Rains' P.O.V.

I hear Jess gasp loudly, and I don't need to open my eyes to know that she's feeling the warmth of my mothers' magic covering her for the first time. When I feel that familiar warmth covering my body, I smile at the sensation. The front door opens, and I hear Zion call out, asking if I'm ready. I tell him we'll be out in a few minutes, and my mom says she's finished, and we can open our eyes. When we open our eyes, we both smile. My mom and Odett are standing between us in matching silver and black dresses, a perfect mix between Jess's silver dress and my black dress.

"Absolutely stunning," I say as I look at the for of us in the mirrors. Jess nods in agreement as she smiles. I look at the clock in the corner of the room before turning to face the ladies. "Are we all ready?"

"I think so," Jess says with a laugh as she twirls around in the mirror, clearly happy with her dress, making me giggle.

We open the door and wal

    Zions' P.O.V. As we walk through the crowd in the throne room, I pick up on Rain's nervousness. I squeeze her hand gently to reassure her that everything will be fine. "There are so many people in the Throne Room!" She links me. "It's okay, my love. Unfortunately, it's tradition to have leaders and Alphas from all over attend the Crowning Ceremony of a new royal. Try to keep your eyes forward and your chin up. And remember, we are all by your side, No matter what!" I link back, and she takes a deep, steadying breath. When we reach the bottom of the stairs, I put my hand on the small of her back to help support her, and we start making our way up. After making it to the top of the stairs, She finally notices the second and slightly smaller throne, placed next to mine. "Do you like it?" I whisper in her ear. "It's perfect," She answers in complete disbelief. She smiles up at me, and I give her a cocky smile, proud of myself for making the

    Rains' P.O.V. After I open the door to let the doctor into our suite, Zion leads us to his office, where he walks us around to his chair. He sits down and pulls me onto his lap as the doctor takes a seat in the chair across the desk from us. He congratulates me, making me realize I'm still wearing my crown. "Am I supposed to wear this all the time?" I ask Zion, making him laugh. "Only for formal events, my love," He says as he removes the crown from my head. "Oh, thank the Goddess. It's beautiful but so heavy." I say with a giggle. He smiles at me before turning to face the doctor. "So, Doctor, what seems to be the problem with my mate?" He asks Doctor Jameson. I squeeze Zions' hand as I place my other hand on my stomach, feeling nauseous again. The doctor looks tense but isn't giving anything away. I guess his calmness helps him be such a good doctor, but it's not helping me relax at the moment. "Well, after checking and rechecking

  • The Orphaned Queen   Holy Hell

    Zions' P.O.V. After Rain announced our pregnancy to our crew by saying it was morning sickness, the ladies got it automatically, while the guys were confused. Ryker thought their confusion was hysterical. I plainly explained that we were pregnant to the guys, and they finally got it. Unfortunately, we hadn't thought about how Odett would feel about it. "What's wrong, sweetie?" I ask her as I pick her up, and we sit on the couch. "Does this mean you'll send me back to the orphanage now that y'all have your own baby?" She says, almost whispering. I feel like an absolute failure for not thinking about how she would feel and quickly think of what to say to make her understand that she's ours. "No! You are our child. The new pup won't change that you are part of our family. We're just giving you a sibling." I try to explain. "You were the one who made me a mother and Zion, a father, regardless of whether you are our biological child or n

  • The Orphaned Queen   The Announcement

    Rains' P.O.V. After the Doctor explains that we're expecting twins, he points out the two beans on the screen. He tells us he can give us pictures of the sonogram and a CD containing a video of the sonogram with the audio of the heartbeats. I chose to get both, thinking it would be a cute idea to announce our pregnancy by putting it on the projector we will use to play Shrek for our movie night. Doctor Jameson says he will be back with both in a minute before walking out the door, leaving Zion and me in the room alone. He helps me sit up on the edge of the hospital bed, and I smile at him. "I think we should make the announcement tonight," I say, making him smile. "How would you like to do it?" He asks. "I was thinking we use the projector. We can play the CD before the movie." I say. "Maybe we should play it after the movie so we don't have people interrupting us during the movie." He tells me."I agree. That sounds like a good id

  • The Orphaned Queen   An Emotional Morning

    Zions' P.O.V. After our announcement, people surrounded us, offering their congratulations and expressing their happiness for us. In the middle of thanking everyone, I look over, noticing Rain has become quiet and looks worried. I smile and finish thanking everyone on her behalf until everyone starts to dissipate. "Are you okay, my love?" I ask Rain. "Yes, Dosha has been asleep since the buffet, and I'm worried about her. She says she was tired." She answers, and I begin to worry. "Do we need to call the Doctor?" I ask. "I'm not in any pain, so I think it'll be okay to wait until the morning to call him," She says, and I nod in understanding. "In that case, I think it's time for bed," I say, pointing at Jessica, now holding a sleeping Odett in her arms. "I guess all the excitement has finally gotten to her." "I know how she feels." She says. I smile, lifting her in my arms, making her giggle, and carry her to our suite as she

