Well, this was supposed to be the last of the regular chapters, BUT, I didn't get to the ceremony, Mody is being a little b***h in my head wanting to have his say and I forgot about the trip to Araphyra, so, two more regular chapters before the epilogues.
ReaganAfter spending a few days with Meady and Mody, we returned to our packhouse to find out that Petal was pregnant. That announcement was very exciting for the pack, but no more exciting than finding out that Silas found his mate and that she’s a royal vampire.Maeve and Meadow made her an amulet so she can walk in the sun and she very quickly took her place beside Silas as one of our strongest warriors. Having her here has been really good for the pack as she’s been teaching them about vampires in general, the good and the bad.While Ysabelle is teaching the pack about vampires, Petal and Mango have been teaching them about sprites. We’ve had two more sprite pairings in the last couple of months because our warriors couldn’t keep their wolves from licking the sprites. It’s worked out though. Sometimes, the harshest warriors need the gentlest mates to balance out their nature.About a week after we got back from the coven, we found out that we are having a boy. I thought Kieran wa
AsmodeusI hadn’t expected my sister to be mated to a werewolf, much less one I’ve spent several weeks with. But it does explain why she was so interested in the way I smelled when I returned home a few days ago.Ysabelle whisked Gamma Silas away, while Alpha Kieran stood by, staring as if the hinge in his jaw was broken.“Are you trying to catch flies, Alpha?” I ask him.“What?” he asks, frowning.“I think he’s telling you to lift your chin off the ground, my love,” Luna Reagan says.“Exactly. Come in, welcome to my home,” I say, looking at my gorgeous mate, the woman who will take her place at my side tomorrow.My coven, already overwhelmed with having one Guardian on the premises, were completely beside themselves having four more join Queen Leana. I had already warned all of them that if they so much as breathed out of line, I’d kill them. I will not risk offending my mate or the Guardians.“These are your future Queen’s friends. Disrespecting them means you disrespect her. Disres
ReaganThe day after my Luna ceremony, our guests started leaving. Cayd, Madelyn, and their pups returned home first. With Xander and Maeve staying to visit Mody’s coven, someone needed to go home to run the business.The day after that, Rich, Emlyn, Cohen, Malin, Emerson, Quinn and all their pups returned home with promises that we’d come visit after the baby is born. That same day, Mody and Meady along with Xander, Maeve, Leana, Drake, Tate, and Daphne all left to go to Mody’s coven.The last to leave were Clint, Riley, Aolis, and Lily. King Aolis wanted to spend a couple of days with his sprites and he also encouraged some other woodland creatures to present themselves to us, including some dryads and even a couple of leprechauns. After talking with them and Kieran, we agreed to hire them as our pack’s Techrechauns, just like they have in Araphyra. Lily and Aolis also made us promise to come visit and they insisted that we didn’t need to wait until our baby was born because Araphyr
KieranI’ve had knots in my stomach all day. I know I shouldn’t, but it’s finally happening. My mate is finally becoming my Luna. I know that her accepting and marking me meant that she would never leave me, but this is one of the last ways that she will bind herself to me and this pack. This and getting pregnant with my pup, which I’m working harder on than just about anything I’ve worked on in my life.Samson snorts in my head. ‘Yeah, you didn’t even work this hard to keep me from going feral.’‘That is not true. This is just a lot more fun than trying to keep you from going feral,” I say, thinking about last night when I made my mate come so hard she couldn’t hold back her cries of pleasure, even knowing her family was all around us. If I have to hear her family going at it like fucking rabbits, they can bloody well hear my mate screaming her pleasure.And it’s not just her family, it’s all the Guardians, their mates, and now even Meadow and Asmodeus. I haven’t been able to walk in
ReaganI’m so excited! Today is the day of my Luna Ceremony and the day that our pack starts fresh. We have so much to celebrate and on a hunch, I asked my mother to join me for a ‘walk’. When we got to the pack hospital, I took the test and excitedly shared the news with my mother before swearing the doctor to secrecy.“So, you’re adopting a daughter and you’re pregnant with Kieran’s child. How do you feel about having a family so soon after marking and mating,” she says.I find a place away from the packhouse where my mother and I can sit and talk. While I’ve always said that I am my father’s daughter, and in a lot of ways, I am, I am also my mother’s daughter. I may not be like my sisters; I may be more savage than any of my siblings other than Rich. But I am a Guardian, and I have always accepted the responsibility that comes with that. Somewhere inside me, the gentleness and kindness of my mother has resided. Now, I realize that the desire to give my mate a packhouse full of pups
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
