“The Moon Goddess made you for me and I didn’t damn her for it. I thanked her for blessing me with someone so amazing,” Viktor said sweetly.“You still think so after seeing all of my crazy colors?” I asked.“Always,” Viktor said. “Do you love Jake?”“Yes,” I whimpered.“Do you think of him any differently now that we know who his fated mate is?” Viktor asked.“No,” I whispered. “But… I couldn’t forgive him if he’s slept with her. Could you?” I asked.“I love him Kacie. I love him as much as I love you. I would be hurt if we found out that he’d been with her. But…”“But?” I asked.“Yes. But. I would forgive him if he officially rejected her. If he still chose us after finding her I wouldn’t turn him away,” Viktor said.“I-I don’t know, Vik…”“However, if you don’t want him to stay by our side… I will respect your decision. If you want to end our relationship with him… It would break me but I would do as you say, My Queen,” Viktor murmured.“I don’t know. I don’t want to talk about thi
After hours of tears, loving touches, and kisses Viktor and I lay snugged up in bed. Hours had passed since we had breakfast. It was either lunch or almost dinner time now. I should be get food, I should be hungry, but I wasn’t. My mind was reeling with what should and how should. I was now faced with a different feeling.I was pregnant and in just a few months I would be a mother. I would be responsible for another and would have my mates, or mate by my side. We didn’t have much time left before the baby would be here.We needed to figure out this issue with Jake and we needed to do it fast. I would not have this drag over months. I wouldn’t hope for him to choose us. I wouldn’t let months pass with uncertainty. We needed to know what he wanted, really wanted.Today we would need an answer. Time was ticking and we couldn’t just wait for it to figure itself out. If we were going to fix things than we needed to know today. We would need to work on it over the next few months but first,
We could have linked the kitchen for a meal to be brought up. It would have been easier and I could have stayed a in bed and been a gremlin. I wanted to stay comfy in bed and wait for Jake to come back. I wanted to stay in Viktor’s arms and have dinner in bed. I knew I needed to get up and walk around, so when he stood up and put me down on my feet I didn’t complain. When he offered me his hand, I ignored the instant need to whine and crawl back into bed. I grabbed his hand and he smiled knowingly. He turned without another word and I followed him toward the door. When we got downstairs we walked past pack members who were worried. Viktor hadn’t made an announcement to explain to our people so they didn’t know what happened. Some came up and wished me well and others thanked me for appearing okay. A few thanked the Moon Goddess, bowed, and said they were happy to see me. I needed to be better. I made a note to keep the pack members in the loop in the future. We would need to make an an
The room started to spin as we stared at her. The three of us remained frozen while the three words she uttered began to sink. We waited for her to smile, tell us it was a joke, or to say that it wasn’t true, but none of those things happened. None of it made sense. I had no enemies left living in this world. No one came to mind when I thought of an enemy, not even Clara. “Hurry! The pack needs you. I was with Delta John for a meeting when it happened. Telling you in person was the best course of action,” Jamie said. She straightened her back. “How can we be under attack?” I asked. “There is some tension with the other packs but no one comes to mind when I think of having the balls to attack us,” Jake said. He turned to Viktor but it was as if I saw a mask fall over my mates face. “What pack?” Jake asked. Viktor was Alpha and had many enemies. It seemed more likely that it would be a neighboring pack. “None,” Jamie panted. She shook her head. “It doesn’t matter who is attacking u
The two of them looked at me as if they weren’t sure if they believed me yet. Jake looked unsure of my promise but that didn’t matter. I wasn’t going to try and convince them and time was running out. We didn’t know how Delta John was holding up and Jake needed to leave as soon as possible if not five minutes ago. “See? She’s going to stay away from the fight and you’ll make sure she does just that, won’t you?” Jake asked. “Yes,” Viktor growled. “Good. So we don’t need to worry,” Jake whispered. Jake stared into Viktor’s eyes, he turned to me, but Viktor pulled him back to him hard. Jake collided with his chest with an oomph. He inhaled a shaky breath as Viktor hugged him tight. Jake wrapped his arms around his waist and breathed in Viktor’s scent. I watched them embrace each other and ignored the thought that if something happened to one of them, this would be the last time I saw them together. “Don’t get hurt,” Viktor demanded. “Never,” Jake whispered. He unwrapped his arms fr
Kacie“What about her?” I asked.Even as I asked the question all of my fears came together and piece by piece it was clear. Still I hoped that Clara would have something to say, to refute my fears. I knew though, as I stared into her eery light blue eyes filled with worry, that my fears had come true.“She left in the middle of the night and never came back. At the time I told myself that she was probably at a guys house or playing around…” Clara said.“What does that….”Clara ran her fingers through her hair and her earrings swayed left and right. She looked at“But now?” I whispered.“But now…” Clara whispered.“Where is she?” Viktor asked.“I don’t know… but wherever she is I know she can handle herself,” Clara said. She looked to me. “I’ll fight with you.”“And Nyx?” I asked.“I know she will too,” Clara said.As if she had been summoned, Nyx appeared in the doorway behind Clara. Her red hair was a wild fury of a mess, her gold bangles firmly in place despite looking like she’d j
Just over this hill, we would find our warriors, our deltas fighting against the elders. My mate came to a stop just atop the hill and I picked up my speed. I followed him with my sisters atop the hill and surveyed the scene before me. My hand dropped to my stomach and a gasp escaped from my lips as Nyx and Clara came to a stop by my side.The small village that stood here was no more. The homes had been stomped to the ground and bodies lay all over the ground. Blood covered the field and if we didn’t stop the enemy, we would be fighting in a pool of blood.The field was covered with our warriors fighting against the humanoids. Most of them looked just like the one I had battled the other day with Jade. I searched the field for her but couldn’t find her. Our warriors were putting up as much of a fight as the could against the large mud creatures. It had been almost impossible for me to bring the one I had fought against down. But I knew from that training session that it didn’t matter
Kacie The scene in front of me was ripped from my view as Clara tugged on my arm. The three of us made our way down the hill. We tried to stay out of sight as we made our way towards the back of the humanoid warriors. If we could remain unseen, we could look for Jade and deal with the elders without gaining the attention of the mud creatures. I hadn’t seen Jake but I prayed that wherever he was he was safe. We touched down on the ground level and ran through blood puddles. Our plan on remaining unseen fell through the cracks as a mud monster spotted us. It roared and ran toward us with his large arms reaching out for us. Before I could react it ran into an invisible barrier. I looked to my left and Clara looked up at the creature. Her hair flowed around her as her and I knew her magic was at work. Her darkness kept the creature from us. I looked at the invisible barrier and saw a flickering as it went back and forth. The wall turned into a box. The monster was trapped within it. The
