The next morning, Katia awoke to something poking her in the back. She wiggled some, trying to get it out her back, and then reached around to push whatever it was out of her back. She pushed at it, and it moved down, then sprung right back up. Ugh! It was uncomfortable sticking in her back. She just wanted to go back to sleep. Aza started to awaken and pay attention to what her human was doing. Katia reached behind her back once more and pushed the offending thing away again and it bounced right back. It was like someone was taking a pole and poking her in the small of her back. Realizing she was still wrapped in Nathan’s arms, she wondered why he could not feel that thing between them. Azo was giggling in her mind. “Quiet wolfie! I am trying to get this stupid stick out from between Nathan and I.”Aza, not able to resist said, “Why don’t you give it a good hard slap and then push. That will probably make it move then.”Katia reached around one more time, slapping and pushing the off
Katia hurriedly changed her clothes. She put on the warm flannel matching pajama bottoms and top. They were so soft and the prettiest pink she had ever seen. They were the color of a flamingo’s feathers. She loved them. She climbed back into bed and sat with blankets covering her bottom half. She waited for Nathan and when he walked into the room smelling of sage and peppermint, she immediately relaxed. He was so yummy to look at. “I wonder if he tastes like peppermint?” She thought to herself. Of course, her wolf chimed in, “Mm mm if he does, I want a lick.” Katia rolled her eyes and checked to make sure Nathan did not see it and think she was doing it to him. He didn’t witness it, so she sat quietly waiting for whatever was going to happen to begin.Nathan sat down on the bed and scooped Katia into his lap. He settled with his back against the pillows and turned her so her back was against his chest. Her little heart-shaped rear was sitting on top of his thighs, and she had to lean
Doctor Opie came walking in with Doc and Katia jumped from the bed, running to her pack doctor. The two were obviously close by the way they hugged each other. Doc held her away from him some and looked her over, “You are alive and look healthier than I have ever seen you. I think you have even put a little more weight on. You are still too thin, but it is okay. We have forever to fatten you up.”Katia smiled and kissed him on the cheek before turning back to the bed and me. She was pulling the doctor from her pack with her. She stopped in front of me and stared for a minute. I could tell she and her Doc were speaking with one another and blocked me from the conversation.Doc then looked at me, “Well my boy, Katia tells me you are her second chance mate. She also says that you do not act like the other Alphas she has known. She says so far you have not punished her for her mistakes. That you are patient and explain things to her. She also says that you are nice to look at.” Katia smac
Kane tells everyone else, “Please try to be patient and let her get the story out. Hold your questions until she is done. This is going to be draining on her and some of the things you will hear will make you think she should be stronger. However, this time around it has been the hardest for Katia and she was the youngest she had ever been when it began.”The group looked on in confusion and Kane nodded for his cousin to begin. Katia started where she left off yesterday. How she and Aza and I woke in the darkness and we were happy because, once again, it was quiet and peaceful. They felt no pain and they each had their own body. How Aza could nuzzle and give her girly kisses. How Katia could pet her wolfie and feel her soft silky fur. But then they heard the singing and decided to follow it. When they found the woman singing, she was standing in the middle of all the seasons. At this part, Aza and Katia were excited to describe the fourseasons existing right next to each other. How be
Closing the door, Nathan turned, and Katia was stretched out on the sofa with her eyes closed. He walked over, picked her up and stretched himself out on the sofa, laying her on top of him. She was so tiny, her head was tucked beneath his chin and her feet were at his ankles. She didn’t even stir when he picked her up and resettled her on top of him. He lay there for the longest time with so many questions and thoughts swirling around in his head.How has she done this so many times and been able to deal with those memories? She is so tiny and sweet. How someone who is supposed to love her and her family wants to kill her. Who attacks the children of those who wronged them? To Nathan, only a coward would do something like that. Really, the gods fight amongst themselves like earth realm inhabitants do. Nathan finally dozed off. To awaken his little mate making the worst noise he ever heard from a person. She was grunting like an animal caught in a trap. Her eyes were wide open, but she
Nathan and Katia never woke up for dinner the night before. Katia awoke the next morning wrapped in Nathan’s arms and snuggled against his chest. Blushing as the night before, came rushing back to her. She felt his manhood poking her belly and smiled. She won’t be smacking it out of the way anymore. She heard Aza giggle in her head. Katia looked at the clock on the table next to the bed, it showed it was 4:00 am. She wasn’t sleepy and wanted some quiet time for herself. However, every time she moved, Nathan tightened his hold on her and would mutter gibberish in his sleep.After what seemed like an hour of slowly wiggling out of Nathan’s hold, and then inching to the side of the bed, Katia was free. She tipped toed across the floor to the closet, grabbed some black leggings and one of Nathan’s hoodies. The hoodie she grabbed was maroon and said, “I Bite Back”, so she chose her maroon sneakers to go with the outfit. She would have to r
