Ari’s POVJuliet- You ready to talk to me now?Me- You are a total Bitch.Juliet- I own it, but I am sorry.Me- At least you are sorry.“Hey, you with us?” Finley asks as I start to clear the plates.“I’m here, sorry,” I smile and stand to clear.“Oh, no,” Finch takes the plates from me. “You and Romana cooked; we shall clean.”I am shocked when Turk and the triplets follow his lead without complaint.“I like this deal,” Romona sits back and takes a long swig of her beer.“I guess I won’t complain,” I shrug and reach for Finch’s beer to finish it.Juliet- Nope!Me- Why? It’s just beer?Juliet- Don’t drink that.Me- Why?Juliet- Don’t be stupid.My heart skips a beat and I put the beer bottle down.I look at Romana, who looks confused. I guess I have a stupid look on my face.Me- Really? Like, no lie.Juliet- Your scent should start to shift in the next couple of days. But yeah, you are having an Alpha Heir.I jump up from the table.“What is it?” Romana asks me.“I can’t tell you unti
Alicia’s POV“What happened, Baby?” Kale asks.“I don’t know, but I just felt the worst pain I have ever felt,” I tell him.“It’s the mark,” he taps it.“Sorry,” I tell him with a pout.“You marked the dumbass. That was not part of the plan,” Kale rolls his eyes and gets up.“I’m sorry, but you were supposed to kill her over Christmas break,” I shoot back.“She found her second chance,” he covers his impressive body with shorts. “I kept my cover as the doting, wonderful man. She won’t suspect me when they ‘find’ me tomorrow. I can get close again.”I sit on the bed and pull my knees to my chest.“Is she better in bed than I am?” I ask, looking up at him.Kale looks over at me with raised eyebrows.“I’ll let you know if I ever get to actually have sex with you,” Kale jokes. “Did your family buy the act that you really thought she was dead?”I can’t help the smile on my face.“Oh, even Tristian bought it,” I giggle.“Why do you mention that asshat?” Kale asks, throwing a shirt at me.“Y
Finch’s POV“Finch,” My name coming from her mouth, in that moan, as our hips meet, damn. I want to pound harder, but I think about our baby in her womb. I keep the pace that both of us seem to be enjoying.She moans again and I rock into her as we come undone.We finish with a kiss, and I roll, pulling her on top of me.“I love you so much,” I tell her, holding her.“I love you too,” she laughs. “I can’t believe I love someone as old as you.”I tickle her.“I’m not that old,” I growl at her.“Oh, please, you are old enough to be my father. No wonder you like to be called Daddy,” She giggles and sits up. “You are going a little gray, but this,” she moves my dick inside of her. “This is just like a younger man.”“Oh, Sweetheart,” I thrust up as she moves. “A younger man can’t do to you what I can. They are too concerned about their own pleasure. I have the stamina to last and the experience to use what I got best.”She throws her head back as I twist my hips, knocking her off balance.
