LOGINChapter 4
Ava's POV The next day, I went into my husband's office. I was determined to see what goes on when he goes for his collections. I think it's about time that I go with him and Kayla; at least, I can keep her out of trouble. I walked in while he was on the phone with someone on the other end. Here I was, nervous even though I shouldn't be. I already knew his answer because he's been wanting me to come along to learn. So, I sat on his lap, playing with his hair, leaning down to kiss his neck. I knew what I was doing. When I kiss his neck, he gets off the phone faster. He wrote down an address on a notepad and then got off the phone. "You do know what that does to me, sweetheart," Smirking, I nodded slowly. Leaning to kiss me, I held two fingers up to his lips. "I want to go to the next collection with you and the guys. I'm tired of staying home wondering if you're going to come home okay or hurt. I want to see what you do." The look on his face said it all; he looked surprised. For almost twenty years, I have stayed home not wanting to go because I thought I should stay here. Now I needed to go. If I'm going to be the queen of the mafia, then I should start going. Cheyenne used to go with Mercury, so I think I should go with him. Taking my fingers from his lips, he kissed the top of my fingertips, then smiled with a serious smile. "I've been waiting for you to tell me you want to go. Do you realize how awesome this is, Ava? I know you have been training with mom, and she has taught you what she knows. But the thing is, I will train you as well after tonight. We are leaving in a few hours. I need you to be ready. I'm sure you already know how to use a gun since you've been training with dad on that part. You will need to wear all black; that's what we wear when we go on these collections. After tonight, what I'm going to show you in training is going to be all new for you. So, I'm just getting you prepared." I didn’t realize I was going to go with him so soon. I thought he would want me to go with him in a week or two, but nope, he wants me to go with him tonight. What the hell am I going to do about that? Do I even have anything black to wear? Do I even have time to shop? I doubt it; he said in a few hours. "I'm not sure if I have anything black, Isaiah, but I'll head up and see if I do," I saw him smirk at me. "Honey, I was kidding. Wear jeans and a shirt, whatever you want to wear." He started laughing as I rolled my eyes. I wanted to punch him in the head, but I decided not to. I had to figure out what I was going to wear. I'm not used to this. But I figured something out; his fingers wrapped in my hair, pulling my head toward him. I loved how he did this; his lips smashed into mine, and we deeply kissed each other. We only stopped to catch our breath; we looked lovingly into each other's eyes. I could look into his baby blue eyes for the rest of my life. "Honey, we can continue this when we get back. But right now, I need to get up and get ready." I tried getting off his lap, but he wouldn’t let me. His hand slid down between my legs. I knew he could feel the heat coming off between my legs. "Your body is saying something different, my sexy mate," he said in a sexy husky voice. "But I know we need to get ready. I need to get the things ready that we will need. Just head upstairs and get ready before I bend you over this desk right now. If I do that, we won't be going anywhere tonight." I smirked, wiggling in his lap, feeling his hardness. I quickly got out of his lap as he growled, watching me leave the office. Then I rushed upstairs to see what I had. I had to link with Cheyenne to see what she would wear if she was going. Cheyenne, I'm going with your son tonight. If you were going, what would you wear?” While i was looking for something to wear i found a black shirt, with a pair of ripped black jeans, with my black boots, this will work perfectly fine, its a little over the top since my boots had spikes on them, but i wanted to look like i belonged in the group, while i was getting ready, i finally heard back from Cheyenne, “Just wear what you want honey, but make sure you look tough. you don't want those people thinking they can beat you, good luck, i'll be over in a few minutes to see yall off,” the link shut off, So i needed to look tough, alright let's do this, I put on my clothes than my boots, walking to the bathroom, i wondered what i could do, i put my hair in a high ponytail, i didn't think i needed any makeup so i didn’t put any on, but i did find my daggers, so i placed them in my boots, they were deep enough so no one would know they were there. i was ready, taking a deep breath i walked out of the room bumping right into my daughter Taylor Taylor pov I knew we were going on a collection tonight, I put on what i always put on, my black hoodie with jeans and my boots, my hair was put up in a messy bun, i liked it that way it kept it out of the way so if i got into a fight, they wouldn't be able to pull on my hair. i hated that why in the world do they always go for the hair or a hard smack in the face, that just pissed me off even more, I got a link from my father just as i was putting on my boots, “Taylor, your mom is coming with us tonight, go and check up on her and make sure she's alright, i know she's nervous so just try and calm her down if that's even possible,” I wanted to laugh, "What? Mom is coming? When did she ever want to go with us? She always says she would rather stay home and wait for us to get home, so I decided to link back. I wanted to be a smart ass, but I decided not to do that, I didn't want to be stuck at home wondering what was going on. “Alright dad, i'm just putting on my boots, Then i'll head to yalls room to see if she's okay,” i ended the link before i ended up saying something that would piss him off, because trust