Erondale Chapter 45
Chris’s POV Sighing, I look at all the papers in front of me. So much work goes into being the King. The stack of work is high but the thing that sits on my mind the most is the murders. There is absolutely no evidence of who is responsible. Toby is gone but he left his warriors to help keep Rae safe as well as help investigate the murders. I’m still unsure about the connection but he seems a bit possessive of her. I feel sorrow at that thought. I will forever regret what I’ve done to Rae in the past. It was necessary thought. I was becoming too attached. I fell in love with her. I didn’t think anything of it until I got told that I would have a destined Queen. One that I won’t know who it is until the timing is right. The wolves all have their fated mates and seem to love the idea of finding them. I feel dread. I don’t want anyone other than Rae. With Toby gone, I feel a need to step up my protection of Rae. I need to get back into her good graces so I can watch over her. Somethin

“You’re pregnant?” Preston asks. Then I see him sneer. “Why would Father kill the baby if it’s Chris’?” He asks.“Are you questioning me, Preston?” She fires back.I look over to Josiah. “Did you know about this?” I ask him. I feel deadly calm inside. “Did you know that Rachael was pregnant and claiming it to be mine?”“Yes, your majesty.”I walk over to him and grab him by his hair. “Yet, you didn’t inform me?”He starts shaking. “She said that she couldn’t tell you yet. That you needed to calm down.”“Were you sleeping with her?” Preston asks.He looks over at him with his eyes, however I have his hair and he can’t move. “Answer him!” I demand.“Yes, your majesty.” He answers.I laugh and let go of his hair. “So, you claim that you knew she was pregnant, with MY baby, yet you keep sleeping with her?”“I have needs, Chris.” She pouts. “Being pregnant brings them out more. You won’t even look at me.”I spin around and face her. “I don’t want you, Rachael! I haven’t for a while! I curs

A few Weeks LaterToby’s POVTraining is going well but I can’t keep my mind off what is going on at home. My warriors assure me that everything has been quiet for the last few weeks. However, I just want to get home. This is going to be the longest year of my life.Apparently, Rae and Chris mended fences and they are getting along as though nothing ever broke them apart. My warriors tell me that Alrich has gone into fits of jealousy but he’s not done anything to harm anyone.There are still no clues to who murdered those girls but, so far, there hasn’t been any murders. That releases some of my worries. My other worry is, Rachael. The King’s queen. We all thought that he had chosen not to have her as his queen but my spies, inside the palace, inform me that she’s there. Not only that but she’s pregnant. Chris seems to be taking care of everything that she needs so the theory is that it’s his. I have my doubts about it. That princess acted nothing like a princess. I really hope that

Toby’s POV I walk in to this building on the rich side of downtown. Ryan drove us here in his limousine, which I really enjoyed. It was completely different than the horse carriages that we have at home. We were able to walk right in as it’s Ryan’s fathers club. The way things are so different here, than home, I do feel a little backwards. I’m not going to admit that though. The music is loud and booming. It takes a minute before my ears get used to the loudness. The smell is a lot harder to control. It smells of alcohol, sex, and strong perfumes. I stop to allow myself to get used to the smell. I take deep breaths, and try not to gag, while Ryan pats me on the back. “I’m sorry. I forget how overwhelming this can be. Come, I’ll take you to the private lounge. It’ll be better. Once you get used to it, though, try to enjoy yourself a little.” He says, attempting to hide a smile. I’m too busy trying not to lose dinner so I just nod instead. Mason, on the other hand, takes off towards

Rae’s POVThe sun is bright, and beautiful, today. The wind gently blowing keeps me cool as I walk towards the palace. Chris has asked me to join him for the afternoon and I am a bundle of nerves. It’s been a few weeks since I have heard from Toby and I feel lonely without him. Even though Chris has made an effort to come and see me everyday, it still feels like I am missing something.I haven’t been to the palace, yet, though. What if he changes his mind? I don’t know if I can handle being treated the way that he had in the past. Maybe I shouldn’t give him another shot? What if he decides that I’m not worth it, again? I shake my head to get rid of the negative thoughts and take a deep breath. He looked sincere so why am I doubting it now?Finally arriving at the palace, the guard gives me a smile and escorts me through the doors. I glance back to thank him but he’s already standing in his defense pose. I sigh. I’ve known these guards for most of my life because my father always came

Chris POV I didn’t want to leave her. I really didn’t. I think that was the best time that I have had in a really long time. It feels so good to have my friendship back. She looked like she was glowing because she was so happy. Preston is right, though. I really need to get a hold of this situation with Rachael. I hated lying to Rae. Well, I wasn’t really lying. She isn’t my girlfriend. I just left out the fact that she is pregnant. I have been thinking about this the last two weeks. Is the baby even mine? It could be. I did slip up that one time, right before we came back, so I can’t just ignore the fact that I might have an illegitimate heir. How am I supposed to tell Rae, though? I will. I need to. At least that is what I keep telling myself. I walk silently beside Preston. He doesn’t say a thing. I can’t tell if he is mad at me, or not. I swear I used protection with his sister. If it is indeed mine, it is purely by accident. I’m not truly ready to be a father. I still haven’t f

