes stared at the screen as Dionne grabbed Steven’s shirt and walked back towards the wall before he leaned in and kissed her. As soon as he lifted her off the ground I had to look away, my heart was sinking for Alex. 

There were no signs she did something to him, it looked like he did it willingly, how could he do that to Zara? To his family? His daughter was the same age as her for crying out loud! I was sick to my stomach, I really couldn’t believe this. “What if it was magic or something?” Aaron asked, “you said Zara and Steven were all over one another at yours yesterday, I saw them too they didn’t look like they were acting.” 

I frowned and looked over at him, “magic? How would she manage that? We don’t have any witches in our pack or nearby.” Then something dawned on making my face pale. “What is it?” he asked. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, “Dionne’s dad was a hybrid, half wolf half witch......what if she is too?” Aaron sighed too, “maybe she’s only learning to use her powers now.” “We gotta see Steven,” I replied and hurried outside. 

SHAYNE'S POV 

I lay in my bed just staring at this raging beauty fast asleep beside me. Last night when she came home upset and told me she loved me, I thought that was it, that she had finally felt it. I was so happy and the s*x had been the best time yet. 

I know she was my girlfriend’s daughter and Sarah had been fun when we first met, but it wasn’t until I got to know her better that I realised how bad her drinking was. The second I laid eyes on Dionne I knew, I knew she was the one chosen for me, she was my mate. She had to take care of herself and I hadn’t it in me to leave her, she was only fourteen when we met so I couldn’t do anything about the mate bond, but I knew, I felt it. 

Before you all jump in and start calling me sick or a p*****t or anything, I’m only twenty five. I was twenty one when I met Sarah and she was thirty, she was only sixteen having Dionne and luckily the father turned out to be her mate. The second Dionne turned eighteen I prayed the bond would take effect, but it never did and I always wondered why. I know she felt something for me, I would catch her staring at me a lot or she would sit beside me at dinner or any chance she got. 

I was ashamed to admit I forced myself on her a few times, I know it was wrong and I should be punished for it. I was just so desperate for her to feel the bond that I overstepped the mark. I never ever touched her until she was eighteen hoping and praying she would feel it. 

The first time she started to enjoy it my heart skipped a beat. The first time I kissed her was absolute heaven, then she came back for more and more and my heart was ready to explode. I was pulled from my thoughts as she stretched out and opened her eyes, “good morning gorgeous,” I smiled. She smiled back sleepily, “morning,” he croaked back. 

I was so hard thinking about f*****g her on the counter that I needed her now, so bad. I rolled on top of her and settled myself on her thanking the moon Goddess we were both naked. “Aww baby,” I groaned as I slid into her p***y that was already dripping for me. 

“Shayne,” she moaned back and widened her legs for me. I gripped her hips and thrust in hard I knew she liked that, “you are so f*****g sexy, I could f**k you forever,” I growled out as my thrusts went harder and deeper. “f**k me! f**k me harder babe! Aww f**k I love you!” she cried out as I banged her to the mattress. “I love you too baby, so much,” I groaned back and kissed her deeply. 

DIONNE'S POV

After the best s*x of my life we lay in his bed wrapped up in one another, I was so comfortable, it felt so right being in his arms. Every time he touched me it sent shockwaves all over my body, every time he kissed me a hot fire would rise in my stomach, every time he touched me my heart beat faster and my skin tingled. 

“Babe?” he called getting my attention. “Yes handsome?” I replied and titled my head up. “Come away with me for a weekend after graduation tomorrow?” he asked. My stomach did an excited flip and a wide smile overtook my face, “yes, where?” I asked excitedly. He chuckled and lowered his head, “surprise,” he murmured and kissed me. 

“Aww you can’t do that to me,” I huffed, “how will I know what to pack?” He chuckled again and pulled me on top of him, “all you need is two sexy dresses for dates, comfortable clothes for the journey and a few pairs of those sexy strings you like to tease me with,” he said as his hands ran down to cup my ass. “Ooh, sounds exciting,” I giggled and rocked against him to get his hard on even harder . 

