Luca’s POVRiding shotgun in an SUV, with my mate driving the busy streets of Atlanta, is a bit unnerving. He seems right at home and unbothered by the traffic. I prefer rolling hills, dirt roads, and no hint of people.“So, my family business is nightclubs and retail space rental,” Emmett talks calmly, like two tractor-trailers didn’t just attempt to run us off the road. “What is the Lopez family business?”“In our Realm, we train packs; in the human realm, casinos. We own four in Las Vegas.” I tell him, gripping the door panel, as he swerves to avoid a motorcycle going the wrong way. “Can’t people in Atlanta drive?”Emmett laughs, “No, they can’t. You don’t drive do you?”“We have a driver. Cliff drives me.” I answer, closing my eyes. “I’m usually in the back seat.”Emmett laughs again. “Close your eyes, Babe, we will be at the building codes office in five, I’ll drop off this stuff for Thomas and then it’s twenty minutes to the club site.”“Do you think you could teach me to drive?
Emmett’s POV“I TOUGHT IT WAS A LIE!” Stella’s scream echos all around us, as Luca and I stand in the foyer of the Packhouse, being introduced to the pack. “I slept with you; you are not gay!”“Honey, green doesn’t work for you, and the whole pack just heard you,” Monica states defending us.“Please, I’ve had your man too,” Stella spits, before turning and facing me. “I put up with the glances, stares, whispers, all to be yours. And you toss me aside for a … fuck you Emmett, Cullen Wallace.”Stella storms away, while the rest of the pack blinks at Ed and I.“Jealousy sucks all around,” Luca booms, breaking the tension, making everyone laugh. “Thank you, Mountain Peak, for raising such an incredible Alpha Wolf. The goddess has never gifted one Alpha male to another, I don’t know what I did to earn such as gift, but I’m blessed to done it.”Everyone awes and claps. Luca puts his hand on my back and pulls me close.“You want to kiss me, in front of everyone?” I whisper shocked. “I’d kis
Luca’s POVI had mom find Emmett and I matching tuxedos. I feel these will come in handy. We have white, black, gray, and blue. She also went the extra mile and got matching everyday suits in black, three shades of blue, tan, forest green, two shades of gray, a dark purple, and what Emmett called crimson. And special Silver looking tuxedos for our accession.“I feel our mothers have conspired,” Emmett tells me, as we put on the white tuxes for tonight. They fit perfectly.“Hey, as long as we look good,” I say, checking him out. “And baby, that tux is doing things to me.”I grab his hips and attack his neck.“We just made love for two hours,” He moans, but leans in.“Just once more,” I whine.“Horny Alpha,” Emmett does pull away. “Later, sir.”“Not too much later, sir,” I nibble his ear, earning me a growl.“You play too much,” Emmett swats at me, making me smile.“As long as I’m playing with you, what does it matter,” I tease, wrapping him in a hug.“Play later, your dad is probably a
Emmett’s POV.I’m driving to Blood Moon in my baby girl, with Luca sleeping in the passenger seat.The last three days have been interesting. James and Luca have been working on the transition, so I only see Luca at breakfast, lunch, dinner and before bed.Erin has been keeping me busy with her duties. She runs the operations of the pack like a corporation. She has the head warrior do all the training schedules, the head cook does the Packhouse and cafe menus, the head housekeeper manages the Omegas, the hospital is run by the packs retired doctor, the school by the former headmaster, the airport by a trusted friend, and the pack Infrastructure by several people. All of them report daily to Erin, who makes final decisions. She also holds civil court, to handle minor disputes between neighbors, mates, and former mates. Yes, even werewolves can get a ‘divorce’, it’s just not common. How she does it, I hope to learn. In six weeks, it will be all me! Holy shit, in six weeks, I will be Lun
