am hoping this story will carry us through most of the season and I have some ideas for a holiday story that is different from this, although you never know what inspiration might strike. I hope you are enjoying the story so far. I would love your thoughts and feedback.
Dylan I am planning on confronting my brother after this meeting is through, but just as I finish up he calls me, summoning me to his office. Great, it’s the perfect time to do this! When I arrive, Rebecca is in her wheelchair next to him. I don’t care. This has to be done. “Dylan! I am concerned that Kaiya’s lies have been influencing you!” Ace says before I can even sit. This doesn’t surprise me. “If we are addressing concerns, I have several of my own,” I say. “Let’s start with your treatment of Kaiya.” “She is my prisoner!” Ace snaps. “She is your Fated Mate and she feels it every time you fuck someone else! She did her time in prison and she was banished until you dragged her back. I believe there are pieces of this whole fiasco you willfully ignore,” I state. “She is a Liar!” Ace snaps. “Says the man sitting next to the biggest liar I know,” I hum. “You lie to yourself, brother!” “She has twisted your thinking!” Rebecca snarls. “I am thinking perfectly clearly. I have
Kaiya “Kaiya! Tonight, we will have a special meal as a celebration!” Dylan says with an enormous smile as he enters his suite. I stand up from my place on his sofa with the Journal I just started reading after finishing the book I started yesterday and greet him. “Well, it looks like you had a great day,” I say. “I confronted Ace and while I never would have predicted the outcome, it was an interesting one,” Dylan says, grabbing my hands and leading me back to the sofa to sit. “Ace has been being drugged. I have Dr Makya testing the false medications to find out precisely what he has been fed. Rebecca revealed that she isn’t paralyzed, accidentally, when her fear of being uncovered took over. SHe also revealed having poisoned you. Ace’s wolf took over his form, though he isn’t sure how long he can maintain control, so he took off running.” “Wow!” Is all I can think to say as my mind reels and I feel faint. That is a lot to process! “I don’t need to mark you just yet, but I would
Kaiya My skin prickles as Dylan’s breath fans against my ear and cheek and the raspy tone in his voice sends waves of desire straight to my core. I feel wetness pool between my thighs and an involuntary moan escapes my lips. I believe he is implying that I am desert. “Dylan?” I breathe in a needy tone that borders on a moan. “I’m right with you, Kaiya,” Dylan whispers. “This is all new to me, too.” Dylan suddenly stops and pulls me against his firm chest. His heart is beating rapidly and his breathing is ragged, when my eyes meet his I see his pupils are wide with desire and his eyelids seem heavy as he leans in to claim my lips in what turns into a very passionate kiss. “I’m as nervous as you are, Sweetpea. I’m not experienced, so I might make some mistakes or not be very good, but we can learn together,” Dylan says softly against my lips as his cheeks burn red. “I won’t judge, my only experience was unpleasant and rough,” I admit, with sadness tainting my words. I wish I coul
Dylan I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t last long on our first round, but Kaiya’s body feels so amazing when I’m buried inside her. I was glad she was understanding and after a brief rest, she and I went for a second round and then not long ago, after waking up, we went for our third round. I took a shower and ran a tub for Kaiya, and then helped her into it before getting dressed. I have meetings today and then I am going to interrogate each of our prisoners before deciding their fates. I will give them the respect of informing them of their charges and of hearing what I determine as their punishment, but they don’t even deserve that after what my mate has been through. I leave the packages of clothing and other personal care items on the bed, while bringing the floral body wash into the bathroom and placing it within Kaiya’s reach, then I kiss her tenderly. “I will be home before dinner and I will collect you to accompany me to the dining hall. Your new clothing and lotion a
Kaiya My mind reels as I try to make sense of everything. I read the entire first journal of Dylan’s mother. Much of what she wrote was about family lineage and somehow that lines up with a prophecy. She believed Ash and Dylan were one key to the prophecy. She also said something about her husband’s infidelity and her suspecting I was possibly the product of that, but she was uncertain. Which is odd, given the amount of kindness she always showed me. I was about to crack open the second journal when Dylan came in looking wide eyed and bewildered. His jaw was hanging open and he was a mess. He told me he had to execute Carson and do so publicly, because if not there were people who would destroy our pack because of something he had done but he looked too horrified to explain further. He looked into my eyes and held my hands as he told me Carson has known for years that he is my father. I broke down in tears and would have collapsed had Dylan not caught me. Now, we are soaking in a
