Third Person's POV Ezra aimlessly walks the halls of the coven. The soon-to-be vampire King keeps playing the scenes of their last raid over and over again in his head. He's trying to figure out where he went wrong. Even though they had guns with bullets laced with poison, it should have never been a problem for the soon-to-be vampire King. He thought he was too smart, too fast, and too strong… but he wasn't…Those thoughts plague his mind, and he has aimlessly roamed the halls for the past few hours. It's a myth that vampires sleep during the day and can't walk in the sun. Most of the coven is asleep, except those on night shifts and ones on opposite sleep schedules. Ezra's fist clenched tighter as he remembered the moment they began to lose control. He remembers feeling the bullets piercing his body, but that wasn't what bothered him. It was seeing all the bullets piercing his brother's body before he fell backward into a room and out of view. Ezra had never been so scared in his
Third Person's POV Ezra wakes up and is surprised when he feels a body cuddled against him. The King opens his eyes and looks to his left to see Nathan's head resting on his arm. The hybrid's arms and legs are wrapped around him, tangled with his own. It was a strange sight and a strange feeling, one he wasn't used to. He's never woken up with anyone in his bed before, not even Dylan. Ezra looks around, trying to figure out the best way to get out of this. What they had last night was passionate, but he never spent the night with them or allowed them to spend the night with him. It's one of his rules, so they don't get too attached.He cares about the Omegas but cannot commit to one person. He knows about mates and that they may have one, and he may have one, but for him, it's not a guarantee. Ezra is a young, full-blooded vampire. His sex drive is at its highest peak. All born Vampires go through this phase. When they're first born, feeding from someone is not a sexual experience.
Third Person's POV Nathan felt uncomfortable walking through the pack house. Everyone seemed to be looking at him, some curious and others with an unpleasant expression. They looked at him as though they hated him, and he had no idea why. The hateful glares he was receiving caused the Omega hybrid to move closer to Ezra. The King looked down when Nathan grabbed his arm and tucked himself against his side. Ezra lifted his arm and wrapped it around the Omega.“You have nothing to fear here. I have known these people my entire life; they're good people.” Ezra said he caressed the Omega’s arm. Nathan glanced around again and quickly looked away when he saw a female glaring at him.“I don't think they like me,” he said quietly, and Ezra raised an eyebrow in question. Ezra lifted his head and let his eyes roam the room they were walking through, and almost immediately, he saw why Nathan was scared. His eyes narrowed, and his jaw clenched before forcing a link open to everyone in the room
Third Person's POV Ezra tucked Nathan under his right arm while grabbing his brother. The very next moment, the floor disappeared beneath their feet. Almost immediately, grass appeared under their feet, and the sound of people laughing rang out. Nathan gasped and hid under Ezra's arm when he saw a dragon in the yard and a wolf fighting it. Nathan sucked in a breath, shocked when he realized the wolf fighting the dragon was an Omega, and no one was helping him.Nathan looked at Ezra, expecting him to help the Omega, but he seemed unfazed by the situation. The hybrid frantically looked around, looking for another solution, but he didn't see one.Nathan quickly turned around and tugged on Ezra's shirt. “Please help him. Don't let the dragon hurt the Omega,” Nathan pleaded, and he was confused when Ezra's lips curled up in a smile. The king pulled Nathan against him and leaned down, kissing the top of his head. “You are too cute!” Ezra said, only confusing the Omega more. “That's a y
Third Person's POV He was so small and light in his arms as he carried him through the pack house and up the stairs. The Omega remained limp in his arms as he cried. Coal didn't speak a word as he walked down the hall and pushed his door open. He walked through his bedroom and into the bathroom, where he placed the Omega on the counter. Nathan sniffled as he looked around to see where they were and was confused to see they were in a bathroom. The bear shifter remained silent as he turned the bathtub on and began filling it. He left the room, and the knots in Omega's stomach grew tighter. A few moments later, the large bear returned and set clothes on the counter. He continued moving throughout the bathroom without speaking a word.Nathan couldn't tell if he was still mad. He couldn't feel his anger like earlier, but he seemed angry. A clean, fresh scent began filling the room as Coal poured soap into the bathtub as it filled, and bubbles immediately began to form. Nathan wiped his
Third Person's POV Nathan sat at the counter, tugging his fingers as he watched Coal move through the kitchen. Soft music played quietly in the background which Nathan was thankful for. It made it less awkward. “W-What is your name?” Nathan's soft voice cut through the silence, and Coal froze. His head lifted from the green onions he was chopping, and he turned to look at his mate. “My name is Coal. What is your name?” Nathan's heart skipped a beat when he heard his mate's name. He thought it sounded so strong and fitting for his large muscular physique. The man was a beast! You didn't have to smell that he was a bear shifter to know it. His large, muscular body was a dead giveaway. “My name is Nathan,” He said, and Coal's lips tugged up.“Nathan, I like it! It's cute, just like you," he said, and Nathan swooned. “I'm sorry, it's nothing special. I know how to cook, but I need to fill the fridge… and probably the rest of the kitchen,” Coal said as he looked back toward his kitche
Third Person's POV Coal sat on the bed with his phone open, replying to what seemed like endless emails. At least one was an email he’d been waiting for, and it showed that he aced his last exam, and his final exam was in a week. The Alpha is excited and can't wait to finally be done with school.When the bathroom door opened, Coal raised his head from his phone to see Nathan walking out of the bathroom while struggling to keep his pants up. Coal chuckled as he stood and approached his mate. Nathan blushed when Coal knelt in front of him and lifted his shirt. “Hold this,” Coal said. Nathan's stomach fluttered when Coal's fingers brushed against his stomach as he untied the sweatpants before pulling them tighter and tying them. Coal gently pulled the shirt from Nathan's fingers and let it fall over his sweatpants. The Alpha chuckled when the shirt hung past his knees. “I suppose we'll need to take you back to the coven to pick up your clothes,” Coal said, and Nathan's eyes widened.
