Me and Layla were lying in a mud bath whilst enjoying champagne.Layla covered her eyes with some cucumbers and I could hear her snoring from where I was. I giggled a little at the sight and soon a worker walked in. I held my finger over my mouth, letting her know to be quiet. She took her steps softer before eventually making her way to me.“Master said I must massage your head since you have a lot on your mind” I blushed at the mention of Lucian and the sweet gesture.I untied my hair and laid my head back, preparing myself for the massage.The old lady's eyes glowed green like poison when I looked up at her. Just when I wanted to move my head away, she gripped onto it with so much force her nails began to dig into my scalp. A fiery pain engulfed my body but I was unable to scream. I clenched my eyes so tightly while trying to pry her hands off. Soon I felt someone’s hand slide across my fore arm, making my eyes shoot open.Light swarmed into my eyes, blinding me without mercy.
My mother took my hand and led me to a room with Astraeus close at our heels. When she closed the door, they both hugged me tightly. I was taken aback by the gesture and stood awkwardly between them. I moved my hands up hesitantly to hug them back and just as I did, they both moved back in sync.I looked at them weirdly and both their eyes were filled with awe and love. This was a strange sight to see from two people that were very strong and poised. My mom started to rub my belly and things seemed to get even stranger as her eyes glowed while looking down at my belly. “Is the little one treating you well?”Lucian:I was having one hell of a headache today and even after popping a lot of pain pills, it seemed to be one of stubborn nature refusing with all of its might to go away.I tried my best to listen to both the pack meetings and the business meeting but I found it hard with this throbbing headache. It felt like a cat had sunken its claws into my scalp, refusing to let go. I
Scarlet:My head was spinning at their words and it just felt unbelievable. My jaw hung open and then tried to form words that seemed to not want to come out. “Wait, what do you mean?” I eventually got out and stared at the both of them with a questioning gaze.They looked at each other strangely before looking back at me. “Scarlet, your pregnant”, My mother said, as if it was just common knowledge.I turned around and found a seat nearby, sitting down due to the shock. “Didn’t you know?” Astraeus asked in a caring tone that seemed weird coming from him but still something I could get used to. It seemed like him and his son were worlds apart. While Lucian was warm and friendly, his father was cold and fierce. They both held each aspect of each other to an extent but yet they were their own people and not a copy of one another.“Scarlet?” My mother placed her hand on my knee and crouched down to meet my gaze. I shook my head slowly whilst looking into nothingness.“Don’t you want t
Lucian started looking around, making sure that he was indeed hearing correctly. I giggled a little at the sight of this gorgeous man looking like an unsure boy.“Lucian, I’m pregnant” I said between the laughter. His face was priceless, it was like I was bringing him unbelievably good news.“Shouldn’t you have one of those stick thingies?” I scrunched my brows, wondering what he could possibly be talking about. He then ran out of the room and I looked at Layla, wondering what was happening. She just shrugged her shoulders. I heard the witch giggle as she saw the scene playing before her. In a sudden cloud of smoke she vanished wherever she meant to go.I stood up and started getting out of the mud bath. Just then Lucian came storming in. “Princess no, sit down, you can’t fall from there. Here let me help”He grabbed me and held me in a bridal position, getting mud all over his expensive suit, making me feel guilty. “Lucian your suit”“Princess, I can get this dry clean,. I, howeve
I woke up to the smell of hot chocolate and saw my mother sitting next to me on the couch. I got up quickly and hugged her tightly. “When did you get here” I asked in an over-joyed tone. “Oh honey, me and your father left the moment Lucian gave us a call.” She said whilst handing over a cup of hot chocolate to me.“So then where’s dad?” I asked looking around the room. “Oh he and Lucian are in the lounge". I hoped out of bed and ran to the lounges expecting them to be at each other’s throats.When I entered, I saw two lazy boys pointing at the window. Both of them sitting on their own with a beer in hand. Whilst watching the view of the sun setting over the Los Angeles horizon,“You know Lucian, I'm going to be honest with you. When I met you I thought you were a prick”, my dad said, looking at the view.Lucian's head whipped in the direction of my father with a curious expression.“And why is that Mister Bloodmoon?” “Well, only a prick would show up at a beta-families house in ano
A sudden scream filled the halls, causing me and Lucian to sit up in bed at a fast pace. He jumped up and looked around the hall. I then saw his eyes go cloudy for a moment, meaning that he was mind linking someone. When the color returned to his eyes, the color of his skin faded.“What is it Lucian?” I asked in a panic tone, hearing the screaming voice echo through the halls and pound right on my ear drums. It was a scream of total torture and pain.I was afraid that we were under attack and Lucian's pale face didn’t ease my worries. I stood up and got out of bed, making my way over to Lucian steadily. “What's wrong Lucian”, I asked again, placing my hand on his cheek. It seemed to do the trick and he came back blinking his eyes.“R..Riley is in labor” he stuttered. Her scream echoed down the halls again, bringing a shiver down my spine. Was this what was awaiting me in my near future? I took a deep breath and shook the thought out of my head. “Shouldn’t we take her to the pac
