ANNALISE…
A wave of fear goes through me, but I step back from the serving table and allow one of the other servants of the pack to take it from me. I walk with Owen past the serving tables and out into the room. He escorts me over to Angus’s side, bows and then walks away, but not before giving me a small smirk.
I look down at my feet and whisper,
“You asked for me, Sir?”
“Yes, I did. Ann, I want you to pay close attention to Alpha Nightmoon, serve him his dinner and then anything else he desires while he is here tonight.”
I take a sharp breath in at the thought of what he could ask me to do. When I don’t move, Angus growls low, sending a shiver through me as he says,
“Are you disobeying me, Ann?”
“N…No Sir. I will sever him as you wish me to.”
I just know that this is going to be a bad idea, whether it's bad for me or bad for him, I am not sure. I make my way past Alpha Michael and over to Alpha Night
ANNALISE… I know it wasn’t the right thing to do and I should have stayed by his side, but feeling that fire spread through my cheek and then the rest of my body it scared me. To be able to be touched by a male without the pain, it could have only been one male, and that male was my true mate. However, I feared that I was no longer the same female that Mr Nightmoon knew that worked at Nightmoon & Co. I wasn’t even the Luna that I used to be at the Lupin Nightstalker pack or anything near the warrior blood I was born with. I was a slave. I was now the slave that Randall had marked me as, Angus had seen to that. I walk over to the sink with shaky legs and with even shakier hands I get myself a glass of water; I take a sip and then turn as I hear the squeak of the door opening. I thought it might have been Alpha Nightmoon, I thought he might have actually followed me. That he might have actually meant what he had said, and that he felt the sparks he asked
ANNALISE... My eyes go wide and more tears slide down my cheeks as we now face Alpha Nightmoon with him deep inside me and the rest of me on display for him to see. At that very moment, I was the dirty, used sex slave Randall had marked me as. A wave of extreme shame washes over me and I wished with all my heart that Owen would squeeze just that little more, digging his claws in that little more… Only he doesn’t and I have no choice but to look into those green eyes that slowly turn gold, showing that his wolf was taking control. I can't even lower my eyes, so I have no choice but to watch as he takes a step inside the cabin. Owen growls low at the male now standing in the doorway, “If you want this pretty thing to keep her head, I would suggest you don’t come any closer and then back out of that door and wait until I am finished for your turn…” I whimper as he digs his claws into my neck a little more. He then tightens his arm aro
RANDALL...She just laughs at me and tries to jump off my lap, only I tighten my arms around her, preventing her from moving. I place my hand on the back of her neck and pull her into a dominant kiss as I use my other hand to move her skirt, undo my pants and then thrust my hips upward sliding inside her making her let out a low moan as I growl.I move my hand back to her hip and use that to make her lift herself up and then slide herself back down. It doesn't take long for her to take over so that my hand is only resting on her hip as she lifts herself up and then slides herself back down. I never break our kiss as I use my hand on her hip to let her know when to increase her speed and the hardness of her movements.When I can't handle not being in control any longer, I move my hand from the back of her neck down to her other hip and then use both hands to make her movements harder and faster. Just as I was reaching my peak and need
RANDALL… I didn’t miss that Alpha Nightmoon got to sit at the main table and right next to Alpha Michael. He seemed to watch the servant that seemed to serve only him. There was something about her. When I first looked at her and felt the slight tingles skim over my mate mark, I had dismissed it. However, as I now watch Alpha Nightmoon pick slowly at his dinner plate until it was finished, I watch as he then stands and approaches the servant behind him. I feel the tingles as he gets close to her, telling me that she must be here. My mate mark is telling me that someone is getting too close to what is mine. I watch as they leave. I startle as a hand touches my shoulder. I turn around and smile as I look into Candace’s beautiful eyes as she says, “You want to follow them?” “I need to know if it is her. She has been so far from me for so long Hugo needs her.” “I know…” I frown at her with a little confusion and say,
RANDALL...I don’t see it coming and I don’t actually feel it until I am lying with my face in the gravel. I then hear footsteps over that gravel, along with the sound of a car door opening and then closing. I growl as I punch the ground. He had sucker punched me, got into his car, and then left, taking Annalise with him. Hugo howls a little in my head, first at not getting to touch and take home our Annalise or getting to even have a look at her.The second howl was full of anger at the fact that he believed he had a right to take her with him even after I had invoked the right as her mate to take her home with me. I try to open my mate link with Annalise and I am surprised that it works since it hasn’t for so long and growl,“I will not order you yet, but you will return to me, Annalise. One way or another, you will return to me.”I smile as I feel her whimper through the lin
