2024-10-29 19:42:56I immediately cringed, “Princess ceremony?” Queen Chumani smiled, “Yes, dear. You are a dragon princess now. I promise, it’s not a long, drawn-out ceremony at all. There is more work involved in the preparation of the ceremony than the ceremony itself. We can have the ceremony pretty quickly, if you want to sit down with me today to choose your invitations and figure out the guest list. You will also need to visit the jeweler in town to design your crown and the gown shop next to it to get your gowns for the ceremony and the after-party. Do you think that can get done today?” I nodded, “I know we can sit down to do the guest list and invitations. I’m sure I can also go to town today too.” She smiled, “I’m so happy!”
Elliot pulled me close and whispered in my ear, “You just made my grandma the happiest woman on Earth. She lives for these events. Thank you.” I smiled, “There is nothing to thank me for. I enjoy her company.” He nuzzled my neck, breathing in my scent, “I love yo

I got in their car and the driver took me to the jeweler, and he helped me design a beautiful crown. He smiled, “You are going to look absolutely stunning in this crown. I know our kingdom will fall in love with you.” I smiled, “Well, thank you. I do appreciate that vote of confidence.” He chuckled, “You will be amazing. I know it. Prince Elliot is a very lucky man to have you for a mate.” I smiled as I shook his hand, “I’m the lucky one. Have a great day.” He wished me good day and I walked next door to the dress shop. When I walked in, the saleslady immediately approached me, “How may I help you?” I smiled, “I am Prince Elliot’s mate.” She gasped, “The Princess! Are you shopping for your dresses for your crowning ceremony and the reception?” I nodded, “I am.” She smiled, “I have the perfect dresses for you. I designed them myself.” She handed two dresses to me and guided me to the dressing rooms. I tried on the floor length gown with the six-foot train flowing behi

I looked around and yelled as loud as I can, “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON AND WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE?!” Linden and Max stopped and looked at me like deer caught in headlights. Taylor walked into the house with Evan, “Evan and I had gone for a walk, and we came back to this. I didn’t want to get hit with anything, so I stepped outside and called you.” Evan shook his head, “You got back too fast for me to do anything about it.” I looked at my brothers, and Linden finally spoke, “It started with us just throwing little lightning bolts at each other, but then they started getting bigger and… we’re sorry. We should’ve done this outside.” Max stepped up, “I’m sorry sis. We were having fun and things just got out of hand.” I shook my head, “Well, no one got hurt, but my house is a fucking mess. Here’s what you are going to do. You are going to clean all this mess up, with NO MAGIC! Magic got you in this mess. I am going to stay right here and watch every move you make u

I told the guys to go ahead and use their magic to finish cleaning, then get ready for company. The grass drill will happen later. I told them, “Blaise has decided that he wants to come out and train with you guys, so he’s going to try and stay with us for a while.” The guys were excited, while Taylor groaned, “I’m going to be outnumbered.” I laughed, “We are already outnumbered. What’s one more?” She laughed, “I see your point.” I smile, “Besides, you’ll be moving in with your mate soon, won’t you?” She blushed, “I will be soon. I still have to meet with the Queen to request to be changed.” I furrowed my brow, “I can arrange that over dinner tonight. I can invite her. You just bring Evan to dinner.” She smiled, “You can really do it that fast?” I smiled, “Of course. She is part of the alliance.” Taylor didn’t act as happy as I thought she would be about this news. I asked, “Taylor, what else is holding you back?” She sighed, “I’m just scared of living in a whole new world,

