Over the next few weeks, preparations for a human Thanksgiving holiday were away. The kitchen was a non-stop activity of baking and prepping for the big meal. The entire haunted territory had been transformed into a harvest field with haystacks, dried cornstalks, pumpkins, squash, dried corn, and beautiful fall mums of all colors.The houses, buildings, and the pack house were decorated with scarecrows, corn stalks, and mums. Katia, Dalia, Selene, and Theia oversaw everything. Much of Nathan’s time was monopolized by Katia’s father. He wanted to make sure Nathan understood the meaning of having a goddess for a mate. The dangers that accompany the gift of his daughter as Nathan’s mate. Hyperion also was helping Nathan to understand the level of gods and titans. Hyperion explains that his father, mother, and their cronies are primordial gods and the life giver to Hyperion, Theia and ten other elder titans. There are lower-level titans also. The titan Cronus is father to Zeus, with his m
Waking up the next morning, Katia lay cuddled up next to Nathan listening to him snore lightly. Smiling, she thinks about the night before and how Nathan became her dessert instead of the other way around. She wondered what came over her. Once they were in their room, she couldn’t stop wanting to be in control. She had the overwhelming urge to taste him like he did her. The feeling was so strong that Nathan had barely gotten undressed before she was on her knees in front of him.Nathan’s member was already hard and oozing little white droplets. Those droplets made her mouth water. She wanted to see what he tasted like. Leaning forwards, she made a fist around his shaft and stoked down as she licked the drops of the head of his long cock. He tasted like salted almonds. Katia stroked up and down his shaft while she continued to lick where her hands went. Nathan groaned and rested his hands on the side of her head. She discovered that his balls were as sensitive as his cock and played wi
Since leaving the packland, Jake and the other two warriors have spent their time together getting to know one another, so they can act like the stepbrothers they are supposed to be. They spend their days hunting and traveling. Trying to look like rogues and taking what they want or doing what they want. In the evening and nights, they cook the catch of the day, eat, drink, and play card games while asking questions of each other. By the time they find Lucifer’s camp, they are well acquainted with one another and act like the brothers they are supposed to be. Before riding up to the camp, they seek entrance into, Jake, Tiger, and Bryan to give themselves one more night to prepare. They make sure they have plenty of the herbs they need to chew that Miss Theia gave them to make them smell like rogues. They ensure that their cell phones are hidden inside the tree outside the camp and that they are only carrying burner phones. Alpha Nathan has all the burner phone numbers, so he will know
After updating everyone about the whereabouts of Lucifer and his followers, Nathan begins setting down boundaries for Katia and her sister. Her father was in complete agreement and told Selene she could not visit if she was not willing to listen to her brother-in-law and follow the rules.This brought about the question of why does the grandfather not attack the girls in the other realm? Hyperion clucked, “Uranus is not man enough to go after my girls with me close by. He knows I will finish him off and have no problem doing it.”Doc said, “Well, that explains that.” Then he sat whispering with his new mate, Coral. After a few minutes, Doc asked, “So Alpha, how long do you think your Luna is going to follow the rules and stay cooped up within the pack house?”Nathan looked at him exasperated, “She will do as I ask. She understands that I am trying to keep her safe, along with her sister when she is visiting.” Nathan heard snickering behind him and spun to see Kane standing there. “You
Katia could not believe what Nathan had done. Why could he not understand that she could not stand being cooped up? She spent so much time locked in her room, in the basement, and then in a dungeon. Once she had reached the border between Snow Moon and Moon Touched land, she linked Kane, letting him know she was safe, and she would not be returning, as Luna, to the Snow Moon pack. She told him that she never wanted to see his Alpha again.“What happened?” Kane immediately asked. She did not answer though. How could she tell her cousin that his Alpha was nothing better than a rapist? Kane would not let up though he kept asking, “Katia, tell me, what did he do?”Wiping tears, she knew Kane could not see, from her face, she told him, “I never want to see him again. I will fight my own war with grandfather. I am done Kane.”“Cousin, where are you?” Kane asked worriedly.“Don’t worry about me. I will be fine. I know what I need to do.” She told him and then blocked the link she had with ev
Nathan was in his office staring out the window. He watched the tree line day and night, looking for movement. Hoping Katia would come home. However, she didn’t. She had not been seen by anyone except Bryan, Tiger, and Jake. That was two days after he had broken every promise he had made to her. Nathan was terrified for Katia and her wolf. When the three spies he had sent to Lucifer’s camp came rushing in and yelling, their Luna had walked into the camp and requested to see her grandfather. Nathan’s heart stopped. He knew what she was going to do because it was what he would do to protect his sister. The question was would the grandfather take the deal and who would ensure he did not go back on his word once he killed Katia.No one had seen or heard from her since then. Kalen had heard nothing from Aza after she had reached out to him the morning after the incident. Nathan stood staring out the window replaying all he had done and said to his mate that day. He only wanted her to be mo
Walking into the camp and up to Lucifer was not hard to do at all. She was relieved that three men there spying did not try to stop her. They were shocked to see her and surprised by her demand to see her grandfather. They did not know how to react and by the time their brains started registering what had happened, Lucifer had her by the arm and was ready to transport them elsewhere. She looked the three in the eye and smiled, waving goodbye.Lucifer was grinning at her and smirking. Katia just stared at him. In his deep sexy voice that made most women fall at his feet, he said to her, “How convenient you walk into my camp requesting to see Uranus. Where are your mate and his warriors? Laying in wait for us to move on?”She gave no answer and just stared at nothing. Katia waited for Lucifer to get on with taking her to her grandfather. She wanted to get this over. He tried once again, making his voice gentler, “Come on little one, tell me where your mate and his warriors are hiding?”
It had been a week since Katia’s family arrived and her father’s rage was still simmering below the surface. Her mother and sister tried their best to calm him and make him understand that maybe this was inevitable. That this attempt at the girls maneuvering Uranus had been different from all the others. Hyperion was hearing none of it. He knew that I had hurt his daughter in a worse way, and she ran into the enemy’s camp to get away from the pain I caused.Cronos had gone in search of Lucifer to find out where he had taken Katia to hand her over to her grandfather. We now sat around the table, in the dining room, on the twelfth morning of Katia being gone. No one was eating anything. Most of those at the table barely tolerated Nathan, and he knew he deserved it. His own pack still followed him but did not interact with him unless it was necessary to do so. The Moon Touched pack interacted with his pack members as they had been, but none of the ranking wolves came around to visit or w
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
