" Luna, where would you like these ? "I turned to see a male wolf standing holding two large bowls in his hands. "They're over on the food table, thank you. " He smiled at me and scurried off. Tomorrow is the kids' eighteenth birthdays. Tonight we planned a family meal , just us and them. We needed to come clean about a secret we had kept their whole lives. At midnight tonight , they will get their wolves and their magic back. They would also realise what pack members had speculated and teased them about their whole lives. That they were in fact mates.

We thought telling them that part would be the easy part. The kids were left with most of their bond. But for two of our lovely children , I fear the news will come to them like a nightmare. Leo and Lena had been forever inseparable , to the point I had to kick him out of her room most nights still. They wished to be mates , hoped for it and had even gone as far as saying if they weren't they would reject their

    Derek Pov"Just ten weeks left until the ceremony, and then everything will be yours, brother," Adrian said as we ran through the mountains. From the right spot, the entire pack's land unfolds before your eyes like a vast, living map. I smirked, glancing over the expansive land below.Our pack held one of the largest territories, a testament to its strength. This was what I had been trained for all my life, shaped to lead. My parents were unmatched, the strongest Alpha pair in our history. For years, my parents had ruled with an iron fist, their strength unchallenged and their leadership unquestioned. No one dared to defy them, and any threat that dared approach was swiftly eliminated. They were untouchable, legends in their own right.But now, everything is changing. My power had grown, and the pack couldn’t help but notice. Whispers spread like wildfire. When a new strength rises, the pack naturally gravitates toward it. It wasn’t about disrespecting my father or forgetting all h

    Seven months earlier Dinner had started off like any other—quiet conversation, the clinking of cutlery, and the warm glow of candlelight filling the room. But the atmosphere shifted when my father set his fork down, his tone turning authoritative.“Derek, you’ll lead the patrol tonight,” he said firmly.I nearly choked on my drink. “What? Tonight? I already made plans!”My father’s eyes darkened, a subtle warning in their depths. “This isn’t up for debate. You’re the future Alpha, and leading patrols is a vital responsibility. It’s about ensuring the safety of the pack, maintaining order, and—”“Yeah, yeah, keeping everyone safe,” I interrupted, frustration bubbling up. “But why tonight? You’ve never cared if I skipped before.”“You need to start taking responsibility, Derek,” he replied, his tone unyielding. “When the pack sees the Alpha’s son out there, ensuring our borders are secure, it reassures them. They need to know you’re ready to lead.”I glared at him, ready to argue more,

    Ava Hot tears welled up in my eyes as the door slammed shut, the echo of my mother’s scorn still ringing in my ears. "You’re a disgrace," she’d said, her words like knives carving into the fragile shell of my pride. "You’ll never run with the pack. You’ll always hide indoors, just like you always do.”It was the full moon tonight—a night that called every wolf to the run, to revel in their strength and unity. Every wolf but me.The tears I’d fought so hard to contain now spilled freely, streaking my cheeks as I collapsed onto the edge of my bed. My eyes, already swollen from the countless nights I’d cried, burned with fresh grief. Was it my fault that I was born prematurely , Was it my fault that my spine twisted as it did, or that I couldn’t shift when others did .I remembered my father’s stories about my mother when I was younger, how she was the pride of the pack. She had admirers, wolves who envied the one destined to be her mate. My father had beamed with pride when he discov

    My wolf had shredded my clothes to ribbons during my shift, leaving me no choice but to sprint home naked through the cool forest.The house was silent when I arrived; the pack was still out on their run. Relief washed over me as I slipped inside, my heart pounding from the night's events. I drew a warm bath, hoping to soothe both my aching body and my frayed nerves. As the water cascaded over me, my emotions spilled over too. Uncontrollable sobs wracked my chest as I replayed the events of the night—the rejection, the disgust in Derek's eyes. The dream of a mate who would cherish me, love me for who I was, shattered like glass underfoot.Tears blurred my vision as I whispered my frustrations to the Moon Goddess. “Why?” I asked, my voice trembling. “Why him? Why not someone else—someone who could see me, accept me for what I am?”Growing up, I’d always fantasized about having a mate who would look past my imperfections, someone who wouldn’t care that I was weak, that I didn’t fit th

    DEREK'S POV The weight of responsibility pressed against my chest as my father’s words echoed through the phone “Joshua and Andrea found themselves as mates during the pack run,” he announced. “As the soon-to-be Alpha, Derek, you’ll have to give them your blessings. I’ll be there as well.”A snort escaped my lips. The irony. Here I was, mated to the pack’s runt—a bond I refused to accept—and yet I was expected to celebrate another pair’s perfect union. Could my day get any worse?Before I could stew further in my misery, my door burst open. Selene walked in, her smugness radiating off her like a foul perfume. Dressed in barely anything, she sauntered toward me with that look in her eye, the one that always made my stomach turn.“How the hell do you keep getting into my house?” I muttered under my breath.“Come on, Derek,” she purred, closing the distance between us, her fingers trailing up my arm. “Why are you fighting this? We’d be perfect together.”I pushed her back, my patience

