~Aurora’s Point of View~

~Rosemary’s First Birthday~

“Blow it out sweet girl you can do it,” Javed coos, as he holds the camera.

I giggle so bad I nearly wet myself watching Rosemary stare at the candle in her cupcake as if she’s offended. She eventually sticks her finger in the icing, licks it, then makes a face.

“She hates it,” I laugh, hitting Javed’s arm playfully.

She’d had some plain vanilla cake once when I was doing some baking with Gretchen but I hadn’t tried icing since she really doesn’t have that much sugar in her diet.

“We should have done a cake pop, those all the rage,” I say, as I silently make a wish and blow out the candle.

There’s only one thing I’d really wish for, and I know it won’t come true. I want my family to stay whole, I need Javed by my side. I can’t even fathom how Rosemary will handle it. They’re absolutely two peas in a pod, always together. She utterly adores him.

He’s decided to go tomorrow to begin his sentence. This way, he’ll be home for R

  • The Pup's Midnight Vampire   37 - Parting Is Sweet Sorrow

    ~Mason’s Point of View~ I can’t take my eyes off Aurora, not for a second. I’ve had far too long to fantasize about having her again, and now her damn vampire of all people is delivering her to me. He wrote to me last month and asked if we could meet. I didn’t know what to think, though he assured me in the letter that nothing was wrong with Aurora. But when he came last week to talk to me man to man, it was clear that wasn’t the case. Things were very wrong. It makes me sick she got caught up in his bullshit. Vampire bullshit. If she’d stayed with me where she damn well belongs, she wouldn’t have any worries. Just being happy, being a mom. It warmed my heart to find out she did have a daughter, but it just isn’t the same as having your own true pup. *We’ll give her many,* Jaxon says, matter of fact. He eyes our mate, drooling over the curves she’s developed but it's clear she’s also got some muscles. Her calves almost look like she’s a runner. I need those legs wrapped around me

  • The Pup's Midnight Vampire   38 - Home Sweet Home

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ Once Javed leaves, I’m not sure I can even cry anymore. Now I’m just angry, I mean I have been that too, but now that he’s gone and it's all so final, it’s hitting very differently. Mason introduces me to a male who also came from a sister pack but I barely hear anything. I have a faint recollection of him saying he’s also the Gamma, something that I should be so proud of him for, but I can’t care about it right now. I move on autopilot and follow them, not even phased that Mase is still buck naked. He seems completely comfortable and unphased by it. I have to imagine he did that in some way to have a dick measuring contest with Javed. Most males would have at least put on shorts by now. Everytime I get a glimpse of his back I see the massive pack tattoo that pretty much takes up the entire thing. I know that all pack members get the emblem but females usually get tiny ones no bigger than a coaster. Jeez that had to hurt! I suddenly realize I never got a

  • The Pup's Midnight Vampire   39 - Settling In

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ I settle Rosemary down on a towel that Mason has laid over her bed and thankfully she doesn’t wake. He’s that paranoid about Javed’s scent transferring that he had to put a towel down?? I roll my eyes but remove the baby wrap and hold it to my nose. I nearly lose it again with the heavy scent of his Persian spice mix and vampire combination. When I hear the water in the shower turn on, I struggle to get it together. He’s going to expect me to shower with him, naked … obviously. That’s what mates do. When I was with Mase before I didn’t feel like I was cheating, I didn’t feel like I was sharing my body with another in shame. Because, well I hadn’t done anything physical with Javed. And I was blindly in love with Mason so it didn’t feel wrong. But now… Involuntarily, I hug my empty belly thinking about how many times we’ve made love. How I should probably have had two babies by now with as many times as we did it. While it was always heaven, I can’t deny

