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
Alpha Prince Orion pov I knew the difference in Onix’s howl and this was not pain , this was joy . As I start to take in what is going on around me Onix becomes silent allowing me to think for a moment . The scent of my mate grew and her small hand that is firmly held in my large hand started to twitch . Looking up I realise that my mother is no longer in the room and my daughter is back in her small cot . Drawing my attention back to my beautiful mate, I realise her eyes are fluttering as though she is trying to open them . Leaning over I gently stroke her cheek and kiss her forehead. “ Leonor , my love please come back to me . Our beautiful pups need their mother .” I didnt even realise I had started to cry until I watched one of my tears run down her cheek . Without even opening her eyes she croaked her throat dry from days unconscious in the hospital “ Orion .” One word and it was my name . I had no idea how long I stood there stroking her hair waiting for her unique golden
Lilith pov 2 weeks later To say everyone is in love with the twins is an understatement . Len is an amazing mother even if she is exhausted and hasn't brushed her hair in days . The coronation and handover of the pack has been scheduled for two weeks' time , even though the king and queen will be staying on to help with handover and allow Len to get back into work . I had to hand it to my best friend when she asked why Fallon couldnt be Luna and she would help out with running the army. The elders almost had a heart attack on the spot . Orion of course thought this was hilarious and started calling her major Luna . Lack of sleep almost had the little king getting his bollocks handed to him , while Len screamed he will never be getting laid again as he dodged a pillow . Len is so tired and stressed at the moment I am actually worried about telling her I have to go back to the coven again , I am dreading it . Fallon and I have been trying to make sure one of us is with her If O
Leonor pov It's finally the day of Orion and I’s coronation. It's been a long time coming . The twins are almost a month old and the Queen , well Orion's mother has been amazing . She has helped me the whole time . When I cried she wiped my tears , when I wanted to shout and scream she just let me . I thank the Goddess for her , it still breaks my heart that we couldn't save her wolf . I think having the twins has helped fill that hole in her heart just a bit , you can never fully replace your wolf . When I was without Jewel it was some of my darkest days , your head is just too quiet . I have just finished feeding Saint , Jewel is mesmerised by him . She says she can feel his wolf spirit already and he is strong . Her protectiveness kicks in with Emerald though , she says her pure light is so special in this world . My pups are adored by everyone who meets them . After a lot of persuasion I finally agreed to ask Samantha if she would like to be a part time nanny to my pups . A
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
[EPILOGUE PART 1] King Orion pov 10 years later It’s the annual summer festival and we always have a family picnic with our ever growing families . The twins are now eleven and we also have a five year old son who is honestly a riot , Belenus never stops .

She still spends a lot of time with her Aunt Fallon especially since Freyja was born . Freyja is Fallon and Lex’s second child. She is a lovely little thing , at the age of three she just follows Emerald around and my princess never gets fed up , no she just looks after her .

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
