Well, sis, we just found out that we're going to be parents. Lily is pregnant with my pup. Oh, that is wonderful news, I told him. How can I leave now knowing that I will be an Auntie? Sis, don't worry, we will come to visit when the pup is born. Besides, you have a big ole Alpha waiting for you.Zach's P.O.V.Sunday night at around 6 pm, my dad calls me from the airport and tells me that his flight just got in and that he and his mate will be on their way as soon as they get their luggage. Alright, Dad, I tell him I will be here waiting to see you and meet your new mate. Bye son, bye, I say. When are we supposed to be meeting Dad's mate? I turn around and see my sister Ivory, and I am shocked that she is even here. Ivory, what are you doing here? You are supposed to be in Spain with our cousins. Zach, do you think that I would miss the opportunity of meeting Dad's new mate? It's that I wasn't expecting to see you, and don't think our father will be expecting to see you as well. It wi
ZachDad came home with his mate and she turned out to be a vampire. That is what the Moon Goddess Selene has blessed my dad with. I never thought that my dad would be mated to a vampire, but the moon goddess always has a reason for doing what she does. Heading upstairs towards Ivory's room. I call out to Ivory's dad's home. Ivory, can you hear me? Oh my yes, Pier that is the spot right there work that muscle of yours in me. Yes, Pier makes me scream. I am so glad that this room is soundproof else someone will be hearing what I don't want them to hear.I knock on Ivory's door just to make sure someone is in there. Nope, can't hear anything so I mind linking here, Ivory, what are you doing? Dad is home with his new mate. Oh okay, I will be down there in ten minutes. You better hurry, because they look exhausted and probably want to go to sleep. Ten minutes is all I am asking for Zach? Alright, ten minutes Ivory.IreneI can't believe that my brother's mind linked to me while I was about
MartyWell tonight I am going to introduce you as my mate to the pack. In other words, we're going to have a party tonight, right dad? Irene said. Yep, we sure are going to be a grand ole celebration. I haven't been mated since your mom died in that rogue attack four years ago. Yeah that was tragic for all of us and the pack as well. Once you are introduced then we can go around meeting the pack members.Let's just hope that the pack is happy about you finding your second chance mate, Zach said to me. Well if they don't then it will be extra training for them until they can learn to respect my Luna. Dad she is only going to be Luna for a couple of years or at least until Zach graduates school. Okay so, here it is Irene and I were discussing that I should stay Alpha at least until you graduate school Zach. That way Irene is Luna for a little longer, you can train more and learn the ins and outs of being a good Alpha to the Riverside Lake Pack. How do you feel about that, I asked him.A
IvoryWe found several dresses, pants, shirts, skirts, etc. anything they had we got. We each had a handful of clothes and went to the dressing room to try what we did and didn't want. Irene, how is it coming along there? It is just coming along just fine, I tell her. You know, some of these clothes can be a little revealing. Nonsense, she says to me, you have a great body.We both modeled the outfits in front of each other, which we loved. Then there was a maybe pile of some clothes that we couldn't decide on. Eventually, we found what we were looking for, and I have to say that the dress Irene is going to wear for the party tonight is a knockout. My father won't even know what hit him. He will be so enthralled by her beauty as if she is the only one there and no one else. We even decided to get some intimate apparel as well. Can not have outfits without those. By the time we were done shopping, we were, famished, but we didn't want anything from the food court, especially if we want
IreneWhen we get home I couldn't help but wonder what our server Paula was talking about. She was saying that she will see us at the party and she seemed a little upset when apparently Ivory didn't remember her. Hmmm… what was all that about? No time to think though I hopped in the shower, washed my body and my hair, then got out. Once I got out and dried off I was ready to put my dress on. My dress was a gold with a little bit of rhinestones on it and I had some black heels to go with it.Ivory comes into the room so she and I can get ready together, plus I would need help zipping my dress up since it is in the back and Ivory's dress is completely beautiful and it matches the tone of her skin. We are sitting there doing our hair and makeup. I do her hair first in twists from the side then clip it with a barrette and give her a few curls going down her back. I sit down, then she does my hair in a side sweep to the right with long curls going down to my waist. Then she helps me step in
You see I was going through some issues at home and school was the only place I could let out my frustrations. Now I know just because I was having issues at home didn't allow me the right to bully you. Therefore, I sincerely do apologize for everything. Irene Wait hold up do you know the pain that I went through? The horrible things I thought about doing to myself because of being bullied. No, she says I had no idea what it was like to be bullied until I met my alcoholic father. He would hit me if I didn't do a good job on something or he thought that I did it half way. Paula tells me that she knows it is no excuse to bully someone no matter what you are going through. No it is not I tell her. The pain of not being able to go to school from being bullied so much. I was doing fine until you made me remember about being bullied. It was four years ago and I was the Alpha's daughter, but you guys thought it was okay to buly me. Why did you and your friends tthink hat it was may to bul
