Reign After we drove for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Cracker Barrel. I love this place. I got out rubbing my hands together. Let’s go. I said skipping into CB. Hi, I need a table for 15 please. I smiled at the girl. She looked at me and her mouth fell open. Damien approached her. Excuse me, may I speak with your manager? He asked politely. Miss? He snapped his fingers in front of her face. OMG! She squealed as she covered her mouth. Please don’t scream, yell or call attention. He told her bring her attention to him. Get your manager for me, please. Quietly. She nodded and rushed off. When she returned, she had who I assumed was the manager. Damien went and spoke with her. That female better not touch our mate. My inner voice growled in my head. Not you again? I grumbled. And why do you keep calling him our mate? I don’t even know what the hell a mate is. I snapped. As crazy as this sounds, do you have a name? I asked. Call me Nera and she’s touching him, go
Damien Hearing the sobs of my mate made my heart ache, all I wanted to do was wrap her in my arms, hide her away and take her pain away. I kept glancing at her in the rear-view mirror, she looked so broken. We finally arrived at Reign’s home, she jumped out of the car and rushed her way to the police line, but she was stopped by Mac and Duncan. She was fighting hard to get lose but they held her tight. A wave of anger flowed through me, and I ran to her side growling at both men, who released her, and I wrapped my arms around her. Let me go! She kept yelling. Please, KC! I need to find KC! Who’s KC? A firefighter asked who was standing next to us. KC, she’s my furbaby. She was in the house! Please find her. She sobbed. KC! C’mere girl, come to momma! She pleaded trying to whistling for KC. Mr. McAvoy, may we speak with you? A fire fighter called. Jaz and Ryott put their arms around her in comfort, I stood behind them and wrapped all three of them in a hug. Slowly Reign sunk to h
Reign Streaks of sunlight peeked their way through the curtains, I groaned. Why does the sun have to be so bright in the mornings? I asked myself covering my eyes. I went to get outta bed, but I was pinned down. Reign, our mate loves us. He...they, will protect us, all you have to do is open up to him and trust him. I heard Nera whisper in the back of my mind. Oh shittles! Who’s lying next to me? I looked over to my side, cheese n crackers!! It’s Damien! He had one arm under my head and the other one draped across my waist. Why is he in my bed? I lifted the blanket, OH THANK GOODNESS, I still have my clothes on and he’s in shorts. I wiggled as best I could do to get up. I had to go pee. Every time I moved to get up his grip got tighter. I leaned back and looked at him. He’s so gorgeous, has a strong jaw line, his skin has the most perfect tan. His hair was a mess, but it is so soft. I moved some of his matted hair from his forehead. Mate is so handsome. Nera purred. WTF? Are yo
Reign We drove in silence with the only noise coming from the classic rock station playing softly on the radio. As we got closer, my tears started to silently fall, and my heart started to hurt. I don’t know if anything would be salvageable, all I really want are my pictures and my safe, everything else can be replaced but not my pictures. They were all I had left of mom, dad, and the life I had before they died. I prayed that I would be able to find my safe and pictures. We pulled up to the gate and we were immediately let in. Before we turned the corner to my house, I froze. NO! STOP! I don’t think I can do this. I whispered through sobs. Damien came to a stop and waved the guys around us. Little one, you’re not alone. We are all here for you. Damien said leaning his forehead on my left temple. I took a deep breath and nodded indicating for him to keep moving. When we got to the remains of my home, there were stacks of items that looked like they have been cleaned of the soot fr
Reign Actually, go to this address. I said handing Damien a piece of paper. He raised his brow at me. Just go there, Mac rented it for the next week. I need to get outta that hotel. Spencer and Moses already checked it out and are waiting on us. We will stay there until the day before the show. You sent them without telling me? He was annoyed, whatever, I rolled my eyes at him. You did say to let you, Shadow or Moses know if I needed anything, so I told Moses since you and Shadow were busy. I said shrugging my shoulders cuddling with my new puppies. Moses didn’t tell me anything. He said in thought. I asked him not too. Why? He asked. Because I figured you would argue with me about it, and I didn’t feel like arguing with you over this. I sighed. I need quiet, and I want to step outside without camera’s flashing in my face. I finished as we pulled into the long dirt road leading to the house. I wouldn’t have argued with you about it if you had just told me why you wanted this. I
Reign Reign, this is Koltyn. She pointed to a dark brown wolf; he was standing over the small dirty blonde wolf. The small one is Jazlyn. The little wolf yipped, wagged her tail and nuzzled Koltyn. Koltyn’s wolf’s name is Kota and Jaz’s is Artemis and the big black one is Damien’s wolf, Ayres. Ryott explained. You can pet him; he won’t bite you. She giggled. Actually, you’re the only one who’s allowed to pet Ayres. Ayres grunted at Ryott. Oh stop, you know it’s true. She shot at him. Ayres continued to stare at me and slowly moved closer to me crawling on his belly and lowly whimpered at me. What’s he doing? I asked, my eyes going wide. He wants you to pet him, this is his way of letting you know that he won’t hurt you. Ryott told me. He’s basically submitting to you and that’s a big thing, especially for an Alpha. When he was directly in front of me, he lowered his head and gently nudged against my hand. He kept whimpering lowly at me. I looked at Ryott, who gave me an encou
