Bastien's POV I immediately move off the stool and wrap my arms around my babygirl, pulling her into me and nuzzling my cheek to hers, I whisper into her ear, "babygirl, I love you so fucking much and the peanut inside you, please don't cry." Her body stiffens and her soft giggles fill my ear, "peanut, it's a pup not a food." She moves her head looking at me, "you want it don't you?" I couldn't believe she was asking me that question, "does this smile make you think I don't, fuck my cheeks hurt smiling this wide." Her hand caresses my cheek, her eyes turn serious, "I'm so scared Bastien."I release her waist to cup her face, "me too, but together I know we will rock the shit out of being amazing parents," I kiss her lips quickly, my thumbs wiping away the stray tears off her cheeks. My hands leave her face and land on her shoulders, I spin her towards her parents and wrap my arms gently around her waist, my hands rub on her flat stomach as I pull her back to my front. "Alpha St
Bastien's POV I walk out of the ensuite with a towel around my waist and drying my hair with another. A soft knock at the door got my attention, "come in," I was hoping it was Veronica, but then again, why would she knock? Luna Carol walks in with a suit bag, her eyes immediately go to the floor and a blush creeps on her cheeks, I bite my lower lip, "uhm, sorry Luna give me a minute," I tug on a pair of shorts and throw the towel around my shoulders. "Okay, more descent now."She lifts her head and smiles, "your suit and shirt for the party, I'm sorry we're running late, so Veronica is upstairs getting ready," she lays the suit across the back of the sitting chair and turns to leave. She stops and turn her head at me, "Bastien, I know you love Veronica, and she loves you, the two of you will be able to make this pack as it should be." I take a step towards her, "Luna what does that mean?"Her head drops and shoulder's sag, "It means, you and Veronica will have the power to chang
Veronica's POV 77I look like a fucking clown, no wonder he didn't know how or what to say, I'm not sure is the nicest thing he could have said. I remove the gown and jump in the shower, not caring how late we are now. I mind link Mom, shouting, "I want the person who did my make-up and hair in a cell within the next 5 minutes."Mom responds, "WHAT? Veronica where are you and Bastien and why would you want her in the cells?"I shot a visual of the image I seen in the mirror through our minds and I hear her gasp, "oh goddess, Veronica I, I, I" she studders."Exactly, get the bitch and I mean now, obviously we are detained, we will be there as soon as we can, I don't care what you tell them, but if I walk in and see her, I will let Jazzy out full force." I cut the link and scrub my face as the shampoo runs down my back.I get out of the shower and, put a towel around my hair and body, grab my dress and open the door, only for Bastien to tumble backwards into my legs, he looks up at me
Bastien's POV Nothing could have made this night any better after the makeup and hair fiasco but her sister. After the meal, we went to the garden, the night was cool with a light breeze, the moon was almost full, and the drinks were flowing. I stand and watch my babygirl giggling and dancing with her sister, now that they are side by side I see all the differences, the biggest is that Veronica is a foot taller than Angel, there hair is exactly the same and their eyes, but where Veronica's face is more sharp and defined, Angel's is rounded, full like Luna Carol's. A large hand clasps my shoulder, and I turn my head to find Richard Moon smiling at me, "happy Bastien?"I have to suppress the growl from Tibi as I look at him, his smile is wide and I nod, "couldn't be happier and you?" I watch his face as his eyes move to his Luna, I notice his brown eyes twinkle and Tibi finally relaxes, "she's everything I never thought I wanted and the only thing I can't live without," he raises hi
Veronica's POVDancing between my two best friends, Angel and Rochelle, my thoughts of tonight getting any better than this were soon dashed. Her voice boomed over all the chatter, merriment and music, it hit me like a bucket of ice water in the middle of the Artic. My body froze in its place, my fists curled at my sides and my breathing was heavy. I glared at the woman I once called Mom, Elizabeth stood as regal as ever as her eyes locked with mine, an evil smirk appears on her face as she glances at Angel's small baby bump. She walks straight towards us and instinctively I stand in front of Angel. Her laughter shear evil as she approaches, my eyes never leave her as she stops in front of us. "I see you take after your whore mother," she glares at Angel behind me, "pregnant by an Alpha?" she arches a brow at her. I feel Angels hand on my back, curl into a fist and I know I can't let this escalate and Angel get hurt, I stare at Elizabeth, "Why are you here and what the fuck do
Bastien's POV To say a lot has happened in the last week is an understatement, I watch my babygirl sleep as I go through the week’s events and milestones in my head. Having gotten a glimpse of her biological mother has given some clarity as to why this packs ranked wolves feels entitled, which will be taken care of as soon as we come into power. She snuggles into me and I rub her back, she's had it rough in the mornings, so I'm mindful of her when she wakes, I have about 2 minutes before she needs to be in the ensuite to kneel at the porcelain god for our pup. I smile with the thought of our pup growing inside of her, she's going to be an amazing mother, just like Luna Carol is. I've watched Carol with Angel and Veronica, though they both have separate nicknames she adorned them with, you can see the love she has for both is equal in its depth. She showers them both with affection and caters to them equally, where Veronica has a sweet tooth, Angel is a meat and potato type girl.
