Here is another longer chapter for you since you have all been so awesome and patient. Drop those comments/likes/Gems to let me know what you think.
EMMA Well, the announcement went a lot better than I thought it would. I originally dreaded how the pack would react to it all. It was a lot of unbelievable information being thrown at them. However, they took it in stride just like my mates thought they would. There was still about an hour before the ceremony, so I was not exactly sure where we were headed, but my mates said they had something important to show me. We pulled up in front of a cottage, but they still had not told me what we were doing here. I looked at them both curiously, yet they just had smirks plastered on their incredibly handsome faces. “So, you brought me to a cottage in the woods to off me?” I asked. Xander turned to me and placed a finger over my lips. “I enjoy having my cock sucked by this pretty little mouth. If I off you, then all I have is Kai, and we’re both extremely straight. We share your pussy, ass, and mouth, but that is the extent of our sharing-is-caring attitude.” I expelled a breath against
EMMA “Can one of you please do something to entertain them? Show them some cool magic or something while I deal with this?” I asked Q and Macario who were right there as we stepped off the back of the stage. Q gripped my shoulders and nodded his head. Macario did as well. Up the stage they went. I took a steadying breath because now I had to deal with dumb shit first before we could carry on with one of the most important ceremonies for our pack. There were going to be other people recognized that nobody but myself and Papa knew about. This better not take long. Xander and Kai followed me until we were in an open space. A crowd of people of at least thirty or forty came to a stand in front of me. I gave them all a moment to hopefully think about their words carefully because I could only handle a certain level of stupidity. “Mrs. Fairchild, I understand that you’re upset. Freya had indeed been leaking private information to the Blacktree pack. She’s been doing so for weeks now. It
EMMA “This first person has strength and bravery unlike anything I have ever witnessed before. I was in awe of him from the moment I met him. A training program will be opening up within this next year to begin training a younger division for the Royal Guard. He will be my right-hand in this program as well as all future training programs underneath this banner. I could not imagine anyone more worthy than him and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he will help make these programs prosperous. Please help me in welcoming Brian Stevenson!” We all let out a thundering round of applause. I turned and waited, knowing that he was at the back of the stage. I caught Nae’s teary eyes as she looked right at me. Ethan also had a sheen in his eyes as he hugged Nae. Brian’s head was held high as he took deliberate steps. He carried himself just like the warrior that he would become in no time. There was determination in his eyes as he smiled at me widely. I could tell that he was incredibly su
EMMA “Who invited them?” I whispered to Kai. He looked over to where I was focused and saw the four Gaisreen they had already met. He turned back to me and kissed my forehead. “We did. Doll, you don’t hold grudges. It’s like physically impossible for you or something. Kestian reached out to us to apologize. Just hear him out, okay?” ‘You owe me in any way I see fit, but fine,’ I told him with a smirk before kissing his lips softly. “Kestian, can we talk?” I asked. His head jerked up in surprise at my voice. He looked unsure if I was truly asking him to talk. I rolled my eyes at him and walked over to the edge of the dance floor. Our talk would be as private as that. I was not going to just willingly trust the shithead. Kai clasped him on the shoulder and whispered something in his ear. I was actually very surprised that Kai was being friendly with him at all after the way he had treated them. I had a feeling that it was more for my benefit than their own though. My Alphas were t
KAI The day turned out to be far more amazing than any of us anticipated. Dealing with Blacktree ended better than we could have hoped for. To see Doll separate the actions of the human counterparts and the wolf counterparts filled me with such pride. It was her first official action of offering a choice to the innocent party. It led to hundreds of wolves getting the chance that I did. Xander had never been a piece of shit, but I still understood the wolves’ wonder as they got their own bodies. Our Doll did that. Xander and I were very furious and sickened with how much of the pack had harmed her, but she showed her strength throughout the entire time of dealing with them. We would still have to figure out a suitable punishment for the aggressors, but it made us all happy to know how many new wolves were free of their human shitheads. Up until we came across the patrols on our way to Blacktree, we were unaware that it was even possible to bind the wolf like that. Xander and I want
EMMA Last night was absolutely and positively mind-blowing. I had never been so turned on before. I was more than willing to do that again. My boys always took such great care of me. I could barely move last night, but I was all better this morning. We had another round of amazing sex before we began our day. Today was going to be an intense day to say the least. I was not all that thrilled about it, but I was glad that we would be able to minimize the threat the traitors caused. My boys were taking it harder than anything because these traitors were right there in our midst this whole time. None of us knew that we had traitors like that and especially not the number of them we did. It worried me that there was more going on than we knew about. Hopefully, today would give us all closure. The squad arranged for them all to be placed in one of the training buildings. It was an indoor facility for when it rained too badly during training or in the wintertime. Tank and Damien met with
