LOGINTori’s POVThe moment Lilyanna is mention does the entire room go silent. The once happy moment now filled with dread and interpretation. Jake’s focus now on Delta Leo.Alex’s father the one person to bring up her name. Alex tense when he does.“Dad… Really?”Delta Leo soon watching his son. “No son. This isn’t something you can just sweep under a rug and forget about it. Your mate’s pregnant. Do you not care what happens to him or your pups?”Upon hearing that does Alex instantly stand up. His hands hitting the table. His voice loud for all to hear. Thankfully though the room is soundproof. Not needing others to hear what was being said in that exact moment.“WE DO CARE FATHER! BUT DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO ASK ABOUT HER NOW? TO ASK JUST MINUTES AFTER JAKE SPILLED THE BEANS ABOUT OUR BABIES AND THE GENDER? WAS IT REALLY WORTH IT”Alex’s mom the next one to speak.“We’re sorry son. But your father didn’t mean to sour the mood. He just wanted to know. That’s all.”“WHY?”“Because Lilyanna
Jake’s POVThe moment Tori had told us about the gender of our pups and revealing the sonogram of the ultrasound with everyone present did each of us want to spoil our mate.To shower him in nothing but love and affection.Yet, instead of keeping Tori all to ourselves did each of us decide it would be better if we hosted a special dinner. One that would include my parents, Zak’s parents, Alex’s parents and of course Tori’s father.Aaron’s family all gone thanks to that of the Rogue King along with Tori’s mother. Both here only in spirit including the Moon Goddess herself. The same Goddess who gave us our sweet little Tori.Alex currently talking to those within the kitchen all while explaining to them that tonight’s dinner would be family only and to prepare a special meal for the dining room. A dining room we only ever used for such special occasions.Tori currently with Zak while Aaron and I both finished with last minute things. Vox dancing within me at knowing as well.‘Mate gives
Aaron’s POV“Still no word on Lilyanna?” asks Zak. Zak’s voice more neutral. The past few days gone in a blur as Jake, Zak, Alex and I worked endlessly on finding Lilyanna only to come up short.None of us sure how she managed o escape in the first place. The cells all secured or at least should have been.Jake’s voice soon rising. His voice tired. The four of us tired and extremely exhausted. Neither of us able to chill or relax. Not when Lily roamed freely to do as she pleased.“No. Unfortunately not.”“Maybe it’s time we finally stopped looking then. I mean let’s face it. She’s clearly not here and clearly not coming back” replies Alex.My eyes quick to glance to the man who stood against the wall. Alex currently propped against the far side of Jake’s Office with his arms folded. Jake currently at his desk while Zak sat next to me along the couch.The four of us together. Always together, while a twinge of guilt sat silently within me. Tori, are sweet and wonderful mate currently n
Aven’s POVWhen listening to Dr. Raina talk to Tori about his pups and what to expect going forward did a piece of me wonder about Luke. My Luke.My beloved Alpha and Mate.Luke also a victim in all of this pain. All of this suffering. The Elders taking Luke at his weakest. The Rogue King having slaughtered his entire pack in the blink of an eye that it weakened him greatly. Each link, each bond, gone.The bonds that once tied his entire pack to him slowly became his downfall. The Elders arriving just at the right time only for Kian to deliver Luke as a present.Luke to weak to fight while my love for him held strong. The two of us one. Yet when it came down to saving him I couldn’t. And when backed into a corner I was forced to submit. Submit or watch Luke die.A feeling of helplessness always there. Like a weight that couldn’t be moved. My thoughts one jumbled mess that I fail to notice when Dr. Raina leaves and its just Tori and I once more. Tori’s concern focus now on me.“Aven, a
Tori’s POV“You know you don’t have to come with me right? I’m perfectly able in doing it alone.”“Sure, and I’m the Queen of England. Look, don’t take this the wrong way but your mates are all super busy right now. At least let me tag along with you please?”Pausing within my tracks do I take this time to truly study Aven. Prince Aven by birth yet refused to use the word Prince. Aven claiming that since his home was destroyed by Kian, the Rogue King, during his lust for power that Aven was no longer a Prince.Aven’s home and family completely gone. While the once proud realm of the Midnight Throne was reduced to cinder and ash.My heart breaking for Aven.A sigh soon rising before moving to lock arms with Aven instead. Aven and I each forming a bond that couldn’t be broken. A bond built on friendship and trust.A trust that didn’t come easily. A trust I worked hard to obtain. A trust that needed to be earned because of the Elders. The Elders still holding Luke within their grasp. The
Tori’s POV~ A Few Days Later ~It’s been about four days since the incident. Since Lilyanna had tried to kill me in front of everyone within the pack and since then nobody has seen her.At least, not since the day Jake and Aaron had visited her that day in the cell. A guard having gone to check in with the one standing guard only to find him unconscious and Lily gone. Her cell completely empty.The guard in question found slumped against the wall. Out like a light. Completely still. Thankfully he wasn’t found dead, but it was enough to make the pack frantic. Everyone curious as to who could have done it. Jake, Zak, Aaron and Alex all working effortlessly in trying to learn more.Sighing, I gently lay my hand along my swollen belly. The end of 3 weeks drawing close. And while next week would finally start the week of week 4 and the excitement to knowing the gender of my pups. A part of me was still missing my mom.“Mom… I miss you.”My pups silently bumping my hand. A watery smile soo
Zak’s POV“It would appear so. A theory I fully plan to explore here since Tori clearly wants both you and I to fuck him senseless, even though I can clearly smell Alex all over his body. Isn’t that right little mate?”Tori just whimpering again, which earns him a growl from Jake. Ash and I clearly
Tori’s POVWhen heading for Jake’s Office I couldn’t help but feel instantly nervous. Rune trying to calm me even as we continued to make our way there.‘Why are you nervous? He’s our mate. As is Zak, Alex and Aaron.’‘I know that, but… I feel like I’m breaking curfew in order to see him.’‘Oh geez
Jake’s POV~ Jake’s Personal Office ~“Ugh… Why’s it so hard?” I groan out slowly. Currently sitting within my office, an office that would officially be mine once my father gave me the green light. A task that suddenly felt daunting.‘Relax, it’s not the end of the world you know’ replies Vox sudd
Tyson’s POV“Say it Tyson. Say yes to being my Queen. Say yes to being mine. To being ours once and for all and I promise you’ll never be alone again.”My mind suddenly at war with my heart as I move to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. “YES! Oh Gods yes. Of course I’ll be yours, all of
