“Tyree just let me know that I have an impromptu video meeting with Alpha Carlos from a Montanan pack in ten minutes. Would you like to join me, love?”

I looked at him nervously and then down at my clothes. I was still wearing what I was during training. It was a simple pair of leggings and one of Xander’s shirts. This was not really appropriate clothing for a first impression. What would be proper attire? Business formal or business casual? I was trying to remember ever seeing him going to or coming from a meeting, but I could not.

Xander’s chuckle was lower next to my ear. “You worry far too much about trivial things. Plus, this is a last-minute impromptu meeting. Whatever you wear is fine as long as you don’t show up naked,” he said, nipping my earlobe.

“You’re evil. Let’s go to your office before I cancel the meeting and take you upstairs,” I said.

I sauntered towards his office. I made sure to sway my hips while I walked and was rewarded with a low growl from behind me.

    EMMA “You can say that again, doll. You handled it like you did this all the time. We’re highly impressed with our mate. Stop thinking that this is your fault. It’s Douchewad’s fault. Your father put this safety measure in place for this purpose. Now, why are they like me?” I ran my fingers through his hair, loving how it felt. I have always liked his hair. Shorter on the sides and longer on top. His hair had a slight natural wave to it, so it always looked messy but the type that looked like he styled it that way on purpose. My favorite was how it looked after sex. I loved anchoring my hands in his hair while we are together, just as much as I knew he loved having mine wrapped around his hand. It was one of many things we agreed on. Kai’s hands ran across my waist, giving me comfort from the sparks. It was pleasurable, but it also helped me center myself in reality and stay out of my head about Ezekiel. There were certainly many benefits to this mate-bond. “Ancient spirits were th

    EMMA ‘Doesn’t matter. We stopped him. Now, we can get answers,’ I linked since it was painful to talk. I rested my head on Xander’s shoulder and truly looked at the rogue. I had seen rogues before. Ezekiel dealt with them quite a bit, so there were always some coming and going from Blacktree territory. This one, however, seemed different than them. ‘It was a coordinated attack meant as a diversion,’ I said. The rogue looked extremely confused. There was no malice in his eyes, but I did see pain there. It was a deep type of pain which often bred desperation. It was not exactly what I would expect from someone who wanted to attack us. Perhaps there was more at play here. Luxor bounded into the area and Johnson shifted before approaching us. He knelt down, thankfully hiding his manhood. Shifters did not care about nudity, but I was not eager to see my friends and squad nude. He took in the gashes on my face, and I watched as rage flashed across his face as well. The patrols stayed i

    EMMA This was my first time visiting these cells. I was nervous but also curious to see them. The cells in every pack provided an important tool that protected the pack because it allowed for a safe location to house dangerous threats. The cells at Blacktree were dirty and disgusting, filled with mice and mold. From the beginning of his reign of terror, Ezekiel would throw me in them for days or weeks on end. He did not let me out even to go to the bathroom. It was incredibly degrading. But it never broke me. Many nightmares sprang from my time in those cells. The things they would do still haunted me from time to time. Hopefully one day it would no longer haunt me. I knew why I put up with everything that I did, but it was beginning to feel inconceivable that I used to be that girl. The punching bag, the slave, and the one who took beating after beating for a pack that did not care about her. What stopped me from hurting them back was how much the pack had meant to Papa. It was hi

    EMMA He was not obligated to apologize but he did, and that meant a lot. I offered him a legitimate smile of appreciation. He was different than what I was expecting, but that was not a bad thing. “I’m sorry for attacking you back. What were you doing out there in the first place?” My question hit him hard. His shoulders began to shake as he clasped his necklace. He was not just uncomfortable, he was scared, but not scared of us. “Ezra, we can’t help you unless you place some trust in us. We don’t want to hurt you. This is a conversation between you and me. Does this have to do with Blacktree?” His eyes darted to mine. “I thought so. I’m assuming they sent you after me.” He looked away from me and nodded. His eyes were troubled when he looked back after a few moments. He held a lot of pain within himself, and I hated that. It was something that I knew we all understood better than most. Everyone in life had to deal with their own pains and sorrows. Unfortunately, ours held a lot o

    EMMA “Thaddeus, Lucien,” I greeted, smiling at the guards as we approached the building again. They both looked happy that I remembered their names. They stood taller once they saw us before submitting themselves as well. I noticed that this pack desired to always show their best to their Alpha and now me by extension. When Xander took me to the clearing, he said that the wolves were showing off for me, trying to impress me. I wondered if these counterparts sensed what I was to become. Wolves typically had better intuition when it came to things like that. “Luna, Alpha,” they bowed their heads with smiles on their faces. ‘We knew you’d be the perfect Luna for us,’ Kai murmured happily. I blushed, remembering those words from earlier. ‘Doll, if you can keep your dirty thoughts under control, we’ll reward you,’ he promised. Fuck me. I reigned in every ounce of self-control I had. They both felt my determination, and I finally began feeling their emotions again. It was like a weight

    EMMA Ezra took in all that I said and mulled it over. I felt his happiness towards my relationship with Xander, and I felt his hatred towards Ezekiel. Wait, how could I feel it? I shot a questioning look to Xander who was just watching our exchange carefully. Ezra patted my linked arm comfortingly before removing his hand. It was a very simple but genuine gesture. “You seem like you are a natural Luna. You showed compassion and patience when it was not necessary. You are also offering up a room in your packhouse. The way you speak to your people shows how much you care for them. These things are not taught. They are innate.” I smiled softly with his words. Hearing it from an outside opinion, one not tied to me at all, made me feel a bit better about how I was doing as Luna so far. We had yet to go through the official ceremony or anything yet, but everyone had already taken to addressing me and treating me as their Luna. The ceremony would link me to the pack, but I was still their

    EMMA I did not have much time to take in and figure out how I felt about the whole bonding thing because I heard the front door close and hopped down from the counter. Ezra came around the corner, looking much different than even an hour ago. I wondered if that was how it was when I came here before I felt comfortable. There were times when my thoughts wondered what transpired between them saving me and me waking up in this territory. I just never asked because I could not bear see either of their faces when they told me. I could only imagine what Ezekiel and Heath said. “Johnson got them the food?” I asked. I forced my negative thoughts away and gave him a smile. I wanted him to feel comfortable and welcomed here. I needed to make sure he had everything he wanted. I believed Xander when he explained about the bonding, so that automatically made me feel responsible for him. Even if there had not been the bonding, I would still feel that way because Ezra deserved kindness. “Yes, Lu

    EMMA Soft butterfly kisses danced along my skin. I sighed and leaned into the feeling. The kisses were whispers that sent sparks along my skin. So pleasant. “Time to wake up, my Luna,” lips whispered into the shell of my ear before nipping my earlobe. “No,” I whispered back, angling my neck for more of his kisses. No matter how much I got from them, I still felt starved afterwards. They always knew how to take care of me though. I never doubted that. What Kai wanted to try made me nervous, sure, but I trusted him. When I saw him holding back, it tugged at me because they should be able let go and fully enjoy themselves. I was sturdy. Honestly, it was the most incredible feeling to be filled with him like that. I opened my eyes to the most beautiful silver rings. “Morning, handsome,” I said. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. Our lips set an unhurried pace. It was soft, sweet, and very intimate. I owed Xander for switching us to the same room instead o

    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