EMMA “It wasn’t her that separated us that time, but it was her own genius that made it possible. It wasn’t just me though. She did it for hundreds of wolf counterparts just yesterday,” Kai said with a smug grin. Freya’s face paled and eyes looked panicked because she could not deny who he was any longer. Yeah, she fucked up yet again, but that look would always be my favorite on her. One day she would learn to keep her mouth shut. Or not. Either way, her fate would be decided today. It would be decided by her pack. I linked Johnson to play Freya’s first call. Apparently she had made thirteen of these calls to good ole’ Ezekiel. ‘Yes?’ Ezekiel’s voice rang out clearly. Each traitor looked panicked the moment they heard his voice. They all contacted him at one point or another. ‘My cousin Marsey gave me your number. She said that you could help with a little problem I was having here at Blood Moon.’ ‘What would that problem be exactly?’ Ezekiel asked carefully, but I knew him wel
EMMA “Mrs. Fairchild, may I have a word?” I asked, before she headed in to see Freya. She looked at me hesitantly before nodding and following me into an office. I shut the door behind her and leaned against the desk. She looked nervous. It was clear to see that she felt that I held a grudge against her, but I did not. I was annoyed in the beginning when she interrupted the ceremony, but I understood where she was coming from. “I’m not upset with you, I promise. You defended your daughter just as any mother should,” I assured her. She looked surprised with my words, but she began to relax a little. I handed her a bottle of water which she gladly accepted. “What can I do for you, Luna?” she asked softly. Today was going to be hard on her, and I hated that fact. She did nothing wrong, but her daughter did. Freya would be sentenced for her crimes against this pack. It was not about me at this point. She dealt with Ezekiel and put this pack at risk. I did not know what her punishment
EMMA I went into labor during the middle of the night, and it scared the living shit out of my mates. It was adorable while also being a little comical. Most soon-to-be fathers were like that. We had everything ready because we knew it was possible to go into labor a little earlier than expected because of having twins. Oddly enough, this pregnancy had no true complications. Most shifters who had multiples typically had complications. However, I was thankful that everything had gone as smoothly as possible. The sigils truly helped with the pain of the delivery because it would have been torture otherwise. I felt horrible that I did not already have these on hand for when Bellamy was born. “You have this, Emma. One more push and your baby boy will be here,” Tilly said. It had been ten very long hours of labor, but it would be worth it in the end. Kai was sitting behind me, lending me strength during this time. He had a hold of one leg while Xander had a hold of the other. The thre
EMMA It was still very surreal to think that I had been in Tylaphina’s realm for six entire months. However, I was able to bring back messages to Papa and Leonidas from our family. They were amazed as I told them about spending time with everyone. Their parents wanted me to tell them how incredibly proud they were of them both. They were proud of Papa for being the King that our people needed. They watched as he transitioned to the ruler of Aedrul and were thankful for how he protected everyone that he could from Selene until she could be taken care of permanently. They were proud of Leonidas for everything he did to help Papa rune Aedrul. His strength and perseverance made the entire Venscothi line puff out their chests in appreciation and admiration. My mates and I wasted no time in completing our bond in wolf form as well as completing the Goddess of Fate ceremony. It was very intimate and quite pleasurable. It was interesting to say the least because we watched as our souls mom
EMMA The pain from Asry’s shards slicing through me disappeared. Had I died? Nae did not say that was a possibility, but even she could not see every outcome. “No, you are not dead,” a melodic voice said. I opened my eyes and was in a beautiful field that was adorned with flowers of every color. My body was bathed in incredible warmth from the sun overhead. It was so peaceful, and my heart felt whole. It was a nice change from it feeling ripped apart, so there was that at least. There were wolves of all sizes sitting around, curiously watching me. It was a little creepy, but they looked happy. A beautiful woman stood between two of the larger wolves who looked as big as Krosthani. She was easily seven feet tall and had an ethereal glow around her. Her light brown hair cascaded in waves all the way to her waist, and her eyes were the most vibrant honey color which complemented her light bronze skin tone. “My name is Tylaphina, and it is because of you that I am free now. I was the