    AVA“Look at how Andrea’s parents spoke to us,” my mother’s voice cracked like fragile glass as she entered the house, her eyes red from unshed tears. I could hear the weariness in her tone.“When will this embarrassment end?” she sobbed. “Even after giving birth to three strong, healthy sons, all they remember is the mistake I gave birth to first.”The mistake.The word rang like a death knell in my ears. I clung to the walls of the hallway, my breath coming in shallow bursts. They were talking about me. Tears burned at the edges of my vision, blurring everything around me. My mother… my own mother.Blake had told me to stay in my room—to not hi listen. But how could I not? My curiosity had brought me here, and now the weight of her words crushed my chest.“Andrea’s parents rejected Joshua because of me,” I whispered to myself. My condition—my twisted spine, my premature birth—had stained my family’s reputation like a scar that would never fade.Would Blake’s or Paul’s mates hate the

    DEREKI couldn’t stop thinking about the night before.My wolf had been restless all day, his guilt echoing through me like a distant growl. It was his connection to her wolf that alerted me—her wolf had said Ava wanted to end it all. The thought sent chills down my spine, even now. I had no choice but to rush to the river where she was, guided by that unbearable, familiar pull. I found her already deep in the water, her body barely visible under the moonlight as it reflected on the restless waves.The moment I plunged in after her, the icy water stabbed at my skin like thousands of tiny needles. My arms worked desperately to pull her lifeless form from the depths. When I finally dragged her ashore, her pale face was void of life. For the first time in my life, I was terrified. My hands trembled as I gave her mouth-to-mouth, pressing her chest repeatedly, praying to the Moon Goddess to spare her. Then—just as hope began to dwindle—her body jerked, and she gasped for air.But when s

    The sparring grounds were quiet except for the sound of fists meeting flesh. Adrian ducked and swung, landing a clean hit to my side. For the fifth time that morning, I barely reacted, letting the blow push me back a step.“What’s gotten into you?” Adrian asked, lowering his fists. “I’ve never been able to land this many hits on you in one day.”I rolled my shoulders, trying to shake off the sluggishness. “Just tired, Adrian. That’s all.”Adrian frowned. “You’ve been tired for weeks. And it’s not just here. You’re distracted during meetings, you’ve been dodging everyone’s questions, and now you can’t even keep up in sparring. Come on, man, talk to me.”I sighed heavily, running a hand through my hair. “I’ve been thinking about bonded mate pairing,” I said flatly.Adrian blinked, taken aback. “Bonded mate pairing? Why? You’re the future Alpha—you have time to find your mate.”I shook my head, my gaze hardening. “Time isn’t a luxury I have, Adrian. The pack needs stability, and traditio

    It started with a low current , flowing through one hand around my body and out the other. It felt like a pulse , the power of it getting stronger with time it passed through me.The low breeze that had flowed around us became a strong wind wiping through our hair and clothes. But the leaves kept floating through it all. My eyes were focused on the babies. Making sure they were OK , at one sign they weren't, I would break this link with no issues. But they seemed fine. When the leaves dropped from floating and the babies' eyes turned back to their usual colors, I knew that their magic was gone for now. Locked away until they turned eighteen.The girls didn't stop. Their chant turned to a different one. The pulsing feeling kept going , but this time the babies started getting a little upset. I looked at Derek, who looked like he wanted to go to them and I knew how he was feeling hearing them cry was not sitting well with me. But as he went to move forward , Ava pulled him back and shoo

    ONE MONTH AFTER BIRTH . . . ." Ava, can you throw me the lotion please ? " I asked, turning towards her. She was dressing Keon and Kesha her son and my daughter at the other side of the room. While I was dressing Leo and Lena , my son and her daughter. It was pretty obvious from the get go who was mated to who. That first night of the babies being born , they wouldn't settle to sleep until Adrian threw out the idea of testing who was mated to who. We had laid them brother to sister and they hadn't been happy with that. Since then, they have only been happy being beside each other. Before Ava had the chance to throw me the lotion, it started floating through the air to me. Ava looked at the babies she had , and I looked at mine. Shaking my head and smiling at Leo.You could tell which baby was using magic. For some reason, we didn't know their eyes would turn white when they were using their gifts . " Leo stop being a show off ", I smiled at him . I went to lotion him first and he sta

    The council stayed for two days , they met everyone in the pack. They stayed and caught up with the Derek dad and got to know Derek and Ava. They even offered us to be on the council but we all respectfully declined. But we agreed to help them if we were needed and Ava and Derek agreed to visit the council to discuss how Ava would be helping them too. They wanted us to be close with the council and after getting to know the three of them , we were happy with that. They were actually really nice, it just goes to show one rotten egg could rot a whole dozen.We still kept our children's future to ourselves though. All seemed to be well and good for now , but seeing it take action would be another thing. When they finally left and we got into our quadruple bed , we were all drained. It seemed coming down from the high of so much adrenaline we had been running on caused everyone involved to crash." Well , that actually resolved itself easily " I laughed, still not believing it.

