I was frantic, asking Sagon what the fuck happened. My mind remembering Noah bound by chains and being drained caused me painful anxiety. I refused to have the same thing happen to my precious child. My eyes had turned black and Noah held me with concern."Can I transport using this amulet as my wolf?" I questioned them both, holding up the green stone hanging around my neck by a leather cord. My wolf was pacing within my mind as my blue hellfire crackled in the air around me. Noah shrugged, "you won't know unless you try. You need help undressing?" I glared at him, feeling as if he wasn't taking our missing child seriously."Our daughter could be getting drained, Noah, or at the worse…raped. I don't feel like it's a time for playfulness," I growled as I ripped my shirt off. Noah looked ashamed and explained that he didn't mean it that way."Nevermind, I'm joining you," he mumbled as he began undressing. Sagon said he was too and turned around as we got naked. I shifted and was shocked
"Your eyes have been turning black a lot, Raven. How much of yourself DID you give her?" Lucifer questioned Noah. He glanced over at me and brushed my cheek with his knuckles as he grinned. I grinned at him and my eyes changed back to their amber hue."Enough to keep her at my side," he answered."I thought your cousin and the elf were supposed to keep that psycho locked up?" I asked in disappointment. Lucifer shrugged and frowned. Sagon asked if he could have a word with us both and I noticed the small fang marks on his neck and smiled. We excuse ourselves to dress quickly and tell them we would meet with them outside. I asked Noah if he noticed the mate mark on Sagon's neck and he grinned as he shook his head. We headed downstairs and outside joining the pair once again near the lawn by the house."Is Jasira gratified in her bedroom…nude by chance? Perhaps with a fresh mate mark on her neck?" I teased Sagon and his cheeks turned crimson and he nodded. I clapped my hands and hugged hi
I was panting, my contractions were coming more frequently. Asilynn didn't care as she inserted a needle into my vein and had my blood draining into a golden cup she planned to drink from. I'd been put into a metal bar cell in the basement of her palace. I was thankful that I was only wearing Ezra's t-shirt he'd given me so my children could come into the world free from a spandex barrier. The queen had left me and only the sorceress called Morgana was standing outside of the metal bars keeping an eye on me."You know if your child is born within this realm they'll be considered a fae child and will inherit the magic of the fairies with whatever you've already given them," Morgana said softly as I groaned "what the fuck," with another strong contraction. Is that what the Goddess meant when she said they were important, I asked my wolf mentally. Adria told me probably and I cringed with the concept. I was laid back on the straw-covered ground as I pushed."I see a black-haired head," Mo
Noah rushed up to Morgana and grabbed her arm, jerking her back and away from Nyx. Both of them were surprised that the magic around them both did not affect him."Take me to my twins or die, witch," he demanded forcefully. Morgana sighed and asked to speak with me for a moment. I watched her coming toward me wringing her hands nervously. She stood before me. I sat Amora down and crossed my arms."I um, I am not wed to the Goblin prince, Piras…I would love to be though and I know for a fact your babies are being well cared for. I pretended that they were mine and said as much in the magical note addressed to Piras. I truly didn't mean any foulness toward you and I will go straight away to the Goblin's castle and retrieve them for you. I'm just afraid that I may get killed for my deception and my sister would be alone," she mumbled sadly as she looked down at the young girl. I watched her run her fingers through her sister's shiny black hair with care. "Noah and I will go with you so
"Have you ever danced with the devil, your highness?" Noah asked the goblin prince. Piras narrowed his eyes at my mate and growled ferociously, "No fool, I only enjoy females!" Noah shook his head and explained his question more clearly."Let me be more direct. I am a blood descendant of Lucifer which makes those two children descendants of his as well. I can have him come here directly if you wish to test my claim," Noah announced boldly. Piras started to laugh and slapped his bare knee. "Oh, this will be fun. I don't believe you Mr. Brinx. I highly doubt that you are a relative of the devil himself," he chuckled deeply and I watched Noah produce an amulet into his palm."Where did you have that?" I questioned him and he grinned."I found my angel magic with Keran's training. It's the key to controlling my darkness as well," he told me proudly and tapped the stone a few times in rapid succession. Large black wings filled the space with Lucifer running his fingers through his shoulder
We all appeared in the middle of a dense forest and I glanced around at the huge redwood trees as I gripped the green stone I'd taken from the corpse of the queen. I gasped as all the children began to grow before our eyes. The boys looked like middle schoolers and Amora was an older teen."Where did you take us, Raven?" Noah shouted, setting the larger Faelon to the ground. I curse thinking I made a horrible mistake. Morgana smiled looking down at herself grown up once again. Both our sons and Amora were covering their nude bodies. The clothing they had been wearing ripped to shreds at their feet. Both girls were eyeing my fit sons in appreciation. I grabbed some branches with leaves upon them and handed them to the three nude children. Morgana surprisingly giggled and waved her hand over the bunch dressing them with crude coverings. I thanked her before hearing furious howls in the distance. "We've been spotted, don't freak out and just remain calm," I said firmly. My growing sons s
I stood there staring at Noah and could see his eyes looking pained. "Forget it, I'm going back to the children," I growled. I asked Rune in Russian where the restroom was and he gave me directions. I smiled and thanked him as I left them both, closing the door behind me. "Are you aware of anything, wolfy? Has Keir shared with you?" I asked Adria quietly. She whined and informed me that Keir has been very distant the past few days and hadn't spoken to her. That was concerning. I sighed and glanced down the hall and saw Faelon still running around. I called out to him and told him to follow after me. I looked down at him and asked what he meant about his father. He glanced up at me and was chewing on his lip, his small fangs were showing."I can't say for certain but it has to do with the darkness within him," he said solemnly and I nodded as I ruffled his black hair. I stopped at the door to the bathroom and waved him inside. He smiled and rushed inside, shutting the door quickly.
