Anastasia finally plucked up the courage to go to the nurseries to check them out. Julia was accompanying her again. They set out a list of everything that needed to be checked out in the nursery and left early in the morning to try and get through two of the three. This was a job that someone else would usually do and just report back to him, but it was advised that she should do it to gain experience and let people know her around the pack.It was one of the five in the pack, each of them pretty big with multiple classrooms for different ages. When she walked towards the door, she realized that it was as big as the normal school in her old pack. That was a lot of tiny pups. Only a small handful of pups were in that early, no career in sight when they entered. The pups all stared at them when they went into the playroom, eyeing Anastasia with wonder."Hello pups," Julia said enthusiastically, "this your new Luna." Anastasia smiled at them all, they all looked so cute."Your hair looks
As they rode by horse to the third nursery, Anastasia observed the small buildings being built, each with two apartments in. Her arrival to the pack as well as the annual celebrations meant that more people migrated into this pack, choosing to live here instead. The pack was always keen on having new members so small houses were built and sold off to them.The houses were basic but had everything necessary in them, the residents could expand their house or move into somewhere else when they gained the money.There was an entry process to get into the pack which was mainly checking that there were jobs that the person could get and if they were a threat, as well as a documentation written for them. It usually took two days to process. Anastasia skipped it entirely because she was discovered to be their mate way before she even thought about joining.The last nursery they went to needed new fireplaces and some roof repairs. Anastasia was so excited to start getting reparations done.Wat
“My love, you should go,” Anastasia spoke up, shocking both of her mates.“Why? I refuse to leave,” The alpha was not looking happy at all, she rubbed circles onto his hand and tried to calm him down.“You should, this isn't about me this is about the pack. You shouldn't be selfish and instead, care for the citizens. I will still be here after 5 days.”“I don't want to leave you after finally finding you,” he replied lowly so only Anastasia could hear."And you won't," Anastasia said with certainty, she could see the alphas resolve to crack as she spoke. "How about the next three days I spend it with you and you only to compensate for the five days you won't see me. We can do everything together."Leo nodded at that,” I'm fine with not being with Anastasia for that time.”Logan pondered for a second before he caved, Anastasia smiling at him as a response. The looks of gratitude that the ministers gave her was satisfying. It wasn't anything big that she had done but it still helped out
“What?” Anastasia asked, tilting her head up eagerly. She wanted his alpha to leave happy and was ready to please, feeling so horny now.Logan slipped out of his pants, wordlessly letting his cock spring free and bounce up. Anastasia widened her eyes at the sheer size of it, she could never get used to seeing it. One day that would be inside of her, and it would grow even bigger. The thought made him excited. Logan languidly stroked himself a few times, looking down at him with unconcealed lust“I think you should know what to do baby,'' Logan said, placing her hand around him. “Do what you do baby, make me feel good.”Anastasia lay on her stomach instead, grabbing the member with both hands and using the precum as lube. She stroked the alpha, anxiously looking up every so often to make sure she was doing good.“What a good omega, so eager to please,” Logan said . “How lucky I’m so lucky.”One of the alpha's hands was covering her hands, guiding her and teaching her what to do. Alp
“So tell me how did you cry so much?”“Onions,” Anastasia stated simply. “My saliva is also a faster healer, faster than yours, but I discovered ages ago that tears repair the skin almost instantly. I think it's because it's harder to produce. But I could make myself sad so I had to use my fake tears that don't work as fast, but still faster than my saliva.”Leo nodded along. “Very interesting. What else have you discovered then.”“That thing about my hair, but I haven't tried it out yet,” Anastasia frowned, “it mentioned somewhere that if I am an omega my heats are special. It didn't explain how though.”“We still have 2 weeks before we find out how though,” Leo murmured, then smirked at her cockily. “I can't wait.”Anastasia laughed and rolled her eyes fondly. “Oh, I know you do. I also found out that I will age slowly, my hair will never grey and that the chances of me birthing more than one pup are high.”That made Leo stop walking momentarily. “So twins?” He asked. “That would
Anastasia thought about what happened that night as she relaxed in the garden, experimenting with the paints she got as Julia read over all the books they found about pure whites.“I think Logan burnt your hair, maybe that's why you felt him,” Julia suggested.“Yeah that sounds realistic, but I'm confused on how it works,” Anastasia muttered. “ All the book said was to burn the hair, do you see the vision in the flame? I gave him the most basic information and just told him to experiment, it seems like he figured it out on his own.”“Get Leo to burn your hair, or as Logan when he comes back,” the beta replied.“I'll ask him tonight, what else have you found?” Anastasia deflected the topic. It was annoying her a little how nobody knew that much about people like her but they were so highly regarded.“They mostly say that you are blessed by the moon and have everything the moon represents. You are a beacon of light in the darkness, fertility, immortality, purity, guidance.”Anastasi