    Rains' P.O.V. After my small emotional breakdown and Stephanie's arrival to get Odett for their busy day, we discovered my new hybrid ability to hear better than others when I heard Stephanie at our door before she knocked. Orian suggests that I start writing them down, and I have to admit that it's probably a good idea because it's starting to get slightly overwhelming with all the changes that have been happening in my life in such a short time. Stephanie and Odett walk into the living room, dressed and ready for their busy day. "Hey, sweetie. Are you excited for your day with Stephanie?" Zion asks her as he picks her up. "Yes, sir. Ms.Stephanie said we're going to the park." She says, full of excitement. "Make sure you stay with her and listen to everything she tells you, okay?" I say before we give her a kiss. I then turn to Stephanie. "Evan will be waiting downstairs for y'all." "I will, Mamma." She says after Zion p

    Zions' P.O.V. As Rain and Jessica look around her new office, I link Ms.Blanch, asking her to get someone to bring their planning folders and any more papers they may need to her office. She says she will get one of the new assistants that Jessica and Rain hired to bring everything over for me. I close the link after thanking her and then turn my attention to my mate and her sister. "Ms.Blanch will have one of the new assistants bring the planning folders and everything needed to finalize the plans. They should be here soon." I tell her. "That's great. Thank you." She says with a smile, walking around her desk and sitting down in her new chair. "You look comfortable," I say with a laugh. "Well, what did you expect? You did an amazing job with everything." She replies with a giggle. "Thank you for the high praise, my Queen," I say. "We'll let y'all get settled in while Orian and I get some work done in my office. We'll come to get y'a

    Rains' P.O.V. After Zion and Orian leave my new office, Jess and I sit around talking and looking around while we wait for the folders to finish the plans for the orphanage to arrive. Ten minutes later, Amiliea, the new assistant Jess hired to help Ms.Blanch around the orphanage, knocked on the door. Jess lets her in, and she greets us with a smile. I ask her how everything is going in her new position. "It's great. The kids are all so adorable and so much fun to be around. I've even decided to adopt one of the teens." She says with a huge grin. "That's great!" Jess and I say in unison, overjoyed by her news. "Tell us about them," Jess says. "Her name is Isha. She's fifteen and full of life." Amiliea says with excitement. "Do you need any help with anything for the new addition to your family?" I ask her. "No, but thank you for asking, my Queen. My mate and I have everything almost set up. We haven't told Isha about the adoption yet

  • The Orphaned Queen   How It Ends

    Rain's P.O.V. Opening my eyes, I look around to find someone has laid me down in our bed next to Zion. He's covered in bruises and has bandages wrapped around his chest and down his left arm. I try to reach over, but I realize my body is sore and stiff, and I can barely move. "Oh, thank Goddess, you're awake." Jess gasps, walking through the door. "How are the pups?" I ask the first thing that crosses my mind. "All three are safe and sleeping. Lady Ezmerelda is in the nursery with the twins, and Odett fell asleep watching a movie with Sam in the living room." She answered while walking over to my side of the bed. "Is Douglas dead?" I ask, slowly starting to remember everything that happened. "You leveled everything in the area. Orian found you unconscious, covered in blood, but he didn't think it was yours. He said it smelled like Douglas and his minions. You didn't even have a scratch on you." She said with a smile, helping me to sit up. "How is everyone?" I ask

  • The Orphaned Queen   Retribution

    Rain's P.O.V. After recovering from whatever hit me, I turned to see a female who looked so much like Lady Lena that it threw me off. Zion is just as surprised as I am, his face mirroring my surprised expression. Then I realized that the restraints that held Douglas in place were released, letting him recover and stand beside the lookalike as a group of his rogue army stood behind them. "Who the hell are you, and why do you look eerily similar to a dead woman?" Zion asks after he shifts back to his human form and takes his place beside me. "You must be talking about my twin. That foolish bitch refused to leave that weak coven and decided to go against me. She got what was coming to her." She said with a cackel. "I even offered to take her with me after I kidnapped you, but she refused and even tried to fight me. She might have been our parent's favorite, but she was weak, always letting everyone fight her battles for her." "You're

  • The Orphaned Queen   Unknown Woman

    Zion's P.O.V. After Rain's speech, Mia suggested opening gifts, so Jessica and I helped her up and started walking towards the chair designed like her throne where all the gifts were. Midway through the walk, Rain started feeling some pain and leaned over on me. When I asked if she was okay, she said she was. I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, but I decided to ignore it and keep walking. Unfortunately, she doubled over before we could reach the chair, grabbing her side. I quickly picked her up and noticed liquid running down between her legs as Odett called for her in a panic. I yell for Doctor Jameson, knowing he's here somewhere. He tells me to get her to the suite when he reaches us, but I know he wants her in the makeshift delivery room. I rush through the crowd in a panic, thankful that they made a path for us, and up the stairs to our suite where I lay her down on the bed, only now noticing that our friends followed. Do

