Theo’s POVMy body lurches forwards as my teeth elongate and within a nanosecond, they slice into Lilith’s neck without my permission. Her emotions slam into me taking me by surprise when I feel acceptance and sexual need seep through my whole being as the mating bond calls from the both of us to complete ourselves.But no! We can’t, not knowing she could be taken with pup…. My pup and be tortured.Not with my father's vision there in the forefront of my mind.Taking all the strength I possess I rip back control from Rex shoving him deep within the recess of my mind, locking the door on him if you will to keep him locked up inside of me. “Theo” Lilith whispers in a monotone that has my toes curling as our naked bodies brush against one another.Moving back I hold her at arm's length, pushing her shoulders against the cold tile as I take three steps back.Pure unadulterated rejection seeps between us and I can hear her muttering to herself that it isn’t good enough inside that beautif
Lilith's POVEverything burns as I lay between Theo's legs out in the woods at the back of the pack house. My bones are manning the most disgusting sound as everything morphs in front of me.My vision is blurry and hazy as I try to focus on the early evening sky above us, looking for anything to distract me from the all-consuming pain. The moon is slowly creeping up and the sun rapidly disappears and with every second that passes by and the pain becomes more... and more... and even fucking more. I'm so sorry Lilith Abyss breaks her days-long silence with me. Thank fuck your here, can't you change me already and get this over with.When the moon shines red I shall be born... she tells me making me look back over to the moon. I can only just about see a slither in front of me and it is a weird shade. Not red like blood as I just imagined but dusty like a brick. I watch in pure agony as it rises enough to tell it's the moon, it illuminates the evening giving me enough lights to see."I
Theo's POVLilith falls unconscious and naked on the grass just behind the back door of the pack house. I pick her body up plastering her to mine hoping like fucking hell no one decides to surface from their rooms whilst I walk her upstairs. Luckily they don't but I teeter on the first-floor landing deciding whether to take her to her room or mine. I stand like a statue, Lilith in my arms as I think about the problems of having her in my bed. The only one sticking out like a sore thumb is the need to mate her and the lack of power I have over Rex to stop him.Then don't stop me, get it over with so you don't have to fight it anymore he pleads his case as I shove him as deep and as far back as my body will allow.I suppress him as I start to move again having made up my mind. Walking up the next flight of stairs then the last to the very top of the house I walk into my bedroom and beeline for my bed where I play juggler holding Lilith whilst turning down the bed sheets to lay her u
Lilith's POVI wake to an empty room but I'm sure not for long because I hear Theo clattering around downstairs mumbling to himself as he burns something. I go about my business in the toilet having a wee before washing my hands. It's then whilst washing my hands and face that I look up and into the mirror at my reflection almost gasping in fright at the reflection looking back at myself.I bring my hands up to hover on the skin around my eyes, my very... peculiar eyes.They've changed from my normal blue to those lilac ones Abyss had last night, almost glowing in their uniqueness. Memories come back of the shift, running through the woodlands alongside Rex as they play fought before falling into exhaust sat at the river drinking the water with her tongue. I have your eyes Abyss...She wakes groggily, her entity fully detectable within my mind now. Our bond runs deeper than any bond I've ever felt.Yes, Lilith, you have my eyes. She says sleepily as I move in every direction to se
Theo's POVLilith takes her time getting dressed only coming down around a half-hour later after I hear her muttering about hunger and that her eyes are far too bright leading me to believe she is self-conscious of them.I completely understand, the colour is so vivid that she won't be able to blend into the background on any given day and she doesn’t strike me as the type of person that likes to be the centre of attention, ever. "What's wrong with her eyes?" Lucas questions as he lounges back on the sofa with some sandwiches on his chest, obviously having overheard herself musings as well. I think this is the first time he's actually been out of that bunker for longer than a few hours.As it is Andy has had to take over and watch my prisoners to allow this meeting so he knows damn well he best get as much food and rest as he can before he takes back over tonight. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with Andy looking after the prisoners but he isn’t Lucas, he isn’t my second i
Lilith's POVI sit staring at wolves from a pack I'm the far northern borders of Canada. All the men are built like trucks and the women are beautiful and lithe. Apparently, I come from there, once in my life, I would have been born to two members of the pack. Parents that lived with me but lost me. I still remember nothing of my life, the brick wall in my mind stronger than I'd like as I push against it to find my memories, it doesn't work... of course. It never works. Dr Knight talks about genetics and gene matching and a load of other jargon that I don't understand as he flicks through his findings. I watch both horrified and overly invested as I see my life, my meaning span on the screen in front of me. Then comes a long list of 'powers' the wolves have up there. The ability to read memories, to give memories, to heal and even to harm. The list is so long that I lose track as he lists all of the known. With every slide of the screen he has more to say and I try to listen, I
Theo's POVLilith pulls away moving to leave the room and I follow, I follow not because I want to but because I feel I have to.She needs someone to lean on, needs someone to listen to her worries.Lucas and Dr Knight have stated that they can feel her emotions ... I can't say if they really do or not and I cannot deny I don't feel her emotions because we are marked and even without mating that bond is far superior to any bond I have ever had.I trail behind Lilith as she leaves the house barefoot, she walks along the grass that just last night she collapsed on after shifting back from Abyss.She heads towards the woodlands that line the yard then she dips inside silently. We walk in silence as the twigs break beneath her bare feet and I worry, I worry that she might hurt herself but she barely even registers stepping on them or the fact that I am standing beside her as we walk. We move for just under an hour and we're getting pretty close to the area I'm keeping the prisoners in the
Theo's POV"I haven't a clue what you are talking about" I lie as he takes a few steps from us, how does he know I have his men?"I can smell them, Theo, a mile north of here."He's exactly right, they are a mile north of this very spot in my bunker that I have this far out so the pack member's children don't accidentally stumble upon it on any given day but how can he smell them when the door is laced with wolfsbane?"What do I do with Lilith, when will she come back?" I ask to distract him from the fact his men, his father's men are in fact being held down in my bunkers for prosperity at this point because no one has come looking for them and I really don't believe that Damien will care if they were to die. "Guide her home, she could be there hours or days. Obviously, she needed her mama...""Okay then" he walks again as I hold onto Lilith to prevent her from following him, which she tries. She moves every time he does. "Oh and Theo...""Yes?""The mating ritual needs to be finishe
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
