two chapters today, because I haven't written as much as I wanted.
Mary's povWe went upstairs. He explained that Beta Hudson and his family lived on one side, Alpha Raider had the top floor, and he had the right side of the second floor. He opened one of the doors and let me enter the room first.The room screamed Diego. It was bright, not just dark blue or whatever brooding men liked. His walls were a light color, like off white, and he had a big carpet on the floor and a big four-poster bed. There was even a desk and a small fire place. His room was much bigger than mine, but then again this whole packhouse was larger than ours.Diego snuck his arms around me, "so about my question?"My breath hitched as he kissed my neck again."Necesito palabras [I need words], Maria. What do you want me to do?" Diego said.His hands moved up to my breasts, and he cupped them softly, asking, "Can I touch you here?"I didn’t think about anything but his hands on me, and I felt safe. "Yes."He went inside my shirt and played with my nipple. I had no idea this could
Kai’s pov"So, you followed my advice?" Moon said, looking at Mary’s mark during breakfast.If Mary could blush, she would. Goddess, she looked mortified, but it was fucking funny to see that face of hers. I wondered if they finally had sex or tried he other stuff Moon told me about. I mean, I wouldn’t fucking mind seeing my mate touch herself.I looked at Diego, "now we really need to get that land."Diego nodded, "Si."Okay, chatty catty wasn’t really in the mood to talk this morning. He would probably tell me and Hudson everything later.Diego kissed Mary, and I gave Moon a good kiss before they left.Diego sighed, "I want Maria here, todo el tiemp [all the time]. Alfa Raider, cómo se hace esto? [Alpha Raider, how do you do this?]"I didn’t really understand that last part because it was in fucking Spanish, but I did know how he felt. "It’s fucking hard being away from Moon."Beta Hudson and his family came down for breakfast after Moon and Mary left, and it made me realize even mor
Kai’s povThe first few days were just the fucker following me around. He didn’t say much, and I was grateful; I already had a beta and a gamma who wouldn’t shut up. Diego in particular, goddess, did he even have a filter? It was like every thought he had needed to be said out loud. Even if no one could fucking understand him anyway.I showed Darius around; he watched Hudson handle the books without seeing all of our finances, and Darius watched Diego train his soldiers. I had no fucking clue what we were doing. Is this how you train a future Alpha? Or do I need to put him to work too?Alpha Paul didn’t find shit in the ground, just like we expected, but he wasn’t finished yet. He still had a few days left, and he wanted to use them all. I think he was just stalling, so we couldn’t start building yet.Or it was because on the fifth night of the idiot staying here, while I was trying to sleep, little Darius secretly snuck out of his room and into the hallway.Did the fucker really think
Moon’s pov"So you’re going to Alpha Paul now to pay him back?" I mindlinked Kai."No, well, I wanted to kill him, but I will try another way first.""And you’re taking Darius with you?" I asked."Yes, my Moon.""The same guy that tried to kill you literally an hour ago?"Kai laughed, "the same fucking guy. I trust him. I don’t know why, but let’s just say it’s a gut thing.""Well, I have a gut feeling too, and it says that you’re being reckless. Going inside Alpha Paul’s territory with his son. If he does kill you, it looks like you provoked it." "Alpha Paul isn’t strong or brave enough, that’s why he sent his pup to do his nasty work." Kai growled. "I’ll be fine.""Yes, you will.""What’s that supposed to mean, -" And Kai stopped as soon as he spotted Angela beside the road."I'm coming with," I mindlinked and switched back, naked beside the road.I'd been waiting for a car for about ten minutes. No one would travel this road this late at night, so I wasn’t worried someone else migh
Kai’s povA loud scream tore through the packhouse, and then there was silence. We walked down to see Luna Suzanne and Darius in the living room, hugging each other."It hurts, honey, but I’ll be okay. You matter more to me." Suzanne said to her son. We weren't needed here anymore. I wouldn't want to hang around with the person who killed my mate just a few seconds ago.I looked at Darius, and he nodded his head. I could feel his alpha aura now; the transfer was complete.We left the packhouse and walked to the car. We weren’t stopped by any guards, and the gates opened for us to pass through. Darius, sorry Alpha Darius must have told them to let us pass.Ten minutes into our ride home, Moon sighed."Kai…""I know, I’m fucking sorry.""You can’t just do these things, what if something happened?"I shrugged my shoulders, "it didn’t.""And you can’t just talk for me. That was not your secret to tell. I am a damn Alpha; I can handle my own problems. I don’t need a knight on a white horse