DylanI was tempted to mate with and mark Kaiya before coming down to dinner and watching her cheeks turn pink at the realization she is being reintroduced to the pack and I am letting everyone know exactly who she is to both Ace and I was entertaining. But I am nervous as I stand up in front of the pack to make the announcement.“Good evening, my esteemed pack members,” I say in a loud, clear voice just as I was trained to. “I know Ace is usually the one to make announcements, while I remain silent, but as you see, he is not currently present.”I pause and wait for the mumbles and worry over where he is dies down.“Please, don’t be too concerned about Alpha Ace. He is going through a rough patch after realizing several people we all trusted have betrayed our pack in rather heinous ways and nearly deprived us of our Luna,” I say, pausing once more and gesturing to Kaiya. “You see beside me, OUR Fated Mate, Kaiya is back in the pack and wears Alpha Ace’s mark. She might go into heat any
Kaiya I didn’t mean to knock Dylan out when I marked him, but he looks so sweet and peaceful sleeping underneath me, that I don’t want to move, even though his length slipped out of me a while ago. Does marking always knock your mate out? I passed out when Ace marked me, but it was also violent and traumatic, whereas this was blissful and ecstatic. Dylan isn’t out for long and pulls my lips to his when he comes to, whispering against them, “Thought you'd get away without being marked, did you?” I realize he is teasing as he claims my lips and I deepen the kiss while responding via mindlink now that I am once again part of the pack. ‘No, Dylan, I thought I was going to mark you first so you don’t escape me and disappear like your brother.’ ‘Ooh, harsh!’ Dylan replies back. ‘I have no intention of disappearing and Ace will be back.’ ‘I’ll mark him too, just to make sure he doesn’t fuck up,’ I reply. ‘So you’ll accept him?’ ‘He has a lot to make up for, but I understand he was a
Kaiya ‘Hi, beautiful mate! Welcome to the family. Now that Dylan is connected to you I can see your wolf through our family link, but she is not awake,’ Ace’s wolf, Aspen, says in my head. ‘Yeah, she is nearly always asleep. She has stirred once or twice since I have been here but I get headaches and she goes back into deeper sleep from the weakness,’ I reply. ‘Ace and I will fix this, but we will need to go further away to do that. You won’t have your full power until she is healed,’ Aspen says solemnly. ‘Aspen, stay safe!’ I call through the link but I know he is leaving range as I say it. “He’s strong and he told me earlier that Ace is returning to himself and grieving over his actions. Aspen is in charge in both forms while Ace tries to sort everything out in his mind,” Dylan says, wrapping me in a loving embrace and smiling at the heat he feels radiating from my abdomen. “I’m surprised with her asleep that I can go into heat,” I admit. “That is much your biology as it is
Damien As soon as we noticed Malleus wasn’t at the party anymore, I told Kaiya that we needed to find him because he is spiraling with dark thoughts. The storm raged outside and then disappeared as quickly as it arrived and that scared us all more than its arrival or the intensity of it. The fact that it ended so fast was a very bad sign. The crater was not just enormous, but slick the earth and minerals were charred into a smooth glass like substance and curled in a ball in the center holding his head even though he was unconscious was Malleus. It took some effort to get to him and confirm he was still breathing, but weak and even more to get him out, but his mates were the ones to do it. We all knew what happened. His dark thoughts took over and became overwhelming and this caused the storm, but what and why had he set all the lightning off on himself like that? There has to be more than just a little something wrong there. For close to a month he has been in the hospital a
MalleusThose nightmares! Kaiya has done so much to drive them away. Without Kaiya I couldn’t do it. I would have caved to the witch and her riders long ago.“The witch is a shapeshifter,” I offer. “She is limited, but she changes forms and in dreams at least takes on forms other than her own sometimes including taking the form of someone you love or trust.”I hate that she has done that because it means everyone becomes suspect in my dreams and my waking hours and sometimes my mind can’t take the nearly constant suspicion. “Sometimes, I am not even certain everyone is themselves even when I am awake,” I admit.“Oh, sweetheart!” Kaiya gasps and rests her head against my chest. Dylan kisses my cheek and looks at me with sadness in his eyes.“Look, today is supposed to be a happy day, let’s celebrate Xavier’s first birthday. We can deal with this minefield later,” I say in an attempt to divert attention away from the mess that is my mental state.“We will come back to this later,” Ace
Amina Today is Xavier’s first birthday. Amal reached two months old yesterday. Jasmine and Connor are six weeks old. I got to be present for both of their births with Jasmine being born just a little after midnight and Connor being born eight and a half hours later. Damien’s labor was more difficult in that he was in labor for nearly twenty four hours. But he has been doing wonderfully since having some time to rest and recover. Tobias, on the other hand is experiencing some postpartum depression and has been very emotional. We have gotten him a therapist who sees him individually but also works with us as a family. It helps a lot, but Tobias struggles with deeper emotions he often tries to keep hidden. The Lycan King and Kaiya’s mother and half brother will be here today for Xavier’s birthday and We are supposed to meet with them before the birthday party to discuss the intelligence they have gathered. We all know there will be a war coming before too long. Kaiya and her mates hav
