Gideon turns and looks at me while he rubs the back of his neck. "OK, come on, girls," I say and pat the spot next to me.
I can see the happiness on Gideon's face than a flash of disappointment. The girls crawl in bed and wiggle under the covers. Rose is next to me, and she looks up and touches my chest right above my heart. "When you have our flowers, can we call you mommy?"
Tears start welling up, "Yes, you can call me mommy."
Daisy pops up, "When will you have our flowers?"
Gideon joins the conversation. "When do you want Amelie to have your flowers?"
Daisy stands up in the bed, and with all the determination her little body can muster, she yells, "Right now!"
I can't help but laugh. She's so fierce for a three-year-old. "OK, but you need to understand that there is going to be blood. So don't get scared." Gideon tells them.

Chapter 47: Don't Mess With the Luna Amelie "Owe!" I wake up with a tiny arm smacking me in the face. I turn, and Gideon is waking up with a foot in his face. "I think we are going to need a bigger bed," I whisper as I slowly get up. There is a slight panic in Gideon's expression, "They can't sleep with us every night." I smile and head to the bathroom to get ready for the day. It's my first unofficial day as Luna, and I have so much I need to prepare for the Luna ceremony and pack duties. I knew what kind of Luna I was going to be. My focus would be on improving the lives of my pack members. I had a lot to dig into to do that. I knew I was going to enhance pack meals first and do some minor redecorating in the packhouse to prep for the Ceremony. I needed a team, and I knew just where to find them. I quickly get dressed. It's starting to warm up a bit, it's still ch

Chapter 48: The Luna is Here to Stay Gideon I should have never let a Jericho into my pack. Any Alpha children who apply to join my pack I personal review and interview. I felt sorry for the young Jericho girl a few years back. Maybe I was blinded by the loss of Mandy. I remember my interview with Von. She said she was trying to escape her family reputation and wanted a fresh start. Her family does have a horrible reputation, and the Blue Crescent pack has the highest rate of deserters. I have taken in many who have left because of her father, Blake Jericho. Von came here shortly after her brother Nox became Alpha. From what she said, three years ago, he more or less pushed her out, scared that her mate might challenge him for the Alpha title. She was a pack warrior, so she decided to apply to the Druit Guard instead of going Rouge. Now I wonder if that was her intent. I have had many a she-wolf try and

Chapter 49: Girl Power Amelie "Ladies, as the ranked females of this pack, we will focus our attention on improving the lives of all pack members. We also need to refine our pack's reputation from militant enforcers to investigators and relief responders. Should others fear us? Yes, but they should also see us as hope." They all stare at me with wide eyes. During the month together at the Ashwood pack, I got to know Gideon and how the pack operates, and I outlined changes I felt needed to be made. Some would be quick and easy. Others would take years to develop fully. My ideas and solutions floored Gideon. He gave me free rein to use my authority to improve the pack. He said he knew I was always meant for him to make the pack stronger than he could ever on his own. He permitted me to use whatever resources I needed. So am taking the ranked females under my wing.

Chapter 50: Pack Party Amelie The next thing I knew, Gideon stood and pulled everyone's attention to him. "Druit Guard! Our Luna has given us another blessing. Shay Marshall, Jorden Rodriguez, and Becky Sanders, please stand." All three ladies stand proudly. "I know you all felt these powerful ladies' aurae as soon as they walked into the room. There is a reason for that. They are now officially the same rank as their mates. They Serve the Luna as her eyes, ears, and hands as the Beta, Gamma, and Delta females of our pack. Their strength and power have increased. They have also been blessed with the upgraded pack mark of the Luna. Our pack is stronger with them. Tonight, we will throw a feast in these she-wolves' honor and the blessing from the moon goddess." He ends it with a roar, and the hall erupts in howls of approval. The look on the faces of Tyson, Marcus, and Benjamin was priceless. We finished lunch, headed ba

Chapter 51 Amelie "Mommy, wake up everyone is coming today." A tiny hand caresses my face. As I open my eyes, I see Rose sitting on the bed next to me. "Good morning, Rosie sweetheart." I pull her into a hug. I look around to see where Daisy is, and to my amusement, I see her jump in the air and land square on Gideon's chest. Not only waking him up but also knocking the wind out of him a little. I hold back my laughter as Gideon turns and looks to me for help. "Daisy, honey, you can't do that to daddy. You might hurt him." Daisy stands on the bed with her arms curled in the air like a bodybuilder and growls, "Nothing can hurt, daddy. He's the toughest wolf in the world." Gideon grabs her and tickles her, and she squeals. "That's right; your daddy's the toughest daddy in the world. Don't forget it." He lets up only for a second before tickling her again. "OK, girls, sit on the bed and be good while mommy and daddy

