“I can’t stay here,” I sob into Embry’s chest while wrapping my arms firmly around his neck. “I know, I’ve already got Gideon and Nikki getting everyone packing. We will leave first thing tomorrow,” Embry reassures when I feel him gently wash my back with a soft sponge. “How do I ask them to follow me when I couldn’t protect myself?” I growl to myself feeling so angry that I couldn’t stop Gerard from raping on me. I was too weak and too afraid to fight back; I was terrified of something happening to my pups who deserve a stronger mother. “You did though, Raven no one else can do what you did. You might not have been able to stop Gerard from violating you, but you did keep him from doing worse, you protected your pups, and you did save Liliana and Valery from those boys. You also made sure no one would ever get hurt by them again,” Embry’s deep voice vibrates in his chest as the scent of warm vanilla and cinnamon surrounds me lulling me into exhaustion. “You will be ok, I promise R
“Daddy,” I whisper while opening his door at two in the morning afraid to fall asleep knowing I’d have nightmares. “Raven,” he groans while leaning across his bed to turn on his bedside lamp. “I can’t sleep,” I softly speak while looking down at my feet curling my toes nervously. “Come here, you never have to ask. Are you feeling, ok?” Dad questions while pulling the blanket back making me smile at his flannel pajamas that Liliana always stole. “Yeah, everything feels ok, it feels like everything healed. I just keep seeing them and Mom when I close my eyes. I’ve never felt so weak, not even when I was attacked after my first shift,” I answer while crawling into bed with my dad rolling away from him, just for him to pull me back into his arms holding me. “It’s nice to hold you, you girls don’t let me do this since you’ve grown up more. You weren’t weak, you managed to do something no one else has ever done, protecting yourself and your pups,” my father whispers resting his arm over
After the long flight to Finland, I fell asleep in the car for a few hours trying to imagine raising my pups alone. I abruptly wake up feeling my head explode with hundreds of voices all at once saying the same thing, “Alpha?” “We just crossed the border, the pack link woke you,” Embry speaks, keeping his eyes ahead as he drives. I can’t help cringing at all the confused voices talking over each other. “Raven, tune them out only let in the ones trying to connect directly to you through,” Embry speaks in concern when he sees the way I shift in my seat trying to block them out of my mind. “How many are there?” I question with my eyes clamped shut as I firmly press my forehead to the frozen window. “639,” Embry answers while reaching over pressing the back of his hand against my cheek. I can’t help my smile or the blush flooding my cheeks finding comfort in him checking on me. “I’ll be ok, it’s working,” I sigh while taking a deep breath focusing on the different voices finding th
“Alpha Raven, you have guests,” my father interrupts while grabbing my hand as I start up the stairs ready to find my bed in the Alpha suite. “Who?” I question while looking behind me to see a boy my age standing with what appear to be his parents. “Angel Haner and his family,” Dad answers watching me run my hands over my bump. “I need a minute to rest, I will be down for dinner to meet everyone. Make sure everyone is taken care of,” I sigh deeply knowing I can’t avoid them, but I need a few minutes to at least gather my thoughts. “Are you and your pups, ok?” My father questions with concern laced in his voice making me blush a little as I nod my head. “Yeah, I’m just exhausted we flew 17 hours and drove two. I’m on board with Liliana, I need a shower and to lay down for a minute,” I answer while glancing at the family sitting together as the boy speaks to his father. “Go, Grandma will have dinner ready in two hours,” our dad chuckles a little making me smile a little. “Thank yo
“Alpha Raven, a scout from Blood Moon has arrived to announce the arrival of King Osric… His party is 2 hours out,” a young male voice flits through the link. I quietly grown and flop down on the very soft very large four poster bed on the opposite wall of the beautiful stone fire place. The suite is huge, against the wall with the bed were two doors one for the bathroom and the other a closet. There are two very nice large lounges and an arm chair in front of the fire place, behind the lounges is a bar with a small dining table and chairs in the corner. “Why are they visiting?” I link back trying to hide my irritation knowing it isn’t the patrols’ fault. “To meet Wolf Creek’s new Alpha, what would you like me to do?” The voice asks making me sit up smelling and hearing Embry coming up the stairs. “Get more men on patrol, bring the scout to the pack house so he can rest and eat,” I instruct while holding my belly and getting up as Embry enters the room watching me in confusion.
