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
Aidinth POV I sat in the grass and watched as my mate walked behind a tree to undress. I couldn't help but want to peek, but I stayed where I was. When her wolf came out, I almost stopped breathing. She is beautiful. She is a smokey grey all over and she has the palest blue eyes I have ever seen. They are icy blue. She has me captivated until she lays down beside me. I lay down on the grass and bend my elbow to put my hand under my head. She lays her head on my arm. I'm so in love already. I just don't know if she feels the same way. I reach over with my hand and ask if I can pet her fur. She blinks her eyes and I run my hand through her fur. It's so soft and thick! I am addicted to this feeling already. She moves her head to where she is looking at my face. I kiss her nose a
Chloe's POV I don't really know what I was expecting him to say, but I don't think I was expecting him to nod matter-of-factly, "We can do that. Why don't I send a couple of my guys down to come and get them now, and we can enjoy ourselves while they are moving it all. Do you want me to have everything in the room packed and moved for you?” I must have looked shocked, because he walked up to me and kissed me on the cheek. I grabbed him by his neck and pulled myself up to his face and kissed him gently. When I went to let go, and lower myself back to the floor, he wrapped his arms around my waist and deepened the kiss. It was still gentle, but I knew it was meant to show me how much he loves me. I matched it with how much I love him. I pulled back as we were both pantin
I looked at him like he was nuts. I smiled, "Of course, I agree! We're mates; we belong together. I'm not complete when you aren't with me. I realized that last night." He sighed in relief, "I was hoping you would say that. I missed holding you." I asked, "How long have you been watching me sleep?" He chuckled, "I got here about thirty minutes ago, but your grandma fed me breakfast before I came in here. That woman can cook!" I laughed and he smiled, "I love your laugh, but your sleepy laugh is really hot. I'm going to have to make you laugh every morning now." I smiled at him and ask, "What time is it?" He replied, "It's only six-thirty. I just couldn't wait to be with you again." I reached for him and asked, "Lay down with me?" He grinned, "I thought you would never ask." He kicked off his shoes, and sighed, "I have been missing having you in my arms since I let go of you last night." I giggled, "Your shirt helped me. I felt better when I was able to wrap myself in your sc
I furrowed my brows, "I'm sorry Samantha, I was so wrapped up in him, that I forgot to tell you. Will you forgive me?" She smiled, then squealed and hugged me, "Are you kidding me? I'm so happy for you! I could never be mad at you for that. I want you to be happy." I smiled, "Good, because I am over-the-moon happy right now! Who knew that my mate would be a dragon!" She asked, "He's a dragon?" I nodded my head, "A dragon prince!" She swooned, "Aww. You deserve to be treated like the princess you are." I gushed, "Thank you! He is so sweet and considerate. I never thought I would have a mate, much less one like him!" She started laughing, "Now I know why your wolf chose that color for your dress." I asked, "Why?" She replied, "It's the color of light smoke, silly!" I giggled, "That didn't even dawn on me until you brought it up." We continued talking and giggling while we were getting ready. She put two tiny braids in my hair and tied them together with a ribbon in the back. S
When we walked into Aidinth's room, I asked, "Do you mind if I take a shower?" He replied, "Go ahead. If you want one of my shirts to sleep in, I can give you one." I smiled, "I still have the one you gave me last night." He nodded, "Okay. Let me know if you need anything." I nodded my head and walked into the bathroom. I started the shower and got undressed. I took his shirt out of my bag and put it out for me to put on. I got undressed and got in the shower. I thought I heard the door open and shut, but I didn't pay much attention to it. When I got out of the shower, I grabbed a towel and dried off. I grabbed the shirt I thought I had laid out, but this one was a different color. I smelled it and it was his scent, but a little cleaner. I'm okay with that. I put it on and walk into the bedroom. I notice he's wearing the shirt I brought back with a pair of sweatpants. I laughed, "So you wanted that shirt, because it has my scent on it." He laughed, "I would love to be surrounded by
We walked to my grandparents' house and grandma had all the guys at the table feeding them breakfast. They tried to apologize to Aidinth, and he put up a hand. He laughed, "I understand completely. Her cooking is hard to resist, and she loves feeding everyone." They all laughed. We all visited and ate breakfast then we went to my room. I was able to show them what needs to go. I spent some time packing my clothes into boxes and get those loaded. When we were done, the truck was leaving, and we spent some time with my grandparents and Zeb. Before we knew it, it was lunchtime. We ate lunch together and went back to the pack house to say goodbye to everyone else. I found Samantha in the dining room with her mate. I told her, "We are about to leave. I will see you there later, right?" She nodded, "In a few days. Let me get used to having a mate before we start hanging out. Okay?" I laughed, "Works for me." I walked over to the Alpha's table and everyone I want to see is here. I
I turned to Aidinth, and he held me close, "Nothing will happen to you if I can help it. I wouldn't ever want to live without you now. We can make sure we triple up on security around you. I don't want you going anywhere, outside of our room, without guards. I don't know if she would follow through with her threat, but I'm not taking any chances. I cannot lose you." I smiled as I snuggled closer to him, "I understand. Thank you." He asked, "You’re not going to fight me on it?" I asked, "Why would I? I'm starting to think that was me in my last vision. I need to draw it out, or it will eat at me until I make myself crazy." We went back to our bedroom, I got my sketchbook and pencils, and started drawing while I explained the vision to him. When I was done, I showed the sketch to him and asked, "Does this place look familiar?" He furrowed his brow, "It does, but I can't remember where I have seen it before. Let's go talk to dad." We walked to King Uther's office, a
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
