Chapter 80Epilogue Serene, her birth and delivery was the polar opposite of her brothers. While Hav and K came into the world like thieves in the night, and trust they are nothing like their deliveries, however Serene came into the world like a hurricane and yet she is the calmest, gentlest soul ever.The boys ran up to meet their sister and something in them just relaxes when they are around her. Phoenix found that when they were getting out of hand all she had to do is bring their sister around and like a Valium in the flesh, they would just chill right on out.Not only did it work on her brothers but also when there was conflict or strife in the pack her presence just brought the aggression down to nothing. She was awesome. She took after her father in everything. She had sandy brown hair, just like him. Her eyes that steel grey and she had dimples just like him.He loved the fact that his daughter, and she was his daughter, looked just like him and the fact that she wanted his at

Chapter 79Phoenix was busy with the finishing touches for the party tonight celebrating Kyle and Eden’s return. They’d been back in the pack for three days and tonight was the big deal. Gael came in fussing at her to go sit down somewhere because she was big as a house and needed to rest. Now normally those would be fighting words, but again, this pregnancy had Phoenix so chill that she just dismissed him and kept on until she was satisfied that everything was just so.Gael noticed that the weather had picked up, meaning the wind had increased, and the moisture in the air, so thick, signifying that a heavy rain was coming; and he frowned thinking that it may put a damper on the festivities, but this was an indoor party so Phoenix was unconcerned that the party would be ruined. The most that would happen is that people would get a little wet going into the venue.After securing that the food and alcohol were ready, Phoenix took Gael’s advice and went to lay down to rest. Gael came in,

Chapter 78Kyle dropped his head and even knowing that this was going to happen, it still felt like a kick to the gut. He reached out and held the still warm hand of the last remaining family member he had, and silent tears ran down his face. Eden held him, in a full hug, sobbing into his chest.She knew Uncle Ric from when she’d been in their pack, going to school and feeling like Kyle was her mate. She remembered the Alpha couple, Kyle’s parents, as they always treated her with love, and kindness. No one ever mistreated her there, that’s why it hurt so bad that Kyle disregarded her feelings like they’d never meant anything to each other once upon a time.It’s amazing how real love works, when it’s genuine. She found out from the Academy that the Commander’s uncle was in a bad way, and it took a day to get her affairs in order, and she was going to Kyle to support him however he needed.She showed up at the hospital and held back to give Kyle as much time as he needed to focus on Unc

Chapter 77Phoenix sat on the porch in one of the rocking chairs reminiscing the birth of Hav and K. It was miraculous how they were born. It was the night of a full blood moon, a rarity in and of itself. She went into labor and even with all her Ulfheonar strength and Freya sharing the pain, it was excruciating, but when the time came for the boys to come into the world; it was uncanny how much peace and calm spread across the room.It was like her boys were secret agents and their presence couldn’t be detected by enemy forces. They slid out one by one in silence, like kids on the jungle gym sliding through the tube. No pushing on her part. They didn’t cry or fuss. Doc Simmons placed one on each breast and they fed like titans getting their fill.Speaking of peace and calm this little bundle of joy that she was carrying presently, rarely moved, never caused any discomfort or even made a peep. Carrying her was even soothing to Phoenix. Even Gael noticed how chill Phoenix was, even when

Chapter 76Four years later…...Phoenix looked into the crib in awe once again over her beautiful boys. She held her, once again, pregnant tummy as she ran the back of her hand over the dimpled, rosy cheeks of these dark curly headed coils, like hers and those gray eyes; cuties, just like their dad. They had to sleep in the same crib, as they couldn’t be away from each other for long.This was a rare moment when the boys were sleeping. Their names weren’t as scary as they were led to believe. They always wanted to be involved, always wanted to help but there was always something extreme going on with them. They were appropriately nicknamed Hav and K, and they earned every bit of the havoc and chaos they caused.Phoenix was making some oatmeal on the stove, and she knew anything hot, electrical or medicinal had to be closely monitored by a team of individuals. She had Gael holding K and LaLa held Hav. That was the only assurance that nothing would happen.Once she got their plates made

Chapter 75Kyle grabbed Eden’s shoulders and shook her to keep her attention. She turned out of his hold completely done and ready to move on.“Kyle, don’t make this any more than it is. I’m going to find my own way. You should get back to the academy; among those you can trust.” She said that last word sarcastically.He strode back up to her and held her in his arms, still trying to explain and keep her there talking. Eden started looking around like she’d lost something. He began to look too.“Eden, baby, what are you looking for, I’ll help you.”“I’m looking for a fuck to give, but I’m fresh out.”She turned out of his arms and walked away. He was left standing there feeling like the whole world had come to an end. She, on the other hand, felt the world had just opened up and she was ready to embrace her destiny and become the force that nature intended.She ran all the way back to where they were staying and grabbed all her essentials and important paperwork and set off toward the