Rae’s POVThese last few months have blown by pretty quick. Things with Chris seem to be back to normal, if not more, than before he left. I look forward to waking up every day now. I get finished with my chores around the same time that he is finished with his daily tasks, or so he says. I couldn’t be happier. So, why do I feel hollow sometimes?Toby and I still communicate. While it makes me smile that he thinks of me, it makes me sad that I can’t see his gorgeous face. Erin and I have gotten closer as well. I can tell that she still has a thing for Chris but she does her best to hide it. Emma, however, seems to have grown away from me. That breaks my heart. She even has herself new friends. Where did my friendship go wrong with her? It’s not like I took Toby away from her or anything.Erin tells me not to worry about it. Mama says that sometimes friends just grow apart. It doesn’t ease the pain, though. I’m currently watching her laugh with her new friends. She glances over at me a

Toby’s POV“Knock, knock. I have another letter for you.” Ryan says as he busts through my room.“Oh, who from this time?” I ask, feigning lack of interest.Of course he doesn’t buy it, and just laughs. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe I should read it myself. It looks a little fancy. Like maybe it’s from a girl.” He smirks. “Oh, yes. It’s definitely from a girl. I’ll tell you if I see something interesting.”I jump up to grab the letter and he takes off laughing. Mason walks in on us and laughs at us, telling us that we look like a couple of girls before he takes off to check his own mail. I finally get my hands on the letter and Ryan just laughs.“Wow. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that you have found your mate.” I freeze but I don’t respond. He must’ve caught on. “Oh, she is your mate!” He fist bumps my shoulder. “Why didn’t you say anything? All those nights at the club, not wanting to dance with the girls. It all makes sense now.” He plops down on the bed beside me. “So, why d

Erondale Epilogue 2
Rae’s POV I open my eyes to bright light. I look around and find myself in a field. Did I die? My heart breaks realizing that I am not going to see my husbands or my children. I slowly stand up and weave my hands through the grass. I glance around when I feel a presence around me. A man steps out of the shadows and my breath hitches. “Daddy?” I ask. “Hello, pumpkin.” He says. I run to him and jump into his arms. “Daddy, I’ve missed you.” “I have missed you too, pumpkin.” He whispers. “What are you doing here?” I ask. “I came to see you. I am supposed to walk you to the moon goddess.” “The moon goddess?” I ask. “Am I dead?” He smiles sadly. “Not yet, dear. There are some very determined people working on you. But, you are dying. Come.” He says, as he wraps his arms around my shoulders. I can’t help but cry. I am glad that I get to see him but I don’t want to leave everyone else behind. “I am proud of you, pumpkin.” He says. “I have been keeping an eye on you. You, and your m