    ~Mason’s Point of View~ *You’re sure nobody is there right now? Even close where they could have eyes on us,* I say, over mind-link to my boy Lex. *All clear bro, you got this,* he says, trying to give me an extra boost. I really had no idea what to expect this first week with Aurora, but it’s been shit. Absolute shit. I’m afraid to touch her, sometimes afraid to talk to her and this can’t continue. There has to be a way to get through to her and have her realize her life isn’t over. It’s just beginning. This is a new beginning for us both. Lex got a hold of a computer, we don’t have many here because we can only get internet access on the far outskirts of the pack. He did some research on the island where Aurora had been living and the sandy beaches were breathtaking. I’m sure the views are stunning and that’s a hard thing to give up. I don’t have an ocean, but I’ll do anything I can to give her something similar. To prove to her that Midnight Moon can more than be her forever hom

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ *I’m sure it was just the stress of it all and the pressure. There’s no way it’ll be like that next time. Didn’t you say he used to always get you off even if he didn’t get off? It’s not like he doesn’t know females like to get OFF. If I could talk to that hunk of wolf I’d give him a piece of my mind,* Lucy says, confused. I swim away from a very perplexed Mason and don’t even have words. It’s not that he came in like five seconds, I mean it is his first time. Yeah it is a lot of pressure. But the fact that he didn’t seem to care or notice the issue with it. Especially when yeah … he used to basically get off on getting me off. Goddess I’m so spoiled by having a male that never tires. A male that can go all day and night, a male that won’t rest until I’m beyond a sated puddle of goo and mush. Javed knows his way around a woman’s body more than any other male possibly could. He knows my buttons, he knows my everything. Sometimes just the sexy face he makes wh

    ~Mason’s Point of View~ ~Three And A Half Months Later~ “You got this baby! You’re doing so good. One more big push and you can relax. They have ice cream,” I coo, as I wipe Aurie’s sweaty hair from her face. She audibly growls at me, and fuck if it doesn’t make me hard. I love her all sweaty and angsty. We don’t exactly fight, but we have little tiffs and then the hottest make up sex imaginable. *Not the time! But ohhh yeah she’s sooo hot when she’s mad,* Jaxson says, preening over our mate. “You can just go straight to he--- OHHHH SHIT!! It burns!! Ohhh ohhh Goddess make it stop! It’s ripping my vagina in half! I can’t do this, I can’t,” she squeals, as the nurse yells for her to keep pushing. She screams and grunts so loud it nearly shakes the entire room and I have to check and make sure she didn’t shatter her teeth. “It’s a boy,” the doctor shouts, proudly holding up my screaming son. Tears flow right down my face and I wipe them away quickly, then bend to kiss my mate

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ By the time Mason came back to my bedside, I’d already passed out from sheer exhaustion. I felt him kiss me but I couldn’t even open my eyes. Gage nursed and we were both spent. When I woke about six hours later, I sat up in a sheer panic when I felt my empty belly. But thankfully Lucy immediately consoled me and said the baby was just beside me. When my eyes see his little chest rising and falling, and my ears pick up his heartbeat, I relax. I get up slowly, every muscle in my body absolutely aching. I feel as if I sense Mase, but he’s not in the room. I stare at Gage with his chubby red cheeks and he’s passed out, his mouth wide open, catching flies. So perfect. First priority: grabbing the pitcher of water by my bedside and chugging it down. Someone must have filled it recently because it’s cold and I couldn’t be more grateful. Then, after the bathroom I wander to Rosie’s room where I find her and my mate fast asleep. He’s got his finger curled in her ha

    ~Mason’s Point of View~ I hate that I’m sitting here wondering how Javed would want to handle the situation with Aurie’s parents. It’s the first time I’ve had a thought like this honestly. But I have to imagine he knows that you only get so much family. Unfortunately for him, his mom was a raging psycho, but until we know otherwise we need to keep an open mind about Aurie’s. I open the three letters and arrange them by date, still holding my mate in my lap. There’s no telling if her emotions will be all over the place. I’m certain they will be so I need to keep her close. *I hope it works out, Lucy’s turned me into a hopeless romantic. By the way I think you really should keep trying to do the dancing, we’ll get better at it,* Jaxson says, curling up. I roll my eyes at that. *As long as you remember your place in a fight twinkle toes romantic,* I taunt, and if a wolf could flip me off he was doing it. I nearly cringe when I see the letter is several pages but hopefully that also

