Laura POV
I leave Luther and walk back to our small castle in the middle of the fairy tribe lands. The small tinks follow me and tease me as I walk back to tell my parents about the invites."Did you kiss him, Laura?" one of the tinks jokes with me."Go away!" I scream at the annoying little creature.I walk into the castle, looking for my parents. My mother is out on the back patio; I can see her through the large french doors. I rush out to speak with her, not knowing my father is also out there with her. I wanted to get her alone for this discussion, but that is not going to be the case."Mother, I need to talk to you; it is very important," I say to her."What is it, my dear daughter," my father answers me. I really did not want to do this with him first."We have an invitation to a celebration for the new Alpha. We are all invited to attend tonight's gathering," I spit it all out in one breath."Why would we go to that?" my father asks.I walk over to father. "Because father, we should be friends with the wolves; you never know when we might need their help; besides, it will be fun," I say joyfully."Fun, like I have time for fun," my father says."Honey, who invited us?" my mother asks."The luna of the pack, she saw me at the forest edge and invited me. I really want to go," I say to my mother.My mother smiles and waves me away. She will get my father to say yes. He cannot say no to her. That is why I will tell her about Luther first. There has to be a way for Luther and me to be together without tearing my family apart.She is not going to like that I am in love with a wolf. I cannot help it. Luther makes me feel things I never knew were even possible. The way he kisses me touches me and makes my body ache for him. I have a feeling that if I do not commit to him sooner, I will lose him forever. I cannot stand the thought of him with another. I want to be his wife, his luna, and the mother of his children.No matter what happens tonight, I am going to say yes to him and be his wife. I will give myself to him completely tonight in every way I can. After the celebration, I will give him my body.I realize my life is about to change. Life here with the fairies is so different than living with a wolf pack. I know things will be difficult, but this is what I want. I love him no matter the obstacle.I go upstairs to look for something to wear tonight. If my father says no, I am still going to be with Luther tonight. I go into my room and start going through my closet. I finally find a long purple dress. It will be beautiful with my wings on display.I lay out the long dress and search for the perfect purple shoes to wear with it. I want to adorn my hair with purple flowers and maybe a few blue and pink ones. I want to be beautiful for Luther tonight. Not only for when we announce our marriage but for the moment, I have him alone and give him my body for the first time tonight.As I go into the bathroom to shower and wash my hair and wings, I hear a knock on my bedroom door. My mother comes into the room to check on me."Laura, we need to talk," my mother says."Yes, my queen," I reply."I know about you and the wolf. It is not something I wanted for you, but I can live with it. However, it will not go over well with your father. I have convinced him to go to the celebration tonight. I know you are planning to marry this wolf, and I will try my best to contain your father, but give him time after you tell him. Everything will work out, but you do know that once you surrender your crown, then it is over. Keep that in mind," my mother says."How did you know, my queen?" I ask her."Laura, my little princess, there are a lot of little tinks with enormous mouths," my mother says, laughing."Yes, those little meddling bit.. I mean those little things," I say."Watch it; just because you are tangled up with a wolf does not mean you should act or talk like one," my mother says."Sorry, mother, I should have known they would tell on me," I say to her."Yeah, well, they did, at least to me, not your father. Even the tinks are scared of him for you," my mother says to me.My mother looks over the dress and shoes I have picked out. "I have a beautiful veil you can wear with this; I will bring it to you and help you put it on," my mother says."Thank you," I say to her.I hug her and kiss her cheek. "Make sure this is what you want before you make this leap. There is no turning back once you join the wolf pack, my dear daughter," my mother says."I know. I love him," I say to her."Do you? Do you know anything about him other than rolling in the grass and laughing? There is so much more to a relationship and love. How will you handle all of that? There is a home and children to care for; there is more to marriage than laughing and picking flowers," my mother says to me."I know that, my queen. I love him, and I want to be with him. I have thought about everything. I do not want to leave my tribe, but I know it is the best thing for Luther and me," I say to her."Very well, I will be back to help you get dressed," my mother says.She leaves me to shower and prepare for the night. I am excited and nervous, but I know this is the right thing for Luther and me. I know loving a wolf will come with challenges, but I am prepared for all of it.Luther's POVFive months laterLuna Laura has worked hard restoring the tribe lands with the help of George and the tinks. Sammie and Shelby helped her more than anyone. That is why it did not surprise anyone when Laura surrendered her crown to Sammie. Laura felt Sammie would be the perfect queen. Sammie took over the responsibility of George and helping him become a fairy and a wolf. Only a few fairies remained in the wolf territory, but today they have all returned. Bido and Sammie both have been with Luna Laura all day. Her labor has been long and strenuous on her. I have feed her ice and rubbed her back. She has cried and screamed, but I, not Sammie, have left her side over the last twenty-four hours. "How is she doing?" I ask Bido as he examines her. "She is getting closer," Bido says to me. Laura lies on her side in so much pain. There is nothing I can do for her but be here for her. "You said that hours ago," I say to Bido. "This is a hybrid birth, a
