We walk into the house and Alexis immediately runs up to Kayla and jumps into her arms. My mom walks up to me and immediately wraps her arms around me while Kayla's mom does the same with her, and Alexis, since she refuses to let go of Kayla. After mom lets go of me, I reach Adriana and hug her. She pulls back and says, "Iโm so glad you're back. You can go back to cooking and taking care of the kid." I laughed, "Are you saying you can't handle what I do every day?" She laughs, "Maybe? I just know I don't like it". Everyone laughed at her while we walked into the living room and sat down and waited for Beau to come in.
After Beau walked in, Kayla and I updated them on everything that we've learned and becoming future Alpha and Beta of the Cold Springs Pack. I think Kayla's parent
โฏAbby POV After Adam left, I looked behind me and Kayla giggled, "Girl, he's got it BAD. You can't say it's the mate pull either. That's been gone for months. He's just not listening to Dina's shit anymore". I giggled, "If you hadn't been here to hear it, I would've thought I was just imagining the whole thing. Thanks for that". She patted me on the back, "No problem. You know I got your back any time". I chuckled and said, "We better get some sleep. We have another big day
We decided that we should go to the dining roomtable, becauseit has more room. I asked them if it would be possible for Kayla and me to go take a quick shower so that we can be more comfortable. They allagreed, whenmy dad had to embarrass me. He replied, "Of course. What is it you always say you smell like after a long workout?" I gave him a death glare, "A wet goat." Then I flicked a tiny lightning bolt at his arm on my way upstairs. He laughed and yelled, "OW! That hurt"! Everyone else chuckled.โฏ After I took a quick shower, I put my hair in a braid because Ididn'thave time for anything else. Then I looked in my closet and put on a pair of boot-cut jeans and a black tank top. I then covered it with a coffee-colored button up silk shirt, but I left it unbuttoned. I p
Damien POV I cannot believe how lucky I got in the Moon Goddess' choice of mate for me. She seriously could not be more perfect. I'm not exactly sure how she is going to manage being Alpha of her own pack, but Luna of mine. I was serious, though, when I said I don't care. I am so infatuated already; nothing matters but her safety and my pack. Speaking of which, I need to call Gabriel. He sounded like he wanted to talk to me about something. I take out my phone, call him and he answers on the first ring. G: Hey Damien. You don't have Abby with you, do you? M: No, What's up? G: I want you to know a few things. First, that is one special girl you got. It's a wonder she has stayed as sweet as she is with everything she's
Damien POV Holy Shit! My mate is HOT! She took my breath away as soon as I saw her walk down the stairs. I never thought leather could look feminine, but I have officially changed my mind. Zolten has been howling and panting since we saw her. He's going crazy over her bare neck, "Look at her! Her neck is bare and ready to be marked. She's perfect!" When she showed the pocket for her phone inside her boots to me, it took all I had to keep from putting my hands between those thighs that she keeps tempting me with. My mate either knows how to drive a wolf crazy or she is totally innocent and has no idea what she's doing. I have no idea which is the case. She keeps proving my initial impressions wrong, so I need to keep an open mind and let her reveal to me what sh
Damien POV I see some pup come up behind my mate and I am immediately on my feet and, therefore, so are my men. Kayla stands up as Abby turns and says, "Adam. I didn't think I'd see you here. This is my second chance mate, Alpha Damien Riggs from the Red Fang Pack. Damien, this is future Alpha of Silver Moon Pack, Adam Dumas". I could see my mate was nervous about this situation, so I held her close to me, while the pup tried to intimidate me by growling. I looked at him like he has lost his fucking mind, "Nice to meet the pup who gave me my mate. I've been wanting to thank you for rejecting her." The
Damien POV We had been having an amazing night. Watching her dance had made me have to readjust myself many times, but I would suffer through that every night if it meant getting to dance like that with her every night. She is so hot! Then that pup had to ruin it for us by confronting her like he did. Everything went downhill after that. Zolten was ready to start ripping that club apart when we suddenly felt panic that didn't belong to us. Zolten immediately had us on our feet, "Mate is in trouble! Go to her! NOW!" Before I knew it, I had the restroom door ripped off its hinges and I was staring at my beautiful, badass
