Finally their bond is 100% complete!!!
“You look happy,” Liliana teases with Anarchy in her arms, when I walk out of my den with my mates behind me.“You have no idea, it feels good to have all of them home, where are my pups?” I ask, looking around for them, hearing a young girl giggling.“Eya has them, and has been getting help from Dolly,” Liliana answers with a smile, when Freya comes in holding Aiden on her hip as she comes over with a burp cloth for Liliana.“Dolly?” I question, looking to the living room to see Eya and Gideon with Gunnar and Roan in their arms, as a small girl with wet red hair sits on Gideon wearing one of his shirts.“The little hybrid girl Embry brought home before joining the battle, they found her in a cave on their way home,” Freya answers, as I look back to Embry and Jonathan who are watching the little girl with sweet smiles.“My men say she wasn’t in great shape when they found her, apparently she really likes Jonathan and Embry,” Freya adds making me smile and nod, knowing Embry is great w
“You’re quite the young girl, do you know what being yours means?” Osric questions Phoenix, making her smile and growl playfully. “He neber goes away, he here all times when I sad and hurt, he saves and protec us. Roan lil sister too,” Phoenix answers while reaching up and grabs Roan’s tiny hand. “You’re so amazing, it’s a good thing my mates brought you here, most people would use a little girl with your abilities. It’s our duty to keep you safe and give you a real childhood,” I softly speak while brushing my fingers through Phoenix’s long hair, and she blushes. “You keep promises, you find my daddies and keep us safe from the weally bad man,” Phoenix reassures, making my mates chuckle and nod.“I have no doubt Raven will keep you safe, she’s very good at protecting those she loves, and being our little boys mate makes you family,” Osric smiles as Embry relaxes in his arms, clearly having missed being so close. “I know,” Phoenix replies matter-of-factly, making me giggle and
*** Vision Continued *** “Raven it is enough I let you name our son after my bastard of a brother, get your ass over to the table and eat before I call Jonathan in here to force you,” Orin snarls in my ear with his fingers digging into my shoulders while tears stream down my face. “After you killed him for trying to save me from you. Call Jonathan in here, he can’t make me do anything and you know it,” I look him dead in the eye knowing he has hardly anything to bargain with anymore. “Fine if Jonathan can’t get you to eat then you can stay in this tower away from our son and daughters, and I’ll put your pet out in the cold cells and let him freeze,” Orin chuckles turning away from me. I grow tense hearing his shoes on the stone floor knowing I’ll have to give in. I might hate him and what he’s done to me and my family, but I can’t turn my back on my children, and I will do what I can to protect the two mates I have. “I’ll eat, but he and Jonathan stay in the tower,” I look over i
“Jonathan, Raven, look at me,” I hear Embry’s near frantic voice, when I hear a soft sob coming from someone near me.“It’s ok Phoenix, it’s not real, it never happened,” Embry’s voice continues to pull me out of the vision and back to my current surroundings.I’m still sitting with Jonathan while Phoenix sobs into Embry’s shoulder, with a death grip on him.“You, never apologize for what you did again,” I hug Jonathan as tight as I can wanting to be in the arms of all my mates.“I won’t,” his voice comes out rough, like he has been crying.Osric’s arms warp around us making me wonder who has Roan and Gunnar.“I can’t lose any of you,” I whisper, letting their scents relax me when I feel Phoenix’s little hands pulling at my arm.“Come here, I’m ok,” I reassure, feeling that she is upset and anxious from seeing me so broken in the vision.“I sowy Raben, I saw it bad. I didn’t knows it be dat bad, pwease don’t let the weally bad man win. If he wins it eben worse,” Phoenix sobs into my