3 Weeks have gone by in what seemed to be a flash.I was out of my 1st trimester and onto the next. My morning sickness, however, didn’t see it that way and seemed to think it should stay for the long haul. I looked at the toilet as it flushed away my breakfast that I had eaten moments before. I’m constantly hungry but unable to keep anything down.Which has become quite depressing. Today we will be going for a sonar.Lucian was so excited watching the time every five minutes, seeing if it was time to go yet.The bathroom door busted open, revealing no other than Lucian with a big happy grin plastered all over his face.“It’s time to go see our little pup” he said, almost jumping up and down with excitement. I couldn’t help but giggle but soon realized that was a terrible idea. I held my hand over my mouth and my cheeks soon blew up. I was about to puke. I once again hung over the toilet getting rid of whatever was left of breakfast. I could feel Lucian rubbing my back the whole t
Scarlett:I sat in my office staring at the boards containing the themes of the gender reveal. I wanted everything to be perfect. I looked over the boards to three anticipating and exciting faces awaiting my answer. Each one of them drew up a board with games and themes.Layla, my mom and Freya all sat with big smiles plastered on their faces and their hands tucked into their laps. Like three little girls awaiting a sweet or a toy. I giggle a little at the sight before me. I shifted my eyes back to the boards, looking carefully over each one.One had a theme of pink or blue.We still love you and all though the idea was cute it felt like something was missing. I placed the board down making the decision not to have that theme. I looked between my two options and stood stuck between the two. Buck or doe? It was cute. It kind of played on our animalistic nature. Then we had a boy or girl can’t wait to sea. With an ocean theme.Little pirates and mermaids and it was absolutely too
18 years later:We danced away under the moonlight after getting away from all the drama, tears and hormones that seemed to flood the pack hall.It was mating ball season again and honestly it was overwhelming each year.So Lucian and I had our own little tradition to escape all the chaos and just enjoy ourselves under the moonlight dancing away all the worries that might have crowded up leading to this massive event. This year had been more stressful than all the years before since we were hosting the mate ball.It was allot of planning and a lot of irritating young she wolves that wanted to convince me about being my sons mate and if not that they would make the perfect Luna for the pack.That they would be the best option. But what had worried me most was the fear of my son experiencing the same thing I experienced the day I thought I met my mate“As per usual the two live birds have sneaked away from the party” I heard Riley’s voice in from behind me. “You’d thought that the hos
− I sat in my room staring at the crib where Xander laid fast asleep. I kept listening to his soft breathing just to make sure he is ok. I heard a sparkling sound and soon the moon goddess appeared next to his crib. Her face was filled with love and care.She put her hand on his cheek and a smile spread across his face. I guess he was dreaming about milk or cuddles since he didn’t know much else.“This is the future rules of mount Olympus and I think that’s you are the perfect mother to raise him. Cherish him. And love him.” She said in a whisper.She then walked over to me and cupped my cheek. “I am proud of you my child you have conquered what others would deem impossible. And you turned out to be a great and strong young Luna.When you lay on your death bed of this life I will come fetch you and your mate to take up your place as the rulers of mount Olympus until Xander breathes his last breath. Until then I will keep your seat nice and warm” She said in a caring tone before kis
Days have passed after Riley’s initiation. She has thanked me more times than what was needed.I still felt a bit awkward as my memories drew back to the time when I wandered her mind. That door of intimacy that I could feel Lucian was a part of.I knew it was something of the past and wouldn’t blame him for what had happened but what would bother me was if he lied about it. He told me nothing ever happened between the two of them.I sat at in the pack cafeteria scanning over the large crowd of my pack members all sitting and chatting as they shove food down to their hungry stomachs.Others cheered as they knocked their beer cans onto one another in celebration.Then I spotted Riley sitting among a bunch of she wolfs al who were in awe of little dawn.Her beauty was definitely something to catch the eyes of all around even at such a young age.I then slowly moved my eyes over to my mate whom was sitting next to me drinking a glass of orange juice.When his eyes met mine he placed his