MartyHow did you like the party? I ask Irene. The party was amazing I can't believe how much this pack is accepting of me being your mate. Well I have been mateless ever since the kids mother died. It was bound to happen sometime and I believe that they were just waiting for me to come to terms with it. How did you get over it? One day I came out of my office drunk and stunk like a skunk. Now you we werewolves don't usually get drunk off of alcohol because we have a high tolerance for it. It was my son who saw me in that state and said to me dad the pack is suffering without you. You are the Alpha of this pack I know mom is gone, but the pack needs you to be strong for yourself as well as strong for them. Oh wow, I said how long have I been in there? He said let me put it to you this way dad you have a full grown beard. I went to look in the hallway mirror. Sure enough I did have a full grown beard. I think there was some food that got caught in my beard as well.I'm so sorry that yo
Marty I had to wonder if Irene was right about my Beta Paul. I mean I've had my suspicions myself, but I just needed to prove it. I needed to keep him close to me and find out what was really the problem with him? Did he have feelings for my mate or something like that? If he did, why wouldn't he tell me. Actually, I know why he would not tell me, because I'm the Alpha and you don't mess with an Alpha's mate. All the questions that Irene was asking me really had me wondering if I ever really knew Paul. How could I not know him? We have been friends since elementary school. Even his father was my dad's Beta before I even became Alpha. He was there for me when I needed him the most. He even had to knock some sense into me sometimes about the mate bond.I remember when we got to highschool and all the she wolves were throwing themselves at us, but mostly me knowing that I would be the next Alpha in line. However, there was one wolf named Marie Beltran; she was smart and beautiful. She
Duke’s P.O.V. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked up while holding my ex Sophia hostage. My mate was here, she smelled of Blackberries and Lilac roses. That scent was intoxicating, but I was so busy with her cousin that I didn’t even recognize the sign of her being my mate. That wasn’t until Alpha Lou said that he would not hurt me if I let his mate go. Even though I had a strong feeling that he wouldn’t keep his word. However, I let Sophia go anyway as she ran into his arms. Are you okay? He asks her. I’m fine now that I am back in your arms again. Alright, stay here for a moment, then the alpha begins to shift. That is when I knew that he was going to attack me. I waited for him to at least come and one of my limbs. It never happened though because when I opened my eyes while preparing for the worst. His cousin Stephanie jumped right in front of me. I have never been so grateful in my life, for a mate who is risking her life to be with me. She was defying the Alpha of her p
Stephanie’s P.O.V. When we got to the place to rescue my cousin’s mate. It smelled of dark chocolate and cookies. That is when I knew right then and there that the person who took our Luna was my mate. I had been looking for my mate since the Graduation and mating party. Now here we are, and we have to fight him just to get our Luna back. Of course, I could tell that Duke wasn’t that I was his mate. He was too busy convincing our Luna to be his chosen mate, that he didn’t even notice me. I was hoping that he would be able to tell that I was his mate. Then I remembered he probably couldn’t smell me if he was busy with Sophia. My mind was in a blur because even though he was my mate. We had to fight him just to get cousin’s mate back. I was too scared to tell my cousins and my brother that Duke was my mate. I knew that they would not approve of him being my mate, So, I just remained silent at this time. Then we had to fight the men that he sent after us. We did beat every last one o
Well, that is too bad because she is my mate. Please let me deal with him, he is the only family that I have left. Go ahead and finish talking to your son. Duke, I know that you have kidnapped the Pure-Blood Alpha’s mate. She doesn’t belong with you. How do you know that I have her? Son, they called me to try to talk you into giving her up. She also left a note on the back of the letter you sent her when you sent her the cookies. She wasn’t supposed to throw the cookies away, they were her favorite. Maybe she sensed something wrong with them, plus whatever you said in the note tipped her off. She is supposed to be with me, I want her as my chosen mate. You can’t have her, she is already mated. I was supposed to find my mate that night too, but I never found mine. Duke, you will find your mate. It just takes time, that is all. No one will take her away from me this time. Son, she is not yours to keep. Oh, I am not going to keep her, she will be my wife. That is going to happen ove
I wasn't doing good with my tricks trying to get Duke to let me go. However, he caught on to my scheme. Well, so much for that working. I know what you’re doing Sophia? It is not going to happen as long as you have your mates mark. Lou’s P.O.V.We have the piece of clothing that the guards came back with. I took one look and stuffed it. Yep, this belongs to the Luna. Slade do you have a scent? Yes, I do have the scent. Good now all we have to do is follow this scent, and should be there in no time. We need to head out at 0800 hours. Once we find the place, then we surround it. Isn’t there one other person that you need to call? Asked my dad. Dad, I have already called Alpha Zach, so he can try to get in touch with Count Dracula.I’m certain that he has, and the count will be here soon. What do you mean soon? I am already here. Where the heck did you come from? I came from Transylvania. I was vacationing there when the former Alpha called me to let me know my son had kidnapped his ex.
