Bellatrix's POV
"Mommy, I hurted myself in da grass" my little Saige whined in my arms as I made my way to the back door of the pack house. I withheld a laugh at her choice of words and kissed her cheek. "Don't worry my sweet. Juliet will take care of you" I assured her and right on cue with my words, Juliet stood in the hallway right outside of the infirmary door waiting for us.
Saige squealed excitedly and reached over for Juliet. Juliet laughed and happily took my daughter in her arms. "A little birdie told me you got a few scratches from outside" she said. Saige pouted and lifted up her elbow to reveal a paper cut thin scratch covered in dirt.
"Ju-ju pwease elp me" she whined.
"Oh at once my princess. We can't have our precious Saige in pain can we?" Juliet asked before turning on her heels and walked into the infirmary with Saige squealing happily in her arms. I smiled warmly at the sight before I
Present Day Ren's POV I standing in the middle of a forest; a light fog hovered around me but I can still make out my surroundings. Dawn had just broke and the morning dew was still fresh on the ground. I stood in place but turned my body in a circle. Why am I here? An echo of a woman's giggle sounded through the trees which sparked my attention. I turned in the direction of the sound and started making my way over. "Reeeen" a soft voice sang followed by another giggle. "Reeeeen" she said again and I sped my pace towards her. Hearing her voice gave me so much comfort I didn't want to stop hearing it. "Hello?" I called back out but she only giggled in response. I kept walking until the sun peeked through the trees ahead to expose a part of a clearing. "Ren please hurry" the voice spoke again. I found myself jogging to this mystery woman. I pushed past trees and av
Kaia's POVLaying in my bed and never leaving is the best decision my defeated mind can come up with right now. Even if I wanted to get up, my body had molded itself in my mattress and the sheets held me hostage in my comfort. Blaire had gone home an hour ago after spending the whole weekend with us to make sure I was okay. She spent the first two hours of her awakening this morning attempting to lift my spirits enough for me just to eat some breakfast before she left for work.I didn't want to eat, drink or think. I wanted to sleep. Maybe if I continue this long enough I can die in this bed and my dad could only nag me from the afterlife when he meets his end too. Saige and Blaire had sworn to secrecy not to tell a soul that my mate is human. They asked if I knew his name and I told them no. The minute I smelled him, all I can think about is all the ways my dad could blame me for being such a disgrace that the Moon Goddess gave me a human mate. He wou
The next few days, I have been a nervous wreck. After getting home with Elios in Ren's hoodie, Saige has been jumping off the walls in excitement for me. She's already trying to plan out what our kids' names could be and just the thought of having kids with Ren made my heart flip but we only just met. I had to calm her down several times and bring her back to reality with the help of Elijah. But one thing I do thank her for is pushing me to text him later that night; we eventually turned texting into talking over the phone and we were up until two in the morning which I regretted because I had to lead training at 6 in the morning.But a whole week has gone by and Ren had asked me out on a date tonight. Our relationship compared to how Saige and Elijah were is extremely slow paced; they were in bed within days of knowing each other and Ren and I have managed to give each other space which isn't something I wanted. I would often catch myself growing anxious when he would run er
**This chapter gets steamy towards the end**"Kaia? What are you doing here? Its 5:30 in the morning" Bastian asked, pulling his arms through his shirt. He looked like he was in the middle of getting ready when I knocked; his hair is a tousled mess, his pants still hung on his hips, his shirt was still wide open exposing his chest and he was barefoot."You never got back to me about watching Ren train with everyone. I figured I could beat you guys this morning and join you" I explained, pushing past him to enter his home.Bastian opened his mouth to speak but then sighed and closed the door. He walked past me to go into the kitchen, "You like coffee?" he asked."I had some before coming over. Thank you" I told him as I walked around to look at the pictures since I was soaking wet last time and didn't look around in fear of getting the floor dirty. I saw pictures of Bastian and Asumi's wedding, pictures of Ren and his brother and family ph
15 Years AgoBellatrix's POVThe door to the library opened wide and Saige came running at full force, "Mommy! Mommy! Look aren't I the prettiest princess ever?" Saige called out happily with a pink tiara on her head that matched her Sleeping Beauty costume. Kaia followed close behind her with her head buried in a book. I smiled at my daughters as they walked into the pack library where I found sanctuary. Saige ran up to me whereas Kaia sat in the chair beside me."You look beautiful sweetheart" I complimented and pulled her into my lap. "Where is your princess dress Kiki?" I asked Kaia."Dad said I'm going to be Luna soon and I shouldn't associate myself with childlike activities" she replied, not looking away from her book.I laughed lightly and pushed the book down so she can focus on me. "But my darling you are only 10. You technically are still a child" I reminded her.The large library door opened once
Present DayI gasped loudly in shock and sprung up to a sitting position on my bed. The same damn nightmare cursed me again tonight making my heart race with fear. The fire, my pack, my siblings' heads hitting the floor, and that damn villainous smile plagued me. I placed a hand over my heart and ran a hand over my sweaty face in an attempt to calm me down but the longer I sat here, the more anxious I grew. I pulled the sheets off of me and quickly ran out to the hallway. I walked down the hall to Saige's room and gently opened the door to peek inside. I sighed with contentment when I saw her sleeping peacefully in Elijah's arms."Thank goddess" I whispered and closed her door. I walked across from her room and opened Elios's door hoping to see him asleep as well but my heart fell when I found his bed empty and he wasn't in his gaming chair either.I swung the door open and began searching his room for any sign of him. "Elios?" I tried to keep m
Running to the library with Ren following close behind, I felt nothing but shock and betrayal that my father would have the gull to not only cheat on the goddess that was my mother but he did it with a vampire woman. He has the audacity to talk down on every other species but having sex with a vampire and impregnating her was okay for him. That son of a bitch.Not only was I angry at my father, I also held some anger towards Saige and Elijah for breaking something my mother held dear and we tried to keep it in the best condition but since they decided to be reckless, horny teenagers it is now broken.I flung the doors open and the sight of the broken wood sprawled across the floor only made me angrier and I sent a death glare to my sister and brother in law. Elijah took a protective stance in front of Saige but he forgot that I had the Alpha tone in me and I could use it whenever I damned well please. "Kaia, please I'm so sorry" Saige tried to squeeze in front of her m
It felt like time was frozen in place. Everyone stopped to look at my father as he glared daggers at me and Ren. I felt it was difficult to breathe; as if my lungs were being constricted by fear and refused to take in air. My body refused to move. I desperately wanted to shield Ren from my dad. He had a look in his eyes with murderous intentions and I'll be damned if he tries to lay a hand on my mate.Around me I saw others running to hide their mates and I don't know if my dad picked up on their scent or not but I'm praying he didn't. He seems too focused on Ren to care about anything else right now.Saige slowly turned around to face him but she knew better than to get near him. "Hi daddy. What brings you here?" she asked nervous sweetness. Elijah stood behind her and held her by her shoulders in case of any sudden lunges, he can push
