POV: GiannaEveryone was silent. All eyes were on us. Then I hear it.“Awe baby are you ok?” Octavia’s voice screech.My eyes scrunched in dissatisfaction.I released Rasheed and he stands up bowing to me slightly. I’m still embarrassed so I bow back and walk toward my parents.“Sweetheart, I am so proud of you. You are going to be a great leader. You showed everyone that you are loyal to the crown, and you will protect it. I’m so proud of you” Dad says.I nod and tell them I am going to walk around and mingle with some of the other Alpha’s.I see Trigger talking to a few younger Alpha’s and I walk towards them, hoping to squeeze my way into the conversation, but before I can reach them, I hear some stupid Alpha talking.“Did you see how she caught him, I bet he was embarrassed that he not only fell, but also a woman caught him.” An Alpha says.A growl escapes my lips.“Embarrassing? Is that so? How is it embarrassing when the new King is taking on all the voices in his head? Tell me
POV: GiannaTomorrow I am bringing my baby boy home. My sweet Onyx.I am currently in his nursery folding a ton of clothes, I made sure to wash all his clothes, so they won’t irritate his skin.I am stacking diapers, when in walks Icing and Nova.“What are you doing?” Icing asks.“I’m getting the nursery ready for your nephew. Would you like to help?”“Sure!” she exclaims.We are almost done and in walks my dad and the girls run out snickering. He goes to touch one of Onyx’s outfits and I growl.“Sorry dad, I didn’t mean to.”“You sounded just like your mother when she was pregnant with Aaron. It’s called nesting sweetheart; she was so protective of his room. She wouldn’t even let me in there for a while. It was worse with you, her little princess.” He says with a chuckle.“I wish things were different, but things happen for a reason. I only hope when I meet my mate, he will be willing to accept Onyx, if not I will have to reject him.”I sigh feeling dejected. I give him a sad smile a
POV: GiannaIt’s been a few weeks since Onyx has been home, and I am so happy.My parents have left for their trip and left me with the Alpha duties. They should be home soon. It’s been almost a week since they left. It is also closer to the Red Moon party we are hosting this year. Mom didn’t tell me how crazy it will be planning it with a newborn, but I will get through this. It just so happens that the Red Moon party is the day before my birthday, so I have a ton of planning to finish.Onyx is currently napping, I just put him down and I look like a mess. I get a mind link from Aaron saying the King has arrived.I completely forgot he was coming over for baking lessons and to go over some ideas with each other.“Aaron, can you stall him for a few minutes. I need to change I have spit up all over me and I look a mess.”I hear him chuckle and then he agrees. That gives me five minutes.I rush upstairs and take my lounge clothes off. I grab a pair of black jeans and a black T-shirt I f
POV: GiannaThe Red Moon party is tomorrow, and I feel like I have so much to do still.Mom and dad won’t be here until late tonight which means I must greet some guest coming in tonight. Also, the day after the Red Moon party is officially my birthday, dad has invited all the Alpha’s to come for my official Alpha ceremony. Did I forget to mention that I am also planning that with NO HELP. Goddess take the wheel.I am making sure all the guest rooms are ready for their arrivals and there will be enough food for dinner tonight, when Sierra mind links me.“Hey Gia, we have a problem” she says.“Ok meet me in my office” I link back.I head to my office to see what the newest issue is. I hear Onyx crying and I head over to get him. Sierra and Storm are waiting for me by my door.“Ladies, come on in.” I say.I walk in and sit behind my desk. Onyx drifts off back to sleep and I place him in his bassinet.“So, what is the problem?”“Well…. The issue is with the King” Sierra states nervously.
