~Liam~
Her scent was driving me crazy and she just kept on shoving that naughty little ass of hers on my face like she was taunting me. This mate of mine kept teasing me, unknowingly, and my head was starting to hurt.
The mating ceremony was over. I would’ve wanted to be there with her and show her off to the other males. My mate, my Luna, my fated woman. I would’ve claimed her proudly as mine so no one else would even dare lay their lustful eyes on her. She was mine for life and I was hers, at least a part of me.
The moonless night wasn’t of a hindrance to me. She probably didn’t know that I was channeling Luca’s energy to help me see in the dark. But doing so also heightened my sense of smell and I couldn’t help myself from taking in her scen
~Anna~Well-built and lean, he stood bythe doorway, his frame blocking the only exit. I recognized the voice, havingheard it at times on days I was allowed to take a stroll near the traininggrounds. Looking up, I saw my best friend, who I had barely seen for years. Istill considered him my best friend, though I didn’t know if it was the samewith him. He called me “Bella”, my second name, and he was the only one whocalled me by that name; everyone else preferred to call me “Anna”.His beach blonde hair was a mess, which meant he had justreturned from a run, but there was a weird scent coming from him. His thin lipswere set in a straight line, his blue orbs set on me, and though he wore aserious expression, it was the first t
~Anna~The big white spot of light coming from the flashlight lit the way. Here we were, walking back out into the woods, into a secluded area that was reserved for the Head Gamma. It was where my father and I resided before he passed away and I was taken to the mansion to live the rest of my days, serving the pack. I was forbidden to return to our house, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to, the place was too special for me.I hadn’t seen it for two years, and with every step we took, we were getting closer to it. I prepared myself for this day but knowing I’d have to face the past as soon as I step foot inside the house made an uneasy feeling rise in my stomach. In a way, I was glad I didn’t have to do it alone; my best friend was with me.Unsure
~Anna~His hand held mine tightly; warm, just like before. To admit, it did feel right to be around him. From this simple gesture, I had to stop my facial muscles from smiling. Goddess knew I wanted to. Seeing him sulk like a child was just so out of character, it was a little cute.His hold brought back the butterflies in my stomach, and the weird tingles that only his touch could awaken. There was no denying it – he really was my mate.This was surprising, especially to someone like me! Getting mated to an Alpha – lucky! Getting mated to two Alphas – the Goddess must be planning something for me. This mate thing sure changed the direction of my life completely.There were two things I was certain of for now – I wante
~Anna~“This is my home,” I said proudly.I was born and raised here. All my years I had only known a life that revolved around here. Though it was all about to change, I would still consider this my home, not this pack, not anymore, but this house which bore witness to my Father’s life, my Mother’s, and mine.There was no going back in time to relive those moments. Nostalgia lingered in every corner of these four walls, but it was still home. I refused to merely call it a house.“If you say so,” he said. “There’s really nothing here but us and posts with walls and a roof.”“That’s called a house. It means more to me than that and I would like to leave now,” I snapped and ma
~Flynn~I had to hurry. I know I’d been the biggest asshole to Anna that she’d probably never forgive me, but it gave me hope – what we did and how she stood up for me.Goddess, she’s brave.My father, her father - they saved her that day from the attack. I knew it, the entire pack knew… but it was hard on us to accept that they were gone.And… I was blinded by my own anger that I took it out on her. The whole pack blamed her for it and shunned her. If they were alive right now, they’d be ashamed of what we did.All I wanted was to make him proud; all these years I failed him, as a son, as an Alpha.
~Liam~No words could describe howrelieved I was that she agreed to come to my pack. I didn’t give a fuck aboutthe conditions, but I did intend on following her “rules” for now. It’d be a lotof fun playing with her once we get back.We left the house and I asked her for directions on wheremy men could meet up with us. She was shocked to hear that I had alreadyprepared for it, but guided me, nonetheless. I wasn’t allowed to get close toher but having her near me was enough, for now.“So…uhm… you’re really alright with me being wolf-less?”she asked, again.Ever since we left the house, she kept asking me the samequestion after every ten minutes or so
~Liam~My mate and my sis engaged in a conversation between them. I wished I could see her face. She seemed to be more relaxed with Lexy. I guess that was normal – she saved her life.We soon reached a dirt track road, and three black SUVs were parked, waiting for us. Three of my men, all of them wearing casual clothes, were standing in front of the driver’s side.“Gale!” Lexy exclaimed the moment they came into view.The kid standing in the center who looked to be in his early twenties, with reddish-brown hair accented with pink highlights, smiled and waved to us. He walked over to us and stopped in front of Anna.“Luna,” he said with a wide grin on his face. “I’m glad to finally meet you. I’
