More Xander coming in the next update as well. :)
I definitely miss being around my mates throughout the month that they are gone, though that has been eased quite a bit with the fact that my pups can come to visit me and messages can be sent back and forth. You add that to the fact that I can go down and see them whenever I want and that makes it a bit easier. But when they first arrive in Selene’s realm and we can come together for the first time that I feel whole. Touching their skin, feeling their lips on mine, smelling their scents, and tasting them fills my soul. And I soak in all of them that I can because this feeling has to last a month. As they lay beside me, trying to catch their breaths from the first round of fucking, I move between Dev’s legs and start sucking his cock. He groans and his hand goes to the back of my head, pushing me further onto him, making me take him all the way down. “Fuck, Xan. Right fucking there!” he moans as I swallow him to the base. Arya tries to move and get in on the action, but my ha
After showering and going another round in there, we dress and head out of our bedroom. Over the years, Xander has expanded the little room that Selene had given him to have alone time with us. Now, it was more of a little house. There was a large bathroom ensuite for us, but then there were also bedrooms for Alexander and Rowen, a game room, a large den, and a kitchen. When the boys were younger, they would sometimes spend entire weeks here with Xander, getting to know Arya’s family, Jacob’s parents, Charlie, and Xander. Though those who live in Selene’s realm didn’t NEED to sleep or eat, the boys still did, so expansions were made to Xander’s house. It was stocked with clothes for all five of us, our favorite foods, and games for the boys as they had grown up through the ages. The boys didn’t come for long visits anymore, but it wasn’t uncommon for them to spend a weekend or a day off with Xander a few times per month. Xander mindlinked Alexander and Charlie as we got dress
We’ve been down here for two weeks at this point. My clothes have gotten too tight for me to wear and Nyx and to scrounge up something for me to wear. At first, they were going to put me in some of the clothing that they had for the novices. It was readily available and it only made sense. But, apparently, the Red One threw a humongous hissy fit, saying that no filthy mutt would sully the clothing of the Crone. So, they had to go buy clothing for me. Suited me fine. Their clothing stank of incense anyway. I don’t know how, but Nyx never smelled like that to me. Maybe because her power wasn’t confined to that of the Crone, but came from Hecate as a whole. Depending on what power she was using, she smelled like incense, new spring leaves, or a summer breeze. But on a whole, she smelled mostly like a walk in the woods on a sunny, warm day. So, Nyx had been sent out, along with several other younger witches, to buy supplies. Apparently some of the creatures that they had nabb
I have been getting text after text from Jacob the entire day. He has finally figured out that JoJo is here with me, though he still doesn’t know where here is. It is exhausting trying to get him to leave me the fuck alone, while at the same time trying to get JoJo to at least talk to him. At least tell him that she wants nothing to do with him. I still can’t believe that Jacob did this. And he’s not only made it so that he and JoJo have rejected each other, but he’s torn apart their trio. All for what? Because he was in love with someone else? He had to know that no relationship before the mating bond is anywhere worth it. That even chosen mates don’t really have the same bond that fated mates do. That’s why most wolves will wait years, shit decades, to find their mate. It hadn’t happened since the war. Not since we have all become a single pack and required that every wolf from the ages of 16 to 25 come to the academy in Arcadia. It made it so that anyone who had a wo
The second that I linked Chris our ideas, she got so excited that she immediately linked in her dads, her fucking demi-god aunt and uncle, and a couple of other high ranked wolves. I nearly screamed in agony at what it did to me head. I just started mindlinking a few days ago and am still having issues with it. Making our two-way link suddenly filled with 10 wolves, two of them demi-gods and I instantly had the worst pain that I’ve ever felt in my life. I’ve never had a migraine before because I’m a wolf, but I’m wondering how humans function if this is what it feels like. The link immediately drops and I pass out. When I wake up, Kayla’s screaming my name, heedless of anyone hearing her. Nyx is leaning over me, afraid to touch me, but obviously very concerned that I just passed out. “I’m ok, Kayla,” I say a little groggily. I look up at Nyx and give her a half smile. “I’m ok. Chris got a little excited by our idea and linked in the entire world.” There’s pounding on the
It’s about three hours before the Riding Hoods are supposed to enter the fae realm. I made sure that I was “chosen” for guard duty earlier today so that I could get my warding materials out to the entry point and the beginnings of the spell started. I had to be careful not to do too much. The Red One would notice if any part of the spell was activated or if too many of the ingredients started to hold a charge. And that would be a problem. Though, she would be even more pissed if she had any idea how many of her witches liked to go into battle stoned as fuck. We each had plots of land in the ether that we used to cultivate whatever we needed to grow for our spells. I had an entire acre dedicated just to weed so that I could use it to barter with those witches. They seemed to think that it helped them access their powers. What it really did was dull their senses and make them less afraid. But it also made them slower to respond and eaiser to get the jump on. But hey, who am
