**LUCIEN**
My chest is heavy and stinging and after what I just went through I don’t know if I want to wake up.
Just let me be dead, let me be by her side… I know the kids will be cared for.
I feel the stinging getting strong and my head getting lighter. I can feel myself trying to come to.
I don’t want to wake up and see the reality of me laying on the ground with Monica on top of me lifeless. But I have to know.
I feel the heaviness of my eyelids, the tears welling up in my eyes at the realization. I’m in my bed…
What the fu.ck?!
I frantically look around the room and see that I a
**LUCIEN**As I am getting ready to go see Monica and have this damn dreaded talk, I keep thinking back to what the Moon Goddess said.She is a descendant of the Moon Goddess. Okay I got that. Which means her kids are full blooded Alpha werewolves. Not half as I thought. It’s probably because they are so young that I thought they were only half.She has no powers, no extra strength, or anything to help her in her fight to being the descendant of the Moon Goddess who can turn regular supernaturals into pure blooded werewolves. Unless, somehow or another she unlocks some type of power or strength. I don’t know why the Moon Goddess wouldn’t give her any powers right out the gate when she knew what she would face. She said she could be hunted, and people would be after her? Why woul
**LEON**After Lucien fell asleep and I put him to bed, I went home. So much on my mind, so much to do. Talon Rodriguez, the Alpha of Black Night pack. He comes from a long line of cruel and disgusting Alpha’s but the word through the pack grape vine, Talon has no crimes against him. All the previous Alpha’s of the Black Night Pack were cruel to their Luna’s. Treating them as property, as items that can be used for the production of heirs, abused at their will. It’s disgusting. But just to be sure that if this situation between Talon, Monica and Lucien is brought to the public I need to have as much proof as possible. Talon told all the Alpha’s that his Luna had a sickness that wouldn’t allow her to be around others, and that he had to keep her locked in their home so she didn’t get sicker. That their children were also affected by the sickness. I get to the packhouse and it’s late so everyone is probably asleep. I go into the kitchen to grab s
**LUCIEN**I was a little taken back by Angelina’s outburst asking if she was a wolf. But I won’t lie to her. I could see the color drain from Monica’s face, it wasn’t something she was expecting to hear. But I figured once we went to the park and the kids were playing, Monica and I could talk. And I could explain how everything is, and tell her all I know.Angel and Monica held my hand the whole way to the park, I even had to stop and put Lincoln on my shoulders because he felt left out. Monica is holding on tight. I can hear her heartbeat pounding in her chest. Her anxiety is going nuts. I probably should have diverted the question Angelina asked but I didn’t want to lie to her.I leaned over and whispered in her ear. “I know you're freaking out a littl
**MONICA**My head is spinning from everything that Lucien is telling me. But how can I not believe it when the man bursted into a huge ball of wolf right in front of my eyes.I still have so many questions. Selene coming to me, being the Moon Goddess, telling me things like Lucien is my destiny. She created him for me. But then Lucien tells me he has had a second chance mate that rejected him. If Selene thought that I would die with Talon, why would she pair him with someone who wouldn’t see how amazing he was?And what is really throwing me is the fact that I have two small children who are werewolves, and I didn’t even know it. What would have happened when they shifted into a wolf when they got older? I would have had a heart attack and died, that’s what. I look
**LUCIEN** We get to my house, and I realize that Monica hasn’t been inside yet. Luckily, I’m not messy, but it’ll be the first time I let another female into my home. I hesitate at the door. And she rubs my arm. “Is everything okay?” She whispers as Angel and Lincoln are running around looking at the plants on my deck. “You don’t have any women to hold up in here do ya?” She says laughing, wiggling her eyebrows at me. “Absolutely not.. The only other person that has been in my home is my brother. And this is new for me. Having someone I care about over.” I said in a whisper. She blushes with a huge smile on her face. She slightly pushes me out of the way and turns the knob
**TRIGGER WARNING**CAUTION: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A RAPE SCENE IN ALPHA TALON’S POV... IF YOU WISH TO NOT READ THIS SCENE, PLEASE SKIP TO LUCIEN'S POV FURTHER DOWN IN THE CHAPTER. Thank you!!**TALON**“Shut the fu.ck up with your whining, you little slut…” I growled at the woman I am pounding my dick so deep into that she is screaming and begging me to stop. Pounding her cunt from the back, with her back on my desk. I have her hands tied away from either of us. I don’t want her holding me. I started pulling on her hair so hard that I can hear the strands popping from her scalp. Tears ran down her face, she is crying for me to stop…“Please… Pleasee… STOP!!” She pleads but I don’t listen.
