Mated to the leopard queen Chapter twenty-one
KennedyI woke up, wrapped up in a blanket in the middle of the nest of pillows. I was surrounded by a large group of leopards, but the betrayal from yesterday rises to the surface. I discard the blanket and tiptoe naked to the bedroom for a shower. I let the water run along my body and caress my stomach. It feels as if they're the only ones who haven't betrayed me. Granted Skylar and Samantha's clans haven't either, but they all will eventually.I dress in some loose fitting clothes and do my best to braid my hair. I head down to the kitchen to make myself breakfast when I felt someone try to touch me. I whirl around and snarl in half leopard form before realizing it was Eloise. She takes a step back, holding up her hands. I go back to my breakfast and hear as she sits at the breakfast bar.I smell Samantha before she can touch me and snarl at her like I did Eloise. I leave the kitchen, discarding my breakfast and head to the waterfall. I could hear Samantha and Eloise warn the othe

KennedyI woke with Skylar's head resting near my stomach, like she was afraid to leave my side and she'd lose the feeling of the twins from the ritual. Samantha was cuddled at Skylar's back and I hear our door open. It was Eloise. Seeing her after the betrayal of my clan was relieving.I break into relieved sobs, happy that the others weren't harmed while we were split between the communities. Skylar and Samantha both jolt awake and work at calming me down. They both didn't notice Eloise as I reach out to her. She clears her throat and that's when they noticed her in the doorway. "I'll let you get dressed and we can escape to the garden," Eloise says in a soothing tone and I nod vigorously.Samantha and Skylar kiss my cheeks and I dress in a mix of their clothes to have their scents. I grab the ultrasound of the twins as leopards and head for the garden. I bump into Bethany and go in her welcoming arms. I feel her flow through the clan bond and welcome it, half shifting into my leopa

SkylarI woke, cuddled with Kennedy in half leopard form. She was still asleep and I saw it was well past dinner time. I nuzzle my cheek against her shoulder, purring and she looks back at me with sleepy eyes. I feel Samantha's pull gets stronger as she quietly opens the door. She sees we're awake and smiles lightly. "The kitchen is empty if you wish to eat. I asked that you both be left alone to rest," she says in a soothing tone and turns to leave the room."Samantha," Kennedy says quietly, switching back to her human form and Samantha turns back to look at her. "Thank you."Samantha bows her head and leaves the room. I help her out of bed and we head down to the kitchen. There was food already waiting for us and I could feel how relieved Kennedy felt. I kissed her temple and made her a plate as she sat in the corner of the dining room. She won't sit with her back exposed and needs to see who approaches her I watch as Bethany walks in and Kennedy looks relieved. She definitely rem

SamanthaIt's been a day since Kennedy went into active labor. She's been pacing the den for the last few hours. Shredded pillows were everywhere. She was exhausted and stopped pacing. She lowers to a squat and Bethany rushes to her. I rubbed at her back as Skylar got behind her.Bethany kneels in her view, holding her furry face. Kennedy sinks her claws in the shredded pillows, letting out a pain filled growl as she pushes. She pants for a minute before pushing against and relaxed as I watch Skylar help gently pull the first cub out. I watch as Kennedy's leopard maternal instincts kick in as she bites through the umbilical cord. Skylar brings the cub to her and she cleans it free of the amniotic sac. Tears roll down my cheeks as the cub starts moving wobbly. Skylar and I trade places. I massage at her lower back as she continues to clean the cub from mucas.I watch as the cub wobbles over and starts feeding. Martha said it could be a couple hours before the second one comes. Several

KennedyI woke up panting from the worst dream imaginable. The cubs were asleep cuddled with Bethany. I nudge Anna and she looks at me with tired eyes. I look at the cubs and back at her. "Sam and Skylar," she asks with understanding and I look at her with sad eyes. "Go, I'll let Bethany know."I wasted no time, so I ran to the infirmary. I had a bad feeling and I didn't like what I was feeling. It was more a lack of feeling. I couldn't feel the bonds with Sam and Skylar. I run past members of the clan as they call out to me. I needed to get to my mates.I entered the infirmary and what I saw stopped me in my tracks. Martha and another doctor were forming chest compressions on both of them. I shift back to my human form, grab a blade and cut my wrist. I hold the wound over Samantha's mouth and let the blood drip in her mouth and do the same for Skylar.Unable to stay in human form long because of the twins ties to me I shift back. I meet my eyes with Martha and she looks at me with sy

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

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

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

Bethany 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
