A week later, Damien and I were leaving. I hugged my parents and we told Zach and Kayla to make sure to keep us informed on what is going on, and we were on our way. We made it to the airport and boarded our private jet. As we sat and buckled up in preparation for take-off, Damien asked me, "Are you feeling okay?" I answered, "I feel really good. Why?" He replied, "You're just quiet. That's all." I shrugged, "I guess I'm a little nervous about this trip. No real reason, it's just my first trip, like this, as Luna." He took my hand, "You are going to be amazing. Do you realize how many times you have saved me from looking like a total dumbass?" I chuckled, "I doubt that. I was just doing what I felt needed to be done." He smiled, "That just shows you that you were born to be Luna. All of this just comes natural to you."
"Really?" I huffedas I whipped around in the direction of the voice, "Brian, what the fuck? I thought we were past this?" He held up his hands, "Sorry. Just kidding. You did a lot for us when we didn't deserve it at all. Besides, to be honest, you were the hottest loser I had ever seen." Damien growled and Adam explained, "He was with me when we saw her trying on the formal gown and that leather outfit." Damien chuckled, "Now I get it. Yeah. Both of those are really hot. I'm the lucky guy to have touched her in them." Brian smiled, "Lucky bastard," and punched Damien in the arm, playfully. I asked, "Are we done with the dick measuring contest?" Amy and I rolled our eyes and the guys laughed. Amy and I went to her garden area and talked while the guys talked Alpha stuff. She observed, "You look li
I stood, "While I do appreciate all of the apologies, I have moved past all of that. I hope you all do too. Raise your children to know that treating people like that is wrong. For now, all of you are forgiven. You were when I found out that Dina was the cause of all of it. So, let's put it all behind us and focus on the future now." Everyone applauded and I sat down and started eating dinner. Damien leaned into me and whispered, "Looks like two packs have learned from your experiences." I smiled, "My experiences were also this packs' experiences. They had to know that what they were doing was wrong, but they had a self-proclaimed Future Luna telling them it had to be done." When dinner was finished, Damien and I stood with Adam and Amy at the door of the dining room greeting people and telling them goo
As Damien and I made love, I couldn't help but feel more loved than I have ever felt before... even by him. It brought us even closer than we ever were, and we were almost inseparable before. If I thought there was no way I could live without him before, now I absolutely knew, without a doubt, that I would die without him. He is my other half, no more questions about it. I am so lucky to have a mate who will stay by my side no matter what and will continue to love me, no matter how huge I get. When we come undone together, for the last time tonight, I lay in his arms feeling more content than I have ever felt before. I was trying to figure out where that feeling was coming from, when Damien asked, "What are you thinking?" I answered, "It's just weird. I have always felt close to you, but tonight, I feel
Abby POV I realized, when I saw her again this morning, where I remembered her from. When we were looking at the real-time footage of this pack, before Dina took my parents, I saw her flirting with the vampires. I saw her willingly let one feed off of her. I couldn't help but wonder if they changed her and she was able to mask her scent. There was one way to find out. I walked to th
After changing clothes, Damien and I took two of our security guys, and left to go shopping. He as, "So, where would you like to shop, my Luna?" I answered, "I have never shopped in Union Station. Why don't we go there?" He smiled, "I would love that. I want what makes you happy." As we are riding in the back of a Hummer, I slide close to him and rest my head on his shoulder. I cooed, "You are so comfortable." He chuckled, "Comfortable? That's not something I hear every day." I snuggle closer, "I can always totally relax in your arms. I love that." He sighed, "In that case, you're comfortable too. I always totally relax when I'm holding you." I smiled, "It's that damn mate bond." He chuckled, "Okay. I really want to hear the story behind that saying. You and your parents say it all the time. So does Kay
I said, "Okay. The story behind the damn mate bond." He laughed, "It's kinda been driving me crazy since the first time I heard someone other than you say it. At first I thought you were saying it because you were worried about me hurting or rejecting you." I cringed, "At first it was. But that's not where it started. It started with my grandparents, actually. My mom's parents." "The one thing you need to know is that my grandparents are like my parents," I said, "They are the perfect example of what the mate bond should look like. Madly in love since day one, but my grandmother was like me. She was a pack omega in a very cruel pack. She has scars all over her body because the pack used silver on her a lot. Knives, whips with silver-dipped tips, you name it. Her pack held a ball for unmated wolves and i
When we were done with our shopping trip, we went back to Silver Moon Pack to see if there was anything else we can do for them before we go to the next pack on our itinerary. Adam replied, "There is one more thing we need Abby to do. Abby, do you think you could go through your old house to see if there is anything your parents may have left that they would want?" I shrugged, "Sure." So, Damien and I went to my old house and, as soon as I looked around, I started thinking of all the good times in this house. They were the only good times I had, with the exception of the time at Kayla's house. As we looked around, Damien walked into my old gym, "They left all of your old equipment." I pointed out, "They did have to leave in a hurry." Damien asked, "Why don't I send a crew up here to completely empty bot
When we got to the pack, I noticed that they had their own little town set up with shops of all kinds, a school, and a post office. I asked, "Does anyone venture into a human town at all?" Beta Rule shakes his head, "No, Luna. They are all afraid." I asked, "How are humans supposed to get any other idea of what you are if they aren't exposed to you?" He shrugged his shoulders, "Beats me. That's the same argument I've made." I asked, "When was the last time a human actually ran into one of you?" He chuckled, "The last recorded one was fifty years ago." I smiled, "Okay. A lot has happened since then, and humans actually want to see a werewolf now." Alpha Arnou sighs, "The werewolf and vampire books." I nod"Those books have been turned into movies, and people are actually choosing if they want to be on the vampire side or the werewolf side." Alpha Arnou and Beta Rule laugh, "If they only knew the truth." We all laugh together as we enter Alpha's office.
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
