Luca’s POVI have gained two new daughters it seems. Pheonix and Nora spend more time in my children’s rooms than I think my children ever did.“Good morning, Alpha,” Phoenix beams, coming into the Alpha floor kitchen for coffee.“Good morning, Phoenix,” I say.She smiles, takes two cups of coffee and heads back to Saturn’s room.“Morning, Father,” Walker groans, getting coffee.“Who in the hell is Father?” I ask.“I’m too old to be calling you ‘Daddy,’ It sounds weird. So, I’m calling you 'Father',” He drinks his coffee, standing with me.“Don’t you want to get back to Nora?” I ask.“Nora won’t sleep over. We make out, but there has been no full release. At least, not together. She wants to wait, and I just take care of myself after she leaves.”“That was a lot of information to give your father,”” I say.“If I can’t tell you, who can I tell?” He holds up his mug and I clang mine against it.“Dad is still sleeping. He hasn’t been feeling well. I think this business with Glenn Marsh h
Emmett’s POVIt took 17 years, but my family finally handed me a concept I wanted his name on.*************************Eighteen Months Ago“Casey’s Cantina? Seriously, Dad?” I am looking at the newest club in Houston, TX.“You are the only Wallace without their mate’s name on a club. Don’t you think Luca is going to notice at some point.” Dad tells me.“Bring me a concept as impressive as him and I’ll consider it.” I tell Dad.Dad smiles, “Here. We closed on the property in Las Vegas. His town. Your mom spent time mocking these up. Maybe you will agree, it’s perfect.”The outside is solid black, the Sign Diamond Encrusted, LUCA. The doors open to marble title, LWL, monogrammed in granite inlay, which leads to a whiskey bar, shelves lined with the best of best, bar stools like the high back chairs Luca uses in his office. Round ice, deep frozen, not pressed. The glass monogramed LWL. Past the whiskey bar, a general bar, with mix drink roulette. The stoolsare black wood with the mono
Dennis POV.“Hey, Baby, how is it going?” I ask Saturn on my daily phone call. It’s the hour devoted to me, no Phoenix, no distractions, this is my hour.“I tried to call you last night. My parents are in Vegas, and they got married!” She is squealing, she is so happy.“Damn, I was asleep and didn’t hear my phone. I’m so sorry, I was training hard yesterday. I must have passed out.” I lie. I haven’t been the best boyfriend lately. I need to tell Saturn. I mean, she is with Phoenix, so, it shouldn’t be a big deal.“It's all good, Babe,” I can hear her smile. Damn, I love that smile.“So other than training harder than usual, anything new with you?” She is fishing, why?“I might have a little news. Why do I get the feeling you already know?” She and I have never been able to keep secrets.“I didn’t want to say anything because I kinda feel bad, but it's killing me not to know. I feel you with someone. It's not painful, just an uneasy feeling, I guess, because the mate bond is not solid
Luca’s POV“So, what on earth are we going to do next year for our 20th?” Emmett asks, as we drive home from the portal. Sam had orbed the Fury home for us.“I have no idea,” I laugh, playing with my wedding ring.“Feels strange, right?” He asks. I see him also playing with his.“Yeah. I wore chains as a pup, but nothing since the kids were old enough to pull.” I laugh.“Orlando. Let’s go back and do our Babymoon again,” Emmett declares.“Hell, yeah! That sounds amazing,” I smile at him.“Oh yeah, I’ll get on that,” he smiles, as we pull up to the packhouse.“No welcoming committee?” I say, confused. I texted the kids that we were on the way.“They are teenagers, let it be” Emmett tells me.I open the door for him, and we step into the house.“SURPRISE!” Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, every Wallace, my parents, Aunt Kass, Uncle Edward, even Cindy, Alex and Martin, Clint, Melissa, Micah, Drake, Zak, their mates. Dillon, with Trevor and his mate, the Silver Springs delegation, e
