Alpha Prince Orion pov Six days ago “ Ok , so everyone knows what they are doing ?” I ask the room of my most trusted . They answer in a collective yes and a round of head nodding . My wolf Onix has been on edge , urging me to get moving . I keep asking what is wrong. He just keeps telling me we must get to our mate . If I am honest he’s putting me on edge , well more on edge than I am . As everyone leaves the war room chatting among themselves , Haggen and Red hang back clearly wanting to talk in private . “ What's up guys ?” I ask as Red closes the door . “ Are you alright Man ? You haven’t slept since Len was taken.” As always my Beta , my best friend can see right through my brave face . Running my hand through my already messy hair . “I can't sleep , I keep having nightmares .” Haggen places a hand on my shoulder and Red runs a hand down my arm. “ She;s is coming home today , I promise you.” Red says with a look of sheer determination on her face . The power coming o
Haggen pov The fury coming off Onix was unlike anything I have ever seen , his aura was whipping around him . He was taking down four or five to our one , there was no stopping him . By the time Lex and I got to the bunker there was nothing except carnage , dead wolves and Fae everywhere . The growling and snapping of teeth coming from the end of the corridor . Making our way towards them we were not prepared for what we came face to face with . Jewel was on a table looking like she was only just alive , what has struck me is how is Jewel not back to Len ? When a wolf is injured or unconscious they automatically shift back to their human . ‘ Lex shift back, get Len and Jewel out of here now’ I shout through our mind-link to him . Looking back to Onix and Cicero they are engaged in battle , Cicero is supporting a missing hand and a huge gash to his left side . Onix on the other hand has what looks like a shard of ice sticking out his back right hip . Neither look particularly
Jewel pov The moment that they dragged Len from that room I knew I had to do something , for her, for our pup’s . Len fought and attacked as they dragged her towards that room , and as soon as they strapped her to the table I knew I had to save them . I shifted in time for the first dose of wolfsbane to hit our system . The hardest thing was maintaining my wolf form. Gritting my teeth I concentrated when the first electric shock was administered. It took all my strength to not shift back . I could hear Len trying to tell me to allow her to take the pain , but I knew I needed to protect her . The burning from the wolfsbane is excruciating , I try my best to stay awake . I have no idea how long the torture went on , I just knew i needed to hang on . Then I felt him , my mate. He was close , the moment I heard his roar I linked him . ‘ Onix i can't hold on much longer , please hurry’I could feel his emotions through our bond , anger , desperation and sheer determination to get to
Leonor pov It's been three weeks since I woke up in the hospital . I feel a great sadness , my heart is heavy and i feel like i cant even be happy and enjoy my pregnancy . My wolf sacrificed herself for me and our pups , and it's killing me . Orion has been trying to keep me positive but I know him and Onix are also hurting . I have dreams about her and wake up and the realisation of her being gone kills me all over again . Lilith keeps telling me to have faith that I may get Jewel back . I am grieving for her , for my smart ass beautiful big wolf . I keep finding myself daydreaming and thinking about her and I and what we have been through . She has been my one consistent companion since I left my father and pack . She kept me safe , guided me and I always knew she was there for me . Even when the darkness called to me she kept me balanced and helped me work through it . Her strength was unbelievable , she never backed down from anything and anyone . I miss her rolling her eye
Alpha Prince Orion pov Watching my mate grieving for her wolf was hard enough , but feeling it myself and the heartache my wolf feels squeezes my heart . I have spent the past two months dealing with the aftermath of everything that transpired . The last of the sentencing is to take place this afternoon and even though I don't want Leonor to attend as she is nearing her due date with the twins . The fact that she looks like she is ready to pop , my tiny mate is finding getting around hard . Carrying one Alpha heir is hard on the female, never mind carrying two . She looks exhausted and her temper is very short . She has almost attacked Lex on more than one occasion . Seemingly calling her a beach ball with arms and legs with her hormones raging was not the best thing to say . We decided to put off the coronation until the twins were here so Len can enjoy herself . Today is the last trial. It is Reec and her mate and both Len and Fallon are determined to be there . To be honest af
Leonor pov I have been feeling so uncomfortable for days. My doctor says that the twins are getting into position to meet us . Personally I feel like my vagina is getting ripped in two . Orion is trying really hard but his fussing has me wanting to beat the living shit out of him and don't get me started on Lex . Poor Fallon has been trying to get him to shut up for his own safety . My heart is still broken , my wolf is still in the front of my mind . I yearn for her smart remarks and horny mouth when looking at our mates . Lilith has been away most of my pregnancy dealing with the covens . I am so proud of my best friend becoming the high priestess , it's an honour that she has dreamt of since she was a child . Today was the last of the trials and that bitch Reec and her rogue mate is the last to be tried . The sentencing was fair , personally I would have gone for the death penalty . The pressure in my lower region gets almost too much as we leave the hall . The minute Lilith
Alpha Prince Orion pov My mate was amazing , she just got on with it and brought our pups into the world . I can't help but kiss her and tell her how amazing she is , she looks exhausted . She still has that beautiful smile on her face as she looks up at me lovingly . Red has my son. She is currently cleaning him up while the doctor delivers our little princess . Just as I go to hand Len our son her eyes roll back in her head then she is unconscious and the smell of blood is overpowering . The monitors start going off startling the pups . Red takes my son from me as Fallon comes through the door and helps Red with our pups . I am in full panic now that she wont wake up and she is deathly pale , her skin has taken on a grey tone . The doctor hits the big red button on the wall and an alarm goes off as more doctors and nurses burst through the double doors . They ask me to step back so they can work on her , asking me to go into the other room with our pups and family as my aura i
Leonor pov The last thing I can remember is Orion's handsome face and the sound of our pup’s as they say hello to the world . For the first time since Jewel left I felt hope and happiness , a future with my very own family . In the very short time since I met my mate so much has happened . I have spent my childhood in fear and my short adulthood fighting to survive . When all I ever wanted was peace and to live a quiet life . My wolf sacrificing herself for me has been the hardest to deal with, pain and injuries eventually leaves but the hole that has been left from Jewel’s departure has left me in a state of sadness.I can't seem to shift it . My pup's arrival has been bittersweet as I fear for them being in this world of hatred and evil’s when they are pure , born from love . I feel my sadness is going to be too much for Orion as I can't seem to shake it off at all . I am pining for her. My mind keeps going back to different memories we had together from the first time I heard
