(Preston’s P.O.V)

Using the portal at the Hallowed Manes Pack to enter the Lunar Realm in the Kingdom of Màni was going to be a highlight of my life because I get to meet the Luna Queen and Alpha King. I couldn’t help the giddy feeling and the almost girlish squeal that left my lips when Luna Queen Morrigan, belly round with their heir, greeted me with a warm smile and a handshake.

“Oh, my apologies Your Majesty, I forget myself,” I state as I pull my hand from hers and quickly give a bow.

“No worries, Preston, and please no formalities, it’s really annoying.” She giggles.

“I’m so honored and humbled that you would be willing to escort me to Eferhile, it’s been a few years since I was last there,” I state as I offer her my arm, to walk up the stairs from the portal.

“Oh please! I’m just excited to go back home and see my family. Between you and me, Rian has gone absolutely ape shit with this pregnancy.” She whispers conspiratorially in my ear.

“I heard that mo grà.” A

    (Tiernan’s P.O.V) After three days of non-stop fucking, Siobhan’s heat finally broke and now it was time to face the reality of our situation. We had mated, and while we hadn’t marked one another, being apart from each other would slowly kill us. She got dressed in one of my shirts and a pair of gym shorts since her clothes were ripped off her body the first day of her heat. “We need to talk,” I say. “Yeah, but I don’t want to talk right now.” She mumbles as she walks to the door. “No, we talk now. I’m not going to put this off just because you are uncomfortable about the whole thing. I gave you an out, I told you to take a shower, I told you I wouldn’t touch you. You gave your consent. So, we are having this conversation now.” I growl. “Fine.” She huffs, rolling her eyes at me as she walks over to the couch in the sitting area. She sits down, folding her legs crisscross, and indicates for me to start talking. “Now that we are mated, I’m expecting you to

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) After my three-day fuckfest with my mate, I really didn’t want to be near him or his disco stick anytime soon, but alas, here we are in the sitting room with my family. Awesome. “What do you guys want?” I ask, a little more harshly than I intended. “We are here because we care about you and want to know what happened,” Brian said. “You already know what happened Bri, I already told you guys what happened with Wyatt. I don’t want to open that can of worms again.” “We know we aren’t asking you to do that. We want to know what happened in your life that made it so you thought you couldn’t come to us for help.” My mother said, her voice trembling. “Nothing,” I say quickly. “Bullshit! You have barely talked to any of us in almost a decade and this is the first time you’ve been home. If it weren’t for the investigation into the kidnappings, you wouldn’t even be here right now!” Patrick yells. “You really want to know? You ready for the truth big brother

    (Tiernan’s P.O.V) “Why can’t you keep your fucking mouth shut Lily? What do you have against Siobhan that you have to make situations worse? First you shame her and blame her for her sexual assault and then now you are coming at her with this bullshit?!” Stella yells. “She’s being a fucking child! She needs to get over it.” Lily shouts back, crossing her arms over her chest. “It doesn’t matter what YOU think! This stuff has obviously affected her so badly that she felt that she couldn’t come to her own fucking family about what happened to her.” Shelly sobs out. “Did your time in the dungeons teach you nothing?” Brian asked her, incredulously. Lily rolled her eyes at her family as she got up out of her chair and walked down the stairs and out of the packhouse. “What is wrong with that girl?” Derrick whispered, shaking his head. “I’d be happy to put her back in the dungeons until she learns her lesson.” I say, shrugging. “Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be com

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) After Tiernan finished explaining to me what a Primal Dom was, I couldn’t help the shiver that ran up my spine or the waterfall that gushed from my pussy. I think we need to take a run and see what this is all about. Tala says with a wolfy smirk on her face. I agree little wolf. Without warning, I jump off the bed and run out of the packhouse and towards the forest, the need to be chased was building in me at the thought of him hunting me…wanting to take me in such an animalistic way. His roar shook the forest signaling that he was coming after me, this sent a shiver of giddy anticipation through me, and my heart began to race. Whether it was racing from excitement for this little game or out of fear, I wasn’t sure, and to be honest, I didn’t really care. Trees flew past me in a blur of color their branches pricking at my skin leaving their marks on my body. The hot sun was beating through the trees, making the forest muggy and almost stif

    (Tiernan’s P.O.V) Taking Siobhan like that on the forest floor was probably one of the best Primal play scenes that I have ever had. To know that she enjoyed it just as much as I did makes it all the better. I pull her body to mine, with my cock still deep inside her, and lay us down on the ground. “Are you okay, kitten?” I ask softly, cuddling her into my chest. “Mmm.” She moans. “I’m going to need words baby.” I chuckle. “That was amazing.” She whispers. “Let’s get back to the packhouse so I can give you some proper aftercare,” I murmur before kissing the top of her head. “You tore my clothes, Ty.” She laughs. “You can wear my shirt. I’ll carry you back.” I state as I pull out of her. She whimpers at the loss of contact when I stand up to get my clothes from where I had put them. Once I have my briefs and pants on, I sit her up and toss my shirt on her before bending down and picking her up carrying her bridal style. She snuggles into my chest, and h