“What are you thinking, Knight?” I ask, watching him sit at the foot of my bed as I sit up against the headboard, rubbing my stomach. “That my Princess needs to rest, but the night is not over. Angel and his family are downstairs to meet you, they moved here at Alpha Osric’s request to help Wolf Creek transition,” Embry answers as he vacantly watches my hand on my stomach. “I’m not a princess and I’m used to no sleep. Why Angel? Why is Alpha Osric so interested in what happens here?” I question while sitting up pulling my black fur cloak over me like a blanket. “A knight needs his princess. I’ve noticed you don’t sleep much, but you need it now for your pups. Angel is Alpha Osric’s younger brother; he’s hoping to help maintain order and your position,” Embry speaks watching me with concern as I nod knowing I need to find a way to take it easy. “I guess I should go meet Angel and his family before Osric arrives. Have the guest suite ready for Osric and rooms ready for his men,” I si
Ryder’s POV “Liliana what’s wrong?” I link feeling her suddenly grow angry from upstairs. I look up wondering why she’s up set while standing beside Thane glad to see him for the first time in a while. “What now?” Raven questions watching Liliana storm down the stairs with a very aggravated expression making me worry. “Ryder, Jacoby with me,” Liliana instructs pulling her silvery white hair back into a pony tail making. I tilt my head to the side when see Raven’s eyes glaze over from someone mind linking her. I’m quick to follow Liliana towards the door when she stops in front of me and shakes her head at Raven who looks like she’s about to follow. “No, you don’t. I told them not to tell you because you’re not leaving this house while you’re carrying my niece and nephew. You, what’s your name?” Liliana nearly growls at Raven then points to Thane making him confused. I can’t help laughing at how awesome it is to watch my little mate bossing everyone around. “Thane,” he answers w
“I got him!” I hear Thane call out when the second rogue begins to run as he and Jacoby begin to give chase. I begin to move to help Liliana when Jyrki blocks me while watching his granddaughter fight. “Let her do this, she is Beta she needs to prove her position and protect the pack. If she needs you, she’ll ask you for help,” Jyrki explains, nudging me to the side. When I finally look at him and notice he is the only other fully red wolf that I’ve seen aside from Raven. I watch Liliana move gracefully around and under the rogue she is fighting. She is slowly exhausting him since he can’t get a hold of her. “Don’t tell me how to look after my mate,” I shove past Jyrki walking towards Liliana who has the rogue pinned to the ground snarling in his face. “Don’t disrespect me boy! Don’t you dare begin to forget what family you’re dealing with!” Jyrki growls grabbing me by the scruff of my neck, throwing me onto the ground into the cold snow. “I am her mate! You will not tell me how
“King Osric,” a smooth low pitch voice speaks from the other side of what looked like a board room. In the room is a large table with five Alpha’s sitting with their Betas behind them. I nearly growl when my eyes land on Jonathan who stands behind the tall lean well-built blonde man in the center. “King Orin, what brings you to an Alpha meeting, you don’t belong here?” Osric calmly questions while walking to the opposite head of the table. Osric motioning for me to take my place to his right while Embry stands on my other side. “I just came to claim what’s mine, what was promised by the girl’s mother,” Orin’s snake like grin grows while his dark brown eyes focus on me. I notice Jonathan looking for Liliana, I’m even more surprised at the expression of relief when he sees she’s not here. “You have no claim to any werewolf or Lycan, now leave!” Osric nearly roars when the doors open and we were suddenly surrounded by vampires. “Not everyone agrees with you Alpha Osric, if giving
“Wow,” I hear Liliana from behind me when Embry finishes the braids on the side of my head making me look like a warrior while Osric is helping me with my leather bracers. “What?” I ask while looking down at Osric’s hand’s tying the laces on my right wrist. “You look the part,” Liliana compliments watching me hold my arms out of Osric’s way when he pulls a leather belt around me with my sword resting at my hip. I am now wearing a deep red sleeveless gown flowing down to my feet underneath a black leather corset lined with grey fur coming out the edges. “Embry packed it, I think it’s quite perfect since my eyes are always red with black swirling around in them now,” I admit looking down at my dress hoping I would be intimidating enough considering my short and now round stature. “You look strong and unafraid, you wear your marks openly and your pups, and you have the two most frightening men at your side no one will mess with you,” Liliana points out while pulling me into her arms
Maturity Warning: Sex, MMF I whimper waking up to overwhelming heat and pleasure consuming me, my eyes flutter open feeling Embry’s hand inside my panties rubbing my clit. I blush feeling the vibration of Embry’s chuckle when my hips naturally move against the movement of his fingers. “Good morning, Mo Ròs Dubh,” Embry kisses and nips at his mark while slipping his fingers through my wet folds thrusting them into me. “Embry,” I whimper grasping his hand from the outside of my panties and resting back against his warm body. “You are so delectable, I couldn’t keep my hands to myself after waking up to your ass grinding up against my cock,” Embry teases circling my clit with his thumb. “I expect nothing less from my Knight,” I barely speak before crying out and bucking my hips against his fingers. “Osric?” I inquire with a deep breath when I realize his scent is nearly faded from the room. “He went to meet with everyone to let you rest,” Embry simply answers while pulling his fing
