ROSA'S POV "Auntie Rosaaaa...." Zephyr giggled. "You promised you wouldn't peep!" He laughed. "I promised, but how much longer do I keep my palms against my face?" I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my lips. Look what these children were making me do. "Not to worry Auntie Rosa, your hair would definitely turn out great!" Zane added, making me release a muffled chuckle in form of a sigh. "You already look pretty." Zephyr whispered, patting both my cheeks with his little palms. I could feel his breath fan across my face, which only meant his face was a few inches away from mine. Before I could tell what was happening, he dropped a chaste kiss on my cheeks. "Thank you, Auntie." He sighed, wiggling his way atop my thighs. I experienced a little difficulty, keeping my palms against my face, and holding him steady on my thighs at the same time. Eventually, I let my hands down and Zane yelled in excitement. "Auntie Rosa, just in time! We're done styling your hair."
RYAN'S POV It had been quite a hectic day for me. Going to the Golden Height pack to appoint a new alpha, turned out quite unexpectedly. All of a sudden, I became regent Alpha to Golden Height. Shocking indeed. By the time I had gotten to the Golden Height pack, I was ready to call together the pack's council chiefs for a quick meeting. The plan had been to appoint a new Alpha amongst the chiefs, through a unanimous vote. But as fate would have it, the moment I got to the pack house, the Luna of the pack had been readily standing by the gate, with her little daughter standing beside her. We exchanged pleasantries, and she went ahead to table her request before me. Apparently, she had a daughter for the late Alpha. Her stance was for her daughter to inherit the Alpha position after her late father. But the problem was, it was rarely ever seen that a woman became Alpha after their fathers. I was still trying to make her see reasons, when she handed over to me a letter with
ROSA'S POV "Please send for the stable master immediately." I ordered the guard standing behind me and he nodded, his eyes focused onto black space. I figured he was mindlinking the stable master. Today was the second day on my mission of restructuring the castle staff. I felt they could be more productive if more hands were dedicated to more strenuous labours, than unnecessary things like bathing a Luna. It had been over one week since I signed the contract, and I found it weird that Ryan still hadn't come to me. Not that I was worried, or anything. I just hoped he wasn't thinking of pulling out of our agreement. We had come this far, and I didn't want to entertain the thought that he wasn't interested any longer. I was also getting bored staying in my chambers all day, until yesterday, when Laura brought up the idea of getting busy with Luna duties. Of course, I knew that I had duties to perform as Luna, but I guess I didn't want to start acting, until I really knew
RYAN'S POV "Be good." Philip lightly punched my arm, before stepping closer to my ear and whispering. "And behave yourself." He warned. It honestly got me smiling. My Beta was warning me because of Rosa? Interesting. I gently pushed him aside, and turned to a tired looking Lily. She was always tired these days, and her belly grew bigger as well. I wondered if pregnancy was also going to take a toll on Rosa. Wait..... Why was I thinking about her now? "Stay strong, Lily." I managed a small smile, which she returned. Just then, Rosa walked up to us, and pulled Lily in for a hug. "Be good." She gave Lily a light pat on her cheek. "Philip, please take good care of her." She playfully ordered, and Phillip chuckled, nodding in obedience. "Let's go." I said to Rosa, who acted like I had said nothing, and started walking ahead of me. I couldn't help the scowl that found its way to my face. "Interesting." Philip whispered, an amused look on his face. I threw him a glare, b
ROSA'S POV How could he bring her here?! That maid. Aliya, or whatever. I wasn't going to let it bother me though. I didn't care. "Luna...." Laura's voice interrupted. "Huh?" I shook off the thoughts in my mind. "What did you say?" "You've been in a different world for some minutes now." "Naaahhh, I'm fine." I muttered, a small smile on my face. "I'm done." She informed, and that was when I actually paid attention to the mirror in front of me. I was gorgeous! It reminded me of my welcome party at the cold moon pack. 'It seems to be that we were made for this kind of life. Rich and beautiful'. My wolf gushed in excitement. 'We are indeed'. I still couldn't believe these were my luck. My life had done a 180 so swiftly. "I suppose it's time for the ceremony?" I asked Laura, who nodded in agreement. "One of the maids just mindlinked me. Alpha Ryan and Luna Amelia await your presence downstairs." "Thank you, Laura." I nodded, helping myself off the chair I h
ROSA'S POV "Auntie Rosa, I would be back soon." Alvira giggled, jumping off the bed and following the maid who had come to get her for lunch. "Don't go anywhere." She ordered firmly, which got me laughing. "I wouldn't." I promised. I released a sigh of satisfaction as she left. I had spent the past three days, bonding with my little Alvira. She was such a breathe of fresh air, and a productive attempt at distracting myself from what had happened between Ryan and I, three days ago. I looked up at the ceiling of my chambers, thinking how nice it would have been, to share this whole new level of experience with someone else. With Audrey. Since I left for the coldmoon pack, I hadn't really thought about her. But now that I did, I couldn't help the tears that made their way to my eyes. I was just realizing that life without her was different. So different. Don't get me wrong, I was thankful. Very thankful for the goddess given privilege of being Luna to the coldmoon pack. Bu
