Well, the broken mate bond is still impacting Kieran and Samson, but Reagan and Alayla are doing a good job of helping him stay calm.
KieranMy mate made a point of showing me just how happy she was with me last night. After so long of desperately waiting for and wanting my mate, being blessed with a strong, Alpha female, a Guardian no less, is something I never would have imagined. And as much as Samson, the pack, and I suffered while waiting and nearly going feral, Reagan makes every moment of the struggle we went through worthwhile. And holy mother Moon Goddess does my mate have stamina. It makes me want to make that woman happy every minute of every day for the rest of our lives.This morning, I pulled Prince Asmodeus aside. I asked him if he and Meadow would be willing to take Tessa away from the pack while we held the trial. While Tessa will officially become our daughter, she was still born an omega, and she is still a young teenager. She does not need to be exposed to the violence that is about to occur.But beyond that, I’ve been thinking about what Alpha Rik and I talked about on the way to the airport and
ReaganI’m pretty sure the woman at the dress shop has never felt quite so overwhelmed. Of course, everyone wants a new dress for my Luna ceremony and my family isn’t shy about shopping. It’s a relatively small shop with only the store owner and one assistant, and my family is already running them ragged.Kieran gave me the name and address of this shop, saying that it was run by a nearby pack. They, like Kieran and his pack, have never seen a group like ours apparently.“So, who is the new Luna?” the shop owner, Melanie, asks.“That’s me. I’m Reagan,” I tell her.“And you’re mated to Alpha Kieran, Luna? We heard he was going feral,” she says.“He was. But he’s fine now that he and Samson have found Alayla and I,” I tell her.“And all of you are Lunas?” she asks, looking around."I'm not," Madelyn says.“And we’re not. We’re just witches,” Maeve says, pointing between her and Meadow. “Well, I guess you’re Princess Witch now,” she says, smiling at her sister.“Princess?” the other woman
KieranEvery day it’s something new in this pack. Today, before we go get the last of Reagan’s family from the airport, Asmodeus and Meadow walk downstairs hand in hand, with Meadow wearing a new mate mark.Almost as one, Reagan and her family lift their heads and howl their happiness for Meadow. It doesn’t take long before our entire pack realizes what has happened and is howling along with them.My head feels like it’s spinning with the speed of everything that’s happening. Thankfully, my mate’s happiness is the grounding force that makes all of this worthwhile.Today, I’m going to pick up the last group of people with Alpha Rik, Alpha Liam, and Alpha Eli. The women are all taking my mate dress shopping and apparently the sprites are excited to be able to do hair and make up for all of the Guardians.Since we still need two vans to collect the newest arrivals, Alpha Rik rides with me.“How are you holding up, Alpha Kieran?” he asks, giving me a knowing look.“It’s a lot. Don’t get me
MeadowIt feels so good to be with Maeve again. Our life has been a rocky road, but my sister did everything in her power to keep us together after our parents were murdered. She became a surrogate parent for Tate and I, keeping us safe, even when her own life was at risk. So, having her here, feels like I have my mother here with me.“Tell me about your handsome vampire,” she says as we work together to make large strands of witchy lights to the delight of the sprites that are chattering excitedly all around us.“He is handsome, isn’t he?” I ask, looking over to where Asmodeus is sitting with Xander, Drake, and several warriors that they sparred with this evening. I’m not sure if he heard me or if feels my gaze on him, but he turns and gives me a smoldering look that sends heat straight to my core and makes every bite mark he’s left on my body light up as if his mouth is on me. Based on his smirk, he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing to me.“Personally, I prefer tall, blond, and growly, b
ReaganIf my mate’s energy in bed is any indication, he is desperate to put a pup in me. I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t for my family being here, he’d be pulling me into pantries, offices, and anywhere else there was an empty room to have his way with me. Not that I’m complaining. I’m loving every minute of my mate not being able to get enough of me. And as the rest of my family arrives, I’ve watched him embrace the chaos.Aunt Grace, Uncle Eli, Aunt Cara, and Uncle Rik, as well as Riley, Clint and their two pups, and Cayden, Madelyn, and their six pups arrived the day after my parents. The rest will arrive tomorrow. Aunt Grace breezed into our packhouse like she always does, with grace and a powerful presence that isn’t to be ignored. You’d think that it would be intimidating for the omegas in particular, but she somehow turns that power into a loving aura that she wraps around the omegas in any packhouse, making them feel safe and loved. I’m pretty sure my pack is already trying to fin
KieranI like sparring. It feels good to be able to release some of the pent of energy that you have when you’re an Alpha. However, I’m always careful. Until I met Reagan, I was the strongest member of my pack. That’s how it’s supposed to be, of course. But it also means that I can never go balls to the wall when I spar with my pack members.I got a taste of what that would be like when I sparred with Reagan, but I was still careful not to hurt my mate. I got an even better taste once we mated and I could fight against Asmodeus. But as a vampire, his strengths are very different from mine. That’s good, it makes me a better fighter, but sometimes, you just really want to punch someone full on and take a punch that actually makes you rethink your fighting strategy.I have the distinct feeling, based on the excitement that I’m getting from Reagan’s family, the men and the women, that I’m about to finally be able to test my true fighting skills.The groups begin pairing off when my mate, b
