Leonor pov Trying to concentrate with Lillith looking like she was going to throw up was bad enough but knowing that my ridiculously handsome mate was watching was almost too much . I hate to have to kill my opponent, he was just too big , fuck getting bitten from him . I had only just managed to get out the cage when Lillith flung her arms around me almost knocking me to the floor . I couldn't help but laugh , she is so dramatic at times . “ Omg Len , that was amazing. I mean I know you are a badass but wow” my best friend says . I feel him behind me before I even turn around . Lilith stops chatting and her eyes go wide , “ prince Orion “ she says with a bow . I frown at her and look behind me , I come face to face with my mate . Well when i say face to face i mean more like my face his chest . I mean i thought Alpha but a fucking prince , really there must be a mistake . “ Hi , I am Orion “ he says as he looks down at me with the biggest goofy grin . I just stared at him ,
Leonor pov Leaving the changing room that night I felt so confused . Jewel was like a love sick puppy and not to mention Lillith and her crazy romantic notions , my head was currently a mess . All I wanted to do was have a hot bath and go to bed . Not being able to shut Jewel off for even a moment was getting too much . Entering the flat we shared Lillith offered to run me a bath with some of her magic oils to help heal and soothe my body , having a witch as a best friend has its perks . I stayed in the bath until the water had turned cold . I just couldn't get the idea that the goddess had gotten it so wrong , I mean a prince for me ! . I had been doing my best to shut my wolf out , she was driving me nuts . She kept showing me pictures of our mate . That night even though I was physically and mentally exhausted , sleep never came . At 6am I had enough of tossing and turning and decided to get up and go for a run . Letting Jewel take over and run always gave me time to think w
Alpha Prince Orion pov Standing with the two females while waiting on my mate getting changed was interesting , one was a wolf but the redhead from the fight was a witch . Both ladies were pleasant, you could tell they both cared for Leonor . “ So your highness , I hope you have good intentions for my best friend . She may come across as a hard nut to crack but she is a very special person and needs someone with patience “ The redhead says while basically sizing me up for her best friend . I nod and smile before i reply “ I promise you both i have only good intentions towards my mate , and i know how special she is plus after watching her fight am sure she could kick me into touch if i upset her “ i say with a small chuckle , trying to mask the discomfort i am feeling being interrogated . Being a prince and an Alpha it's not very often I am questioned about anything . The older she-wolf smiles warmly at me and says “ Son , you have no idea what that young lady upstairs is capable
Leonor pov After getting myself together and trying very hard to ignore my horny wolf I made it up the stairs to the flat . Opening the door I am almost knocked to the floor by Lilith as she jumps on me for details of my date with Orion . I can't help but laugh at her , you would honestly think she was the one dating the Prince . At that thought Jewel starts growling in my head ‘ calm down she is our friend , she is not interested in him ‘ i tell her while mentally rolling my eyes at her . “ Okay okay , let me in Lil “ she just dramatically threw her hands in the air . My best friend is such a drama queen , she has more male interest than anyone i know yet she is a complete romantic . The mate bond is her favourite thing even though she is a witch not a wolf . “ I need to leave for work soon , come on i have been dying to know how it went with the lush Prince Orion “ she highlights the lush just a tad too much for my liking , and without realising i growl or should i say Jewel do
Alpha Prince Orion pov Stretching, I almost fell off the small sofa. That was the best sleep I have had in a long time. Onix was so relaxed being near Leonor and Jewel . Hearing someone clear their throat I look up to and come eye to eye with the redhead , Lilith the witch . “ Coffee ?” she asks, holding up a mug . “Thanks , is Leonor awake “ I ask as I take the mug from her . “ She’s in the shower. She has to work in an hour, “ she replies . I must have been really tired , I didn't even hear Red come home I think while sipping my coffee . For the first time since I arrived last night I took in the small flat. It's neat and tidy , clean but the furniture is worn and old . I hear the shower turn off and I stand as Leonor comes to a stop in front of me in a towel wrapped around her and her while she is towel drying her hair . I can still see the faint sign of the bruising but she is still stunning . “ Morning , did you sleep well ?” she asks with a small smile on her face . “ Best
