The next morning went as usual. I tried to call Sylvi (my best friend) a few times, there was no answer. I was worried, she usually was a stick up my ass, but the good kind.
I decided to send a quick message to Gunny and Sylvi. I needed to discuss what just happened with them before this lunch date.
Hey guys, something crazy happened.
Don’t worry I am fine
I need you to call me asap.
Sylvi’s reply came first.
Copy that girl. If I need the shovel
and an alibi just say WINE!
It irritated me that she didn’t answer my call but texted back no problem. Another message from Gunny appeared in the top banner.
I will be off the grid for another 3 days.
Sylvi- take care of our girl.
I allowed myself to get lost in some work. I wanted to distract myself from needing to make so many major life choices. My happy-ever-after with Kilian was over, I needed to accept it and get the ball rolling.
I glanced down at the clock on my computer and noticed I was late. Shit. I looked in the mirror and realized I looked exhausted. My hair was a mix of light brown and natural red highlights that hung to the middle of my back. The status of it making me think of a hurricane.
I took it down and ran the brush through it quickly before throwing it into a quick loose braid. I grabbed me clothes and headed into the bathroom to splash some water on my face.
I looked at my jeans and my royal blue tank I put on in the mirror, I have never been extremely confident, but I admired my hard work to tone up my body, it was finally paying off. I rarely wear makeup, but the thought crossed my mind.
I ran out the door, hoping not to miss him. As I reached the far edge of the cleared property, I looked around for him.
“Every time I lay my eyes on you, my heart skips a beat.” His deep voice sang.
I jumped at the words. Turning to face him. His eyes were as I remembered, hazel with a deep green rim. The gold in the center mesmerized me.
His broad shoulders were larger than our last life. He was always strong, but this time he looked like he was raised a soldier. The tattoos that covered his skin were exquisite.
I let my eyes wash over him noticing a few scars. One was over his left eye, another on the right side of his neck. His dark brown hair concealed it well. It was about shoulder length, I wanted to wrap my fingers thru it.
I stepped towards him placing my pale hand against his tan skin. I giggled for some reason thinking of the vanilla caramel coffee box at the store.
He reached out taking my hand leading me into the woods. My skin ignited at the touch. I wrapped my hands around him needing to feel his warmth. He pulled his body away from mine, leading me onward.
“I am sorry I was a couple minutes late, I lost track of myself this morning,” I blurted.
“I thought you had already left, and I realized I would not know how to get in touch with you.” Now speaking calmly.
“You do not need to apologize princess, I just wanted to make sure that you were alone.” He replied.
We walked for few minutes and came to a clearing; it was beautiful with the Huge trees surrounding the area where the sun beamed through. I stood staring at the huge trees for a moment while he set up the blanket and food.
He brought grapes, crackers, two or three types of cheese and cantaloupe. This was perfect. The butterflies in my stomach made eating doubtful. Just then he pulled out the mini ham and turkey sliders. I grabbed one and started chewing on it to prevent myself from rambling. So much for not being able to eat.
“Do you want me to let you be? For the rest of Kilian’s life anyways.” He asked softly.
“Okay. To be honest it is all a little much right now. I don’t know.” I forced out.
“I wasn’t born to wolves this time, maybe we failed and don’t know it.” I said to him hurt.
“Princess, you are still a wolf.” He wasn’t worried.
“Goddess Luna created us, our souls, our energy, is what gives us our abilities. Not the human genetics.” He explained.
“When did you… not important right now.” I stopped myself thinking of my next question.
“How many wolves are around here? Is the outlaw pack still around?” I said.
A shiver ripped through me with the last memory replaying in my head. Tears began to fill my eyes as I felt the emotions I had blocked out, I buried my head into his shoulder. Her wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
“Just my pack and a few guard members.” He shrugged at my raised eyebrow.
“This time around I was born to an Alpha, he worked closely with the guard. We grew up together.” He summarized to quickly for me.
I shook my head trying to wrap my thoughts around living 35 years and not knowing anything about wolves. I know I still have at least another 150 years to go, but 35 years is a lot of time to lose. Time, I spent without my mate.
“I know you don’t want to hurt him.” He interrupted my thoughts.
“I don’t want to live without you either.” I retorted.
He guzzled down his water bottle and the sight turned up the heat. I know that Kilian deserves better. He doesn’t deserve me to just walk away and never look back. I love him and our family, I just can’t explain this.
