Adam POV
I wake up to Max howling in my head, "Wake up! Time to go meet mate!" I smile and say, "Today is the day. Why do I have a bad feeling?" Max says, "maybe because she is too good for us? Maybe because your dad is being a dickwad? Could be any number of things. Let's get up and try though. At the very least we get to look forward to seeing her up-close and personal in that leather outfit".
I get out of bed, already hard thinking about the outfit. "Good grief, Max, you couldn't wait to put that image in my head?" Max rolls his eyes, "Sorry dude. Sucks to be you right now". I force myself to think of boring things while I brush my teeth and get dressed for the day. I walk downstairs intending to just grab an apple for breakfast, but my dad is sitting
We walk into the gas station and Kayla says, "Pick your poison. I'm buying, birthday girl". I think pure chocolate is the best thing for me, so I grab a king size chocolate bar nothing else in it... just straight chocolate. Kayla looks at it and says, "You got it. I just hope you don't make yourself sick before the fun tonight." I shake my head as I wait for her to pay for it and say, "Not going to happen. I plan on trying to make this last all day". She laughs and we go to school. As soon as we walk into the school, everyone starts stepping around us. As we are walking down the hall to our lockers, it's looking like waves parting. I look at Kayla with confusion and she says, "The humans must've heard about us last night." I look around and say, "Oh well. I really don't care. It'll blow over". Just them I look up and see balloons. I get to my locker, and I have a huge sign on my locker that reads, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH! TODAY YOU DIE! I pull down the balloons and the
Adam POV Goddess it killed me to reject her. It made it even worse to hear her say she was expecting it and that no one wanted her. It also made me so mad at my dad, all I could see was red. Even Max was on the verge of taking over. I couldn't let that happen. I had to go talk to my dad. I was on my way home when I got a text from Abby. It was a picture of a sign that said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH. TODAY YOU DIE!" I knew who put it on her locker. If she didn't do it, she had someone do it. That's fine. Just one more thing I can show my dad. I had just gotten in my front door, when I got another text. This one from Kayla. It was a video of Dina trying to attack Abby with a hammer and Abby kicking her ass. I was so proud of her. We may not have that m
We just left St. Louis two hours ago and we are already at the school. It only took 20 minutes to get to Little Rock airport. When we got to the terminal, we saw signs with our fake names being held up. I walked up to him and said, "Cousin Gabriel?' He immediately wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug, "Thank Goddess you made it! I was so worried," then he looked at Kayla and said, "It's okay to relax now. We can protect her together. I have a car waiting. Do you have luggage to pick up"?We each held up a bag and I said, "No. We had to pack just the essentials. We are going to need to stop for some clothes for the next couple days until we can go shopping for a few more outfits". "Good," Gabriel said, "It's not good to continue hanging around here. Alpha Dakari can be ruthless when he wants to find someone bad enough". Kayla and I looked at each other in a panic. Gabriel shook his head and said, "don't worry. Your families are covered. We had our IT techs send each
I started to call my dad's usual number, then remembered that they both have new phones with new numbers. Gabriel added all the new numbers to mine and Kayla's phones, and I called my dad. M: "Hey dad! We just got to the pack lands. It's beautiful here"! D: "Honey, you may need to stay there a while. Dakari is going ape shit. He nearly killed Adam because he rejected you. I think he's pissed that he can't find where you went". M: "That makes no sense! Adam told me that he didn't want to reject me, but his dad was making him". D: "I know. Adam is in the pack hospital and your mother is taking care of him. Adam is telling your mother to tell you that you won't be safe here until his dad steps down or dies". M: "He's not planning on killing his dad, is he?" D: "He's not planning it, but the time may come when he has to defend himself". M: "Okay. Well, I guess that's all he can do if he wants the pack's loyalty when he takes
Abby POV "Abby! Concentrate! You need to master levitation before we can go any farther". That's my trainer, Zayna. She is an amazing trainer, but she doesn't have much of a sense of humor. I have now been here two months and I am loving this life. It can be super frustrating at times, like now. I'm trying to levitate a huge boulder over eight feet in the air. To add to my motivation,
After we finished training for the day, Kayla and I went to our rooms with a plan on meeting in an hour. After my shower, I felt so sleepy, I felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open. I laid down on my bed and fell asleep immediately. As soon as I was asleep, the Moon Goddess appeared before me. I immediately smiled and asked her, "Is there ever going to be a time when I see you with my eyes open?" She laughed and said, "There might be, depending on the choices you make in the future". I almost got excited about that when she continued, "I know Gabriel told you that you will be shifting tonight. Yara has been begging me to let you shift since you got there," she laughed, "I came to let you know what to expect and to bring some news". "This shift will not be as painful as your first shift," she continued,
After five months of being here inCold SpringsPack, Kayla and I had learnedall ofour powers and Zayna told us there will be more, but those would come when we need them. She said that all we needed to do is keep practicing with them now. Yara grinned, "should we practice on the warriors?" Freyja heard this and laughed, making Kayla and I laugh hysterically. Zayna looked at us suspiciously and said, "What's so funny?" I said, "Yara wants to practice on the warriors!" Zayna laughed, "They are training right now. You could practice levitation. Just try not to hurt them". Kayla and I ran to the training grounds and stood behind them. The pack Gamma, Josh, was smiling at us. Apparently, Zayna linked him and told him what we were going to do.