Veronica's POVI watched Angel stomp her tiny feet past all of us and out the door, Bastien hot on her heels. I turned and looked at my parents, "what in the goddess' name did I walk into here, what has her so fired up?"Dad's shook his head as he throws his arms in the air, "all I said was I'm glad both my girls found their fated mates," he turns looking at Carol with sadness in his eyes, he takes her hand and softly speaks, "I know how hard it is to not be with your fated mate the way you should be." She falls into him and he wraps his big arms around her tiny frame as she snuggle into his chest.I turn to the fridge and grab a few bottles of water and then a thought strikes me like a lightning bolt and I drop them, and shout "oh dear goddess." My eyes widen at them as they both look at me, Carol's eyes eyes go wide, Dad's expression is of concern as he lets go of her."Veronica are you alright, are you in pain?" he calmly talks as he walks around Carol. I put my hand up to him
Bastien's POVI sit at my desk, looking over the financials’ on the laptop, when her scent hit me and then a soft knock on the door. I chuckle through our mind link, "why are you knocking at your own office door?"The door swings open, she snickers, "old habits die hard I guess," she shrugs as she seductively walks towards me, I slide my chair back and she straddles my lap, her hands run through my hair, "busy Alpha?" she smiles as she leans down and pecks my lips, her hand tightly fisting my hair.I'm already lost in her blue eyes as her hips grind her core against my already hard cock, "not at all little goddess, do you need me to tend to your needs." My hands grip her pert ass and push her down harder into me. She kisses my cheek, then moves to my ear, her hot breath fans my ear as she shrieks, "oh gross," she stiffens and pushes off me and stands, her fists go to her hips, she looks around the room and shakes her head, "all this furniture, needs to be replaced as soon as possibl
Graces’ POVIt’s been 5 years since I became the Queen Luna, the thoughts of this being an easy life far gone from my memory. I look at my gorgeous mate as he sleeps, his godlike features relaxed as if he doesn’t have the weight of the entire supernatural world on his shoulders. I think of the stories of our parents, how difficult it was not only to scent their mates, but to capture their hearts and the difference in our story, we knew, and it took nothing for us to become entangled with one another. I lay rubbing my flat tummy, wishing and praying for a pup to be inside, it’s the only thing we both want at this point, and it just doesn’t happen. I’ve spoken to Momma about it, and she said that it will come in time, not to worry about it, but how can I not, I’m the Queen Luna and have not produced an heir for the entire Kingdom.His voice breaks my thoughts, “Mon amour, please stop worrying,” he kisses my cheek, “I am not complaining about trying to have a pup,” his sexy smile beam
Grace’s POV 108I was about to call out to him, he was leaving me alone in the middle of a dance floor when a low menacing growl came from behind me. I gulped and spun around and staring into the chest of a man. My head tilted up and Blaze stood there, and my heart skipped a beat as his green eyes looked down at me, I smiled, and he took a step closer. His eyes bore into mine and his lips twitched, as if fighting off the urge to smile.I bowed my head, he was making me nervous, maybe I was right, and he didn’t scent me and now he’s going to embarrass me in front of all these people and tell me I’m not his mate. I turned quickly and darted for my parents, only to be caught around the waist and spun into his chest. I heard my mother growling but then she stopped, I wanted to look at her, see what had upset her, but I knew it was because of me. I put my hands on his chest and pushed at him, “let go of me, right now,” I demanded and to my surprise he did. I took a step back and gla
Grace’s POV 109 – 9 years later“I’m not sure about this Momma, we should have stayed in the states and not have everyone come to France for my 18th birthday, what if he was wrong and it was just that I smelled good, but not as a mate should smell.” I can’t help but be shitting myself right now, this seems like a fairytale, and I should be ecstatic over it, but if he was wrong and I’m not his mate then the last 9 years of my life have been a lie and I don’t know if I can deal with that. I was just a kid and yes, I wanted nothing more than for the only living prince that was known to us to be my mate and live a fairytale life, but I’m not a kid and have learned everything a true to life princess should have learned. I learned 5 foreign languages, French, of course, Italian, Russian, Spanish and German. I was sent to etiquette classes and began training the second they left our territory that day. I’ve been groomed to be the perfect Queen, but what if I’m not what he wants, what if
