The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 54: Finances
KennedyI slept until late in the morning the next day. Surprisingly, so did Quirin. Or at least, he was still in bed when I woke up.The moment I stirred, I felt his lips press against the top of my head. “Did you sleep well, Little Pup?”I shift. My body is still sore as the memory of last night returns to me.“Wendy...” I say, starting to get out of bed.“She’s awake. Kier told me that Henry went to stay with her while your parents came to get some food and before they’d finished eating, Alpha Harold came to get your mom, letting her know that Wendy was awake.”I feel him press his lips to my head again. It’s so unusual for my active mate to just lie here in bed with me that I assume we’re about to have the ‘talk’ of me not going to the safe room.“You scared the shit out of me yesterday,” he says softly. “When I realized that you weren’t in a safe room, that you were exposed to the fighting, I struggled to focus on the fight. And then, I saw Wendy in Henry’s arms. She was awake but
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-01The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 55: Need
QuirinI need to be inside my mate. I know her family is here, I know that this might be a little more than she expects, but knowing that she had no idea how wealthy this pack is, hearing her say that she would have wanted me even if I was poor, the fear of losing her that I experienced yesterday, it’s all combining into an uncontrollable, desperate need for her.I stand, setting her on her feet then I go to the door and lock it before turning around to look at her.“Quirin?”“I need you, Kennedy. I need you right now,” I say and even I can hear the desperation in my voice.She looks around. “Where?”I growl, happiness bubbling up inside me. I can already feel the darkness inside me quivering in expectation of her light. She doesn’t care that I’m desperate for her, she’s just naïve as to where and how I’ll take her in my office.I watch her grey-green eyes darken as I prowl toward her. Instead of telling her, I walk to her, turning her in front of me then pushing her forward.“Hands on

KennedyWendy needed another night in the hospital. Between all of us, we made sure that she was never alone. I was surprised that Henry also wanted to spend time with her, choosing to stay behind even when Alpha Harold and Luna Farrah returned to their pack.Connor and Madison returned to the pack the same day as Harold and Farrah, needing to make sure that everything was in order, and Yorick chose to return with them. The following day, my parents carefully packed Wendy into the car and I hugged my family goodbye.“Next time I’m here, I hope to see a fully functional hospital,” my mother said smiling. She and I talked about my conversation with Quirin. She hugged me, telling me that communication is very important in a relationship. I know she’s right. Now I just need to convince my mate that he needs to listen to me. Of course, my mother told me that I need to do a better job of communicating as well. I guess Quirin and I both have work to do.Later that night, the others returned b

QuirinI was intending to have lunch with Kennedy, but instead I walked into the Arlo and Slater shitshow. If Arlo had made a move on Kier or anyone else, I would have killed him. As it is, it took everything in me to not kill Slater. I’m going to give myself time before going down to the cells because I’m ready to kill him. I heard what he said before Kier knocked him out and I was seeing red. He’s truly lucky that my mate was there to help calm me or I might have killed the entire group. I don’t fucking care if I have a pack of three as long as those three are people who care about my mate.“Christopher!” I bark. I’ve been sitting in my office trying to control my emotions and my fury so I didn’t start killing everyone. Holding on to Kennedy as we walked out of the pack hospital had served two goals for me. It has helped to calm the fury inside me and it had ensured that she was safe and away from those who apparently don’t realize that they will respect her as their Luna or they can

**Slight Trigger Warning: References to sexual abuseKennedyEver since my Luna ceremony and my discussion with Quirin, I feel like things have gotten better in our relationship. Our bond feels stronger and while he still keeps his mind mostly closed off to me, he’s much more affectionate at night when it’s just the two of us. Well, he’s become quite affectionate in the mornings too, waking me before warrior training in the best possible way.This morning is no different. My body is humming with the pleasure that only Quirin can give me. I love knowing that he tries so hard to maintain control but eventually, that carefully held control snaps and his thrusts inside me become hard and rough. I love every minute of it. I’ve even started trying to find ways to make him lose control faster. He doesn’t treat me like I’m breakable or delicate when he loses control. He takes me in the hard, rough way that is all Quirin.So, when I nip at his throat and I feel his body quiver as his control be

QuirinLife is about as perfect as it could be. Well, besides still needing to treat our pack lands to get rid of the silver and dealing with Slater who is set to get out of the cells tomorrow, my life is better than I ever thought it could be. And it’s all thanks to that little mate of mine.True to his word, Alpha Warren sent me some information on how I could treat our pack lands to eliminate the silver. I’d looked it over and while he was right about it being expensive, it looks like it would work. Now it’s more about disposing of Jasper’s silver powder supply and then starting the long, arduous job of clearing the silver from my land.When my scouts return, letting me know that they think they’ve found Jasper’s supply, I’m even more excited.“Where is it?” I ask.“He’s got this barn looking structure on his pack lands. We were able to sneak in and get to the barn. It looks like they have the silver powder laid out in enclosed trays. I’m guessing that they bring them when the come

SlaterI’d been laying on the bed in my cell when I felt it, my brother’s death.I snarled, rushing to the cell bars. “What the fuck just happened?”I’d heard a commotion above us and the two guards who were watching me raced upstairs. Down here, we only have small windows at the ceiling to let in just enough light to make you remember how much you hate the dank, dark area of the cells. It's barely enough space to hear what's going on above you.No one answered my question because no one was here. Then, I’d felt two more tethers snap, friends of mine. Their deaths had come at the exact same time. Are we under attack? No one sounded the alarm and Arlo said that Jasper was waiting to attack until he gave him some information on Kennedy.But now, my brother is dead, and I don’t have a fucking clue what’s going on.I stand there, waiting for someone to come tell me what happened to Arlo, seething in my fury. If Jasper betrayed us, I’ll kill him.When the door finally opens, I’m shocked to

KennedyI’ve just sat down and laid my head on the side of Christy’s bed when there is a commotion out in the waiting room. I step out of the room quickly to see Beta Kier, Terrance, and Randall walk in with David and Slater.“What are they doing here?” I snarl. As exhausted as I am, I do not want anyone who was associated with Arlo in this hospital.“Alpha wanted them to clean up the bathroom, Luna,” Kier says.“Take them around back. I don’t want them in my hospital.”Slater scoffs and begins to turn, however, I step forward.“Problem, Slater?” I snarl, letting Echo push forward. I push the full force of my Alpha aura on him and watch him fall to his knees as his neck lifts in submission. Shock registers on his face as I prowl toward him.“I’m guessing you knew what that sick brother of yours intended to do to that poor girl, didn’t you, Slater?”“I was in the cells, Luna. I didn’t have any part in it,” he chokes out, his throat fully exposed to me.“But you did know he wanted her, d

The Pack's Nemesis Epilogue 2: Life Plans
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
