Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - Freya

I stand in the clearing in front of an altar to Hecate that we have set up in our backyard.  We share part of our land with my parents, meaning that it backs up to the woods and is near a stream, making it peaceful and close to nature.

            Behind us, the backyard is packed.  My parents and three siblings, his parents and three siblings.  And that’s just our families.  There’s many of the other trios with their families.  The Elite.  Members of my coven.  Selene and Thor.  Hecate of course and her group of men.

            It’s fucking insane just for a pregnancy blessing.

            But even though it’s been a year after the show down in the Underworld, we all are finding everything that we can do to celebrate.  It just brought home the fact that you never know what day is going to be your last.  Spend it how you want to gain happiness and love.

            So that’s what we’re doing, getting a blessing for Nathan and my baby.  The baby that we were specifically brought together to have.

            I’ve never felt this happy in my life.  Nathan is amazing.  We’ve had the happiest year of my life.  He’s so fucking amazing.  Our life has been great.  And now we’re bringing a new life into the world.

            We hadn’t really meant for this ceremony to be this big of a deal.  I mean, it usually is just the witch that is doing the ceremony and the parents.  But my Mom and Dad insisted on being here.  And then Slade and Naomi had to be here as well.  And then Amethyst and Grey found out and insisted that it become a big party and here we are.

            Hecate smiles broadly as she moves to the cauldron that is placed on the altar.  This is a representation of my womb.  The womb that is holding my six week old fetus.  The second that she walks up to the altar, the entire clearing quiets and Nathan and I move to stand in front of the altar. 

            She is in her Mother form, her stomach heavy with child.  It makes sense for the purpose of today’s ceremony.  Though, I’ve seen her mostly in this form the last several times I’ve seen her.  It’ makes me wonder if there is something that she needs to tell us.

            For now, though, I can only focus on my handfasted and my child.

            Hecate fills the bowl with clear spring water from the Astral Plane before pouring in frankincense into the bowl, the oil used for protection of the baby inside of me. 

            ā€œWe are all gathered here today because of the amazing life that we will be welcoming into the world.  The child of Nathan and Freya.ā€

            There is loud clapping and whooping from all of those around us.  I try to wave it off, but Nathan just pulls me into him.  He tilts my chin up and kisses me.  Long and slow and sweet.  Right there in front of multiple gods and a friends and family and everything.

            Normally, this would embarrass the hell out of me.  But right now?  Right now I can’t hold down my happiness for anything.  I love this male.  And I want the world to know.

            Hecate holds her hands up as we break away from each other.

            ā€œAlright, alright.  Let us prepare the cauldron for the blessing,ā€ she calls to everyone.  The crowd quiets down and Hecate continues.  ā€œI call upon the elements, air, earth, fire, and water, to protect this child and nurture it within Freya’s womb until it is born.ā€

            Baldur steps forward with a long white feather.  It’s from the wing of a snowy white owl, a representation of both Hecate and Selene.  It also represents the element of air.  Hecate takes the feather from her lover and puts it in the bowl.  ā€œThe element of air represents communication, intelligence, deep thought, and new ideas.  Through this element, may your child create and develop new ideas and solutions to problems, but also the ability to communicate and listen to others to incorporate their wisdom and experience into their creations.ā€

            Next, Vidar steps forward with a stone, which he hands to Hecate.  It’s a stone from the beach where Nathan and I spent our honeymoon in California.  It represents the element of earth.  Hecate places the stone in the bowl.  ā€œThe element of earth represents stability.  Focus in life.  Balance in family.  Steadfastness in love.  May your child learn to find strength in those around them and learn from the love of those that love them.ā€

            Loki steps forward with a small bowl of ash to represent the element of fire.  Again, Hecate puts it in the water, change the color.  Fitting, given what it represents.  ā€œThe element of fire represents transformation and change.  When controlled, this element provides safety, light and warmth.  But when uncontrolled, it can lead to the destruction of precious things.  May this element teach your child balance and control, as well as an understanding that sometimes everything must burn to the ground for change and transformation to occur.ā€

            Next, Nathan hands a seashell to Hecate, for the element of water.  It’s a shell from the beach in the southern part of the territory.  A place that Nathan and I love to spend long weekends away.  ā€œFinally, the element of water to teach wisdom, flexibility, and softness.  To aid your child in learning that sometimes kindness and bending to others is a show of strength more devastating than the strongest person in the world.ā€

            Next, I step forward with my symbols.  First is the tightly closed bud of a rose, a representation of possibility.  Then a peace lily to represent physical and mental health.  Finally, a safety pin.  It represents safety from harm, but also the ability to advocate for your needs to be meant.  I don’t want my child to be a push over.

            Hecate explains each of these objects to those that are gathered in the clearing and what they represent.

