Stella POV
Last night I was so tired that I passed out almost immediately after my head hit the pillow. It was an excruciating day. It was as if we were riding an emotional roller coaster over and over again. I was drained, and although I promised a second round of love making, my body protested and closed out without a warning.
The last thing I recall is someone knocking on our door. And that was it. I felt Romeo wrap his arms around me, and the comfort of his warmth lulled me more to sleep; the longing, need, want, and lust were long gone. And as long as I was in his embrace, the rest didn't matter. I felt content, and I was complete, as long as we were together.
The next day, I woke up rested, after being in the hospital for two days, without my mates´ touch, his closeness was doing weird things to me. I am going to blame it on the pregnancy hormones, because I was ready to jump over his bones, despite him being aslee
Romeo POVWhen I apologized to Eulisses, I could feel that he honestly was not holding a grudge against my actions yesterday. He is willing to try it, which makes me willing to try as well. I have been wondering about what kind of information he has and about how willing he is to work with us. The only way to find out is by using Stella's ability, so during breakfast, I quickly mind-linked her “Hey, honey…” She looked at me and smiled; no words had to be said between us. “I was wondering if we talk to them in private… Can you use your ability to help figure out if they are being honest?” She casually kept eating, and then I heard over my mind.“I have been using my ability the whole breakfast, and Oh! Boy, you are in for a surprise… But yeah! I can use my ability if we get to talk to them in private, and I can try to open the link so you can hear the whole thing like a live broadcast.”We engaged in small talk during bre
Paige POVMy blood froze. She was having twins. This can't be happening. I heard Coral say a couple of times that if she had twins, the pups would be the most powerful pups alive and that they would restore the order of things. Coral was adamant about Stella not getting together with Romeo, and now she is the one helping Mariel get rid of her.I don't want my sister to be put in harm's way, so she needs to keep those pups concealed as much as possible. If Coral or any other witch finds out, she will be the target of multiple attacks. The prophecy about Stella said that she would bring peace to the werewolf community, and so far, she and Romeo have just prevented a bloody war, but the prophecy about the pups is completely different.The prophecy says, "Two pups will be born from the Elemental couple, one with great power, the other with great strength, and combined, both will restore order in the world.” Coral's words sen
Stella POVWhen I heard her mouth move, I barely registered her words. She promised the darkness to sacrifice her firstborn, which would devastate Eulisses beyond repair. I need to help her out and find a solution to break that pact with the darkness. After all, the curse was made for me to die, and they did not fulfill their end of the deal."Don't worry, babe… we will find a solution…" I told her I had no idea what I would do, but I knew pretty well who might be able to help. The Circle of the Willow, the coven of the most powerful white witches, might have an answer. She nodded, her breathing still sobbing. "But you need to tell him. He needs to know…" She shook her head. "Yes, Babe… If you do love him, you need to let all your shit out in front of him because if he loves you the way he says, he will forgive you and stick by you through it all. It will not be easy, and he will get angry, but you need to tell him… no matter what, a baby is
Stella POVThe whole night, I was tossing and turning. Why would the Moon Goddess bless their chosen mate bond? I have never heard of anything like it. Also, there is the issue of finding help for Paige and Eulisses. Both have made mistakes, but both are seeking redemption, and they are doing a damn good job at it. They deserve to live a whole life of happiness, and they deserve to get help.I woke up early in the morning. The moon was still out on one side of the horizon, and on the other side, the sun started picking up on the horizon. I stretched my body, and Romeo tightened his grip on my waist. I kissed his cheek tenderly, “Unless you decide to wake up wet like a baby, you’d better let me go…” He immediately released his grip on me while I giggled on my way to the bathroom.As soon as I finished my business, I walked back to bed. His arms wrapped around me immediately. “It’s still early, sweetheart… Rest for a littl
Romeo POVWendy's words were a relief to all of us. We just needed to get to work and get the Circle of the Willow in to help. I guess that is Stella's department. After all, those witches were the ones who saved Stella, and in the end, they faced firsthand the damage Paige meant to give. It would be Stella's duty to convince them to help her sister.As soon as we wrapped up things with Wendy, Stella and I returned to the tour pack. We have a lot of unfinished business to attend to, one in particular quite serious. “Sweetheart, why don't you rest for a while? It is almost an hour's drive.” I suggested it to my mate. She barely slept last night, and I know the pups will be taking a toll on her body, mind, and energy. She nodded and cuddled in the passenger's seat. I took her hand and drove back quietly.As soon as we crossed the borders, I could feel the energy of my pack reconnecting with me. They knew their Alpha and Lu
Romeo POVThe five ladies were inside my office. I had to call an Omega to bring extra chairs due to the fact that Stella was still fast asleep on the couch. “How did you know that Stella would be asking a favor from you?” I curiously asked, and Evangeline piped in“Well, Alpha, we have special powers and abilities. We know everything that is going around,” she announced with solemnity. I hated the feeling of being spied on, and then she burst out laughing,“I am sorry, Alpha… It was just too easy; Stella sent a message on our cell phone.” Everly revealed, while the rest of them squeaked.I hated people joking and making a fool of me, but somehow I managed to control my anger and deal with them. “So, ladies, would you be staying here?” I asked them, but I'm definitely waiting for an answer from Ashia.“Certainly, Alpha, we want to spend some time with our girl and also find out w
Eulisses POV.I got the message from the border patrol that we were under attack. Paige quickly managed to get everyone who couldn't fight to the safety of the castle while I stormed out to the place of the attack. Our warriors were well-trained, thanks to Michael, and we were holding our ground.After a rough start, we were gaining terrain, but I noticed that we were also getting tired. One after one, rogues kept lounging at us, and in the same way, we kept killing them. I was about to give up when I saw a massive wolf showing up, and immediately, I knew it was my brother, Romeo.Help arrived, and I felt relieved that, with new blood coming, we got a new wave of energy and hope. Coral was also attacking, and I saw that Stella had arrived with a group of old ladies. They moved like choreography pulled out of a damn movie, and then I saw Wendy joining them. Were those witches? I guess so because they were holding their gr
Stella POVAfter the devastating outcome of the battle, I am not talking about the injured and dead; I am talking about Luna Mariel being stripped of her title, vanished from her own land, and then imprisoned by her own son.I couldn't care less about her feelings, but I clearly saw the toll it took on my mate. I can read the sadness and pain the whole situation caused him. I can't believe that his own mother is the one who planned an attack on her own son's newly founded pack. I can't believe that all that hatred and evilness could co-exist within one single person. It is hard to wrap my head around where my amazingly caring and loving mate came from.He picked me up in his arms. I knew he was looking for comfort within my touch, and I intended to provide him with reassurance and love. We walked inside the room assigned to us. And with a swift movement, he threw me over the bed. My insides churned with anticipation of w
