I finally came home at 10pm, Violet had me out all that time after lunch. That girl could seriously talk. I had fun though, conversation came easy with her and she took me all over the shops. I loved the way it was set up, all the business hustle and bustle was in the south part of the territory and it had a city vibe to it. However, she knew so many people. I can't count how many times we stopped to talk to random people, the girl had enough social in her for the both of us.It's 11pm and I'm ready for bed, walking out of the bathroom drying my face I lay down in bed, hoping Nisha comes to my room soon for some snuggles. I just close my eyes when Roman mindlinks me.'Come to my room.' he says and cuts the link. What the hell? Demanding ass alpha. I am too tired to fuck!I crawl out of bed just as Nisha comes in. I picked him up while walking out. Shit, which one is his room? I remember Seth telling me I was close to his room but I don't remember how many doors down he said.'Come
"Hmmm. Fine." Amara says before she crashes her lips on mine. I kiss her back hungrily, bringing my hands down to her ass and squeezing roughly. She sucks in a sharp breath and I instantly smell her arousal. It swirls around me like a drug and I have to have her.I flip her over and kiss down her body, all the way down to her clit. I can see her legs shaking and I lean in and lick a line from her ass to her clit before I swirl my tongue over it and around it. She tastes so fucking sweet I stifle a groan. When I feel her whole body start trembling I add two fingers into her soaking pussy and it only takes two thrusts before her walls clamp down on them and her hands go to my hair. I let her ride it out until she pushes my head away, gasping for air.Coming up to her face, I smash my lips against hers and force my tongue into her mouth. She locks her legs around my waist, grinding herself over my cock. Fuck she felt fucking divine and I wasn't even fucking her yet.Pushing one of her
It's later now, around 10pm. Roman and I are outside getting ready to go for a run. He's leading me to the forest. We're both wearing robes since we spent the entire day naked anyways. We ended up having sex 3 more times, what can I say? It's never enough.The moon is almost full, so the entire forest is bathed in moonlight and it looks so beautiful. I shrug my robe off as he shifts. His wolf is magnificent, he's huge with fur almost as black as Tamisra's, brown eyes and huge paws could easily crush my head. I walk up to him and run my fingers through his fur and kiss his big head. He rubs against me and licks my stomach while I giggle.I'm a little nervous as I call Tamisra forward. Alpha Gunther was pissed my wolf was black, normally only Alpha wolves were black. In fact, I don't think there's ever been a recorded black wolf who wasn't an alpha. She was so black she had hints of blue, which most alphas don't have, her aura was normal and she was actually on the smaller side, so he
Today is the day we're supposed to meet Blair again, I'm pretty nervous. I don't really know what this will entail and I wonder if she'll be able to lift the barrier spell and if it will hurt. Sophie suggested that I had witch genes, thinking maybe it skipped a couple generations on one of my parents' sides. It didn't feel right, but it was possible.I didn't tell Sophie about my escapades with Roman, she knows I'm seeing someone though. It didn't feel like the right time and I wouldn't ask her to keep anything else from her mate. She was already hiding my location from Gamma Colton, who would definitely tell Felix anything he knew about me.She did tell me though that Felix has been a complete ass, taking all his anger out on the pack members and getting drunk all the time. Serves the dickhead right. Tamisra snarls at my thought of him, she was out for blood. If I ever saw him again, I'd let her take over and do her worst.As I finish up training with Seth and Beta Aston, I see Ro
I sit down on the cushion with my legs crossed while Amara does as Blair instructed her. I think I'm more nervous than she is. When I asked Blair if my magic would help, she said I could try if she failed but I haven't had the right opening to talk with Amara about my demon side. I don't know how she'll react, but hopefully she won't run away screaming."Don't break the salt circle when you're holding her down or you'll fuck everything up. Hear me, Alpha?" Blair says pointing at me. She's the only one allowed to talk to me as such, other than Amara, but it's just who she is. She's been like my second mother, so I'll never get angry with her."Yes ma'am" I responded. I watch as she turns off any lights, closes the curtains, lights candles and takes out several jars from a cabinet. She mixes them all in a mortar and pestle before getting up and approaching us with the concoction in her hand."Hold her down now, Alpha" she says seriouslyI do as I'm told, putting my
I wake up to Roman's alarm, groaning when I realize I have to get up with him too. Today was my first day working in his office, and Gamma Max will be waiting for me to show me what to do. It's just scanning and filing, so hopefully he doesn't need to stick around too long. I liked Gamma Max, but I did not want to be around anyone today. I even thought about going back over to my room, but I would just miss Roman anyways, considering I haven't spent a night on this territory without him since the first day.I was shocked when he told me he was part demon, but it made me feel better about my own possible demon genes. Now that I had time to think about it and accept it, it really wasn't that bad. I don't know who or where in my family the genes came from, but I was relieved to hear it could skip generations, I was worried my mom had cheated on my dad or something. But she wouldn't do that, so it must have just skipped a couple of us."You can come to the office a little late