Luther POVDrake drives the four of us back to the cabins. I am dying to know what Laura's idea is about George and why she needs to talk to me. She seems preoccupied and worried. I pull her close to me and hold her as we ride. She occasionally looks up to me and smiles. She is so beautiful. Drake and Emily look happy. I think those two will definitely make it as a couple. My father would have loved her. Mother probably would have found something wrong with her. I wonder where shit went wrong with mother and why she couldn't have just left to be with George. Our father practically raised us anyway. She could have left and went to be with her fairy. If she loved him so much and loathed us, she should have just gone. I will never be that kind of father. I will never interfere with any member of my pack's love life. Laura leans up and looks at me. "Luther, I do not feel so...., " she starts to say and then passes out in my arms. "Laura, Laura, Laura," I say her n
Laura POVThere is someone at my door. They are trying to open it. I hold my fairy light and wait. "Luther!" I scream, hoping it is him.I hear fighting begin again. "Luther," I scream out again. I hear a crash, and then something hits my door. "LUTHER!" I cry out.The door opens, and it is not Luther. It is Selene. There is fighting behind her, and I hear Luther. Selene is coming toward me. "Please do not hurt me!" I scream at her."I am going to kill you, bitch!" Selene screams at me as she runs toward me."Please no! I am pregnant!" I scream. Selene stops for a moment. She smiles at me with a wicked smile.Luther and Geroge are fighting just outside the door of my room. I am screaming for my life. I push a fairy light from my palm and strike her in the face. "Get away from me!" I scream.George sees Selene trying to hurt me. He runs to help me. He pushes Selene away from me. "You will not hurt her," George says. "She was nice to me; leave her al
Laura POVI am in a dark room in one of the fairy cottages. Selene has me and her son George. They killed Luther's father right in front of me. It was horrific to watch. I keep seeing the flashes of them murdering him over and over in my mind. She will kill me if Luther does not get to me soon. I hear George coming toward the door, and he stomps loudly as he walks. He pushes the door open. "Laura, would you like something to eat or drink?" he asks politely. "No, thank you," I answer him. I do not want to anger him. He smiles at me. It is an odd, peculiar smile. Selene peeks into the door from behind George. She is not as kind. "You have to eat bitch. I cannot have the queen dying on me, not before you can give me what I want," she says. I try to stand, but the shackles holding my legs are heavy. "What is it you want from me, Selene?" I ask her. Selene smiles and moves past George. Her face changes before me. She looks like a demonically possessed p
Luther POV"Laura!" I scream as I look around the room frantically. The window is open, and there is blood on the window. Emily runs into the room. She goes straight to the window she touches the blood on the window."This is Laura's blood; this is not good for her," Emily says.I hit the wall in anger and growl loudly. Ando and my brothers finally make it into the room with Emily and me."Where is she?" Silas asks.I look at him for asking such a stupid question."They took her, you idiot!" I SCREAM AT HIM!I run out of the room, with Ando on my heels."We will get her back," Ando says as he follows me out of the house. The fairies are outside, mourning the loss of the council members. Those lying pieces of shit probably got what they deserved in reality.The fairies run up to me as I come out. "We need to see our Queen," the fairies start demanding. I look over at Silas."You handle this while we go get her," I
Luther POVI hold my precious Laura. I do not want to let her go. What if the tribe asked her to choose between me and her crown? The thought of it breaks me. I know I was reluctant to answer her when she asked me if I would choose her over the pack, but the truth is I would always pick her. I love my fairy queen. I cannot live without her. I know this more now than ever.Laura pulls back from me. "What is it, Luther?" Laura asks me."I was thinking that you are everything to me," I answer her. She smiles at me."You are everything to me, too, Alpha," she says.Ando knocks on the door. "Your brothers are here, and the council is on the move," Ando says."Make sure the council is followed and send my brothers in here," I say to Ando."Yes, Alpha," Ando says.I kiss Laura softly on the lip just as the door swings open with my two idiot brothers coming into the house."Damn, get a room," Silas growls." Where the hell have you two been?
