Zariah POV

Warning: Depiction of violence ahead.

Wow. Delphine did not waste any time in getting started. As soon as she had Isaac strapped to a chair directly across from me, she tore off my shirt and pulled a branding iron from the nearby fireplace and forced it, hard, onto my bare stomach. She cackled, “Now your entire pack will know you are the barren luna.”

Instead of giving her the satisfaction of hearing me scream in pain, I receded to the back of my mind and didn’t feel anything. I tried to keep Onyx from taking over, but I couldn’t help it. She opened her eyes and looked Delphine straight in her eyes, “Do you honestly feel that will do anything to me? You forget, Delphine; you and I have done this before. You have also burned me before. Try something new.”

Delphine smiled, “Onyx, it’s nice that you have joined the party. How about a nice shot of wolfsbane for you? Straight down the throat.” Onyx laughed, “You did that the second time you tried to torture me. What else do you h

    Isaac POVThe doctor shook his head and I was suddenly panicking, “Doctor, how is she?” He sighed, “We are once again treating a traumatic brain injury, Alpha. If this one doesn’t cause long-term issues, the next one definitely will.“I gasped, “What kind of issues are we talking about?” The doctor replied, “Short-term memory loss, long-term memory loss, migraines, balance issues and those are the mild symptoms. At worst, she could forget to walk, speak, or use her arms and hands. She could also experience bouts of extreme aggression.”I answered, “I believe the goddess said this will be the last war. I can only pray that she won’t suffer any symptoms. She will always have her bodyguards, the girls or me around her. If she starts showing symptoms, we will be sure to bring her to you.” The doctor sighed, “I do want to make sure she is not having symptoms before I discharge her. However, she has to wake up first. The next twenty-four hours will be the most crucial.”I nodded, “Thank you.

    Zariah POVAs soon as everything went dark, I was standing in front of the Moon Goddess, “Just concentrate on me, my child. I am helping you with your pain. Onyx did everything she could to slow down the torture, but Delphine was very mad.”I asked, “What did Onyx mean when she acted as though they had met before?” Selene sighed, “Onyx has had to fight with Delphine or one of her ancestors every time she has been with a human form. Her human form has always been one of your ancestors.”I asked, “Why does this one feel milder than we were expecting?” She answered, “Alpha Damien and Luna Abby have lightened the war that we were expecting for you. She is fighting against other supernaturals right now and forming a multi-species alliance for me. You and Isaac should sign that alliance as well. You will have many other species to call upon when you need them as allies.”I nodded, “I will talk with Isaac about this. I think it’s a great idea.” Selene smiled at me, “Child, I have already put

    I asked, “How long was I out this time?” Isaac smiled, “Not nearly as long as we thought you would. That’s promising. You had a really bad head injury, love. This one was the worst one yet. The axe did a lot of damage. I have agreed to not have you involved in any more fighting. It will only make it worse for you.”I lowered my gaze and Lena stepped to my bedside, “Mom, you will be able to join me and Heather in the safe room and we will all use our abilities to kick ass.” I looked at my daughter and chuckled while squinting my eyes in pain, “And take names. Okay. I will do that, sweetie. I don’t want to leave you two motherless.”I then looked at Isaac and both of my daughters, “I have a major headache, but I need the doctor to come in. The Goddess told me there will be permanent damage. She didn’t tell me what the damage is.” Isaac looked at Lena, “Sweetie, would you please get the doctor for us?” She smiled, “Of course.”Heather asked, “Momma, will you be in a wheelchair like Blaine

    The next morning, I was awakened by the smell of bacon and eggs and my stomach rumbled loudly. My eyes opened widely and immediately shut again. I opened them again, slowly this time, “I smell bacon.” Isaac laughed, “I brought some breakfast for you. Do you want to sit up?” I nodded, “Yes, please. That smells so good.”Isaac helped elevate the head portion of the bed and I sighed, “I really wish my headache would go away.” Isaac sighed, “I know, love. They want to do another CT scan in a bit to see how the healing is going in your skull. That is what concerns the doctor. I’m hoping Onyx is getting the pieces fused together quickly.” I nodded, “Me too.”I heard Onyx in my mind, “I’m going as fast as I can, but you really got fucked up this time, lady. I takes a long time to fuse bone and I do have to rest sometime.” I chuckled, “I’m really not complaining, Onyx. Seriously, you saved me from getting hurt a lot worse. I will be okay, and that’s all that matters. I apologize, in advance, f

    After my CT scan, the nurse wheeled me into my room and my mate was standing there speaking with a mountain of a man. He made my mate look like a child!I was almost speechless because I did not recognize the scent. He smelled almost like a campfire with roasted marshmallows and it made me want a snack.I was chuckling at my thoughts as I started to try to get back in bed. My mate stopped his conversation and lifted me from my chair to put me in bed. They man looked at me and I noticed his eyes. They were very different from ours. They were a beautiful smokey grey but his pupils were reptilian.I smiled as I settled into bed, then held out my hand to the man, unafraid, “Hello. I’m Isaac’s mate and Luna, Zariah.” The man smiled as he shook my hand, “Hello, I’m Uther, King of Dragons. Winnie told me about what happened to you, and I wanted to extend an offer for an alliance with you. Alpha Damien and Luna Abby highly recommended it.”I smiled, “I love them to pieces. It also helps that

