“Luna, Tyree has the truck ready for you. Mrs. Khan and Mr. Rawls excused the twins and Andy from class. Marco is taking them downstairs and Diane is helping to get them all in their booster seats.” Marybeth comes into my office with a bright smile. “Clash and Ghost are going to run alongside the truck so the kids can sit in the back and you can sit in the front. The Alpha already shifted. Saint’s probably halfway up the mountain by now.”“Okay. Thank you for helping organize everything, Marybeth.” I give her a tired smile and rest my hand on my swollen belly. “You hear that, baby girl? We get to see Papa Saint today.”A hard kick makes me grimace and groan. Tavi has been so active in the past couple of weeks. Her favorite pastime is jumping on my bladder. Only two more weeks to go and she’ll finally be here. I can’t wait to meet her.At the end of September, I had to stop scrimmaging and switched to cardio and light weights to stay in shape. In October, they reduced me to light cardi

The horses skid to a halt at her command, making a plume of dust billow in the air. Selene steps off the chariot and faces Aphrodite. She raises her staff over her head and slams it to the ground. It creates a sonic boom, instantly turning day to night. The crescent moon on top of the staff catches fire, turning it into a torch with a hot white flame.The shadows created by the light obscure Aphrodite’s features, turning her into a grotesque caricature of her distinctive, beautiful self. Her smug smile fades and turns into a curled lip at the sight of my mother.“Selene, my dear, you have no business here.” She hisses.“On the contrary, Aphrodite, these are my children.” Selene stands tall. Powerful energy emanates from her. It is so thick you can almost touch it. “YOU are the one who has no business here.”Warriors and guards in wolf form silently stalk toward the women, but the power of the Moon Goddess’s energy forces them to bow to the Mother of Werewolves. Saint and the Menaes’ w

I hear myself scream. My fingers and lips turn numb. My vision turns dark on the edges. I lean back and grip my stomach tighter. I don’t know how much longer I can bear the pain.“Mama!” A little voice squeaks. It doesn’t sound like Maya or Dre.I squeeze my eyes shut and try to focus. “Octavia?”“Kas, focus!” Lex whimpers. “Tavi needs you to stay awake.”When I open my eyes, I’m on my hands and knees. Saint is in front of me. He lies down and licks my face. I grip his fur and bury my face in his chest. “Our baby! Saint, Tavi needs help!”Saint whimpers and barks. Other wolf noses press against me. When I look up, I see Lena and Jennie’s wolves, Rhapsody and Serenity, trying to soothe me.My mother doesn’t seem to notice. Her shoulders drop and looks helplessly at the spot where Aphrodite was standing. Her fingers graze the ground, picking up a dove feather. She stands up, inspecting the white remnant, and taps her staff to the ground, bringing daylight back to its correct status.Whe

Bronx’s POV“You did amazing, Kas. I’m so proud of you.” I nestle beside her in the hospital bed and watch her with our baby. I don’t even have words to describe how grateful I am that the Moon Goddess told us I could be with Kas for Tavi’s birth. She was in labor for about four hours before Tavi was born. The doctors said even though she was two weeks early, Tavi is already ten pounds, which is pretty close to normal for a werewolf pup.Kas is feeding Tavi even though they both look exhausted. It’s one of the few things I can’t help with this time around. They are both healthy, so Kas will feed Tavi with her own milk. After the nurses made sure Tavi was eating like she’s supposed to, they left the room to give us a few minutes alone with her.I lightly stroke my daughter’s dark, wispy hair. It feels like silk. I can’t get over her gigantic eyes. One is green, and the other is muddy gray. The doctors say it could change and become blue or maybe even violet as she gets older. The one t

“Alpha?” Carly peeks into my office.“Yeah, Carly. Come in.” I wave to her. “I’m more… just… hiding out.”“I understand. Um, still no word on Marco or Andy.” She comes in and sits in the guest chair across from my desk. “The Luna’s flight is in the air. She and Tyree be landing in nine hours. Lady Camille says they secured Tavi in the coven’s manor home and the Menae are all ready to leave as soon as they get the word. Oh, and Sondi asked me to tell you again, thank you for letting her stay in the packhouse while Tyree has been away.”“Okay, well, that’s very sweet of her. Uh, from my end, Delilah confirmed she and Pan are ready to go, too. Psyche, Arrow, Hedone, and the Erotes have their marching orders too. Heph just needs to make sure Lex fits into the harness he made for her.” I rub my hands over my face. “Milo and Reggie are following protocol. So, I have no fucking clue if they are ready to go or not.”“May I speak candidly, Alpha?” Carly looks at me sympathetically. “Of course

Kas’s POV“I’ll try to keep it to an hour, Diane.” I take a last look at myself in the mirror.“Take as much time as you want, Kas.” Diane turns me toward the door. “You haven’t seen your mate in over a month.”“Thank you, Diane.” I give her a hug, then make my way downstairs.The staff opens the door to the dining room for me. Inside, they transformed the area where ranked members usually sit into a makeshift living room complete with plush rugs, dimmed lighting, and a television on a table playing my favorite cooking show with the volume off.Bronx is sitting on a sofa with several coffee tables set lengthwise in front of it to provide distance from another empty sofa across from him. As promised, there is a small pizza piled high with pepperoni and green peppers on a plate in front of the empty sofa.“Hi, Baby.” Bronx grins, but stays seated. “Mrs. Miller brought you a milkshake, but we can get something else.”“N-no. It’s fine.” I giggle as I take my seat. He never fails to find w

“Have you spoken to Lady Camille?” I get into Pan’s car after I close the front gates behind him. “Tavi?” “They are experiencing a disruption on the borders of their realm. The sisters are doing everything in their power to hold the threat at bay.” He nods, focusing on the long driveway. “Okay.” I tap my foot eager to get to the packhouse. “Okay?” He slows the car to a stop and looks at me. “Iokaste, are you alright? I mean, with all factors considered. I just told you the secure location your child is being held is under attack.” I look him in the eyes. “I’ve never been better. Drive.” We ride to the packhouse in uncomfortable silence. I watch out the window at the village that should have pack members going about their everyday business. There’s no one from landscaping clearing snow from the sidewalks. The pack guards are not on their daily ten-mile run. No wolves are galloping on the treelines, getting exercise in the deep snow. This place should be filled with people who depe

The dark magic inside me flares, pulling and clawing at the edges of my spirit. Now that I’m protected by the power of the throne room, I give it the space it’s yearning for until it is one with my spirit and Lex’s. Heat surges through my body, and for the first time, I’m aware of the crown floating above my head with colored spires glowing brightly. “Do you like our force field?” I pull the shield from my back. The action causes thin quills to grow from the harness and weave themselves around my body until they form a short protective dress made from the lightweight metal feathers of Hedone’s Stymphalian birds. Spaulders made of the Colchian dragon spread over my shoulders. As the body armor tightens to fit me, I roll my shoulders, grab the sword out of the compass rose, and take a defensive stance. A high pitched, maniacal laughter fills the echoing room as if it’s coming from a thousand mouths. Aphrodite steps back and looks around in horror. She pulls her whip from its harness