Third Person's POV The sound of Ezra screaming in agony rings out through the coven when Lexon's black mist begins to form in the foyer. Seconds later, Lexon and Aero appear with Evelyn and Grayson, who struggle to hold it together as they look at Ezra with three metal rods through his torso and one which missed his heart by a hair. The king could barely stand. There was so much poison coursing through his body he was barely conscious. If it wasn't for the excruciating pain keeping him awake, he would be out cold. “Damn it! We were due to get another supply of the antidote in a week. You idiots couldn't hold off for one more damn week, could you?!” Lexon scolded, and Ezra screamed at the top of his lungs when the Elder yanked the first rod from his stomach. The king had never felt so much pain before. With his vampire abilities practically non-existent, Ezra was feeling pain like a human would. Everyone looked up at the sound of feet rushing toward them. Ezra's eyes locked with Sil
Third Person's POV Grayson sat in the hall with Sebastian, waiting for his dad to give birth. He couldn't wait to find out if he was getting a little brother or a little sister. Everyone looked toward the door when they heard Julian yell. “I don't need more pillows, damn it!” Julian yelled when Reid tried to stick the last pillow behind his back. It looked like the Alpha built a fort around Julian. He insisted his mate needed more pillows, so he went through all the empty rooms and took every pillow he could find.Julian finally snapped when Reid tried to stick a fourth pillow behind his back. The Omega yelled as he chucked the pillow at Reid. The nurse giggled, and the doctor laughed as they began digging Julian out.“Never a dull day when an Alpha’s mate goes into labor!” The nurse giggled, and Reid blushed as he scratched the back of his neck. Reid looked at his mate and tilted his head. The gears in his brain were turning as he tried to figure out what he could do differently.
Third Person's POV Julian made it to the end of his Grayson and Sebastian's kiss before he could no longer hide it, and water began running down his legs. The contractions began as soon as Reid passed the title to their son. The Omega was already overdue. The stress on his body from losing the position as Luna triggered labor. Becoming an Alpha or Luna makes you stronger. But when you pass it on to someone else, it makes you weaker, putting your strength to what it once was.When an Alpha transfers the title, it automatically strips the Luna of their title. The only time this doesn't happen is if their mate dies and a new Alpha isn't in power. As soon as a new Alpha takes the position it strips the current Luna from their position. As soon as Julian was stripped of his title, his body became weaker, making him no longer able to carry the baby any further, triggering labor. They were both prepared for it, and the doctor was already on standby. Reid heard Julian gasp before he heard
Third Person's POV There are so many people there, way more than Sebastian expected. The submissive Delta 3 had never seen so many people gathered in one place. His nerves were through the roof; he couldn't stop fiddling with his fingers or chewing on his lip. He was scared. He wants to be brave. He wants to be strong for Grayson, but he's not sure he can. There's just too many people. He can smell the Alphas in the crowd, and it terrifies him. His muscles twitch, begging him to kneel. How embarrassing would that be? The Delta thought. To drop down and kneel like a pet right there on stage in front of everyone. What kind of Luna would he be? He hears Xavier speaking to their people before Damien takes the microphone and gives his speech. When the Beta is finished, the Alpha of Midnight Moon Pack, the Alpha King, steps forward and takes the microphone.His strong voice rings out, reaching far across the crowd as he speaks. Alpha Reid stands on stage tall and proud, looking out at his
Third Person's POV Darien stood in the closet, buttoning his shirt. His mind raced with all the different scenarios of things that could go wrong. He tried not to think of it but couldn't stop his thoughts from racing.What if they didn't like him? What if they hated the fact he was a submissive Alpha and thought he wasn't good enough for their brother? His thoughts spiraled out of control. He had just finished buttoning the last one and gasped when Wyatt suddenly appeared behind him. His strong chest crashed against his back as his arms quickly wrapped around him. Darien smiled as he tilted his head, giving his Alpha access to his neck, which he quickly accepted. Wyatt buried his face against his skin, nuzzling and kissing him.“You're right, maybe we shouldn't go. Maybe we should just lay in bed and snuggle all night. I'm having withdrawals; I need to drown myself in you,” Wyatt's voice was muffled with his lips pressed against his mate's neck. Darien's heart fluttered when the Al
