ANNALISE…
It was startling but amazing to have all of my werewolf abilities return, along with Misty. Hearing her sweet voice in my head once more was heaven. I look over at Arthur as he moves a little closer to me. I smile as I finally smell that Pine mixed with Citrus coming from him.Misty informed me that Arthur and Raoul gave control back to Fredrick and Nicolas, just like she gave me the option once the hunt and feast were over. However, I had allowed her to finish cleaning her paws before I took back control.Fredrick slides his tongue over my snout, making me giggle. Nicolas growls a little on the other side of me, making me giggle again. I move my head just a little, and he copies what Arthur did, sliding his tongue over the other side of my snout.We watch the pack play and eat for a little longer before Fredrick stands, growls and then jumps from the downed tree we were lying in, Nicolas follows suitKING FREDRICK…When she doesn’t calm down, I feel Nicolas in my head as he says,“Even with what she is saying, my interference at this time would do more harm than good. Now, I know you don’t want to, but you need to dominate her… Not force, just dominate. Show her that you are in control, but that she can still move if she wants to, making her in control as well.” I guess he had learned that the hard way, so do as he says and with a low growl, I tighten my arms around her and roll, turning us over so that she is now underneath me, making sure my legs straddle hers. I then move my arms from underneath her and grab her wrists, moving them and pinning them gently above her head. I then say,“Annalise. Stop. Look at me.”She finally stops struggling and looks at me for a moment before looking away. I didn’t think it was possible for my heart to clench and then st
NICOLAS…Fredrick moves quickly, slipping his arm under her legs and picking her up so that she doesn’t hit the ground as she passes out. He then hands her over to me as I pass him the basketball shorts in my hand. Once he has slipped them on, I turn and start my way back toward the castle. Fredrick steps up next to me and says,“I’ve never seen that side of you, even when you were with Hana.”“I know there is just something about Annalise that brings that side of me to the surface. Even though she is of warrior blood, she seems more fragile than most, making me want to protect, love, and dominate her all at the same time.”As we walk back to the castle in human form, it takes us much longer than normal to make it back to the castle. When we walk through the doors, Douglas and Randolf greet up in the entryway. Douglas looks at me and then at Annalise and says,“Is she okay?”
HUGO...I can't believe it when Randall looks up at the stage and out walks Annalise. I growl low and look around, it is then that I spot Amity standing in the shadows near the stage with a male wolf's arms wrapped around her waist. So that is why she left. He must be her mate, but why take everything that she had on Annalise...My attention is taken from Amity as I hear Alpha Nightmoon say,“Annalise Ethelwulf, would you do me and my pack the honour of becoming my Luna?”He didn't even use her mated name, furious that she is here. Without my permission, I open my mate and master link with her and growled,"ANNALISE, I FORBID YOU TO ACCEPT HIM. YOU ARE TO LEAVE THAT STAGE AND COME TO ME NOW."I feel her fight against me; I growl low in her head and repeat with a little more command,"ANNALISE, RETURN TO MY SIDE NOW..."I can't believe that she still manages to fight off my command. The soft acceptance she manages to whisper makes my blood boil. I take a few deep breaths as I know that
KING FREDRICK… Annalise has been asleep for 48 hours. I spoke to Doc Amity as well as the Royal Healer Dominic. Both said that she should wake soon. She was exhausted not only from what Alpha Randall was subjecting her to but from the Luna ceremony and then the shift, run and hunt. It's amazing that she will be out of that bed this side of a month. However, they both assure me that because Nicolas and I have been staying close, she is recovering quicker. We have been taking turns watching over her, taking a few hours each at a time. I keep hoping that she will wake on my watch, but then I am terrified that if she does, then she will freak out. It is my turn to watch over her, as Nicolas had a quick meeting to attend to. So sit in the chair that I had put under the window so that I can read either work papers or a book as I watch over her sleep. Unfortunately, I am doing pack paperwork this time. However, my atte
KING FREDRICK... I close my eyes as I feel her slide her fingers over and then rest her hand flat on my cheek. I lean into the feeling of sparks and wish for it to never end. She then adds a little pressure, making me lift and turn my head just a little. I open my eyes and look straight into hers. She smiles, “I have never told anyone what it was like with Randall that first time, everyone believed that it was a dream come true and that he gave me the pleasure all mates give each other. Only he didn't and he got worse as time went on. When I did get the courage to actually tell someone what being mated to Randall was like, they didn't believe me, saying that I was with an Alpha mate and there is no way that sex with him would be nothing but mind-blowing pleasure.” “I’m sorry you had to go through that…" Hearing that she had no choice but to complete the mating with him makes me think twice about asking her to be mine. I ha
ANNALISE... I then follow the directions on the note and make my way down to the dining hall. As I step into the doorway, everyone stops talking and looks my way. I feel a blush rise up to my cheeks and take an involuntary step back. Being the Luna in the Lupin Nightstalkers pack you would think that I would be used to being the semi-centre of attention but now that seems so far in the past I feel like I should hide, that I shouldn't be seen unless my owner wishes it... Still taking small steps backward, feeling as if I was intruding, that I don't belong, I watch as both Nicolas and Fredrick get to their feet. However, it is Nicolas who walks down the table until he is standing in front of me. He slides his hand on my cheek, stopping my movements. He smiles and says, “Wow Annalise, you look beautiful! Come sit and eat with us.” As soon as he touches me I relax, I nod my head, and he slides his hand down my neck, over my
ANNALISE…He smiles and I feel a little better, then as everyone goes back to eating and talking, I let go of his hand and start to eat what Paige put on my second helping. I again listen to the low chatter as Nicolas and Fredrick talk.I jump a little when I feel a hand touch mine, but then smile as I feel the sparks and look over at Fredrick. He smiles as he tightens his hand on mine, giving it a slight tug, getting me to lean toward him as he leans closer to me. He then whispers into my ear,“I know this is quick, but will you have dinner with me?”“Won’t we do that, anyway?”I say as I pull back, smiling. However, his smile drops just a little and I lean back closer as he then whispers,“No, Annalise. I mean, will you go on a date with me for dinner tonight?”My eyes go wide and I pull back a little. A date?I haven’t really been on a date. The only one
HUGO…I let out a low groan, slightly opening my mouth, allowing her to slip her tongue into my mouth and add more of her venom, making me feel like I'm on fire and groan again. She then pulls back, and I feel cold and empty. I watch as she motions to someone outside the cell. Two warriors walk into the cell as she steps back a little further. She smiles as she says,"Take him to the cell at the end."They grab my arms and undo the cuffs. Without the chains holding me up, I collapse into their hold. They then drag me out of the cell and down the hall. My eyes go wide as we get to and enter the last cell.I struggle against them as they drag me over and re-chain me. I then struggle against the restraints as the warriors walk out of the cell and the female walks in. She has a smirk on her face as I growl,"Stay away from me, don't touch me..."She laughs as she climbs on the bed I am now lying on;
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