  • The Pup's Midnight Vampire   Epilogue Two

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ When we’re outside what I remember to be the palace where Setareh lived, my eyes are wide. The place is now deserted, and completely dark. But there’s a very eerie feeling over the place and it’s absolutely nowhere I want to go. My eyes quickly move to Brenna, and I have to wonder if this will make her freak out. “They added onto the place over time but I’ve been here over the last couple of decades out of curiosity. There’s one thing I never quite told Javed and there’s no time like the present,” Artoosh says, as we all turn to stare at him. Javed especially looks puzzled. He and his father have grown so close that I can’t imagine them having any secrets. Artoosh waves for us all to follow him and I hold the hands of both my mates and make a face. *What the fuck is this place,* Mase asks, over mind-link. Lucy paces in my mind as if she should be ready for a threat but with three vampires by our side any threat in here should be what’s scared. *Javed’s

    ~Twenty Years Later~ ~Aurora’s Point of View~ “This could never get old,” Mase says, as I lean back into him. I gaze out at the insane view, wishing I could see it in the daytime. We’re perched on a flat sliver of rock overlooking the Grand Canyon and it’s breathtaking even in the darkness. Thank the Goddess for shifter’s night vision. Lucy immediately perks up my ears at all the different sounds of animals below. Just when I think Javed has shown me all the beauty this world has to offer, when I think I’m stunned, we visit somewhere we’ve already been but I fall in love with it all over again. Javed sits in front of me, and as usual I’m happily squeezed between my warm and cool mates. “I promised Rosie and her mate I’d take them out tomorrow night. They’re looking at the Maldives. Which probably means they’ll need a babysitter,” Javed says, a lazy smile on his face. Grandparents. We’re grandparents now. How fucking bizarre! Eleven so far and counting. Some days I can barel

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ ~A Year And A Half Later~ “We don’t have much time,” I whisper, as I grind on Javed’s hard thickness. When he looks at me like I’m the only female in existence, like I’m his goddess, nothing else truly does exist. Except when you’re a mother of six pups and ohh, you have another mate in the house that literally always knows what you’re doing. Not only can he hear you, but he can feel you through the bond. And his parents are always around. And my parents and brother. Goddess I miss the privacy of the beach house I knew I should have asked to go tonight. “Yes, Javed, ohhh right there,” I whisper, as he grips my hips and pumps into me. *Hmmm, this is incredible, but do you know what would be better…* Lucy says, moving my thoughts where she wants them. I run my nails down Javed’s chest, drawing a bit of blood as she makes me see what she wants. What she dreams of, and I literally can’t focus. She’s been bringing this up for months but lately it’s every s

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ “I think he’ll surprise you,” I say, trying to be upbeat. *Of course he will,* Lucy chirps, practically half asleep. It’s literally taking all my energy, cause I’m fucking exhausted. It’s just after two in the morning and while I’d love nothing more than to stay with my vampire lover, I know my family is also waiting for me. I’d mind-linked Mase to tell him I was going to the beach house when Javed first came, and he understood that meant I may not be home. “Just come at dusk with an open mind, okay,” I say, as Javed kisses my forehead. I look back at the Midnight Protectors packhouse which is mostly dark and quiet. “You say that like I’m not already a fool at your mercy,” he teases, his eyes lighting with mischief. Lucy bats her eyes playfully as if he can see her. Goddess I miss that so damn much! His impossibly sexy flirting. I’d melt if I had even an ounce of energy left in my body, but I simply don’t right now. He walks me to the door, and kisse

