MicaI woke up on the morning of our mating ceremony and Luca was gone, but I was woken by the omegas who very quickly filled my room. They were there to help met get ready, and I was halfway through the pampering when my mother and Luna Ava arrived.It was a wonderful morning. I had never felt as pretty as I did. My nails were done in a beautiful French manicure with small diamonds and my toes matched my fingers. The hairdresser gave me highlights, which just made my face look so much prettier, and the make-up artist made me look like the perfect porcelain doll.With my hair cascading down in soft curls around my face, I was helped into the dress so that the make-up and hair wouldn’t be ruined. I was standing in front of a full-length mirror gawking at the beautiful woman in front of me when my father arrived.As we were walking down the passage, I looked into Luca’s room and noted that some of my things had already been left on his dresser. It made everything feel so real all of a s
MicaYou would think that our lives were perfect now that we were mated and officially the Alpha and Luna, but they were not. As a couple we couldn’t be better. That was not the problem. Our problem was mostly to do with our ranks. At least, that was my problem.Luca was a natural. He was born an alpha and grew up in an alpha home. I struggled to get used to people doing things for me. I tried my best not to think that people were talking about me behind my back, but that damn little voice inside my head wouldn’t keep quiet.“What was the moon goddess thinking?” Laughter rang through the air as I was coming down the passage to speak to the cook one afternoon, and I stopped to hear what and more importantly who was talking. “I mean lots of Alphas have omegas as mates, but I just can’t imagine Luca being happy with that.” I recognized the voice and anger flared.Crystal. She was spreading her poison, and I could choose to let them be, or I could stand up for myself and sort her out once
AvaI could see our children struggling, but Daniel kept telling me not to intervene. According to him, they had to find their own feet. They had to find their own rhythm. They were old enough to stand up for themselves, and he believed they just needed to find their own voices.It didn’t make it easier for me. Luca would always be my baby boy, and no matter what Daniel said, I wanted to help him and Mica.MicaIt was tiring to have to feel like I needed to prove myself worthy over and over. Luca wasn’t the problem. Luca and I were madly in love. I didn’t doubt him or what he thought about me. It was Crystal and the poison she was spreading.I could only hope that she would stop now that she wasn’t going to have the money to pretend she was something she really was not. The money didn’t belong to one rank or one group of people in the pack. It belonged to all of us. Everyone worked really hard to do their part.I frowned as I wondered what exactly Crystal did on her part. Luca’s Beta
MicaI was so excited when Luca informed me early the next morning, that his parents agreed that everyone should get the chance to go on holiday. It was sad that we couldn’t all go at once, but they agreed that we couldn’t just leave our territory like that without protection.Rogues could try and take it over at any time. It meant that we had a lot of planning to do to make sure everyone was taken into account. I was disappointed to find out that our pack’s omegas also had never been on holiday, but I was relieved to find out that Luna Ava thought my idea was a good one.She was a huge help while were made our plans, and we agreed it would be best for everyone if we could send three omega families with one ranked family. Two weeks after I suggested it to Luca, we were waving goodbye to the first group.Since we weren’t sure when we would be able to do something like this again, I wanted everyone to be able to go before Luca and I finally went. It warmed my heart to see them all ready
Mica“You have a mean streak!” Ava squealed with laughter and I took it the way it was said. In good spirits.“What? I just want her to be happy.” I shrugged.“No, you want to find out what rank she is going to be.” Luca frowned, but amusement danced in his eyes. It felt good to be joking around a little. Although it was a serious subject, we were all getting ready for our holiday and just joking around and having fun.His parents were young spirits, whom I loved. His mom and I discussed everything we wanted to do on our holiday, and Luca quickly reminded me that the original idea was for us to have a romantic getaway. The day finally arrived, and we left for our week away to a beautiful destination.We were all looking forward to seeing some of the beautiful buildings in Rome, and all the other destinations. Our trip was planned around what everyone wanted to see. Our trip was an adventurous one, and I was so excited.To make sure that Luca still got his romance, we booked a second w
MicaMorning sickness struck as soon as we returned home. Luca was overjoyed about the news, but all I could think about was that I wasn’t going to eat for the next couple of months. Everything! Literally everything made me so viciously ill that I couldn’t keep anything down.It was strange, since I never got sick. It was a werewolf thing. We never got sick and if we did, it didn’t last very long. Our wolf DNA made sure that we healed quickly. I was sitting in the bathroom on the floor feeling terrible when I wondered if it was so bad because I wasn’t used to getting sick.Luca was a gem. He was so good and did whatever he could to make things easier for me. The doctor confirmed I was pregnant, but there really was no doubt. I selfishly hoped that it wouldn’t happen this soon, but I was happy about it nonetheless.The time ticked by, and I started to grow. I felt like a balloon being blown up at a very slow pace. Luca kept talking to my belly, which was really funny. Everywhere I went
MicaThe day my water broke, I felt relief flood my body. I was a full week over my due date and the doctor didn’t want to help the labour along. He believed there was a reason the babies wanted to bake a little longer. Our son, Kai, was born a couple of minutes before our daughter, Eve. They were similar in a lot of ways, but they weren’t identical twins.I instantly fell in love with both, and for the first time felt as though we could actually do this. We could raise both. The saying was that it took a village and after Luca told me how the entire pack gathered while I was giving birth, I felt as if I belonged for the first time.In the back of my mind, I thought about my plans to get Crystal mated. After the sheer disaster at the alpha conference a couple of months ago, it was clear that Crystal only wanted one man. I was in love with my babies, but Crystal’s face came to mind whenever I wasn’t standing guard in front of those damn memories.Crystal tried her best to show everyone
MicaI couldn’t relax. I couldn’t enjoy this special evening because of Crystal. I stuck a fake smile on my face and spoke to our guests, hoping that none of them would notice the tension, but I kept looking around for Crystal. I didn’t want her to be there.I didn’t want her to share in our joy, which I wasn’t feeling, because I was so damn angry at her. What was a slight resentment, had turned into full-blown hatred. She wasn’t going to change her ways, and I was done giving her rope.“Babe, you can relax. I had her locked in the cellar.” Luca slipped his arm around my waist and joined me halfway through the night. I smiled and mouthed a thank you. You would think that his words would help me to relax, but all I could think about was that Crystal would find a way to escape.Which she did almost at the very end of the evening. I watched as she made her way through the crowd, trying her best to grab the attention. She even spoke to the alpha of the pack we invited as though he was her
