Troy’s POV I wait on the rooftop for Octavia looking up at the stars, I have a feeling what she wants to talk about… Klaus. I am honoured she is ready to trust me but I don’t know if I am ready to hear about the love she has for him, I only just got her and call me selfish but I don’t want to share her with anyone dead or alive. I hear the door open and I continue to gaze at the stars, they look so bright and beautiful tonight. “Hey handsome, what ya looking at?” she comes up behind me and wraps her arms around me burying her face into my shoulder blades. “Just looking at the stars thinking about how much I love you.” I say truthfully. I feel her lift her head up, “I love you to Troy.” She moves around me so she can face me. I look down and smile, I know she means it because I can feel it through the bond, so why do I feel like I’m about to have my heart ripped out? “I know what you’re thinking Troy, and it’s ok, I would never break your heart because it is mine. But you do nee
Octavia’s POV “Someone want to tell me why I have to be here.” Mira asks when we get into Ray’s office. I shrug, I have no idea why we are all here. I mean I know they need to make a decision about when Uhtred will take over the family throne but I don’t see why we need to be here for it. “Because your mother has asked you all to be here, that’s why.” My dad says, I can sense tension coming off him, something isn’t right. I look to Uhtred and he too has an uneasy expression on his face. Mum walks in and gestures for us all to sit down. “What’s going on ma.” Uhtred asks sitting down next to me and Quinn. “Your father and I have an announcement to make, and before you all freak out you need to know this is something we need to do and there will be no arguments on the matter.” She says sternly and we all look at each other, the tension is growing thick in the air. “Right dear do you want to tell them or shall I?” She looks to our dad standing in front of Rays desk. He sighs and t
Troy’s POV I was talking with my dad about the coronation being moved up to my birthday on Friday when I felt pain through the bond but when I realized it was just Octavia fight her sister I left them to it, I have to admit their family is crazy but in a cool way. The fact they can hug each other and laugh after something like that just shows how close they are, even if they fight like rabid wolves. I jump in the shower with Octavia helping her wash the blood off her back, “So my dad told me our coronation is being moved up to Friday.” I say cautiously, I’m not sure if she knows about it yet but I feel like we should probably talk about it. “Yea my parents told me, how do you feel about it being on your birthday?” she asks washing her hair out. “I’m ok with it, it means our pack will have a Luna and be strong again, and when your pack moves in we will be leaders of the biggest pack in New Zealand. It’s a lot of pressure but as long as we are together we can get through anything.”
Octavia’s POV “So, you wanna tell me why Troy was interrogating me about Zane and let us have the day off?” Harper asks on our way to the airport. Crap she picked up on that, I could hear Troy talking to Harper at the bar about Zane but I think he just wanted to get a bit more information to confirm his theory that he had a crush on me. “Uh yea about that… so this is top secret, but I suppose you need to know since it might involve you too. If Uhtred and Faith aren’t Mates then I have to become leading Queen of Mann and run the kingdom until he finds his Fated Mate,” “Wait what your leaving, but you just got here and your about to be Luna.” She interrupts. “Yea but I don’t have a choice, mum and dad are leaving to find Alpha Damon on Saturday and probably won’t return.” “Oh shit, really.” She interrupts again. “Yea so it leaves me to take the throne, even though I’m not twenty-one, Troy will be on Friday and when I become Luna it qualifies me to run the kingdom but… I have to ch
Troy’s POV I was a little taken back by Zane at first, as far as blokes go he is pretty good looking and watching him fight with my Mate had my wolf clawing in my chest. I have a quick chat with Octavia about the fight with Zane while she showers, “So do you think he would make a good Beta?” I ask her, “Cause I will kill him if he lets any harm come to the two of you.” She giggles, “Don’t worry babe, I will kill him myself if he lets any harm come to Nicklaus, but he is trained well, even if he wouldn’t fight back for a while, but when angry he doesn’t hold back.” She says reaching for Nicklaus in my arms to join her. “Yea, about that… I was right wasn’t I.” I say smirking though I’m not overly proud of it. “Yea I think so, it did seem to pinch a nerve when I teased him about it.” Dammit I was kind of hoping he didn’t still have feelings for her especially now I know he looks like a bloody Hemsworth brother jacked up on steroids. “Has he always looked like that?” I ask not bothe
Octavia’s POV I had an image in my mind of what I was expecting this dress to look like, knowing my sister she would humiliate me out of spite because that’s just what little sisters do but this… this dress is incredible, granted it took a while to figure out how to actually put it on with the long train and such but now looking at myself in the mirror even I have to admit she did me a solid I look… hot. I am doing a little twirl when Viola walks in and her mouth drops to the floor speechless, I guess I look as good as I feel so that’s a bonus. “Soo, what do you think.” I ask twirling around with my arms out. “You look…ah” she stumbles on her words for a moment, “Amazing and beautiful and breath taking, Troy is going to have a heart attack.” She smiles walking towards me. I grin widely at her. “You two are going to be the hottest Luna and Alpha of all time I swear your sister has a real talent, she should be a designer or something.” Viola looks me up and down, I can see tears for
