Kennedy

I watch as my mother prepares the woman on the bed in front of her. Sometimes I get to be in the room, helping by giving her the tools that she needs to complete her surgeries, or stitching up our pack members after she's done. But since today is my eighteenth birthday, she told me I could assist. It didn’t hurt that I told her that it was the only thing that I wanted for my birthday.

“When you do a Cesarean section, you have to be careful where and how you cut. You don’t want to cut too deep and risk injuring the pup and you don’t want to cut too high on the mother’s stomach because you could cut the pup,” she says, pointing to the area where she wants me to cut.

Thankfully, it’s Anna who is having a baby today. It’s her fourth pup with her mate, Bennett, their oopsie baby thirteen years after the birth of their third pup. It’s why my mother suggested that she have the C-section rather than try to deliver naturally. It’s also why I’m allowed to assist. I’ve grown up around Anna and all of the nurses and doctors in the hospital. I’ve spent every possible minute of my life in this hospital. I love the medical world, love the idea of becoming a doctor just like my mother. While the others in my family were sparring and training to become strong warriors, I was here, learning everything I possibly could about medicine, anatomy, and being a surgeon.

Thankfully, when my mother told Anna that assisting in a surgery was the only thing I wanted for my birthday, she offered to schedule her C-section today. I was a little surprised, but since I’ve stitched up her pups before, and I’ve worked so closely with Anna, she agreed. My mother had me practice cutting on a medical dummy that she and Beta Noelle use in the hospital teaching rooms. I sliced that poor mannequin nearly to pieces I’ve practiced so many times.

I take a breath and look up at Anna. Her mate is holding her hand and murmuring to her.

“Focus, Kennedy,” my mother says patiently.

Anna’s eyes flash to me and she winks. “You’ve got this, Kennedy.”

I nod and turn back to her stomach, putting the edge of the scalpel against her stomach where my mother is pointing and, using the pressure that I’ve practiced so many times, I make the incision.

“Very good, Kennedy. Just a little further. Perfect,” she says, and I pull the scalpel away, smiling hugely as I step back to let my mother do the rest. A few minutes later, she’s carefully pulling the baby from Anna’s uterus and laying her on Anna’s chest.

“Congratulations, on your baby boy,” she says to them.

I know that Bennett is thrilled to be having a boy. Their first three children were girls. I ready myself to assist my mother with closing up Anna’s stomach when she turns to me.

“Your father and brother are asking about you,” she says.

I look up at the clock and realize that it’s mid-afternoon. I sigh. I really don’t care about the party. The only reason I’m even partially excited is because Alpha Quirin will be here. There are a lot of other Alphas that will be here too, including Alpha Henry, who I like. But the others are just hoping to have an Alpha female for a mate. My sisters would be better options for them. They are all excited about becoming Lunas of their own packs. Me? There’s only one man for me. He just happens to be an Alpha as well.

I fell in love with Alpha Quirin when I was six years old. There was something about him at Alpha Henry’s eighteenth birthday party that drew me to him. I’d watched him all night then followed him outside. I don’t know why I’d felt safe with him that night. But I have every other time I’ve been around him since then. I don’t see him often, not nearly as often as I’d like. But I’ve noticed that he’s not as curt or abrupt with me when I approach him as he is with other people.

I got my wolf, Echo, on my tenth birthday. That night, at my party, she had agreed that there was something about Alpha Quirin. Maybe because he’s an older Alpha and doesn’t play the stupid games that the others play, or maybe because he refuses to let the other Alphas tease me in any way, but I’ve always seen him as a protector. Others find his quiet, glowering nature offensive, but not me. Unlike Alpha Henry, who is easy going and has lots of friends, you have to work to get on Alpha Quirin’s good side. I’ve only known a couple of people who have earned that privilege and remained there. I count myself as one of the few.

Over the years, I’ve watched as daring women have approached him during these gatherings. I’ve also watched while he assessed them and took some to bed with him. I’ve tried to determine what it was about those women that made him decide to be with them and not others. I haven’t figured it out yet and maybe he hasn’t either. I’ve never seen him take the same woman to bed more than once at these parties. If they approach him again at another party, he turns them down.

