2024-10-29 19:42:56‘We should take charge more often.’ Emilia sighed contently as I got dressed again. I couldn’t help but blush as I glanced over at Alec and saw him putting condoms into his pockets. ‘At least he’s making sure he’s prepared for when our heat hits us again.’ Emilia nodded in approval.
Certainly can’t argue with that. We’d had unprotected sex twice today, three in total if you counted that first time in the shower two days ago.
I worried at my lower lip, placing a hand over my abdomen as the legitimate fear started to settle in. At this moment, I could be on the path to motherhood.
I’m not some naive child who doesn’t know how this all works. I know it can take days for sperm to reach an egg and more days after for the fertilized egg to implant. So I can’t say if our three careless moments resulted in a pup for almost two weeks.
I made a mental note that I need to find a pharmacy in town after my heat and buy a test to have ready to take in t

Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 50 - Alec
This library holds the history of my pack along with great pieces of literature and information on various supernatural species. I had hoped that there would be something about our mark and those wolves somewhere in this library. Though for all I knew, my father had tossed the one book I would need. Crista did it despite the probability of finding the correct book in this sea of books. She found the exact text we needed. Chesed, of course, got off track and was more interested in teasing her looking to spark her heat. ‘As if you don’t want her again.’ Chesed scoffed. I rolled my eyes and ignored him, and started looking at the page. My mind flashed to last night’s nightmare. The black wolf had chomped into my arm as if to keep in place. Crista had a similar dream but the black wolf was lunging for her throat. And just as the white wolf was lunging for my neck, I woke up. Why are we being attacked by the originators of the Incubi pack? What could C
Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 51 - Crista
This was crazy. Right? Sure, there’s always been folk stories about ancient wolf spirits and how they started different packs. And the Darkness and Light is just another of those. But given I have the mark on my neck and keep seeing them in my dreams, they’re more real than any mere legend. And beyond the legend that the book told us, his Nonna Katrina left a prophecy for him to find. I can’t say why she wouldn’t have told him herself, but I can imagine many reasons would have prevented her from doing so. My mind was still reeling from that prophecy. It’s not just about Alec but me too. If he’s Darkness, then I’m Light. I didn’t even get to wrap my mind around that before my heat hit. My mind was clouded by the heat that I vaguely remember hearing Persephone and André. I didn’t care. All I knew was I needed Alec. I needed relief from the overwhelming flames that filled my body. Emilia was more than happy to take more control when our mate carried us to
Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 52 - Alec
I had a good idea whose voices were speaking before everything went black. It was the only thing that made sense. And of course, I opened my eyes and found I was right. I’m on my ass naked in the grass of the same clearing my father used to beat me in. Why is it always this godforsaken spot? Of course, I’m not alone. Light is sitting in front of me, the ivory fur along her muzzle stained with blood. Why is there blood on her muzzle? Instinctively I reached up and found fresh blood on my mark. “You and Darkness completed the bond when Crista and I bite each other’s marks.” It wasn’t a question; I was confident I was right. It explained the sudden urge to bite Crista’s mark. Darkness and Light were working through us. I guess they grew tired of trying to reach us through our dreams. So they used a moment of weakness during Crista’s heat to take action. “Always overthinking everything. Just like Darkness. Too analytical for yo
Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 53 - Crista
I should be paying more attention to dinner and the conversations, but I keep looking to the forest. I’m afraid that I will see Iganzio out there watching me. ‘He isn’t out there. He will never be out there. Our mate won’t let him get near us.’ Emilia assured me. That should be enough. I should feel safe sitting here with Alec at my side. He did talk to the crone about finding out how Ignazio could spy on me. ‘He’s not out there, kitten. You’re safe, and we will keep you that way.’ Chesed’s voice swirled around in my mind. Strange to have him offering me comfort. But I suppose for Chesed, it’s a matter of protecting what he deems as his over comforting me. Under the table, I felt the warmth of Alec’s hand on my leg, pushing the hem of my dress up just a little. Alec was using the bond, comforting me with his touch. My nerves calmed just in enough time to focus on the conversation as my sister called us out for mating in the study. Did she ac
Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 54 - Alec
I don’t like when Katrina puts herself down. She is not lesser because she didn’t get a wolf or magic. She’s perfect exactly as she is. And any male would be lucky to be her mate. And so help me if she has a mate out there and he dares to reject her because she’s a hybrid and has no wolf. ‘We skin him alive and have a new rug in our office.’ Chesed growled. We aren’t often on the same page, but we always manage to agree when it comes to protecting our children. And it isn’t just Katrina that we would go to such an extreme to protect from heartbreak. The same goes for any mate who would reject André for being a hybrid and gay. Anyone who cannot see how amazing my children are and count their blessings to be mated to one of them does not deserve to live. ‘You okay over there? I’m picking up some very aggressive vibes?’ Crista questioned through our link. Of course, she picked up on my agitation. I need to be better about that, though it’s also good
Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 55 - Ignazio
***Warning this chapter contains content of a graphic nature featuring inhumane actions.**** **** **** **** **** **** My right leg won’t stop shaking, my hands too. Where is Melania? She was supposed to be here an hour ago. I need more of that potion. I can’t think clearly without it. And that bitch knows it. She’s doing this on purpose. If it weren’t because she’s the only one that can brew it, I would kill her. “What’s taking her so long!?” I snarled. Slamming my fist into the arm of my chair, startling the slave girl kneeling in front of me servicing me. I glared at her tear-stained face as she scrambled back, her job unfinished. I’d called her in here to give me a blow job, thinking maybe it would take some of the edge off while I waited. But she couldn’t even do that right. She’s from the Nebrodi pack, one of the bitches we captured. She’s not ugly, with supple breasts, mossy green eyes, and thi
Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 56 - Crista
I am very grateful that my sisters and Katrina are here. My heat is still a raging fire that only gives me a few hours where I don’t have an uncontrollable need, not just a desire, to have sex with Alec. So it’s fallen to my sisters and Katrina more so to be host to Isis Adio. I feel bad for the girl. Yes, she’s gotten to know Persephone a little, but she’s been brought to the villa, and due to me being in heat, her mate can’t even come with her. So she’s in an unfamiliar home with unfamiliar people while her mate is out helping the Incubi warriors fight off Mandonie attacks. There is some good news in all this. The attack on the coven failed, epically based on André’s account of the events. I still laugh when I remember this theatrical retelling of that night. While André told his epic tale, Chesed was getting agitated, wanting his son to get to the point. The guy is over the top, which makes him a great storyteller. Alright, so I was probably part of
Alpha of Nightmares Chapter 57 - Alec
I should have felt relieved that this attack against the coven failed. And I am. Ignazio knew about the coven, and that he made it a point to go for the first is worrying. Whoever this witch is working with him, I can only assume she’s someone who defected from the coven.But who? Not like Chiara keeps me informed of her coven members beyond if they need more houses built or extra resources. So I honestly don’t even know how large the coven is. That’s going to change in the morning.Because if this gut feeling I have is correct and Ignazio is getting aid from a coven defector, any insider information he’s being fed is on Chiara’s head.Even the exhaustion from sex and the calming affect of having Crista is my arms didn’t quell my worries. These worries swirled in my mind making sleep hard to find.Thankfully she slept peacefully. I know she and her sisters think this is their fault. I felt it when Andr