    ADRIAN The council had just been let through at the borders , after a meeting this morning and sharing what had happened with the moon goddess. We had all decided to keep what our babies were to be a secret. No one but our closest people could know. Muting their magic and the fact they were mates was the only way forward. That was clear now. Me and Ava didn't like it , we understood their magic being muted. But their mating , we can feel their bond already. It was beautiful , and to keep that from them. Well , it just felt wrong. But if it was what was needed to protect them , then that is what we would do.All of the new members were gathered , Derek wanted them on and off of our land as soon as possible. All the newcomers from the island , and the others that had joined too. Even the panthers were there. Even though Derek had done the decent thing and not made them a part of this pack , they kept their own pride. They had their leader and we were allies. He decided to have them her

    After a few more minutes and the doctor taking some pictures of them , he pulled the little thing off of Ava's belly and cleaned it. He handed Derek some paper to clean the gel he had put on her belly off too. He gently wiped it off and then helped her up. Pulling her into a tight hug. They then got pulled into more hugs by their parents. After that, Ava' mum and dad left , to give me privacy. Ava' mum was clutching one of the pictures on her chest. The difference in her was outstanding to what I had seen when I met her." Are you ready Vee ? "the doctor asked me. My heart started hammering in my chest. Adrian grabbed my hand and squeezed it for support. Looking at Ava, she looked a little nervous now too. This could possibly prove the theory right. " Yes I'm ready " the doctor looked a little confused by the mood in the room. He didn't know what this could mean. Going to the table , Adrian helped me slowly lay down and then he lifted my shirt up for me. " The gel will be a little col

    The guys had some pack stuff to sort out , word from the council had come and they were set to come visit in two days' time. So , preparations were underway. So , me and Ava decided to try and get some answers. We gathered all of the girls. And asked them all to meet us at the warlock women's camp. Cersei showed up alone , to which I was shocked. I had heard her mates were stuck to her like glue. But she did wear two very fresh looking mating marks on either side of her neck. " How are you fitting in with Cersei? " I asked her as we waited for Shirer and Dee to arrive. She glanced at me and smiled " Wonderful , everyone has been so kind. My mates are wonderful , but I am glad you called me here today for help. They are spectacular , but I think they feel the need to fuss over me right now because I am grieving the loss of my sisters , again" she laughed , but there was a tinge of sadness." They are being a little . . . " she let the words die off. Laughing, I finished them for her. "

    Mate and breed. But the more I thought about it just being me and you for a year maybe , I liked the idea. I have travelled, but mainly for pack business. I haven't traveled much besides that from the pack. But, I just want you to know. I am not disappointed that we are expecting now , not in the slightest. We have all the time in the world for me and you to travel. We have a family that will look after our pup if we want a break away together. We can even show the world to our pup. Having this baby won't stop us. Trust me Vee, I won't let it. " She smiled, which was like food for my soul. " I believe you " she whispered, looking back away from me.We sat just in our own thoughts for a while , silence wasn't uncomfortable for us. After a while , I realised we had been coupled up here for days , and as much as I love it. Maybe we need a little outing. " Shall we go for a walk ? And then maybe we can go for a swim in the lake " I asked her and she smiled up at me. " That sounds nice ",

    VEEThere were a lot of flushed faces as we all sat down for dinner, Adrian had been right , a few of the mated couples had disappeared for a little rekindling, The previous luna tried to look sternly at us all. But , you couldn't miss the amused little smile she was trying to hide. " Ava, how are you feeling honey ? she asked, trying to cover up her grin. Ava looked up from her food that she had been scratching down and smiled , her whole face lit up. " I feel really good actually. I have had this sudden burst of energy. Like the little terrors are boosting me up " she smiled fondly. Her mother in law smiled fondly. " Yep , I remember that. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But it runs out near the end. So, make the most of it now while it is happening " she laughed a little, getting lost in her memory.I can't believe I hadn't told him myself yet about our news, but I hadn't actually had the time. Or the right moment to do it. Looking up , I caught the glance of the previous luna
