Leora Montgomery’s pov

Towel-drying my hair, I put on the borrowed tee, strapped on my knife belt, and exited the bathroom to see Gideon spreading a blanket out on the floor at the side of the bed.

“The couch would be more comfortable than the floor,” I commented, catching his attention.

“I'm too large for it, so I am opting for the floor,” he answered me as I eyed him in disbelief.

“You can use the bed then and I will sleep on the sofa since I am much smaller,” I offered and saw him frown.

Shaking his head he huffed and pointed to the bed and asserted, “You will have the bed, Leora. I may be a cold-hearted assassin, but I'm not an asshole.”

Shrugging, I told him that I was just concerned about his old body lying on the hard floor, then snickered at the look he was giving me.

“I'm in prime condition, princess,” he muttered sourly, and I nodded and said, “Of course you are, sir.”

“It's late, so go on and get to bed, we have training to do tomorrow,” he exhaled deeply, a

    Athena Montgomery's pov Sitting at the kitchen table, I noticed that my arm hairs had sprung up in warning, and I narrowed my eyes. My first thought was my daughter, and I quickly rose and told Gavin that Leora was in trouble as I ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Going straight to her bedroom, the door flung open, and Gideon stepped out. I could tell by the look on his face that my child had been taken. “Why didn't you stop him?!” I screamed at him. “I couldn't! I'm not the one who has to end him. It's Leora’s destiny, not mine,” he said roughly and shoved past me. Turning toward him I huffed. “You're HER mate! Not Aspen!” I shouted out at him and watched his shoulders stiffen as he turned and glared at me. “None of this would have happened if you'd taken the warnings you were given to heart and not pissed off the High King,” he growled. Taken aback I gasped at his words. Was I the one responsible for all of this?! My bottom lip trembled as I spoke my next words, “

    Leora Montgomery's pov Aspen soon stopped his laughter and gave me a look of disgust. Gesturing with his hand at my person he growled, “You're absolutely gorgeous but are hideous in what you are wearing.” “It's what I slept in; you kidnapped me before I had the chance to change,” I replied, but he ignored me as he shouted out for a guard. The door opened, and a huge man entered, and his eyes landed on me and grew wide. “Stop eyeing my female and fetch one of the court Ladies in waiting. I need one to get here and fix her,” Aspen ordered as he waved circles around me. “Have them bring her different gowns. I can't have her looking like a serf in my home,” he added. Nodding the guard glanced at me once more before quickly leaving us. My eyes fell as I gritted my molars. The king just paced around his room, stopping at a full-length mirror to admire his reflection. I caught him watching me standing there and turned my eyes away to study the room he had brought me. “It'

    Leora Montgomery's pov “Hello once again.” I turned to see the servant Brandy and smiled. “Are you going to be my lady in waiting,” I asked her and she nodded. “I'd be honored if you want me to take the position,” she said softly and I nodded and told her certainly. Beaming, she looked happy and relaxed when I told her that she could just call me Leora. “Sorry for leaving you with Mister Fussy Pants,” she sighed, and I dismissed it with a wave. “That pervert is no longer anyone's concern. Ah, would you show me around this huge place?” “Yes, I would be delighted to,” she replied with a grin and gestured for me to follow after her. She pointed out across a field and told me that was where airplanes and helicopters landed then she took me to the back to show me the gardens that were like a labyrinth. “I'm surprised that there's something beautiful here,” I mumbled softly and she smirked. “His excellence insisted that he be surrounded by the most eye-catching items

