After dinner, we head up to our room. It’s strange to call it our room and not Zane’s room, but he’s drilled it into my head that it’s our room. Zane looks a little defeated. I think Cerberus coming after me freaked him out more than it did me, but Zane won’t allow his full emotions to come out. I’ve noticed he’s very good at hiding what he feels, although sometimes he lets them slip through the cracks of his mask. There is one thing, though, that keeps playing in my mind. One fear I had, and that wasn’t dying. I didn’t want to give myself to anyone but Zane. I think I’m falling for him, and I never realized it. Isn’t it too soon? Maybe, but one thing is for sure I’m done holding out. I won’t risk anyone else having me. 

“You should go take a shower, and then I’ll take mine. We have to get up at a decent time for

    Zane grins as he kisses me quickly before he moves his kisses to my nipples which causes me to arch my back. He sucks and licks each nipple causing little moans to leave my mouth. Zane moves down my stomach as he nudges my legs apart. He lowers his head and licks between my folds as his tongue lands right on my clit. Zane sucks and swirls his tongue around my clit like he’s a fucking pro. I can’t help moving my hips. It’s so delicious that I close my eyes and let the moans of pleasure escape. Yeah, he’s claiming my pleasure, all right. I can feel my orgasm build as his tongue works magic on my clit, making me stupid wet. I don’t know how much more I can take, but I’m going to take all that he will give because this is what I have been missing in my life. No wonder people like sex because it’s fucking amazing when you’re with the right person. Fuck Sage’s brother. I doubt that loser could make me fe

    Stretching my back as I rub my eyes awake, I find Ari sound asleep on my chest. We didn't move from where we fell asleep last night. I have to admit she surprised the hell out of me last night. I had noticed she was getting more handsy, bolder with her moves, and always asking for a little more each time we did something together. It was a lot of making out and touching each other's bodies like horny teenagers in their parent's basements. I didn’t mind it, though, as I had never experienced it myself as a teenager. It wasn’t because I didn’t have girls to sleep with. That was never the issue. I didn’t want to form attachments, so I did my best not to kiss or make out with other girls. I didn’t cuddle after I fucked them. I used them for their bodies as they used me for mine. I always knew none of them was my soulmate. None of them were going to be my familiar. Ari has always been the only woman I’ve let myself grow

    Entering the old-timey dinner that looks like it’s still in the seventies, we are told to sit wherever we want by the red-headed waitress. Ari and I take a booth in the back. I like to be a little hidden. The headed waitress, who looks like she is in her mid-forties, heads over to us. The over amount of wrinkles on her face tells me she’s a heavy smoker, and the scent of cigarette smoke surrounds her. I don't even need Ari’s heightened senses to smell it.“What can I get, you kids?” She asks in a raspy voice that once again confirms the number of cigarettes she smokes.“Coffee, black, please,” I answer.“I’ll have coffee too, but cream and sugar, please,” Ari says sweetly.The waitress no

    After eating dinner at the diner, we head to the log cabin. There is snow on the mountain, and I can see that Ari is excited. I’m sure Sasha is looking forward to playing in the snow. The log cabin is small; it has four rooms. The kitchen and living room are completely open. The living room has a large fireplace and a loveseat couch in front of it. The kitchen has full-size appliances and a small dining area with a square table with four chairs. The backroom is the bedroom with the attached bathroom. There is a queen-sized bed and a nightstand on either side, and a dresser. There’s a small closet in the bedroom. The bathroom has a shower stall only, and it’s only big enough for one person. There’s a sink and toilet with a mirror cabinet over the sink. The cabin is small and practical. There is a closet in the living room stocked with some weapons.Ari gets to putting the food

    “It’s been two months, Liam!” I scream at him as I slam my fists down on his desk. Liam jumps, startled. We had my Luna ceremony shortly after Ari left with Zane. Zane has thrown a monkey wrench into my plan, which pissed me off. Ari was supposed to die that day. We had it all set up perfectly. We would say that she was part of the attack, and no one would question it. Then fucking Zane shows up demanding Ari as she is his familiar. It figures that bitch would escape her death. I hate Lycans with passion, but I really hate Ari’s bloodline. Her bloodline and my bloodline are mortal enemies. Our bloodlines have hated one another for centuries that goes back to the original Lycans and werewolves. I’ve known what Ari was for a while now. I befriended her, hoping maybe she would feed my secrets about the Lycan's plans so I could give the information to

