Third Person's POV Luke felt incredibly awkward with this man who claimed they were mates, sleeping on the couch in his parents' living room. Every time he was home, he couldn't escape his intense gaze. It caused his heart to palpitate and butterflies to dance in his stomach. Every time he sees the man, he wants to climb in his lap and bury his face and his neck… It was a strange feeling, and he didn't like it.Once he was certain Benjamin was in the bathroom, Luke snuck out of his room. He took that opportunity and sprinted down the hall before quickly leaving the apartment. The Omega didn't stop until he was banging on his best friend's door. Rose smiled as she opened the door and stepped back, allowing the Omega to burst inside their apartment. It's become a habit of Luke's for the past two weeks.Luke burst into Joey's room and shrieked before backing out and closing the door behind him. Rose looked down the hall in concern before she started giggling when she realized what happ
Third Person's POVRose gasped when the front door opened, and she saw her son in tears. “Joey! What's wrong, baby?” Rose asked as she jumped to her feet and ran to her son. She immediately noticed the way he was holding his right arm. As Luke explained what happened, Rose moved Joey's left hand away and gasped when she saw the large ugly bruise on his wrist. An angry growl vibrated behind Rose when Nick saw the large bruise on his son's arm. “That idiot thought he was in there trying to watch them. I don't know how he could be so stupid and thick-headed! He knows Joey is afraid of Alphas!” Luke said.Rose looked up when Nick stormed out the front door. She looked at Luke, whose eyes were wide. The Omega was tempted to follow Nick. He wouldn't mind watching someone put that big idiot in check, but he knew his best friend needed him, so he stayed. “Come on, let's get some ice on this,” Rose said as she guided her son to the couch. She quickly disappeared into the kitchen, grabbing i
Third Person's POV Benjamin couldn't get over how night and day Luke was with him now. The Omega that once ran from him now can't keep his hands off him.Luke giggled as he straddled Benjamin's lap on the couch. His right arm wrapped around his mate's neck, and his left hand tangled his fingers in his hair while he tasted his mate's kiss. He couldn't get enough of Benjamin's magical kiss. His tongue felt like heaven wrapped around his. He loved the way Benjamin's tongue searched his mouth and the way his hands caressed his body. The two lovebirds were so lost in each other they didn't hear footsteps walking down the hall. Noah came to a halt, stopping his mate in his tracks, when he saw his son making out with his mate on the couch. He was surprised he wasn't angry and even more surprised by how happy he was. He supposes maybe it's because, for the last two weeks, everyone has witnessed Luke's desperate attempts to avoid Benjamin. “He finally feels the bond,” Michael said through t
Third Person's POV Lexon carefully watches Ezra as he uses his abilities, looking for flaws in his execution and fighting ability. The Elder is impressed with his fighting skills. He was impressed with his abilities until just a few moments ago. Ezra almost seems confused and frustrated as he rapidly switches between abilities. He growls in frustration as the swarm of enemies begins to overpower him. He growls again as he slaps his hand against the light switch and grabs the forehead of the closest vampire, not only electrocuting the one he's holding but the ones touching that vampire. His focus intensifies, and the lights flicker as he draws more power from the light switch. He focuses on the electrical current; Evelyn jumps and covers her head as the light bulbs above begin bursting.When Ezra lets go of the light switch, the bodies of all five enemies fall to the floor. “What happened there?” Lexon asked as he focused on the last vampire and watched as he ripped his own heart ou
Third Person's POV Tate enjoys the warmth of her body pressed against him. Their legs tangled, her head resting on his chest as her fingers delicately trail along his body. It's a soothing sensation, but he can't wait for the day he can feel tingles under those fingertips when she touches him. “It's getting closer… are you afraid?”“No,” Tate replied.“I am,” She said quietly, and he kissed her head. “Don't be scared,”“How can you be so certain?”“Because I love you! Because I think about you all day long. From the moment I wake up until the moment I go to sleep,” Tate said, but the very next moment, he was surprised when his mind drifted to those blue eyes and the adorable way he tilted his head. He could almost hear the sound of his giggle, and his lips tugged up.“What are you smiling about?” Chloe asked as she rested her chin on her hand. “Nothing, just a thought from earlier. Stop worrying your pretty little head. We're mates. We wouldn't feel this strongly for each other if
Third Person's POV Ezra sat reclined in the snuggle chair with his Dad. Only these days, instead of being wrapped up in his dad's arms, his dad is wrapped up in his. Many books lie in Ezra's lap, ones Julian hasn't read yet. The one he's currently reading is held in his hand. As Julian flips the page, Ezra glances down, and his lips tugged up at an old book his dad tried to sneak into his pile of books to read: Good Night Moon. The book is old and raggedy, but his dad still loves it. “Oh, I love this part!” Julian exclaimed excitedly as he nuzzled in against Ezra. The soon-to-be vampire King smiled as he wrapped his arms tighter around his Dad. He rested his head atop his dad's as Julian continued reading. Ezra closed his eyes and enjoyed their snuggle session as he listened to his dad read. Reid paused as he entered the room, and his heart swelled at seeing his mate snuggling with their son. Each time he witnessed it, he cherished it, afraid it might be the last. He never knew wh