    ~Javed’s Point of View~ ~Three Weeks Later~ “This is bullshit Hassan, I’m fine. I would never, ever hurt her, let me see my Aurora,” I growl, ready to rip his head off. “Tsk, tsk, that hostility is why you need more time,” he says, wagging his finger at me. I’m nearly ready to punch a hole in the wall when suddenly everything stops. Time seems to stop. I draw a deep breath and catch the familiarity of what I know can only be … my father. Just last week when I was coherent enough to understand, Hassan told me what happened. I simply still can’t believe it but when I think about Setareh in those early days, I know it in my black heart to be true. This is the very level of cruelty that she aspired to. Forcing me to remain by her side all these years knowing that the only creature, the only person who ever loved me was nothing but a pile of bones, descended into absolute madness by her hand… As if she didn’t fuck him up enough in his human life. When he thought she loved him and bo

  • The Pup's Midnight Vampire   50 - One Big Family

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ I can’t for the life of me understand if this is some kind of psychological torture bullshit, but for probably ten minutes the vampires have been doing literally nothing but standing on the beach watching us. Some freakish curiosity? Jealous of what they could never have? A true mate? A beating heart? But there’s nothing we can do. Mase’s dick is still inside me, neither of us really wanting to move. I know he’s sure as hell not letting me out of his grasp. *What do you think they’re doing,* I ask, over mind-link as I rest my head on his chest. *I wish I fucking knew. This is stupid, fucking dumb,* he says, and it's obvious his level of irritation has spiked. Out here he’s not a Gamma or a fierce fighter, a father or a son. He’s just a blood bag. Our question gets answered pretty quickly when two new vampires practically fall out of the sky and stare at us. Mase has since tied my bikini back on, not that it really freakin’ matters. But if it helps him

    “Just one night Mase,” I whisper, as I look up at him from the floor of the walk in closet. The carpet in here is impossibly soft and it smells more like Javed in here than anywhere else. I’ve already decided I’m staying in there, naked and rolling around all night. Goddess knows if this carpet could talk… “Baby I can’t just leave you out here unprotected. If something happened to you I’d never forgive myself,” he says, not backing down. “There’s a panic room in his office where he’d slumber for the day, it’s fireproof, all that. I can go down there if I have an issue,” I insist. His chest growls slightly and I can’t blame him. The idea of Mase raising four pups on his own is in fact terrifying. I’d never want that. But I need this. “Surely there’s a hotel or something on the island, that’s the best I’ll do. I have to at least be that close if you need me,” he says, running his hand through his hair. He looks so damn sexy, he’s gotten a lot of sun today. We stare at each other

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~~One Month Later~“Goddess, I’ve never been so happy to see a familiar face,” I sigh, as I practically lurch myself at Matthew. I have literally no idea where my pups, mate and family are but I could care less. Being cooped up in a wagon with pups that have way too much energy is anything but ideal. Sleeping in a tent is hell on earth and I’m convinced we’ll have to stay at Midnight Protectors for a year because I am NOT making that trip again any time soon.That journey is a HELL of a lot better in a vampire’s arms. Even when I first went to Midnight Moon I did travel by horse and we did the trip in two days. This … was over a freakin’ WEEK.“Glad to see you sweetie,” Matthew says, rubbing my back.He abruptly clears his throat and pulls back. “Guessing the guy looking at me like he’s going to rip my head off for touching you is Mason,” he says, shaking his head and laughing. Just then his pups descend on me and I scoop one up quickly and coo at it. Ohh, I

    ~Aurora’s Point of View~ ~Two Years Later~ “Colton! You knock it off,” I snap, as I drop the laundry basket and watch as the clothes go all over the place. I make a face but then look down at the chubby cheeks of my two month old angel Violet and smile. “I’m gonna get you,” Rosie shouts, as she continues to chase her brothers. Closing my eyes, I count to ten. When they pop back open, Lucy is trying to calm me down but it’s useless. Mase has been out all morning doing Goddess knows what and I’ve been alone with four pups on nearly no sleep!! “Fuck this,” I whisper, as I turn and walk straight into the pantry and shut the door. I instantly curse that there is no lock on it, but none of our doors have locks. I close my eyes again and let my forehead thunk against the wall. *It’s gonna be okay, some days will be hard,* Lucy coos. A tear falls down my cheek as I recall the pains I had last night, Javed’s pain. It’s truely fucking horrible and I just can’t understand how it doe