“Alpha Oswic can I hold Gunnar?” Phoenix asks watching Osric take a drink of a beer with Gunnar laying against his chest.“If you sit down with you dads,” Osric answers while walking over to them as Phoenix situates herself on her dads laps sitting on each of their legs.“Mine,” she giggles while reaching up for Gunnar, making my mates chuckle at how obsessed she is with him.“He’s not yours, he is theirs,” Benjamin chuckles, brushing her hair from her face and she shakes her head letting out a growl as she pulls Gunnar closer when he hits her lap.“No, he mine! They hers, Daddy yours,” Phoenix scolds Benjamin, making Ares snort and cover his mouth to avoid laughing. Phoenix continues to let out a low grow as she shakes her head, giving Benjamin a dirty look that would frighten just about anyone if they didn’t know better.“Gunnar is your mate?” Ares questions, making Benjamin’s brows shoot up into his dark hair line.I nod my head as Osric sits next to Jonathan, who is sitting closes
“Come here sit and I’ll braid your hair for tonight,” Embry sits on Jonathan who grunts, since he is already sitting at the head of the bed. “You could give me some warning before you sit,” Jonathan groans, adjusting where Embry’s ass sits making me giggle as Osric lays me in front of them. “I could but I didn’t want to, Osric can you grab the brush and the box of hair ties?” Embry asks while grabbing my hips pulling me to where I’m sitting in front of him. “Do you need anything else?” Osric asks while standing at the bathroom door watching me, as I lean back against Embry. “A comb,” Embry answers, making Osric nod as he goes into the bathroom to grab everything. “I like I when you do my hair,” I yawn, looking up at Jonathan and Embry making them smile. “I know, I’m sorry we weren’t here to protect you,” Embry softly speaks, kissing my forehead, as Jonathan gently caresses my cheek. “We should have been with you, I’m sorry I couldn’t get us out sooner,” Jonathan apologizes, rest
Liliana’s POV “Is Raven, ok?” Freya questions, putting Aiden down as we sit in the living room where Kitty is talking to Alpha Benjamin and his mate Ares. “She’ll be ok, she’s having a hard time after losing he baby and seeing her mates die, she felt their bonds break,” I answer, letting Freya take my beautiful Anarchy as I continue to hold my beautiful niece, Roan. “I’ve only just found you and Ryder, and I can’t imagine losing either of you. I would raise hell to save you,” Freya admits making me blush and rest my head against hers. “You won’t have to worry about losing us, I know you would and Raven nearly did. She let her rage take over and killed every enemy warrior there without thinking, I’m not sure what would have happened if I couldn’t get through to her,” I confess while looking down at Roan, as she starts babbling. “I’m so glad I wasn’t there I would have lost my mind seeing you that close to Raven when she was like that. I can feel the power coming from you and her, I
“So Ares, Embry says you and Benjamin are having trouble with your Elders and making you Luna of Silver Moon?” Raven questions as she cuts up some onions for soup. “Yes, they don’t like that he doesn’t have a proper Luna to give him an heir,” Ares answers while looking back at the couch towards Benjamin and Phoenix, making my heart clench feeling sad for him. “Can’t Benjamin override the Elders since he’s Alpha and a Lycan Alpha?” Freya questions, making Raven and I both shake our heads. “No Osric had the same problem with Embry before I was found. It’s actually how Eya was born,” Raven answers before I get the chance, making Kitty roll her eyes clearly not agreeing with the policy. “I don’t care how smart these Elders think they are, they have no business questioning my mate bonds. No one would make a better Luna to rule by Alpha Benjamins side than you Ares,” Mummo adds her two cents, making Raven giggle as my brow furrows. “Your mate bonds?” I ask, not quite sure what she means
