How do we like Freya's advisors? Can we trust them?
Freya's POV"Look at all this space we can make into a fun play area." Alana places Aiden on his feet and holds his hands making sure he is able to balance. Aiden giggles, letting go of her hands he takes off towards the dining area that is next to the sitting area. "Woah little man you're already really fast," Alana laughs and takes off after him."Very; careful though, if he thinks you'll chase him he might…" Jonathan begins to speak when Aiden giggles then shifts into an adorable silvery white wolf pup. When Anarchy begins to whimper, Liliana reaches over and takes her, knowing she is hungry. Jonathan notices and begins to lead Liliana up another set of stairs so she can nurse."He can shift?" Gregor looks at me curiously, I struggle to stifle my giggle and nod. I laugh more watching Aiden run between Alana's legs making her turn fast enough that she falls on her butt. "His mother is a Goddess; all our children will be special. I can't wait to see what Anarchy, and this little one,
Freya's POV "Not for very long," Liza speaks with such confidence it takes me a moment to catch up. Before I can react, Jonathan runs towards Liliana, when I see Alana has beat him to her. Alana rips them apart, taking the dagger meant for my mate into her lower abdomen. "You dare think you can kill me with a simple dagger?" Liliana's eyes glow bright white when she grabs Liza by the throat and holds her in the air like she weighs nothing. "A dagger coated in wolfsbane and nightshade, maybe," Liza laughs hysterically as she watches Alana drop to the floor as Ulric catches her before she hits the stone. "You're lucky I need you; if I had the choice, your punishment would be long and torturous," I hear Liliana's sweet voice. Rushing to Alana's side I carefully remove the dagger and check the wound that isn't healing. "You don't have the balls to punish me," Liza chokes on her words when Liliana's grip tightens and nearly crushes her throat. "You're bleeding too much, Freya what do we
Ryder's POV "Hey, Freya Lily," I softly speak, I shake their shoulders as they lay curled up together in bed asleep. 'Write them a note.' Harley chuckles when he peers out at our mates to see Liliana nuzzle her head to Freya's chest. 'Good idea,' I agree with my lycan, leaning over I kiss their foreheads, then quickly write a note that I'm going to morning training. 'Let's check on the pups.' Harley wags his tail in the back of my head making me chuckle. 'I already planned to, I also want to check in with Jonathan to make sure he's watching over everyone while they sleep.' I walk out of our room and across the hall into the nursery. I smile seeing Jonathan laying across the daybed, with Aiden asleep on his chest. It used to make me angry knowing how Liliana got pregnant with Aiden but I eventually understood, once I realized the threat Orin posed. Now I'm glad to see Jonathan with Aiden, especially knowing he will have to leave for home soon so it will be a while before he sees his
Ryder's POV "Gregor, I had planned to talk to you later but now seems like a perfect time. I plan to overhaul the training program, I want to open training to women, children and everyone without a title, everyone will train. I also wish to break down daily training, mornings will be for children as the first part of the school day, afternoons will be introductory training for women and those who have had no access to training, evenings will be for intermediate adults, and there will be a second group in the evenings for elite skilled warriors who will now be called Deltas," I explain, Gregor and the trainers who have gathered all nod as they take in the changes. "I will not have anyone in this castle defenseless nor will things be separated by status. Eventually we will be integrating hybrids into the kingdom and we will fight to defend them." I earn disgruntled chatter among some of the warriors at my mention of hybrids. This time I let Christian stand to face me when he speaks ou
Liliana's POVWalking out onto the landing at the top of the stairs that lead to the courtyard, with Anarchy nestled in my arms, I can hear cheering. Peering out I see warriors surrounding the center mat where I see Ryder duck under a woman's foot when she tries striking him with a round house kick."Look, Daddy's showing his warriors what kind of man he is," I speak proudly. Pulling Anarchy higher up, I face her towards the training grounds and let her back and head rest against my chest and shoulder. "And he is doing well." Freya walks up behind me with Aiden in her arms as Alana stands behind on her other side."Watch how they both move, she's very well trained," I comment, pointing out how graceful both Ryder and this woman’s moves are; it's like watching a dance. "Rayna has been trained by Gregor since she was a girl, she's the only woman here who is properly trained, she can beat any man here except Gregor, Ulric and Christian," Alana explains, as I continue to watch Ryder shift
Draig's POV Trying to gather the clans together to fight Dagon, has been a monumental task to say the least. The dragons aren't afraid of him, but they should be, they didn't see the magic his followers wielded or the control he has over them. Honestly, I'm not sure I would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it firsthand, I still can't believe the smug look on his face when he faced Osric. It didn't matter how I explained the danger to each clan, they still had a hard time believing me. It wasn't until I captured one of his sycophants, with the help of Alpha Benjamin and Ingvar, that they finally believed the power Dagon possessed and took the treat seriously. Even with proof, my people were still reluctant to participate in the summit, they thought we should stick to our own but eventually gave in, sending people form each clan to the summit with a reserve of warriors. The plan Ingvar suggested to Kings Osric, Embry, Jonathan and Ryder was for the dragons to be on the outside, trap
Ingvar's POVNine months I was given to gather the support of the human realm and that is the time it took to convince my government that the lycans, werewolves, vampires, dragons, witches and hybrids were real, and not a threat.In the beginning, my leaders thought it was a joke. I was bounced around from superior to superior to plead my case, it took me bringing in King Draig, Alpha Benjamin, his pup Phoenix and Lord Gregor to meet the Finnish Prime Minister and President with me, for them to finally believe the reality of our situation.Once I was able to properly plead my case, not only did I get the full support of my nation, but all surrounding nations who were aware of Dagon’s broadcast. During their own investigations of the supernatural species, they discovered many were peaceful and few were aggressive. Other nations were already aware of supernatural species and live in peace with them. They were thrilled to help garner permanent peace and end the threat many of them were w
Maturity Warning: Sex, BLBenjamin's POVHelping King Osric has been an honor, and for the most part, easy. The lycans and werewolves are happy to follow their kings' and queen's position on fighting Dagon. King Silas, king of the rogues, was the hardest to find and convince out of all the wolves. I don't blame him either, he's watching over many of our people who have been born outside packs, and aren’t welcome because of prejudice.In all honesty, the witches have been the hardest to convince, even with Helena and Phoenix helping smooth the way. It was only when Osric joined us, revealing Odin, that the leaders of the covens began to trust us. Phoenix enjoyed being around the witches and made friends with everyone she met.Nine months later; July 15th, the day before the summit."Daddy, wake up!" I hear yelled as I roll over in bed, hearing Ares still snoring beside me. "Papa! Make Daddy get up, we need to go to breakfast, the witches are coming!" Phoenix climbs onto our bed and beg