Could we go to the rest of the nurseries tomorrow?" Anastasia asked Julia when they passed each other. "Oh, there's no need," she said, smiling at the omega. "Why." "I already went when I had some free time. You were busy with all that paperwork so I decided to do you a favor . We still have to check out the two big schools though." Out of all the work Anastasia was swamped with, visiting the nurseries had been her most anticipated because she could interact with more pack members. Right now she only knew the people who worked in the compound and some people who popped in now and then. The beta at the nursery was a part-time worker. Thankfully, she didn't like that beta at all. The nursery work let her escape the office room. Still, Julia did her a big favor that she had no reason to do. All she was supposed to do was take care of Anastasia's personal needs and anything else. Yet she still helped her out when she didn't need to. "Thank you," Anastasia said, hugging the beta. "Should w
They both maintained eye contact as Leo got her to fully remove her lips till the tip, then sinking completely down. The pace was moderate as they carried this on. Soon, the thrusts became shallower and Anastasia felt the stretch increase, she whined as she felt a knot at the base, causing Leo to swear at the vibration and pick up more speed. The omega forced her teary eyes to stay open, wanting to see the alpha release into her mouth.Anastasia 's orgasm came up, nowhere near as strong as it was when the alphas touched her but enough to leave her moaning more, mouth completely slack and eyes closed as she felt Leo grow even bigger from the feeling.Leo closed his eyes tightly as he fucked into Anastasia’s mouth, his knot drowning and reaching halfway. He chanted fuck, again and again, relishing the feeling of his omegas mouth on his cock. It felt heavenly, nothing like anything anyone else ever got to do.He let out a loud gasp as the knot caught her lips, his seed seeping into her
March 26th “These flowerbeds are going to look great this summer.”Eden leaned against Ian by the window of the large living room, above the flowerbeds that Johnson and his men, including young Trubshawe, were preparing, burying the flower bulbs.“Amara is growing, too. It's late March, spring is in the air.”Ian put his arm around his omega’s shoulders and drew her closer. It was still a shock for him to know she was his.“Do you think it's possible to be this happy?" asked Eden.“No, not usually," he replied, smiling. Then he leaned over to tickle Eden’s earlobe with his tongue, watching for her reaction. “But I know lots of ways to enhance the sensation.”“Oh, I know that.”Eden tried to react like a respectable viscountess and show a little reproach towards her rascal of a husband, but she hardly succeeded.“As it happens," Eden whispered to him in an engaging voice, "we have no obligations either this afternoon or this evening. I've kept us a few moments free, since we're packi
Ian made it his own, sensing that this was their real first time. The alpha forced himself to control his desire and keep an eye on Eden’s, which rose and rose, until the final conflagration, the simultaneous deflagration.“My love…”Ian gasped again. “Forever and ever. Forever and ever.” “My omega,” Ian whispered, stroking the back of her neck.Ian looked at his omega with such tenderness, as if he couldn't believe he had it all to himself.“You're mine, aren't you Eden?” The alpha asked, looking tall and majestic above her“All yours” Eden nodded vigorously, her breath catching as she felt Ian’s hands wrap around her ankles, caressing her calves before spreading them apart, making more room for between her thighs“Yes," Eeen murmured, "yes, all yours, mark me.”“Are you sure?”“Yes, I want to be yours, completely”Ian let out a tiger-like growl just before he bounced on his prey, before leaning in, his mouth hot and heavy as he rubbed his lips across Eden’s cheek, up to her chin,
“Sir”It was Philips' voice that brought Ian back to earth; he'd just lost the most important person in his life.“Sir." Philips insisted in the face of his master's silence. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but we await your orders. It's getting dark, the current is preventing us from crossing and continuing our search, so I think it's best to go back inside, get warm, regain your strength and start again tomorrow. Also, you'll have to prepare for the worst, sir, with the low temperatures and the cold.”“Are you mad?” Ian asked, his voice full of fatigue but above all full of bitterness. “Excuse me, sir?”“My wife has just been carried off, I don't know where she is or what state she's in, and all you can tell me is to go home, get warm and prepare for the worst. So I repeat, ARE YOU CRAZY?”“I'm sorry, I…”“Enough... Send Jem to tell my Aunt and Alexis to take care of Amara. Then gather all the men near the clearing with the best hunting dogs you can find. I want everyone to get to work,
