Hmm, I wonder why the Goddess would do such a thing? MM xx
Lyra It's been two days since we rescued Kalsea and Dollar. Kalsea is still to wake up. The longer she slept the more my suspicion grew, something was off and the whole thing went to smooth.Demitri hasn't left Dollars side and i don't blame him, I can see how conflicted he is as Kalsea is like a sister to him. Atlas hasn't so much as washed, never mind eaten or slept. Maddox has been sitting with him but even he was starting to get worried. My sister Evanka, phoned not too long ago, Maximus and her seem to be loving Paris and my apartment. It is a stunning penthouse apartment, I loved to watch people while having a glass of red on the terrace. My men have been working double time trying to find out what Vladimir is up to but so far Ahmet and him seem to be off the radar, let's be honest that just screams trouble. I know both men and I know they are both all about how they look. My father never tried to marry me off again after Ahmet but he also never allowed me to be me. While Vla
Beta AtlasIt feels like forever that I have sat in this room, watching over my mate as she remains unconscious. Kalsea is beautiful, her red wild curly hair makes me smile. Her small frame is perfect, it suits her bubbly personality.I have studied every part of her face from her pouty full lips to her perfectly arched brows. The temptation to run my hand over her soft skin on her cheek, but then it is inappropriate touching her while she sleeps and doesn't know.Maddox has not long left, he comes in every couple of hours to check if I have eaten, slept any things I may need. The only thing I actually need is her to waken, I am desperate to look into her eyes. Lyra is looking tired, I know she is as worried as I am. Demitri and Dollar, well that was a surprise. I haven't spoken to Dollar yet. I know they will want some time to themselves. I understand that, I mean I haven't left this room since we arrived back.Leaning over I can't help myself, I reach out and brush a strand of her h
VladimirGroaning, I try to move, but I am getting held in place with a variety of arms and legs. Flashes of the night before appear before my eyes, I can't help but smirk. Last night was wild. Ahmet has the best brothels, the females are strong.Dragging a hand down my face as the uneasy feeling threatens to creep back. Acting big in front of Ahmet is one thing but in all honesty Lyra is a lot to deal with, she’s like a fucking force of nature. If I am honest, part of me admires the spirit Lyra has, even though another part of me hates her. I hate the way even though my father tries and fails to control her he still looks at her with pride. Even Ahmet still talks about her with a touch of lust, he thinks he is still going to take her as his Queen. I laugh at the thought, my sister almost killed him and yet he still thinks he can tame her. There is more chance of her killing him, I tried to tell him the wolf is her tie but he thinks he can kill the Alpha. I just let him and his delu
Lyra About two months ago my friend Elsie that I met years ago in Italy sent me a book, In her words a naughty little treat. So while Maddox and the other men were outside training I decided to start reading; well holly fuck.She was not wrong, I have been reading for about two hours now and haven't moved off my bed. It definitely lives up to its name A Taste of Sin. I have never slept with a Fae, but boy I am more than curious. Makes me wonder about the author, Eliza Selmer. Bet she’s a naughty girl, the thought makes me laugh.I can hear the men come in all laughing and shit, I almost squealed when Maddox’s sweaty body jumped on my back as I lay on my tummy reading. “What are you reading that has the room smelling of your arousal? Haven't I already told you that is only for me” Maddox growls, and rubs his now growing erection on my ass, causing a moan to leave my lips. Turning around under him I snake my arms around his neck, pulling him to me.“It’s a book about” I stop to think h
Alpha Maddox I watch her eyes go wide, I keep my arms tight around her there is no fucking way she is getting away this time. I can feel her panic through the new bond that simmers away on my neck, begging to be completed.I wait a few minutes, allowing her to calm down enough so I can talk to her. I search her face and listen to her heart to make sure she won’t flip out.“Are you okay?” I find myself asking slowly and as gently as possible. She blinks back before her eyes flick back to her mark on my neck. “I got carried away, I didn’t mean to mark you” Her eyes never leave the mark, she reaches up and touches her mark. At her touch my body comes alive and I shudder, she smiles when she realises I am reacting to her touch.“What does it feel like?” She almost whispers, still tracing her mark on my neck. She looks so innocent even though I know she is deadly, this is a side of her she keeps private, only for me. She licks her lips and her eyes twinkle. A movement I am sure was unint
LyraMy whole body feels different. It's strange but in a good way. I can feel everything, his mood, his feelings and his love for me. I am just watching him sleep, he is some specimen of a man and he is all mine. I find myself running a hand down his naked back, he moans slightly and sturs. “Trying to have your way with me when I am sleeping” Comes the gruff voice of my Mate sending tingles straight to my core. Fuck this man is made to sin, all I do is smile as he cracks open one of his stunning sapphire coloured eyes. “And if I was? You are mine” I drag the R out as I know it does things to him with my Russian accent. Maddox visibly shivers, within seconds he has flipped us over and has me pinned to the bed. I find myself giggling, I giggled what the fuck; not something I have ever done.Maddox starts to tickle and nip at his mark on my shoulder, when the door gets knocked. Growling at the distraction he tries to ignore it when it comes again more frantic this time. Maddox jumps of
