Lilith's POVIt feels as if I’m caught up in the votes of a hurricane, the memories swirling around me as I grasp onto anything that might give me stability. I’m in one for a long moment and then ripped out and thrust into another not of my own accord.Currently I’m watching the day I went to meet baby Arlo…I have everything ready whilst sitting in the kitchen waiting for Theo to come back from his walk.He promised to take me to Tabby so that I could see them for myself and deliver the flowers, food and cookies.I know they've asked for space but I think as Luna and alpha of the pack, we deserve to visit them after such a monumental occasion.Anyway, Tabby and Leo agreed staying for us to come right after the doctor who went there around an hour ago.So as soon as Theo surfaces through the trees in the yard I bounce with happiness whilst gather the basket and Lora in one go.I'm ready to leave before he even walks through the back door."Can we go now?" I ask.He smirks at me, seein
Theo's POVThe day has been hard and that only made me crave to fall asleep besides Lil as she lay sleeping, so to speak. She body is still, just as much as any other day over the last few weeks, yet despite the medical apparatus surrounding Khai’s side of the bed.These are the rare few hours we have alone where the nurses aren’t constantly checking on her. Though they do have access to the monitors downstairs to ensure nothing untoward is happening.They are as confused as much as we are, there now being no known reason as to why Lil is still unconscious.Christ… I hope she wakes up soon. Otherwise they’ll be medically taking the twins out without her permission.I roll to my side, watching her sleep peacefully, allowing my own tiredness to take me under its grasp…Having a mate leads you through many internal emotions as you move through life experiencing one another's emotions during momentous situations that we find one another in.But having more than one, and especially whilst
Lilith's POVHave you ever watched one of those really old films in one of those black boxes that cut out at the end with wavy white lines and that horrid static noise?That’s what’s happening to me now.One moment I’n one memory only to be ripped into static, then thrust once more into another.I can’t keep my head straight, my line of sight seems to be blurred and my emotions aren’t catching up quick enough.But right now I’m burning. A familiar burn that didn’t happen so long ago.I’m remembering my heat. That day I fell pregnant with…Oh Christ, how had I forgotten?My boys, my twins… how had I glazed over their existence?~~~At first I hadn't noticed what was wrong with me.I just thought spending time alone with Khai was carrying me through some sort of whimsical feeling but I figured it out pretty quickly when I couldn't stop from finding some sort of release that brought me an endorphin filled rush.Khai has been more than happy to oblige to all of my begging, my dry humping
Hati's POVDeath, destruction... despair, it sits on my tongue as walk throughThose are the things I have given humanity, specifically those belonging to Celeste and Theseus. Those are the things I feel are necessary when thinking of the future generations all because I am made to be this entity that I do not want to be. The question of why do I need to repeat life cycle after life cycle when I've already suffered life without parol is always the first thing I think of when my eyes open. Yet it's days like today, where the air seems thick with unknown that I need the company of Belle. My mate is out there and I shouldn't want another female but yet her I am, failing to stop myself from falling further in love with this girl that was once just a toy from the coven. I suppose you many would call me a weak man but the thing is even if I took my mate now, she wouldn't be physically ready for me so I have come to the conclusion that Belle has at least thirteen to fourteen years of us
Lilith's POVI wake disorientated to Khai bringing me my baby.Lora has been unsettled for much of the day apparently, screaming so angrily that her poor little cheeks are flustered and her eyes blood shot.I have no clue of what's wrong with her but I think it might be to do with the fact we abandoned her for the last few days.She's unsettled and refusing to eat, and if I couldn't know better I'd have said she was upset and angry.I can understand that, I really can.I went into my body, allowed my hormones to rule me and in turn I left her to be looked after by god knows who.I hadn't stepped back, I hadn't ensured she was okay...I was in heat and I allowed that to rule me.I try feeding her but she's having none of it.I've tried cuddling, cradling, walking around with her in the sling but she's still having none of it.Khai tried to help me, he stays with me feeding me, reassuring me but he can read the things going through my mind, he can feel the guilt I feel for leaving her.
