Zariah POV I was hurting worse than I ever have hurt before. The luna started whipping my back and I know it probably looks horrible. I could feel that it was shredded by the time she finished, but then she insisted that Nathan start. She nagged, “You will beat her into submission. Make her bow down to you.” He continued whipping me until there was no skin left to rip. He then poured wolfsbane into the wounds. I was doing my best to think of happier days during the whipping, and it did help. There was no way I was going to give them any indication of weakness. I managed to keep from screaming in pain when Onyx whimpered, “Let me take most of the pain. If I go away, I will be back. I will be healing myself. Okay?” I sighed, “Okay. Thanks, Onyx.” While he poured wolfsbane into my wounds, I let Onyx take the pain and she yelped, then whimpered, then retreated to the back of my mind. I immediately missed her presence when Nathan started kicking me in the stomach and face. I was sure th

I growled, “The bitch needs to die. So does her mate. He didn’t lay a hand on me, but he ordered my abduction.” Isaac growled, “Yes, she does need to die. He needs to die for causing it to happen in the first place.” Queen Winnie comforted me, “It will happen sweetie. I think your alpha has already ordered it. I have also released the luna from being controlled by the dark witches. She is still showing very little going on in her mind.” I added, “That may explain why the witches chose her to begin with.” Queen Winnie visited with us for a while and then left with the promise of continuing our training tomorrow. She explained, “There are things you can do while relaxing on your porch or the porch of the pack house.” I agreed completely before she gave me a hug, then hugged my mate, then popped out. I turned to Isaac, “She is such a sweetheart.” My mate laughed, “She’s funny as hell too.” I chuckled and then groaned as I rubbed my ribs, “Apparently, my ribs are not completely healed.

I was released from the hospital two days later on the condition that I take it easy and rest for a week. The wolfsbane that had been in my system was finally gone, but it had drastically slowed the healing on my back. Onyx had only just barely healed the wounds, but I was definitely going to have scars. Isaac calls them my battle scars and he’s proud of how I’m handling it. I’m proud of the way he has been handling the trauma he sustained by seeing me like that. I know it bothered him. Queen Winnie and I were sitting on the porch to the pack house, watching some of the warriors train with Gamma Axel. I asked, “Does anyone need an attitude adjustment?” Gamma Axel gave us an evil laugh, “I actually do have one warrior who could use one.” After he pointed the warrior out to me, I concentrated on his thoughts and looked at Gamma Axel, “That man is so full of himself, there is no room for anyone else. It’s a wonder I was able to get in there at all.” Queen Winnie laughed out loud as Gam

When we reached our house, we got out of the car and Queen Winnie was standing on the porch. I looked at Isaac and chuckled as he let out a low growl. When I reached the porch, I asked, “Is there any chance we can have a couple days off?” She furrowed her brow and asked, “Why?” I answered with a suggestive expression, “The doctor cleared me for normal activity.” She looked at me with a confused expression. I laughed when I could see the light bulb above her head illuminate, “OH! Of course! I will be back the day after tomorrow. Isaac, be prepared to carve some time out of your schedule to train.” Isaac laughed, “I sure will. Thank you, Queen Winnie.” Winnie looked at me, “You are going to mark each other, right?” I nodded, “We are.” She smiled, “Perfect. I will see you both later then.” I laughed, “Thank you so much, Queen Winnie.” As soon as we were in the door, Isaac locked it then threw me over his shoulder and carried me to the bedroom while I laughed until my stomach hurt. He

We spent that day and the next making love in every position and every room in our house. We only took breaks to eat, drink or sleep. By the second morning, I was feeling very sore and needed a break. When Queen Winnie popped in while I was making breakfast, I sighed in relief, “Thank the Goddess you are here! I may be walking funny, but I am so happy to see you.” She laughed, “Rubbed you raw, did he?” I nodded, “But we couldn’t stop. It was crazy!” She smiled, “Oh, I wish I could have that feeling. I wouldn’t mind being rubbed raw once or twice.” I laughed, “It’s not very comfortable.” I finished making the waffles and I sat all the food on the table. I asked Queen Winnie, “You are staying for breakfast, aren’t you?” She smiled, “Why else would I be here early?” I set the table for three places just as Isaac walked into the room. He was looking and smelling extra yummy today. I had to look away because there was no way I could handle anything like that today. I desperately needed

Isaac jumped into action. He threw his hands up and held both hands with his palms facing the fountain, turning it into a huge ice sculpture. Isaac smiled, “Nothing like learning under pressure.” I laughed, “Oops.” Queen Winnie just shook her head, “That’s why we are out here. We need to learn your abilities and both of you need to learn how to control them.” I added, “I’m sure that is most helpful way to learn.” Isaac asked, “If I just visualize something, will it happen?” Queen Winnie replied, “It could, if you have the ability to use that element.” He closed his eyes and started moving his hands in a lifting motion. A strong gust of air blew under me and swept me off my feet. I was travelling around the clearing on my back. I started laughing when I came to a stop in front of him. Winnie laughed, “You did that well, Isaac. That was really good.” I asked, “Do you think you could do that on a mass scale?” He nodded, “I think so. We can try it on the warriors later.” I smiled, “Soun