Alpha Maddox Last night I spent some time with Atlas, my Beta is smitten with his little Mate. He had explained how she was injured and mentally shaken. He was taking things slowly and even though they had marked each other they hadn't actually slept together.He was totally fine with it and I could see the worry in his eyes, he said he missed her giggling personality. She looked at him with so much love, and watched my big lug of a Beta be attentive to his tiny Mate. Lyra has been working non stop for the past couple of hours, she has been in contact with some associates in the states to get back up if needed. My woman is unbelievable, she has her fingers in so many pies. We leave in an hour. Kammi has the Jet ready, Carlos and Masimo have been loading the Jet with what I assume is Lyra’s toys. I wish I could be more helpful, but the best I could do is offer the hotel’s penthouse. I had bought the Hotel two years ago off the Alpha to another pack who hit some money problems. In fa
LyraThe only way to protect the people I love is to hand myself over. I keep this part of my plan to myself, Maddox wouldn’t allow me to do this but I'll do what needs to be done then return. Personally asking forgiveness is better than asking permission, that's just not in me, not even for Maddox.I can't believe they burnt down Jareds bar, everytime i think about poor Jared I feel so guilty. He was the first person who made me feel welcome in that country, I always looked forward to seeing him. I sigh and snuggle down into Maddox, curled up in a ball on his lap as he draws small circles on my hip with his large hands. I can feel he is trying to keep his frustration under control, and I appreciate it more than he will ever know. I just need time to think before we land, having contact with my tie always helps me to relax. I know i am being selfish but i can't have anyone harmed due to me being stubborn.As I think that I catch Kalsea’s eye she is snuggled up to Atlas, she looks so s
Epilogue part one Five years laterLyra“Aleksei, be nice to your cousin when she arrives” I tell my now moody five year old. He gets more like his father everyday, and has the moody Alpha act perfected. He sits at the dining table feeding his two year old sister Czarina, even though my daughter is more than capable of feeding herself. “Why does she have to come again, Mommy?” Aleksei says with the cutest little pout. “She always wants to play with me” He huffs, making me smile. Even at a young age he is so clever and it is easy to forget he is only five.I pick up my daughter and sit her on my swollen baby bump, she claps her hands and kisses my cheek. “Daddy said you need to be careful” My son says, pulling his sister down and holding her hand as we make our way to the front door to meet Maddox as he has gone to collect Kameal from the air strip. “Baby, baby, baby” Czarina says as she walks beside her brother. At almost two she is a shining light in our family, always laughing and
LyraGetting to the front steps Maddox places me on the floor before he shifts into Chaos. Even now my big black wolf takes my breath away with his jet black fur that looks so shiny it could be oil. Not to mention his bright blue eyes a shade brighter than Maddox’s usual sapphire coloured eyes. ‘Get on my love’ Comes My Alpha’s voice as he lays lower to the ground so I can get on his back. I had only just climbed on when he took off, making a squeak come from me before I burst out laughing as my mate took off at speed towards the back of our territory towards the cabin that I used to go to when I needed away from my parents. The cabin comes into view and I place a hand over my mouth in surprise, there in the dark covered in fairy lights is what looks like a fairytale cottage. Leaning forward I wrap my arms around Chaos’s neck ‘How did you know, it looks amazing, thank you’ I say as I bury my face in his soft fur.He slows and I slide off his back, and lay my head on his side “It’s be
LyraI have been sitting feeding Aleksei for the past twenty minutes, he just keeps spitting out spit bubbles and looks so cute. This child is a Goddess sent gift as Maddox keeps telling me and anyone who will listen. Carlos stands guard outside. I can hear the steady thrum of his heart, while he waits for me to hand him Aleksei. I have told him many times he is his guard not Nanny but my friend wont have it. He says that there is no need as he has to be there anyway, and if I am honest I prefer and trust him more than anyone else. “Carlos” I called, the door opened and my friend's face appeared. “Is he ready?” I smile at him, “Yes, he most certainly is, and full of beans” I say as I brush my nose off his and he giggles while spitting more bubbles.“I have meetings for the next two hours, then we have the meet and greet for the Nest” I say as I tuck him into his stroller. I try not to laugh as Carlos puts the nappy bag over his shoulder and takes the pushchair. “What?” Carlos asks, lo