“What was that all about” I heard that husky handsome voice ask beside my ear, making my legs wobble as his breath touched my neck.“Whatever do you mean Alpha” I said turning to face him keeping eye contact, showing no fear.I could see the lust swimming angrily within his eyes. He straightened out his posture and places his hands behind his back. “Out” he demanded with his alpha aura spreading across the room.Layla and Damian disappeared so quickly out of our sights and in a blink of an eye I heard the elevator doors open and close.A smile grin crept up onto Lucian’s lips. Plaguing them with all the dirty thoughts wondering within his mind as well as mine.He took a step closer to me and at this point I was looking up at him my chin almost touching his chest and my breath heavy just thinking about what may follow.The small distance between us was killing me. It was just enough for us to barely touch but not enough to ease the warmth that lingered between my legs.The warmth that
It’s been days since I’ve gotten out of my own prison. It’s been both heartbreaking and warming at the same time.My mother hasn’t reached out to me yet and although my father has been coming around every day to check up on both me and his grandsons wellbeing my mother hasn’t come at all.My father kept saying that it’s not because she doesn’t love me or care for me but she is mourning.I knew he was right and honestly I loved her and understood where she was coming from. Losing your child at the hands of your other child is hard to wrap your mind around.My pack however congratulated me on defeating our enemy all by myself.I gained a lot of respect from all of the high ranking warriors of our pack including our gamma which in return made me proud of myself too.Although most of it was my wolf without her we would’ve probably still been stuck within a big mess.I blew over my steaming hot coffee looking out over the Los angles view from our living room.I sat snug in my mates lap lea
Scarlet:“Scarlet” I heard my mom’s voice call out to me I lifted my head from my knees and scanned the waters that laid just below my toes. I didn’t see her at all so I just automatically assumed it was in my all in my head.I prepared myself for the next scene of her shouting and screaming at me for killing her only daughter and hating me for it. “Scarlet” I heard her voice once more call out to me. It was soft and gentle. A caring tone filled with worry.“Come back to me, my dear.”I looked down at the water before me and saw her worried face reflecting from it. Her eyes were sad and the bags under them seemed like the same endless darkness that plagued my heart. “It wasn’t your fault dear” Her voice cracked at the word fault. I could only think that she was recalling the moment she saw Saige dead in the woods. “Scarlet darling”My father stepped closer, placing his arm around my mother’s waist pulling her into his chest whilst she wept.A tear streamed down my cheek filled w
Lucian:I stood in front of the door thinking everything over in my head wondering what to do in this situation.Maybe I should get help what if they refuse to help Scarlet. Have they already decided to abandon her?Maybe it’s too early… they are still mourning the death of one daughter I can’t just throw this news at them and expect them to take the news well or be efficient at bringing her back.Although in my opinion its way overdue she’s been away from me for far too long. Suddenly I felt a pat on my back and shot my head to see whomever it came from.An arrogant smile stared back at me his eyes icy blue eyes somehow felt warmer and then I realized his canines were back.The two empty spaces that were so prominent and a soothing sight to me had been filled up.A shiver went down my spine. Oh for goddess sake. You know what moon goddess you’ll owe me after I save your daughter and I think a break will be the least you could do.I sighed as the memories replayed in my mind.“Please
I watched as my daughter single-handedly disarmed and dismembered the guards that were sent to attack her.Aiden became more furious as the number of guards went down. He started pushing guards out of his way.When he came face to face with Scarlet whose chest was moving up and down from her heavy breathing.They stared at one another and the hatred for each other rolled off their aura in waves. The tension was high.“I guess I’ve got to deal with the trash on my own” Aiden said and scarlet growled into his face with her canines inches from his nose.Aiden’s eyes grew green as he summoned vines from the ground tying off Scarlets feet.She tried to claw her way out but it was all in vain. I took a step forward and suddenly felt an hand grip my wrist.I tried to loosen myself from the iron grip but when I realized it wasn’t going to happen I turned to see Astraeus shaking his head.“This has to happen Selene you cannot intervene”“Astraeus she’s alone and within her late stages of pregn
Scarlet:I laid in the middle of a pool filled with dark liquid. I sat in the on a stone and looked over the dark waters trying to see something or anything a place to swim to.But instead I just saw the never ending dark liquid vanishing into more darkness. I sat on this rock looking at the name engraved on to it with quilt swallowing me up whole.“Saige”. It read in cursive. I kept remembering the heart wrenching howl of my mother when she realized Saige was dead.As well as the agony that fell among her face.I hated myself for doing that to her. Removing her first and only born daughter. I thought about myself and how I would’ve felt.I would’ve hated the person that took my son from me. And I could only assume that she felt the same.And honestly I don’t blame her. I felt guilt for placing her in that position not for killing Saige and not for protecting my unborn child.I was still sad about her death and I did love her even though I didn’t want to. My emotions where conflicting
