It takes 3 hours for us to get the men and Sasha into cells, get the counsel members to the hospital and wait to ensure that they are all being treated before we head back to our union reception, which I can only imagine as total chaos and ruined beyond repair. I can feel Abigails mixture of feeling rushing through our bond but her fury at her own cousin is hitting her the hardest. I stop before we can see the damage of the wildflower field and pull her to me in a tight hug, “Abigail, it will take time to process all this, but we will do it together little dove, this burden is not only yours to bare, it belongs to both of us.”She looks up at me, “he’s my cousin, he should have trusted in us, confided in us to help him,” she shakes her head, “we were raised to honor the fated bond, but not be a fool to it, not to walk into it with blinders on.” She leans her head on my chest, “he hurt you willingly and me.” She pulls out of my hold, “we have guests that expect us back,” she shakes
I snuggle into his chest as we dance, my eyes now fall onto the others and I can’t help the thoughts that run through my mind, this is one union no one will forget, they all showed up dressed in fancy clothing only to return home in long t-shirts and basketball shorts. The only people spared from this are the children, who are still dressed in their beautiful clothing, except for Tyler who has pulled off his bowtie and shoes and snuggles into Luna Lana’s neck as she and her mate dance with him between them. My eyes fall on Momma and Daddy who look as if they are in their own world and none of us are even here. Then there's Jackson who is sitting at a table smiling with his fingers tapping on it, I follow his line of sight and find Richard dancing with Elza and giggling as she steps on his toes, and he smiles at her. I look up at Christov and whisper, “do you think they’d notice if we left,” I wiggle my brows at him.He scoops me up and I yelp, as he mind links me, “I don’t care if
My mind is a mess to think my own brother is a traitor and was collaborating with the enemy and the reason he was. When I heard Alpha Abigail talking to my mom about Tristen I wanted to kill him then, watching our mother’s face fall and her eyes fill with tears of despair was more than I could stand. He stood there as if we should understand why he was doing this, “she’s my mate,” like that is a good reason for helping her escape from a dungeon. What was worse was he knew what she had done to Christov and how it had hurt Abigail our own blood and Alpha. Taking him back to Crescent Moon’s dungeons he told me that he had indeed scented her the day she was at our pack house, while we were all in the conference room dealing with the contracts, he followed her scent to the garden. He said he approached her, and she almost rejected him immediately, saying she was an Alpha’s chosen Luna and nothing would come between her having the title she had given everything for. I almost laughed a
I knew our ride to the airport to drop off my family would be bittersweet, I just didn’t know that Tyler would be escorting his Luna. Abigail agreed he could come and that she would deal with the aftermath. The ride there was comical, listening to him tell my Momma what she could and couldn’t do without him by her side to protect her. Little man will be a force when he gets older, the poor female that gets him will have her hands full. My father just chuckled and nodded in agreement as he was instructed of how to care for her. When they got out at the departure terminal and we said our goodbyes, that’s when Abi had her first dealings with a 5 year old’s temper tantrum as he screamed, kicked and wailed over my Momma leaving. Abi held him tightly, soothing his hair and talking softly to him the entire ride back and he finally calmed to the point we could both breathe. I couldn’t stop the thoughts of how wonderful she is going to be when it is our own pups that she cuddles and soo
I pull out my phone as Christov pulls out driving away from the pack house, Antonia answers on the 1st ring, “Abi,” she says softly, “are you okay.” I know she’s hurting, but she worried about me, and I love her so much for that.“Yea, I’ll be fine, are you okay? Are you at the pack house with Michael?” I ask hoping her answer is a yes.“I was, but I have work to do and so does he and,” she sniffles, “I still need her Abi, she left me too soon,” her voice cracks and I know my tough, sweet cousin is breaking and she is alone. “Are you at the club now?” I ask because I’m ready to run to her this very second.She sighs, “yea, it’s fine Abi, I’m fine,” she says confidently, and I know she isn’t, how could she be, my Bisnonna was like her mother. I shake my head, staring out the side window as tears fill my eyes, “you’re lying to me Antonia you’re not fine and you’re hurting.” I look out the front window and we are pulling into the parking lot of the club. I look at Christov as he ope
Driving to the Midnight pack and leaving Dimitri to overlook Crescent Moon as Beta Josh and Gamma Gabe both wanted to attend Bisnonna’s pyre, they grew up with her and have very fond memories of when she had come and literally brought them all together as a big family. Listening to how she handled them as young pups I could feel the admiration they each held for her and a part of me feels left out since I didn’t know her but just meeting her twice. Entering the border was easier than I expected but of course Abigail, being in the car, made it that way, I didn’t miss how her entire body stiffened the moment we passed into it and it took a few minutes for her to relax again. Beta Josh mind linked me and told me this territory holds horrible memories for his Alpha, she was held here captive in a root cellar for over a year. I looked in the rearview mirror at him and mind linked him back, “we need to talk, something about this isn’t right.”We pulled into the pack house parking lot, an