Saturn’s POV“Eight weeks,” Phoenix pouts at me. “Can I ask a weird and awkward question?”“Better than anyone I know,” I answer, packing my clothes up.She rolls her eyes, “Are you going to have sex with Dennis?”That was blunt. “Would it upset you if I say yes?”“It’s not that,” She shifts in the bed. “It’s like this, if you enjoy it so much that I can’t please you anymore, will we break up?”“Sweetheart,” I climb on the bed and look her in the eyes. “I thought you knew; Dennis is my mate. When he turns 18, we are going to haze. You and I will have to break up then.”“Yeah,” she looks so sad.“I think this summer will be good for us.” I stroke her face. “You need to find some friends who aren’t me.”“I don’t want friends that aren’t you,” she whispers.We start kissing and it doesn’t stop there. Our hands start roaming. I love the way she knows my body. And I know the way she likes to be touched. We are laying down, still kissing.“Pants off,” I growl, making her giggle.Tasting her
Saturn’s POVAs I step through the portal, I smell him. He has always smelled of chocolate and bananas. I just can’t help but bury my face in his chest and inhale deeply. He buries himself into my neck and damn, I’m weak in the knees.“I missed you so much,” He whispers.“I didn’t realize, until now, how much I missed you.” I look up at him and he cups my face. “Kiss me, please.”Dennis smiles all the way to his eyes and gently places his lips to mine. I need more, so I grip his hair and deepen the kiss. He moves his hands to my back and presses us closer together. I can’t believe I ever wanted to leave his arms. But then, that gut feeling that this isn’t enough. I miss Phoenix. How can I miss her when I am in the arms of my mate?I push thoughts of Phoenix from my head and focus on my mate, whose lips are on mine. I open my mouth slightly and Dennis deepens the kiss, further.“Okay, okay.” We hear Rona calling to us. “That is enough.”“I am driving the sedan, get in,” Dennis tells me
Saturn’s POVDennis and I are standing at the entrance to the portal. Phoenix should be here any second. When we see someone come through, Dennis and I get excited.“Hey, guys,” Daddy smiles, removing his glasses.“Daddy, where is she?” I ask, annoyed.“I haven’t seen my daughter in three weeks. I can’t get a hug and an 'I love you, Daddy'. I did fly Phoenix up here,” Daddy smirks.“You also knew she belonged here with us, but kept it quiet,” I retort, narrowing my eyes.“I thought you wanted a surprise haze, so did Dad,” Daddy smirks and winks at me.“Alpha, no offense, but can I meet Phoenix please,” Dennis asks.“Sure,” Daddy looks at the portal.Finally, she emerges.I crash into her and lock my lips to hers. It’s the mini haze I knew would happen.“Holy shit,” Dennis says, looking at Phoenix.“WOW,” Phoenix says, seeing Dennis.“It's okay, you are mates too,” I smile and let them have a moment. “Thanks, Daddy. I’m kinda sorry I figured it out.”“Dad and I thought you might, you a
Saturn’s POV“Hey, girl,” I smile, pointing to the Firebird Dennis is letting me drive.“Hey,” Nora smiles, but look nervous.“Phoenix is getting to know Dennis. I may only have one mate when we get back, we shall see,” I laugh.“Walker said Dennis and Phoenix are going to be oil and water,” Nora looks at me worried.“Don’t worry, she can handle him. Not sure he can handle her, but we shall see,” I smile. “Are we shopping just to shop, or is there something special to shop for?”“I just need to de-stress, and this was what Walker suggested. I am really thinking I can’t do this. I’ll never be as good as your dad. He was born an Alpha, always knew he would lead,” I cut her off with my laughing.“Dad is the second son of the third son, he never thought he would lead anyone. My dad isn’t a great fighter, so head Warrior is out. Dad thought since he has Alpha Blood he would get a sweet little female mate, work for the family business and raise a family quietly. Becoming Luca Lopez’s Luna w
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