Rae’s POV “Push, baby. You have this. One more time. You’ve got this.” Chris says. I feel like breaking off his fingers with this next push. Despite all of my yelling, and squishing his fingers, he has the brightest smile and radiates happiness. “Where is Toby?” I ask. “I want to wait for Toby.” I whine. “He’s almost here, baby. You know that he had to go to Ryan’s territory. This baby doesn’t want to wait. They are ready come out.” I blow out a breath. He doesn’t have to remind me. I can feel them pushing out. I groan. Toby had to leave to go help Ryan because a few of the hunters that escaped our raids have been causing issues. He’s been gone for a whole week. Now, he’s not here and the babies are coming without him. I want to cry. “You can do this, Rae. One more push and he’s out.” Linda says. I take a deep breath as Chris pushes me up. As I push as hard as possible, the door flies open and Toby rushes in. He rushes to stand on my other side. I am unable to say anything as I
Erondale Chapter 106
Toby’s POV As Raleigh falls, I rush to catch her. My heart is pounding in my chest. I know that she hasn’t been feeling well lately but I haven’t wanted to bug her about it. ‘Chris, meet me at the pack doctor’s office.’ I holler through the link. ‘Already on my way.’ She groans in her sleep and I pick up speed. I should have seen this coming after everything that we have been doing over the last year. She must’ve exhausted herself out. ‘Cian, can you detect what’s wrong?’ I ask my wolf. ‘Serenity has been blocking us out for the last week or so. I’ve tried to ask if everything is okay but she just assures me that she’s tired.’ ‘Do you think that it has anything to do with what we just did?’ I ask, nervously. A huge wave of guilt hits me. Maybe I shouldn’t have pressed that. Now, that I think about it, she hasn’t been very active in the bedroom lately, either. Cian scoffs. ‘Of course not. It has to be something else.’ “Let me see her.” Chris snaps, pulling me out of my head with
Erondale Chapter 105
Chris’s POV Exhaustion doesn’t even begin to cover how I am feeling right now. We have traveled three quarters of the globe and destroyed many hunters. I feel like I should have some guilt over this but I don’t. These are the scums of the earth. We ran into some hunter camps that had scientists working on humans. Labs were in more than half of the camps. Humans caged in cells smaller than a bathroom. Speaking of bathroom, they only had a pan to use as theirs. The smells that encompassed these labs were enough to make every one of us vomit. That was before we even saw the first cell. On top of the surface, they look like cabins. We would have not even noticed them if it wasn’t for Jessica. Toby’s top warrior. She smelled something. Of course, she found out that she was pregnant and that’s why she was able to smell it when the rest of us couldn’t. We destroyed the house before we found the secure wall. Magic was in play because once we found it, the house shifted on the outside to s
Erondale Chapter 104
Toby’s POV Watching Rae and Chris work their magic is incredible. We have arrived at yet another base of Hunters. This one wasn’t as kind as the last five that we arrived at. Most of those five surrendered and agreed to a peace treaty. This one, however, every one was tainted with hatred. A hatred for something that they didn’t understand. The way these hunters live is similar to how our packs live. They are familiar based. I would feel bad for some of these humans but, they are so full of hatred, they can’t be saved. My warriors and I have taken all of the small children, handing them off to the humans. They will figure out who to give them too. There are some hunters that lost their children due to the severity of the battles they waged. All of them were lead to believe that all supernaturals were a danger to them. When Rae stood up in front of them, and offered peace, only a few challenged her. Mostly the oldest ones were filled with hatred. Rae gave them plenty of chances. She
Erondale Chapter 103
Rae’s POV 2 weeks later I’m dressed up and ready to go. We’re headed to a small town full of hunters. We have sent out squads of warriors from the castle out on the hunt. One set came up with a small town that was full of them. It’s in another part of the world. Sadly, this makes me think of Emma. I feel the tears slipping down my face. Chris walks up behind me and wraps me up in my arms. Yes, I said Chris. In the last two weeks, he has explained things to me. While I am still mad at him, I decided to give him another chance. “It will be okay, Raleigh.” He says. I shake my head. I killed my best friend. “Rae, it was you or her.” Toby said, coming into the room. “I understand that.” I whisper. “It’s just that I feel like it’s sort of my fault. Of course, she is sort of right. She isn’t the only one to feel that way.” Chris stiffens. Toby comes to stand in front. The heat and sparks coming from both of my mates, sends comfort through me. I held onto Toby while I leaned against
Erondale Chapter 102
Rae’s POV 2 months later Laughter escapes my mouth as I run around the island. Toby is trying to spread icing on my face. Of course, it’s payback because I did it first. We were invited to a birthday party of one of the pups. Their mother asked me to cut the cake and I couldn’t resist. The kids are laughing at mine and Toby’s antics. He feints to the right. Too bad that I noticed he looked to my right first. See, he has a tell tale sign because he is worried that I am going to hurt myself. So, he just looks in that area first. I’m not even sure that he notices it. “You can’t escape me forever, Rae, darling.” He taunts. “Oh yeah?” I taunt back. “Yeah. It’s only fair you know. Don’t you kids agree?” He asks the kids. “The boys agree while the girls say a resounding ‘no’.” We both laugh. I squeal as he makes a move that I didn’t see. I jump across the island and stop in my tracks, my breath freezing in my chest. How did I not hear anyone come up from behind me? The lady standing
Erondale Chapter 101
Rae’s POVThe warmth of two bodies surround me as consciousness pulls at me again. I remember their names, Toby and Chris. I feel so comfortable that I don’t even want to open my eyes. I just want to go back to sleep. I don’t even know how I got into this position.The bed does not even feel like the same bed that I had been in last night. It’s softer, bigger, and allows the two of them in it. I am squished between these two men. Something nags at me, telling me that I know these two men and that they are an important part of my life.Why can’t I remember them? ‘You will.’ Something in my head says. I’m not bothered by this voice as I know that she is somehow a part of me. ‘Go back to sleep, Rae. When you wake, your memory will return.’ I remember the last time she said that I was blocking myself. ‘You’re opening it up subconsciously. Though, I am sure that it has to do with these cute men beside us. They are your mates, afterall.’Hmm. Okay, maybe I should just get some sleep then. T
Erondale Chapter 100
Rae’s POVDarkness surrounds me. I can’t seem to understand what is going on in my mind. I feel intense pain and I can hear some voices. I feel as if I should recognize them but I can’t seem to concentrate enough to hear them plainly. Two male voices are very distinct. They seem to be talking to a meek lady.Suddenly, I feel someone pick me up. I feel the pain but I am unable to make a sound or move. I feel a feather like electricity shoot through my temple as someone leaves a kiss. Who is this? There is something in my mind that tells me that I know.A cold rush hits my body as I am taken outside. At least I assume it is outside.“Hold on, little Luna.” I hear, sounding far away.“Please, my Love.” The second voice says.“This way. Hurry, before he gets back.” The meek voice says.I feel a shift in direction. Why can’t I open my eyes? Why do I feel so weak?“Hurry up!” She says again. “I don’t know how long he’ll be kept out of this plane. He’s arguing with his brother right now.”Wh
