RedI watch silently as realization dawns on my little mate. I noticed the change in her scent few days ago, but it was my mother who told me what it meant. I suspected this, but I wasn’t sure.“Grandchild? You’re pregnant?” Brian quietly asks, gazing at my mate with tears in his eyes. Someone's emotional.“I-”“Yes, we’re having a baby.” I answer confidently when my little Skye can’t find the right words. At my admission Skye turns to me with wide eyes before looking down to her stomach. She’s not showing yet, but for someone with sharper senses, like me and my mother, the change is already noticeable.“Red?” I hear the slight panic in my little mate’s voice, so I immediately carry her away, leaving stunned Brian behind.Heading straight to our favorite bench, carved from a fallen log, I sit down, setting my my on my legs. “Calm, my love.” I try to soothe.“I- I’m pregnant!” She cries out hysterically, shaking in my arms.“I know.” I proudly grin.“Oh goddess! What if it’s my fath-”
SkyeThe journey to my dad’s pack is a long one. At first I couldn’t get used to the vibration of the car, slightly panicking whenever we met a bump on the road. I’ve never been in a car, so everything felt weird to me.It took a few days for dad’s beta to arrange a vehicle for us, and thankfully there’s a road leading to the pack, so he could come right to Alpha’s house. Luna explained to me that during the last 20 years or so, the pack took care of the infrastructure of the pack land, making sure to have good connection with the town outside the woods. Since they’re not cursed anymore and don’t have to stay as wolves for most of the time, they can take care of the pack’s needs without another alpha’s assistance. Apparently, a neighboring alpha, Alpha Leo’s friend, was helping with the necessities, even lending few of his female wolves to help cleaning the pack’s houses. I was surprised when I heard this, but I figured that during the hundred years they were cursed, they had to manag
HunterI wake up to Skye sleepily stirring on top of me. She had no trouble falling asleep, doing so still in my arms while I carried her inside, but during the night she woke up a few times.“Good morning, love.” I greet when those gorgeous chocolate eyes meet mine. Skye groans tiredly and drops her head on my chest. I stroke her hair, massaging her scalp with my fingers soothingly.“Morning… What time is it?” She quietly mumbles.“Almost 11.”“What do we have to do today?”“You can start by getting out of bed.” I whip my head towards the door, where I’m met by my mother and Brian. They’re both staring at us with smiles on their faces and their arms crossed against their chests, leaning against the doorframe. They fist-bump, grinning widely as Skye scrambles off my body and hurriedly tries to tame her wild hair, muttering apologies continuously.“I didn’t hear you come in…” I trail off, confused, as I sit up and move to the edge of the bed, facing the intruders.“The whole house was
Skye“Skye? Are you alright?” I hear Hunter call out from outside the bathroom. I’m about to answer him, but another wave of puke stops me. I dry heave into the toilet bowl due to lack of food in my stomach.“Skye?” Hunter repeats, increasingly worried.“I- I’m fine.” I cough up, panting in exertion as I flush the toilet and walk up to the sink to brush my teeth. I need to get rid of that horrid acid taste in my mouth.“You don’t sound fine, love. Can I come in?”“No. I’ll be right out.”“Okay, I’ll wait here.” I only sigh at this. Hunter’s been really overprotective lately and has barely left me alone, unless it was with his mother. She’s been training me and Pearl, my wolf every day, that’s of course when I felt good enough to train. Lately I’ve been feeling awful, so we had to postpone our training. Morning sickness is a bitch. ‘I know, right? I feel so weak and tired.’ Pearl agrees with me. After she got stronger, mainly due to being mated and trained properly by both our dad and
SkyeAfter hearing Luna Angel’s advice, my dad and Hunter took it upon themselves to imply it in my everyday life. I’ve been eating more meat, taking vitamins and occasionally munching on crackers and almonds, and soon enough the morning sickness lessened a bit. I still don’t feel all that well, but at least I’m not suffering so much.Now I’m with Luna Angel, Hunter and Beta Ruby, overseeing the warriors’ training. After Hunter said they need to know how to fight against Undeads, the warriors eagerly asked for Luna Angel to train them. They seemed excited, which surprised me, but apparently they’ve also heard about Luna’s reputation – the Beast’s reputation.“Aim for the heart! Not the head!” Luna shouts, pointing at a pair of warriors sparring in the middle. She’s really strict when it comes to training. I should know. She was the same with me.“I think we should let them rest for now, they need to get ready for the patrol.” Ruby suggests.“Okay. Once the patrol comes back, tell them
