Our Sanctuary
The Valley
By Alex Isaacs
PROLOGUE
We had not been back to school that long when the University got the students together to tell us that all the classes have stopped, and we should go home until further notice; we would get a call when they would start up again. We looked at the news; there were just partial broadcasts of a bad virus going around. I took out my computer and went to the army website; it still had it on regular status.
I got everyone together, asking, "what should we do; there is no sense panicking for nothing right yet."
Beth and Scott said, "we haven't heard from anyone on the committee yet." I know they do have their inside people. We decided to keep running the business here and running loads to the valley. I needed to get this last trip in and make sure this special cargo was safe in case something did happen.
We headed out to the valley with four trucks filled with fruits, vegetables, other canned foods, and water. We left a little behind in the yard; it saved us a lot in paying out grocery bills. Jake knew what to do if anything was to happen. We drove up to the valley, stopping just for fuel, taking the food we bought with us. We got to the valley in two days, just as we always did, and unloaded the trailers. I talked with my parents about what was going on. I also let the rest of the people that were here in the valley the same information. I let them know what was going on and hoping it would all get back to normal.
My dad came to get me to look at the news; it was not looking very good now. The news people were still not showing everything, but that was usual with them. We went online and saw some of the mayhem that was going on. I was glad I had made the correct decision, and now I saw how the others in our group were willing to do anything with me. As we got ready, I started to go through my mind a list of things we needed to do.
My dad said, "he and the others had everything under control here," my dad also said, "I had to do what I had to do. They will harvest the fields, and have the food and grain brought in, he will see to the other fields later." I could see my brother David and Rocky, heading out with two girls to help them. My dad came up to me and said, "he would have the first batch of homemade wine ready for us to sample when we had time."
I looked at my mom and gave her a big hug; she enjoyed all the work she was doing; she liked being in charge of things. My mother kept everyone in line, she set out rules, and everyone did not mind following them. I got the others ready to go on this trip back to the yard. It sits outside the University that some of us were attending. It should only take us two days to get back unless we ran into a bad storm or any accidents.
Before getting into my truck with Beth as my third driver, I took another look over our sanctuary that we have built over the last three years. I said my goodbyes to my family and friends that were staying here, waiting for our return.
My name is Alex, and I should tell you how we got to this point in time. It all started as I was finishing my last year of high school.
COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
She thought she was the love of his life, and he became the love of her life that fateful day she had seen him at the pack's party. Selene Grace was only a replica of Alpha Leo's real mate, and when he spotted her, Leo immediately claimed her as his Luna in order to suppress the rumors of him being mateless. Being unable to conceive turns Selene's marriage into a nightmare, and as if that wasn't enough, Alpha Leo finally reunites with his long time lover and mate, rejecting a pregnant Selene as a result. 5 years later, Selene, a now successful doctor, receives an invitation to the moon shadow pack in order to rid the pack of a deadly disease which has struck it. Will Selene return back to the pack which had caused her so much pain, and what would she do when she realizes that she is mated to the Alpha who had betrayed her in the past?
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.