~Liam~“You got lucky,” Gale said as he drove.“The Goddess mated her to me,” I replied. “Luck has nothing to do with it.”“If you say so. Have you told her about her yet?”“No.”“What? Didn’t have the time?” he asked. “You’re going to break her heart, man.”“Break her heart? Have you been watching those films again?”“Like I have a choice,” he muttered. “She shut you up good though, that’s a first for a long time now.”The one person who could instantly calm me down when I snapped was my first mate. She was a kind soul, and she wouldn’t let me end up in situations that I’d later regret. My light – she was taken from

A shrill scream cut through the otherwise silent mansion of the Rose family. Liam awoke, startled, and in a speed that the human eye couldn’t follow, he opened Alia’s bedroom door with a bang.The light switched on, illuminating the little girl shaking in her bed. Tears brimmed her eyes, threatening to spill. She breathed harshly, raising her arms to ask for her Daddy’s comfort.Liam’s gaze shifted momentarily to the windows, which were, much to his relief closed, the curtains exactly the way they were when he left her.The boys’ bedroom door opened as Liam stalked to Alia. He raised the girl by her waist and let her down on his lap.“Daddy,” she cried, burying her face in his chest.Liam stroked her hair and gently leaned forward and back. “It’s only a nightmare, baby. Daddy’s here.”“You can put those down,” he said to the boys. Aylan carefully put down the bag of wolfsbane powder.“No bad guys?” asked Amiry.“N
“I’m thinking of adopting,” said Gale as he ran a hand though his hair. “I haven’t talked to Andrix about it yet, but he won’t be averse at the idea, would he?”Rigel calmly drank his glass of bourbon, which was from Liam’s not-so-secret personal collection.“A human kid?” he asked.“No, you fucking dumbass. Do you want the kid to die?” Gale said, scowling.Liam muttered under his breath, something about not having a moment of quiet time for himself as he scanned and signed through a stack of documents. Gray streaks dyed his hair, and lines had begun to show on his face. He had a stubble from having forgotten to shave that morning. It was because of the children jumping up on him before daybreak.Sighing, he signed the last o
~Liam~“AAAHHH!!!” Anna’s screams filled the entire room as our babies pushed their way out. In a few more hours or minutes, we were going to be parents!“AAAHHH!!! Ughm!”I clenched my jaw as she crushed my hands in a death grip. She was sweating profusely, her breathing heavy. Lexy and Helia and nurses were constantly checking on her.I didn’t know what else to do. If I could share the pain with her, I would. The only plan my mind came up with was to talk to her like it would help.“You’re doing great, babe!” I encouraged.I can’t feel my hands.“Breathe… breathe… you’re alright… you’re doing great!”
~Liam~I’d been squeezing a stress ball since morning – Gale’s recommendation. As ridiculous as it looked, it was helping.“Did you hear back from Helia?” I asked as soon as Lexy entered my office.“She’ll be here by tomorrow morning,” she replied, dropping on the sofa like a bag of potatoes. “Are you sure you want to me to handle this, bro? We can ask the humans – they’ve more experience and frankly, I’ve only ever delivered one baby.”We owned hospitals and leaving her in the hands of an expert would maybe lower the risks, but she was a special case.Her blood, her race – if something hocus pocus happened while a human was around, the safest measure would be to kill that human. It would upset her. Then again, she didn’t have to know. Still…“I’m leaving you in charge of preparations,” I said firmly. “If something… starts happening, do whatever you have to save her.”“I want her to make it
~Liam~“Babe, I’m sorry. You told me I can have it.”I ate the last brownie on the fridge and forgot to bake more since I spent the day in the office. For the mean time, I was handling two packs because I didn’t want her to stress herself over pack matters. She was on board with the idea. It gave her more time to read books and nap – she’d been napping at almost after every hour.When she was in the mood for boring paperwork, she’d join me. I enjoyed her company – things finish faster, and her mood would lighten up at the Black Mist Pack’s reports which were usually on their progress on the numerous programs implemented to help stabilize their position.I didn’t get yelled at or pushed away for being
~Rigel~“The little fucker’s asleep.”I grinned in triumph. My carbon copy had been crying for hours, keeping everyone wide awake at twenty minutes past twelve on a Friday night! Sabri was lying in bed, her eyes closed, tired from the sleepless nights and early mornings.I wouldn’t let Mom take care of my kid while I slept. She needed to rest, too, after a long day of feeding the pack.I could train for hours, spar with every warrior willing to get bruises, but holding a kid and dancing him around for hours… every muscle in my arms screamed at me to let them down on my sides. Funny thing was that he didn’t even weigh much.A settled man. None of the guys would’ve expected that I’d be the first one. My bachelor days were over, and yet despite the added responsibilities, I was… happier?I had a beautiful queen in bed, and a little prince in my arms. What more could I ask for?Mom was ov
~Anna~“You look so beautiful, Anna,” said Lexy, dabbing at her eyes.“Thank you, Lexy… for everything,” I said and gave her a tight hug.“Won’t you at least tell me what happens after? I heard Aunty J stressing over the menu for tonight.”I didn’t know how the ceremony would proceed, and they’d been keeping their mouths sealed.“Well… we, your loyal subjects, enjoy a night of feasting and drinking and some alone time with our mates…”I sniggered, surprised that she could be so bold when it came to Carson.“… while you and bro copulate somewhere else.”Oh, Goddess…