“Baby,” he groaned as I did it again and pushed my ass further into him. For some reason I wanted to take it slow, lowering my head I kissed him slowly and ran my hands up his chest before pulling away from his lips and trailing kisses along his jaw and onto his neck. “Aww Dionne, that feels so good baby,” he moaned out as I nipped and sucked on his marking spot. 

I don’t know why I was so drawn to it today but I just wanted to sink my teeth into it. “Dionne!” he hissed and grabbed the back of my head as my canines nicked him. Smirking I pulled away and slid down his body kissing every inch and teasing his n*****s as I went. “Aww f**k baby!” he yelled out as soon as my lips wrapped around his hard d**k. I moaned in pleasure as he hit the back of my throat, pulling back to the tip I swirled my tongue around it before plunging my head back down. “Yes baby! Yes Yes Yes!” he yelled as I moved faster. 

The hot knot was in my stomach again, I wanted him, I needed him right now. Pulling my lips away I straddled him quickly and sunk down onto him, “mmh, Shayne,” I moaned out in pleasure. “Aww yes!” I cried out as he grabbed my hips and latched onto my boob while his free hand caressed the other. He sat up and pulled me closer, “you are so f*****g perfect Dionne, don’t ever change babe,” he murmured and kissed me slowly as I started to ride him a little faster. 

He really does love me, he really does care about me......finally! Someone that wants me for me. 

ALEXA'S POV 

I sat in the house alone waiting on Parker to come back. He'd been gone since breakfast and the i***t forgot his phone. Callie had left after lunch to get her dress sorted for graduation tomorrow, she had offered me to come but I thought it was better to wait for Parker since he had no phone. 

That was four hours ago, it was after six now. I didn’t even know where I was to make my own way home because he had made me close my eyes last night. The longer I sat there the more annoyed and angry I got, huffing I stood up and started to wander the house imagining what touches I could add when we moved in. 

Stopping outside a room right across from the room we had chosen to be ours I leaned against the door and looked into the empty room. This room would be perfect for the baby, it was close to ours, it had plenty of space for a cot and whatever else we needed. It had a walk in closet too, everything would fit nicely. 

I looked behind me as the front door opened and someone rushed in “Alex!” Parker yelled as he ran around downstairs. I decided to punish him and let him look for me. When I heard his rushed steps on the stairs I set a scowl on my face and crossed my arms over my chest, he was in big trouble. 

"Alex!” he yelled when he got to the top, spotting me he started to run towards me, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry baby, I thought Callie was dropping you home. I just got there and you weren’t there, I’m so sorry,” he panted as he stopped in front of me. 

“Callie left about four hours ago, I thought you were coming back here because you left your phone. I’ve been sitting here like an i***t all day!” I yelled and pushed by him. “I said I was sorry babe,” he said as he followed me down the stairs. “I honestly thought you would have gone with Callie.” 

“Well you thought wrong! You left me here alone for most of the day with no way home because I’ve no idea where I am Parker!” I screeched. He sighed deeply and pinched the bridge of his nose, “give me a break Alex, I’ve had a rough day. I said I was sorry, it was a simple mistake, it’s not like you were stuck here, you could have called Callie to come back for you.” 

Did he just say that to me? Did he really say that? “are you kidding me?” I yelled. “Called her to come back? You should have come back for me! You said you'd be an hour!” “I’m not doing this with you Alex, I don’t know what more you want me to say, let’s go home,” he replied. 

Anger shot through me like a firework, I pulled my ring off and flung it at him, “f**k you Parker!” I screeched and stormed out the front door. “Faye, will the baby be okay if I shift?” “Yes, home is ten minutes north, take it easy though,” she replied. “Alex!” Parker yelled after me “Alex wait......Alex no!” he yelled as I shifted and took off. 