me, i could piss him off real easy but then i would be stuck here bored out of my mind, heading out i walked toward my parents room. Mom was coming out right when i stopped at their door, she almost bumped right into me, when i saw her, my mouth dropped open, She was wearing black ripped jeans, a black shirt with spiked knee high boots, her hair was in a high ponytail, shaking my head i gently pushed her back into the room telling her sit down, she looked confused but sat down anyway, “Mom you look hot as h3ll, but i don't like the high ponytail, you look like your going through something like that,” i took out her ponytail, brushed it so it wasn't tangled, my mom had dark long hair, it was almost down to her a$$. so i decided to cut it, we had an hour left, So why not, i cut it where it was in the middle of her back, i knew she would feel better and a little light headed at first but she will be alright, i made sure her hair was even then i brushed it out again, Twisting her hair into a messy bun, she looked really good, i made her change her shirt because she would be itching from all the hair that was on it, than i was done, “mom, do you have something just incase you need to use to to protect yourself?; she nodded taking out to sharp looking daggers from her right boot, than placed them back inside them, nodding i agreed with her, she looked bad ass but the messy bun didn't look right in her head, so i said screw it and placed it into a ponytail, she looked better without the one on top of her head, she looked like a badass chick, “Alright your ready mom, i think dad is going to like what your wearing, we heading downstairs to where my dad was waiting for us with uncle Spike and Grandpa Hawk, they were just wearing regular clothes, they didn't have to try hard to look scary because they look scary, If you ever met Spike, you would probably want to run the other way, He was the nicest guy you could ever meet. but if he is working or you mess with is family, well he turns into a whole different kind of person, he has short brown hair that he likes to keep short, brown eyes he's about 6,4 and very strong his arms looked like if he clotheslined you, you wouldn't be getting back up at all, even grandma Cheyenne was waiting for us, she always comes to see us off, she sometimes comes with us like Her mate Mercury, but not all the time, "Ava, you look hot, woman. Here I have something for you. Since it’s your first time going out with the guys and Taylor, I want to give you something. You know how to shoot, so if you need to, I want you to shoot." She gave mom a pistol. It was long and looked heavy. Wait, that was grandma's gun. "Grandmother, are you giving mom your gun? Are you for real? That's a badass gun." “Yes, I'm giving this to your mother. You see, before Goldie left to travel the world with her mate, she gave this to me. She told me to give it to the next queen of the mafia, so that's what I'm doing. I'm giving it to Ava. She knows how to use it. She's been training for a few years now. I think she can handle it." I was shocked. I didn't know mom was training with a gun. Dang, what else has she been doing that I didn't know she was doing? I thought she just hung around the house cleaning or planning parties or something. Turns out she's a badass. Damn, my mom is a badass. "Alright, guys, we need to head out. Everything is in the SUV, so let's get going. This motherlucker is an hour away, so let's get going. I want to get there and get back home, so let's go." When dad says "let's go," that's when we go. It means he's tired of talking and he wants to leave. So we headed to the SUV, got inside, and then sped off. Dad will talk about what to do when we get closer. I knew I would be by the door as always, but that's fine. As for mom, I'm not sure what she will do, but I'm sure dad will figure it out. I can't wait to see her in action.”chapter 130 Tori POVI stood there during the wedding, listening to Kayla and Lucas exchange vows. But all through the ceremony, I felt it…someone was watching me. My nerves kept me frozen in place.Finally, they said “I do” and kissed. And then… chaos.A crazy woman appeared out of nowhere, screaming, “YOU KILLED MY FUCKING FATHER, YOU BITCH!”Before she could reach Kayla, something insane happened…vines erupted from the floor, snatching her up. Kayla calmly walked over and stabbed her straight in the heart. The vines dragged her down, and then the floor returned to normal. I blinked. Freaky… but ridiculously badass.Once the crowd settled, Kayla addressed everyone:“Alright folks, drama’s done. Let’s head to the grand hall for food, cake, and dancing!”Cheers erupted, but I could still feel tension lingering. Someone had just tried to kill their queen… right after her wedding.As we walked toward the hall, someone stepped beside me. My body tensed. I knew instantly he was the one
Chapter Title: The Wedding chapter 129 Kayla POVIt was 1:45.Time to walk down the stairs…My heart was beating so loud I was sure everyone could hear it. I slipped my shoes back on with Mom’s help. She adjusted my dress, fixed my hair, while Luna made sure my makeup was perfect.“I don’t want the veil down yet,” I said. “Not until I’m outside. I need to see where I’m walking.”..No one argued.We started down the stairs….Please don’t trip.Please don’t trip and fall…Please don’t embarrass yourself on your own wedding day….Step after step.And when we reached the last one without me falling flat on my face, I silently thanked the Goddess.Outside, the garden looked magical. The arches were covered in flowers, white petals lining the aisle. Once my heels touched the stone path, Mom gently pulled the veil over my face.“Take a few breaths, honey bee. It’s going to be okay. There you go. In… and out. Your husband is waiting.” Should I run?No. I wasn’t going anywhere.I was just scared.
