Chapter 32 – TwistI woke up early in the morning, sprawled across Dimitri's chest.This seemed to be my favorite sleeping position. Even if I fellasleep on my side of the bed, I always seemed to wake up on top of him. Like some mysterious magnet that just drew me to him.“Don't blame me, I sleep when you sleep.” Rae said to me.“I don't mind being your pillow baby, it makes Dom happy.” Dimitri said as he opened his beautiful warm honey colored eyes. I kissed his chest and I'm almost certain I heard a purr from deep within. I ran my hands across his chiseled abs and heard a low growl in his throat. I wanted him.“I'm trying to behave; your parents are under the same roof. If you keep that up little bird, they won't see us untildinner.” He groaned at me.“I wouldn’t mind.” Rae purred at me.“Ughh, you're right. We should probably get showered anddressed. I needed to talk with my parents and find out how long they intended to stay. Surely they won't insist on me returning with them n
Chapter 33 – Dolos“A vast sea, thousands of islands and they found us that fast?” My mother asked when we explained what had just happened.“Stefanos must be working with Hades now.” Niko said.“Maybe we should take the pack from Hades first and cut off a resource to Stefanos?” I suggested.“But it still doesn't explain how we were tracked to the island.When I purchased the islands, my attorney did it with soleanonymity as a shell corporation. The island is also off the grid with its own water and electric supply.” Dimitri said.“Do you have scramblers on your internet?” My father asked. “Yes.” Dimitri said.“Any new additions to your staff or pack brought to the island?” My mother asked.“The same loyal members from our mainland pack.” Dimitri looked lost in thought.“Alpha, I've got Alec and Spiro on the phone.” Niko said.“Put them on speaker.” Dimitri said. He explained what had just occurred on the beach and Alec also suggested taking out thenorthern pack. Eros’ son, Hades, w
Dimitri's POVChapter 34 – Blast“Kosta should be landing with the helicopter in about tenminutes.” I informed Diesel and Lucy. We stood at the northern peak of the island waiting for Kosta. Lucy was insistent aboutreturning to Alpha Georgios pack right away.“I'll see if I can speak with Odessa alone first. I'll call Knox when I've spoken to her, so he can update you. We'll letGeorgios believe that Knox has returned to Crescent Moon with Rocky, and that we've remained in Greece because Alpha LaRue isn't convinced that Raven wants to be with you. That he'sconsidering taking your head for stealing our only daughter and forcing her to mate with you.” Lucy told me.“Mother!” Raven protested at the idea of forced mating.“We'll see if Georgios will lead us to Stefanos or if he letsanything slip. If we hit a dead end, I'll light Georgios up and send him straight to hell.” Lucy said.“I can position my warriors just outside his pack territory tolead an attack and help if things get st
Chapter 35 – Patient“If he's done something to my sister, I can't just lay around and do nothing. I need to find her. I’m going to kill him myself.”Dimitri growled trying to stand up.“She's our sister now too. You won't be helpful to anyone if you don't allow that to heal.” Knox replied.“Dimitri please.” I tried to calm my mate down. “She's his mate, he won't hurt her.”“Unless one of them rejects the other, then he will.” Dimitri said.“He wouldn't be that stupid, he knows she's your sister and doesn't want to make an enemy of you.” I told him.“Maybe, but Odessa might reject him first, she's obviously not happy about this.” He said.“My parents are with Georgios; they know something isn't right.We’ll find her, we just need you to heal. Dr. Vovos should be here to check your wound and change the bandage one moretime for the night. You can speak to her about your progress.” I said.“I need to get to Georgios, if Odessa is still in his territory, I can find her.” Dimitri said.“W
Dimitri's POVChapter 36 – Claiming“He's going to be okay, won't he Dr. Vovos?” Niko asked.“I've known Kosta since he was a pup, your Uncle is one of the strongest wolves I've ever met.” Dr. Vovos assured us.The pack clinic was a mile down the road from the pack house. It was morning, we had to wait until Dr. Vovos had stabilized Kosta before we could see him.He was connected to machines and tubes, he looked pretty bad.“How long until he wakes up?” I asked, I really needed to talk to him. Find out who did this. He was badly beaten and shotwith a silver bullet. The silver should have killed him, it's a miracle that he even survived.“He's stable for now, but he's not out of the woods yet. It could be a few days or a few weeks. We don't even know the status of his wolf yet.” She said.Shit! We don't have that kind of time to sit around and wait. Ineeded to get going, Georgios’ pack was five hours northeast ofhere. I mind linked Alec and Spiro to meet me in my office in twenty
Chapter 37 – Progress“I'm Lucy Michaels LaRue, Luna of Crescent Moon Pack. As a golden wolf of the Gods, I now claim Zeus's Howlers as myown. We are not enemies with Alpha Dimitri Theodorus. Our daughter Raven LaRue, is his mate and the new Luna ofOlympus Blood Moon. We believe this will be a strong alliance for both packs and Zeus's Howlers will grow stronger andflourish.” My mother said.Applause and joyous howls erupted from the crowd. My mother stood in the middle of the field wearing nothing but my father’s shirt after she shifted back. Dimitri and I stood with my father as my mother addressed her new pack.“Beta Onassis, please step forward.” She called out. The crowd became silent and some exchanged nervous looks. “Some of you may have already heard, our oldest son and heir of CrescentMoon, Knox LaRue, is the mate of the Beta's daughter. This will now connect the packs in more ways than one. We are honoredto have Raquel Onassis, from Zeus's Howlers as the future Lunaof t
