The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 77: The Way it Should Be
AriannaI knew Kier would take his time. I knew he’d told me that being intimate was supposed to feel good, but I’d never guessed that it would feel THAT good. I was shocked when the heat that was building in my core like a hot furnace, exploded in my body. I had grabbed on to Kier’s body, holding him as my own body felt like it was shattering into millions of pieces.Then he’d kissed me and slowly helped my body piece itself together again. After that, what was left?Apparently, there’s more. A lot more.I know he’s watching me to make sure I’m okay with everything he’s doing, but I also get the impression that he likes my body, likes watching how I’m reacting to his touch.“Did you like that?”“That was ...” What do I say? There are no words for what that was. No words that I know anyway.He smiles, as if he understands the feelings that I’m incapable of putting into words.“Can I make you come again?” Is he asking my permission or is asking me if my body will respond. The answer to

QuirinI spent some time celebrating Kier’s and Arianna’s mate bond with the pack, a celebration that continued even after they went upstairs. The pack is excited and happy. It’s such a different feeling, something I’m so unused to that I feel a bit lost without Kennedy here to help me navigate through it.“I need to head home tomorrow, Alpha Quirin. Now that I know my sister is safe, I need to return to my pack. But I’m only a phone call away if you ever need me or the pack. I’d also like you to know that you have an open invitation to my pack. Not only are you my sister’s mate, but now we’re allies. You’re welcome any time,” Connor says.“Thank you. When things settle, maybe I can bring Kennedy for a visit. A real one this time. I think she’d like that,” I say.“Are you going to come visit me too, Q? Maybe for more than a day?” Henry asks.“Yeah, yeah, we’ll come see you, too. I need to deal with Slater and Kennedy needs to heal. And I also need to figure out how to clean my pack lan

KennedyI wake up warm and comfortable, with Quirin’s sandalwood scent surrounding me. I feel a slight fluttering in my mind and I know that Echo is fighting to come back to me.‘Heal yourself, Echo. I’ll be here when you get back. I love you,’ I say in our mind. I know my wolf, she won’t stop fighting. But hopefully she can hear me and knowing that I can feel her trying will help her to feel better. I can still feel the pack holding on to her, helping her to find her way back.The next thing I feel is Quirin’s mind. I smile, loving that it’s still open to me. Right now, it’s quiet with his sleep, although, images of Slater, the pack lands, and me are flashing on repeat.‘Those are the things he’s most worried about,’ Raif says, purring in my mind but loud enough that I can feel the vibration against my body.‘Don’t wake Quirin, Raif. He needs his sleep,’ I scold him.‘What I need is for my mate to be healthy. How are you feeling, Little Pup? Sorry, I’m still half asleep. How are you f

QuirinEven though my mate isn’t strong enough yet for us to have sex, just having her love in my mind makes me feel like I’m walking on air.After our shower, she was feeling tired, so I put her back to bed and let her know I’d say goodbye to her brother and Henry for her.“I can send Connor up to say goodbye if you’d like,” I say, pulling the blankets over her. “And I’ll let your mother know that she can come up whenever she’s ready.”“I’ll text Connor. He’ll understand. Tell them both I hope to see them again very soon,” she says. I press my lips to her forehead just as there’s a knock at the door.“That will be your breakfast,” I say, walking to the door.I smell her before I open the door. “And apparently, your mother is as anxious to check on you and I am to have her check on you,” I say, opening the door to Luna Yara.“I caught your omegas making Kennedy’s breakfast and thought I’d join her while you and Warren talk,” she says. I step aside and let her in. She stops and tilts he

WarrenI’m excited to get started with Quirin this morning. Not only is it good to feel needed , but I want to nurture the new relationship that we have. I’ll tread lightly, I don’t want to do anything to disrupt the new bond that we’ve created. But I want him to know that he’s family now and that’s important to me, it means something to me.I stepped away when Quirin and Henry were saying goodbye, and I’d seen Beta Kier and Beta Arianna descending the stairs together.“Congratulations! I hope you’ll be as happy as Yara and I are,” I said, smiling when Arianna blushed sweetly.“Thank you, Alpha,” she said.I’d watched them walk into the kitchen and heard the squeals of excitement from her friends as Arianna showed off her mate mark.I waited patiently for Quirin and saw him turn to see what was going on in the kitchen, then saw his pack members ask to speak to him. It’s difficult not having my own tasks to do, but I know that it’s important as an Alpha to meet with your pack members wh

KennedyAfter Quirin left, my mother got me settled while mumbling about my mate. Then, she finally focused on me.“How are you feeling? Anything from Echo?”“A bit of fluttering, but not much. She’s still weak and so am I,” I tell her.“You lost a lot of blood, so that’s to be expected. Plus, I’m sure Echo is being a good momma wolf and making sure your pup stays safe and strong.”I swallow the bite of food and look at my mother. “Speaking of pups, what’s this I hear about you wanting another one?”She smiles, obviously thinking about whatever she and Dad talked about last night.“Your father made a good point when we spoke last night. Very soon, you’ll have a pup and I’m guessing Connor and Madison will as well. So, rather than having my own pup to focus on, I’ll focus on yours and being the best possible grandmother ever! Can you imagine if you both have twins??” she asks excitedly.I was on the verge of telling her that of course she’ll be the best grandmother ever. She’s the best

QuirinAs soon as I knew Kennedy was comfortable and safe, I stripped off my clothes and leaped off the patio. About halfway to where my patrols had announced that my trackers had Slater, Kier joined me.‘I can’t wait to find out where they found him,’ he says.‘I can’t wait to see his face when he realizes that we know what he did. You know he thinks we don’t know about his part in all of this,’ I tell him.‘What are you going to do with him?’ Kier asks.‘I haven’t decided yet.’ I growl as I feel the silver burning Raif’s paws. I’m pissed off all over again at Jasper.When we get there, I shift and walk up to Slater who is on his knees in front of the patrols.“What’s the meaning of this? I left. I wasn’t bothering you. I rejected you and this pack, so why the fuck did you drag me back here?” he snarls. I glare down at him, and I can see the fear behind the bluster. I can also see that my trackers weren’t exactly gentle with him while dragging him home.“Not bothering me ... Hmmm,” I

ChristyI was woken by the sounds of the pack’s excitement. The feeling in the pack made me nervous and scared and I suddenly felt vulnerable and alone. Tears began streaking down my cheeks as fear began to overwhelm me.“Hey. Are you in pain? What’s the matter?” Deborah asks me. She’s the one sitting with me today.“What’s going on? Are we under attack?”“No, I’m not sure exactly what’s going on. I can find out if you want me to,” she says, but I shake my head quickly.“Don’t leave me. Please don’t leave me,” I say to her.“I’m right here. You’re safe,” she says soothingly. I’m not sure I’ll ever feel safe again. Every time I close my eyes, I see him. I’m back in that bathroom with Arlo, terrified, dominated, and abused. Luna Yara said I could go back to the packhouse today, but I’m not sure that will be any better. What will the pack say to me? How will they look at me?I hear the doors to the pack hospital open and Deborah goes to look into the hallway.“Oh, hello Alphas, hello Luna

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
