AbbieI am a woman on a mission right now. "First, I need to find Hunter and apologize to him. Tell him everything that's been happening." I sigh, letting out my breath ever so slowly. Lily smiles, clearing her throat, "That won't be too hard. My brother adores you." She says, making my stomach flutter.'Second, beg him to introduce me to the rogue king IF he really is here. Thank the rogue king for saving my life, and three... try not to lose control as the mating heat gets more vital inside of me.' I think to myself, making Merida chuckle. "And make sure Hunter doesn't get the wrong idea about why you're asking for the rogue king!" she says, making me groan inwardly. I am feeling too jittery as this damn mating heat tries to take over my body. Luckily, I've learned to mask my scent, so even if I'm aroused... which I am, the unmated werewolves will not be able to tell... much! I hope!I can feel everyone looking at us as we enter the room. Instantly, I think Hunter's eyes are on me.
Abbie’s POVHunter ignored every bystander as he walked all proud. I felt awkward as they looked at us weirdly. I mean, with him carrying me over his shoulder as if I was a damn potato sack, why wouldn't they look at us like we're a pair of lunatics, right? I had to rest my hands on his hips and back to hold my head up as I felt the blood rush to my head. I gave them awkward smiles as they snickered, smiling at us. "Yes. I know. Your alpha is a weirdo. Don't mind us. We're just... uh, we're just taking a walk." I said, gesturing to them, making some girls giggle as they murmured. "Get her, alpha!" one girl cheered him on, making him walk like a proud maniac."Yeah, mark our Luna, alpha." "Finally!" other girls yelled, making me grunt inwardly. "You guys are... horrible. Why are you cheering this big crazy lug?" I said, making them giggle."Nonsense, my love. They know what we're doing. Right girls? Yes, people. I'm marking our new Luna. Now get... enjoy the party. It's a damn potlu
Abbie's POVI made love to Abbie several times before we finally got too tired and sore. I think my dick is going to fall off. It's barely healing when it gets hard again, making me want nothing else but to claim her again. I'm a man on a mission right now. I said I'd get her pregnant on our first night together, and by all means, I am making Abigail Montero... no, Abigail Black! Pregnant... Tonight! I swear that after tonight, Abbie WILL be caring for my pup. But- after our fourth round, and three hours later, as much as I wanted to stay in bed with Abbie while I kissed her tenderly, there was a party downstairs, and we had to attend. It would be impolite for us to host the party and not attend. But would it? Man, I want to stay here and hold her. She's finally mine. Mine, man, my cardigan girl is mine! "Just shut up and get up asshole. We need to attend. I made you mark her, and now I can talk to my sweet Merida. Now get! Go and mingle with the boys. We need to keep an eye on that
AbbieI looked at Hunter with my eyes wide in shock. Did I hear him right? Bella's mate, Brandon, is THE Rogue King? I have been searching for him and asked far and wide if anyone knew him, and no one ever knew who he was! I mean, as far as I could go, of course. Sadly, I was around humans most of the time and rarely talked to other werewolves besides those in my pack, but STILL! Brandon Watson is The Rogue King! I think I'm going to cry. I am trying to hold back tears and not cry. "Oh my goddess, Merida! It's him, it's really him!" I say, looking at Hunter with my mouth agape. Merida jumps up and down excitedly, making me feel happy."Close your mouth, baby. You might swallow a fly if you don't," Hunter says, kissing the tip of my nose. I blink a few times, looking at him, feeling dumbfounded and making me chuckle.I turn my body to look at him closer, cupping his face and making him look at me. His mouth was squished between my hands, making his lips look more plump. "Uhm, Abs?"
