It's just like the old days.Rain always loved to walk through the pack on foot at night. She always claimed that the fresh air at night was best and we could reenergize for all the next day's workload. We walked out of the house towards the large park close to the forest. This too, was a project of hers, Rain insisted that pack members must have a place where mates could relax, kids run around while the parents' picnic. And later, it proved to be a great success, the park is being used extensively to this day. Jace later even added a pond at the center where geese now swim, and several rare tropical fish have permanent homes. When we get there, we silently walk down the path, enjoying the morning air.Eventually, we sit down on a bench, me pulling her close to me. "Shall we repeat our promises to each other, Rain? I can't hold you to the old ones now that you're suffering from amnesia. But I want to keep them, that alone will keep my wolf
Luna Queen Rain's POV Completely satisfied, I lie in Jasper's arms.My belly makes it impossible for him to be on me, so we lie side by side, facing each other. My legs are still wrapped around him and we are still connected. I feel his heartbeat is becoming normal. Our sex was mind-blowing, the bond between us worked like magic. I know his wolf took over to mark me, but I really don't mind. Jasper had told me earlier that we had agreed to wait till my wolf would come out so we could mark each other simultaneously. But ever since the Moon Goddess indicated that I should mate both men, I had already decided that Jasper would mark me first. And it happened just as my wish; I think I have Jax on my side. Slowly I open my eyes to get out of the stupor. And then I stare outside the cave. There it is again, my worse nightmare.Lupercalia. Now I have the name of the moon that has haunted and terrified me for months. This time, she is no l
The following weeks go by like a dream.Jasper is busy working with Jace and the Elders to arrange the relocating of Storm Forest. It is a hell of an undertaking to bring over a thousand wolves across to Canada. New homes must be built, schools, daycare centers and sports centers in the Kingdom have to be expanded. Fortunately, the activities are moving steadily, even Esis has provided designers and construction workers from his pack to make everything move faster. By the third week, more than half the pack has already moved under the leadership of Cleo, the Head warrior. The Elders, Jasper, Jace and I will be the last to leave. But despite his busy work schedule, my mate always makes time for me. After our escapade in the cave, I moved back into the packhouse. After falling asleep on the park bench, I woke up next to Jasper in his apartment in the packhouse. I understood right away what had happened. Every morning we have breakfast together, after which
All I want is to make Jasper as happy as I am. If peace in the family is worth a lot to him, I am willing to take the first step to clear away whatever strife going on. My mate told me that his mother and sister are ashamed of what happened and therefore, won't come out. But then I wonder if I have done enough in the past to mend the rift between us. I walk toward Elena's quarters. The little one has gotten Jace to let her have her own apartment on the Alpha floor instead of being placed with the maids' children. Elena has a strong character, she can persuade anyone to do what she wishes in no time. She has stayed in the pack all the weeks, lending a helping hand at the daycare and preschool. Almost every mother knows her and she gets requests to help at the vacation school more often. I am so proud of my little friend. When I step into her apartment, I hear her giggling. I see her sitting at a kitchen island, her laptop open in front of her. She is on
All Happy Nervously I stand in front of the mirror and look at my effigy. My wide dress falls beautifully over my swollen belly. Yes, I think I am ready for this big moment. On the bed are the presents I wrapped beautifully with special paper. I have not told Jasper what I am planning; I want to wait and see how it all turns out first. In case I succeed, the surprise will make him so happy. But I dare not guess what it will mean if everything falls apart. I hold my hopes high and trust that Jasper's family also wants to see him happy. There is no chance that he and I will break up, at worst, I will have to ask that we at least be civil with each other. We all owe it to the pups, they are entitled to a healthy living environment. Elena now enters the room. "Saray, are you ready? I just checked, and they are in the garden at this moment. You really should hurry," she portends me. She helps me carry the packages and I waddle out of the room beside her.
