Bronwen
It has been five months since we were married and mated. So much has happened since then. We went back to Massachusetts and I finally met Andras and Morana's parents. I found out why they never left the house. They are in their late eighties. Andras was born in 1964. Had he not been turned, he would be old enough to be my grandfather. That thought bothered him a bit because he thought it would make me uncomfortable but it doesn't change a thing for me. I just tell him that he is the hottest old guy I've ever seen.
His parents decided to move to Georgia with us and live the rest of their years with the pack. Andras's sister Lilith, whom I disliked immensely, decided to stay behind to which I am grateful. Once I heard the full story of how Andras was turned and her part in it, I wanted to stake her in the heart with a wooden spoon. I also found out the family secret, that she killed their brother in a fit of rage. That's how he died. I don't kn
BronwenGrandma Katie hands me the two babies in my arms and I looked down into the beautiful faces of my children. One boy and one girl, just as their daddy predicted. Both babies have their eyes open, as if getting familiar with their new surroundings. That is when I notice it. Their eyes..I don't realize that I have spoken aloud until Andras is beside me in an instant, looking down at them. Ravana comes over from across the room and smiles at them. I look at her, giving her a wide smile in return. “They are just like yours.”Ravana beams. “Not quite.”She points to my daughter and I look closely at her eyes. “She has heterochromia iridum, which means that the same iris has two different colors in it. He has heterochromia iridis, like me, in which each iris is a different color.”My daughter's eyes are bright blue like Andras's except for around the large iris, which are tinged i
Andras “What?” Did I hear her words wrong? Or did she just say that she wanted to turn into a vampire. Tomorrow? After all this time, she has decided to be with me forever. I am touched and I am so happy at the thought, but then I begin to feel the same fear that she felt that night that she and Alec discussed it. I don't know what I am doing. I have never turned a person into a vampire before. What if I don't do it ri
Alec “Why isn't she waking up?” Andras has asked this for the thirty-seventh time in the last thirty-six hours. He is pacing the room, with his babies in his arms. He won't let anyone touch them, handing them over to no one. Not me, not Dad, not his parents. He just holds them both, hovering over where Bronwen lays in the bed. Where she has laid for the last forty-nine hours. Two days ago we all met up and had lunch together. It was a joyous meal,
Andras I wake up to the sound of babies fussing, but I can not seem to open my eyes. I don't want to. I want to go back to the darkness, where I feel no pain. If I open my eyes now, everything becomes real again and I can't bare another moment of it.. “Shh.. Katie Kat.. it's okay.” I hear Alec soothing his niece and I know I need to get up and get her. Them. My children need me now more than ever. I give it a moment more of enjoying my dark bliss before I resolve to get up-
Jeremy I watch as my family talk among themselves, each talking over the other. I have something to say to them but everyone is speaking so loudly, I can't get a word in edge wise. “Hey!” I say, clapping my hands. Nothing. “Everyone.”
Zeke I stand nervously, waiting for her to appear. I have never felt like this before and I have got to say that I'm not really digging this feeling. I had finally found my mate. I fell ass over elbows for her and she is.. indifferent to me. She is from a neighboring pack that Jack called in to speak to. He is asking the Alpha and the council of that pack for all of his knowledge on how to turn a human into a wolf. Jeremy's wife Jess just gave birth to their daughter, Natalie LeAnne Vale. Now she is ready to be turned, into a vampire and hopefully werewolf.
Noah Every time I watch Bronwen and Andras, with their three children and I feel a small pang in my chest. She was the first girl I truly loved and I missed out on her because I was an idiot. I know that and it still pains me. She is so incredible, but she has moved on. She has the perfect family now and I am so happy for her. I moved on, as well. I met Millie and I finally grew the fuck up. Which was long overdo, trust me. Millie is everything that I am not. We are complete opposites, which she didn't think would ever work in a million years, but surprisingly makes us perfect for one
Chapter 65Lucy “I think that it really sweet.” Camden comments. “Yeah, I like that he has decided to follow her to school. That's sweet. He didn't make her choose between her dream or him.” I comment. We are laying on my bed, watching a movie. It wasn't until I turned eighteen that my dad let me bring him into my room.
