Adam POV
Okay, my mate is a complete badass! Never, in a million years, did I expect what I just saw. She must have been training with her dad and Kayla's dad privately. A lot of those moves looked like their signature moves. I don't care how they trained, I'm just glad they did. "Are you sure about that?" Max asks, "you said you wanted a submissive mate. It looks like our mate is anything but submissive". "At this point, I don't care. So far, everything I'm seeing in her is perfect." I chuckle.
I approach Abby and Kayla after they are done hugging their dads and say, "That was one of the quickest fights I have ever seen. You ladies made quick work of them. I was glad to see it. Xavier is going to catch hell at school tomorrow for getting his ass kicked by a sh
Abby POV It was almost 8 pm when we got home from the fight, and I was exhausted. Every time I feel this tired, I know I'm going to get a visit from the Moon Goddess in my dreams, The fact that it's this early, tells me she has a lot to talk to me about.I tell my parents goodnight and go to my room. I take a hot shower and let the steam relax my muscles for a bit. I get out of the shower and dry off. I walk into my room and put on a tank top and shorts. I brush out my hair and put it in a loose braid to keep it from tangling like crazy overnight. I brush my teeth and turn off my light and get in bed. I f
Adam POV I wake up to Max howling in my head, "Wake up! Time to go meet mate!" I smile and say, "Today is the day. Why do I have a bad feeling?" Max says, "maybe because she is too good for us? Maybe because your dad is being a dickwad? Could be any number of things. Let's get up and try though. At the very least we get to look forward to seeing her up-close and personal in that leather outfit". I get out of bed, already hard thinking about the outfit. "Good grief, Max, you couldn't wait to put that image in my head?" Max rolls his eyes, "Sorry dude. Sucks to be you right now". I force myself to think of boring things while I brush my teeth and get dressed for the day. I walk downstairs intending to just grab an apple for breakfast, but my dad is si
We walk into the gas station and Kayla says, "Pick your poison. I'm buying, birthday girl". I think pure chocolate is the best thing for me, so I grab a king size chocolate bar nothing else in it... just straight chocolate. Kayla looks at it and says, "You got it. I just hope you don't make yourself sick before the fun tonight." I shake my head as I wait for her to pay for it and say, "Not going to happen. I plan on trying to make this last all day". She laughs and we go to school. As soon as we walk into the school, everyone starts stepping around us. As we are walking down the hall to our lockers, it's looking like waves parting. I look at Kayla with confusion and she says, "The humans must've heard about us last night." I look around and say, "Oh well. I really don't care. It'll blow over". Just them I look up and see balloons. I get to my locker, and I have a huge sign on my locker that reads, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH! TODAY YOU DIE! I pull down the balloons and the
Adam POV Goddess it killed me to reject her. It made it even worse to hear her say she was expecting it and that no one wanted her. It also made me so mad at my dad, all I could see was red. Even Max was on the verge of taking over. I couldn't let that happen. I had to go talk to my dad. I was on my way home when I got a text from Abby. It was a picture of a sign that said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH. TODAY YOU DIE!" I knew who put it on her locker. If she didn't do it, she had someone do it. That's fine. Just one more thing I can show my dad. I had just gotten in my front door, when I got another text. This one from Kayla. It was a video of Dina trying to attack Abby with a hammer and Abby kicking her ass. I was so proud of her. We may not have that m
We just left St. Louis two hours ago and we are already at the school. It only took 20 minutes to get to Little Rock airport. When we got to the terminal, we saw signs with our fake names being held up. I walked up to him and said, "Cousin Gabriel?' He immediately wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug, "Thank Goddess you made it! I was so worried," then he looked at Kayla and said, "It's okay to relax now. We can protect her together. I have a car waiting. Do you have luggage to pick up"? We each held up a bag and I said, "No. We had to pack just the essentials. We are going to need to stop for some clothes for the next couple days until we can go shopping for a few more outfits". "Good," Gabriel said, "It's not good to continue hanging around here. Alpha Dakari can be ruthless when he wants to find someone bad enough". Kayla and I looked at each other in a panic. Gabriel shook his head and said, "don't worry. Your families are covered. We had our IT techs send each
I started to call my dad's usual number, then remembered that they both have new phones with new numbers. Gabriel added all the new numbers to mine and Kayla's phones, and I called my dad. M: "Hey dad! We just got to the pack lands. It's beautiful here"! D: "Honey, you may need to stay there a while. Dakari is going ape shit. He nearly killed Adam because he rejected you. I think he's pissed that he can't find where you went". M: "That makes no sense! Adam told me that he didn't want to reject me, but his dad was making him". D: "I know. Adam is in the pack hospital and your mother is taking care of him. Adam is telling your mother to tell you that you won't be safe here until his dad steps down or dies". M: "He's not planning on killing his dad, is he?" D: "He's not planning it, but the time may come when he has to defend himself". M: "Okay. Well, I guess that's all he can do if he wants the pack's loyalty when he takes