Abbie's POVHunter kissed me, pulling me by my waist and making me straddle him. The big gown was getting in our way, so he pushed it off from both sides by the skirt, making both of my legs become exposed so I could straddle him. Don't worry, though; we are completely alone and have no one to bother us or eavesdrop on us.I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately. "I should have looked for you more, Abbie. But every time I came close to finding you, it was as if you were running from me. Our little game of cat and mouse chase without us ever being aware." he whispered, holding me by my ribs and nudging his nose softly against mine, making me smile."You know, the first time I found a clue about where you were... you were working at a tiny cafe, Clarissa's, I think?" he says, making my eyes wide in shock. " You only worked three weeks there, then, puff... vanished. You gave me no chance to ever talk to you; by the time I got there, they said you had qui
Abbie's POVI was all smiles as the party continued, talking to old classmates and catching up with everyone. But I couldn't help but realize that Hunter kept a close eye on me.Why was he suddenly all worried? I finally realized when he placed his hand tightly around my waist. He cleared his throat, and I could see from the corner of my eye that he was mind-linking someone as his eyes went dark. I could hear the low growl from the back of his throat. His jaw was tight, and I could feel the tension in his body, making me tilt my head in concern.I noticed he was looking toward the entrance, making me look towards it as well.My eyes went wide; I felt my heart speed up and my blood run cold as I saw my father, Armand, strolling through the door. My stepmother was no longer by his side. There was another woman next to him, short in stature compared to him. He no longer looked like the menace he once portrayed. He looked rather sickly. His body was no longer a tower of muscles but frail
Abbie's POV"Come on, let's dance a little. Maybe it'll help get your mind at ease." Hunter proposed, making me grunt in protest. I see what he's doing. I'm not a dummy. He chuckles, kissing my lips and cupping my cheeks as he judges my nose against his. "Please, baby? Go and have some fun with me." he pleads, giving me his puppy eyes as he pouts. I roll my eyes but chuckle, seeing how cute he's being. He's trying to keep me busy, so I budge, forgetting all about this for now, and I don't ask him any further questions. Slick devil, isn't he? But what can I do? He really is a charming devil. "He better have good answers for me later, Merida. Or he's sleeping on the couch tonight." I say, making Merida chuckle. "Abbie, I hate to tell you, but you know damn well he's not. You're going to be wrapped up under those sheets and banging that sexy god all night. I know you're damn well nowhere near done with that hunk." she says, making me want to burst out in laughter. I grabbed his hand a
Hunter's POVI talked with Brandon as we went out for fresh air. I told him what Abbie had explained to me. To my surprise, he remembers that day vividly. It was one of his first encounters with those rogues, and he remembered how he and Wesley had ripped them apart. He promised to meet with Abbie for a quiet breakfast tomorrow morning. And to make things better, Wesley will be joining us, too. - don't tell Ricky. He's still not fond of the guy. And why would he? Wesley was a menace in his younger years, and he let his mate, Hope, control him. He killed so many innocent men to quench her insatiable desire to monopolize the southern regions. I'm glad he saw how wrong he was. He was one of the main guys who helped bring peace to our lands. I still can't believe what Brandon told me, though. I actually side with Ricky, hating the guy. But I guess Livie was correct; there's still some good in Wesley.After I left Brandon, I was called to someone else table and decided to go chat with th
Abbie's POV (five years later)I walked with Hunter by my side, slowly making my way toward the stairs. Hunter held our son Mateo's hand. Anthony walked next to Mateo, holding his other hand as they smiled from ear to ear. Today was my baby girl Autumn's first birthday, and as the heir to Elena's throne after me, our pack, Elora, and Elena's kingdom would give her a grand party. We had an enormous celebration the year Mateo was born, as he was next in line for Elora's pack as the first male alpha. As for Anthony- we officially adopted him the same year Mateo was born. Though many were against the idea, being he's not blood-related to Hunter, he is still related to me, and going against the next queen was futile, so, after a small debate, all the elders in our pack decided on allowing him to take over as the next alpha of the Blood Moon Pack of the North. He has three more years to go before he takes over, so Hunter has been training him daily. Sadly, he's not the tiny boy we once
Abbie's POV It's been two months since we defeated Matisa—two months too long since we've been looking for the real Analise. Today, we finally found her.It wasn't easy finding her and bringing her home would certainly not be easy. Where we found her, she had made a whole new life. She was married and had two kids, one born and one growing inside her. We stood at the top of the hill, looking down at a strawberry field. Analise strolled through the field looking beautifully, with long blonde hair and a beautiful yellow sundress, the fabric tinted with tiny white daisies on the fabric, giving it that sweet spring feel. She happily picked strawberries and placed them into a basket, playing with a little girl who picked up a strawberry and bit it, making Analise chuckle. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. But my heart also ached for the elderly lady standing beside me. Hunter stood on my other side, his hand wrapped around Anthony's shoulders, who was happy we found his aunt."How di
(One month later)Abbie's POVAs the days went by, things began to return to normal slowly. I finished my classes and received my certificate credentials to become a certified teacher. There was also a great debate between Elena, my mom, Elora, and me over taking over the kingdom. Elora wanted me to take over her pack, Elens wanted me to take over the crown, and I- wanted to stay in my pack. So, we came up with a plan. Elora needed a replacement. So, if I ever had a daughter, we would train her to become the next alpha. But if I gave birth to a boy, she'd have to give him the pack when he's ready to take over as alpha. Which- she agreed. As for the throne, Elena has been the queen for hundreds of years, and a few more years won't hurt. So, she agreed that when Anthony is old enough to take over as Alpha of Hinter's pack, I will take the crown and serve my kingdom along Hunter's side. For now, I will stay here- in my pack, where I belong. The Blood Moon Pack of the North has alway