PARKER'S POV 

I was furious! I’d never been so angry in all my life! How could she risk our baby like that? Screeching to a stop I jumped out and stormed inside. Making my way into our room I let the door bounce off the wall and stormed inside. I froze as I spotted a bag on the bed, walking to it I pulled it open and sighed as a few of her clothes were inside. 

Growling I smacked it to the floor, looking towards the bathroom I saw the door was closed. Trying the handle I growled again as it was locked. "Alex! Open the damn door!” I yelled in. “f**k you Parker she screeched back. “Open the f*****g door now!” I yelled and banged it with my fists, “ or I’ll kick it down! You’re not going anywhere! I'll lock you in here if I have to!” 

"Dude you need to calm the f**k down, mate is carrying our baby don’t forget. It’s a stupid fight, let it go" Theo said in my head. I took a deep breath and took a step back, “will you open the door babe, I’m sorry for yelling like that.” 

After a minute the door opened slowly and Alex appeared with tears tracking down her face, “did you just threaten me?” she whimpered. “Is this what you’re lowering yourself to? To being the old Parker that I hate? What’s gotten into you?” Guilt hit me like a ton of bricks and my heart shattered at the look on her face. I scrubbed my hands over my face and walked to her, “no baby, I’m not that guy anymore, I’m so sorry,” I sighed and pulled her into my arms. 

“When you shifted I was worried about the baby and lost my s**t, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I love you so much I’m sorry about the whole day.” She sighed deeply and rested her face on my chest, “I asked Faye first, she said it was okay just to get home. I’m sorry too, I kinda overreacted I could have called Callie to pick me up and I also could have called Aaron to speak to you.”

I dropped a kiss on her head and pulled her back to look at her, “can we forget this and have an early night? We’ve a big day tomorrow.” She smiled and stood up on her toes, “only if it’s an ice cream and movie night.” I chuckled and kissed her, "you get ready for bed I’ll go get the snacks...I love you,” I replied and kissed her again. “Love you too babe,” she smiled and pulled away from me.

"Wait!" I called and reached into my pocket, "put this back where it belongs," I said and tossed her back her ring. She smiled sheepishly and slid it back onto her finger, "I only took it of because I knew I was gonna shift and didn't want to break it.

I cannot wait for this weekend away, we all need it badly. 

ALEXA'S POV 

"Parker Adams!” principal Winters called and I jumped to my feet clapping like a crazy person beaming with pride as my man walked across the stage and accepted his diploma. He searched for me in the crowd and blew me a kiss before a huge grin crossed his face and he shook hands with the school heads. 

“Callie Anderson!” he called next and I stood just as happy and proud as my best friend crossed the stage and collected her diploma. The names went on and I also stood for Lewis and Dean too, I felt kinda bad that we had drifted apart so quick, but I had planned on making it up to them this weekend. 

 “Aaron Keely!” Principal Winters called a while later and I stood and clapped for my best friends mate. “Alexa Keane!” he called another few minutes later and I made my way up onto the stage. “Yeah! Go baby! I love you! That right there everyone is my perfect girl! Your future Luna!” Parker yelled all over the place. 

 My face flushed in embarrassment as everyone laughed cheered and clapped, I was going to kill him after this. I looked at him and smiled at the proud look on his face, he winked at me and started to holler again. I accepted my diploma and shook hands with everyone before exiting the stage. 

I squealed as Parker practically dived on me and kissed me hard, “I’m so proud of you babe,” he said and kissed me again. “I’m so proud of you too Parker, but I’ve to go back to my own seat now, it’s not over yet,” I giggled. He groaned and kissed me deeply, “love you babe,” he smiled and went back to his seat. 

After everyone had collected their diplomas and speeches were given we all stood as the final announcements were given. “We have one more achievement award to give out!” Principal Winters called hushing everyone. “This student has had a difficult few months but non the less they have carried on and came out with flying colours. They have gained the top marks in all exams this year, their progress has been exceptional so I would like to pass on the greatest achievement award to....Miss Alexa Keane!” he yelled and started to clap. 

