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
HunterI stare in the direction my mom’s gone, sighing quietly. I know exactly what’s going through her head and it breaks my heart.Kissing Skye’s and Stephanie’s heads, I give my little princess to Brian and go after my mother.“Mom.” I say when I enter the room. She’s already changed into some sweatpants and a t-shirt, just sitting on the bed quietly.“I failed you. – she croaks, her voice filled with emotion – I endangered my own child!” She clenches her fists, slumping on the bed with her elbows on her knees. She looks so broken.Slowly making my way to her, I sit by her side and pull her into my arms. She seems so small and vulnerable right now, not at all like the strong woman that raised me and my brothers.“Mom, it’s okay. You couldn’t have known. – I soothe – What’s important is that they’re gone now. They won’t hurt the babies.” I feel mom exhale a shaky breath at the mere mention of those people getting Adrian and Stephanie.“I should’ve found out about them earlier. I nev
SkyeIt’s been few months since the visit from Hunter’s grandparents and it’s been really peaceful during that time. There were no rogue attacks, no hostile Undeads and no troubles whatsoever.Apart from our little monsters not letting us sleep.They’re really fussy and they keep crying and screaming all the time. Adrian is hungrier that ever, needing to be fed Hunter’s blood around 20 times a day. He drinks about a gallon of blood daily and I’m scared that it’ll affect Hunter’s health. He always shrugs it off, but it’s still worrying me.Stephanie also changed a little. She hates being left alone. I have to keep her with me at all times, no matter what I’m doing or she yells her lungs out. Adrian still keeps cuddling with her when they sleep, but when my little princess is awake, she’s a total mommy’s girl. Or grandpa’s, cause she really likes to be in his arms.Dad’s been helping my mate a lot with the pack’s business, just like Luna Angel asked him to – he explained that after Luna
HunterI’ve been overseeing the warriors’ training for few hours now, assessing their abilities to see who’ll be the most useful in the upcoming war with those rogues my mom warned me about. She didn’t say much else, since she didn’t want to stir anything, but her message was clear.The rogues’ alpha wants a hybrid. He has this sick obsession about them, according to what my mom and Aiden and Asher found out. He wants an army and my kids are the best way for him to get it. Especially Adrian, since he carries the undead gene, while Stephanie is a pure werewolf. At least we think so, cause she hasn’t shown any signs of being a hybrid. Though she might be just a late bloomer. I guess time will tell.But still, no matter what, that rogue alpha will never touch them. I’d sooner die than have someone hurt my babies. I’ll kill everyone that as much as tries to hurt my mate, my children or my pack. I don’t care how many of them will come or how strong will they be – no one is taking my family
SkyeAfter an exhausting morning with Hunter, I get ready for my training with Ruby. Hunter still doesn’t know that she’s training me, but I get a feeling he wouldn’t agree to this. He’s extremely overprotective and even mentioning something remotely dangerous sends him into frenzy.“Okay, Luna, today we’re going to work with your wolf. Would you mind shifting?” Ruby politely asks.“I told you to talk comfortably. It feels weird to have you talk so… officially to me.” I reprimand quietly, taking off my clothes behind a tree, shifting into my white wolf.‘Ready, little human?’ Pearl asks in my head, smirking smugly.‘Ready. Let’s show her what we’re made of.’ I smirk back, feeling giddy at the prospect of proving how effective my training was.‘A bit of feisty and a whole load of cuteness. That’s what Red says.’ I frown in confusion for a moment but then end up giggling when I get what she means. Red always calls me and Pearl cute when we’re in wolf form, and apparently my feisty wolf
RedOne of the warriors hands me a pair of jeans that he got from one of the hidden supplies. I hurriedly put them on, laying my mate on the ground gently before picking her up again and taking her to the pack house to see the doctor. Her head is bleeding badly and I’m close to freaking out.Doctor is already waiting for me when I reach the house, leading me into the infirmary. I lay Skye on the bed, pressing a kiss to her head. “I will be back my love. I will get our children back. I swear it to you. Just stay strong and heal. I love you.” I whisper into her ear then kiss her soft lips again before leaving her with Doc. I have to get our babies back, fast.I walk out of the house with quick and determined steps, passing by the warriors waiting outside. “I’m going after the rogues who kidnapped my children. You’re going to stay here and keep my mate safe. When Brian arrives, tell him what happened and say I asked him to not let Skye leave the house.” I tell them seriously, getting fir
Hunter I lie on the table, completely drained, but already awake. I don’t know how many times I had my blood drained, cause whenever I’m healed, it all starts all over again. Even Red retreated to the back of my mind, too weak to stay with me. That fucker Armstrong knows that slicing my throat won’t kill me; he fought against Undeads before with my mother, so he knows the weaknesses and strengths of one. Which means he can keep doing the same thing over and over again without killing me.Fuck!“Awake already? Impressive.” I only growl at him in response as he saunters around the table I'm on. “No need to get so angry now, is there? – he mocks – I’m just checking up on my blood bag. It’s been a while and you’re still alive. As expected from the Beast’s son. Do you know why I didn’t go after her instead of you? You don’t? I didn’t tell you? – as usual, Armstrong starts his weird tale of how he’s amazed with my mother’s abilities and the Undeads – Well, I didn’t go after your mother, be
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
