Luther I woke up to movement. I looked down and saw Lexi’s legs intertwined with mine. Her head on Ryan’s chest, her arm wrapped around his waist. I saw Ryan trying to lift Lexi’s arm and scoot out from under her. “ You alright, man?” I linked him. “ Yea, I just can’t sleep,” he linked back. “ Want me to help move her?” I asked. “ I was going to get up so I don’t disturb the both of you. But she has a good hold on me.” he laughed. “ I warned you she likes to cling in her sleep.” I chuckled. “ Yea, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.” Ryan said. He is right about that. We stayed in silence for a few minutes. “ Want to talk about what’s on your mind?” I asked him. We are a unit. We are supposed to work as a team. If I can help him sort out what is bothering him I will give it a try. “ You mean besides this bullshit with Valerose. It is my mom and Lexi’s idea about merging the packs.” Ryan said. “ I’m going to take a page from Lexi’s book. Let’s take one thing at a time. We can’
Ryan We aren’t in my mom’s apartment for five minutes and she looks like she wants to start shit just because we brought Luther along. I wasn’t joking when I said we would leave. She is the one who wanted to talk. We don’t have time for her bullshit. I know Lexi and Luther think I should at least hear my mom out since she is my mom. I want to but I won’t have her spouting garbage about the way our relationship works. Like I said, we are a team. All three of us. My mom needs to accept it. I sit on the couch with Lexi and Luther. Mom said she wanted to start over from when we walked in. So I’m not going to say a word until she does. When mom sits and sees I’m opening my mouth she does. “ Ryan, thank you for seeing me. You too Lexi.” she said. “ Don’t thank me. Thank Lexi. She was the one who convinced me to see you. I’m still pissed at you.” I said. “ I know, son. I wanted to say that I’m sorry. In my heart I thought I was doing the right thing for you and our pack.” mom said. I wan
Lexi I knew Skyline was in pain. As much as I hated it for Kent and Ryan I wasn’t going to put a stop to it. Ryan and Kent needed to hear what was in her head. And I wasn’t going to tell them. They needed to hear it from her. And what I saw I don’t think that was all of it. No I’m not a mind reader. I only saw what she was thinking at the moment. Just a few images and I could feel her emotions from those images. Got to tell you she is pissed at me. She thinks I ruined all her plans. Skyline screams out in pain “ Make it stop you bitch.” “ It will stop when you start talking.” I said calmly. The more she fights the more pain she will be in. I hold no sympathy for her. She has hurt my Ryan. “ How can you let her do this to me? I’m your mate.” Skyline groans. She is a second away from vomiting she is so much pain. I can tell by the way she keeps gagging. “ If you just talk the pain will stop.” Kent said. “ I don’t have to tell you anything.” Skyline yelled. I have had enough of he
Luther I can’t believe Ryan had to put his mom in a cell. And the things that woman said. What a power hungry bitch. I have never been so grateful for the mom I have. Lexi stayed close to Ryan and Kent after what we heard. She kept her calming glow around then as much as possible. I know Lexi was hurting with them. She could feel their pain. I could feel some of Ryan’s but I know he was trying to keep it to himself. When it was time to head back for Lexi to go to school Ryan stayed at his pack to handle some things there. I decided to escort Lexi to school on Monday. I could tell she was having a hard time being away from Ryan so I stuck close. We were walking through the courtyard when Lexi suddenly stops. Tyler, Melissa, Dean and I go on alert. Lexi sniffs around and turns her head towards the English building. But I follow her and see she isn’t looking at the building but past it. Lexi motions her head for us to follow her as she heads toward it. Lexi doesn’t go in but to the
I am frustrated beyond belief. My witches are worthless. I supposedly have some of the strongest, most powerful dark witches at my disposal. And yet the can't give a definite answer on how to override Lexi's mating mark with mine. Well, they can but all the answers they have given me involve hurting Lexi or causing her pain. I don't want that. I refuse to cause pain to my future queen. That is not the way I'm going to get her over to my side. She will hate me and resent me if I cause her any pain. I'm so pissed I have already killed two witches. The remaining have to start over from scratch to give me the answers I want. It is very simple. I want to mark Lexi without causing her pain. How hard can that be? Apparently very hard. I was waiting for my warriors that I assigned to Lexi to come back. I have four warriors watching while she is at school. That is the only place we know she will be for sure. Everything else is a guessing game. We don't know what pack she goes to. And the wo
Ryan After school Lexi and Luther were meeting me at a spot I think would be perfect for the new packhouse. At least I hope it is the perfect spot. We won't be able to tell until Lexi gives her thoughts on it. Anything we do Luther and I agreed to include Lexi in all of our decisions. And since this was her idea we defiantly want to know what she thinks. And Lexi has a several ideas. Some I just want to smack myself in the head for not thinking about it myself. Most of her ideas if we sat and thought about it are pretty much common sense. Or at least it should have been. Like frequent gathering with other packs to give the unmated a chance to find their mates. Like an friendly barbeque or a semiformal ball. Or inviting other pack’s warriors to come train with us and us with them to learn different techniques. And that is just a few of her ideas. I was feeling like an idiot. Luther told me not to be too hard on myself. Dad said the same thing. Lexi didn’t come up with these ideas