    After visiting for a while, King Uther left with the promise of a return visit. I looked at my mate, “I have not felt this good since before we were taken. It seems dragon blood is exactly what I needed.” Isaac smiled, “We will have to do something special for Winnie after things settle down.”I agreed with him and another knock sounded on the door. Isaac chuckled, “This has to be the busiest hospital room ever today.” I laughed as I answered, “Come in.” The door opened and a man walked in bringing a sweet-looking wheelchair with him. I smiled, “You must be the custom wheelchair guy.”The man smiled, “I am. My name is Kai Lewis. My company builds custom wheelchairs like this one.” I smiled, “I like the looks of that one.” The wheelchair in front of me was a simple design, but there was nothing portable about it. It had a short back, no armrests and a platform instead of the separate footrests you see on folding wheelchairs.Isaac asked, “Love, wouldn’t you rather have something that ca

    I asked, “Been feeling a little outnumbered lately, love?” He laughed out loud, “Only slightly. I’m just very happy we have more than one bathroom. I would have to go to the pack house for a shower.” I was still laughing when he asked, “So? Is it a boy?” I nodded, “It is. He is also the reason why it is my destiny to be paralyzed and I am fine with that.”His eyes widened, “He is paralyzed?” I nodded, “She said he is also a special wolf. He will need us. I found out from Heather that the other kids and the staff in the orphanage call him a burden and make fun of him. I think we need him to show our pack that their leader can still lead with honor and bravery from a wheelchair.”I asked, “You look like you aren’t too keen on the idea.” He shook his head, “That’s not really what I’m thinking. I just don’t want our son to have to struggle.” I cupped his cheek with my hand, “Babe, don’t you understand yet?” He furrowed his brow, “What do you mean?”I laughed, “Love, it’s the struggle that

    The nurse and I talked for a while longer and she left me to continue taking my nap. As soon as she was out the door, I relaxed into the awaiting darkness.It seemed as soon as sleep overtook me, so did the light. I opened my eyes and found Selene on a porch swing. She chuckled, “I know that this has been a particularly rough one, but you should know that it has all been for a very good reason. I know you will understand when you meet him.”I nodded, “I’ve already heard some things about him that are bad enough. I will be heartbroken if they aren’t the worst of it.” She sighed, “You have just scratched the surface.” I shook my head in disbelief, “That poor child. He will never want for anything ever again. That includes his family’s love and attention.”Selene smiled at me, “I knew you would feel that way before even meeting him. I do have something to tell you that you should know. The nurse you were speaking with earlier is Blaine’s biological mother. Blaine was conceived by man she

    I had just finished updating the books for the pack’s business when my phone rang. The school counselor sounded quite irritated when he informed me that Heather had finished the tests. I thanked him and told him we would be there shortly.I rushed to my mate’s office and smiled, “She finished. Let’s go.” Isaac beamed, “Okay.” He jumped up and we left. He started to head toward the truck and I shook my head, “It’s going to take longer to get me in there than it would to just walk.” Isaac chuckled, “Okay, then. I’ll push your chair then.” I nodded, “Okay.”We made it to the school in a couple minutes because Isaac decided to run most of the way. We went to the principal’s office and we found him trying to seduce his secretary by kissing her neck. Isaac cleared his throat and we watched him look at us while continuing his seduction.When he realized it was us, he stood straight up, cleared his throat and stuttered, “A-Alpha, L-Lu-Luna, how may I help you?” I just shook my head in disappo

    The next morning at breakfast, Franco asked, “Alpha, is it okay if one of my little brothers comes down for a visit?” Isaac nodded, “Of course. How old is he?” Franco smiled, “He wants to look for his mate. He is sixteen.” I smiled, “Make sure to take him around the whole pack. Is he planning to spend a couple days?”Franco nodded, “He was planning to stay at least a couple of days. If he finds his mate in your pack, he is planning on asking permission to build a house.” Isaac agreed, “Of course he can. I will always welcome new pack members.”I reminded my mate, “I will be going to the school with Heather this morning to give permission for her to take the test to graduate early.” Isaac asked, “Isn’t she a bit young for that? She’s not even in high school yet.” I laughed, “She will be fine. She just isn’t being challenged enough right now. She wants to start college.”Isaac raised his brows at Heather, “Are you still wanting to be a doctor?” Heather nodded, “I am. I want to have my l