HunterIt’s been two weeks since mom left with Luna Caster to deal with the Undeads’ attacks. But I haven’t had time to worry about her with everything happening here. Skye’s feeling better, but she still needs help during the day, Camilla moved to our pack to be with her mate and that Daryl guy found out that his mate is indeed Camilla's cousin. Also the Moon Howlers pack decided to tell the Werewolf Council about us refusing their deal, of course presenting themselves as victims. Brian, Adam, Kaleb and I have been dealing with the inspectors from the council for 10 days now, and it’s been extremely aggravating.After showing them the contract the Howlers sent, which for some reason differs from the one they showed the inspector in charge, the council announced we had the right to decline the offer. They also decided to punish the Moon Howlers’ Alpha for fraud.“Never in my life have I been so fucking tired.” Brian sighs, plopping down onto the couch in his office. I’ve just put Skye
SkyeWe end up staying in bed for the whole day. I don’t complain, though, it’s nice to have my mate all to myself, without him constantly leaving to take care of something. Because of that stupid inspection he barely slept, never mind having time for me. Had it not been for Beta Ruby, I would probably go crazy.The whole day was peaceful, much to my surprise, but it’s the next morning when shit goes down.As we walk downstairs for breakfast, famished after our yesterday’s activities, we hear the hushed worried voices of the Betas and my dad.“What’s going on?” I demand as soon as we step into the kitchen. Dad only glances at Hunter worriedly then gives me an apologetic look.“Luna Kingston… is gone.” I gasp in shock, taking a step back as tears immediately stream down my cheeks.“What do you mean ‘gone’?” Hunter shakily asks, tightening his hold of my hand.“I just talked to Luna Caster. There was an attack yesterday, but your mother never came back to the pack.” Dad quietly says and
HunterRight after my mother leaves, two warriors enter the house to get the Undead guy out. I’m guessing they saw mom fight against him.“Alpha, what should we do with the body?” They question. I don’t say anything, assuming they’re talking to Brian, but when I catch their imploring looks I realize they’re asking me.“Burn it. Then tell the border patrols to look for others. It’s possible he wasn’t the only one that managed to get onto the territory.” The warriors nod firmly and drag the dead body out.“I’ll call Luna Caster.” Brian informs us before retreating to the office.I catch Skye’s gaze, my heart almost breaking at the sad look on her face. She got really close to my mom, so losing her so suddenly must feel horrible. I know I feel bad about her leaving.“It’s okay, my love. I’ll take care of you. Everything will be fine.” I assure Skye, pulling her gently into my arms, pressing a kiss to her head.“What do I do now? I don’t know how to-”“Shh, it’s okay. Don’t be scared. I’m
Ivy It’s been a week since the battle against Cornelia, but we’re still dealing with its aftermath. Ren has been extremely busy managing the disappearances, having the biggest issue with none other than my ‘father’.I stayed right beside him as he talked to Cade about it.He told the warrior to fake a car accident in which my parents and I supposedly ‘died’. He said that since my ‘father’ was a public figure, his death had to be public, too. I wondered why I was supposed to die, too, but Ren said that it’s the safest way for me to stay with him without being bothered by paparazzi or anything. That way, no one will suspect anything about my immortality and I’ll be able to start my life with him and Wolfie.Cade contacted some man that specializes in special effect make-up for movies or something and said that he could make three mannequins to look
LorenzoAfter I took my sweet queen to our bedroom, we took a long shower together, washing away both the dirt we got on us and the worries that plagued our minds. The hot water helped my mate calm down and made her quite sleepy, which is why I wanted to put her to sleep.But all it got me was a harsh glare. Ivy did not like the idea of taking a nap. At all.It took all my willpower to not gather her in my arms and kissing her senseless at the sight of her adorable scowl. She’s so fucking cute when she’s angry!Since my sweet queen didn’t want to leave me, I’ve decided to take her with me to the clinic to check on the injured. It’s been an hour since they were brought to the infirmary and I’m worried about them.I’ve never seen Lia heal anyone, so who knows if she can save them…With Ivy’s hand in mine, I walk towards the clinic, throwing a furtive glance at The
IvyI stay in Ren’s arms as he hugs me on the roof, just taking in his soothing presence greedily. I had a suspicion that Cornelia could actually be my mother, but seeing it with my own eyes still hurt.Not to mention the Undead that kept a hold on me earlier.It was my dad.But he didn’t even acknowledge me as he held onto me.Neither of them did.Almost as if I was nothing but a speck of dust.On one hand I’m sad that I meant so little to them in the long run, but on the other… it gave me the closure I so desperately needed.Had my parents had any feelings for me, felt any remorse for trying to use me to bring Ren down, I would’ve thought about giving them a chance. But… since they didn’t do any of that, I don’t even feel bad about them dying.They deserved everything that happened to them.“My love, are you alright?” Re
