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
SkyeIt’s begun?Babies are coming?!Suddenly I feel unbearable pain in my body, coming from my lower stomach.“Hunter!” I cry out before everything goes black.I’m woken up by feeling heavenly tingles all over my face. I don’t even have to think about who’s touching me, since it’s clear that it’s none other than my mate.My mate!The babies!I shoot up from the bed before falling back down when a wave of pain spreads through my body.“Skye! Goddess don’t do that, you’re still not healed yet.” Hunter worriedly frowns, helping me sit up slowly.“The babies! What about the babies?!” I panic, clutching desperately onto his arm.“They’re both fine. With two sets of healthy lungs if their screams are anything to go by.”“Where are they?”“They’re with your dad and Ruby.”“Are they…” I trail off, not knowing how to ask whether my kids are werewolves or hybrids.“Both. Our prince is a hybrid and our little princess is a werewolf.”I only grin, trying to ignore the pain in my stomach. Hunter
HunterMy little prince keeps nibbling on my finger as Skye feeds Stephanie, making me smile. Someone’s hungry. After few moments he seems to get bored with just biting, instinctively pushing out his little fangs and sinking them in my hand, sucking my blood greedily. Mom told me everything about small hybrids and their craving for blood. Unlike werewolf babies, hybrids – and probably Undeads but that’s unknown – already have their fangs when they’re born. They stay hidden until the baby’s thirsty. My mother also said it’s better to feed Adrian my blood first so he doesn’t hurt Skye. She laughed how I always bit too hard on her when I was feeding. Now that I think about it, I don’t know whether to cringe or laugh when I think about biting my mom’s breasts. I’d much rather bite Skye's.“Stephanie just finished. Want to burp her while I feed Adrian?” Skye pulls me back from my thoughts.“In a moment, he’s still not done.” I chuckle, feeling Adrian sucking on my pinky, like it's a bottl
Third Person POVCade watches as the two humans study the book in Lia’s hands, occasionally checking on Alex as he lies on the bed next to his. It’s been over two hours since he started giving Alex his blood, along with two other guards, but there’s still no improvement.If anything, it seems to have gotten worse.“Why don’t we go get something to eat? It doesn’t look like anything’s happening…” Blake suggests after a while.“Can you bring me something? I’d rather stay here to watch over him.” Lia glances at her man over her shoulder, getting a smile from him before he kisses her softly and carefully gets off the bed.Once Blake is gone from the clinic, Cade turns to the human girl. “I don’t think your treatment helped. – he tells her seriously, disconnecting the tube from his arm – He’s starting to stink.”“Sti
Ivy ‘Stay in the house, my love. We’re coming back.’ I hear Ren’s frantic voice in my head and I immediately go rigid.“Ren is coming back. I think something’s wrong.” I tell my friends, panicking slightly.Before Lia or Blake can even say anything, Cade and Vince storm inside and take a protective stance in front of us, shielding us from the door and window.“What’s going on?” Lia questions suspiciously.“They found Alex. – Leo says as he gets up from his seat and goes to the front door – They’re bringing him in.”Alex?! They found him? I’m on pins and needles as I wait for my Ren and Thea to come back, nearly bursting in anticipation. I catch Hunter and Leo walk outside, but I’m stopped from following them by none other than Skye.“Trust me, it’s better if you
Onyx Lorenzo kept me away for way too long. Technically, Ivy is already ours, but I still wanted to claim her myself, which is why I couldn’t let my chance pass when it finally came.I was afraid that I would be too rough with our mate, but she seemed as eager as me, reciprocating my passion with equal fervor.Though I still wore her out. After taking my woman over and over again, she fell asleep from exhaustion with a satisfied smile on her face. Had it not been for her having our abilities I would’ve been worried about hurting her, but I know she’s already healed and she won’t be even sore once she wakes up.I hope she wakes up soon, I can’t wait to see her gorgeous chocolate eyes and sweet smile. It’s been so long since I was alone with my queen and I want to cherish every moment I get.Keeping my queen in my arms, I trail my nose over her slender neck, peppering feathery kisses
