King Alexanders POV.I was seated in my office discussing today's events with my council of elders. All had taken an instant liking to Kari, and she had done the same in return. Hela is happy with all of them. Hamish stood behind me, I still needed to work out what bothered Hela about him."I must admit, I am relieved she did that." Elder James snorted. "Didn't like the man, and who are we to go against the Moon Goddess?""We will need to be cautious about this, there will be a backlash, Elder Edward said."Let them come," I said. "She did what we all wanted to do. He had no right to demand that she show him her wolf.""Have you seen her wolf?" Elder Emily asked. She was one of two women on the council of elders and she was a timid woman, but you didn't cross her."I have, and she is beautiful. She almost looks silver in the moonlight." I told her. "She has our crest in the correct spot as well.""We don't doubt for a moment she is yours," Elder Toby said. "Hela is definitely a Royal
Hela's POVI checked on my human. She would get used to this one day, but not today. I couldn't do that to her twice in one day, and this one would be a hell of a lot worse than that stupid Alpha this morning. He deserved what he got. I felt my mate take my hand and I turned to see Zeus. I purred at him and he chuckled darkly. Once this was over, we would be going for a run. Just the two of us, I needed my mate. Kari had hers, it was my turn."Behave back there, now is not the time." I heard Reuben say as we drove up to the pack house. The sight before me filled me with rage. a pile of dead bodies lay on the ground and four more were on their knees waiting to lose their heads. I saw my father in law sat with his disgusting daughter overseeing the slaughter. Before the car had even stopped I opened the door and I was out of the car. I raised my hand and vines shot out and wrapped around the four warriors about to cut the heads off four Omega's. I walked forward, my eyes glowing purple,
Hela's POVWe returned with our captures to the front of the pack house and saw a line of warriors bound up and kneeling with the King. The witches were still in my roots and would stay there until they were in a cell back at the palace. I had found a key to the silver cuffs in Thomas's trousers and released Sinead who fell into her son's arms and hugged him. He had supported her all the way back as warriors carried Thomas and Julia and i pushed Shelby along in front of me. She now had the silver handcuffs."Didn't you need to shift at all?" My Grandfather asked. He was standing wearing a pair of shorts. Carlton threw a pair at Grant."Another little gift of hers." Grant chuckled. The King frowned. "She doesn't need to undress to shift.""Why does that not surprise me," Carlton said with a snort. The pile of dead was being carried to a pyre so that we could send them off properly. I sighed. This was where I came in as the protector of the dead. These Omega's would be sent straight to
Kari's POV.I yawned and woke up. The bed I was in was comfortable and I was surrounded by my mate's scent. I kept my eyes closed and smiled. It was the best sleep I had been in a while, felt like I had slept for over 24 hours. I opened my eyes and looked up at an unfamiliar white ceiling and frowned. I sat up hearing Grant moan next to me. He yawned and woke up before smiling up at me."Where are we?" I asked him."The Alpha suite at my pack." He said, looking at his watch. It was still light out but I knew it was the evening."When...What?" I stuttered. 'Hela.?''I am sorry my human, I had to put you into hibernation. We were about to go to war with his father, and I knew I would need to kill people, you weren't ready for that.'"I guess Hela has explained," Grant asked with a soft, but sleepy smile."A little, what happened?""My father went a bit mad, took over, and was killing Omega." He said. "We have a lot of warriors along with my father, his Beta, and my sister and Julie in t
Grant's POVOnce everyone had arrived for dinner and had calmed down, the Omega's started to serve the food, I notice Kari go a little white at the food in front of her."You OK?""Uh..Yes." She muttered."Kari?" I whispered. "What is it?""It's nothing honest, just feeling a little light-headed." She said. I frowned as she picked up her knife and fork. I stood and cleared my throat to get the attention of the room, opening the mind link to all the pack members who weren't there."Good Evening all. I have a few things to tell you before we start Dinner. I said both out loud and through the mind link. First of all, I would like to announce that I have found my mate." There were cheers of excitement and I put my hand out for Kari, She took it and I helped her stand. She smiled up at me. "I would like to introduce you to Kari Larson, The First Princess of the werewolf Kingdom."There were gasps throughout the room. I saw the King beaming at me for claiming his Granddaughter and mine. "Th
