The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 46: Relationships
YaraAfter returning to the packhouse, I watched my daughter and Quirin. I know my mate struggles with him being Kennedy’s mate. He and Quirin have never had a good relationship. I’m not sure they ever will. But as long as they can be civil to each other for Kennedy’s sake, that’s all that matters to me.My relationship with Quirin is different than Warren's. He’s always been much more kind and gentle with me than he has been with Warren. I have no doubt that it’s because he feels indebted to me for saving his life, but it’s given me an insight into a side of Quirin that not many people see. There is a kindness, a desire to please, and I believe, a deep-seated need to love and be loved in side of Quirin. I think he has the ability to love, but I also believe that he didn’t have the best role model for a father. The man was willing to give up his chosen mate and Luna to take me as his Luna. There is no one in the world that could ever take my place in Warren’s life, heart, or bed. So, w

QuirinI have no idea what to make of Kennedy’s family. They harassed her relentlessly all evening long. I would have stepped in, but no one seemed bothered by it, not even Kennedy. I mean, she didn’t seem to like hearing the embarrassing stories about herself, but she gave it back as much as she got. Even Henry seemed to enjoy the bantering and Kennedy’s siblings had no problem including him in their teasing.I wonder if this is what a family, a real family is supposed to feel like. I have no doubt that if anyone attacked any one of them, they’d give their lives for each other, even the youngest two. But they have no problem attacking each other verbally and laughing at each other’s expense. I’ll admit, there were some pretty funny stories, but I refused to laugh at my mate, no matter how much she didn’t seem to mind the others laughing at her.After watching Henry run around with a younger twin under each arm, holding them sideways and bouncing them until they were squealing at dog w

KennedyWhen Quirin got up for warrior training, I quickly showered and got dressed before going downstairs to help the omegas get ready for breakfast. I know they’re nervous having so many Alphas in the pack, which I’m guessing has never happened before. So, I want to make sure they are comfortable and help out if they need it.We’ve just finished putting the food out when everyone starts coming inside.“Dad, are you limping?” I ask him. Everyone else is chattering happily as they walk in.“Apparently I’m out of shape,” he says as my mother walks over to him, quickly assessing his injury.“Arric?” she asks, running her fingers over my father’s hip.“I’m fine, my mate. It seems like this old wolf still has some new tricks to learn,” he answers.“Don’t think your dad didn’t get in his punches. Man, I wasn’t expecting to work so hard today!” Lane says, walking up behind him and slapping my father on the shoulder.“One of the best workouts I’ve had in a long time,” my father says, smiling

QuirinI watch as Kennedy walks out of the back of the packhouse. I have Kier and Henry standing on the stage with me. The pack will recommit their loyalty to me and Kier today while accepting Kennedy as their Luna, and Henry will preside over the ceremony which gives me the chance to just focus on how utterly gorgeous my mate is.Farrah went all out as I knew she would. The entire area looks perfect for my mate. There is some sort of gauzy gold material draped around the area that is covered with the artificial turf, making sure everyone knows where it's safe to walk. There are twinkling lights and flowers draped everywhere giving the area a magical feel.The green dress that Kennedy is wearing fits her perfectly, falling to her feet is a soft, flowing skirt. No skin-tight, short, showy dresses for my mate. Nope, this dress is elegant and classy, just like she is.I growl a low, possessive growl as I watch her walk toward me. Her eyes never leave mine as her father guides her to the s

KennedyThis is the second time that the howls of alarm have gone up since I arrived at this pack. The third since my birthday. Back at home, we rarely had anyone attack our pack, maybe three times in my life. But now, it seems that Quirin’s pack is always under attack.“Get to a safe room, Kennedy,” Quirin says, leaping out of bed and throwing our door open before leaping over the banister and shifting on his way to the first floor. My father, brother, Henry, Alpha Harold, and Farrah follow right behind them.I quickly get dressed and rush outside to see my mother and Madison rushing down the hall.“Madison?” I ask. She’s a warrior, used to fighting, so I’m surprised that she’s stayed behind.“Connor is worried that I might be pregnant and if there’s silver powder ...”“It could injure the pup. Good thinking,” my mother says.“Come on, I’ll show you where the safe rooms are. We can get the twins and Yana on our way downstairs,” I say. I know that Yorick and most likely Wendy will have