Leonor pov The castle and grounds were stunning , Orion would point out places and tell me stories about when they were young and the silly things they would get up to . He would introduce me to everyone on our tour . We were just heading back to meet the others for dinner when someone started to call Orion’s name from behind us . Orion’s body instantly became tense and he pinched the bridge of his nose , looking down at me he apologised “ I am sorry about this I'll explain once I manage to get rid of her “ . We spun around and came face to face with a tall pretty female , her clothes were so tight they almost looked painted on and a face full of makeup . Jewel had stood up and was now growling in my head at the sound of the nasally pitch of the female's voice and the flirtatious manner to which she was addressing him . “ Orion darling , who is this little one? “ she says as she looks down at me and touches his bicep . I can't help the growl that comes from Jewel, at her touchi
Alpha Prince Orion Dinner was pleasant , everyone seemed to like Leonor and she looked to be enjoying herself . I felt her unease when Fallon asked her about her wolf . It was kinda funny Leonor would happily tell us about her abusive childhood at the hands of her father but the mention of Jewel she would almost clamp up . My mate felt so protective about her wolf that she kept her a secret , so much so she would fight in her human form . Onix has already linked with Jewel; he was over the moon and the epitome of a love sick puppy . I won't lie, I'm slightly jealous. My beautiful mate is hard to read for me . I try so hard to be patient with her but it's getting hard , especially when I have her so close her heat and scent is like the biggest aphrodisiac to me . She unintentionally keeps leaning into me when she is asked something that makes her uncomfortable . I have no problem with this in fact she is making me feel relaxed , but the need and want to touch her is overwhelming
Leonor pov Entering his room my heart is beating so fast I know he can hear it . His room is twice the size of the one I am in but the decor is similar , the bed is huge with dark linen . “ Are you ok? “ he asks with a concerned look on his face . “ Yes , I mean I am a virgin and I know you probably had loads of female company but …” I mentally slap myself ‘way to go Len ‘ I think just as I feel his heat behind me . I am so nervous my palms are sweating . Orion slowly turns me around by my shoulders , I know I am trembling. I can feel it . “ Leonor , look at me please “ he says and to be honest i didn't even realise i had shut them . “ I grew up with amazing parents who loved each other so much . All I knew and learned was that nothing is compared to the mate bond , they are the missing part of your soul . I have waited for you for a long time . I won't lie to you. I have had females but never for any longer than a night . I am 22 years old and right now with you is the first
[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 . Saint on the other hand is quite a serious child at the age of eleven he is not far from six feet tall already , towers over his mother . He is a good boy Loves his family, especially his mother . I love to watch him and the other lads as they play . Haggen , Lex and I alw
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
1 year later Leonor pov I can't help but laugh as Fallon still tries to carry Emerald with her swollen stomach , the toddler perched on top of her bump . My daughter is still the apple of her aunt's eyes , she takes her everywhere . Although with Fallon ready to have her pup soon she is getting tired and uncomfortable . Saint on the other hand is Mr Independant , even at such a young age he likes to do things his way . Orion loves taking him with him when he's able to . The twins are ok about being apart except when tired they like each other's presence , it gives them comfort . Jewel and Onix are obsessed with the twins . With them now walking it can get extremely tiresome . l try to train at least three times a week , sometimes they watch from the side with Samantha and Jess . My little sister is blossoming into a lovely confident little girl . She is like a little mother with the twins , she makes me smile especially when she tells Saint off for growling at her . Yes my golden
Princess Fallon pov Watching my brother take the throne is honestly one of the most emotional things I have ever been involved in . Leonor is perfect for him and the best sister I could ever have wished for , even if she terrifies me when she is mega pissed off . They completely worship each other . Len and my mother have become really close , I am glad as mum lost her wolf and I know it has affected her more than she lets on . I visit with my father once a day to give him a boost and keep his health as well as we can with a terminal diagnosis . The twins have definitely helped keep his spirits up , I have caught him telling them stories when he thinks he's alone . I am slightly concerned for Lil , I know she is incredibly strong but the unease among the covens is getting worse . She’s been worried about telling Len so she has been sounding off with me and a glass of wine . She is looking tired , I know Haggen is worried and trying to be with her as much as he can . I am currently
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 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
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
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
