We walked up to our suite, and I got undressed and walked into the shower. I let the water massage my body as it helped wash away my stress. I finished my shower, dried off and put my robe on while I get ready. I am in the middle of blow drying my hair, when Damien comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me. I turn off the dryer and lean my head back against him, "Mmm. This feels good." He said, "I love watching you get ready." I chuckle and say, "That's random. Why?" He said, "Because I know you want to look good for only me." I said, 'You are correct, sir. Because I love you so much." He kissed my neck and said, "And I love you. And, if we want to make it to this ball on time, I better stop now, and get in the shower." I laugh and say, "As much as I hate the idea, you really should."
I finish getting ready and go to the closet. My formal gown, tonight, is a two-piece. The whole thing is a nude color. There is fabric covering my chest and lower region, but the re
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think so far.
It has been a week since the ball and Alpha Ryne has decided to stay around so he and Adrianna can go to the family reunion. She really wanted him to meet all of her family. He had already been to grandma and grandpa's once. Damien and I got to warn him about not wearing jeans over there. He was extremely grateful when they got back. He and Adrianna are staying in the packhouse until they move to Louisiana. My parents are okay with it. They know this was blessed by the Moon Goddess, so they trust her. Alpha Ryne gets along with my dad just like Damien does. Everything is great on that front. Today is the family reunion, and Molly and her mate, former Alpha Ronan, are grilling the meat for us. They just volunteered to do it. Ronan is amazing with the kids. He is so happy with Molly, and he has made her so happy. I guess she talked him into moving up here with her, because Molly has assured me, they are not leaving this pack. I am so happy for everyone who found their
Damien didn't even bother with a car. He picked me up and carried me to the hospital. I was laughing and he raised his eyebrows saying, "Would you mind telling me what's so funny?" I said, "I'm not dyeing. I'm just having babies. You can relax. There is no rush." He said, "I have had too many nightmares over the last month to relax. I need to know that I'm doing everything I possibly can." I said, "I know. That's why I'm not insisting on walking." We get to the hospital, and Leah is waiting for us. "Are you ready to be parents"? she asks. We both nod and she says, "Let's get you in a room, and get you in a gown." She showed us to a room and I put the gown on. I got in the bed and Leah came in. I need to examine you and see how much farther you have to go. Just then, another hard contraction hit, and I started taking deep breaths, trying to concentrate on my breathing, rather than the pain. &nb
Abby POV "Nico, stop carrying your sister around. You know she hates that." My twins are now two years old, and Nico seems to think he is Ashina's guardian. Ashina is half his size, so he acts like she is his toy. It aggravates Ashina to no end. Damien is coming home today from a trip to Louisiana. There is another pack that is having issues with trying to get along with their human neighbors. Since I am pretty busy with these two, he went by himself. I have already started training Ashina and Nico on the punching bag. They aren't quite steady enough to train on kicks. I have tried to instill in them that this is for defense only. Unfortunately, Ashina thinks that punching her brother is defending herself. To be honest, I really can't blame
"King Uther! I'm so happy to see you!" I say as I walk to him and hug him and his wife, Queen Chumani. I said, "I will get the kids. I know they're looking forward to seeing you again." The twins are twelve now and have been through a lot. But they never stopped telling us about their trials. I have always been thankful for that. Damien has been spending more time with Nico to prepare him for his future as an Alpha. I have been training both of them since they were two. My dad and Beau have been helping me with that. They both love their training time as much as I did at their age. I mind linked them to let them know the Royal Dragon Family is here. I hear heavy and fast footsteps and our two children and Chloe showed up. Chloe has been fascinated with dragons since King Uther gave her a ride. She is nineteen now, but still Ashina's best friend. They all come to a screeching halt and hug King Uther and Queen Chumani. King Uther hugs Chloe and says, "Is this the little
So, I'm in my room with Chloe, and I'm trying to get her to tell me who my mate will be. I know she knows, but she won't spill it. I'm only twelve right now, so I'm going to have to wait a minimum of five years to find out. I'm just not that patient. Chloe is an oracle and really doesn't like talking about mates. She has been told that she will probably never have a mate, because there aren't many wolves strong enough to handle the intensity of her visions and magic. I, on the other hand, have been told, by the Moon Goddess, that I will have the first mate who will reject me, and a second chance mate who will be perfect. I only wish I knew when and who. Chloe knows, but she won't spill it. I have already been through hell, but my parents are great at listening without judging. My mom had the same issues when she was growing up, except hers was worse because she couldn't fight back. My mom has been training me to fight since I was two. I am allowed to kick ass and I mos
Today is my fifteenth birthday! I just woke up with my parents, Kayla and Beta Zach hovering over me. As soon as I open my eyes, I hear, "Finally! I get to wake up! We meet again, Ashina! I am Nyla! Let's get this day going. We got some work to do, and some asses to kick. We are going to work on you today, so be warned. You are going to say some stuff today that isn't like you, but we need to improve your attitude toward yourself. That starts with putting all the haters in their place. Ready?" I smile and say, "Ready." I said, "Mom, you said Yara was funny." Mom said, "Yes," I said, "Nyla is serious and wants to get stuff done." Mom laughed and said, "They're all different. I'm just glad you have her now. She will help you with the kids at school." I said, "I hope so. I've given up on it." I get up and we all go to Nico's room. He is laughing uncontrollably. I knew it. With my wolf being so serious, I knew his was going to be hilarious. Nyla says, "I can be funny too,
After mom left school, I took a quick shower in the locker room, and went to my locker to get my book for my first class. I shut my locker with the feeling that something was about to happen. When I turned around, I was met with a fist to my face. It was Cam, LeAnn's volunteer bodyguard. I dropped my books and said, "You think I can't kick your ass too? Bring it." He took a swing at my face again and I caught his fist and twisted his wrist until his arm was behind his back. I jerked up on his lower arm until I heard the distinct sound of bones breaking. He bent over to hold his arm and I kneed him in the face. I said, ""Do you want some more?" He said, "No." I said, "It would be in your best interest to stop fighting on her behalf. That was only a fraction of what I can do. She's trying to get me hurt so I can't fight tonight." Cam looked at me like something just snapped in him. "I didn't even think of that. She just told me that you were trying to get Alpha to put her to death." I sa
Dad had all of the warriors that were on patrol looking for LeAnn, while I went to the dining room, to get a snack before my shift and the pack run. Dad wanted to call it off, but I refused. I told him that I was not going to be the cause of Nico and Seth missing out on the pack run. That is a big thing in the werewolf community. It's a rite of passage. It shows solidarity within the pack. It's even more important for Nico and Seth, because they are the future Alpha and Beta of the pack. It shows the pack's loyalty to the future Alpha and Beta. When we all shift, the pack will see that Nico and I are special wolves. We are both white and we both glow, like our mom. Our parents have known since our first shift at two-years old. I don't remember it, but the Moon Goddess reminds me every year, on my birthday. She told me, last night, that today was going to be especially bad, but it's for a good reason. I just wish I knew what that reason is. Finally, we all gathered in the cle