Chapter 52 Amelie "I know. I am just excited. This will be the first time they will meet the girls, see the Packhouse and see me as a Luna." I squeeze his hand. "You are a perfect Luna! It's like you were born to be one!" he winks at me. We both laugh together. "Well, my lookouts tell me that the first of our guests are arriving soon." Gideon has strategically asked certain Alphas to come early today to discuss ongoing investigations and other inter-pack business. Since my family will stay a few extra days, they didn't come early but will handle pack business in the next few days. "OK, I'm going to take the girls and head over to the main packhouse first and check on the staff." I take a few more bites of food before grabbing the girls and heading to the main Packhouse. Shay and Easton join us as Jorden takes Ryan to check on the ceremony preparations outside. It's now early spring, so that the evening will be perfect for an out

Chapter 53 Amelie Gideon and I brought the girls into our room while we got ready. I had decided on one shoulder fitted cocktail dress that hit mid-thigh in navy blue—paired with gold strappy sandal pumps, gold and lace agate earrings I made. I picked out a navy-blue button-up for Gideon and grey slacks and tan loafers. I top him off with a vest that matched his slacks, and of course, he rolled up his sleeves and left the top two buttons of his shirt undone. I knew the girls would want to match us even if they were not going to the cocktail party after dinner, so I already had a navy-blue dress ready for them. They were fluffy and frilly and also had a little glitter in the fabric. They looked like the night sky. Once they were in their fancy dress, they just kept twirling till they fell down. I put Celeste's training into action. These looked like ordinary evening clothes, but I knew better it was battel armor. We were going to be starti

Chapter 54AmelieWhen I came back, the servers passed out champion and sparkling cider, prepping for Gideon's toast. I make my way to Gideon's side. A server came past and brought me some sparkling cider and Gideon champion. The room dimes a bit more, and there is a spotlight on Gideon and me."I would like to thank you all for coming and helping us celebrate this momentous occasion. I was lucky enough to be blessed by the goddess in many ways, but the biggest blessing has come in the form of my second-chance-mate, Amelie Ashwood. As all of you know, she is the eldest daughter of the Ashwood Pack and the Black Hills Pack and sister of the Hill Country Pack. The greatest blessing of all is our soon-to-be explaining family. Please raise your glasses in a toast to my Luna, mate, and mother of my children." Everyone claps and cheers while toasting.Gideon and I raise our glasses to each other and take a drink. As soon as I smell the cider, I pu

Chapter 90 Gideon "Alright, gentlemen, what's today's topic?" I take a seat on the sofa next to James, John, and Harlow. Flynn, Logan, and Rylie are sitting across from us on the other couch. "The raid and the New Moon Alliance issue has found its way overseas to the International Councils. They are calling a review of the incident. So, in other words, we all have to go on a trip." John sighs. This was to be expected, but it's still a pain. "So where are we being dragged to this time?" Logan grunts. Now that he is part of the Alpha Council and played a significant role in the raid, he was required to attend. Logan didn't like traveling more than a few hours from his pack, so this was a major annoyance. "South Korea." "What!?" Logan stood up in protest. "Hell No! I'm not going!" "Alpha Logan, you know very well you don't have a choice. You and your heir are required to attend as we all are." Flynn l

Chapter 89 Amelie "Oh no, no no no! Got you!" I lift Aspen in the air, and the sound of his giggles is the world's sweetest music. "Where do you think you're going, mister!" Birch squeals as I pick him up in my other arm. Escaping mom is our favorite game these days. I can't believe they turned one today. My little trees are growing so fast, and of course, since they are always around older kids, they have developed very quickly and have already started walking. "Daisy, Rose, girls, can you help me with your brothers for a second?" I pop my head out of my bedroom door, looking for signs of my daughters. They come tumbling out of their bedroom door. "Yes, mommy, we can help." Rose eagerly bounces past me into my bedroom. Daisy twirling behind. I set the boys down on the floor with their toys. "Thank you, girls. Once mommy is ready, she will help you get ready for the party. Are you excited to see your grandparents?" "We w

Chapter 88 Gideon I must hurry. I'm whipping through the mountains running the best direct route I can. My lungs burn my paws feel like they will split and bleed at any moment, but stopping is not an option. I don't know what happened, but Daisy was hurt, and Amelie is in a lot of pain. I'm still too far to bond-link her, but I feel her. I feel a sharp rock split my paw; I keep going. "Ulv, we need to dig deep. How do we use our fae and elf magic?" "Not sure, never tried." Ulv is as determined as I am. Nothing is stopping us. Ulv is in control, so I concentrate and search for a trigger to our magic. We needed the boost desperately. I first searched by exploring the bonds that will help me find our core and where Ulv and I are connected. When Ulv is in control, I usually don't fully let go. The only other time was during Amelie's heat, and then I focused on her and our spiritual connection. I start with my mate bond. It's like a

