I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I would appreciate any comments. I love reading them.
Alpha Kenny growled in irritation, “I will not have Zariah risking her life any more tonight. You two go to bed. Someone here clearly has a death wish to keep trying to poison you.”Isaac growled, “I agree. Dad, I would go to the cells with you, but…” Alpha Kenny shook his head, “No, your place is with your mate tonight. There is no need for you to be anywhere else.”Isaac kept his arm around my waist as we walked to our room, surrounded by warriors. When we got there, the warriors cleared the suite before we stepped inside. We had constant guards outside our door all night and Alex slept on the couch in our sitting room.Isaac and I went to our room and I grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank top, then went to the bathroom. Isaac grabbed a pair of pajama bottoms and joined me.As we took our shower, Isaac took my loofah from me and started washing my back for me. He then turned me around and started washing the rest of my body. He successfully conveyed his feelings for me through his ac
I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. I sat up and looked around only to find a note where my mate had slept. It read, “I hated to leave you alone this morning, but dad needed me in the cells. Alex is with me, but Tayna is on the couch while the rest of your warriors are scattered from outside our door all the way to the end of our floor.“It looks like we are going to be super busy today. Just know that I will do my best to be by your side as much as possible. In the meantime, please don’t go anywhere at all without your guards. I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened to you, love. I love you with everything I am, Isaac.”I smiled and gushed as I held the note to my chest and put it in a safe place. I wanted to keep it forever. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take my shower. When I was done, I put on a cute sundress and a pair of sandals, then brushed out my hair. Since I washed it last night, I decided to leave it alone today. I put a small, tight braid on
We all sat down on the sectional sofa in the corner opposite my coffee bar and we visited and killed time before getting ready for the ceremony. I got comfortable and told Luna Kyra about my visit from the Goddess. She sighed, “Well, it’s nice to know that there won’t be any issues during the ceremony. That has to be a relief for you.”I nodded, “It is. It looks like we have a while before the dark witches will be here. Isaac and I need to work on strategies and practice our abilities after tonight. If we are going to be successful, we really need to perfect our abilities and learn how we can be the most useful.”Luna Kyra suggested, “Of all your abilities that I’ve seen to date, I really think your ability to control minds is your best one. You need to get better at controlling minds and controlling larger numbers of minds.” I nodded, “I do too. I really think that is where I will be most useful.”We sat in my office until it was time for me to get ready. As a treat, Luna Kyra hired a
I tried to smile without laughing out loud while Axel continued walking me toward my mate, my Alpha, my best friend, and my love, my Isaac. The closer we got to him, the more I could see his eyes glistening with unshed tears. When I reached my place on the stage, Axel kissed my cheek and walked to his place next to his mate.When the crowd settled into their seats, Alpha Kenny started, “We are here tonight to witness the transfer of the Alpha power to my son, Isaac and to transfer the Luna power to his goddess-given mate, Zariah.” The crowd applauded wildly and Alpha Kenny allowed it until it died down.He continued, “First, Isaac, do you swear to lead our pack with honesty, honor, courage, and fairness?” Isaac looked at his father with his chest pushed out in pride, “I do.” He asked, “Do you swear to protect our pack from all enemies and elements?” He answered, “I do.”Alpha Kenny asked, “Will you swear to uphold our laws, but forge your own path on where you want our pack to follow?”
When we reached the hall for the reception, we had a large crowd already assembled. They were waiting for us to make our entrance and start the dancing by getting on the dance floor. We walked in followed by Kenny and Kyra, then Stone and Alex with their dates.Isaac pulled me close to him and led me to the dance floor. When we got there, we embraced each other for a slow song and started dancing, each staring into the other’s eyes as we swayed to the music.While we danced, Isaac asked, “Are you okay?” I nodded, “Perfect. And you?” He smiled gloriously, “Absolutely perfect. I want you to know that I will spend every day for the rest of my life striving to be the mate you deserve.” I chuckled, “You don’t even have to try. I already feel that I don’t deserve you.”He asked, “Is this going to be one of those sickeningly cute arguments couples have?” I threw my head back and laughed out loud, “Uh, no. We can save our children from that disgust.” He laughed, “You got it.”As the song ended
Isaac explained, “Zariah is feeling like she is being watched. Is there anything you can do to see if you can find them?” She answered, “That would not be easy right now, Alpha. Zariah is being watched by many people right now. It would be easier to see if we can find them after the reception.” I nodded, “That makes sense.”Winnie suggested, “I would like to be able to teleport into your room when you are almost ready to go up there. I have a feeling that I will find the culprit in there.” Isaac nodded, “I think you’re right. We will let you know when we are almost ready to go.”She lowered her gaze, “I will be happy to help, Alpha and Luna.” I grinned widely at her, “Queen Winnie, we will always just be Isaac and Zariah to you.” Winnie winked at us and popped out to continue her patrols.As the reception continued late into the night, the sensation of being watched kept growing. The idea of someone with evil intentions watching me was grating on my nerves so much that I was becoming h
I noticed that she was in Isaac’s room in the pack house. I looked around in her mind to see if I could see her intentions. She looked at Isaac and I could feel the anger she was feeling at being ignored. She continued singing and I took control of her hand.I saw that she had sharp claws so I grabbed her neck with her own hand. I stepped back slightly, so she could see what she was doing to herself. I made her dig her claws into her neck and pull out her vocal cords. She started gurgling as her airway filled with blood.I stepped completely out and gave her complete control again. She looked at her hand that was still holding a portion of her throat and she looked at me with wide eyes as she gurgled, “War. Is. Coming.” She then dropped to the floor and died.Alastair laughed, “Winnie, you underestimated your student. You didn’t need us at all.” I laughed, “I didn’t know I could do that either.” I stepped back from Isaac and realized that I wasn’t as drained as I thought I would be.Q
After a restful night’s sleep in the guest room and a particularly steamy shower with my mate when we woke up, we walked downstairs to the dining room to get some breakfast. When we walked through the door, all of the warriors stood and spoke in unison, “Our Alpha and Luna! We pledge to fight for you and we will gladly sacrifice our lives to be sure you are safe.”I looked up at my mate’s face and his eyes were shining through unshed tears… just like mine. I bowed my head to them while Isaac smiled, “My warriors we all serve our pack. We will all gladly sacrifice our lives to ensure our pack is safe. I am proud to serve beside you. I will never ask you to go where I would not go myself.”We went to the buffet tables and filled our plates. When we sat at our table, his parents followed us. Former Alpha Kenny smiled at his son, “Isaac, I am so proud of you. You handled the siren situation without panicking the pack.”Isaac shrugged, “It was more my Luna than me. You should’ve seen what s