We came to Crescent Moon pack thinking we’d have it to ourselves for the night, only to be interrupted by my entire family busting through the foyer doors as Christov had me thrown over his shoulder and heading up the stairs. My Momma cackled at the sight and screamed up at us, “don’t stop keep going.” Of course that didn’t happen, because I’m a fucking good girl and won’t put my father through the torture of knowing his sweetpea is getting her brains fucked out of her skull in the room across from his own. Storm laughed at me, “it’s not like they didn’t do it with you in the same room.” I cringed at that thought, “thanks Storm I may never have sex again after that picture in my head.”I have to love my baby though, he smiled sweetly at me as he lowered me to the floor, adjusted his raging hard on before we turned and headed back down the stairs, “you’ll make this up to me when we get our own pack house,” he growled in my head. I couldn’t help but visibly shiver as I thought of a
Walking into the dungeon of Iron Claw’s pack was difficult but I had to make sure that this girl was not a victim and was just using my boys for her devious twisted gains. I stood outside the cell, the girl had her back to the entrance laying on the wooden cot, her long blonde hair dangled off it hitting the floor and I spoke, “I’m Dr. Cynthia, I’m here to evaluate you if you don’t mind.”Her head moved as she looked over her shoulder at me, she was a real beauty, her big blue eyes glared at me, “I don’t need evaluating, go away.”I nodded, “you sure about that?” I arch a brow, “most prisoners welcome me, thinking I can get them out of whatever sentence they will incur, and you are looking at death,” I shrug, “but if you have no need for me, I’ll just go,” I turned from her to leave.I heard her laugh, “death for what, allowing someone to break me out of this hell hole,” she shakes her head.I cross my arms over my chest, “is that what you think you’re in here for? Why were you in h
I stare into the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen, sky blue eyes blink open, as little pink lips part with a toothless yawn. I blink back my tears and smile down at our perfect little bundle. Christov’s large hand cradles the mop of black curls that adorn his perfect head, he whispers, “Alexader fits him Momma, what do you think?”A tear falls down my cheek as I look at our son, “Alexander is perfect, Daddy.”Christov eyes dart to mine and he smiles wide, “you did so good little dove, so very good.”I nod, “yea, he’s perfect in every way isn’t he, I don’t think I’ve seen a more handsome boy.”He sits down on the bed and puts his arm around me, kissing my temple, “he looks like you that’s why.”I laugh, “he looks just like his Daddy and I think your pretty perfect.”A soft knock hits the door, and I know our quiet moment is over, I look up at him, “there all out there aren’t they?”He nods and smirks, “yea, and I think the hospital wants them all gone, they are taking up all of the
Today is Tyler's 6th birthday, he's more than excited for his party, which is being held at our house, which I didn't fully understand why, until this morning. My Momma arrived at 7am and fully charged and ready to be a grandmother. I woke up to the smell of her cooking and nearly fell on my face getting out of bed, Abigail had her leg wrapped mine and wouldn't let go. She smiled at me as I glared at her, "surprise," she said hesitantly. I lay back down and pulled her into me, well as close as her huge baby bump allows and she giggled, "Dimitri picked her up an hour ago at the airport," she says softly to me.I shake my head, "nice, so she is Tyler's big gift, or the little man knew she was coming and that is why he is so excited to have his party here," I cock a brow at her.She pouts, "you knew she was going to be here for our pup so she came a few days early," she pushes at my side for me to get up and I know she has to use the ensuite. I move and help her stand and watch as s
I’m staring at Christov when it hits me, “baby, you never told me what happened to your face?”He looks at me confused, “the scare in my eyebrow? That happened when I was a pup, my brother Ivan…”I shake my head, “no, the claw marks, the ones I healed, how did it happen?”I watch as he visibly gulps and stands up coming over to me, he pulls me out of my chair and sits in it, placing me on his lap, “now before you react, let me just say this, she was so sorry, seconds afterwards.”I arch a brow at him, “she? Who is she?” I'll kill the she-wolf that thought it was fine to hurt him.His arms tighten around my waste, “Luna Charlie, she was upset over the video and…”I growl, “are you telling me that my Momma attacked you.”He looks me in the eye, “Abi, she was so hurt and angry and yes she did, but she wanted to heal me seconds later, but Braddock stopped her and I don’t blame him or her, in her mind I had done the unspeakable to you and I can understand it more today than I did then.”
