Chapter Seventy-Three

The aftermath.

Dread fired my vessel, as if my mind was too scared to remain attached to my body. My chest was aching from the soul destroying realisation

“Aida? Aida, what’s wrong?” Lance races to me, all colour feels like it has dropped from my face.

“Fern…she’s dead!”

“She protected you…he would have killed you!”

“She bound herself to Lex and Leona….” I started to run, not even realising I was still naked. I had to get to our children, to make sure they were okay.

The same fear hits me through the mate bond from Lance.

“I can’t get hold of Mother through the link…” Lance growls in my head as he overtakes me, as does Mav, Brennan and Axel. Hong, Tate, Rory and Henri are on my tail, faster runners than me but I had a heads start.

I run all the way to the alpha house. I couldn’t feel my legs anymore, they had turned to jelly. But I kept pushing myself.

I run through the already burst open front door and up the stairs to the guest rooms we had been allocated. I can hear the cri

    A protective mateRory left the Saunders pack immediately, he didn’t even say goodbye which hurt slightly. We had just been through a battle with witches together and he was giving me the blank treatment. I know it wasn’t aimed at me, that he was battling his own issues regarding his mate…but I had hoped he would know he could come to me for help. Lance was keen to return to the Santos pack immediately. To check on the security and also call an emergency meeting with the reformed witches council. If they had exiled Fiona and Flint…what did that mean exactly? Would they still be trying to find them, to make them accountable for their crimes or as long as they stayed away they would get a chance of a clean slate. That didn’t seem fair somehow and I would fight for us to hunt them down. “What was that about with Rory?” Lance asks me from the front of the car. I was sat in the middle of both Lex and Leona, who were presently safely secured in their car seats while Lance sat in front w

    Talking in riddles. Our playtime in the cloak room was not unnoticed by Mav, who had a wide smirk on his face when we walked into the sitting room. Everyone was here, even Giovanni and Lorrel, and Lance’s cousins. “Hair is a bit messy Aida.” Mav teased as I cradled both babies in my arms, placing a kiss on their foreheads and inhaling their scents. “Really?” I try to hide my blushing cheeks. Complete embarrassment washing over me from realising he would have walked past the cloak room when entering the front door. “Hhmm!” He chuckles as Colette elbows him in the side, giving him a “stop teasing” glare. “How did it go?” Blake’s asks as Trey sits next to her on the sofa. “They are definitely hiding something…whatever caused the civil war in the first place.” “And we will find out. Just let the dust settle first angel.” Lance walks behind the sofa and plants a kiss on my head. “I need a security debrief, I won’t be long. Tucker is already waiting.” He says as he starts to head to

    Just when you think life can be normal again. “She bound herself to the twins.” I mind-link him, we already knew this. “No Aida, this is worse.” His concerned response through the mind-link has me struggling to keep my breathing steady. “What have you done?” He seethes at her as he cuts the mind-link with me. His hands were clenching by his side and his arms were starting to sprout fur. His wolf wanted blood, witch blood. Technically she was dead…no one would know…“I needed to elongate my life to protect them…” “Break it, break the bond.” He commands, releasing his aura onto her and I see her wince from the pain. She was weak, the wound was killing her. “I can’t, not now. I need to stay alive. She’ll be back.”“Why? Tell us what’s happened Fern, why did the witches go to war?” I push, what weren’t they telling us? Why was this shroud of secrecy about. “I can’t…not yet. It could affect things later on. They think I am dead, it needs to stay that way.” She shakes her head as she

    A forever friendship. Three weeks have passed and the dust was starting to settle. The Saunders pack had lost a lot of warriors and we have been providing lycan muscle to help protect their borders while they train pack members in case another attack occurred. However, you could be the best trained warrior yet a fight against witchcraft would completely reduce your chances of survival. This brought a new fire to my belly in ensuring the safety of the shifter community’s future. The Santos Lycan training programme was actually over subscribed and fully booked for the next two years. Alpha’s were keen to ensure their warriors were trained at the highest level. I think it also helped that they had pledged to me and knew I wouldn’t let anything untoward happen to their male and female fighters whilst on Royal Lycan land. Rafe had completed his training and I was sad to see him go. I missed seeing him around the training base. Alpha Ray and Luna Rennie came to his graduation, even Rowan

    Steamy time in the office. “Do I even want to ask who you have in mind?” I chuckle as he closes the door, after watching Rory walk down the corridor. “No, because right now I have you all to myself.” He seductively grins as he locks the office door. “That’s true!” I stand up off his chair and walk towards the other side of the desk, perching against it slightly.Blake had put my outfit together for me today. A tight black vest top with skin coloured leggings. She said my wardrobe space was huge and looked very sad with nothing in it. So I ordered a few bits on her recommendation, and clearly my fiancé appreciated my attire today. “Do you have any idea how sexy you look in those leggings?” His eyes turn to that of a predator, ready to devour me. His eyes remain on me, my skin heating under his focused stare, as he prowls towards me. My body reacts to his movement, my breathing quickening as my breasts rise and fall under my tight vest. He leans into me, encasing me against the de

