ANNALISE…I startle a little as I hear Hugo’s warning howl, but I feel a massive wave of relief run through me as we pass over the boundary to the Lupin Nightstalker pack territory.I am surprised when he enters the packhouse without shifting and then when we get upstairs I am expecting him to take me straight to the safe room, return the cuff to my wrist and then punish me for not only running but disobeying a direct command to return to him.He, however, surprises me as he takes me into my old room. Still not myself, I slide off his back when he stops moving and walk over to the window. I watch sightlessly out over the pack and forest. I don’t even realise that Hugo has moved us until I hear him whisper,“Come, let me clean you up, let me care for you.”He then takes us over and into the bathroom. I still can’t seem to move. I don’t know if it's shock or what, but I just don’t seem
CHARMINE… I have never seen Randall like he was with Annalise as she tried to leave the King’s convention. I knew he was treating her badly and was only using her for sex and a pup and that he had started treating her like that before he claimed me and Candace, however; I had never actually seen him like that.He had always still looked to be caring and loving. Not wanting him to turn that temper he was showing toward Annalise on me, I returned to the room as he had instructed. I had a shower and put on one of my cute and revealing lingerie to be prepared for when he returned. I laid down on the bed and waited for Randall to return.I don’t know when I fell asleep, however, when I woke Randall still isn’t by my side. His lack of presence within the room and bed next to me makes me and my wolf Cassey. We know that we have to share him with Candace and I love making love to Randall with Candace’s participation. Howe
CHARMINE… I don’t take much notice of what he continues to say as he grabs me by the hair and then kisses me with the dominance that sets my body on fire. I take a sharp breath in, keeping the scream that he wants to hear from me as he sinks his canines into my mark. Stating his claim over me, I then take a deep breath and even though Annalise doesn’t seem to have her scent, it seems that because he has marked her too, I not only smell Candace fresh on him but her as well. This makes my temper rise once more. I push him back away from me and growl, “You have been with that whore of a slut, too…” The frown on his face makes my temper rise to think he doesn’t know who I am talking about. I can’t stop the growl as I say, “She is not your mate… We are… Stop fucking her…” Randall sends my temper over the edge when he is all calm and rejects my request… No, my demand, to let Annalise go and be satisfied with just us.
RANDALL…I then unwrap my other arm from across my chest, bringing it up and slapping her instead. Her head snaps to the side, but I stop her from falling to the floor and growl.“I gave you the first slap, as you were angry and I did leave you at the hotel without a word. However, you only ever get one, and you will now never hit me again.”I then pull her back toward me before moving my hand from her wrist to her hair and dragging her out of Candace’s room, down the hall, and into her room. I walk over to the bed and throw her onto it. I growl as I lengthen my claws and rip off my sweatpants. I then follow her onto the bed. She looks at me for the first time with fear in her eyes, making a smile tug at my lips as she tries to scramble back further on the bed.I grab her ankle and pull her back toward me, letting her ankle go and using my claws. I remove her jeans and panties. She looks at me with surprise. I the
RANDALL… I stop at Candace’s door, knock softly, open it and walk inside. I am relieved when I don’t see Candace still laying on the floor, however; I do hear her crying. I move over to the bed but she is not there. I then walk over to the bathroom and the sounds of sobbing get louder the closer I get. I push softly on the door and it slowly swings open; I step inside to find Candace laying on the floor in the shower. There is blood everywhere, over the floor and on Candace’s clothes. I pick her up quickly and then race out of the room. I head over to the hospital; I go to link with Doc Amity and don’t find her link. I growl as I remember that she has deserted us, so I go to the next doctor I have in the pack. “Doc Randy… Candace is bleeding. I think she is losing her pup.” “Meet you at the hospital doors, Alpha.” True to his word, he was waiting by the doors with 3 nurses and a gurney. As I place Candace o
CHARMINE… He just seems to chuckle and I feel another two very hard slaps which make me whimper. He then moves his hips. I was expecting him to get off, but I then can’t hold in my scream as he slams his cock deep inside me. He then leans forward a little, using his hold on my hands to keep me still as he starts to thrust his hips hard, deep, and slow. He then reaches up, sliding his hand into my hair. He tightens his hold and then pulls back as he leans down next to my ear and whispers, “You may be my mate and the new Luna of this pack, but don’t think for one second that you are above me. I may be your mate, but I am still your Alpha and you are still bound and expected to be punished when you attack another pack member for no reason other than jealousy.” “Randall, please, I’m sorry. Stop. You’re hurting me…” He seems to chuckle and increases his thrusts, making them harder and faster until he is grunting and groaning
ANNALISE…“No. What else?” “What do you mean, what else?” He is really getting on my nerves. I gave him what he wanted. I told him I wasn’t going to leave. What more could he want from me?... I think about it but still can’t think of anything until I hear a little of Hugo within the tone as he repeats,“What else, Annalise?”I know I agreed to it, but to have to repeat it is making me feel sick. I don’t want to be with him; I don’t want to stay with him; I don’t want him touching me, but I know that if I don’t, then I will end up in the safe room for the rest of my life. So I send more of my anger and frustration at him and say,“Fine, I will stay with you…” ‘Just as long as you keep to your end of the deal too… Jerk!’ I think to myself before adding t
ANNALISE…I don’t know how long I was standing at the window just looking out, thinking, when I am startled by the sound of the lock on the door being unlocked. I don’t turn around as I know who it is, as he is the only one with the key.Randall walks up behind me, wraps his arms around my waist, and then leans his chin on my shoulder as he pulls my body back into his. I know I said I didn’t want him to touch me, however, I also can’t stop him and then you have the fact that the mate bond makes my body not only crave his but melt into him when he touches it.I sigh such an impossible situation I am in, not wanting something but not having a choice but to have it. Randall then places a few soft kisses up my neck to my ear, where he whispers,“Sorry for locking you in, but I needed to be sure you were aware of what you agreed to before I allowed you to roam the pack again.”“I understa
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