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) Tiernan and I made our way into the conference room, where my team along with Ty’s parents and brother, Drake’s parents, and mine along with Brian, sitting around the table. Preston was standing up, pacing at the head of the table. My eyes landed on a woman who I didn’t recognize. She’s tall, and has delicate features, with beautiful grey eyes, short brown hair, and a slim build. She was naturally beautiful, and I could tell she was Fae by her smell. “Preston, will you stop pacing! You’re giving me a headache!” Artis says, rubbing her temple. “Sorry, I’m just…I don’t even know…” He huffs out. This isn’t like Preston; he’s always been extremely composed, even under the worst kind of pressure. The woman that was standing off to the side, comes up to him and places her hand on his shoulder. He immediately stops his pacing and the tension that was in his shoulders is finally gone. She’s his mate. What!? No way! Bet! “Preston, who is this?” Ca

    (Tiernan’s P.O.V) Are you sure it’s a good idea for us to be going to the hotel? Artemis may show up. That can’t be helped. As you said, Steele, we will have to tell her eventually. He nods his head before curling up in the back of my mind, though I can still feel his nerves and anxiety. The meeting wraps up, hopes are at an all-time low right now with the information that Preston brought back from Eferhile. “Do you still want to go on our date tonight? I know you may not be feeling up to it after the news we got today.” I ask, pulling Si towards me. “We can go on our date; nothing is going to change what was discussed tonight and stewing in it isn’t going to help my mood.” She states. “Okay, kitten. I’m going to pack my overnight bag before we head out.” She nods her head stiffly, obviously annoyed that I’m inserting myself into her life like this, but I don’t really care. I wasn’t going to be leaving her side any time soon, not until my mark was on her

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) Tiernan was starting to piss me off, I really wish that I hadn’t gone into heat as I had, or I wouldn’t have mated with him, and I would have been able to reject him like I wanted to. But no, I mated with him…a lot…and now I was up shit creek without a paddle. You need to get over it. Who’s that? Is that my wolf? No, it couldn’t be my wolf since I haven’t heard from her in days. Stop being a C U Next Tuesday. You have no one to blame but yourself for my silence. You were hurting me because of your inability to trust that someone would love you without hurting you. Wow, way to be a bitch. You just don’t like the fact that I’m right and that you’re scared. Tala goes back to the deep recesses of my mind, back to ignoring me. I hate when my wolf is right about shit. I wish that, just once, I could be the one spitting facts at her but nope, here I am with egg on my face. I’m starting to think that volunteering for this case was a bad idea and that

  • Alpha of the Dead   Epilogue II

    (Artis’s P.O.V) Day after funeral pyres Sitting in the car with my mate, Alpha Brock Malone, was pure torture with his scent surrounding me, nearly suffocating me. He smelled delicious, leather and pine. It had been over a year since I had seen him. A year since I had spoken my official rejection. A year since he had softly said that he did not accept that rejection. Orsa, my bear, and I were slowly dying. I was having difficulty shifting and when I did, it was agony. Orsa stopped talking to me, I rarely heard from her and when I did, it was usually something snarky. I didn’t blame her though; I had taken her away from her mate. Brock hadn’t been doing much better, according to my brother, who happened to be his Gamma. He was angrier than he had ever been, his temper out of control to the point that the sleuth was beginning to fear him for all the wrong reasons. This was worrisome considering Brock Malone was a giant teddy bear, and I’m not saying that becaus

    (Tiernan’s P.O.V) 5 months later “Come on, kitten. You can do it.” I murmur in her ear, as her grip tightens around my hand. She’d been in labor for the last day and a half, it was finally time to meet our baby. I had tried talking Siobhan into finding out if we were having a girl, but she wouldn’t budge on wanting to be surprised. Though we did pick out names for each sex: Imogen if the baby is a girl, and Cian if the baby is a boy. Her pregnancy had actually been relatively uneventful until she started having contractions at her last doctor’s appointment. He had timed them while we were there and he told us to check into the hospital. It took awhile but her water finally broke about an hour ago and she’d been pushing for the last half hour. I proposed to her a week after her Luna Ceremony, and of course both our families were there when it happened. It didn’t take long for my mother and Shelly to plan the most outrageous wedding. Siobhan wasn’t in the mood to even off