What if he thinks I have gone insane and tries to keep the kids from me? What if he takes me to the drunk tank and says I’m a threat?
I wanted to turn my brain off so badly. I tiled my head up pressing my lips to his. My body flashed a memory of last night when he woke me up. It responded instantly driving me wild. I felt my nipples harden as the tingle went down my stomach.
“I’ve missed you to much.” I whispered.
Wrapping my hands in his hair I took the kiss deeper. I swung my leg over his other hip to straddle him. My center landing on his manhood pressed against his shorts. The thin fabric allowing me to feel closer.
He moved the kiss to my neck sliding his tongue across the spot he will mark, as he has every lifetime before. He took his finger and traced the area gently. My muscles twitched at the sensitivity.
A moan came from my chest as he cupped my breast into his hand. He took his tongue tracing around the nipple in circles before covering it with his mouth. I pulled his head in closer wanting more.
His hand unbuttoned my pants before lifting me up and placing me underneath him. He pulled them right off showing my light blue lace panties. A low growl came from his chest and my body sent a wave of fluid to my entrance.
It was as if he commanded it. He slid his finger across my panties as feeling the wetness on the outside. He slowly pulled them from my skin. He yanked in a split second and my panties were gone.
“My love.” I said to him wanting him to touch me.
My body was in a whirlwind. He lightly traced his tongue around my pelvis, gently kissing my thighs. I squirmed in anticipation. I felt my core gush when he released another growl.
“I need your touch.” I begged.
He slid a finger into my core. The sensation causing pleasure to cover my entire body. I wanted more, so much more. I began to shift my hips to ride his hand, he withdrew. I whimpered and he chuckled before growling at my entrance causing an uncontrollable orgasm.
My vision started to have black spots appearing. Lex didn’t slow down, he had slid his tongue into my entrance, tasting all of my sweet nectar. He had lifted my hips in the air, my legs were over his shoulders as his hands squeezed my ass.
He began gently licking my swollen lips causing me to shiver, I hadn’t felt like that this whole lifetime. I missed the feeling; my memories didn’t compare.
He always liked to torture me. He hovered at my entrance I felt him slid against the wetness, waiting for me to beg. Remembering he was an Alpha this time around, I grinned.
“Please Alpha, I need you to fill me.” I said seductively.
The growl that was release had some serious power. With my werewolf side dormant I didn’t expect to feel it much. I locked eyes with him submitting to his wolf.
He thrusted deep inside causing me to scream in pleasure. The sound echoed through the forest, but I didn’t care. I wrapped my hands around his face pulling his lips to mine.
He grabbed my wrists with one hand pulling them above my head pinning me to the ground. I pushed my chest up towards his causing him to slide out slightly.
He growled at my defiance pushing my head down with the kiss before adjusting his hips forcing himself deeper. He released my arms wrapping his arm around my waist to bring me up on him.
My legs wrapped around him; our chests glistened with sweat rubbing against each other. I bit down on his neck to hide my moans.
“I want to hear you.” His seductive voice said in my ear.
The next few days went by quickly. Alexander said he was going to give me a few days to try to figure things out, but he would be close by. I didn’t like the feeling that no matter what I did, someone would be hurt.I knew that someone was Kilian. I just needed to rip off the bandaid. He was such a great father; I really have no clue how he is going to process this. I decided to plan on telling him tomorrow morning.My daughters were going to be out of the house for the evening. Freya was going with Ingrid to a lock-in at the movie theater. Helga was taking her SAT’s tomorrow and staying at a friend’s house to study.Knowing Kilian would be out of the house until after midnight, I decided to go perform a ritual to attempt to contact the goddess. I am pretty sure she knows what is going on, and if she thinks it’s funny, well, it’s not.I wandered into the back yard with a blanket and some candles. I listed for Lex in human or
“I miss…” he said between placing kisses down my neck,“I miss…”I felt his fingers push down on my clit and start moving slowly. His touch sent waves of pleasure through me. I moaned and my juices began to pool as he slid two fingers past my lips. The sensation made my thighs quiver.He cupped my breasts in his hands as he continued to assault my body with his tongue. Slowly he licked my nipple causing me to whimper and push up towards him, wanting him to fill his mouth.He chuckled at my expense and nipped it gently trailing his tongue to massage the sting. I lifted my head and begged him with my eyes.“You need to stay put,” He started thrusting his fingers in and out faster.“Remember, I love watching your beautiful body lose control.”My juices were flowing like a river at this point, I was so close to the edge. He moved to tease my other nipple while lightly pinching