I gasped and rooted myself to the spot, I was in shock...did he just say my name, “Alexa! Go!” Aaron chuckled from a few seats down. My shock wore off and I made my way to the stage again, Parker couldn’t contain himself as he yelled and cheered and practically jumped up and down on the spot. I accepted my award and stood for pictures before making my way down the steps again. 

This time Parker grabbed me and pulled me onto my lap, “you’re staying right here, damn baby I’m so so proud of you I could burst,” he rambled and slammed his lips to mine. 

And finally “congratulations class of twenty-one!” we were finally high school graduates! 

PARKER'S POV 

After getting about a million photos taken by the school photographer, my parents, Alexa’s parents and Callie and Aaron’s parents the four of us were finally alone. “Hey Arron,” I said and reached into my pocket, “can you take a picture of me and Alex? One I couldn’t do in front of anyone.” “Okay,” he said slowly and took it from me. 

I chuckled and stepped up behind Alex, bringing my hands to her stomach I made a love heart with them, “put your hands over mine babe,” I instructed. She cupped my hands mirroring my own and leaned back into me, “this is gonna be an amazing picture.” I smiled and pulled her closer, “it sure is babe.” 

“Okay, so what’s the plan now?” Callie asked excitedly after we took a few more of our own photo....including one of Callie kissing Alex's stomach. “We go home, get changed, get lunch and hit the road,” I replied. 

“Do you guys wanna travel in one car or separate cars?” Aaron asked. “I’ve spoken to Lewis and Dean, they’re happy enough by themselves.” “Sure, we can travel together, meet at ours in an hour? I’ll make us all lunch then we can head,” Alex replied. 

"Parker!” my dad called and waved me over, I groaned as I saw Mr Heckles the guidance councillor was with him. “Back in a sec babe,” I said and kissed her quickly before walking over to my dad. “Congratulations Mr Adams,” Mr Heckles said as I approached them. “Thank you, I couldn’t have done any of it without Alex,” I replied. 

“Mr Heckles was just telling me about your last history project, you got a ninety eight and you didn’t tell me?” my dad said. I shrugged, “it was just a project dad, it wasn’t on the exams or anything.” “Well still, you should have told me, I’m proud of you son,” he replied and clapped my shoulder. 

“Thanks,” I said and looked behind me to where Alex was, my heart stopped as I didn’t see her. I looked around quickly and still didn’t spot her, “sorry dad, I need to find Alex, she was there a second ago,” I said quickly and hurried off before he could say anything. 

“Where’s Alex?” I yelled a soon as I got to Aaron and Callie who were now talking to another two classmates. Callie frowned and looked behind her, “she was there a second ago.” My heart began to pound as fear and panic washed over me, something didn’t feel right, Theo was restless too. “Find her,” I growled and took off into the crowd. 

“Alex! Alex!” I called as I pushed through the crowd, “Alex!” I yelled louder. I'm an i***t, I never should have left her side. I knew something was up, I knew it was about her. Aaron and I had decided not to go see Steven until we put more pieces together.....I should have gone! This is all my fault!

“Parker!” A girl from my art class called and waved me over, “are you looking for Alexa?” “Yes, have you seen her?” I asked quickly. She nodded and pointed towards the parking lot, “she just passed me two minutes ago with her dad.” 

Shit! No! He wouldn’t do anything to her, not with so many people around. “Thanks Alison!” I called as I raced towards the lot. Picking up her scent I frantically looked around, sniffing harder I got halfway down the lot and stopped as her scent was strongest here, “Alex? Babe?” I called out. 

When I got no reply I started to look between the cars until my eyes landed on an unconscious Steven by the ditch. I sucked in a deep breath and my life stopped as I spotted one of Alex's shoes on the ground in front of him. 

I dropped to my knees as my heart broke and let out the most painful howl I could. My baby was gone, someone had taken her right from under my nose. Someone has my Alex, and I was only a minute behind....a minute too late.