Brogan“I thought you said you’d been attacking them weekly?” I bark at Jasper as I wash my hands again. What the fuck does Quirin have on his pack lands?“We have been. You and I just attacked them last week. And I didn’t know her whole fucking family was going to be there. I thought it would just be Henry and Connor. I wasn’t expecting Warren, the second son, and Harold.”“I swear if you’re yanking my chain about this money,” I growl, although it’s not just about the money now. I saw her. Kennedy. She’s even more ripe than I remember.The other thing I realized is that, unlike most of her family, she’s not a fighter. The guard had started fighting and she and her mother stood back and watched. Any fighter would have jumped in and helped him fight. That just means it will be easier for me to get her and keep her once I have my hands on her.“Look, he’s loaded, okay. The only reason they seemed so strong was because there were five Alphas fighting, well, technically six, but my Beta to

Kier POV“You’re injured again,” Arianna says, looking me over. Her hands are gently skirting over my body as if she’s using her fingers to check what her eyes are seeing. Since my body is starting to respond, even with the pain that I’m in, I grab her hands and pull them to my chest.“Rowd says he can’t heal some of these wounds, so I need to go see Kennedy,” I say, expecting her to step aside, or maybe to encourage me to go. Instead, she stands there, her eyes focused on my chest.“Arianna? What’s going on in that head of yours?”She doesn’t answer and when I smell the salt of tears, I tilt her head up to look at me. “What is it?” I ask gently.“I’m so afraid,” she says, her voice shaking with her attempt to control her emotions.“Afraid of what, baby?” I ask and gently swipe the tear that begins to fall down her cheek.“Of losing you in one of these attacks,” she whispers.“Hey. Hey,” I say, pulling her against me. I know I’m naked and dirty from the battle, but I don’t like her cry

QuirinI knew Wendy must have been badly injured for Henry to be so distraught and for Luna Yara to have lost her carefully maintained control. But I had no idea that my mate would be able to save her. I was sure she would try, but I didn't know that she would be in surgery for eight fucking hours and somehow manage to save her sister’s life.I’ve once again managed to underestimate my mate. I don’t know how I keep doing it, but here I am. Again.As I carefully strip off her clothes, I think about what she said, that I don’t like her father. Alpha Warren and Alpha Connor didn’t hesitate to answer the call of attack. Alpha Warren landed on the first floor immediately after I did. Yorick and Kier had leaped at the same time I did and I’d had to twist mid-air to avoid colliding with them. Their family didn’t hesitate to enter the fight, even though this isn’t their battle, and they nearly lost their daughter because of it. I'm not sure how to feel about them protecting my pack as if it we

Yorick‘Smell anything, Thad?’ I ask my wolf. I’m still in bed on this, my eighteenth birthday. 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. I’m not sure how they will react and I’m not
The Pack's Nemesis Epilogue 1: Family
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,
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 92: Delivery
KennedyRaif continues to purr as we walk to the hospital, and I lean my head on Quirin’s shoulder.“Are you scared?” I ask him quietly.“Terrified. 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. This might be my favorite part of the day, watchi
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 91: Bedrest
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
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 90: Gender Reveal
QuirinAlpha Warren and I had walked the pack lands, testing the soil, finding the spots where there is the heaviest concentration of silver and the areas that are most important to clean up. He and I came up with a plan based on the most heavily trafficked areas in the pack, the places were pups were likely to be, and then the heaviest concentration of silver.He began working on it right away, and I’ve never been so happy to have Warren in my pack. With everything going on, I need to be focused on Kennedy and my pups, not worrying about Jasper’s silver contamination.However, Warren did tell me that he and Yara would like a house of their own. So we found a spot where the two of them wanted to build and added that the first part of clean up so we can break ground on their home. Until then, they are on our Gamma floor.I can’t say I’m getting used to the noise that constantly seems to come from that floor, but I will say that it feels like good practice for me.Today, however, Kennedy
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 89: Nanny Position
Kennedy“Hi Henry,” I say, hearing Quirin growling low in his chest at Henry’s teasing.“Ah, shit. I’m not interrupting you two in bed, am I?” I hear him ask, although I'm pretty sure he snickered. 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
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 88: Luna's Verdict
QuirinI meant what I said to Kennedy. I could live forever in her beautiful mind, surrounded by her love and light. 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
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 87: Love's Intensity
KennedyAs Quirin carries me back to the packhouse, I open my mind to him and Raif, and also to Echo.‘Echo, if you can hear me, we love you. We know you’re taking care of our babies and being the excellent mother that you are. But Raif is here, Quirin is here. They will help protect our babies. You need to get strong, my wolf. 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. But you need your strength, my love. I want to feel you in my mind too,' he says to her.I can almost feel Echo laying down in my mind, her own soft
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 86: What's Important
QuirinI come awake feeling disoriented. Something is wrong, or ... not wrong, just off? Unexpected? What the fuck? I’m never this disoriented. And why is my bed so fucking hard? 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. In a quick mot