My mother says the women want him because he’s a challenge. My father says they want him for his wealth. I want him because I want to get past the hard, crusty exterior that he puts up in front of others. Over the years, I’ve had glimpses of the man underneath the armor, and I want him. I want that man, the man that very few, if any, ever get to experience.

‘Kennedy, are you coming? You still have to get ready, and Dad says we can’t start the party until the birthday twins arrive. Connor won’t join the party until you do, so hurry up!’ my sister Wendy says. She’s fifteen and thrilled at the idea of seeing all of the Alphas that will be here tonight.

‘I’m on my way,’ I say, knowing that I need to get ready. My twin brother, Connor, is officially old enough to take over as Alpha from my father. I know my father is excited to be able to pass the torch of the pack to my brother. I also know that Connor was disappointed when he didn’t smell his mate first thing this morning. She’s not in our pack, but that doesn’t mean that she’s not in another pack. Every eligible male and female Alpha will be at our birthday party tonight, which has my siblings in a tizzy of excitement. It’s an important day for Connor, which makes it an important day for me. My twin is my best friend, and I won’t ruin this party for him.

“Congratulations,” I say to Anna and Bennett.

“Thank you. I have a gift for you even though we won’t be able to join your party tonight. I’ll give it to your mother to give you.”

“You didn’t have to do that,” I tell her.

“Of course we did. You just helped to deliver our baby, didn’t you?” Bennett asks me.

I smile. “Well, thank you. I know I’ll love it,” I say.

I head back to the packhouse and spend the next couple of hours getting ready for my party. Because it’s such a big deal, to everyone but me anyway, I have someone come in to do my hair and makeup. The dress I chose for tonight is a greyish-green color, something close to sage but lighter. It was the closest I could find to match my eyes. Alpha Quirin told me once that I have beautiful eyes, so I made a point to highlight them tonight.

When I look in the mirror, I hardly recognize myself. My hair is half up and half down with sparkling diamond pins and clips holding it in place. I chose the dress specifically because I want Alpha Quirin to see me as a woman, not as the pup that he always calls me. ‘Little Pup’. Ever since that first night that I spoke to him, he’s always called me Little Pup. I would despise the name if it didn’t make me feel somewhat special. No one else gets a pet name from Alpha Quirin.

The floor length gown is covered in sequins, adding a brightness to the dress. The sleeves are straps that hang off the shoulder and there’s a small train in the back that adds a softness to the overall feel of the gown.

‘Kennedy, are you ready?’ I hear Connor’s voice in my head.

‘Yes, where are you?’

“Outside your door,’ he says, and I can hear the laughter in his voice.

I open the door and see my very handsome brother standing there waiting for me. Where I got my mother’s looks, he looks almost identical to my father. Unlike my father, his dark hair is shoulder-length, and he got my father’s brownish-green eyes, making his eyes darker than mine. He’s wearing a suit that fits him perfectly, accenting his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He will have the women at the party drooling over him. They do anyway, but tonight, he looks every bit the Alpha heir that he is.

“Why, Alpha Connor, how very nice of you to be my escort,” I say, smiling at my twin. His tie and cummerbund are a close match to the color of my dress. We’ll look very good walking into our party together.

He snaps his feet together and gives me a formal bow before extending his arm to me. “How was the surgery? Mom said you were brilliant, as always,” he says.

My brother has always been my biggest supporter with my mother a close second.

“Oh, it was fantastic, Connor,” I say excitedly, making him chuckle.

“Good. Now remember, no matter what happens today, you will always be my twin and my best friend. I hope that we both find our mates, but if not…”

“Then we keep looking,” I say, knowing how important it is for him.

“Then we keep looking. But, if we’re both lucky and you end up leaving for your new home soon, never forget that I’m here for you anytime you need me.”

“Thanks, Connor.”

“Now we’d better go before Wendy bursts something in her excitement.”

I laugh as he begins leading me down the stairs. I turn, as I hear the gasps of the people in the room, watching as my brother and I make our way down the stairs. I look around the room, not seeing Alpha Quiring and feeling a stab of disappointment that he’s not here. He was the only one I was hoping to see. 

