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.

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 55 Gideon "We still don't have any suspects. Does anyone come to mind?” I ask Alpha John and Logan as we sit in my office. Amelie's Luna ceremony is tonight under the crescent moon. We have over 350 guests, and almost all are Alphas and Lunas from all over the US. One of these so-called guests tried to harm my mate and my heir. "It's hard to say, but I don't feel it's one of the bigger packs as most are related to Amelie. They also wouldn't try to grab power like this. I do think whichever pack targeted Celeste 18 years ago is the same pack who tried to harm Amelie and my grandson." John is standing and pacing the length of my office. "I think Tate and that witch of a she-wolf have something to do with this. At least they are part of the plot." Alpha Logan growls as he sits with his arms folded on the sofa. "Logan's right. It only makes sense they are somehow involved. I think Tate tried to get Amelie pregnant, but since

Chapter 56 Gideon "Let me see, she is 26 and looks like she is a Beta's daughter. Her birth pack was Koray." We all look at each other there's no way that is a coincidence. Kory is Alpha Flynn’s pack and John’s cousin. Not to mention the financial power house to all packs through Flynn’s investment firm. To be the Beta’s daughter of a powerful pack came with privileges and gave Nox prestige. This smelled fishy. "Did they fake a Rogue attack too! Look at the dates. It's right after Hope found her mate the same week Amelie almost died in that fight with Tate. If she hadn't gotten away, what were they going to try and do with her!" I slam my fist on my desk, and I hear a cracking noise. "Gideon, calm down. We need to make a clear plan. It's the only way to take them down without repercussions from the Alpha and Elder Council. If we act prematurely, we will be the ones paying the price." John is yelling. I have never heard him yell before. I slump back in

Chapter 57 Amelie "OK, do your worst!" I jokingly say to Celeste's "Glam Squad." "Oh, honey! Stop it. You are going to scare the twins!" Celeste retorts. I look over at my daughters, and they are enjoying a bubble bath. "They look fine to me." "Relax, you are going to crack your mud mask." Sam, the glam squad leader, says. "Yes, ma'am!" I give her a salute. I lean back and try to relax, but I have so much on my mind. Someone tried to harm my baby. Would they try and hurt the twins? Tate and Karen still haven't been found, and I had a group of she-wolves that didn't respect me as their Luna. Along with all my pack duties and changes, I was implementing. Honestly, I don't know if I will ever be able to relax again. I feel two sets of tiny hands grabbing my arms. I look down, and the girls are out of their bath. "Mommy, why do you have green stuff on your face?" Rose asks. "It's called a mud mask. It

Chapter 58 Amelie "Please be seated." He pauses, allowing everyone to sit. "Thank you all for coming to witness my mate Amelie Ashwood's Luna Ceremony. She is my fated second-chance mate blessed to me by the moon goddess. Now she will become the blessing to the Druit Guard Pack and the mother of our next Alpha. We will start the Ceremony." I step to the left of my mother, Celeste, and Hope. I pick up an oak chalice. There is a basin of rainwater in front of them, and they are each holding a flower. Mom steps forward first. "I Anna Bye, Luna of the Black Hills Pack, give the blessing of the Mother Luna. You are a mother to all in your pack." She drops a pink carnation into the basin of rainwater. Then she extends a claw and cuts the palm of her hand. I raise the cup to catch the blood. "I accept the blessing of Mother Luna." I bow to my mother, and she smiles as she steps back. Hope steps forward. "I Hope Ashwood, Luna of

Chapter 59 Gideon "Please welcome Alpha Gideon Alois and Luna Amelie Ashwood." Everyone turns toward the door. I stand as tall as my 6-foot 5-inch frame will allow and pushing my Alpha aura out. My aura is different. Since I am the Alpha of the Druit Guard, I hold more authority. Only Alpha John has more. Tyson takes a deep breath before announcing. "Also welcome the Alpha and Lunas of the Ashwood Pack, Black Hills Pack, and the Hill Country Pack along with their heirs." We all enter the ballroom. I look over at Amelie, and her eyes are still glowing silver. I wonder if this will subside, It doesn't bother me, but it might scare some. I can feel her tension as she holds my arm. I'm glad we have her family behind us. It might make my plan for information gathering slightly more challenging but not impossible. I wanted to pretend we were a family divided or at least at odds, but after the display, the goddess put on that idea went out the

Chapter 60Gideon"Fight!" A young lady came running into the ballroom screaming. Amelie and I both rushed out to the back garden where the young she-wolf directed the fight was happening.As I rushed outside, I found an interesting sight. James, Riley, and Harlow are fighting off seven other Alpha and Beta Heirs. Three of them were already on the ground reeling in pain. It's a three-on-four-fight when I see the glint of metal in one of their hands as he charges for James. Ulv took over before I could react and leaped from the stairs and tackled the kid to the ground."That's enough!" Amelie screamed and pushed all her new Luna aura out. All the teens stopped and submitted on the spot. I had to fight, not bowing in submission.By now, all the parents were outside. "Take your children to bed. We will discuss this with each of you in the morning." I commanded. No one questioned me. The teens and their parents quickly left for their room

I yell out as I throw my laptop across my office."You know what we need?" Ulv breaks my tirade."What! Not your bullshit, that's for sure." I snarl at my wolf. I am in no mood."To kick someone's ass! Let's go to the training grounds and spare a bit." I can feel his excitement and mine melding together. "Maybe a run as well, and if we still have some tension left, maybe our beautiful Luna will soothe us." Ulv's idea sounds like the perfect way to relieve my stress and tension."My friend, those are all excellent ideas." The scowl on my face is replaced with a devilish grin as I leave my office and head down to the training grounds. I can't help but think about what has pushed me into this horrible mood.It's been two weeks since Amelie's Luna Cerem

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
Scars Chapter 88
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