Once everyone was gathered and seated at the table for breakfast, they dug in like they were starving. Nathan was glad to see Katia was eating a little more than she had been. She has a pancake smothered in butter and syrup with a piece of bacon and a sausage patty on her plate. He would have to remember to keep plenty of syrup around. He smiled to himself at watching her pour almost half a bottle on one pancake. She kept glancing to see if anyone was watching, as she was afraid someone would catch her.As he looked around the table, he noticed the Snow Moon pack members watched in shock as their Luna ate her food as fast as she could. She was shoveling as much in with her hands as she could and barely chewing before swallowing it. Moon Touched members ate like this was an usual occurrence.Nathan reached over and pulled her chair closer, “Sweetheart, slow down. No one is going to take your food. I don’t want you to choke.” Blushing, Katia immediately
A few weeks after the morning meeting around the table, the plans they made were quickly coming to fruition. Nathan had helped Mark start the process of getting the charter for the new pack, and he showed them the land he signed over to the new Alpha. Everyone was helping to get the main packhouse built along with the hospital. Smaller buildings for some of the families to live in and a barn to house the few animals that had been donated to the Moon Touch pack by some of his pack members, were already built.Katia was learning to live a life without fear of torture or punishment. In the last few weeks she has been out of her coma and, healing, she has become stronger and put on a little weight. She and her wolf were still much weaker than the average wolf, and she was still a tiny little bit of a thing. Her voice seemed to be a bit stronger too. If she spoke without the link, her voice still sounded like a hoarse whisper, but it was a bit louder and stronger. Doc and doctor O
The next morning, the women were in the kitchen cooking breakfast as the men were outside working with the warriors. Katai and Selene had an eternal blush on their faces, and Talon could not help but tease them. "Found out what all that sticky goodness could be used for other than a sweet dessert for the children, did you? I expect every couple involved in that ice cream fight had the best sex of their life last night. I know I did." Talon laughed at the look of embarrassment on her fellow Luna's faces. She loved watching the goddesses learn to live like normal wolves, but she had many questions about how they performed their goddess duties.Selene was the first to respond to Talon's gentle teasing, "I didn't know that a tongue could do the things Lorn did last night." a shiver went down her spine at the thought of a particular spot Lorn's tongue kept hitting last night. She heard him in her head, "Behave Luna. If you keep thinking like that, I will have to leave practice wi
Katia did not decide until Nathan gently pushed her down on the bed that she was ready to begin their physical relationship again. She was still frightened that she would never be as normal as the rest of Nathan's family and friends. This thought worried her constantly that he would regret having her as his mate. Selene could have matched him with someone who had not been broken so often. She couldn't help herself, though when he had undressed her and slid his tongue along her slit, she had desperately wanted to feel everything she knew he could make her feel.Nathan stopped his feasting on her plump peach, as he called it, and looked up at her with worry, "If you can worry about me not wanting you in the future, then I am not doing something right in the here, and now, little one." He nipped the top of her mound lightly, and she jerked while letting out a barely audible moan. "That's more like it," he mumbled from between her legs. The man must have felt her slight giggle be
Katia sat watching those she cared about, laughing about the tag game this morning. She had listened as their mates accused them of interfering and as they continued to throw shade at them every chance they could. They simply could not believe that the luna's remained innocent and had not helped in any way. She saw her sister walking to the ice cream table to her left. Katia did not know that Selene liked ice cream so much. This would be her third helping. She was about to ask her sister to bring her some chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge and whipped cream when she realized her sister was not helping herself with more of the dessert.Selene stood with a bucket of vanilla ice cream directly behind her mate. She asked him sweetly, "Why do you believe we interfered again, mate?"Lorn did not bother to turn around when he replied, "Sweetheart, it is okay; we are not mad. We knew that as a woman, your heart would not allow you not to interfere and help the children cheat."Selene's
