Adam POV
My dad has been relentless since Abby and Kayla left. I knew he and Dina had something to do with the roadblock that got Xavier captured. I've known they were working together since Dina was released from the dungeon. My dad even decided to make it public knowledge to the pack, after the council left.
He forced me to choose Dina as my mate and Luna. I had to mark her, but I would not allow her to mark me. I don't want that with her. Goddess knows I don't want her to be my mate. I can't stand her. But my father would not let me choose for myself.
We had the whole Luna ceremon,y and the pack has gone downhill since then. Dina is as power hungry as my dad. She is also on a mission to make sure Abby and Kayla are dead. Espe

Abby POV I woke up this morning to my mate holding me close. I still melt every morning that I wake up with his arms around me. I always feel safe and loved beyond measure. He makes me feel that way all the time, but mornings are my favorite. I untangle myself without waking him and go to the bathroom to get ready to work out. I walk out of the bedroom, without waking him, and go to our gym. I start stretching, and, once again, as soon as I start with my floor stretches, I hear a growl. I don't even look at him as I say, "Good morning, Zolten." Damien says, "He wouldn't leave me alone." I laughed, "That's okay. I love knowing that he loves watching me work out." I feel Damien walking closer to me, but then he stops, not far from me. I turn around
Kayla and I return to the dining room and every member of our pack stands and applauds us. I look at Kayla, "You opened the link to everyone?" She smiled and said, "They all need to know how badass you are." I said to the pack, "Thank you everyone. I appreciate your support and your confidence in me. Now you understand why we need these alliances today." One warrior stood, "We support our Alpha and Luna to the end. We will never doubt your decisions. You have earned our trust." Kayla stands and says, "What about your beta couple?" Everyone laughs and the same warrior stood and said, "Our Beta couple also. You have all proven that you will always have our best interest at heart". "That's very kind of you to say, but I think it's time for the warriors to train... we need it now, more than ever. She-wolves do not forget about the beginning of training for you at five o'clock pm. Kayla and I will train you. If something comes up, our pack Gamma and Lead Warrior can take ou
After filling my plate, Kayla and I sat next to our mates when the leader of the dragon warriors said, "Luna Abby, Kayla, we were just telling Alpha Damien and Beta Zach that, when King Uther told us about who you are and what you did to get our Princess back to us, he asked for volunteers to come here and train with you. Every warrior stepped forward. He left it up to me to pick nine more to come with me. I chose our best nine warriors. I want you to know that you have our undying loyalty." I said, "Rescuing your Princess was a no-brainer for us. My mother had a huge part in getting her to safety." He laughed and said, "We heard. King Uther is talking about putting her in acting classes now". We all laughed and agreed to relax for lunch, then we would go to the conference room and talk strategy. I invited Gabriel over for that part. Gabriel agreed and came over an hour later. As soon as Gabriel got here, we took him to the conference room with Draco, leader of the dra
After thirty minutes of arranging housing for all of the warriors that will be coming, we all stood together, as a group, on the porch of the packhouse, with a microphone in hand, as we watched everyone start running in. By the time everyone was there, we had nearly twenty-five hundred people standing in front of the pack house. I was floored as it finally hit me that I am Luna of all these people. It was such a humbling thought. The gravity of the situation finally hit me too. I felt even more determination to win this war. I could not risk losing even one life. Damien stepped forward and said, "We have been hinting at some things that would be happening soon, and that time has come. The Alpha from you Luna's and Beta Female's old pack has started an alliance with the vampire kingdom in order to start a war with us. He swears that your Luna will serve him, or she will die," there was a collective growl heard louder than I have ever heard as Damien continued, "The vamp
Adam POV I told my dad that I was going to see Alpha Damien to talk to him about a possible alliance, since Abby refused to be my Luna. Really, I just went to be able to see her and try to get her back one more time. I really don't give a fuck about her powers. I don't care. I just want her back as my mate. When she walked into the conference room, which was better than what I have, she took my breath away again. She is beautiful. But her scent has changed. She smells like herself, but she also has his scent. I looked at her neck and she has now been marked. Shit! No chance at getting her back now. Now I'm just pissed. So, I try to appeal to her sensitive side and tell her my pack is falling apart, which is true. It's almost like no one gives a shit about
Damien POV I'm sitting here watching my mate train the she-wolves in MMA fighting style and I still have to pinch myself. I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a talented fighter and drop-dead gorgeous she-wolf as my mate. I don't give a shit about her powers, although they are coming in handy in training our warriors. They have become serious warriors with some serious focus and fighting skills. During our meeting when Adriana and Layla showed us what was going on in their old pack, I couldn't help but laugh when Adriana said the shit's about to hit the fan. She is just like her sister. I did put them in charge of keeping an eye on what is going on in that pack. They are very talented using the table, so I'm going to let them experiment with it.
Abby POV Damien immediately mind linked Ely and told him to catch up with my parents and watch them. I called Draco and said, "Can you have one of your dragons fly over my parents to make sure they aren't kidnapped? If you will come to the conference room, we can show you why." Draco said, "I just put one of my guys on it. I'll be there in a minute". When Draco came in, Damien and I told him, with Adriana's and Layla's help, what we learned and what we've done so far. I said, "My mom just told Damien that she and dad are running in to town for supplies and he immediately had a feeling that they could take my parents to try to get me to go back". Damien put his arms around me, and I buried my face in his chest. I took deep breaths to take in his sce
When I get to the area outside the woods, where I'm supposed to meet them, I test the spell that Winnie placed on me and thought of the team helping me, "Is everyone there?" I heard, "Yes, we are all here." Yara said, "Good. Keep an eye on my girl. I won't be worth shit if we get a shot of wolfsbane." Damien said, "I know, Yara, just bring our girl home to me." She said, "I will, if I can. You all just need to keep an eye on us. I don't trust this situation at all". I continued walking until I saw my parents tied to a tree. I ran to them, untied them, and told them to run. My dad hugged me and said, "You shouldn't have done this." I said, "You still have two more girls to finish raising. I need to do this. GO!" My dad took off in the same direction as my mom, then I felt a presence behind me, "So, this is the Luna that has Luna Dina all worked up. You don't look like you could kick anyone's ass." I turned to see the witch. I said, "Do I know you?" She says, "We haven
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.
