Ivan changed back to his wolf form and rested next to his wife and babies. Hours later Marcus picked Amy up and carried her to their room.

She was exhausted, but it was a good feeling. Marcus cuddled her in his arms as she fell asleep. He held her as he lay awake throughout the night. He was thinking of how lucky he was, but at the same time, he was afraid of the future and knew he had to deal with Victoria for the last time. He always knew it was his responsibility to kill her and recognized that he owed her the end she wanted. The thought of Victoria's death no longer brought sadness. It brought completeness and was something he should have done long ago. He looked at the woman in his arms and knew he could not live without her. Nothing and no one would take her from him.

When she began to stir, Marcus picked her up and carried her into the shower.

"I could wake up like this every day," she said and began kissing his chest as the water washed over them.

    Another week passed and preparations for the babies' naming ceremony began. The other U.S. wolf clans would send envoys and there was a lot of work ahead. It was important for Marcus to show the strength of his clan as well as build trust among his allies. Dealing with different packs was always walking a fine line in diplomacy. The other clans had heard about his recent problems with the pride queen and expected to learn the latest news while attending the celebration. Marcus' clan was the largest in the U.S. and his fight could be theirs too.Amy was given free rein in the party preparations and she had a blast. She had never thrown a party and had no idea how much fun it would be. Alba grumbled but went along.It was obvious Alba had forgiven Ivan. He was never seen far from her side and Alba did very little growling when he was around regardless of which form she took. Ivan had taken her out for a few runs since the babies were born and Alba always appeared more relaxed when she

    A few hours later, a loud knock sounded, on the door, at the top of the stairs. Mary was crying on the other side. Alba released Amy's hand and raced up the stairs. When she threw open the door, she could see tears on Mary's face. Alba placed her hand on Mary's shoulder and then stopped. She could smell the cats on her."What have you done?"Tossed backwards down the stairs, Alba was unable to stop herself from falling. The cats poured into the cellar. Victoria entered and stood glaring down at Alba as she laughed. She looked at Amy and the babies; then gestured to her cats to leave the cellar. "They're mine. I don't need help to finish this." Her gaze met Alba's with terrifying directness. "Oh Alba, more children for me; I thought the pain of losing the other two would keep you from wanting to suffer more."Alba was injured, but she started crawling to her children.Mary spoke, "What do you want with them? I thought it was Amy you wanted to kill." She looked desperate and wanted V

    Philip said that Ivan left the house carrying the body of his wife. Marcus knew he should let him be alone with Alba but he couldn't. He followed Ivan's scent trail and walked miles into the woods. He heard the mournful howling long before he reached his friend.Ivan was nude and was sitting with his wife in his arms. The damage done to Alba's body brought fury to Marcus even through his wall of grief.It took a moment for Marcus to realize Ivan was speaking to him. "I can't survive without her. I want you to kill me. I need to be with her."Marcus knew Ivan asked the impossible of him. "Ivan I'm here to help, but I can't let you go. You are as much a part of me as Alba was part of me and I'm selfish. I need you; your children need you. I'm so sorry and I don't know how any of us will survive without her."The yell of grief that came from Ivan was shattering. Marcus knew he didn't have a choice and acted quickly. Taking blood would do what it always did and give the donor what he n

    The hours passed swiftly and few words were spoken. Alba and Ivan's sons Asia, Conner and Duncan had a lost look on their faces. Columbus, the oldest, was the rock they all needed. Even Ivan was deferring to him.Amy did not know the brothers as well as she did Ivan and Alba, but she loved them. They were her family. They knew how much Alba cared about Amy and it meant a lot to them that she shared their grief.Marcus and Ivan left for a short time before the procession began. When they returned, both had red rimmed eyes. Amy could feel the sadness of the entire pack. She wasn't reading their minds, but she could feel the waves of sorrow they emanated.When it was time, they walked to the mourning site. Ivan carried the babies. They remained in human form and their small bodies had blankets tightly wrapped around them, more for emotional comfort than protection from the cold. They stayed quiet and needed the solace only their father could provide.Amy never knew her father. He died

    Two weeks later...The scream came from the kitchen area. Amy ran through the house and arrived in the room where Sierra was sitting on the cold tile floor screaming at the top of her lungs. Amy glanced around to see what the problem was. Roland was on the other side of the room being held by Philip. He was whimpering softly. It was obvious Sierra didn't appreciate being second to her brother. Amy knew Sierra received the most attention so something was up. She looked expectantly at Philip."If Roland survives his sister, it will be a miracle. She bit him on his leg."Amy walked over and took Roland into her arms. Sure enough, he had a perfect set of teeth marks on his leg. Amy couldn't believe how much the babies had grown in the past two weeks. Human teeth were another surprise and Amy herself had been on the sharp end of Sierra's.The little she devil continued to cry and finally her brother Conner came in and picked her up. She could always count on one of her brothers to giv