“Do you think you’re ready?” Embry questions while opening the car door for me once we arrive at the hotel for the Alpha meeting. “I have no idea, fake it till I make it right,” I joke while getting out with my sword on my hip knowing it was expected here. “You’re not faking, you’ve got this Alpha Raven, don’t let the push you around remember you’re stronger than the rest of them. You’re 24 weeks pregnant with our pups and have the right to protect them and yourself,” Embry soothes while pulling my chin up and kisses my forehead making me blush. “Thank you,” I whisper while hugging him when I hear Thane and my father pull up with Ryder and Liliana as Angel and Nikki drove us. “Everyone, get rest tonight the meeting will start early tomorrow and will likely end with a reception,” Embry instructs watching everyone pulling out bags. “Yes Alpha,” they absentmindedly say as they continue to gather their things ready to crash inside the hotel. “Raven, relax you’ve got this and Osric is
“Slow down!” Osric calls out as Embry chuckles at me hurrying to the community center doors excited to meet our new pack members. “It’s almost lunch time, you two took forever to get out of the house and wouldn’t quit fussing over me,” I complain from the entrance making them both shake their heads as Embry roll his eyes. “We had to make sure you ate and take care of our pups,” Embry sighs when he catches up then places his hand on the small of my back. “You were the one who slept in till eleven,” Osric teases while opening the door letting me walk in ahead of them. I smile hearing laughter of the three young kids once we enter. I giggle with a wider smile seeing them playing tag and running around beds that are in an open. “I thought they were going to be set up in the basement to give them privacy?” I ask while looking around at the large floor to ceiling windows letting in copious amounts of light. “They will be, the basement was fuller than expected. Jacoby, Angel, Michelle
Maturity Warning: Sex and Bondage “Come here,” Osric softly speaks while placing his hand on my belly pulling me to his warm arms. “You don’t have to worry about Embry he knows his limits,” Osric reassures while kissing my neck slowly down to my shoulder teasing his mark. “I know he can handle himself, he’s my Knight,” I admit knowing Embry will be just fine or I would have followed him out the door. “Good, then I can enjoy having you all to myself,” he playfully growls sliding his hand up my waist pleasurably kneading my breast. “And what is my Beast going to do with me now that you have me all to yourself?” I tease while backing against the bed post feeling Osric’s other hand gripping my ass holding me against him. “You’ll see,” he playfully growls then passionately kisses me while picking me up and laying me on the bed. “My handsome Beast,” I whisper looking down into his beautiful hazel green eyes. I tangle my fingers in his hair when his lips meet my collarbone causing goo
“What are you thinking?” I question while pulling Osric’s arms around me when I find him standing at the tree line watching everyone. “How good it feels to finally see you and our pups safe,” Osric answers while looking down at me. I hug him burying my face in his chest taking in his warm soothing scent. “You and Embry have always been there, every time I’ve need you. Even when I felt scared and alone, I always had you two watching,” I softly speak while standing on my toes to gently kiss Osric making him smile. “Just wait till you feel one of us in trouble or upset, you won’t be able to resist the pull either,” Osric chuckles deeply pulling me tighter against him with one hand drifting lower gripping my ass. “Oh, I have no doubt with what I already feel through the bond,” I can’t help giggling before kissing him again sucking his soft bottom lip deepening our kiss. “Just wait till your first heat,” Osric teases after pulling apart for air. I blush feeling a firm warm body behind
“Raven?” Osric questions watching me stretch my arm and hold my shoulder feeling a sharp pain stabbing into the back of my shoulder. “Someone’s being attacked,” I sigh while holding onto him digging my claws into his shoulder when a burning sensation rushes through my body like my blood is on fire. “Raven, focus follow the link who is it? Where are they you should be able to find them?” Osric questions while pulling my face up to his making me look at him. I shake my head trying to focus on where the feeling is coming from, but something feels wrong. “It’s not the pack link… It’s Liliana… Someone is attacking Lily!” I scream while running towards her scent leading to the pack house. “Raven!” Osric yells chasing after me with several others following noticing Ryder also missing. “Stay behind us, you need to keep our pup safe,” Embry growls while grabbing my arm ripping me back. Everyone looks up hearing a scream from inside the house as I begin to tremble afraid for my twin. “Go
Everyone stands when I approach a path in the snow leading to Osric and Embry who look lost for words. I blush feeling all eyes on me, I know this is a huge deal. Women don’t typically become Alphas, let alone have a mate also be Alpha. Ryder and Liliana stand at the front, Liliana to the right and Ryder to the left both looking very proud and excited. I can feel the buzz of excitement through the link, almost everyone among the pack is happy for the fresh start. I slowly walk up the path stopping in front of Osric with Embry standing beside me resting his hand on the small of my back. “Tonight, Wolf Creeks welcomes its Alpha home. Alpha Raven, kneel,” Osric’s voice is loud and clear when the entire pack surrounds us watching in anticipation. “King Osric,” I slowly kneel in front of him with my hand over my belly. I’m glad my dress was fur lined protecting me from the snow. “I’ve come to Wolf Creek for the ascension of Raven Bloodwrath as your Alpha; she has won her title throug