Third Person POVChoose...Between Blake and Ivy.What kind of choice is that?“Come on, darling, don’t leave us hanging.” Cornelia taunts smugly, casually walking back and forth in front of her captives. As she passes by Blake, she gently caresses his face, making him recoil in disgust. “He’s handsome. It’s actually a pity to kill him…” She chuckles when Lia raises her gun again and points it at her.“Don’t you fucking put your hands on him.” The young human warns deadly, keeping her rifle pointed straight at the witch’s head.“Territorial, are we?”“Touch him again and you’ll see for yourself.”“Lia, calm down. It’s not just about Blake…” Lorenzo tries to pacify the young witch, absolutely terrified for his mate’s safety. One wrong move and his queen will die. Yet
Third Person POVThe King’s allies are waiting anxiously for their enemies to arrive. Aiden, Asher and their group of fifty warriors are in the back of the Alpha’s house, while Ivy, the Kingstons, the Deads and the remaining twenty warriors are in the front, right where an army of almost two hundred men is heading.The alliance has no idea what force they’re about to face, but they’re not worried. With four Undeads on their side, one of them being a hybrid, two snipers on the roof, one of them being a white witch that has acquired powers of her ancestor, and an immortal queen, they feel more powerful than a bunch of rogues and humans that are heading their way.Lia’s reveal about her identity has brought nothing but assurance for the wolves sent to aid the King in the war. They felt that the young girl was not an average human, but it was only after she informed them about her witch ancestry did they u
Third Person POV The war has officially begun when a rogue wolf attacked the house where the King and other alphas have been staying at. He stormed inside, intending to get to Lorenzo’s mate, but his ambush was quickly stopped when Thea got in his way.The Undead Luna immediately stopped the wolf and easily killed him, not even caring about getting any information from him.“Who the fuck was that?!” Lorenzo questions suspiciously, holding onto his mate in pure despair, shielding her from the scene in front of them.“A rogue. I heard him run here…” Thea snarls furiously, panting in anger as she stands over the dead body of the assailant.“Fuck!” The king yells, his voice mixing with his wolf’s as his blood boils in fury.“What’s going on?” The group is quickly joined by the human couple, both frantic with worry. Lia glances around the room
IvyThea’s sons are here? Really?And she’s not even worried?They are her kids!“Really? Those idiots.” Leo grumbles, turning off the stove before he marches to the front door.“Leo!” “Dad!” Thea and Hunter call out after him, following him outside. Ren doesn’t even hesitate and swiftly picks me up then leads me to the front porch, keeping my hand in his as we watch Leo berate his sons.“Are you out of your minds? Coming here when a war is coming? You don’t even have a proper training! How are you going to fight, huh?” Leo scolds his three sons, pacing anxiously in front them as they stand in one line with their heads down.“Dad… we just want to help.” One of them mutters quietly.“Help?! Liam! This is a full blown-out war, not some sparring session with the warriors!”“Leo, stop it
LorenzoAfter Lia revealed her powers and told us about her encounter with Thalia, she went to take a nap, saying that after spending decades with the ‘annoying witch’ she’s even more tired than earlier. As always, Blake joined her, so the only people left in the living room are the Kingstons, Ivy and me.I keep my little mate on my lap as she talks to Skye, playing with her long silky hair distractedly as I digest what Lia revealed.Cornelia is coming. She can control the water element. She has an army of Undeads that she most likely created with Ulrich’s blood. Ivy’s parents are not her parents. It’s quite likely that Cornelia is also Ivy’s mother, which makes all of this even more complicated. I don’t know how close my little queen is with her mother and how will she take her death.Because I don’t plan on sparing the witch. She’s going to die no matter what. I’m only wo
IvyHoly crap! Lia is literally the most mysterious person I’ve ever met! Just when I thought nothing could surprise me, something comes up.“Wait… if that Xan…, whatever her name is, was Thalia’s ancestor… then isn’t she also your ancestor?” I wonder out loud, getting a quiet sigh from Lia.“Yeah. – she breathes out – But that doesn’t mean I’m going to follow their plan to kill Lorenzo. I mean…Thalia said in my dream that it’s supposed to be my duty or whatever, but I think holding grudges for ten generations is just petty. Like, okay, I get being mad, but not for this long. Lorenzo may have killed Xanthe, but his action was justified in my opinion. Xanthe cursed his father with a beast and immortal life then split his soul into two. She deserved what she got, so telling her descendants, specifically those who share the