The alphas, lunas, their close friends, and family remained at the firepit. They say around the table, talking into the night about ideas for the elite werewolf force they wanted to create to focus on rescuing trafficked and kidnapped victims. They are different ways. They wanted to move the race forward but held onto their beliefs and ways. All of them agreed it still was not the time to come forth and let the human world know that supernatural beings existed. The humans could not help it, but they just would not handle that kind of information well. Some humans would have no problems with the supernaturals, but as with any race, they are those who would do evil terrible things to those they did not understand. So, the supernatural world could help the human world while trying to protect and keep its own. They could do the same for humans when needed.Zeus and Hera had excused themselves, saying they were needed in their realm. However, they met Gaia in the forest and listened to the
Once again everyone was seated around the huge tables that surrounded the fire pit. It was something that had become part of the daily meals; very seldom did they eat inside. If the weather was bad, then the portable walls were erected so they could still all eat together. Wolves from three different packs have begun blending themselves together into one gigantic pack, and they did not realize what they were doing. Working together and being there for one another was part of pack life. It was as natural as breathing, and the packs were only as strong as the weakest member. So they all band together to make each member of the pack strong. The eyes staring and watching them from the forest were in awe of the two halves of the moon and what they were accomplishing without realization.Hades watched as his heir sat amongst the wolves, gods, and other supes like the prince he was. He did not understand his son's unwavering love for the two moon halves but had learned not to question it. Th
When the game started, the women laughed so hard that they were afraid their pack mates would think they lost their minds. When the smaller ones discovered that they really could disappear and reappear they were blinking like crazy. Children were disappearing and reappearing everywhere. Eventually, the older children got, the younger ones under control, and the game really got going. The look on the men's faces was priceless each time a kid disappeared on them and then reappeared elsewhere. Katia could not stop laughing over the look on Nathan's face each time it happened to him. Once he saw where the children reappeared he would look to see what she was doing. Of course, she was sitting innocently watching the game. When she saw him looking over at her she would sweetly wave to him and go back to speaking with Rhea or Amara. She was helping to hold the little ones that were not old enough to play but their parents were volunteering. A bathroom break had just been called because some
The children had gathered at the center clearing in the middle of the forest, they were full of energy and excitement after the big breakfast of pancakes, bacon, sausage, cereal, orange juice, and as much syrup as they wanted. The smaller children were paired with an older child to ensure no one got lost or wandered too close to the waterfall and lake.One of the little boys standing with Leo chattered as fast as he could: "I would have liked to have seen the alphas' faces when they discovered they had mud and worms for breakfast." The others giggled in agreement: "I bet they are pukin' their brains out." another child mocked throwing up and falling to the ground.Selene widened her eyes and mouthed, "Pukin' their brains out?"Dalia rolled her eyes, answering the goddess, "They're kids; just roll with it.""Roll with it?" Selene repeated. "What am I rolling with?"Dalia laughed, "It means just agee with whatever they say. Kids make believe things that make sense to them but not us. If
Selene smiled admiringly at the new mark on her neck. She was inspecting it while looking in her mirror; as she turned her head slightly, she noticed the moon with a wolf resembling Lorn's looking lovingly up at it. They were surrounded by stars. If she remembers correctly, her mark was very similar to her sisters. Katia's had a wolf resembling Nathan's staring lovingly at the moon while snow fell around them. Lorn had been so gentle and loving when she admitted to him that she wanted to seal their bond. She blushed thinking about the things they did last night. She had no idea that it could be so wonderful or that it would feel so good. The memory of Lorn's hands stroking and rubbing between her legs before his tongue went there had her shivering and she noticed a wetness between her legs. Lorn came into the bathroom and pulled her against his chest. Leaning down into her neck, he took in her scent and spoke gently in her ear, "I can smell your desire, my tantalizing mate."Blushing
Nathan lay next to Katia, watching her sleep and thinking about the last week. She had not come back from near death the same. She and Selene had come back less emotionally damaged. They still had physical and emotional trauma, but it was different. Katia no longer acted like a spoiled child testing her new boundaries. Nathan did not know how to explain it except to describe it as a puzzle piece was shoved in the wrong place and someone had removed it, putting it where it belonged. Shaking his head, Nathan grimaced at himself; he was no doctor or anything; he was just another male wolf trying to figure out how not to ruin this new start with his mate. He had noticed that Lucifer did not come out of the incident the same way. Something had happened with the three souls intertwined during that time. Nathan still had no hard feelings for Lucifer, he loved both girls equally and would do anything for them. He and Lucifer had nothing but time while Lucifer held on to their souls, and Nathn
