Khai's POVTheo's waiting for me.That's a new I'm happy to oblige with but that doesn't mean my worry of whether Lilith is ready doesn't sit in the forefront of my mind.If Theo hadn't already thrust himself inside her I would use foreplay to ready her. Stretch and arouse her but I can't.Not with him already situated.So I kiss along her mark, knowing just how much that turns her on.Licking, nipping and sucking lightly to arouse her. Making enough pressure to make her moan and squirm.Theo sighs too, her movements obviously arousing for him also and although I do not find him sexually arousing, I am pleased that he, too, is turn't on right now.I think that despite my love for only Lilith that I have a mutual respect and I'm turn a type of love for Theo.I would die for him, fight until the end to protect him just as I would for Lilith and now Lora.'She's ready,' Theo enlightens me, a smirk covering his face as push Lilith towards him to hold.My vodka already hard, waiting and re
Theo’s POVI lay in bed with Lilith and Khai well into the morning but I cannot sleep and my heart rate is palpitating.When we were running earlier I felt as if we were being watched and I had the warriors guard the borders and much to my dismay they found Damian’s warriors watching. Waiting…I knew they would be and perhaps Lilith bailing was a good thing.No one outside of my land, my pack know she’s a white wolf let alone a goddess in her own right.And no one outside of this pack know of Lora’s existence just yet.Though I doubt we can keep her existence a complete secrecy for long.We are going against every protocol known to wolf-kind.A heir, much as Lora is, birth should be lodged with the high court.Her name going in a book for future alpha’s.Her being a female is an unusual occurrence as it is.Almost all alphas produce male heirs and up until recently rules would be in place for female pups to be disregarded when another male pup turned up.But I’m glad that particular ru
Hati's POVI flick through the photos that have been developed and printed on paper.The recognition of certain wolves is apparent but the wolf running alongside Theo was not as I expected.A small grey and red Wolf that seems a far cry from a Luna.Far cry fr a goddess she-wolf too.I expected Lilith to be... more.Maybe I let my mind and imagination run away from me.The expectations high because I know who her parents are.Because in all honesty you would presume her parents would give her the crème de le crème of wolves, gifts and life.Surely Celeste picked the best for her child and Theseus is no less able to do such a thing.He's a god in his own right, controlling witch-kind.I think that is why I've chose to house a coven on my land.Keeping them prisoner as I use them for my own pleasure.I'll admit it's a mind fuck when you take a female witch against her will.Especially when they have the powers to manipulate you. Not that their gifts have ever stopped me from taking wha
Khai’s POVTheo has allowed me to train with his Warriors. But this means I am now spending my mornings away from Lililith and Lora which is saddening.I kiss them, especially the quirky sounds Lora makes in the mornings but I need to be able to protect them if the worst happened.Damian taught me many things, even how to kill… but only if holding a weapon.A fun to be exact.But I’m not always going to have my hands on a gun, I mean… there isn’t even a gun here on Theo’s land.He doesn’t believe in them, seems to detest them if I’m honest.And he’s surprised, astonished really, that I cannot fight.His presumption that Damian would have had me training with his warriors has clouded his judgment of how I protected us in front of those bears.He claims I did the bed I could. That I did okay.But I disagree.I did far from okay, I let him get hurt. My technical alpha, that I still haven’t pledged too.I’m surprised he hasn’t badgered me as he has been Leo and Tabitha.He has not begged
Lilith’s POVIt’s been a week and a half since the Luna ceremony and I have been enjoying being our peoples leader.I’ve made a routine of my days.Learning how to take on the responsibilities of being a Luna, juggling being a new mum on top of that and taking time out of my day to train alongside Theseus.Don’t get me wrong, Theseus often follows me around, encouraging me to use different gifts when the opportunity rises but it’s a lot and it’s tiring.But today is different, today is Tabby’s baby shower.A small party I’ve planned for her and a few of the people that know her personally in our pack.There’s not even ten of us at the party if I’m honest and it’s going to small and almost insignificant but for her I’m sure it will be momentous for her.The celebration of her child as it should have been in her own pack.I’ve noticed her and Leo are struggling, both hate being under Theo’s rule but neither will say anything and neither will disrespect Theo.They are thankful, thankful
Theo's POVI'm far to busy to attend Leo and Tabitha's baby shower party but I cannot bring myself to upset Lilith.She seems to have taken on this as a personal endeavour I presume because she feels the guilt I do.Whether that's an extension of my own guilt or whether it's her own she is baring is another thought to mull over later.So instead of going through the paperwork, signing my name on the things we need I'm rushing out to the yard as Lilith's voice calls to me.I had hoped me hiding in the office would pad a her notice but it hasn't."I'm here," I reveal as I walk into the kitchen the same time as she does."We're nearly ready," she grins.There's an air of happiness seeping from her every pore.She's in her element and despite me need to get things done I cannot deny that I love seeing her this animated."I have a meeting at two, an alpha duty," I admit as she drags me by one hand out of the kitchen and into the yard.It hasn't changed much, the marquee is still outside fr
Leo's POVI appreciate Theo's gesture and I gladly accept being of some importance whilst under his rule but I'm not sure his beta, Lucas is too happy.His hostility is palpable even before he barges in the room and his eyes dart to me immediately.He voices his protest but Theo pushing him down and demands his obedience and luckily for me Lucas knows his place.But he doesn't leave the office without mind linking me with his opinion.'You are nothing in this pack. I will not follow any demand you lay down. And I'll have you out before you can blink,' he tells me.I pretend I didn't hear him and refuse to stoop his level but even so he forces a connection when I break the first.But I break the second and third connections too before he gets the gist that I won't bite at his jealously.And unfortunately for me Theo asks me to stay in the office whilst he takes his call which only heightens Lucas's angst."Stay, write down the important things," he demands whilst shoving a note book an
Hati's POVNothing. No lead, no photo, no evidence.That’s what I’m left with despite having a gut feeling that Theo is hiding something big.I can almost taste Aspen she’s that close.And there’s now only two packs bordering mine.So it’s either Theo or Carlise.And I know who I’m putting my money on.Theo took Khai, took Lilith and no doubt would harbour Aspen.But which of his unlucky members has birthed my mate?Which unlucky member will die for hiding her away from me?I suppose I cannot blame them, not really. A parentalbond is nearly as wholesome as a mate bond. Driving you to act crazily to protect your young.But…Yes, just but.But I cannot allow them to keep her.But I won’t wait for her to grow up away from me.But I cannot let her have a life before me.This is always the way.My choice to have her from whenever I find her.I’ll be her caregiver, friend and confidant and then I’ll slowly morph into her partner.It’s always been this way, so it’ll not change in this life
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
