~Skyler’s Point of View~ I shifted back, disappointed that our happy mood was killed. I scooped up Ellie and took her inside, putting her on her bed. She had some grass in her hair and I left it there, it was adorable. My wolf, Dusk, had also insisted I put a flower in her hair and before picking her up I did put a little purple wildflower behind her ear. *Dude get dressed,* Hunter said. *Go boss someone else around,* I huffed. He threw some shorts at me and I reluctantly put them on. This was going to be the first night with Ellie knowing we were her mates. How the hell were we going to behave? Dusk sure as hell wasn’t trying to behave. I got in bed with her and held her, listening to her light breathing. I would sleep in here with her tonight, and nobody would stop me. I was stroking Ellie’s face when her eyes fluttered open, making my heart skip a beat. “Oranges, hmmm,” she said, turning into me. “Hmm, my sweet girl,” I said in her ear. She wrapped her arms around me an
I must have fallen asleep for a little bit because when I woke up it was raining. River was licking my face to wake me up. I laughed. I didn’t mind getting a little wet. This time, Hunter helped me get onto River’s back and I laid down on him and held on as he took off. River ran me right onto the porch and out of the rain and I started to twist out my hair. Within seconds a big set of warm hands were on my hips, and lips were on my neck. Skyler. “I can’t tell you how much my wolf loved that, his name is Dusk by the way,” he said, starting to move me toward the door. He reached around me and opened the door. I turned around quickly and smiled. “I didn’t even think to ask what all of your wolves’ names were!” I quickly realized he was naked and I instantly put my hands over my eyes. “I’m so sorry I-” “No need to be bashful baby, I’m not,” he said, trying to move my hands. “Skyler…” Hunter said, his voice giving a warning. “We’d never rush you, I’m sorry,” Skyler said. I could
~Hunter’s Point of View~ I could never have imagined anything so amazing. Any other she-wolf I’d ever been with suddenly faded away, I couldn’t even remember them now they were so insignificant. Ellie was more than everything I could have ever wanted, she completed me. Even if I had to share her. *Go next,* River said to me. I didn’t waste any time questioning him. I moved down toward Skyler and touched his shoulder just after Ellie came. He came up for air and growled at me and I waved him off. He reluctantly moved to her side where I had been. I started kissing up Ellie’s legs, wanting to give her a minute to collect herself. “Are you okay baby girl, do you need water or anything,” Skyler asked, cooing in her ear. “No, just kiss me,” she said, out of breath. Skyler immediately found her lips and she began moaning. I knew she was already soaking wet but I wanted to feel it. I put a finger inside her, making her thrust her hips into my hand. Hmmm, she’s going to be a little t
~River’s Point of View~ Last night after Godfrey gave me the order to search for Kai and I knew I would need all the help I could get. I couldn’t think about it much last night though, since we were all finally getting to be with Ellie intimately on some level. I understood where Godfrey was coming from but it didn’t help make me feel better about lying to her for so long and keeping that secret. I felt like we had a lot to make up for with Ellie. I was super jealous that the guys got to stay behind with her all day but I was doing this for her. Well, it was my assignment anyhow but now it had turned into something so much more. To owe a debt to a witch that you can’t pay, is pretty bad. I don’t even want to know what’ll happen. Kai was an extremely old and powerful fairy, probably far more reaching than Katrina and her family as far as witchcraft went. To marry him would be a huge honor. Now I had to not only find him, but convince him to marry her ... easy right? There was li
~Hunter’s Point of View~ The idea that one of our own could be either helping Gunner … out to hurt Ellie … or both was infuriating. I didn’t want to believe it. We were very careful when speaking to Dina and Godfrey not to suggest that Kai was doing anything because we didn’t have any evidence. *You might need to get Godfrey alone and tell him, Dina is his family so you can’t say this in front of her,* I said to my brothers, over mind-link. *I don’t think we’re there yet, you know how he is about throwing around accusations, we need more,* River said. *Yeah I’m not about to piss Godfrey off. Plus Dina is beside herself about turning him into a warlock,* Skyler said. I sighed. We’d been puttering around all day and getting nowhere. We spoke to Angel and Katrina both on what they knew about Kai but we couldn’t let on to them that we had any suspicions. To the best of my knowledge there has never been a time a Shadow has gone AWOL like this and certainly never a time that one commi