Kilian was looking at us like there was more to say. I softened my eyes and took a few steps towards him, closing the distance. Lex followed protectively behind me.“Our children are special. I’m not sure why. I do not know how this is going to work. I hoped it would be more difficult for you to leave our relationship in the dust.”“You will always be the light I follow and will give my life for. After seeing you with him, I don’t know how I feel yet.”“I know I should be jealous, but it is difficult when I saw the power amplified off the two of you a moment ago.” He blushed.I was blushing like a schoolgirl who was just caught by her parent in the middle of her first kiss.“I understand why she warned me, no one could resist something like that. But you are amazing Astrid and though we may not be what we once were, I do not want to live my life without you in it.”“You never
“He said his name is Joseph Nicholas.” I repeated to Lex and Kilian.Lex continued to search his brain for the name but seemed to come up empty. I hadn’t remembered anything like that from our previous lives. Kilian was the first to speak startling both Lex and me.“I know the name. I got an email a few weeks ago with that name. He said a similar story, that he was related to your mother in some way and he was coming to America.” He shook his head; regret was written all over his face.“I thought it was you,” he looked at Lex.“trying to find her.”“I ignored the email; I wasn’t going to make it easier for you to find her.” Slight attitude in his tone.“A few hundred years ago, there was a power-hungry pack. They were told of the prophecy by a witch that one day there would be a change in power. A hybrid wolf, both witch and werewolf shifter, would become Alpha. It
The doorbell rang as the contact info appeared on my phone screen. I grinned slightly at glad that something came up to distract me. Opening the door, I was greeted by Sylvi holding 2 cups of coffee.“Hey, I was just about to call you, I haven’t been able to get ahold of you for days. Are you okay?” I asked right away.“Of course, I was just tied up and not in a good way.” She winked at me.“Well consider me disappointed for you, what brings you by?”“That is what brings me by.”Sylvi waved her hand in a circle around my face as she spoke. She knew something was going on.“Great, I’ll take that coffee.” I said taking the cup from the tray.We both went in and settled into the couch. I was taking as long as possible to begin. She noticed I was trying to avoid the conversation.“Astrid, I feel like we are tight on time so we should get on with it. Start
As I headed into the kitchen, I walked into Helga, Ingrid, and Freya all tossing bags around while they argued about who was getting what. I shook my head watching them and laughed, food in this house was one of the things worth fighting over.“When did you guys order take out?” I asked.“Um, Mama, this was that hottie.” Helga pointed into the living room speaking low.“Oh, I’ll explain that later.” I said walking towards Lex.“I don’t know if Kilian is going to be okay with you being here with them. I was thinking you would just keep an eye on them from outside.” I explained in a whisper.“I have no problem with it, in fact I suggested it.” Kilian said from behind me.He was wearing a black button-down shirt and light jeans. His cologne filled the room as he walked in.“Girls, there are a lot of things changing. I want you to know that your mother and I lov
“Kilian, I feel this is something that needs to come from you.” Lex said.Sylvi handed me the joint she had just lit. She had a look in her eye like she was trying to get me to relax. I took it then handed it to Kilian as he nodded at Lex.“Okay, there was a heavy conversation that took place at first.”“I told her the same thing I told you. I am not going anywhere.”“She told us some vague information about preparing for a huge influx of wolves. She told me how special you are, Astrid.”“Love, there is a reason you have affinities for all the elements.”“A war is coming, and we will be ready. All of us, together.” He stated firmly.“I don’t feel the need to get into the specifics of my personal conversation with her, it was bad enough Lex was there.” He blushed a little.I was shocked. I closed my mouth once I realized I was staring, eyes
I woke up the next morning in a haze, my head pounding. I looked around the dark room slightly confused. I tried to replay the events from the day before. I felt like I had been sleeping for days.The realization hit me that I was not in my room in the house but the new room that my husband had built for me to share with my new-old man. I began to sit up and was weighed down by a heavy arm.I turned over to stare as he slept, he was so peaceful without the weight of the world on his shoulders.I gently snuck out of the bed and headed for the shower. Today felt different, like a new beginning. After I turned on the shower, I walked over to the linen closet and grabbed a towel, before stepping into the shower.I was lost in my thoughts putting things together. Everyone had a great time last night, we all acted as if we had been family forever.The shower curtain opened quickly, and I jumped spinning around. When I saw it was Lex, I smiled stepping as
