(Morrigan’s P.O.V) After walking upstairs to our bedroom, I close the door and sit on the bed to call Lysander. The phone rings twice before he answers. “Hey Morrigan, I’m surprised you’re calling me. You just left! I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to your leaving feast, I had business to take care of in Khisfire.” “Hey L, it’s okay though you did miss one hell of a show.” “Yeah, your sister told me about that. I’m going to be speaking with your father about it here in the next day or so when I get back to Eferhile.” “Well, I wanted to speak to you about it because I noticed something funny during the incident. The fog that was created wasn't Fae magic. It was magic from your kingdom. Do you know of any dark spell casters or anything similar happening in Khisfire?” Lysander pauses for a minute to think. “What did the fog smell like? Or did it even have a smell?” “It didn’t have a smell at all, at least that I could tell.” “What color was it?” “Umm purple.”
(Rian’s P.O.V) After cleaning the kitchen and thinking over this new power that Morrigan has and how it is detrimental to mine and Stark’s overall well-being, I went up to our room to apologize, only to find that my mate wasn’t there. I started to panic, searching through the whole house in case she decided to wander around. I mean our house is pretty big and she’s only really been to our bedroom and the kitchen. After looking throughout the house and coming up empty, dread and fear began to swirl around with the panic I was already feeling. Warriors, your Luna is missing. Find her. Um, Alpha. How can we find someone we have never met, let alone seen? Oh yeah, we were busy “playing” this morning and missed our breakfast announcement. She’s petite, curvy, red hair with green eyes. She’s wearing Converse, skinny jeans, and a black V-neck tee. Find her! Yes, Alpha! With that, I cut the link and Stark takes over so we can join the search for our mate
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) As we were walking back to the house a sudden wave of heat washed over me and my skin began to tingle. Suddenly everything went black, and I felt like I was being shot forward in time. (Vision) “There’s seriously a fucking prophecy about this mutt?! I thought you said there wasn’t anything mentioning a tribrid?!” “Well, I’m sorry Calida but this prophecy was made over a thousand years ago and was one of the last ever made by the Oracle of Alynthi. So, excuse me for not knowing that it existed.” “This means that everything is going to go to shit if she mates and marks that fucking Alpha dog Beatrix! How are we supposed to proceed?!” “Not my problem. We’ve done our part, now it’s up to you. We have moles all over the kingdom thanks to our foresight fog, now it’s your job to figure out the next steps in this plan.”
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) After dinner was finished, Rian and I walked back to the house in comfortable silence. I never understood people who felt the need to constantly talk, I think there’s something to be said for enjoying the silence with one’s person. When we walked in the house, we went straight upstairs, and my pussy clenched because I KNEW that there was going to be a “funishment” for my little disappearing act this morning. I know he understood that I didn’t mean for it to happen, but that doesn’t mean I won’t get punished for making him freak the fuck out. Oh, the anticipation is killing me!!! “Well little mate, are you ready for your punishment for disappearing this morning?” See? Told you. I could almost squeal in excitement. “No, I don’t see why I need to be punished. I didn’t mean to teleport.” I retort, trying
(Rian’s P.O.V) As Stark pumps our seed into our mate, we notice that she’s completely limp. Umm, Stark. I think she blacked out. Oh shit, I didn’t mean to do that. How do we wake her up? How about we wait to wake her up AFTER we get her out of the ropes. His and my worry combine in a swirl as I cut Morrigan out of her restraints, making sure to be gentle catching her. I place her on the bed and start massaging her limbs to make sure that they aren’t sore after our shibari play. I hear light snores coming from her as I begin to untie the ropes from the suspension rings. Once done, I throw out the cut ropes and go to the mini-fridge to grab Morrigan some water and food for when she wakes up. I lay down next to her and pull her close to my chest and just enjoy our closeness. She begins to stir after a few minutes and opens her eyes. I'm instantly lost in their emerald green color—I could get lost in her eyes forever. “You okay baby? I have some food and water r
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) It was a nice surprise to see Vladimir at the borders of Alynthi and Máni, and I was even more surprised to learn that he was King Cerberus’s nephew! Once we’ve pulled up to the castle and Rian had been a complete moron, Cerberus escorts me into the castle with Rian, Cormac, and Vladimir trailing behind. “This castle has over 250 rooms that house vampires who are newborns, turned in the human realm and those who have not yet met their beloveds.” “Are your beloved’s the same as mates?” “Yes, Luna Morrigan, they are. They are the only ones that we can have children with. We cannot procreate with any other vampire, werewolf, elf, human et Cetra. Only our beloveds can produce our offspring.” “Huh, well I suppose that makes sense. Have you found your beloved King Cerberus?” “Please, just call me Cerberus my dear. Yes, I found her a long time ago, however;
