Byron’s POV I felt a desperate sadness run through me from Hanna. Kane and Gabe follow me into the office, Becca on our heels. I burst into the office and saw Hanna crying. “What did you say to her to make her feel like that?” Kane looks like he's about to rip Alexander into pieces. “No, he didn’t say anything. I just know that if his position in the Royal family is reinstated, he’ll have to leave. I know it’s selfish, but I don’t want him to leave.” I smiled. “That’s not selfish love. But you’re not wrong, he will have to leave. What with him being a fallen prince, it may take some time to get him reinstated. So for now just enjoy the time you have.” She nodded and smiled. “You’re right my love. Thank you.” Her dad nodded. “So do you know if Callis has taken over yet?” I shook my head. “No, he isn’t due to take over until next year. Spencer is still in full reign until next month before they start transitioning Callis into the role. I can arrange an earlier meeting with S
Hanna’s POVByron lifted me up into his arms. “Off to bed for you, my beautiful mate.” I pouted. “But you all promised.” He chuckled, and looked down at me. He kissed my forehead. “Yes, we did promise. We promised later, but we didn't exactly say how much later.” I growled at him. The further along I got in my pregnancy the more testy I felt. It felt like my whole self was changing, not just my body. I felt like I could be more assertive with my mates. My abuse still played heavy in my soul. Sometimes I still feel like I don’t deserve my mates, or the love they give me. I looked down, maybe they weren’t interested in me, as my belly grows with each passing day. “Don’t.” Byron lifted my chin and washed away the doubts. With that one word he planted a hot kiss on my lips. I felt my doubt edging away, giving way to a rising heat. My need felt like an endless river pouring into me, threatening to drown me. He set me down slowly. Every ridge of his body still prominent under his clothes
Gabes POV I woke up when Hanna rolled off of my chest and into Byron's arms snuggling up to his chest and rubbing her butt against me, seaking heat. Kane laughed and got up throwing on some shorts. “Where are you going? She's going to be upset if you aren’t here when she wakes up.” I watched as he nodded and padded to the door anyway. “Yes but I also know she is going to be starving when she wakes up. Yesterday was long as hell for all of us. Not only that but you’ll have to go soon to go to the training grounds. I’d rather her wake up with you and be distracted when you leave.” He smiled then left the room. “Well, that was oddly perceptive of him.” Byron whispered out. He kissed Hannas head. He looked down to our mate and pulled her a little closer to him, one hand on her back. I felt a tingle shoot across my stomach where the back of Byron's hand was touching. “What are you doing?” I stared at him, waiting for him to answer me. He just kept looking at Hanna. “I’m balancing ou
Hanna’s POV It seemed like the day dragged on and so did the night. I felt like I couldn’t really sleep all night. My stomach was cramping up, their touch didn’t even help. Usually the comfort I get from them is incomparable to anything else. “What's wrong kitten?” Gabrial was the first to wake, which surprised me since he didn’t get home until quite late. I was already sleeping when he slipped into bed with us. “I don’t know, maybe I’m just nervous for today. It just feels like a lot, you know. I’m excited, but also scared. What if no one thinks I’m adequate? I mean, technically I’m still a rogue until you guys initiate me into the pack. Then I also have to get used to a pack bond, and the mind link. With Lilly out of touch right now, will I be able to shut it off?” “Oh, kitten… You should have said something sooner. I know everyone is going to love you. There really aren’t many that don’t know about you by now so I don’t think you should worry. The part about the link, I’m not s
Byron's POVI forgot to tell everyone to turn their link off before we accepted Hanna into our pack as our Luna. As she fell backwards I saw Kane reaching out to catch her. “Turn off all of your links to Luna! Hanna’s wolf isn’t able to help her right now so we all need to keep a closed line to her for now.” Gabe pointed at Becca. She shook her head, she didn't know that this would happen or she would have warned us. Gabe nodded. When I looked down to check on her the water was being stained with blood and our mate had lost consciousness. Kane was staring at her in horror, but effortlessly lifted her up and carried her out of the water. “Come on doll, wake back up.” Kane whispered in her ear as he moved out of the water. The doctor hadn’t come, there were still too many injured and sick for him to attend. “Shift and take us. I’ll hold onto you and her. It’ll be faster than any of us running on foot. Let him out.” I nodded then shifted, Gabe held Hanna while Kane jumped on us. Gabe h
Kane’s POV “You hurt him, he’s sulking so much that I can’t get him to shift back. You talk to him damn it!” Obsidian was yelling inside my head while he looked like he wanted to rip my throat out. His claws dug into my shoulders, he snapped his teeth at me when I didn’t respond right away. “Okay, fuck!” I went to push him off of me but he held me down and dug his nails deeper. I gritted my teeth as shadows began wrapping around my body. “What are you doing Obsidian? Let me go.” He licked his nose and looked around. “I’m not doing that, you know I can’t wield Byron's magic, and besides it’s no joke, I’d never.” I rolled my eyes at him knowing full well if he could he would. “Well then get off me at least. You aren’t light!” He whined, a strange noise for him. I’d never heard him do that before. What was happening? Gabe had shifted and seemed like he was waiting for something. What the hell was he waiting for? Much longer and I’d be crushed by the shadows. I felt my flesh ripping
Hanna’s POV“Hmm, where is Byron? I’m starving.” I felt like my eyes were overly heavy when I tried to open them. I felt Kane and Gabe cuddled up to each side of me. Kane removed his hand from my stomach and touched my face. He wiped tears away that I hadn't realized had been falling. Gabe replaced Kane’s hand on my stomach. It felt so empty, so unnatural, something was terribly wrong, so so wrong. My eyes shot open to find Kanes beautiful eyes waiting for mine. They swirled with deep sadness, understanding and anger. More tears fell from my eyes. I shook my head over and over, I screamed and wailed in agony. Gabe grabbed my face gently stilling my shaking and wiped the tears from my face.“It will be okay love they will be okay with the Moon Goddess. Not all of them have returned to the Moon Goddess, you still
Kades POV I was furious! Another fucking rogue decided to step over our border. You would think they would have learned by now that that would be the end of them. “Shift!” I demanded of the rogue that had truss passed onto my territory. When she shifted I was surprised to hear my wolf Hunter shouting "MATE, MATE!" How could a rogue be an alphas mate? This isn't possible, is it? "Hunter, are you sure?" I ask my wolf. He seems irritated that I would doubt him. "Don't you feel that she is our mate? I am not wrong, she is our mate!" I feel that she is our mate but how is this possible? It's widely known that no Alpha has rogue mates, they have Alpha female mates. "Hunter, she is a rogue. What has the moon goddess done, why make me wait so long for a mate, then give me a rogue? Our pack is the strongest pack in this country. We need a strong Alpha female as our mate! And what of our brothers? Triplets don't happen often in our community, especially Alpha triplets. Do you still thi
