LivieOver the next few days, Hunter and Kaiden had stayed to sleep in our pack, making me smile as I would wake up each day and see all the boys together, enjoying their company and eating breakfast together. Despite their responsibilities and all the pressure they have to live by, they are all still big goofballs. I love seeing their interactions and how they mess around with one another, pranking each other and being so silly. Deep down, they are like any other young adult, still experiencing, still learning, but with loads of responsibility on their shoulders.They would goof around during practice, putting traps so one of them would fall and laugh hard when the trap was followed through with perfection. Needless to say, the ones that fell for most traps were Kaiden and Hunter. I laughed so hard, my cheeks hurt. Skylar was changing. He was no longer the stuck-up, immature asshole that once rejected me. I was happy to see how he was growing, maturing, and finally being a man. He
LivieI walked toward the library, wanting to return a few books I had just finished reading. I couldn't help but smile as I walked inside and saw my brother sitting down reading a book. He was so entranced that he didn't realize I stood next to him, admiring his complexion. He still puckered his lips and furrowed his eyebrows like he used to as a kid when he was focused on what he was doing. I chuckled, making him turn toward me. "Hey, sis. When did you get here? I didn't hear you walk in." he asks, making me roll my eyes as I smile foolishly. I kissed his cheek and sat next to him. "Just now. What are you reading?" I asked, making him clear his throat as he looked at the back of the book and showed me the cover. "Uh, Pound The Stone, by," "Joshua Medclaff," I said, feeling proud. "Good choice," I added, making him chuckle. "So you've read it?" "I have. A few times. And if you ask me, you resonate quite more than I do to Jason." I said, making him laugh as I compared him with the p
Livie(A few days Later)"Be careful. Hold her head carefully. Oh...oh, Ricky!" I whispered as I gave my sleeping little princess, Brielle back to Ricky. I had just finished breastfeeding her, and she had fallen fast asleep. Out of all three of my pups, she was the tiniest one, but she was so strong. All three were picking up their heads and moving so much just hours after birth. They keep surprising me with how fast and strong they're growing and it's only been a few days.We decided on the name, Alexander, which means Defender of Men for our first little man. Xavier, The Saviour for our other little man; and last but equally important, Brielle, Our Strength and Heroien for our little princess. "I got her. I got her." Ricky whispers, taking her in his arms with such care. He had been away for two days, and just three days after I gave birth, he had to leave, making me feel uneasy. I've missed him so much. It was as if the three could feel his absence, becoming uneasy and crying so
"I don't care that you're my mate. I will never... and I repeat, I will never be yours, Hunter." she grits her teeth, making Hunter smirk."Is that a challenge? We'll just have to see about that, sweetheart," he says, fighting his wolf for dominance as he feels the sparks surge through his body caused by the light touch of her skin on his. The mating bond call was itching at his skin. "You'll be mine sooner or later, and when that happens, you'll be moaning my name out with those sweet juicy lips of yours," he says, running his lips over hers in a feather-like motion. He had to have her, he needed to have her, but before he could claim her, he first had to win her heart.Hunter Black is used to having any woman he wants at his disposal. Being the alpha of his pack has its perks after all. He can have any girl he wants at any time of day. At least... that's what she's heard.Abigail Montero was used to being the reject. She was rejected by her family, her pack, and her friends. After
AbbieI couldn't help but cry as we continued to drive. I wiped my tears as my Wolf, Merida continued to howl of sadness. There was nothing either one of us could do, but cry. I had never felt so alone, so unwanted. My pack didn't want me, my father didn't want me. No one... no one cared, "Nobody is coming to save us, Merida. We're done for." I mind-linked my Wolf, making her howl louder. I could feel her sadness, just like she could feel mine."ENOUGH ALREADY!" the taller man yells, as the car comes to a sudden halt. The driver turns, striking me on my cheek and making me go unconscious. I wasn't sure how long it had been, by the time I regained consciousness, the sun was beginning to set. I heard growling, snarls, and sounds of snapping bones. The car had been overturned, making me realize we had crashed with another vehicle. Since I had been unconscious, my body had hit the roof of the car, making my back feel sore.My eyes went wide, making me stand abruptly and causing me to hit
Abbie"I don't know. She looks pretty bad. Poor girl. We need to check her temperature, see if it's gone down." I heard a faint voice as I came in and out of consciousness. My vision was blurry and my body felt like it had been hit with a tone of bricks. I groaned trying to move, but every movement just made me hurt more."Is she going to die, Mommy?" a tiny voice says. "No, baby. Not if we can help her." "I swear Elora, we should stop picking up random strangers and help them. You never know what can happen. What if she's a murderer or something?" another woman's voice says. "Oh, quiet. This poor girl needs our help. Look where you found her. Out in the middle of the forest. If we left her out there, she could have been eaten by a bear or frozen to death, or... something, what if she's lost?" the same lady says, making me internally glad they helped. I groaned again, moving slightly as I fluttered my eyes open."She is waking up. Shh, shh, shh." I heard the other woman say. "Dear,
Third Person POV"Oh my... Now look at this... just my lucky day. This is too easy." one rogue says as he grins evilly, his paws prey precautiously her way. "Who cares. Just hurry up. I'm tired of following this beat around. Pick her up and get her on your back before she wakes up. We need to get back and take her to the boss.""Come on, man. We still have time. Let me play with her a little." an evil smirk grows on his face, making the other rogue growl from annoyance."Dont you get it? This is Montero's kid. The boss specifically said that we are to keep our hands off her. If he finds you do things to her, he will have our heads." "And who's gonna tell him? You?" the rogue chuckles, preying closer to Abbie's unconscious body. "Im not going to get killed over a stupid girl. I know it makes no sense, but boss told you to bring her back safe. You think he won't notice you tainted her? Come on, boss is not that stupid." he warns him, getting in front of the other rogue."Get OUT of my
Abbie (Six years later) I wish I could say my life has been easy over the last few years, but it hasn't. I did find an amazing pack... or... more like they found me. I found a family who was willing to take me in, and over the years we became very close. At first, their daughters and I did not get along. At least the oldest, Felicity and I didn't. She hated me and thought I was trying to steal her family, but after a few years, we became really close, and she is the big sister I always wish I had. Life in high school was hell. We had no choice but to attend a human school because we didn't have enough people in our pack to start our own school. I fit in like a lemon on a basket of apples, whether with humans or the rest of the pack. If it wasn't for our new alpha, Luke, they would have probably kicked my butt daily. Luke and my big sister Felicity are mates, and since she is the new Luna, she looks out for me a lot. She is two years older, just like our alpha Luke. When I finally
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