Chapter 87 Amelie No! Somethings wrong! My chest feels tight. It's Daisy. What's wrong. My body moves before my thoughts can catch up. I have to get to the great room now. The pack-link was alerted too. I move as fast as I can. I feel someone coming up from behind me. I turn my head and see Shay and Jordan closing the gap on me. Becky and Bailey are following close behind. "You feel it too?" I don't stop; I keep running. "Easten is terrified." It sounds like his mother is too. "I've never felt this much rage and fear from Ryan." Jordan's tone is anxious. "We just saw everyone leave and felt we should follow. What's going on?" Becky is already panting. "I don't know, but it's the kids." I keep looking forward; I must keep moving forward. We are greeted with a paralyzing scene. I see wolves I've never seen before. They have all the Omegas and pups corralled in the corner. They have silver weapons, and the O

Chapter 86 Gideon "Let her go, you coward." Beta Newman snarls through gritted teeth. Lacy is strangely calm as the bright silver blade is positioned at her ebony neck. It's as if Nox is holding the still night hostage, but by the look in Lacy's eyes, the night was about to strike back. "Nox, why are you doing this? I am your mate. You love me." Lacy's tone didn't match her face. I could tell she was buying time. I didn't know why. I could only play along and trust father and daughter. "Oh, Lacy dear. I've never loved you. You were just a means to an end. Although you are a tempting means." Nox takes a deep inhale of Lacy's scent. This must have been what she was waiting for. Lacy digs her claws in Nox's side. He drops his arm holding the knife, and she rushes to her father's arms. "You bitch! You will pay for that! Don't think I will treat you as nicely as before." Nox is holding his side but now has the silver blade pointed at me. He must be

Chapter 85 Amelie "Are coms up between packs?" This is it. The day of reckoning has finally come. "Yes, Luna, everyone is connected." Magen gives me a nod and waits for my call. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I hate being the center of anything, but now was not the time to falter. "OK. Let's get everyone connected." With a few keystrokes, the wall of monitors lights up. "Hello, everyone. Our warriors need our eyes, ears, and prayers. Our central team will be watching the action, but we will need your help as well. Thank you all for joining virtually this evening. Let the Goddess be on our side." I have three monitors on the desk in front of me connected to Gideon, dad, James, Riley, and Logan. We spread out all the ranked members joining the raid, so Marcus went with my dad and James. At the same time, Tyson and Uncle Lucas went to one of the separate off-pack faculties together. Some of the Luna's and ranked females are also joining the raid

Chapter 84Amelie"I'm doing the best I can to wrap my brain around all of this, but to be honest, it's overwhelming. Why are we and our children so important to the goddess? Why did Ulv and Inari get reincarnated? Why does the world need Truth Seers and Guardians? We haven't even addressed the royal elf blood or how I'm now part fae! How did you become the goddess' messenger? And why is this tea so good?" Gideon's fist slams down on the table, and he's staring at the mug of tea with complete befuddlement."hehehe." I can't help all those questions, and he ends asking about the tea. I feel like my head is going to explode with all this information. It's like we are a big science experiment, just lab rats. As my thoughts darkened, my giggling stopped."Don't doubt the goddess you are precious. Our children are precious." Inari coos to me. I don't answer; I don't need to. I know she's right, but it doesn't make it feel any better."I do

Chapter 83Gideon"Hello, my boy. Come hug your grandmother." She's so familiar to me for some reason. I have this sense of comfort, almost motherly. She's beautiful but more in a celestial or angelic way. Her hair is white but has an iridescent quality to it. She feels ancient but barely looks 40. Her eyes are the same as mine, deep green, and I look at them every day in the mirror and in the girls. I feel a push from behind.I look back, and Amelie pushes me forward and waves her hand for me to go to this woman. I shake my head 'no,' and she pushes me again. I feel drawn to her, but I'm hesitant to give in to that urge."Daddy, come give grandma a hug!" Daisy grabs one of my hands and Rose the other, and they pull me toward the mysterious woman. I could resist them easily, but I don't. I'm standing in front of her. She has her arms outstretched, and she pulls me into a hug. It's the most soothing feeling I've felt since before my mot

Chapter 82 Amelie "Don't be nervous." Gideon places his hand on my knee to stop it from bouncing. I look up into his beautiful green eyes, full of confidence and strength. "I'm not nervous. I just want this whole mess to be done with. I'm anxious for the end." He gives me a sympathetic smile, "Me too." "Alpha, Luna, everyone is signed in. Are you ready to begin?" Marcus readies his laptop. Gideon gives him a nod, and the wall of monitors in front of us lights up. He quickly takes his place behind us next to Jordan and our ranked pack members. Gideon adjusts the microphone sitting on his desk in front of him. "Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining this virtual meeting. As many of you know, we are up agisting a threat from our own kind. They have been working in the shadows gaining bits of power here and there, pulling Alphas to their side. Their worst offenses are kidnapping, murder, and extortion. They have been lurking i