IvyThe house that supposedly belongs to Jake is nothing like I expected. I don’t know why, but I honestly thought he lived in a dark, scary castle with dead trees around it, not a beautiful mansion with a gorgeous, although neglected, garden. This is really shocking.I keep a tight hold on Ren’s hand as he leads towards the house, trying my best to not cringe when the men guarding the front door bow in greeting. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this. Whenever Ren and I meet some wolves, they immediately bow down to us. It makes me really uncomfortable and embarrassed.Ren and I wait for the others to join us then go inside the house, heading straight to Jake’s office for whatever reason. I’m not sure what we’re looking for, but I trust Ren’s judgment.Once we’re inside, my man immediately gestures at everyone to take their seats at the long table, not even minding the
LorenzoI notice my little queen rub her forehead tiredly as she thinks about everything that was revealed over the last few hours.“Tired, my love?” I ask her worriedly, getting a quiet sigh in response as Ivy leans her head against my chest.“Not really… It’s just so overwhelming. So much is happening and we still don’t have any answers.” She murmurs quietly and I rub her back comfortingly.“How long till we land?” Thea asks curiously.I check my watch quickly. “Almost two hours.”“Do you have any transport arranged to get us from the airport? I’m guessing we’re not running all the way to the pack.”“I do. I already talked to Cade. He’ll get some men to pick us all up from Hotchkiss. I have my private airport there.”“You have private airports all over the country, so I’m not
IvyI don’t know when I fell asleep, but when I wake up I’m still in Ren’s arms on the comfortable bed on the plane. I snuggle closer to him, taking in his comforting scent. After hearing what Lia found out, I can’t help but be anxious.My mom is most likely the witch that wants to kill Ren. Then who’s my dad? If he was on it too then surely he must know about my mother’s real identity.No wonder they were pushing me to marry Jake. They were planning on getting me marked by him just so Ren would be weak.Where do I go from this?How do I get over the fact that the people I thought to be my parents were just keeping me for the sake of hurting the man I came to love?“What are you thinking, my love?” Ren asks quietly, stroking my hair in a soothing manner.“Who am I, Ren? Everything I’ve known was a lie, a conspiracy to kill you…” I w
LorenzoIvy stays snuggled into me as she talks with Skye. I’m so glad she found a new friend that she can connect to. Since the girls are quite close in age, they might be able to spend many years together, centuries even.I saw Beast, sorry, Thea give Lia some book before the young human left to read it in peace in one of the bedrooms. It’s been a few hours since she left and I can tell that Blake is on the verge of blowing up. The longer he spends without his girl, the more agitated he is. Their connection is as admirable as it is weird.I feel my body tense up when I hear Lia crying in the bedroom before she rushes back to the rest of us, with her face stricken with tears and her body shaking terribly.Blake is the first to react. He shoots up from his seat and pulls his girl into his arms, letting her cry into his chest as he holds her.“I know everything! Everything!” Lia cries o
Lia The moment we entered the plane, Thea asked to speak to me privately. Judging by her tone, it must be serious, so I didn’t say anything and simply joined her by the window.“I brought something for you. Well, Aiden did, but I was the one that asked him to get if for me. – She gets a small old-looking book from her backpack and lays it on the table between the seats – I believe this belonged to Thalia, but I can’t read it. I thought that maybe you, as a witch, can see what’s inside.”“What do you mean you can’t read it?” Blake questions quietly.“It’s not that I’m incapable of reading things, I'm not illiterate. I mean that I can’t read it because all I see are blank pages. It’s almost as if something is protecting the contents from being seen.”“And you think I will be able to see it? I don’t know anything
IvyRen doesn’t even try to argue with me when I tell him I’m coming with him. It’s either because he knows it’s no use, or because he doesn’t want to leave me alone.“When do we leave?” I ask him quietly, nuzzling my cheek against his as I lean over him from behind. Usually it’s me being coddled, so it’s a nice change to be the hugger this time. I’m kneeling behind Ren’s back, with my arms wrapped around his neck as I snuggle into him.“As soon as possible. It’s going to take over twelve hours to get there, so the sooner we go, the better. Why don’t you pack your bag while I arrange the plane, hmm?” Ren suggests, taking my hand from his neck and placing a small kiss on the back of it.“Okay. And don’t stress too much, everything’s going to be okay.” I kiss his ear, feeling an inexplicable urge to reassure him.