Two years later...Ollie I look at my wife and mate as she sits by my side. We are sitting at the head of the table in our dining hall as everyone gathers around. As alpha and luna of the pack, Sienna and I are hosting a feast for the pack, our family, and our friends to show off the birth of our son, Malcolm Oliver Vale. Named after Sienna's father and after me. He is two weeks old and he is so beautiful. Just like me, he has one eye blue and one eye silver, rather than green like mine, but he has his mother's white hair. He is the perfect mixture of his mother and me. We are over the moon with joy and love for him. Sienna has spent the last two years growing into her power. When her howl killed the rogues that day, it terrified her. But much like her screams being a weapon, her howl is as well. Now that she has been turned into a vampire as well, she is a tribrid. She is so incredibly powerful and I am in awe of her. Zachary spent months researching the mark on her fur when she
Katie “You are going to make one hell of a luna!” Blaize shouts at me as he swings me up into his arms and kisses me soundly as the last rogue falls. The fifteen or so rogues left run off with their tails tucked between their legs. I do not figure that we will see them again. “Where is Jaxon?” I am frantically looking around for him but I do not see him anywhere. Dread fills me as I scream at the top of my lungs. “Jaxon!” “Don't shout, baby. I'm right here.” I turn to see him hobbling towards me, with bloody gashes all over his body. But it is the tired grin he flashes me that gets my attention and melts my insides. I jump from Blaize's arms into his. He stumbles backward with an 'oof' but stays on his feet, even when I kiss him with as much passion as Blaize just kissed me. “Do not ever scare me like that again” I shout at him when I pull back. “I won't, baby,” he promises, before he looks at Blaize. “You okay?” “Yeah. You?” Blaize asks him, checking him over. They embrace o
Ollie I never made it out of our territory. Dad and Grandpa went to get Katie and help Blaize's pack, with the help of a few family members. Haylee's husband, Austin, my great uncle Mason and Lucy's husband, Camden, as well as one or two pack members. Dad did not want to take too many people and let our guard down, so we are prepared for everything. All of our pack members have gathered in the packhouse dining hall. All the children have been taken to the basement of the packhouse, where Grace, Nat, Trevor, and Malia watch them. They will protect them, should the need arise. I didn't go with Dad because I had this odd feeling that I shouldn't. It was like my gut was telling me not to go. I hope nothing happens, but I really am expecting it to. So now is just a game of wait and see. We don't have to wait long though. We have barely been settled in the packhouse for twenty minutes when I get the call from the guards. Rogues have crossed the territory boundary and are on our land.
