The drive led us along winding coastal roads, where towering cliffs plunged into the restless waves below. The scent of salt and damp earth drifted in through the cracked windows, mingling with the crisp ocean breeze. The sun was beginning its descent, casting long golden rays over the rolling waves that shimmered like liquid fire.When we finally arrived, I recognized the place instantly. I had been to this town once before when we collected supplies from a nearby lumberyard, but this time, we had come to a far more secluded spot. Seth had driven us to a hidden cove, where the rocky shore stretched out into the sea like an open embrace.Beyond the surf, a large vessel rocked gently with the tide, it's dark hull cutting a stark silhouette against the horizon. Closer to the shore, two sleek speedboats bobbed up and down, their hulls gleaming as they caught the last golden light of the setting sun.We left the vehicles behind in what looked like an abandoned barn, its wooden walls weath

AVA The roar of the speedboats echoed across the vast ocean as we skimmed across the waves toward the larger vessel ahead. The sea spray cooled my skin, but it did nothing to settle the unease in my chest. Celeste’s gaze remained fixed on Derek, her interest in him blatantly obvious.Her own mate wasn’t pleased. A low, warning growl rumbled from his chest, a clear show of disapproval, but she seemed to enjoy provoking him. It was as if his possessiveness only amused her. Derek, however, paid her no attention. His focus was locked on the horizon, where the deep blue waters stretched endlessly beneath the afternoon sky. Seth, handling our boat with practiced ease, said nothing, while Vee piloted the second speedboat nearby.Why would the council align themselves with someone like Celeste? She exuded arrogance, a self-assuredness that felt more like entitlement. If I were to be blunt, she was insufferable.The journey between boats barely lasted five minutes before we reached the toweri

"Pleasure to meet you too."The introductions were a whirlwind, hands clasping mine, warm embraces pulling me close. Yet, something felt different.One by one, we were passed from one set of arms to another, each person pressing their warmth against us in silent greeting. People held onto me longer than the others, their grips lingering as if searching for something unseen. I wasn’t sure why until she approached me.A petite woman stepped forward. Her raven-black hair cascaded down her back, the soft waves shimmering under the golden sunlight that streamed through the trees. Emerald-green eyes—vivid against her sun-kissed olive skin—locked onto mine with an intensity that made my breath hitch. They shimmered—alive, electric—set against the rich olive of her skin.Her smile was soft yet knowing, as if she already understood parts of me that I had yet to unravel. A gentle smile curved her lips. "I can feel her inside you." Her voice was soft yet brimming with emotion. "You have no idea w

DEREK"I can’t shake the feeling that she thinks I don’t want her—but I do. For years, I longed for my mate, praying endlessly and shedding tears each time another year passed without my first shift. Being a late bloomer terrified me. There was a time I truly believed I wouldn’t be granted a mate at all. So when it finally happened, I was beyond thrilled. But then, disappointment followed just as quickly. I had expected her to be strong, powerful… but instead, she was weak.I suppose that wasn’t the best way to start our bond—her choosing me, only for me to feel let down by what I had become. And then, learning everything that came with it? It was overwhelming. Maybe that’s why I’ve been distant toward her. But she wants me to understand her, to ask about her past, to listen to her stories.“And yet, Derek… something doesn’t sit right. Seth claimed she became obsessed with power and left on her own, but I don’t feel that from her. She told me she used to come here often to meditate an

CHAPTER 35AVA"She brought you both to her secret place?" Seth asked, his gaze shifting between us."Yeah," I replied simply, sensing that she wouldn’t want the location revealed to everyone. His expression faltered slightly."She never took me there," he admitted, disappointment creeping into his voice. "She valued her solitude when she went to that spot." His eyes drifted toward Derek, who was seated across the fire. I had chosen to sit next to Seth, eager to get to the heart of things.My earlier conversation with her had only fueled my curiosity. What was she planning? Why did she feel as though she had changed so much?"Maybe she was just caught up in the excitement of being back," I suggested, trying to console him. "She probably wasn’t thinking about it too much.”"Maybe she was just caught up in the excitement of being back," I suggested, trying to console him. "She probably wasn’t thinking about it too much.""Tell me more about your history with her. How did you two meet?"

DEREK Sleep refused to come to me. This place was undeniably stunning, almost mesmerizing, but something felt... off. A darkness lurked beneath all the beauty, like a carefully placed disguise. It unsettled me. Maybe it was the sheer distance from my pack that made me uneasy. I couldn’t sense them, couldn’t reach into their thoughts if I wanted to. The only familiar presence I could pick up was Adrian, but I chose to tune him out. As for Blake, he was completely silent—probably fast asleep.Shifting upright, I leaned against the headboard, my gaze falling on Ava as she stirred slightly but remained asleep. A small smile tugged at my lips as I watched her, peaceful and serene. Then, my attention drifted to the window, where the low-hanging moon cast a silvery glow across the room.Beyond it, the silhouette of the towering trees stretched across the mountains in the distance. The sight was tranquil—but not for me. I had only been here for a few hours, and though Nimue and Ava had made

AVAThe air in the living room felt heavy with unease as we all sat in silence, our expressions etched with concern. Derek remained close by my side, his presence grounding yet laced with tension. I must have looked like I had narrowly escaped death itself, my mind swirling with fragments of last night’s strange encounter. Thoughts ran wild—why hadn’t Nimue warned me? Did she not know? Or was this something even beyond her understanding?“Nimue believes what happened last night was orchestrated by the warlock princesses,” I conveyed to Derek through our mental link. “They could sense I was getting closer. They were calling out to me, summoning me to them.”Derek’s jaw tightened, his expression darkening with worry. “We have to keep searching for answers,” he replied, his voice carrying the weight of his concern. “They’re getting closer, Ava. Last night was proof of that. Who knows what else they might attempt?”Seth, who had been observing quietly, finally spoke, his gaze steady yet s

The cavern was unlike anything I had ever seen. The moment I stepped closer, the air thickened, humming with an ancient, unseen force. A luminous glow bathed the walls, casting shifting patterns as if the light itself was alive, writhing in unseen currents. The pool before me shimmered with an unearthly blue, its surface rippling like liquid sapphire under the cave’s soft bioluminescence.I inhaled deeply, catching the scent of mineral-rich water mixed with something sweeter, more intoxicating—like blooming nightshade or the crisp air before a thunderstorm. The cavern smelled of age and mystery, of secrets buried deep in time. I took another step, my boots crunching against a bed of smooth, water-worn pebbles. The sound echoed, swallowed by the vastness of the chamber.A soft, melodic sound filled the air, and it took me a moment to realize it came from the pool itself. The water wasn’t just moving—it was singing, a chorus of whispered notes that ebbed and flowed in harmony with the c

AVASEVERAL YEARS LATER " 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 f

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
