Sophie’s POVThe pack was excited, most were unsurprised. I mean, it has always been the three of us. There were cheers when Zach kissed me in front of the pack, but I was not prepared for the cheers when Zach and Tony sealed their bond with a kiss in front of the whole pack.I heard Zach whisper “do you forgive me?” And Tony answered yes, before they lip locked. I smiled seeing that.We took Friday and divided up pack duties and spent most of Saturday catching up on work our mating had pushed aside.“Ready, Baby?” Zach, in particular, is excited for tonight.“Princess, you feel ready?” Tony asks. He is more nervous.I smile and nod. All week I have felt my wolf moving. Growing, getting ready and in just a few minutes, the full moon would be over head.We make our way out to the field. I’m shifting with the other new wolves. Most are 18, but I’m a little older.When I feel the moon’s glow on my face, I feel the urge. Tony smiles at me and nods.I remember his first shift. It wasn’t in
Krista’s POV“MOM!” Ally’s voice breaks my afternoon silence.School is out and my two kids, age 14 and 11, are home.“How was school?” I ask, seeing only her in the kitchen. “Where is your brother?”“Yeah, so, about that,” Ally gives me a tight smile. “He is talking to Hank. Someone called Zane a fake prince again.”I let out a huge sigh. “Has anyone called your Dad?”Ally nods. “Uncle Tony landed Norbert right on the school grounds.”I put my head in my hands. My ex-Mate has re-mated to a couple, his childhood friends Sophie and Tony. My ex is also the King of Werewolves, which makes my children, his children, his heirs. I get to keep my daughter forever. But my son, will be the next King in 9 years, 5 months and 19 days.He also moves to the Royal Residence in 5 months and 19 days to begin training.“What did Tony do?” I ask, amazed the principal hasn’t called me yet.“Nothing much, just called Zane, His Royal Highness by the Grace of the Moon, Zane Sol. Gave Zane a message from Dad
Teddy’s POV“Yo, bro, what did you do to Mom?” I ask as I plop on Zane’s bed.“I was disrespectful to Hank,” Zane says, plopping down next to me.“She was so pissed, my Dad pissed himself after the mindlink he got. Then, he and I had to come in here and strip the place. Took four Omegas to help us,” I laugh. “You are screwed, my dude.”Zane rolls his eyes as we both stare at the ceiling.“Why didn’t you ride with them to get us?” Zane asks.I smile, then sigh. “Sally Frays was here.”“She is like 18, man, did she even look at you?” Zane asks.“Nope, but she was swimming,” I smile at memory.“Please tell me you took pictures or video,” Zane begs.“Gross, man, I ain't no prev,” I protest as his door opens and our sisters enter.“So you say,” Ally quips.Mitch, of course, is following them around like a puppy.“Hey, Mitch, how come you are always on Ally’s tail?” I ask, knowing the answer.How I feel about Sally, Mitch feels about Ally.“Can’t think of a better view,” Mitch answers, maki
Zane’s POV“Where did this come from?” Dad turns the book over and flips through it.“It was one of the volumes Kris and I brought from the old Palace,” Sophie tells him.“We were trying to protect you,” Tony tells us in one of his more serious moments.“How, Daddy? Lizzie asks with a sad look.I move next to her and give her a hug.“We don't get mates unless we fall in love?” Ally asks.“No problem,” Mitch tells her, holding her close to him.“Mitch,” Gwen warns as he leans to kiss Ally’s head.Mitch rolls his eyes but does not kiss my sister.“It’s not as easy as you think,” Dad tells them.“Zach needed a little help remembering who he loved when the time came,” Tony smirks before kissing Dad’s cheek.“I don’t need help,” Mitch tells us. “Even if I have to choose you and reject someone.”“Mitch a rejection will not help,” Sophie explains. “What we have done is deny the girls royal titles. The curse should bypass them.”“So, just Zane and I won't get mates?” Teddy asks. “There has to
Teddy’s POVAbout 4 years Later- Mitch’s 18th Birthday.“It’s not fair,” Ally screams at the top of her lungs.“Baby, look at me, I don’t care. I love you. I don’t care about the rest,” Mitch tries to tell her.“But we deserve tingles, sparks, the haze, the pull,” Ally cries.“All I care about is that I get you,” Mitch tells her. He pulls her against his chest as she cries.“So, the plan didn’t work?” Zane asks me as we stand in the foyer, watching his sister’s break down.“Nope,” I tell him.“So, we ready?” He asks.I see Ally inconsolable, and I know what I have to do.“Do we tell them?” I nod to our parents.“We tell Liz. She and Ally will have to cover for us,” Zane explains.I smirk at him, knowing he just wants her to kiss him already.“Okay, go tell Liz,” I chuckle. “I’ll get Norbert ready.”Zane gives me a smirk that reminds me of Zach when Zach is flirting with my Mom.I make my way to Norbert’s nest.“Hey, Buddy,” I announce, waking him up.“You are presenting yourself late
Zane’s POV“No, I’m Zane,” I answer this strange woman. “Who are you?”“Zane, sorry, what is your last name?” She asks me, walking closer. I see she also looks like my Dad.“I’ll answer when you do,” I tell her.She gives me a soft smile. “My name is Lynn. I was mated to Duke Douglas. I am technically the Queen Mother.”Both Teddy and I tilt our heads to look at her. Who?“To be the Queen mother you would have to be the mother of my father, my grandmother,” I tell her. “But I have a grandmother. Her name is.”“Please don’t say that homewreaker's name,” Lynn holds up her hand.Suddenly, the house shakes.“What the hell?” Teddy asks.“Fine, I am the homewreaker,” Lynn huffs. “Your father never told you about me?”Teddy and I both shake our heads.She looks sad before she continues.“Well, I was Ted Sol’s first mate. I chose to leave him for the Duke, which meant I had to leave my son,” Lynn starts. “But I can’t leave this house. I have a penance to do. The goddess will not let me die un