Ian first saw the shattered pillars of the bridge, then a wavering figure stepped out to meet him, a small dog barking frantically at his heels. Ian jumped down from his saddle and Toby leapt into his arms. A baby's cries could be clearly heard over the roar of the river.“Where's my omega, Philips?”“Still in the car, milord. With the maid and the baby. The footman's a little hurt, but he'll be alright. I sent him for help. It was the floodwater that caused the bridge pillars to collapse as we drove over...If we make any sudden movements, it'll cause the rest of the bridge to collapse.” Ian put the dog down and ran along the bank, the coachman on his heels. When he reached the carriage, Ian had to fight the urge to jump straight into the water to save his family.“We need ropes, horses and... Ah, thank God, there's Murrow!”The carpenter galloped down the hill, pulling his wagon team along. When he reached the bank, he braked with the reins. The men with him jumped down from th
We'll go down to the hotel, Mary," she announced to the maid, pulling from her bag the London guidebook she had taken from the library. Let's see which one is the most suitable..The horses slowed as they took the path that led to the bridge over the river. Eden glanced out the door at the fog-shrouded landscape, then back to her guide. “The Pulteney looks to be the most comfortable and central," she explained, trying to keep her tone light, "but it's certainly very expensive. Let's see.”The sedan lurched forward and, at the sound of hooves on logs, Jimin realized they had reached the bridge. There was a terrible creak. The coachman screamed and the sedan pitched sideways. Eden tried to grab hold of Amara, but her hands could only clasp Mary's dress as Icy water invaded the darkened cabin. They had fallen into the river.Ian waded to the edge of the torrent, the water almost completely submerging his high boots.“Too late," he announced. The dam's already broken. There's no way
Breakfast the next day was more tiring than Eden had imagined. Ian behaved with impeccable courtesy. He smiled at her, spoke to her politely, and when Eden sent the servants away so she could talk to him about what had happened the day before, Ian simply shook his head.“Let's not talk about it anymore, Eden. We've got to put it behind us. Your nerves were on edge after a few days at the reception.”Eden wanted to apologize, to explain why she had lost control of herself. If Ian pretended that nothing had happened, would she be obliged to leave for London and let this unspoken issue hang over them forever?There was a knock at the door, and Jackson entered. Behind him, several men in working clothes could be seen gathered in the corridor.“Lord and Milady will excuse me," he began, "the rains have caused the river to burst its banks. Turner sends word to the lord that he fears the mill dam may break.”“I'll be off then”Ian put down his napkin, stood up and walked into the corrido
What had happened? What had gone wrong? Ian contemplated in the deserted corridor, as stunned and shocked as if someone had just cut open his chest and ripped out his heart. He'd thought he'd made Eden happy and brought her security. But that had only been an illusion, which had now been shattered. He didn't know how he was going to make things right, or even if it was possible. No doubt Eden was in her room. Toby stood at the door, whimpering miserably. Ian knocked on the door, then turned the handle. To no avail. The bolt was pulled. Swearing muffledly, he tried to open the boudoir door. Locked too, as was the door to the baby's room. He knocked again.“Eden?”SilenceStriding to his own room, Ian tried to open the connecting door. It too was locked. Exasperated, he pounded his fist on the panel.“Eden, my angel, will you please open the door?”Through the wood paneling, he heard the child's startled cries, which put an end to his anger almost immediately. Amara must b
The day after the christening, it began to rain heavily, much to Eden’s dismay. With her brief experience as mistress of the house, she wondered what he was going to do with all her guests, on a rainy Saturday, after matins and lunch. But her worries proved futile. The bishop retired to his room to read his sermons, the older ladies took up their embroidery, telling each other the latest neighborhood gossip, while the younger ones obligingly kept the children occupied and did a thousand favors for Amara, as well as for Leon, Iris and Jasper’s baby. The alphas had disappeared. Some of them had withdrawn from the bishop's sight to play cards or billiards, while others had gone to visit the stables. As for Eden, she sat quietly, sometimes making sure the babies weren't too tired, sometimes simply enjoying the rain drumming on the windows and the crackling fire in the hearth. Jasper entered the room, his hair soaking wet, and leaned over to whisper something in Iris’s ear. She loo
——6th of January——— “Your Grace”Eden gave a deep curtsy like Alexis had taught her to do. Immediately her hands were grabbed, and one of the most handsome young men she had ever seen helped her to her feet.“Please, call me Alastor, " replied the Duke of Avery, kissing her on both cheeks. “Ian,” he exclaimed enthusiastically, “where did you find such a pretty omega?” “Just looking at her to know you don't deserve it.”“You can let go of her now, Alastor,” Ian said quietly, smiling. The look on his face, however, indicated that he was ready to slay any man who got too close to Eden, whether he was a duke or a prince.Eden felt overcome with excitement. She was a little apprehensive about this baptism reception, but, for the moment, everything was going wonderfully. The only downside in recent weeks was that Ian avoided sharing her bed, probably to let her rest a little after giving birth. Since Amara’s birth, however, the alpha seemed more distant than Eden would have liked. W
