“Dakota,” a sweet voice called his name, “Kota, you need to wake up.” She said. “What time is it?” He moaned as he stretched. “It’s three-thirty, we need to be downstairs at four, my brother’s and dad are already up.” He opened his eyes and was met by the beautiful eyes and smile of his mate. “If you don’t get up they are gonna come in and drag you out.” She warned. He reached over and pulled her, so she was straddling him as they both laughed. He nuzzled her neck and inhaled deeply. “You smell amazing.” She felt him smile against her neck.
“Dakota! You need to get your furry ass up!” Kruz said opening the door without knocking. “Awe dammitt!!” He yelped. Kydence was straddling her mate, and he was kissing and nuzzling her neck. Dakota continued kissing Kydence.&n
He took his index and middle fingers, put them under her chin, lifted her face so that she was looking at him. “There’s nothing weird about you.” He told her kissing her nose. She rolled her eyes at him, “you’re supposed to say that you’re my mate.” She frowned as he chuckled and hugged her close as she tried to wiggle out of his hold. She was one for not showing affection in public and that was something he wanted to work on.“What’s the commotion out here?” Alpha Kelvin asked looking around at his family and new family members. “Everything’s fine, Uncle Kelvin, just a misunderstanding.” Kasper said with KC still in his arms. “Kasper, I hope you have a very good reason why my little sister is wrapped in your arms?” Drake said raising his brow. “Kasper let that poor girl go.” Sofia stomped up to him and w
“Are you outta your mind!” Dakota raised his voice startling Kydence. “Sorry princess. I didn’t mean to startle you.” He said kissing her temple. “Drake are you drunk?! I can’t run this pack.” “Of course, you can. You and Kydence will be Alpha and Luna. Since the King and Queen are going to want you to move to royal pack lands then I will have to figure out who my Beta and Gamma are going to be. Since the Shadow leadership will need to stay together. This would be the best way to make sure everyone is taken care of.” Dakota kept shaking his head no. “Brother, I know you can do this.” Drake assured standing in front of his brother.“Dad...” Kydence called out, “the pack doesn’t even show me respect now; you really think making me Luna will change that?” She asked. “Yes, it will make a dif
“Kyde, my child.” Elder Abby called to her niece. “Aunt Abby, please tell me that he’ll be okay.” Kydence sighed. “Of course, he will be okay.” Her aunt said sounding a little offended. “When have I ever lied to you?” Her aunt scoffed. “Never. I’m sorry.” Kydence answered. “So, after all this over, we will be able to live our lives?” “What’s gonna happen to Andrew.” “He will live and move on, but his future is clouded.” Abby sighed. “What does that mean?” Kydence asked with a frown on her face. “It means that he will need to decide if he will move on with a new mate who is waiting for him but finding her is up to him. It will depend on him being consumed by hate and anger.” Abby said. “But right now, all you need to do is be by your mate’s side. You need to open up to your mate, let him in. He wants to love you, but you need to let him in.” Abby smiled loving at her niece. “You, Sofia, your brother’s, and your mate’s are going to run both these packs with a strong
The sun slowly started to peek through the curtains of Dakota’s room. Kyde opened her eyes to find Sofia, Keane, KC and Kolby setting up breakfast for her. “Hey, what are you doing?” She asked through a yawn and sat up. “Just bring you some breakfast and a change of clothes.” Keane smiled. “Did you sleep any?” “Yeah, he finally relaxed around two. I think we both had somewhat of a restful sleep.” She said caressing her mates cheek. “I’ll be right back.” She whispered to him and then went to the bathroom to clean up.KC sat down next to her twin brother. “Kota, I know you and Diesel can hear me.” She stopped and sighed. “You need to hurry up and wake up. We have alotta work to do. You’ve be asleep already for four days, that’s long enough. Our and I mean, yours, mine, and Drak
The dining room was limited to family only so they could spend time together before things really changed. Dakota and Kydence would be taking over the pack, her parents, aunt, and uncle were taking a year to travel. Kolby would be living with Kydence and Dakota.“Alpha’s! We have an intruder!” Vic yelled out running into the dining room. “Dakota sorry, but you need to stay here, you’re still not at 100%.” Drake told his brother. “Please stay and watch our mates.” He asked. “Kota, please stay. I’ll go.” Kydence said. “You better be careful. We can’t lose you.” Dakota told her. She snorted. “Babe, don’t forget who and what I am.” She pecked his lips and ran out after Drake and her brother’s. “Hot Damn!” Diesel uttered. &ldq
One Week Later“So, what do you want to do with Hunter?” Dakota asked as Kydence hugged him from behind the chair he was sitting in. “I don’t know, did you have something in mind?” She sked as he pulled her around and sat her on his lap. “He’s my brother, I know him better than anyone, but I had a thought...” He said trialing off, she raised her brows at him. “He’s an assassin, so maybe we assign him to the Guards.” “He’s not a Shadow and no one other than Shadows are allowed to be Guards.” She told him. “Yeah but he’s very good at what he does, I think he would be a great asset. And, I’m not saying that he be a Guard just that he be assigned to them. His talents may come in handy at some point.” He told her as he brushed his lips lightly across her neck. “You’re trying to distract
The pack house was alive with activity as they were preparing for the merging of Shadow Mountain and BlackPaw Mountain packs and for the appointment of new leadership.“Kydence where are you?” Kora called through the Alpha floor. “No use in hiding, the rest of the girls are waiting along with the seamstress and make up team.” She said. “Mom, really?” Kyde whined. “You know I’m not a girly girl.” “Yes, I know but this is an important night, not only are you going to be bonded to your mate but you’re also going to be taking your place as Alpha.” Kora told her. “I don’t know mom, what if I let everyone down?” “Kydence, you are the packs top warrior, you lead them into whatever battle comes our way. You can do this, me, dad, aunt, uncle, your brother’s, we all believe in you. I know that Dakota believes in yo
Alpha Kelvin stopped at the stairs that led up to the stage. “Wait here girls.” He told them. He walked up the stairs and faced the crowd. “Thank you all for joining us this evening to not only join the Shadow family and the BlackPaw family but to also join Shadow Mountain and BlackPaw Mountain to create the biggest pack in North America.” The crowd cheered and clapped. Alpha Kelvin held up his hands and motioned for everyone to settle down. “Without further ado, Beta Karson please present Beta female KC Lena BlackPaw and Gamma female Kolby Shadow.”Karson escorted each female to her mate with pride and happiness. As he placed each girl’s hand into her mate’s, he placed a small kiss on their cheek and hugged them tightly. Next Alpha Kelvin presented Sofia and Kydence to each of their mate’s then he turned to face the pack family. Each male watched as their mate wa