Teddy’s POV“So, we have the real Queen and King's names who started all this shit. We have the Queen’s diary, and we have a list of all the known hunters. This trunk is all we need,” I declare. “We take this back to the girls and let their superior intelligence figure out the rest.”Zane looks through the Hunter’s Book.“They broke off into tribes,” he tells me as he speed reads. “The Zenith people were in Scotland but came here in 1598 in search of the pack that took their, at that point, great-grandmother. They recruited other settlers through the years. Why are you and Liz in here?”I look over his should.“Dragons of Thunder, Sophie Zenith 10/26/2021, Elizabeth Spartan 05/29/40, Theodore Spartan 5/18/43, Yoel Spartan 1/23/44,” I read carefully. “Whoa, what the hell?”“Why are y’all listed as hunters? The last of the Dragons of Thunder?” Zane asks.“Mom is listed as Sophie Zenith, her last name was Sol,” I say out loud, trying to comprehend what I am reading.“I told you she was n
Zane’s POV“What do you want to do?” I ask Teddy. “We can just call them and make them tell us over the phone.”He nods but isn’t really listening.“I don’t understand,” Teddy falls back onto my bed. “My family history should have nothing to do with the curse.”“Right,” I nod. “We will put that to the side. Let’s see what else is in the trunk.”He sits up and we go back to the trunk. We pull out loose pages and other diaries, but nothing helps us. Teddy stands up and kicks the trunk. The bottom pops open and we see three volumes.The Dragon Tale, The Dragon Keeper, The End of Dragons.Teddy and I look at each other.“Grab Volume one, the Dragon Tale,” Teddy huffs. “Why do I feel like this is about to be ridiculous?”“Because it most likely is,” I say, opening the Sliver colored book.Dragons are among the first animals created at the beginning of time. These dragons died if killed and only lived 200 to 300 years. They would have been the only dragons in existence, if not for the selfi
Tony’s POV“Hey, you okay?” Sophie asks me as we get ready to go downstairs.“I guess,” I smile. “Yoel ready?”“He and Gloria are taking an extra hour,” She shakes her head. “Both our sons are just like you.”“Oh yeah, how?” I ask, pulling her into my arms.“Insatiable,” She whispers, before leaning in for a kiss.We deepen our kiss and I know we could also use an extra hour, but we have guests to welcome. Our final act as King and Queen.Today, we hand over all responsibilities to our son, Theodore Sol Spartan, and his wife.I know Teddy managed to get a yes when he asked. Granted he asked in the garden under a Super-moon. Show off.“Gran,” We hear before the sound of fairy wings fill the air. “You look pretty.”Sabrina Sol Spartan, my granddaughter, my only grandchild right now, is 3. She was born with wings, extremely rare, but not completely unheard of. She has Teddy’s face but Pink hair and blue eyes.“What about Poppa?” I ask, stepping back so she can see my royal robe and crown.
45 days laterTeddy’s POVIt's the full moon after Luna, Quinn’s and MY Birthdays! Well, technically at Midnight I turn 18, which means tonight is our first shift.“Sorry, Baby,” Luna pouts as we stand with the other first shifters.“Mr. Perfect, I've never seen you sweat like this!” Quinn dries my head.“Yeah, all male wolves go through that before they get their wolf and meet their mate,” Dad smiles at Mom. “I was a puddle.”Mom smiles and they share a kiss.I feel it in my stomach and then it's like a snap.I smile when the snap is over.“Perfect,” Quinn and I say in unison as the pack cheers.“Okay,” Dad claps, getting everyone’s attention. “First time shifters. Let the wolves come forward!”I hold Quinn’s hand until I don't have a hand to hold anymore. I feel my bones adjust but it is not horrible. Perks of being an Alpha.“Breathe, Baby!” I hear Zane talk to Luna.She really struggling.I look over and Quinn is completely shifted. Her eyes still glow purple, but her fur is a dee
Lizzie’s POVAs we walk through the portal, we see a smirking Ora. And iron spears pointed at every Faerie in Faerie Land“Cutting it close,” She smirks. “You only had two minutes left. Where is the bitch?”“We are not bringing her,” Dad says. “You are coming with us.”“Oh, I don’t think so. See everyone thinks I am a talentless Fairy, but I’m not,” She smiles. “I have the talent to take from others. And I took from my witch friends the ability to cast spells. So, I cast a spell on all these iron weapons. If I die, so does every fairy except my own sister.”Ora makes a fake pout.“If you cast a spell, then I can undo it,” Camila tells her.Ora looks at Camila with narrowed eyes. I see the spears inch closer to their victims.Soraise protects the nest. Moving the old woman out of the way. I look over and see a spear at my Uncle Solen too.Camila holds Ora glaze and I inch closer to my Uncle.Dad- Can you get to him?Me- You and Camila keep her attention.Dad- Camila?Me- She is my m

Trust me, Solan has made peace with the fact we are not coming after him,” Mom explains.“She is right,” Gran ag

You have a great speech, it’s short, sweet, and to the point. It’s going to be okay.” I kiss her nose.“I turn 18 soon, then you turn 18, what if we aren’t mates?” She asks, her pink hair smelling strong of lilac.“Hey, look at me,” I force her to look at me. “I love you and that is all that matters. Now, come on, before Zane mounts Luna again and we have to wait for them to shower ag
