Lilith's POVMy head hits the tree with a thud and crack, pain migrating down my spine as a vision takes me."Wait, wait for me" it's the annual mating run but I still haven't been able to coax my wolf Abyss to shift. She says the time isn't right, that I'm not whole. I need to be whole. She speaks in riddles most of the time and it leaves me confused all of the time.No one else seems to struggle to shift after their thirteenth birthday, but for me the doctor says it's to do with my head injury that I might never be able to shift now and I don't know how I feel about that.You'll shift when you are complete.I'm running along behind my best friends Calley and Arlo they are twins and the betas siblings. They too live in the pack house because unfortunately their parents were killed in a rogue attack a few years back leaving the three of them orphans but Theo's taken to looking after them and me.Arlo skids alongside me having morphed into his wolf Jaxon, he bends his head allowing
Lilith’s POVI drop my hold on Rex and Obsidian as my hands come to cradle my stomach.Yet another wave of agonising pain takes hold of me, and my little girl isn’t happy.Her aura is scared, anxious and sad, and I think mine is starting to mimic hers, and what’s worse is Theseus must feel that. His eyes are wide like saucers as he takes in the scene before him.And Celeste snaps my attention from him to her. She’s standing in the upstairs window watching as if he isn’t surprised as if she saw this coming from a mile away.Theo’s the first to shift, not caring about his nakedness as he scoops me up from where I am standing on the floor.He rushes towards the house and demands for a doctor as he goes.Khai shift almost immediately after him, cupping his cock as he, too, follows behind.“We need a doctor, towels. Whatever you need when you give birth,” Theo demands in his aloha aura. The need to bow before him is overwhelming. Theseus walks beside us, opening the door and nodding his h
Khai's POVTheo demAnds I help the child into this world, the child that’s exiting out mate as we speak.Stretching parts of her that shouldn’t be stretched so wide.I watch as the water murks with blood, the colour changing as she obviously pushes the child through your body and down and out of her vagina.And I baulk at how large her opening becomes, a brown-haired head moving its way to me.The water only blurs the vision before me some, not enough if you ask me, but then again, this is my job, apparently.Where is Celeste? Surely she would be better suited to this than I…Lilith moans, whines and screams, her voice portraying her pain while Theo and I remain quiet. Though Theo’s supporting her more than me, and I’ll admit that.Between contractions, he will mutter positive things, nice things.Urging her forward, telling her how well she is doing.The only problem is she’s obviously not happy.She’s in pain, and I don’t believe she believes she can do this.I wouldn’t either, if
Lilith’s POVI’m absolutely exhausted, my body feeling like a ten-ton truck has run it over.My legs ache, my back aches, even my shoulders, and they did nothing as I pushed out my child, my little girl who looks the perfect mix of both her fathers.That’s the thing I wondered about most.This child has three DNAs running through her little body. How does the genetic makeup work in that case?It’s obvious to see how that she took after her fathers rather than me, though maybe she will change as she grows.She has a head full of brown hair, chubby cheeks and a slim and slender body.She hadn’t opened her eyes before Dr Knight had taken her, but I’m sure she will have one of their eyes too.Will they be blue like Theo’s? As blue as the see where I can get lost as I stare into them.Or will they be deep brown like the earth like Khai’s?I hope to find out soon, but for now, Theo has emptied the bath, encourages me to climb out and has us both in the shower cubicle.The running water is r
Theo's POVHave you ever looked down into a perfect set of blue eyes and melted from the inside out whilst falling in love with the very being you've stared at?I have, twice over but this time it's different. It's separate kind of love looking down into the eyes of my child.I wipe the white looking cheese off her skin gently, out of her face, eyes. Even her ears and then I place the nappy on her and pick a white all in one to dress her in.Celeste has been busy for days getting Lilith's old clothes ready for Lora and it seems right to dress out child I'm her mothers clothes. Even if Lilith's parents never kept her past a few months.In cradle Lora to my body, her warmth radiating off of her as I bring her up to my nose to smell.She's sweet like vanilla and spicy like cinnamon and I notice that she's the scent I found on Lilith a few days ago. It's exactly the same.I look down into her face. Her eyes holding my own as she wriggles with her mouth open.Her hair is the same colour as
Khai's POVCeleste and Dr Knight leave not long after I arrive and I’m glad. I kind of want it to be just the three of us again. Or four, including our little girl. Lilith has been laying with the baby for a while, struggling to eat one handed before I decide it’s time for me to step in. I briefly held Lora earlier on but I feel the need to take her, to cuddle her so that precisely what I do as I sit beside her on the bed.I watch Lilith pick at the food Theseus made her, licking between the different fruits. The sandwich and the glass of juice as if she has never eaten before.That’s when Theo comes over, demanding Lora.“My turn,” he says, holding his hand out for me to pass her.I feel like our cuddle was brief, very short and I’m not ready to give her up but I do.He picks her up with one hand under her head and another under her bum taking her from me."Make sure you hold her head," the Lilith says, with a mouth full of food.I watch with jealous eyes as Theo settles the other s
Theseus's POVIt's not been but a few hours since the child was born and I can already feel the shift in the air.I suppose it's this child's birth that is the deciding factor of whether and when I take over Zeus's roll as God.I don't want it, the responsibility of controlling the world as we all see it but after his little stunt of letting free the bear hounds I see no choice but to oppose him.I was never there to protect Lilith, by way of my own choice, admittedly but even that was forced by Celeste.I know I went along and I had hoped that Lilith might have been the key to transforming Hati. That Celeste wouldn't have to come to the conclusion that Zeus was right and that she would have to make this Hati's last life cycle.I'm not sure what has her so hung up. Obviously there's a lace of love in the mix, whether romantic or otherwise is undetermined and I don’t think she will ever admit to having feelings for Hati or her friend Bart. Both of which I know she holds dear to hersel
Lilith's POVOur night is full of disturbed sleep, Lora waking every few hours with a soft cry to let us, mainly me, know she's ready for more food.I hadn't thought much outside of the pregnancy but now I'm faced with a sleepless first night and breastfeeding my child.She's beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous and she's mine.When I was a child, or even up until recently I never fathomed that I might become a mum.It wasn't in my mindset. Finding Theo wasn't either.I was sure that I would live a long and painful life alongside the mate, Khai, that was to scared to claim me.Yet here I am with two mates and a baby and... my parents.Celeste has shown a keen interest in Lora and inadvertently me because of that.And when I look down at my baby I realise that Celeste has known her a lot longer than I have.How many times has she reached into that pool to cradling her combined souls?Did she speak to her? Bond with her int he time since she arrived up here until yesterday when her souls
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