Chapter 39 – RaceThe sun was setting as we raced back in the Jeep to our territory.Dimitri was at the wheel and his eyes kept glancing in themirror at the occupants in the back seat. Odessa was seated in the back, between Alec and Hades. The tension in the car was thick.“What the hell happened Odessa? I thought Georgios was your mate?” Dimitri asked and a low growl came from Hades at the mention of Georgios.“It's kind of a long story.” She replied.“We've got time. No one is leaving this car for a few hours.” Dimitri said.Hades spoke first, “My mother was originally from Georgios’ pack, Zeus's Howlers. When my father claimed her as a chosen mate, she switched packs and joined Moon Warriors. He wasn't very good to us and took little interest in me. Growing up, Ispent a great deal of time visiting with my grandparents at theirpack. Georgios’ father had the pack then, he was good to me, let me come and stay whenever I wanted to. My grandparents were wonderful people and I enjoyed
Chapter 40 – Attack“Be a good little bird and stay in the nest. Don't come out for any reason, understand?” Dimitri told me.“Okay.”“Keep the door locked from the inside. Don't open it for anyone. If you set one foot out this door, before I come back for you, I'm going to spank your bottom red!” He crashed his lips into mine.His kiss was hungry, demanding, and filled with emotion. The promise of another spanking sent an exciting quiver down my back. I couldn’t wait until this was over to spend time tangled up with him.“Please be careful.” I whispered as we broke away.“I'll be back as soon as this is over.” He said and closed the door to the nest.I was standing inside of a closet sized metal box, that wasperched on top of the roof of the pack house and looked out over the pack lands. The fire pits were burning bright, if someonedidn't know any better, they would just assume the fire pits were there to light up the grounds for battle.“Let's test the reach of our element.” Rae s
Seven years laterEpilogue“MOM! Uncle Niko ate the rest of my moussaka!” Kyros pouted.“Uncle Niko has a habit of doing that. He doesn't like perfectly good moussaka to go to waste.” I laughed.“Are you going to finish yours or should I take care of that for you too?” Niko asked me.“Touch my plate and you might lose a few fingers.” I growled and shoveled the rest of the food in my mouth.Dimitri chuckled and kissed me on the side of my head. “Don't mess with a pregnant woman's food Niko, you shouldknow better by now after three pups of your own.”Kyros was our oldest, Damien followed two years later, they both looked just like Dimitri. Our twin daughters Alice and Anabeth, looked just like me with the strong LaRue familygenes. I was currently expecting pup number five in about two more weeks.“How's baby Lukas doing?” Clair asked me.“He's kicking a lot, hopefully he won't try to break out beforeLevi's mating ceremony this weekend.” I told her. We had found out the gender of the
Chapter 42 – News“Wake up little bird, the plane just landed.” Dimitri stroked my back to wake me up. I had fallen asleep in his lap on our flight from Greece to Canada.My father had sent the LaRue Enterprises jet for us. We have two mating ceremonies to attend this week. Knox and Rocky's ceremony is tomorrow. Then we will travel to Dark Moon for Peter and Mandi's ceremony. I was excited to show Dimitriwhere I had grown up, have some Chinese food in the village,show him Crescent Point. I’ve also missed my younger brothers and couldn’t wait to see them.It’s been two weeks since Dimitri and I found out about the pup.We haven't told anyone and wanted to do it when we were alltogether. My parents had returned back to Crescent Moon withKnox and Rocky last week to get ready for the mating ceremony. They would officially become Alpha and Luna of Crescent Moon after the ceremony.My parents plan to travel back and forth between packs; but willspend the majority of their time in Greec
Dimitri's POVChapter 41 – Finally“Relax, I just want to meet your little Raven.” He said with a sick smile.“He knows about mate.” Dom growled at me.“We need to make sure and end him this time.” I told Dom.He turned his head to the bird’s nest. “What a suitable place for a raven, in the bird’s nest! Tell me son, is the bird’s nest bullet proof? I can't seem to remember if we made it bullet proof when we built it.”I mind linked Spiro, “tell me you had the chance to line the bird’s nest with another layer of steel?”“I did Alpha, but they won't be shooting regular bullets. We've never tested it against silver bullets!” Spiro linked back.“You have ten seconds to surrender the pack to its rightful Alpha before we turn the bird’s nest into Swiss cheese!” My fatherdemanded.I was about to unleash Dom and lunge at him when an earthshaking growl, with intense power, ripped across the land andshocked everyone. Greeks were taught from a young age to fear and respect the power of the Go
