“How are you and our pup feeling?” Ryder questions, sitting and rubbing Aiden’s back as he feeds.“Good, just tired from the drive. I’m going to nurse him once he’s finished drinking blood, then put him to bed. I’ll have Valery stay inside with him and go help where I can to get people set up,” I answer, sitting on the very soft bed and pull myself into the pillows against the headboard.“Please be careful, we’re changing a lot at once, and some of these people are not happy to be losing their free labor,” Ryder insists, looking down at Aiden when he pulls away.“Was that good?” Ryder chuckles, wiping Aiden’s little bloody lips clean when he smiles.“He does love feeding on his Daddy. I will be careful I promise, I plan to have Kitty stay by my side so she can introduce me to the people who need the most help, and so I can learn who the most influential people on both sides are,” I explain, reaching out for Aiden knowing he will start fussing for milk.“Having Kitty with you works for
“Nikki and Seb are going to go through Lucas’ old books with me so we can find out how the pack stands financially, and start to fix things. Will you be ok with Kitty and Johanna?” Ryder asks me, after talking for about an hour with Johanna and the other women around the fire.“Yeah, I’ll be perfectly fine here, everyone is very friendly so far and I know you need to take care of things,” I nod my head and look up at my gorgeous mate, adoring this strong responsible side of him.I can’t be prouder of Ryder. He’s become quite the Alpha, and he’s doing it with more pressure being a hybrid since all eyes are on him.“I love you, if you need me let me know. I’ll check on Aiden and make sure he’s still sleeping,” Ryder pulls my chin up then presses his lips to mine making me giggle, knowing we have an audience.“I love you too, I’ll make sure to link you if I need anything. And thank you, I was going to go check on him soon if you didn’t,” I reply.Reaching up I place my hand on the side of
“It’s starting to look like a proper pack out there,” I can’t hide my smile when I hear Raven’s voice from behind me. “Raven,” I gasp, turning to see her standing in the doorway of my room with Roan in her arms. “Lily, you look so beautiful,” Raven smiles, despite looking exhausted and run down from what I would guess is a lack of sleep. I blush standing in front of her, wearing a lavender white ombre A-line floor length gown with a large slit up to my thigh on one side. The gown flows and looks like something you would see in a fairy tale as it has light blue crystals that match my eyes trailing up the slit to my waist following the ombre. “I’m so glad you’re here, you look good other than being tired,” I hug my twin, ecstatic she’s here for my Luna and Ryder’s Alpha ceremony. “Who knew being a mother to twins would be so exhausting, they constantly need to eat. Of course I’m here, I wouldn’t miss this for anything,” Raven holds onto me with Roan between us. “I’ve missed you so
“Enough about me, let's get you out there,” Dad suggests, nodding towards the door. “Sounds like a good idea, I need to put my sandals on,” I agree, sitting on the lounge with a pair of dark brown leather gladiator sandals. “Here, let me,” my father kneels in front of me and take my sandals from my hand as I nod gratefully. “Thank you, it’s getting hard to bend with her growing so quickly,” I giggle feeling my belly when my pup kicks at the movement of my hand. “You’re welcome. That’s good, she’s healthy and strong just like her mum,” he chuckles with a warm smile, as he places my foot in the sandal and begins to tie the lace. “She really is, the last few nights Ryder has fallen asleep talking to her,” I laugh softly, thinking about how much I enjoy running my fingers through Ryder’s thick black hair when he lays his head on my chest to worship my belly. “I’m very glad to see you and Ryder together, not only is he a good mate, but he’s a good man. I have a feeling he’ll surprise u
“Do you need anything before you become Luna?” Dad asks when we make it to the bottom of the stairs near to the entry way. “I don’t think so, I’m ready to do this, I can feel how excited the pack is,” I can’t hide my wide smile. Ryder and I have become very involved and connected to the people in our pack, trying to repair the damage Lucas did. “Good, they are very excited and from everything I’ve heard they should be. You and Ryder have done an amazing job making changes here. The pack members are now equals, it was all achieved without starting trouble with the more affluent members and those who have been going without,” Dad nods in approval, opening the door for me. “Ryder has handled everything very diplomatically, and I’ve just done my best to support him,” I shrug, walking through the door and wait for my father to escort me to where they’ve set everything up for the ceremony. My father walks me through the town towards our picnic area, where I see my people gathered waiting
“We’re going to hunt for the feast, will you be ok with Raven?” Ryder links, rubbing his face across my belly.I notice Raven approach her mates, who are now shifted into a giant silver wolf and an even bigger black wolf, while Mummo and Vaari hold all three of our pups.“Of course, I’ll be ok, go bring home something yummy to feed our pack,” I run my fingers through Ryder’s thick silky fur and kiss the top of his head.“I will be back soon,” he reassures, before licking my cheek leading several men and women from the pack towards the forest for the hunt.“Go on, don’t show Ryder up,” Raven giggles, dismissing her giant mates who playfully nip at each other when they run past me.“Congratulations Pentu, you’re so beautiful and you’re going to be such a incredible Luna,” Vaari hugs me with Aiden in his arms.I can’t help blushing feeling so glad to make my Vaari proud.“Thank you Vaari, I’m glad to make all of you proud,” I hug him tight, and take a deep breath inhaling his comforting
“Embry,” I whine, rolling over on the lounge at the foot of the bed in our den, waking up to Gunnar crying.Last night was long and exhausting, the twins fought sleep again, missing Osric. He left three days ago, to deal with Alphas being a problem in Germany.“Raven he’s hungry,” Embry groans, reaching out for me then sitting up realizing I’m not in the bed.“Then grab him and Roan please, I’m so tired?” I beg, looking over at Embry who looks exhausted as well, yet still manages a kind smile.“I’ll bring you to them, Osric won’t be gone long,” Embry reassures, as he gets up out of bed and heads to the lounge.Bending down he scoops me up in his strong arms and places a sweet kiss on my forehead.“Thank you; I know he’ll be back soon, it’s just hard with them missing him already,” I admit, sitting up against the pillows that Embry places me down in front of. I’m sleep deprived as it has only been two weeks since having the twins, and now my mate is on the other side of the world.“Hey
Maturity Warning: Sex“Come here you,” Embry grunts, scooping me up taking me straight to our bed, making me giggle.“Embry!” I whine, with my arms around his shoulders. The feel of his lips grazing my chest ignites sparks wherever they touch as he kisses me, while holding my body firmly against his.“Hmmm… what to do with you now that you’re all mine?” Embry playfully teases, gently tossing me back onto the bed, then falling with his head positioned at my navel.“I don’t know,” I giggle, running my fingers through Embry’s unruly red hair. He pulls at my shirt exposing my navel and underwear, I can feel his laughter with the gentle rumble of his chest.I take a sharp intake of breath, feeling his warm lips press against the bottom of my ribs.“You’re so sexy,” Embry purrs, in the middle of ripping my underwear off and kissing my thigh, before licking the length of my pussy.I squeak at the sudden intrusion, which quickly turns into a mewl feeling my entire body erupt in blissful tingl