Queen Lakelyn sat back and smiled, “Dahlia wasn’t always evil. When we were growing up, she was actually very sweet in school. She was always helpful to everyone.” I asked, “You went to school with her?” Queen Lakelyn nodded, “I did. So did everyone at this table. Some of us were even friends with her after she went psycho… though not for long after. She turned very dangerous.” Queen Chumani nodded, “She was my best friend in high school. I was convinced that she was destined for great things. She ruined it all.” I sat back and asked, “What exactly was her home life like then?” Queen Chumani smiled, “Her family was so much fun! Her dad was a loving man who treated all the area kids like his own. Her mom always had snacks at the ready for all of us. She had four brothers and two sisters, and they all had friends who liked to hang out at her house. It was always full of laughter and love.” Queen Lakelyn laughed, “It was almost sickeningly sweet. I’m sure they argued, but we ne

I added, “While she took me downstairs for that breakfast that was laced with a truth spell, she told me that I wouldn’t want kids after they had been used as a weapon against me.” Billy sighed, “I am so sorry you had to go through all that, Elisa.” I nodded to him, “It really kinda messed with my mind. She kept trying to tell me that Elliot would leave me, she told me that all mates do. I know better, but it felt like she was telling me the honest truth.” Billy looked me in the eyes, “She was telling you, her truth. That doesn’t mean it was yours.” I nodded, “I understand.” Taylor chimed in, “I’ve kinda been feeling the same way. What if I end up turning into a horrible mother? I can’t imagine abandoning a child in the middle of the forest, but that doesn’t mean I’m not capable of it.” Evan put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him, “You will never be like that, because you have a mate who will love you and cherish you forever. I could never imagine a single sc

I agreed, “It is cool that her convenience turned into not only her undoing, but also some pretty strong bonds. I hope these bonds keep getting stronger.” Then Billy spoke up, “I know Dahlia messed with all of your heads and it would worry me if it didn’t affect each of you in some way. I want you all to know that what she did is on her. Not any of you. I don’t think any of you has the capacity to be like her in any way. I see a lot of her, before her first mate in you, Elisa, and you, Taylor. That doesn’t mean you will turn out like her. Don’t forget that it took a black magic warlock and a fake mate spell to make her that way. The two of you have already found your mates and they are really good ones. You have nothing to worry about.” Queen Chumani smiled, “I understand why you would have doubts about your abilities as a mother, but you ladies are too sweet and caring to even think about being like that. Dahlia was a sweet woman. She was just a victim of black magic and th

I looked in the man’s eyes and saw nothing but happiness and is that love I see? Billy smiled, “Wade, I would like for you to meet your daughters, Elisabeth and Taylor. Ladies, this is your biological father, Wade Beard.” I smiled at him, “I am so happy to meet you, Wade.” Taylor smiled, “Same here. Elisa and I honestly thought our mother killed you.” Wade threw his head back and laughed a roaring laugh, that caused vibrations throughout our bodies and birds to take flight out of the trees. We could help laughing with him, even though we had no idea what we were laughing at. He reached out to us and Taylor and I ran to him. He wrapped his massive arms around both of us at the same time and gave us the most comfortable hug I think I have ever received. I never knew what a father’s hug felt like before, but this has to be it. It honestly made me start crying, which surprised even me. He must have sensed that I was crying and he asked, “Did I squeeze too tight?” I chuckled, “No

Wade visibly relaxed and took a deep, soothing breath as soon as we cuddled close to him, “I just can’t stand the thought of my girls going through all that. I must have been crazy to stay with her as long as I did.” Taylor put her hands on his cheeks and turned his head to face her, “If you hadn’t stayed with her as long as you did, we wouldn’t be here.” He sighed, “You are right. You two are such a blessing. I don’t know how she could’ve done what she did to you.” I smiled, “She never gave us a chance to show her this side of us.” He furrowed his brow, “What do you mean?” I giggled, “When you give hateful, you get hateful. Do you know what I mean?” Dad laughed again and I swear I felt the ground shake and I saw deer running away. He certainly has a powerful presence. That’s for sure. I asked, “What was she like with you?” He smiled, “We were real mates. She was sweet to me except there was always a part of her that didn’t trust me. Like she was always waiting for the other

