“I have to admit, I’m becoming a fan of Miss Tilly’s food. It definitely hits the spot.” Cadmus said with a nod as he finished the last of his burger and started to clean up the garbage. I nodded and helped clean up, throwing it all in the garbage before going back and sitting with him on the couch, cuddling into his side.
“I’m glad you’re a fan.” I chuckled and rested my head on his chest, holding his hand and sighing in contentment.
“I’m more a fan of this than anything else. I enjoy the quiet moments we get together.” He murmured as he kissed the top of my head.
“We haven’t had enough of them, unfortunately. And there's been no time at all to have any sort of conversation.” I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair.
“And what type of conversation are you wanting to
Dun Dun Dun.
As the tables were set up and Vigo from the cafeteria started bringing out dish after dish with the help of the cafeteria staff. It all smelt amazing and the tables were quickly filled with people taking their seats at the tables and then at the benches for overflow. People were buzzing as the setup happened, the air smelt amazing and various kills from the hunters last night had been slow roasting on spots all day long. It was more than enough food to feed a full pack of ravenous wolves and their guests of four dragons. I sat in my chair at the bed of the first table and smiled at Gram who was across the table from me in the throne for the Luna. The image made me misty-eyed momentarily as it was my mother so imagined and I know Gram was imagining her children and husband. It was sad but at the same time, we were extremely grateful to be back toge
The atmosphere was tense, every single person on edge as the black wolves stalked along the outskirts of the gathering, snarling and nipping at anyone who tried to make a run for it. There were gasps and cries of kids as their parents held them close and tried to soothe them, the air thick with the miasma and the undeniable stench of fear. I kept my gaze on the Alpha and stood ready for an attack, his bright wolf eyes in hues of amber scanned the crowd before landing on me surrounded by my men. : Well well well well, Little Alpha is now crowned, but still no mate. You are leaving your people vulnerable for your own selfish reasons, Feilan. : There were surprised shrieks and gasps from some as his rough voice was heard through a mass mind link, talking to everyone at once. I glared at him and knew my eyes were glowing dark emerald with my wolf close to the sur
After everything had been cleaned and escorted back to their homes and barracks< I made my way home, making sure Gram and Gigi got some rest before heading into my home office with Kane, Magnus, Cadmus, Laris, Alaric and Elle. Tristan was out leading patrols with Ezra and Echo who had been appointed as my lead warriors. They were all making sure that the pack lands were fully covered as well as Brodryn and Blaze doing aerial patrols to see if they could find anything the wolves missed.I sat in my office and looked at everyone gathered, sighing as I knew there were bound to be a lot of questions I’m not sure anyone had answers for. How could I answer any questions confidently when I was just as in the dark as they were. I wasn’t even sure there was a way to find answers, not if the council wasn’t willing to help.“We need to talk to t
Life became extremely hectic over the next month and it felt like there was no time to stop and take a breather. We hadn’t seen the black wolves at all for a month and it left us extremely nervous. Why the near-constant attacks and then just stop all of a sudden? It didn’t make sense. Turns out, they were back to attacking other packs, only this time, it was resulting in the deaths of a few wolves from each pack. It wasn’t just attacks in this region either, it now became attacks all over North America. Did this mean their numbers were larger than we had originally assumed? Were there multiple factions of these black wolves? A lot of things were still left unanswered, but thankfully we did manage to get some of our questions answered. With all of the contacts we had, we were able to get a pretty extensive and knowledgeable network of shared information. Kane had reached out to the packs he was allied with
After Magnus left my office to allow me to finish my work, I was so busy I had no time to think. I was focused solely on completing the day's work so that I had nothing distracting me from finally being with Magnus. I was vibrating with nervous energy as I sat in my office the rest of the day, my insides churning and my dragon thrumming just under my skin. She yearned for her mate and I could feel it in every fibre of my being.It was a somewhat more intense yearning than what my wolf felt for Kane, maybe because Kane and my wolf had already mated whereas my dragon had never had the chance to fulfil that until now. She was also restless and I could feel her scratching to get out, to stretch her wings and feel the sun on her scales. I hadn’t let her out since we flew home and she was not happy. She wasn’t a completely separate entity, more like she was me but different, with separate insti