I can’t believe we are going on a week-long vacation. I’m happy for the time to relax. And if I’m honest, to be away from everyone. My sisters have been overbearing recently. I know they are trying to be helpful, but even if I am starting to resemble a beached whale, I am not an invalid. I can still do things for myself. So a week away from them will be nice. And the same for Isadora and the other ranked she-wolves. I like each of them, but if they aren’t treating me like a child, they give all this advice from their pregnancies. And I appreciate it. I truly do. But I am not them, and they are not my mamma. This trip happened just in time because I was inches from ripping Isadora’s face off. She is a wonderful woman. I love her; I do.
Alpha of Nightmares Incubi: Baby-Moon - Alec
We’ve reached the third trimester of Crista’s pregnancy, and if memory serves, this will be the more uncomfortable trimester. The first trimester was hard on Crista, and as her mate, I felt her pain and did what I could to take some of it. But no mate bond can stop morning sickness. Still find that a strange phrase, a complete oxymoron from anything I’ve seen. I thought I’d seen plenty of morning sickness during Liliana’s pregnancy with the twins and also from a less up-close experience during Izzy’s three pregnancies. Crista, however, suffered far worse. Doctor Anselma Laurito diagnosed her with hyperemesis gravidarum, severe morning sickness. Thankfully, with proper monitoring and ensuring Crista stayed hydrated, we could make it through that first trimester. And by the start of her fift

I shook my head, willing my blush away. I was failing, but I was trying, damn it. “Anyway… Tiberius sent me a surprise from our family home.” I gestured to my mamma’s gown.“And of course, I’m for Crista wearing this. It was our mamma’s dress. She met our papa in that dress and took the Beta oath in it. She promised it to Crista when we were just kids. So she should wear it tonight.” Persephone snorted.André’s eyes lit up as he looked at the gown. Gently setting down the black dress, he picked my mamma’s dress up like he was holding a priceless jewel.“This is… oh, it’s gorgeous. The craftsmanship is exquisite. Nonna Gwen had taste. It’s heavenly… ethereal. It’s sexy while still demur. It just screams Crista, host of Light.” André gushed before gently putting the dress down.“Now, why are we arguing?” André looked from

