Luca’s POV“Edward and Monica’s ceremony is in two weeks and then, two weeks later is ours. So, I was thinking, everything is running smooth; Cameron is doing great. What if you and I took a trip?” Emmett asks one morning, while we cuddled.“What did you have in mind?” I kiss his head and hold him close.“Green Creek is having a classic car show this weekend. We could go, you could see my passion for cars, little time just you and me,” Emmett’s green eyes make it impossible to say no.“Okay, do you have a relationship with Alpha Jackson so you could ask permission to be on his land?” As Alphas we didn’t have the luxury of just enjoying an event in another pack, we have to have special permission.“I already made all the plans with Luna Christina!” Emmett jumps out of bed and starts to get ready for his day,“Why do I feel like I just got played?” I ask, still laying in bed.Emmett’s laugh fills the room. “Maybe because you did.”“What if I had said no?”More laughter, “We both know th
Emmett’s POV“Silver silk draped around the room?” Erin asks me.“Too old fashioned. Just let the hall speak for itself. It’s a great room, it doesn’t need all the extra stuff. Sliver tablecloths on the round tables. Centerpieces of white roses, with three crimson roses, in a sliver vase, with a light blue half inch ribbon above it.” I tell her. “The room will be lit by LED candles, hanging from the ceiling. The archway will be covered in twinkle lights. As you and James walk through, the light will dim, slightly. James will take his place and you will stand at his side. Luca will come through alone. I will enter with my parents and stand to the side, until my dad gives me away. Oaths will be made. James will transfer power to Luca; you to me and we all exit the archway. It will be removed; the lights will come up for dinner. Luca and I will enjoy our first dance. Then, the floor will be open for dancing and/or toasts.”Erin smiles and nods. “Sounds perfect.”I can tell she is about t
Luca’s POVI’m standing in front of the Packhouse with Cameron, Cliff, Taylor, Cam’s Parents and the pack.Dad is transferring power from Taylor and Cliff to Cameron. The Beta induction is small, personal, but still, very important. Cameron and I have been friends since we were kids, but he is not a Silver Creek Wolf.Emmett and I haven’t seen each other since dinner last night. Apparently, that is one tradition that is important to my mom. So, I stand alone.“Camron Blake, do you promise to discharge the office and rank of Beta to the best of your ability?” Dad asks.“I do,” Cameron Answers.“Do you promise to put your pack, and her members, ahead of your desires and wants?”“I do.”“Will you faithfully serve your Alpha, protect your Luna, and lead our warriors with pride of purpose?”“I will.”“Oh, gentle moon goddess, we ask for your blessings on this Beta, on his heirs, and on this pack.” Dad raises his hands and brings them down. “Silver Creek Pack, I give you, your Beta Cameron B
Emmett’s POV“Luca?” I ask, as I watch panic fall on his handsome face. The lights are still dim, we are still surrounded my burning candles, and he is down on one knee, with a box.When the curtain drops, I see it, 1958 Plymouth Fury, in red. Fully restored.“Ewww, he is proposing with Christine!” I hear Patty yell.Luca looks embarrassed, I don’t have the heart to tell him he just proposed with a “killer” car. After seeing that movie, I never wanted to own a Fury.Now, it is, literally, the car my mate is proposing marriage with. Of course, it’s Patty who has to point out that it’s Christine. Because, at 8 years old, of course she has seen Christine. It’s Patty, you can tell she is the 18th child. They have no control over her.“What is a Christine?” Luca asks.I heard a few other car experts snickering. Cameron looks shocked and dismayed. Clearly, he was not in on this, because he would have never let Luca propose with the least romantic car ever built.“How well my Alpha knows me.
Mature Content AheadLuca’s POVMe- Meet me in our bedroom, NOW!I mindlink Emmett and even growl a little. This day has been impossible. All I want is to forget it ever happened. We caught one of our casino managers attempting to Embezzle $7 million from us. When we tried to turn it over to the human authorities, they said we didn’t have enough evidence and we should just let him actually take the money; then we would have had him. So now, I have to order a covert capture and detention of a human and hope we don’t get caught.We had three attempted rogue attacks today, in broad daylight, which tells me something is up.Emmett has been getting more and more restless, since Sara is now pregnant with her third baby, and Jessica her first. He feels like he is a disappointment to my family, since it is impossible for him to provide an heir.Honestly, we practice at least three times a day, but he can’t seem to get me pregnant, and I have also failed to impregnate him. We just don’t have th
* *****This Chapter contains torture**********Luca’s POV“Baby,” Emmett throws his arms around me, and I pull him tight. “You sure you want to do this right now?”“Yeah, she offered up their Luna and 200 others, within earshot of her pack mates and no one called her a traitor, or anything. I even saw a few smirk. She is a trap. I want to see what kind and cut off its head.”Emmett smiles. “Go get ‘em Psych.”Taylor and I enter the room and the she-wolf has been given a tee shirt.“Oh, there are two. I’m down to play with two.” She smiles.“Eww, no one in this room wants what you got,” Taylor makes a face.“So, tell me about this camp and how do I find it?” I sit in the chair opposite her.“First the terms. I go free. Any of my pack mates who surrender are also set free. I’ll tell you everything. Patrol schedules, warrior abilities, and the Luna’s protection detail.“ She looks me dead in the eye. She is trying to spell me.I listen to my wolf so he can tell what she is expecting. I do
Emmett’s POVWhen I wake up, it must be very late. It’s dark outside. My mother is sleeping in a recliner, holding my left hand. Luca is holding my right. I don’t move, so I don’t disturb them.“Luna,” a nurse comes from the corner. She brings me a cup and reaches over Luca for me to drink. “How are you feeling?”“I’m not sure. My body is stiff,” I say, waking up Luca.“Baby,” he was up quickly and kissing me hard. “You scared the life from me. I love you, so much.”“What happened?” I ask, pecking his lips, one more time.Luca took a deep breath and explained about me being spelled and how he killed the witch.“Baby, there is something I need to talk to you about.” Luca sits on the bed with me and wakes my mother. “Mable, we need to tell him.”“Tell me what?” I ask.“Emmett, I never told you, but I have a heart condition. Your father and I always kept it a secret. I had a pacemaker at 22 and I’ve done well. When you were out you, had an arrhythmia. Anirregular heartbeat. You may have
Luca’s POV It’s only been a week but it feels like 6. Emmett’s monitor has gone off once and he confessed he didn’t take his medication on time that day. Other than that his rhythms have been good. We are both hoping medication will be the only thing he will need for a while. “Hey babe, wanna have lunch with me?” Emmett asks. He looks so yummy, blue button down tucked into gray slacks. He has been working in the office only since the incident. He wears the battery pack in his back pocket like a wallet. He cut a hole on the inside of his pants. I forget he is wearing it sometimes. “Always, dining hall or here in the office?” I smile and raise my eyebrows. “Oh if you want it here in the office I’ll have them bring it,” Emmett smiles wide and comes to the desk. He sits in my lap and we are face to face, nose to nose. “Kiss me Alpha.” “Sir yes Sir,” I smile. “Sorry, sorry,” Cameron says walking into on us kissing. “It’s fine just a kiss,” Emmett says as he stands. I whimper at the
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
