I sat in the living area by the fireplace rubbing my already big belly. I was still trying to wrap my head around having five children. Phoenix assures me that we can handle it, but I’m not as confident as he is; I won’t even have my mother or uncles here to help me, especially since there were five of them. It would be nice if I could talk to someone that has or even had a big family. I sat there contemplating when Amber walked in with the biggest smile on her face, I chuckled, “You just got off the phone with Christopher, didn’t you?” Her smile only grew as she nodded her head profusely,
“He wishes you the best and would like to know the plan when you finally figure that out.” She stated, I only stared at my stomach before giving her a weak smile,
“Okay, I will.” I told her,
“Oh, and one more thing…
Five weeks. Five weeks since I became a mother. The warriors from Packs all around the world were offering support alongside Alphas, witch covens offered support and even some of the vampire elders were on my side and had hundreds behind them awaiting my orders. Phoenix was playing with the babies while I went over things for the meeting in my head, what didn’t help was the adorable interruption of Artemis crawling over to me and reaching for me. I bent down and picked her up and snuggled her; Phoenix saw it as an opportunity to take a photo of the precious moment. “It’s hard to believe the twins are already crawling.” He told me, I smiled and nodded, “I know. Mom had told me that I hit many stages earlier than other infants just a few weeks after my birth.” I booped Artemis’s nose and she giggled, “They’re just like their momma.” I cooed, which earned me a small smile and chuckle from Phoenix, 
I stared at Selene as she slept. The poor thing has been so stressed out that she needed to rest. The nightmares were getting worse and the twins were having a tough time sleeping through the night. Coaxing the twins back to sleep, I placed them in the same crib together which seemed to work. Selene shifted in the bed, strands of her hair fell over her face; I couldn’t help but smile at her. Leaning towards her, I moved the hairs from her face and stroked her soft skin. Training was killing her, but Selene, my beautiful wife, she’s so strong. I know that no matter what happens to me, to Amber, to any of us, Selene will never stop fighting for what’s right. I sat back to admire her beauty but then she shot up, “Hey, hey,” I said softly, gaining her attention, “it’s okay, you’re okay.” She sighed softly,“What’s wrong?” She asked, &ldquo
This is it, I thought. Today is the day we dethrone my grandmother. I watched out the window as the Silvermoon Pack warriors trained; other Alphas from different packs and their warriors came to help. I’m terrified, but I’m trying to hide it. But it’s hard to hide things from my husband. Phoenix came up behind me and hugged me tightly, “It’s going to be okay, Selene.” He told me; his attempts to be convincing weren’t doing any good. I simply smiled and turned so I could look into his eyes, “Yes, it is.” I said before turning my attention back to the window. Phoenix kissed my shoulder then asked, “What is it?” I sighed and turned around to face him completely, “So many of us…” my voice cracked, “This is the last time most of us will be together.” I told him, “So many of us might not be here when this is over
Mara was destroyed but Selene was in critical condition. Everyone had warned her that the spell was too dangerous, but she was determined to win the war, even if it meant risking her life to save ours. Amber said that out of over two thousand soldiers, only three hundred were injured or killed. I was upset that we lost any, but I was happy that we were able to save so many more. After the spell was cast, Selene plummeted to the ground; I managed to catch her before she hit, but she was unconscious and barely breathing. Even after being beaten nearly to death, she still managed to cast the spell that ended the battle. I sat beside her bed and held her hand, praying that she would wake up. My uncle and cousin brought the children now that it was safe for them; they’d sit with me and watch their mother. All three of the girls would start balling their eyes out when Selene wouldn’t answer them but she couldn’t help it. Her heartbeat was slow and there was
Ten years. That’s how long it took to finish everything because of the battle Mara caused. My children have taken up responsibilities all across our kingdom and are more than excited to bring our people closer together; especially Apollo and Artemis. That’s all they ever want to do and they have declared that instead of marrying and only one of them assuming the throne after Phoenix and I retire, that they would rule as they do everything else, together. I could not be more proud of all of them, believe me, I’ve tried. I raised up and saw that Phoenix was still fast asleep; instead of doing the nice thing and letting him rest, I did the evil thing and started kissing his neck. His hands met my waist and he groaned. I couldn’t help myself, I started nibbling the skin which made his grip tighten; soon enough I felt him poking my inner thigh and I smirked. After getting his hands off my hips, I slid do