Ari’s POV“Sweetheart,” Finch shakes me as I was enjoying very restorative, much needed sleep.“Gravity,” I whine as I try to go back to sleep.I hear him chuckle.“Darling, your phone. It’s about Kale,” he whispers, holding my phone in front of me.I open one eye and see the messages.“Wait, Kale is alive?” I ask, reading the messages.I pick up my phone and call Kale’s number.“Hey, Baby,” Kale answers.“Don’t call me, Baby,” I say. “But it is still good to hear your voice.”“I had a lot of time to miss you,” Kale chuckles.I look over at Finch, who I know can hear him.“I’m marked and mated to Finch Conrad. I missed you, mourned you and everything. But the mate bond and him. Finch is amazing. He spent our whole first day together helping me mourn you. He talked to me and helped me. He won my heart, Kale, all of it,” As I finish, Finch is smiling at me and holding me.“You sound like a woman in love,” Kale’s voice has a hint of anger. “I guess what we had wasn’t real.”“What we had
Finch’s POV“Don’t worry, Dad, we are fine,” Anderson tells me as Ari and I are about to leave for our cruise.“All decisions are made by...” I wait for them to answer.“Turk, the Beta is in charge for the next four days. We know and we promise to not interfere,” Carter tells me.“One thing, can Everly be off duty for a while?” Finley asks. “I really don’t want her on patrol or anything.”I look at the panic in his eyes at the idea of his mate in danger.“I can take her off patrol, but son, she is elite. She is amazing, which is why she was on your guard detail to begin with. So, if a fight comes, you best believe that she-wolf is going to be kicking some serious ass,” I tell him. He nods.Me- Turk.Turk- Yeah, boss.Me- Remove Everly from the patrol schedule if she asks why, tell her to ask her mate.Turk- So, throw Finley under the bus. Can I record the fall out?Me- I just want a copy but you upload it anywhere.Turk- No problem, boss.“Done,” I warn Finley. “Good Luck, son.”Ari a
Ari’s POV“I’m so sorry for teasing you and making dinner awkward,” I say, when we get to our room.“It’s fine,” he lies. “Duke is happy to throw that Dianna woman overboard.”Juliet- I’m with my mate, she is a total Bitch!Me- Must take one to know one.Juliet- Do you think I am ashamed to be a bitch? Girl, you don’t know me, clearly. I’m an OG Bitch and I’m here for it.“Juliet is ready to toss her over the side as well,” I tell him. “So, you forgive me?”“I’m happy to have you as my mate,” he kisses my forehead. “Want to get ready for bed?”“We took showers right before dinner. Maybe you should make me a little dirty before we clean up,” I flirt, and he smiles.“I’m kinda tired actually,” he tells me.My face must have dropped because he gives me a weak smile before kissing my forehead again and leaving me alone in the bedroom.Juliet- You hurt his pride a little.Me- Can you explain I didn’t mean to?Juliet- You are a grown woman about to become a mother. Get your own ass out ther
Finch’s POV“So, Finley gets angry and punches Anderson out cold,” I tell Ariella over breakfast in our room.“Just like that, when they were only ten?” She asks laughing.“Fin decided he wasn’t going to put up with Carter and Anderson picking on him. He went to Turk directly for boxing lessons and,” I hold up my hands as we laugh.“Please tell me you didn’t punish him,” she is laughing, while drinking her coffee.“I was so proud of him. I mean, I wanted to be mad, Anderson was out for three minutes, but the perfect way Fin punch that son of gun out,” I shake my head, smiling.We both start laughing.“Not going to lie, I almost forgave Finley,” She gives me a small smile. “He was sincere, and I mean, all three of them are good looking.”“Yeah, they all look just like their mother,” I smile.Duke- Give up the old cufflinks.Me- That is only gift I have from her.Duke- But she is gone, and you will always have the boys.“Duke wants me to give you my old cufflinks. As a gesture of my wil
Caleb’s POVTristian- Allies on standby. They move on your order.Reading that text gave me all the strength I need. I am going to end Alicia’s aggression once and for all. She will no longer torture the world with her, I don’t even know what to call it.Rex- I still don’t know how I feel going against father.Me- Stay with me, buddy. This is for Ari. You always wanted to protect Ari and were never able to, now we can. We have the power.Rex- With great power comes great...Me- Stop, we are not superheroes, we are the future king of werewolves, and it is time to step and lead.Rex- My line was better.Me-Your line was stolen from a comic book. My line is from the heart.Rex- Whatever.We land and I join my parents as we walk to the Packhouse of the Rivera Pack.“You are only here for show of strength. Say nothing,” My Father orders me.Rex- And now my dick mode has been activated.Me- Took you long enough, but welcome to the party.“My King, My Queen, Crown Prince,” Alpha Rivera bows d