Third Person's POV Grayson's laptop was long forgotten on the little table next to him. The Alpha lies on his side in the daybed, staring at his mate. He loves the Delta's smooth, pale skin and the way his dark, straight hair lies against his forehead. He loves how he chews on his lip while he reads and tilts his head when he doesn't understand something. He loves the time they are spending together, quietly sitting beside each other outside on the balcony, sharing the silence. “So… My job wouldn't be to fight for our people?” Sebastian's soft voice broke the silence. Grayson's heart swelled when he called them “our” people.“No. Your job as Luna is to make sure everyone who cannot fight gets to safety in the event of an attack. We have several bunkers. Normally, we use the two bunkers in the basement of the pack house. In extreme cases, we use the large one under the field beside the pack house, but we haven't used it in a long time. That one is big enough that everyone in the pack
Third Person's POV “I can't be a Luna; I'm just a Delta 3. All I know is how to be a pet. I don't even know how to be your mate,” Sebastian told Grayson before Ezra went to take down Luther. The book Sebastian was reading suddenly goes flying as Grayson grabs him from the sofa chair and falls back against the couch, wrapping him tightly in his arms. Sebastian laughs as Grayson buries his face in his neck, and his light stubble tickles his sensitive skin.Grayson's heart swells; Sebastian's laughter is music to his ears. He takes a deep breath in of the Delta 3's incredibly sweet scent, and his chest rumbles in satisfaction. The sound coming from his Alpha sends a shiver down Sebastian's spine. “I was studying,” Sebastian said, biting his lip when he felt Grayson's warm breath fan his neck. “It was taking too long! I feel neglected,” Grayson mumbled against his neck, and Sebastian's stomach fluttered. The Delta 3 pulled his head back and looked at Grayson. “I didn't mean to negl
Third Person's POV Ezra has been standing outside Lexon's door for several minutes, trying to get the courage to go in. He reaches up to knock on the door but pulls his hand back and exhales, letting his hand drop to his side. Ezra hangs his head as he turns to walk away, but the door suddenly opens. “Leaving so soon?” Lexon said, and Ezra slowly turned to face him. When Ezra looked at Lexon, he was relieved to see how well he looked. His skin looked completely normal, and his hair was just past his ears. “You look good,” Ezra said as he moved closer. He reached for Lexon's hair but paused when he saw Aero standing a few feet behind Lexon. “Come on in,” Lexon said as he stepped aside. Ezra swallowed before entering Lexon's room. When he entered the foyer, Aero turned and walked back into his brother's bedroom. Lexon nudged his head for Ezra to follow, and he did. As he entered the Elder’s bedroom, he found Jace sitting on the bed, watching a movie while crocheting. Jace looked
Third Person's POV Jace was concerned when Lexon slept the rest of the day, through the night, and into the following day.He was relieved when his brother-in-law knocked on the door late afternoon. Jace grabbed Aero's hand and quickly dragged him to their bed, where Lexon lay asleep. “Should I wake him? He hasn't woken up since he came home. I tried to give him blood, but he said he was too tired and needed a nap. That was yesterday! He hasn't woken up yet! Should I wake him?” Jace said as he tugged at his fingers, looking between his mate and brother-in-law. Aero wrapped his right arm around Jace and ruffled his hair.“He's okay. He was just exhausted. His body is working overtime to heal his body. Your skin is the largest organ in your body. He was burned from head to toe. 100% of his skin was burned off. I can tell the difference already. His skin is no longer transparent, and his hair is beginning to grow. See, look,” Aero said as he pointed to the stubble growing on Lexon's he
Third Person's POV Darien was excited but nervous. It was not only the first time he'd cooked in two years but also the first time he'd cooked for Wyatt. Wyatt's nose immediately flared as he entered the apartment. His eyes darted around as he closed the door and didn't stop until they landed on Darien. His eyes moved from Darien to the kitchen table, and his lips parted. For a moment, Wyatt is unable to move or speak. His lack of movement makes Darien even more nervous, and realizes he made a mistake. “I, I can make something else if you don't like spaghetti and meatballs. I, I should have asked you first if you liked it. I can whip something else up,” Darien said as he picked up his plate and Wyatt's. Wyatt was beside him instantly and took the plates from his hands. He set them down before grabbing Darien's waist with his left hand and pulling the smaller Alpha toward him. “I love spaghetti! I was just surprised that you did this for me. I wasn't expecting it,” Wyatt said soft