I didnโt want to stray too far from Damien, but I really needed to get away from Dina. I walked out of that hall and shut the door. I waited in the foyer for Damien when I heard Yara warn, โWe should not be here alone. Someone is comingโ. Just then, Adam walks up behind me, puts a hand on my shoulder and I flip him over my shoulder. He lands on his back and chuckles, โGuess I had that comingโ. Yara laughed, โOh, itโs just himโ. I chuckled, โYou knew who was coming.โ She laughed, โOf course. I just wanted to see you do thatโ. I cringed, โYou should know better than to walk up behind me like that. Iโm already wound tight after talking to that bitch. Iโm ready for another fucking fight.โ Adam stands up, โWhy did you go out with him before we had a chance to talk?โ I was suddenly furious with him, โAdam, I was blessed with a second chance mate. Iโm not fucking that up. You were not willing to fight to keep me. Damien has more courage in his pinky, than you will ever have i
Damien POV I sat down across from her dad and said, "That pup who rejected her is going to put up a fight." Cade nods, "Probably. Abby wants nothing to do with him anymore. I know he came to her window again last night. I asked Kayla about it, and she told me that he wanted to talk to her after their testimonies were done and that he still likes her". I smiled, "So that's why she shut her window and closed the curtains." Cade growled, "Yeah. I do not like him doing that. Be a fucking man and come to the front door, if you want to see my daughter." I nodded, "I will ask her about it when I come over tomorrow. Do you mind if I come ov
Twenty Years Later Iโm sitting in my favorite spot with my mate sitting behind me in my favorite lounge chair. We are both drinking our morning coffee as two mountain lions walked up to the deck. They both bowed to us, and I smiled, โGood morning, Dusty. Good morning, Lilly.โ Dusty found his mate in his own pack on his sixteenth birthday. We had a party for him that night and he introduced her to all of us. She is such a sweet girl I really couldnโt wish for anything better for him. Robert and Katie are so proud of them. They had four children and they only have two still at home. I am so proud of the parents they are. The two children that have already found their mates and left are absolutely awesome. Linden found his mate and decided to build another house close to our land. His mate understands that he needs to be close to family and his siblings are all he has left. His father passed away when my triplets were only two years old. It was an extremely hard time for him. We made s
Robert and Katie laughed and shook their heads as Robert smiled, โNow that would make me rethink my choice to be a parent.โ I laughed, โI think she did.โ Just then, Calista ran out onto the deck, โGood morning, mom.โ She sat in my lap and hugged me tightly. I turned her around and introduced her to them. She smiled, โItโs very nice to meet my Uncle Dustyโs parents. I love him so much!โ Katie smiled, โIโm so glad you love him, Calista.โ I asked Calista, โIs anyone else up?โ She smiled, โDad is up with Raze and Eva.โ I laughed, โIs Willow awake yet?โ She shook her head, โShe was sleeping peacefully when I came out.โ I smiled, โThank you. I guess you would like some breakfast, huh?โ She smiled and shook her head shyly. I smiled, โOkay.โ Then I turned to Robert and Katie, โWould you like to join us?โ They agreed and followed me and Calista into the house. I cooked a big breakfast and had it all laid on the table. As soon as it was all prepared, it sounded like a herd of horses coming down
When Taylor was done feeding the boys, Evan and I took the boys in the living room to visit with everyone else. Uncle Dax was the first to hold out his arms. Evan smiled as he held out the first baby boy, โYou are now holding Cain, and the boy mom is holding is Dylan.โ After Doctor Harper was done with Taylor, I walked with her to another guest room in the house and smiled, โI remember how all I wanted after all that was to take a shower. Is that what you would like?โ She replied, โDefinitely.โ I smiled, โYou go ahead and take a shower. That shower has a bench in it so you can sit. I would highly recommend using it. I will get you some clothes.โ I opened the closet door and found a perfect pair of soft sweatpants and a t-shirt that looked lusciously oversized. I grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra and put them on the bed. When Taylor walked out of the bathroom in a towel, I asked, โFeeling better?โ She smiled, โThat did feel better.โ I got you a comfy pair of sweats and an oversized
Seven months laterโฆ Taylor and Evan are staying in the guest house with dad and Linden. Taylor wants me to be there for her when she gives birth. Sheโs afraid Evan is going to pass out. Evan agrees with her, but he still wants to be there for her and to see his babies being born. He swears we will try his hardest to stay conscious. We all laugh and Elliot smiles, โI donโt blame you, dude. I almost passed out a few times.โ We were all eating breakfast one morning when Taylor gasped, โOh dear. Iโm pretty sure Iโm in labor.โ I smiled, โEvan, you need to be keeping track of how far apart the contractions are. Let us know when they are around five minutes apart. Taylor, you need to tell him when each contraction starts and ends. Okay?โ She nodded in reply and I called Doctor Harper. Doctor Harper said she would start driving here now, so we will be ready. Wow. The whole family showed up! Within 2 hours, Elliot and I were sitting in the living room with dad, my mom, Evanโs parents, Aidint
