I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
Miss Franklin and I walked into the pack house and I introduced her to Alpha Kenny, Luna Kyra and Isaac. I asked, “Would you like to go to the dining room and get some coffee? We can sit and talk there.” She nodded, “That sounds great.”When we sat down, she asked, “So how did everything go after you were picked up?” I recounted all of my life’s major happenings since the age of four and she was floored, to say the least.I finished, “Enough about me. I heard Mister Franklin passed, how are you doing?” She shrugged, “I’m okay. My mate was my life for many years. I’ve just been trying to move past it. He wouldn’t want me to lay down and die for him. I’m too young for that. I still have a lot of years left, so I’m hoping for a second chance mate.”I asked, “Do you still own the store?” She shook her head, “No, I have passed that on to my son. He’s an adult now. I just work there for something to do now. I’m not there all the time anymore either.” I smiled, “That’s really good. You deser
I growled, “Put him in cuffs and take him to the cells. He killed my parents and tried to kill me.” Alpha Kenny scowled, “Are you positive?” I nodded, “I will never forget the eyes of the wolf who stared me down after ripping my father’s throat out. But I will know for sure if you force him to shift.”Alpha Kenny turned to the man and commanded him to shift. The man stripped out of his clothes and shifted into the same wolf who I now had no doubt killed my parents. I nodded to Alpha Kenny, “He is the wolf who killed them and tried to kill me.”Just then, I heard Miss Franklin’s gasp from behind me, “She is not mistaken. He is one of them. I watched the whole thing happen, alpha. I wouldn’t forget him either.” Alpha Kenny commanded him to shift and get dressed, then he was put in silver cuffs and taken to the cells.As soon as he was out of sight, I broke down and started crying uncontrollably. Alpha Kenny held me closely until Isaac ran to me, “What’s wrong? What happened?” Alpha Kenny
I gasped, “Oh, goddess, Miss Franklin! That’s terrible. I’m so sorry.” She sighed, “It was not long after you and your parents were attacked. They went crazy for a while, just killing people for the fun of it.”I gasped as I asked, “Were they looking for me?” She nodded, “I knew about your wolf. The goddess told me. She gave me the gift of sight so that I could watch over you, no matter where you are. I would be able to warn whoever was closest to you.”Jayla suggested, “Why don’t we give you our numbers too? That way if you see something urgent, and we are the only ones with her, you can call us.” Miss Franklin sighed, “I would love that. Thank you. We must protect the special wolves who will save our species from a horrific death.”I asked, “Miss Franklin, do you get visions?” She nodded shyly at me, “Only when the goddess wants me to see something. She told me that I needed to get to you. Then she told me where you are and how I can contact you. I didn’t expect to get an invitation
Miss Franklin and I sat in the observation room while Isaac and Alpha Kenny chained the guy to a chair. Queen Winnie stood at the doorway of that room with a scowl on her face. I could tell she was in his head when the guy, who had been swearing at my future father-in-law and my mate suddenly got quiet and still.I turned to Miss Franklin, “She’s in his head, controlling him. That’s what I was trying to do, but the evil in there was too much. I need to get used to it though. There are some dark witches who are trying to find me.”Miss Franklin gasped, “What are you going to do?” I shrugged, “I’m not sure yet. I’m well protected here, but they have been coming around occasionally to ask the guards if they’ve seen my wolf. Thankfully, no one except my inner circle of friends have seen her. Therefore, they are not lying. They haven’t seen her.”Miss Franklin laughed, “You really are a true luna. You are even protecting your pack from having to lie for you.” I shrugged and chuckled, “Yeah,
After asking many more questions with no answers received, Isaac and Alpha Kenny walked into the observation room. Isaac wrapped his arms around me, “Love, if you still don’t want to see the gross stuff, you should probably go back to the pack house.” I nodded, “I think I want to do that.”Miss Franklin asked, “Would it be okay if I watch? I watched this asshole do unspeakable things. I want to see him suffer.” Alpha Kenny nodded as he put a friendly hand on her shoulder, “Of course. If you think of any questions to ask, just hit the intercom button in front of you.”Alpha Kenny asked, “Isaac, do you want to help?” He growled, “Hell yeah. I want this guy to suffer.” Queen Winnie added, “I’m staying down here to tell you if he’s lying or to read his mind if he resists talking.” I thanked Queen Winnie and walked to the pack house with Kevin, Jayla, Mike and Tayna. I had no desire at all to see and hear the things that were going to happen to Zev.I sat in Luna Kyra’s office and talked wi
Luna Kyra and I stood up so quickly that it caused the warriors protecting us to stand and take a defense stance. I suggested, “We need to get them out of there.” We all walked to the kitchen and identified the men from a distance. Luna Kyra sent a mind link to Gamma Axel to send warriors.Meanwhile, Kevin, Jayla, Mike and Tayna split up and blocked every exit from the kitchen and didn’t let them leave. The men looked at us and asked why they were being held. I asked, “Does the name Zev ring a bell?”All three men froze in fear and I smiled, “You can stop blocking your scents now. We know who you are. Get ready, boys. You are about to meet our Alpha and my mate, the Alpha Heir.”One of the men snarled at me, “We should’ve finished you off when we had the chance.” Luna Kyra laughed, “I, for one, am glad you didn’t. Our pack is going to have one kick-ass luna because y’all failed.”My head whipped over to face Luna and I grinned widely. Luna Kyra laughed knowing I was shocked at her use
