~Ben’s Point of View~

I’d just had a huge fight with Sebby and I’d been pacing so hard I was going to wear a hole in the deck of my vacation home. I’d gone back to help with bedtime last night at the coven and most of my wives wouldn’t even speak to me.

Some of the older kids were excited, they thought it meant more exposure. More chances for them to get out and see the world, meet more people … meet shifters. Potentially find their own mates.

I called a family meeting two nights ago, where I told my wives and children everything. You’d think Moses had parted the damn sea, half were furious with me and half furious with my mate. I didn’t give her name, but they’d probably figure it out or hear it eventually.

Katrina and Angel were supposed to be making sure there was extra protection around Meadow, they were going to meet with her tonight and spell her. Since it was obvious she didn’t want anything to do with me. I should absolutely be the one caring for her, but that would of co

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ “You’re out of your damn mind, absolutely not,” I snapped, staring up at my father. “This isn’t up for discussion. The council decided, it’s done,” my father said, running a hand through his hair in frustration. My eyes flicked to my mom who was livid. Coral and I had blocked her wolf out hours ago, she was acting possessed. I couldn’t take it. Sky’s wolf was the same, just wouldn’t shut up. Everyone’s got their damn opinions. It was nearly dark and we were all still stuck at Ben’s vacation home. More kept showing up, Shadows and their families who were too afraid to go home. Who were these damn witches that they could wield this kind of power? Making everyone crazy and paranoid? Yes I wasn’t at all happy my parents were attacked, that many acres of our property were destroyed. But we were all alive. This is the damn council! The ones who are supposed to be absolutely unbreakable! The ones who instill fear not cower from it! Goddess I sound like Godfrey

    ~Ben’s Point of View~ I wasn’t at all sure how the hell Sebby agreed to let nearly a hundred people come into the coven to stay, but I wasn’t about to argue. I knew we were a safe place, but it would be a lot of mouths to feed, a lot of potential clashes having so many different creatures move in. I had certainly never allowed demons or fae of any sort. While they were likely the next closest supernatural creature to a witch, there was always jealousy and animosity there. I saw it even with Angel and Dina. Kind of pissing contest if you will. Many in my coven only ever lived amongst other witches. While we are basically considered human by most supernatural creatures, low on the totem pole so to speak, we of course thought rather highly of ourselves. I had to look at it as gaining a great favor with the council, which was always a plus. Making a good impression with Ash certainly of all people was suddenly high on my list of priorities even if he personally was staying at headquarte

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ *This is an awfully dangerous game you’re playing,* Coral warned, as I continued to kiss Ben. It was gentle, not eager or demanding. Not like the stupid males my own age who just wanted to shove their tongue down my throat and grab me everywhere. When I could actually get a guy near me that was, which was rare. I thought it was maybe my fifth kiss ever, but suddenly I couldn’t exactly remember the others. Going to an all girls school means you don’t exactly get many opportunities. Being the youngest Black means few males would even go near me. The way Ben held me, how careful he was, how he slightly moaned even though our kiss was pretty PG rated … it was completely overwhelming me. While our mouths opened and maybe our tongues touched a bit, they didn’t go too far. My entire body was lit up, Coral was too even though she was being weird. She didn’t want me to kiss him but she didn’t want me to stop either. I was willing to bet we were going on nearly five

    ~Ben’s Point of View~ My little love was curious indeed and while I loved to torture her, the universe had other plans. Meadow and I had only been alone for mere moments, but I had been trying to take advantage of every second. I did what Chance had told me to do, I sort of rubbed my nose and my breath along her neck. I nibbled a bit at her ear, eliciting a moan that went right to my-- “Meadow? Enjoying the view,” I heard, as I silently cursed. Vampires are the natural enemy of literally any creature but knowing that I was holding on to this one’s little sister was definitely unnerving. I literally never felt out of place in my own home. Felt like someone, something else could overpower me. But a baby vampire? Completely unpredictable, completely reckless. Has she fed already tonight? I fucking hope so. “Evening Sunny,” I said, dropping my arms and turning to give her a small smile. She raised her perfectly manicured eyebrow. “I was certainly curious how this little situation

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ The coven’s library was in a building separate from the house, it seemed ancient much like the tower where Sebastian worked. Needless to say, sound traveled since there was really no insulation. I heard everything Ben and my mom said, even from the door that led outside. *I know what mom said, but we talked about it. We decided,* Coral insisted. The thought had crossed my mind several times before mom said it. Between Sky and Shane basically mocking Ben’s lifestyle and how Lilly and even my own mom gushed over him. That he was that handsome and irresistible even happily mated females couldn’t help but feel lust for him. How could he possibly turn down beautiful women throwing themselves at him? Especially ones that were used to being intimate with him? I found myself walking along the beach, dog tired but there was just too much on my mind to shut it all off. There were still some groups of people around, mostly my age, maybe a bit older. There were a coup

    ~Ben’s Point of View~ Everything in my being told me it was a very stupid idea to bring Meadow to my bedroom, but she asked and who was I to turn her down? I sure as hell didn’t want to be apart from her. I’d given her a big black t-shirt and I was sitting on the edge of the bed nervously waiting for her to change. I very rarely saw my wives in my own room, I’d visit theirs. I liked my space and my privacy when I could get it, since it was rare. But with my mate, all I wanted was her succulent light fruity scent all over every inch of my space. All over me. It killed me not to know what she was thinking, what the hell did Tobias say to her? Whatever it was, I’d certainly have to thank him later. I wasn’t going to expend the energy necessary to try and mind-link him but I doubted he’d be able to intercept it yet anyhow, we were still working on that. My thoughts were interrupted when my little love emerged, complete with a yawn. I rose and quickly pulled back the covers for her. “

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ It had been two days since the island was attacked, and I hadn’t heard a thing from Ben. All of my brothers were gone as well, which meant I was on baby duty, helping Lilly. My mom was always off who knows where, helping the wives with whatever. Not that I wanted to see her, we weren’t exactly on speaking terms. “Jett, where’s your brother,” I asked, as it seemed I’d lost one of the two year olds. Who the hell could keep track? I’d put them all in matching shirts, trying to make sure I kept them separate from the Greeks. Although with their bright blonde hair it was kind of easy. I heard a snicker and turned around. One of the teenage girls was laughing at me while another girl was making gestures with her hands. I gave them both my best nasty glare. I then turned and followed their line of sight and saw Orion hanging upside down about three feet above my head. He didn’t look like he was enjoying it. How long had he been up there?? *Get him down,* Coral

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ “You Shadows! Always some shit … that’s why I don’t mess with you. Why I tried to take a break while you had your stupid Christmas party but oh no I could’t even enjoy that. Had to come back to deal with this shit. Tell you what blondie, there’s a guardian in the tower named Zeno who can let her in if he’s properly persuaded,” Sebastian said, disappearing. “Oh that fool! Always so prissy. Worse than a woman. He’s probably on his period,” Valaria scoffed. I smiled and shook my head. I went to take a step forward and jumped again, my heart nearly stopping. Valaria let out a hiss and I immediately grabbed her arm. “It’s my sister,” I shouted, letting her know not to do anything crazy. *Why does everyone have to give us a flipping heart attack tonight! I mean really,* Coral said, beside herself. I was getting there myself but Sunny I always had to excuse, she still just didn’t understand normal movements. “Ohh what’s this place! Lights with colors!

    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

  • The Triplet Warriors and Their Pup Mate(Shadow Warrior Series)   52 - We Are The Fight

    ~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
