I suddenly broke down. I cried, “I wish I could tell you why I didn’t get there sooner. I wanted to save all of them, but we just didn’t get there soon enough.” I was quickly turning into a blubbering mess. I couldn’t even look at the woman who was so distraught. Joey approached the woman, “What was your son’s name?” She answered, “Michael. He liked to be called Mikey.” Joey replied, “I knew him. He didn’t like being bossed around. Did he?” The woman shook her head as she slightly smiled, “I will admit… He was spoiled. He didn’t like being told what to do.” Joey nodded, “That’s why they killed him. The guy with the whip told him to stay with our group. Mikey told him no and tried to take off running. The guy caught him and threw him back into us. He aimed too high and hit the wall behind us. He died as soon as he hit the cave wall. There is nothing the Princess could have done to save him any sooner. He died just minutes after getting there.” The woman started to get angry again, but K

    I agreed to let her stay and Elliot and I went back to our house. We hadn’t even made it to our door when a small crowd formed at our door. We approached them and I asked, “Are you here to pick up your children?” One woman replied, “Yes, Princess. We already went through the other building.” She shook her head and continued somberly, “So many children. It’s so horrible.” I shook my head, “I know. It’s awful.” Elliot smiled, “For what it’s worth, we found many more live children. I can take you to the other house where they all just went to bed.” The mother asked, “Alone?” Elliot’s eyes went wide, “Oh no! No way! There are plenty of people supervising. The kids are great. They’ve been through hell and they can still laugh. Many of them are in wheelchairs now, and they’re still able to laugh. It just amazes me how quickly they bounced back from all this.” While Elliot took the parents to their children, I walked up the stairs to our bedroom and changed into a nightgown that would be pre

    We watched as the warriors took the men out of the tunnels and four witches were waiting at the entrance to teleport them to Koda’s dungeons with the rest of the men. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at dad, “I really hope the leader or leaders is among that group. I want this whole thing shut down.” Dad replied, “I hope so too. Those tunnels are not easy to do a manhunt in. Have you ever heard the term, “Fatal funnel?” I nod my head, “That’s a human military and law enforcement term for having a gunfight in a stairwell, with the gunman at the top. It’s extremely undesirable.” He agreed, “It most definitely is. That’s exactly what those tunnels are. There really is no protection from bullets and those guys have guns.” I agree and we go back to the living room where everyone else is waiting. For the rest of the day, we all have fun playing games, joking around and I smiled as I baked all kinds of treats. We now have brownies with peanut butter swirled through them, chocolate chip

    It’s Sunday today, and it’s my dad’s birthday. The first time we actually get to celebrate his birthday with him. I mind linked Taylor last Monday, so she is planning to surprise him this afternoon with a visit. I have been baking his cake. While it was cooling, Calista and I whipped the frosting and sliced the strawberries. When we finished the cake, dad came in the house. I ran to him, hugged him, kissed him on his cheek, and smiled, “Happy Birthday daddy! How does it feel to get to celebrate your birthday with your daughters for the very first time?” My dad pulled back from the hug and I could see tears in his eyes, “I was thinking about that this morning. You have no idea how happy I am to have my girls in my life. I may have missed your entire childhood, but I get to be around you for the rest of my life now, and I get to enjoy my grandbabies from their beginning.” I smiled as my sister stepped up behind him, “And soon you will have two more to watch from the beginning.” My dad s

    In a split second, Taylor was behind Evan, I was behind Elliot, Calista was behind Dad and Max was in front of all of us, ready to fight. I would’ve been proud of him if we didn’t have unwanted guests. I step around Elliot and storm, “Who the hell do you think you are? Barging into my home with no invitation.” Her mom stopped and I added, “Taylor is celebrating our father’s birthday with us. It’s his very first birthday that we could celebrate together. Why are you in MY home, ruining our dad’s birthday?” Taylor’s parents stopped and her mother tried to approach Taylor and I stood in front of her, “You can talk in front of us. She does not want to be left alone with you. Say what you want to say and make it fast.” Taylor’s dad stepped forward, “Taylor, I want you to come home. This life you’re living is ridiculous. You are ruining your life and our reputation.” Taylor stepped in front of Evan, “Dad, the life I’m living is not ridiculous. It is where I belong. If you’re so worried abou

    One week later, Taylor and I decided to go to town to shop for furnishings for her new house and I wanted to look around at the chef supply store. I have a few pans that are starting to wear out. We went to the mall and Taylor immediately wanted to go to Bath & Body Works. She was fully engrossed in smelling body washes when I saw her mother approach. I immediately mind linked our guards who were standing outside the store, “Taylor’s mom is here again and she doesn’t look friendly. I need a minimum of two of you in here now.” My gaze goes back to Taylor and her mother has her hand pulled back as if to slap her. I run up behind her and grab her hand, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Leave Taylor alone. She has already made it clear that you are not wanted in her life anymore.” He mom started yelling, “I invested seventeen years in raising you. You owe me!” Taylor furrowed her brow, “I owe you nothing. You never even told me I was adopted. You didn’t tell me anything. You can’t tell m

    Beagan guided us to an area behind the wall and found lots of props. Beagan asked, “So you’re both pregnant? I would imagine Wade is ecstatic over it.” I smiled, “He is over the moon. That’s why we wanted to capture this moment. Both of his girls pregnant at the same time.” Beagan gushed, “I have so many cute ideas! Do you want to use a fabric background or do you want to go to the park?” I looked at Taylor and we both decided we wanted to stay indoors to keep anyone from seeing what we’re up to. We didn’t want word to get back to dad and our mates. Beagan smiled, “I got it. Do you want light and silly photos or solely serious pics?” Taylor and I simultaneously replied, “Both!” We all started laughing and Beagan began, “Let’s get going. This should go pretty quick because I can use magic on you two. Almost all of my clients are humans so far, but business has been really good. I want to thank you and Prince Elliot for encouraging me to do this, Princess. And for getting me started. I

    Every male immediately stood up with fists balled up… even Max! I continued, “Taylor’s mom tried to stab her while we were Bath & Body Works. I was able to get the guard in there and I grabbed her hand before she was able to stab her. Then, we were about to get in the car when we heard a loud pop. We looked around and a bunch of guards were tackling her dad to the ground while one guard was moaning on the ground behind us. He jumped in front of the bullet for us. Luckily, he was wearing his vest. He’s going to be sore for a couple days, but he’s alive.” Elliot shook his head, “So I need to find out which guard did that and thank him.” Taylor added, “They have both been turned over to police. Hopefully, bail will be set too high for them to be able to get out.” Evan had his arms wrapped around Taylor tightly and Elliot responded, “I will not have either of you going anywhere by yourselves again. I want guards around each of our houses, just in case they do get out while awaiting trial.”

    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

    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’