  • The Orphaned Queen   Chaotic Birth

    Rain's P.O.V. I stood quietly in the peaceful darkness that I'd become accustomed to and waited patiently, thankfully not feeling any pain. I didn't have to wait long as soon the brilliant silver light erupted, and Dosha and Selene emerged as the light dimmed, and I could feel their warmth radiating off of them. But soon, I notice the grim look on her face, and the peacefulness I had felt melts and gives way to caution. "Hello, my dear daughter," Selene says. "I have come to bring you a warning." "A warning about what?" I ask, my stomach in knots as panic sets in. My first thought is that something is wrong with the twins. "The twins will be fine, do not worry, my dear. I will watch over them as I did with Odett. I came with a warning about Douglas." She says, and my heart stops for a moment. "He knows that you are about to give birth and thinks that you will be in a vulnerable state. He is planning to make his move now." "S

  • The Orphaned Queen   The Celebration Of Resurrections

    Rain's P.O.V. When Zion opened the double doors to the Banquet Hall, I was shocked, to say the least. Everyone was talking, speculating what this gathering was all about, and then complete silence followed by gasps as everyone's gaze met Zion and me as the doors opened. I place my hand on my belly as Zion leads us into the crowded room. Everyone now has faces of relief and tears of joy streaming down their faces as they bow while we make our way past them and to a table set up for us. I feel an overwhelming sense of love and confusion pouring off of everyone in the room. As we reached our table, we were joined by the others in our group, including Morgan, Mia, and Nick, as well as King Arnald and Beta Mark. Zion pulls out a chair for me and helps me lower myself into it before he addresses the crowd. He goes into detail about the reasons for my disappearance while also apologizing to everyone for keeping them in the dark about the

  • The Orphaned Queen   The Traitor

    Zion's P.O.V. I woke up this morning and felt something different in the air like something would happen soon, but I wasn't sure what that would be. I asked Ryker about it, but he wasn't sure either. Orian linked me to let me know that everything was ready and that everyone would start showing up in about an hour or so, but that he needed to see me in my office for an important matter. I told him that I would be down soon and quickly linked Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda to ask them to help get Rain ready while I went to handle a few things before the shower and celebrations began. As soon as I told Rain that we needed to get moving and that her sister and mother would be helping her get dressed, she started getting emotional, which I know is from the hormones. Thankfully, I saved myself by explaining that she wasn't fat, just very pregnant. That worked, and just in time, since Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda arrived the next second,

  • The Orphaned Queen   More Secrets

    Rain's P.O.V. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep, but opening my eyes, I'm surrounded by nothing but black, and I know exactly what's going on. I found the light silver glow and walked towards it before hearing the comforting voice of the moon goddess, Selene. I can't help but smile as she comes into view before panic starts, knowing that we only have a meeting like this when something terrible has happened or will happen. "Hello, daughter. I'm glad to see you in such good spirits," Selene said with a smile of her own as she reassured me. This is a good meeting. There's no need to panic. I've come to inform you of my plans for Odett's future." "What do you mean? Won't she be the next Werewolf Queen?" I ask her, my voice thick with confusion and fear. Was she planning to take Odett away from me and Zion? I don't want to lose her, but I know that Selene will always make the best decisions, and there's nothing I can do or

    Zion's P.O.V. After Luna Morgan, Mia, and Nick's arrival, I quickly linked with Orian to suggest we give them time to catch up with each other. I say that, but in reality, I wanted to save myself and the others from the headache their squeals would cause. Don't get me wrong, I love the excitement in my mate's voice, but there are too many females in this suite at the moment. Orian agrees but thinks we should take Nick with us. "Do we have to?" I ask. "Yes, remember he was the one that drove them here. I imagine he's heard enough and needs a break." He responds with a laugh. "Fine," I tell him with a huff before turning my attention to my mate. "Well, ladies, King Arnald, Beta Mark, Orian, Sam, Nick, and I will leave y'all to the planning." We left the suite and made our way to my office on the first floor. Once in my office, I offer everyone a drink, and they accept. Orian pours everyone a glass and hands them out as we s

    Rain's P.O.V. After returning to our suite, we all sat around and ate lunch while conversing about different things. I noticed Zion and Orian suddenly got quiet, and when I looked over, I could tell they were talking through the link. I automatically got nervous, thinking something had happened, but then I heard someone approaching the door before there was a knock. When no one moves, and Zion helps me up from the couch, asking me to get the door, I grow suspicious but still make my way to the door anyway. I notice no one is talking, but I know Zion wouldn't be put in harm's way. As I open the door, I'm hit with Mia and Morgans's excitement and their high-pitched squeals, and I can't help but let out my own squeal. "What are y'all doing here?" I ask them in disbelief. "We're here for your baby shower," Mia says while looking over my shoulder at everyone. "What baby shower?" I asked, whirling around to look at Zion. "Ask Jess
