This chapter may have been more gruesome than I was intending initially, but it works with the story and the darker materials within the story. I would love feedback from my lovely readers, though, so please drop me a line and let me know what you think so far.
Kaiya I am ready to leap from the vehicle as soon as we pull up to the packhouse and I see Amina climbing out of her car. “I’ll have someone bring you things in, Amina. I have had a suite prepared for you,” Dylan calls out as he attempts to make me slow my pace, but I am too excited to see my old friend and smother her in affection. I leap into Amina’s arms and I hear Dylan laugh behind me, “I’m sorry, Amina. I tried to slow my mate down and failed. I hope you were braced for impact. She might be tiny but she is mighty.” “You were not kidding when you said Dylan is different around you,” Amina chuckles. “He’s actually humorous.” “I will pretend I didn’t hear anything. I am a serious Alpha, you know,” Dylan says with a raised brow and smirk before kissing the top of my head. “Let’s show Amina her room, Sweetpea.” We go to the Beta wing and Amina looks at me pointedly. “Welcome to your new home, future Beta Amina,” I say as Dylan unlocks a door. We are both surprised to see it p
Ace It has taken weeks to reach the summit even at the pace of my wolf, Aspen. The way has been fraught with difficulties and now I face another. She looks beautiful as she takes human form, but I know who this is. She is said to be ancient, a daughter of Medusa, but she is not quite as ancient as that. She is Naga and her Gorgon genes as well as witch genes make her powerful, but she is hardly over a century old, though she looks to be twenty.“How dare you come to my home and not bring me gifts!” She snarls.“I was not informed I needed gifts, however, I have something I can give to you. It is not much and is just a humble offering, but it is what I have,” I reply.“I see your mind and know what you desire and why,” she says in a cold voice.“You know much of what your mate has endured is your doing and simply healing her wolf will not make up for ALL the wrongs you have done,” she continues after a scrutinizing glare from her scrapes over my cold form. Even my werewolf body hea
Kaiya A gust of wind and the howling storm woke me up and as heavy as I still felt, sleep did not return easily. Thoughts of Ace’s predicament kept swirling through my mind, even after I felt the weight of my legs return to normal.I must have eventually fallen asleep and now Dylan is kissing my shoulder and rubbing my back to wake me for the snowy day ahead. “Mmm, Dylan! That feels so good, but I don’t want to get up yet,” I mumble.“I know what will wake you up, Kaiya,” Dylan teases as he continues kissing me and rubs my back and shoulders.Soon it becomes apparent that Dylan is extremely turned on and feeling frisky, so I roll underneath him and face him. He instantly bends to claim my lips and then slides his hands up my body to grip my breasts firmly but gently, squeezing my nipples between the thumb and forefinger of each of his strong hands. “Yes!” I moan into his mouth and he takes advantage of the opportunity to deepen the kiss.I grind my crotch against his hard length
Dylan ‘Kaiya, guests are at the border. I need you down here to greet them as they arrive. Are you okay?’ I ask through the mindlink. It is taking her a longer time than it should just to choose a dress from the four I gave her. ‘I’ll be right there, My Sweet Shadow,’ she replies but her voice sounds shaky and winded even. Something seems off about her tone though the reply was simple. I make my way down to the base of the stairs in front of the pak house and wait. It’s ten minutes before I see the cars coming down the street and am just about ready to mindlink Kaiya again when her hand clasps mine and I turn to see her wrapped in the warm wool coat I got her since her wolf can’t help keep her warm. The color of her hair stands out so brightly with the black wool coat and the white snow contrasting the bright strands making the auburn a more vibrant red. My mate is breathtaking! “Did you pick a gown?” I ask, hoping for a response before the cars pull up. “I did and it is going to
Kaiya I was overjoyed when Dylan told me to meet him in his office and Clement and his mate, Marius, were there. They looked worse for wear with fading cuts and bruises, dirty, messy hair and dried blood on their clothing. Marius is around the same size as Dylan height wise, but malnourished so Dylan offered to put them in one of the unused suites in the Beta wing and bring Marius clothes, then he asked Ash if he had something he could spare for clothing. Ash showed up with basic sweats. “Come here and take this key. Wash up and get dressed while I wrangle up some food for the pair of you and come back with it then I will swear you into our pack. You can stay here or with the Omegas in the apartments I am still having renovated for them,” Dylan says with a smile and nod. “Alpha, I was curious how you knew to ask for us, but I see Kaiya beside you and you mentioned apartments for Omegas…are…did…” Clement stumbles over the ending. “Maisey and the others have been inundated into the