I could smell my captor and it wasn’t a rogue, but he was from another pack. I just didn’t know which one. I could feel he was a higher rank and his wound on his hand healed within a minute.I continued screaming as he laughed, “Girl, don’t you remember that these doors are soundproof.” I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, calming myself. While I continued doing this, I mind linked Jayla, “Jayla! Get in here! I’m being taken!”The man picked me up and started toward the balcony, when the door burst open. All four of my bodyguards ran straight for us and I started feeling fangs on my neck. I laughed, “I’m already marked, dumb shit. Who are you?”Jayla stopped everyone and I asked the guy again, “Who are you?” The man answered, “I am Alpha Roman Addams from The Blood Mountain Pack. I don’t care if you’re marked. Once I mark you his mark will disappear.”I shook my head, “Not going to happen asshole.” I stomped his foot as hard as I could. I heard bones breaking and the alpha yelled as
When Stone walked into Alpha Kenny’s office with a mountain of a man beside him, I smiled. For a man who was trained to kill an adversary in over one hundred ways, his demeanor was calm and caring but you could tell that he could easily turn deadly in a heartbeat.I looked into his mind and saw that he is a good man and knew nothing of his Alpha’s plans. I could also see that he genuinely cared for his pack and the people in it. I linked Alpha Kenny and Isaac, “This man will make an excellent Alpha. He has everything it takes to be a fair and compassionate leader.”Isaac nodded, “Thank you, love.” He then turned to the pack gamma and Alpha Kenny started, “Gamma, can I ask your name?” The gamma replied, “Alpha Kenny, Alpha Heir Isaac, I am Gamma Mateo with the Blood Mountain Pack.” Alpha Kenny nodded and explained, “Gamma Mateo, please take a seat. We have an issue that we need to discuss.”Gamma Mateo sat in a chair across the desk from him and Alpha Kenny began, “Gamma, your alpha and
When I woke up, my mate was standing over me, trying to wake me up. I asked, “What time is it?” He chuckled, “It’s time for supper.” I furrowed my brow, “But I just ate lunch.” He laughed, “Were you visiting with the Goddess?” I nodded, “I got a lot of answers too.” He smiled, “That’s good. Why don’t you get ready for supper?” I nodded and held out my arms. He bent down to kiss me and I asked, “Will you help me into my chair? It’s just faster that way.”After getting ready, I went to the kitchen to see that everyone was waiting for me… including Blaine and Elizabeth. I smiled, “Oh my goddess! It’s so good to see you two!” I went to them and gave each of them a big hug, “I missed you two!” Blaine smiled, “I missed you too, mom. It’s weird; we’re all in the same pack but we never see each other.” I sighed, “You see your dad every day.”Blaine sighed, “Mom, that’s for work. But I do ask dad how you and Heather are.” I smirked, “I understand, son. I’m just giving you a hard time. You need
After Heather took the baby back to Aadi, I got out of bed and completed my morning routine, then went to the kitchen where I found Aadi’s twins in their highchairs and Aadi rinsing breakfast dishes and loading the dishwasher. I asked, “How do you ever tell Zayla no? She has me around her little finger.”Aadi chuckled, “It’s not easy. Those eyes will knock you on your ass every time.” I laughed, “Yes, they will. I’m surprised they are developing so fast.” Aadi sighed, “I know. They are doing a lot of things they shouldn’t be doing for months.” I suggested, “Maybe it has something to do with them being my babies’ protectors.” Aadi concurred, “I think you may be right. It’s just… a lot.”I sighed, “I don’t know how you’ve not gone crazy yet. I have a feeling mine may be the same way. I just don’t know why. Maybe we should ask the Goddess when we go to sleep tonight. Or I may try to remember to ask if I get to lay down for a nap today.” Aadi argued, “No ifs, lady, you are under strict ord
I chuckled, “Rolf, are you going to scold them?” He shook his head, “I can be gentle, mate. You should know that.” I laughed at his wolfy grin, “Yes, I most certainly do. I’ll just relax while you speak with our pups.” I laid back and watched as he lifted the T-shirt I was wearing and he got his face very close to my belly. He spoke in such a gentle and soothing voice that it almost made me cry happy tears.He soothed, “My little pups, you must be good to your mother. We need to do all we can to bring you into the world safely and keep your mother’s pain down as much as we can. She is a very good mother and she will be good to you. Both of you need to make sure you turn so that your heads are pointing down before you can be brought into the world. If you don’t, the doctor will have to cut your mommy’s belly and pull you out. She doesn’t want that for her or you. So, make sure you turn soon, so we can all be ready when the time comes. You are both beautiful babies and we can’t wait to h