Troy’s POV Today is the day I turn twenty-one and become the Alpha of the largest pack in New Zealand, to say I’m a little stressed would be an understatement. I am anxious to meet the oracle and hear what she has to say about my prophecy, not to mention how Octavia is going react when she hears about it too, it has me wondering if that is why her parents are leaving tomorrow instead of waiting to be here for Warrens fifteenth birthday which will awaken his wolf, because they know Octavia won’t take the news of our pre-arranged mating well. I mean at first I wasn’t happy about it but now that I am Mated to her I couldn’t imagine being this happy with anyone else, she completes me and has given me a purpose in life I love her with every fibre of my being. I turn my head to watch her sleeping next to me, she is so beautiful I wish I could stay like this with her forever. We spent most of the day yesterday in bed with her still being ‘in heat’ today is the last day of her cycle so ho
Octavia’s POV Mira is driving me crazy with all her demands, I thought mum put her in charge of dressing everyone not of organizing the coronation it doesn’t help I can feel a rollercoaster of emotions coming through the bond from Troy, I have no idea what he is doing but whatever it is it’s now stressing him out. I want to go see if he is ok but apparently I have a list of chores that need doing first, I roll my eyes and decide to send him a mind link instead. “Hey babe, everything ok, I can sense your anxious about something.” I don’t get a reply for a while so I continue to fold napkins in the shape of swans on the tables in the grand hall. “Hey beautiful, I’m ok, just had a talk with dad about mum. How are you… I miss you.” Troy links back. “I miss you too, Mira is driving us all nuts, wanna spring me free and have some fun.” I say in my cheeky voice. “Sorry babe but I have a bunch of stuff to do but I will meet you for lunch in the kitchen.” He replies and I agree though I
Troy’s POV The ice suddenly starts to shake and crack, I look around for Octavia to see she has killed the Witch, she’s looking around at wolves sinking through the cracks and the Witch falls in too, I can see the panic on her face as she starts to freeze the lake over again. I hear a growl behind me but before I can turn around Damon’s hands wrap around my neck snapping it and just before he throws me in the water I hear Octavia’s scream then nothing. “Hello child.” A voice speaks through the darkness. “Where am I?” I ask I can’t see anything but darkness and feel cold. “You are in what I like to call limbo, a between state if you will.” She speaks again. “Why can’t I see you.” I don’t need to ask who it is I already know it’s Selene the moon Goddess. The darkness doesn’t fade away but a women in white comes into view. I gulp, “Mum?” I ask not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not. She smiles at me her warm arms embrace me I feel like I’m dreaming I can’t even speak
Octavia’s POV No no no no this can’t be happening I can’t breathe, I can’t see anything except my father’s head being ripped off on a loop and the look in his eyes right before it happened. I scream as loud as I can because that is all I can do right now, I’m so full of anger and pain I see red and feel my body get really hot, I ball my firsts at my sides and let out another scream, my mother falls to the ground cradling my father’s head, crying and screaming, I look down at my hands and realize I am on fire and I know exactly who I’m going to burn with it I look up at Troy and before he can reach out to stop me I turn on my heels and run straight for that traitorous bastard. I hear my siblings wail through the mind link feeling the loss of my father and I block out the mind link to everyone I can’t hear myself think. Piper is pleading me to let her out to tear Damon’s head off but I want the satisfaction of tasting his blood in my mouth when I do the same to him. I am vaguely awa
Troy POV “They are approaching the east boarder near lake Pearson Alpha.” One of the warriors mind links. I look at my Queen she looks fierce and full of rage the red and gold showing in her eyes. “How dare he chose that sacred place for a battle.” She growls. I can feel intense power radiating off of her and through the bond, it’s so strong it almost has my wolf cowering, Gods I hope she doesn’t lose control she has been doing so well with her training and keeping calm thus far. “Jax I want you to send two teams around the back flank them from behind and make sure they don’t try to sneak through the hills to get to the Packhouse while we are in battle.” I order My Beta. He leaves with two teams. “Zane you stay with Octavia.” I order he nods, “Always.” “Babe where is Warren.” I ask. “He will stay behind me in human form and wont shift until I give the command, Kane knows his job he will obey.” She explains while struggling to fasten her belt around her waist. “You ok babe.” I
