The house was just how Marie described it sitting within the trees, practically squished by them, with a thick layer of frost hanging onto the branches. I never would have found this on my own, I owed Marie a lot, and even more since we’ve arrived. She’s somehow helped bridge things between Dahlia and me, even now as she’s dropping the baby in my arms.
We were too wrapped up in our mate's presence that there wasn't time yet to process how I felt about the fact that there was now a baby involved, let alone time for me to gauge how Kai was reacting. As Marie lowered her into my arms I was skeptical of how a baby that’s not ours was going to go over with him, but she seemed solid in her assumption that holding her would settle out Kai, and she was correct.
I could feel the effects of Kai's relaxation ripple through me as th

DAHLIA Angel. Mylo has called me that a few times now, and I have to admit that every time I think of him I think of heavenly things too. ‘That’s because he is ours,’ Orla chimed in. She was finally at peace with our mate by our side and I couldn’t argue with her on anything after what I put her through. I was trying to stay guarded still around him, but every breath I took delivered his sweet apple scent to me. That little bit of cinnamon spice showing through his personality and his calming vanilla adding to the demise of any notion I had to keep my distance. "Nora," Mylo confirmed her name after he asked about it, and I swear if heaven had a sound, it would be his voice.

MATOThe plans were made, we just didn’t have a date. Jazmin knew she’d never have much notice, but she was truly as sweet as she smelt, regardless of how her mouth makes her sound.It didn’t surprise me when it was Miah who called me, that girl was the true center of anything gossip-worthy and somehow always had news before everyone else. Marek had called me five minutes later, swearing before he hung up the phone after I told him I was already packing up.With Marek and Mazin's help, there was a house already set up for us with most of our important things already moved in. Jazmin's mother, Sophie, would have a spot at the care home less than two blocks away from us. That would be the hardest adjustment on Jazmin, but her mom's Alzheimers required someone who could care for her full time.

MYLOThe addition to the house, my house, was spacious enough that we wouldn't need to upgrade for a while, and when we did it would likely be to swap with my parents now that most of my siblings were older and starting to branch off into their own places."It's fully soundproof," I tell Dahlia as I set her bags down in the master bedroom, "you can keep Nora in her bassinet or there's a crib in that corner until you settle in. I'll have whatever you like brought to set up the nursery in the next room."Dahlia laid Nora down and tucked her hair behind her ear as she approached me, peaches and florals filling my senses as she spoke, “Thank you Mylo.” She visibly stiffened as my chest rumbled on its own and I struggled to keep Kai under control in her presence.

DAHLIA I had no clue what to expect once we got back to Timber, but I was happy when he left us here alone for a while, regardless of Orla trying to seduce him into staying. She barely got out a whimper, but that was enough to make him rip himself from our presence, and had I not had a better handle on her, she was sure to push him and his wolf over the edge. 'Go find our mate,' Orla whined, keeping me up as I tossed and turned even though Nora was sleeping better than she had in a long time. 'What don't you understand?' I hissed back at my wolf who was clearly not thinking straight, ‘What about Nora? You want a life with your mate, well I’m willing to give that up for her.’

MYLO The run did nothing. Absolutely, fucking, nothing. As soon as I entered the house her scent enveloped me and stirred up Kai all over again. I dismissed Alderic immediately, watching as she hesitated to turn around and face me. Seeing her with her back turned to me was even harder to resist, Kai imagined her as the perfect prey. Our little unsuspecting mate, with her golden hair, was swooped over one shoulder exposing her neck. What I wouldn't do right now to slide my hands down her sides and leave my mark on her neck. I could hear the echoes of the gasp she would make, the rush of pain that would be forgotten as the intense pleasure of it all would hit us. 'Mine.' I had to adjust myself before she turned arou

MYLO I still couldn't believe Dahlia was actually here. Being away from her was painful, but walking into the house and being surrounded by her scent was instantly calming. She was in the bedroom fixing Nora up for the day, unaware of just how beautiful she was as she pushed her hair behind her ear so it wouldn't get in her way. "Would you like to get out of the house for a bit?" I asked, setting some piece of cloth she asked for on the bed as she was changing Nora. "Doing what?" She skillfully wrapped the cloth around her and Nora, effectively holding Nora to her chest without the use of her hands. "A walk," I locked into her eyes that seemed more blue than green today and she nodded. We travelled down

DAHLIA Silly me, I thought this walk was about getting to know me and spending some time with me. Apparently, it was just to butter me up for information that Mylo wanted. Mylo tried to give me a rundown on his siblings, but once we entered the clearing trying to remember all of that became a task. The clearing was gorgeous, and a beautiful notion that I tried not to get too swept up in wishing would be part of Nora’s future. The way he confirmed he wanted an heir sent a familiar chill through me. I thought maybe I could expect more, but it was naive to think he was any more than tolerating Nora for my benefit. I was alone here, more so out in the middle of the forest in a spot where no one dared trespass, being so personal to th

MYLO “You’re perfect,” I tipped her chin up and revelled in her perfect features, “more than I imagined. More than I remembered.” ‘We have an incident at the east tower involving three trainees, one of which we’ve called the pack doctor for.’ I stepped back from Dahlia, feeling the anger pulse through me as Kai battled with me to stay. He could sense Dahlia lowering her defences with us, and to him, this was the perfect opportunity for us to mark her. I tried to remain calm as I stepped away from her so she wouldn’t misconstrue where my anger was being placed. I wanted to stay, but being Alpha meant there was more than one person who needed me at any given time, and as much as I wanted to mark Dahlia for my own at that moment, I also wanted it to be her c

