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
SkyeI watch with wide eyes as the guys fight mercilessly, exchanging countless hits one after another.This is exactly why I was against this whole idea. It’s so… brutal.“Do you want to go rest?” Hunter quietly asks when I wince again.“No, I’ll watch it till the end. I’m supposed to be the Luna of this pack, I should know how to handle stuff like this.” I reply, just as quietly.Once dad announces the winner, stopping the guys from hurting each other more, the fighting boys go back to their place with the other recruits. It looks like dad intends to accept them all into the pack, considering the satisfied look on his face. I heard that the new members actually came from a small pack that was destroyed by a rogue attack. After the attack, the ranked wolves that remained alive decided to ask for other packs' help, requesting for them to accept the survivors. Dad didn't even hesitate before accepting the desperate plead, making me proud. He's such a considerate Alpha, not at all like
Skye“Mom!” Hunter exclaims happily and I whip my head to him so fast I almost get dizzy. Mom? “Shh, he just fell asleep.” I gasp when I recognize Luna Angel’s voice.“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to snap like that…” I immediately apologize, but Luna only waves me off before laying Adrian back in the crib.“Don’t worry about it. I would react the same way if some stranger had my baby in their arms.” She chuckles as we leave the room. Now that I know it’s Luna Angel with my kids, I don’t feel as nervous.“Yeah, about that, I barely recognized you! What’s going on with your hair? And… your scent?” Hunter questions, not even hiding the confusion from his voice.“Oh, right, I didn’t have time to warn you. I had to hide my identity before coming here. There’s a fight between two packs by the border and I had to go around it, but you know about Alpha Nolan’s fixation with Undeads… If he got a whiff that I’m around, I’d never make it here without hurting a few wolves. Thank goddess Violet ha
HunterSkye is playing with the babies on the couch, while I’m working at my desk. When the construction team came to repair the wall my mom broke when she fought against that Undead guy, I told them to adjust the office to fit a small playroom for the kids there. Brian was surprised, but I only waved it off, saying I want to be close to my babies as often as possible, since the earliest years are the most important for establishing a bond between them and me. Skye didn’t say anything, but glared at Brian for questioning me. I almost laughed at her angry scowl. She looks like an angry puppy when she’s mad.“I think Adrian’s hungry again.” Skye speaks out, pulling me from the papers in front of me. “He keeps nipping at my fingers.” I chuckle at the cute confused look on her face as she walks towards me. I’m already expecting Adrian to start crying the farther he gets from his sister, but he’s calm for once, only staring at me sleepily with his silver eyes. While Adrian inherited the si
SkyeRuby and I take the babies to sleep in the nursery, chuckling softly when Adrian immediately secures his sister in his embrace. Since Ruby agreed to babysit them whenever I need, I leave her with them and walk out, intending to find out what’s going on with those guests Adam mentioned.As soon as I walk out the front door, I’m met by an older couple, looking to be about their 50s or something. They stare at Hunter and Adam nervously, but I still catch the woman’s sneaky glances around the area. She seems to be inspecting the house and I don’t like it.I walk up behind my mate and stand at his side, grasping onto his hand and using him as my shield as I stand slightly behind him. I don’t like the feel I get from those two in front of us. There’s something off about them.“We’re asking for refuge, Alpha. There’s someone after us and they’ve been following us for hundreds of miles now. We barely managed to cross the border and come here. Please, help us!” The man pleads. I frown at
LorenzoMy heart feels like it’ll beat its way out of my chest as I drive back to Berkeley. It’s been fucking weeks since I was last here and I can’t believe I’d ever say this, but I miss this place. I think it’s because my mate is there.I can’t wait to see her.I’ve been trying to find out why those rogues and humans had the Alpha King’s emblem on them, but my effort was fruitless. Almost every human had their tongue cut off and the wolves didn’t know who was behind the attacks. This is getting really messy.Just as I enter the city, there’s an unsettling feeling in my chest, a heaviness that restricts my lungs to the point of being painful. And I have this uneasy feeling it’s connected to my mate.There’s something wrong with Ivy.I speed through the streets of Berkeley, heading straight to Ivy’s apartment complex, cursing at every slow driver that stops me from reaching my destination. It would be so much faster to just run, but how can I do this in the city filled with people?! I

IvyThere’s only one thing I didn’t want to happen on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It’s the one thing I’ve been dreading happening ever since I moved here.So, of course – it happens right when I don’t want it to happen.Dad calling… I take a deep breath to calm my racing heartbeat then pick up the phone. “Hi dad…” I quietly greet him, sitting on the couch with my pajama clad legs against my chest. I noticed that whenever I talk to my parents, I always curl up on myself to get some… sense of security. Why do I need to feel secure while talking to my own parents? I don’t know.“What took you so long to pick up the phone, Yvette? Are you with someone? Is it a boy?!” Dad demands harshly, making me flinch at the loudness of his voice.“N-No… I was just studying…” I stammer pathetically, like every other time I talk to my dad.“Good.”I bite my lip unsurely, debating on whether to ask the question burning in my mind. “W-Why did you call, dad?”“I’m calling to warn you that I’m on my way to