Grant's POV.I took her out and lay her on the Sofa in the common room. She groaned and put a hand to her head."These powers are taking their toll on you my little moon," I said as she opened her eyes. I saw the King come in but he didn't say anything."Ugh." She groaned. "First time I've done that, it took a lot of energy.""Done what little one?" The King asked he had obviously missed when she healed Marissa"Healed Marissa." He looked at her confused."When she was talking to the Omega about her mate, I noticed her clutching her side. let Kari know through the mind link, she took her off and healed her." I said"She had four claw marks down her side, the warriors did it to show her mate they were serious about killing her if he didn't fight against you all," Kari told him. "Hela told me to lay my hand on it and my hand went gold and it healed. But it took a lot out of me.""Hang on," I said as something occurred to me. I had missed what she had said earlier as was concentrating on
Warning, Mature ContentKari's POVI woke up the next morning, with my head on a very solid pillow. My hair was splayed all around my head. I yawned loudly and sat up."Good Morning my Little Moon." Rumbled the pillow under my head."Mmm. stop talking pillow," I said yawning again, Grant chuckled, making my head shake from the vibration through his chest."We need to get up my sweet one, we travel home today." He said before I felt him kiss the top of my head and rub his hand up and down my arm."Five more minutes," I grumbled. "I'm comfy and warm."I felt him move slightly and pull me so I was fully on top of him, his morning wood digging into my leg, and he wrapped his arms around me tighter."I was going to speak with your Grandfather," Grant said."Oh? About what?" I said yawning again."I think you need a break before all the shit starts." He said. "I thought before we took on our new positions, we could have a few days' holidays so we can relax, Hela and Zeus can get to know one
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
Kari's POV 350 Years later. I watched over my brood as the Ceremony for my Great Great Great Grandchild and his new mate was completed. They would be taking over the Kingdom from their Mother and Father soon. It was time. It was time for me to move on to my next task. I have had an enjoyable life, but having lost all those close to me other than my children, I was ready to leave the Earth, and the Moon Goddess was ready for me as well. I felt a gaze on me and saw my eldest looking at me from where I stood on the balcony over the ballroom. He had a look like he knew something was a miss. I smiled at him. My Grand parents had both passed away when I was 150. They had both decided it was time for them to join my mother, and I knew they were happy to be there with them all. My father and my mama passion on when i was 300. and over the next hundred years i slowly lost my siblings, and finally Grant left me not more than a year ago, loosing your mate is horrendous, and it took the support
Kari's POvThe pups were all in bed, although it had taken us ages to get them to sleep, as they were all excited about the fact it was their birthday tomorrow and all their friends and our families would be here to celebrate with them. When they had finally gone to sleep, we left them under the care of Olga, their Nanny, and went down to the ballroom which had been transformed. The room had been split into six, with each of their favourite things decorating the area. Matthew was a fan of all things stars and space, so the wall was covered in glow-in-the-dark stars, and hanging from the ceiling were the planets, the sun and the moon surrounded by strings of lights with stars hanging from them. Julian loved the zoo, so his area had been decorated like a safari where there were cuddly toys of wild animals all over the area and a little petting zoo in the corner where in the morning there would be a number of different pets for the children to hold. We also had someone from the zoo was jo
Kari's POVTwo Years LaterToday was the day I had fought with my Grandfather over this, telling him I was nowhere near ready to take over from him, but he was adamant. He was standing down and I would be taking over. To think, four years ago I had no idea that a supernatural world existed. Now I was about to become the Queen of the Werewolf Kingdom.I stared at the ceiling as I lay in my bed, my husband and mate snoring peacefully beside me, his arm lay across my stomach. I heard him snort and felt him lift his head."Little moon?" He asked sleepily. I turned my head and smiled at him. He yawned and looked at his watch. "Have you slept at all?""No," I sighed."You are going to make one hell of a Queen, my love." He said, not losing eye contact with me. I let out a long breath. "You have a good team behind you."We had decided to take on our own teams, although we would all work together. He would keep Reuben and Magnus and the King's Beta's and Claire and Chloe would be known as the
Grant's POVI held out a hand for Kari to take so I could help her out of the carriage. We had arrived back outside of the palace and were about to return to our guests for our reception. We had spent half an hour touring the town, thousands of wolves had come out to celebrate our wedding and see us as we passed through. I couldn't believe the support we had. I also couldn't believe how my life had turned out. I was now the Alpha of a region of the werewolf Kingdom, and I was the next King. I had never been power hungry like most Alpha's, much to my father's disappointment. I loved my pack and the idea of being the Alpha was close to my heart and I had always wanted to do my best job and protect my pack and be the Alpha they needed. I never in my wildest dreams expected I would one day be running the whole werewolf kingdom. The thing I least expected was that this amazing, beautiful woman would be my mate. The Moon Goddess had sent me a literal Goddess and I owed her my life.As she t
