BELLAMY “You and Kenzie are great. There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for you. We have all thought of you as a brother since we met you and began working with you. We wouldn’t be anywhere if it hadn’t been for your involvement. Yes, I flirted with Kenzie, but I didn’t mean anything by it. Your mate is beautiful inside and out. We will stand with you both until the end,” Derek said. I gave them all an appreciative smile and nodded my head. I had not anticipated such sentimentality from Derek, but it made me proud of the young man he has become. He was only seventeen, but he had faced so much adversity growing up that it was hard for him to connect with people. His father was an abusive asshole who used him for his magic. Derek had the ability of suggestibility. It was not like Markov’s power. When he tapped into his magic, he could sway someone into doing something, but it was not compulsion. It was just a suggestion. Those with weak minds would fall easily into his traps, but those who
BELLAMY “If our guys are going to be a part of this, it’s not fair to keep everything from them. They need to know what’s at stake with Markov and us,” I told my gorgeous mate. We had just finished a shower. Well, and shower sex. Sex with Kenzie was better than I ever could have imagined that it would be. The fact that she truly wanted to try things with me made me love her even more. I could not wait to return the favor and let her try out one of her fantasies on me. It would be very pleasurable for both of us if I knew her at all. “I agree. They need to know about the kidnappings, the Council, and our marks. How do we go about this? You know my fathers will want to ensure they’re up to the challenge and scare the shit out of them. Plus, they need to also know about the prophecy.” Hmm. They could be like our very own Squad One. I liked that idea. It served Blood Moon very well since the pack had over 155,000 pack members. It was divided up into eight sectors which were essentially
KENZIE“Mom, it’s good to see you. What’s up?” I asked, answering the door to her.Mom smiled and gave me a hug. She asked if we could talk for a moment. Bellamy excused himself with a kiss to both our cheeks. I loved the fact that those two had always been so close.I doubted that I would ever get used to him being mine. No matter how many times he kissed me, I still wondered if it was a dream. Understanding that we were mates made me understand why I always thought about him growing up and especially once he was gone. We would never be able to make up for the time we lost together, but we had now and forever to make the most of.“Nae told me about this party you will be attending and will be right here. I asked Luca to send us Beatrice as well. We really like her, by the way.”The other two showed up, and I was not entirely certain what they were going to say. Mom said that she and Aunt Nae knew about the party. Would she try and talk me out of it?“So, you know about the party?” I
KENZIE “You knew,” Luca accused, pointing at me with an arm around Beatrice. I had never seen my brother happier than he was the moment that the mate-bond clicked into place. On the outside, Luca showed that he did not care much about finding his mate, but it was an entirely different truth on the inside. My brother longed for his completion, but I knew that he was worried about leaving me alone. We understood things about each other that others never would because of the bond that we shared. “Who do you think told Nonno we had to throw an impromptu coronation? I sure as hell didn’t need it. Marnie clued Bel and I in when we went to jailbreak her. She said it was the only way to save you two. No idea why knowing the mate thing matters, but we like her too much to let her die,” I told him. He stared me down for a whole thirty seconds before he nodded and pulled her closer. “Thank you. I like her too much for her to die as well.” She stared at him like he was crazy. Ah, yeah. Well,
LUCABeatrice was the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen before. I stupidly thought that I beheld true beauty before, but it was a cheap imitation.“Are you ready for this, Lu?” she asked, looking at me with those doe eyes that always pulled me in.“As long as you’re on up there with me. You’ll stand with my parents,” I told her, placing a chaste kiss on her lips.“I’ll be there to cheer you on.” She gave me one last hug and went to stand in line.Nonno and Leonidas were first. Then my parents. Kenzie and I were behind them, and the rest of our people were behind us.I was fairly nervous which was hilarious because I did not really do nervous. I was always a more go-with-the-flow type. It drove Kenzie absolutely insane which was one reason why it became part of me. I absolutely loved my wombmate, but I was sworn to a lifetime of tormenting her.“Welcome! Thank you for joining us this morning for this impromptu coronation of our Alpha heirs. Alpha Prince heir Luca Venscothi and Alpha
LUCAThis was a very impromptu coronation, so I knew it would not be a huge fanfare which was perfect for me. Many people would want the attention of the adoring crowd, but that was not how we were raised.Our parents and Nonno ensured that we understood it was a gift to be in the position that we were. It was not our right but our privilege. Our duty was to always be the leaders that our people needed.It took a while for our people to heal after what Selene had done. It was still hard to hear about what she did and the hand she had in Mom’s torment, but like the badass that Mom was, Selene got her ass handed to her on a silver fucking platter.My fathers clasped a hand on both shoulders and smiled at me. They were the best fathers that I could have ever been blessed with. They always put Mom, Kenzie, and me first. They hurt Kenzie, but she moved past it, and so did I. They fucked up, but they owned up to that and were trying to right their wrong with her.“Son, we’re incredibly prou
