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
A week ago, if you had told me that the world as I knew it was all a lie, that all of the fairy tales that my father used to tell me at bed time were actually not fairy tales and that all these supernatural beings, such as vampires, shapeshifters, fairies and dragons, were actually real, I would have laughed at you until I had peed myself and then called the men in white coats to come and get you. Now, a week later, as I am in the middle of a forest standing by the most beautiful lake I have ever seen, surrounded by wolves in various sizes and colours, and a number of very large, very muscular and very, very naked men, I am starting to think that maybe it is I, who is in need of the straight jacket and padded room and a hell of a lot of medication and sedatives as i am pretty certain i have completely lost the use of all my faculties and you are soon going to find me sat in a corner, rocking back and forth and talking to myself as none of this is making any sense to my primitive brain
Kari's POV"Kari, do you have a moment?" Came the lyrical voice of my boss and best friend. I looked up from my computer screen and looked at her over the top of my glasses. Doctor Chloe Burbridge was a short brunette with chocolate brown eyes and a plump figure, her long, brunette hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, highlighting her freckled face. She was presently leaning against the frame of the door to my office. I smiled at her and motioned for her to come in and sit down. She flounces down onto the chair on the other side of the desk and puts her black Manolo Blahnik pumps on to my nice pristine desk. Her tablet is sitting on her lap. I lean over my desk and push her feet off it. She grins at me. Sadistic Bitch that she is. One thing I have picked up over the years is a slight case of OCD, and Chloe loves to make me itch with it. Secretly, I don't mind it too much, as I know it's her way of pushing me to help me get my mind straight."What do you want, boss?" I asked, lin
Kari's POVMy plane finally landed in Oslo, and I waited for everyone else to stand before I got up and got my laptop bag and lab kit out of the overhead lockers and made my way off. It had been a long morning, and I was already exhausted. I would be glad to get back to where I was staying and get some sleep. I didn't even get a chance to go on my morning run today, so I feel out of sorts from that as well. After collecting my bag and making my way out, I popped into a shop and picked up a couple of bars of my favorite Norwegian chocolate and some of those sour sweets they do, as well as a bottle of water. I paid for the items and then made my way out of the shop and towards the exit area. I stopped and scanned around to see if I could work out who it was I was supposed to be meeting as Ismoothed the black suit skirt I wore with my sweaty hands. My pale lilac dress shirt was no doubt creased at the back, but there was little I could do about that, and my suit jacket and coat were hun
Kari's POV“Pappa?” Were the first words that came out of my mouth when I walked into the house and saw the man stood in front of me. I shook my head, because that was impossible. He didn’t look a day older than the day he left. “I’m sorry. I don’t know where that came from. The man chuckled and held his hand out to me, I took it and shook it.“Doctor Larson, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.” He said, his voice smooth, he even sounded like what I remembered of my father. “Did I remind you of someone?”“Please call me Kari, and yes, sorry but that would be impossible.” I responded with a wary smile.“Kari, my name is Henrik Pederson. I am the CEO of Nordic Research.” He said. He waved his arm at the pregnant woman stood next to him, “And this is my wife Ingrid.”“It is a pleasure to meet you both, thank you for the chance to work with you, I looked into your company on my way here, you have a good research background.” I responded.“Why don’t you come in, I will make some tea and w
Kari's POVThe two women came into the room and shut the door behind them. They smiled at me. I was still so shocked by everything that was going on that I was numb. My emotions seemed to be none-existent. I really need to call Clo and speak with her."Kari?" Ingrid said lightly they approached the bed, taking me out of my thoughts."Yes, sorry." I said, shaking my head, trying to clear it."This is my mother-in-law, Olivia." Ingrid said with a smile introducing the other woman."It is nice to meet you, but I should really be getting back. I need to get some sleep so I can get this research started and get myself home." I said, trying to stand up, but I became dizzy and ended up sitting on the edge of the bed."You have had one hell of an ordeal, you need to rest, my sweet child." Came the other woman's voice, it was musical tone that soothed and I found myself relaxing. "This must be so confusing for you."They both helped me get back into bed. "I don't understand what was going on.
Kari's POV"I will speak to my father about it." Henrik said to the man. I was intrigued, and i felt Hela perk up in my head as well, but it wasn't my place. "Thank you for bringing it to me."Henrik led me into the elevator and we traveled up to the sixth floor. When the doors opened, he led me into a large sitting room. It was decorated in light airy colors and the windows faced out over the forest. Large white fabric sofas were placed around an open fireplace and a wide screen TV was attached to the wall above it. A chandelier hung from the ceiling in the centre. The room was beautiful. Henrik led me down a couple of steps and sat me down on the settee. It was stunning."This is Gloria, she is one of our Omega's." He said, pointing out a young girl with brunette hair that had streaks of green in it. She smiled sweetly at me and bowed her head. "Gloria, this is my sister Kari. She may not yet be apart of the pack, but she will be afforded the same respect as any of the Alpha family.
Kari's POVI spent the afternoon walking around what I was told was called the packhouse. I was amazed at the number of people who lived here, it was like a hotel. The place was stunning and Henrik wasn't lying, everyone was well looked after. Ingrid introduced me to Heather's nanny, who followed us to try and keep Heather where she was supposed to be. Which wasn't an easy task by any means. I was introduced to the Head omegas, Birget and Soren, who both bared their necks to me when they were told I was the Alpha's long lost sister. That was definitely something I was going to have to get used to. They were both such lovely people and they told Ingrid that I would be treated with the same respect that the rest of the Alpha family were given and if not, the offenders would be reported straight to either the Alpha, the Beta or the head warrior, who i found out was Josiah, who had been trailing behind us the whole time. I was also introduced to Josh, who was the Gamma, and who was prett

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