Twenty Years Later I’m sitting in my favorite spot with my mate sitting behind me in my favorite lounge chair. We are both drinking our morning coffee as two mountain lions walked up to the deck. They both bowed to us, and I smiled, “Good morning, Dusty. Good morning, Lilly.” Dusty found his mate in his own pack on his sixteenth birthday. We had a party for him that night and he introduced her to all of us. She is such a sweet girl I really couldn’t wish for anything better for him. Robert and Katie are so proud of them. They had four children and they only have two still at home. I am so proud of the parents they are. The two children that have already found their mates and left are absolutely awesome. Linden found his mate and decided to build another house close to our land. His mate understands that he needs to be close to family and his siblings are all he has left. His father passed away when my triplets were only two years old. It was an extremely hard time for him. We made s

Robert and Katie laughed and shook their heads as Robert smiled, “Now that would make me rethink my choice to be a parent.” I laughed, “I think she did.” Just then, Calista ran out onto the deck, “Good morning, mom.” She sat in my lap and hugged me tightly. I turned her around and introduced her to them. She smiled, “It’s very nice to meet my Uncle Dusty’s parents. I love him so much!” Katie smiled, “I’m so glad you love him, Calista.” I asked Calista, “Is anyone else up?” She smiled, “Dad is up with Raze and Eva.” I laughed, “Is Willow awake yet?” She shook her head, “She was sleeping peacefully when I came out.” I smiled, “Thank you. I guess you would like some breakfast, huh?” She smiled and shook her head shyly. I smiled, “Okay.” Then I turned to Robert and Katie, “Would you like to join us?” They agreed and followed me and Calista into the house. I cooked a big breakfast and had it all laid on the table. As soon as it was all prepared, it sounded like a herd of horses coming down

When Taylor was done feeding the boys, Evan and I took the boys in the living room to visit with everyone else. Uncle Dax was the first to hold out his arms. Evan smiled as he held out the first baby boy, “You are now holding Cain, and the boy mom is holding is Dylan.” After Doctor Harper was done with Taylor, I walked with her to another guest room in the house and smiled, “I remember how all I wanted after all that was to take a shower. Is that what you would like?” She replied, “Definitely.” I smiled, “You go ahead and take a shower. That shower has a bench in it so you can sit. I would highly recommend using it. I will get you some clothes.” I opened the closet door and found a perfect pair of soft sweatpants and a t-shirt that looked lusciously oversized. I grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra and put them on the bed. When Taylor walked out of the bathroom in a towel, I asked, “Feeling better?” She smiled, “That did feel better.” I got you a comfy pair of sweats and an oversized

Seven months later… Taylor and Evan are staying in the guest house with dad and Linden. Taylor wants me to be there for her when she gives birth. She’s afraid Evan is going to pass out. Evan agrees with her, but he still wants to be there for her and to see his babies being born. He swears we will try his hardest to stay conscious. We all laugh and Elliot smiles, “I don’t blame you, dude. I almost passed out a few times.” We were all eating breakfast one morning when Taylor gasped, “Oh dear. I’m pretty sure I’m in labor.” I smiled, “Evan, you need to be keeping track of how far apart the contractions are. Let us know when they are around five minutes apart. Taylor, you need to tell him when each contraction starts and ends. Okay?” She nodded in reply and I called Doctor Harper. Doctor Harper said she would start driving here now, so we will be ready. Wow. The whole family showed up! Within 2 hours, Elliot and I were sitting in the living room with dad, my mom, Evan’s parents, Aidint

I laughed, “I understand completely.” Calista smiled, “I can sing for you, Uncle Dusty.” He looked at me and I nodded, “Trust me… You want to hear this.” Dusty nodded, “I would love to hear you sing.” Calista started singing the most beautiful and relaxing song I have ever heard and Dusty looks so relaxed and happy. When the song ends, Dusty chuckles, “Calista, you are awesome!” She smiles proudly, “I’m a mermaid/wolf hybrid and an omega. My mom and dad rescued me from my old alpha. He kept me in a tiny room under the stairs in his packhouse. He was planning on marking and mating me. They rescued me just in time.” Dusty asked, “What happened to your family?” She looked down at her hands in her lap, “My old alpha killed my parents and my brother. My parents hid me, but I saw him rip my brother’s head off. But I have mom and dad now and I have the best family ever. I have LOTS of uncles and grandparents and now I have a brother and SISTERS! I really am a lucky girl.” Dusty pulled her clo

