AmeliaMaven and Bennett have been working hard contacting other packs to warn them about this group of rogues. Meanwhile, Grace, Maggie, Sophie, and I all worked towards the Luna ceremony.The days passed quickly, and the Luna ceremony is supposed to happen tonight. It gives me a lot of anxiety knowing that this kind of responsibility is about to weigh on my shoulders, but I feel at peace knowing that I have Maven by my side.Maven comes down the stairs and heads straight for the door, it’s like he didn’t even notice I was in the room. I frown and say, “I’ll be back.”The girls murmur their understanding as I rush to the door to follow my mate. He’s walking fast and his shoulders seem tense. I jog to catch up with him before calling his name, “Maven?”He turns to see me and then smiles at me as he says, “Hey, is everything okay?”I nod slowly as I say, “I was about to ask you the same thing. Where are you off to in such a hurry?”He breathes out shaking his head as he says, “Just try
Amelia The Luna ceremony is ready, and everyone has left me and joined the crowd I take a deep breath knowing that Maven is about to announce me to come forward and I will pledge myself to this pack. In this moment, I’m grateful that our pack isn’t the biggest one out there. The thought of so many people watching me makes me uncomfortable. There’s a light tap on the door and then Beta Bennett puts his head in and smiles at me. He tells me, “You look great, Amelia. Are you ready?”I nod my head nervously and I hear Maven say, “It’s time to introduce your new Luna, Amelia.”Bennett moves and opens the door wide for me to talk out. I head a sharp intake of breath as people stare at me. My long lace sleeves cover my hands as I walk and there’s a lace train flowing behind me. Maven stares at me and for a moment his mouth was dropped open in awe, but he quickly collects himself and looks at me proudly. I walk up to him, and he offers me his hand as I take a step onto the podium. I noti
AmeliaThis is Penelope Fox.My sister.The one we believe is the ‘white wolf’.The protective feeling that I already felt from the moment I first laid eyes on her comes surging back and is stronger than before.But I must stay reserved. I don’t truly know who these people are. I look at the patrolmen and say, “They can come back to the pack house with me. Alpha Knight would want to see them.”The men bow their heads but one of them looks up at me with a concerned look in his eyes and he says, “Luna, with all due respect, I don’t think you should be left alone. Could I accompany you to the pack house?”I nod my head and smile softly, “Of course.”I turn to walk back, and I can hear the patrolman, Alpha Stone, and Penelope Fox behind me. I ask the patrolman, “What’s your name?”“Marco, Luna.” He answers me with a slight bow of his head. I smirk and shake my head, “No need to be so formal, Marco.”“As you wish, Luna.”I roll my eyes from his words and continue the trek back to the pack
MavenPenelope Fox is a spitfire. I don’t know what I was expecting but definitely not this. She looks sweet, cute, innocent, but man when she gets upset, she lets you know it.It’s interesting, it’s obvious she’s never been in a pack setting before because she doesn’t realize that you can’t speak to Alpha’s this way. The only reason I’m allowing this is because she is Amelia’s sister, she is Donovan’s mate, and I believe she is the white wolf.I show them their room and where my office is and I sit and wait for them. I can’t help but smile when I smell Amelia’s sweet scent and the smell of cinnamon rolls. She walks in with a tray in her hands that has a plate of the cinnamon rolls, a bowl of fruit, and a pot of coffee along with four mugs.She sets it down on the edge of my desk before walking over to me and asking, “Are you okay?”I chuckle, “I should be asking you that. How do you feel now that you have met her?”Amelia bites her lower lips and moves her gaze away from me. My head
AmeliaI don’t know what happened. My wolf was stirring inside me, anxious like she needed to be released immediately and then I started getting a splitting migraine.It literally felt like someone was trying to pry my head open with their bare hands.The only think I could think is that maybe Ross was trying to get into my head again but because I wasn’t asleep it wasn’t working right.Everything happens quickly. Maven picks me up and brings me to the pack hospital, I’m in so much pain that it’s blinding. My ears are ringing and I’m unable to focus, I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m terrified.Maven is by my side the whole time even as he frantically calls Cora and as the doctor tries to take my blood. Maven has to hold me down so the doctor can get to my veins. My body was unnaturally convulsing.I can see the panic in Maven’s face, and I want to reassure him, but I can’t. I don’t know if I’ll be okay and currently, I’m in so much pain that speaking feels impossible.When Cora
AmeliaCora looks at me with a comforting smile. I trust in her and that she knows what she was talking about, but I also couldn’t help but wonder where she has gotten her vast knowledge from.She tells me, “The guardian wolf was created to protect the white wolf, hence your large size. The white wolf is meant to heal and help her pack be stronger and the guardian wolf is meant to do exactly what a guardian means. You would protect her and keep her safe.”Maven sits down on the edge of my bed and holds my hand. I keep my other arm on my chest on the sheet I have covering my naked body.Maven says, “So, when you mentioned the ‘white wolf’ to me, you knew that it actually existed.”She nods slowly and says, “I did.”There’s a knock on the door and Maven opens it and in walks Penelope. She brushes her black hair behind her ear, and she stops when she sees Cora. She tilts her head in confusion as she says, “Cora? What are you doing here?”Then she looks over at me and asks, “Are you okay?
