Kissing her good night and watching her get in her father’s SUV was breaking me, yea I know it’s just for one night, but I don’t have to like it. I mind link her as the door shuts, “don’t go.”The door opens and she steps out looking at me with sorrow swirling in her eyes, “I don’t want to.” She turns and looks at her Momma, “were you separated from Dad the night before your union?”She bites her bottom lip, “no,” she shakes her head, “but the very next morning he was literally pushed out of our bedroom, in just his boxers,” she giggles.Abigail grabs my hand, “come with me then, you can stay with me in my old room and leave in the morning,” she smiles at me.Braddock interrupts, “Abi, his family is here and will leave in two days, he won’t see them again for a long time, do you think that is fair, for him to come home with you?”My brother Christian came out of the house, with a drink in both hands, “Brother we are waiting on you,” he holds up a shot glass and shouts, “tradition.”I
I couldn’t stop laughing when I received the pictures of Christov, my poor baby was being tortured by his brothers and had no clue. I had to threaten Ivan because I knew Christov would be upset knowing they had sent me pictures. I shake my head as Tyler and Brooklyn both cuddle closer to me, yea I’m not going to get much sleep tonight. My siblings all decided that we needed a slumber party in the family room without Momma and Daddy, so I had all the little ones surrounding me and snuggled close. I’m going to miss all of them so much, not knowing every detail of their days, I look at Tyler, he won’t be showing me all his pictures and schoolwork anymore, especially once the new pack house is completed. I move the hair from Sophia’s face, her chubby cheeks are so kissable, she won’t be harassing me about boys and what she should do. I shake my head, Goddess she is only 8 and already has boy issues. I look at Lynx and smile, my quiet little man, he is sneaky and ruthless already, he
I stand at the waterfall and watch as our pack members are entering from all the tree lines surrounding the open wildflower field, cars are parked from visiting Alpha’s and Luna’s where the dirt road is and my nerves are now getting the best of me. I haven’t heard from Abigail since this morning, when I texted her my “good morning beautiful.” Her response didn’t have the usual effect on my manhood, “good morning baby, I’ll see you soon mate,” wink emoji and kissy face emoji. I smile at the thought as I watch Elza looking around with unease. I mind link her, “relax Elza, your safe here.”Her head snaps in my direction, and she responds, “I’m fine brother,” she says snappy.I smile at her, I know she is looking for Richard and Jackson, they’ve given her too much attention and now she is looking for it. I hold up my hands in surrender to her and she rolls her eyes at me. I smile at her lopsided and she giggles in my mind, “I’m just nervous for you, this is a big day and I’ve seen h
Watching my sweetpea putting on my union gown is a dream come true, she is stunning and looks like a princess. Braddock stands at the bottom of the stairs and watches as we both walk down, his smile is wide and his eyes twinkle at us both. He shakes his head, his arms are behind his back and I know he is hiding something. He clears his throat, “my girls are absolutely the most beautiful in the world, my princess’,” he smiles.We get to the bottom and Abigail looks at him, “Dad you say that every time we are dressed up like dolls,” she rolls her eyes at him.He chuckles and brings his arm out from behind his back and Abigail giggles, “my rabbit,” she looks at him, “thanks Daddy,” she takes it from him and hugs it to her chest, “I haven’t forgotten about you, I’ve been busy,” she says to the old stuff animal.Braddock chuckles, “he will need to find a new dance partner today, I believe you have a new one,” he pouts at her.I shake my head, “Braddock stop, don’t make her cry, she is
As I look in the full length mirror at my reflection I hide my smile, I won’t admit to anyone that I feel like a real life princess, one of the many my Momma has statues of in her glass case in her office. I twirl around in her gown and see the smile on her face is worth any of the torture I’m going to tell her I’m going through. “Do I look like you imagined I would Momma.”She stands and wipes the imaginary tears from her eyes, “you’re more beautiful than I could have ever imagined sweetpea.” She walks to the door and opens it, “everyone else has left, it’s just you, me and Daddy left to go, and I do believe Christov is only waiting for you.”I smile at her and walk through the door, I spin and do a princess wave, “did I do that right Momma,” I blink at her.Her laughter carries down the hallway, “perfect, now when you leave make sure you do that out the window,” she snickers, and I narrow my eyes at her.When I saw the obvious Cinderella carriage, I was jumping up and down with e
I mingled amongst the crowd, it’s a sea of people and, as we wanted, all the smaller pups are surrounded by both packs, I see my target and keep him in full view. Ryan number 2 is all mine, he won’t get out of my sight, I notice he keeps himself among the Iron Claw pack and Ryan number 1 stays far away. I mind link Braddock, who’s just driven up in a carriage straight out of a Disney movie and chuckle, “Luna Charlie got her wish, you big softy.”He growls through the link, “when I slap the back of your head later know why.” I look at him and he smiles wide as he climbs down and opens the carriage door. I mind link him back, “your target is standing to the left of you.” I watch as he lowers his Luna first and kisses her cheek as her feet hit the ground, then he lowers Alpha princess Abigail. I can’t lie and say that I didn’t tear up at the sight of her, she’s like my own daughter, I’ve watched her grow up, felt the terror when she was abducted and the pain of her being gone for ov
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
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