LorenzoThe few Alphas gathered in the room are getting on my nerves. They keep interrupting the meeting and I have to put them in their place just to be able to continue. I’ve been constantly meeting with the packs for the last weeks due to the difficult situation with recent attacks on them. Almost every pack has been attacked and suffered a great damage.Almost.The Dark Moon Pack, where I am at the moment, hasn’t really suffered, having the strongest army on the whole continent, led by none other than Beast.She and her army of Deads easily dealt with the attackers and even managed to catch a few of them alive. After I visited the packs that didn’t handle their situation so well, I came here to interrogate the intruders.Right now I’m sitting in Alpha Kingston’s office, with his mate, Thea, his son Theo, - I wonder what happened to their firstborn, Hunter - and a few neighboring alphas accompanying us. The men are way chattier than I would’ve liked. I hate having to listen to thei
IvyMy whole Saturday is spent studying for the upcoming tests I have next week. I need to revise the material so I can get a good grade. The amount of assignments is overwhelming, but I don’t mind. I’d rather do this than spend another evening watching sad movies and eating junk food.Lia and Blake are with the football team in Los Angeles, where they have a game tonight. But even though they’re busy, Lia still called me to check how I was doing. She’s been doing that all the time whenever I wasn’t with her, mainly because of the situation at the club few weeks ago.I haven’t seen the man Lia beat up again, but it may be because I spend most of my time outside with her and Blake. The fact that they’re being watched by some bikers might also be a reason for my peace.After few hours of working on my assignments my doorbell rings, almost sending me into a panic attack. I know for a fact it’s not Lia, Blake or the guys from the team, since they’re all in a different state, and I don’t r
IvyThe next weeks were quite peaceful, spent mostly with my friends. Lia wasn’t joking when she said she’s not going to leave me alone. Whenever I went out, she was there with me. Today we even have kind of a girls’ day and it’s the best thing ever. I noticed that Lia doesn’t like girly stuff, so we didn’t do anything like that. We went for massages then got our hair done, and then we went to dinner to this cute little bistro Lia recommended.I was genuinely shocked when Lia told me she wants to dye her hair ash blonde, but damn does it look good on her. She had three sessions at the salon, today’s one being the last one.We talked about anything and everything the whole day, getting really close. It's so nice to spend time with someone so genuine and honest. She doesn't beat around the bush or pretend to like something she doesn't. When I suggested going shopping earlier, she straight ot told me she hates it and she'd rather not show me her angry side, saying it might scare me.“Oh
IvyI should’ve known. It was too perfect to be true.I’m so stupid.I put another spoonful of my favorite chocolate ice cream in my mouth, sobbing quietly as I watch the movie. I try to convince myself that the tears that flow down my face are caused by the death scene playing on the screen and not the fact that I was stood up.I glance at the dress I chose for the date with disdain, hating how it’s going to remind me of today every time I look at it. I shouldn’t have believed that a man like Lorenzo would want anything to do with me. He was probably making fun of me, like all the other guys that have ever asked me out.The first guy to ever play with me like that was my crush from middle school. He was so charming and polite when he asked me on a date that I immediately agreed, all too eager to be with him. He showed up, unlike Lorenzo, but the date was horrible. When he asked me if I had fun, I lied, afraid of offending him. Only then did he tell me that it was all fake, laughing i
LorenzoI asked her out. I know it might’ve been too fast, but I just couldn’t stop myself. After millennia spent alone, I finally found my little mate and I’ll be damned if I let her get away.“Someone looks happy.” Alex comments as he works on his laptop. I was unable to wipe the grin off my face the whole way here, so it’s no wonder he noticed the change of my mood. “What happened?”“I found my mate. – I grin when I see his eyes bulge out – And I asked her out.”“Already?!” He shrieks before clearing his throat. “I mean, already? Isn’t that a bit fast? Who is she?” He gives me a skeptical look.“She’s human, that’s for starters. I need to get close to her the traditional way. If I just suddenly told her she’s mine cause she’s my mate, she’d freak out. – I shrug, pouring myself a drink – I met her yesterday.” I smile fondly at the memory of my little mate in that cute little top and jeans.“Yesterday? – Alex trails off confusedly – But you were at the…”“At the club, yeah.” I nod, p
IvyMr. Lorenzo, David and I sit in Lia and Blake’s living room, waiting for my friends impatiently. I’m still shaken from the whole incident at the club, but for some reason the huge jacket the Mr. Lorenzo put on me earlier gives me a sense of security. It’s so warm and big, and it smells of Mr. Lorenzo. I wish I could just bottle it up and smell it forever. It’s so tantalizing.“Um, excuse me… - I get their attention – I would like to go home to change clothes, if you don’t mind. I’m covered in… blood.” I scowl at the stains on my body. I guess I got them by hugging Lia earlier.“Of course, sweetheart. Where do you live?” Mr. Lorenzo asks softly, staring at me with those golden eyes of his that resemble molten honey. I could get lost in them for eternity.“Just next door. – I answer, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear – I’ll just, uh, go and come back in few minutes. Is that okay?” I don’t know why but I feel like I have to ask them.David only chuckles in amusement. “Sure, go ah
