Aiden I have a range of emotions going through me right now. From joy to panic to worry... then back to joy again, everything I'm feeling overwhelms me. I'm overjoyed by the fact I'm having not only one pup but twins! I could howl loudly at the moon I'm so excited! I'm also worried though. Losing Rosie in that way made me so nervous around Daisy during her first pregnancy. I didn't want to lose my second chance the same way I lost my first. Everything turned out well in the end. No complications and no reason to worry in the future. I even love Skylar as my pup all because he's Daisy's. I'm also panicked too. It doesn't make any sense logically but I fear deep down that I'll be a terrible father to my blood. Daisy will talk me down later but for now, it's all that I can think of. Is this something all expected parents go through? How many fears will run through my mind before they're born? What about after? I set Daisy down and hold her close. "You have no idea how happy I am," I
~Some Time Earlier~ Skylar Life can't be any better for me! Dad is an amazing leader and Alpha and Mom is a kind yet firm Luna! Maybe a little too firm at times but still! Mom is the best! So is everyone else too! Being the son of the leaders has many perks that I take full advantage of. Peter is a great godfather to me. He lets me ride on his shoulders whether in his human or wolf form. Having the Beta as an uncle figure is awesome! He has been distant lately but still always makes time for me when my parents are busy. He always stares off into space but I can't ask why because he never tells me! 'It's something only I can understand? How rude! Then there's Sammy! He's always spending time with me and finding nice ways to keep me entertained! Everyone says he loves Mom but I think he's just great friends with her. He's also great with Ebony! Speaking of which, Ebony is awesome! She's a little older than me but also rather shy. One day when I'm the Alpha instead of Dad, I'm going
Daisy "She took Sky away!" Ebony's words cut through me. Somebody kidnapped my pup. They attacked one of my pack members and took Skylar away from me. A wave of emotions run through me. First, I'm in shock and denial. How could it be true? Sky is safe away from the party with a strong warrior and former rouge in Zoey. No way anyone could get through her! Plus many others would be around too! If anything happened, someone would have stopped it! Then, I feel like crying. What if this wolf plans on harming Sky? Then what can I do? Thinking of someone torturing and hurting my son makes my heart ache and my body so cold. Why am I being punished? Sky is innocent so why?! And finally, I land on rage. I would do anything for my pup even if it means killing his captor. My blood boils and I clench my fists. Whoever took my son is going to pay for this. No one will be able to stop me either! I will get my son back! Aiden snarls next to me and I hear the little pup cry even harder. This snap
Ebony Seeing Mama like this isn't something I ever thought I'd see. Her usual dark coat looks sticky and matted, her paws are limp and dirty, and her flank is moving up and down rapidly. She hardly looks like Mama now and her scent is masked by blood and medical supplies. Mama always keeps herself groomed and proper. She's one of my calming anchors in times of need. She's serious a lot but never misses the chance to smile and take care of me. Now sitting by her while she lays limply in a bed not her own, Mama doesn't seem like Mama anymore. We can't go home right now so we're staying in the Royal pack's mansion. It would be great if it wasn't for what happened to Mama and Sky. Suddenly tired and nervous, I look down at my lap. Doctor Olivia doesn't know when Mama is going to wake up so all the questions everyone wanted to ask her came onto me. So many at once to the point that my ears start to ring now just thinking about it. "What happened?" "Who attacked you guys?" "Was there m
Tristian I can't believe she already has a child on top of being pregnant again! I snarl to myself but shake it off. Perhaps if I find the mutt myself, then Daisy will look my way and be grateful. However, when I suggested it, Daisy only looked at me as if I had two heads and I was nasty. "You don't have to do that. We have plenty of wolves out there especially with Royal pack backing us. Save your energy... I don't want your help specifically." With that, she walked away leaving me staring at her back. I was livid but I did get a good look at her swaying hips and slender frame. Where had she been hiding that back when she was in my pack? I did catch a glimpse of it during that party years ago but she was so much hotter now. Her long silver hair that glowed in the moonlight, her vibrant purple eyes that reflected the stars, her hourglass figure with her plump breasts... everything about her was just so delicious. She even has muscle now showing that she is a strong warrior as we
Skylar "Let me out!" I shout and bang on the door. Over and over I bang and bang until my hands start to bleed from splinters. I grit my teeth with tears in my eyes. "You crazy lady! Let me go!" I kick the door now before sliding to the floor tears running down my face. How long have I been locked in this room? Hours? Days? Weeks? I can't figure out a way to tell time down here. No windows, no outside noises... am I in a basement? I don't know but I do know one thing for sure: that lady is out of her mind! She won't let me leave and keeps saying so much nonsense that I could scream! If only I could rush past her but she never gives me an opening and if I fail, I don't get to eat. How did I get here? And why does she keep lying to me? She's the bad guy! She kidnapped me so why is she painting Mom that way instead? I don't know but I need to escape and make it home. I need to go back to my real mother so I don't have to hear any more of this lady's lies! *** ~ Sometime before~