  • Alpha of the Dead   Chapter 70

    (Tiernan’s P.O.V) Siobhan was absolutely beautiful, dressed in gold and black, and looking like a Goddess damn snack. After we grasped hands and built that pack connection for her, I kissed her as if my life depended on it, and that’s when I smelled it…the subtle change in her scent. Her wildflower and honeysuckle scent had a hint of something else; cinnamon. She’s pregnant! Our mate is pregnant with our pup! Steele roars out, strutting around in the back of my mind. I don’t think she knows. She hasn’t said anything about feeling any type of nausea or anything like that. She needs to take a test, now. Before we go to the reception. How did we not realize the change this morning? Because you were too busy getting your dick wet and Tala was being a tease to me. Makes sense. We walk down the dais, hand-in-hand, making our way back up the aisle and into the packhouse. I pull her up towards our bedroom, and she gives me a puzzled look. “Tiernan, we don’t h

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) Day of Luna Ceremony I woke up with a moan, and the feeling of a hot tongue flicking my clit and two fingers in my pussy. “Good morning kitten,” Tiernan says, pulling his face away from my pussy for just a moment. “Good morning, Alpha.” I moan as his tongue goes back to working my clit. His tongue is drawing figure eights against my clit and his fingers are pounding into me, helping me reach that precipice of pleasure. Then he stops. I growl and glare down at him. “Who said you could stop?” I growl out. “Oh, is little kitten in charge? I don’t think so.” He says, before grabbing me around the waist and flipping me over. He grabs my hips and raises my ass right into the air before his hand comes down repeatedly on my ass. The pain eventually turns into pleasure and on the final smack, I cum. Hmm, who knew a spanking could get me off. I think to myself. “Now that that’s out of the way.” He growls, before slamming his cock in

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) Several days later Walking down the hallway towards the top of the stairs, I couldn’t help but look back on the last few days. Patrick and Camilla are now fully mated and marked. He admitted to being an asshole and jumping to conclusions about what Camilla would have wanted. Anders and High Priestess Winona are back at the Coven of the Crystal Rose, and Artis went back to her sleuth with Alpha Brock. There’s something about Alpha Brock though that makes it difficult to be around him for long periods of time. Like his presence is oppressive, suffocating. Artis doesn’t feel it but I do, it feels like when Tiernan gets angry and taps into his Celestial magic, his presence becomes oppressive as well. Preston and Julia have settled into life as a mated couple really well in Virginia. Julia is beyond ecstatic to be in the Human Realm learning things about our way of life, though it’s not much different from the Lunar Realm. She got a job working in the archive

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) After packing all up my apartment, Tiernan talked me out of calling my brother and told me it was best that I wait to talk to him in person. He said that Camilla coming back with us may put this whole situation to rest. So now we are on a private jet, heading back to California with Artis, Anders, Camilla, and Cat Cobain. Tiernan did his best to try and talk me into rehoming him, but that wasn’t going to happen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone hate an animal so much in my life, but it seemed that the feeling was mutual with Cat Cobain. Tiernan had one of the warriors come and collect us in one of the pack’s SUVs. The ride back to the pack territory was full of tension, mostly because of Artis and Camilla. We pulled into the pack territory, where Winona was going to meet Anders and stay for the funeral pyres. Artis tenses next to me and I look through the windshield of the car to see Alpha Brock standing next to Patrick. “You okay?” I whisper to her.

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) I was going to kill Patrick! Here he was, bitching about me rejecting Tiernan and he goes and does the same to Camilla! “I’m going to kill him.” I growl out. “Woah, that’s premeditation right there, Siobhan. Keep it to yourself.” Nerina says. “Who does he think he is!? Rejecting his mate but coming at me all types of ways when I was rejecting Tiernan!? That mother fucking weasel!” I shout. “Okay, this meeting has come completely off the rails. Agent Williams, you need to calm down, now. We will finish the meeting then you can pick a spot in the rose garden to practice your…gardening.” Nerina says, using air quotes for the word ‘gardening’. I couldn’t help but go quiet, only blinking in astonishment. Did she just tell us to practice murdering our brother? Um, honestly? I have no idea and that scares me. “Now that everyone is calmed down, I will be reaching out to the FBI field office in Northern California for three transfers. I assume

    (Siobhan’s P.O.V) We arrived in Virginia and when we arrived at baggage claim, there was a driver waiting for all of us. “Did you order a car for us?” “No, I ordered a limo for everyone. No point ordering separate cars, that’s just a ridiculous expense.” Tiernan answered. He greets the man wearing a suit and holding a sign that says “Hathaway/Williams” and tells him that we will have half a dozen bags of luggage. Once we all piled into the limo, we were off, dropping everyone at their various houses saving Camilla and me for last since we lived in the same complex. I was excited to see Cat Cobain, getting pictures from my neighbor Doris just wasn’t the same. If Steele eats Cat Cobain, I’m chopping his balls off and turning them into a coin purse. He won’t touch Cat, and if he did, I’ll help with castration. I was anxious to see Tiernan and Steele’s reaction to Cat Cobain since basically all werewolves, except for myself and Camilla, had issue