Hati's POVI wake to the girl sleeping besides me, not having moved or struggled away and despite my past affliction I've cuddled her all night because I need that. Which is not something I had chosen to do in the past. I roll to my back looking to the ceiling with a sigh as I think about last night and what the warriors uncovered after all these months of searching.They’ve found Aspen, and no less found my mate in the hill of my rival.Theodore Moon… why hadn’t I summed that up myself?I have no emotional pull to the child itself, at least I do not currently feel one. But I know that Aspen resides I side her and that makes me feel the need to take her. But the problem has arisen that we bow know where Aspen is being kept, and we also know the dislike that will be poured into her from her unfortunate parents.She’ll be poisoned, and I cannot have that. And though I know the probability is slim to none of actually taking, I cannot let go of the thought of doing such things.Turnin
Theo's POVI hate seeing Lilith lay this still, her boy almost wasting away as her stomach swells with our children inside her.The days have become long, the evenings even longer.It’s as if I’m watching her waste away before me and some days…. Christ some days I sit and wonder whether she will never truly wake from whatever state this is.Tonight Lora’s being fussy, inconsolable actually yet it’s only me available at home because Khai’s run to help out a few pack members who have had a leak within their home.Over the weeks we’ve left our roles to my father and Lucas, the lack of interest in the pack only becoming more evident.And though I’m comfortable knowing they will protect us, it doesn’t mean I don’t worry about the happenings that I’ve all but lacked to care about. Lora wails her little head off against my chest as I cradle her between Lil and me, and though her mothers there and she’s touching her, tonight that doesn’t seem to be working for Lora.Her behaviour remains a m
Hati's POVI'm cannot think of anything but the possibility to have Aspen home. To have her within my hold, to watch Belle bring her up. Belle.Beautiful Belle, I can feel her pacing around the home, her anxiety on point with my own.I follow her footfalls avidly, feeling her very being so vividly despite her being upstairs me down. Yet just the thought of Aspen makes me snap back into reality and away from poor Belle. What am I doing?Why am I infatuated with this girl when Aspen is heading home to me?You feel a connection, something more than you’d like to admit… Hati. Fuck. Yes, my emotions fray and that only in turn makes me angry as I deal with the fallout of why I feel like this for a girl that was but a witch sent here for me to enjoy. Why now? Why her?Celeste… you’re playing games with me, aren’t you?Never had I imagined that my love for Aspen would fracture, but it has and that angers me beyond anything I've ever felt for myself. Though I push it aside though, concen
Zeus's POVThey say evil rules the world, and I'd like to agree wholly especially as I watch Hati finally take the child that will soon become the queen of the earth realm.Theseus died some years ago at my hand as we fought for the title of god. I took his wonderful wife in as my prisoner, indebting her to me at the promise I would let her child, and the grandchildren live peacefully.But I did no such thing. Bringing Theo, Khai and Lilith here to the god realm to be my prisoners with their dear children as they also live out their lives locked within the house they cannot leave.Most believed Theseus would win, that he would take over from me, including his family.But love weakens you, and Goddess Adophen aided me in his demise.She has the gift of projection, and she distracted him easily as she projected herself as his wife and then daughter, taking his concentration and that love that is not a man’s best friend.I'm thankful for her, and I promised her that her daughter and son
15 years LaterHati's POVThe time has come, my beautiful Lorrie has come into her wolf, and I can feel the mate bond calling for her.She's been feeling it too, and though I've kept myself away for the last week I cannot stop the inevitable for much longer.Belle has given her blessing, she's taking the other kids, all five of them, out to the other house for the weekend to give me time with Lorrie alone.It's time for me to claim my mate and create the Luna our pack deserves.So I have Calley cook us dinner, stopping her twice to take her in uncompromising positions as she mutters her disapproval very loudly.And then I lock her down in the cells below the house for the remainder of the weekend intent on making sure she knows her place within this pack.Soon she'll have to answer to Lorrie instead of Belle. She'll have to bow down to her luna's disappointment and she's already made a distant enemy of Aspen over the years."Bring me the luna," I demand to Belle as she gathers our chi
Hati's POVTrue to a wolf pregnancy Belle is only pregnant for around nine weeks, her belly swelling fast as she grows my pup within her.And one fateful night as the wind howls and the rain falls she starts her labour as we lay our son to sleep.Lorrie refuses to go down and starts to get in the way as Belle circles on the floor through her pain as Lorrie tries to hold onto her mothers hands."Mama, up," she cries asking for up as she outstretched her arms up to Belle who looks to me for help as she winces once more."Calley," I yell out, intent on having Lorrie away from this ordeal, knowing I have no one else I'd rather trust with the child.Yes she might well have an ulterior motive, but I have no doubt that she would die for this kid. Anyway, I don't want to scar the child, I don't want her to remember her mother in pain when I want her to have only good memories of her.It takes Calley a moment but she comes, knocking on the door in her pj's as she looks at the vision before he