The room breaks out in “Happy Birthday!” as we get to the bottom step. From there, we’re separated by the massive number of people who want to say hello and wish us happy birthday.

I’m about halfway through the room of people when Echo stands up in my head.

‘Echo?’ I ask just as I hear a nearly feral snarl behind me and the scent of sandalwood floods my nose.

I turn and see that the partygoers have separated, leaving a space for me to see Alpha Quirin standing across the room from me, his nose in the air as he drinks in my scent.

I gasp as he opens his eyes and focuses his intense gaze on me.

“Mate,” his wolf, Raif, growls.

The entire room has gone quiet and almost as one, all heads turn to stare at me.

I swallow hard, excitement and desire flooding my system and overwhelming me. Thankfully, Echo has no problem managing these feelings. She’s thrilled.

“Mate,” she purrs.

First, I was surprised by his possessiveness of me and I’m afraid to do something that will make him think that I don’t want him. I do want him. I always have. But second, I’m afraid he’ll run. It’s not that he’s a fearful man, well at least not usually. But I’ve been watching my mate for years and I know that when it comes to emotions, he’s not very good at handling them.“Luna Kennedy, how do you feel about being mated to my adopted son,” Alpha Harold asks as we dance.“I’m very happy about it, Alpha,” I tell him truthfully.“Hmmm, not many women would say that. My son isn’t an easy man to get close to.”“I’ve never found it that difficult.”“No, I guess you haven’t. Have you ever been to his pack, Luna?” I love that he keeps calling me Luna. Until Quirin called me mate, I was an Alpha, but now, being a Luna means that I’ve found the man I love. I can’t wait until his mark is on my neck and m

You don’t even have to accept Alpha Quirin as your mate, although, I’m pretty sure that you are happy about being mated to him,” my mother says, coming to stand in front of me.“I’ve always loved him, mother,” I say.“I know. I’ve watched you watch him all your life.”“You have?”“What kind of a doctor would I be? What kind of a mother would I be if I see what others don’t, but I don’t see my own children. You have always been very dedicated and very driven, Kennedy. You knew from a very early age that you wanted to be a doctor and you’ve never wavered from that. You knew from a very early age that you wanted Alpha Quirin, and you’ve never wavered from that either. He’s a tough nut to crack, but if ever there was a nutcracker in this family, it’s you, Kennedy,” she says, making me laugh. I feel tears pricking my eyes.“You’ll have a hard road

    QuirinWhile Kennedy was upstairs with her mother, I took the opportunity to give Connor his birthday present. I haven’t given Kennedy hers yet. I almost don’t want to. Her parents gave her a diamond necklace and it looks beautiful on her. My wolf’s head necklace looks like a trinket in comparison.‘I want her wearing my face around her neck,’ Raif growls.‘I know. I’ll give it to her later,’ I say. I know Raif won’t allow me to go without giving her our gift, but I’m not giving it to her here in front of everyone. I don’t want to see the sneering looks of the other Alphas. I’m sure their gifts were all expensive. I’d prefer to throw them all away and if any of them are inappropriate, I will. I didn’t spend as much money on Kennedy as I could have. Instead, I gave her something that matters to me and Raif. Hopefully, she’ll understand and appreciate the gesture.‘Of course she will,’ Raif says confidently. I’m not so confident.“Alpha Quirin, this is extremely generous,” Connor says. H

    KennedyI’m distracted by the fact that Quirin was in a battle today before he arrived at my party. I had been disappointed when I didn’t see him at first, and it was because he had been fighting.Those thoughts are still rolling through my head, reassessing every move he made tonight. When we were dancing, I didn’t notice anything off. I didn’t realize that he might have been injured. Some doctor-in-training I am.When I first stepped out of the car, I immediately sensed the difference in the feel of this pack. Where my family’s pack feels welcoming, this pack has a definite feeling of unwelcomeness. They don’t like outsiders here. I wonder if Quirin ever has anyone here to visit. Alpha Harold has been here, as have Luna Farrah and Henry, but I don’t believe that anyone in our family or our pack has ever been invited to Quirin’s pack.“Welcome home, Alpha. How was the party?” a man asks, I’m assuming this is Beta Kier. He’s looking at me like I’m one of Quirin’s one-night stands. I ex