Chapter 34Mr. Ulf lead me back outside and we sat on at a bench that overlooked the pool. This really was a beautiful place, but I had so many things in my head, I couldn’t seem to find a calming place to land.“I know your mind is in turmoil right now, but I promise you princess that this is only temporary.”I caught the ‘princess’ and it didn’t seem as wrong as it felt before.“This world is complex, but if you know how to navigate it, it isn’t so bad. You’ve been hit with so many new and unbelievable things, I’d have worried about you if you didn’t freak out. Do you have any questions for me that I can help you with?”“Questions? That’s the word of the century. It’s funny I have so many that I don’t know where to start. I was a normal, ordinary girl, finishing college, learning the ways of the world and then I find out that there is SO much more to this world that I could have ever imagined. It’s crazy.”“Yes it is. My dear I wish I’d had you sooner to be able to help you through

Chapter 33Chase POVThe drive home was painful. I was in quiet reflection, while Cathy chirped like a fucking parrot, not even taking a breath. I couldn’t figure out how I got here, I loved Gen. She was everything I wanted in a woman, beautiful, brilliant, and sexy. Man, that last one was definitely true.She turned me on in ways no one has ever done. Sex with her was explosive and addictive so once again, how the fuck was I in this predicament?“Chase are you listening to me?”“Not really.” She gasped like I’d slapped her.“I don’t know why I put up with your mistreatment of me.”“So why not fix that?” I said with no emotion, and I could tell she felt that.“Chase what’s wrong? Please talk to me, after all I’m your friend.”‘Ok, you want to do this? Let’s do this.’ I thought to myself as I planned to let it go.“Cathy, I’m still in love with Gen.”“I know.”I was mildly surprised at the even tone of her voice and that there was no hesitation.“And you’re okay with that?”“No, but I’

Chapter 32Talon and I woke up to the sun beaming in our faces. This time I felt different. I couldn’t explain it. I chalked it up to the Lycan change and the marathon sex, but something was still off. I started to try to get up and Talon held me down on him. I could only shake my head at this possessive Alpha always trying to have his way.I really looked at Talon’s sleeping face. He was gorgeous, but he always was; but now there was a regal look about him; like he matured overnight. It was sexy as hell. He stirred and opened his eyes. My God, it electrified me and scared me shitless at the same time.I’ve never felt this way about any other guy. Hell, I’ve been living my life having fun all this time and now I’m attached to someone; and not just anyone, a powerful Lycan who changed my life, helped me to discover who and what I am; and now I am one hundred percent in love with this man/wolf/Lycan and I want it all.All of a sudden I was famished. I smiled at him and told him I wanted

Chapter 31Over the course of six weeks, six whole weeks, I ran down, looked up and chased this Zenobia Lee and every time I saw her face or what she was wearing or how she was moving, it left an ache in my heart and also my loins.I’ve never wanted any woman as much as I wanted her. Finally on a Thursday at 6:13 p.m. was I able to get the answer I wanted, “Yes, Mr. Ulf, I’ll have coffee with you.” She said it with a huff, like I’d been getting on her last nerve, and she was doing this to shut me up. It worked.After our initial coffee date, she really opened up and began to show me a little of who she was. I was impressed by her intelligence; she had beauty and brains. I also found out that she was a martial arts expert.I talked her into sparring with me once, and of course, I had to dial my strength back a thousand fold, but she was fast and lethal. It took another two months before she’d let me touch her. When I finally kissed her goodnight I almost came in my pants.The night we

Chapter 30Ulf’s POV I watched as Z almost dropped her teacup when the howls rang out from behind the house.“Oh my God, what the hell is that?”“It’s Genevieve, finally meeting her Lycan and her mate sealing the deal.”“Do I want to know what that means?”“I think you already do.”She sighed and shook her head while wiping her lap from the tea that spilled. I watched her get up and check her outfit, and I just watched this woman who’d held my heart for years.I remember the moment I saw her for the first time, I had just come from a high council meeting and was pissed off at what they had the audacity to tell me. Me, an Original, had to choose a mate to procreate our species. The nerve. I’d been careful for almost a century to keep my bloodline pure, and a bunch of old wolves, who hadn’t seen what I’d seen, or lived what I lived were going to tell me what to do? Yeah, good luck with that.Before I started fuming again, I went to the nearest café to get something hot and distracting;

Chapter 29Talon and I were standing outside behind Mr. Ulf’s mansion in a beautiful garden. I was still not feeling my best, but being out in the cool air wasn’t exactly a bad thing.“Baby, I’d rather get back in bed with you and just sleep.” I whined, hoping Talon would fold.“No babe, we’re going to get through this and it starts with you warming up your muscles before we can get your Lycan to come forth.”“Maybe I don’t want her to come forth.” I didn’t really mean that, but I was tired, bitchy and done with this Lycan shit.“Come on Gen.” I groaned, but did what he said, and I have to admit I started feeling better as time went on. After about 20 minutes, I was ready for the next phase.“Okay, what’s next?”“Well, making your Lycan come out usually takes some kind of emotion. You remember the battle during the Red Moon?”“Yeah.”“Well, you’re going to have to tap into some emotion to spark the change.”How the hell do I do that? I turned around to face the beautiful lake, as I tr