Deacon “Rogues!” The sounds of people screaming fills my ears and my heart sinks. What had started as a simple drive over to the Shadow Falls pack to reject my male mate turned into dinner, a night of passion that I am still not sure how I feel about, and now a rogue attack. Byrne is out of the bed in seconds and out the door in less than another second. “Byrne!” He does not listen to me, never slowing his steps. I pull on my pants and snap them at my waist before I run down the stairs. When I step outside of the house, I see men shoving off beasts that are attacking them. I see wolf on wolf, snarling and snapping at each other. But it is the blood everywhere, the screaming children, and the decapitated bodies that stop me in my tracks. I have never seen such carnage before. I have actually never seen any carnage before. In all my years, we have never had any sort of attack on our pack until the attack on Nat and Trev a few weeks ago. We have all lived a very sheltered life and n
Katie I open my eyes and immediately yawn. How is it that I am more tired waking up than I was before I fell asleep? But then again I had only been out for maybe two hours. Since I couldn't sleep through the raging storm last night, the guys woke up with me and decided to pass the time. The conversation got super deep and I learned a lot about both of them while simultaneously oversharing about myself. It got weird at times but it was great learning about Blaize and Jaxon. I really feel like I know them now, so I am not quite so self-conscious around them. Although I am a little nervous about facing them this morning, after what we did last night. About two this morning, we had exhausted the conversation and a silence had fallen. In that silence, I had snuggled into Jaxon, who had been holding me against his side. His hands wrapped around my waist, just beneath my chest and with every inhale my breasts brushed his arm. So I, of course, slowed my breathing. I was far too aware
Zach Something wakes me up from a sound sleep and I sit up quickly. I don't hear anything or see anything out of place so I am about to go back to bed when a huge clap of thunder roars and lightning flashes outside. It lights up my room just enough for me to make out the eyeballs peeking out at me from behind the footboard of my bed. She must have tried to wake me up and when I sat up so quickly, I scared her so she hid. I feel really bad about that. Opening my arms out wide, I ask her. “Is everything okay, Jezzie?” Shaking her head with her tiny lip quivering as tears threaten, she comes over and climbs up on the bed until she is in my lap. She pulls the blanket over her and snuggles into my chest. “It's scary tonight.” “Because of the storm?” I ask her, even though I already know the answer. I even know why. Her parents were attacked by rogues on a night like this and Sienna's father ushered them out through the storm. When a big clap of thunder had boomed, Malia dropped to the
Nat I can not find Trevor anywhere. The dinner is almost over and people are trickling out, but I have not seen him in well over an hour. I have asked a couple of people, including his father if they have seen him. “I think the last time that I saw him, he was heading outside for some fresh air. But if I do see him, I will tell him to come find you, Natalie.” He says, giving my arm a platonic pat before he walks off to join the crowd. I head towards the exit, hoping that I will find him outside. And I do. But he is not alone. Grace is with him. When Trevor found out that she is a human too, the two of them really bonded over how left out they feel. They hang out all of the time and they spend most of the days together. In the last few days, I have hardly gotten to see him, because I was busy with Bron helping Katie, and then busy with Bron cooking all of this food. My sister needed me and I wanted to help her. I invited him to tag along with me, but he declined. I try not to
Katie It is Friday night and I am sitting in the pack dining hall with my family, friends, and almost all of the pack. With everything going on and all the new alpha's rolling in, plus the attack on Nat and Trevor, the pack was getting restless with unease. Dad figured that they deserved some answers. Hence this dinner. They spent the week waiting for me to cool down because apparently, I was actually in heat. Like a dog. I was panting and whining.. it got weird. For four days I was locked in that room with a stranger, where we stayed naked and in bed together, but we didn't have sex. Even in the heat of it all, when I wanted him inside of me more than I wanted to breathe, I knew I would regret it later, so I asked him to wait and he respected that. He was content to hold my bare body to his. And to kiss me. A lot. We would kiss for hours until we got so fired up that we had to stop. We did a little bit of talking, but not much has been discovered about each other, which is why
Katie I finally found my mate (I think) and I have to admit that I am low-key terrified of him. He just threw Noah across the room and then growled 'mine' at everyone. Luckily my uncle Jack, Grandpa, and Dad know what to do. My grandpa Jeremy tells everyone to leave the room. Noah first. For some reason, the man holding on to me watches him with a predatory look in his eyes. As everyone follows suit, leaving just my grandpa, uncle Jack and Dad, the man in front of me begins to relax. “Katie.” My dad says softly to me and I think that he is calling me over to him, so I try to get out of the man's arms to move towards him, but my mate holds me closer, as his body begins to shift to his wolf form. Hair begins to grow on his arms and his eyes deepen into an even more luminous shade of gold. They glow like fire. “Stop, Katie,” My dad commands and I freeze. “We have to stop talking to her.” Uncle Jack says and I panic. “No!” I tell them, but Dad holds up a hand to silence me. “I r