“Is everything ready?” I ask Esteban. “Yeah, everyone’s ready for us to give them the signal. We’re just got to wait for Nyx to let us know that they’ve left and to finish up the ward,” he says. I’m full of nervous energy and having to pee every few minutes because of it. Esteban doesn’t seem to be doing any better than I am. Both of us seem to be nearly vibrating with anxiety to get out of here. Both of us want our mates and knowing that we will be with them in less than 24 hours makes the waiting even harder. I’m pacing back and forth in front of my cot when Nyx finally bursts into the room. “It’s done.” I see Esteban instantly link Chris to let her know. “But, we’ve got a problem,” Nyx says, looking out the cell door to make sure that no one is around. “What?” I ask, my voice coming out more shrilly than I had anticipated because of the anxiety and desire to get the fuck out of here. “The Red One hasn’t gone with the other witches. She took two of our top magic wielder
The relief that floods through my body the second that I hear her voice in my head is enough that I have to steady myself on the wall beside me. My legs almost went out from under me as I got back my balance. We’re standing in the plane as we wait to find out where to go. Everyone in the plane seems fine with the arrangement except for Kanati and Kamama. It is quite obvious that the god and his translator don’t travel by plane and they aren’t convinced that it will make it into the air, let alone stay there. Are you ok, Kayla? How are the pups? They didn’t hurt you guys at all, did they? The questions are coming out of my mouth fast and furious, but I can’t help it. I haven’t spoken to my mate for two weeks. My pregnant mate. My newly mated pregnant mate. I need to touch her. I need to hear my pups’ heartbeats. I need to have her in front of me as quickly as possible because my wolf hasn’t let me rest since she’s been gone. I know that Brandon feels the same as he gri
I have no idea where we are or how long we’ve been here. Loviatar, the scary ass bitch, has us tucked away in between words. We can interact with objects in the real world, but are more wraiths than anything. It has the benefit of not being hungry, tired, or thirsty, but it’s a rather lonely existence. The only time since Loviatar has ‘saved’ us that we’ve had interaction from the outside world is when Nyx contacted me through the coin. Her words still haunt me. “I was the one that set up the ambush on the witches in the fae realm. I was the one that killed all the witches that you left behind.” “We’re coming for you.” “I’ll be the one that finally puts you down.”I have no idea where I went wrong with her. I treated her the exact way that my mother treated me and her mother treated her. It inspired unending devotion and a need to please in both me and my mother. I had no idea how much Nyx hated me. She always showed such deference. Like she revered me, as she should.
I’ve been hanging out with some of the acolytes from the Crone, Maiden, and Mother covens since we came Arcadia. It’s been great to be around all of these witches again. I’ve missed the sisterhood that comes with it. Many of the witches were weary about interacting with me. But after calls from Nora, Citra, and Bella, they relaxed. With their leaders believing me, they were willing to give me a chance. Though my powers are far and above the acolytes, they are the closest to my age and I’d rather find some friends than a magical peer. Not that’d I would have find one anyway. When I told Kayla that my powers are far above behind and beyond any other witch’s, I was telling the truth. The unfortunate part is that I don’t have a lot of the same experiences as they do. Being stuck in underground tunnels with old hags my whole life and very little interaction with the outside world, I don’t have a lot in common with them. My accent and the fact that I’m still seen as a Riding H
“So, what are we thinking?” Roman asks the second that he sits down. “About what, Roman? There’s a lot of stuff we have to go through,” Zak says amused. “Geez, man. At least wait until we all sit down. I haven’t even had my coffee yet,” Erick grouses. He and Roman are close enough to be brothers, so they give each other shit all the time. “Shit. I have no idea how Justine puts up with your impatience. I’d have you bound and gagged before coffee every morning.” Waggling his eyebrows at his best friend, Roman says, “How do you know she doesn’t?” Justine comes over and smacks Roman on the back of the head. “What did I tell you about telling secrets outside of the bedroom.” Erick glares at him. “TMI, dude. Too fucking much TMI.” I can’t help but laugh at them. They remind me of how Charlie, Zak, Brandon, and I used to be with each other. Zak, Brandon, and I are still like that, but I do miss Charlie’s part in it. My childhood best friend. Even though I get to see h