**ALORA** In the car back to the packhouse it’s quiet. I really enjoyed meeting Monica and I can see why Lucien is crazy for her. I am so happy he found such a beautiful person inside and out. He deserves it more than anyone I know. But having to deal with Carrie just left a bad taste in my mouth. I know, I shouldn’t be jealous, but how could I not be? The man I have wanted since I started liking boys could possibly be having a baby with someone else… “Lor, what’s wrong bunny?” Leon asked me from the driver's seat. He doesn’t take his eyes off the road, but his brow is furrowed. I can tell he is worried I am upset with him. I’m jealous, but I’m not mad. Carrie was before me. I can’t blame him for that. “I’m alright, honey. Just feeling a little jealous. Which is weird for me. But don’t worry, I'm not upset with you.” I say honestly. I grab his hand and intertwine my fingers. His huge hand is swallowing my small one up. “I can’t even begin to apologize for the predicament that y
**MONICA**After Lucien marks me and I come down from my high, I want to tell him how I am feeling. He starts growling in what seems like agony, but I can only feel whatever it is as an uncomfortable sting. He keeps scratching at his neck as Ragnar’s claws protrude from his fingertips. Drops of blood seeping from his skin, and all I want to do at this moment is make him feel better. I hate seeing him like this; in pain. I can’t let him sit in pain like this. No fear comes close to the need I am feeling to stop him. I grab his hands and place them on my hips. Ragnar’s claws dig slightly into my skin as Lucien’s grip tightens on my waist. His eyes are closed, almost sealed shut, his forehead creased, and eyebrows furrowed in deep agony. I know he doesn’t mean to but his claws pierce into my skin, sending a shooting pain up my hips and back that causes me to wince. Pushing the pain aside, I focus on him and my need to take his pain away. The pain I am feeling is less in comparison to wh
***ANGELINA’S POV***A quick sprint to start because we are all eager and then my training kicks in. Steady my breathing. In through my nose, keep my pace even, out through my mouth. Keep your hands even, don’t flail them about.Don’t think too much about your footing, just let your legs flow as you keep moving.I see a few of my classmates near me, doing a buddy system jog. Those are fun until one person decides they can’t go on and then the other quits because they don’t want to run alone. Then you got the boy, it’s always the boys who joke about. Bumping into each other. Making jokes about who is faster, who is going to beat the other. Until one of them sprints off to show up his buddies and shows off for the girls. And then one of two things happens. One he trips over something, or runs into something. Or two, runs out of breath and can’t keep that pace up.Boys hate losing.And then there are training junkies like me. Who know how to pace themselves. How to watch the ground but
(7 YEARS LATER) ***LUCIEN*** Quiet mornings are a thing of the past with 2 twins running through the house, a teen jamming in the bathroom and a 11 year old rummaging through the fridge to fill his stomach. My sweet Angelina starts her training today. Who knew that 7 years ago I would stumble upon children that were created from me without my knowledge. Now I have 4 beautiful children, and the most amazing wife there ever was! “Lucien, it’s almost time to go. I don’t wanna be late. Angelina needs to be there early to stretch!” I hear my wife call from the kitchen as our boys are running in circles around her feet, nothing but life is flowing through these halls. “Don’t forget baby, we have that meeting tonight with Leon. He seemed a little more uptight than normal.” I laugh when I hear her snort. “Well that’s nothing new. Alora is 8 and a half months pregnant with their second baby, and he is a total helicopter dad already and the boy hasn’t even been born yet.” I hear a second
*Alora* The time has come.. No one could be more nervous than Leon or myself. Lucien is in his own world admiring his mate for the future Queen she is. And I am wondering if this baby will really belong to the mate I have always wanted. I know I shouldn’t be jealous of a baby. But how can I not be? A baby that I didn’t birth from the man I love more than anything and always have. A life created between him and a vile snake of a woman, who we just learned is actually a traitor in the midst of our pack. She is the only reason Talon was even able to do the things near us that he has done. I am glad however, that Monica got the closure she needed. And that The former Luna is awake.. That makes me put some of this sense of anxiety at ease. But still the pressure of this whole situation is weighing on me. I feel a pair of small but comforting hands wrap around my shoulders and I know that it is Leon’s mom. ‘I know what you are thinking, Alora. But you must hold onto the faith that every