Reign We drove for about forty-five minutes when we finally arrived at our destination. Remember, you are a Shadow and Shadow’s do not speak, got it? I instructed him, he grunted and shrugged at me. I take that as a yes. Hey, there she is, long time no see! Hey Bucky! How’s it goin’? I asked giving him a hug. I heard a low growl, I turned and glared at Shadow. SHUT UP! I snapped at him. Bucky seemed to ignore the growl or maybe he didn’t hear it. Goin’ great, keepin’ busy. He replied. What’s up with you? You look stressed and you haven’t been ‘round for a while. Yeah, I know, sorry things have gone more than a little haywire. I told him scratching my head. Some psycho has decided to make me the object of his obsession. I grunted. Has he… Bucky trailed off. I knew what he was going to ask. No, but he’s broken into my house, sent threatening letters, stuff like that. He set my house on fire and killed KC. I lost everything. I whispered. Awe, squirt, I’m so sorry that happened. I
ReignWe stayed at the rental property for a few days of peace and quiet. I was still a little pissed at everyone, but I was slowly getting over it. I still needed to talk with Jaz and Ryott, I need to apologize to them. I didn’t mean what I said, and I needed to let them know that. Damien and I spent more time together, we would go down to the pond, talking and learning more about each other. Of course, there were times that he still irritated me but those are things we still needed to figure out. Every time he touched me, the tingles or sparks would course through my body.I have a question. I said as he played with my hair. We were laid out on a blanket enjoying the afternoon breeze. Ask away beautiful. He said pushing strands of hair behind my ear. I softly giggled, why do I feel electric shocks when we touch? And why are you always sniffing me? It’s kinda weird. I asked scrunching my nose. He chuckled at my facial expression. Well, he said pulling me closer to him, the little
Reign Reign, babygirl, you need to open your eyes. I heard Damien call. It’s time for Aspyn’s feeding. He said gently rubbing my arm to wake me up. Already? You’ve been asleep for three hours. He smiled. Feels like I just fell asleep. I said sitting up. How are the others? I asked as he placed our little girl in my arms. She was so small and light, but she knew exactly where to go. She quickly found my nipple and began to suckle. They are all doing good. We now have eleven pups added to the family. He told me with a sparkle in his eyes. All of them born same day? Of course, they have to do everything together. We are certainly going to have our hands full every year with eleven birthdays. This is so crazy. Has this ever happened before? I kept saying they’re all connected to one another but this absolutely crazy. I laughed. Nope, never. Grampa said popping the P as he walked in. At least not in my lifetime. He said picking up Riftyn to feed him while Damien fed Gunnar. Aspyn started w
Reign Babygirl, I’m here. Damien said busting into the room. I’m so sorry it took me so long. He breathed hard. Reign, sweetie, your dad asked if he could come in? Ma said. Yes, that would be great, I think we are going to need a couple of extra hands. I said trying to catch my breath. Damien, I’ll have your mom come in also. Ma said. Apryl no, you, and Deklyn stay. Reign is your daughter; you should be here with her when she delivers. My mom already said she wanted you and Deklyn in here. She will be with Jazlyn and Ryott when they go into labor he said with a smile. Jaz will need her mom, just like Reign needs her mom. He smiled at her. Thank you. Ma sobbed and came back by my side and dad walked in. He stood next ma and smoothed my hair down. Ebbie waited about an hour to see if the baby repositioned itself, but it hadn’t turned enough. Okay, this little one hasn’t turned so I need to turn the baby. I’m not going to lie; it will hurt so I’m going to give you another dose of pain m
Damien So, are the arrangements ready for this buzzard guy? I asked Jy as I flipped through the files on my desk. I’m still pretty annoyed that this fool is coming here. Yep, he’ll be here in a few hours and your girl is pretty excited. I threw a book at him. Hey! That’s not nice. He said flipping me off. Besides, for some unknown reason she only has eyes for you. Koltyn interjected his opinion. What do you have on this buzzard fool? I looked at Moses and Shadow. He’s worked as a freelance journalist; he’s been at it for the past 15 years. He’s won a few awards. Moses started. Even one with my gorgeous baby mama. Shadow smiled. Yeah, yeah but is it safe to have him here? I grumbled. We can’t find any reason not to have him here. Moses said and Shadow nodded in agreement. Until I am comfortable with him, I want eyes on him at all times. Damien. Jyden sighed. Jyden, please it’s what I want, just keep an eye on him, friend or not. This is not just the life of my mate and the mother of my
