Gideon turns and looks at me while he rubs the back of his neck. "OK, come on, girls," I say and pat the spot next to me.
I can see the happiness on Gideon's face than a flash of disappointment. The girls crawl in bed and wiggle under the covers. Rose is next to me, and she looks up and touches my chest right above my heart. "When you have our flowers, can we call you mommy?"
Tears start welling up, "Yes, you can call me mommy."
Daisy pops up, "When will you have our flowers?"
Gideon joins the conversation. "When do you want Amelie to have your flowers?"
Daisy stands up in the bed, and with all the determination her little body can muster, she yells, "Right now!"
I can't help but laugh. She's so fierce for a three-year-old. "OK, but you need to understand that there is going to be blood. So don't get scared." Gideon tells them.
"We're not s

Chapter 47: Don't Mess With the Luna Amelie "Owe!" I wake up with a tiny arm smacking me in the face. I turn, and Gideon is waking up with a foot in his face. "I think we are going to need a bigger bed," I whisper as I slowly get up. There is a slight panic in Gideon's expression, "They can't sleep with us every night." I smile and head to the bathroom to get ready for the day. It's my first unofficial day as Luna, and I have so much I need to prepare for the Luna ceremony and pack duties. I knew what kind of Luna I was going to be. My focus would be on improving the lives of my pack members. I had a lot to dig into to do that. I knew I was going to enhance pack meals first and do some minor redecorating in the packhouse to prep for the Ceremony. I needed a team, and I knew just where to find them. I quickly get dressed. It's starting to warm up a bit, it's still ch

Chapter 48: The Luna is Here to Stay Gideon I should have never let a Jericho into my pack. Any Alpha children who apply to join my pack I personal review and interview. I felt sorry for the young Jericho girl a few years back. Maybe I was blinded by the loss of Mandy. I remember my interview with Von. She said she was trying to escape her family reputation and wanted a fresh start. Her family does have a horrible reputation, and the Blue Crescent pack has the highest rate of deserters. I have taken in many who have left because of her father, Blake Jericho. Von came here shortly after her brother Nox became Alpha. From what she said, three years ago, he more or less pushed her out, scared that her mate might challenge him for the Alpha title. She was a pack warrior, so she decided to apply to the Druit Guard instead of going Rouge. Now I wonder if that was her intent. I have had many a she-wolf try and

Chapter 49: Girl Power Amelie "Ladies, as the ranked females of this pack, we will focus our attention on improving the lives of all pack members. We also need to refine our pack's reputation from militant enforcers to investigators and relief responders. Should others fear us? Yes, but they should also see us as hope." They all stare at me with wide eyes. During the month together at the Ashwood pack, I got to know Gideon and how the pack operates, and I outlined changes I felt needed to be made. Some would be quick and easy. Others would take years to develop fully. My ideas and solutions floored Gideon. He gave me free rein to use my authority to improve the pack. He said he knew I was always meant for him to make the pack stronger than he could ever on his own. He permitted me to use whatever resources I needed. So am taking the ranked females under my wing. Shay the Beta, Jorden the Gamma, and Becky

Chapter 50: Pack Party Amelie The next thing I knew, Gideon stood and pulled everyone's attention to him. "Druit Guard! Our Luna has given us another blessing. Shay Marshall, Jorden Rodriguez, and Becky Sanders, please stand." All three ladies stand proudly. "I know you all felt these powerful ladies' aurae as soon as they walked into the room. There is a reason for that. They are now officially the same rank as their mates. They Serve the Luna as her eyes, ears, and hands as the Beta, Gamma, and Delta females of our pack. Their strength and power have increased. They have also been blessed with the upgraded pack mark of the Luna. Our pack is stronger with them. Tonight, we will throw a feast in these she-wolves' honor and the blessing from the moon goddess." He ends it with a roar, and the hall erupts in howls of approval. The look on the faces of Tyson, Marcus, and Benjamin was priceless. We finished lunch, headed ba

Chapter 51 Amelie "Mommy, wake up everyone is coming today." A tiny hand caresses my face. As I open my eyes, I see Rose sitting on the bed next to me. "Good morning, Rosie sweetheart." I pull her into a hug. I look around to see where Daisy is, and to my amusement, I see her jump in the air and land square on Gideon's chest. Not only waking him up but also knocking the wind out of him a little. I hold back my laughter as Gideon turns and looks to me for help. "Daisy, honey, you can't do that to daddy. You might hurt him." Daisy stands on the bed with her arms curled in the air like a bodybuilder and growls, "Nothing can hurt, daddy. He's the toughest wolf in the world." Gideon grabs her and tickles her, and she squeals. "That's right; your daddy's the toughest daddy in the world. Don't forget it." He lets up only for a second before tickling her again. "OK, girls, sit on the bed and be good while mommy and daddy

Chapter 52 Amelie "I know. I am just excited. This will be the first time they will meet the girls, see the Packhouse and see me as a Luna." I squeeze his hand. "You are a perfect Luna! It's like you were born to be one!" he winks at me. We both laugh together. "Well, my lookouts tell me that the first of our guests are arriving soon." Gideon has strategically asked certain Alphas to come early today to discuss ongoing investigations and other inter-pack business. Since my family will stay a few extra days, they didn't come early but will handle pack business in the next few days. "OK, I'm going to take the girls and head over to the main packhouse first and check on the staff." I take a few more bites of food before grabbing the girls and heading to the main Packhouse. Shay and Easton join us as Jorden takes Ryan to check on the ceremony preparations outside. It's now early spring, so that the evening will be perfect for an out

Chapter 53 Amelie Gideon and I brought the girls into our room while we got ready. I had decided on one shoulder fitted cocktail dress that hit mid-thigh in navy blue—paired with gold strappy sandal pumps, gold and lace agate earrings I made. I picked out a navy-blue button-up for Gideon and grey slacks and tan loafers. I top him off with a vest that matched his slacks, and of course, he rolled up his sleeves and left the top two buttons of his shirt undone. I knew the girls would want to match us even if they were not going to the cocktail party after dinner, so I already had a navy-blue dress ready for them. They were fluffy and frilly and also had a little glitter in the fabric. They looked like the night sky. Once they were in their fancy dress, they just kept twirling till they fell down. I put Celeste's training into action. These looked like ordinary evening clothes, but I knew better it was battel armor. We were going to be starti

Chapter 54AmelieWhen I came back, the servers passed out champion and sparkling cider, prepping for Gideon's toast. I make my way to Gideon's side. A server came past and brought me some sparkling cider and Gideon champion. The room dimes a bit more, and there is a spotlight on Gideon and me."I would like to thank you all for coming and helping us celebrate this momentous occasion. I was lucky enough to be blessed by the goddess in many ways, but the biggest blessing has come in the form of my second-chance-mate, Amelie Ashwood. As all of you know, she is the eldest daughter of the Ashwood Pack and the Black Hills Pack and sister of the Hill Country Pack. The greatest blessing of all is our soon-to-be explaining family. Please raise your glasses in a toast to my Luna, mate, and mother of my children." Everyone claps and cheers while toasting.Gideon and I raise our glasses to each other and take a drink. As soon as I smell the cider, I pu