Abby POV "Abby! Concentrate! You need to master levitation before we can go any farther". That's my trainer, Zayna. She is an amazing trainer, but she doesn't have much of a sense of humor. I have now been here two months and I am loving this life. It can be super frustrating at times, like now. I'm trying to levitate a huge boulder over eight feet in the air. To add to my motivation, she has Kayla standing less than 1 foot next to it. I have already almost landed the boulder on top of her a couple times. Now, as a way to relieve some of my stress, I laugh. It happens all the time. It started out with small giggles, but Kayla heard it and started trying to hold in a laugh, so now we are both doubled over in laughter. Zayna finally lets up, "you two are go
After we finished training for the day, Kayla and I went to our rooms with a plan on meeting in an hour. After my shower, I felt so sleepy, I felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open. I laid down on my bed and fell asleep immediately. As soon as I was asleep, the Moon Goddess appeared before me. I immediately smiled and asked her, "Is there ever going to be a time when I see you with my eyes open?" She laughed and said, "There might be, depending on the choices you make in the future". I almost got excited about that when she says, "I know Gabriel told you that you will be shifting tonight. Yara has been begging me to let you shift since you got there," she laughed, "I came to let you know what to expect and to bring some news". "This shift will not be as painful as your first shift," she continued, "Your body remembers the arrangement now. You will have mild pain, but it won't be as bad. You and Kayla will not need to worry about shredding your clothes either. Both of your wo
Wow. Just wow. That is all I can seem to say these days. My triplets, Jack, Josh, and Brianda are already thirteen years old. Niki is fifteen, Luna is sixteen, and Caleb and Kurt are seventeen now. It’s crazy how time flies. Sylvie is now eighteen. She first shifted at sixteen, and still hasn’t found her mate, but we knew that It’s going to take an extra strong mate to be able to handle her omega powers. There have been several attempts to take her, but she has done very well at defending herself. It also doesn’t hurt that we now have assigned two more bodyguards to her. She hates it as much as I did, but she admits that it is needed. My mom is having her annual ball for unmated species, so we are in my old pack, visiting and letting Sylvie, Caleb, and Kurt go to the ball. Sylvie decided she wanted a leather dress, like the one I wore on the night Conri, and I met. We went, with my mother, to the same leather shop that I shopped in, and I immediately saw a dress that I felt
We were about to start Sylvie's party, when Nico, Brenna, and their twins, Alex and Ashley came in. They were followed by Seth, Shayla and their three children, Kevin, Kasey, and Kinsley along with Seth's parents. I was so happy to see Seth so happy. He deserves that. Lupe and Mike came in with their two children, Caine, and Kaylie. Mike looked happier than I ever remember seeing him. After we got back from our honeymoon, I told Lupe about Mike being the mate I rejected, and I was so happy that none of that mattered to her. She knew there is no way I would go back to him now and I knew that Mike was blissfully happy with her. He came to realize it too and apologized to me for the tough time he had given me. I told him I forgave him and to just be happy with Lupe. That was all I wanted for both of them. Trina has since been changed to a Centaur, and she is a beautiful one. They have four children now and could not be happier. After celebrating Sylvie's birthday, Conri a
So, I'm sitting on one of our garden chairs, watching our children play. It's so hard to believe that five years ago we were handed this sweet little girl who, literally, put peace in our hearts. Today, we are going to be celebrating her fifth birthday. We have never kept her story from her. From the time she was old enough to tell her bedtime stories, I have told her the story of the beautiful and brave mother who gave birth to a child who would be a gift to all in our species. The mother was sad, because her Alpha was an evil man who would lock the child away, if he knew she existed. So, she wrapped the baby in a warm blanket and added a note, asking whoever found her to take her to the king. She knew the king was known as a kind and caring man. The king suggested the Prince and the Princess raise her as their own. They all loved her the moment they laid eyes on her. During all the celebration in finding such an amazing child, the Alpha got very angry and started searching for the
