So, I'm sitting on one of our garden chairs, watching our children play. It's so hard to believe that five years ago we were handed this sweet little girl who, literally, put peace in our hearts. Today, we are going to be celebrating her fifth birthday. We have never kept her story from her. From the time she was old enough to tell her bedtime stories, I have told her the story of the beautiful and brave mother who gave birth to a child who would be a gift to all in our species. The mother was sad, because her Alpha was an evil man who would lock the child away, if he knew she existed. So, she wrapped the baby in a warm blanket and added a note, asking whoever found her to take her to the king. She knew the king was known as a kind and caring man. The king suggested the Prince and the Princess raise her as their own. They all loved her the moment they laid eyes on her. During all the celebration in finding such an amazing child, The Alpha got very angry and started searching for the
We were about to start Sylvie's party, when Nico, Brenna, and their twins, Alex and Ashley came in. They were followed by Seth, Shayla and their three children, Kevin, Kasey, and Kinsley along with Seth's parents. I was so happy to see Seth so happy. He deserves that. Lupe and Mike came in with their two children, Caine, and Kaylie. Mike looked happier than I ever remember seeing him. After we got back from our honeymoon, I told Lupe about Mike being the mate I rejected, and I was so happy that none of that mattered to her. She knew there is no way I would go back to him now and I knew that Mike was blissfully happy with her. He came to realize it too and apologized to me for the tough time he had given me. I told him I forgave him and to just be happy with Lupe. That was all I wanted for both of them. Trina has since been changed to a Centaur, and she is a beautiful one. They have four children now and could not be happier. After celebrating Sylvie's birthday, Conri a
Wow. Just wow. That is all I can seem to say these days. My triplets, Jack, Josh, and Brianda are already thirteen years old. Niki is fifteen, Luna is sixteen, and Caleb and Kurt are seventeen now. It’s crazy how time flies. Sylvie is now eighteen. She first shifted at sixteen, and still hasn’t found her mate, but we knew that It’s going to take an extra strong mate to be able to handle her omega powers. There have been several attempts to take her, but she has done very well at defending herself. It also doesn’t hurt that we now have assigned two more bodyguards to her. She hates it as much as I did, but she admits that it is needed. My mom is having her annual ball for unmated species, so we are in my old pack, visiting and letting Sylvie, Caleb, and Kurt go to the ball. Sylvie decided she wanted a leather dress, like the one I wore on the night Conri, and I met. We went, with my mother, to the same leather shop that I shopped in, and I immediately saw a dress that I
I have known I am an oracle for as long as I can remember. One of my first visions happened when I was only four years old. I couldn't bear to tell anyone what the vision was, because it was just too terrible, so I asked my mom for a notebook and crayons. She gave them to me, and I drew a picture of my vision. My dad, shot in the head with a silver bullet while on patrol. My mom slumped over her desk, at work, shot in the back of the head with a silver bullet and my baby brother crying in his little seat next to her. To say it scared the shit out of me is an understatement. I didn't want to leave my mother's side for a long time. Why silver bullets? I forgot to mention, I'm a werewolf. But the visions kept coming. My parents didn't make much money, but it was enough to keep us fed and clothed in nice clothes. My dad was a warrior, and a really good one. My mom decided to get a job when I was five. She could take my baby brother to work with her, but I had school. They couldn
"Come on! You have to tell me! I will die if you don't!" my friend Samantha whines. She is quite dramatic and over-the-top, but I still love her. "I can't. You know that. I will be in serious trouble with the Moon Goddess if I do. I can't tell you anything that messes with your freewill." I argue. She retorts, "I won't tell." I give her the "You're nuts" look and she stomps her foot and lets out an exasperated breath, "At least tell me where I have to go to find him." I shook my head, "Just stop! I cannot tell you anything about that! Now, are you going to help me find a dress or are you going to be mad at me for something that is out of my control?" She sulked for just a couple more seconds and asks, "What kind of friend lets her best friend go to a ball in a sundress?" I laugh, "A friend who is too consumed on where her mate is and if he will be at the ball tomorrow night." Our Luna, Luna Abby, is holding her annual ball for unmated wolves tomorrow night. She started
Aidinth POV I'm being fitted for a suit to go to one of those formal balls that our werewolf friends have. I usually hate them. For some reason, my dragon, Rex, really wants me to go this year. If he wants me to go, it's for a reason. Maybe to protect my siblings? Maybe my mate is there? My dad has said that hybrids with approved species are allowed now. I know my mate isn't anywhere in the dragon kingdom. I'm twenty and I still haven't found her. I've been to Luna Abby's formal ball every year since I turned sixteen. Maybe my mate just wasn't of age yet? I have no clue. I just hope Rex is begging me to go for a good reason, and not a bad one. I would kill anyone who hurt my family. That includes Alpha Damien's family. I've known them since I was ei
Aidinth POV I woke up entirely too early this morning. I dreamed about my mate all night. I am in the kitchen, drinking coffee when I hear my sister, Brenna, coming. I smile because she is singing, "Today's the day! We get to go see the twins!" I laugh and ask, "Why are you so excited to see them?" She smiled, "They're so much fun! Plus, their mom and dad saved Maia! They are good people... even if they are wolves." I chuckled, "Yes they are good people. It doesn't matter what species they are." She sighed, "It helps that Nico is so cute." I laugh, "Someone has a crush." She suddenly looks panicked, "You won't tell him, will you?" I laughed, "Your secret is safe with me." She hugs me and goes on about her day, while I am still wondering who my mate could b
Chloe POV Ashina and I had been in her room, deciding on what she is going to wear tonight. She got permission from Luna Abby to go to the ball tonight. She just wants to see what it's like. I helped her decide which gown to wear when we got the mind link from Luna Abby to come down. We walked out of her bedroom and Nico met us there. We all ran downstairs. Nico wants to race to them, so we all run to King Uther and Queen Chumani. I smile at them, hoping King Uther remembers me. I haven't seen him since the day he gave me a ride on his dragon. King Uther hugs me, "Is this the little girl who asked for a ride on a dragon when she was little?" I blush, "Yes sire, my name is Chloe." He smiles, "I remember. You have grown into a beautiful woman. I'm de
I smiled a huge smile, "I love that I have a dragon for a mate. Your dad gave me a ride on his dragon when I was six years old, and I've been hooked on dragons since. I actually always wished for my mate to be a dragon." He smiled, "That is a huge relief to me. But now I'm a little jealous of my dad." I laughed, "You could always give me a ride on your dragon, then you wouldn't have to be jealous." He smiled again, "I may have to do that." I asked with wide eyes, "Really? You would do that?" He smiled, "You're going to have ride on my back when we go back to my kingdom, so why not get you used to it now?" I smiled really big, "I can't wait!" He laughed and I almost melted. Best. Sound. Ever! I could spend the rest of my life listening to his laugh and making him smile. Wait! He's my mate! I get to do that. I am the luckiest wolf alive. All of the kids got up to leave, so we did too. They all walked ahead of us, while he tucked me to his side while we walked. I don't ever rem
