I know I will have great support from Maddie and Liam, and my parents, but I am worried about Lilliana. We accepted each other, and I have marked her as mine, but will she stay by my side? Just because we are mated and marked, she put her witch mark on me - a tattooish picture on my neck, just without the bite mark, it does not mean she has to stay with me. Granted the blow from a rejection now would probably kill me, but I would not blame her one bit. She was not very happy when her Luna aura suddenly sprung to life when I was announced by the Elder to be the Alpha. We had a long talk in our room at Maddies pack, and we agreed to give it a try, but I am so afraid she will eventually leave me. “Babe? What are you thinking about? Your face looks like someone killed your favorite kitten or something.” Lillie asks me from the passenger seat of the car Liam borrowed me. I sigh deep
Maddison P.O.V.I wake because Liam is not by my side. I open one eye and look for him, but he is nowhere to be seen. I sit up, looking around our room, but it is dark and empty except for me. I don’t feel like he is in danger through the bond, or in distress either. Ember is calm as well. ‘Babe?’ I ask in a mindlink, but he doesn’t answer. I get out of bed and put on a robe. Then I exit our bedroom and go on the hunt for my missing mate. He must be somewhere in the packhouse or grounds one should think. After looking in the office, kitchen, dining room, living room and knocking on his parents quarters, I almost gave up. But then something springs to mind, and I walk outside. The sun has not yet risen from the horizon, making the sky a light pearly gray. I walk over the courtyard, the gravel crunching under my slippers. His scent is getting stronger in the still morning air, and I wonder what made him come out here? I find Liam sitting with Jumper, Flower and Piper in the clearing
Liam P.O.V. Cleaning the battlefield was what took the longest - almost a week before we had burned the enemies and cleaned the ground from blood, body parts etc. Maddie was in bed for the week. She had used a lot of her energy, magical, emotional and physical, in her fight with Eileen, her reunion with her parents and the death of Azlela. She was also furious that Jessica managed to escape, but that was a problem for another day. Her parents asked to stay with her in our pack for the time being, and I granted it after I asked Maddie what she wanted. She wanted time with them to understand why they had done as they did, and after talking to them for days on end, she forgave them their mistakes. They on the other hand had not forgiven each other or themselves for what they did to their daughter, and I can’t say I blame them. I would not forgive myself either if I had treated my own daughter that way - not that I ever would do that! When they learned Maddie is pregnant they were both
Maddison P.O.V.Liam pushes me behind him as Eileen and Rick lungs towards us. He shifts into Ash, defending me as well as he can, but Rick also shifts into his wolf and they are fighting each other with deadly precision. Eileen has her eyes set on me, and they are shooting lightning, as she is screaming profanities. “You get paid for what you did in the mall and when I was here with my mother you bitch!” She says. I cannot shift into Ember without putting my pup in danger, but no one has said anything about using magic. I send a quick mindlink to our doctor, who assures me I can still fight with magic, but I cannot shift or engage in combat otherwise. “I like to see you try.” I taunt her. I need her focused on me, so she won’t try and attack Liam or someone else close to me. “Don’t worry, your little wolf man will get the same treatment as you as soon as I am finished with you.” Eileen threatens, and I growl at her. No one threatens my family and gets aways with it. I send her fly
Liam P.O.V. We made the calls, and Maddie was right, once again. Our allies were more than willing to come to our aid. They made haste, and most of them were here before evening. We made sure to accommodate them as best as we could. The kitchen was alerted to the many guests we would have, and they made sure to have enough food and drinks prepared and stocked so we could load up before the evening's battle. Azlela’s vision gave us time to prepare, and I was grateful to her.Maddie immediately installed the wiccan friends in some of the townhomes which had safe rooms attached to them, so their children could hide away. One or two adults promised to stay with them, and that mostly consisted of a few women who were visibly caring a new life in their stomach. I instructed my border guards about the flow of people who would be arriving, and which pack they were from. Mother Bianca even reached out to some of her wiccan friends and explained the situation. Most of them were really surpris
Maddison P.O.V. “But she is old, Liam. She’ll die or get seriously injured. I cannot let that happen. I am her Luna! If I say no, then that’s what she has to respect.” We have been discussing this since last night. Liam seems hellbend on letting Azlela come with him to fight at Iron Mountain, but I can’t let her go and get herself killed. “Baby, please stop stressing.” Liam says to me, putting his hand on my stomach. I sigh. The tears are close to falling again as I can’t seem to shut off the waterworks this morning.“But she can get killed.” I whimper, pouting and looking at him with wide eyes. Liam pecks my pouty lips, but he doesn’t budge. “She is a grown woman, and she’ll give us the upper hand, baby. We need her. Besides; she is highly aware of the possibility of her not surviving this battle. She has made her mind and we need to respect that as her leaders.” We reach the end of the stairs, but I am still not ready to let this matter go, however Liam has other plans. He turns
Liam P.O.V.I was going to bring Maddie to my office, but I was so fucking turned on by her, that I decided against it and brought her to our room instead. I fucked her until she passed out from exhaustion and pleasure. I cuddled with her for a while, before I got up, got dressed and went to my office. Then I got on the phone to call our allies. I know we need all the help we can get, but I didn’t call them before speaking to Elder Mills. We need the Elders to be on our side in this. They agree it’s getting out of hand with Iron Mountain, and they have investigated the pack themselves. Although this intrigued me a lot, I did not further investigate the reason as to why they were keeping a close eye on Rick. I didn’t care for one thing, and it just made it easier for me to plead our case for another, so that was that. Then I called the packs I have always been on good terms with, and some of this I know hates either Iron Mountain as a whole or Rick and Jessica as individuals. Knock
Maddie P.O.V.The insult lies in the air, making the tension so thick you can cut it with a knife. Mother Bianca’s deep brown eyes seem contemplative, while she thinks about what I just said. She keeps her composure, and I admire her while the room is quiet enough for me to really take this woman in. She is very regal, her dusted pink outfit accenting her brown colored skin, her braided black hair held back with a see through head scarf. I keep myself ready for a retribution from Eileen, as I feel she is as unstable as she is stupid. Her brown eyes, so like her mothers, although her skin tone is slightly lighter than her mother’s, are trained on me. I don’t think she really believed what she just heard, and it is obvious she never thought I would taddle on her. I turn my attention to Lilliana for a second. We are supposed to believe she is sisters with Eileen? Sure she has deep brown eyes, which threw Liam for a loop because he could have sworn they were orange, which we found out wa
Liam P.O.V. “Alright, we will see you in an hour then.” I hang up the phone as Maddie walks in with a small knock. “Babe, are you okay?” She asks. I open my arms for her and she walks straight to me and sits in my lap. “Not really. Do you mind mindlinking Lilliana and Balder?” I ask back, rubbing my temples. Her eyes cloud over, and then she leans back and kisses my cheek. “You talked to the Coven Mother I gather?” He nods. “Yeah, and I want all of you in here before I say anything.” She nods, and leans into me not saying anything until Balder and Lilliana walk in hand in hand. “Hey guys, please sit down.” I tell them, gesturing for the chairs. “What’s up, Alpha?” Balder asks, he can see the worry on my face and knows this is not entirely good news. “I just talked to the Coven Mother of the Forest Coven, and she wasn’t pleased that we have taken in Lilliana. She was actually really pissed. Especially when Eileen told her about Maddie having powers and throwing their asses out