    A chosen family. It was now dinner time and Rory had returned to the royal home having watched some trainees down at the training base. I know Rowan is keen to train and I wonder, when of age, if Rory will agree to enlist him. He hasn’t admitted it but I know he is impressed with Rafe’s training, especially as he has been heading up the Mulder pack security function recently. I had offered to make dinner tonight, even with Axel’s playful rude comments about my cooking. He said if there was a French fry in sight, he would order a takeaway in. Okay so that did spoil my initial plan but then I offered spaghetti bolognaise, garlic bread and salad for everyone and their mouths were already drooling from the mere prospect. There was fifteen of us sitting around the table, including my cutie Rayna. She was so proud to be sat in a high chair and eating the same dinner as the grown ups. Although she was making quite a mess of her outfit…and the floor for that matter but I didn’t care. I’m s

    Setting out the terms. I was woken up by a few things. Something hard poking me from behind, Lance also snoring behind me…so that explained the something hard poking me from behind. I also woke up hot and sweaty, which hasn’t happened to me in a long time. I don’t remember dreaming last night, maybe it was a hot night. It was August after all and the summer heat was still clinging on before the autumnal wind change in a few week’s time. Lex was stirring whether he also added to my early awakening or his stirring was a result of my awakening…goddess knows. I throw on my nude leggings and a vest top before taking Lex down with me before he wakes up his daddy and sister to change him and give him some milk. I’m not even sure what the time was but the morning still had a slight darkness to it which for summer would tell me is was between 4am and 5am. The moon was just starting her transition of handing over the light shift to the sun. Lex and I settle down on the sofa once he has b

    Saying goodbye. “Trust the Mulder Alpha, he holds the second of three!” Fern’s voice kept ringing in my ears. Is that what she meant, that Rory’s dagger was similar to the dagger Fiona used in the battle. Would it have killed me? It didn’t kill Fern, but is that because she has tied herself to Leona and Lex? It certainly was a powerful weapon. I could feel its power as soon as it cut my palm. With every cut it took longer to heal. I could feel a slight tingle in the wound, as I clasp it open and shut repeatedly. “Still healing?” Lance’s voice comes from the office door, his body engulfing the door frame as he lent up against it. “It’s taking longer this time.” I say as I trace my finger across the wound, even with Lance’s alpha saliva it wasn’t quite there yet. “Want me to re-lick it?” He smirks seductively as he walks into the office and closes the door behind him. “Well…if you’re offering.” I smile back at him before taking on a more serious tone. “I think Rory’s dagger migh

    A pledge. Lance POVAida had been extremely quiet on the drive back home. After packing we said our goodbyes and wished Trey good luck for his training with Giovanni. “Are you okay?” I place my hand on her thigh, as I check the rear view mirror. Both babies were sound asleep in their car seats and I was leading the security convoy back home. Brennan insisted on returning sooner than planned with us, he wanted to give Aida a full check up. He quietly said to me that judging by the twin’s early arrival we need to consider March onwards for her delivery. “I’m just a little shocked that’s all.” “You’re putting your block up, I can’t feel you. Aren’t you excited?”“Yes of course, of course I am. I just…I just wanted to do the training…to help keep them safe.” She looks out of her side window, not letting me look at the emotions on her face. “Angel, you don’t need to train to keep them safe. I have an army of warriors to keep them safe, I will keep you all safe.” …..“Aida would you

    Boxing DayChristmas was everything and more. We didn’t buy Lex and Leona much because..well they are babies and didn’t actually know it was Christmas. The day was more for us and I thoroughly enjoyed making those memories as a family. Blake’s and Trey’s ceremony was beautiful and I can see why people waited for a special marking. But Lance had waited for so long to mark me that I didn’t regret our love story for one moment. Our wedding would be our celebration in front of our family and friends and the ceremony got me excited to start planning when I returned from training with Giovanni. I would definitely ask Blake to help with the planning. Their ceremony was under the winter night’s sky with the stars acting as twinkling fairy lights against the strong moon’s glow. She had been growing her hair out for the occasion and instead of the pixie cut when I first met her, she had managed to grow it out into a long bob, which she styled wavy with winter berries styled in a number of r

    Christmas with the family. It was now December, Christmas Eve to be precise, and I was so excited to not only experience Lex’s and Leona’s first Christmas but to start training with Giovanni on Boxing Day. I had weaned Lex and Leona completely off me and they were now on solids and cow’s milk. Colette couldn’t believe their development. I knew shifter children developed quicker than human babies, but Colette found it hard to get her head around it. In fact, Lex was almost a similar size to Rayna even though he was 5 months younger than her. Colette was heavily pregnant and her mood swings were increasing. She was quite adamant that she didn’t want to know the baby’s gender this time around and was quite blunt to Mav about it. They had moved back to their house near the Mulder pack, she wanted her space and I understood, she was uncomfortable nesting in someone else’s home. I still saw her regularly and Mav every day. We had even babysat Rayna a couple of times so Colette could get