Emmett’s POV“Cameron,” Luca did not resist the bro hug Cameron offered. “Good to see you, man!”“Hey, like I said on the phone, I really appreciate the confidence, I won’t let you down,” Cameron’s smile is perfect. It’s infuriating. “Hi, I’m Cameron.”He holds his hand out to me. I want to crush it and make Luca choose another less good-looking Beta.“Hello,” I shake his hand and look to Luca. I was polite enough to not only resist hugging someone, I introduced him as my mate.“Cameron, this is my mate, Emmett. We spoke about,” Luca wasn’t as proud as I wanted him to be. He actually kept his voice low, like he wanted only Cameron and Zach to know who I am to him.“Yes,” Cameron also lowers his voice. “Nice to meet you, Luna.”Zach seems to pick on the tension, and lowering of voices. And Zach is not one to put up with such things. He gives me a look that I read as, he’s about to fabulous this meeting. I smirk back, waiting to see what he comes up with.“Emmett, we have to talk, we ne
Luca’s POVWe enjoy our evening, but I’m ready to get my mate alone and talk about Zach. The Beta pip squeak didn’t let me and Cameron out of his site all day long. Now, I find out he and my mate had a thing. What was he a spy? Is Emmett so insecure, that he needs me spied on by his ex?“Well, this was fun,” Emmett says, after more jokes and chats. “But, we have tandem training in the AM, and I for one need some rest.”“Same,” Melissa echos.Once the door is closed, both Emmett and I remove our shirts and bare our chests. We are about to fight as men do.“Talk to me about Zach,” I say first.“Talk to me about Sally,” he snaps back.“Sally who?” I ask confused.Emmett looks annoyed, “Luna Sally, said she fucked you.”“Completely possible. But if it was a hit and quit, I wouldn’t remember her name.” I confess. Yeah, it makes me a jerk, but I don’t care. The only wolf I give a fuck about is Emmett. The rest are just noise. “Wait, is that why you introduced me to Zach so quickly? Because
Emmett’s POV Luca got me off the field as quickly and quietly as possible. Rita told us about a private gym where she and her sister practiced when they were learning.Luca spent hours teaching me basics and sparing with me. He never lost patience or acted frustrated. We ate lunch in the cafe, before showering for classes. It was in the shower, I showed my appreciation for his understanding and willingness to teach me. We went to our individual classes. I learned about seating etiquette and invitation design. “Hey, so do you have like part ownership of Mastic?” Melissa asks me, as we are working on designs on tablets.“It’s owned by my family; all profits are in a trust and spit evenly, between the two packs. I get a paycheck as a board member. Well, I did, I won’t now,” I tell her. “Does that mean you can get us in? None of us are 21, but as werewolves….” Melissa flexes her eyebrows. I smile. “Sure, who all wants in?”“Me, Clint, and Tim are for sure, should we ask Drake, Zach
Luca’s POV“Cold Moon and Silver Creek have never had a formal alliance, we should fix that,” Clint extends his hand to me, as we stand about to depart home from Blood Moon’s portal.“Yes, let’s conference this week,” I shake his hand, while our mates exchange information.“Can I get an alliance as well?” Drake asks laughing.“We have one!” I laugh at him.“Yeah, I meant with Clint,” Drake extends his hand.“Of course, brother,” Clint and he shake hands.Our cars are all lined up and I see Cameron and Tim drooling over Emmett’s old car. He called it something, I have no idea. I don’t drive, so I don’t pay attention to cars.“Is that a Barracuda?“ Clint asks, as he and Drake seem to go into a haze.“Nice, who owns this gorgeous lady?” Drake asks.“My Luna, touch it and die,” Cameron says, holding his arms out, protectively, over the car.“Em, you restore this?” Clint asks.“Yep, took two years,” Emmett starts talking about cars and I notice even Marcus and Blake, Patrick’s Gamma, are e