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) After what felt like a million hours of searching, Vladimir shouts with excitement capturing my attention from the scroll I was looking at. “Mo! I found it! I think I finally found it!” He exclaims, sliding over to me. Putting the scroll in front of me I read the prophecy out loud: When the Winter Solstice Princess has completed 20 cycles around the sun, a great threat will bear down upon the realm. This Solstice Princess will have powers to stop the threat, being of three equal species: a wolf, an elf, and a spell caster. The Solstice Princess will come into her powers after meeting her beloved and marking them as her own. The tipping of the scales will be in favor of the Solstice Princess, with ice in her heart for those who would harm her loved ones, she will cover the corpses of her enemies in
(Rian’s P.O.V) I could tell this prophecy was weighing heavily on Morrigan’s mind and I knew she needed reassurance about all of this. As confident as she can be, I know there is a portion of her that doubts her abilities. I’m hopeful that Lysander and King Alstin will be able to help her with both her powers and her confidence in them. I don’t like seeing my mate doubting herself so badly. We get back to the house where Cormac says his goodbyes and goodnights to both Morrigan and me. We walk into the house and up to our bedroom, it had been a long day so all we wanted to do was collapse into bed and sleep. Killian, please make sure that we have one of the best female warriors prepared to train with Morrigan the day after tomorrow. I want to test her fighting in human form before we get started training her in wolf-form. Yes, Alpha. I will make sure that Kalie is prepared.
(Euan’s P.O.V) 18 years later (cont’d) I woke up this morning, happy to have my wolf even though we weren’t going to be able to shift until next week on the full moon. After having breakfast with my family, I wanted to go and visit my grandparents and as I was walking to their house, passing Beta Killian’s place I picked up the soft scent of roses and sweet orange. My wolf, Dakota, shakes out his fur and starts purring at the smell. Mmm, that’s our mate. That was our mate’s scent? Killian only has one daughter, my best friend Juniper, or Junie as she likes to be called. Fuck, we can’t tell her. She’s only 16 and it’s against our laws for wolves of age to tell their mate about the bond if they are underage. Doesn’t mean we can’t sneak in and sniff her a bit. Seriously? What is wrong with you? Absolutely nothing. I’m enjoying her smell. I shake my head at my wolf, and it takes all of my will power to continue on to my grandparents’ house. “Ha
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) 18 years later Euan was turning eighteen today and gaining his wolf, however, he won’t shift for another week since that’s when the next full moon is. These past 18 years have passed by in peace for our kingdoms as well as the other kingdoms of the Lunar Realm. Euan has long since become an older brother to 6 other siblings: the twins Flynn and Rory—both 16, Ronan who is 14, then the next set of twins (both girls) Rowan and Bridget both 12, and then our surprise baby girl Fallon who turned 10 a few months back. Rian wanted to have all boys first before we had girls, he understood that we couldn’t exactly make sure that happened but by the powers of the Goddess Danu, he got what he wanted. All our boys came out quiet, observant, and big—each boy weighed in at almost 10 pounds and each was 22 inches long. The girls were taking after me it seemed, petite, loud, and complete daddy’s girls. They had Rian wrapped around their little fingers even if he didn’t
(Rian’s P.O.V) 2 months later “Rian!!!!” Morrigan yells. I was in my office, having just gotten off the phone with Alpha Tiernan from Hallowed Manes Pack in the Human Realm when Morrigan comes tearing into my office. She braces her hand on the door frame to catch her breath, so I take this opportunity to scold her before she can speak. “You ran down here Morrigan? We’ve discussed this! You’re pregnant! You can’t be running or overexerting yourself like this! It’s not good for you or the baby.” I admonish while guiding her over to the sofa I had added to my office. “I know, I know. But I heard the conversation between you and that Alpha! I want to escort this FBI agent to Eferhile! I want to see mom, Bayard, and Constance! Please mo rí?” She asks, giving me her best “puppy dog” eyes. I groan, knowing I’m not going to be able to deny her because she’ll cry if I tell her no, and then I’ll feel like a dick. “Alright, but either Cormac or Killian goes with you
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) I had been feeling off-color for a while now, but with everything that had been going on over the last few months, I thought it was stress. Until the vomiting started, thank the Goddess Danu above that I was able to conveniently hide my toilet bowl worship from Rian. I decide that it’s time to go see Dr. Wyatt, one of our pack doctors so I enlist my mother and Roisin to come with me on the off chance something happens. The nurse welcomes me back with an awkward curtsey to which I visibly cringed. “That bad huh?” She giggles. “The worst, but please I’m not expecting everyone to bow and curtsey to me. Literally, nothing changes but the titles and the meaning behind them. So please, don’t EVER do that again.” I say laughing. She laughs, and hands me a cup to pee in before I meet with Dr. Wyatt, she walks off with my mother and Roisin to get them set up in the doctor’s office. After pissing all over my hand—then subsequently washing my hands