2: XXXXAminaExhaustion took over after giving birth to Amal. Giving birth to a child is hard work, when that child is something of an anomaly, it just gets harder and weirder, because everyone wants to ask questions and check on you constantly. Dr. Makya said we are both healthy and that he honestly believes Amal is more evolved than most werewolves and Lycans and of course we are more evolved than humans.I just hope my child can grow up like an ordinary Beta heir, but something tells me, this might be a bit much to ask, especially since we returned to the packhouse and Xavier literally appeared in front of us reaching for “uppies” and the nearly ten month old heir just had to be close to Amal. “Has anyone seen Xavier?” Kaiya shouts frantically, running down the stairs from her office and then she spots us.“He had to be near Amal,” I reply.“I think they need to be together a lot,” Kaiya replies.She seems far less weirded out than I am or maybe than she should be, but then aga
Tobias I feel so emotional. I don’t like it, but this pregnancy has me all bent out of shape. I feel like almost everything makes me feel sad or overwhelmed. Like when my mates went to that meeting in the Alpha’s office without me or when the second and third heirs were born, literally seconds apart. I may not have been present, but hearing about it made me emotional. The doctor assures me that it is natural and related to my hormones. Damien isn’t emotional like I am. He’s grouchy . I swear something is wrong with me. I shuffle around our kitchen making myself some tea and preparing breakfast for my mates and I. I feel like I’m as big as a house and it’s hard to move around. I know I shouldn’t complain because poor Amina is so petite, yet her belly is just as big. I stretch my aching back and run my hand over my belly, smiling when I feel his kick. I am having a boy, Damien is having a girl and Amina we can’t figure out, the baby isn’t letting us see in the ultrasounds but that do
Amina Five and a half months pregnant and I can’t see my feet anymore. I still have more than three months to go and I feel as if I can not get any bigger.The Lycan King has been watching several packs carefully. Not just because of what happened with Juliette being kidnapped, but because of incidents that seem to be related to the kidnapping and other behaviors. It has kept the threats at bay as has the extra security he has provided our pack with. Of course knowing his nephew and his mates are all pregnant might have added to his increased help with keeping our pack secure.So far, Lena is behaving relatively well. She and Antony along with Rita and a handful of adult Omegas are now running the daycare center in the packhouse. But I still worry that she and Antony are doing sexual things, even if Miguel assured me he has curbed the threat and that he has a plan to keep himself busy and at a distance other than short visits until she is eighteen. So, I suppose that is one less worr
LenaI can’t believe I am still a virgin! I was so close to fucking Antony and then Miguel charmed me and made me promise to wait until he could watch us together. I can’t break that promise. But Antony and I still played with each other. We just can’t mate yet. It seems like everyone is having babies, though. It has been three months since I promised Miguel I’d wait. Alpha Dylan and Alpha Ace are very obviously pregnant now. Their bellies are impossible to miss. Amina and her mates, Tobias and Damien, are all starting to have little baby bumps, though Amina’s is more obvious. She is two and a half weeks further along than the boys and she is more petite. Juliette is pregnant and her belly is starting to show. But they aren’t the only ones in on this baby boom. So many of our pack members are having babies, including some who are not much older than I am.They are having an area of the packhouse remodeled to be a daycare center. Antony and I will work there along with a few others who
OrionI didn’t think Juliette would want us to penetrate her and when she passed out after Viktor made love to her so tenderly, I was afraid we had gone too far. She woke up a short time later and pleaded with me to make love to her as well. I suggested she get on top of me and set the pace. As a bear, I can be gentle for me and still be brutal without realizing it. Juliette says that I am always tender, but I feel like I am not, especially when either of my mates winces.We made it through and then through my next round of heat. My heat has been ticking up a lot. Right now for example, I just got done being knotted by my mates and I am rehydrating myself. My heat is gradually rising again. Viktor’s heat has been more mild, but he also didn’t know he would or could go into heat.Juliette cries out and I turn to see her flushed with heat. She needs me, she needs us, but we have been afraid to penetrate her together. “You are going to have to do it together “ She growls at Viktor and I
AntonyLena might not be in heat or rut, but she sure is feeling amorous. Xavier is napping and she is running her hands over my flat stomach as we watch television. “I am not a side piece and we won’t know if I am your mate for two years,” I say. “When I kissed you, it didn’t hurt Miguel,” she replies. “When I make out with you, or Rita, or Miguel, none of you feel pain. You are all my mates. I am certain.”“How far have you and Rita gone?” I ask, knowing they were making out and touching each other in the bathroom at school just before we came here for the full moon to take care of the future Alpha.“Not all the way. I still want you to be my first,” Lena admits. “But I have tasted her and she has tasted me.”“So no further than we have gone?” I ask. “I’m not jealous, just curious. She could get pregnant.”“So could you and I will look forward to seeing your belly swollen with my child one day,” she replies.I still feel like I am going to be left behind in all of this. I have fel