Kaiya I told Dylan about the Gamma who arrived last from the far south. I explained about his son and Dylan said he would arrange for the son’s room to be moved further from his father’s since they were not being shown to their rooms until after dinner and he made sure extra guards were posted. I remember how young the boy was when he was brought to the jail to serve ninety days and be tortured for the act of allowing himself to be sodomized. A barbaric and outdated law most packs no longer follow. He was barely eighteen and he was scared and lonely. I remembered him whimpering and how he explained himself to her when she tried to comfort him through the bars of their cells. “My Dad has been coming to me at night ever since my mother died and he said that he knows I like boys so should be able to take a man,” he had said. He had gone on to explain that he was sentenced with no trial because he sought medical help after one session left him sore and bleeding. I am uncertain how lo
Dylan I glare at the Gamma after telling him his son is fine and that my mate has ensured he has everything he may need for the evening. “Your son is well provided for. Don’t let my guards catch you wandering again, tonight,” I grunt before stalking out of the room. I call a guard to watch his door specifically.I return to my suite and smile when Kaiya enters the suite beaming. “They are so perfect! They are going to be the best couple!” Kaiya squeals.“I thought we were the best couple,” I tease.Kaiya pushes my arm and glares before replying, “Technically we are a throuple and one of the three of us is missing from this picture at the moment because he’s off hunting down rare ingredients for the cure for one of us.”“I concede,” I reply but then grab Kaiya and pull her into my arms for a searing kiss.We finally go to bed and get some sleep. Snuggling up with Kaiya in my arms is the best way to sleep and I hope I can do this for all eternity.The sun is just cresting the Horizon
Liam “Liam, we are here! Get out of the car behind me and follow my lead. Stay nearby! You know what I want once we have settled in,” my father says. My stomach churns, but if I fight him or try to disobey things only get worse and I get punished again and again. Is it horrible to wish for the death of your father and your vile Alpha who is hardly any better. I am certain, both would lead to my death. I hope I find my mate at this ball and he is higher ranking. A high ranking mate would mean I could stay in his pack, but he would have to be a Beta or Alpha. I sigh. I know it’s hopeless, but I want so badly to just find my mate and escape. Even if I don’t find my mate, I can’t continue like this. I stare at my phone, texting the online friend I made who is supposed to be at the ball tomorrow night, but won’t be here tonight. I am so looking forward to meeting him. He is from this pack, but has been away at University. Tomorrow he will be home for winter break, just in time for th
Tobias Being a newly awakened pregnant Lycan is strange at best. I am hungry or horny often and now it’s the full moon. So both of my mates will be giving off sexy feromones which makes me even more horny. Gah! I just realized that my younger sister is going through this very same thing at the moment, only she has more mates than I do! That is mortifying. I need to put the entire thought out of my head. It’s bad enough that I can’t train while pregnant so I am overthinking things. “Tobias, stop overthinking. Talk to me if you need to,” Amina says, looking up from the report she is reading. “Or, if it helps you to get out of your head, read over one of these reports for me and see what you can discern from it. Maybe a fresh set of eyes will help me gain a new perspective on this situation.”I stop pacing and sit on the sofa in her office with one of the reports. SHe has been over these a dozen times. It’s the reports flooding in from all over the country about The Riders and The Sh
Damien I don’t mind helping carry things and put them all in the correct rooms of the new house. I don’t even mind putting the furniture together with Miguel. But when we are all done and Miguel sits down to talk with me and voices his concerns, it feels…different. It’s like he really is embracing me as family, which I know we are since he is mated to my mates’ sisters, but I still often feel like an outsider. “While I’m gone, can you please keep an eye on them for me. I know you are training Lena, and Rita and Raiden can both fight, but with them pregnant, I just…Lena can’t protect three pregnant mates alone,” Miguel sighs. “After the full moon, I’m heading out to find Raiden’s twin and birth giving parent.” “We knew that, but I really hope it goes well and you come back soon. I will watch out for them and I will continue training Lena,” I reply. “Afterall, we are family and family takes care of one another.” I don’t know what else I can say. It’s not like I can assure him they
Sorry I disappeared, I have had some major family stuff happen, but will resume updates in the coming weeks. They may only be 2 or 3 per week for now, but I am aiming to work back up to daily updates. I didn't mean to leave everyone hanging and I have to catch up on where in the story I am so that I can continue from there. Hopefully, some of the stuff getting in the way of me writing will be handled more permanently soon.Thank you for your patience in the meantime.I believe I have less than 20 chapters left in part 2 (give or take depending on how long some scenes take to write) then we will be moving on to part 3. So far part 2 has gone in directions I didn't forsee when I first planned it, but I like where it has gone better than the original plan. I fully intend parts 3 and 4 to be packed with action and more surprises. And hope to finish the book by the end of June or July.