But inside, my stomach is twisting in knots. I knew I’d always been drawn to Kennedy, always enjoyed her presence more than nearly anyone else in my life. But now, I get to make her mine. This sweet, beautiful woman is mine. And I’m terrified that I’m going to lose control tonight and tear her apart.When she says goodnight to the pack, I look around, suddenly realizing that everyone is watching us. I don’t know if it’s the surprise that I’ve returned with their Luna or if they feel my own unease, but I don’t like worrying that anyone in my pack is thinking of challenging me for my Alpha position or my mate. Thankfully when I bark my own goodnight to them, they scatter like ants.I have no idea where Kennedy got the idea that we were going to have separate rooms.

    Kennedy“Will you put it on me?” I ask, barely able to drag my eyes away from the necklace. Raif wanted his image around my neck, even before he knew that he was my mate. It would be one thing for him and Quirin to have gotten this for me if they’d known I was their mate. But not knowing, if I had been mated to someone else, that person would never have wanted me to wear another man’s wolf around my neck.I’m not sure what it means, except, maybe Quirin or Raif was feeling the mate bond before today.When he doesn’t answer, I look up to see him frowning.“It’ll get tangled in the necklace that your parents got you,” he says.“I’ll take that one off,” I say, getting up and walking over to where he’s sitting. I sit on the edge of his chair and wait for him to remove the necklace.When his fingers graze over the back of my neck to unhook the clasp, I gasp at the sensations that run through me.

    QuirinWhen she gave me her clinical overview of what she expects sex and marking to be, there was one part of her words that I’ve been holding on to. The slower I go, the easier it is for her.It’s been my mantra since she said it. I’ve been drilling it into my own head and Raif’s as well. He’s not any gentler than I am. I’ve warned her but I don’t like the idea of her tearing and bleeding and she seemed so passive about it, as if pain during sex, or at least this first time, is normal.But then she had to start saying, ‘Yes, Quirin’, as if those words weren’t the words I’ve heard in my wet dreams for the last year or longer. Only I had no idea how sweet my name would sound coming from her mouth.I wanted her to feel good, to know that I can make her feel good and fuck, her body responds to my touch unlike anything I’ve ever experienced with another woman.

I didn’t expect that my mate would be here, there’s nothing for me here in this pack, but I figured I’d better make sure.‘I would have smelled her last night if she was here,’ he says.That’s true. I guess she could be in Kennedy’s pack, but somehow, I doubt it. I’ve known for a while that my place wasn’t in either of my older siblings’ packs. I’m an Alpha wolf with an older brother who has taken over our pack. My father’s Beta and his mate have a son who has already taken over as my brother’s Beta and the same is true for our Gamma. There’s no place, no position for me in Connor’s pack.I could probably petition Quirin for is Gamma position. He’s been talking about needing to fill it and now that his life is full of pups, he needs the help, but it’s not what I want.‘We’ve made our decision,’ Thad says.We have, we just haven’t told anyone yet.

    QuirinTwo Years LaterI sigh with happiness, or actually, Raif sighs with happiness as we lay on the back patio with our four daughters. Just as Kennedy had hoped, there was one set of twins that looked like me and one that looked like her. We’d named them accordingly with the ones who looked like me being named Quinlee and Quilla and the twins who look like my beautiful mate named Kaylee and Kendra. What we didn’t know is how deceptive looks can be. The daughters who carry my looks are sweet and gentle like their mother. The ones who look like Kennedy have my little hellion personality.Currently, all four of them are surrounding Raif in one way or another. I’ve decided that Kendra, who was the one with the cord around her neck, was Kennedy’s little rib-kicker while she was in utero. She’s currently on Raif’s back, kicking him as hard as she can, telling him to giddy-up. Instead of getting up, he lifts his head and shakes, forcing her to hold on tight as she squeals in delight.“No,

As excited as I am to meet our daughters, I’ve only felt fear like this once before in my life and that’s when you were taken.”I chuckle, but the movement sends a jolt of pain through my stomach so I stop.Quirin presses a kiss to the side of my head as we walk into the hospital and straight to what he calls the ‘Kennedy Suite’. I will say, Mom is absolutely prepared for my babies to arrive. There are four bassinets, waiting to be filled, a larger than normal counter with multiple areas to bathe, measure, and weigh my little ones and all the equipment mom thinks we might need in case any of our pups or I go into distress during delivery.Quirin and I are very familiar with the procedure of me getting checked, so he hooks up the heart monitors over my stomach while mom prepares to check me.