It has only been a month since the announcement was made, but Kayla and I are feeling more and more like this is our pack. We love everyone here and they love us in return. Our warriors have learned a lot of new techniques for fighting, and Gamma Josh has been having them practice, with us trying to stump them with magic. At one point, I used my powers to split the earth shallowly beneath them, and they learned a technique for using that to their advantage. As time went on, Kayla and I could feel our strength growing. We are now able to use our magic all day andnot feel exhausted at the end of the day. We can also tell that the strength of our magic has grown exponentially. I was able to throw lightning at a boulder as big as an SUV and it exploded into pebbles. Gabriel laughed at that and said, "
Twenty Years Later I’m sitting in my favorite spot with my mate sitting behind me in my favorite lounge chair. We are both drinking our morning coffee as two mountain lions walked up to the deck. They both bowed to us, and I smiled, “Good morning, Dusty. Good morning, Lilly.” Dusty found his mate in his own pack on his sixteenth birthday. We had a party for him that night and he introduced her to all of us. She is such a sweet girl I really couldn’t wish for anything better for him. Robert and Katie are so proud of them. They had four children and they only have two still at home. I am so proud of the parents they are. The two children that have already found their mates and left are absolutely awesome. Linden found his mate and decided to build another house close to our land. His mate understands that he needs to be close to family and his siblings are all he has left. His father passed away when my triplets were only two years old. It was an extremely hard time for him. We made s
Robert and Katie laughed and shook their heads as Robert smiled, “Now that would make me rethink my choice to be a parent.” I laughed, “I think she did.” Just then, Calista ran out onto the deck, “Good morning, mom.” She sat in my lap and hugged me tightly. I turned her around and introduced her to them. She smiled, “It’s very nice to meet my Uncle Dusty’s parents. I love him so much!” Katie smiled, “I’m so glad you love him, Calista.” I asked Calista, “Is anyone else up?” She smiled, “Dad is up with Raze and Eva.” I laughed, “Is Willow awake yet?” She shook her head, “She was sleeping peacefully when I came out.” I smiled, “Thank you. I guess you would like some breakfast, huh?” She smiled and shook her head shyly. I smiled, “Okay.” Then I turned to Robert and Katie, “Would you like to join us?” They agreed and followed me and Calista into the house. I cooked a big breakfast and had it all laid on the table. As soon as it was all prepared, it sounded like a herd of horses coming down
When Taylor was done feeding the boys, Evan and I took the boys in the living room to visit with everyone else. Uncle Dax was the first to hold out his arms. Evan smiled as he held out the first baby boy, “You are now holding Cain, and the boy mom is holding is Dylan.” After Doctor Harper was done with Taylor, I walked with her to another guest room in the house and smiled, “I remember how all I wanted after all that was to take a shower. Is that what you would like?” She replied, “Definitely.” I smiled, “You go ahead and take a shower. That shower has a bench in it so you can sit. I would highly recommend using it. I will get you some clothes.” I opened the closet door and found a perfect pair of soft sweatpants and a t-shirt that looked lusciously oversized. I grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra and put them on the bed. When Taylor walked out of the bathroom in a towel, I asked, “Feeling better?” She smiled, “That did feel better.” I got you a comfy pair of sweats and an oversized
Seven months later… Taylor and Evan are staying in the guest house with dad and Linden. Taylor wants me to be there for her when she gives birth. She’s afraid Evan is going to pass out. Evan agrees with her, but he still wants to be there for her and to see his babies being born. He swears we will try his hardest to stay conscious. We all laugh and Elliot smiles, “I don’t blame you, dude. I almost passed out a few times.” We were all eating breakfast one morning when Taylor gasped, “Oh dear. I’m pretty sure I’m in labor.” I smiled, “Evan, you need to be keeping track of how far apart the contractions are. Let us know when they are around five minutes apart. Taylor, you need to tell him when each contraction starts and ends. Okay?” She nodded in reply and I called Doctor Harper. Doctor Harper said she would start driving here now, so we will be ready. Wow. The whole family showed up! Within 2 hours, Elliot and I were sitting in the living room with dad, my mom, Evan’s parents, Aidint