RYAN'S POV I turned to the side, to see she was already dozing off. The goddess knew that I had constantly thirsted for her, ever since.... three nights ago. I wanted to be close to her again, and even in between her legs, if possible. I finally gave in to the temptation, as my hand helplessly reached for her thigh. She turned to look at me, seeming shocked by my actions. For moment, I thought to retrieve my hand that laid on her thighs, until I remembered the fact that I had every right to her. It was on the contract! I was free to be with her whenever I felt the urge to, and she consented to that. I had never felt happier about anything else in my life! Strengthening my resolve, I squeezed the flesh on her thigh, through the silky dress she had worn. She just sat there, looking at me in what seemed to be disbelief. I waited for her to put up some form of resistance against me, but she didn't. That only fueled my actions, and I swiftly picked her up from where she sat,
ROSA'S POV I walked down the flight of stairs, not able to tell why I felt anxious. As soon as I stepped into the hall, I was suprised to see a good number of maids there. 7 or 8, give or take. They certainly weren't going to the palace with us, were they? "Awww... Lunaaaa!!" Rayna giggled. "You always look breathtaking! How do you manage to wow us all the time?" "Stop the flattery...." "Not flattery!!!" A couple of maids said in unison, cutting me off. Realizing they had all said the same thing at once, there shared looks amongst themselves and laughed. "It never gets old, Luna." Laura said behind me. "You always look stunning." "Thank you." I whispered. "Always welcomed, Luna." Rayna chimed. "I heard Madame Hazel told the Alpha he is lucky to have you." "Rayna!" Laura called her in a chastising tone. Rayna immediately flung her palm across her lips, her eyes wide in shock. She had obviously let it slip from her mouth. Raynaaa... "I'm sorry, Luna. It wasn't inte
THIRD PERSON'S POV.~~~~~~~~~"I'm tired Rosaaaa." Lily drawled, looking quite exhausted. "I think we should return to your chambers, ma." Lily's personal maid; Rayna, chipped in."Yeah" Rosa nodded in agreement."Let's go." Lily made to pull Rosa along, but Rosa slowly shook her head in negation, to Lily's disappointment. "I would really love to take another round of walk through the garden, Lily. I would come see you as soon as I'm done.""Sure?" She pouted like a baby, and Rosa nodded in assurance.Having spent a better part of her day with Lily, tending to her hair, manicure, and pedicure, it was safe to say that they hand bonded greatly. Lily was a very easy going lady, with little or no drama.Rosa watched as she walked away, Rayna following her behind. She wondered when she was going to be heavy with Ryan's child as well.She started a new round through the garden, and hadn't walked up to five minutes, when a cold voice made her halt her steps."Fancy meeting you here, Luna R
RYAN'S POV."So, what you mean to say is...... Aliya was Henry's mate?" She asked, looking very shocked. A lot of things seemed to have come as a shock to us today. When Rosa had told us about her conversation with Amelia, I knew something was up between Guildford and Isabella. It wasn't a coincidence. Plus, Isabella's sudden appearance at his castle, was really suspicious. "Yes." I nodded. "And up until now, he doesn't know she is dead.""How is that even possible?" Audrey asked, her brows scrunching up in lack of comprehension. "They are mates, he is supposed to feel it when she dies.""I think it's different because she was first banished as a member of the honourable supernaturals. She was a Rogue." Rosa explained. That was true."What exactly is the deal with this Guilford man?" Audrey glared at no one in particular."The only thing I have been able to piece together in all these...." Logan paused, making all eyes fall on him. "....is that Guilford...." He paused again, lookin
THIRD PERSON'S POV 9 YEARS AGO.Sonya released a satisfied sigh, as the Kennedy staff was officially placed in her hand. She had done it! She was finally wielding the staff of authority over the Kennedy clan, and her joy knew no bounds.She had just turned 20 a month back, and had carried out the third and final cleansing ritual that made her eligible to be power custodian. Just then, her eyes locked with that of her uncle, and she gave an appreciative nod. He hadn't lied to her that night, 4 years ago. He had given his word that her sister would forfeit the position of power custodian, which she did.She didn't know how her uncle had managed to pull that off, but she was thankful to him. She remembered how heart broken she felt, when her mother had accused her of probably harming Brenda. She ran out to training grounds, where her uncle met her.Initially when he had approached her and began talking about how he had been cheated, and not allowed to be power custodian over her fathe