POV: GiannaThankfully mom and dad arrived shortly after the King did and they took over the welcoming. It’s almost time for dinner so I race upstairs to my room to get ready. I go flying into my room only to see the King in nothing but a towel. I stare at him unable to control my body. His lean, but muscular caramel complexion is so tantalizing. I follow the water droplets down his six pack and a little further down to his V shape. I hear someone clearing their throat, and I look up.I see the biggest smile on the King’s face.“Did you forget you gave me your room, or did you just want to stare at me like a piece of meat, not that I mind though” he asks.“I am so sorry, I forgot I gave you my room in my rush. It won’t happen again. I hope you enjoy the Hennessy, maybe we can have a drink later.” My cheeks are beet red.“I’d like that very much; we can meet in the doorway after dinner.” He chuckles while pointing to the door that separates my room from Onyx’s room.After that utter em
POV: RasheedI’m getting ready in my room when the tantalizing smell of vanilla cupcakes hits me. It is so overpowering; I am unable to move or talk or even think straight. I know my mate is here. I am kind of bummed, to tell you the truth I was hoping it was Gianna that was my mate. I feel such a pull towards her, I just can’t understand why.I rush out the door to find my mate and I am met with Gianna holding a tray of vanilla cupcakes. She blushes at the sight of me, and it is then that I realize I only have on boxers. She quickly turns around blushing even harder.“Your majesty, I brought you some more cupcakes, I heard you were running low and decided to make you some more.” she bashfully says.I grab the cupcakes and tell her thank you. They smell so good, I can’t believe I mistaken them as my mate’s scent, how foolish.I head back into my room, and it seems as though the cupcake scent is not as strong. My brain is just all muddled.I put on my black and purple suit, fix my hair
POV: RasheedWe head to the dance floor along with all the newly mated couples. To be honest I was hoping that both my Beta, Gamma and I would all have mates by the end of the night. Alex already has a mate and Trigger well who knows if he even wants a mate. I shake off the thought while I have this beauty on my arm.The lighting sparkles off her skin making her appear as if she was glowing, almost Fae like. She is beautiful. I look down at her and smile. She is such a kind soul; Ican’t wait to see how great of an Alpha she will become.At Last, by Etta James comes blaring through the speakers. What a fantastic song Gianna picked as the first dance. It is very befitting.We bow to each other, and she places her hand into my hand and the other along my waist. I pull her in close wanting to savor this moment. We glide along the dance floor, and I have never danced with someone so well in my life. She is an impeccable dancer. The moment is short lived as her eyes glaze over as someone i
POV Rasheed:I can’t sleep at all; I keep smelling vanilla cupcakes and I honestly think I am losing my mind. I don’t know if it is from being at the bakery with Gianna or what, but the smell followed me back to my room.“Trig…. Trig, you awake?” I mind link Trigger.“Yeah man, I’m a little preoccupied with a she wolf at the moment, can it wait?” Trigger links back.“It can wait enjoy your evening” I say and close off the mind link.Man, what am I going to do, I have feelings for a she wolf who hasn’t even shifted. An annoying she wolf back home that I promised I would make my Queen Luna and, I can’t get the smell of them damn cupcakes Gianna makes out of my nose. I am straight up going through it right now. My head is so muddled, I need a drink and a dessert. I get out the bed and go to the bar to pour myself a drink.“Lucas please don’t leave me! Please stay open youreyes Lucas PLEASE.”I hear screaming and it sounds like Gianna, I rush into her room and find her thrashing on the b
POV Gianna:Rasheed and I have officially moved into the former palace, although I guess it would be the new palace. I’m confusing myself. Anyway. We moved in and in a few days, I will become Queen of the Fae’s and Rasheed the King.My mother has not allowed me to plan anything, she said it is a custom for the leaving Queen to make all the arrangements for the new Queen.I have already been dolled up, I just need some help putting on my dress, Rasheed is the only one allowed to help me. I wait for my husband to finish getting ready in his closet.He walks out wearing an all-white suit with an iridescent shimmer to the suit jacket. He looks so yummy. I lick my lips lustfully at my husband.“A little different than what we are used to right baby?” He says.He makes eye contact with me and see’s my lustful eyes.“Gianna, we cannot start something this close to the ceremony. As much as I want to, your mother will kill me if we are late.” He says.“Please, just a little quickie?” I plead.
POV Gianna:Next month is our big move to the former palace. I am packing some items in my closet, and I come across a box I have not seen in years. I grab it down and wipe the dust off.I open the box and it is full of pictures and memorabilia of when I was younger, I sit down and go through it. I find some pictures of me and Aaron, some movie passes to some movies, then I come across something I have looked for, for a very long time.I take the bracelet out that Lucas gave me for my fourteenth birthday, my eyes glisten with tears and my mood saddens.“Oh Lucas, I wish you could see how everything turned out. Onyx is now Alpha of our pack; I am going to be a double Queen. Life has definitely turned out not how I was expecting. I miss you my dear friend, my first love.”A few tears escape my eyes and I wipe them away. I can smell my husband enter our bedroom and I quickly put the box back where it was.“You know it’s okay to miss him still.” Rasheed says.He comes up behind me and wra
POV Onyx:It’s been a few weeks since I defeated Flint and mom has decided to move up my Alpha ceremony. Which is quite earth-shattering, my mother is a very calculated woman. She is a super planner, so when she told me and my dad that we are moving it up a whole month we were dumbfounded.I am beyond excited to take over, they have trained me well for this.“Hey, Onyx how’s it goingggg?” Savvy asks.Oh boy, I know this is going to be something I am going to regret helping her with.“Yes, Savanna what do you need?”She excitedly jumps herself into a chair in my office with a plop.“SOOO, I was thinking maybe you can convince mom to let me stay here until after I shift then go and move with them, to train more? Hmm what do you say big brother, almighty future Alpha King.” She side eyes me.I know what she is doing, she is trying to stroke my ego and it is kind of working. I let out a sigh.“Savanna, why is it that you want to stay here with us and not move with mom and dad? I can think
