RANDALL…
Charmine moves, breaking me out of my staring at her, and walks over, stopping next to me. She frowns and looks over as there is a banging on the side wall. She then looks back at me and says,
“What was that?”
“Never mind…”
Knowing not to push, she leaves it at that and places her hand on my shoulder before sliding it down my chest. She then moves closer as she whispers,
“Baby, you’re tense. Is there something wrong?”
I look over her shoulder at the wall and envision Annalise standing with her hands on the wall door and occasionally still banging on it, trying to get me to let her out. I know it won't work as I used to do the same thing when my father used to put me in there.
I then look back at Charmine as she slides one of her hands up and onto my cheek while she slides the other one down to slide over the bulge Annalise left in my pants, which was re
ANNALISE… With Randall's threat that no one will help or rescue me from this nightmare going round and round in my head, I don’t fight him and allow him to lead me down the stairs and out the front of the packhouse. He walks me up to one of the cars, opens the door, and helps me in before shutting it again. I am a little surprised when he doesn’t get in after me until I remember that he would be travelling with Charmine this time. I look over, knowing that he wouldn’t let me travel alone; I expect to see Wallace or Virion as they are his most trusted, however, the warrior that greets me I haven't seen before. The warrior doesn't pay me any attention. He didn’t even seem to acknowledge that I had entered and now sat next to him. So I sit back and look out the window. Being in that small room again has cut me off from Misty and made me feel weak and tired. I lean my head on the window and doze a little before jolting awake as the car comes to
ANNALISE… When King Fredrick doesn’t move away from us but seems to take a closer step toward me, I can see that Randall is starting to lose his patience and his temper. King Fredrick then says,“Alpha Remington, I would love a dance with your Luna here, if I may?”I see him frown and I can tell he wants to say ‘no’, just like he has been doing all evening. However, to refuse the King at an event like this wouldn’t go down too well, so as he says,“Of course, your highness.”He links me at the same time. “Remember, he will not help you escape me. If anything, he may insist that you service him… One dance, then back to my side, understand?”“Yes, Alpha.” He growls down the link and I know he had once again wanted me to call him Master as the burning in my slave mark tells me I just disobeyed him. When he fina
ANNALISE… Still fighting the tears in my eyes and as my emotions are all over the place, I say,“I’m going home. Stay here with Charmine, enjoy her body and I will be waiting at home for your return tomorrow…”He then pulls me towards him and growls first over his shoulder,“Charmine, baby. Go up to our room, wait for me there.”She goes to whine but stops and looks at Randall and then at me and for the first time, I actually see worry and maybe even a little sadness mixed with pity pass through her eyes before she turned and hurried back into the Hotel’s main section. He then turns back to me.“I saw King Fredrick leave the dance floor. Why did it take you so long to return to my side?”I whimper at the tightness of his grip on my arm but don’t answer him. This only makes him angrier. He then whispers as he pulls me into his body and leans in
NICOLAS… I nod my head in her direction and say to Fredrick, “That’s her, the one in the midnight black dress that looks like it has been soaking in the stars.” I flick my eyes from Annalise over to Fredrick and don’t miss how his eyes go wide when he finds her in the crowd. He then says, “Wow, Bro. She is something and I haven’t even approached her yet.” I know how he feels and I know why, everyone is drawn towards a descendant daughter of the Moon Goddess. It is just how they are. However, there is something off about her tonight. Fredrick removes his hand from my shoulders and then straightens, fixing up his suit before stepping out of where we were talking. I watch as he slowly made his way around the room until he made it round to where Alpha Randall and Annalise were standing. I see Randall bow his head and Annalise does a little awkward curtsy as he still refuses to remove his hands from her. I watch as
ANNALISE…I am brought back to Randall and what he is doing as I hear material tear. I then feel his hands on the bare skin of my thigh as he slides it up until he reaches my panties. He grabs the piece that sits on my hip and pulls, ripping it from my body, making me whimper a little from the material digging into the skin on my other hip and inner thigh before it actually gives and rips.Even as I feel the burning of the slave mark on my shoulder, I fight and struggle against him, as I say,“NO! Get off, I will no longer let you do this to me…”Again, he just seems to chuckle as he manages to force his knees between my legs. He then leans forward, stopping just before his lips touch mine, and smirks,“You have no choice… MATE!” The sound of Hugo sends a shiver of fear through me but after tonight and the realisation that the pup was indeed Mr Nightmoon’s
RANDALL… I have always suspected that he had a crush on her, as he never found his mate. I then turn to Virion and say, “Virion, you stay here just in case Annalise managed to get away from them and come back here. Wallace, you're with me. She was heading in the direction of that creek just outside the Northwestern border.” Virion wasn’t happy, but he followed my orders as Wallace and I ran into the woods. We didn’t shift and about halfway to the spot on the creek, Wallace says, “You weren't ambushed, and she didn't run from others. She ran from you, didn't she?” I sigh. I have to tell him the truth, to let him know how important it is that we find her. I just hope he doesn't push his old position of protecting her, or the consequences for him may not be good.“She did. However, Wallace, we need to find her." "What's the urgency of having to find her? She is a wolf... Wait, Randall, what have you done?" "I... I... She’s been in the containment cell…” Wallace was one of the few
NICOLAS… I follow him to the car but I am not quick enough to stop him from throwing Annalise into it or stop him from getting in and then stopping the car from pulling away. I stand on the curb and watch as the rear lights disappear down the road. I thought about calling for my car and following until my phone goes off in my pocket. Against everything in me, I take one more look down the street before pulling my phone out of my pocket, flipping it open and placing it to my ear as I say, “Alpha Nightmoon.” “Alpha, I have it…” “Randolf?” “Yes, Alpha. I have what you need to get Annalise away from Alpha Remington.” “Really? Did he really document everything?” “Yes, but I also have one better.” “Randolf? What did you find?”
THIRD PERSON… Amity knows that she knows too much for Randall to allow her to leave, so she knows that this is the only way she would ever have a chance to be free with her mate. Virion rubs his palm hard on his chest as he still feels the sudden separation from Wallace pulsing there. He then looks at Amity and says, “I only stayed for Wallace, he was my mate but because Randall doesn’t like males with other males unless they are with him sharing a couple of females, we never sealed the mate bond between us but we never rejected each other either, being close to each other was enough however with him now gone... I have nothing here. May I go with you?”Amity looks at Randolf who nods his head, knowing how good of a warrior Virion is, he knows that Nicolas will accept him into the pack with no problems. Randolf then asks,“Of course. Did you need to get anything?”“No. I only have clo
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