NICOLAS… “Nicolas, unless you tell him that you are her true mate, you can’t challenge his claim. He has every right to demand that you give her to him. She wears his mate mark. Unfortunately, she still belongs to his pack and also still wears his slave mark, which gives him his right to retake possession of her. You have to give her to him.” I can’t do it, feeling her in my arm, feeling those wonderful little sparks run over my skin. I can’t let her out of my sight again. I have never been one to go against the unwritten and natural laws of our kind. I agree to fight him in front of Fredrick, however, I still can’t bring myself to pull her out of my car and pass her to him. I open my link with Douglas so that Randall doesn't hear me, "I can't do it... Get in the car!" Raoul feeling the same thing as me as he has been sharing ever since we tapped into our Royal Bloodline’s gift, allowing us to move quicker than most can track
ANNALISE… A wave of fear runs through me as I bring my hand up and for the first time since I woke, I could actually feel the pain of what was done to my neck and all the minor cuts and scrapes over my body. Looking at and slightly touching the black, purple and yellow bruise, I am surprised that he didn’t actually kill me. I wonder why he didn't kill me. A flash of memory from last night then passes before my eyes and a feeling of wanting to die settles uneasily in my stomach. I had actually wanted him to kill me. At that moment, for some reason, I had wanted him to tighten his grip enough to kill me. However, he didn’t. Instead, he had brought me back to the cabin he was staying in. Maybe he was waiting for the morning. Another wave of fear goes through me as he is still out there and if I am still in here when he wakes, I am required to see to his needs once more. I look around the room and spot the towel. I grab it and wrap it around my body. I step over to the door and hesitat
ANNALISE…The door opens, and the Alpha walks back in. I look at him, and my eyes fill with tears as I remember everything from the night before. I lower my eyes as the tears finally slip and slide down my cheeks. I whisper,“Why?”I hear Amity’s soft voice next to me as she says,“Why what, sweetheart?”I briefly lift my eyes to his before lowering them again as I ask,“Why did you tell him I ran?”“I didn’t tell him you ran…”My emotions get the better of me as tears sting my eyes, my voice cracks and I snap at him.“You must have. He wouldn’t have sent Owen after me if you didn’t tell him that I wasn’t obeying. He was there because you went back and told Beta Angus I disobeyed…”I am surprised when he is suddenly much closer to me as he whispers,“I didn’t tell
ANNALISE - FLASHBACK CONT’… Amity gives me a sly smile as she sees what I did. She then turns her attention back to the coming of my pups and says, “Now Luna… Annalise, I need you to take a deep breath and push with the next contraction.” I do as she says and follow her instructions as she gives them. After what seemed like forever, I slump back against Nicolas after my last push and our first daughter slips from inside me. Amity pulls out a small set of scissors and cuts the cord and then picks her up as she says, “Congratulations. You have a daughter, an Alpha female.” She passes her to me as I relax into Nicolas. When she opens her eyes, I smile and I don't know how I knew she was his as look back over my shoulder and say, “Our beautiful Danielle.” Nicolas smiles and closes the small gap and places a soft, short kiss on my lips. When he pulls back, Dominic approaches very slowly and says, “If I may, Luna?” I look at him, confused, until another wave of pain shoots through m
5 years later…ANNALISE…The years have been good. Anyone would think that being the Luna of two packs and the Queen of a kingdom would be hard and tiring, however; for me, it has been busy but fun and rewarding.Like now, I have a little quiet time, so I am sitting on the swing out in the backyard of the castle, sliding my hand over my swollen belly while watching Fredrick and Nicolas going through some of the playful training moves they came up with. It was the only way they could convince our daughters to pay attention to each of the lessons they tried to teach them.As I watch them, I remember the night that they were born…The night of the Full Blood Moon Eclipse…**FLASHBACK**I had been feeling a little off when I had squirmed and crawled out of bed early this morning. I just couldn’t stay sandwiched between my two mates any longer. I feel a small ache in my lower back and give it a slow rub as I walk into the bathroom and set the shower going. The warm water of the shower and
ANNALISE... I smile as he then pulls me into a tight hug, and I hear two low growls from the males that step back up beside me. As Fredrick pulls me in tight to his side, he says, “Back off Father… Annalise, as you have probably guessed or known, that is our father, Chase.” I giggle again as Chase bows to me and grabs my hand, placing a kiss on the back, earning him another growl. He straightens and chuckles as he returns to his seat. Fredrick then says, “And this lovely female is my mother, Nicolas’s stepmother. Katreena.” I look over, and my eyes go wide as she says, “It’s nice to finally meet you, Annalise. You ran off so quickly the day I visited Nicolas, he didn’t get a chance to introduce you…” I lower my head and whisper, “I…I… I was nothing but a slave then…” Tears fill my eyes as I remember that day and how I had thought that she was his girlfriend or lover or mistress with how they had walked down the hall so close to each other and then had eaten privately. It wasn
