MARIE
“I’d need my mom to ‘show’ you,” I laughed lightly at Terran's question, “my abilities don’t really work like that.” I sighed leaning back into my chair. “I guess you already know now.”
“I could guess,” Terran set the flower down and gave me his full attention, “and you don’t have to tell me the rest until you’re ready, I-”
“I want to,” I interrupted him, setting my own flower down, “it’s not fair to you to keep this from getting in between us. It all connects to Mato’s visit this morning. I’m going to assume you knew of my dad,” he shook his head yes, everyone did. “My mom, she’s half-witch, but as far as we know, I’m the only one who got any abilities from her. She’s pretty powerful, has a lot of them, she didn’t even know how to wield them properly but she used them to help her escape when she was taken.”

MYLO Going to check on Marie only aggravated me, and Mato making Dahlia uncomfortable asking when our next would be coming along made me wonder why I ventured out at all. I should have known better than to start the day off with those two. I tried to spend as much time as I could with Dahlia, but the past week seemed like she was busier than me. The pack was buzzing with excitement over the upcoming Luna ceremony, where Dahlia had also agreed to become a Krul, like my mother. “Desperation... ” Marie mused as she walked down the steps of the main house, where I stood waiting outside because my mother insisted that I wasn’t allowed to even wait in the lobby while she stole Dahlia for hours on end, “it doesn’t look good on an Alpha.” “Is she done?” I grit my teeth
DAHLIAI touched my fingertips to my lips, missing Mylo's touch already and trying to lull the pulse from where he kissed me goodbye. The girls had all insisted that he leave, but if it were up to me, we would have been inseparable from the minute we woke up.Nora was being stolen from Marie by her mother as a flurry of hair and makeup supplies were laid out. Now that the boys were gone, they meant business, and I was gently corralled into a seat while they got to work.My new family really had skills, and I felt extremely grateful I had them around me for this.My Family. They were chaotic but it made it fun, and even though some of them were wildly unimpressed with how many grandchildren Kallan wanted, I'd always dreamed of a large family. Mylo had eight sibl
MARIEEvery time I looked at Terran, every time he looked my way I could still feel it. The pure pulse of energy that flowed through us as we kissed. The taste of a warm spiciness from his lips that wrapped around me and filled me up all at the same time. Our first kiss. My first kiss.It was that kiss that changed something between us, and neither of us could come back from it. I can still picture the slight blush on his face when he released me. His hard length pressed into my core as he had me pinned to the wall, the light giggle that ripped through me when my eyes opened alerting him to what was happening. Flowers, everywhere.‘This has NEVER happened before,’ he had murmured as he looked around in awe. We’ve had to practice a lot, you know, f
TERRAN“Welcome back gorgeous,” I smiled at her, grateful to have her back in my arms. All kinds of wolves were flowing through the treeline, shifting, some having the audacity to look at Marie’s bare backside in a way they shouldn't be. I placed her shirt I was holding back over her, careful not to look at what I desperately wanted to look at. This was a time for them where sexuality played no part, and I wanted to respect her and her wolf counterpart. When I laid my eyes on her for the first time, it would be her choice. “Kalia is amazing, I can see why you’re so attached.”“Are you ok?” She was watching me glance at everyone returning, a good portion of whom were bearing each other’s marks. I wish I could give that to her.
MARIE “I want to…” I whispered, and I did, “I’m just…” Goddess how do I even finish that statement without ruining the moment. I should have just said I wanted to and went with the flow. Terran was waiting for me to finish that sentence, my hopes that he would just know that I was a virgin was officially dwindling until his eyes dilated and he leaned down for a kiss. “I’ve got you gorgeous,” he whispered, kissing down my neck as he skillfully removed my pants and then his. I was in love with him. I trusted him explicitly and I knew when he said that, he truly meant it in more ways than one. Every press of his lips to my skin began shooting sparks of pleasure into me, seemingly bouncing around inside of me bef
MARIETerran pulled me into his side, sliding the blankets around us as we steadied our breathing.That was… there’s just not a word to describe the level of amazing it was. I’m sore and exhausted, but I already want him buried deep inside of me over and over again until I die from sex. How do people leave their beds?"Good," he said as I looked at him, the biggest grin possible on his face, "I was worried about how you'd be feeling." He slid his hand along my cheek and carefully brought me in for a soft kiss that had my core clenching, "But with the way you're looking at me, you can't be that sore," he winked and laid his head back down.I should be worried about him, marking someone can take a lot out of the
MATO"Sweetheart, please..." I begged Jazmin to come back to bed as I heard her rustling around in the bathroom. It was too early for this. She was supposed to stay in bed all day with me after running all night.“I’m exhausted but the Luna has invited us all for a visit while Mylo trains today,” Jazmin called out while she was braiding her hair.“Why the hell is Mylo training today?” I sat up, still half asleep as she came around the corner to fully look at me, “I thought Alderic was doing it, and later… what time is it even?”“Terran’s going,” she was raising her eyebrows weirdly with an even weirder smile plastered on her face, “and training is in an hour, it’s already two.”
MYLO ‘Terran will be at training today,’ was the update link I received from Alderic prompting my very sleep-deprived day. I dropped Dahlia and Nora off at the main house to visit with some of the other ladies as I headed over early. I could count on Alderic to give me a full report of Terran’s skill level, but I wanted to see it first hand. I should have seen this coming, I should have known that Mato would make things right before the ceremony, but either way, I regret no part of ravaging my new wife until the sun came up. Imagine my surprise when Terran was already waiting on us with Marie plastered to his side. “I didn’t know the ‘second in line,’ needed training as well,” I mused. I’d never heard her refer to
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.