AmeliaOnce the doctor cleared me, we went back to the pack house. The only people that were allowed inside other than us was Donovan, Penelope, Cora, and Maggie.Maggie and Cora were at the kitchen talking like long lost friends. It made me wonder if they actually knew one another.Penelope looks over at me as we walk inside and she says, “I see the resemblance.”She surprises me when she spoke, but I can’t help but smile at her words. I nod my head, “I do too. It’s weird. Our hair color is vastly different, but our faces…”“Are eerily similar.” She completes my sentence, making me laugh as I nod in agreement. Donovan looks over at Maven and then at me and he says, “I may not know you, but I’m sorry for any distress that we have caused. It isn’t our intention. If you are feeling up to it, could we figure everything out now?”I look back at Maven and say, “I’m feeling up to it as long as it’s okay with you.”He nods and walks over to me so we can sit beside one another, Donovan and Pe
AmeliaThis is awkward.Penelope and Donovan sit across from us and we all stare at one another awkwardly, having no idea where to start with all of this. Yet, we all know that it would help our bond be stronger if we attempted to have a relationship with one another.Penelope says, “How about we start with something easy? How did you two meet?”Maven looks at me with a playful smirk and I know that he’s letting me take the lead. Do we talk about the first night I saw him and helped him even though I didn’t know his name?Or is the first true time we met after he saved me from the hands of the elders?I say, “Well, I was new to town and was in my cottage when there was a knock on my door. Maven stumbled in, injured, and he passed out. I didn’t even know his name, but I helped him recover. I left because I didn’t want him to know who I was… but it didn’t matter. Later the next day some of his Elders found me and called him in. They wanted to punish me because I had been exiled from my
Magnolia Knight I run through the pack as fast as I can as I try to beat Henry to the lake. He gave me a one minute advantage, but we both know that it will not be good enough. Not whenever he has his wolf and I don’t. Yet I still play the game. It’s fun, so why not play around with my best friend? His wolf suddenly jumps over me, making me gasp, and it turns around and looks at me. Its tail wags, indicating its playfulness, and I laugh at it. I swear his wolf acts like a pup and it’s one of the cutest things that I’ve ever seen!His wolf tips its head down at me and lowers its body down so that I can ride on him the rest of the way. My legs are burning from how fast I was running and I’m out of breath, so I’m not going to turn down a chance to relax for a minute. I get on his wolf and nuzzle my face into its dirty blonde fur, and I hold on. Once it feels me lightly tug on its fur, it takes off. I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of the wind in my hair as it surges us forward.
Amelia We waited two years before we finally decided to get married. We wanted our daughter to be able to be a part of the ceremony and be our flower girl and we wanted her to actually be able to walk down the aisle. We picked out this big poofy and sparkly pink dress for her and she loved it because she loves all things sparkly and pink. We learned during the ceremony that her favorite thing to do was spin so that her dress would flare out. She spun around so much that we are lucky that she didn't throw up during the ceremony. I am so grateful for everything. I never could have imagined this in my life. And man, Maven cleans up good! The moment I saw him, all I wanted to do was take him to our room and make love. He had his dark hair combed back, his beard meticulously trimmed, his tattoos were covered by his navy blue suit, and all I wanted to do was grab him by his gold tie and pull him to me and kiss the daylights out of him. It was hard to wait through the entire ceremony
AmeliaI waited eagerly for Maven to return home.I was so happy when I got his call and he said that everything went smoothly. He told me about all the drama and I agreed with him. It sounds off. Cora made it seem like Kyle was this bloodthirsty maniac, but... he wasn't.It doesn't matter. All of this is finally over.I sit in our room staring at the ultrasound picture I got today. It turns out I'm further along than I thought. I'm almost halfway through the pregnancy. The baby is measuring and looking great. It is definitely a girl, just like Cora said!But the crazy thought is that it's only a couple of months before I give birth and our little Magnolia Jade will join us.When Maven gets home, I show him the ultrasound, and he cried, but by the next morning he went into a full on dad panic mode. He started doing everything he could to prep for her arrival.Three months passed.It was a long labor, but I finally gave birth the Magnolia Jade Knight. She looked exactly like her daddy.