Kari's POV I had a sudden feeling that I was being watched. Opening my eyes, my eyes locked instantly with a pair of bright blue ones, a giggle escaped the owner of those eyes. "Good morning Heather." I smiled at the little munchkin. "Heather." Came Ingrid's voice. "Aunty Kari needs her sleep." "It's OK Ingrid, I'm awake." I chuckled, pulling the little girl into a tight hug, and making her giggle. I tickled her to extract her hysterical laughter. Ingrid smiled at me. "Are you all ready for today?" Ingrid asked as she sat on the bed. "Huh?" I asked, my sleep-addled brain not catching up. Kari snickered in my head. "You're getting married." I looked at her a moment before what she said sunk in. "Oh sugar," I muttered. "How did I forget that? What time is it?" "It's six thirty." Ingrid chuckled. "You have plenty of time. I was going to let you sleep for a few more hours, but apparently, my daughter had other ideas." "It was a lovely way to be woken up. I have missed my little m
Three months Later.Kari's POVI sat on the rocking chair in the nursery feeding our twin daughters, Astra Eliza and Carita Merida. Claire and Chloe were sitting in the other two with their own pups. Claire and Reuben had their little heir, Maximus. He was four weeks older than my twins and Chloe and Magnus had a little girl called Eevi. I was so glad we had all had our pups at the same time, they would be able to grow up together. Joshua was sitting at my feet whilst my other five pups ran around causing havoc, their nannies trying to settle them. Joshua was still my little shadow, but I loved how attached he was to me. He flipped through the book he had in his hands, but I didn't have the heart to tell my youngest boy that it was upside down."Last day before the wedding," Chloe spoke up. I looked from where my girls were greedily attached to a breast each to see Chloe burping Eevi."I'd say it was your last day of being a free woman, but that happened the day he first marked you."
Grant's POV I walked with my mate outside to where the competition was being held on the training grounds. We were directed into a tent where her grandparents stood. Queen Merida smiled as we entered and came over to us. There was an Omega behind her wearing the Royal Colours and holding a cushion with a silver Tiara with emeralds dotted over it. I looked at my Princess and chuckled. Her Grandmother knew her very well. 'What are you chuckling at?' Kari asked over mindlink. 'You forgot something...Again.' She looked at me and frowned as Merida arrived next to us. "She is becoming quite predictable, I see Queen Merida." I said, nodding to the Tiara. Merida grinned. "Oh Damn it." Kari muttered beside me. "I am so not used to wearing one. Merida laughed as she placed the Tiara on her granddaughter's head. "You will get used to it in time, my child, it is all still quite new to you." "Your Grandmother was just the same as you when I found her." The King said, kissing his mate on the
Kari's POV "Are you sure about this?" Shelby asked. I looked at her from my closet where I was looking for a dress for her, she was standing looking at her shoes and wringing her hands together. "About what?" I asked her. "Me sitting with you all in the Royal box? I am not Royalty." She murmured. "Shelby, you have proved to us that you are doing better. Remember, you can't lie to me and Grant, our wolves can pick up on a lie. Everything you told us is the truth. We really are proud of you." I told her, handing her a deep green dress that had ruffled sleeves and a squared top to it. "Here, try this on." She took the dress. "It is stunning." She said, taking it into the bathroom to try on. 'Mary-beth?' I mind-linked the head Omega for the Palace. 'Luna Princess, is everything OK?' She asked nervously. 'Oh yes, everything is fine, don't worry. I was just wondering where young Florence was.' I asked her. 'Do you need her today?' 'She is just finishing up the guest rooms with Julia
Grant's POVToday was the festival, today 100 warriors would be chosen from over 2000 who had entered to become part of Kari's Royal Guard. The final man standing would become the head of the of the Princess's guard, as long as he or she passes the loyalty test that Zeus will give them, I yawned and turned to find a mass of blonde hair spread out over the pillow, he soft white skin of her back showed slightly between where her hair ended and the sheet started. Smiling I moved her hair out of the way so I could watch her beautiful face whilst she slept. She was gorgeous, I can't believe she was nearly taken from me, the loss of the bond had been heartbreaking, until we had mated again, it felt like a big part of my heart was missing. I felt someone pushing on the mindlink and let them in.'Alpha?' Came my sisters voice.'Shelby.' I responded.'Can I speak to you?' She asked. She had fought when her punishment had first been given to her, but both she and Julia had started to cakm down