I wiped my eyes and sat the letter down. "I'm too late. I should have suggested it when Noah was still here," I said softly and told Rune thanks for the food but I no longer wished to eat. I placed the tray by my feet and rolled to my side facing away from them both. I heard Rune's low growling and him telling Morgana to leave us. The door closed and I peeked back over my shoulder to see him cutting the steak up into bite-size pieces. I turned back around and asked what he was doing."What does it look like?" He asked. He speared a piece of steak and held it near my mouth."Eat Raven, we are all worried about you. Your sons keep asking for you. I've stepped in and I'm teaching them how to be men but they need their mother," he said sternly as I bit the piece off the fork."Why do you care, Rune?" I asked curiously and inhaled deeply when his yellow eyes glowed up at me. "I'm doing this for my half-brother who couldn't stop talking about you after he met you at Lucifer's," he said st
I returned to the Northern pack with Dagon in Rune's shell. I was still rather confused by the whole soul jumping and the prediction Circe had given me so long ago. Dagon explained that she was probably confused by seeing souls being swapped and just formed a reasonable reading. I shrugged as I leaned back on the couch filling out a decree to have all the packs call King Noah his new name Dagon. I signed it and handed it to Sköll who happened to be there staring at my swollen baby bump which had increased in size in a short amount of time."When this baby grows up I'd like to give him back the position. We can go to Colorado or hell," I said softly to Dagon and he nodded. His yellow eyes were glowing and following me around."We can do whatever you like, sweetheart, as long as we are together," he said sincerely. I chuckled and glanced over at him."So we are wed?" I asked him and he chuckled, pulling me onto his lap."Yes Raven, you are my wife, true mate, and the keeper of my heart,"
The Western pack reminded me instantly of home; it was even set in the same layout as my father's pack in Siberia. There were pack houses around a town center with a fish pond. Children were feeding them with pellets and joyous giggles filled the air making me smile. I squeezed Noah’s hand and he grinned down at me but it didn't reach his eyes causing me concern. "Did he have a bad break up with this Jax fellow, wolfy?" I asked Adria within my mind and she told me she didn't know and neither had Remus. I chewed on my bottom lip as we continued down a paved walkway towards a lovely Victorian isk house tucked away between large silver birch trees. "I don't think this is wise," Noah mumbled and I eyed him as I pulled on his arm."You look like Rune, perhaps he hasn't been told about your soul transfer," I offered and he grew stern. He nodded and continued. We headed up the stairs to the porch and Noah asked me to knock."Do I look presentable?" I asked curiously and he glanced over at me
I spotted a sign that read "Welcome to Wolfhaven" and pointed it out to Noah."How ironic," my wolf chortled in my mind, making me giggle. The pack members that were wandering through the town stopped when they saw Noah and me and nodded their heads at us. My mouth fell open at the three huge males that came forward and stood before us asking us to come with them. Noah grinned slightly and asked them if they were going to escort us to Sasha. The three looked between themselves and chuckled as they nodded."Certainly, your highness, come this way," they smiled."Can you tell me a bit about Sasha?" Noah asked the largest one of them. He side-eyed Noah and nodded."She is the daughter of Alpha Ash of the Americas," he said solemnly. I thought about it and didn't know who Alpha Ash was and Noah didn't have a clue either. So we traveled to the large home in the distance without further conversation. The largest male did tell us his name was Marcus as he yelled out for Kellum.The home's do
Faust came up the stairs along with Jasira and Bjorn. They hugged Faelon too and I was bawling my eyes out at the amount of support they were giving one another. "I missed you so much dad, I thought you abandoned me and fell so low," Faelon sobbed and Noah pulled him to his chest and told him he'd never abandon his children. "I love you all and am proud of each of you. Even you Bjorn," he said sincerely."You better, I am your double-g's left hand after all," Bjorn chuckled and patted Faelon's back. I overheard him ask Faelon how he'd snuck out and Faelon smirked and told him it was a secret. That concerned me a bit. I didn't want him to get into trouble with the devil. The Elders circled all of us to give our family some privacy and Fiana told us the crowd had stopped watching our show and were entertaining themselves. I thanked her and watched Noah taking Faelon off to the side to speak with him in private. "I'm being summoned by the big guy, mom. Love you and hope to see you mor