    Leora Montgomery's pov “Are there others that are aware of his past,” I asked Ivory, and she told me that only the older centenarians do, but they have been warned by Gideon not to mention it to others or die. Inhaling deeply, I felt that I must be the one who would break through the walls he had built up around his heart. It was obvious that he was a caring individual but it only reached a certain level. “I will pole vault over his walls and capture his heart,” I asserted and grinned slightly at myself. Seeing Gideon returning back inside and looking gloomy I narrowed my eyes. “What has crept up your butt, Mr Landers?” He glared at me and growled, “Call me by my given name and nothing is going on within my ass.” Hissing, I shook my head and asserted, “Cheer up, buttercup, so I can introduce you to your assistant.” His mouth turned up slightly at the corner and he nodded. “Come along, my king; I was shown your shared office and know the way,” I said chipperly and offered him

    Leora Montgomery's pov After getting all the information for the invitations to Calvin, I felt hungry and suggested that we head to the kitchen, seeing the time on the clock on the wall. “Breakfast is served every day at nine. So we better go and eat,” I commented. Nodding, Calvin thanked us both and waved us off, letting Gideon know that he would handle everything for us until we got adjusted. Standing there waiting for me to move, Gideon said teasingly, “ Lead the way since you have a mind map.” “You could just follow the scent of food, sir,” I responded and he told me that was no fun. We reached the dining room and I was surprised by the buffet that was set up. Spotting a few of the upper staff serving themselves I called Brandy over after seeing her. “This is my mate and my King,” I told her. Her eyes widened at Gideon and me. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir. You both should grab a plate and enjoy your breakfast; I will be with the staff,” she said kindly and

    Leora Montgomery's pov In my disappointed state, I was startled by Brandy approaching me with a flamboyant male by her side. “Leora, this is Pierre, and he needs to measure you for your coronation gown,” she said, then leaned toward my ear and softly added, “He is the seamstress of the estate and bats for the opposite team. If you catch my meaning.” Grinning slightly I side-eyed her and said sarcastically, "I never would have guessed.” Crossing his arms Pierre snubbed my comment and said, “We must hurry up so I can have your masterpiece finished in time, Your Excellence.” “Please call me Leora and where do you want me to go, Sir,” I asserted. Scoffing he waved his arms around. “To your suite, of course, Egads! I can't get your measurements done outdoors,” he scolded me. Rolling my eyes I told him let's go and walked past them as I entered the side door. Brandy shouted that she had to help with dinner prep, and Pierre said he would meet me in my room with his sewing i

    Leora Montgomery's pov “Please forgive me for hurting you, Leora. I lost myself and feel terrible,” he murmured and I squeezed him. “I hope that you know that I can feel what you're feeling through our mate connection,” I replied carefully, then added, “I knew what to expect. With you being half-vampire, I figured it would have been rougher. “ Eyeing me incredulously, he started to chuckle, and I could feel him inside me still. “How is that possible?” I huffed and he grinned. “I have only just begun,” he said with a smirk and I shook my head. “I don't think I can handle mating anymore right now but I probably will later,” I giggled and felt him once again inside of me. He sighed and pulled out a little, then pushed himself back in, and my eyes widened as I bit my lip. “It feels so good. You fit me like a glove, sweetheart, but I understand that you need to recuperate, so how about I carry you to the ensuite, and we get ourselves cleaned up,” he suggested. Nodding sl

    Leora Montgomery's pov “Okay,” I answered while I squeezed the small painting in my hand. Concentrating on my suite I felt an odd tug and felt a whoosh of air. Feeling weightless I soon was standing on solid ground and opened my eyes to see my bedroom. “That was so cool!” I chuckled and went to my dresser to stash the painting in the top drawer underneath the black t-shirt I used for pajamas. Sensing a shift in the air I turned to see Gideon standing there with a grin on his face. “You have the gift, are you queasy at all?” Shaking my head I told him that it was exhilarating and easy peasy. My eyebrow raised watching him select a t-shirt from his pile and slip it over his head. His muscles rippled down his abdomen and my lip curled up in appreciation. Peeking over at me, he chuckled and asked if I was ready to go to my parent's house as he shimmied on a pair of faded blue jeans. After putting on his socks and boots he glanced over at me with the hair clip that was left o

