Third Person's POV Tate grips Chloe's hand as they walk out of the room. When they get halfway down the stairs, Chloe pulls them to a stop. She looks into his eyes, lets go of his hand, and rests it on his cheek. She breathes out a shaky breath before speaking. “I love you, Tate, and I know you love me! I know when you find your mate, that will all change, and I want you to know that it's okay! I'll be okay! I know we messed up, but I don't regret a second of it! I know you'll always carry a piece of me in your heart, and I'll always carry a piece of you in mine,” Chloe said before pressing her trembling lips against Tate's. She lets out a shaky breath as she steps away from him and lets her hand fall to her side. “We can't walk out holding hands. If your mate is out there, I don't want them to see that. I'm here for you today, but we can't be affectionate,”Tate shakes his head as he takes her face into his hands. “You promised! You said you'd give me today,” his lip trembled as
Third Person's POV Joey sat in the backseat, both nervous and excited. He looks down at the gift that is wrapped so carefully, and the Omega smiles as he runs his fingers along the edges. The Omega worked so hard on his gift. His mother bought him a new set of colors so he could get Tate's bear just right. Once the drawing was complete, his mother took him to a store so he could pick out the perfect picture frame. The picture of Tate's bear looked so good against the natural dark stained wooden frame. It was so beautiful that the Omega was tempted to keep it so he could see Tate's bear every day… ‘Maybe I'll make another one for myself,’ Joey thought, smiling as he gently ran his fingers along the wrapping paper.His heart beats faster at the thought of giving it to Tate. He couldn't wait to see him smile; he hopes he does. He feels a rush of excitement bubbling up and begins squirming in his seat. Luke chuckles as he reaches over to rub Joey's arm. “Antsy pants,” Luke teased. “Do
Third Person's POV Joey was beyond excited that Tate accepted his gift. He squealed as he ran into Luke's arms. “He accepted it! Do you think he'll like it? I hope he likes it,” Joey said. His hands rapidly moved, and his smile stretched from ear to ear. His eyes sparkled, and Luke couldn't stop himself from pulling Joey into a hug again. “He's going to love it!” Luke said.Joey's bright smile was contagious. His eyes sparkled as he looked around and rubbed his hands on his pants. “Let's grab something to eat,” Luke said, pulling his antsy friend to his feet. “I have to go to the bathroom first,” Joey signed before disappearing inside. All of his fears seemed to have disappeared, covered up by the excitement pouring out of him. His smile never left his face, not even as he entered a pack house that he was unfamiliar with. He slowly pushed open one door after another, peeking in to see if it was a bathroom. Footsteps approaching had Joey pulling his head out of the room he was pee
Third Person's POV Coal came home from training to find his little elf fast asleep. Since he had moved into his own apartment, he had forgotten how frequently Omega napped. Even though Nathan is an elf/ Vampire hybrid and not a werewolf, he naps just as frequently as an Omega wolf does. After his shower, the Alpha was going to get dressed and finish his report in his office, but the sight of the Omega’s exposed back and delicate leg had the Alpha crawling into bed with him. The Alpha’s strong scent had the Omega's nose flaring, and he began to move in search of Coal’s scent. His nose nuzzled the Alpha's neck as Coal tilted his head. Tingles dance under the Alpha's fingertips as he lightly trails them along Nathan's back. Coal smiled when he watched goosebumps spread along the Omega's body. His hand glides over the roundness of his ass, slowly pulling the sheet back and exposing his plump cheeks. More goosebumps seem to explode along his body, and Nathan hums against Coal’s neck as
Third Person's POV Tate went through the motions of his day. His body was there, but his head was elsewhere. It was still back home with Chloe. He didn't notice the Omega on his way back from training. He was too lost in his thoughts and his pain. The Omega perked up at the sight of Tate but frowned when he walked right past him and inside the pack house. He immediately noticed something different about the Alpha. He seemed sad and never once looked up from the ground. It seemed like he was staring at his feet as he walked, which was unusual for an alpha. They usually walked with her head held high.Tate didn't bother with lunch; he didn't have an appetite, so he walked past the dining room and headed upstairs. The quiet room was too quiet, and her scent was everywhere. The Alpha felt like he was losing himself. He growled in frustration, grabbed his pillow, and pressed it over his face as he yelled into it. After only half an hour in his room, Tate's eyes glaze over as he pushes o
Third Person's POVLexon and Aero finish looking over Vincent's report, and Lexon sighs as he sits back in his chair. “Well, it looks like our people aren't the only ones running underground illegal operations,” Aero said as he stood and walked toward the liquor cabinet.“We're going to have to take this to Reid. This isn't our jurisdiction,” Lexon said, then looked at his brother when he groaned. “You drank the last of the blood,” Aero said in frustration. “Yeah, sorry about that. I can't drink from Jace in the mornings because of his supplements. Just go to the feeding room. There's tons of humans in there,” Lexon said sarcastically as he wiggled his eyebrows at his brother.Aero glared at his brother and was tempted to bite his smart ass. “Listen, I told you I'm sorry! Keep rubbing it in, and I'm going to bite your ass,” “Only if you can catch me, little brother,” Lexon teased, his black mist dancing around him, ready to disappear if his brother lunged for him. “Go get some bl
Third Person's POV Naham's eyes slowly closed when he felt his mate's tongue against his neck. The Omega released a shaky breath as Aero laid an open mouth kiss on his neck. The Omega was shocked, but he wasn't afraid. In fact, it was quite the opposite. He felt excitement rolling through him and anticipation, waiting for the moment he feels Aero's fangs pierce his skin. A shiver ran down his spine when he felt his vampire's tongue against his neck and his mouth sucking at the tender flesh. He bit his lip, and his chest rapidly rose and fell as he gripped Aero. “Naham,” Aero whispered, causing the Omega's heart to skip a beat at the sound of his name.Aero's hand gripping and caressing his back so intimately, it made Naham melt against his mate. He felt Aero's fangs pierce his skin, his eyes shot open, and his mouth opened as he sucked a breath in. He immediately noticed it felt much different than any other time. It didn't hurt nearly as bad; in fact, it almost felt good. He felt
Third Person's POV Aero was on cloud nine. His little Omega didn't want to let him go. It was a strange feeling, but one he loved. The Elder went from never letting anyone get too close, to not wanting to let the Omega go. His presence was comforting and soothing. It calmed something deep inside, something he didn't know needed to be soothed, and he made him happy in a way he never knew was possible. The Elder had already fallen deeply for the Omega. He just didn't realize he was already in love.When the Omega lifted his head and looked at him lovingly, the Elder felt giddy and almost squirmed. He felt like a young vampire again, but different. Naham looked at Aero in a new light. He no longer feared him or considered him a monster. Even though he was the very being that terrified him and brought him misery, he trusted Aero and found himself falling for the vampire. Aero reached up and caressed the Omega's cheek. “Do you want to go for a walk? Aside from the balcony, I know it's
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 lip
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