I laughed, “I understand completely.” Calista smiled, “I can sing for you, Uncle Dusty.” He looked at me and I nodded, “Trust me… You want to hear this.” Dusty nodded, “I would love to hear you sing.” Calista started singing the most beautiful and relaxing song I have ever heard and Dusty looks so relaxed and happy. When the song ends, Dusty chuckles, “Calista, you are awesome!” She smiles proudly, “I’m a mermaid/wolf hybrid and an omega. My mom and dad rescued me from my old alpha. He kept me in a tiny room under the stairs in his packhouse. He was planning on marking and mating me. They rescued me just in time.” Dusty asked, “What happened to your family?” She looked down at her hands in her lap, “My old alpha killed my parents and my brother. My parents hid me, but I saw him rip my brother’s head off. But I have mom and dad now and I have the best family ever. I have LOTS of uncles and grandparents and now I have a brother and SISTERS! I really am a lucky girl.” Dusty pulled her clo
One week later… Mom spent the night with us last night because mommy, daddy and sister all needed to get a full night of sleep. We were all starting to get quite cranky. I don’t think I was ever more thankful for my mom when she offered to stay overnight. After feeding the babies at eight pm, I went straight to bed. I think Calista went to bed before I did and Elliot was waiting for me in bed when I got there. We all slept like rocks and I didn’t wake up the entire night. It was my best night’s sleep since the night before I gave birth to all of them. Don’t get me wrong, I love all three of my newborns. But they are definitely little sleep robbers! Ladies, let me give you a bit of advice. When other women tell you to sleep when they sleep, LISTEN! Trust me, it makes perfect sense. If the things you need to do can wait, do it. They have been wearing us all out. Raze has an insatiable appetite. We were at the grocery store yesterday, and a little older lady heard Raze’s hungry screams.
I held her close to me, “I don’t care how many little girls we give birth to; you will always be our baby girl. You just won’t be the only one anymore. Okay?” She smiled as she snuggled closer to me, “I like that idea.” I smiled, “Me too.” Then I asked her, “What do you think of being a big sister now that you’ve seen your new brother and sisters?” She giggled, “I am going to have so much fun. Especially with Eva! She’s like me!” I started yawning and Elliot sighed, “Are you ready to get some sleep, love?” I shrugged, “Yeah, I better sleep while I can. Doctor Harper left some formula on the counter with the bottles. There are plenty of diapers in the nursery next to our room. Would you please turn on the baby monitor before you come to bed?” Elliot smiled, “We have plenty of help, love.” I reminded him, “Doctor Harper told me to alternate between formula and breast milk. Next feeding, you all can feed them, but please wake me to feed them when they wake to eat after that.” Mom nodded,
I suddenly felt fear wash over me and I was almost paralyzed. What if I’m a horrible mom? I mean I would never do what Dahlia did to me, but what if I don’t develop that mother-child bond? I’m scared to death but then Elliot leans to comfort me and says in low voice into my ear, “You’re going to be fine, love. You are nothing but kind and nurturing. You’ve worked wonders with Calista. You have nothing to fear, baby. You also have tons of help at your fingertips.” I smiled as he kissed my forehead, “You always know exactly what I need to hear. I love you so much.” With that, I felt my stomach get tight and I lifted my torso to bear down, pushing to help our first baby through the birth canal. Doctor Harper encouraged, “That was a really good one, Elisa. Need another push.” Another contraction hit and I started pushing again. I was pushing and felt a sudden reduction in pressure. Doctor Harper smiled, “Here is your prince!” Our little boy started wailing as his father cut the cord, “He’
I sat in the living room with my feet up with dad, Elliot, Evan, Linden and Max. I was trying to relax, but my back started hurting. The ache started moving around to my belly and I could feel my belly squeezing tightly. It wasn’t so painful that it was alarming, it just really caught my attention. I raised my shirt to expose my belly as another contraction hit. As my belly contracted, I tapped Elliot to get his attention. As we both looked down at my belly, Elliot gasped as the babies were clearly visible as my belly squeezed around them. He asked, “That looks like it hurts so bad, and you are just sitting there looking at it. You are tougher than I am.” I laughed, “My back hurts worse than my belly.” Doctor Harper walked in, “Don’t get used to it. It won’t stay this way.” I looked up at her, smiling, “It will all be worth it. I can’t wait to meet them.” Doctor Harper smiled, “You are going to be such a great mother.” I asked, “Do you think a numbing spell would be a good idea?” She