I'm surprised at how packed these clubs are, it's not even 6pm yet. Violet says this club is poppin' at all hours of the day. When we walk in, we go straight up to the bar and order our drinks. Gemma gets a vodka cran, Violet a jack and coke while I go for a gin and tonic. We throw back 3 rounds before taking our 4th out to the dance floor.Violet is grinding her ass on me when I hear a terrifying growl and she's ripped away from me. I look up and see an absolutely delicious, ripped woman with a short faded hair cut. I put my hands up in surrender when I realize what's happening."MINE" she booms at me"Don't worry I'm boning her brother. She's all yours" I say as I look at Violet who's staring at me wide eyed. I laugh at her shocked expression, and when she looks up into her mates eyes I swear I can physically see the bond snap into place. She wastes no time in turning around and jumping into the girls arms, legs around her waist showing off her buttcheeks. Th
I'm sitting at my desk, filling out paperwork as per usual while Amara has her music playing so she can concentrate on filing her papers. I don't get much work done on these days, because I'm too busy watching her as she swings her head and her hips to whatever song she is playing, or whatever song is stuck in her head. She's been working here with me for about 3 weeks now. I steal another glance at her as she sings along to the song she's playing.'Uh, Alpha we have a problem' my border patrol links me and I'm up in an instant walking outside."Amara, go find Aston." I tell her coldly and she just looks at me, confused"Why? What's wrong?""Something with the borders, I don't want you out here if there's a breach. You're not fully trained. Now please, go" I tell her, leaving no room for arguments. She purses her lips, but doesn't argue.'The Beta from Red Moon pack is here demanding entry' my warrior, Becca, tells me. I instantly see red. That fucker has so
Surrounded by Violet, Serena, Cici, and Sophie, I look at myself in the mirror as Aylin finishes my makeup and Gemma does my hair. Aylin must hold more magic than I thought because she managed to cover up these bags under my eyes. I almost look like I did pre-motherhood, minus the breast pump milking me like a cow. Remind me why I insisted on having my Luna ceremony, the equivalent of my wedding, after I had Delaney? Because I wanted to drink at my own ceremony? It seemed so logical at the time. Now, I wanted to go back in time and slap me upside the head, Aylin style. Delaney screams in Sophie's arms in protest at how long it's taking me to pump. In the hospital, the nurses and pediatrician on the postpartum unit said she lost too much weight by the time she was 24 hours old. It was before my milk supply came in, so they put it down to lack of production, but when I filled up a syringe with colostrum, they had a lactation consultant come see me. She had said Delaney's latch wasn't ef
Three weeks laterI breathe through another contraction. They're coming every five minutes now, but I didn't exactly feel like going to the hospital just to be sent home for another false alarm like I did last week.'Uh, you going to explain why I feel like I'm being ripped apart from the inside every five minutes for the last two hours?' I hear Roman's voice come through my head as I feel the contraction start to come down'It's still early labor, probably. No sense in going to the hospital yet, if it even is actual labor.' I tell him'Alright, well, I'm coming back in and getting the hospital bag, so we're ready. The books said once they're every five minutes, we should think about heading in,' he reminds me.I don't respond just as I'm hit with another contraction and suddenly feel like I peed myself. Oh, good Goddess, here we go. I put my walls up so he doesn't have to feel anything.'Scratch that, my water just broke,' I say, and not even twenty se
One week laterThat's precisely what we did. We had funerals for those that wanted their loved ones buried and ceremonies for those who opted for them to be burned on pyres. Aston, being a ranked member, was burned on a pyre with the entire pack present. We put some of his ashes in an urn necklace for CiCi and then released him into the river.While I've seen Roman tear up, or get choked up, that night, he cried with his head in my lap. He fell asleep after hours, and I didn't dare move a muscle all night. My heart was already broken for him; Aston was Roman's Sophie, but something about seeing my brooding Alpha mate break down like that killed a piece of me.CiCi wasn't doing any better; one of us was still with her almost all the time. I spent a couple nights with her, but mostly Serena was staying with her since they were always connected at the hip anyways. It was an effort to get her to eat or even go outside, but I wouldn't give up on her; both she and Aston des