Claire comes into my room and opens my curtains, I groan and hide under my blankets, “Good morning, Princess.” She told me; I raised up and smiled at her, “Morning.” She smiled and started picking up my room, “You don’t have to clean my room, I’m almost twenty, I can handle it.” Claire gave me a small look, “It’s my job.” She told me simply, “Your parents are downstairs in the dining hall; I believe they wanted to discuss the ball for your birthday on Saturday.” I nodded and got up and began getting dressed, “Oh, and you have a dress fitting at midnight.” I mentally screamed, “I have plenty of dresses, I can just wear something I already have.” I told her but she went to make my bed and completely ignored me as she worked. I smiled and slipped on a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt. After brushing my
I walked out to the garden to see the tall red head, smiling; I called out to him, “Phoenix Mackenzie!” He turned to face me with the biggest smile on his face as he pulled me into a hug, “I can’t believe you’re home! How was the trip to Scotland?” I asked as we sat on the bench looking over the garden, his face beamed with joy, “It was incredible! Father took me to Inverness which was absolutely gorgeous; we went to other places as well, even managed to find my two hundred year old grandmothers’ grave. It was unmarked so it was pretty difficult, but we found it nonetheless.” He told me, I smiled and grabbed his hands. We were close when we were younger, but then his father took him away to practice his magic in their homeland, Scotland. Phoenix and I were devastated, but after he left, Mom and Dad managed to talk my Aunts into moving here with Amber. That was ten years ago.
I followed Selenes’ father up to the office, he opened the door, “Close the door and have a seat.” He told me; I did as he asked. I was normally not scared of vampires, but this was the king of the vampires, so I was nervous. I waited for him to say something, out of respect for his rank. He was looking over some papers before turning his attention back to me, folding his hands on top of his desk as he stared me down; I could feel a small bead of sweat roll down my face, “Phoenix,” He started, I perked up immediately, “the arrangement your father and I have concerns you and my daughter.” I tensed, “What do you mean, your majesty?” I asked, “Nick, please.” I nodded, “And what I mean is, your father and I think it might be best to join us, like the vampires and werewolves.” My heart was beating fast as the thought of what he’d say next ran through my brai

I watched Selene as she trained, her belly was getting bigger and I was getting worried. What if she went into labor in the middle of the fight? What if something happened to her or our child? Amber came up beside me and sat down, “Hey,” she said as she began to watch Selene, “how’s she doing?” I motioned to her and shook my head while smiling, “She’s...she’s Selene. What do you expect?” Amber and I laughed, “But seriously,” I said as I turned my attention to Amber, “She’s stubborn. All Selene wants to do now is train, and I’m so worried that…” I didn’t even have to finish my sentence before Amber pulled me into a hug, “Selene and that baby will be fine.” She assured me, I smiled and embraced her. “Thanks, Amber.” Selene ran over to us, a bit out of breath; we both looked up at her, “Selene, honey, you shouldn’t
It has been three days and I was helping some of the servants with the preparations. We didn’t have two weeks, this circle has to happen soon. It was nearing dark and already witches and wizards were arriving. I sat in the living room, reading a book when Phoenix came in, “Hello, beautiful.” He said as he placed a kiss on the top of my head, I looked up and smiled, “Hey,” “How come you’re all alone here?” He asked me, I closed the book and sat it down, “There may have been a mishap with some candles in the dining hall.” I said, Phoenix stared at me for a moment, “Was anyone hurt?” He asked, I shook my head, “Well, that’s good.” “Yeah, until the garden decided to burst through the windows in the kitchen when I was trying
The moment my lips touched Selene’s I could feel my jeans getting tighter as our kiss got more heated. After a moment, we pulled away, “Phoenix, the doctor said I was poisoned, maybe we shouldn’t.” He kissed me once more, “I asked him about it,” I told her, “he said that it would be safe for us. And he even said that the poison could have caused the low drive.” The second I got that out, I was tackled to the bed. Selene attacked my neck with kisses as she went down my body. “Selene…” before I could say anything she kissed my lips hungrily. Her hands unbuttoning my pants, “I want you.” She muttered, “I need you.” It was those words, those three little words that turned me into an animal. I picked her up and practically threw her on the bed and ravished her neck. The soft sounds of her moans turned me on as I unbuttoned her blouse, but she pushed me
