Sophie’s POVZach hugs me as he passes me. I cling to my brother as support for us both. My mate is still standing by the witness block. He is going to support me.“Ms. Spartan, I know you are carrying a pup, so we will attempt to keep this brief. When did you come to learn about werewolves?”“I was six years old, my father shifted to protect me and Zach from a rouge while we were fishing. However, I am told, I first saw shifted wolves at three, I have no specific memory of understanding Werewolves. So, my answer remains 6.” I explain shaking. Tony takes my hand and rubs it.“Can you describe the mate bond pull, please?”I can’t help but smile. “When Tony is away, I need to know where he is. Not knowing, leaves an emptiness inside me I can’t describe. When he is close, I need to touch him, to feel the tingles and sparks that shoot up and down me from his contact. There is no more attractive man on the planet. No one will ever be able to replace him in my life. He is the missing piece
Daisy’s POVThe Elder looks through papers.“You have accused future Alpha Zachary Sol of abandonment and marking a chosen mate over you. Please, tell us about what you saw on his birthday,” The Elder says giving me his full attention.I straigthen my back and take a deep breath.“Zach’s Birthday, what a fucking disaster that was. I had him inside of me. As soon as his wolf awoke, my neck was bare, all he had to do was bite down. But I trusted the wrong friend.Krista was there for me when Zach and Tony ignored me. She was the friend who played dress up, Barbies, watched Frozen, and played salon with me. We were best friends since we were 4! She was around the Packhouse all the time. Zach never showed much interest or paid much attention to her. Honestly, I thought Sophie was his fated mate. So, if I could get him to mark me before Sophie turned eighteen, then their bond would be broken, and she would never know. Also, my bond with Neal would be permanently broken. She was a pathetic
Tony’s POV“All Rise,” the Head Beta breaks the tension in the room.Zach, Neal and I had been laughing at Daisy getting rejected.“As least her knees are used to that position,” I whispered, seeing her on her knees.Both Zach and Neal laughed.“Stop it,” all three of our mates hissed at us as the Beta made is announcement.Sophie is still giving me a death glare as the Elders file in.Crystal and Carl never returned. Luna and Mom went after them to comfort their friend. I get it. If Lizzie ever had to stand trial and I knew she was going to die, I'm not sure how I would handle it. I’ve never met my daughter in person, but I can promise you this, I’d kill for her.“Be seated,” the Beta says.Elder James stands to read the verdict.“On the charge of conspiring with hunters against an innocent pack; guilty. On the charge of threatening an Alpha’s family; guilty. On the charge of revealing pack secrets; guilty. On the charge of conspiring with another wolf to destroy a pack; guilty. On t
Sophie’s POVIt’s been 4 months. Crystal and Carl left the Sol Pack peacefully and moved to Chestnut. They needed a new start, and we all understand. Mom and Betty still talk to her, just to touch base.Neal has blossomed. He trains with the elite warriors, and he is closing in on top twenty. Tony trains with him daily and they seem to get along. Much better than I ever expected.It’s spring and I’m clearly pregnant now. Waddling around everywhere. I’m as big as Krista, although she could pop any day. I still have at least a month, maybe more. She and I are on the back deck, soaking in the spring air. Zach and Tony are sparing, shirtless, in the grass in front of us. Both wearing black sweatpants and barefoot.“Is that all you got? Come on, Alpha,” Tony jokes as he blocks Zach’s kick. Tony throws a punch, and it rings Zach’s bell a little. “Sorry, dude”Zach shakes it off and they go back at it.Krista sits up, suddenly, “ZACH!” She screams and he and Tony stop and run up to us. “Cont
Sophie’s POV When I enter the Luna suite of the hospital, my brother's face lights up in excitement. “You have to see this beautiful girl. Remember how absolutely beautiful Sueanna was? Well, I think Ally knocks her out!” As I look into his arms, I have to admit, he is not wrong. Alice’s face is perfectly hearth shaped, her skin is like a doll’s, she has wisps of black hair, and her nose is perfectly proportioned to her tiny face. She yawns in her daddy’s arms and opens her eyes. She has Krista’s twinkling blue eyes. She closes her eyes again and opens her mouth. “That’s Krista’s cue,” Zach beams. He looks up at Tony, who is already leaving the room. “Sorry.” “I get it, let her eat,” I say and turn my back so Krista can adjust. “Okay, I’m covered,” Krista says, and I turn around. “What does that feel like?” I ask her, genuinely wondering. “It’s amazing,” Krista smiles. “So, how are you feeling? Should I be scared?” Krista laughs, “I’m exhausted but I can’t
