After Adam left my room, Damien came back in and asked, "Well, did it work better this time?" I smiled, "A lot better, actually. I put it in a way that I hadn't before. So, how long have I been out?" He replied, "You've only been out for a day. Leah said you had a lot of pretty bad injuries. One of your ribs punctured your lung, so she had to fix it. She also had to set your leg and arm. You also have a cracked skull". I cringed, "No wonder I have a killer headache. Leah must have had some pretty bad flashbacks seeing me like that". He coaxed, "Actually, she told me I need to get you and Kayla to my pack as soon as possible. She said you two aren't safe here anymore. What do you think?"
I smiled, "I think that's probably the best thing I have ever heard. Did Leah tell you that the Moon Goddess was talking to me?" He answered, "Yeah. I just figured I would ask you about that on the drive down to my pack. I want to make it a getting to know you trip". I cringed, "What if you f
After we left the hospital, we went to my parents' house, and I found some of Gabriel's warriors packing up my stuff and loading it up. I recognized all of them and greeting them all with a kiss on the cheek. Damien pulled me close and growled, "Mine". I put my hand on his cheek, and giggled, "I'm yours forever. But I do like to hug people I know and love as friends or pack members. You might want to get used to that". He smiled, "I know. Zolten is going crazy right now, after everything you've been through. We can't lose you". I chuckled, "I fully expected you to be extra protective of me. Just let me be me while you're doing it. Okay?" Just then, Yara purred, "Girl, this wolf is a dream come true," I could feel her jumping up and down and she continued, "You're going to fucking flip out when you meet his pack. Zolten has already told me about it. Pack faster". I chuckled, "You need to fucking chill and help me heal. I need to get better fast so I can do the shit I need to
Damien has a look on his face like I've lost my damn mind and I chuckle, "I'm dead serious," Kayla nodded her head. I explained, "She already talked to you about it?" Kayla verified, "Yeah. We are in for some other-worldly shit. It's a good thing we are going to be in the country again. As soon as you are healed, we need to make sure we spend a couple hours a day practicing our powers and brainstorming attack patterns". I agreed and Damien asked, "Okay... wait. What is going on?" I explained, "Okay. Here's the deal. Alpha Dakari's wolf is almost dead. Before his wolf dies, he will be going to the vampire king to form an alliance and help him retain power of his pack after his wolf dies and he becomes human. He has no intention of turning the pack over to Adam. He is too power hungry". Then I turn to Ka
I walk to the living room and call my mom. She answers on the first ring. Mom: Abby! Thank Goddess, you made it there. Me: Yes, I did. Yara said you were freaking out. Mom: Not really freaking out... just worried. We heard about a trap that Dina set up. Me: We took an alternate route and one of Damien's security t
Abby POV I honestly thought I was still dreaming when I woke up in Damien's arms. The sparks were going crazy, all over my body. They just wanted me to get even closer to him. I really felt the need to stretch, but he was stillasleep,and he had a death grip on me. Apparently, he is sleeping as well as I did.
He said, "Hey loser, I thought you were dead. That's what Dina said." I chuckled, "Xavier, didn't you learn your lesson last time?" He argued, "I was after her. Dina said you were already dead." I chided, "Obviously, I'm not. And if she knew that the trap was intended for her, she would kick your ass worse than last time. She had you unconscious in one kick! If I were you, I would practice some more before you try to come at her again.” He fumed, "I don't need practice. Now that I know what to expect, I can take her this time." Yara laughed, "This fucker is Dina's mate! She hasn't rejected him yet, but she hasn't marked him yet. He hasn't marked her yet either. You should let Kayla kick his ass again just so she can feel it!" I laughed, "Guess what, Damien? Yara says this prick is Dina's mate! Can you believe how lucky we just got? We could let her kick his ass and Dina would feel it! It's a real two-fer!" Zach asks, "Is this 'her' you keep talking about my mate?" I nodded m
While Damien was in the shower, I found the perfect dress for tonight. It is a mid-thigh length black dress that hugged all my curves. It has spaghetti straps and a low neckline that shows a little cleavage, but not so much that it makes me look like a whore. I'm trying to look good for my mate... not every unmated male in the pack.Yara coached, "Girl, that's the way to get his motor running. You look HOT!" I'm looking in the dresser mirror as I start blow drying my hair. I'm not doing much to it. Just putting a few loose curls in it and leaving it down. I put on a light pink lip stain, then go to the closet to look for shoes. I decide on my black stilettos with the silver heel. I come out of the closet, and I hear a gasp.Yara giggles, "Girl, you should hear the words coming out of Zolten's mouth right now. We're trying to mate and mark him... Not kill him". I look up and Damien is staring at me with his jaw open. I grab the necklace that I want to wear a
Abby POVAs I started leading Damien up to our suite, I got the feeling he had no idea what was going on until we got to the second floor and he asked, "Are you tired, tiny mate?" I giggled, "Nope. Race you to our suite!" and I took off running as fast as I could. We got to the third-floor landing, and he grabbed me around the waist. I turned to face him and jumped for him to catch me. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he carried me that way the rest of the way to our suite.When we got in our suite, I kissed him with such passion that he started growling. I pulled back and notic
Abby POV After taking my shower, I dressed in a pair of black leggings and a hot pink tank top. I put on a pair of hot pink tennis shoes to complete the outfit. I brushed out my hair and put it in a high ponytail. It was at that moment my mate decided to walk up behind me and put his arms around me. "Are you sure that's what you want to wear today?" he asked. I smiled, "Yes, it is. I'm showing off my mark today. Is that a problem?" He laughed, "Nope. Not a problem at all.". I laughed and put on my eyeliner, then announced, "I'm ready when you are. What is your plan for today?" He answered, "I need to
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