After I was ready to go, the guys were cleaning the kitchen and Isaac was standing in the living room with four warriors. I walked into the room and, without turning to be sure it was me, he held out his arm to pull me close to him. I have to admit, this was my favorite place to stand during hours that I was awake. Isaac explained, “Love, these warriors are some of our best and most trusted. They will be joining Alex as your protection detail at all times. This is Kevin, Jayla, Mike and Tayna. They are mated couples, so they don’t lose time with each other.” I smiled, “I like this idea! I’ll allow it.” My comment made everyone in the room laugh. I chuckled, “No, really, I do like this idea. I just hope that having to follow me around all the time won’t mess things up for all of you. Has Isaac told you this could go on for years?” Tayna replied, “He has, Zariah. We are all honored to serve you for life.” I gasped, “Are you sure? What if you have children?” Tayna and Jayla shook thei

The guys ran after the human to disarm him while I linked Isaac, “Isaac! We’re in the mall parking lot and Alex has been shot! I need you to come quick and bring your dad!” Isaac, proving himself a wise mate, responded, “On my way.” I was busy trying to keep Alex’s eyes on mine as he writhed in pain. He cringed, “Silver bullet.” I shook my head, “Don’t you worry, Alex. Isaac and Alpha are on their way. Just stay awake. Okay?” He nodded, still cringing in pain. We heard another gunshot and I looked back at the girls. Tayna stood up, “I’ll go see what is going on.” She was only gone for less than a minute when she smiled, “Never mind. The situation is controlled. Apparently, they were able to get the gun away from him and they shot his foot.” Alex laughed and then groaned, which made the rest of us cringe. As soon as the guys arrived with our shooter, Isaac, Alpha Kenny and Gamma Axel showed up. Gamma Axel ran to Alex and I ran to Isaac, “This was awful. That human approached me in th

I shook my head, “There is absolutely no way that could happen, son. You guys are just as much my real children as the unborn ones are. I have never had a favorite child and I will never start. The pack knows this too. That means, Blaine, no matter what sex our future children are, you will still be the Alpha heir. You are the one the Goddess wants leading this pack.”Blaine shrugged, “Then I guess I’m all in.” I smiled, “Thank you, son.” Isaac smiled, “I’m really proud of you both. Your mom was super worried about hurting your feelings. We even agreed that if you were not okay with us having a baby, we wouldn’t even try.”Heather furrowed her brow, “Mom, why would you do that?” I shrugged, “Because I want you two to feel like you are part of our family, even if it means not doing something I want. But that’s what parents do all the time.”Blaine gave me one of the most serious looks that I have ever seen and I even felt a little alpha aura come out, “Mom, don’t ever sacrifice your ha

I gasped, “Are you serious?” Doctor Spink answered, “I’m very serious. There is a lot of scar tissue, but it hasn’t started affecting your uterus or ovaries. We may need to have you take some hormones to be able wake up your ovaries. Are you still having your periods regularly?” I nodded, “Yes.”She smiled, “This may not be so hard on you. The recovery from your surgery can be painful, but I can give you medicine for that.” I suddenly heard Onyx in my head, “If she can get rid of all that scar tissue, I can prepare our uterus and ovaries. No hormones necessary. They will just make both of us moody.”I asked, “How soon can we do the surgery?” She asked, “Have you eaten or drank anything other than water this morning?” I answered, “No. I figured you would need fasting blood work.” She smiled, “Good. I would like to have your pre-operative blood work today and schedule your surgery for ten days from now. Does that sound good to you?” I nodded, “That will give me time to prepare for it.”

Three months LaterAfter three months of going to Iced Moon Pack to see our grandbabies and to help Lena and Lucas settle into their new roles as parents, we finally had a little more free time. It’s hard enough to adjust to the new life with one child. I couldn’t imagine how it would be with three. They have already started sleeping through the night, so I felt better about less frequent visits.Once we were able to stop going up there so often, Isaac took me to see a special OB/GYN surgeon in Saint Louis. He led me to the office and he checked me in. The receptionist gave me a clipboard with a questionnaire to complete and we went to the waiting room. I finished completing the form just in time for the nurse to walk out and call my name.Isaac pushed my wheelchair as we followed the nurse to an exam room. She shut the door and turned to us, “I’m Julie. I am Doctor Spink’s nurse. I just need to go over some information with you and I need to take your vital signs.” I nodded, “Okay.”A