Aiden After a whole week, not only can we not find Skylar, but Zoey, the only one with reliable information, is still unconscious too. Poor Ebony can't seem to remember anything well enough and only vaguely remembers a huge monster-like wolf chasing them in the woods that were somehow yellow. Olivia told me that it was her mind's way of coping with trauma. I can't blame the little girl for being traumatized by this. Not only did her best friend get taken away but her mother was badly injured as well. I still can't believe this happened! Who would dare do this around so many pack wolves?! I let out a faint groan and look over to Daisy who is asleep right now. I can see the dried tears on her cheeks and that alone makes me snarl. Taking my son and causing my pregnant mate terrible grief? They're going to pay for this! I kiss her forehead and watch as her face twists. As she curls up in a ball, I hear her whimper his name. "Skylar..." my heart breaks even more. She's done nothing but
Tristian As we make it home, I lose sight of Dahlia. Whatever surprise she has can wait anyway since I have to give everyone the rundown. Whether she wants it or not, I'm going to help Daisy find her pup! Then I can earn some sort of gratitude from her and she won't hate me. Just another step to getting her back. I still feel enraged at the thought of her carrying another man's pups but I'll have to accept them either way. She's my true mate and I want nothing more than to make her mine right now. I have to earn her trust and love slowly though or I'll never get what I want. "Alright, everyone! Listen up!" I call out as my pack gathers around. It is rather slow but improvements have been made. The biggest change is how Omegas are treated. They do get bullied sometimes but punishments are also in place. Nothing big but it's a start. "During the party, a rouge attacked three members of Crimson Moon: an adult and two pups. They also kidnapped one of the pups as well." I begin and he
Aiden As Daisy runs after Peter and Samuel, I frown deeply. What's going on with Peter anyway? He hasn't been himself in so long that it's worried me for ages but with everyone going on with the pack and Skylar's kidnapping, I never got a chance to ask before he left with Zoey for Royal Pack. I clench my fists and look down at my pups. "Can you two stay with Hazel for a little while? I'm going to check on your mother and Uncle Sammy." I pat the tops of their heads. Lily pouts and puffs out her cheeks. "But we finally get to see you again!" She complains. Davin bites his lip but nods in agreement. "You better not take too long!" She says firmly. I smile down at Lily. She reminds me so much of myself at that age. "Of course. I'll be back soon." I look at Hazel. "You don't mind, right?" I ask with a sheepish grin since I didn't run this passed her ahead of time. Hazel is looking out into the woods with narrowed eyes and a tense body. The rage and worry are evident on her face which
Samuel As we make the long journey to Royal Pack's territory, Rose talks our heads off asking so many questions. "Where are we going? Why are we going? Will I make new friends? Ooh, will I eat yummy foods?!" I chuckle softly at her innocence. She's a sweet little one and I couldn't love her more if I tried. Now close to the end, she tired herself out fast asleep in my arms Surprisingly Davin and Lily are quiet but I think it's more out of spite than anything. Daisy and Aiden must have broken a promise by suddenly running off and leaving the two behind. I hope their parents are prepared for their vengeance! Meanwhile, as I walk closer, the butterflies in my stomach continue to grow. The closer we get, the sooner I'll see Peter again which I don't think I'm ready for. Will lingering feelings surface the moment I see him? Will he see Rose and immediately know she's his biological pup? Hazel touches my arm and smiles up at me. I see her nervousness and fear in her eyes but for a diffe
Daisy Knowing Hazel is getting targeted now does make me panic more than it should but everyone will be ok. The children and their mothers will be arriving shortly as suggested by Xander for their protection. Among them are Samuel, Hazel, and little Rosalina... and of course, my little pups will be here soon as well. Too bad my excitement is overshadowed by anxiety. Aiden stands next to me and wraps his arm around my waist. "Everything will be ok, love." He kisses the top of my head. "We won't lose and we'll protect Hazel. I doubt Samuel will let anything happen to her." I hear a snort coming from behind us and look back to see Peter rolling his eyes and scowling. The arrogant bastard doesn't want to see Samuel happy with his little family. At least Joey knows better now and dropped his ass immediately. "Let's just hope that he will use his head and protect his pup more than anything." He mutters under his breath before meeting my eyes. Aiden frowns and looks at his Beta. "Dude...