    Athena Montgomery’s pov “Mom, Styx wants to be alone with Remy and prepare her for the fire,” Leora said calmly. Raising my red and raw eyes I saw Styx. He looked devastated and just lowered his eyes from mine and stepped past me to reach Remy. “She loved you so much, Athena. I hope you know that,” he said firmly as he looked down at his mate and started to sob. I had to leave the room seeing him breaking down was too much. Going to Leora, I asked her if the pup was doing well, and she nodded. “Gideon is bringing father and should be here momentarily,” she added as she softly patted my back. We headed to the waiting room in the front of the infirmary and I saw Devin sitting down and looking lost. Going to him I asked him if he was alright. Glancing up at me, he exhaled deeply and said, “My mom told me what was going on, so I knew in advance, but it still is painful and will be hard on my dad.” I hugged him and told him that I understood and he sniffled before hugging me tigh

    Athena Montgomery’s pov Three days! It took us three entire days to finally make it to the mountain retreat or our new home. I was soaking in the hot spring and spouting off about my deep love for my wonderful mate while Gavin just chuckled sprawled out nude on the bed. “What do you want to do today?” He asked me as he peeked down his bare chest at me. Resting my head back, I sighed,” I don't know, dear; I'm really digging this retirement at the moment and can't think.” “Don't soak for too long, Remy is visiting today,” he reminded me. Giving him a pout I growled sourly that we had only been there for a few days. “She's close to giving birth. Shouldn't she stay home in case she goes into labor, ” I muttered. “She loves her mother who is exactly like her,” he replied while I watched him get dressed. “If she was like me she would know not to bother us for a while so we can settle in,” I muttered softly, enjoying my muscles getting relaxed by the hot water. “Well, I w

    Athena Montgomery’s pov Remy apologized for snapping at me and I told her that I accepted because she was pregnant and being an overly emotional bitch. She laughed while flipping me off, and I giggled because she was so much like me. They left with Devin to go home and Gavin’s parents retired to their bedroom soon after dinner. Gavin figured they were chasing each other naked around the bed and I cringed. I volunteered to help Henry wash dishes and she told me how happy she was that Gavin and I were going to retire. She paused suddenly and asked me if Azel was also the King. Shrugging, I told her that Gavin hadn't announced that yet, so I wasn't sure. “Gavin will probably just keep the title until he dies of old age,” she said with a chuckle. I giggled and dried the last plate. “Thanks for letting me help. It keeps my mind from worrying about Sabrina and Anton,” I explained, and she gave me a sympathetic smile. “I'm sure Anton will save the young female. He is in love with h

    Athena Montgomery’s pov The baby girl was absolutely gorgeous and looked like her mother with blonde hair and big blue eyes. Sitting on the couch and holding Bailey I felt devastated for not getting the chance to raise my own girls. It still hurts that I didn't get to watch them grow from infancy. Tearing up I gazed at Linda while wiping my damp eyes. “You are blessed, Linda. Enjoy your time raising her,” I said softly and she nodded. Azel came to take Bailey from me, and I bit my lip, watching him behaving so carefully with her. “He's going to be a great dad,” Remy commented and I nodded. “I'm surprised by him and extremely pleased that he has matured so much since finding his mate,” I mumbled softly. Gavin’s mother was still chatting with Leora and Gideon with Henry, her husband giving Gideon a sympathetic stare over his wife’s obnoxious behavior. Josephine Montgomery completely ignored Linda and the pup, making me glare at her across the room. “She's got some nerve,” I com

    Athena Montgomery’s pov Several weeks passed, and our beautiful daughter, Leora, the high queen, had come to our pack to get her son. When she and Gideon arrived, Gavin and I were excited to see that she was already showing with either a prince or princess. “You look well-loved, sweetie,” I teased her, and she blushed prettily. “Gideon is a very good mate and took me to his ancestral lands in Ireland. It was very green,” Leora stated. “We met with the King's there, and they gave us a banquet,” Gideon chuckled, and I noticed that my daughter looked uncomfortable. Her face has grown pale. She leaned in toward me and whispered, “They had an entire stag on a spit that they tore meat from. It still had hair on some parts.” Snickering, I explained that some packs still prepared meals for the entire pack that way, and she shuddered. “Well I apparently have become more refined,” she muttered. “You were experiencing morning sickness from the pup. If you weren't in your condition, I do