    When we got to the kitchen table, everyone was there and Aadi looked like she was ready to burst. I chuckled, “Aadi, would you like to tell us your news first?” She laughed, “You got a visit too, didn’t you?” I nodded, “I did. But I will let you tell everyone what she told you first.”She grinned, “I know the path for both sets of twins.” Franco asked, “You do?” She nodded as she continued to tell everyone at the table everything the Goddess told me. She looked at me and asked, “Do you have anything to add?” I shook my head, “Nope. That covers everything she told me. I’m excited for them and they haven’t even been born yet.”Blaine asked, “Did she say when they would shift for the first time?” I answered, “I know your siblings will shift as toddlers. She didn’t give a specific age.” Aadi answered, “She didn’t tell me anything about when ours will shift.” I added, “But I would assume that if they were meant to go through everything together, then they would all shift together.”Heather

    The meeting ended up lasting until late into the night as every unmated she-wolf wanted to see if Ben was their mate and we answered unending questions about the babies. I finally turned to Isaac and asked, “I wonder how many ways we can say that we don’t know what their path is?”Isaac laughed, “I don’t know, but I’m starting to wish we had not said anything about them.” I shrugged, “They’re just curious. All of our other kids had a purpose, so they are wondering about what will happen with these babies.” Isaac agreed, “I can understand that, but we already told them before the meeting ended that we didn’t know yet.”When we finally got home, it was late and even my night owl, Blaine, was ready to fall into bed when we got home. We said goodnight to the kids and went straight to our room. As soon as we were ready for bed, Isaac got under the covers and held his arm out to me.When I got under the covers, I immediately scooted over and tucked myself in with my head on my love’s chest

    When we went home for dinner that evening, Heather and Blaine were clueless. However, Aadi was nearly bouncing off the walls in excitement, “Was I right?” I laughed, “You were.” Aadi giggled and hugged me, “I knew it! I’m so happy!” Isaac laughed, “There is some additional news. When we all sit at the table, we’ll tell all of you.”An hour later, we all sat at the table for dinner. Isaac sat his phone in the middle of the table, “I have Lena on the phone so she can hear the news too.” I smiled, “That’s an amazing idea.”I then turned toward the phone, “Hey baby girl! How are my grandbabies?” She giggled as she answered, “Growing like weeds! They’re starting to crawl already.” I smiled, “That sounds like so much fun.” She laughed, “It is. It’s exhausting too.”As soon as Heather and Blaine sat at the table, I started, “Well, I went to my regular doctor today. I am officially one week pregnant.” There were cheers around the table and on the other end of the phone. Isaac added, “There is

    One week later, I was eating breakfast with my mate and Aadi when a queasy feeling took over my body. I rushed to the bathroom and lost every bit of the breakfast I had eaten. As I rinsed my mouth and used mouthwash, Onyx advised, “You should go to the doctor today.” I smiled, “I will do that. Thanks.”I went back to the table and drank more coffee. Aadi smiled, “Are you going to the doctor today?” I chuckled, “Onyx is telling me to, so I guess I better go.” Isaac asked, “Do you want me to come with you?” I nodded, “I think you should.”He asked, “What are we going to the doctor for?” I raised my brows at him, “You didn’t know what I was doing in the bathroom?” He shook his head, “To be honest, I was mind linking Stone with something I needed him to do today.” I smiled, “I’m pretty sure we are going to have a baby.”Isaac jumped out of his chair and let out a huge celebratory howl then knelt by my chair to look me in the eyes, “Are you sure?” I nodded, “Onyx is telling me I am and tha

    I sat on Doctor Spink’s exam table after all of the x-rays and ultrasounds had been completed. I knew Isaac was nervous because he couldn’t sit down at that moment if he tried. Doctor Spink asked, “Are you having any pain at all now?” I shook my head, “No, just itching from the incision.” She sighed, “Yeah, that’s a common issue. Some lotion with Aloe in it should help that.”Doctor Spink took a deep breath and let it out audibly, “Well, it looks like the surgery was a big success. I see very minimal scar tissue now. There are no obstructions anywhere, so you should be okay to start trying for a baby. I would like to see you again in a year just to make sure the scar tissue didn’t come back. Otherwise, you can see your local doctor for prenatal care.”I smiled through my tears as Isaac held me, “Thank you so much. You have no idea how much we appreciate this.” She chuckled, “Oh, I think I do.” Isaac had tears falling as he shook the doctor’s hand, “Thanks so much, Doctor. This means

    The drive home would have been excruciating if they hadn’t pumped me full of painkillers before we left. Doctor Spink knew that we had a three-hour drive ahead of us, so she tried to make sure it would be as comfortable as possible and I was so thankful.When we got home, I was gently lifted and placed in my wheelchair, then I was pushed into our house. We were immediately met by Aadi. She asked, “Does she have meds?” Isaac answered, “I need to pick them up from the pharmacy. They loaded her up on pain meds before we left.”Aadi nodded, “She should probably be in bed then. I will take care of her while you go get the meds.” Isaac kissed my forehead, “I’ll be back as soon as possible, love.” He walked out the door and I sighed, “That man is my life. You know that Aadi?” She chuckled, “I know that Zariah. You are his too.”She started pushing my wheelchair into the bedroom when Blaine rolled up to us, “Aadi, will you need help transferring mom?” Aadi chuckled, “I don’t know. She won’t b

    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 hap
