NICOLAS…
Randolf gets to his feet and walks over to the door, opens it and sticks his head out, says something to Mel. Mel then passes him a folder. He then thanks her, closes the door and then returns to his seat. Once seated, he then opens the file and continues,
“He was good when he was first hired and he moved up in position very quickly. However, his work was starting to slack off around 10 years ago and then 5 years ago we started receiving small complaints about him not doing his job properly, losing money for clients, misrepresenting other clients and stating false statements as facts…”
“Let me guess, he had then suddenly and miraculously turned back into his brilliant self around 3 years ago, right?”
He looks and scans the file in front of him and then says,
“Yes, that’s right. How did you know that?”
“Because it was 6 months after Annalise started workin
NICOLAS… I then reach over and pick up Annalise’s file and look up her contact number. I then give the folder and one of the forms to Alice and say, “Your paperwork Alice. When you return to your office, can you please adjust Mrs Remington’s file to say that she still works here?” Alice takes both from me and nods her head before turning and leaving the office, closing the doors behind her. I then enter Annalise’s number, except it goes straight to voice mail. I don’t want to tell her that she still has her job over the phone, so I just leave a simple message, “Mrs Remington, this is Mr Nightmoon. If you could call me back, I would like to speak to you.” I then hang up. I have a feeling that after the scene at lunch, I will not hear back from her as he will not let her. My temper just starts to rise once more as there is a soft knock on the door and I know straight away that it is my secretary. I smile and say, “Enter.” Mel opens the doors again and steps to the side as she says
NICOLAS… After a few moments, Raoul looks left and then right. He waits a few moments more before stepping over the boundary line. He then takes off running, following that vanilla rose and strawberry scent. We don’t come across any patrols and I smile as I now know what he was doing as he ran along the boundary line. He was scanning and looking for where the patrols were. We follow the scent to a little old rundown shack. Raoul moves quietly through the trees and keeps his senses open at all times, even as he is drawn in by her scent. He walks all around the shack and when he finds the window; he jumps inside. I shake my mental head at him as he sniffs around the room and finds where the scent is the most concentrated and then sits before lying down and rolling in it. I shake my head at him again. He has never done anything like this, even when we found Hana. He was drawn to her, and we both loved her, but what he is doing now it is li
RANDALL…At hearing this, at first, I am shocked as I had never thought that she would be capable of cheating on me. I slowly pull out of her and move back, getting off the bed. I just watch her, not really feeling anything as she stayed laid out in front of me.However, as she slowly moves sitting up and moving away from me to the other side of the bed, it seems to sink in. My mate cheated on me and she is now carrying his pup. Hugo then loses it, and I can’t control the rage that runs through me. I move fast, moving around the bed to the other side.I grab her by the hair and drag her from the bed. All I see at the moment are red-tinged images of Annalise spread out on a bed like she just was for me. However, instead, she has another male thrusting his hips between her legs, enjoying the pleasure that is only mine to enjoy.She grabs my hand and struggles against me as she whimpers and begs for me to stop and let her
RANDALL… I growl as again I see the images that Hugo had conjured up, while I was punishing her of another male thrusting his hips into our beautiful mate. “Oh, okay. Yes, I have something that you can use…” “Good. Give it to me.” “Um… It will take me a moment, as I need to mix a couple of different meds together.” I nod and watch as she gets to her feet, walks over to the cabinets on the wall, opens one of the doors, and checks a few of the small vials in there before she pulls out three vials full of clear liquid, placing them on the counter below the cabinets. She then moves down two steps and opens another door and pulls out an empty vial, joining that one with the full ones. She then walks back toward me and opens a drawer, pulling out four syringes. She picks up the first syringe and removes the packaging and then picks up the first vial. She inserts the syringe into the vial and pulls back on the plunger, fillin
ANNALISE… I woke with agonising pain running through my entire body. It took me a little while to remember why I would be in so much pain. I knew that Randall would’ve been pissed, but I hadn’t expected him to totally lose it completely when he found out I was pregnant with someone else. I wince as I slowly move my arm and then my hand to slide it over the red marks that are still there from his punishment.Misty whimpers in my head as my hand stops and rests on my stomach. I just hope my pup survived his harsh punishment. With my body still in agonising pain, I don’t fight the darkness as it surrounds me and takes me back into its peaceful embrace.I then stir when I feel the bed dip, I then flinch when I feel a slight sting and then a light burning in my arm which disappears within moments. Misty whimpers in my head again, before going quiet.I then relax as two arms wrap around me, making the light tingles spr
RANDALL… I love the way she melds into me, the way she moves, and when she actually explodes with pleasure around me, I can’t help but feel like I am in heaven. Only this time is shadowed by what she did, shadowed by the fact that she willingly allowed another male to fuck her.I can’t help the rage that builds back up inside me at this thought and that he would have been lying right where I was between her legs. I hadn't planned to continue her punishment this morning, but the thoughts of another male doing what I am now doing have me wanting to hear her screams of pleasured pain that I pull from her during my punishments.I feel the moment that she stops enjoying the movements of our bodies, and then starts struggling against me. This, of course, just excites me more, making me lose some of my control and I increase my thrusts harder and faster. I am then surprised when she whimpers and then sobs, saying that it actua
RANDALL...I follow her out of the room, down the hall and then down another before leading me into a private room. Amity opens the door and allows me to enter. She follows me in and checks the machine that is connected to her and then walks back over to the door, stopping just before she exits and says,“She will be out for a few more hours yet and then when she wakes, she will be very groggy and weak. She won't like it, but she will need someone close to her at all times for at least the next week.”“Thank you, Amity. Don’t worry, she will never be alone and I will see to it that she takes it easy…”“Alpha, that also means no sex. After what she went through today, her body needs time to recover…”I nod to let her know that I had heard her, however; I don’t know if I can leave her alone for a few hours, let alone a week. I could tell that she wanted to say more but mus
NICOLAS… It has been weeks and Annalise hasn’t rung me back and hasn’t even tried to come into work from what Thalia has said she hasn’t been meeting her for lunch or answering any of her calls either and when she rings Alpha Remington, he just says that she is busy and will return her call when she becomes available. I don’t think Alpha Randall will ever allow her to be available after what I saw and then with what Thalia had told me and Alpha Bridger. I sit back in my chair at my desk in the packhouse and rub my hand up and down my face. Raoul is going nuts in my head, wanting to go and get Annalise, wanting to rescue her from that pack, from that monster. However, without an accreditable reason for entering the Lupin Nightstalker pack, I would be doing nothing but starting a war between my pack and his. I know my pack would wipe his out but that is not what I want and for some reason with watching the warriors that day not all of them know what happens or are involved with whatev
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