Lexi As sweet as it is to watch Jesse and Annabelle I need to move this love fest forward. We have things to do. I kiss Ryan’s and Luther’s cheek and tell them I’ll be right back. I approach the love birds that are just staring at each other. “ Congratulations to both of you.” I say. That startles both of the causing them to jump apart. I want to laugh at them but I don’t. I hold it in. “ Oh, my queen. I didn’t see you there.” Annabelle said. “ No, worries. You are looking at you mate. I understand. Since you two haven’t exchanged names yet, let me have the privilege.” I said holding my hand out to Annabelle. She takes it and I say “ Annabelle, I would like you to meet Jesse from Aspen Rain.” “ Jesse.” she whispers looking into his eyes. “ Jesse, my loyal guardian meet Annabelle.” I said. “ Beautiful name for a beautiful lady.” Jesse whispered. He is so cute when he is being cheesy. I look at Annabelle as I hold out my hand to Jesse waiting for her permission. Annabelle nods s
Luther We sat holding Lexi until it was time for dinner. We always have to go down to the dinning room ten minutes early because Lexi likes to visit with everyone that shows up to eat in the packhouse. It happens no matter what packhouse we are at. She wants to find out how everyone is doing and how there day was. She also uses the time to find out if anyone is having any issues Ryan or I need to be aware of. It took us three times to figure out a system so our food wouldn’t get cold. The first time it happened it was at my pack and the second was at Ryan’s. We figured it was just Lexi getting to know everyone. Nope, she does it every time. The people in Ryan’s pack were taken back by Lexi wanting to get to know them. All of them. She would talk to the kitchen staff, the gardener, the house keepers, nurses, daycare workers, warriors, you name it. If you are part of the pack Lexi is talking to you and making sure you were doing well and had everything you needed. It took Ryan’s
Ryan I know when Valerose showed up at the ceremony you thought there would be some epic battle.Some were probably hoping for it. Part of me was. The other part of me didn’t want to see Lexi go through it. It was always going to be Lexi that took Valerose out. Oh, Luther and I were going to help but it was going to be Lexi that killed him. I didn’t want her to have to deal with that. It would destroy her. I couldn’t stand to watch her go though it. So if we have to put up with a vampire as Lexi’s third mate then so be it. Luther and I talked about this extensively last night while Lexi was alone with Valerose. We needed to do something to keep our mind off of what was happening in the other room. No, we weren’t jealous. I honestly thought we would be at least a little. Even our wolves didn’t have a problem. Luther figured it was we knew he was her mate it didn’t bother us just like it didn’t bother us when either of us touched Lexi. No, we had to keep ourselves busy because as much
Luther As the wolves went for their snack Mary came up to us. “ My kings, breakfast is being put out.” That was Mary’s way of telling that we needed to get Lexi moving or she would never get a warm meal. Each cook gives us a ten minute heads up so Lexi can make her rounds. Now it is time to get Valerose involved in Lexi’s routine. He needs to learn so why not start now. “ Baby, why don’t you grab your coffee and head to the dining room.” I suggest. Lexi finally gets up off the floor. She has been watching the wolves since they left to eat. Lexi has always been protective over them. I feel it will get worse now that there are pups on the way. I don’t have a problem with it. It’s her motherly instinct. Her Luna instinct. “ She will be a wonderful mother to our pups. Arya as well.” Diesel said. “ I know buddy.” I agree. Lexi smiles, gives me a kiss on the cheek before doing the same to Ryan and Valerose before grabbing her coffee and heading to the dining room. Ryan stands from his c
Valerose Holy Goddess. Lexi has a sexual appetite that has no bounds. After we had sex the first time we went two more rounds. The second I explored every inch of her body with my hands and tongue before I made slow love to her. The third was a quick hard fuck. My mate seems to enjoy it anyway I take her. After the third round we laid in bed, our arms and legs tangled together, coming down from our orgasmic highs. We fell asleep with Lexi’s head on my chest. I figured we would both be out for the night. Boy was I wrong. I don’t know how much time had passed, however I do know what woke me up. It was Lexi’s lips around my dick. That led to another round of sex. I swear we didn’t sleep, just napped throughout the night. She has incredible stamina. I guess she would have to so she will be able to keep three mates satisfied. Or was it that she needed three mates to keep her satisfied? The thought makes me smile as Lexi rolls off my lap where she just finished riding me into another