A lot happened, and it all happened so fast. It wasn’t even two months ago that I was getting dressed up for Thales’s welcome home party, heart fluttering as I wondered if we would be mates. My mind raced with thoughts of becoming Luna of Nebrodi rather than Beta. All that quickly changed when Madonie attacked us. Thales was killed. His parents, my parents, all the ranked wolves were killed. All but Tiberius, my sisters, and me. Though they did a number on Tiberius and had some nefarious plans for him based on what he’s told me after waking up from his coma. ‘You weren’t wrong on that feeling you’d be a Luna rather than a Beta.’ Emilia shrugged. ‘Instead, we’re Luna of Incubi and mated to a much better-looking male than Thales.” Her nose twitched slightly as she made the comparison. I rolled my eyes. ‘It’s rude to speak ill of the dead. Thales was cute as a boy, and I’m sure he’d grown to be a handsome man while studying abroad. But even t

“Of course. Rather hard to not have an alliance with my mate’s father and twin brother.” Tiberius shrugged as he flipped through the papers. Darren nodded, scanning the documents a bit more thoroughly. “Of course, Alpha. We intend to also maintain an alliance with Bloodmoon. I am unsure if that is in your plans or Tiberius’s for your individual packs. But given I am from Bloodmoon and retain connections there, André and I intend to write up a formal treaty with Alpha Logan for our packs. We plan to present it to him before his wedding in November.” Darren explained. I’m not surprised he wants to keep an alliance with his former pack. Given that the Bloodmoon wolf is connected on some ancient cosmic levels with Darkness and Light, I already had that in mind. “I cannot speak for Tiberius, but yes. Damon faxed over a rough draft of our treaty to Logan this morning.” Tiberius shrugged. “Katrina suggested we make the alliance too. She assumed you and André

Sitting in my office at the town hall, I found it hard to focus. So much has happened. So much has changed. And it all happened in what both felt like a blink but also forever. It’s only been a month since our victory over Ignazio, and things are still settling down. It’s strange to think that a chance encounter turned my world upside down. ‘It was not a chance encounter.’ Darkness snorted, his voice faint from beyond the wall that contained him. I sighed in concession. Darkness is right. Nothing about what happened was by chance. Everything happened by design. As the hosts of Darkness and Light, it was only a matter of time that Crista and I would be drawn to each other. Ironic that Melania wanted to prevent us from coming together, yet everything she did only pushed us down that path. Her enlisting Ignazio to do her bidding, having him attack the Nebrodi to take Crista, starting a war with my pack, all of it brought Crista and me together.

Witch? What in the world? Does that mean the reason Tiberius has been in a coma even after Katrina at his side this whole time is witch-related? I swear if Melania did anything to Tiberius… what I did to Silvano would look like child’s play. ‘We can’t kill the witch.’ Light sighed. I frowned. ‘Why the hell now?’ I demanded. ‘Only another Berardi witch can kill her. So if Katrina is displaying witch powers, she can or the Crone. You will have to leave it to them.” Light shrugged. “I still want to see them. To know they are okay.” I insisted. Damon sighed, and I could tell he was getting exasperated. Even if I haven’t had the ceremony, I’m his Luna, so he wants to do what I ask. He’s also loyal to Alec and obviously wants to protect me and stay on Alec’s good side. “Crista! Forget Katrina. I can feel Delilah!” Persephone shook my arm. I blinked and let myself call out to Delilah. She’s okay! My sister is okay. ‘I’m okay. I’m sorry that I worried you both.’ I wi

I know I’m going to get a lecture for this. Alec won’t be happy that I left the villa, but he’ll get over it. And Chesed… well, I’m not sure which he’ll be angrier about. Me leaving the villa or driving his car. Either way, he can shove it. I’m not some helpless damsel. I have Light, and well, if what she did to Silvano is even a fraction of her power, I’m going to say me, and the baby is in good hands. ‘I will do my best to keep you and the pup safe. However, I cannot use the full extent of my power in this form. So keep that in mind.’ Light cautioned as I pulled out of the driveway. “Damn, this is a sweet ride. A Maserati Ghibli Trofeo, it can go from zero to ninety-six kilometers in under four seconds.” Persephone whistled in appreciation as she wrung a hand over the dashboard. She and papa were total gear heads. “I know we are in a rush to follow Katrina to ensure she and Tiberius are okay. But maybe we shouldn’t test just how fast this car

I snarled, wanting to go after my son and Gastone. My need to protect my son kicked in as I started to turn in that direction. Darkness, however, pulled me back. Freezing me in place.‘Leave the underling to your son. We have work to do.’ Darkness growled, his eyes locked on Ignazio. The little twit was still standing there, in no rush to escape. His grip on that chain that dragged a she-wolf by her neck tightened.“Amazed you showed yourself, old man. I heard you’ve been in hiding. Too afraid to come and face me.” Ignazio scoffed, yanking at the chain, forcing the girl in front of him. He’s seriously using her as a shield. There’s no honor in that.“Do you like my little pet? She’s not as lovely as the prize I’m going to claim. I heard you took a liking to my mate. Too bad she’s mine. I’d say you’ll get over it, but it won’t matter. You’ll be dead.” Ignaz