*LUCIEN* My mother is home. Alive. Awake. Breathing. Walking. Talking. Laughing.. The knot in my throat can hardly be swallowed. The hairs on my arms are standing up with goosebumps underneath them. I feel as if I am seeing a ghost. The screams of agony coming from Talon no longer concern me. My world is complete, my Queen, her vengeance unraveling and my family all under one roof. Minus my babies of course. Tobias removes the spiked gag ball from Talon’s mouth, giving him some relief. But that doesn’t last long. Blood pouring down the scruff of his face like a vampiric waterfall. “WHO HELPED YOU?!?!” The king growls again, the sinister tone in his voice is enough to send shivers across the continent. And I for one am glad that I am not on the other end of this. His aura suffocates the room, causing most of us to gag for air and when he notices it he draws it in and then easily directs it right to Talon. That is a talent I wish to master. His face is turning purple as he is
*MONICA* He always thought I never knew. That I never had a clue that he had done. I had my suspicions. And the day before I left I found that box. The box of evidence he had hidden away. I almost took it with me but there wasn’t any dust on the box. So it was something he frequented. And if he had known I had that box, he wouldn’t have left me alone. I could’ve used it to get him locked up, but thinking back, my gut was right to make me leave it there. His whimpers fill the cell block. No longer a powerful Alpha werewolf, now just a regular human, just as I was. This may make me just as bad as him, but I do not care. He deserves every cut, bruise, and beating that could be coming his way. “I don’t know..AGGHHHHH!!!!” He screams as I put the zapper to his calf sending the surges of electricity to his groin and making him piss his pants. “Don’t. Fucking. Lie. To. Me..” I growl. “You have done enough of that in my lifetime.” His pants quicken as he is trying to catch his breath,
*LUCIEN*My fucking mate has the power to turn humans into werewolves and werewolves into humans.. Watching her lead, and take charge and move so swiftly the way she did to Talon really made all the blood rush to a place it doesn’t need to be in this situation. But how can I help it?The love of my life, the Luna of my heart, has single handedly taken down her attacker without a single flinch or sweat bead. She didn’t let him break her, he just bent her a little. And he only did that because he made her believe she had no power over her own life. And in just a short amount of time, she has taken those pieces of herself and glued them back together to be this amazing and beautiful and fierce woman she is right now. But even with Talon going to the dungeons, I am curious. And slightly worried. He couldn’t have done all he did without some inside help. He couldn’t have made the plans he made without someone getting him around surveillance, guards, and pack members.“Lucien, my love. I
*UNKNOWN* Why the fuck does it feel like I have been hit by a damn mack truck? I try to sit up but physically it takes too much. There are muffled noises around me, making me think I am not alone but it takes me a few minutes to finally pry my eyelids open. And boy when I do, the sight before me is a little strange. My husband and mate are sitting next to my bed against the wall. My firstborn boy is sitting on the other side next to a raven-haired beauty. Oh, my Goddess, that is Alora! "Is... That-t your ma.. mate?" I crack out of my throat and everyone's head whips to look at me. My husband is by my side in a matter of seconds with a glass of water helping me to drink it. "Mon Amour, tu es réveillé." He cries slightly, pressing his head against mine. I am so used to the rugged and rough Alpha Male that never shows emotions. So this is quite refreshing. "Mama," Leon whines as he hugs my waist laying slightly on the bed. Alora is behind him with tears in her eyes rubbing his ba
**TALON** 'Alpha Sir, something is happening. All of the security cameras lining the borders have gone black. We can't get ahold of the other guards. It's creepy out here.' I hear coming through the mind link. 'Can you sorry sacks of shit get anything right?' I growl. Running straight from my office. None of these motherfuckers can do anything right. They couldn't keep my useless wife in our home. The guards here are more worthless than that sniveling little wanna-be Alpha. Losing track of my thoughts, I make it to the border quickly. Things smell out of place. My booby traps are gone. But the smell, the smell of aftershave and cologne are lingering and the hint of the scent of my wife floating through the air. Looking for the culprit or any signs of life in the night with my perfect vision, I hear a chuckle that even sends chills down my spine."Ahhh. It's the sniveling little Alpha that took my wife." I cackle. I hear no footsteps, no twigs breaking, not even any breathing. Odd.
**LUCIEN**Watching Calypso hold onto Angelina and Lincoln as if her life depends on it is warming. But I can feel her rage building. That last sentence he said to her has her aura going out of control. 'Calypso, please breathe before you blast your aura enough to kill us all.' Her head whips to look at me and her eyes soften as she looks at me. She starts reeling her aura in and looks down at Angelina and Lincoln. "My pups. Having you here, and finally meeting you both is a miracle. But there is something we all have to talk about. Even you two little minds have to hear this." She says picking Lincoln up and rubbing her nose to his and watching him giggle and then setting him in my lap. Then she rubs her nose to Angelina's who immediately returns it with a smile and sits her next to us both. There is something we all need to know. And the look on King Tobias' face tells me he has no idea what it is.. "We are fixing to have a guest." She says as the wind swirls around the room. Th
