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
Damien POV I see some pup come up behind my mate and I am immediately on my feet and, therefore, so are my men. Kayla stands up as Abby turns and says, "Adam. I didn't think I'd see you here. This is my second chance mate, Alpha Damien Riggs from the Red Fang Pack. Damien, this is future Alpha of Silver Moon Pack, Adam Dumas". I could see my mate was nervous about this situation, so I held her close to me, while the pup tried to intimidate me by growling. I looked at him like he has lost his fucking mind and said, "Nice to meet the pup who gave me my mate. I've been wanting to thank you for rejecting her". Then I looked at my mate and kissed the top of her head. The pup had the nerve to ask her if he could talk to her alone. My mate was so thoughtfu
Damien POV We had been having an amazing night. Watching her dance had made me have to readjust myself many times, but I would suffer through that every night if it meant getting to dance like that with her every night. She is so hot! Then that pup had to ruin it for us by confronting her like he did. Everything went downhill after that. Zolten was ready to start ripping that club apart when we suddenly felt panic that didn't belong to us. Zolten immediately had us on our feet, "Mate is in trouble! Go to her! NOW!" Before I knew it, I had the restroom door ripped off it's hinges and I was staring at my beautiful, badass mate standing over two unconscious she-wolves and her bodyguard, who had a syringe sticking out of her neck. Zolten smiled big and
I didn’t want to stray too far from Damian, but I really needed to get away from Dina. I walked out of that hall and shut the door. I waited in the foyer for Damien when I heard Yara say, “We should not be here alone. Someone is coming”. Just then, Adam walks up behind me, puts a hand on my shoulder and I flip him over my shoulder. He lands on his back and chuckles, “Guess I had that coming”. Yara laughed and said, “Oh, it’s just him”. I said, “You knew who was coming”. She laughed, “Of course. I just wanted to see you do that”. I cringed and said, “You should know better than to walk up behind me like that. I’m already wound tight after talking to that bitch. I’m ready for another fucking fight’. Adam stands up and says, “Why did you go out with him before we had a chance to talk?” I was suddenly furious with him, “Adam, I was blessed with a second chance mate. I’m not fucking that up. You were not willing to fight to keep me. Damien has more courage in his pinky, tha
Damien POV I sat down across from her dad and said, "That pup who rejected her is going to put up a fight". Cade says, "Probably. Abby wants nothing to do with him anymore. I know he came to her window again last night. I asked Kayla about it, and she told me that he wanted to talk to her after their testimonies were done and that he still likes her". I said, "So that's why she shut her window and closed the curtains". Cade said, "yeah. I do not like him doing that. Be a fucking man and come to the front door, if you want to see my daughter". I said, "I will ask her about it when I come over tomorrow. Do you mind if I come over tomorrow?" Cade laughed and said, "I would be more worried if you didn't! The mate bond is no joke". I laughed and said, "I'm sur
Abby POV I woke up this morning feeling amazing. Slightly embarrassed because I think I fell asleep on Damien. I mean like, literally, ON him. Oh well, he will probably want to get used to that. I have a habit of falling asleep when I get too comfortable. And he is very comfortable. My very own HUGE teddy bear. Yara purrs, "I can think of so many better things we could do on him". "Shut it, horn dog," I say, "I don't need any visuals. You got me in enough trouble last night". "What," she shrugs, "I'm just trying to do what we naturally do. You're the one who is being weird". "I'm being cautious," I retort, "Neither of us would survive it if we got hurt again. You know that". "How many times do I have to tell you, he is not going to hurt us. Maybe you just
Damien POV I know I've said it before, but DAMN, my mate is HOT! I had met Kayla in the training room to talk to her about Adam coming through Abby's window, but when she came into the room in her butterfly leggings and that black sports bra, Zolten started howling so loud, it was hard to concentrate on anything. I was both surprised and over-the-moon happy when she jumped into my arms. I was more than happy to catch her. If I could've carried her straight to her room, I would've, but I knew she wanted to work out. I know she loves to start her day that way. I could start every day of my life starting my day this way too. I was trying to concentrate on the conversation when she started her stretches. She was just doing what she does every morning, but Zol
Adam POV Damn. Why can't she understand how much I want her? "What did you expect? I told you not to fuck all those whores," Max said, "Now she had her second chance mate and there is little to no chance of getting her back. All because you had to get it out of your system". I said, "I never thought she would find out". Max thumped me and said, "Well she didn't just find out. She heard it with her own ears. You are going to have to figure out something huge to get her back". I said, "I have no idea what that would be. She's already falling for Damien". Just then, I received a mind link from my Beta. B: Dina and her friend are gone! M: What do you mean gone? B: Someone fucking let them out an
Before we left for the meeting, I told Yara, "I need you to talk to the other wolves in the room, when we get to this meeting. Try not to let them know you're doing it. Okay? I need to know what the fuck his plan is". Yara says, "You honestly think I'm going to keep quiet during this? You're funny. I will let you know everything I find out". I said, "I knew I could count on you". Yara rolls her eyes, "Was there ever a doubt? I mean... really... whatever happens to you, happens to me. Plus, Moon Goddess would ground me for eternity if I let you get killed". I shook my head and chuckled as Kayla and I walked downstairs. My dad chuckles and says, "Alpha Dakari not important enough to dress up for?" I said, "Nope. Not when he's trying to have me captured so that he can use me as a weapon". Damien laughs, "That's fine with me. I would rather you dress up for me". I roll my eyes, "Of course. That goes without saying. I asked Yara to try to talk to their wolves without them k
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.