    Current day...The quietly opening door at the top of the stairs jarred Emily from her stupor. She scrambled to her feet and tensed, sniffing the air. She listened to the routine sounds with a growing sense of dread. No food. Her stomach clenched tightly with hunger and fear. She listened to the clicking steps as her mother made her way down into the darkness. A light went on in the outer room and glowed under the heavy wooden door. The outside bar lifted and the hinges creaked when it slid open. Emily squinted at the sudden brightness. Her heart sank when her eyes confirmed what her nose had known; through the bars she could see Carolynn's empty hands. No food.Her mother grabbed the hose rod and though this normally caused terror, today was different. Something was going on within Emily's body. She was on fire and she was burning up from the inside. It had been this way for several weeks, but the feeling was now more intense. Despite the lack of food, she felt stronger. She wasn'

    Dying during a challenge for alpha wasn't Brandt's original plan. But the fight continued and he realized it would solve his biggest problem; his lack of a desire to live.Cheri, his clan leader and the vampire who could help him heal from death injuries, was in Europe working to bring the overseas clans into the 21st century. So far, her success was minimal.Brandt knew she would be one pissed off vampire when she returned and found him dead. Not that it mattered because he wouldn't be around to feel her wrath. And, she would have no choice but to accept Clem if he won the challenge for alpha. Pack rules dictated that if Clem killed him, he deserved the alpha title. Unfortunately, the pack did not deserve Clem.Brandt's blood flowed and his life essence slowly faded. Over five hundred years old, three hundred of those years spent being leader of his pack, and a young barely two-hundred-year-old pup was getting the best of him.

    Brandt's wounds healed quickly from the enzymes in Cheri's bites. However, his despair didn't lessen. He knew his father sent the distress call to their queen.

He needed a reason to live.A soft knock on his door signaled an unwelcome guest. That, the individual could block their mind signature from him, the Alpha of the pack, immediately told Brandt who was knocking and that he couldn't deny him entry.With a resigned sigh, Brandt told his father to come in.Pausing just inside the room, Thomas took a deep breath. He raised his son with pride and honor and tried to keep violence away from him, but early on it was apparent Brandt would one day lead the pack. To do so, Brandt had to kill Thomas' best friend.

    VedaWe hear the music before the lights come into view. The party is outside on the large patio at Dmitri's house. Nikka decorated with white sparkling lights and paper lanterns. The music is unknown to me, which isn't a surprise. Technology is not my friend and I prefer the peace of the forest.Dmitri's voice echoes over the music. "Welcome, Veda, Witch from the line of Josephine, mate to Tyboll, and new member of the bear clan."The music shuts off suddenly and I can do nothing but return the formal greeting. "Thank you, Black Demon Bringer of Death, mate of Nikka, Liege to the bear clan."A restless mumble from the bears fills the night. Have I said something wrong? Tyboll's hand tightens on mine. Nikka appears slightly shocked before she steps forward and wraps me in her arms. "What have I done," I ask her silently."You're fine. He just hasn't used his full title in centuries," she replies into my mindI turn to Dmitri, who looks at his mate with a soft smile. "I am sorry,

    TybollShe shows me her circle of herbs - explains about upsetting the balance and using all the Goddess's gifts wisely. I listen. Part of me is terrified and the other in awe. To live separately from everyone to hide your secrets takes great sacrifice.She understands my need to examine what I've learned. She heads to the cabin to cook while I go running as bear. She holds no fear that I will give away her secrets. We are mates. Her secrets are mine.I close my mind from Dmitri as I think about all Veda has told me. I shouldn't have been surprised when the largest bear of our clan blocks my path a few miles from my cabin. The Kodiak, alpha to the greatest clan, stands in front of me. He is also my brother by blood and like most brothers, we have our differences. This situation will be no different."Tyboll," his snarly voice rings through my head."Alpha," I reply pleasantly."You don't fool me. You are mated to the witch. Did it occur to you that I should be informed of this?"

    VedaTyboll's new rule works. Less talking and more sex. This is one demand I am incapable of dismissing. We are stretched out on the bed with me lying on top of him. His fingers run up and down my back while he breathes into the hair against my neck. Where he bit me is sore, but I wouldn't dream of complaining. It feels right. Being in my mate's arms is right. I whisper a silent thank you to the Goddess.Tyboll answers. "You're welcome."I roll my eyes, but don't bother correcting him. I'm actually thankful to him, too."Come on, woman, we're taking a bath." He lifts me as he stands. I'm cradled in his arms and feel incredibly safe. And loved.Does he love me? I'm careful to keep this thought from drifting into his mind. Nikka told me how to do it. I just need to practice. He doesn't respond, so I must have been successful. Tyboll lowers my feet to the floor when we're in the bathroom. I watch as he leans over and turns on the water. His back and thighs are muscular and sexy. His

