Aimee POV
I could feel the earth between my toes, the trees nearby, and every animal in the vicinity. I took a deep breath smelling everything nature had to offer. My senses intensified as I concentrated on my surroundings. I slowly opened my eyes to see the faces of my dear ones. I was a magnificent blue wolf and I also gave off a magical blue glow.
“Oh my god! Aimee your wolf is gorgeous!” my mother exclaimed. I could see the look of admiration reflecting in their eyes. I quickly preened and then sat majestically wagging my tail patiently waiting to see their wolves.
My mother was the first to shift. She made it look so easy, within seconds she had shifted. A beautiful maroon wolf was standing in front of me where my mother once stood. She wagged her tail and yipped at me. She came up to me and rubbed her head against mine. All I could feel was the love and admiration she had for me through that small gesture of affection. She sat next to me looking expectantly at my father and Sam. They both nodded their heads and began their shift. My father stood taller than my mother and me. With his jet-black fur and golden eyes, he rubbed along my side and sat on the other side of me. My attention now was drawn to a similar blue glow now standing before me. There stood before me a wolf, that stood taller than my father, with blue-black fur that radiated the same blue glow. As he approached me, I noticed the glow growing brighter. Sam reached his snout out and I followed suit. When our noses touched our glow became one and the most amazing electricity ran down my flank. The amount of love I felt was a little overwhelming but I knew he was just showing me his feelings for me. I reciprocated his gesture and saw him shudder.
I turn abruptly and took off in a full sprint towards the woods. The way the wind felt in my fur was amazing. I could feel so much more in my wolf form. I could feel the pulse of the forest like it was calling me, congratulating me on my transformation. The forest seemed to welcome me with open arms. Soon I heard the pounding footfalls of my parents and Sam. We came to a clearing far from my home where I would go to think. The waterfalls were sparkling as if happy to see me. I flung myself to the pillow-like grass that covered the floor of the clearing. They all followed suit, laying close to me.
Sam turned to me and licked me. Suddenly I could hear him in my head like I can hear Ash.
“You look so beautiful. You are breath taking.” Sam said nudging me with his snout.
“How can I hear you?” I asked.
“You are a part of my pack. When we finish mating and become one, we will have a special link no one else can intrude upon. You can also mind-link your parents and brother, as well as anyone in the pack.” He explained.
“Really? That’s convenient.” I said with a chuckle. “I will try it later. Right now, I just want to feel the world around me.” I said while I looked up at the sky, sparkling with stars.
I looked at the moon, which seemed to be smiling down at us, I smiled back. Thank you, moon goddess, for granting me this wonderful life. I tilted my head back and howled, for the first time in my life I feel normal, welcomed, and like I finally found where I belong. The others howled as well, giving thanks to the moon goddess. Soon more howls were heard, adding to the chorus being sent to the moon. It was so beautiful I felt a little teary-eyed knowing this was my pack.
The chorus subsided back to the sounds of the forest. I rose from my prone position, “I’m starving. Let’s head back and eat.” I said through the mind-link to all three at once. My parents’ heads snapped towards me in surprise, then nodded. I giggled a little at their reaction. We all walked back to the house together, stopping at the blanket on the ground to pick up the robes to cover us after shifting back. Sam grabbed a robe and passed it to me.
“Go behind the tree over there and shift back.” He said then grabbing his own and finding a tree to shift behind.
The shift back to human form was easier than shifting to my wolf. I shuddered at the cold air touching my skin. Dawning the robe, I went back to where my parents were now standing in their own robes.
“How do you feel? Are you taking this all okay?” my mom asked while hugging me. I could feel that a weight had been lifted from everyone’s shoulders. They seemed to feel whole again.
“I’m doing great. I feel complete and wonderful. Just hungry is all. I haven’t had anything to eat since breakfast.” I answered. My mom smiled and nodded.
We all went into the kitchen. I gasped in surprise to find my brother Dustin setting the food out.
I squealed, “Dustin you’re here!” I sprinted to him, colliding into a huge hug.
“Sorry I missed your first shift.” He said. “Mom didn’t have a chance to tell me before it happened. I’m here now and I prepared a big dinner for you. I know you are super hungry.” He said motioning for me to sit down and dig in. I smiled brightly at him and grabbed a plate.
It was the perfect ending to a magical night. I felt even more complete having all my dear ones with me on this special day. We chatted while eating, enjoying the presence of each other. Once we were finished my brother cleaned up the dishes while I walked Sam to the door.
“See you tomorrow My Love. We have a lot to talk about tomorrow. Get some rest, okay? I love you.” Sam said.
“I can’t wait. I will probably sleep really good tonight. I love you too.” I said. I stood on my tiptoes and wrapped my arms around his neck. Placing my forehead against his I stared into his gorgeous eyes. He took the lead and leaned in slowly to place a sweet soft kiss on my lips. The feeling that simple kiss gave me awoke a need for him I knew I had but stronger. I wanted to deepen the kiss but I reluctantly pulled away. Saying goodnight, I watched him walk to his car a drive off.