Veronica’s POV “Grace if you don’t sit still, I’ll never get your hair done,” I glare at my 9 year old daughter.She giggled, “sorry Momma, I’m just so excited, I mean the King and Queen are coming here, to our home today, aren’t you excited Momma.”I chuckle, “yes, very, but I’ve met them several times and I know you were a new born when we traveled to France and stayed at their home, but you have met them already.” I stand back and smile, “okay, is that how you wanted your hair today?”She looks in the mirror and smiles, “yes, it’s perfect,” she spins around, “there son, the prince he will be here too?”I arch a brow at her, “aren’t you a bit young to worry about the prince,” I shake my head, “he’s too old for you anyway and is a prince, now you behave yourself around him,” I give her a pointed look.She giggles, “yes, Momma, I’ll just go help Auntie Rochelle with her pup, if that’s okay?”I smiled, “of course, don’t be a nuisance though and thank her for your dress, it was very
Bastien's POV"Okay now, tell Daddy exactly what Jaxson did to make you so angry?" My 4-year-old was so angry that he called his cousin Jaxon a poopy head. I guess that's really bad on Veronica's level of thinking because now I'm trying to reason with my 4-year-old son. Dalton sits with a huff and crosses his arms over his tiny chest and mumbles, "hims better, Qween is hims auntie." I chuckle, "well son, I know the King and Queen too, would you like to meet them?" His eyes go wide, "pweese, Daddy." I nodded at him as I scoop him up, "of course we can and I'm sure Queen Jade will want you to call her auntie too. Now let’s go have some fun okay and no more using potty language to your cousin." I tickle his belly and he laughs, a laugh that warms my heart every time I hear it.We walk back out to the patio, and I place him down, he runs to his uncle Lucas and tackles him, there more like brothers, since they're raised together in the same pack. We live in the cabin that I built
Bastein’s POV – 6 months laterI grabbed Veronica and Dalton and headed for the car, “I can’t wait for you to see it, everything is perfect, just as you wanted.”She giggled, “Bastein, why do you have me blindfolded, this is so silly, I’ve seen the house.”He chuckled, “I know but humor me, just this once.”He helped me out of the car and walked me a few feet, “okay take off the blindfold.”Veronica removed the blindfold and looked straight ahead, the squeal that left her lips was ear-piercing as she saw Rochelle standing on the front porch. They moved towards each other and hugged, “I missed you so much Veronica,” Rochelle whispered.Veronica spoke, “I missed you too, let me get a good look at you,” she pulled her to arm’s length, scanning her from head to toe and then back. “How have you been, how’s the new Alpha, your business’, tell me everything,” Veronica spoke with excitement.I heard a chuckle and looked behind them as Mason appeared, he put his arm around Rochelle and kisse
Veronica’s POV 103I couldn’t help but swoon at some of the story Mom was telling, it was bittersweet to think that their love could survive so many years of torture, being so close yet so far had to overwhelm both of them. I thought of my mother, Elziabeth and just how this could have affected her as well, to know that her chosen was in love with another woman, could that had made her so bitter and hateful or was she that way from the beginning. Bastien brought me out of my thoughts as he cooed at Dalton, “so little man what will it be sleep or Momma?”I giggled, “give him here, he’s hungry,” Bastien smiled and handed him to me as he slid next to me in the bed. He cleared his throat as Dalton latched on to my breast, “he’s so greedy with my toys,” he chuckled.I side eyed him, “only for a few years, then they are all yours, unless you knock me up again, then you’ll have to wait longer,” I smiled as I looked at him, his brows furrowed but had a sweet smile on his face.He hummed, “
Luna Carol’s POVHe looked at me with tears in his eyes, "I'm so very sorry, this is my fault that our pup left and felt so valueless, I'll find her and win you both back." He gathered the cards and handed me the letter before turning and walking out of the kitchen. I finally let out the breath I was holding and collapsed on the floor, Callie, my wolf perked up "he loves us, he always has, you need to give him a chance," she purrs. I shake my head, "I know he was in a bad situation all these years, but I don't know if I can forgive him this easily," I scoffed at her. Callie howled in my head, "are you stupid, you know he never slept with her or anyone after us, do you know how hard that is for an Alpha, their libido is like off the charts, he has been celibate all these years, when that man blows,' she shuttered, "Oh goddess please let him blow with us, it will be mind-blowing for sure." I shook my head at her, "seriously, you’re thinking of fucking him right now?" She snickered
Alpha Steven’s POVI looked at my son in laws, both with knowing looks on their faces, I know for certain Bastien has been on his knees, pleading for a chance with Veronica, and by the look in Richard’s eyes, he’s been there as well. I hug Carol tighter to my chest and kiss her temple, “I’ve made so many mistakes in this life, and yet I still have the things in this world that are most important to me right here.” I nodded, where was I, “It took everything I had to leave Carol at the Omega quarters, she refused to come back with us to the pack house saying "Alpha, Luna Elizabeth ordered me here and gave me duties to the guards, I will do as my Luna requests until she reassigns me," she nodded and showed me the door. I could feel her sadness through our bond, as weak as our bond has become throughout the years, I still feel her. My heart broke as I took Veronica's hand, and we left her there. On our walk back to the pack house Veronica asked, "Daddy, what are you going to do with
