ANNALISE…
I don’t know how long I was standing at the window just looking out, thinking, when I am startled by the sound of the lock on the door being unlocked. I don’t turn around as I know who it is, as he is the only one with the key.
Randall walks up behind me, wraps his arms around my waist, and then leans his chin on my shoulder as he pulls my body back into his. I know I said I didn’t want him to touch me, however, I also can’t stop him and then you have the fact that the mate bond makes my body not only crave his but melt into him when he touches it.
I sigh such an impossible situation I am in, not wanting something but not having a choice but to have it. Randall then places a few soft kisses up my neck to my ear, where he whispers,
“Sorry for locking you in, but I needed to be sure you were aware of what you agreed to before I allowed you to roam the pack again.”
“I understa
ANNALISE - FLASHBACK CONT’… Amity gives me a sly smile as she sees what I did. She then turns her attention back to the coming of my pups and says, “Now Luna… Annalise, I need you to take a deep breath and push with the next contraction.” I do as she says and follow her instructions as she gives them. After what seemed like forever, I slump back against Nicolas after my last push and our first daughter slips from inside me. Amity pulls out a small set of scissors and cuts the cord and then picks her up as she says, “Congratulations. You have a daughter, an Alpha female.” She passes her to me as I relax into Nicolas. When she opens her eyes, I smile and I don't know how I knew she was his as look back over my shoulder and say, “Our beautiful Danielle.” Nicolas smiles and closes the small gap and places a soft, short kiss on my lips. When he pulls back, Dominic approaches very slowly and says, “If I may, Luna?” I look at him, confused, until another wave of pain shoots through m
5 years later…ANNALISE…The years have been good. Anyone would think that being the Luna of two packs and the Queen of a kingdom would be hard and tiring, however; for me, it has been busy but fun and rewarding.Like now, I have a little quiet time, so I am sitting on the swing out in the backyard of the castle, sliding my hand over my swollen belly while watching Fredrick and Nicolas going through some of the playful training moves they came up with. It was the only way they could convince our daughters to pay attention to each of the lessons they tried to teach them.As I watch them, I remember the night that they were born…The night of the Full Blood Moon Eclipse…**FLASHBACK**I had been feeling a little off when I had squirmed and crawled out of bed early this morning. I just couldn’t stay sandwiched between my two mates any longer. I feel a small ache in my lower back and give it a slow rub as I walk into the bathroom and set the shower going. The warm water of the shower and
ANNALISE... I smile as he then pulls me into a tight hug, and I hear two low growls from the males that step back up beside me. As Fredrick pulls me in tight to his side, he says, “Back off Father… Annalise, as you have probably guessed or known, that is our father, Chase.” I giggle again as Chase bows to me and grabs my hand, placing a kiss on the back, earning him another growl. He straightens and chuckles as he returns to his seat. Fredrick then says, “And this lovely female is my mother, Nicolas’s stepmother. Katreena.” I look over, and my eyes go wide as she says, “It’s nice to finally meet you, Annalise. You ran off so quickly the day I visited Nicolas, he didn’t get a chance to introduce you…” I lower my head and whisper, “I…I… I was nothing but a slave then…” Tears fill my eyes as I remember that day and how I had thought that she was his girlfriend or lover or mistress with how they had walked down the hall so close to each other and then had eaten privately. It wasn
ANNALISE… She smiles as she turns the screen to face the three of us so that we can see the two images. Tears sting my eyes as I then turn and look at my mates. A small smile tugs at my lips, seeing the shock on their faces. My attention is brought back to Amity when she asks, “Would you all like to know what you are having?” I smile and say before she can, “Daughters. We are having daughters.” Amity looks at me with shock as she says, “That’s right. Annalise, how did you know?” “Amity, I am not stupid. I did a research paper at school on my family history and found that there were only females with the occasional male born to the 2nd or 3rd daughter of each new generation. So now that I know that I am a descendant daughter of the Moon Goddess, I realised a few weeks ago that any pups I had would be daughters... Would be females.” I turn my head and look over at Fredrick and Nicolas, as I don’t know if they have thought about this. Tears sting my eyes as I whisper, “You do rea
ANNALISE… I couldn’t believe that they had included a nursery/reading room. With the teddy still in my hand, I walk back over to them and wrap my arms around both of them as I try not to cry. Fredrick places a kiss on my shoulder and whispers, “Come, we haven’t finished yet.” I pull back and they both step back. Fredrick slides his hand into mine and leads me out of the nursery and over to another door. He stands in front of it as he says. “Now we know that there are going to be times when you have had enough of our overbearing presence, so we made this chamber up for you. It is for you and you alone. If you decide to invite one of us in well, then that is your choice. Otherwise, it is off-limits to me and Nicolas.” Fredrick then steps to the side and opens the door, allowing me to walk in. True to his words, they both stand outside the door as I move and look around the chamber. Nicolas says once again from the door,
ANNALISE…When he pulls his head back, we are above the surface again. I look into his eyes and he is laughing; I hit him on the chest as I giggle.“You bastard, you scared the shit out of me…”He continues to laugh as he says,“Sorry sweetheart.”I wrap my arms back around his neck and place a kiss on his lips. When I pull back this time, I look around and say,“Where is Fredrick?”I let out a surprised scream as two hands grab my waist and pull me back out of Nicolas’s arms. The hands turn me as his voice rasps into my ear.“I’m right here, sweetheart.”I giggle and hit his chest, as I did with Nicolas, before placing a kiss on his lips. Sparks flood my body as he growls low and wraps his arms tighter around me and deepens the kiss. When he pulls back, he leans his forehead to mine and whispers,“I love you.”I smile and whisper, “I love you, too.”I then look over my shoulder before turning in Fredrick’s arms just a little, allowing me to see both my mates as I say,“I love both of