Roman's POVI hated battle, but I hated the aftermath even more. I made a list of all the fallen I could identify, so I could visit their families later. The ones I couldn't, their family or packmates who saw them fall would have to report to me, and I'd go from there. Max and Seth took Aston's body to the morgue before we were even back.Fuck that hurt. My best friend since we were in diapers, the one who evened out mine and Max's broody demeanors with his stupid ass jokes. Gone. Fucking gone. What was the point? The point of all this death and destruction?I stopped in my tracks, shutting my eyes as they became glossy. His death will gut me until the day I die. The day I die? I'm immortal. Fuck. I could live another thousand years, and I wouldn't have seen him for over nine hundred and fifty of them. How is that fair? And CiCi. I have yet to find anyone who wasn't of Alpha blood, or royalty in Armaros' case, that lived past the first year of their mate dying. But we
I watch in horror as Silas grabs Adonis' face, Silas' red eyes glowing into the night, and Adonis...Adonis goes limp. I waste no time before concentrating on Silas' body and start burning him. He screams, and Adonis goes absolutely feral and proceeds to rip his own body apart. I pull my powers back immediately, and they both stop thrashing. Adonis' eyes are glowing red now, and terror, like no other, seizes me when Silas grabs him by both ears, twisting his neck, and Adonis does nothing to fight back.I look to my father, who is holding his own against the group of vampires attacking him, but can't help me or be distracted without risking his own life. Then, I look around for Aylin, Az, Seth, or anyone to jump in and help, but no one is around."No one is coming to rescue you this time, my sweet Amara," Silas hissesI only stare at him and then at my mate. Maybe...maybe...I slam my mental talons into Roman's mind, but he only whimpers and starts to thrash again.
It's been four days, and Roman's shadows still haven't found any evidence of Silas moving toward his home; it looks like he will be coming to us. He's been rallying all his people into one spot; even people from his kingdom were seen moving out, so everyone is on edge, including me. I suggested moving in once he had them all together, but Roman said it's better to let him think he has the element of surprise, and it will give us the "home-field advantage." I wanted to just get it over with; the stakes are so much higher now. Given that we're unsure if he will lead with those half-Kudde beasts he made, Roman had the security system expanded so my family and I would have time to take off and neutralize that threat.Thayer, Dahlia, and all the troops he planned to send are here. Roman called and updated him on the situation, and he said he'd rather come now if an attack is imminent, so they could get familiar with the land. It was no question whether or not we would be atta
"Let's hear it then. Start with his kingdom's main territory.""His kingdom is not far from here. While he does have armies there, their numbers could be better, and they're his lowest-ranking soldiers, all of his best he took with him. Since he's been tracking Amara over the last couple of months, his favorite Duke has been in charge over there. Outside the wall of the castle and its main village, you'll find crowded poverty. He allowed his people to starve, telling them it would start wars if we hunted humans, wolves, or fae after they stopped donating blood to us. In reality, he cut off all contact and trade with them, allowing his people to believe they were trying to starve us out. That's how he got most of his willing soldiers initially. From there, he made life for anyone who was his soldier comfortable. If you fought for him, you and your family could move over the wall, where you were given the bare minimum food and housing."The room falls into a disgusted silenc
I was finally discharged after my next ultrasound. My powers and Tamisra returned about two hours after my first ultrasound, so I insisted I was ready to go home. But considering it was already eight at night, Roman and the nurses convinced me to stay. I'm at least allowed to eat again, and goddess, I'm fucking ravenous. I feel like I can't eat enough. Roman and the nurse, Jess, tried to get me to slow down, but at my ultrasound, Dr. Crowen said as long as I can handle it, I should eat whenever I want to keep up with baby girl's growth rate.Speaking of, she gained another two ounces overnight. It didn't sound like a big deal to me, but I have no knowledge of anything in the medical field. Dr. Crowen said it was very significant, given that wolf pups are expected to gain two ounces weekly at this stage. Everything points to me going into labor at the end of the month, which I don't want to think about.But this isn't exactly something I can just block out. Thankfull
There's a knock on the door before it opens, and the same person who took me to my MRI, Justin, I think, comes in with a wheelchair. After my MRI, they brought me to a different room with a bigger bed that looked a lot more annoying to move.Honestly, I could have walked. Now that my supernatural healing kicked in, I feel fine. Starving, but fine. The doctors said I have to eat very slowly to get my digestive system working properly again and that if I ate an entire jar of peanut butter like I wanted to, I would just throw it back up immediately and feel like shit. So, my new best friends were crackers with peanut butter and a side of chicken broth."Hello again, Alpha, Luna. Dr. Crowen is ready for you in the ultrasound room," he says as he locks the wheelchair.I sit up and swing my legs around to get out of bed. Immediately, Roman and Seth jump up, trying to help me. I roll my eyes."I told you both, I'm fine!" I say, getting up and sitting in the chair
