Axel was being a show-off and there wasn’t much I could do about it, even if I wanted to. He strutted around in front of his injured enemy, showing that even though he had several deep cuts and his back and ass hurt from falls, he wasn’t that bad off.
Some random people in the crowd started yelling for Orion to submit, but I think it just egged him on. He finally got to his feet, blood soaked his shoulder and chest. He let out a massive growl and Axel just cocked his head to the side as if asking, “is that the best you can do?”
Orion swooped his big hands down, trying to scoop us up but Axel jumped out of the way. This went on for several minutes before Godfrey chimed in.
“Come on now, we hardly want to see you just try to pick him up and throw him,” he said, mocking Orion.
The crowd applauded in agre
~Three days later~~Livia’s Point of View~“So this is my office,” I said, more excited than was truly necessary.I walked in first with Tyson just behind me, holding onto my right hand.“And here’s where I spent most of my life,” I said, reaching forward and touching my desk.It was just as I’d left it, a tidy mess. Several stacks of paperwork, waiting for attention. I actually missed it. Of course I missed it, there was a very real chance I would have lost it all. Lost my identity.Suddenly big hands gripped my waist and whirled me around. I was lifted up and deposited on my desk as Tyson stepped between my legs, forcing them apart. H
Hey everyone, I hope you are doing well! I just wanted to leave a note and let you know that I am working on book four which is Ben's story ... The Warlock and His She-Wolf. I have been stuck a bit on the direction of this book for some time, and then for many months got too wrapped up in other ideas. If you have not already read Alpha Ridge that is a spin-off of my Shadow Series. It features Tyson's sister Tyra and Ridge who is Lilly's brother. There are lots of Shadows that make appearances and help on their adventure. Please make sure you leave the Triplet's book in your library so you will receive updates, I will begin posting the fourth book around mid-July. The book will be attached to this one just as books two and three had been. Thank you as always for reading! xOxOxO ~Saree Bee
~Meadow’s Point of View~ Christmas Eve on a private beach in Greece, sitting around a fire with some of my girlfriends … could life possibly get any better? We were staying here a couple of days, a lot of the Shadows were completely wasted and it was likely the parties would just continue. For once I wasn't stuck babysitting. “I totally dreamed I was going to meet my mate on New Year’s Eve and with all the males around here, who knows, it might happen,” Alice said, her eyes sparkling in the light of the fire. “I would die if I could take one of these Greek hotties home,” Brittani swooned. I plopped down in the sand, putting my hands in front of the fire. It wasn’t too cold outside, but it wasn’t summer certainly. Wolves were naturally warm anyhow but the fire felt nice with the slight breeze. Of course I dreamed every second of the day about meeting my mate but it wasn’t the only thing on my mind. I was trying to help get involved with the Shadows, which my parents encouraged. I’d
~Ben’s Point of View~ Sunny’s words rang out in my head like a five alarm fire. But it wasn’t the fact that headquarters was bombed. It really should be. “Dad ordered me to get her to safety.” As in, they have the same father? A flash appeared before me and my wife Calista immediately sighed, as if relieved. “I have been looking for you everywhere! I don’t know what is going on, most of the Shadows left like a breeze. The kids are all up and we’re desperately struggling, please come help settle them,” she begged, and disappeared. I grunted and ran my hand through my hair. I’d just cut it, very short and still wasn’t used to it. I was usually home for bedtime each night, it wasn’t at all fair to my wives to do it alone. With so many kids sometimes they woke each other up and you had to do all more than once. But… Meadow … Black? That’s who she is? My mind raced, immediately comparing the two and then thinking about Daisy’s similar hair and eyes. Shit. Meadow Black is my mat
~Meadow’s Point of View~ Apparently coming to my brothers’ house was what Sunny meant by keeping me safe. I currently had two kids attached to my legs, and another one screaming somewhere, making me deaf. Christmas morning in the Black house is really not my preference. I mean, I want kids but other people’s kids … even my nieces and nephews are just too much. They’re painfully loud and think they have no rules. Of course they’re all spoiled to death, there were toys and wrapping paper littered everywhere. Some even on the porch. My parents had already come and gone so they weren’t here to help with the aftermath. Poor Lilly gave up and hid in the tent in the corner of the living room with her coffee. I was jealous but she deserved a break. It was mid-morning and now the kids were starting to feel the effects of missing a couple hours of sleep from waking before dawn. Wherefore art thou nap time? I was literally always stuck babysitting, but now that I was getting more involved
~Ben’s Point of View~ It was literally impossible for me to listen to Shane carrying on, not with Meadow pacing on the porch. She was quite obviously waiting for me to speak to her, and I was gonna be damned if I ignored her and made her feel insignificant. But how the hell could I get her alone and not make it obvious? Going inside was out of the question. I could hear Skyler’s voice and several children. I couldn’t “out” our secret without her consent. Without her knowing, everything. “So the family is all good,” he asked, with obvious concern. “Yeah, a few issues but overall locked up tight. Called in a couple vampires we trust to do perimeter checks at night just outside the portal. Gives the…” I paused abruptly as Meadow sat on a swing. I caught a foul odor of rotten food. Had she been sick? I’d felt a bit sick a few minutes ago when I was thinking about her and that was partly why I came, although I was looking to talk to the triplets. I thought being Christmas morning they
~Meadow’s Point of View~ I’d really never had to feel nervous about anything in my life. Three huge brothers to protect me, a loud as hell sister to butt her nose in. And most recently, a father who is a councilor. I might as well have bubble wrap around myself. But none of them could protect my heart, my sanity. I never imagined I’d need protection from my mate. From his WIVES. Ben teleported us into the front yard of my parents’ house. I immediately only picked up one heartbeat inside, only my mom. I sighed and took a deep breath. Okay, so maybe this won’t be so bad. Yet. When we got to the door Ben paused, looking nervous. “You’re not a vampire you don’t have to wait for permission do you,” I said, kind of showing my snotty self. My age. Oh well. “If I’d known we were coming to see Daisy I would have dressed better, oh wait,” he said, as a vase of daisies appeared in his hands making me jump. “Pretty cool huh,” he said, winking. I made a face, a bit unsure. But I shook
~Ben’s Point of View~ “What the hell are you doing? You can’t just disappear for two days not with all this crazy shit going on,” I heard, as the sun suddenly blasted into the room. I pulled a blanket over my head and ignored the rude awakening. Well, I hadn’t slept. How could I possibly? A series of clinking and groans filled the air as Sebby likely cleaned up some of the empty liquor bottles strewn all over the house. My entire body hurt, felt close to paralysis but there wasn’t anything in the world that could help it. No amount of liquor, no drug. “Is this about that wolf,” I heard, making me leap out of the bed and fly right at his stupid face with my fist. He caught me, and kicked me into the wall. I hit with a huge thud, knocking a painting off. I didn’t even bother trying to catch myself, levitate so I wouldn’t hit the floor. Physical pain was already crippling my body. What's a little more? “She rejected me,” I whispered, barely able to still believe it. By the time I

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