Diego’s povI knew Maria could handle herself, but I felt this strong urge to protect her and make sure she was okay. Maria was the strongest person I know, but I felt like sometimes she tried to be even stronger and wouldn’t admit when something was wrong.I had felt nothing during our bond because I was most likely sleeping. But I did have this vivid dream of fighting people, which must have been because of Mary.Now that we’re both marked, we feel everything the other feels, and although I already knew Maria was a lot more sensitive than she looked, I hadn’t suspected to feel so much from her. She felt deeply, just like I did, but she kept them hidden by acting though."So, you want to check up on Mary, huh?" Alpha Moon teased."Por supuesto [of course], just like you went with Alpha Raider, no?"Alpha Moon laughed, "yeah. But Mary was doing her job, and my mate was being a reckless idiot. Going in alone could have gone so terribly wrong.""He was doing his job también [as well]. He
Kai's pov"So are you and Maria planning on moving to our new packhouse too?" I asked Diego.He looked unsure."I mean, Mary and Moon are friends, so I kind of assumed it would have come up." I said, "You don’t fucking have to. I mean, it’s just a question.""Maria is her best friend, and soy tu mejor amigo?" said Diego, laughing.I knew what Amigo meant. "I am not your fucking best friend. We’re not in high school."He nodded his head with a stupid smirk on his face, "did you learn Spanish for your amigo?"I growled, "never fucking mind, Diego. You’re getting way too familiar anyway; I wouldn’t want to live with you again."He smiled at me despite my anger, "Maria and I would love to live in the house with you, Alpha Raider. We also talked about perhaps building our own casa in the future.""Well, mi casa es su casa, right? You and Mary are welcome to stay at the packhouse." I said, "for Moon of course. She would love it. I don't fucking care either way."Diego laughed as he walked ou
Mary’s povKnowing Moon would give birth in a few months sped up the whole house's construction. Alpha Raider even jumped in to help, and Moon sent some people from our pack to assist as well.It also meant that once the house was done, which would be in a few weeks, Diego and I would start living together.I looked forward to it and was anxious at the same time. I was used to having my own room, my own space, and not having to think about another person. But falling asleep next to Diego and waking up next to him every morning would be wonderful. Knowing I could snuggle in those big, hairy arms of his would be worth giving up some of my personal space."Moon and Raider would have no issue with giving you another room. The house is big enough." Beth, my wolf, said.I didn’t need another room. Diego and I wouldn’t be spending most days together, so this would be just evenings, nights, and mornings. And days off."So plenty of time," Beth joked.I had grown a lot more comfortable around D
Moon’s pov- ONE YEAR LATER -"Luna?""Luna Moon?"I kept forgetting that I was now Luna."Yes?" I said as I turned around.A mother and her kids were standing there looking at me."Wow, you’ve gotten big." Her little girl said."Ashley! You can’t just say those things." Her mother scolded her."It’s fine. I am big. But can I tell you a secret?"Ashley nodded her little head."It’s because there are two babies inside of me.""Wow! two!" Ashley said excitedly.Her mom smiled at me, "I just wanted to thank you. Alpha Raider has been a wonderful Alpha and has handled everything on his own so well for all these years, but having a Luna is really special. We feel complete, and you both have done such wonderful things for our pack. The Crimson Crescent Pack is on its way to becoming one of the most powerful packs in the whole country, thanks to you and Alpha Raider. We’re really proud to be members."I smiled and was almost brought to tears. Stupid hormones."Thank you; that means a lot.""W
Moon’s pov"Breathe, breathe through the contractions." The midwife said."You fucking breathe." I replied, getting sick of hearing her voice."I’m sorry." Kai said to the midwife, "She didn’t mean it like that."The hell I didn’t.The midwife smiled at us, "don’t worry, I’ve been told worse.""You know, I read somewhere that an orgasm can help with the pain." Kai suggested."An orgasm? You’re thinking about sex right now? That’s the thing that got me into this situation in the first place.""No, I didn't mean it that way, I,-""Just go hang out in the other room with Diego," I yelled, "I need to focus, and Mary will call you when the baby is almost out."Kai nodded and left the room, looking defeated."Maybe I shouldn’t try to have a baby?" Mary joked. "It looks painful, and it turns the future mother into this scary beast that even drives away alpha males.""You want out too?"Mary laughed. She wasn’t scared of me. "No, I can handle scary Moon.""So you’ve been trying to make a baby?
