~Lilly’s Point of View~ I’d been out all afternoon picking flowers with Grammy while my mom and Daisy made dinner. It was a dream, everything I’d ever wanted. Well it would be more perfect if my men were here, grilling something or playing soccer. I’d have it all soon, I thought. I looked out into the field and wondered if we’d all stay here, raise our pups here. Surely the house was too small, I realized. We hadn’t been here together a whole lot but the house had such perfect memories for me already and I didn’t want to give it up. “It’s going to be dark in a few minutes, we should head back,” Chance said. He looked ridiculous, I had put a couple flowers behind his ears and he was holding several others. I didn’t know much about him still but if you didn’t know he was a nice guy he’d be quite intimidating. He was just as tall as my triplets, very muscular and bald, with almost purple eyes. He seemed majestic in a way, a majestic warrior, I decided. Grammy and I were skipping, h
~Godfrey’s Point of View~ Who did this dog think he was? No one escapes me, no one … escapes the justice of the council. I would hunt this piece of shit shifter to the end of the earth if that’s what it took. The very idea that Gunner could keep escaping us was the most infuriating thing. I dashed to where the she-wolves were being held and demanded that two be brought to me. “Tell me about your pack, why are they housing Alpha Gunner,” I said to the two women. They looked at me and growled, and I didn’t have time for this nonsense. Pat the she-wolf from headquarters stepped forward, sensing my anger. “It’s okay he’s not going to hurt you, you have to tell him what you know,” Pat said. They continued to scowl but knew what Pat said was true. “My name is Olivia, I’m mated to a warrior named Colin, please don’t kill him,” she begged. “I can’t promise anything, if he fights for Gunner,” I said plainly. “Alpha Gunner came to us promising to expand the pack, which we desperately n
~Hunter’s Point of View~ “Baby, are you okay, where are you hurt,” I said, picking up my Lilly and holding her. “Mostly just scratches, Gunner wouldn’t let them really hurt me but I was still trying to get a few swipes in,” she said, with a smile. “Even though I told her ass to run,” Chance said, wincing as Angel began assessing his wounds. “They would have just loved the chase, I didn’t see the point,” she defended herself. “Chance man, we owe you the biggest favor imaginable, thank you so much,” River said, kissing Lilly’s cheek. Lilly pulled back from River and threw her hands in the air. “Oh no! Mom, Grammy, Daisy and Sunny were left back at the house ... are they okay,” Lilly said, panting and out of breath. My heart stopped, not even realizing that we did leave them there. Surely someone had checked on them, or the fairy stayed with them? “What happened to Max,” I demanded. “The Beta snapped his neck, nothing I could do. I couldn’t help anyone else, Lilly was my only c
~Lilly’s Point of View~ I hugged everyone and said good night. I knew everyone was just as exhausted and desperate to sleep as I was. I had no idea where they were putting everyone up but I just couldn’t think about it right now. I felt horribly selfish about that but I just needed some time to myself, and a shower. I wanted to say thank you to Max for his bravery and sacrifice, but they’d already taken his body away. I decided I would pray about it later. I did check on Chance and between getting some vampire blood and Katrina taking care of him, he was already more than half healed. Apparently he’d really fought about taking the vampire blood but he had internal bleeding, a shattered collarbone and a dislocated shoulder just to name a few injuries. I felt like anything else just had to wait until tomorrow. “The shower is all yours baby,” Hunter said, as he walked out of the bathroom. “Need any help,” Skyler asked, already clean as well. I laughed. “No, I’m good but I’ll see
~Lilly's Point of View~ I was dressed in one of my most conservative dresses, which wasn't saying much since it still looked like Sunny was in full control of my closet. Now that I had my mates I wanted my body to only be for their eyes and I was going to need an entirely new wardrobe. Skyler was already chomping at the bit to take me to the mall and I knew he’d make me visit the lingerie store. Dusk constantly flirted with Violet and it was like a war going on in my head. I couldn’t believe what a horny toad Violet was and she didn’t give up easily. Even if I could convince Dusk to behave a bit, she’d just start up with Hawk or Buck. I had no idea what all to expect from today’s proceedings, but I overheard someone say they were knocking out all kinds of issues in court today since they’d been tied up too long with Gunner. The guys were all working so they weren’t in here, but I was sitting with their parents, my parents and Ridge. Godfrey appeared in some silly and ridiculou
~Lilly's Point of View~ “Next is the matter of Alpha Evan and Beta William from the Black Creek Pack,” Fiona the council witch said. I didn’t really know her at all, and I wondered what she even did, it didn’t seem like they gave her very much responsibility. I stared at the two men, they were very rough looking and they were definitely wolves you didn’t want to run into alone out in the woods. “Alpha Evan and Beta William, you are accused of aiding and abetting war crimes, harboring a known fugitive, and open treason for defying the council during wartime, what say you,” Fiona asked. “You all can fuck right off,” the Beta said. Godfrey snorted and I clenched Ridge’s hand. This was bad. This would end badly. “Alpha Evan, do you share your friend’s sentiments,” Dina asked. “Yeah fuck you, old ass bitch,” he said. In what can only be described as a burst of light and energy, a flash left Dina’s hand and hit the Alpha right in the heart, setting him ablaze. The Alpha let out a
~Lilly's Point of View~ “Next I wish to address Fiona,” Godfrey said. All eyes turned to the witch, who looked surprised, or maybe she was just pretending to be. “Godfrey,” she asked, in a questioning manner. “I hear everything that goes on in my house eventually Fiona. There are far too many rumors for my liking. There are many who believe you were aiding Kai. Once he went missing there was still information getting out that could only have been leaked by someone still here. I’ve also had various telepaths following you for a while and I am not at all pleased with what they have reported,” Godfrey accused. I grasped Skyler’s hand hard and I involuntarily shook. What would they do to her? A door opened and every single head in the room turned to see warlock Ben. I looked back at Fiona and she was completely expressionless, and almost as if in a frozen state. “I have no choice but to immediately suspend your seat on the council. Ben is already in the process of putting a removal
~Lilly's Point of View~ “This one, try this one for me,” Skyler said, holding up a scrap piece of lace fabric that probably wouldn’t even cover one of my huge boobs. “It’s already a piece of scrap and you would just claw it off me and have it shredded in a second anyhow,” I said, quite seriously. “The thrill is in the chase, come on pllllease,” he said, whining. We had been in the mall shopping for over two hours and I was beat. I was coming up on nearly three months pregnant, which in human terms was nearly half way there. “Baby, I love your growing body so fucking much, huge boobs and a perfect ass, obviously you know I can’t get enough,” Skyler said, bending down to kiss my belly. I quickly looked around to make sure no one heard him, he had no filter no matter where we were. A foot kicked just where his mouth had been and I instinctively put my hand over it and smiled. “See! He agrees with daddy, mommy is hot stuff,” Skyler said, wiggling his eyebrows. Violet growled a

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
