It's the day of the ball! I am so excited for this day! Chloe and Queen Winnie decorated the ballroom yesterday, and they are going to decorate the garden today. I already have the human caterers coming at one o'clock to start setting up and getting food ready. There will be no need for servers, because we decided to just do a few tables of food for people to help themselves. There will be a chocolate fountain with a variety of fruits and confections to hold under the chocolate. I am so excited for this day. I am hoping for a lot of people to find their mates tonight. Especially my three favorite Alphas from Louisiana. I can't wait for them to meet Gabriel too. I know those four men would get along famously.
Damien is still asleep when I untangle my body from his and go to the bathroom. I do my business, wash my hands, then brush my teeth. I turn on the shower and step in. I hurry and take my shower, then walk into our closet. I put on a pair of maternity leggings and one of
Just then, I saw one of our omegas sniffing the air. She approached Alpha Arnou, and he started taking steps toward her. When he reached her, he put his hand on her cheek and smiled, "Mate." She replied, "Mine." Then she begged, "Alpha, I know I'm only an omega, but please don't reject me." He furrowed his brow, "Beautiful lady, there is no way I ever could. I've waited too long for you. What is your name?" She smiled, "My name is Accalia" He greeted, "I am Alpha Arnou Trahan. I am Alpha of the Swamp Nightwalkers in Louisiana. I would love it if you would come home with me tomorrow." She smiled and said, "I would love that." Alpha Arnou informed her, "I need to tell you, I have recently adopted a human teenage son. He is sixteen. He was being abused badly by his parents and he was homeless when I found him. Will that be a problem for you?" She smiled, "No. I love that you had the heart to do that for him." Alpha Arnou smiled, "I can't wait for you meet him." She asked, "Is he here?"
We walked up to our suite, and I got undressed and walked into the shower. I let the water massage my body as it helped wash away my stress. I finished my shower, dried off and put my robe on while I got ready. I am in the middle of blow drying my hair, when Damien comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me. I turn off the dryer and lean my head back against him, "Mm. This feels good." He cooed, "I love watching you get ready." I chuckle, "That's random. Why?" He purred, "Because I know you want to look good for only me." I smiled, 'You are correct, sir. Because I love you so much." He kissed my neck and purred, "And I love you. And, if we want to make it to this ball on time, I better stop now, and get in the shower." I laugh, "As much as I hate the idea, you really should." I finish getting ready and go to the closet. My formal gown, tonight, is a two-piece. The whole thing is a nude color. There is fabric covering my chest and lower region, but the rest is see-
It has been a week since the ball and Alpha Rynehas decided to stay around so he and Adrianna can go to the family reunion. She really wanted him to meet all of her family. He had already been to grandma and grandpa's once. Damien and I got to warn him about not wearing jeans over there. He was extremely grateful when they got back. He and Adrianna are staying in the packhouse until they move to Louisiana. My parents are okay with it. They know this was blessed by the Moon Goddess, so they trust her. Alpha Rynegets along with my dad just like Damien does. Everything is great on that front. Today is the family reunion, and Molly and her mate, former Alpha Ronan, are grilling the meat for us. They just volunteered to do it. Ronan is amazing with the kids. He is so happy with Molly, and he has
Damien didn't even bother with a car. He picked me up and carried me to the hospital. I was laughing and he raised his eyebrows asking, "Would you mind telling me what's so funny?" I replied, "I'm not dyeing. I'm just having babies. You can relax. There is no rush." He reasoned, "I have had too many nightmares over the last month to relax. I need to know that I'm doing everything I possibly can." I smiled, "I know. That's why I'm not insisting on walking." We get to the hospital, and Leah is waiting for us. "Are you ready to be parents?” she asks. We both nod and she suggests, "Let's get you in a room and get you in a gown." She showed us to a room, and I put the gown on. I got in the bed and Leah came in. I need to examine you and see how much farther you have to go. Just then, another hard contractio
Abby POV "Nico, stop carrying your sister around. You know she hates that." My twins are now two years old, and Nico seems to think he is Ashina's guardian. Ashina is half his size, so he acts like she is his toy. It aggravates Ashina to no end. Damien is coming home today from a trip to Louisiana. There is another pack that is having issues with trying to get along with their human neighbors. Since I am pretty busy with these two, he went by himself.
"King Uther! I'm so happy to see you!" I smileas I walk to him and hug him and his wife, Queen Chumani. I told him, "I will get the kids. I know they're looking forward to seeing you again." The twins are twelve now and have been through a lot. But they never stopped telling us about their trials. I have always been thankful for that. Damien has been spending more time with Nico to prepare him for his future as an Alpha. I have been training both of them since they were two. My dad and Beau have been helping me with that. They both love their training time as much as I did at their age. I mind linked them to let them know the Royal Dragon Family is here. I hear heavy and fast footsteps and our two children and Chloe showed up. Chloe has been fascinated with dragons since King Uther gave her a rid
So, I'm in my room with Chloe, and I'm trying to get her to tell me who my mate will be. I know she knows, but she won't spill it. I'm only twelve right now, so I'm going to have to wait a minimum of five years to find out. I'm just not that patient. Chloe is an oracle and really doesn't like talking about mates. She has been told that she will probably never have a mate, because there aren't many wolves strong enough to handle the intensity of her visions and magic. I, on the other hand, have been told, by the Moon Goddess, that I will have the first mate who will reject me, and a second chance mate who will be perfect. I only wish I knew when and who. Chloe knows, but she won't spill it. I have already been through hell, but my parents are great at listening without judging. My mom had the same issues when she was growing up, except hers was worse because she couldn't fight back. My mom has been training me to fight since I was two. I am allowed to kick ass and I mos
Today is my fifteenth birthday! I just woke up with my parents, Kayla and Beta Zach hovering over me. As soon as I open my eyes, I hear, "Finally! I get to wake up! We meet again, Ashina! I am Nyla! Let's get this day going. We got some work to do, and some asses to kick. We are going to work on you today, so be warned. You are going to say some stuff today that isn't like you, but we need to improve your attitude toward yourself. That starts with putting all the haters in their place. Ready?" I smile, "Ready." I said, "Mom, you said Yara was funny." Mom replied, "Yes," I continued, "Nyla is serious and wants to get stuff done." Mom laughed, "They're all different. I'm just glad you have her now. She will help you with the kids at school." I shrugged, "I hope so. I've given up on it." I get up and we all go to Nico's room. He is laughing uncontrollably. I knew it. With my wolf being so serious, I knew his was going to be hilarious. Nyla defends, "I can be funny too, we