            The last thing to be added to the cauldron comes from Hecate.  It is a seed for a moon lily.  ā€œThis seed represents the child that we are here to bless and protect throughout Freya’s pregnancy.ā€

            Hecate waves her hand towards me and I come forward to cup the edges of the cauldron in my hands and Nathan moves behind me, his hands moving onto my hips. 

            ā€œMay no harm come to child or mother.  Let this be a time of magick and wonder.  Children, you have asked this of me.  I have heard your plea and so mote it be.ā€

            Magick courses through the air and settles in the cauldron that I am holding.  Hecate reaches in and plucks out the seed out of the cauldron and Nathan takes it from her.  He walks over to a spot that both Hecate and Selene had blessed earlier.  In fact, not only was it blessed by the two goddesses, but also by Thor, Baldur, Vadir, Loki, and even Hermes.  With that many gods blessing the seed that represented our child, how could their child not be safe and protected within her womb.

            Nathan buries the seed within the plot of soil that was prepared.  Once he steps back, I cause a vapor cloud of water to appear above the seed and water it.  Nathan than sends his power to cause the seed to start to grow.  He stops the second that a small green shoot pokes out of the soil.  It has taken root and will now grow at the same rate as our child.

            Hecate turns to look back at the gathered crowd of wolves, witches, and a select few other supernaturals.  ā€œYou are all here to show your love and support of this child and their family.  You have offered love, stability, and kindness.  Continue to show that as the child grows and I can guarantee your blessing will come back ten fold.

            ā€œThe circle is open to all, but not broken.  May peace stay in your heart and flow through your soul.  Merry meet, and merry part, and merry meet again!ā€

            Cheers, howls, and claps flow through the clearing at the closing of the ceremony.

            Nathan, still on his knees beside the just sprouting flower, grabs my wrist and pulls me to him.  His smile is wide and full of joy.  Looking into my eye, he presses a kiss to my nearly flat stomach. 

Because we’re wolves, my pregnancy will be quicker than a typical human’s, lasting only five months.  So, even though I’m only six weeks along, my stomach is starting to round with the child that I’m growing within.  You can only see it when I’m naked, but it was something that greatly excited Nathan when he discovered it two mornings ago.

Nathan whispers something to my stomach, though even with my advanced wolf hearing, I can’t tell what he’s said because of the loud clamor around us.  But by the light shining in his eyes, it’s probably along the lines of how much he loves our child.  How he can’t wait to meet them.

I surrender myself to the wave of love that flows through me as Nathan stands and we turn to start the party with our friends and family.

Your books are amazing. I can’t wait for Make believe in December 2024! I am hooked on all 4 of the books … Trios! I am ready to be trapped and invested in the characters. Some of the other book’s characters need explaining of what happened to them. Ohh goodness I am on pins and needles.

Chapter 2 - Caleb
Two days later… I stand in line with the other graduates from the college of Health and Human Development at Arcadia University. My gown feels like a furnace trapping the heat inside and I almost wish that I had taken Finnegan and Ethan’s dare to just go buck ass naked underneath. I could change into my wolf and run home to change before my father would ever see me. Of course, he’d still know. He always knows somehow. I think it has to do with some of the gifts that he gleaned from his mating with my mother and from being an oracle himself. Mom…I wish she was here. Sometimes I can see her when I astral project onto Hecate’s plane, but I wish that she could see me graduate from the career that she encouraged me to do. Her death during the fight with Fenrir outside the gates of Valhalla nearly destroyed our father. When a wolf loses his mate, a piece of his soul dies. Some less powerful wolves will die with their mates, t

Chapter 4 - Meredith
I’m seated at a spot on the patio at one of the local brunch places. It’s meant for families, a play area with soft turf and a smaller area for babies outside next to the patio. I got here for our reservation early after walking here. Selene had things that she wanted to talk about and I often find it easier to move during those conversations in my head. Might as well do something productive. Julie, the owner, comes over to the table. ā€œHey, Meredith!ā€ ā€œHi, Julie. How are you? How are the pups? And Joe?ā€ I ask her. Julie has become a good friend and Gael, Hakeem, and I had helped her with the capital to get this place off the ground. Because of that, we are the only people that actually get a reservation here. She says that if you really want something, you either arrive on time to get a seat or its worth the wait. ā€œJoe is perfect. The girls are giving me gray hair trying to figure out their major at the college. And the twins have just