From that day on, life in the packhouse is many times better.Three times a day, we spend time as a family in the dining room, Jace and Elder Antony are always there. We bond strongly, no one would think there were tensions between us before. And it is perfect this way, Jasper is so happy about this. In the evening, before we go to bed, he keeps on thanking me for restoring peace to the packhouse and household, it is as if a heavy burden has fallen off his shoulders. He once told me his father was always concerned about his dysfunctional family. Jasper is sure that his dad now looks approvingly at us from heaven. But the day of our own move is also approaching.My father accompanied the second group that left a week ago. He is now also in the Kingdom and managing the pack along with Cleo. According to reporting, the adjustment is going steadily, the Lycans welcome the werewolves with open arms. Many are pleased with the newcomers because many unmated Lyc
Still Luna Queen Rain's POV Jasper is tense. He didn't sleep a wink last night.I know what's on his mind. The prospect of having to share me with Ralph is hard for him to accept. No Alpha is willing to share. They are naturally possessive and jealous, wanting assurance that their mate is theirs alone to love and mate. Jax is in constant debate with him, I could feel it all evening. Jasper stroked my hair affectionately to calm his senses. But we have to obey Selene.She came up with this for a reason. The Kingdom must return to its origins and I am now the mate of the real King. She came up with this solution to make the bridging go smoothly. Triple mating is nothing new in the werewolf community, although it sporadically occurs. There are a few packs known where this is the case within the Alpha family. I pray my sons do not have to bear this and endure their father's pain. Era tries to comfort Jax as best she can, but she doesn't really
Secretary Eric's POV I didn't go to that clownish display at the airport.Ralph, the King of the Royal Kingdom of Werewolves, will stand there, looking like a fool there. This double mating is nothing to me, I don't understand what this is supposed to lead to. Jasper is the real King, he is the father of the pups Saray is carrying and he has had her with him for the past month. So, Ralph is just a vulgar horn bearer, he holds a title with no substance. Even my position is shaky especially now that I have no successor. At worst, Saray's sons will choose a new secretary outside my bloodline. But I am not named Eric if I do not come up with a solution for that.If I get a woman from Saray's family, mate and have pups with her, the King will have no choice but to keep my bloodline in office. Both Kings, either Ralph or Jasper. It's called checkmate. Yes, that's a perfect idea. Saray has two sisters, Ruth is already mated. The other one is the eldest and neve
Twelve years onTwo devastatingly handsome Princes walk the red carpet and accept congratulations on their eighteenth anniversary. Jasper and Rain's sons have grown into confident men. They completed their studies in Human Town under the strict supervision of Aunt Ruth and Uncle John, while godmother Magda often brought them some surprise visits. They have returned to the Kingdom to start their training to rule the Kingdom. But taking over the throne will take several more years. Walking behind them are their three sisters, aged sixteen. Triplets.Breathtakingly beautiful girls, many Lycans dream of being their fated mate when they reach adulthood in two years. They have been raised protectively, Jasper and the Sages seeing to it that they carry off their titles as Princesses with dignity. Except for the youngest, Adlin. The spoiled Princess gets up to all sorts of mischief and often brings her parents to the brink of despair. She is a party animal; her h
Six Years LaterOnce again there is a grand celebration in the Kingdom. The biggest after the Princes' birthday bash.Elena, the Queen's special friend, turns eighteen today and will start her duties in the Palace. But far more important is her mating with Ivor, the Chief Warrior. The couple has long waited for this day after the Moon Goddess made them mates at Elena's twelfth. Ivor has guided her into adulthood and supported her where he could during her studies in Human Town. But years ago, it was announced that the girl who had now grown into a gorgeous woman would return as the Queen's Secretary. Last night she arrived on the Royal Jet, but no one had seen or spoken to her since then, not even Ivor. But the Chief Warrior was not going to be put out of business.He organized their acceptance and mating ceremony on her anniversary. A lavish ball awaits his mate. In Human Town, he bought her an amazing diamond engagement ring. He is used to showering her
The Kingdom has survived the betrayal of King Ralph and moved on.Jasper is now the sole King of the Royal Kingdom of Werewolves and is respected by all werewolf packs worldwide. He honors his Queen and the species are not outspoken about his devotion to his family. The twins grow up as happy pups adored by all. Ralph's name is no longer mentioned throughout the Kingdom. The Name Giving Ceremony has arrived.All the grandparents - the former King and Queen, Clea and Ana - have done all the preparation. The names are known to only a closed group of high rankings and have yet to be announced to the larger public. The twins are now six weeks old, but Rain still marvels every day at their steady growth. And now, assisted by Jasper, she dresses the boys, who seem to know that they are in the spotlight today. They babble away and are quite active. And then, it's time for the official part of the day.The Kingdom is one big party scene, the Lycans