    Tyboll"I've listened to you shout for an hour now. Calm yourself, bear."I hear the end of patience in Dmitri's voice. I take several deep breaths and try to do as my liege says. It isn't easy. I keep thinking of meat. Each time I do, I feel nauseated and my anger rekindles. To never eat meat again is not going to happen. I've run out of things to say anyway and throw myself onto the large couch in Dmitri's front room."I knew this happened last night. Your blood smells even better than bear. You now have witch blood running through your veins." He holds up his hand. "Do not blame me for my silence. You were in no condition to have this conversation. I also needed a night to think on what needs to be done."My stomach twists painfully. "You cannot reverse it is what you're saying?""No, I cannot. I'm not sure if you will actually want it reversed once you know your capabilities." He continues before I can object. "The difference between you and your mate is that I trust you."I

    VedaThat did not go well. I didn't think it would, but I held onto a small amount of hope. I know eventually he will come to his senses. Right now, though, I am left in need. Staring at his bare chest and wanting to run my nails over his muscled flesh almost made me beg. The man might be stubborn, but he is gorgeous.As a mated pair, I know at this point we should be having so much sex that we are both sore. I've made plenty of tinctures to alleviate the soreness so mates can continue without a break.A lot of good the knowledge on how to make such a tincture is now. If I'm not running from Tyboll, the stupid man is running from me. It's strange because after the thought of Tyboll becoming a witch settled, I wanted to celebrate. I am not alone. I can share the sacred knowledge with another. I do not need a child. I will no longer be alone with the great texts.Tyboll might not like it, but the gift bestowed by the Goddess can only be undone by her. No vampire can help him. I decid

    TybollI wake from what feels like a winter hibernation. I'm starving and the rumble in my stomach only enhances my need for food. Something smells wonderful. I'm naked in my bed and vaguely recall my illness the night before. I remember Dmitri coming to the rescue. I also remember my thoughts that Veda poisoned me again. Unlikely, because I ate nothing before going to Mandy's. She is a witch, though, and there's no telling what they're capable of.My nose leads me to the kitchen. Veda stirs a large pot on the stove. I peer over her shoulder to see what has such an amazing smell. Without looking at me she speaks, "Clothes or I will not feed you, bear.""Humph." I wrap my arms around her and run my nose down the side of her face and stop at her neck. "I could eat you, woman, and I'd start right here." She stops stirring the pot. I can smell her arousal. I bite down gently on the skin holding my attention. "How did you know I'm not dressed?" I breathe against the mark I've just left.

    VedaStupid hare-brained bear, I mutter as I look the other way, pick up the slab of nearly raw meat, and toss it out of the cabin. Serving cooked meat was the hardest thing to do while I worked at the diner. The only blessing was that Becky didn't prepare the blood-dripping horror I just got rid of. I look through the kitchen and there are no vegetables. I settle on bread and cheese, though I'm no longer hungry. I just know I need to eat."You stay here or when I find you I'll lock you up," were the last words Tyboll yelled before he left.I thought about challenging his dictate, but right now I am too tired. I finish my meal and walk outside in the opposite direction from the barely cooked meat. My hope is that a wild animal will take it away in the night. This is what I did with all the meat given to me over the years by the bear clan as payment. My mother accepted their offering and then gave it to the wildlife, so I did the same. Maybe I should have said something, but politene

    TybollThe feelings running through me are impossible to comprehend. It took hours to drive to Dmitri's club and another hour to track Veda's scent and find the diner. The closer I came, the more insistent an inner... well... buzz intensified. When our eyes finally met, I felt as if a mountain had crumbled over me. I fought collapsing at her feet. I knew it was her witch's power and wondered if she cast a spell that made it difficult for me to come close to her.I continued thinking this until her lips met mine. Now we're on the floor and she's wrapped in my arms. Words that turn me into an utter pussy slip from my mouth and I don't care. If it bothers her so much that she leaves me, I won't call her woman. Though, she is. A beautiful woman."I can hear your thoughts," she sighs against my neck. "Maybe the word woman is not so bad." She lifts up slightly and stares at me. "I've never done this, Tyboll. I've had very little interaction with anyone. I never thought to have a mate. You

  • Fang Chronicles   Chapter 259: Part 7

    VedaWhy is the pull to a mate so strong? I pour over the great texts expecting the answer it usually offers. Nothing. I've read sections about mating, but they don't offer a solution to the problem.Mating is a bond that only death can sever. A witch's power is not stronger than the bond and a witch shall not interfere with a mated pair.Blah, blah, blah. My mother told me not to mess with a mated pair. I understand this. But now I'm part of a mated pair. I need answers about a witch mating and there is nothing.A witch will take a human male into her body. A female child will form from this union. You will know the time to search out your human. Do not call the power of your beast when in the human's arms. Control your beast or bear the consequences.It's too late for that. Tyboll and I allowed our bears to rise when we mated. Now I feel Tyboll pulling my power from me. Can he feel it? He must. The texts are written for a human and witch. Not a beastkind and witch.
