Today is my wedding day. With all of the craziness that is going on in our world right now, Hakeem and Gael have been my light in the darkness. I love them more than I ever thought possible. I am so excited that we will all share the same last name, along with the matebond. And I have a special surprise for them later.Carmen, Arya, Charlie, Sandra, Lily, Bhakti, Karamea, and Patrice are in the room with me as I get my hair and make-up done. Charlie insisted that I have them done professionally and I have been sitting here for what feels like hours as I’ve been primped and prodded to have my nails painted, hair removed from almost my entire body, a soothing massage, hair done, and make-up applied.Luckily, I’m not the only one. All of the girls were part of the process, even though we’ve only elected to have Zak, Kristoff, and Carmen up at the altar with us. Zak will be giving me away as the alpha
Mi cielo has always been beautiful. There was never a time in her life that she wasn’t. But she’s never looked so ethereal. So stunning. All I want to do is look at her like this for the rest of my life. As she comes to a stop in front of us, all I feel in my own mind and through the matebond is pure and utter joy. “Please sit,” Declan tells everyone. It is only then that I notice that everyone had stood when Meredith had exited the packhouse. I had been so memorized by her beauty that I didn’t even realize. “Dear pack members, family, and friends, on behalf of our alpha, luna, and beta, I want to welcome you here, tonight.” Declan’s voice is loud and warm as he looks out on the hundreds of wolves that are seated in a circle around the altar. “Though they have already mated in the eyes of our Goddess and a full trio, they wish to combine their bloodlines, taking our alpha’s last name. In the sig
While the pictures are being taken and Gael and Hakeem head upstairs to get their surprise, the reception begins. Outside, under the stars with the moon shining down, the omegas and wedding planners have set up a dancefloor, buffet tables, and tables for the hundreds of wolves to sit and eat. Champagne and alcohol flow freely and the hors d’oeuvres are delicious. The trios are spread throughout the reception.______________________________________DevinArya has been the happiest we’ve seen her in over a week. Her eyes sparkle, her face glows. She’s been getting better since her talk with my mom and I can’t help but wonder what they talked about. I haven’t asked. All I can do is thank my mother profusely. Our Arya is coming back to us.“Dance with me,” she says, pulling me and Xander onto the dance floor.
A genuine smile lights up Meredith’s face. “Open them! It’s not like they’re going to bite you.” I look at Hakeem, both of our faces puzzled. I turn back to the envelope that Meredith gave me. Slowly, I wedge my finger under the flap, breaking the seal. Hakeem undoes the bow. We open our “surprises” at the same time that Meredith uses the remote to turn off the music that is playing loudly throughout the room. I stare at the contents of the envelope without fully comprehending what I am seeing. My mouth is open, my eyes wide. After a few seconds, I glance over at Hakeem and see the same expression on his face. I look down and what I see in my hands finally comes into focus. A sonogram. It’s a sonogram. Two little beans seem to float in a black and white striated space. I look over to what Hakeem is holding in his hands and see a positive pregnancy test resting in the necklace box.
We are gone for about another 45 minutes before we get a mindlink from Kristoff. Where are you guys? The caterer is ready to serve dinner, but they won’t do that without you here.I am balls deep inside of Merry, fucking her from behind. Gael is behind me and railing me as hard as he can.Cinco minutos mas, amigo. Estamos en medio de algo en este momento. (Five more minutes, friend. We’re in the middle of something right now.) Even Gael’s mindlink voice is husky and winded as he pumps in and out of my ass.I don’t want to know! I. Don’t. Want. To. Know! Just get down here fast. Kristoff’s voice is fast and high pitched, almost panicky in his attempt to get out of the conversation as fast as possible.I would laugh, but Gael thrusts into me deeply and all I can do is moan at the feeling. Merry’s moan echoes mine. Her pussy
The next morning, while the happy throuple are sleeping in, Zak, Diego, Karamea, Liam, Sandra, and I make our ways to the dungeons. There are several members of the former Cancer, Lycaon, and Mene packs, along with the previous members of the M**i packs and rouges that had actively fought against us and we had imprisoned them, at least until the war is over. There were only 10 cells and about 30 wolves between the four packs and rogues to house. They are a little cramped for space, but it is what it is. There are four wolves in particular that we would really like to bring to our side. Two are extremely skilled warriors that we needed five warriors to bring down. One would be an excellent addition to our spy and scouting teams. The final one is a rouge female who has obviously been abused by the wolves that she was with. She’s refusing to leave them. We’re hoping that speaking to two she-wolves will help her come with us. Th
The guards lead the she-wolf into the second interrogation room with us. We have them remove her cuffs, but they insist on having at least one guard stay in the room with us. Not that they don’t think that we can take her down, but we are two of their lunas. They want to keep us safe.“Good morning, Naomi. How are you doing today?” I can see the dark circles under her eyes and I know from the guard’s reports that the two male wolves, William and Adam, that are in the cell with her aren’t giving her her full share of the rations. We’ve tried to separate her from them, but she refuses to eat and they cause a huge disturbance in the cells and attack the other wolves that were housed with them.Naomi was also sexually attacked by the males that we put her with.Well…they tried to attack her. It didn’t go well for them. One is still in the pack hospital, cuffed to his bed
About a minute after Clive is taken out of the room, while we’re still trying to figure out what’s going on with Brandon, we hear a howl from the interrogation room down the hall. “Something’s wrong!” My voice is tense and I run as fast as I can out the door. Within seconds, we are standing in front of the second interrogation room. “Get her out of here and get some help!” Karamea’s yell turns into a growl as she shifts, but I don’t see what’s going on in the room. All I see is that the guard is carrying a she-wolf out of the room. A she-wolf with long black hair and paling skin. Sandra. Her shirt is covered in blood and she’s struggling to breathe. “Give her to me,” I order the guard. I take her in my arms and lay her on the floor, ripping off my shirt and attempting to staunch the bleeding. Her stomach is ripped to shreds, organs nearly falling out of her body. Her eyes are begging me to do something.&