Five Months Later Juliet- Okay, so when do you want me to block the pain? Me- When I am pushing. Let me just deal with these contractions. Juliet- We are about to give birth to triplets, are you sure you want to feel labor? Me- I would rather feel labor than feel the pushing! Juliet- You are the boss this time. “Darlin, you are doing great!” Anderson is beside me with a cold cloth and is feeding me ice chips. “You got this, Luna,” Everly is here too. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl a week ago. Zoe and Claire are going to be the best sisters at Conrad. After fourteen hours of intense labor, Dr. Dixon finally says I can start to push. Juliet- I got your back! Juliet blocks the pain as I pass Baby A, the next ruler of the werewolf kingdom! “It’s a boy!” Dr. Dixon declares. “Bär,” I whisper, and his name is written on a band for his foot. Baby B is next. “It’s a girl!” Dr. Dixon holds up my daughter. “Rose,” I tell her, and Anderson kisses my head. I’m not a heartles
Carter’s POV “Hey, Fin, I’m gonna head back. I found what I was looking for,” I tell him and Everly as we walk back to his house from the meeting.“Oh, yeah?” Finley smiles at me.“Yeah,” I nod and get back in my car. I don’t call her. I don’t speed too much. Hell, I have no idea if she stayed and waited. Bolt- What was the giveaway.Me- I felt nothing. When I saw she was okay, I felt okay. I wasn’t relieved or anything.Bolt- I tried to explain it to you.Me- She really is the only one for me.Bolt- Finally saying the right thing.When I get back, the pack is happy to see me. But I only have eyes for one person.“Grandpa?” I ask him without saying too much.Grandpa actually smiles and nods up the stairs.I finally scent her in the nursery.“Hey,” I say, leaning against the doorway. Tina is rocking Romeo.“Hey. Did you see her?” Tina asks.I nod.“Are you….” Tina takes a deep breath. “Are you leaving us for her?”I smirk and shake my head. Tina inhales and starts crying.“
Ari’s POVDan is curled up in a ball, clearly needing medical attention but with the fire, it’s not coming anytime soon.I sit on the ground and watch him whimper in pain as the flames start to die down.Dan drags himself closer to the destroyed member and holds it like a teddy bear to his chest.I am actively trying not to laugh. He just lays there holding his chewed up dick and crying. Mourn the loss, asshole. You will never hurt another she-wolf again.Juliet- You are enjoying this a little too much.Me- Let’s talk about your inability to figure out guys are dangerous until we are in actual danger.Juliet- Hey, until Kale met Alicia, he was harmless. And until Dan went crazy, he was harmless.Me- What about Anderson? Can I trust him? Or is he just using me to put his line on the throne?Juliet- I can talk to Bear. Bear loves us and Bear will protect us from anything human Anderson could think to do to us. Not to mention, you just bit off a guy's dick. No male who hears this story i
Ari’s POV1 hour ago“I’m gonna run home,” I tell Everly. “I think I forgot my toothbrush.”“Okay, I’ll make sure the kids are in bed,” Everly smiles.I walk out of her front door, and by instinct, I lock it behind me.Juliet- Danger to the left.I’m about to go back inside, but can’t, so I swing and make contact with someone.Me- Everly, Attack!I hear the alarm go off as six hands grab me. I have to protect my pup. I comply and get in the van they are pushing me toward.“You will tell the gate guards to open up,” Dan’s voice cuts through the darkness.“Why?” I ask.“There is a bomb. If you don’t, I blow up your son, your ‘granddaughter’, and your friend,” he holds up a trigger.“The house is a bomb shelter. Everly would have moved everyone into the safe room by now. So, why would I comply any more than what I have?” I ask with a smirk.Dan cusses under his breath.“You think you are so smart? Wolfbane her,” Dan orders and someone comes at me with a needle.I kick the guy in the face