Chapter 5 - Michael
I sit in my office facing away from my desk, looking out through the open double doors that lead out into our yard. Though it’s a yard in the loosest sense of the word. Most humans, hell most werewolves, love to have an open clearing behind their house. A place to set up a patio or a pool. A place for pups to play or cookouts to take place. But that’s not what our yard is. We have a very large front yard that showcases the front of our house with a large porch across the front. But the back of the house is surrounded by trees. The only clear area is a path that goes through the trees, leading to a circular clear space about 50 feet in. The path is about two people across and I have a clear view from the desk in my office. It’s where Citra used to commune with Hecate on the Astral Plane, similar to how Bella has a large flat rock that she sits on by the river behind their house. I used to watch her out there, my wolf unable to stop

Chapter 6 - Jacob
My lungs feel like they’re exploding, longing for air. I know that if I just open my mouth, let the water in, that it will be over. But it turns out that the more human I become, the more difficult it is to intentionally drown myself. Through the mindlink, I hear Hermes say, Stop fighting it, polemistĆ­ mou (my warrior). Let the Lethe in and then we can let you up. It all sounds so simple, especially to a god. Just breathe in the healing waters of the Lethe, the famed river in the Underworld where all ills are cured. Where Hercules gained his near invulnerability. Where traumatized souls came to forget after their deaths. According to Michael, the archangel who had been my guide as an angel, their god was able to give his ā€œholy powerā€ to those that he deemed worthy. But he was unable to take it away. That was the ā€œworld’s work,ā€ for all were made in their god’s image and all were full of his glory. He was unable to take that away from them.

Chapter 7 - Hermes
ā€œHe wants us to go to Apollo,ā€ I tell our other two mates as we ready Jacob for a bath. Lethe is freezing and he’s always shivering and all goose bumpy by the time that he gets back home. This time his lips are slightly blue and his skin is pale. I’m worried.We all are.ā€œWhy? What can Apollo do that the Lethe can’t?ā€ Alexander asks me.ā€œMichael thinks that because Apollo is used to dealing with humans, he might have better success than what we’ve been doing?ā€ I say, hurriedly taking my clothes off as Alexander and Josefina take off Jacob’s clothes. His baths work better when we’re all in there with him and right now I don’t trust him to stay above water by himself right now.His wolf, though awake and responsive, doesn’t seem to be healing him as well this time. Michael thinks that it’s because his wolf is losing his angelic powers faster than Jacob is. It’s his wolf’s way of protecting Jacob’s human form.I realize that I keep saying ā€˜Michael thinks’ about five more times than

Chapter 8 - Alexander
I know that Jake and Hermes are going at it, Jake pretty much nonsensical with how needy he is. But right now, I can’t look beyond JoJo and the way that her eyes are devouring every inch of me. Fuck, this she-wolf knows exactly what each and every one of us likes and she deploys her skills with alacrity. I watch as she adds a bit of a wiggle to her hips, causing her heavy breasts to sway. They somehow got bigger and fuller after having the triplets. Actually, they seem even fuller over the past few days. That thought makes something in his brain hitch. Like there’s something important about that piece of information. But then JoJo cups both of her tits in her hands, one finger on each had reaching up to swipe over her nipples, and that though completely dissipates as he watches her. Were she a bit taller, I’d be able to smell her arousal, but the water in the tub is too high for that. She reaches me and pushes my thighs apart and she settles

Chapter 9 - Selene
ā€œThor, Erik will be awake soon,ā€ I complain, but not very forcefully.Thor has his nose in my neck, his tongue playing alone her matemark. Our little godling is napping, but Thor, who had been visiting his father, just got home. And he is hungry.Just not for food.ā€œHe’s fine. He’s a godling. He can care for himself. Magic his own food. Care for his own entertainment. And isn’t Tethys just next door?ā€ Thor’s voice sends shivers through my body, causing my core to clench and prepare for his entry. This is exactly what Thor does to me. Every single time.And the fact that he has had my Auntie Tethys come to act as a nanny for our son, Erik, and that he’s been hinting at Erik needing a brother or sister, tells me exactly what has been on his mind lately. The man is able as subtle as the damn hammer he carries around. I feel my body start to melt against his, my resolve to try and push his advances until later in the evening start to crumble and fall.

Chapter 10 - Nathan
ā€œAre you sure that you’ll be ok, babe?ā€ I ask Freya. She looks at me from her seat on the couch. She has a heating pad on her back and her feet in magickally heated water filled with Epsom salts. She’s also drinking some tea with turmeric and ginger to help with the swelling that seems to be growing out of control with all of the rain lately. With both of us being at least half witch and half werewolf, we weren’t sure whether she would take after our witch side or our werewolf side. With how fast her stomach is rounding and her being only a few weeks along, it seems like the werewolf side is going to be taking over. Honestly, I’m happy about that. I want to meet our child. And I’m dying to know whether they are a boy or a girl. Waving me off, she picks up the remote for the television. ā€œNo, love. Go to your meeting. I’m just going to watch some trash TV. Maybe take a nap. I somehow have the afternoon off and I’m taking damn go
