Kari's POVAfter everyone had calmed down, I made my way over to my family. Ma came and hugged me."So proud of you." She said. I felt tears in my eyes, no one had said that to me since before my father left. I finally felt like a part of a family again. I hugged her back tightly when I felt my father's hand on my back"We are all so proud of you my little peppercorn." He said. "King Alex told us about how Hela fought, and how you respected the pack and made them feel part of the family. You are a true Lunaa. You were born to be one.""She definitely way, I think she has surprised me all she can, but she keeps finding new ways," Grant said."Has the King told you anything else?" I asked, and I felt my cheeks warm."Just how well you have done over the last few days." He smiled. I looked at Grant who nodded at me."I am having a child," I said. both Ma's and Papa's faces looked at me in shock before both lit up with excitement before they both engulfed me in a hug."Oh my god, a new pu
Grant's POVWe arrived back at the palace grounds by twelve and Kari and I made our way up to our rooms to change before we went back down to start helping to place the Omega's. The King had explained that the East most are of the Palace Grounds would be where we would look after our pack from. There were plenty of houses out there to be used and a pack house where we would stay along with our Beta's and Gammas and their families. There was a training ground where the Warriors could train and they had their own barracks for the unmated warriors. Any other unmated wolf would have a room in the pack house. We would all be moving across there later today. But first I knew that Kari and Hela wanted to sort out the issue with the warriors who were locked un down in the basement where there was a vast dungeon. We got to our room to change. Kari was now wearing jeans and one of my t-shirts which nearly drowned her. But I knew it was because it carried my scent and relaxed her. Gave her that
Kari's POv.I felt Grant's arm wrap around me tighter as the group moved towards us, what shocked us was they all knelt in front of us. I saw both Marissa and Zavier along with the others we had released reunited with their partners."What is going on?" The King asked. Marissa looked up."I am sorry my King, we are just wanting to pledge our complete loyalty to the Luna Princess and The Alpha. As well as the Royal Family my King. Thank you for returning our mates, children, and parents to us." She said.My heart broke at them kneeling."Please stand." The King said and they all stood. "You only did what you needed to do to protect your family, I would have done the same if I was in that situation, as I am sure any of us would have. Was there anyone who we release who has lost their mates?""Yes my King." Said a man who came forward. "I hope you will allow me to stay, My mate was with pup, I can't face retaining to the home we lived in."I stepped forward, tears in my eyes, and lay a h
Kari's POVWe met with my grandparents in a little room by the ballroom. They smiled as we entered, my Grandmother pulled me into her arms and hugged me to her."I knew that dress would suit you perfectly." She said."Thank you, Nanna," I whispered back. "I love it.""You look like the Princess you are." She said holding me at arm's length so she could see me properly."That necklace is stunning.""It was a gift from Grant," I tell her. "It is a replica of the heart...""Of the Ocean." She smiled. "One of my favorite films. I knew the Strauss family and a few others who traveled on her, so it is a film close to my heart.""Huh?" I asked."We live a little longer than humans." My Grandfather said coming and kissing my cheek. "I am 97, but your Grandmother is 119."My mouth dropped. He didn't look that old. truth be told he didn't look old enough to be my Grandfather."One of the elders on the council is nearly 300," Grant said with a smile."We should so throw him a party," I said makin
Grant's POVI was standing with The Alpha and Luna of the Italian pack, as well as their Beta, and my mate when I saw someone walk in who was not dressed for a ball. There was something not quite right about this man. I kept my attention on him as I spoke with the others. Suddenly I saw his hand come out of his pocket with a little device, I knew exactly what it was, as I pulled Kari behind me to protect her and shouted. "BOMB!" just as the man pressed the button and I felt myself lifted from the ground and thrown with force from the explosion. I lay there, my ears ringing. before groaning as I sat up. I looked around me to find Kari lying on her front not moving. I panicked and ignored the pain as I went to her. I shook her shoulders but got no response. I felt for her pulse, it was there but faint. I looked around the room to see the King helping his mate up from the floor. Their son lay next to them and I could see the pain in their eyes as the Queen broke down. His head was at an
Kari's POV'Hela, what the actual hell?' I asked my wolf. 'Sextuplets! I can barely look after myself, and I only have two breasts!''I'm sorry, it's from when I and Zeus mated." She sniggered. 'We are wolves, we have litters.''I am human, we have normal births.' I retorted."There are three sacks." The doctor was saying as I argued with my wolf."Three sacks?""Yes, this one here, has three in it, this one has twins, and this one is a single." He told us."Can you tell us the sex of them?" Grant asked."Not, yet, but being a Royal wolf, the pups will come in four months not five like normal Alpha pups, so they will grow fast." He explained and I felt the color drain from my face. No wonder the dress Nanna brought felt snug. "I will see you in a week for a check-up, and every week thereafter. Being as it's multiple births and more than most, I would like to keep an extra eye on you.""Of course Doctor." I heard Grant say. I was lost in my own little world, I have about four months un
Grant's POVWe left the women to talk babies and nurseries and all went to the King's office. I sat between my two Betas and my two Gammas. There was also the other Regional Alpha's, bar one, which had been run by the Prince before he died. Andres and Henri joined us as well. at the other end of the table sat the eight members who made up the Council of Elders. They all nodded to me as I sat down."And where is the Princess? Is she not good enough to join us?" Lady Calister asked."My Granddaughter is resting Calister." The King said."Well, so should we all be, we were all in the hall when the explosion happened.""My Luna is with pup." I said. "And because of the explosion, she is on bed rest and light duties until we know the pups are ok.""Are you sure she is little Laire's girl? What proof do you have?"'Don't like her.' Zeus growled in my head."She has proved herself as a member of the Royal family. Her wolf has the mark, the eye color, and a fur color." Elder Henry said."And
KAri's POVI'd had a lovely relaxing morning discussing the pups with my family when Hela had been insistent on coming to the meeting. I would have preferred to have stayed looking at cots but she wouldn't sit still. I wish I had listened to my intuition as I sat in the back of my head as I watched Kari growling at my Great Aunt, her nose pressed up to the petrified woman. I tried to take back control, but she was angry. I could see Grant trying to calm us down, as well as feel Carl's calming aura. My Grandfather, I noticed just stood there, arms crossed over his chest, trying to hide the smirk on his face. Suddenly a loud obnoxious laugh starts from the side, taking Hela's attention from her prey to see Alpha Clarence, Calister's husband, laughing so hard, tears were streaming down his face. He wiped his face as his mate glared at him, Hela just sat back on the table and huffed. I could feel her confusion."It's about time someone stood up to you." He muttered through his bouts of la
