Raven’s POV“How is your hip feeling?” Jonathan questions once Ares finishes wiping everything clean, and I smile.“Not bad, it’s mostly healed. Ares thank you it is so beautiful,” I can’t help staring down at the giant knotted red raven on my hip and thigh, falling in love with my first tattoo. The pattern is an intricate thick band with dark red edges, lightening towards the center overlapping itself creating knots.“You’re welcome, thank you for letting me do such an amazing piece, it suits you, you guide our people well,” Ares brushes his blonde hair out of his face, then hugs me and I nod very proud that I have others believing in me.“I know it’s an odd ask, but could you teach me to tattoo?” I question, staring down at my tattoo absolutely adoring the knot work Ares did, getting very excited for the wolves I plan to get eventually.“Why is it an odd ask, no one just knows how to tattoo without either trial and error, or a teacher. I would be honored to teach you,” Ares agrees w
“I fucking love your kilt,” I smile seeing Embry come out of the closet with his kilt on, carrying a pair of boots.“Damn, so do I,” Jonathan chuckles, as he leans back with Gunnar, checking out Embry’s ass.“Embry always looks good in his kilt and tunic,” Osric admits, walking into the closet wearing a pair of black woolens, as I am already in my dress and swaying with Roan in my arms.“Look at your Dadas, they all look so handsome,” I softly speak to my daughter, as I check out Jonathan who is wearing a pair of suede leather pants with one of Embry’s black tunics, leaving it open at the top.“Of course, we do, we wouldn’t dream of making Mumma look bad, we all know she likes to walk out there with some man candy on her arm,” Embry jokes, sitting on the lounge as he begins to pull his fur rimmed boots on.“Damn right I do, I love showing off what’s mine,” I admit with flushed cheeks, as Osric comes out shirtless with a pair of black leather boots in hand that are similar to Jonathan’
“Come over here and sit by the fire,” I suggest, looking over to see several blankets laid out near the fires for children to sit or play with their parents.“Jonathan,” Osric reaches out for Jonathan’s hand and follows Embry and I to the blanket where we sit near the warm fire.“What’s going on?” Jonathan questions, holding Osric’s hand watching Embry and I unbundle the twins and let them lay on the fur blankets.“Our pups are getting ready to shift,” I answer, feeling Roan’s cheek as she growls making me giggle, knowing she gets a little cranky when she starts shifting.“It’s ok bub, let’s get this off,” Embry chuckles at Gunner growling at him, pulling his onesie off.“Gunnar be good,” Phoenix scolds Gunnar, as she kneels down next to Embry making all of us laugh as Osric and Jonathan sit with us.“He’s ok, it’s normal for them to be cranky when they’re getting ready to shift, it’s not the most comfortable process,” I reassure, making Phoenix smile and shake her head with a slight
“Dinner is ready, the head table is set for you, your family, and your guest… oh my looks like our future is going to be strong with these pups,” Bjorn walks over to inform us of the feast getting started. “It really will be, I’ve never seen any children shift so young as the twins, let alone Aiden shifting so instinctively,” Osric agrees while standing and holds his hand out for me. “Thank you, Bjorn, it is amazing to watch them like this and to be able to run around so freely. I remember shifting young and having to hide it, to see out people accept it and enjoy watching them play is incredible,” I admit, watching our warriors talking and pointing to the pups while chuckling at their antics. “The pups will always be safe here, no one would dare touch or hurt any of them, they’re all children of Alphas, and they’re just pups,” Bjorn admits while leading our way to a central table that’s in front of all the rest covered in tons of different foods. I smile watching Jonathan and Embr
I am up and rushing over before I even realize what is happening, to see she kicked Phoenix who bit her trying to help Ares.Gunnar growls viciously and jumps at her biting her thigh, as Roan joins him biting her other leg putting her on the ground making her thrash and scream.“Get them off!” Ellie cries out as Aiden and Phoenix join the twins in trying to tear her apart for hurting Phoenix.“Get off me, you filthy abomination!” She screams, grabbing Phoenix and throwing her across the ground into a tree, making Gunnar target her throat.Ares rushes to Phoenix, as I barely have time to react grabbing Ellie’s wrist in a crushing grip when she tries to swipe at Gunnar with her claws out before, hearing a thunderous growl behind me.“You dare harm a pup let alone attempt to lay hands on your future Alpha, my son!” Jonathan’s voice booms behind me, as I feel all three of my mates standing above me.Aiden and Roan hide beneath me with Gunnar standing on her chest growling in her face.“Th
“Nervous about tomorrow?” Jonathan questions as I toss and turn in bed feeling overheated and stressed out about the Luna ceremony tomorrow night. “Yeah, but I can usually sleep through being nervous. It’s got to be the full moon, I feel hot too,” I admit, looking down to see Embry’s hands gripping my hips tighter as he grinds himself against Jonathan in his sleep. “Are you sure it isn’t more, these two are getting very handsy,” Jonathan quietly laughs while looking down to see Embry’s hand reaching into his boxers. “I don’t think so, I don’t feel like I’m in heat, these two are always ready to go,” I admit while resting my head on Jonathan’s chest trying to get comfortable, but his body feels so hot like he is a furnace on high. “They’re not the only ones,” Jonathan teases, running his fingers through my hair brushing it to one side. I take a deep breath and sit, noticing his scent is a lot stronger than it has been since he’s been home. “What is it?” Jonathan questions looking
“Raven!” Osric calls out from the bathroom when I hear Jonathan screaming in pain after hours of waiting to shift.“I’m coming,” I call out, walking down the stairs with a bucket of ice hoping to bring his temperature down.“Fuck the ice he’s shifting now!” Osric yells, making me drop the bucket and run down the stairs and to the bathroom hearing the water slosh around.“I’m here,” I rush to the edge of the tub where Osric is in the tub holding Jonathan who is thrashing in pain as his bones begin to break.“What the fuck?!” I hear Embry’s voice yell, before hearing a loud bang then him sliding down the stairs, “Ow! Damn it!”“Oops, I might have dropped the bucket of ice on the stairs,” I wince hearing Embry groaning feeling pain in his back and ass bleed through the bond, Osric and Jonathan, both give me confused dirty looks.“I… really?” Osric questions with a slight chuckle, and I nod my head while looking to the door to see Embry glaring daggers at me as he limps in.“How is your a
“Who is that Aiden?” Liliana giggles while kneeling down holding Aiden at Jonathan’s level.Jonathan instantly nuzzles Aiden, scenting his son who giggles and holds onto his face.“Dada,” Aiden laughs before kissing the top of Jonathan’s muzzle.I notice Roan and Gunnar whining and squirming in Ryder’s arms as Freya holds Anarchy, so Ryder brings them over.“Apparently these two wanted to see the wolf their Da became, you’re something else Jonathan, congratulations you’re a true Alpha now,” Ryder nods respectfully, and kneels down so the twins can see us.Osric walks over and smells each of our pups with Embry by his side.“Their scents are stronger, different,” Jonathan links, making me nod my head knowing his sense of smell would get stronger and he’d be more attuned to the wolf scents.“It’s part of the wolf side, I remember noticing the same thing after my first shift,” Ryder replies, making Jonathan’s head tilt surprised he could hear him.“You have to focus your link better now
“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
