Emmett’s POVI’m in the car with Uncle Liam and my parents. They are introducing me to the family business. My kind doesn’t go to college normally, we learn from experience.“After we look at the site, we should surprise Sara and Shay,” Uncle Liam tells us.“Oh yes! I want to get some good gossip,” Mom does a little dance.We build and own nightclubs in both realms. We already have two in Atlanta, GA but we are building a third, because Dad wants to.We check out the site and see the progress. There are walls, and a dance floor, the lights are going on today. The stage for live music or a DJ. It’s all very nice. Mom is making all the decorating decisions with her favorite designer, and I’m listening as Dad and Liam inspect everything.“We let you mother and Aunts make the design decisions, they have great eyes for that,” Dad tells me.“Not Grace,” Uncle Liam says. “Remember the London Club?”Dad shivers, “Yeah, not Grace. You dated her? Why?”Liam shrugs, “I was trying very hard not t
Luca’s POV“Okay, feel good?” Uncle Taylor is massaging my shoulders.“Yes, sir,” I say, as I mentally pump myself up for the fight.The dawn hasn’t broken yet, and my Beta Uncles are out here, to both witness and coach me through the fight.“I see my Betas have chosen a side.” Dad jokes, as he comes to the field.“You can’t make us in charge of his safety, and not expect us to always be on his side,” Uncle Cliff is overly protective of me. Uncle Taylor has given me the side eye, more than once, after his mate has gone into overprotective mode.“Well, once he beats me, he will be Alpha and will need a Beta, any ideas?” Dad asks.“We try day and night, sometimes in the afternoon, but neither of us can get pregnant, it’s like we are cursed,” Uncle Taylor has jokes.“The Alpha triplets of Cooper River have a younger cousin. He is 18, and they are training him to be Beta in Taylor’s place,” Uncle Cliff has answers.The Cooper River Alpha triplets are Uncle Taylor’s first cousins. Since Un
Emmett’s POV“So let me get this straight, Shay is spelled, and her mate is going to kill the son of the wolf responsible, but we are going to defend her pack, in the human realm, with 30 Blood Moon warriors, all of us and Luca Lopez?” Edward asks, very annoyed. “Wouldn’t be easier to just give Shay to this Felix guy?”“Edward!” My father yells. “She is your cousin!”“Uncle Liam, I love you, you know that. If it was any other of your daughters, I would be leading the charge, but it’s Shay. How do we know it’s a spell and not just Shay’s wondering eye? Let’s be honest, none of us expect her to be loyal to one man forever.”“A witch, and the goddess, confirmed it’s a spell,” Uncle Liam tells us.“Fine, but are we sure we want to take Emmett and Luca? They are young and just got their wolves. They might be a liability, rather than an asset.” Edward continues to argue.“Emmett has his wolf and took Ike down in training,” Uncle Nic defends me. “And Sam said Luca is good.”“He went round af
Emmett’s POVI’m sitting by my mate’s bed, when an older version of Luca and a redhead, come crashing in.“Luca,” the woman screams and grabs at my mate. I restrain myself understanding she must be his mother. “James, he’s marked!”The male grabs at my mate's neck.“Who the fucked marked my son?” His dad yells.“James, calm down,” Uncle Liam says, holding James down. “He found his mate. He found his fated mate.”“Where is she? Why is she not here? What kind of mate would abandon him?” His mother says, rubbing his head.“I’m right here, I carried him here, I haven’t left him,” I say, in almost a whisper.“Who are you?” The woman asks, almost in tears.“I’m his mate,” I tell her.I see Uncle Liam talking to Luca’s father.“It’s not fucking possible, Alphas have Lunas. Alphas are never gay,” Alpha James says.“Yet, here we are,” I say to him. “Marked and mated.”“Exactly, where and when, would you have had time for that?” Alpha James asks, as Uncle Liam still holds him back.“That doesn’
Luca’s POVI hear Uncle Taylor question, why dad is having a difficult time accepting my mate. Now, Uncle Taylor and Dad are like brothers, so this is going to be an interesting conversation.“Can you ask them to come in, or let me out?” I ask the doctor, who just finished her assessment of my condition.“Sure, you look good. One more night and we will release you to your mate,” the doctors smiles and leaves.Emmett is the first through the door and by my bedside.“Just one more night and I’m all yours,” I tell him.“Things I’m gonna do to you,” Emmett teases, as I pull him in for a kiss.“I can’t wait,” I smile. “I assume from all I’ve heard, that my mate and I can’t go the Silver Creek Packhouse?”My parents stop and mindlink each other.“We want you home,” my mother states.“My home is where my mate is. So, if you can’t come to terms with the fact that my mate is male, I’m not coming to Silver Creek,” I sit up, as much as I can. My stomach still sore. “But, when I do return to Silv
Emmett’s POVLuca is released from the hospital, but needs to stay close for a few more days. My cousins, Sara and Shay, are still back at Blue Mountain while their Alpha secures the pack. It’s Monday again. One week and one day since the battle. Luca is up and walking, as we come into the Southern Crescent Packhouse. “Brother,” Edward calls out to me, as we enter. “This is my mate, Monica.”The she-wolf is small, chocolate colored skin, her hair is shoulder length and natural. “Nice to meet you,” I smile and shake her hand. “My mate, Luca.”Luca smiles and shakes both of their hands. “Move out of my way,” I hear my mother yelling and running. May the goddess help us. She grabs Luca’s face. “Oh, you are simply handsome! I can’t believe it. I mean, look at your dad, you have good genes, but you really did something with them. Welcome to the family. I’m your mother-in-law, please don’t hate me, but I will get your Luna trained. I promise.”“Mom, chill,” I say. “I will not chill.” Sh
**Mature Content Chapter****Luca’s POVMy dad is acting in a way I don’t understand. He loves Taylor and Cliff. He would lay his life down for Taylor. Taylor isn’t even a Beta by birth!Taylor and Kassandra’s parents were not mated. Their father was head warrior and their mother an Alpha’s wayward daughter. Their mother left when the twins were only three days old, and my dad was 2 months old. My dad’s mom took the twins into the nursery, with my dad and raised the three of them, until they were 6, as siblings!Taylor was mated to Kline, my dad’s original Beta. Kline allowed himself to be lead astray and Dad banished him, in favor of Taylor as Beta. When Taylor brought home a warrior from Blood Moon as his mate, the whole pack accepted Cliff as second Beta.And, honestly, until I ran off and got hurt, Cliff has been a perfect Beta. He kept me alive all these years, despite the rogues who tried to take me down.I don’t understand my dad.When I pull it together, after a serious cry, I
Emmett’s POVI wake up in a bed, for the first time in over a week. It’s Tuesday, there is a nose in the back of my neck and an arm around my torso. He is breathing steadily. He is my mate. My mate has me, I have my mate.“Good morning, Baby,” Luca whispers in my ear. “How are you feeling today?”“I’m amazing and you?” I turn, so we are face to face.“I didn’t know I could be satisfied and comfortable, at the same time. I didn’t know my heart could belong to one person, so completely.” Luca traces my face with his finger. “I’m so, fucking, happy!”I can’t help but smile.“We need to get down to breakfast. I want to see if Thomas needs anything to get his Lunas back,” I kiss Luca and we get ready for our day.We find Thomas sitting alone, at a table with only coffee.“Hey, we wanted to know if we could do anything to help you get the girls back,” Luca asks, as we sit down.“Thanks for the offer. I think I have almost everything secure. I want to finish getting the last of Dark Crescent
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