Octavia’s POV I can do this, I can do this, I am strong, I am a warrior, I am a Luna, I am a mother. I take a few deep breaths trying to control my rapid beating heart, I turn around and see Troy step out of a room and walk towards me almost in slow motion, his wavy black hair bouncing on top of his head, ocean blue eyes piercing my own, chiselled jaw with a trimmed beard, I trace me eyes down his broad shoulders and bulging biceps to his perfectly sculpted pecks and abs that are clearly visible through his tight fitting white shirt. I continue my trail down his body watching his thighs strain against his black dress pants with our Packs Eclipse Moon emblem on his belt and can’t help but wonder how glorious his ass would look toog, I bring my eyes back up to meet his and see a smirk on his face, he knew I was checking him out and the look in his eyes when he checks me out is of pure adoration and hunger too. The gown Mira made for me is beautiful though not quite as colourful as my
Troy’s POV As the engines roar and the credits roll on the tiny screen on the seat in front I look out the window at the lights of the cities below getting closer by the second then over to my sleeping Mate, she looks so peaceful I almost don’t want to wake her but the pilot announced we will be landing soon. I sigh reaching over to wake her, things are about to get really crazy and I need her to be awake and not grumpy when we meet her parents. “Hey princess time to wake up the plane is landing.” I give her a little shake but she groans and tries to roll over falling out of her recliner seat and landing on the ground with a “Umph.” “Troy!” she yells. She must think we are in our bed at home. I laugh at her and she lifts her head with a scowl then quickly realizes we aren’t at home and she’s on the floor of the plane everyone staring at her, “Fuck.” I continue laughing while she gets up and in her seat delivering a solid blow to my bicep. Maybe I shouldn’t have woken her after a
Octavia’s POV Last night was incredible the way Troy took possession of my body was mind blowing though I know he wanted to make it memorable so I’d have something to remember him by it was totally out of this world I felt like I was riding cloud nine I just wish it didn’t have to be our last for a while. Troy’s still asleep so I slip into our wardrobe to get the present I got him to remember me by and have a little fun with the phone sex I plan on having with him. “Morning handsome.” I whisper in his ear. “Mmm morning beautiful.” His eyes flutter open. “You’re up early.” He rubs the sleep out of his eyes. “You can sleep when I’m gone.” I say kissing his lips down to his jaw. It’s true I haven’t been up this early on purpose in I don’t even know how long but I figured I can sleep on the plane and I want to spend every minute I can with my man. “I got you something.” I slide the parcel box out from behind my back and place it on his chest while I sit back on his waist. “What’s
Troy’s POV “I’m Pregnant.” Harper blurts out. Holy shit. I did not see that one coming, I mean I guess I kind of knew it would happen eventually but damn that was quick. Octavia stands frozen holding her best friend while she sobs in her arms and I realize now that Jax is now sobbing too. I don’t get it why are they so sad shouldn’t this be the happiest day of their lives? Jax has been wanting a pup since they marked each other. “Sis.” Zane walks slowing over to his sister. “When did you find out?” he asks worry on his face. “Yesterday.” She sobs. And the look of worry on everyone’s faces is starting to make sense now, she knew she was pregnant and got completely obliterated last night anyway, the question is why. I sigh, “Are you still pregnant.” I ask breaking the awkward silence. Everyone is thinking it I might as well be the one to ask. They all look at me a mixture of emotions thick in the air. “I… I think so.” She finally speaks. I let out a breath I didn’t realize
Octavia’s POV “Ugh, I hate you.” I groan to Harper as she hands me a coffee. What was supposed to be a single drink to wake my ass up turned into an all-round party, though Harper definitely stitched me up with those insane drinks she called a ‘Harper special’ I don’t think I have ever been hunger especially not like this anyway, I feel like my head is going to explode and my stomach churns every time I move too quickly. She chuckles at me, “If it makes you feel any better I spent all morning with my head down the toilet too.” “Maybe a little.” I chuckle then immediately regret it feeling a wave of nausea wash over me. “Well, well look who it is the two dancing Queens, we were wondering if we would see you today.” Warren laughs. I frown and look at Harper, “What are you talking about?” I ask confused. “Don’t you remember? You both put on ABBA and started singing and dancing on the tables till you both fell off and passed out on the floor, Troy and Jax had to carry you both to be
Troy’s POV Octavia’s parents encourage Warren on telling him he can do this and to breathe through it and not fight it. I can remember my first shift and how painful it was and wishing my mother could have been there to see it and support me the way Silvia is now, I get a pang of jealousy watching her but I quickly dismiss it this is Warren’s day not mine. He is taking longer to shift than I did I wonder if that’s because he is of royal bloodlines, “Is this normal for you guys, to take this long.” I whisper to Octavia and Uhtred. The look in their eyes tells me it’s not, I can sense worry through the Mate bond so a wrap an arm around Octavia’s waist pulling her into my side for support. “Ma what’s wrong with me. It. Hurts. So. Bad.” Warren cries out. Uhtred steps forward to help him though I’m not sure there is much he can with his limbs flailing about. “Babe, he’s taking too long this is killing him.” I whisper to Octavia again. She nods a tear slipping down her cheek and move