    KennedyI watch as my mate sits on the edge of the bed, patiently smiling at me. He’s rubbing my belly that is huge with four pups. There’s so little space in my stomach that you can see their butts or heads or sometimes their feet when they kick out because there’s just not enough room in there.My little stomach-extenders obviously love their father more than they love me because they stop shifting around so he can touch them. Raif is purring loud enough to practically bring down the rafters in our bedroom and somehow my pups don’t seem to care that I’M the one who is just as uncomfortable as they are.Echo hasn’t gotten any stronger during my pregnancy and I’m not surprised. As soon as my Alpha pups started getting too jammed up in my stomach, they started kicking; kicking my bladder, kicking my kidneys, and kicking my ribs, sometimes hard enough to crack them. Obviously at least one of them has her father’s strength.‘What can we do to help you?’ Quirin asks in my mind so I can hea

He's obviously enjoying himself.“Do you really think I would have answered the fucking phone if I was in bed with my mate?”“You might have, if you were worried about me,” he says.“Did you call just to harass me?” Quirin asks.“Well, mostly yes, but I did call to check on Kennedy,” he says.“My mate is perfectly fine. Her mother is here to make sure that her pregnancy and delivery are going well and Echo made her reappearance again this morning,” he says, smiling down at me.“That’s awesome, Kennedy. I’m so glad to hear that. But really, I was calling to make sure you have a safe word.”“A safe word?” I ask and Quirin starts growling, louder this time.“Yeah, you know, in case Quirin keeps you locked to the bed because of his voracious need for you and you can’t get away even to use the ba

Opening myself to her has made the tightness that has always constricted my heart snap. I feel free, light, and oh so happy. It’s an unfamiliar feeling, but one that I want to feel forever.Waking up with her warm, soft body tucked against mine, her sleepy consciousness in my head is the best way to wake up. That is, until Raif and I hear Echo’s weak voice. If I’d been standing up, I think Raif would have tossed me to the ground in his excitement to get to his mate. But as rough as he was with me, he’s nothing but gentle with her. In our shared mind space, he carefully walks to his mate and lays beside her, curling himself around her protectively. She licks his face briefly before laying her head back down. Raif begins purring at her and she sighs contentedly.“She’s back,” Kennedy whispers and I can hear the teary happiness in her voice.“Yes, she is. She’s a strong wol

I miss you,’ I tell her.Raif begins purring in both our mind and out loud. I can feel Echo fluttering in my mind, responding to the gentle call of her mate. This is what Mom told me to try. Echo will want to please her mate, to be with him again, so having Raif in my mind and helping Echo connect to him may help to strengthen her.‘I’m willing to take as much time as my mate needs to help her gain her strength again,’ Raif says. “I already knew she’d be the perfect mother to my pups, and she hasn’t disappointed me.

And where is my mate? I can smell her. She’s nearby.I force my eyes to open and immediately wince as the light above me shines in my eyes. Why is there a light above me? Where the fuck am I?“There he is.” I hear Luna Yara say and a moment later she’s beside me. I know this positioning. I’m in a hospital. Am I still recovering from the bear attack? No, that can’t be right. I didn’t just dream my life, did I?“Where’s Kennedy?” I ask, more harshly than is necessary.“Bathroom. She’ll be right back. How are you feeling?” she asks me.I feel fine, just disoriented.“Why am I in the hospital?” I ask, realizing that I don’t feel like I have any injuries, and I’m completely dressed except for my shoes.“What do you remember, Quirin?” she asks me in her gentle way.“Hey,” I hear my mate’s sweet voice.