12 YEARS AGO.THIRD PERSON'S POV."I just don't get it." Sonya mumbled. "Why does everything always have to revolve around her?""Shame on you, Sonya." Elsa glared, her eyes holding worry and tears. "Shame on you, once again. Your sister goes missing before her first cleansing ritual, and this is what you have to say? How much more sadistic could you be?!""I am sadistic?!" Sonya snarled like the rebellious teen that she was. She may have been rebellious, but her kindness wasn't debatable. All through her childhood, she always had to forfeit most things she desired or wanted, for the sake of her elder sister; Brenda. Brenda was the next in line to become power custodian of the Kennedy family, after their father; Angus. For that reason, she was the favoured child, over Sonya. When they were little, their parents provided the better things for Brenda, even down to things as little as toys.All Sonya's life, she knew she had great energy within her. She may have been the younger sister,
ROSA'S POV "I am worried, Ryan." I sighed, putting on my dress."You know that I prefer you nude." He muttered, a naughty smile on his face. For a moment, I paused my movements and a small smile broke onto my face."You have repeatedly told me that for the past couple of days.""I won't tire of saying it, until you truly believe that I adore your body." He grinned, making such a touchy subject very light hearted."I do believe." I sighed, a shy smile on my face. Who would have thought that I'd be smiling while having a conversation about this?He stood up from the bed, walking up to me and pulling me by the waist."Oh, my Rose." He sighed, tucking a stray stand of hair behind my ear. "I miss you already." He whined, suddenly sounding like a baby. "Move away!" I giggled, walking out of his hold, when he pulled me into him again. His hands laid on the slightly protruded pouch on my belly. Yes, I was being to show now. It was still a bit hidden beneath my dresses but soon, it will no l
THIRD PERSON'S POV "What are you even saying?" She asked, glaring daggers at the man who had just revealed the recent plot twist in this game of chess he played. "Now listen to me!" He lashed out against Isabella. "You will lay with the Gamma, and have my pup as his! He will become the Alpha of coldmoon, and my pup will be next!" "This wouldn't work! Ray wouldn't look at me that way." "Who says we need him to look at you in 'that way'?" He mocked. "All he needs to know, is that you're his mate." "Are you going crazy or what?" She was slowly losing it. "Ray isn't my mate!" "And you think I can't make him?" Guilford grinned devilishly, making her eyes slightly go wide. "What are you saying?" This time, her words came out as a whisper. "What I'm saying is.... it takes nothing for me to create a mate bond that has never been there. I did it before, and I can surely do it again." "What?" "Hmm." He nodded proudly. "All you just have to do Isabella, is listen and do
ROSA'S POV It was the wee hours of the morning, and I hadn't slept for as much as 2 hours. Ryan and I stayed up late discussing, and didn't realize it when we both slept off. I wondered why I was awake now, considering how sore my sleep deprived eyes felt. It took a few extra seconds for me to understand why. The feeling was subtle, but wonderful. I had never known what it felt like, to have my nipples suckled. "Ryan." His name dropped out of my lips, and a long breathy sigh followed suite. His lips were expertly sucking my left nipple, while his hand gently rubbed in circular motions against the other nipple. I knew that I was undoubtedly horny because the drowsy feeling was gradually escaping me. My hand reached out for his head, and my fingers swept through his silver mane, lightly pulling on some strands of his hair. I began to pant heavily when he lowered himself down there, and began breathing down my pussy. I knew what he wanted to do, and I wasn't disappointed. He ate me
ROSA'S POVI couldn't believe that those words had tumbled out of his mouth. That he loved.... me.He loved me.I was his purpose and his.... Redemption.I was that important to the only man that had ever meant so much to me. "Please tell me you love me too." Came his words, and I felt my heart constricting in painful happiness. "Hooo...." I released some hot breathe, feeling him readjust his weight above me."Please say something." He added, his eyes begging me.At that point, I knew I was saturated. If proper care wasn't taken, by heart might somewhat combust. "I...." I released another deep sigh, feeling that painful lump in my throat. "I am scared that at this rate, I love you too much for my heart to bear." I finally managed to say, as a couple more strands of tears rolled down my eyes. I had been so cautious about being vulnerable to anyone since after Andrew, but I realized that Ryan had broken down my walls. With him, I could exist wholly. With him, I found peace. "Rosal
RYAN'S POV I watched as she sluggishly stepped out of the bathroom, avoiding my gaze. It would have definitely taken so much emotional and psychological will, to do what she had done, yesterday. But more than anything else, I was glad she had finally stood up for herself.She didn't have to say much, for me to deduce the kind of life she had as a growing child. She was most certainly bullied, humiliated, taunted by others. To make things worse, the very man who was supposed to care for and protect her, only ended up being her worst nightmare. Whenever I replayed that seen from her dream in my head, my blood boiled. Seeing her kill that man, had satisfied me in a way that killing him myself, wouldn't have.Deep down, I knew she had set herself free from a lot of emotional pain and baggage, especially after finding out that the same man had locked her powers and killed her mother.Rosa was so strong and my admiration for her had increased, if that was even possible. With how much my h