One Year LaterHati's POVLorrie has turned into a funny little thing. She's walking and talking in toddler gibberish and I fall in love with her more everyday as she fills our life with fun and happiness.I can see why Celeste matched her soul to Aspens. She's spunky, confident and happy just like Aspen has always been. We ended up relocating around three to four months ago, coming out of hiding, leaving the continental US.Now we live in the very green Scotland, in the rainy United Kingdom.We've decided to try and blend in, whilst living in the middle of nowhere.It's been an adjustment weather wise, but we really don't come by people often, and the home we brought is surrounded by acres of green forest which is perfect for us to shift.And shift we must, because the lack of shifting causes aging, and that brings problems regarding healing one's self because our bodies resort to being only human.And I have a surprise for you, something I never imagined or cared for but equally was
Khai's POV"Aaah!" She screams as pain radiates through her mid region. I hadn't expected her to wake from her nap in pain, I also hadn't expected her to tell me we won't be finding Lora but she did that to and despite knowing she probably has the gifts to see such things, I deny her allegations and pretend that we will find her. To say she took me off guard would be an understatement but all I could do was call for Theo Lilith has gone into labour a whole week before she's due but I think that's normal for multiple pregnancy but no less scary as she freaks at the pain and wails into my shoulder.She labours in bed, standing up and even in the shower.The whole time crying for Lora, feeling as if she might be replacing her with the children coming out from within her tummy.Sadness fills the room and the three of us did not enjoy the birth process at all.Our sons entered the world screaming loudly, clearing their lungs within minutes of each other and though Theo and I wanted to c
Lilith's POVDane is adamant that Damian isn't dead and equally as adamant that I can use my memory to summon where his whereabouts.Apparently the witch side of me can teleport, and that's a given because I have done before but never have I teleported to a person specifically, only a place.But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.Of course it does, if I can summon a place, then I can summon a person, right?I just have to practice, apparently. It still astounds me how much he knows about me when most know nothing about me at all.And it just so happens that I feel closest to him out of anyone I've met.I'm having a bad day today, pain is radiating along my back, a sharp stabbing pain accompanying it whenever I stand for to long.I think it's the twins, my boys that are currently safe within me.I miss Lora.I miss Calley.Heck, I even miss Lucas.I can only hope that one of them with with my baby girl, that they are doing everything in their power to protect her from
Hati's POVA further two and a half weeks have passed as we live in this humid and small place in hipster being on top of one another. My men have broken all the agreements I even made with Gretchen, her witches becoming the slaves they are used to which had disfavoured the respect the witch have held for me. But needs must and all that.Even I and finding it hard not to play outside of Belle.Take yesterday for example.Calley had been caring for the child as she has been for over two weeks, ensuring Lorrie remains quiet and happy to limit the time the child spends with Belle.I'm not stupid and I had noticed how she would try to prevent any crying coming from Lorrie.The child has grown far quicker than I thought possible, her growth excelled.She's standing against furniture, giggling and eating some solids, but that's just a trigger for me.I've told Calley she must feed from Belle and she's purposely ignoring my request. Ensuring Lorrie skipped three feeding sessions yesterday.
Theo’s POVThe days have passed in unimaginable pain as I mourn the theft of my child, and I also watch my mates do the same thing.I feel like an utter failure, and as I sit and ponder the reality I then realise I lost my best friend, beta and Calley and Arlo in one foul swoop.How did such a thing happen so easily?Especially when we trained to prevent such a thing.Even Danes members failed miserably and he’s travelling here today, his communication less than moody.I’ve been sitting alone in my office pondering life and the atrocities that have amounted to this very day and I see all of my failures. Can count them precisely.I suppose that’s why I’m avoiding everyone.What type of Alpha fails his people?!My computer pings with an email, giving me a welcome distraction as I jump out of my own mind to concentrate on something other than the trashy surrounding me.It’s Dane, he’s crossing the border. Warning me incase the pack decide to attack.I feel awful, despite being down two t
Three Weeks Later Hati's POVWeeks pass as we adjust to living here below the burned pack-land of Leo.I cannot believe he's still alive, but then again what more can I expect from these peasants and their ability to slip through my fingers?The child, Lora. Or Lorrie as we've been calling her has settle very nicely. She's sitting by herself now, rolling around and has become very content within this smaller pack of mine, and everyone loves her. Worshiping their lunar even in this childish stage of her life.And the girl, Calley, keeps a very close eye on her.That day was quite something when we tied our blood in a bonding agreement."Eko, eko, azarak. Eko, eko, zomelak. Bagabi lacha bachabe, Lamac cahi achababe. Eko, eko, azarak. Eko, eko, zomelak," Gretchen had changed as she created the bond that would be undeniable."Repeat after me, girl. I, fill name, solemnly swear to bind my blood with Hati in agreement for servitude. Bonding our blood forever more as I lay my life down at