The moon goddess’s POVMy plan for Emmett was always suppose to be simple. Change the Lopez. Family forever and end the heart condition. I guess I put a little to much faith in him. Who am I kidding, he was perfect for the job. And it may have taken longer than I thought it would, but he got there in the end. Nora copied Emmett’s ceremony in every detail. She said the descriptions from witnesses called it the most romantic Alpha/Luna Accession in history. Knowing she couldn’t top it she copied it. Emmett was touched and flattered. As he should be. I promised the Wallace family that I was don’t meddling int their lives, but Saturn is a special one to me. I gave her Dennis because he needed her. I have no control over humans and the loss of Cameron and Nova was never in my plan. Dennis was supposed to grow-up to be a playboy and prankster, think Sam but with blonde hair. When his parents died he just became a loud mouth. But he needed Saturn to ground him and give him a reason to wan
Luca’s POV“Baby, what are your plan today?” I ask, seeing him getting dressed for the office.He has had three minor heart occurrences in the past week. He keeps putting off his doctor's appointment, because DeVine’s daughter is “just too young to know anything”. So, I have been begging him to rest more.“I have to meet with Nora and Dennis. They are just about up to speed. And the ceremonies are in a week. I promise to take a nap afterwards,”. He kisses me and heads to the office.“Sweet goddess, if you hear me, protect him. I want him with me in retirement. We are so close, goddess protect him.”***********Me and my kids are setting the border and alliance agreements between their packs.“So, we won't patrol this border, but we will double our efforts on this border,” Saturn point to the map.“Yeah, that will work,” Walker agrees.“See how easy this will be, you two get along, just remind your kids to do same.” I laugh and then we hear Nora scream.Walker gets there first, but I a
Emmett’s POV“And I quit” Saturn plops in a chair next to Nora in my office. “For two people who claim to love each other, they fight like children!”“What are they fighting about now?” Nora asks.“The order of Accession. Since we get to set our own rules and stuff, we want to do a joint ceremony. But Phoenix wants to do the Alpha part first, then the Beta part. Her logic is it’s a new pack, we need an Alpha before we need a Beta. Dennis says that since it not a new pack but rather the re-establishment of an old pack, we can do the Beta part first and then the Alpha. Both of them make valid points, but I can’t decide; so I’m out, they can duke it out and I will do as I’m told,” She leans back.I laugh, “Daddy and Walker do the same thing. It’s a good move for an Alpha.”“DAD! I came in here for you to fix it,” Saturn whines.I look at her. “You are about to be Alpha, what the hell are you whining about. Am I going to have to rush down to Silver Lake every week to fix something fo
Warning this entire chapter is sex. All of it. You have been warned.Walker’s POV11:59 October 30, 2060“Why am I nervous?” I ask my Dad. “Because you have waited so long for this, and well, now it’s happening,” Daddy smiles. Dad is standing beside him and next to both of them, is the love of my life. In 30 seconds, she and I are going to haze.Patty showed up just to make sure she is right. “Don’t worry, other than not being able to recognize my own mate for bit, I’ve never been wrong,” Patty smiles. “It's gonna be fine.”12:00pm October 31, 2060I feel my wolf snap into place.“MINE” it wasn’t me, but a force I have no control over.I'm holding her and kissing her, she is kissing me. Please let me come out of this and it be Nora. Please.The fog clears and it is Nora.“My Muffin is now my mate,” Nora smiles up at me.“Damn, right,” Patty smiles. “I still got the magic!”“Congratulations, bro, and sis,” Saturn smiles. She won’t haze for 7 more months. “Thanks,” Nora hugs
Luca’s POVI really don’t know what the hell Emmett is thinking. I go into the room with Fred. “So, you have to get me to kiss you and you have two hours,” I find a mini bar and pour myself a scotch. “Drink?”“Whatever you are having, make it two,” Fred is smiling at me. I hand him a scotch and wait.“What ya got? How did you seduce all those mated females away from their families?” I ask. “It was simple really. I just showed them my greatest blessing,” Fred smiles and caresses my face. That is when my wolf perks up. I’m immune to magic. My wolf tells me when a spell is being attempted. I can choose to ignore it, or play along. I remember how my father defeated a wizard once. So, I play along.“Humm, what is your greatest blessing then?” I coo, as the spell wants me to.“It's very simple, you see,” Fred comes close and speaks low. “I have a dick that will make anyone scream. Would you like to see it, my pet?”“I think I might,” I follow my wolfs instructions.“Good, pet,” Fred is a