What could be of the utmost importance? My dad asked. I don’t know Dad, but Slade says we need to get to her quickly. If that is the case, and it’s time-sensitive, we must do what your wolf has asked. I am just sitting on the bed in the room that Duke has put me in. Wondering if there is any way I can escape. However, he already said that there wasn’t any unless we wanted to fall to our doom. Sonia, what are we going to do? We can’t stay here, especially knowing now that I am carrying the next heir to the pack. Don’t worry, Sophia, our mate will come and rescue us. I know he will, then I can tell him about the pup. “He will be so excited to discover that will be a father.” “Does Slade know?” Yes, he knows and he hasn’t told Lou. Why not? “I asked him to keep it a secret.” That was before we got kidnapped by your ex-vampire boyfriend. No, he needs to know right now. This might be the push he needs to rescue me quicker. Alright, I will find a way to let him know. As if I haven’t prepa
Who the heck kidnapped my daughter? That was that Sophia’s dad, Daniel, had asked me. How am I supposed to know who kidnapped her? All I know is that she was up in our room resting because she wasn’t feeling well. Then Eric and I decided to go and train. Before we knew it, one of the guards came to me and told me that the Luna had been kidnapped. I felt like she was stuck with a needle because I was holding my neck while feeling the pain. Whoever, took her knew what they were doing? Wait, maybe she orchestrated this kidnapping just so we could like her. Seriously, mom, you really think that? Well, look who her father is? I said that I was sorry and regretted ever trying to kidnap you, Bailee. But, I know my daughter, and she is nothing like me. She has been trying everything she can to prove to you that she is a good Luna. You know he is right, honey. If she really did orchestrate this, wouldn’t she have done it sooner? How can you say that, Cameron? Look, babe, all I am trying to
Sophia’s P.O.V. I was in my room resting and reading because I wasn’t feeling well. I was reading one of my romance novels when I looked at the note again. I decided to write on the back of it in case something happened to me. Not only that, but I had no idea that things were about to get worse. One of the maids came to change the sheets. It seemed that the maid was new. Thinking to myself, when did we get a new maid? You did not inform me about hiring a new maid. Is everything to your liking, madam? Her voice was squeaky but deep. Everything is fine, I said to her. May I have your name, please? My name is Lucinda. Well, I'm pleased to meet you, Lucinda. I am Luna Sophia. It is a pleasure to meet you, Luna. I am stretching and rubbing the back of my neck. May I help you with your neck, Luna? It looks as if you’re tense. Yes, can you please just message my neck? Lucinda starts to massage me, and before I know it, there is a needle stuck in my neck full of wolf bane. I only had a cer
Lou’s P.O.V. I was in my office when the guard Matteo mind-linked me to let me know that the same person who dropped off the basket of cookies was there. I said okay, keep the mind link open. I want to know why he is here. Yes, Alpha, so he kept the mind link open.I heard this person asking if we had received the gift. Matteo, tells him we had received it. Oh, good, he says, I hope that they loved my cookies. We didn’t even bother with the cookies. Matteo had told him that Luna had asked him to throw the cookies away after she had read the note.“What?” “Why did she have them thrown away?” He asks. It is unclear to me why she wanted them gone after reading your note, but she did. He was standing there talking to or thinking to himself. It made me curious as to what he was thinking. However, he said goodbye quickly and went on about his way. That was strange Alpha, Matteo said. Yeah, it was, I told him. “Please let me know if he comes back around again.” “Will do Alpha, and the
It is not my fault I was not expecting to find my mate at the Graduation and Mating Ball. Let alone to be mated to the son of the Luna, whom my father tried to kidnap for reasons unbeknownst to me. Duke’s P.O.V. Thank goodness I made it back home before sunrise. I don’t know what I would do if I got caught in the son. I’m hoping that Alpha Lou and Luna Sophia love my cookies. Likewise, I put an extra special ingredient in there just for them alone. Especially, with one of the cookies with Alpha Lou’s name on it. Now all I have to do is sit back and wait. Hopefully, this will make it easier for me to get back to the one I truly love. I just hope that they started eating my cookies already. Tomorrow night, I will show up to see how Luna Sophia is dealing with Alpha Lou being ill. She will need someone to lean on. That someone will be me. “I must go to sleep now, and by nighttime, I will see how my fair lady is doing.” Night had finally come, and I was prepared to go see my love and