KAI “Why would you do that?” I screamed at her. There was only one explanation of how I was unharmed when she was not. She used Nata’s magic on me when I did not even realize it. She saved me instead of herself. I had never been more furious with her than I was in this moment. Macario and Tilly needed me to move away from her, but I could not do it. I could not let her go. “We have to let them take care of her. She needs them. Come on,” Xander said. I could hear the same anguish in his voice that I felt. I placed a kiss to her lips before setting her back on the ground and standing up. He pulled me a little further away to where Zane was. We watched as they assessed her. They spoke lowly to one another, but none of us could hear it. ‘She used Nata’s magic to protect me,’ I told Xander. I collapsed to the ground under the weight of it all. It was me that should be there and not her. She always took every fucking risk, putting everyone else before herself, when she should have pro
EMMA The success of tonight depended on my ability to play my part perfectly. Thankfully, that was one thing I excelled at no matter in which life or situation it was necessary. I steeled my shoulders and turned around slowly to see Asry’s smug face smirking at me as if he was the one in charge right now. As if he was the one who fooled me. Oh, how the mighty would fall. “Can’t say that I’m surprised that you’re here with mother bitch,” I said dismissively. “Ungrateful brat. Who do you think you are?” she hissed at me. I looked at Asry imploringly who just laughed and waved me on. He did not care about Lenora one damn bit. He probably was not wanting me to kill her, but I still would. This was something that I thought about extensively since we put this plan together. I needed to make him believe that I would consider being on his side. Then I would kill her so that she was out of our hair while also ensuring that his vessel was no more. This would solve one of the issues tonigh
EMMA Couples danced around the room, twirling, and dipping their partners. There was a string quartet playing on the balcony that oversaw the room. Acoustics amplified the music throughout the room as if it was right beside each of us. Despite the mission of the night, it was great to be in my Handsome’s arms once again. I loved sharing moments like this with my amazing mates. They were near and dear to my heart. No matter how much time we spent together in life, it would never be enough. Kai’s copper and silver eyes peered into mine while a handsome smirk pulled at his lip because he was thinking the same thing. We learned how to read one another better than any mindlink ever could. ‘Anything?’ I linked out. One of the sigils ensured that there was no evidence of a mindlink between any of us. That was the only way that we could pull this off. It also kept an open line of communication among everyone while in this room. It was a bit awkward right about now because there were many
EMMA The stress about tonight faded away the moment that my eyes locked onto my mates. I was never able to comprehend what I did right in life to have them willing to stand next to me no matter how crazy or bizarre the situation was. They were beside me every step of the way from that night at Olly’s until this moment as they pulled me between them. “You are absolutely stunning, love,” Xander said. He and Kai stalked around me to get the full view of my look. The matching low rumbles from their chests showed me that they certainly approved. “Doll…” He could not even finish his thought because his eyes flashed with an intense desire. “You get even more gorgeous every time my eyes look at you,” he said, caressing my cheek with his thumb. My body instantly flushed in response to his words. It was not certain that I would ever get used to everything they made me feel. I felt cherished, complete, immensely happy, and I felt loved most of all. All of those emotions flooded through my bo
EMMA We all ate a late breakfast together. It was not a joyous occasion, but we tried to make it as lighthearted as possible. The mission tonight was weighing heavily on everyone’s mind. It was not something that we discussed or alluded to, but it was the gigantic elephant in the room. I was really trying to keep my emotions under control because my mates would feel them and worry. We could not change what would happen tonight because we all knew the truth. Asry was too dangerous to let live. He would never stop coming for me or my family. We had to take him out of the equation to ensure our safety. I had a feeling in my gut that Nae’s vision of me being in a coma-like state was going to happen. This was the one thing I had to keep from my mates because they would call all of this off right here and now. They already felt guilty enough about me being in harms way, but there was nothing that we could do about it. I would just bury that thought as deeply as possible so that it did not
EMMA I woke up between my sleeping mates and smiled at them. They gave me the best ending to our night yesterday. That bath was perfect and incredibly relaxing. Today was going to be difficult on all of us but more so on them because they would be fighting against their instincts to protect me at all costs. Was I terrified to face Asry today? Absolutely. I would be a damned fool to feel giddy about facing an ultimate evil that wanted to enslave me as his Queen. However, that terror would solve absolutely nothing. For the time being, I would just shove that terror down as far as I could. Everyone needed to remain focused for today because our futures could finally begin once he was gone. A mischievous grin tipped my lips up as I looked between the two of them. Eenie…meenie… My gaze landed on Xander, so I carefully maneuvered myself until I was eyelevel with his glorious cock. I remembered the first time I saw it and how excited it made me. It still did to this day. I would never get