LyraStepping off the jet in Russia felt bittersweet, good to be back in the homeland but it no longer felt like home. Aleksei’s first trip to Russia and I know how excited the elders are to meet the future king. Something I have made clear can and will only be happening if my son wishes to take the title. Carlos steps off behind me, proudly holding Aleksei. Two days ago at our ceremony Maddox and I had announced that Carlos was appointed our sons personal guard. *Flashback*I smile at my Alpha as he takes the podium, we had a surprise announcement for the pack. “I know we all want to get on with the celebration, but I have a very important thing to do as one of our pack” Everyone goes quiet with just the slight murmur of those trying to guess what is going on. “My Luna and I have been going over this since our pup was born and we are excited to announce that we have appointed a personal guard for the future heir of the Red Mountain Pack” Maddox looks over at me and holds his hand o
LyraI stand in front of the full length mirror just staring at myself, my mind plays over the last year and the time with Maddox. From the fact we both were determined not to accept each other to being completely obsessed with each other to having our son. Our son, he is perfect from his chubby little cheeks to his big red eyes.Willow took both Aleksei and Kameal out for a walk while I got ready. Today is my Luna ceremony and I can't wait to officially be the Luna. I know it’s just formalities as I already do everything a Luna should. If you asked me a year ago if I would be leading my people I would have laughed. I have never wanted to rule, not to mention lead a pack of wolves but here we are and I would be lying if I said this isn’t where I belong. These people have shown me more love and acceptance than even my own parents. Willow treats us all the same; she has become the mother we never realised we needed. She would have made an amazing Luna, even though she says she is happy
MaddoxLyra has been running on low for a couple of weeks now, she won’t allow anyone except us to watch Aleksei. His aura is extremely strong and can easily affect anyone within his vicinity, especially if he is upset at the time. I am just glad the pup is quite a happy little thing, or we would all be in for a rough ride. I can't help but laugh at this thought. I hope Lyra manages to relax for a while. She really is an amazing Luna, even though she is exhausted she never turns away anyone who needs her, or even just a person to listen to them. Willow has been showing both Lyra and the Doc what their duties are and how the pack has been getting run. Of course Lyra and I have already started to change things especially when it comes to those in charge. The thing with my Queen is she is as deadly as they come but her heart is huge and she feels every single person's emotions. This is exactly why the situation with the Omegas really affected her so much that she sank so much of her mo
LyraAleksei is four months old. I swear he is the best baby, he never cries. Watching Maddox with him makes my heart swell with love. The little King is obsessed with Chaos, as soon as his Father shifts into his black wolf Aleksei gets excited. Watching him pull at Chaos, and the huge wolf looks like he is so in love with our baby. Our commitment ceremony and wedding are being combined, tomorrow is the big day. Kalsea is so excited she has been non stop planning with Evanka and Willow. I have been stuck in my little bubble with Maddox and our son. The love for my boys is at times overwhelming, I haven’t let Aleksei out of my sight. We have been learning as we go with Aleksei, he can feed off both blood and normal food. Maddox said he can feel his wolf spirit, at his age it is unheard of in normal wolf children. His aura is very strong, if he gets upset only Maddox and myself can get near him as his aura is too much for anyone else. Willow has been desperate to take him to give me a
LyraBlissful pain free darkness, where am I? Where is Maddox? As this thought hits me I feel a wave of panic run through me. My baby, is my baby ok? Shit! I need to get back from wherever this is, I need to get to them. Open your eyes Lyra! I scream at myself. It's funny the minute I start to feel parts of my body I know I am on my way back. First the tingling in my hands and feet, then the rest come to life. That’s when I hear him, my Maddox. He’s calling my name, I am calling back to him but nothing is coming out. I hear the pleading in his voice and it breaks my heart. I am coming my love, just hold on. Then the searing pain explodes through me and my eyes fly open.“Baby, your back” Maddox says as he peppers kisses all over my face, before I can answer him another pain knocks the breath right out of me. Sweat runs down my face as I try to gather my thoughts before another scream rips from my throat. “Lyra, Lyra listen to me” Kalsea says cupping my face and all I want to do is bi
LyraEverything has been steady Maddox and I are just back from Russia, it’s the last time I can fly before the little king arrives. The nest has been thriving, we spent a month there making sure everything was set up and ready for Evanka and Kammi to return. The gifts that the clan has been handing in for both Kameal and my pup as Maddox calls him is so heartwarming. There is a more relaxed atmosphere, they have accepted Maddox and that makes me proud of my people. Dollar has been over for quite some time with Demitri and he has been accepted into the clan. My people are doing better unfortunately two of the council men have been removed and replaced, but this is all in the good of our clan moving forward and healing.I am huge, my swollen stomach is bigger than Evanka was when she had Kameal and I still have six weeks left. I love how attentive Maddox has been but it is driving me crazy, I feel smothered. Willow has been amazing. She threw me a baby shower before we left for Russia