Sophie’s POV“Sabrina, are you sure you don’t mind watching Ally? I know you have two kids graduating,” I hear Krista say as I come into the kitchen.“They are both mated with children, they are adults. I will be in heaven with my sweet Princess,” Mom coos holding Ally.I come into the kitchen and Krista had her hair in a messy bun and she is not dressed.“Hey, do you need help with your hair or anything?” I ask. I’m dressed in a lite pink summer dress with matching flats. I’m too preggers for heels today. My hair is down in soft waves down my back. I did lite make up.“My mom is coming but thank you so much. You need to be off your feet,” she says to me. “Girl, you gonna drop that baby as you walk?”“Oh please, it will be just fine, maybe I’ll go into labor,” I smile at her. “I'm so ready!”“Eat something, Soph,” Mom says, cuddling her granddaughter. “I can’t wait until I’ve got two in my arms.”“Me neither,” I groan.“Oh, Love, you will miss being pregnant when she’s here,” Tony say
Sophie’s POV“Where are the guys?” I ask as we huddle with most of the females in the pack.“They are fighting the fires with the human firefighters,” Krista says. “Sophie, I’m so scared.”I look around and see many female warriors, including Amanda. I move over to her.“Why aren’t you out there?” I ask her.Amanda huffs in annoyance. “The humans would only let trained firefighters help them.”“Dumbass humans,” I joke, making her laugh.“What is it about humans?” Amanda laughs too.“We are so dumb sometimes,” I agree, and others start to laugh. “But I am glad you are all here with me. I feel safer surrounded by you.”The female warriors all smile.We hear trees breaking in the distance.“Still not on packlands,” another warrior tells us.“Stacey, are you okay?” Mom asks a packmember who is holding her young daughter.Stacey looks like she is Mom’s age, but her daughter is younger than Sueanna.“Yes, Luna, thank you for letting me in the packhouse,” Stacey shows Mom a lot of submission
Tony’s POVWhen Norbert arrives, I smile. He bows to me, and I pet his snout.“Hey buddy, there is a green dragon, do you think you can protect the pack and kill him?” I ask and Zach shakes his head.“We have a bow and silver arrows,” Zach reminds me again.“We don’t have anyone who can shot it that far,” I remind him. “And I'm not keen on Sophie trying to tame it or bring it close enough to kill. Are you?”Zach shakes his head and we both look at Norbert.Norbert let’s out a loud squawk and then flies above us.“This is going to attract some attention. Keep the humans back.” Zach orders and our warriors push the humans back.The fire is contained about five miles from the village. Most of our woods are gone. But new growth is possible. It will come back. We just have to be careful when running for a while.The green dragon meets Norbert in the air above us. Their fight doesn’t look dangerous. Instead, it looks like a ballet in the air. They snap
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
Teddy’s POV“I have to get my mother ready for her brother’s death and we need to seal up the pack tight,” Mom tells Dad.Dad nods to agree.“So, you agree, we can’t give her Perfect,” I say, surprising them and me.“Of course, we can’t,” Mom shakes her head.“Son, we would never sacrifice anyone,” Dad tells me. “There isn’t much we can do for Solen, but we can keep everyone else we love safe.”“Especially now that we know the who and what she wants,” Mom says. “I will need Quinn to help manage Mom’s pain.”“I’m sure Perfect will be willing to help in any way she can,” I nod.We go out to tell everyone.Sueanna and Jefferson are still kneeling in submission.“We spoke to Ora, she has Solen,” Dad tells everyone.Sueanna sobs.“What does she want?” Gran asks.“She wants Quinn,” Mom answers.“Then I will go,” Quinn says.“No way in hell, my Uncle would kill me if I allowed it. Trust me, Solan has made peace with the fact we are not coming after him,” Mom explains.“She is right,” Gran ag
