Morrigan’s POV Entering Selene’s realm, I feel entirely different. “Selene, will I ever be able to return here?”. She turns to me, taking my hand. “Typically my wolves do not have access to me, no. However, Emma is my own blood and you have always been my sister so you two have a direct link and may visit any time. Emma, will also learn this… in time of course”. “What happens when Emma’s body dies? Where will I go and what will happen to Kalen now that I am no longer celestial?”. Selene smiles, offering me to take a seat beside her. “When a human dies, their wolf returns to the fountain to be repaired with another human in future. Not all wolves are repaired. There must be a link. I promise that you and Kalen will always remain together, my darling. And Kalen will return to the fountain with you when it’s his time”. “Emma is no ordinary human, Morrigan. When the time comes, she will fill a very important role but until that time, she must thrive under your caref
Ruth’s POV We’ve been rushing around this tent all day and my feet are killing me. Dana has been super grumpy so I’ve been desperately trying to stay out of her way. Mom had to go with Emma to the hospital which has me worried. Suddenly my phone buzzes, “hey mom, is she ok?”. “Yeah, she’s fine. Morrigan is back which I think is what caused it but you’ll never guess what else… she’s having twins”. Whoa… “are you serious? Since when?”. Ian sees my face and comes walking over, “and her stomach is significantly bigger since Mor got back, it’s nuts. Anyway, good news yeah?”. I smile at my mate as he hugs me from behind, gently rubbing my belly. “Yeah mom, that’s great news. We’re finishing up in the tent. We’ll see ya at dinner”. Hanging up, I turn around to kiss Ian. “They’re having twins! And her wolf came back… freaking crazy”. Suddenly we hear something drop followed by a slew of curse words. Heading into the tent, I see a very overtired Dana picking s
Zak’s POV The minute I realized Dana was in heat, I went into panic mode. We have over a hundred unmated wolves in the territory and most are warriors. That scent can travel several miles. Thank god Ruth was there with her. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. When I finally get to the packhouse after a few scuffles, it has been locked down. Good. There’s only one way in at this point and only the family knows about it. I use the secret entrance and make my way upstairs. Getting to my apartment, I hear… Leo? How is he near her, he’s unmated. When he answers the door, he’s totally calm. He’s talking to me about being naked and showering. I notice the mark on his neck. “Are you mated?”, I blurt out. He lightly smacks my shoulder. “Out of everything I just said, you heard nothing?”. He looks towards the bathroom. “I was just confused as to how you could be here and be unaffected is all and yes, I do need to shower you’re right. I just want to check on her
Dana’s POV I don’t know how to describe the feeling that is building inside of me. As I lay here with Zak, I feel so blissful yet longing. I want to do things with him that I swore I would never do with any man, ever. No part of me is fighting this. I want him so badly and I don’t think it’s just the heat. As our kiss becomes more passionate, I need to be closer to him. I throw my leg over his waist. He gently uses it to pull me so I’m on top of him. I continue assaulting him with my mouth. I want to kiss every part of him. His shirt is pissing me off. Finally I start pulling on it, making him laugh. “What’s the magic word?”. I know he’s just teasing me now, so I decide to play his little game. I grab the hem on the shirt I’m wearing and yank it up and over, leaving me exposed. He looks first at my eyes and then at my body, running his fingers from my collar bone, down my shoulder to my breast and my thigh. “You are incredible Dana”. I can feel his erection under
Leo’s POV After the disaster earlier today, we were able to disable the house and just keep the suites under lock and key. I go to open the front door, forgetting about my earlier request to block off the entrance. Well shit. Shockingly, she did a decent job. My wolf pushes forward, “mate is small enough. She can fit through and get in the truck”. Sometimes… and I mean, very rarely, my wolf can have decent ideas. “Michelle, come hither!”. She giggles, coming over… “yes, my liege”, bowing. “You think you can crawl through there and climb inside to move the truck?”. She wiggles her fingers like a maniac, “we’ll find out won’t we”. She really is my perfect match. In a lot of ways, she reminds me so much of Emma. Their personalities mainly, though their eyes, are somewhat similar. She comes squealing back over, “can you believe that was my first time driving!? I did it!”. My face drops… “Let’s just keep that little secret between us shall we”. I pull her into a side
Dan’s POV Not being able to sleep, I decided to go for a walk. I laid in bed for a few hours until 3 am but I couldn’t stare at the ceiling any more. I start out of the building with my mug and my hoodie, enjoying the crisp cool air. I figured the time alone might help me think straight… maybe? “What are you doing up so early?”... the voice from the bench came out of nowhere, sending my mug flying. Well so much for coffee. I hear the old familiar cackle of the one and only Lee. “Grandpa, you scared the shit out of me”. He picks up the shards of my mug. I liked that mug. “Danny, my boy. In all the years I’ve known you… I haven’t once been able to scare you. What’s eating you son? And why on Selene’s green planet are you up this early?”. I eye the old man suspiciously. “One could ask you the same… also, where did you come from? I haven’t seen you around for some time”. Now that I think on it, where has he been? “I had to take care of some necessary business b
Lee’s POV. Making my rounds around the pavilion, I see so many happy faces. Faces of children whose lives are saved or those of women who will never know an unkind hand again. I nod and smile as I walk along, offering to help with small tasks as I go. Eventually, I find myself in a quiet, isolated wing. There is a shrine dedicated to Selene here. There I find a very young woman staring at the statue. I quietly approach and stand next to her. I feel for her aura but find none. She and her wolf are disjointed. This happens when there is significant trauma at an early age. My heart aches for this child. “Don’t feel sorry for me”. Her words are confident but her voice is weak. Spoken like a true warrior. She’s been fighting for a long time. “Pity is for those who do not deserve salvation. I do not pity you my dear girl, I simply hope for your healing”. I feel her curiously eyeing me. “What happened to your wolf if I may ask?”. Our gaze still hasn’t left the sta
Danny’s POV *Ring*Ring*, “Yeah?”... “Transport is here”. Fucking great. “Okay, I’ll be there shortly. Let Liam know please”. Hanging up, I head out of the office to find Lee. Where has the old man escaped to? That man I swear. I wander around until I hear voices in the back kitchen. I hear an unfamiliar, faint female voice that perks my wolf’s ears. Getting close enough, I hear grandpa talking. It’s my mate and she’s telling him about her childhood as an orphan. She goes on to mention the last year at Erik’s pack and without realizing, the door frame crumbles beneath my fist. Shit. I stand just outside the kitchen, listening to them finish talking as my heart silently breaks. How can I ever be what she needs me to be? How will she ever accept a mate after what she’s been through? My phone buzzes, reminding me I need to find Liam. Walking down the corridor, I hang up with Zak. We all arrange to meet at the prison to discuss next steps. We still have to de