MYLO “Isabelle will be stripped of her powers until she is determined to not be a threat anymore,” Xander informed us. The room had been cleared of everyone but the royals, myself, Dahlia and Nora. “We have someone in Shadow Forest who can accomplish it and make sure it’s maintained,” Brianna said as she assessed me, “your father informed us that you would like the right to end Marcus’s life. Are you positive that you want to bear that burden, that you have thought about having to tell Nora in the future?” “We have,” I glanced down at Dahlia and Nora. “It’s my job to protect them, no one else should have to burden themselves with Marcus’s death. Nora will understand, if she cares to ask, that it was her life or his.” “With me then,” Xander motioned for me to fol

BRIANNA I was hesitant to keep my heirs in here for this, but the boys assured me they needed to see. Orion explained the nature of what was about to happen to Mylo and Dahlia who have both chosen to join us. “I’d like my mate to join me,” Marie’s timid voice rang out, “but if that’s not something you’d prefer, I would still like to remain.” Seeing as though Octavia would just fill him in later anyways, I gave her a nod of approval and Timber’s Beta was charged with keeping Nora safe in the next room. When Marcus came into the room, there was a shift in energy, as was to be expected, but when Terran entered the room, Dixon became visibly stiff. I knew Dixon had issues surrounding Fae, but to see such a strong immediate reaction was surprising. I guess he didn’t know that Marie’s mate was Fae until now.

BRIANNA Alaric may have felt like Nixon’s outburst was harmless, but anytime he let his powers slip was dangerous. I wanted to talk to him about it, not that it would change anything, but I also felt like I had talked about it with him until I was blue in the face. Nixon wanted to let his powers loose, he had been practicing with them lately, and I knew Octavia could help him to an extent, but it just seemed too dangerous to let his secret out. How many species would come for him? How would we stop them or protect him? Not only that, but I know from experience the hunger for controlling power killed my parents, Dez’s parents, and most of what should have been my pack. The problem was that he was too carefree, too powerful, and getting too old now for us to hold him back.

MYLOSomething happened between Nixon and Terran, what I wasn’t sure, but we could find out about it later when we had privacy.My mother scooped up Nora instantly when everyone made their way to the tables, positioning herself across from us, beside Brianna.“I’m glad to see your sister’s mate,” Xander started as he glanced down to where they sat at the far end of the table from us, “doesn’t insult easily.”“He’s used to dealing with my brother’s,” I smiled, “and he is mated to Marie.”“You’re too hard on her,” Wyatt laughed as he pulled Brianna into his lap, “what did you expect with parents like yours,&rdqu

TERRANMylo tried to prepare me for meeting their royals, and although they were something to take notice of, they clearly didn’t have the same effect on me as they did on everyone else. Marie was already wound tighter than cramped roots over everything that was going on, but when they walked in, every hair on her body stood at attention. Once they were in front of her, her energy shifted again as she dropped into a calm state that I hadn’t been able to get her to since the Marcus and Izzy incident.The kings were just how they described them, beastly in their appearance, dead inside if their facial expressions were any indication. Other than a side smile to the Luna, they were basically emotionless, standing by like psychopaths just waiting to be unleashed by their queen.When the heirs were introdu

DAHLIA I jolted at the sound when one of the kings cleared his throat. Watching the Queen be smitten with Nora was bringing a new level of comfort and happiness to me, a product I’m sure of the loyalty their blood brought out in me. It was a weird emotion to identify, but I felt in debt to them somehow when I’d only just met them, like any negative thought I could muster to think was suddenly gone and replaced with an intense need to appease them. My whole body seemed so relaxed now, a stark contrast to moments before they walked in, and it was easy to get swept away in watching the Queen take in Nora, so much so that I forgot anyone else was in the room with us. “You’ll have to excuse Brianna,” he started as he picked up my hand and kissed the top of it, “she’s apparently lost her mind now that a baby is

DAHLIAI was a nervous train wreck even though I tried not to let it show. I held my head steady as we walked into the packhouse, every wolf we passed looking at us with caution as we passed by.‘Your instincts are correct,’ Mylo linked me as he squeezed my hand slightly when we entered the dining area, ‘but you are safe here, so try to enjoy yourself, Luna.’‘That was definitely not the impression you just gave to Terran,’ I linked back as I caught sight of his parents. After he was done re-explaining things to Terran, I felt as though I had been given the child version of his warnings.&lsq

MYLO When Marie and Terran arrived they were escorted to an accommodation close to us to get settled in. Dahlia was pacing back and forth as I fed Nora. Anxious, like myself, to get the next few days over with, but it shouldn’t be long before Alderic is back to get ready for supper. Supper would be a good distraction for her as she focuses on the royals, but it posed another level of worry for me. While the royals never posed a threat to us before, Wyatt was unpredictable at best and I haven't had contact with the heirs often enough to be able to judge their behaviours. Dahlia's eyes were slightly glossed over as she 'tidied' up the place, pausing at one point and staring out of one of the windows at the front.I pla

MYLO “Is she pissed?” Alderic asked as I stepped outside to wait for Dahlia. “No,” I shook my head, “but you’re lucky SHE was the one who submitted you.” “Yea that one’s on me,” he shook his head, "all this Alpha energy is making Leto brazen. You'd think he'd be the opposite, I mean he's no coyote," he looked at me and laughed lightly, tucking his hands into his pockets, "but he's used to being around it, we've done things like this since we were kids." Leto had a history of trying to outrank other leaders so it didn’t come to me as a surprise. What mattered most to me was that he was already tempering Leto before Dahlia made him submit and that I knew when it came down to it that he would lay down his life for her and Nora.
