Things had been tense since last night. Simon and Anais did a good job of keeping everybody up while they ever so eagerly completing the mating bond.

Jade was going ballistic hearing the two of them. Something about that situation still seemed... off to me but I chose to keep my opinions to myself. Gerwulf was tired of hearing complaints so he made them move to one of the empty houses in the town square to ensure Jade would calm down, and baby Demeter would be able to sleep.

"You're so beautiful," Simon cooed at Anais bright and early during breakfast. Every wolf, lycan, and shifter looked worse for the wear having bags under the eyes. The vampires looked well rested as if the events of last night hadn't effected them at all.

Anais was sat on his lap feeding him his breakfast and making a point of it to lick off any of the whipped cream from his waffles that didn't make it into his mouth. Ross placed his hand onto Jade's

  • The Witch's Wolf   Ch. 21

    I hadn't heard from my parents or Grant since leaving their house. It felt like every time my life gained a little normalcy it spun in a different direction that had me guessing what was and wasn't going to be a lie or go wrong.I had decided against confronting Bel and Sadie about what they were doing me with. Instead I just made more of a point to stick by Julian when Gerwulf wasn't around. He was the only one giving me answers about anything to do with shapeshifters. Even Bel himself being one would keep a tight lip about it always saying," Alpha's orders."For the next two days I made it seem like everything was still normal. We picked up my dress for the ceremony. It was dark green, and easy to put on and remove. The top was fitted and cut so that my bust showed but below the hip it was long and flowed onto the ground. I felt I looked more fae than wolf in it. They had given me a flower crown of fake green and white roses to go with it.

    The guard at the entrance of our wing opened the large door, Cinnabar speeding up to get to our door faster. He stopped before our suite and let me off his back, changing back. The moment the door opened we were one one another.We fell onto the bed, and I sat in his lap straddling him. Gerwulf pulled back to catch his breath, and I rubbed the tip of our noses together," Ich liebe dich." I flushed a bit still not used to being able to express the words. He gripped my hips tightly coaxing that moan out of me finally."Ich liebe dich auch," he cooed out making my heart hammer. It was still hard to accept the person I'd pined over as a child actually loving me as an adult. Bringing us together through the mate bond had been a blessing by the goddess. Gazing into his amber eyes was something I could never get tired of.I smiled pulling us back together as I tried undoing the clasps of my bra before removing my layers. He chu

    Tension had been thick the last few weeks between Ash Walker and Mountain Crawler. Jade found out she was having a male pup and neither Alpha could agree on if Simon truly deserved to know. A first born son was highly coveted with wolves. Ross wanted to tell him and beat him within an inch of his life for not even so much as apologizing for leaving her without a goodbye. Gerwulf wanted to keep it a secret until Jade decided the time was right.Beth and I had both stepped up in our duties as Luna and Beta female. More pack members meant more mouths to feed and housing to be provided. Plans had started when it came to diving the defunct pack's territories. Ross wanted the northern borders with the higher mountain ranges. Forrest wanted the eastern areas to connect to where he'd securely hidden his coven.Gerwulf seems so apathetic about the entire ordeal. Any mention of where Delmar, Hylda, or Finn were being kept he just shrugged off. At one

    "Please don't miss," Beth panicked handing me a small trash can from across the car.I grasped the plastic container like my life depended on it and emptied the contents of my stomach. Nothing in the last two weeks had managed to stay down. She carefully placed a hand on my shoulder like she was afraid of breaking me."Please say we're almost there," I whined as another round of nausea hit me like a truck."We're coming up on the pack border now Luna," Jeremiah, one of the pack warriors answered. He and another warrior, Sam were the escorts for the day. Jade was due sometime this week and we wanted to be there for her.Julian hadn't returned within a week and I began to panic once that time turned to three. Something had happened that Robin and Gerwulf wouldn't talk to me about. When Ross had called and informed us Jade would pop any day now Gerwulf suggested I play role as Luna and stay for support.