Magnus I sit back on the couch and sigh feeling energized and alive. Feeding off energy without having to lift a finger is truly wonderful indeed. Until she's drained completely, as long as she believes she's with me, the mark I left on her will do its job well. I run a hand through my wavy locks of hair and grin gleefully. Everything is falling into place perfectly. I couldn't care less who wins this silly little war Xander announced. He's still that cute pup I watched grow up. He's no stronger than his ancestors were so I'm not worried about myself. What I desire most is the chaos it brings and the test Xander is taking. I wonder if Xander understands what I'm doing... no, I'm giving him too much credit. He believes I betrayed him and am needlessly causing trouble for my amusement. Can't say that it's a wrong assumption since I am enjoying this very much. It's been so long since I've felt so alive. Playing with these werewolves' lives is like a neat game of chess to me. Everyone
Tristian In my crazed state, all I know is that I'm running. Silas is taking the lead as we run through the woods onto territories we aren't welcome. I know where we're going too. Silas is rushing towards our true mate. I can't wait to see her again, to prove myself to her, and to gain her forgiveness. It wasn't my fault... I didn't know what I was doing. Dahlia even admitted to me what she did. "I put something in your drink so that we could have so much fun!" She said in that shrill tone. "I had no idea you'd jump into bed with that mutt because of it!" It was her doing. The lapse in my memory... it wasn't my fault! I keep running my mind racing. How can I tell her? Will it sound like an excuse? No... first I need to give her my information. What Dahlia and that bastard of hers is planning... and the horrors I witnessed. I should have known what Dahlia was like yet I was blind. Then my nose is filled with her scent. I slide to a halt and drink it in. Why did I ever think her s
Daisy After everyone falls asleep including my loving mate, I slip outside for some alone time. Tomorrow is the day... the day the war finally begins. I've never been a violent person but I want nothing more than to sink my teeth into those who made Skylar the way he is now. I can still see the scars all over his body, the smell of his blood mixed with infection, the fear in his hazel eyes... and the way he looks at me. My pup doesn't see me as his mother yet nor does he see Aiden as his father. For making him lose his memories and abusing him... I'll make them all pay. I clench my fists feeling angry with myself. If only I could have looked for him from the start... but I couldn't shift into my wolf form while I was pregnant. Aiden wouldn't let me look either and had anyone keep an eye on me so that I wouldn't fall into a deep depression. That ended up failing after I gave birth but that was no one's fault. Either way, I blame myself. If I could have searched from the start, then
Skylar Life here at Royal Pack isn't that bad. No one looks down on me, and best of all, no one hits me. What makes it even better is that I can be with my Ebony for real and enjoy her company. I'm still awkward and unsure about my so-called "real parents," but they aren't mean, either. Learning that I have two little siblings from them makes me even more nervous. Yet, when I heard the news, my heart pounded in my chest as if I were excited. Rather than feeling annoyed or scared like I thought I would, I was happy. I didn't show it, but I truly was. "You'll get your memories back in time," Ebony reassured me days ago after hearing the news and seeing my confusion. "I'll help remind you of good times when we were little! You loved your parents a lot and even begged for a baby sibling to protect." I know Ebony would never lie to me. She's the only one I can completely trust without question. It just feels so surreal to me... I do hope I remember something soon. It will give me even
Magnus "So you were around when King Xander was just a little pup?" Dahlia asks as I tell my story about how Xander and I know each other. "That's crazy! I didn't realize you were so old... but that does make you even more mysterious and interesting to me." I chuckle softly and shrug. "You prefer older men it seems, little flower. Besides, with everything we've done, it isn't too bad right?" Dahlia is cuddled into me while Gracie sleeps in her arms. The small girl was shocked to learn I was her father all along but she didn't seem too upset. Now that the allure effect on Tristian is gone, Gracie will need someone to give her affection. "So weird... so you made a pact with Royal Pack for so long right? Why did you suddenly break it?" Dahlia asks curiously. I knew she would ask about that. "Was there any special reason?" I smile at her as I've prepared this so far in advance. "I was slowly wasting away and losing my powers. If something didn't change soon, I would have been no us
~Xander: Age 16~ After my Alpha lessons, I walk out into the woods and spot a head of blood-red hair in the distance. I tilt my head and follow close behind him curiously. Magnus has been distant lately that usual fire in his eyes dimming as the years go on. He always claims to be alright but I highly doubt that's the case. As I try and silently follow him unseen, Magnus stops suddenly and chuckles. "You still need to work on your tracking skills." My face flushes from embarrassment. "That's fine though. I could use someone to talk to." He turns and looks towards my direction. The abilities of a demon warlock never cease to amaze me. I clear my throat and step out of the thick trees. "I figured that after seeing you walk off alone." He sticks close to Father's side, even more so after Mother passed away six years ago from a sudden illness. "I'm all ears, Mags." Magnus chuckles. "Oh you and that nickname..." he shakes his head and motions for me to follow. "I have a lot on my mind