~Ellie's Point of View~ Godfrey began walking back to the bedroom and I followed him, after giving Hunter a kiss on the cheek. I immediately heard the guys talking but I couldn’t tell what they were saying. I walked into my room and sat on the bed, Godfrey closed the door and stood in front of me. “Now dear, I know we all realize what an usual situation we find ourselves in, and while I support you being with the mutts I am afraid we are still a society with rules. The council has decided that if your wolf has not surfaced after tomorrow night, they can proceed with the mating ritual,” he said. I jumped to my feet, I think taking him by surprise since he moved back from me. “I understand the law, but this is my body and MY CHOICE! How can some people that don’t even know me decide for me! They are my mates and we know that I am of age, we know that I-” The door burst open and my mates crowded in the doorway. “Leave us,” Godfrey said, looking bored. He always looked bored. The t
~Skyler’s Point of View~ What’s the first thing Ellie does once she shifts? Takes off running so we’d have to chase her! That little minx. She was in for it! My wolf loved to chase she-wolf tail and we always won. She could run but she couldn’t hide from me! Dusk was absolutely elated and ready to pounce on our little mate. My brothers and I let her get a bit of a head start and immediately began throwing every dirty, naughty thing we wanted to do to Violet at her. Turns out, Violet was a little vixen, as I knew she would be. Our mate would have three horny as hell wolves to satisfy and I was giddy to find out she was as excited about it as we were. Violet had waited so long, she wanted to make up for lost time. She quickly began telling us everything. She wanted a large family with a ton of pups and she wanted to start right away. My wolf purred at that, as did my brothers’. I felt like we’d waited so long for this night, and it couldn’t be more perfect. Violet finally stopped a
~Godfrey’s Point of View~ The mutts were late, but I wasn’t about to hold things up. Their father Ash was present and he had a massive file with more than enough to convict, even though this wasn’t technically a trial. Gunner agreed to be teleported to our headquarters for this mediation and I wasn’t about to squander such a precious opportunity. The council was assembled and I ordered them to begin. “As the werewolf representative of the council I shall call on the offender to stand and respond. Alpha Gunner, you stand accused of crimes against your own kind. You have invaded three peaceful packs, murdered innocents and have taken over their lands. You have provided no provocation for your actions, nor have you detailed any possible, legal reason for going to war. What say you,” Isaac said. We all turned to look at Gunner who was standing with his attorney. “If it may please the council, I would very much like the chance to explain myself,” Alpha Gunner said. Ohh, I hated this

Ben and I had talked about doing an actual ceremony, for him it was an important thing. Tradition. He assured me ours would be completely different from anything he’d done before, that the vows he made with other women were somewhat superficial. More of a just a promise they could join his family and that he was willing to have a child with them. More like a guarantee he’d get to sleep with them on demand. I still struggled with that sometimes. How do I just walk around knowing that all these women had shared something so special and intimate with MY mate? It wasn’t like they were one night stands. I knew it would get better, the more distance I could put between them and him, but it still tugged at my self esteem. It was even harder trying to help care for Dorothy and Calista’s children, especially since even now they still asked for their moms. Sometimes they cried out for them at night. A few times we both slept in their rooms with them. Dorothy was banished for five years, then
~Meadow’s Point of View~ “Don’t you just feel like a cow sometimes,” I muttered, staring down at my adorable twin pups that seemed to drink me dry each time they nursed. They were so cute when they weren’t screaming. When they weren’t crapping their pants. When they were just … motionless. *My beautiful babies,* Coral cooed. “Yeah, but it's such an incredible bond,” Lilly said, as I turned to cut my eyes at her. She was four months pregnant with their sixth child and THANKFULLY it was only one baby this time. I thought they were all insane. I nearly said, ditch the crap woman, I’m a freaking milk cow, a spit up rag and yesterday Reed whizzed in my face while I was bathing him! “It gets easier, they’re only six weeks old,” Lilly said, running her finger over Hazel’s cheek. That’s what they ALL keep saying. “It gets easier.” Ah huh. *We have been getting more sleep lately,* Coral protested. Yeah right, like SHE ever gets up. Really, I had no right to complain, since I had mo
~Ben’s Point of View~ I barely had to wait another minute for several vampires to try swarming in. Oftentimes there are some creatures that will take on a not so common alliance for the sake of a power grab. I knew in my bones that’s all this was, unless this sister had taken one as a mate. While you’d expect Godfrey to perhaps have reservations about killing his own kind, he absolutely didn’t. As a councilor, he took that shit pretty seriously. If they wanted to fuck around and be stupid, test the waters well, that was on them. I stood still watching as numerous Shadow vampires, witches and fairies seemed to descend from nowhere, and I also recognized two of Godfrey’s children. He likely called them through their bond, but I was pleased for the support. I bounced around, throwing some fireballs from my fingertips and even conjuring up some various weapons such as shurikens or ninja stars, which were one of Godfrey’s favorite things. Only it was hard for him to touch silver unless