    Athena Montgomery's pov Sitting on the back porch, I was watching Anton with my grandsons, Ciaran and Devin, play sword fighting and attempt to give them pointers. He was failing miserably and making me chuckle. My grandsons had inherited their grandmother's disposition and it tickled me immensely. Sabrina, Hazel's daughter, was with me, and also Linda, who was heavily pregnant with my next grandbaby. “So when is the high King and Queen returning from their overseas trip,” Sabrina inquired and I shrugged. “I told them to take as much time as they liked. I have enjoyed this time raising the young ones,” I responded with a grin. “You have Remy’s boy too? Where is she at?” “Her and Styx are off having a couple's getaway, and she will most likely return with another grandchild for our Luna,” Linda chuckled, and I nodded in agreement. “Hopefully, a little girl,” I mumbled softly, and Linda rubbed her baby bump. “I'm hoping for that as well so I can create frilly little dr

    Leora Montgomery's pov Straining to push out my son, I grasped Gideon's hand and screamed as I bore down. After several attempts, I felt the pup exit along with the placenta and waited for his cries but was met with gasps of concern. Gideon stood and growled sternly as he left my side and went to see what was wrong. Tears fell from my eyes as I stammered asking what was wrong. “The pup is blue and not getting oxygen by breathing!” Remy asserted as Gideon lifted the infant and started digging the mucus from his mouth. “Give me the suction apparatus,” he shouted out. I watched through my panic as he sucked out our child’s nostrils and rubbed against the child’s tawny back skin. Seeing the fear in Gideon’s eyes I cried out for him to save our son. “I will,” he snapped and cradled the pup. Inserting his fangs into the pup's shoulder, the child let out a menacing growl, causing me to gasp. Retracting his teeth Gideon smiled widely and looked at me. “He was being a stubborn litt

    Leora Montgomery's pov My hair was lovely. Remy had outdone herself as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Linda had returned to inform us that they were going to wed Gideon and me first, then crown us. “Who are they?” I asked her curiously. Grinning slightly she said, “A Moon Council member has come to officiate the wedding and is an acquaintance of your King.” Creasing my brow, Ivory chuckled and informed me that it was Cedric Phillips.” My eyes widened at the mention of that lighthearted old werewolf. “That's hilarious that he's officiating our nuptials. He's a silly character, I met him when I was first at the council but briefly,” I giggled. “Here is something blue!” Linda stated as she handed me a small pale blue handkerchief. “I don't have a bouquet,” I mumbled softly and my mom lifted her hand from behind her back and presented a lovely cluster of pink roses and baby's breath. “Where did you find these?” Grinning slightly, she informed me that my la

    Leora Montgomery's pov Pacing my bedroom, I kept squeezing my hands periodically and chewing on my bottom lip, not wanting to deal with all of the royals that had been willingly invited into my home. “You should at least make a presence before the crowning as you are the natural-born high queen,” Gideon said with a grin. Shaking my head I told him that he was doing just fine on his own and he was just as important as I was. “You're my mate Gideon so all that natural born bologna is nonsense. I just don't want to be judged by a bunch of uppity snobbish wolves. Plus I was enjoying our solitude,” I asserted. Coming to my side he hugged me tightly and said, “They are all going to admire and love you like I do and will leave tomorrow.” Scrunching my face I side-eyed him and growled, “I don't want them to love me like you do, Gideon! And they can leave NOW!” Rolling his eyes he chuckled and explained that he didn't mean love in that sense and that I just needed to deal with th