    Waking in Zane’s arms is pretty nice. He’s still asleep. I can tell from his even breathing and lower heart rate. I carefully untangle myself from his arms. I go to my bag and grab black leggings and a solid dark red tunic top. I don’t even bother putting panties or a bra on. We will be training in the snow today which means Sasha will be out to play. The fewer clothes I have to shed during transformation, the better. Sasha’s thick coat of fur will keep us warm in the snow.Heading to the kitchen, I start making a pot of coffee and gather ingredients for pancakes. Once the mix is made, I fire up a skillet and start making them. I grab the butter and some of the syrup we bought out and set it on the table. I start frying up some sausage links and bacon. We will need a big breakfast with the energy we are both about to burn training. Zane does get worn out towards the end of the

    After breakfast, Zane helps me clean up, and then he goes to dress in some warm clothes. Sasha is pressing forward, ready to play in the snow. The greedy wolf wants more time to show off to Zane. Sasha enjoys prancing around for Zane. She follows his orders better than I do. Zane treats her like a fucking lap dog, and Sasha loves it like the giant puppy she secretly is. Zane comes out in black jeans, a black winter jacket, a black beanie, black gloves, and black boots.“Are you ready for the snow?” I tease as I strip, thinking I’d rather change where it’s warm.“Watch that smart mouth of yours, Pet. I can punish you in sexy ways now. Don’t forget that only I can give you what you desire.” He winks at me.I roll my eyes. Zane loves our back and forth just as

    Zane and I spent a blissful almost two weeks in the log cabin. We even have a routine. We get up and make breakfast together. Then we train out in the snow, and by we, I mean Sasha, while I stay safely warm locked inside my head. Sasha and I are on better terms, but I’m still upset with her for withholding shit. I know she is wise and whatnot. I’m sure she has her reasons, but I’m still not thrilled.After training, Zane and I head inside. I cook dinner, and then we spend the night having sex if we are up for it or cuddling. I do miss showering with Zane. The shower here is far too small for us both. Honestly, Zane barely fits in the stall himself. I’m average height at five-five, but Zane is at least a head or so taller than me.Tomorrow our little bliss ends as we go to the city. Somehow supernatural drugs are being given t

Watching Ever bob and weave around people as she makes her way over to me. She runs into my arms, and I scoop her up. She looks so much like Ari with the same hair and facial features, but she has my dark gray eyes. Ever’s light wavy hair bounces as we make our way over to Ari, who is rubbing her growing belly. Ari and I got smart and started using some magical protection till we were ready for baby number two. Blair is standing next to Ari, also rubbing her baby bump.

    Just as Sage is getting ready to come at me again, shadows move around me. I whip my head behind me to see Zane and Cade have arrived. Cade is already assisting Blair. Zane comes to my side as his shadows have Sage backing away toward Liam. Liam is now mostly healed, which would typically concern me, but Zane is here. Now the real games can begin. “Sorry, I’m late, Pet. I see you held your own just fine.” Zane states, taking out his war scythe. Zane has the shadows go around Sage and Liam, confusing them. I know how confusing the shadows can be. They overwhelm your senses, and for a werewolf, that’s torture. Zane controls the shadows, so he usually makes them friendly towards me unless it’s training. Right now, the shadows are definitely not being friendly towards Sage and Liam. I know the play

    Zane was a force that unexpectedly came into my life, turning it upside down. Zane taking me away was the radical force that woke me up. He saw into my core, into my soul, and woke me from the numb, cold sleep I had put myself in to survive. I didn’t even know that I was without certain things till he came into my life. Zane is the only person to love me in this world. I don’t believe my own parents loved me, making me wonder if I was worthy of love. Then Zane came along and showed me my worth.Today I’m going to prove my worth by completing my destiny quest given to me by the Five. Then I’m going to go home with my soulmate and cuddle our adorable baby girl while surrounded by our family. First time to take a bitch down once and for all.

