When we got back to our pack, I said to Damien, "We still have a couple hours before dinner, do you want me to train you on your fire magic?" He smiled, "Perfect!" Then I heard Kayla say, "So some of you power transferred too?" I laughed, "What's with the secrets all of a sudden? What power does Zach have?" Kayla laughed, "I just wanted to keep it to ourselves just in case no magic transferred to Damien." I sighed, "You should know, by now, if it happens to you, it's going to happen to me." Kayla agreed, "True. Zach got ice." I laughed, “That is amazing! Damien got fire!" Kayla chuckled, "We are going to have all the elements covered among all of us".
"I have a feeling we are going to need every bit of it too." I muttered as we walked to a clearing that is nowhere near any houses.
Training Damien and Zach on how to use their new powers had Kayla and me in tears, from laughing so hard. The first time Damien produced fire; it was on the tip of his finger. Instead of th
Today is the day of the ceremony that will make me the official Luna and Kayla the official Beta Female. The packs have really made us proud over the past few days. Our pack has had two small rogue attacks and Cold Springs Pack has had three. We have had no injuries or deaths in any of the attacks. There were no survivors among the rogues. I have left orders with both packs that we need at least one prisoner, make sure my suspicions are correct on where the attacks are originating from.My parents and Kayla's parents refused to move to our pack until they are able to do a little investigating in that pack. We did send the helicopter to the hospital so that our parents could come to our ceremony, and they can fly back tonight, with no problems.All of us ladies are with our beauticians, right now, getting our hair and makeup done when my mom asked, "Did your father tell you we found out who is behind the rogue attacks?" I answered, "No. Is it Alpha Dakari?"
Abby's POV My happiness of the night instantly turned into a combination of sympathy for King Uther's daughter, happiness that I could tell him where his daughter is, and hope that we could get her back. I mind linked my mom to come in the room. Less than one minute later, my mom walked in. I smiled, "King Uther Dash, I would like to introduce you to Gabi Thomas, my mother. She is the pack doctor at Silver Moon Pack. My dad, Cade, is the lead warrior. Kayla's dad, Beau, is the pack Gamma, and Kayla's mom, Leah, is also a pack doctor. They are all moving here tonight. We have a helicopter that we will be flying to the hospital for them. Mom, King Uther’s daughter is the special patient you've been treating". My mom asked, "the dragon?" I nodded, "Yes".
Adam POV My dad has been relentless since Abby and Kayla left. I knew he and Dina had something to do with the roadblock that got Xavier captured. I've known they were working together since Dina was released from the dungeon. My dad even decided to make it public knowledge to the pack, after the council left. He forced me to choose Dina as my mate and Luna. I had to mark her, but I would not allow her to mark me. I don't want that with her. Goddess knows I don't want her to be my mate. I can't stand her. But my father would not let me choose for myself. We had the whole Luna ceremony, and the pack has gone downhill since then. Dina is as power hungry as my dad. She is also on a mission to make sure Abby and Kayla are dead. Especially
Abby POV I woke up this morning to my mate holding me close. I still melt every morning that I wake up with his arms around me. I always feel safe and loved beyond measure. He makes me feel that way all the time, but mornings are my favorite. I untangle myself without waking him and go to the bathroom to get ready to work out. I walk out of the bedroom, without waking him, and go to our gym. I start stretching, and, once again, as soon as I start with my floor stretches, I hear a growl. I don't even look at him as I say, "Good morning, Zolten." Damien chuckles, "He wouldn't leave me alone." I la
Kayla and I return to the dining room and every member of our pack stands and applauds us. I look at Kayla, "You opened the link to everyone?" She smiled, "They all need to know how badass you are." I turned to the pack, "Thank you everyone. I appreciate your support and your confidence in me. Now you understand why we need these alliances today." One warrior stood, "We support our Alpha and Luna to the end. We will never doubt your decisions. You have earned our trust." Kayla stands, "What about your beta couple?" Everyone laughs and the same warrior stood, "Our Beta couple also. You have all proven that you will always have our best interest at heart". I chimed in, "That's very kind of you to say, but I think it's time for the warriors to train... we need it now, more than ever. She-wolves do not forget about the beginning of training for you at five o'clock pm. Kayla and I will train you. If something comes up, our pack Gamma and Lead Warrior can take our places." I
After filling my plate, Kayla and I sat next to our mates when the leader of the dragon warriors said, "Luna Abby, Kayla, we were just telling Alpha Damien and Beta Zach that, when King Uther told us about who you are and what you did to get our Princess back to us, he asked for volunteers to come here and train with you. Every warrior stepped forward. He left it up to me to pick nine more to come with me. I chose our best nine warriors. I want you to know that you have our undying loyalty." I smiled, "Rescuing your Princess was a no-brainer for us. My mother had a huge part in getting her to safety." He laughed, "We heard. King Uther is talking about putting her in acting classes now". We all laughed and agreed to relax for lunch, then we would go to the conference room and talk strategy. I invited Gabriel over for that part. Gabriel agreed and came over an hour later. As soon as Gabriel got here, we took him to the conference room with Draco, leader of the dragons an
After thirty minutes of arranging housing for all of the warriors that will be coming, we all stood together, as a group, on the porch of the packhouse, with a microphone in hand, as we watched everyone start running in. By the time everyone was there, we had nearly twenty-five hundred people standing in front of the pack house. I was floored as it finally hit me that I am Luna of all these people. It was such a humbling thought. The gravity of the situation finally hit me too. I felt even more determination to win this war. I could not risk losing even one life. Damien stepped forward, "We have been hinting at some things that would be happening soon, and that time has come. The Alpha from your Luna's and Beta Female's old pack has started an alliance with the vampire kingdom in order to start a war with us. He swears that your Luna will serve him, or she will die," there was a collective growl heard louder than I have ever heard as Damien continued, "The vampires are
Adam POV I told my dad that I was going to see Alpha Damien to talk to him about a possible alliance, since Abby refused to be my Luna. Really, I just went to be able to see her and try to get her back one more time. I really don't give a fuck about her powers. I don't care. I just want her back as my mate. When she walked into the conference room, which was better than what I have, she took my breath away again. She is beautiful. But her scent has changed. She smells like herself, but she also has his scent. I looked at her neck and she has now been marked. Shit! No chance at getting her back now. Now I'm just pissed. So, I try to appeal to her sensitive side and tell her my pack is falling apart, which is true. It's almost like no one gives a shit about anything anymore in
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
