~Missy’s Point of View~
“What’s the day count now,” Renata asked as we bumped into each other around the kitchen.
“Eighteen days and one last full moon,” I said, wiping my forehead with the back of my arm.
At this point I should plaster it on a giant calendar because everyone constantly asks me. It's getting hard not to snap about it because each person doesn’t know the last has asked me already.
“That’s so rough, man I just don’t know how they do it,” she said, shaking her head.
I know she just wanted to make conversation but it was just too hard for me to think about anymore. After the last full moon I heard Nate and Ryan talking about the
Yay!
~Nate’s Point of View~ I know they say you should never think about how good things are going, because that’s usually when they shit the bed. But fuck if I can help it. We have a pack now of nearly a hundred people, and we’re thriving. Granted we’re still leaning on the Shadows a lot, but we’re getting there. Having two vampires has been unbelievable for us. Once word got out, the rogues backed off tremendously. While a lot of our people were skittish, and nervous … we made it a point for them both to meet all the people, and speak to them as much as possible. All the former Shadows were now helping us make money too, offering their services with training. It was a no brainer … with no overhead costs. It wasn’t like we were giving away any big secrets, defense is
~Missy’s Point of View~ Do I really get to have it all? The dream mates, the cushy life of a Luna? Likely have amazing sex for the rest of my life? Ohhh. With everything we’d already done I wasn’t sure how it would be better. How my body could handle it being any better. But from Renata’s bragging stories I knew it was, she had turned into an addict. My insides absolutely stirred with the idea. I knew I was ready, I mean we had literally done everything but actual traditional sex but… Goddess I always do this! I analyze to death! I wasn’t even listening to the vampire’s words, I couldn’t focus. I felt like everything was in slow motion. You deserve this, you deserve the happily ever after! “You may both kiss
~Ryan’s Point of View~ “Baby you look so damn beautiful. I’m so ready to rip this off you for good and lick you like an ice cream cone … again,” I whispered in her ear. She blushed, as usual and gripped me tighter. We were sharing our first dance as husband and wife. Of course she was standing on my feet since she thought she would otherwise embarrass herself. It was the perfect cover to have her closer. I knew everyone could tell she had a somewhat freshly fucked face, and I couldn’t give a damn. I needed to see her actually properly fucked face. But that would have to wait. Tonight I’d be making love to her, a first for us both. I’d certainly never call what I’d done with anyone else making love. Nothing close to it. But it was what my mate deserved and I was more th
~Nate’s Point of View~ I watched in awe as the vampires and other Shadows fought the onslaught of probably forty rogues. What the hell did these idiots think they would really accomplish here? They were being slaughtered and it wasn’t pretty. Godfrey was absolutely in his element, delirious with the thrill of a fight and the chance for fresh blood. I had to imagine as a councilor whose job it was to protect, killing rogue wolves was where he thrived. Even his mate was covered in blood, her gown in shreds yet her skin was glowing from all the feeding. I’ve heard there is nothing stronger than a young vampire, and their thirst is insatiable. Even councilor Ash was out here with his sons, ripping out throats. I had to wonder how often he joins fights. *One she-wolf hostag
~Renata’s Point of View~ I looked down at the ankle cuff on my leg, what a joke. At least the chain seemed long enough to reach the bathroom. I rubbed my hand against the comforter on my childhood bed and looked around my old room. There was very, very little about this place I missed. I tried to block out the bickering voices in front of me but the more I was forced to listen to them the more I thought I might officially snap. I’d heard more from my parents in the last couple of hours than I had in the last couple years. *Just breathe, our cubs are okay, that’s the most important thing,* Burgundy said, trying to reassure me. I rubbed my belly without a second thought, my new favorite thing. It immedia
~Diego’s Point of View~ “What the fuck do you mean she’s missing? Her bond feels like, like she’s just sleeping. Did you check our room? She’s been getting tired more easily,” I said, trying to convince myself that’s all it was, it had to be. I got a rotten feeling from her parents, and it was only the first time I’d met them. I didn’t like that she had to drop on them all at once that she was mated, and pregnant. They were clearly not happy but they also didn’t strike me as surprised. I made a mental note to ask Susie to spend a few minutes with them but I never got around to it. Maybe Ryan had told them? Someone else? Maybe they were going to just take her anyhow? Fuck this can’t be real! I stormed into our bedroom, but it was stupid. I didn’t sense her close anymore
~Ryan’s Point of View~ Everyone begged their Alphas to sleep, but that wasn’t going to fucking happen. However, Nate’s mom in all her motherly ways slipped sleeping pills in our drinks and took the choice away from us. She told us about twenty minutes after we’d both chugged the ice tea she so thoughtfully made. So I had thought. I went from talking maps and strategy with the triplets to dreaming about the time Nate and I took turns going down on Missy in damn near every room of the packhouse for a week straight. Before a lot of people began moving in, it was easy to have privacy. Nate and I made up some bullshit about testing for sound proofing since we didn’t want anyone to feel awkward if they shacked up in their room. It was a total lie because we knew fully well a
~Missy’s Point of View~ Ohh goddess, it’s really happening. Really … happening. My mates stared down at me, their mouths both practically watering. There was just enough light from the curtains being open for me to see their eager faces, their desire. I’d seen them both so many times in the midst of different sex acts, different levels of need. But nothing like this. I had many serious chats with Kendra and Renata about the whole birth control thing. It isn’t as effective for she-wolves as it is for humans, but it's better than nothing. I knew damn well the guys would never agree to condoms and I didn’t want them either. Kendra had one of those implants and since she was more of a human than a shifter it was likely to work as it should. She hadn’t made up her mind yet