    "You did such a good job," Simon protectively held the little bundle of fabric. He gazed down totally fixated on every aspect of his son. He sat on the edge of the bed, giving Jade a look that seemed like love. Realization seemed to hit him and he quickly hid it," do you need anything?" He held out his arms carefully handing the baby over."Water... maybe something other than hospital food?" Jade forced a smile. Simon kept his gaze on her for a moment more before getting up. We all moved for him to exit."Well," Matthias spoke almost demanding. Jade rolled her eyes," well what?""Don't be shy! Show us the baby!" Matthias retorted and we all roared into a fit of laughter. A smile slowly spread across Jade's face and she seemed to relax. The little multicolored fabric fell as she held her baby up for all of us to see. A mound of jet black hair stuck out in every direction, and a pair of ice blue eyes peeked out through mos

    "Do we have to go back?" Simon's voice came out shaky."Alpha's orders," I offered him a sympathetic smile. We had only gotten to stay an additional four days before Gerwulf had called us back.I helped Beth get Demeter into her seat while she was packing away all her bags. The sounds of Simon and Jade whispering was hard to ignore from behind me. He reached out grabbing onto her arms and pulling her in for a tight hug. The lycan looked shocked but only momentarily as she gripped him back tightly."This isn't good," Beth spoke up. I tried my best not to let out a scream and scare the pup next to me at the sudden sound. No matter how many times I've told her not to do this she always does."Y-Yeah," I cleared my throat quietly and closed the door," maybe we should say something to the boys or Gerwulf? Can't imagine Anais is going to be too happy if she catches them like this ever."

    "I'll talk to my mom and see what she can do," Gerwulf was muttering to himself as he walked in circles around the room.I was left to sit on our bed and think to myself. Julian was missing. This pregnancy just hit a difficult point. Right now I needed some serious comfort and reassurance I knew was going to be hard to come by."Come on," Gerwulf broke me out of my thoughts. He picked me up into his strong embrace carrying me bridal style."Where are we going?" I sighed. Bed was what I wanted."To see my mom. I can't just stand here and remain composed like usual. We need to try to do something... see if she can give us any insight that a traditional doctor can't," he more or less sounded as if speaking to himself. His eyes looked dazed as he hurriedly took us through the halls of Harvest Moon. They hadn't had a court witch in over twenty years because of Gerwulf's conception. The moment Hylda came i

    My eyes shot open as a loud thump woke me from my sleep. I sat up straight to look for the source of the sound, only to squint in pain at the feeling of sunlight in my eyes. Gerwulf was staring at me from the floor wide eyed almost in terror. The sheets barely covered him as he scrambled back. "El?" his voice was husky and uneasy."Who else would I be?" I raised my brow and carefully scooted to his side of the bed, staring at him.Gerwulf ran his fingers through his blood red locks and rubbed his eyes. He repeated his actions enough to let me know what he was trying to do. "Sweetheart..." my voice trembled slightly," are you alright? I'm still going to be me no matter how much you rub at your eyes. What's wrong?""You don't look like yourself," my mate quickly spoke. He dropped his hands down to the sheet trying to cover his bare body," I thought I woke up next to a corpse!" His voice raising a bit too much in panic.

    "Quinn moved on already Gideon," his words stung. I looked up from the photos and straight into his eyes that were the same shade of amber as mine. He wore a pained look.

    I want to give a big thank you to everybody who followed along with this story.

I have already started uploading chapters on it but I will give a sneak peak into the book for those who might be interested. LTHH is going to be a lot darker and include some of the characters from this story. It starts off nine years from the time the last "Aftermath" chapter takes place. It is currently only available through the mobile site because it hasn't been signed yet. I've already uploaded nine chapters of it. Again a big thank you for anybody who gave this book a chance!

    GIDEON There are very few times I can ever remember my mother crying in front of us. After the birth of my other siblings and when dad said overly sweet things to her. Other than that were the times my father was involved. Whether it be he came home from one of the council's missions in ill health or they had one of their many arguments... she cried. "There has to be something you can do," my mother's broken voice filled our kitchen. As I stared into her red eyes my heart ached. I had been the one to make her cry this time. Was I just as bad as my father? Quinn's warm hand was placed onto my shoulder and I relaxed a bit. My father grabbed his glass of dark liquid again and downed it. He looked awful, having just come back from a mission days ago. Deep red hair a shaggy mess around his shoulders and dark bags beneath his eyes. He stood in front of me at the kitchen island, staring down at m

    QUINNI just knew that leaving would be a bad idea. Everyday away for the last three months it's felt like I'm losing my mind. His smell, touch... all of it. I craved it so much. Slipping up and giving into my darkest desires during that party ruined everything. It completely broke all the rules my pack and his parents had given me.I wasn't allowed to make a move on Gideon until he had his first shift. It was forbidden amongst most werewolves and lycans to let a mate know you're theirs until they come of age.The moment he left my mother had confronted me. His thick scent of sandalwood was now intertwined with mine. Soaking up every bit of my being and making me dizzy.Being sent away for 'training' was her form of punishment. She was worried I was going to mess up everything they'd planned. Gerwulf had become unpredictable once the council started contracting him for work.