When we announced to the pack that their will be a winter solstice festival, which will help in creating our solidarity, the Iron Claw members were excited, they had never experienced anything like it and truth be told neither had I. As I sat at my desk I looked at Abigail, her tongue sticking out of the side of her mouth as she concentrated on the financial report, it’s a huge undertaking now that our pack is so big, but I can’t help admire just how smart and beautiful my mate is. I finish up with all the new alliance contracts that will be sent out, now that we have combined both packs, all our alliances need to sign contracts again and it is all to their benefit, since we are now the largest pack.Gamma Dimitri and Gamma Gabe moved into their floors here, but our Beta’s have stayed in the original pack houses, keeping someone of higher rank closer where the pack members are was a decision we both agreed upon. We haven’t told our pack members about their heir yet, Abigail wants t
Luna Lana was over the moon about having a grandpup, her first and I can’t help but rub my ear as her squeal is still ringing it. We sit at the island in the kitchen, yes still naked and Christov eyes me up. I giggle, “see something you like Alpha?”His growl is playful as I move back against the farmers sink to give him a full view, he moves off his stool and stalks me like prey, his eyes swirling with undeniable lust when a hard bang hits the front door. His head snaps towards it as if he is going to kill whoever is on the other side and I chuckle. He grabs me by the waist and kisses me quickly and then moves towards the foyer. I scream, “Christov, clothes!”He laughs, “we’re werewolves, people see us this way all the time.”I arch a brow to him, “really, you walk around with my lollypop at full attention around the pack?”He looks down at himself and I grab his hand, “come on, we need to get something to cover you up.” I yell out as we hit the stairs, “give us a minute.” I h
When he picked up me up I didn’t know how to tell him, I just found out I’m pregnant and we hadn’t really discussed when we wanted to have a pup, but I was sure he didn’t want one now, not when we are so newly marked and mated. Not to mention that we still have so much work to do with combining the two packs, making it all work right. I need time to get it straight in my own head first, really know what I want to do with this. When he pulled up to our home, I had no idea it would be ready, but to see what he had done, to see all our furniture, arranged just as I wanted in the living room and the painting, oh my baby has talent. I couldn’t believe he had done a painting of our union, and it is beyond anyone’s imagination. The falls, the wildflowers and the princess carriage, me in my momma’s dress and him in his tuxedo, but what captured me the most, the golden dragon in the distance with a small boy riding it and the black wolf that sits on top of the carriage holding the reins in
To say I’m excited is an understatement, we’ve worked tirelessly all day moving furniture in to our new home, Abigail has no idea that the house is ready and surprisingly enough no one has let it slip. The news that our Beta couple is with pup and the shit storm that Gabe has caused in the Crescent Moon pack house has kept her far away. We made one decision about our new home, that both Gamma’s will move in immediately to this one, yea, Braddock isn’t so keen of having Gabe around all the time now since Teresa has just turned 14 and he’s 26. They will move in tomorrow though, tonight it is just my little dove and myself, yea, we are going to be busy tonight for sure.Abigail had picked out every bit of furniture a month ago, so having it all delivered yesterday and today was easy enough, the only thing that I didn’t do was set up the kitchen or stock it. I made sure we had water, juice and stuff for breakfast and of course, there is a bottle of Champagne in every room on ice and j
It’s been a couple of weeks and now the dust has finally settled from our union and the council being here. It’s Sunday and as promised we are heading to dinner and movie night with my family. I can’t lie and say I don’t miss the day to day chaos that is my family, but I do appreciate it more when I have some control of the amount I receive. Christov chuckles as he opens the door to the foyer, “ready for it, because they know we’re here.”He opens the door and to our surprise only Tyler is there, and he is sitting on the bottom step, with his little fists under his chin. We walk inside and he doesn’t even look at us, I walk towards him and kneel in front of him, “hey bud, you okay,” I muss his hair, and he shakes his head and scoots his bottom away from me. I turn looking up at Christov and he smiles down at me as he kneels now in front of Tyler, “hey little man, what’s wrong?”Tyler looks at him and wrinkles his nose, “I don’t like girls anymore.”Christov’s expression is pricele
I sit behind my desk listening to Abigail and Cynthia as they talk about Sasha, Abigail is pacing the office, her rage is boiling over and Cynthia sits just watching her as she speaks softly and calmly to her, “Alpha Abigail, I’ve been talking with Sasha for 3 days now, she was just beginning to open up about what she had experienced when you came barging in.”Abigail stops dead and glares at her, “did you ask if you could speak to a prisoner? Or do you think you do not need to follow protocols any longer since she is your son’s fated mate?”Cynthia flinches at the accusation and raises her hand to Abigail, “stop right there Alpha Abigail, I do not need anyone’s permission to evaluate a potential victim, whether they are my son’s fated or not, it is my job to assess, evaluate and report to you my findings.”Abigail arches a brow at her, “fine, so the rest of the prisoners, did you evaluations them, or just Sasha?”Cynthia frowns, “just Sasha.”Abigail frowns, “So I’m right, you’re con
