Leo’s POV‘Bring Lora home,’ is the first communication I have from Khai in days.Theo’s mind-linked a few times to to ensure her daggers and the running of the pack.More specifically how Lucas and I are working with one another to run the pack but yes, this so the first I’ve heard from Khai.His urgency to have Lora home and with them evident.It’s not much last eight on the fourth morning since taking Lora home with me.She’s settled in okay, her feedings becoming easier compared to that first day.Tabitha had even become used to her, cuddling her and cooing down to her in awe as she stares up with those unusually aged eyes.If I didn’t know better I would say that Lora has lived a thousand lives, but surely that cannot be.She’s merely a baby, a sweet and quite frankly cute baby that seems easy to handle.She hasn’t fussed much, barely cried, the only problem being getting her used to the bottle instead of her mother.And I have no doubt she will be extremely happy to rebond with
Theseus’s POVI take Lilith’s heat as a sign I should go home and spend time with Celeste.This is the longest we’ve ever been apart and it feels highly unusual and refreshing at the same time.I actually have a reason to be excited to go home, excited to see Celeste after spending so much time away.And when I arrive home she’s sleeping in her long white nightdress in our bed, alone.The last part is important, being alone is exactly how I wanted to find her.After coming back to find her with Zeus that has played on my mind a whole bunch.I suppose trust is a fickle thing but for me, after being with Celeste for many years, I know it wasn’t solely her choice that caused the situation to materialise.There was more at play other than choices and emotions.And I know Celeste and I know her choice would have been different had there not been more at play when everything went down.I use my time wisely, climbing into bed besides her to watch her sleep.Her eyes flutter with whatever dre
Hati's POVDeath, destruction... despair.Those are the things I want for humanity.Those are the things I feel necessary when thinking ofmy long and dreadful life.Why am I made to be this entity that I do not want to be?Why do I need to repeat life cycle after life cycle when I've already suffered life without parol.It's days like today, a day where I need the company of a lady but I've had to wait, that plays on my mind.My mate is out there and I shouldn't want another female but yet her I am, failing to convince myself otherwise.I suppose you could call me a weak man but the thing is even if I took my mate now, she wouldn't be physically ready for me.No, I'm sure I have another fifteen odd years to wait until the host is old enough for me to be able to take her.And that's the thing, I'm not young. I'll never be as young as Aspen and perhaps that's Celeste's punishment.What will a young and springly teenager want with an old man as I?She won't, and that's the problem, thou
Continued - Hati’s POVShe rises with no aid as she stares at me.What a breathtaking little girl she is.Where does Gretchen get these girls from, how does she find the strong willed vixens I like to domineer?I’d like to ask but I’d hate to know, so I never do.I grab the girls arm dragging her towards my bed that’s already set for tonight.The four cuffs peeking out in each corner, barely hidden as they sit in their pockets waiting for me to use them.From under the bed I collect the cushion made for fucking a girl in the doggy position.My favourite because that’s what I’m used to.You see, being a wolf you become used to fucking in one way.I’ll admit, the thing I miss most about fucking in my form is the lock that forms when my glandis swells.And I lay it on the bed, pushing the girl forcefully towards it.She crawls on her hands and knees, laying on top which keeps her in the perfect position for me to fuck when from behind.Walking around the bed I use each cuff to keep her i
Continued - Hati’s POVShe lays there suspended on the pillow as I stare at her in amazement. I haven’t had such a girl for over a year now, but I see the strength in her eyes as she refuses to move her gaze from me.Tears still run down her cheeks, moistening the bedding below her as they drip from her nose and chin and despite myself I reach out to stroke her cheek.“Keep this up, and I might keep your for weeks until I tire of you,” I whisper.She doesn’t flinch or beg for me not too, she just stares with eyes wide and fear lancing through them.Ah, there it is. The fear of me doing this everyday gives her an emotion I like to elicit.What a beautiful soul she is, with a beautiful mask and beautiful vessel she calls her body.Sometimes I find happiness in this life, and she is one of those things.We lay in silence for a while as I allow my body to rest, my heart rate dropping from its spike as time stands still between us.And I think we have one of those silent conversations hum
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.Sh
Hati's POVI wake to the girl softly sleeping in front of me, not having moved or struggled to get away and despite my usual affliction it seems I've cuddled her all night.Which is not something I choose to do.I roll to my back looking to the ceiling with a sigh as I think about last night and what it meant for me, my future, Aspens future. I've never tied with a girl before, never had pleasure such as last night when in a mixed form of myself and human, and strangely that forces me to feel some sort of loyalty to the girl that gave me more than I thought possible.She's beautiful, that I'll admit.But she isn't Aspen, she isn't my mate.I have no emotional pull to the girl, at least I do not currently feel one.But the problem has arisen that we did indeed tie and for wolves, especially, tying means the possibility of pregnancy fall.And though I know the probability is slim to none, I cannot let her go.I cannot give her back for fear that perhaps Zeus has given my a reprieve, th
Theo's POVI hate seeing Lilith stressed this way, I hate seeing her so unsure of herself but at least Lora has settle down now. Allowed Lilith to feed her into the safety of sleep which in turn has aided Lilith to calm some.Lora hasn't cried this much in her whole life and I wonder what is wrong with her, whether this is something we cannot see or whether this is normal for being so young.Is she in pain?Is something internally wrong?Did us leaving her have this much of a detrimental effect on her emotions, even at such a young age?I haven't a clue but something niggles in the back of my mind for the whole day as Lora and Lilith rest in bed.They deserve the rest, after all but I worry and I cannot help but wandering upstairs in the middle of my day, ignoring my work and the tasks that need doing to stare at them to try and figure this out.Lora lays flush against Lilith's tummy as Lilith lays on her side feeding Lora.What a beautiful sight to behold.My hand darts out of its ow
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