Anderson’s POV“Promise me, you and Monty will get to a saferoom if the pack is attacked,” I stand in front of Ari, holding her hands.“Me, Monty, and our pup will get to the saferoom,” Ari promises.“Our pup,” I can’t help but smile. I love being the fun uncle, but now I get to be a Father. No, a Dad. I can’t wait to be a Dad like I had.I dip her back and kiss her passionately.“I love you, Anderson,” she whispers as she stands back up.“I love you too. More than words can describe,” I tell her.“Okay, now you are going to the training camp first, catch them off guard and kill them,” Ari confirms my plan.“I will call you before we attack and right after,” I promise.“Be careful and make sure everyone gets some sleep on the way,” Ari tells us.“Stay safe,” I say, before getting on one of the 4 buses we are taking.I spend the drive making plans with Carter, Finley and Grandpa. He will hold down the packhouse while the Conrad Triplets handle business.After the plans are set, I get a
Finley’s POVBanjo- Carter is upstairs.I continue to talk to Everly as I walk up to Carter with Peter and Jack behind me.“I love you, Baby. See you in three days,” I tell her as I walk in the office behind Grandpa.“Rubbing it in?” Carter asks.“Sure, if that is the way you see it,” I tell him. “We are here. We have two teams scouting now, Recon 3 reports scents and they are tracking.”“Thanks for coming,” Carter says, sitting in his chair. “Anderson called me again. I didn’t answer.”“You should try answering,” I offer.Carter looks at Grandpa.“He is not wrong. Anderson and Ari have done nothing wrong. Tina and the Omegas dressing like strippers is wrong,” Grandpa raises his eyebrows.“What?” Carter asks, before pushing past us.We all stand in his office and wait.“How are you boys doing?” Grandpa asks Peter and Jack.“Good,” Jack smiles.“Any pups yet?” Grandpa jokes.“Not for lack of trying,” Peter jokes.Grandpa laughs a full belly laugh.“Keep trying, boys,” Grandpa encourage
Finley’s POVBanjo- Our mate is so beautiful.Me- Yeah, man, you chose good.Banjo- You too man.“Be careful and come home to me and your pups,” Everly tells me, pulling me in for one more kiss.“I have to go next door and say goodbye to Anderson, then we leave. I will be home in three days,” I promise her. “Please be safe yourself.”Everly laughs.“There is not a werewolf dumb enough to mess with me,” She winks, and we share one more kiss before I leave through our back door to Anderson’s backdoor.“Fucking gross, again?” I whine, seeing Anderson’s bare ass through the door. It’s moving this time.OH, Shit! There is moaning and I see Ari’s hands. I turn around quickly and just send a mindlink.Me- Hey, Bro, I’m gone. Enjoy.No reply. I didn’t expect one.“All good, Fin?” Peter asks as I sprint to the SUV.“Just go. I need to burn an image out of my eyes,” I shake all over, hoping to forget the thrusting and the nails down the back. Eww, gross, nope, not going to thinking about it.Ba
Ari’s POVWhen I wake up, Anderson is working at his desk with Monty in his lap.The phone rings and Anderson answers.“Conrad Packhouse, Alpha Anderson,” He answers.“Yes, Alpha Zelle, thank you for calling me back……Yes, he made the threats today…….I know my Luna and he were dating………That doesn’t justify the threat to the Young Alpha……...Of course I can keep him safe………. If you aren’t going to take this seriously, I will involve the council……. Need I remind you he is the nephew of the Werewolf King. I am sure one call to King Caleb with the proof I have, and everyone will be singing a different tune………I thought you would see reason……. I will be informing my Luna; I can’t keep this from her.”He sees I’m awake and winks. I sit up and watch him.“I believe that is a wise decision. Since it was Hunter who brought it to my attention, I don’t see why he should have to leave……That is all we want as well……Thank you, Alpha.”“Dan making threats against Monty?” I ask as I stretch.“Juliet goi
Anderson’s POV“Darlin, you feel so good,” I pant as Ari rides me in my office chair.“You like this?” Ari asks. She doesn’t let me answer, instead she captures my lips to soften her moans as she clenches and releases on top of me.I thrust up a few times and I’m spent.She stays sitting on me while we kiss and tease each other.There is a knock on the door, so we break apart. I do up my pants while she opens the window, after adjusting her dress. She sits back in my lap before I call for whomever to come in.“Hello, big Bro,” Finley walks in and doubles over in laughter. “A human could smell what you two have been up to. Remember, these offices are not soundproofed. But the bathrooms are. Just FYI.”“Alpha and Luna had fun,” Everly teases too, coming in.“Is everyone coming in?” I ask, holding Ari tight.“Yeah, Turk and Romana were in the bathroom. They need a second,” Finley jokes and pulls Everly to his lap. She giggles and snuggles into him. “We had our bathroom break just before