chapter 128Wedding DayKayla POVThe knock at my door felt like it was trying to break the hinges clean off. I groaned, rolling over and burying my face into the pillow. Who in the hell was knocking like that this early? I had finally gotten the best sleep I’d had in weeks. The knocking didn’t stop.With a growl, I swung my legs over the bed and stomped to the door. I yanked it open.“This better be good. I was having the best sleep I’ve had in a long time.”My sister didn’t even answer. She shoved me backward into the room while my mom burst out laughing behind her.I frowned. “What?”“Kayla, look at your hair,” Mom wheezed.I reached up and felt it sticking up in every direction possible. Wonderful.“Why are y’all here so damn early? The wedding isn’t until two!”“Honey,” Mom said gently, stepping inside, “it’s ten in the morning. You slept through training. We need to get you in the milk bath and start getting you ready.” Before I could argue, she disappeared into the bathroom w
chapter 127The Day Before the WeddingKayla’s POVI was pacing back and forth, convinced I was about to wear a hole straight through the carpet. My mom had been watching me for a while before she finally stood up, walked over, and gently grabbed my arms to stop me.“Kayla, calm down. Lucas will be fine, okay? He just went to a meeting at another pack. There were rogues that attacked. You know how strong he is. Your dad, your grandfather, and Spike went with him. It’s going to be okay.”I knew she was right… but knowing didn’t stop the worry. He was my mate…my soon-to-be husband. I wanted to see him. I wanted to look into those eyes I’d memorized over the last few months. I wanted to wrap my arms around his neck and just feel him…so I would know he was safe.Finally, I sat down, my feet practically sighing in relief.“Listen,” Mom continued, clearly trying to distract me, “the catering people will be here in a few hours. They’ll cook while we finish setting up. The wedding cakes will
chapter 126Reene POVI knew what I did was wrong. I was hurt…heartbroken….and all I could think about was taking Luna’s mate just so I wouldn’t feel so empty. I apologized over and over, but I knew she was furious. I let her beat me until I was nearly dead. I didn’t even fight back.If no one had stopped her, I wouldn’t have blamed them.A part of me wanted to die anyway. Anything to make the pain stop.After a few days in the hospital wing, I healed. They moved me to the other side of the castle. I was only allowed out for training, breakfast, and dinner. The rest of the time, I was alone…with my thoughts… and my broken heart. One night, I decided I’d had enough.There was a cliff I’d found once while hiking. It was beautiful…quiet, hidden, peaceful. The perfect place to disappear.My wolf begged me not to do it. She said it would kill her too. I told her to ask the Moon Goddess to free her before I jumped.I stood at the edge, looking down. It really was beautiful. The wind brushed
Chapter 125Kayla POVIt was one week before the wedding, and for once… no one was fighting. Thank the Goddess for that.I truly thought Luna and Reene were going to kill each other. When Luna found out Reene had been trying to talk to her mate after Reene’s own mate rejected her for his chosen mate, all hell broke loose. They had rejected each other, but that didn’t make it hurt any less. Luna nearly killed her. Reene didn’t even fight back.She healed after a few days and moved to the other side of the castle.
