(Tiernan’s P.O.V) Pain. That’s all I could think about was the pain that was radiating throughout my body, blinding me, making me want to vomit. I couldn’t hear anything going on around me, the ringing in my ears was all I could hear until I heard her scream. Siobhan. Her scream was feral, a mate losing her mate bond, losing her other half. No. I can’t die. I won’t die. I’m thrown into a blackness that was so dense that I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face if I even tried. My body felt like it was floating and falling all at the same time, and I couldn’t place where I was going if I was even going anywhere. The sensation of falling stops and the darkness begins to lighten, a scene of a field with wildflowers and honeysuckle is spread out before me. Siobhan. That’s all I could think about when I inhaled the scent of the field around me, my heart clenches in pain thinking about her being on her own now…without me. I roar out both in pain an
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) It had been three days since Arawn, Tiernan and I had come home through the portal, burned Scàthach’s heart and buried it, and Tiernan was still in a coma. The steady beeping of the heart monitor was grating on my nerves, he needed to wake the fuck up. “You can’t leave me.” I whisper, my hand squeezing his. I hadn’t moved from my chair that was next to his bed for more than a few minutes to use the bathroom or to stretch. I couldn’t leave him alone, because I knew that the moment I left him alone for longer than a few minutes he would wake up. I wanted to be there the moment he opened his eyes. Arawn was going to make sure James would be a warrior for the Pure and Innocent souls, having proven himself by killing Scàthach. I really hoped that the Celestials changed their rulings on this shit because James should have never been a Lost soul for protecting his sister. There’s a quiet knock on Tiernan’s door and the doctor pokes his head in befo
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I had been back home in the packhouse since last night, thank the Goddess above because the machines and cords were driving me absolutely insane. I also couldn’t cuddle my mate properly in that hospital bed, and Siobhan had been EXTREMELY clingy since I woke up. Not that I’m complaining, mind you, I love that she wants to be near me whenever she can. Though today, she seems a bit…off. “Siobhan, what’s going on?” I ask her. “Oh, nothing. My boss, Nerina, needs us to come back to Virginia to give our final report since the kids were reunited with their families.” “Wait, Nerina? That’s your supervisor's name?” I practically shout, making the connection with the conversation I had with the Moon Goddess. “Um, yes? Why?” “I talked with the Moon Goddess when I was in my coma and she mentioned pulling someone named Nerina into her world like she had with me.” Siobhan’s mouth drops to her chest in utter shock and disbelief. She pulls out her phon
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) “Orgasms.” That’s what she says and I couldn’t hold back my shock because I swore that Steele was going to be right, that she wouldn’t want me to touch her or be anywhere near her. My how the turns have tabled. That’s not the saying. What saying? Never mind. Stupid mutt, completely dazed into bliss being asked for orgasms as an apology to our mate. “Well, kitten, if you want those orgasms,” I lean in, my lips brushing against her ear, “then I suggest you start running.” I growl into her ear, causing her to shiver before she pulls away and runs out the door, her laughter trailing behind her. I needed to give her a head start or else I would catch her within seconds, and the whole point of the chase was to touch that primal part of ourselves. Time to go human. Getting up from the bed, I run out of the bedroom and follow her scent trail into the forest again. Her favorite hiding place and my favorite place to fu
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) After Tiernan fucked the brain cells out of me in the woods, he put me in the bath, mostly to get the dirt and blood off me, but also to help my sore muscles. I shouldn’t have tried climbing that tree, that was what fucked me up and allowed him to catch me. Tiernan starts massaging shampoo in my hair, drawing a moan from my lips. “That feels so good baby,” I say with a sigh. “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.” He chuckles. He instructs me to tilt my head back so he could rinse out the shampoo, and once he’s done rinsing my hair he goes in with the conditioner. “If being an Alpha and an architect doesn’t work out for you, you have a calling at being a shampoo boy.” I giggle. He growls before splashing water in my face, making me cough. “That’s rude!” I whine. “Well, don’t be a brat and it wouldn’t happen.” “I’m getting wrinkly, get me out, man-servant,” I say, clapping my hands twice at him. “Watch it, kitten, or I will be
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) We made our way down the stairs and into the dining hall where I had enjoyed a lovely breakfast with Tiernan’s father, Marshall. Now, it was different. Tiernan and I were going to be having dinner as a fully mated couple with our pack…as Alpha and Luna. So much fucking pressure. We make our way to the high table where the ranked families sit for the meals we share with the pack. Tiernan and I take the two middle seats, facing our pack. “Hallowed Manes Pack. I would like to thank you for joining us this evening; I have several important announcements to make this evening. First, I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting our warriors in the attack on Annwn to defeat Scàthach. We were able to safely return all children to their parents. The human children’s memories were altered to forget the fact that supernaturals exist.” There were cheers and howls of happiness throughout the dining hall from all the pack members assembled.
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I thought Siobhan was going to cut off my balls and make them into a coin purse, legitimately feared for the safety of my manhood. Thank the Goddess above that my mate loves me more than she hates her sister. We are going to need to do something about Lily. She attacked our Luna; we cannot let that stand. I know, but we need to talk to her and her family about what they want to have happen. Steele rolls his eyes because if it was up to him, she would already be dead. After fucking her fast and quick against the wall in the hallway, the pack cheered and howled in approval of their Alpha fucking his mate. She was embarrassed but I couldn’t help but puff out my chest, Steele was preening in my mind. We walked out into the dining room, all the male wolves in my pack were wanting to high-five me and cheering me on for giving my mate a good time. “Such. Fucking. Men.” Siobhan seethes, stomping towards the ranked table. What she didn
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) We arrived in Virginia and when we arrived at baggage claim, there was a driver waiting for all of us. “Did you order a car for us?” “No, I ordered a limo for everyone. No point ordering separate cars, that’s just a ridiculous expense.” Tiernan answered. He greets the man wearing a suit and holding a sign that says “Hathaway/Williams” and tells him that we will have half a dozen bags of luggage. Once we all piled into the limo, we were off, dropping everyone at their various houses saving Camilla and me for last since we lived in the same complex. I was excited to see Cat Cobain, getting pictures from my neighbor Doris just wasn’t the same. If Steele eats Cat Cobain, I’m chopping his balls off and turning them into a coin purse. He won’t touch Cat, and if he did, I’ll help with castration. I was anxious to see Tiernan and Steele’s reaction to Cat Cobain since basically all werewolves, except for myself and Camilla, had issue
