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
After five months of being here in Cold Springs Pack, Kayla and I had learned all of our powers and Zayna told us there will be more, but those would come when we need them. She said that all we needed to do is keep practicing with them now. Yara grinned, "should we practice on the warriors?" Freyja heard this and laughed, making Kayla and I laugh hysterically. Zayna looked at us suspiciously and said, "What's so funny?" I said, "Yara wants to practice on the warriors!" Zayna laughed, "They are training right now. You could practice levitation. Just try not to hurt them". Kayla and I ran to the training grounds and stood behind them. The pack Gamma, Josh, was smiling at us. Apparently, Zayna linked him and told him what we were going to do. He nodded and Kayla and I slowly raised our hands as all the warriors left the ground and levitated until they were 10 feet in the air before Zayna told us to stop. They had all been concentrating on sparring until one of th
It has only been a month since the announcement was made, but Kayla and I are feeling more and more like this is our pack. We love everyone here and they love us in return. Our warriors have learned a lot of new techniques for fighting, and Gamma Josh has been having them practice, with us trying to stump them with magic. At one point, I used my powers to split the earth shallowly beneath them, and they learned a technique for using that to their advantage. As time went on, Kayla and I could feel our strength growing. We are now able to use our magic all day and feel exhausted at the end of the day. We can also tell that the strength of our magic has grown exponentially. I was able to throw lightning at a boulder as big as an SUV and it exploded into pebbles. Gabriel laughed at that and said, "Well, we needed some more gravel for the driveway. Feel like doing a couple more?" I laughed and said, "sure," and I struck three more. I am now in the rose garden with Kayla,
We walk into the house and Alexis immediately runs up to Kayla and jumps into her arms. My mom walks up to me and immediately wraps her arms around me while Kayla's mom does the same with her, and Alexis, since she refuses to let go of Kayla. After mom lets go of me, I reach Adriana and hug her. She pulls back and says, "I'm so glad you're back. You can go back to cooking and taking care of the kid." I laughed, "Are you saying you can't handle what I do every day?" She laughs, "Maybe? I just know I don't like it". Everyone laughed at her while we walked into the living room and sat down and waited for Beau to come in. After Beau walked in, Kayla and I updated them on everything that we've learned and becoming future Alpha and Beta of the Cold Springs Pack. I think Kayla's parents were the most surprised at the news. Leah was the first to ask, "So what if you find your mates? What happens then?" Kayla says, "Then we have a couple options. We can continue being Alpha and Beta
Abby POV After Adam left, I looked behind me and Kayla giggled, "Girl, he's got it BAD. You can't say it's the mate pull either. That's been gone for months. He's just not listening to Dina's shit anymore". I giggled, "If you hadn't been here to hear it, I would've thought I was just imagining the whole thing. Thanks for that". She patted me on the back and said, "No problem. You know I got your back any time". I chuckled and said, "We better get some sleep. We have another big day tomorrow". We both laid down and I honestly think I was out before my head hit the pillow. I woke up the next morning to the amazing smell of a cup of coffee being held under my nose. I opened my eyes and realized I was smiling. My mom laughed and said, "Now I know how t
We decided that we should go to the dining room table, because it has more room. I asked them if it would be possible for Kayla and me to go take a quick shower so that we can be more comfortable. They all agreed, when my dad had to embarrass me. He said, "Of course. What is it you always say you smell like after a long workout?" I gave him a death glare and said, "A wet goat." Then I flicked a tiny lightning bolt at his arm on my way upstairs. He laughed and yelled, "OW! That hurt"! Everyone else chuckled. After I took a quick shower, I put my hair in a braid because I didn't have time for anything else. Then I looked in my closet and put on a pair of boot cut jeans and a black tank top. I then covered it with a coffee-colored button up silk shirt, but I left it unbuttoned. I put on a pair of Nikes and walked downstairs. Damien looked at me, smiled, and said, "Feel better, Abby?" I sighed, "Much better, thank you," as I started to sit next to him, but he immediately p
Damien POVI cannot believe how lucky I got in the Moon Goddess' choice of mate for me. She seriously could not be more perfect. I'm not exactly sure how she is going to manage being Alpha of her own pack, but Luna of mine. I was serious, though, when I said I don't care. I am so infatuated already; nothing matters but her safety and my pack. Speaking of which, I need to call Gabriel. He sounded like he wanted to talk to me about something. I take out my phone, call him and he answers on the first ring.G: Hey Damien. You don't have Abby with you, do you?M: No. What's up?G: I want you to know a few things. First, that is one special girl you got. It's a wonder she has stayed as sweet as she is with everything she's been
Damien POV Holy Shit! My mate is HOT! She took my breath away as soon as I saw her walk down the stairs. I never thought leather could look feminine, but I have officially changed my mind. Zolten has been howling and panting since we saw her. He's going crazy over her bare neck, "Look at her! Her neck is bare and ready to be marked. She's perfect"! When she showed the pocket for her phone inside her boots to me, it took all I had to keep from putting my hands between those thighs that she keeps tempting me with. My mate either knows how to drive a wolf crazy or she is totally innocent and has no idea what she's doing. I have no idea which is the case. She keeps proving my initial impressions wrong, so I need to keep an open mind and let her reveal to me what sh
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.
