View MoreBethany The next morning I woke up to the smell of breakfast, as usual, but Kennedy was still cuddled facing me in bed. Samantha and Skylar were cuddled at our backs and I cuddle closer to Kennedy. I bury my face in her chest and her arms absentmindedly wrap around me.Her orchid scent helps calm the start of a wave of nausea and I let out a relieved breath. I feel Samantha move closer to snuggle at my back with her face buried in my hair. I let out a content sigh and feel Kennedy kiss the top of my head.I look up at her and she kisses my forehead. I smile lightly and we both slip out of bed. We walk down hand in hand and saw it was those who knew about us pregnant cooking breakfast. Food laid out like a buffet on the island in the kitchen. Anna is the first to notice us and comes over. "Good morning, we wanted to surprise you with breakfast," she says with a smile."Thank you, everything smells delicious," she says with a smile.Amber comes over with two plates with bacon, blueber
SkylarNine weeks have passed since the twins were born. They have gotten big and we discovered that the twin who resembles Samantha is a boy and named him Michael. The twins that resembles me is intersex and Bethany named them Evan, an unusual unisex name.Kennedy is back to her normal comfort zone with the clans, but she's still leery about leaving the twins without someone she completely trusts and the list is short. She still makes breakfast every morning and everyone has gotten used to it. They often bring her snacks or offer to tend the twins when she's tired. There have been a few times the three of us come down for breakfast and a handful of members are helping her about the kitchen as their way to repay her for making enough for everyone to eat.This morning went as usual. Kennedy woke up before everyone, made breakfast, but something felt different in our mate's bond. I wasn't sure who it was because lately we've felt like one. I try to single out each of our bonds and when
Bethany It's been three days since Kennedy broke down about Skylar's mother not warning them about Carolyn. Sky does her best to keep her mother away from Kennedy but she still manages to get near her. She has claw marks on her face from Kennedy slapping her in half leopard form. Blood currently trailed down her neck as she sat on the floor looking up at me struggling to hold her back. We quickly came to realize that I was the only one who could calm her when it came to Skylar's mother. Unfortunately I was in the bathroom when she approached Kennedy. I swiftly turn her in my arms and she holds onto me, breaking into uncontrolled sobs. Clan members went to get Sam and Skylar as they were still trying to figure out living arrangements for everyone. Eloise enters the kitchen first and takes in the scene before her. "I suggest you go to the infirmary and stay away from Kennedy," she snarls in anger as Sam and Skylar come running in. "Mom, I think you should go back to our territory.
Bethany I woke up cuddled with Kennedy in the den. Looking over her shoulder and she was still sound asleep with the twins tucked protectively under her arm. Samantha and Skylar were gone but I could feel them close by, thanks to the mate's bond I now possess. I tuck hair from her face and smile as a faint purr comes from Kennedy. I look up as Eloise enters the den with a light smile. "I just spoke with Sam and Skylar," she says quietly and I nod, knowing she was indicating about me forming the mate's bond with Kennedy. "I just wanted to see how you two were doing, but I'll let her sleep. I know what's going on with the news about Rose and Skylar's mother." Tears fill my eyes and nod lightly. She gives a sympathetic smile before leaving the den. I nuzzle my face in her hair, breathing in her intoxicating scent of orchids. After getting hints of it for weeks, it's the only thing I want to smell and can't seem to get enough of. I feel her leopard reach out and Abigail accepts her.
