It had been two years since Andrew happened and some packs still felt the fear they did that day. They had found out what Killian had done and respected him more but they also feared him. Crystal didn't mind it. He did what he promised. She sat in the grade, completely at ease with Monica, Brandy, Jessica, Kellie, and all the kids. Between them, they had seven of them there. Monica had found her mate not long after the fighting. He was on border patrol when she crossed back through and when they knew, he came back with her to watch the kids. Bryan was made Alex's guardian while Monica remained Destiny's. They both lived for each other the kids. including their own, Danny. Monica had one son, Danny. Crystal had her two, Destiny and Alex. Brandy had a little girl, Sophia. Jessica had a girl too, Taylor. Kellie had twins, one boy, and one girl, Timothy and Tammy. They guys came over not long after and came and sat with their mates. Killian grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her ha
Since the treaty of the packs was signed, it was agreed that once a year, the packs would come together for one grand ball to honor the treaty. There was an old castle up in the mountains that was dedicated for the event. The old couple who lived there were more than willing and happy to host such an event. They were honored their home was chosen and thought it ridiculous that omegas were given to them to help them maintain the castle. The omegas were happy to help and loved living with them. The packs were so numerous and even kids were allowed to attend. Houses were built around the property to accommodate everyone. Each pack had their part of the property to settle on if anyone brought a tent for camping while they were there.Crystal stood and watched everyone pack in the house. Everyone was coming except for the omegas. These next two weeks would be a vacation for them. They enjoyed the time off and thanked the Luna. Crystal walked through the town and saw everyone prepa
Crystal woke up on the morning of the first day of the ball. All her family was still asleep and the rest of the pack was too. She walked outside and took a breath of fresh air. Kellie came over and sat with her on the bench."Good morning, Luna.""Good morning, Luna.""Ready for tonight?""I am but it's a question if the guys are. Killian hates dressing up. I let him get away with wearing his cowboy boots instead of dress shoes. He says if he's going to dress like a monkey, he wants one part of him to be him.""Makes sense. Samuel loves dressing in the suit and tie.""I know that doesn't bother you.""Not at all."Just then, Destiny came walking out and sat next to Crystal."Good morning, darling.""Morning, momma.""Sleep okay?""Yeah."The three of them sat and enjoyed the crisp mountain air as they waited for the men to rise.After about an hour, Crystal walked back inside while Kel
In the weeks that followed their crowning, they had a new sense of responsibility and new energy that flowed through them us they were connected to all the wolves. With this new energy, they couldn't keep their hands off of each other and Killian said it was worse than when they first mated while she was in heat. Every chance they got they were all over one another. It didn't even matter where they were. He'd lock his office and shed lock her. If they were in their bedroom, it was game on for them. Their wolves even did it if they were in their form. It was like they couldn't get enough of each other and they couldn't stop.The day it simmered down, she doesn't remember them ever having sex as much as they did. She followed his scent to their room and saw him standing there. He looked like a sculpted god standing there on the balcony. He turned at catching her scent and saw the look in her eyes and smiled wickedly. He approached her and gathered her in his arms and held
A few years had gone by since Crystal's breakdown. She had been worried for nothing as the lunas absolutely loved her guidance. Crystal was now standing on her balcony and watching her children play. Destiny was six months away from finding out what her wolf was, and Alex was still a few years from it. Alex had grown more mature since learning and understanding that one day he would take over as Alpha King. His mate would take her place. Destiny just hoped to find her mate, she didn't really care if he was an alpha or not. Destiny was the oldest out of the children her friends had, and she would be the first to turn. Crystal and Kellie kept talking about how close Destiny and Timothy had gotten. They were sure they were mates.Alex was stopped by Killian as he walked out, and Crystal watched him as him as they talked. Alex told Destiny bye and followed Killian inside. Alex had been doing his Alpha training a
Six months went by faster than Destiny ever remembered as she and Tim talked non-stop since they found out. They sneaked into the tunnels to see each other but even as impulsive as they both were, they were always mindful of Killian's rule. Timothy had no choice, Killian was Alpha King, but Killian was Destiny's father and she chose to follow his rule. She figured if she broke his one request and something so life-changing, what kind of Luna would that make her. She focused more on what her mother said and did and followed her to every meeting. On small things, Crystal even let her make the decision and put an input in.Today was different. Today there was a meeting of the packs. All Alphas and Lunas would be present and those old enough to attend the meetings that would be alpha or luna next. She knew Alex would go but when Crystal told Destiny she would also go, she was shocked."Mom, this a major meeting.""One that involves you. You will be there."
Destiny felt hopeful about her future after the meeting with Black Heart went so well. She sat in her room on the window seat and looking down into the garden. She saw her mom run out; laughing as she turned around and saw Killian. He was smiling and laughing and nodding his head as he walked up to Crystal. He grabbed her hand she had outstretched to keep him back and he pulled her to him. He wrapped his arms around her and Destiny started to laugh as he started to dance with her. There was no music or anything, they were in their own world. She saw her mother look up at her father with such love in her eyes as they stood there swaying back and forth. Killian pecked kisses all over her face and it made Crystal laugh as they kissed each other passionately and went to sit somewhere in the garden to enjoy each other's company. Destiny realized then that that was what she wanted with Tim. Her parents were the true definition of mates. They were completely different, yet they were perfec
Killian was in office when Jake came through. He still looked annoyed. It had been three months since Alex went hunting with him and from Jake said, you could definitely tell Alex was an alpha. Jake sat in front of Killian and Aaron also came in and sat. There had been reports of rouges getting closer to the borders of not just his pack, but Green Marsh as well. Jake had suggested it, but Killian didn't want to hear it. He was sure Fredrick was dead by now. Every time he thought of that man, he thought of his mother. It was something still too painful to deal with. It wasn't as hard since he knew he could always talk to Crystal about it. She always listened when he needed to clear his mind and she would always comfort him or she knew exactly what he needed.Before any of them had a chance to speak, Alpha Jones and Alpha Philip walked in; both were father figures to Killian. They both took a seat and waited for Killian."What do we know so far?""They are definit
Crystal woke up with an awful feeling that something was terribly wrong. She shot up and began walking around the house but saw no sign of Killian. She saw the office door shut and threw open the doors. She was shocked to find Alex and Aaron in there."Where is your father?""He left with Fredrick about six hours ago.""What?"Alex immediately came over to her and sat her down on the sofa. He gave her a bottle of water and explained everything Killian had said. She teared up as he said Killian left him as acting alpha. She hugged him and walked out and tried to call Killian. To her surprise, he answered her."Hello?""Hi.""I'm sorry I left like I did. I just didn't want there to be problems again.""It's okay. I know how you are. Is everything okay?""Yes, so far. I love you, baby girl.""I love you.""I got to go, but I will try and call later, okay.""Okay. Be safe, babe."He hung up the ph
