MasukAnd wait...there's more...*winks*
Jude POVHonestly, hearing about a gift and then seeing it happen in front of you are two very different things. I love Iva, with all my heart, and even that doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Now, I’m proud and impressed with her ability and how easily she controls it.After eating, we all went to handle different tasks. I walked with Iva outside and wanted to learn more about her gift and its purpose.“Have you been using your gift, Iva? I mean, since before now?” I asked her.She lowered her head, as if she were ashamed. Which makes zero sense. “This is the second time I have used it. I don’t even let Tala out to run as I should.” She said.I grabbed her hand, “Don’t feel bad. We can go for a run right now if you like. I’m sure Samson would like to run with Tala.” I said.She looked at me with hope in her eyes. “Really? You’ll run with me?”I find this reaction strange. “Of course, why wouldn’t I?”She just looked at me with longing. “I always thought my family would be with me for my
Iva POVMatt starts laughing. “Holy Moon Goddess, Tobias! Iva makes a better looking you than you do!”I looked around the room, and everyone was wide-eyed and mouths opened. I shifted into Toby. I told them what my gift was, and they are acting surprised. The only one that doesn’t is Jude.He is looking around the room at everyone, “What is going on? I don’t see it.”Jordyn looks at Jude and then points at me. “Jude, she shifted into Uncle Toby! What do you mean that you don’t see it?”“I don’t see Uncle Toby. I just see Iva.” Jude said.I looked at Jude, “I shifted into Toby. You don’t see Toby when you look at me, Jude?”“No. I see my mate.” He said.“Well, don’t kiss her right now. To everyone else, she looks like me!” Toby said out loud, alarmed.Everyone else started laughing. Then Tala said something else. ‘Make Toby look like you.’‘What? I can do that?’ I said, shocked.‘Yeah. Try to do it.’“Apparently, there is something else I can do,” I tell everyone.Jordyn’s eyes light
Jordyn POV When I was sparring with Jude, I felt his emotions about me not being around. It’s part of that twin connection we have. Up until that moment, I hadn’t thought about where Joshua and I would end up after everything with Jude and Iva was resolved. In my mind, I never thought that where we live could change. Plus, the more I’m with Joshua, the more I see a future with pups and a happy home. The future always had my family around, but I never once considered his family. I was unintentionally being selfish. I don’t like feeling that way. When I was done sparring, I went back to our bedroom and got in the shower. I was holding back my tears, nerves, and fears. I wasn’t sure about anything after this trip, but now I was feeling the weight of what it meant, and I had no answers or solutions because I couldn’t decide it myself. The tears flowed freely the moment I sat on the cold tiled bench in the shower. The heat from the shower hit me, but I still felt cold. I felt like every
Joshua POV Jordyn has been kicking my ass at training. I don’t want to go hard on her. I tower over her, and I’m afraid I will hurt my mate. When Jude tapped in, he didn’t back down on Jordyn. He fought her hard and pinned her a couple of times. I noticed she let go of a lot of aggression after pinning Jude down, too. Maybe I was being too soft, but she is precious to me. “Joshua, tomorrow, don’t hold back on Jordyn,” Jaxon said, and I looked at him like he had grown two heads, and he laughed. “I don’t think you understand, Joshua. My daughter fights like her mother. She is methodical and can pivot and adjust quickly. She has a lot of her mother in her.” “Do you fight with Sable like that?” I asked, genuinely curious. “I do. She would kick my ass if I went soft on her. She was a lead warrior, and she is training her daughters to fight like lead warriors. Don’t treat her like she is fragile. It offends her. Go figure.” I smirk and nod, “Will do.” Once training was done, I went to
Sable POVI’m working with Jaliyah and Jazmyne on their sparring stances. These two are strong fighters, but they are easily distracted. This is their biggest flaw. They will be eighteen next month, and I want them to be prepared.Life as a royal isn’t easy. They will face hardships despite their upbringing and station in life. Jude is experiencing it now with Iva. That poor girl has been through hell. I didn’t have much growing up, but I always had my parents’ love. I may have been lonely, but I was never targeted the way she has been.“Jazzy, sweetheart, stop looking at the warriors. You have to stay focused on your defense, or your sister will pin you,” I said to her.Her eyes snapped back, and her cheeks reddened. “Sorry, Mom. I don’t know how you did it with so many warriors around you when you were a lead warrior.”“I focused, and I also wanted my fated mate. None of the warriors were. When I realized they weren’t, I lost all interest. I respected the mate bond, and you girls sho
Jude POV I am going to strangle her in her sleep. I’ve decided. My sister, whom I love dearly, must die. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. That orange T-shirt, which I wore inside out because of the phrase ‘Pussy Lover’ with a kitten under it, was on the other side, was the only one long enough not to look like a midriff. Matt, Kent, Toby, Joshua, Jordy, Iva, and even Dad are all laughing at me. I will get her back. I will wait for the perfect moment to play my prank, and I will make her regret it. I smile at the thought of what she will do to top me later. We get to Winter Moon. We haven’t been here in a couple of years. Not much has changed, but the trees look a little taller, the kids have gotten a little older and the pack house has gotten a fresh coat of paint. There are warriors whistling at Iva and my sister. Joshua and I started growling, followed by my dad. Clearly, these idiots are new. Matt snarled, “You are being disrespectful to the future queen of the real
Sable POV “Uh, I’m staying. You…you…um, you need to go.” I say and damn it; I sound breathy and needy. “If you are staying, then so am I.” He says presses his body against me, “My guard can take the couch. I will stay in bed with you.” That got my attention and snapped me back to reality, “What?
Jaxon POV Diane looks at her with wide eyes, like she is trying to tell her to be quiet. “Luna Diane?” I asked the nurse, “Yes, Alpha. She said she was the future Luna and was wearing the Luna Moon Crest. Then she told me not to bother with food or pay any more attention to the patient. I was ju
Jaxon POV “She hasn’t left her room, Alpha.” She said nervously. “I want security footage pulled, NOW! I roared. Within a few minutes, I’m watching the surveillance video. Sable came out of the room. Not only was I not there, but the fucking nurse left her station and was gone for more than te
Jaxon POV I have a chosen mate? That’s news to me. What is Sable talking about? “You’re my mate, are you not?” Her cheeks heat up again. It’s entertaining. She’s a lead warrior and apparently a very good one, yet here she is, blushing at a simple question. “I mean, yeah, but your future Luna s