We got a big surprise. Well, Heather wasn’t surprised, but she kept it a secret. We have three new grandbabies! Triplets! Lena had two boys and one girl. Blaine was so excited to have two nephews and a niece to spoil. Isaac and I were over the moon.The first baby born was a boy, Joshua Douglas, weighed just five pounds, six ounces. For a triplet, that’s a big boy. The next baby was a girl, Isabel Zariah, weighed just three pounds, ten ounces, and was in an incubator for a few days. They wanted her to gain at least one pound before she left the hospital. Finally, Kenneth Isaac weighed four pounds, twelve ounces and also spent a little time in an incubator to get him to gain a little weight.Isabel and Kenneth got to go home four days after Joshua. We were so excited to spend time cuddling with each of them before we had to go home. As I held each of them, I started wishing I had been able to have a child of our own. I started to get depressed but talked myself into putting that energy

Seven Months LaterI pushed my wheelchair as fast as I could from our bedroom to the living room and yelled throughout the house on the way, “Is everyone ready to go? We need to get to Lena!” Isaac, jogging behind me, started chuckling, “Slow down, love. The babies will come whether we are there on time or not.” I sighed, “But I want to be there as soon as they are born. We need to go.”Blaine’s tires squealed as he came to a stop in the living room, “I’m ready to go. We’re just waiting for Heather and Aadi.” Aadi joined us, “Franco will join us outside. He already got someone to cover his patrols for the next couple days.”I smiled, “He has been a real advantage for our warriors. We need more bird shifters.” Aadi laughed, “I got really lucky. He’s a very good mate. He loves all of you because you are my family.” I gushed, “Aw. He’s already part of our family too.”Heather rushed to the living room and yelled, “Okay! I’m ready! I even remembered my presents for the babies!” I asked, “W

Six weeks laterThe past six weeks have been an adjustment period for all of us. Blaine and Elizabeth have been looking for reasons to see each other, driving us all crazy. We have finally resorted to letting them take turns, every other weekend, taking our packs’ private jets to the other pack. We told each of our pilots they were not allowed to go anywhere else.We felt Lena’s absence each time we sat at the table to eat dinner and each time we loaded up in the truck. Blaine and Heather loved having the extra room in the back seat. Heather was very vocal about her opinion on Lena’s absence the first couple weeks. Thankfully, she has let up on that. Now my heart can heal and let my daughter live her best life.Isaac and I have felt her absence a lot. She always had such a different way of thinking about solutions to problems that we looked forward to getting her input. Heather, however, has another way of finding solutions. Her oracle abilities allow her to see the best solutions or t

We were almost done eating breakfast when Heather walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of juice from the refrigerator and a banana from the fruit basket. She started to walk out of the kitchen, but turned around and smiled, “I’m going for my run. It’s a ten-mile day. The girls are on their way. Also, I do not want to talk about the stuff I heard last night.”We all laughed as she ran out of the house to meet her friends. I smiled, “She is so much like me. I did the same thing. My friends and I got up to twenty-mile days. She’s doing very well at seven years old. She will get done with her run, attend warrior training, allow four hours for Luna training, then two more hours for Beta mate training.“Then she goes to our home gym and meets her Uncle Axle for Gamma training and more fighting style training. She wants to be prepared for everything. She doesn’t stop. She has asked to be homeschooled so she can do it on her schedule. She is staying caught up and getting straight A’s.

The next morning, I woke up a little later than usual, but still earlier than everyone else, aside from Aadi. She is always on top of everything. After I finished my morning routine, I went to the kitchen and found Aadi finishing up breakfast.Aadi smiled, “Good morning, Zariah. How did the run go?” I sighed, “Lucas recognized Lena as his mate and accepted her.” Aadi asked, “So does that mean she will be leaving us today?” I nodded, “I think they are planning to leave today, after she packs her things.”Aadi sighed, “I’m not ready for her to go.” She sat my coffee in front of me on the table and continued, “I’m going to miss the hell out of her. She helps me a lot.” I nodded, “I know. She is a big help to the pack, but that means she will be an amazing Luna for Lucas. That’s what I’ve been training her for. It’s all I can ask of her; to be the best Luna she can be. I’m so proud of her.”That was when Alpha Doug and Luna Kathryn walked into the kitchen. Alpha Doug asked, “Are you talkin

For the last two years, Blaine had known that Elizabeth was his mate and it had been making him crazy. He still had another two years before her first shift. Instead of making himself crazy over that, he had buried himself in school and Alpha training.He had also been working on training his wolf. The warriors were shocked and amazed at his solid black wolf with amber eyes that glowed. They were also shocked that his wolf could run and fight when his human form couldn’t move from the waist down. They were also jealous that his clothes stayed intact when he shifted.He and Lena had been looking forward to seeing their mates every two weeks. We had been taking turns with Alpha Doug and Luna Kathryn on travelling to one another’s packs. I was just happy our packs had private jets to use, which greatly reduced travel time.Lena had been spending the past two years in Luna training with me. It gave her a big distraction from the mate bond and she was happy to bury herself in it. She had be