I said goodnight to my parents and brother. I felt like I was floating as I walked up the stairs to my room with a huge smile on my face. Plopping onto my bed, I curled around my pillow and drifted off to sleep.
imee POVThe first week was a breeze. The young fairy from the first night brought every meal to me. I learned his name was Thorn and that he was the eldest of his family. He was the prince of the eastern fairies while Rose was the princess of the northern fairies. He literally loved everything Rose did, the perfect match. Every day he would tell me a new story about his kingdom and family. He seemed so relieved to tell or connect with someone.Near the end of the week, he told me of his capture and how long he had been here. Natalia had created puppets to replace royal captures and confined them to the palace with a spell. One I knew I could break when the time came. Thorn told me of when he first arrived. He said that they were taken to a chamber under the palace where a glowing pillar stood. Natalia used this pillar as an anchor for the newly captured. I knew then that destroying the pillar would release the captive royals. With our newly formed bond, I knew Thorn w
Natalia POVI woke up refreshed and ready to end this. I have been here for almost a month and the blood moon is three weeks away. I get dressed and make sure my façade is still in place before I left my room to find the mutt. I found her in the kitchen eating her breakfast."Luna, what are my duties today?" I asked when I reached her side."You will shadow me and take down things that need to be done." She said simply."Yes Luna." I answeredI grabbed a muffin and water from the countertop. I quickly ate while standing. The mutt finished her breakfast as I finished mine. We started our day shortly after that. We went to the orphanage and detailed the things they needed. Then the hospital, the school, and then the library. There was no one in the library. So, why were we here?"Shut and lock the door. I have some research to do and don't want to be disturbed." She commanded with her Luna aura."Yes Luna." I replied.I di
Aimee POVAfter speaking with the young alpha, I linked my dad while Aniya and I left the guard tower."Dad, I need you to head to the east guard tower. there are four boys there that need an evaluation and blood drawn for DNA matching. Under no circumstances should the boys be found out about. Keep them a secret." I said."On my way there right now and I won't say a word." He replied.I linked the guards as well. "When they need medical attention link doctor Smith. If they have more information link Aniya, she will get the message to me." I ordered."Yes, Luna" Both acknowledged.Aniya and I decided to go see the pups in the orphanage before we headed home for dinner. I was happy to see them playing and happy. We were down to only 24 kids left waiting to find their parents. I read a story to them and played tag for a bit. The sun had already begun to set when we headed to the packhouse. Mom had worked hard on dinner and the table was already set. Aniya went and grabbed her pups to jo
Aimee POVI heard Sam getting up and turning on the shower. I decided to go and join him even though I had already showered. I knew that the next few days were going to be a complete mess and wanted to be intimate with him before this all unraveled. I hid my scent and undressed before entering the bathroom quietly so as to not alert him before I snuck up on him. I opened the shower door just enough to squeeze in and not let cold air in. I silently watched him wash his body and rinse off. Before he could turn around a released my scent and wrapped my arms around him. I heard him hum as my scent permeated the closed space and my hands roamed his toned body until they found his already erect member.“My love.” He said as his head rolled back and lay on my shoulder. “You are being sneaky again, you naughty Luna.” His voice was low and husky.I hummed on his mark and trailed kisses up his neck. “Yes, I’m naughty. What will you do a
Natalia POV Sooner than expected 3 border guards ran up to us. The pups were instantly scared. They started whimpering and trembling like last time. They clung to me and all tried to hide behind me. I used that and acted protective of the pups. “Please help us. We escaped from a dungeon somewhere in the middle of nowhere. We have been running for two days.” I said as panicky as possible. “It’s okay. Just follow us to the guard house.” One said with his hands up in a soothing manner. This was going to be so easy, I thought to myself. They led us to a little cabin but we were still in the middle of the woods. I cursed inwardly. I was hoping they would take us to the pack house. They let us into the cabin and told us to relax. I sat down on the couch in the living room while the pups went over to the toys they had in the play area they had set up in the corner. They must get abandoned pups a lot if they have this set up in the guard house. Then the realization hit me, those pups that
Natalia POV After I changed my appearance and hid my dark aura, I made a potion that was stronger than the one I made for Master. I needed it to last longer than when master used it. After consuming it I smelled like those wretched creatures. I love the pups but I loath werewolves. I was mated to one but I used him for my experiments which ultimately killed him. I still didn’t understand why I even had a mate or which god created him for me. Whoever it was must have known I wouldn’t be swayed by the mate bond. Enough thinking, it's time to act up a storm. I soaked my clothes before I burst through the dungeon door panting as if I was being chased. I hit the button on the wall unlocking all of the doors at once. “Come children! Follow me I am getting you out of here!” I yelled from the doorway with slight panic infused in my voice. Around 20 pups came running out towards the door. I had told the guards to lay on the ground and act as if they had been knocked out so th