Third Person in Faerie Land.Queen Ora surveys her minions. King Liam is frozen in time, Mag is under mind control, all the Faerie Warriors are armed and on Standby. And her special guest is tied to a chair, waiting for his big moment.She knew by adding the Clemmons scent they would put it all together. In a very short time, Quinn will be 18 and fully come into her powers. Ora cannot let that happen.From the moment Quinn was born, everyone was so proud of the Hybrid. Beautiful, powerful, kind, blah, blah, blah. Quinn is the bastard affair baby of her stupid father and a slut she-wolf. She is nothing and Ora plans to make sure the world knows it.Everyone always thought Ora was talentless, but she is beautiful, and she will use that beauty to get her way. No matter who she has to kill. Her father and his slut were so easy. They almost slept right through it.But Quinn was useful! After she killed Quinn’s parents, she discovered her talent!Ora could tap Quinn’s power to look like she
Teddy’s POV“Dad, you okay?” I ask, seeing him come back with blood on his arm.“It’s your Mom’s blood,” Dad tells me.I feel panic rise but Mom walks in.“I’m fine,” Mom rolls her eyes.“She won’t go to the hospital,” Zach says, coming in behind her.“Mother is being stupid,” Liz tells us.“I’m fine, look it healed,” Mom shows us her shoulder.“Let’s meet in the office,” Dad says, holding Mom close to him.“Liz, you too,” Mom says, surprising me and Liz.“Okay, these guys had a scent,” Krista says, joining us.“I know, I caught it too,” Mom adds.Dad and Zach agree.“I don’t want to believe it,” Liz says.“I don’t want to think it but,” Mitch says, looking at his parents.“We scented it too, Soph,” Greg said.“We have to get Mom in here,” Zach says.“I just want to call her to ask,” Mom shakes her head.Dad hands her the phone but hits the speaker as it starts to ring.“Clemmons Packhouse,” A lite airy voice answers.“Luna Sueanna please,” Mom says.“May I ask who is calling?” The gi
Teddy’s POV15 months after the visit to the lawyer.“Perfect, where are you?” I am looking all over for Quinn, who is hiding.Today, we graduate high school. If I can find our Valedictorian.“I never meant to be so smart,” Quinn is hiding in the hollow of a tree.I kneel down so I can talk to her.“But this is a great honor, come on, Baby,” I hold out my hand.“You look handsome,” she tells me.“You like me all dressed up?” I ask, pulling her into a hug and kiss.“I like you anyway I get you,” She teases me.I laugh with her as I hold her.“You ready?” I ask and she shakes her head.“It’s gonna be okay. 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
**Trigger Warning- self-harm, suicide, murder**Zane’s POV“Please tell me you are lying?” Luna asks as I explain what happened. She is sitting on the couch and with Quinn hugging her and me kneeling in front of her.“Baby, there is nothing in the world I want more than to be lying to you,” I tell her.“Perfect, don’t take her pain unless she asks,” Teddy reminds Quinn.Quinn nods but hugs Luna anyway.“Luna?” Mr. Whitman runs to her other side. “What has happened? Where is Marsha?”Saved by the Queen and King of Perfect Timing, Sophie and Tony come in to explain.“Carl, I am going to explain to you what happened and then I am going to ask you what you want to do,” Tony starts and Mr. Whitman nods. “Michelle, Davis’s mate, was brought into the hospital today for severe pain. The Doctors found it was betrayal pains. When mates cheat, the innocent party feels the pain of the betrayal and the more it happens the more intense the pain. Michelle admitted to Sophie only a few minutes ago th
Zane’s POV“Hey, Babe?” Luna calls me from my bedroom.“Hey, Baby,” I answer from my bathroom.“No shirt and gray sweatpants?” Luna eye fucks me as I shave.“You like what you see?” I ask, running the razor down my neck.“You know I do,” She is teasing me.“Zane,” I hear mom’s voice in my room.I pull Luna into the bathroom and shut the door.“Yeah, Mom?” I yell out.“I can smell her, Zane. Both of you, out here,” Mom demands.Luna and I come out.“What’s up, Mom?” I ask crossing my arms across my chest.“Henry and I are going home. Do you want to come with us?” Mom asks.“Mom, I am home,” I use my arms to show her my room.“You are not the Crown Prince anymore, you don’t have to be here,” Mom tells me.“I’m staying and I can’t believe you even asked,” I roll my eyes and pull Luna with me into the bathroom.I hear Mom leave and I look at Luna.“She is your mother, Babe, you were really mean to her,” Luna sits on the counter and makes me look at her. “Why were you so mean to her?”“She