POV Onyx:I have just shifted, and I am enjoying my mother pet me. When I smell something, I thought I would not have to smell ever again. My mother almost died fighting off my father the last time.Not today, I will end this once and for all. I let out a defensive growl and push my mother behind me.“Hello Father”The look on my mother’s face is priceless, my wolf just spoke out loud.The smirk on my father’s face is short lived. I shift back into my human form.“I Onyx Lucas Jones challenge you Flint Hugo Martinez. To fight to the death. No rules. This ends today.”“Oh no, Onyx what have you done.” I hear my mother say.“I accept” Flint says.He looks over to my mother and I see my father’s wolf running full speed to get to us. My father shifts and steps in front of me and my mother. Punching Flint in his face. He stumbles and my father tries to hit him again. This time my mother stopping him.“Rasheed, Stop! Onyx just challenged him, and he accepted.” My mother says.“Absolutely no
POV Gianna (fifteen years later):I cannot believe it is Onyx’s seventeenth birthday. Boy have things change; we now have four children.Surprise, the night we rekindled our love was the night we conceived Niayla.Savanna is in Fae and werewolf training while Jahziel is only in werewolf training. Savanna will eventually take over for me as Queen when the time is right.Oh yes, I almost forgot. I will become Queen in a short few months. Once Onyx officially becomes Alpha of our pack.He is doing well with training, surpassing both his father and my skills. He is going to be a wonderful Alpha and an Excellent King once the time comes.My parents have had enough of being King and Queen of the Fae’s and just want to travel and enjoy themselves. I can so relate, but as Queen of the Werewolves and future Queen of the Fae’s I have a duty. Rasheed and I also decided to move into the former werewolf palace to be closer to Onyx and the kids, as they wish to train with the Werewolves. They have
POV Gianna:We pop home and into my office. Rasheed smirks and wraps his arms around me. I lean back and look up to him.“Shall we finish that dream of yours my Queen?” Rasheed smirks.I know I should be mad and angry with him, but this man is my one and only. He makes my heartbeat fast with anticipation. Makes the butterflies flutter in my stomach. He is my other half. The love of my life.I smile up at him. He hoist me up, I wrap my legs around his waist, and we walk over to the couch. Talk about déjà vu.I undress leaving my bra and panties on. Rasheed is in his boxers in no time licking his lips, with lustful eyes.I lean forward and hook my finger in his boxer enjoying the view of his massive bulge. I start slowly bringing down his boxers.“Watch out he might poke you in the eye” Rasheed smirks.“Oh, I plan on putting him somewhere not too far from there.”I see his member jump in excitement. I blow out a breath as I take his member in my hand. The precum is already seeping out a
POV Gianna:It’s been six weeks since Rasheed told me he cheated on me. Six weeks of him trying to make it up to me. Six weeks of me fighting to remain strong and not give in so quickly. I am not going to lie, I wanted him to take me that night he confessed everything, but I needed to remain strong.I have decided to let him know that he can move back into our bedroom today. We will take things slow and see how they go.“Rasheed, when you are available, could you please come to my office?” I mind link him.Within minutes he was knocking at my door. I know he has a meeting with Trigger right now so I am a little irritated that he would blow it off. He walks in with a huge smile on his face.“You wanted to see me my Queen?” He asks.“Aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting with Trigger about expanding some businesses?”“Yes, but the contractors are occupied and asked if we can push it back until tomorrow.” He says.“Okay, well I will make it quick then, I think it would be best if you mo
POV Gianna:It’s been a few hours since the baby shower and Trigger comes out holding a little baby boy wrapped in an emerald green blanket.“Everyone I would like you all to meet Kai Joseph Smith” Trigger says.He angles him so we can all see but not touch.“Gianna, Alex wanted you to be the first to hold him.” Trigger says.My eyes glisten at the honor, Trigger places Kai into my arms and his little hand grabs my finger with force.“He has a strong grip; he’s going to make a phenomenal warrior.” I say.“He came out punching” Trigger laughs.After a while, I hand him back to Trigger and the doors to the mom and baby open again. Aaron walks out with a sadden face.Oh no, what happened. I rush up to him only for him to grab me into a bear hug.“MY BOY IS HERE!” He shouts into my ear.“You scared me. I thought something happened to the baby or Storm.”He chuckles and tells me Storm wants to see me. I walk into her room which is right next to Alex’s. They might as well be in the same roo
POV Gianna:I have thrown myself into work even more. I am no longer concerned with Rasheed. We have not spoken since that day he told me he emotionally cheated. He has tried, but I am not having it. We put on a front for the pack, but our high ranks know what is going on. Rasheed has a big mouth; I want to keep my personal business to myself. Many have reached out to me to see if I am okay. I tell them all the same things. I am fine!Today is the day of the baby shower and I of course am overseeing the party planning. We decided on a safari theme.I walked into the hall and instantly see where adjustments needed to be made. The table clothes were not cream colored like I wanted. They were white. The party start in two hours. I need these to be changed as soon as possible.I made carrot cupcakes and mini cheesecakes instead of one big cake.The foods are all finger foods. We have trees, vines hanging from the ceiling, large wildlife stuffed animals.I have the chairs for the moms to b