“Shall we go in Darling? I can smell dinner from here.” Magnus said as he tilted his head up into the air and scented before turning back to look at me, his indigo eyes bright and pulling my focus.I nipped some scales at his neck before scenting the air and inhaling the scent of hearty pot roast, savoury potatoes and vegetables. I felt my mouth water and my stomach rumbled loud in anticipation of the meal. I detangled myself from Magnus, rather clumsily might I add. After an indignant huff in response to his chuckling, I picked myself off the ground and shook out my body, stretching out my wings and legs. I could feel my dragon's reluctance to switch back and as such, it took longer to shed the form and slip back to my human form. It left me a little drained as I made my way toward my clothes.“The shift looked difficult. Are you ok?” M
The next morning I woke to feather-light kisses along my bare shoulders and the feeling of fingertips being dragged slowly and delicately along my back. I hummed with a smile on my face and rolled over, smiling at Magnus as he gazed down at me, a warm smile on his face, his indigo eyes shining. I lifted my hand and ran it through his hair before cupping his face and rubbing my thumb over his soft bottom lip. He chuckled and nipped the pad of my thumb before capturing my lips in a slow and sweet good morning kiss. “Morning Darling. Did you sleep well?” He asked quietly, his warm breath fanning across my lips. I nodded and kissed him once more before pulling back to look at him. “I had an amazing sleep, Magnus. Did you?” “I did. The best sleep I’ve had in a very long time. I am a bit of an insomniac and sleep is ha
After they were gone, I took a shower and then decided to relax in a nice warm bubble bath. I was wrapped in a towel, fresh from the shower and filling the tub up with water and adding in a few bath bombs when I felt him come into the room. I turned my head and watched as Blaze grinned at me and leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his bare chest and his pants low on his hips and not at all hiding what he had under them. I blushed and looked down, feeling the temperature of the water and turning it off once it was full.I turned back to look at Blaze as he watched me, his eyes glowing like rubies with the power of his dragon, a dark and hungry look as he watched me. I undid the tie of my robe and slipped it off my shoulders and let it drop onto the floor, shivering at the low rumble to come out of his chest. I stood there naked as I put my hair up into a messy bun, my skin covered in goosebu
I woke in the morning feeling warm and secure, two sets of arms wrapped snugly around me with Kane’s face in my neck and Magnus’s in my hair. That couldn’t be comfortable. I sighed in contentment and basked in the feel of being wrapped up in my mates before slowly and carefully sneaking out of the bed. I made my way into the bathroom and did my business before washing my hands and glancing in the mirror. The moment I did a gasp left my lips as I noticed something different about the marks on my neck. The claiming bit had been red and was healing as a cut would, but now it was a mark on my skin, almost like a tattoo. It was dark and flat, the skin smooth and unmarred and it was in the shape of teeth marks. Like a brand of his canines on my skin. Kane’s mark was also healed and like a tattoo. The difference was that it looked like the moon with his canines around it. It reminded me ok Skoll and Hati, the wolves that would devour the moon and sun in Ragnarok. Hati would devour the moo
I walked into the suite and found my men lounging on the couch in a very relaxed and domesticated manner. Kane was just in sweats and he sat in the corner of the sectional going over a few papers from a folder, a small frown of concentration on his face. Magnus was just in his soft black lounge pants and was on the recliner part of the sectional with a book in his hand and a cup of tea beside him on the coffee table. I smiled fondly before I made my way into the bedroom to change into something more comfortable. I stripped out of the pants and set them aside before finding a pair of lavender athletic short shorts and slipped them on, deciding to keep my crop long sleeved shirt on and instead just took off my bra, sighing in relief as the contraption was gone. Confining uncomfortable piece of fabric torture but necessary all the same. I put my hair up into a messy bun as I made my way back into the main room and grabbed a cold glass of water before going to the couch and laying down s
I sat with Mira in the silence of my office until a young girl who worked in the kitchen knocked on the door and came in with a cart that had tea and snacks for us. I thanked her as she set up everything on the coffee table before leaving the room. I set two cups infront of us and poured some tea, leaving the sugar and cream withing easy reach of Mira to make her as she liked. I sipped my tea that I had made a little sweeter than normal and moved the food tray closer to her.“There’s no judgement here Mira. You’re not in trouble and nothing will happen to you, I give you my word as both Luna of this pack and Alpha of my own. I can keep you safe and away from him.”I spoke softly,watching the surprise in her eyes before if was replaced with fear and shame, emotions she should never have to feel when it came to her mate.“I don’t know why I let it get this so bad. I was strong and confident and I thought I could recognize this behaviour. I’m a nurse for crying out loud, we’re trained to