****this is still before Kennedy has the twins. Next chapter picks up after they form the bond**** Bethany I woke to Kennedy nudging my side and spring up to a sitting position. I immediately saw the hurt look in her eyes and say in a soothing tone, "They went hunting. We don't know when you're going to shift back so they want to make sure there's a fresh kill for you." She gets up and I follow her to the garden. She let out a pain filled growl and I kneel in front of her, holding her face as she pants with relief as it passes. "I need to get you back to the den, I think you're going in labor," I say in a soothing tone. I lead her back to the nest but she was too restless. I rub at her stomach as she nuzzles her face in my stomach while I scratch at her ears. Her breaths were ragged and I helped her get comfortable with her head in my lap. Martha comes in with the portable ultrasound machine and I say in a soothing tone, "I think she's going in labor." Martha rushes over and b
****For those of you last chapter who were surprised Kennedy has a third mate this chapter will hopefully give you the answers why. This chapter starts off in Bethany's POV and she will start having her own POV from this point forward. Also just so you're not asking questions, this chapter is through what Bethany experienced while Kennedy was still pregnant and before the betrayal of Kennedy's clan. Without further ado.....****Bethany I was in the entertainment room with Kennedy, Anna and a few from our clan. She wanted to build this cuddle nest after she did a full shift to comfort Skylar with missing Rose. I was braiding her hair, admiring how soft her hair felt. I noticed she was falling asleep and stop playing with her hair when she let out this disappointed sigh.Anna said she was enjoying the affection and I went back to braiding her hair. She looks back with tired eyes and for a brief moment, our eyes held contact. In that moment I felt a slimmer of a connection with her, mor
KennedyI woke from my nap with the twins gone, Bethany still asleep and Skylar still wrapped at my back. She gives my shoulder a kiss and I relax. "Sam asked Riley and Anna to feed them in the nursery a few minutes ago. She's settling in the remaining of my clan so I could stay with you while you continued sleeping," she says in a soothing whisper.I feel my body relax against hers as relief settles over me. Remembering what happened before I fell asleep with the twins, tears fill my eyes. Learning I had a sister I never got to meet and will never get the chance tore my heart to pieces. It made me want to bring Carolyn back from the dead just to kill her the same way she killed Rose.I feel my connection with both clans open wide and each member immediately responding with a pull to their bonds with me. Bethany opens her eyes, seeing the tears in mine and hesitantly moves closer. Claire reaches out to her through the bond and she instantly takes me in her arms as soft sobs escape my
KennedyI let Riley carry one of the twins down when she asked knowing she was upset with whatever her parents had to tell me. I know Amanda helped distract me when I was upset so I didn't refuse her the comfort a baby seemed to give her at the moment. Bethany carried the other twin wanting to hold one of them in human form.Samantha's parents and a couple I don't recognize, I presume to be Riley's parents were waiting in the kitchen. As soon as the woman saw me she burst into tears. Alarmed of her reaction and a thick lump filled my throat. It took a few attempts before I could ask in a choked whisper, "What's going on? I thought you asked to see me?"Another couple enters the kitchen resembling Skylar and her mother asks curious, "Are you Kennedy? Daughter of David and Regina?"I shift into my half leopard form and ask in an angry growl, "What business is it to you?""Twenty-two years ago a couple came to us, seeking help to get out of their clan. They had a five year old daughter n
KennedyThe cubs have been up, walking and playing with each other for a few days now. None of us know when they'll take human form. Sam and Skylar occasionally shift and either play or lay with them to give me and Bethany a break. They've been exploring the clan house with one of us with them or one of Skylar's guards.At the moment they were feeding as I lay in the nest of blankets, getting my ears scratched from Anna. I haven't really been able to sleep much after that dream I had of losing Sam and Skylar. Security was being made air tight as we speak. Stronger windows were being installed throughout the clan house along with more secure doors to get in and out.They had already done the windows where I've been nesting and Anna was sent to help get me to sleep. She starts stoking my head and moments later I feel my eyes grow heavy with sleep. I look around for Sam, Skylar and Bethany but they weren't in sight."Relax Kennedy," Anna says in a soothing whisper and I lay back in her l
Samantha Two hundred years ago, our clan was divided by hatred between two brothers who wanted to take over once their parents were killed. One of the brothers took those who respect him to find new territory. He was the evil one between the two, but the remaining brother was the strongest. As first born, he was the heir to the throne of our clan. Over the years, the other clan has tried to wage war and has lost time and time again. As princess and first born of our clan, I am learning to take over my parents rule. The only thing I lack is my mate. Everyone has their mate, except me. Without my mate, my little brother will take over, but he's only ten and hasn't had his first shift. Each leopard has their first shift around their sixteenth birthday. We're able to find our mates after we turn eighteen. We'll know when we find them because only we can smell each other's scent. I'm twenty-five and I still haven't found my mate. "Sam, without your m
