LOGINJake’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
Lilyanna’s POVThe moment that both Jake and Aaron left the dungeon did a part of me panic. The need to survive far greater than my need to kill Tori within that moment. My eyes scanning the cell.Shit. Shit. Shit.My heart racing within my chest. Willow still silent like usual. The guard from before now back to standing over my cell the minute Jake leaves my presence. My temper soon flaring within me as I attempt to reach my wolf.‘Willow?’Silence. Complete and utter silence.‘You useless wolf. I thought you hated Tori as much as I did. Why the sudden change?’‘That was before he became Luna of the Eclipse Born Kin. I choose life over death any day.’‘Says the wolf whose always been on my side. Even during our rebirths you were the one who stood by me and now you want to abandon me.’‘That was then. This is now. And if I had my way, I would have asked the Moon Goddess for a new human compared to you. But unfortunately I can’t, now can I?’‘Why you no good wolf…’My thoughts suddenly
Tori’s POVBy the Goddess… I groan silently to myself. A part of me knowing that what I was doing was wrong, yet another part of me didn’t know what else to do.My body clearly aware that Alex needed a distraction as well as I, made wanting sex a much better choice. My body quick to straddle his la
Tori’s POVWhen seeing Alex standing in the middle of my door do Aven and I move to share a look. Having been talking about prophecies and that of the Rogue King that I wasn’t sure what Alex had all heard from us.But judging by the look upon his face I knew he must have heard everything including
Tori’s POVIt slowly feels like an eternity when I finally tell Aven all about my dreams. About how I’m always standing alone within a huge field only to see Wolves and Lycan alike begin filling the field on both sides.How the scent of rotten eggs and torn flesh always fill my sense of smell. Or h
Tori’s POV“Oh, Prince Aven…. What a nice surprise.”“Aven. How many times must I tell you. Call me Aven.”“Sorry. Force of habit.”“I bet. So… is everything okay?”Suddenly shocked by the question and Aven’s concern do I move to dodge the question in general. “Yeah. Totally fine. Why do you ask?”