    GIDEON My foot pressed down harder as I started to speed carelessly through the traffic. Who was he to tell me what to do?! My anger was flaring as Otto was fighting against me to stay calmed down. If I got too pissed I'd shift and being this publicly exposed would be bad. Humans frequented this town as much as the supernaturals. "Yes we are!" I swerved recklessly, pulling into the first parking spot at the mall. I went to jump out of the car, but Quinn pulled me back in hard. His nostrils were flaring with his canines elongated. He wasn't trying to hide just how absolutely pissed off he was in this moment. "We. Are. Not. Going," he pronounced each words hard. His grip on my wrist tightening. "Stop treating me like a child!" I was yelling at this point. "You ARE a child! Maybe you aren't five, but if you want me to treat you li

    GIDEON'You should really cut your hair,' Otto, my shifter spirit hissed at me.I rolled my eyes, staring into the mirror. I'd just gotten out of the shower after morning training with the pack. Did I really look that bad? My large hands twisted through my long brown locks. Maybe? Demeter said she liked guys with longer hair.'Yes you do. Don't listen to that girl,' he grew more impatient.Otto had been a constant source of annoyance my entire life. He'd been awake in my mind since childhood. Something that I never told my parents about. Mom doesn't know about the deal that my father made with the council. It's better if neither of them know about this.When both of my sides awaken then I have to start my service. Five years, no exceptions. It was a thought that had haunted me for a long time. Father told me about it on my thirteenth bi

    7 years later..."Please please try not to break anything this time!" Gerwulf was in full on dad mode as we all piled out of the car. Gideon was the first to jump out of the vehicle with the big bag of cookies he'd made for dinner. His younger brothers followed behind him quickly.Our family had grown rapidly since everything went down. Since things had become calm. Things had changed drastically for the pack. Some for the better... some for the worst possible. Wolves were being born with abilities beyond what should be possible. Ash Walker was now on a gag order from Gerwulf. People weren't to talk about our family and I was strictly banned from attending anything with him. Both Julian and Gerwulf were too afraid of another rebellion happening.Aldric Stoll's pack was now under close watch while we waited for his grandson to come of age. Mason, the pack Beta was left alive and tasked w

    "Alright alright. Give him back," Julian was pouting like a child as he watched his parents take turns holding Max. Forrest laughed at his son while Colette hissed lightly and hugged her grandson tighter. "You'll get him back when we're ready to give him back," she snapped. I couldn't hold in the laughter watching Julian deflate and sulk back over to our bed. My head pounded as my muscles tensed up with laughter. "It's not fair. All of you guys have had hours to be with him and I've only had minutes," he lay his head into my lap and puffed out his bottom lip. "Guess we'll just have to make another so you always have a baby to hold," I used my free hand to pet at his hair. The other was currently occupied with Gideon who slept soundly curled against my chest. He'd cried so hard when Gerwulf put him down that it felt like my ear drums were ready to burst. Thankfully some milk had fixed that problem. Jack from the cou

    Aldric. Fucking. Stoll.Bane of my goddess given existence.Julian's warnings of Robin had sent me into a panic, but never did I think that it would be this bad. I had been on my way back from breaking up the fight between Ross and Simon when I heard her getting sick. One look at her features and the puddle of blood on the floor let me know she had been poisoned. What I hadn't expected was what I saw when my mother lifted her shirt. Whatever had entered her system was working fast.I hated myself for leaving her alone to finish decorating the houses. If I hadn't left...Julian's cries were echoing in the hollowed out chamber that was my mother's apothecary area. He hadn't stopped sobbing and exhausting himself trying to move since he'd been tossed down here with the rest of us. Dietrich, Vance, my mother, my father, and Robin were all out cold. Twenty minutes after tossing us down here they threw dow
