Just a short but steamy one tonight , i will do two tomorrow MM xx
Alpha Prince Orion Watching my mate arrive in the main dining hall , my heart swells with love and pride. She is just stunning and oh goddess she's sexy . “ For goddess sake Orion , you know your slavering, '' Lex says as he snickers while he rips into a bit of bread . I shoot him a look basically telling him to shut up , he just shakes his head but stands as the women get to the table . Watching Lex pull out Fallon's chair and give her a warm smile , I turn to hold the chair out when I notice my mate and Red exchange a look then look back at Lex and Fallon . Something is up. I link Haggen and ask if he saw the exchange between them. If he knows what's going on he just looks at me and shrugs at me . There is definitely something that all the females seem to know . “ Orion , baby we are going to head into the city tomorrow to look for something for the coronation and Luna ceremony “ Leonor says as she starts eating . I find my wolf growling so I put my fork down and pinch the br
Leonor pov I knew I was being unreasonable but I had looked after myself for a long time now . Lil kept asking if something was wrong as I was quiet and Fallon looked like she was lost in her own thoughts . Maybe this trip was silly with the possibility of a threat to both Fallon and I , but I just needed time to think, time to breathe . The royal pack is beautiful and has everything you might need but the neutral city has been my home , my comfort and safe place . I miss old Sam and Murren , things were just going too fast . Crossing the border I felt it the shield that protected the pack , Lil had a frown on her face and Fallon was looking at me . The moment the shield was gone I felt it , it was just faint but I knew he was watching . But the truth was i was fucking sick of this shit and was ready for it to be over . I have repeatedly offered to use me as bait to draw the fucker out , but of course everyone thought that was a wrong idea . The thing was I felt no threat from
Lilith pov My heart is sinking as I try to keep the shield up over us but they are strong . I know my best friend and I know she will not run or put others in danger . I am chanting as fast as I can but I can feel my magic draining my life source . As soon as Len steps out I stop. Fallon hands me a wet wipe from her bag . “ Your nose and eyes are bleeding , are you ok?” I smile my thanks and clean my face . I feel weak at this point and need to think on the spot. As I look at Fallon she is struggling to deal with it. Her normal golden skin looks pale and her hands are shaking . “ Fallon , he will take you both . I need a small amount of your blood so i can track you so we can always know where to find you ok “ she nods then asks about Len . letting her know i already have Len’s she allows me to take it . I can hear Len trying to keep Fallon out of it and I smile , she really is born to be a queen . Looking at my only other friend I pray to the moon goddess and my goddess to keep t
Leonor pov As much as she is trying, Fallon is shaking like crazy , I keep trying to reassure her . Stepping through the portal , we were greeted with a stunning blonde who looked like she was chewing a wasp . As soon as the dark lord steps through behind me the portal shuts . “ Now , Ladies i assume you both would prefer a nice comfy room rather than the dungeon ? “ I find myself just staring at him , with a are you fucking serious look on my face . Looking away from him, I decide to ignore him and take my surroundings in . We are in what looks like some sort of receiving room , decorated in rich colours with gold fittings . The furniture was dark wood with a shiny finish , oh and the dark snarling barbie . Who looks even more sinister standing in front of the large open fire . Fallon steps closer when the dark barbie steps up in front of us , I honestly have no idea why she thinks i would back down or care more to the point . The fact she towers over me , obviously thinks i
Leonor pov Waking up the next day , my heart was heavy. I missed Orion and Jewel was pining for Onix . Fallon was still clearly terrified and could not understand how I wasn't . I had spent the first hour of the day pacing in the room , my plan was clear: divide and conquer . I don't think it should be too hard with a serious pist off dark barbie with jealousy issues . No one and I mean no one can think straight when it is coming from an emotional place . I am still pacing when Fallon comes out of the bathroom with a frown on her face it stops me in my tracks . “ Fal , you ok?” she looks up at me as though I had interrupted her . “ Len , can you feel your wolf ? I can't feel Mist . At first I thought she was in a huff , she can be like that “ she says with a small shy smile . ‘ Jewel , can you sense Mist ?’ I decided if there was anything she could tell us . ‘ Len , she seems to be there but in a deep forced sleep ‘ i find myself confused ‘ How are you still awake ? " I ask he