I noticed that my son Faust was sitting alone sipping on a glass of wine all by himself. He felt my eyes on him and glanced over at me. He gestured if he could join me and I nodded. He walked up and lifted one of the unoccupied chairs carrying it over next to me."No luck finding a female,'' I asked him pointedly and he shrugged."Aren't you worried about waking up dad?" He asked, changing the subject. I grinned slightly and shook my head."The man can sleep through a volcano erupting," I said softly and Faust laughed."Do you think Faelon is the way he is because I wasn't, well Noah and I weren't there to raise him?" I asked curiously. What Noah had said bothered me. Faust looked at me and sighed."Hearing of dad's death shook him more so. I think that was a pivotal piece that broke him. His demon side has fallen and that's unheard of even in hell. Lucifer is learning much from his existence," he said sadly."So he's a bad egg all around eh?" I mumbled sourly and Faust laughed."He ju
I splashed Noah's smug face and he pulled me under the clear water. We hadn't skinny dipped since we were children and memories flooded us as we played instead of washing up ourselves. We were unaware of the large wolves watching us from within the foliage, having too much fun enthralled with each other. Noah stopped and emitted a low growl as he glanced off in this distance."Go to the right side of the lake and dress quickly. We have some unwanted company," he said roughly and began transforming into a huge black wolf. I gasped, not ever seeing him in this particular form. He was much more like Sköll than a normal wolf. He stood bipedal on large haunches and growled at me to hurry. I swam quickly to the side and dressed as I watched him exiting the water. He shook out his black fur and yelled for the ones in hiding to show themselves."It's Lorenzo and his henchmen, Remus tells me that they are unhappy with Noah being the king of Dexter's pack," my wolf growls. "Well, then they'll
We entered the house and my mom asked Abby to go home and bring back some makeup and her dangling diamond earrings. Abby nodded and disappeared from the room. She was only gone a few minutes and reappeared with her arms full."You're still a bit bruised, honey and you should look perfect for this special occasion," my mother, Emma said softly lifting my chin as she scanned my face. I smiled at her."Are you going to use the lace dress?" She asked curiously and I nodded. She told me to go up and get it on and she would help me look like a lovely queen when I finished. I went to my old bedroom and pulled out the lovely lace summer dress from the closet. The dress was stunning and after putting it on over my matching bra and panty set I felt lovely. I was certain I'd knock Noah’s sock off. I finished looking at my reflection and headed back downstairs. When the others looked up at me a collective ahh filled the air. I smiled as I descended the stairs."This will work?" I asked and the th
We tumbled into the living room and I fell back against the ornery man grabbing me from behind. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes."I'd like to have a word with Sagon, Faust, and Jasira…please join me in the kitchen," Noah announced. I turned to him and patted him on his chest. His eyes glowed down at me full of mischief."You just wait, sweetheart…paybacks," he growls softly and I told him I looked forward to it with a sultry grin and wink. It was odd seeing Rune with his rugged good looks and actually being Noah the more I thought about it. My mother and father along with Noah’s parents were all smiles."Did you tell mother?" I asked my father curiously and he informed me that Abby had. I nodded and went to sit down beside her."Are you okay with all this?" She asked in concern. I explained that I visited Rune's soul and felt that all would be well. She smiled and hugged me."At least there's no reason for you to stab Noah with a fork now and his darkness has truly left
My dad exited the kitchen with an odd look on his face and announced that we could get coffee now. His yellow eyes looked up at me in concern. My brow furrowed and I headed toward him. "What's wrong dad?" I asked curiously and he grins and rubbed his hand down my arm. "Just know that all will turn out for the best, okay kiddo," he grins and I nod, wondering if Rune told him what I had decided on about Noah. I didn't press it and asked if he'd poured himself a cup. He nodded, lifting a steaming cup I hadn't noticed. Smiling, I entered the kitchen and saw Rune and a crying Ezra hugging him tightly. The pair were outside on the porch. Rune turned and saw me in the window and smiled at me. I grinned slightly and he winked. I laughed and began pouring cups of coffee for our guests. I kept my eyes on Ezra's odd behavior. He wiped his eyes and was smiling brightly once again. I shook my head and sipped my coffee alone at the kitchen table after passing out the cup to the others. When they