Selene's eyes pass the Lycans one by one.The Sages bow respectfully to her while Eric and Ralph turn red, their heads also down, albeit for a different reason. Jasper and Rain have their hands together honorably, while Jace and Cleo follow suit. "You guys wonder why I summoned you to face me," she begins sarcastically. No one answers for fear of getting her wrath on them. "We'll start with Eric," she states and turns to the man. "What is your confession, Secretary? I've watched your missteps for too long". Eric has no choice but to tell his sins, the reason he had Natalie killed, his rejection of his fated and accepting a second chance, and the selfish reason he marked Rachel. A sigh of disbelief passes through those present. Selene now turns to Ralph."Ralph, I gave you the Kingdom despite you not being the rightful heir," she starts. "Also, I gifted you Rain, you were infatuated with her and confident in making her your Queen. Even though I had already
At The OracleFour men stand in front of the Moon Goddess Oracle with their eyes firmly closed.They have been standing there meditating for about an hour. A crucial moment in the Kingdom has arrived, and they ask Selene for guidance. The Oracle has told them to wait until the Moon Goddess has heard several parties. The ancient Lycans are also consulted; not long after, she will relay her mission to the Sages. Yes, Elder Antony of Storm Forest has been added to the Sages of the Kingdom.He carries the history of the new inhabitants to the Kingdom. History will determine the present but no one in the room dares to make a prediction. It is waiting for Selene's word. All four know that the circumstances in the Palace are explosive. The King having committed adultery with a warrior and Eric's rejection of his second chance mate and sudden mating with the Queen's sister have heated up tempers considerably. In addition, intelligence reported to the Sages that E
King Ralph's POV I keep a low profile.I still can't believe this happened to me. Never did I think of cheating on Saray, there was no woman attractive enough in my eyes to share the bed with. Saray is everything to me, for months I have waited for the moment of our physical love. Even now I get all kinds of visions of how that will all come about, the way I'll drive her crazy between under me. We were supposed to make arrangements the day after her coronation and I knew that night she would be mine. But she went into labor and that Jasper treated me like nothing. He made sure everyone around was aware that the pups were his, was unwilling to share the moment of their birth with me and just forced me into the background of it all. I stood in the maternity room against the wall as if I didn't belong there. No one involved me in the birth of the Crown Princes. The pain went deep, the Moon Goddess indicated to everyone that I would never have
Frustrated, I tap my nails on the tabletop.I'm just wasting my time here. The Sages are not taking us seriously, my Lycan is on edge. Over the last few weeks, I have been able to sense his strength, but I won't know how great it is until I rip the heads of the three men in front of me. They do not understand that I am capable of anything to protect my family. This whole Kingdom can be stolen from me, I'll just take Rain and my boys back to our pack. It is not that we are homeless or dependent on these weighty titles. Elder Nicolas hears us with an expressionless face.The others also show little of their thinking. I need to know their stance to decide my next move. I want to prevent Rain from knowing about Ralph's infidelity and rejecting him against the Moon Goddess' decision. And a rejection in the Royal family will have an unparalleled impact on the werewolf packs and on Ralph himself, especially if the reason becomes known to all. In the worst-cas
King Jasper's POVRain is still asleep after our night full of passion. I smile as I look at her, my mate, my heart.She's insecure about her figure that just can't get rid of that baby fat. But she doesn't know how sexy she looks now with her full hips. I hope from tonight she won't worry about that. My lips graced her and gave her everything she craved. I showed her how she could excite me with the slightest touch. She is now the mother of my pups and that makes her that much more special in my life. The boys are amazing, the youngest has his mother's raven black hair, while the oldest oddly has inherited my brown-blonde locks. But the difference stops there, as far as their facial features are concerned, they are identical. My spitting image. Slowly I detach myself from Rain's embrace.I grab my sweater from the floor and put it against her face so my scent stays around her. Standing next to the bed, I put my jeans back on and go into the walk-in clos
Queen Rain's POV We sit in the Palace garden with our pups, enjoying the nice weather. The boys are growing steadily, it always amazes me when I consider that they are only two weeks old. But they act like two-month-old babies, already smiling broadly and playing with the music boxes hanging above their crib. And they are definitely bigger than the children their age I see on the Internet. At first, I thought it was because of their feeding and wanted only to breastfeed them, no extras. But Jasper explained to me that Lycan pups have faster development than humans or normal werewolves. Anyway, I am proud of my sons, they are healthy and growing like cabbage. Jasper sits next to me with the eldest in his arms. The young man adores his father, sensing Jasper close by is enough for him to stretch his arms out and babble a lot. Fortunately, Jasper makes lots of time to be with them. And then there is the rest of the family, who spoil both boys beyond measure. With so many grandparents,
