IVY POV I was sitting in my bedroom reading a book when I started feeling this slight pain in my stomach. It was a little uncomfortable but I could handle it. I waited for a few minutes when another pain hit, only a lot worse causing me to actually grab my stomach. " Oh shit. Not now." I say. I knew that I was going into labour. I sat up straight on the bed and I pulled my legs over the side and I tried to breathe through the pain. I knew that this wasn't going to be good. I was scared. I didn't know what was going to happen. I got another really sharp pain that made me crimple forward grabbing my stomach and I couldn't help the whimper come out of my mouth. But just then I saw a sparkling light outside my window. It was up near the sky so I slowly stood up and I tried to get to the window to look at it. I saw holes being punched through the shield around the property and I knew that help was on it's way. But I got another contraction and I fell to the floor and screamed out in
ASHER POV The four of us charged at Wyatt but he stood on his hind legs which made him look at least 8 feet tall and he swiped his paw and knocked Beau to the side hitting the house and swiped his other paw and hitting Axel against a tree in the woods. And it was just me and Cole. Cole and I still ran up and I leapt off the ground to attack him when his paw wrapped around my neck and I was dangling in the air as his grip was getting tighter. Cole grabbed on to his other hand with his jaw and Wyatt tried to shake him off but it didn't work. Cole wasn't letting go. But Wyatt also wasn't letting go of me. I heard Cole call for help in the mindlink and wolves that were around the back of the house started running around to the front of the house. Wyatt managed to shake Cole off and grabbed him by the leg and fling him across the yard while another warrior jumped up but was thrown off of Wyatt like he was nothing. Another one jumped up and latched onto Wyatt's shoulder. The same one
IVY POV Walking out the front of the house I thought I looked a mess because I hadn't changed my clothes but then I saw everyone outside and I had nothing to worry about. Asher and I walked outside holding a baby each and we saw the remaining warriors look on happily at us with the newest members of the Alpha family. And that I was alright. I looked down and I sat Wyatt, the huge uglty bear lying lifeless on the ground with his heart beside his head. " You two go ahead in the car. We'll fix everything up here." Cole says. So Asher led me over to the car and Axel drove while Fiona was in the passanger seat and Asher and I were sitting in the back seat with the babies. I moved right over to the middle of the seat and I rested against Asher. The warmth of his body, the feel of his muscles, everything I have been craving for months. He was holding one baby in one hand but had his other arm around me. Hold me as tight as possible towards him. His emotions seeping into me like ther
The twins and I were released from hospital a week later and it was so good to finally be home. And the staff was all there to greet us and welcome us home. But I saw them all giving Asher sideways glances while he was holding one of the baby capsules. " Listen, I owe everyone here an apology. I know that I wasn't myself while Luna Ivy was gone. And I am really sorry about that. I swear I will do whatever it takes to make it up to you. You don't need to be scared of me anymore. She's home now and I am complete with my girls' home." Asher announced to the staff. And I could tell how genuine he was and so could they. A lot of them physically relaxed afterwards. " It is so good to be home and to see you all again." I say to everyone. " Come on. You need to see the girls' room. We've been busy working on it while you've been in hospital." Asher says. So we walked up to the third floor and the room next to Connor's room was done up completely in pink with two cots and two more of ev
" I am over here." I ordered gaining her attention. " Yes. I can see that. You are looking well. Better than the last time I saw you." She says. " Yeah. I'm not writhing in pain this time. But that's not why we're here. It's to discuss that obviously rediculous plan to take Axel in place of removing that shield from the house." I say. " It wasn't reculous. It's what I wanted. And you made damn sure to stall those plans. My elders have told me that your mate customs don't apply to us so that's why I decided to come here. I'm taking him with me." She says. " No. You're not. And our mate customs apply to everyone. If you try to take a wolf from it's mate then all hell will rain down on you and whatever coven you belong to. And if you know anything about me, you know that I will find out whatever that coven is." I say. " We know exactly who you are. But we had a deal and no one breaks a deal with a witch." She says. And then I heard some noise outside. And the witch and I were st
When we got back to the packhouse Zara had put Connor down for a nap and the twins were sleeping as well. They were actually pretty good sleepers for newborns. At least, during the day they were. I headed up to the bedroom and I flopped down on the mattress and I got comfortable trying to get some rest before the kids woke up again but then Asher came in and laid on the bed next to me. " Stop staring at me." I say through closed eye lids. " How did you know that I was staring?" He asked. " Because I am psychic." I say sarcastically. And then I felt his lips run along my forehead and he started trailing kisses down the side of my face. He got all the way to my neck and he kissed my mark which enticed a little moan out of me. " Stop that. I want to get some rest." I say. " Me too. But I've been waiting for this alone time for weeks." He says leaning closer to me and trailing kisses along my jawline until he reached my mouth. He rolled me on my back and he was half lying on
When we got back to the pack we got out of the car and I looked around at the territory and Asher asked me if I was alright. " I don't know. It doesn't feel right." I say. And he walked right up behind me. The wind was starting to pick up and we saw some dark clouds coming across the sky like a storm was coming. " That came over really quickly." Cole says. " A little too quick. Get Axel and Fiona here now. Beau and Freya too." I say. So Cole mind linked them all to come to the packhouse immediately. " What do you think it is?" Asher asked. " I think the witch has gone back on her word." I say. " Are you serious?" He asked. " Unfortunately." I say. " When is this crap ever going to stop?" He asked. " I don't know. But I'm sure we're going to find out. Let's get inside." I say. " I'll mind link everyone to bunker down in their houses until the storm passes. But that's all I'm telling them. There's a bad storm coming." Asher says. " Good. Don't tell them anything
ONE LAST BATTLE I felt the ground beneath my paws and it felt incredible. This is the first time I have shifted since before I got pregnant. It was more painful than I was used to but I did it with ease. I didn't want the warriors to have any doubts in me. If they thought that I had trouble shifting then they might have thought that I wasn't up for the battle. I needed to be a leader. No matter how much anything hurt. And it really did hurt. 'Are you alright?' Asher asked. 'Yeah. A little breathless. But the pain will stop in a moment.' I replied. Asher waited a few moments before I looked up at the sky and I recognised the surroundings, the feeling of the earth, the feeling of the moon approaching the sky and I let out a howl indicating that the time was now. Asher and I started running straight off into the woods and all warriors followed us. Spreading out in formation like they were taught. We had back up warriors but they were a little far away if we needed them immediate