Third Person's POV Everyone spun around, taking a fighting stance, but relaxed at the sight of Vincent. “Jesus!...For fuck sakes!” Vincent whisper-yelled as he grabbed the wall with one hand and held his right hand over his heart, trying to collect himself.Vincent turned, giving Lexon a look that let him know he wasn't happy that he scared him half to death, before looking at the two kings. “Fucking A! It's been a long time since I've seen you guys! You little Rugrats grew up into young men!” Vincent said as he eyed the two young men he hadn't seen in nine years. Ezra stiffened and wanted to crawl out of his skin when the stupid vampire pulled him into a hug and nearly squeezed the life out of him. “Damn, look at you! You're almost a king! Shit, buddy!” Vincent said as he slapped the King's back. Ezra's body jerked, and his eyes widened when Vincent slapped his back a little too hard for his liking. “Anyway,” Vincent said as he pointed at Grayson. Grayson raised an eyebrow and
Third Person's POV The ice dancing in the wind around Grayson fades as his powers slip away. The wounds he has sustained are proving to be too much for the soon-to-be Alpha King, and he stumbles before falling to the ground as they pull him down. The sound of Grayson screaming in agony causes Ezra's blood to run cold. He feels his brother's panic and fear and stumbles before growling and swinging as fast as he can. His fear of losing his brother, and the fear of losing this opportunity that they have chased for so long, is consuming. It twists and swirls inside him, churning and building. That fear quickly turns to rage, and it begins to build, causing immense pressure to build within Ezra. His chest heaves and his eyes burn bright. His aura becomes so thick it almost consumes all the air in the room, causing all the enemies to slowly back away in fear. His eyes move throughout the room, landing on each face of his enemy surrounding him. His snarls of rage grip his enemies with fe
Third Person's POV The Omega was so nervous he felt like he was going to vomit. He fiddled with his clothes nervously and hoped his hair looked okay. The Omega wore a traditional wedding suit from his realm that all royal Omegas wore. The suit was linen, a thin fabric perfect for their warm tropical weather. His colors were cream with gold stitching and accents. His pants were neatly ironed, and a traditional dragon wedding vest was fitted over his chest, leaving his arms fully exposed. It wasn't your typical vest. The front overlapped, buttoning off center over his left breast. The buttons and stitching were a beautiful color of gold, matching all the gold jewelry that decorated his body. Gold cuffs spiraled down his upper arms, and bracelets lined his wrists. Rings sat upon every finger, all except one. That finger was completely bare, waiting for his King.A thick gold choker sparkled around his neck, and earrings lined his ears with cuffs along the top. His skin glowed, his li
Third Person's POV “I want to have your baby.” Aero was in shock as he choked on his spit, coughing. Naham tried patting his mate's back, but with each cough, the elder's cock moved inside him, causing the Omega to moan. The Elder wanted to laugh; here he was choking, and the Omega's hips moved with each cough, rutting against him. When Aero stopped coughing, he looked down at the Omega in shock.“W-what?” He couldn't have heard the Omega right. The elder had to ask his mate to be sure. Aero has never thought of children. It was the furthest thing from his mind. He never planned to settle down, and he never planned to take a chosen mate. But he also didn't plan on having a fated mate. Having Naham has changed everything. The vampire that used to have sex with someone different every day was deeply and madly in love with his little dragon. His heart and world revolve around Naham, and he has never been happier. But does that mean he would want children, and would the Omega really w
Third Person's POVOver the past two weeks, Naham has worked on overcoming his fears. He is determined to attend his son's wedding and crowning ceremony without fear. The thought of missing his only child's wedding because of his fears was enough for Naham to push himself to overcome those fears. Slowly, the Omega is overcoming them. Aero has taken Naham outside for strolls, where he's bound to run into vampires. Once he was comfortable with that, Aero began taking him for walks through the halls of the coven. His biggest accomplishment was eating in the dining room last night. That was the most vampires the dragon had been around since he was rescued. He was terrified at first, but by the end, his fears were nearly forgotten. Naham stands on the balcony and looks up at the night sky. He already feels the call of the moon. It's nearing the time that's special for all Omega dragons. His Dragon hears the call and has already begun preparations.Things are different for an Omega dragon
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
