Reed’s POV “Why are you worried?” Caren asks me. “I had to put up with a lifetime of abuse from David. The day he was to become Alpha, I knew my life would be over. Which was why I left. He would then have taken great pride in beating me to death. All because I was his brother.” She looks at me. “You keep me grounded. Can you imagine what I would be like with some power-hungry man as my mate?” She smiles at me. “You are perfect for me.” She says, looking out of the window. “Caren.” I say. She looks at me. “There is something else you ought to know. “The Luna of Blue Valley Pack. When it was her 18th birthday, I was mated with her. But she chose David over me. Because he was going to be Alpha and I was a nobody.” Caren smirks. “Her loss was my gain.” She says, while leaning over and kissing me. “You know we won’t be there until tomorrow. Even if we drive through the night. How would you feel about letting Deana and Jaden out for a night? Let them have a little fu
Eden’s POV “I can’t believe it, Ara. It’s only been a few weeks since you were mated to Ethan.” She nods her head frantically, smiling. “You’re the first to know. I haven’t even told Ethan yet.” She tells me happily. Since the attack, me and Ara have become close friends. She no longer works in the kitchen. She works with Uncle Rayne in the royal guard. He has appointed several deputies. Ara is one of them. She still works at the stables, though. She wouldn’t leave her horse’s safety to anyone else. Me and Nix help her clean the stables every day, though. It’s disgusting, but it’s something we do together. It helps remind me of how I have grown in the last month. She and Ethan mated a day after the eclipse, and now she is telling me she has just found out she is pregnant. “My new job is great. But being a mom is the most rewarding job in the world. The most difficult too, but the most rewarding.” “I’m on my way to tell him now. If you want to come with me.” “It w
Christina’s POV After my talk with Summer, I realized a few things. I had never given my future a second thought. What did I want from my life? I couldn’t expect others to know it if I didn’t myself. It was the same for my belongings. How was anyone to know I had nothing if I had told no one? The maid only found out I had nothing because I was handwashing my underwear in the sink. Then there are my mates. Summer was right about them, too. Before seeking advice from others, we had to get to know each other. This is our bond and no one else’s. No two bonds are the same. I had to give our bond a chance. That day, I started holding both of their hands. It was nice. We went for a walk out in the sunshine. I felt warm and tingly inside and out. They made me laugh and smile. I had to admit it. They made me feel happy. Which is an unusual feeling for me. Later on that day, we had a picnic out in the sunshine. It was just nice not to feel pressured. Just two guys and a girl enjoying ea
Christina’s POV I can’t believe I had sex last night. I have no one I can talk to about this. Caren is off with Reed, and I’m certainly not telling Summer about it. “Quinn, I had sex.” I tried telling her. But she is blocking me out. I climbed over Max, heading for the bathroom. My body aches a bit, but overall, I am fine. I turn on the shower and jump in. The hot water soothes my body. Max comes into the bathroom naked. “Are you okay?” He asks me. I just stared at him. I had sex with him last night. “Hey, my eyes are up here,” he says to me, laughing. “I’m fine.” I responded, not realizing I was staring at his cock. After he leaves, I finish washing myself and head into the bedroom. “Morning beautiful.” Jax says to me. He is naked too. He walks over and kisses me, his cock slapping against my stomach. I feel like a giddy schoolgirl, and I was never a giddy schoolgirl. “Fancy a bit more practice?” he suggests. What have I started? I grinned at him. “I can’t. I
Eden’s POV “Thank you.” I told Christina. As we wait for the first of our mating ceremony to begin. I smiled and gave her a hug. “That’s what are sisters for?” She said to me. The last few weeks, my emotions have been all over the place. To be told that as Nix had already marked me, and I wouldn’t be taking part in the royal mating ceremony. I was so upset and jealous of Christina. It took Charisma and Nix days to make me realize that, regardless of how Nix marked me; I was his forever. It was now the turn of my brothers and Christina. Nix told me that when Christina found out that I wouldn’t be taking part in the royal mating ceremony, she was fuming. She point blank refused to take part in any of it. In fact, she threatened to leave. She demanded that it was my birthright to take part. That I shouldn’t be punished because of what the Wolf Council forced Nix to do. She told my dad’s and grandma that she would rather burn in the pits of hell than see the Wolf Council win
Dylan’s POV “Yes honey. I will be home for your birthday. Before the clock strikes midnight, I will be there. I promise.” I tell Melissa. Who's excited about her upcoming 18th birthday. We already know we’re mates. The goddess already told us at Christina and Nix’s mating ceremony, when she talked about our children. But it’s not official yet. Melissa and I thought it was best to wait for her wolf to arrive before doing anything. We wanted that night to be the most special night of our lives. It will be the night we commit ourselves to each other forever. I also knew that Christina had planned a party for Melissa, “ladies only, until 11pm.” I was told. Christina made me laugh when she said it, “It will be Melissa’s last night of freedom from YOU.” She said as she jabbed her finger into my chest. “If it will make Melissa happy, that is all I care about.” I told Christina. I promised to stay away until the evening of her birthday. As long as Christina helped me, make that moment speci
Summer’s POV Right before the blue moon’s effects kicked in. Alexis told me to stay out of trouble before she went dormant. “A year already since the Wolf Council’s attack,” I said to Nathan. It doesn’t feel like that long ago since we lost Adam. Today we are holding a memorial service to remember the event and honor the memory of our lost friends and loved ones. “It’s going to be an emotional day for many people.” He answers me. I already know that. The Wolf Council’s plans were set in motion a year ago when Alpha Rick had me and Eden kidnapped. I’m going to lay some flowers on the grave of my hero, Millie, later on. I have already spoken to Parker about organizing a service at her graveside. He agreed, feeling it was only fitting to honor her on the same day as well. “A lot of people are already downstairs, eating breakfast.” Dawson says as he walks into our bedroom. “Okay. I’m coming.” I said as I pulled my black dress over my head. The three of us walk downstairs and my stoma
Maddox’s POV - 28 weeks into pregnancy.“Yes love. I will pick them up for you on my way home.” I told Lottie, as I walked out of our home. Thankfully, Parker needs mine and Reed’s help again with some repairs within the pack. Reed is already waiting for me outside. I can tell from his expression that he’s feeling as defeated as I am. “What’s she asked for today?” he asks me. “Peanut butter and pickles.” He laughs. “Think Caren beats her today. Boiled eggs and horseradish?”“That sounds disgusting.” I told him. It’s become a bit of a competition over the last few months. Caren and Lottie’s food cravings are all over the place. No two days are the same. We both struggle to keep up. But I can’t let Lottie get stressed out. She’s pregnant with my twin sons.We made our way to the pack house. Parker’s house. “If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times. Parker is one lucky man.” Reed says as we walk through the door. “Morning.” Parker greets us cheerfully. Truthfully, I am jealous