I walked into the bedroom and stripped out of my clothes, smiling to myself as I could hear them getting closer. I went into the shower and turned the water on hot, stepping in and letting it soothe my skin. I felt it the moment they entered the bathroom, the atmosphere shifting to something carnal and heavy. I turned to face them as I stayed under one of the shower heads in this huge walk-in glass shower, running my hands through my hair as I watched them stalk towards me naked and ready. Gods was that ever a marvellous view. They both stepped into the shower and closed the glass door behind them, trapping us in the steam. I bit my lip and shivered as they stood under the same showerhead and helped each other get their hair and bodies wet. I ached and throbbed all over just from watching and I knew they could smell my arousal heavy in the air. They turned to face me at the same time and moved till Magnus was behind me and Kane was in front of me. I brought my hands up and ran th
I stirred in the morning and sighed as I felt the warm body pressed to my back and smiled as I was enveloped in the combined scents of Kane and Magnus. Feeling only one body in bed with me had me opening my eyes and seeing Kane’s side of the bed empty and a small note on his pillow. I reached over and looked at his neat cursive and felt a spark of silly jealousy, my chicken scratch would never be this nice. : Babe, I had some things that required my attention since I’ve been gone for a while. I will make sure that the pack knows of your multiple mates so that you are free to act with Magnus and Brodryn as you wish to. I will also make sure no one says anything about it. Relax with Magnus for the remainder of the morning and I will come around lunch or whenever it is I manage to finish up. Love A : I was so used to calling him Kane that it surprised me to see him refer to himself as Alistair. Maybe I should actually ask him what he preferred me to call him. I stretched out and set the
I looked around the space in awe, it was open concept and beautifully set up. There was a nice clean entranceway that opened up into a spacious living room with cream coloured couches, a navy blue coloured recliner chair, pale grey walls with one navy blue accent wall that was decorated with a collage, a large tv over an electric fireplace, and a huge window that overlooked the side of the house and it was a nice view. The kitchen was just to the side of the living room and it was amazing. The large stove, butcher block countertops, the stainless steel appliances and all the cabinetry were a nice navy blue colour with brass handles. It was to die for. I was so jealous of his kitchen and I knew Gram would have been for sure as well. I walked through the space and came to a home office that was decorated with shades of grey and cream and some navy accents like the curtains and a few comfy chairs on the other side of the black wood desk. It was a nice space but definitely masculine. I
I woke in the morning to the feel of light kisses on my neck and warm arms pulling me close to a heated chest. I hummed in contentment as I turned in his arms, burrowing my face into his chest and kissing the skin over his heart. “Good morning, beautiful.” Brodryn murmured as he kissed me, his voice deeper and laced with sleep. I chuckled and kissed him back softly before stretching and groaning from how good it felt. “What time are we heading out?” I ask as I look over to Echo’s bed and don’t see him but the shower is running so he’s still in the room. “Once we’re all ready and have everything together we’ll head out. You need to eat since flying took a lot out of you last night. So while you shower I will go and get us some food while Echo stays in here with you.” He explained as he stood up and started to pull on his clothes, sitting on the bed as he put his shoes on and smiled at me as I pulled his hair back and braided it down his back, a happy rumble coming from his chest.
I watched from inside the shower as Brodryn stripped out of his clothes and stalked across the floor towards me, stepping into the shower and closing the curtain behind him, immediately the temperature rising from the heat he naturally generated. I stayed under the water and made sure I was fully wet before I switched positions with him, both of us careful not to touch one another just yet, the mutual restriction just adding to the building tension. While he got himself wet I made sure to soap every inch of my body, taking my time and shivering from the low rumble emitting from Brodryns chest as he watched me.Once more we switched positions as I rinsed the soap from my body and he scrubbed his skin. I took my time, making sure my hands were slow and methodical as they ran all over my body, watching him with eyes glowing with my dragon and licking my lips as I watched him wrap his hand around his hard length and stoke himself a groan leaving his lips as my hand teased and played with
I walked down the stairs with the bag slung over my shoulder and my shoes and a leather jacket in my hands. The plan was for us to fly to a rendezvous point, which was a decently rated motel, settle in for the night and once Echo got to us we’d leave in the truck in the morning. With us flying we’d most likely get to the motel before Echo even though he left earlier than us. I made my way to the front yard where Gram, Gigi, Brodryn and Laris were waiting, smiling as I saw Blaze, Cadmus and Alaric join the group as well. I gave Gram and Gigi a hug, assuring them I would be safe and that everything was ok. I went over a few things with Laris and Alaric, this time they assured me that everything would be fine and the pack would be safe. I then turned to Blaze and smiled as he pulled me to him and gave me a guilty and heated kiss, telling me to stay safe. As soon as I promised I was pulled into Cadmus’s arms and given a slow lingering kiss that left me sighing for more. I assured him I w