One week later… Mom spent the night with us last night because mommy, daddy and sister all needed to get a full night of sleep. We were all starting to get quite cranky. I don’t think I was ever more thankful for my mom when she offered to stay overnight. After feeding the babies at eight pm, I went straight to bed. I think Calista went to bed before I did and Elliot was waiting for me in bed when I got there. We all slept like rocks and I didn’t wake up the entire night. It was my best night’s sleep since the night before I gave birth to all of them. Don’t get me wrong, I love all three of my newborns. But they are definitely little sleep robbers! Ladies, let me give you a bit of advice. When other women tell you to sleep when they sleep, LISTEN! Trust me, it makes perfect sense. If the things you need to do can wait, do it. They have been wearing us all out. Raze has an insatiable appetite. We were at the grocery store yesterday, and a little older lady heard Raze’s hungry screams.

I held her close to me, “I don’t care how many little girls we give birth to; you will always be our baby girl. You just won’t be the only one anymore. Okay?” She smiled as she snuggled closer to me, “I like that idea.” I smiled, “Me too.” Then I asked her, “What do you think of being a big sister now that you’ve seen your new brother and sisters?” She giggled, “I am going to have so much fun. Especially with Eva! She’s like me!” I started yawning and Elliot sighed, “Are you ready to get some sleep, love?” I shrugged, “Yeah, I better sleep while I can. Doctor Harper left some formula on the counter with the bottles. There are plenty of diapers in the nursery next to our room. Would you please turn on the baby monitor before you come to bed?” Elliot smiled, “We have plenty of help, love.” I reminded him, “Doctor Harper told me to alternate between formula and breast milk. Next feeding, you all can feed them, but please wake me to feed them when they wake to eat after that.” Mom nodded,

I suddenly felt fear wash over me and I was almost paralyzed. What if I’m a horrible mom? I mean I would never do what Dahlia did to me, but what if I don’t develop that mother-child bond? I’m scared to death but then Elliot leans to comfort me and says in low voice into my ear, “You’re going to be fine, love. You are nothing but kind and nurturing. You’ve worked wonders with Calista. You have nothing to fear, baby. You also have tons of help at your fingertips.” I smiled as he kissed my forehead, “You always know exactly what I need to hear. I love you so much.” With that, I felt my stomach get tight and I lifted my torso to bear down, pushing to help our first baby through the birth canal. Doctor Harper encouraged, “That was a really good one, Elisa. Need another push.” Another contraction hit and I started pushing again. I was pushing and felt a sudden reduction in pressure. Doctor Harper smiled, “Here is your prince!” Our little boy started wailing as his father cut the cord, “He’

I sat in the living room with my feet up with dad, Elliot, Evan, Linden and Max. I was trying to relax, but my back started hurting. The ache started moving around to my belly and I could feel my belly squeezing tightly. It wasn’t so painful that it was alarming, it just really caught my attention. I raised my shirt to expose my belly as another contraction hit. As my belly contracted, I tapped Elliot to get his attention. As we both looked down at my belly, Elliot gasped as the babies were clearly visible as my belly squeezed around them. He asked, “That looks like it hurts so bad, and you are just sitting there looking at it. You are tougher than I am.” I laughed, “My back hurts worse than my belly.” Doctor Harper walked in, “Don’t get used to it. It won’t stay this way.” I looked up at her, smiling, “It will all be worth it. I can’t wait to meet them.” Doctor Harper smiled, “You are going to be such a great mother.” I asked, “Do you think a numbing spell would be a good idea?” She