Lexi I took Valerose to Ryan’s packhouse since it was technically the closest. I could feel how anxious Val has been to get me alone. I don’t think he realizes it yet that I can feel his emotions even though we haven’t mated yet and he hasn’t marked me. I know he wants me alone. Yet, he has shown incredible patience. For the stories I have heard patience is not something Val is known for. Rumors, hearsay, is all that is. I need to put all that aside and get to know Val, the man, my mate. The person he is beyond what others think they know. I get the feeling there is so much that he doesn’t show the world. Some he may not know himself. We will figure it out together if that is the case. As we are driving I see Val looking around like he is trying to get his bearings. I know he has never been here before. I take his hand and cradle it in my. Val turns to me with a curious look. “ I can’t thank you enough for how patient you were back there.” I told him. Val smiles. A true smile. On
Valerose I feel like I’m in one of my dreams. I have Lexi in my arms, pressed against my chest dancing. She is smiling up at me. The look in her eyes. It is what I believe is love. Since I have never seen that look directed at me I’m not sure. I have had women look at me with lust or fear. But never love. I have however seen this same gleam in Lexi’s eyes when she looks at Ryan and Luther so I’m pretty sure it is love or at least the beginning of it. I will know for sure when I hear the words from her mouth. For now I’m just going to enjoy the real Lexi pressed against my chest. No longer a dream I have the real thing in my arms. It is better than all my dreams combined. I wasn’t sure if I would ever get to do this. There was a good chance Lexi would reject me. She still can. “ She was never going to reject you without giving you a fair chance. That’s who she is.” Arya says in my head. Am I ever going to get used to that? “ You are going to have to. As for Lexi rejecting you in the
Luther Val took the time to introduce us to all the vampires present. He could have just introduced Lexi but I saw he made a point to include Ryan and me. I do believe the guy is trying. If he succeeds only time will tell. You don’t just stop being an asshole that was wantinng to rule over all shifters. He has got some work ahead of him. Ryan and I will be watching for him to screw up. I don’t think Lexi will let Valerose fail. After we got done with the vampires Lexi led us over to the wolves. Lexi kept Valerose close by holding his hand. The other hand was firmly in my grasp. Ryan had his hand on her back. All of her mates were touching her just the way she liked it. Lexi was attempting to talk to all the wolves present when Tyler, Jesse, Melissa and Billy came to us. The girls were giggling so I knew they were up to know good. My gut is telling me in the fun way. They bow to Lexi and us. “ My kings. We insist on stealing the queen for a few minutes.” Melissa giggled. Billy al
Ryan I was shocked when Valerose showed up. I figured he would fight the mate pull a little longer. Luther and I stayed close to Lexi but this was her show. We were going to let her deal with him how she saw fit. It would end one of two ways. She was going to accept him or reject him. If a fight broke out she was going to kill him. Luther and I were just there to support her in whatever choice she made. When he freed those wolves I knew he made his choice to accept Lexi. It was a good move on his part. Then the Goddesses showed up. I swear nothing should surprise me anymore. Not with Lexi around. From the way, she brought packs that had never been associated with each other together. Or the way she handles two mates. Now three. Don’t get me wrong, Lexi made Valerose work for claiming her. I had to hold in my laughter watching this powerful vampire look so confused and unsure. Only Lexi could bring a fearless vampire to his knees. Literally. When she wanted him to prove his love
Valerose“ It is rare my queen. It is not a gift I intend on taking for granted.” I tell her. Lexi smiles even brighter. “ Good answer, old man.” her wolf says again. I try to talk to the wolf not sure how this works. “ If you are going to continue to insult me could you tell me your name?” I asked hoping it worked. “ My name is Arya. I’m not insulting you. I’m speaking the truth. You are old” Arya giggled. “ It is good to know that you are accepting your gift. How do you plan claiming your mate? Words won’t be enough. I’m sure you can understand that considering your history with wolves.” Lexi smirks. It seems my girl wants me to prove myself to her. I can do that. Here goes nothing. I look at the vampires around me including Embrose and discreatly nod. Embrose didn’t like this when I told him my plan. After seeing he also wolf mate I hoping this may help sway her. As well as convince him we are doing the right thing..” You are correct, my queen. Words will never be enough.”I tell
It took me a few days and a few dreams to figure out what Lexi was talking about. Then I felt stupid for not realizing it sooner. I needed to tune myself into Lexi. I needed to feel her energy. It was a matter of me shutting my head off and trusting my instincts. Today felt like the day to do it too. So I gathered the wolves I freed and along with Embrose, we set out. Yes, I freed twenty wolves. I did it for Lexi. I wanted to show her how serious I am about her. I will be freeing the rest soon. I can’t rule by Lexi’s side if I’m still holding wolves captive. Yes, I have accepted that my life is going to change. I’m hoping for the better. I wanted to fight my attraction to Lexi. I didn’t want any part of her or her wolves. I wanted to rule over everyone. That was until the Vampire Goddess got involved. She showed me what life could be like with Lexi. I have told you about some of those visits. What no one knows is that Amira showed me my life if I chose to continue on the path I