Cicero pov I won't lie , I was taken aback by Leonor's statement about her childhood . Even Reec stiffened at her statement , I knew that the stupid old wolf had been doing something underhand but beating his child . I could feel the darkness rage with anger at the mention of her being hurt . I know they are drawn to her , I've seen it, at the fights . She embraces the darkness , letting them cloak her using their strength and speed . I don't even think she knows , I saw them accept her . I watched as she allowed them in , they lapped at her golden skin . It just made me realise the prophecy was correct , both dark and light are drawn to her . She enjoyed the feeling they gave her , she marveled at their presence . I could see the way they were drawn to her as she was to them . The darkness has been with me my entire life all the three hundred years . My constant companion , they gave me strength when I needed it . I had never seen them be drawn to anyone except her , they woul
Alpha Prince Orion pov As the minutes tick by my patience is starting to run out . I am currently pacing back and forth as I listen to the five witches chat about their plan of attack . Lex is sitting in the corner chewing on his thumb nail , I know he hasn't slept since they were taken . He's never left this room , neither have I . Haggens running the pack while we have a breakdown , Red is dishing out orders to the witches . I won't lie , I had no idea she was as strong as she was . Red’s grandma has taken a step back allowing her to run what's happening , her love for my mate driving the determination . I am so lost in my own thoughts pacing , I almost bang into Red , “ Hey , look don't take this wrong but you need to rain in your aura , It's getting quite hard to concentrate with it growing .” I let her words sink in . “ Sorry Red , I need her home . It's taking me everything to stop Onix from shifting and causing havoc .” “ When was the last time you had food or sleep? She
Alpha Prince Orion pov Standing around the table was Red and four other witches , Haggen , myself and a seriously confused Lex . Watching Red take charge of the situation , I knew she was the reason that my mate is still alive . Looking down at the map , I just want her home. I know she can take care of herself but this is far bigger than us . In the past hour there have been three more reported teens missing . I keep thinking coincidence , but something isn't right , why now ? . It’s almost as if they know we are close to finding them , do they know ? . I almost didn't hear Red as one of the guards was mind-linking about two more . Five in the past two hours , what the fuck is going on . Red touched my arm drawing my attention back to the people in the room . “Sorry , what were you saying ?” Everyone looked at me with concern . “ There have been five missing teens in the past two hours .” Haggen looks at his mate “ Lil , is there any chance someone knows we are looking . You know
Lilith pov SItting looking at the body of Sasha I can feel the rage starting to build within me . This was a declaration of war . If someone's want for power is so great it has them taking innocent lives . Sasha was eighteen, she had only just started her training. She had lost her mother to cancer a few years ago. She lived in one of the rooms in the common house. She was a pleasant young girl, always happy to help. Yet as I stare at the haunted expression, the fear on her face. I feel like I have failed her, not only her but all these women. They look to me for guidance but seriously i have no fucking idea what to do, how to go forward. I can feel Haggens anger coming down the mate bond not only anger but fear for me. He is here for me and I know he needs to go back soon but his duty to the pack and his love for me is tearing him in two. The darker side of me is sitting just under the surface wanting to rip this whole world apart. I know I can't, I know I have a duty of care to
Zara povThat little bitch wants to think she can look down on me , she has no idea of my power . Who does she think she is ? and my darling sister just allows her to talk to me as she wants. Well, they have no idea what I am capable of and who I know . Leaving her office with Telia on my heels, I was so furious I didn't see the girl walking towards me with a basket full of what looked like herbs until we collided . “Watch what you are doing you stupid girl” I growled at her as she landed on the ground . “Sorry I was on my way to see the priestess,” she stutters . The Priestess , the fucking Priestess is this what she has been asked to be called . I do not think so. I think to myself as the girl gathers the content of the basket that had spilled out over . As I watch her scrambling around picking it up from the ground my temper spikes and I step on the girl's hand . As I step harder I hear the bones break as she squeals , Telia looks around with wide eyes. “Mama , what if someon
Lilith pov I hardly slept. The spirits are not happy and unfortunately since i took the job it's me they let know of their displeased moods . The minute I took the position I was bound by their rules , except only those who have been or are a high priestess will know we are forbidden to talk about our bounds and the rules we are bound by . This is something Zara will never understand , the powers I now hold are vast and extremely draining on your own reserve . Telia isn't strong enough and there is too much darkness in Zara for her to be given the responsibility , the spirits would never allow it . I have been trying to work through some paperwork to do with one of the other covens when my office door was opened and in waltzed Zara and Telia. “Ah Lilith , you are here” Zara says as she makes herself at home in my office . “Yes I am here in my own office” I say back dripping it in sarcasm . “Now now little LIl remember your manners when talking to someone older” She says, narrowi