Reign Damien went into the closet and walked out with a pair of leggings and one of his shirts that fit me like a dress. Here let me help you get dressed. Do you want to take a shower? No, I’m still good from last night. Lift your arms. He said pulling my night shirt, well his shirts over my head and pulling the clean one on over my head. Then helped me put my pants, socks, and shoes. C’mon, everyone’s waiting. He pulled me out the door. Cloie told you I was throwing a fit, didn’t she? I pouted. Yeah, but I was already on my way to check on you and bring you down. The council members want to get the trial started. Mom told me a little about the counsel, but my question is, why did they wait til now to form? I asked him as we walked to the conference room. I’ll let them tell you. He chuckled. You’re gonna love this shit though. He said with a sly grin. You butt munch! I whisper-yelled as we walked to our seats making him chuckled. Good afternoon your majesties. Elder Jon greeted. Elde
Damien Did you really think that you would get away with my mate, my Queen? I growled. She is MINE! She has always been mine. He spat. Before I could say anything else her sweet scent of strawberries filled my nose. MATE! Ayres yelled out. Find mate, she near. Damien! Her voice sent goosebumps gliding down my spine. Reign! I turned to her; she was speed waddling to me. I couldn’t help but laugh a little, she was having trouble running. Jyden was following right behind her making sure she doesn’t fall. She’s going on two months and couldn’t run. I jogged over to her holding my arms wide open for her. She flung herself into my embrace and clung to me like a baby kola. Babygirl, I missed you so much. I told her nuzzling my face in her hair. Damien, you found us. I knew you would. She whimpered. We had a little help from Jyce and his mate. He smiled. I knew it! That little bitch when I get my hands on her... Luther snarled. You will not touch either of them! All this is... Reign motion
Damien Your majesty. Shadow called entering my office followed by my most trusted high-ranking members. We think we have found where he’s taken our Queen. We found an abandoned village about an hour and half to the west, there is activity but nothing like an active pack. There are a few families, a few warrior types but nothing we can’t handle. Koltyn advised. We left Noah, Jonah, Grant and Grifyn there to scout and get a lay of the area. Moses said. Also, that village is right on the edge of our territory. Jyden raised his brows. Are you sure? I asked. I thought all housing and villages were condemned after we moved everyone from there. They were, apparently... I cut off Jyden off. How did they get by our patrols? I growled out. It’s hidden in the trees, most of those living in the area their homes are built into the mountain side. We had no reason to believe anyone was living there. Spencer defended. Every time we went by there, no one was ever spotted, there was no scent, never any
Reign We walked in and the receptionist looked at me and rolled her eyes, What do you want? She sighed. First of all, you will not roll your eyes at my sister, who also happens to be your Queen. Grace growled. You will show her respect! Aleya finished. Ladies, what is the problem? Aunt Ebbie asked. Just reminding this mutt who her Queen is. Aleya narrowed her eyes. Whatever. The girl commented. That is enough! Aunt Ebbie scolded. You are excused for the day; you will be on unpaid leave for a week. Disrespect for your Queen or anyone else, will not be tolerated. You can’t do that! the girl huffed. Yes, I can, and I just did. Now go! Aunt Ebbie pointed to the door. The girl gathered her things and stomped out. I’m so sorry. Aunt Ebbie sighed. It’s okay Ebbie. I assured her. Well, now what can I do for you? She asked leading me to her office. This is kinda awkward. I mumbled. Did...has Damien spoke to you in the last week? I asked. No, but things have been pretty busy and hectic for us
Damien It was the only way I could get him here. He thought Damien would challenge me and when I won... he chuckled. ...the fight against your mate, I was going to name him as my successor and make you mate him. I never had any intention of doing that. I was hoping he wouldn’t find out and I would be able to let you know what was going on before he even attempted anything. I am sorry for that. He sighed. I never meant for you to be in that kind of situation. I, Steven Garan, Vampire King of the European Kingdom, hereby renounce my title and throne to Alpha King Damien Ayres Hunt of the Were Kingdom and to Alpha Queen Reign Dyanera Rose Raven Garan Black Hunt. I hereby vow my loyalty and allegiance. He said as he bowed before me and Reign. After Steven transferred his power to me and Reign, we both felt the shift in power, new voices were coming through. Reign inhaled sharply as she gripped her belly. Damien... she winced. Apryl rushed to Reign’s side. Take a deep breath, they are fe
Damien What do you want to do with Luther? Shadow asked after Reign fell asleep. She was only gone for a few days, but it felt like a lifetime. Keep him in the enchanted silver chains, dose him with wolfsbane and keep him in the cells. No one but high ranks see him. The girls don’t see him alone. Jyden snorted. Yeah, I know but it’s an order from their Alpha. That will keep them from arguing with you. Whew, thanks. Jyden sighed. Yeah, I know they’re gonna be pissed but they’re gonna have to wait until Reign and Madison recover. I told him gazing down at my mate. Ebbie is waiting in your room ready to examine Reign and the babies. Then she will examine Madison. Dad said hanging up his phone. Do we know anything about Madison? Jyden asked. Moses and the twin wonders are looking into her past. Shadow assured. The twin wonders are Reign’s cousins. Haha. We need to figure out nicknames for them, we have three sets of identical twins running around. Grant and Grif are the blood twins and Sp
