Patrick’s POV “Patrick has pack business and we are leaving for the Lycan Kingdom tomorrow, can we send 30 warriors for you to command?”I raise my eyebrows, Marie is sounding more like a Luna everyday. She knows I have room for 30 on my transport plane. What is she offering? And why?“They will leave in 35 mins and land at Silver Creek three hours after that. I’ll call James a let him know.” She hangs up. “My sisters are in trouble and dad needs 30 warriors, can we send squads B and E?” “Yeah, I’ll give the order.” I mindlink everyone I need to so that they can get to Silver Creek in the time my Luna said. Once I came back to her she was smiling. “You didn’t even ask why. I just said we needed Warriors and you sent them. You trust me that much?” She has her chin in my chest looking up at me. “Yes, but what is going on?” I ask, kissing her nose. “Shay was spelled by an Alpha who wanted her, but dad refused so the Alpha is about to attack Southern Crescent and Dad needs Warriors t
Marie’s POV The battle yesterday went ok, there are a few serious injuries, including Luca, Patrick’s cousin. It was his first battle and he fought well. He should be okay, thankfully. There are new mates! My cousins, Edward and Emmett, found their mates! Edward to an Alpha Female named Monica. Emmett to Luca, future Alpha of Silver Creek. “Seems the goddess wants our families interwoven,” Patrick is smiling at me, as we fly to meet his parents. He still won’t tell me why he won’t replace the Gamma line, nor will he have sex with me. Something is different, I know because I know him. “It would appear so. But, I want to talk about something else please,” I smile at him. “What do you want to talk about, my love?” He asks me, pulling me in his lap. I kiss him with a needy passionate kiss. I’m wearing a dress for a reason. “Make love to me,” I pant, breaking our kiss. He closes his eyes and pulls me close for a second kiss, but only a kiss. “Not yet, my love.” I stand up
Patrick’s POVMarie is going to take a long time to forgive me. My choice was really about her. I don’t want her to ever regret her life.We land in the Lycan Kingdom and are greeted by my parents.“I screwed up and to get myself out of the doghouse I had to call Blake, Carlisha, and Tony and tell them about Ceylon. Or get rejected at thirty-five thousand feet.” I tell them before hugs and hellos.“What did you do?” My mother snarls and hits the side of my head before even hearing my side. “He got a vasectomy without discussing it with anyone.” Marie interjects.“You did what?” My dad looked pissed.“It’s reversible,” I add quickly.“What if something goes wrong?” My mom asks. “A McConnell has been Alpha for the past 600 years.”“You are insane,” My father is almost as angry as Marie.“I’m Alpha, I made a decision. Discussion over,” I use my Alpha command.They all bust out laughing. Dad is holding us his stomach laughing. “We are all Alphas; you can’t command us!” Marie gets out.
Marie POV They did not just kidnap the granddaughter of the moon goddess, daughter of Claire Wallace, mate of Patrick McConnell, daughter-in-law of Kassandra Byatt. The level of stupid. I roll my eyes as this Lycan who is carrying me takes me to a little house in the woods. It’s clean, well kept. Looks like a hunting lodge. I send my mom the distress signal and I wait. I know she will be telling Patrick where I am and any Lycan who gets in his way is dead. So much for a treaty. Blood Moon is about to go to war with the entire Lycan Kingdom. “Did you know Lycan’s mate at seventeen?” A smooth, unfriendly, unfamiliar voice coos at me. I turn and a young-looking man with long blonde hair, golden eyes and pale skin is staring at me from the couch. “Yes, Lycans do; but werewolves, it’s eighteen.” I answer. “As a Royal, I sense you, I want you,” he starts to walk toward me. This guy has a death wish. “I caught your scent on my father. He must have been close to you.” “You are the D
Patrick’s POV“I need to be there at midnight, but no, the Vamps want a meeting in the morning. What the hell, it will be 7pm by the time we get to Blue Mountain. My canines can’t take it!” I’m angry. It’s her damn birthday tomorrow and the Vampires want a meeting. Not a phone conference, a face-to-face meeting. Apparently, they have some matters to discuss that simply can’t wait.I told them to take it up with the council and was rebuffed. It has to be me, and it has to be tomorrow morning. They can’t come to Blue Mountain, because of some treaty after Liam killed their second prince. So, I have to stay here on her birthday. My canines are actually aching to be deep, deep in her flesh as she screams in pleasure only I can give her. Only I will ever give her.“We will leave as soon as they do,” Marcus assures me. He has Ceylon on his shoulders.Ceylon is visiting with his parents. He likes my office. Blake loves his visits and Marcus loves how much of Cleo he sees in Ceylon’s eyes.“T
Shay’s POV I am smiling and laughing with old friends, when Gina and Zek are in my eye line. They shake hands with our parents and turn away from me. I deserve that. Gina looks more tone, stronger, like she has been really putting in the training time. I can’t help but be proud of her. My nose starts to twitch, I can’t believe what is happening. My wolf is taking over. He’s tall, blond like me, brown eyes, solid jaw, as big as an Alpha but not with an Alpha's aura. Who was it and why is my wolf going crazy? “Mine,” he growls, loud enough that my parents and Gina look over. “A second chance.” “Marcus, you okay man?” Patrick asks. “I have a second chance,” Marcus is gripping my waist hard and possessively. Patrick smiles, “Welcome to Blood Moon, Beta Shay.” My parents darken. Marie is no match for me, if I lose my temper on her she won’t survive. “I think it’s best if a rejection take place,” my mother saids. Marcus gets angry and pulls me closer, “no she is mine. Nothing and
Marie’s POVFour years ago, on my eighteenth birthday, I was marked by a red head, with sexy muscles, a brain that worked sometimes, and a mouth that works overtime. He makes me so mad I want to tear him limb from limb. But he gets me. He loves me in big and small ways. Like today, he is sitting in the blazing sun, wearing a suit, to watch me walk across the stage, as a college graduate.Tonight, we will celebrate privately, because his reversal was a success and I get to tell him about his upcoming heir. He has no idea yet; I’ve been masking my scent.He had to take over the Vampire Territory, they came after my mother. He didn’t leave a single Vampire to carry on. My grandmother was killed by my sister Beth’s Mate, they had a similar situation to me and Patrick, they knew about each other a little too early.There are still a few hybrids with Vamp genes, Patrick is one, and a few in other realms but in this realm, Patrick made full Vampires extinct.My sister is my Beta Female, and
Patrick’s POV“Whoa there!” I say to Devon, Liam, and Charles. They are running down the Alpha Hall toward the playroom. “There is a baby sleeping.”Devon is Shay’s daughter with her former Alpha and visits twice a month.Marie and Brittney gave birth on the same day five years ago to Liam and Charles, the Future Alpha and Beta.“Sorry, Uncle,” Devon said. She is the eldest at eleven and always seems to lead the boys.“Such a silly girl,” Ceylon teases from behind me. He is now 14 and training to be Gamma. His family moved to Blood Moon two years ago, so he could train full time.“Don’t call me that you nitwhit!” Devon spat back.“I’ll call you whatever I want,” Ceylon shot back. “You play with babies all the time.”“It’s better than playing with adults,” she is shaking with anger.“I don’t play, I train; I have an important job one day,” Ceylon looks impressed with himself. Marcus, Blake and I stand back to watch the exchange between Marcus’s stepchildren.“Ohh, Gamma so important, I
