تسجيل الدخولMaya brought several baby outfits for Violet.Violet barely stirred as they were putting a diaper on her."Shouldn't she wake up from this?" Talia asked, and everyone around her shrugged.'There is nothing wrong with her,' Liseli assured Talia. 'She is just sleepy. Who wouldn't be after absorbing all those energies?'Talia believed Liseli, but she wanted Violet to be checked by a doctor. She didn't want to waste time putting a complicated onesie on Violet, so she swaddled her in a receiving blanket while a how-to video played on the side.By the time they were ready to leave the packhouse, Keith, Arya, Zina, Owen, Dawn, and George were there also. They all gathered around the bed where Violet was sleeping, unaware of the crowd.Talia looked at Maya, Zina, Dawn, Arya, and Cornelia. They were all pregnant. But one female was missing. "Where is Mindy?"The door opened, and Mindy waddled in. Actually, the first one to come in sight was Mindy's belly. One step behind Mindy was Gideon, whos
Drake hugged Talia from the side and pressed his lips on her temple. "I am glad things ended well." He really did. And he could feel the sparks of their bond again which was fantastic.Talia was in his arms, and their baby slept peacefully on the bed. It was surreal.He wanted to hold Violet and hug her, but she was so tiny, and he didn't want to disturb her rest.He counted five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot, and she had a tiny nose, tiny mouth, and a small tuft of black hair on her head. Everything was small and... breakable. Will he be able to hold her without hurting her?Drake decided to focus on Talia. "How are you feeling? That looks like a lot of blood." It was not much by werewolf standards, but he didn't like to see Talia hurt in any way. "Should I call Travis?""No need." Talia could sense that her bleeding was stopping, and the ache was not unbearable. "This was supposed to happen in a hospital. I'm sorry I messed up the bedsheets." And she was confident
'How can I help?' Drake asked anxiously. He didn't like the idea of Talia being tested without him around.'Use your bond,' Astraea said to Drake. 'Send to your mate and your child confidence, support, love, and whatever else you want to give them. Open your mind and feel the world around you. Let your instincts guide you…'Astraea started chanting melodiously, and Talia thought how it resembled the song of the Wilkow sisters.'What is that?' Talia asked.'When we use our energy, we do it with a thought. Mindless energies need to be coaxed to cooperate if we don't want to risk them turning hostile,' Astraea responded. 'This song lures them in and allows us to channel it as our own.''I heard something similar when five sisters boosted the energies to help us fight the Guardians,' Talia said.Astraea's features hardened. 'The Guardians? Those halflings dare to call themselves as such?''Calm down, love,' Valerian said to Astraea. 'This is about Natalia and our grandchild. They can't ha
Talia looked at the silvery figure in front of her, and her heart ached and warmed at the same time as the feminine features became more distinct.When Talia opened the portal at her Luna ceremony, the figure looked huge, yet now that she was next to Valerian, she looked petite… just like Talia. Talia understood why Valerian said, more than once, that Talia reminded him of her mother. They looked alike.And there was Valerian, standing proud and majestic with his hand resting on Astraea's hip, and this time, his smile was genuine. He was happy, and Talia was happy as well.A warm sensation wrapped around Talia's shoulders, and she looked to the side to see a humanoid mass of darkness. It was Drake.'How did we get here?' Talia asked Drake.'I think it's your necklace,' Drake responded. He saw it glowing before they appeared… wherever this was.As far as the eyes could see, light gray light pulsated rhythmically into white before returning to light gray, and it was impossible to estima
Drake panicked.Why was Talia holding onto her stomach? Was something wrong with the baby?He knew that these humans would bring trouble! That's why he demanded privacy, and that's why he wanted Talia to stay behind and let him handle the intruders, but it was too late because they were here and she was upset.Drake rushed to hold Talia. "What's going on, kitten? Should I take you to bed? Or call a doctor?"Drake's head snapped to look at Nadia, Alice, Brad, and Gabriel who were petrified. They were not werewolves, but they could sense that something was different about the two people in front of them. Talia's eyes and hair changed color, and Drake climbed the tree like it was nothing, and... the air around them was unusual, dangerous."How dare you harm my mate!?" Drake growled."Drake..." Talia called in a strained voice. "The baby..."Drake could see uncertainty and panic in Talia's silvery eyes, and he felt her pain. Drake saw red. Talia was in physical pain!He directed his anger
Drake's temper was rising as the four intruders were getting closer. He was hoping they would stop or take a turn, but that was not the case.Since they left the Dark Howlers pack, Talia was in a good mood. She didn't think about their packs, her father disappearing, the Guardians, or anything else that would usually weigh on her adorable mind.It reached the point where even their wolves were snoozing contently.Drake was extra vigilant in keeping distractions away, but it seemed he was about to fail.Pesky humans!"Drake?" Talia called drowsily, and Drake's stomach tightened.Damn it! Talia was awake! Someone will need to pay for this, big time!"Shh… sleep, kitten." He rubbed her back and pressed a kiss on her forehead.Drake was tense, which woke her up, so she had to ask, "What is going on?""Just some intruders. I will deal with them."Talia was alerted. "Intruders? Here?" Weren't they on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?Drake exhaled helplessly. "I think it's the s
Caden rubbed his forehead forcefully while looking at the stubborn Alpha in front of him.He knew that Drake will resist, but this time he seems to be more determined than ever.The truth is that Caden handled numerous emails from Elders who are trying to matchmake Drake with his next bride.Elder
~ the Dark Howlers pack ~ Drake entered his study and looked grumpily at the stack of documents that are waiting for him to sign. Why is the Alpha of the largest pack in North America forced to do this office work? As a child, when he imagined his future, Drake saw himself as a mighty warrior, s
In the guest bedroom… Drake pushed Marcy away from him and Marcy fell on her butt unceremoniously. "Who is that girl?", Drake asked while buttoning up his pants. Marcy was confused. "What girl?" "The one with towels! She left towels in the bathroom and left!", Drake roared and jabbed his hand i
In the guestroom… Drake sat in the comfy sofa chair and observed Marcy smugly. She was standing three steps in front of Drake with her hands crossed over her chest defensively. "You wanted privacy, so here we are.", Drake said while waving his hand, gesturing for Marcy to start talking. "Conside