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be grumpy I just don’t like not knowing what’s going on, at least get them closer to the house and surrounded by the Delta warriors,” Osric apologizes, brushing my hair back and I nod. “Don’t be sorry, I love that you’re protective of us. Roan is starting to smell pretty ripe, so I’ll take them in to change them. Organize Karen and Bjorn to protect Liliana and her pups, as well as Phoenix and Ares. If there is a threat, we will handle it and be prepared,” I reassure, reaching up and placing my hand on the side of his face trusting his instincts. “I will, Jonathan, stay with Raven,” Osric orders, making me turn and roll my eyes before heading towards our house. “Mumma Raven, is evewy thing ok?” Phoenix skips her way towards me, pulling Ares behind her. “Yeah, Roan has a dirty diaper, so I need to take them inside to change her,” I answer with a nod, as Kitty comes over and stands beside Ares like she’s watching over them. “Can we help?” Phoenix questions
“Kitty will make an excellent Beta, she’s a great choice Ben. Good news is Raven won’t have to miss her all the time, since we’ll be visiting your pack and you’ll be visiting ours frequently, so Phoenix and Gunnar are able to see each other,” Osric’s gruff voice chimes in, and I nod agreeing to his point. “Yes, and she’ll be a great female influence for Phoenix, I know she’ll make sure Ares and Phoenix are always safe. I’m pleased you both agree and give your blessing,” Benjamin smiles, when my eyes follow his to see Phoenix smiling and giggling at Roan trying to crawl to her. “Oh, I have no doubt of that, she has been training the women of Wolf Creek, and brought several women from Shadow Peak with her when fleeing from Alpha Lucas. Kitty is very strong and is great leadership material, she has a way of connecting with people,” Osric admits, and I nod, unable to keep my eyes from drifting back and forth between Benjamin and Phoenix, who glances up with a smile that’s identical to Be
“Luna Raven, we are proud to call you our Luna, there has never been someone more worthy of the title. You have protected us and saved our Alphas against dangerous enemies, I Gamma Bjorn swear my loyalty and the loyalty of Blood Moon’s Deltas to you and your mates, to be here at your disposal, to do your biding and carry out any orders you deem necessary,” Bjorn steps forward and kneels at my feet, when Blood Moons Deltas follow suit. My heart races when I feel hot tears drip down my cheeks as pride floods through the bond. “Thank you, Gamma Bjorn, it is an honor to be your Luna and know you have such faith in me,” I thank him between deep breaths, trying to calm my nerves when my mates flood the bond with soothing thoughts and feelings. “Luna Raven, I Osric Bloodwrath your mate and Alpha King of the Bloodwrath Kingdom, submit to you and swear my loyalty to your rule and judgement. Not only are you my Luna, you are my equal and I wish to rule by your side, never above you,” Osric ta
“Wow,” Jonathan’s voice comes from behind me, I look up to see most of both packs here standing on both sides of an aisle leading towards Helena, who is standing at an arch way.The arch is carved, four huge posts decorated with Norse knots up the pillars coming together with wolves and a raven in the center.“Wow,” I gasp, seeing it decorated with hanging flowers, making it look like it’s straight out of a fairy tale.“The pack is very excited to finally have its Luna and to welcome its new Alpha,” Embry mentions, grabbing Jonathan’s hand, leading him down the aisle between the crowd.“Ready?” Osric asks, standing in front of me and watches me blush with a gentle nod.“I think so, it’s about time, isn’t it?” I question, knowing not only do I want to be his Luna, but Blood Moon really is ready to accept me as such“It really is, I’m very proud of you,” Osric gently presses his lips to my forehead.“Me too,” I smile, then quickly kiss his lips, letting him escort me to the arch where N
“Damn, I’m not sure who looks better,” Embry’s voice comes from the bathroom as Jonathan, and I finish getting dressed for tonight. “Jonathan,” I giggle, staring at Jonathan’s hair that is braided back into a mohawk. I smile seeing he is wearing dark gray woolens with a weapons belt and remains bare chested like Osric and Embry, making him look like a Viking God. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that,” Jonathan chuckles while looking me up and down, making my cheeks turn bright red. All three of them stare at the red linen chemise gown under the under bust black corset, that is intricately decorated with gold lined filigree. I am also wearing a matching Victorian age sleeveless double-breasted tailcoat over the top showing off the loose peasant sleeves of the chemise. “You guys only like this dress because the corset shoves my milk filled boobs up into my face, I can use them as pillows,” I roll my eyes and shake my head while turning to button up the coat. “You are stunning Bunny,”