Three months later, Isaac and I were at the doctor’s office and I was already huge. My belly felt so tight that it felt like it could bust open any day. Doctor Brawn walked into the room and asked, “How are you feeling?” I sighed, “Extremely uncomfortable. My belly feels very tight and my hips hurt.”She sighed, “Yeah, this part of the pregnancy is very uncomfortable, especially for first-time mothers. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can really do about that. A heating pad helps. Other than that, the only other thing I can suggest is over the counter non-aspirin pain relief. I would avoid Ibuprofen though. It thins the blood and you don’t want to have that in your system when the babies decide to make their appearance.” I sighed, “I figured that.”She asked me to lay back on the bed and I did as she requested. She did my examination first and smiled, “Well, Luna, your cervix is thinning, so you could go into labor soon.” I furrowed my brow, “Isn’t it too early?” She answered, “I woul
Isaac ordered, “Franco, take your mate to the hospital. I will get my mate out of bed and into her chair and we will be right behind you.” I rushed out of the bedroom, “Don’t wait on me. Just go. We are literally right behind you.” Franco ran at full speed with Aadi in his arms.Isaac moved behind me and started pushing my wheelchair at full speed through the halls. I asked Isaac, “Did you happen to link the doctor?” Isaac answered, “Franco already did that. The nurses will be waiting for him. I already told them to give her the Luna’s room.” I smiled as I looked up at him, “Thank you, love.”He smiled as he waggled his eyebrows, “You can thank me later.” I shook my head chuckling, “You are so naughty.” He leaned down to whisper in my ear, “But you like my naughtiness.” I chuckled, “I do, but the place for this particular conversation is not here.” He stood and laughed out loud, “I get it.”As soon as we reached the clinic, there was a nurse and a doctor waiting for them. Franco’s shak
That evening, at dinner, Heather asked, “So, mom, I’ve been waiting patiently all day. Are you going to tell us?” I looked at my mate and we both laughed. I answered, “I was wondering when you would ask. We are having a boy and a girl.” Heather smiled, “That’s perfect. Are you going to stop with them?” I shook my head, “No. The Goddess told me we will have a minimum of five.”Heather gasped, “Mom! Are you sure you will be able to handle it with your medical issues?” I smiled, “This is the Goddess’ plan for us. I will always follow her path for us. There are good reasons for each of them to be born, although I don’t know what they are yet.” Isaac added, “Besides, you know we love raising children. We had so much fun with you, Blaine and Lena.”Heather smiled, “Yeah, we did have fun. And you are young enough that you can still enjoy them. I keep forgetting that you guys were still teenagers when you adopted us. We are all so glad you did too.” I blew a kiss to her from across the table a
Three months later, Isaac and I were sitting in the doctor’s office waiting to get another ultrasound done. My doctor had been treating mine as a high-risk pregnancy because we didn’t know what was going to happen after all of my scar tissue was removed. We were hoping my uterine walls held up. Doctor Spink was certain that all was okay with it, but my doctor just wanted to keep an eye on it.When his nurse came out to get us, we went straight to our exam room and she smiled, “Your baby bump is already starting to get big. Are you planning to find out what you are having?” I chuckled, “Of course. We’re so excited. I really hope they cooperate.” She laughed, “Oh, trust me, we’ve met our fair share of uncooperative babies. We have our ways of getting the information we need.”She took my vitals and Isaac asked, “Can we please get a female doctor? It drives my wolf nuts to see a male doctor examining my mate.” She chuckled, “That’s a sign of a good mate. I can ask Amy, our nurse practitio
Six days later, I was in my office when Heather walked in and sat in one of the chairs across from me. I sat back in my chair and asked, “What’s up?” She smiled, “I just got back from getting my schedule and materials for school. I don’t need to take any of the Math classes, or the literature classes. I have to take at least one civics class and a bunch of electives to get my Associate of Science degree. I will be able to take the majority of my classes online too.”I raised my eyebrows, “That’s great, sweetie. What does your schedule look like?” She handed a piece of paper to me and I saw that she is doubling up on her credit hours. I asked, “Sweetheart, are you sure you want to take so many hours in classes?” She nodded, “I’m sure. These classes seem to be fairly easy. I think Chemistry and Biology might be a bit difficult, but not impossible.”I sighed, “Okay. I might be able to help some, but Aadi might be even more help. What is your civics class?” She answered, “I think it will b
Thursday evening, we all sat down for dinner, then we all noticed that Heather’s seat was empty. I asked, “Ben, have you heard from Heather yet?” Ben answered, “She called me at lunchtime. She said she may be late. She still had four more tests to take.”I nodded in understanding, “I bet she’s overthinking some questions. My daughter is most definitely a genius, but she does doubt herself a lot. Ben, you will have to keep that in mind and reassure her of her intelligence regularly.” Ben laughed softly, “She’s most definitely perfect for me. I tell her how smart she is all the time. She’s also a badass on the training grounds.”Isaac laughed, “Yes, she is. Just like her mother. Before Zariah was paralyzed, she could kick some serious ass. She put me on my ass more than once. She may not be able to use her legs anymore, but she can still pack a punch too.” I smiled, “The Goddess always puts us with our perfect partner.”Ben smiled, “I couldn’t agree more.” Blaine sighed, “Mom, Elizabeth