Alexander and Jared ask to talk to me in the alpha suite after the ceremony is finished. I wait until the party is over and allow Mémé Clara to take Lily to our rooms. Esteban and I take the elevator to the fifth floor of the large packhouse. “Why do you think they want to talk to you?” Esteban asks, though I’m pretty sure he knows. “Tehre’s only one reason they would call me on the night that they have figured out that they are mates,” I say, drily. “Same reason they didn’t have Jacob take over his role as lune tonight?” His face mirrors the anxiety that I’m trying hard not to let consume me. Because this is not going to be a fun conversation. I nod. “JoJo.” Jacob lets us into the room, having changed already. I hug him. “Hey, cuz. How you doing?” He hugs me tightly before gesturing me to come in. “Reaping the consequences of my rash actions,” he says sorrowfully. He turns to my mate, hugging him as well. “Hey, Jacob. Congratulations on finding your mate,” Esteban say
I stand in front of a large group of wolves, fresh matemarks on my neck. A stark difference to my twin who stands beside me, a bittersweet air of excitement and sadness. I feel so bad for Alexander and Jacob. They are my brothers. I love them, care about them and seeing them in this pain hurts me. For now, I can’t do anything about it. For now, I have to stand here during this ceremony and then I have to go through the mating time. But after that, I’ll help them find their mate. I’ll help them at least talk to her. And if I have to, I’ll help them deal with their rejection. “Brothers and sisters!” Declan cries out and my attention is drawn back to the ceremony at hand. “We are here today to welcome another alpha and beta into the Moon Goddess Pack!” The entire room erupts in cheers, stomping of feet, wolf whistles, and pounding on tables. Declan holds up his hands and the crowd quiets. “When our goddess created wolves similar to her son Lycaon, she wanted to give h
All of us fall forward, bodies in tangles in the sheets. But the rest doesn’t last long. Because Rowen’s wolf is the one that is always closest to the surface, he tends to incite Summer and my wolves into even more of a frenzy, especially when we are in bed. And now? When we still have one more mate to mark? They are rubbing themselves around in our minds, urging us to complete the bond. They want their final mate marked and mated. And I, for one, am very happy to oblige. I manuver in the bed so that I’m behind Rowen. I pull on his hips until he’s on his knees. “Mmmm, what are you doing back there, Jare?” he asks, his voice full of desire. “Fucking my mate,” I growl out, slamming into his hole, bottoming out in one thrust. “Holy shit!” he nearly screams, pain and pleasure mixed. I know that his wolf loves the savageness with which I’m taking him. And I know that Rowen himself loves it when we dominate him. It doesn’t happen often, because he’s just so damn good at it.
Rowen has to carry me to the bedroom. I’m not kidding you when I say that the orgasm I just had was the most intense in my entire life. It was like pleasure not only took over my pussy, but infused through every fiber, every neuron, every cell of my body. I’m pretty sure that I blacked out. My wolf was so satisfied, I think she actually purred like a goddess-damned cat! But the satisfaction didn’t last long. I have two mates to mark. Jared has a bottle of lube in his hand, crawling towards us on his knees across the bed. Rowen sets me down and I immediately start crawling over to Jared. “Lay down,” I tell both of them. They are both going to be getting fucked tonight. Might as well make sure they are both loosened, lubed, and ready. Because the way that my arousal is still flowing down my thighs, I’m not going to need it. When they are in position, I pour lube on both of their holes. “Closer together,” I tell them. “I want to suck on both of your cocks while I fing
We stayed with Dad throughout the night, laughing about old times, talking about the responsibilities that will come with our new positions, and talking about the matebond. I can’t wait until I get back to wake up and find my mates. The fact that I know exactly who my mates are, that they are the ones that I’ve wanted my entire life, takes away all of the anxious energy that I’ve been feeling leading up until my birthday. Now, I’m just filled with excitement and impatience. “Am I allowed to tell Summer?” I ask Dad as we’re getting ready to leave. “Yes,” he smiles wide. “You can even mark her if you want. She’ll feel the sparks.” Dad’s face suddenly takes on a worried expression. “Selene was supposed to be here to tell you that. She swore me to secrecy a long time ago. Hell, before Jared’s birthday. She said that she made it work out like this because of the fact that the three of you are Elite warriors and will be needed in the war to come. She wants you at your stronge
I had a feeling that I would be seeing my boys tonight. The night before they were born. Their 21st birthday. It’s so hard to believe that the babes that I held in my arms when they were born, the pups that I have watched grow, both with me and on Earth, are going to be fully fledged wolves. I’m so proud of the males that they have turned out to be. They are strong, brave, kind, loving, and, above all, happy. I love them so much and I am the proudest papa wolf in the entire would because of them. Right now, Alexander has been dealt a shit hand. A really shit hand. I feel awful for him. Jacob really screwed the pooch on that one. I legitimately don’t get it. I mean, I wanted to have my mates more than anything in this world. The only thing that made me even think about rejecting Arya was to help save her pain. But I always, always, always wanted them. I mean, I know who all of our pups are mated to. Jacob, Rowen, and Alexander. I also know who all six, well seven