“Hey, there you are,” Jonathan whispers while pulling me higher up in his arms as I look around to see I’m on the floor in his lap, with Osric and Embry on either side of us.“He tried taking me,” I softly speak while looking up at my mates, and Jonathan nods.“He won’t get anywhere near you again, we will keep you safe,” Osric reassures as he leans against Jonathan while grabbing my hand and kissing my knuckles.“He’ll do the same to Roan if he ever gets his hands on her, he’s working with witches it’s how he has stayed hidden,” I panic while sitting up to see, my father, Liliana, Ryder, Benjamin, Ares, Kitty, and Phoenix all standing around us watching me in concern.“He never gets dem,” Phoenix reassures, leaning towards me from Ares arms making me nod.“I don’t let him, Gunnar pwotects us,” Phoenix adds, making me smile, knowing she can see some of what’s to come.“Orin saved me from him, and you betrayed Orin then to protect us. You were always around after that,” I look up
Trigger Warning: Child Abuse“Raven you won’t remember this, it’s going to be ok,” Rebecca tries to walk over and comfort me, when my claws slip through my fingers slashing at her cutting into the soft flesh of her belly.“Fuck! You stupid little bitch!” Rebecca screams at me, kicking the bars crushing my fingers making me yelp and growl angrily not understanding the hate radiating from my mother.“I thought she hasn’t shifted?” Dagon questions while getting up and walking over to look me over.“She hasn’t,” Rebecca answers, her eyes are blown wide while looking down at her stomach she is now holding.It quickly dawns on me this must have been right around the time I did shift for the first time; I can see the heat emanating from my body as my eyes are glowing a brilliant shade of red.“Ruby what is this?” I question, seeing her standing behind the younger me trying to pull me away from the bars, when I realize she’s younger too.‘This is a memory, something buried and suppressed,’ cu
“How are you feeling about today?” Mummo questions, when I walk into the kitchen looking for some juice with Gunnar in my arms. “I’m excited, I can feel how excited everyone in Wolf Creek is for tonight,” I admit, grabbing the juice, for Mummo to grab the bottle from my hand as she has a glass already on the counter. “He is so precious; you did an excellent job with your pups. Of course, Wolf Creek is excited, you’re their Alpha, and you have changed their lives for the better. I’ve never seen Wolf Creek prosper so well, nor have I seen a pack where there are so little domestic issues among mates,” Mummo admits, pouring me a glass of juice when I look back hearing Roan fussing behind me. “What’s wrong?” I ask, watching Jonathan bringing our daughter whose face is bright red nearly matching her hair. “Oh, she thinks she is starving, and I apparently don’t have the goods,” Jonathan explains making Mummo laugh quietly, and I nod, knowing the twins aren’t due to be nursed. “I just nur
“Shhhh, what’s the matter?” I sooth Roan, scooping her up from the center of the bed surrounded by pillows that smell of my mates. “Oh, you’re a stinky girl, and I’m sure you’re hungry too,” I nearly gag at the smell of her diaper as her cries turn into soft sobs and whimpers. “Hey, stop your crying, Mumma has you,” I reassure, carrying her over to the changing table with fresh diapers and cloths to wash her with. “You’re so pretty like your Da, you have his hair, even the curls,” I giggle while laying her down staring at her beautiful locks that are identical to Embry’s. Roan quickly calms down at my voice and touch, making my heart melt at how easy it is to sooth my pup. “Your brother snores like both Da’s and can sleep through anything…” “Just like his Mum,” Osric interrupts me while coming into the room with a towel wrapped low around his hips. “I don’t sleep that heavy,” I laugh, and shake my head at Osric’s comment while glancing over at Gunnar who is in a deep sleep spraw