I laughed, โI understand completely.โ Calista smiled, โI can sing for you, Uncle Dusty.โ He looked at me and I nodded, โTrust meโฆ You want to hear this.โ Dusty nodded, โI would love to hear you sing.โ Calista started singing the most beautiful and relaxing song I have ever heard and Dusty looks so relaxed and happy. When the song ends, Dusty chuckles, โCalista, you are awesome!โ She smiles proudly, โIโm a mermaid/wolf hybrid and an omega. My mom and dad rescued me from my old alpha. He kept me in a tiny room under the stairs in his packhouse. He was planning on marking and mating me. They rescued me just in time.โ Dusty asked, โWhat happened to your family?โ She looked down at her hands in her lap, โMy old alpha killed my parents and my brother. My parents hid me, but I saw him rip my brotherโs head off. But I have mom and dad now and I have the best family ever. I have LOTS of uncles and grandparents and now I have a brother and SISTERS! I really am a lucky girl.โ Dusty pulled her clo
One week laterโฆ Mom spent the night with us last night because mommy, daddy and sister all needed to get a full night of sleep. We were all starting to get quite cranky. I donโt think I was ever more thankful for my mom when she offered to stay overnight. After feeding the babies at eight pm, I went straight to bed. I think Calista went to bed before I did and Elliot was waiting for me in bed when I got there. We all slept like rocks and I didnโt wake up the entire night. It was my best nightโs sleep since the night before I gave birth to all of them. Donโt get me wrong, I love all three of my newborns. But they are definitely little sleep robbers! Ladies, let me give you a bit of advice. When other women tell you to sleep when they sleep, LISTEN! Trust me, it makes perfect sense. If the things you need to do can wait, do it. They have been wearing us all out. Raze has an insatiable appetite. We were at the grocery store yesterday, and a little older lady heard Razeโs hungry screams.
I held her close to me, โI donโt care how many little girls we give birth to; you will always be our baby girl. You just wonโt be the only one anymore. Okay?โ She smiled as she snuggled closer to me, โI like that idea.โ I smiled, โMe too.โ Then I asked her, โWhat do you think of being a big sister now that youโve seen your new brother and sisters?โ She giggled, โI am going to have so much fun. Especially with Eva! Sheโs like me!โ I started yawning and Elliot sighed, โAre you ready to get some sleep, love?โ I shrugged, โYeah, I better sleep while I can. Doctor Harper left some formula on the counter with the bottles. There are plenty of diapers in the nursery next to our room. Would you please turn on the baby monitor before you come to bed?โ Elliot smiled, โWe have plenty of help, love.โ I reminded him, โDoctor Harper told me to alternate between formula and breast milk. Next feeding, you all can feed them, but please wake me to feed them when they wake to eat after that.โ Mom nodded,
I suddenly felt fear wash over me and I was almost paralyzed. What if Iโm a horrible mom? I mean I would never do what Dahlia did to me, but what if I donโt develop that mother-child bond? Iโm scared to death but then Elliot leans to comfort me and says in low voice into my ear, โYouโre going to be fine, love. You are nothing but kind and nurturing. Youโve worked wonders with Calista. You have nothing to fear, baby. You also have tons of help at your fingertips.โ I smiled as he kissed my forehead, โYou always know exactly what I need to hear. I love you so much.โ With that, I felt my stomach get tight and I lifted my torso to bear down, pushing to help our first baby through the birth canal. Doctor Harper encouraged, โThat was a really good one, Elisa. Need another push.โ Another contraction hit and I started pushing again. I was pushing and felt a sudden reduction in pressure. Doctor Harper smiled, โHere is your prince!โ Our little boy started wailing as his father cut the cord, โHeโ
I sat in the living room with my feet up with dad, Elliot, Evan, Linden and Max. I was trying to relax, but my back started hurting. The ache started moving around to my belly and I could feel my belly squeezing tightly. It wasnโt so painful that it was alarming, it just really caught my attention. I raised my shirt to expose my belly as another contraction hit. As my belly contracted, I tapped Elliot to get his attention. As we both looked down at my belly, Elliot gasped as the babies were clearly visible as my belly squeezed around them. He asked, โThat looks like it hurts so bad, and you are just sitting there looking at it. You are tougher than I am.โ I laughed, โMy back hurts worse than my belly.โ Doctor Harper walked in, โDonโt get used to it. It wonโt stay this way.โ I looked up at her, smiling, โIt will all be worth it. I canโt wait to meet them.โ Doctor Harper smiled, โYou are going to be such a great mother.โ I asked, โDo you think a numbing spell would be a good idea?โ She