Abbie's POV "Sweetheart... it's okay. It's okay. You did really good today, Abbie. I know this is hard, but this is the way things had to end. There was no other way. She would have continued to kill innocent girls if we hadn't ended things this way. I'm so proud of you," Elora says as she kneels beside me, resting her hand on my shoulder. I sniffled, shutting my eyes, and leaned into Hunter's chest. My hot tears continued to roll down uncontrollably. I felt Hunter's warm thumbs gently wipe my tears. He kissed my head and rested his chin where he had left his kiss. Despite the sorrowful agony inside, his embrace made me feel a little comfort as our spark ignited inside me. "I know. I just... I can't help but feel so guilty. I know Matisa was a sadistic, evil witch. She deserved what was coming to her. But I truly wished none of these witches had followed her blindly. So many of them died for her sake. And then there's Analise. I wish she were alive. We could have been good friends
Hunter's POVThe battle was getting out of hand. Time and time again, we were being attacked by warlocks who would shapeshift into different creatures. They were stronger than I had anticipated, but I managed to tell the difference between Warlock and Santiago. Just as I thought we were done for, Santiago shifted back to a minotaur again, charging toward me. "Hunter, watch out!" Alarick yells, holding his hand out. "Not today, asshole!" I hear Axel suddenly come into view. He charges behind the minotaur, jumping into the air, grabbing the monster by the horns, and pulling him down. I shift onto Titus and launch toward them, snapping my snout; I grip the minotaur's neck and bite down hard. I could feel the canines pierce its skin, giving it a guttering growl. Axel finishes him off, hitting him on the back of his neck, making me snap the whole head off of him. The head falls to the ground, making it roll away. "That's what you get for laying your filthy hands on my son, asshole!" I
Abbie's POVMatisa looked my way menacingly and fisted her hands. "You just don't know when to give up, do you? Don't say I didn't warn you to stay away, you stupid bitch. I'll make you pay for coming here and trying to sabotage my plans. That throne should have been mine. Our grandmother was stupid to have married that mutt. But rest assured, the throne will be mine, and not you or anyone will stand in my way!" Matisa says as she looks at me with rage. The aura exuding from her hands intensifies, and she smirks at me as if she had already triumphed over me. I can hear something slowly crawl behind me and see the vines creeping up behind me. She was using her herbal spell, making a vine creep up behind me in an attempt to strangle me, but unfortunately for her. I had a counterspell to get rid of her vine. She yells, and the vine quickly dashes toward me, but I move, lifting my hand toward one of her top witches. Using telekinesis, I pull the witch toward me, causing the vine to pi
Abbie's POV"We're close. I see it. They're right ahead!" Kaiden yells through our mind link as we continue to run. I looked up, and I could see the war unfolding. But my eyes widen as I hear Elora yelling, and a giant bird-like creature flies high up, holding Anthony in his claws, making my eyes widen in horror. "Hunter!" I yell, making him look up. I shift onto Merida, and Titus comes out, running at full speed. "Hurry, when I strike, you need to catch him, ok?" Titus says as my nerves go wild. Merida nods and runs at full speed. I see Matisa. She's strangled Elora with one hand using her magic, and she's holding Elena in the other hand. Elena's aura is weak; I can see it, which means she was probably poisoned. But my main concern is Anthony right now. I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Auntie. "Don't worry, you go get Anthony. I will take care of this bitch." Emily says as she shifts onto her white wolf. My eyes widen as I see her. "She... she looks just like me. I thought... I was
Elora's POVWe ran through the dense forest until we finally reached where Matisa and her clan hid. I have gathered that Matisa came to a neighboring Pack near Hunter's pack just a few months after Abbie disappeared.She disguised herself as the Luna of their pack after she killed the real Luna. That's when all the kidnappings began to rise in numbers again. She didn't find an end to her insatiable desire to eat souls. And given her hatred toward our kind, she relished the thought of eating their souls. It was like killing two birds with one stone. She was filling her darkness and killing our kind as well. Santiago played a great part in all this. She had made a pact with different alphas for years, promising them power and sleeping with them. They fell deeply into her trap, and she ensured they were cast under her love spell. Whatever she commanded of them- they did. And that included kidnapping girls from all over. But when most of the alphas were taken down, thanks to Hunter an
AbbieI know we were on a tight, very tight schedule here. But I had to stop and tell Hunter the truth. The real plan that Elora, Elena, and I had worked out. He was pretty mad at first. We had acted so well that he and everyone believed it, too. But now that he knew, it all made sense to him. “If you ever keep me from something like this, I’ll make sure to punish you for it, Abigail. Which means after this, you’ll be punished, you understand? Punished!” he says as we walk out of the storage, all geared up with weapons and armed to the brink. “I know. Again, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to keep you out; it was Elora’s idea for us to sell it,” I said, making him angrier. He throws his belt filled with extra bullets in the back of the SUV with a loud thud, making me look at him with regret. “Elora? Elora? I'm your husband, Abbie! I mean… I will be… am… whatever! Just…don't keep things like this from me, ok? I love you, Abbie. I don't want to see you and my family hurt.” he says, wrapping