Amina Today is moving day. Damien, Tobias and I are helping Lena and her mates move into their new home. As we drop the children off in the nursery with the other young ones I nod at Kaiya when she mindlinks me that she has noticed how unsettled Xavier has become when he isn’t near Amal. Both have increased their tantrums and upset when apart over the last several weeks. I am uncertain how we can fix it without making a permanent space for the kids to have as their space, maybe the suite they stay in during our heat and rut cycles needs to be their nursery and all of our children will move into that space and have one or two of us or permanent sitters there with them. I know my mother would gladly permanently help raise her grandchildren. Xavier’s concern for his little mate’s safety is heartwarming, but it leaves me with a feeling in the pit of my stomach. The heir is worried about a war we know is coming, but have never told him about. I steady my mind and focus on the task at
Tobias I know what my sister and her mates have been doing during this heat and rut cycle. I refuse to think too much about it. I don’t even like thinking too much about what we did last cycle, yet I crave the experience again. Is that sick and deranged? I have two amazing mates and I love being with them, but for some reason the Vampire got under my skin. It must have to do with his powers. It’s dizzying, thinking of how twisted this all is, but I climb out from between Damien and Amira and make my way to the bathroom to relieve myself and spot my gradually rounding belly in the mirror. I caress the little baby bump before making my way to the kitchen. I have been pulled off patrols, but am allowed to guard Amina and instruct but not take part in training. I dislike feeling useless, but I suppose spawning the next generation isn’t exactly useless. We live in a supernatural world and always have, but it seems lately even that has taken some turns that feel surreal. I’m uncertain wh
Antony This full moon has been unusual to say the least. None of our mates has knotted, which is strange, but I was told it is part of Draknar’s powers. He can prevent us from knotting so that we can keep going, not that I knott anyone, but our other mates usually knott one another or Knott me. I enjoy being knotted. I know not everyone is a fan of being knotted, but maybe because I am an Omega, or maybe because it makes me feel more connected to my mates, I enjoy it. I am enjoying all the wild sex and am looking forward to Miguel fucking me in Lycan form. Rita will be getting a Lycan form as well, but I am uncertain how that will work or when it will happen. My life is changing a lot, but carrying a baby for my mates is bound to change it a lot more. Once this baby is born, and the other babies that our mates are having come along our lives will change forever, but I have wanted this for years now. Draknar hasn’t been with me yet and I know he intends to before we are done. He wat
Raiden I wake up and look around me. My mates are all around me and Draknar is sitting on a chair watching over us as he leisurely sips a glass of what looks like wine but I know is blood. “Aren’t you a tasty Fae?” Draknar hums. “You are the first hybrid Werewolf/Chimera Fae I have met. In some time. I have met other kinds of Fae that have bred with werewolves, but your kind is rare.” “I only just learned what I am,” I reply. “How about you let me have a taste of you?” “How about I show you what a Chimera Fae can do?” I reply. I turn myself into the replica of him and smile. “Well, I always wondered what it would be like to be fucked by myself,” Draknar laughs. “Then let’s do this,” I reply feeling a bit cocky, or maybe it’s being in his form that has me picking up some of his worst personality traits. I sidle over to the Vampire and cup his cheek then kiss him. I want him to look into his own eyes as I fuck him and he seems to want the same thing so we position ourselves
Rita Lena fucks me while we watch Miguel and Draknar with fascination. When Miguel goals it sends pleasure through me, but when he roars, I come undone. He seems lost in the acts he is doing with the Vampire and when his Lycan comes forward, the raw feral sexuality that emits from him makes my body buzz and Lena responds in much the same way. Her cock twitches and she shoots her load inside me. We stare in amazement as Miguel’s Lycan form slams into Draknar in a swift hard thrust as his claws grip the Vampire’s hips. The room is filled with powers, flooded with sexual energy that drives us all forward, yet we are mesmerized by the pair as Miguel savagely fucks the Vampire for an hour before roaring as his first orgasm as a Lycan tears through him. Draknar revels in the act and the violence of it. You would think he was done for a while, but his eyes come to mine and a feral smile graces his face. I get the feeling Draknar intends to make me his next prey and that is confirmed as
Miguel I knew buying a house would take a month or two even in a pack such as this. I still get to participate in the activities of this next full moon. We have found a house that we want but won’t be able to move in for another three weeks, which will have us there just in time for everyone to settle in before the next full moon. I will likely be in a different realm and have to handle my rut by using my hand, unless I find our other mate by then. If we are lucky, I will be allowed to stay for that full moon and leave immediately after. “Are we ready for this?” I ask as we all look at one another at the door to the suite we will spend the next three to four days in. Lena stretches up and kisses me before reply with a firm, “yeah.” I wrap my arm around Antony who has his other arm linked with Rita’s and Lena pulls Raiden over to stop hiding behind us. He has been shy around new people since learning his truth. He still goes by he/him for the most part, especially publicly, even
