At a small jewelry shop in London, England

Adam’s POV

“Hmmm.. Tricky, tricky.” I smiled as I turned the dial on the safe, listening for the telltale clicks of the mechanisms falling into place. “One more to go.” They had hidden this safe behind a picture in the main office like a villain from a movie would do, the cliche making me smile.

“Hurry, Adam. We have two more minutes before the cops arrive.” Dublin looked out the window, the sun on the horizon just barely touching the skyline now.

  • Rogues and Royals   Treasures and Testament Part 2 of 2 Finale

    Lucy’s POVSomeone shifted and drove a small van to the clearing for my mom and Grace, the small bundles they had cradled against them having fallen asleep at some point. Wolves milled about in different states of shock and aw as we eventually left the magical glade and headed back to the reception site. I noted vaguely that all the blood and markings were gone around and on the stones, the magic of Nix more than likely soaking it up.“This is…” Adam had been deep in thought, or even conversation, since Nix departed; Dragon having a lot to discuss with him.“A lot.” I smiled as I took his hand and continued to walk alongside him. “But you get used to it.” I had told him about Hestia before, and having a couple months to get used to her helped somewhat as well. “This is going to shake our kind more greatly than I anticipated.”“Yah.. But it will be a great advantage too. I’ve been thinking… When we tell the humans, I think it’s best if we don’t mention certain things about our kind. T

    Lucy’s POVNix glowed amongst us as she headed over to where Grace and my mother where laying, both of them panting and sobbing as they labored with the delivery. “I expected a celebration, but it seems I get to experience the birth of more of my children.” She practically floated along the ground as pale white flowers bloomed underfoot.She kneeled before them both and put a hand on each of their stomachs. Instantly, Grace and my mom sighed in relief as their bodies worked, grandma and aunt Jude working between their legs as females stripped out of their thin gowns and handed them over to use. Soon enough, the sound of two small screams could be heard crying out into the night, the twinkling lights now following the sweet sound of new life.“I bless you, children; for you will be the first of a new generation.” Nix reached out her hands for the tiny bundles as they were wrapped, placenta and all, into the white dresses. “Tell me, Melody and Grace; what are their names?”“Alexander.”

  • Rogues and Royals   Jewels and Juncture Part 3

    Adam’s POVI could smell her; the feint whiff of my mate tantalizing my sense of smell as my Lycan hunted for her. She was close, for that I was sure. “Here, pretty, pretty, treasure! Come out to play!” I called teasingly.I heard a rustle to my right as I saw a line figure take off from the opposite direction I was going to, my heart leaping as I caught sight of the beautiful nymph that was my mate and my wife take off from me and lead me on a chase. “You naughty, naughty, girl.” I growled in approval as her running sent a primal urge down my spine, my wolf like side taking over and giving chase. I had to catch her, missing was not an option.I could see it then- where she was leading me, back to the standing stones. I put on a burst of speed, needing to catch my prey before she entered the ring. She gave out a musical laugh as I drew closer, taunting me with a musical laugh. “Come and get me if you can, mate!” She called over her shoulder. I put on a final burst of speed then, grab

    Adam’s POVDancing; lots of dancing. I couldn’t get enough of holding my mate close to my body and swinging her to the music. She moved like a graceful tongue of flame in her stunning red dress, capturing everyone’s attention. She was mine, forever and always, and I couldn’t wait for this night to end so I could show her what that really meant to me.“Adam.. it’s about time.” Lucy smiled up at me, my eyes never leaving her body, no matter where she went during this reception.“Are we forgetting anything?” Of course we weren’t, Lucy is too thorough for that.She chuckled a little, then looked around slightly embarrassed. “To be honest; this is gonna be the first event like this in any modern pack, so I’m sure everyone is gonna feel awkward at first.”“All they have to do is focus on their mate, and I’m sure it will be fine.” I gave her hand a squeeze of reassurance as a bell sounded somewhere, everyone stopping the music and looking to us for guidance.“Cherished guests; the ceremony i

    Lucy’s POV“Hurry! Hurry!” My mom waddled in front of me as she lead the way, the car having stopped right in front of the quaint venue we had rented. Stonehenge itself could be seen way off in the distance, the ancient sight going to have more meaning for our race from tonight on.I gave myself one final glance over as the music started just outside a large white tent, my dad waiting for me with a large smile as everyone began to file in. “You look radiant my little princess.” He gave me a kiss on the nose, making me blush and pull him in for a hug.”“Thanks dad… He.. He’s in there, right?” I let my nerves show just a bit.“Of course. He’s more nervous than you I think.” He chuckled as he took my hand and threaded it around his arm. “But don’t worry. He’s a good wolf; Nix picked well for you. Just don’t leave him around anything sparkly and shiny.” He teased making me roll my eyes with a soft snort.“Duly noted.” The music tempo changed, signaling our time to start walking and making

    Lucy’s POVI hurried through my shower that I wished I could linger in, the hot spray feeling sinful as I washed off the grime of last night. When I got out, my mom was just about to knock on the door to drag me out. “Finally! Hurry, come and sit down so Heather and Jude can work on your hair and makeup!” She was in a flurry and I couldn’t blame her, especially since I needed to be at the ceremony spot in less than two hours and we had an hour drive ahead of us.I sighed as I tossed my towel to the side and slid into my undergarments, watching in the mirror as grandma and mom tugged over my dress as they pulled it from the bed. “I still think you should have gone with white.” Grandma grumbled as they began increasing it in places.“Red is the royal colors for here so I wanted to surprise Adam with it.” I shrugged a little. The dress was a full ballgown in ruby red, a corseted top with off shoulder straps that drooped dramatically, and gold beading I. Intricate designs. It was modeled