Emmett’s POV“If we can be quick, we can have one more round and shower before the kids come through the portal,” Luca tries to get me. We have landed at Blood Moon and need to head to the portal, but my man is trying to get one more round out of me.“Luca,” I whine. “I love you, but I haven’t seen the kids in 8 weeks. I want to be there when they come through. Plus, I think Melissa and Clint are there already.”“Screw them,” Luca kisses my neck. “You are going to be talking to the kids all afternoon and evening. This is my last chance to have you alone.”“Luca,” I moan, as he rubs me through my jeans. “Lose the clothes, sir.”Luca growls. We manage two rounds and a third in the shower on the plane.We dress and walk to the portal.“Hey there,” Melissa smiles.“Hey, Luna,” I hug her.“Micah is bringing his mate. Have you heard the news?” Melissa smiles.“No, we haven’t,” I smile.“Apparently, his mate is Beta at a bigger pack and doesn’t want to give up his position, so John is going
Walker’s POV“Muffin, what is wrong?” Nora asks me, as we walk on our final Saturday at Golden Moon. We have one more week before we all return home.“This morning, Dennis had Phoenix wrapped up in a very passionate kiss. It’s weird seeing him kiss anyone but Saturn,”. I tell her.“I caught him and Saturn doing more than kissing in the bathroom of the rec room yesterday,” Nora giggles. “I talked to Phoenix, she says they are doing well. She loves her alone time with Saturn and her alone time with Dennis, but her favorite is when the three of them are together.”“She doesn’t feel like an outsider when they are all together?” I ask.Nora smiles, “she says no. She made the joke that Dennis is the outsider when they are together.”I laugh.“Why have we spent this time together talking about them? We spend a lot of time talking about them?” Nora asks me.“Because I’m getting used to the idea,” I tell her.“Well get used to this idea. One year from now, you and I will be taking oaths in fro
Emmett’s POVI am standing by the car, waiting for Luca to come out, so we can get to Atlanta. We are taking a commercial flight like we did 18 years ago. We are going to do everything the same. Well, we were, until Luca stopped speaking to me over the kids' names.Why is having Wallace in their names so damn important?I thought he would be okay, little miffed maybe, but never ready to kill angry.The last thing he said to me was, “I need I cancel wet teams.”He was going to kill James. So much for breaking tradition.We needed to talk, to clear the air. He needs to understand my decision to exclude Wallace was the same as Marie’s, Sara’s (no, not, Sara, she named her first born Wallace, bad example). Rona’s son is Wallace-Marshall, so that’s out. Patty is a perfect example. She is tough, independent, strong willed, she only uses Marshall for Hewy, Dewy, and Louie. Those aren’t their names, but they have such big lips, we couldn’t resist nicknaming them after the Duck triplets. She ac
Luca’s POVWhen I land back in Silver Creek, I grab a bottle of champagne and head to my Luna’s office. I’m wearing a Hawaiian shirt, white long dress shorts, boat shoes, and my aviator glasses. I have two glasses and I decide we need some fun. So, I grab my phone to play a song, I want to dance and seduce my mate. I find an oldie, but a goodie.The beat starts a little Spanish then “Tonight, we dance,” ……”Nothing can stop us tonight”. “Bailamos”Emmett is laughing, as I sing along to “Tonight, I’m yours.”He stands up and we start dancing around his office.“Tonight, we dance,”I start kissing his neck and he is laughing at me. I’m half Hispanic, I have smooth moves. My mate he is from a mountain. Less smooth, zero rhythm. So, I lead.“Nice, Babe,” he tells me, as the song ends.I pour champagne. “We have zero children. For the next five weeks, we are not responsible for keeping younger versions of ourselves alive. We are empty-nesters, and we aren’t 40 yet.”Emmett laughs harder. “O