    Blair and I head to my old pack territory. It’s strange to be heading back there. I honestly thought when I left with Zane. I’d never be back. At first, that saddened me, but as I realized how shitty my life was with my pack, I was glad at the thought of never coming back. It figures Sage would lure me here. The old cemetery is considered haunted by the pack. Over the years, the stories grew crazier and wilder. I could never figure out why people thought it was haunted or cursed. Knowing the truth, the tales make sense. The cemetery's ground is indeed soaked in the blood of lycans and werewolves, the beginning of a curse that created not only one supernatural race but also a hybrid race. No doubt it’s haunted to some degree.Facing Sage for a final time and knowing I have to kill her is emotional. Despite Sage not being my friend, she was still my friend. I shouldn’t care abou

    Mags opens the door, her usual cigarette puffing its pungent smell into my face. “My boy, you made it.” She says in her deep scraggly voice. Fate was not kind to her when it came to aging. She pissed him off badly. Generally, you’ve done and gone pissed off Fate if you age poorly. It’s not always the case, but it is a lot of the time. Sometimes he’s a petty asshole, which is why I’ll stay on his good side.“Yeah, you said you had information. I’m here for the information, not you, Mags.” I spit at her as I shove past her.As suspected, Mags has attempted to use a charm amplified by a spell. I can see the engravings of spell markings on the floor. I hear Mags shut the door. Seconds later, she is in front of me. “You were always an ungrateful child.”

    After we gather ourselves, we finish off our shower by actually showering. Drying off, we both get dressed. Unfortunately, we can’t go in workout gear. We have to appear normal. I’m dressed in my black jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt paired with my black trench coat and black boots. My war scythe and gun are on my hip. I’ve loaded the gun with Iron bullets. Cade will have his pistol filled with silver bullets.Ari is wearing torn-up gray skinny jeans and a black tank top. Over the tank, she has a loose mesh punk sweater that hangs off her shoulders slightly and her black combat boots. Ari has on her choker. I love that she seldom takes it off and wears it everywhere. My Pet loves to show off that she belongs to me.Zara comes back with Ever, and we spend some time with her. Cade and Blair join us as it gets closer for us to leave.

    Sure enough, in three days, we both get our texts bright in the morning as our Little Nightmare is waking from sleeping a solid four hours. I’m not sure why she slept for so long, but I’m not questioning it. We desperately need sleep. I read over the text from Mags.Hey, son. I’m sure your father and the rest of the Five have put you in charge of figuring out who is causing issues with the humans. I have some information that you will be interested in. Come to my cottage around seven tonight.I scrub my hand down my face. As much as I’m looking forward to one final fuck you to Mags and ending her miserable ass existence. I’m not looking forward to having to separate from Ari. I know she can handle her side of things till I get there, but I can’t help it. I love her so damn much I can’t stand the thought o

    The sound of a fussy baby wakes me from my deep slumber. The overwhelming groggy feeling of being woken too soon overtakes me as I rub my eyes. I sit up in bed to find Ari standing, rocking Ever back and forth. Ari is so lost in soothing our daughter I don’t think she has even noticed I’m awake. Ari is a natural at being a mother, which doesn’t surprise me, but seems to surprise her. Sometimes Ari is entirely too hard on herself and doesn’t give herself credit for how amazing she is.Everly is a few weeks old and has been keeping us busy. Ari and I do our best to balance getting up so we both can get some sleep, training in, and eat. I never knew a newborn baby could be so demanding at odd hours of the night.

    Hard to believe I’m days away from popping. My stomach is stretched far too much, my back aches, the fake contractions have me freaking out, and my feet are like balloons. I’m ready for the Little Nightmare to come out. The nickname Little Nightmare seems to be sticking. It’s slightly fitting as her father is a demigod of death and her mothers is a lycan. These are definitely two things that would give normal people nightmares, and Everly is a combination of those things. We decided to call her Ever as a cute nickname and Little Nightmare as her nickname for when she is driving us crazy.Our apartment is finally ready and just in time too. Zane and I are hosting a little get together with our family tonight to celebrate our new addition to the family. Shortly after Everly is born, we will have to finish our missions.