(Rian’s P.O.V) After returning to the grand ballroom for the reception, I realized I hadn’t removed Morrigan’s butt plug. I couldn’t help the mischievous giggle that bubbled over, making her look at me with eyebrows raised, making me shake my head in response. So here she was, walking around the reception with her jeweled butt plug still in her tight little ass. We’re so fucking her in the ass later. She’ll be nice and ready for us. Yup, now if only this party would hurry up and be over with. Morrigan and I were talking to the Alpha couple of a nearby bear sleuth, when Morrigan’s hand tightened on mine and I could feel her anger and embarrassment. Should have kept my mouth shut huh? Yes, you should have Stark. Now see if she gives us her ass now. I grumble, feeling disgruntled. You can have my ass any way you want it, baby, just gotta ask. Morrigan purrs in our mind link. Okay, then I want it now. Bend over that table like a good girl. I purr back at her
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) Standing there after basically going all Warrior Goddess on the crowd, we continued with the ceremony. Killian gave Rian my biological mother’s crown, which was a Baroque black diamond tiara, giving off Gothic vibes for sure. In the middle of the crown was the face of a wolf, with two rubies for eyes. It was truly a work of art, and I was so lucky that it was able to be saved. I bowed in front of Rian, so he could put the crown on my head, and once that was done, I stood up straight. Throwing my shoulders back and lifting my chin up, wanting to show the shifter kingdom that I was strong, fierce, and not to be fucked with. “I present to you all, Her Majesty, Luna Queen Morrigan Faith O’Connor!” Rian booms out. I turn my head sharply to him, confused as to why he used his last name to find him on one knee next to me, with a beautiful princess-cut diamond ring nestled in a ring box. “Over the last two and a half months, you have given my lif
(Rian’s P.O.V) It’s the day of Morrigan’s Luna Ceremony, and we are all a bundle of nerves right now because before the ceremony takes place, we will be announcing our plans. I had my speech prepared and I kept going over it, trying to commit it to memory, and I played the “what if” game and wrote down answers to questions or comments about our intention to reinstate the monarchy and crown Morrigan Luna Queen. Leland had been able to smuggle one of Queen Amelie’s crowns out of the palace before it burned down, so we would be able to crown her with that. Servants were bustling around the packhouse, getting things ready for the arrival of several of the royal families: King Alstin was coming in along with King Emeritus Albrun since Queen Aubriana and Celestia were already here, King Cerberus was joining us, Queen Lucia and King Osiris of Khisfire. They were going to be showing their support for the restoration of the shifter monarchy. It was being decorated in ou
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) It’s been a few days since the funeral, and we were back in Màni getting ready to go shopping for my Luna Ceremony. The kingdom didn’t know this, but we were going to announce who my biological parents were and that I was ascending to the throne. Rian and the entirety of my mother’s family were concerned with how the announcement will be received by the shifter kingdom. We knew most of them would be fine with the change, however, we knew that my father’s dead cousin still had his supporters out there. Uncle Leland and his mate, Tàri, were going to be in attendance as well as their grown pups and grandpups. I would be meeting all of them for the first time. He was excited to know that I was going to be taking up the mantle of Luna Queen and I offered him and Tàri a nice sized mansion in the pack so they could be close since the cat was going to be out of the bag, so to speak, that members of the royal family had survived. I was sitting in th
(Rian’s P.O.V) It was the day of the funerals for our warriors and for King Leonard, it was decided that Leonard’s body would be the last pyre lit. While a King’s pyre should always be lit first, as a symbol of him guiding his warriors to Annwn (or the Underworld), however, his family agreed that Leonard would want his warriors and those who fought alongside his warriors, to have the honored spot. “It’s time to go mo grà,” I whisper to Morrigan. She’s been quiet this morning, just going through the motions of the day. I know that her dream meeting with her biological parents and Leonard helped with how she had been feeling about the whole situation. She looks beautiful in her black, long, full-sleeved jumpsuit with a medium plunge, and a belt cinching her waist. Her beautiful fiery hair was pulled up into a sophisticated bun, leaving a few wisps of hair surrounding her face. Her make-up was done in neutral tones, and she kept it simple. Her black stilettos fi
