Poor Maddox has so much going on :( It all seems very chaotic at the moment, I wounder how Ahmet is? ;) As always gems and reviews always welcome :) MM xx
AlekseiI have been helping my father run the pack since I came home from Alpha training. I turn eighteen today and tonight is my birthday party. Even though I said I don't want one, my mother insisted it’s a rite of passage. I take a steadying breath as I look at myself in the mirror. I know that most are excited to meet their mates but in all honesty I am terrified. I have always loved someone and my wolf is drawn to her but she is not eighteen for another six months and well she is my best friend's sister. I watch my parents and their love is so special that if it’s not like that for me I don’t want it. Rina, my fifteen year old sister burst into my room. “Happy Birthday, Leksi” She shouts, rushing towards me, throwing herself at me, almost knocking me off my feet, and I can't help laughing. Czarina is the image of our mother, she is the most loving person and always sees the good in everyone. Something that scares me, the thought of anyone hurting her has my wolf growling. Her l
Epilogue part one Five years laterLyra“Aleksei, be nice to your cousin when she arrives” I tell my now moody five year old. He gets more like his father everyday, and has the moody Alpha act perfected. He sits at the dining table feeding his two year old sister Czarina, even though my daughter is more than capable of feeding herself. “Why does she have to come again, Mommy?” Aleksei says with the cutest little pout. “She always wants to play with me” He huffs, making me smile. Even at a young age he is so clever and it is easy to forget he is only five.I pick up my daughter and sit her on my swollen baby bump, she claps her hands and kisses my cheek. “Daddy said you need to be careful” My son says, pulling his sister down and holding her hand as we make our way to the front door to meet Maddox as he has gone to collect Kameal from the air strip. “Baby, baby, baby” Czarina says as she walks beside her brother. At almost two she is a shining light in our family, always laughing and
LyraGetting to the front steps Maddox places me on the floor before he shifts into Chaos. Even now my big black wolf takes my breath away with his jet black fur that looks so shiny it could be oil. Not to mention his bright blue eyes a shade brighter than Maddox’s usual sapphire coloured eyes. ‘Get on my love’ Comes My Alpha’s voice as he lays lower to the ground so I can get on his back. I had only just climbed on when he took off, making a squeak come from me before I burst out laughing as my mate took off at speed towards the back of our territory towards the cabin that I used to go to when I needed away from my parents. The cabin comes into view and I place a hand over my mouth in surprise, there in the dark covered in fairy lights is what looks like a fairytale cottage. Leaning forward I wrap my arms around Chaos’s neck ‘How did you know, it looks amazing, thank you’ I say as I bury my face in his soft fur.He slows and I slide off his back, and lay my head on his side “It’s be
LyraI have been sitting feeding Aleksei for the past twenty minutes, he just keeps spitting out spit bubbles and looks so cute. This child is a Goddess sent gift as Maddox keeps telling me and anyone who will listen. Carlos stands guard outside. I can hear the steady thrum of his heart, while he waits for me to hand him Aleksei. I have told him many times he is his guard not Nanny but my friend wont have it. He says that there is no need as he has to be there anyway, and if I am honest I prefer and trust him more than anyone else. “Carlos” I called, the door opened and my friend's face appeared. “Is he ready?” I smile at him, “Yes, he most certainly is, and full of beans” I say as I brush my nose off his and he giggles while spitting more bubbles.“I have meetings for the next two hours, then we have the meet and greet for the Nest” I say as I tuck him into his stroller. I try not to laugh as Carlos puts the nappy bag over his shoulder and takes the pushchair. “What?” Carlos asks, lo
LyraStepping off the jet in Russia felt bittersweet, good to be back in the homeland but it no longer felt like home. Aleksei’s first trip to Russia and I know how excited the elders are to meet the future king. Something I have made clear can and will only be happening if my son wishes to take the title. Carlos steps off behind me, proudly holding Aleksei. Two days ago at our ceremony Maddox and I had announced that Carlos was appointed our sons personal guard. *Flashback*I smile at my Alpha as he takes the podium, we had a surprise announcement for the pack. “I know we all want to get on with the celebration, but I have a very important thing to do as one of our pack” Everyone goes quiet with just the slight murmur of those trying to guess what is going on. “My Luna and I have been going over this since our pup was born and we are excited to announce that we have appointed a personal guard for the future heir of the Red Mountain Pack” Maddox looks over at me and holds his hand o
LyraI stand in front of the full length mirror just staring at myself, my mind plays over the last year and the time with Maddox. From the fact we both were determined not to accept each other to being completely obsessed with each other to having our son. Our son, he is perfect from his chubby little cheeks to his big red eyes.Willow took both Aleksei and Kameal out for a walk while I got ready. Today is my Luna ceremony and I can't wait to officially be the Luna. I know it’s just formalities as I already do everything a Luna should. If you asked me a year ago if I would be leading my people I would have laughed. I have never wanted to rule, not to mention lead a pack of wolves but here we are and I would be lying if I said this isn’t where I belong. These people have shown me more love and acceptance than even my own parents. Willow treats us all the same; she has become the mother we never realised we needed. She would have made an amazing Luna, even though she says she is happy