~Ben’s Point of View~ My heart swelled as I watched Daisy doting on Ash. Since their mating bond had been broken, they re-mated and apparently all that entailed. They were both like young teenagers in love all over again, and it was a sight to behold. I couldn’t wait to bring Meadow to see. They had been left alone for a couple of days, much like my little love and I. But now guests and well wishers poured in from all over the place. I could tell he was grateful and overwhelmed but the relief on everyone’s faces seemed to rejuvenate him. Shane and Godfrey had brought him up to speed on all that transpired and he kept insisting he was to blame in some fashion for not having a security detail and allowing himself to be caught. It was all we could do to reassure him that we were all to blame. I felt I was more so than anyone. Apparently this attack had been decades in the making. Ash was just an innocent bystander, but as not only a Shadow but also a councilor he knew the risks. Doe
~Meadow’s Point of View~ *Are you happy now,* I whined, scolding Coral. She didn’t answer, but instead played like she was asleep. Jerk! This was now the third night I’d been in the mountains with my mate, and while I’d felt the heat mostly subside a few hours ago we still couldn’t keep our hands off each other. I was beyond exhausted and not at all sure my legs would work. “And that position was called the hill but since I can levitate us I can actually hit you from underneath with a bit of acrobatics,” Ben said, running his fingers over my butt. I laid breathless, my head in a pillow, totally spent. I just wanted to sleep for a couple days, how the hell did he have this kind of stamina?? I mean he practically died just a few days ago! *Males always make an effort when it comes to their release,* Coral said, yawning. I had no doubt that was the absolute truth. When I had said I wanted to spend time in the coven’s library learning, I hadn’t realized I already had my own personal
~Ben’s Point of View~ It was obvious my little love wasn’t yet capable or able to express herself in words when it came to sex, but her body told a different story. The fact that Meadow was still so shy, so bashful could not have possibly been a bigger turn on. If I could get her to the point where she talked dirty to me, I’d be coming in my pants just by her words. All the women in my life had always been so daring, so sure of themselves. Her sweet innocence, her timid nature and her untouched body was all too much. I felt as though I had split personalities … on the one hand I wanted to be her fierce protector, the macho male who puffs out his chest and kills a spider in the bathroom just to be her hero. Then fuck her relentlessly to further stake my claim and beat my chest. On the other hand, I wanted to sing the songs of love and make sweet love to her for hours on end. I’d serenade her in Greek, as the words of love just sounded better than in English… I’d make her dinner and t
~Meadow’s Point of View~ “She must die, she’s lied to us all for decades. She’s kept you from Georgia, and Little Ben was just…” Sebastian trailed off. Coral shivered, remembering our brief time with the boy. He was so hopeful, curious. Yet he knew his days were numbered, how depressing. There was too much having us all on edge, especially since we were waiting for word about my father. Clearly I didn’t have the same attachment to Athena as everyone else, as her own son would. But if this was how he felt about it… Our eyes darted to Ben. “Fifty years of banishment, then we reconsider. Give her the same courtesy she gave to me,” he finally said. Numerous others murmured in agreement. “On the matter of Georgia I’m not as easily able to decide. We’re going to give her a chance to prove herself. I believe we define ourselves on the decisions we make and while some … have to be made in the blink of an eye, they can still very much have very real consequences. Georgia has lost, she ha
~Ben’s Point of View~ I was certain I’d missed a hell of a lot while I was knocked out, but there was no time for trips down memory lane. No time to address the pain that still wracked my body. The reek of the venom that was still radiating from my pores. The fact that my mate smells of pure arousal, and was laying on top of me in her panties with my blood on her hands. Definitely need more of an explaination on that. Everyone is depending on me, I have to do this. It has to work. I briefly said a prayer to the Goddess that we often ask her to pass on to through our ancestors. To draw on their power when we need it. Then I began the spell as I recalled it, hoping like hell it worked. Katrina and Cleo came to either side of me, and we locked arms. Sebastian should be here, even Athena’s strength would be good. But no time now. Just as I had that thought Georgia appeared in front of me and got between Katrina and I. Her scent immediately calmed me, it was what helped my younger self