ANNALISE… She smiles as she turns the screen to face the three of us so that we can see the two images. Tears sting my eyes as I then turn and look at my mates. A small smile tugs at my lips, seeing the shock on their faces. My attention is brought back to Amity when she asks, “Would you all like to know what you are having?” I smile and say before she can, “Daughters. We are having daughters.” Amity looks at me with shock as she says, “That’s right. Annalise, how did you know?” “Amity, I am not stupid. I did a research paper at school on my family history and found that there were only females with the occasional male born to the 2nd or 3rd daughter of each new generation. So now that I know that I am a descendant daughter of the Moon Goddess, I realised a few weeks ago that any pups I had would be daughters... Would be females.” I turn my head and look over at Fredrick and Nicolas, as I don’t know if they have thought about this. Tears sting my eyes as I whisper, “You do rea
ANNALISE… I couldn’t believe that they had included a nursery/reading room. With the teddy still in my hand, I walk back over to them and wrap my arms around both of them as I try not to cry. Fredrick places a kiss on my shoulder and whispers, “Come, we haven’t finished yet.” I pull back and they both step back. Fredrick slides his hand into mine and leads me out of the nursery and over to another door. He stands in front of it as he says. “Now we know that there are going to be times when you have had enough of our overbearing presence, so we made this chamber up for you. It is for you and you alone. If you decide to invite one of us in well, then that is your choice. Otherwise, it is off-limits to me and Nicolas.” Fredrick then steps to the side and opens the door, allowing me to walk in. True to his words, they both stand outside the door as I move and look around the chamber. Nicolas says once again from the door,
ANNALISE…When he pulls his head back, we are above the surface again. I look into his eyes and he is laughing; I hit him on the chest as I giggle.“You bastard, you scared the shit out of me…”He continues to laugh as he says,“Sorry sweetheart.”I wrap my arms back around his neck and place a kiss on his lips. When I pull back this time, I look around and say,“Where is Fredrick?”I let out a surprised scream as two hands grab my waist and pull me back out of Nicolas’s arms. The hands turn me as his voice rasps into my ear.“I’m right here, sweetheart.”I giggle and hit his chest, as I did with Nicolas, before placing a kiss on his lips. Sparks flood my body as he growls low and wraps his arms tighter around me and deepens the kiss. When he pulls back, he leans his forehead to mine and whispers,“I love you.”I smile and whisper, “I love you, too.”I then look over my shoulder before turning in Fredrick’s arms just a little, allowing me to see both my mates as I say,“I love both of
NICOLAS… I feel a shiver run through Annalise as she tightens her arms around my neck. I tightened my arms in response, still with my attention on Fredrick, knowing that this was bad. I whisper, “How?” “The dungeon guards alerted us to trouble. When I got to the doors of the dungeon, I could hear fighting and growling coming from the cells. I all ran down, only to stop dead at the cell. The fighting had stopped, and you were just standing, but we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. Douglas, Arnald, and Vlad joined me just after. We were brought out of our shock when Annalise screamed. I had Vlad take her to her room and told him to keep her there. We then tried to enter the cell, but as we did, you turned on us. Raoul had shifted, and his eyes were glowing pure gold with a significant swirl of silver running through them. I tried the link, but it was blocked, and every time we made even just the smallest of movements, Raoul would growl low
ANNALISE… I place my hand on his cheek, and it isn’t long before his eyes snap open, and I am staring at the gold, silver, and red swirl of Raoul’s eyes. His chest vibrates with the primal growl he lets out before wrapping his arms around me, one going to the back of my head, the other around my waist. He pulls me into a hard, dominant kiss. I let out a surprised squeak into his kiss as he flipped us in the bed. When he pulls back, we are both breathing heavily. He leans his forehead to mine and whispers, “I would never intentionally hurt you…” I smile and bring my hand back to his cheek as I say, “I know. I love you, and I understand now what you were trying to do. I came back for you.” I close my eyes and allow Misty to come forward and share control. Raoul lets out another low growl when I open my eyes, and I know that they are mixed with Misty's violet colour. I feel Misty extend our canines, and I smile as I watch as R
ANNALISE… I don’t know what made me do it, but he had saved me, so I felt the need to save him from whatever they were doing to him. Almost as soon as I removed the IV, he began to stir. I smiled as I reached over and placed my hand on his cheek. I then jumped when his eyes snapped open and locked on mine. He moves quickly, getting off the bed, wrapping his arms around me, and walking me backward until my back hits the wall behind me. I whimper a little at the impact, but I can’t take my eyes off the golden glow with the silver and slight red swirl. He slides his hand into my hair and grabs it, pulling my head back just that little further before he smashes his lips to mine in a hard, dominant kiss. Even with the slight twinge of pain, I melt into him. He soon breaks his kiss and trails his lips down my neck, making me shiver. I close my eyes and let out a low moan as his fire spreads through me. His