After the reception, Conri and I slipped into Sylvie's nursery, said goodbye, and we left for our honeymoon. To say the honeymoon was amazing would be an understatement. He took me to a private island in the Caribbean, and I was in heaven. We spent our days, laying in the sun, fruity cocktails in hand, and our nights having the most mind-blowing sex we'd ever had. We celebrated being in love, being a family, and, most of all, being best friends. I never imagined in all of my life, that having a mate could make you feel so complete. Conri held true to his word, we went to a restaurant just a few times, but we mostly had a private chef come in and cook for us. I told Conri that I could cook, but he would have no part of it. He just wanted us to relax and just enjoy being together. I loved this side of him. I also loved his playful side when we swam in the sea. I loved jumping on his back and making him fall into the warm water. It was all a dream come true for me. One day, I voiced th
A tall, blonde woman, that I haven't seen in years, stands in the doorway. I hand Sylvie to Conri and wheel my chair to her. I hug her tightly, "How are you?" Maia replies, "I'm doing great! My life is nowhere nearly as exciting as yours lately, from what I'm hearing from dad and Aidinth! I laugh, "What can I say, Things tend to happen in my presence. It's a curse." She laughs and I find out that she found her mate in another kingdom and moved there. She now has six children, and she is over the moon happy. I smiled, "I am so happy for you! I haven't seen you since I was around six years old. I am so glad you are staying for our wedding. I want you to meet my mate and my new daughter!" Maia got excited, "That was fast! A daughter already?" I laughed, "Adopted daughter. It's definitely a story to tell." We went to Conri, and I said, "Prince Conri, please meet Princess Maia. She is Aidinth's sister!" He smiled, "It's very nice to meet you. I heard the story of the way you all
My mom said, "Honey, take the honeymoon. You guys will only get this one chance before life gets crazy. You two need this time for yourselves. Do it while you have an overabundance of babysitters who are more than happy to help you. This will give us some needed bonding time with Sylvie too." Conri said, "What if something happens?" Mom said, "Queen Winnie will come and get you, and teleport you back." Conri looked at me, "You did say you wanted to work on giving Sylvie and baby brother or sister. This will give us two weeks to try." I laughed and said, "Okay. But we spend the rest of today and tonight bonding with this little one." Conri said, "Sounds good to me." We sat in the conference room until Queen Carina, Queen Winnie and King Izzoth came back. They all reported that there had been no survivors, but they couldn't be certain that he was dead. I said, "King Izzoth, if he's dead, wouldn't he be in your realm?" He said, "No doubt about it." I said, "Is there a way for y
I was so wrapped up in the moment, that Conri was able to sneak up behind me and whisper, "See something you like?" I turned around and put my arms around him and said, "You know, I never even gave children a thought before now. I knew I wanted them, eventually, but I figured it would happen on its own." He laughed, "It might help if we weren't using protection." I laughed, "Yeah, that might help. Seeing our families with Sylvie is making me want to give her a baby brother or sister." He said, "I don't mind starting on that right away. Do you?" I laugh, "Maybe after she goes to sleep tonight." He said, "You do know that until she can go in her own room, we are going to have to be quiet too." I said, "Yep. That may be an issue. We'll just have to wait and see what happens." He laughed, "You got it." A knock on the door caused us both to look warily, just in case it is someone who is looking for Sylvie. When the person was let in, she was a bloody mess and barely standing, "He
When we got to the castle, we were met by King Fenris and the warriors. King Fenris was barking orders to his warriors when I asked, "Have you found out how they got past the patrol?" King Fenris said, "We lost two warriors." I shook my head and got mad. I said, "I need my chair. I am not wearing myself out over rogues." Queen Nina was already on it, "Ashie," she yells, "I walk up to her and say, "You are amazing. Thank you." She said, "Just be careful. We can't have either of you getting hurt the day before the wedding." I said, "I plan on just using magic. Conri will stay by me." She said, "That's good to know." I yelled for Conri, and when he approached, I said, "Why don't we go on the roof again. We don't know how many we are dealing with, and I want to be able to heal our warriors as soon as they are down." He said, "Good idea. Dad! We're going on the roof!" King Fenris nodded and yelled, "I'll join you in a minute!" We went up to the roof, and we were met with an unbel
I woke up this morning to the most exciting and terrifying thought of my life. Tomorrow is my wedding! I am excited and anxious and scared to death all at the same time! Conri is definitely the love of my life. He keeps telling me that he's loved me since we were ten years old, but I never have gotten to tell him that I fell in love with him at about the same age. I don't even remember when it happened or how I realized it. I just always hoped he would be my mate. Which is why I was so happy to reject Mike. The guy was a fucking idiot. My Conri, my Prince, is a thousand times better; in mind, body, looks and heart. I know there are not many men who would've stuck by me when I was paralyzed. I also know that, if they had stuck around, they wouldn't have taken the time to research ways to cater to me, without making me feel like a burden on them. Conri has always treated me as his equal and no less. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I will never take it for granted... ever.
