I opened the door to see Selene sleeping; she’s been through so much in one day, we all have. There was a small tap on my shoulder, turning my head, I saw Amber standing behind me; closing the door quietly, I turned to talk to her, “We’re ready to go.” She said then looked at the door, “How is she?” I looked at the door then turned back to Amber,
“She’s strong, but she’s gone through so much so fast. I don’t remember her being like this when we were children; back then, she was so skittish, it was so cute.” Amber smiled lightly,
“Phoenix, she’s grown up, she’s not that same little girl anymore.” I nodded, I knew she was right, but that’s what worried me. Selene is strong, I knew that, but she’s the same strong my mother was and even that much strength can’t help you during the trying times; for my mother, it was when she delivered my sister, they
Ten years. That’s how long it took to finish everything because of the battle Mara caused. My children have taken up responsibilities all across our kingdom and are more than excited to bring our people closer together; especially Apollo and Artemis. That’s all they ever want to do and they have declared that instead of marrying and only one of them assuming the throne after Phoenix and I retire, that they would rule as they do everything else, together. I could not be more proud of all of them, believe me, I’ve tried. I raised up and saw that Phoenix was still fast asleep; instead of doing the nice thing and letting him rest, I did the evil thing and started kissing his neck. His hands met my waist and he groaned. I couldn’t help myself, I started nibbling the skin which made his grip tighten; soon enough I felt him poking my inner thigh and I smirked. After getting his hands off my hips, I slid do
Mara was destroyed but Selene was in critical condition. Everyone had warned her that the spell was too dangerous, but she was determined to win the war, even if it meant risking her life to save ours. Amber said that out of over two thousand soldiers, only three hundred were injured or killed. I was upset that we lost any, but I was happy that we were able to save so many more. After the spell was cast, Selene plummeted to the ground; I managed to catch her before she hit, but she was unconscious and barely breathing. Even after being beaten nearly to death, she still managed to cast the spell that ended the battle. I sat beside her bed and held her hand, praying that she would wake up. My uncle and cousin brought the children now that it was safe for them; they’d sit with me and watch their mother. All three of the girls would start balling their eyes out when Selene wouldn’t answer them but she couldn’t help it. Her heartbeat was slow and there was
This is it, I thought. Today is the day we dethrone my grandmother. I watched out the window as the Silvermoon Pack warriors trained; other Alphas from different packs and their warriors came to help. I’m terrified, but I’m trying to hide it. But it’s hard to hide things from my husband. Phoenix came up behind me and hugged me tightly, “It’s going to be okay, Selene.” He told me; his attempts to be convincing weren’t doing any good. I simply smiled and turned so I could look into his eyes, “Yes, it is.” I said before turning my attention back to the window. Phoenix kissed my shoulder then asked, “What is it?” I sighed and turned around to face him completely, “So many of us…” my voice cracked, “This is the last time most of us will be together.” I told him, “So many of us might not be here when this is over
I stared at Selene as she slept. The poor thing has been so stressed out that she needed to rest. The nightmares were getting worse and the twins were having a tough time sleeping through the night. Coaxing the twins back to sleep, I placed them in the same crib together which seemed to work. Selene shifted in the bed, strands of her hair fell over her face; I couldn’t help but smile at her. Leaning towards her, I moved the hairs from her face and stroked her soft skin. Training was killing her, but Selene, my beautiful wife, she’s so strong. I know that no matter what happens to me, to Amber, to any of us, Selene will never stop fighting for what’s right. I sat back to admire her beauty but then she shot up, “Hey, hey,” I said softly, gaining her attention, “it’s okay, you’re okay.” She sighed softly,“What’s wrong?” She asked, &ldquo
Five weeks. Five weeks since I became a mother. The warriors from Packs all around the world were offering support alongside Alphas, witch covens offered support and even some of the vampire elders were on my side and had hundreds behind them awaiting my orders. Phoenix was playing with the babies while I went over things for the meeting in my head, what didn’t help was the adorable interruption of Artemis crawling over to me and reaching for me. I bent down and picked her up and snuggled her; Phoenix saw it as an opportunity to take a photo of the precious moment. “It’s hard to believe the twins are already crawling.” He told me, I smiled and nodded, “I know. Mom had told me that I hit many stages earlier than other infants just a few weeks after my birth.” I booped Artemis’s nose and she giggled, “They’re just like their momma.” I cooed, which earned me a small smile and chuckle from Phoenix, 
I sat in the living area by the fireplace rubbing my already big belly. I was still trying to wrap my head around having five children. Phoenix assures me that we can handle it, but I’m not as confident as he is; I won’t even have my mother or uncles here to help me, especially since there were five of them. It would be nice if I could talk to someone that has or even had a big family. I sat there contemplating when Amber walked in with the biggest smile on her face, I chuckled, “You just got off the phone with Christopher, didn’t you?” Her smile only grew as she nodded her head profusely, “He wishes you the best and would like to know the plan when you finally figure that out.” She stated, I only stared at my stomach before giving her a weak smile, “Okay, I will.” I told her, “Oh, and one more thing…