Lilith pov My patience is wearing thin with this bitch , being now bound by the laws of our goddess means I can't just get rid of her . Sometimes I wonder what the point is in dealing with this shit , no wonder my Grandma looked exhausted when I was a child . What no one understands is the laws I need to uphold and stand by . It's not quite as easy as just taking the title like most think it is , I am bound and that alone is tiring . Haggens anger at her outbreak of threats and he is justified in so but honestly i just want to sleep and get lost in my mate . Standing from the table I thank Almara for my soup , give her a kiss on the cheek and go to my Grandma “I am going to have a nap , i am exhausted” She cups my cheek in her warm hand , looking at me with her green eyes much the same as mine . There are a lot of emotions floating in her eyes , the strongest being concern . I know she feels guilty for bringing Zara and Telia's wrath upon me . I place my hand over hers enjoying
Lilith pov A week is never enough but at least Haggen will be with me for a week or so . I can feel myself dragging my feet as we pack the car to leave saying goodbye was harder this time now the twins have arrived . I wish to spend some time with Len and Fallon , sometimes a girl just needs her sisters . Unfortunately last night I had a call from Almara to let me know that Zara and Telia had been openly trying to recruit supporters from my own coven as soon as I left . That means they must have been informed I had left , so that is a whole other issue . I am already fed up with my position. I would quite happily give it up but my Grandma has had her heart set on me guiding the covens into a united front . As our car leaves the packlands my heart hardens as I need to get myself back into the role I hate the most . “Hey baby , are you ok ?” Haggen asks as he leans over and squeezes my leg . Drawing me out my thoughts , taking a big sigh, I turn to him . “I have a bad feeling a
Lilith pov I hate that I had to leave again , especially since Len is pregnant but I need to work through the shit with the covens . The backlash since I became high priestess has gotten worse , in fact there is talk of them turning against me . If it was just me I wouldn't care but I have Haggen and the pack to worry about . Four covens I oversee , each coven has their own set of rules but they also have the rules of the higher power . I already know who is leading the unease against me , she feels she should have been given the position of high priestess instead of me . The truth is my Grandma has been training me for this since I was a child . She always said my powers were greater as a child than even hers . My mother passed away when I was child and I never knew my father. Grandma always said he was worthless and never deserved me . Being brought up by the most powerful witch in our region was something most witches would love . Our coven is the northern coven where I gr
[Epilogue part 2] 9 years later Alpha Prince Saint pov My head is banging as I sit and listen to my father lecture me on drinking too much . He wouldn’t understand even if I tried to explain to him , my parents' relationship is the strongest I have ever seen . Rubbing my temple , I have been drowning out his consistent talking until her name was mentioned . Bellatrix , the only female i have ever loved , but i fucked it up . Six months ago I broke her heart and every day I have hated myself for it . I can't remember how or why it happened , I have never ever looked at another female ever . For some reason I ended up so drunk I can't even remember getting back to the packhouse, never mind the female who was lying naked next to me . Six months I have tried to piece together that night but the only thing that ever is there is the look on Bellatrix’s face the morning she stood in the doorway to my room with coffee in hand like she did every other morning . The look on her beauti

Leonor pov We are all waiting outside the delivery room for the birth of the future Gamma to happen , it's been almost two hours . I have never seen Lex looking so stressed out, poor guy . I have just finished checking on the twins when the first screeches of a new life entering this world reach our ears . Lex bursts through the door looking rather dishevelled and flushed “ It’s a boy , we have a son .” We all cheer before he goes back in the room to his mate and son . I feel Orion’s big strong arms wrap around me from behind , he kisses my temple . “ Well, it looks like Saint now has his Gamma .” Orion says with a proud look on his face . After another half hour we are allowed in to visit Fallon and her new baby son . Fallon as always is sitting up looking like she hasn't just given birth , the look of pure love on her face as she gazes at her new pup . Lex is sitting beside her , a protective arm around his little family . What was the best part was seeing Lilith being trul