MavenToday is finally the day. My group and I already left home and we are on our way to the White Fang Pack. We will meet with the other groups and invade. We are going to try to request that Aloha Kyle concede. But the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. More than likely there will be a lot of bloodshed. But unfortunately, that’s a necessary part of war. When we get there, I am overwhelmed by the amount of people backing us. We are well over two times the size of the White Fang Pack. This should be easy. The three other Alphas, Alpha Marco of Aztec Moon, Alpha Alfred of Red River, and Alpha Jared of the Golden Pack, were all waiting for me so that we can walk up to the borders togetherI take a deep breath, ready to shift at a moment's notice, but then… nothing happens. No one is here. They should at the very least have a patrol out here, but there's absolutely no one.I press my lips together. This isn't normal. We walk slowly into the pack with our warriors behind u
MavenThings are finally turning up. All the packs I spoke to were willing to help me. It turns out that Alpha Kyle has burned quite a few bridges during his short reign as Alpha. Thankfully, that works in my favor.I try not to talk about it too much around Amelia. I know it stresses her out when I mention the White Fang Pack, and I don't want to cause her any unnecessary stress in her delicate state. Almost all of our pack members are back home. We're giving our warriors two days to rest and then half of them will be coming with me for the attack while the other half stays here.After talking with Bennett and Grace and them agreeing that our idea about Ross and his group was a good one, Amelia spoke to our architect and is working to build a house for them. We don't know when we'll see Ross again or if he and his group will accept our help, but we want to get started on this. I'm just grateful that Amelia is so happy and that she is keeping herself busy. Now that our pack members a
AmeliaIt is good to be able to go back home so fast.Cora seemed closed off for most of our trip, but she enjoyed watching us. I noticed her eyes were always on one of us and she spoke with Maggie a lot.It must get lonely for her living out there all by herself. Although her home is beautiful and large, it must be incredibly lonely. I make a mental note for us to invite her to visit more often and not just because we need something. She has helped us out so much that I view her as part of our family and I want to treat her that way.As soon as we get back to our pack, Maven tells me and Maggie to stay in the car and I watch as he and Bennett walk into the pack house. It doesn't take long before two wolves come bursting through the door and both Maven and Bennett's wolves are right on their tails as they scatter.Maggie shakes her head and says, "Oof, that was not a good idea on their side. What makes Kaden and Veronica think they could outrun an Alpha and a Beta?"I shrug, "In Kaden
MavenAmelia and I lie down in the bed snuggling one another. She looks up at me and says, "Are we on board for the name Magnolia? Or should we do something different?""I like Magnolia, we should focus on the middle name.""I think a shorter name would be good. Like Magnolia Ash or Magnolia Eve or Magnolia Jade. What do you think?""I like Magnolia Jade, it seems like a little bit of sweet with a nice edge to it."Amelia rubs her hand over her stomach and says, "Magnolia Jade Knight... I love it."I ask, "How are you feeling about everything?"Her lower lip puckers and she says, "I don't know. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. It's weird to me that the White Fang Pack is attacking because of me, but it's not like I knew Alpha Kyle that well. I just knew how he and his Luna were together and his Luna was an insanely jealous person.""Well, at least we know what's going to happen and that helps us have the element of surprise.""What packs are you contacting?" She asks as she play
AmeliaIt didn't take long for Maven and I to pack and once we were done we knew that it was time for us to go. I look around our room with a hand on my stomach. I hope that we won't be gone for too long. I want this place to be our home and I want to prepare our child's nursery here.As if he knew what I was thinking, Maven came behind me and hugged me, rubbing his large hands on my stomach and he says, "We'll be back before you know it, love, and we can decorate and do whatever you want for our little one's room."I breathe out, "I just hate to leave."He kisses my cheek and says, "I know, but we'll be back in no time."He grabs our things and we walk to the staircase and I see Maggie and Cora waiting for us. I take a deep breath and gather my courage. Everyone is okay, everyone will be safe, we have to do this.We all walk out to the car and then Maven drives and Cora sits in the passenger seat so she can easily tell him where to go. Maggie grabs my hand because she can sense my an
Amelia Cora looked concerned as she walked into our room and says, "I need Amelia to come with me, tonight."Maven sputters, "Wh-what?"She comes to my side and says, "I know this is sudden. I know you don't want to leave Maven, but please, listen to me and trust in me, okay?"I look at Maven and then back at Cora and ask, "What's going on?"She breathes out, "A girl just came in through the door and said she's back. Her name is Sophie-" my eyes bulge out of my head and I question, "Sophie's back?!"Cora nods and says, "From the sound of your voice, it sounds like she's a friend, but Amelia, you can't trust her. There's something off with her aura. You can't be near her. I don't even want her to touch you. Please, come with me."I look over at Maven, and his eyebrows are furrowed as he is processing. Sophie was one of my closest friends before she just randomly left. Of course I want to see her. But we should trust in Cora... shouldn't we?Maven says, "Amelia and I need to talk. Are y
