The guard at the entrance of our wing opened the large door, Cinnabar speeding up to get to our door faster. He stopped before our suite and let me off his back, changing back. The moment the door opened we were one one another.
We fell onto the bed, and I sat in his lap straddling him. Gerwulf pulled back to catch his breath, and I rubbed the tip of our noses together," Ich liebe dich." I flushed a bit still not used to being able to express the words. He gripped my hips tightly coaxing that moan out of me finally.
"Ich liebe dich auch," he cooed out making my heart hammer. It was still hard to accept the person I'd pined over as a child actually loving me as an adult. Bringing us together through the mate bond had been a blessing by the goddess. Gazing into his amber eyes was something I could never get tired of.
I smiled pulling us back together as I tried undoing the clasps of my bra before removing my layers. He chu
Tension had been thick the last few weeks between Ash Walker and Mountain Crawler. Jade found out she was having a male pup and neither Alpha could agree on if Simon truly deserved to know. A first born son was highly coveted with wolves. Ross wanted to tell him and beat him within an inch of his life for not even so much as apologizing for leaving her without a goodbye. Gerwulf wanted to keep it a secret until Jade decided the time was right.Beth and I had both stepped up in our duties as Luna and Beta female. More pack members meant more mouths to feed and housing to be provided. Plans had started when it came to diving the defunct pack's territories. Ross wanted the northern borders with the higher mountain ranges. Forrest wanted the eastern areas to connect to where he'd securely hidden his coven.Gerwulf seems so apathetic about the entire ordeal. Any mention of where Delmar, Hylda, or Finn were being kept he just shrugged off. At one
"Please don't miss," Beth panicked handing me a small trash can from across the car.I grasped the plastic container like my life depended on it and emptied the contents of my stomach. Nothing in the last two weeks had managed to stay down. She carefully placed a hand on my shoulder like she was afraid of breaking me."Please say we're almost there," I whined as another round of nausea hit me like a truck."We're coming up on the pack border now Luna," Jeremiah, one of the pack warriors answered. He and another warrior, Sam were the escorts for the day. Jade was due sometime this week and we wanted to be there for her.Julian hadn't returned within a week and I began to panic once that time turned to three. Something had happened that Robin and Gerwulf wouldn't talk to me about. When Ross had called and informed us Jade would pop any day now Gerwulf suggested I play role as Luna and stay for support.
"You did such a good job," Simon protectively held the little bundle of fabric. He gazed down totally fixated on every aspect of his son. He sat on the edge of the bed, giving Jade a look that seemed like love. Realization seemed to hit him and he quickly hid it," do you need anything?" He held out his arms carefully handing the baby over."Water... maybe something other than hospital food?" Jade forced a smile. Simon kept his gaze on her for a moment more before getting up. We all moved for him to exit."Well," Matthias spoke almost demanding. Jade rolled her eyes," well what?""Don't be shy! Show us the baby!" Matthias retorted and we all roared into a fit of laughter. A smile slowly spread across Jade's face and she seemed to relax. The little multicolored fabric fell as she held her baby up for all of us to see. A mound of jet black hair stuck out in every direction, and a pair of ice blue eyes peeked out through mos
"Do we have to go back?" Simon's voice came out shaky."Alpha's orders," I offered him a sympathetic smile. We had only gotten to stay an additional four days before Gerwulf had called us back.I helped Beth get Demeter into her seat while she was packing away all her bags. The sounds of Simon and Jade whispering was hard to ignore from behind me. He reached out grabbing onto her arms and pulling her in for a tight hug. The lycan looked shocked but only momentarily as she gripped him back tightly."This isn't good," Beth spoke up. I tried my best not to let out a scream and scare the pup next to me at the sudden sound. No matter how many times I've told her not to do this she always does."Y-Yeah," I cleared my throat quietly and closed the door," maybe we should say something to the boys or Gerwulf? Can't imagine Anais is going to be too happy if she catches them like this ever."
"I'll talk to my mom and see what she can do," Gerwulf was muttering to himself as he walked in circles around the room.I was left to sit on our bed and think to myself. Julian was missing. This pregnancy just hit a difficult point. Right now I needed some serious comfort and reassurance I knew was going to be hard to come by."Come on," Gerwulf broke me out of my thoughts. He picked me up into his strong embrace carrying me bridal style."Where are we going?" I sighed. Bed was what I wanted."To see my mom. I can't just stand here and remain composed like usual. We need to try to do something... see if she can give us any insight that a traditional doctor can't," he more or less sounded as if speaking to himself. His eyes looked dazed as he hurriedly took us through the halls of Harvest Moon. They hadn't had a court witch in over twenty years because of Gerwulf's conception. The moment Hylda came i
My eyes shot open as a loud thump woke me from my sleep. I sat up straight to look for the source of the sound, only to squint in pain at the feeling of sunlight in my eyes. Gerwulf was staring at me from the floor wide eyed almost in terror. The sheets barely covered him as he scrambled back. "El?" his voice was husky and uneasy."Who else would I be?" I raised my brow and carefully scooted to his side of the bed, staring at him.Gerwulf ran his fingers through his blood red locks and rubbed his eyes. He repeated his actions enough to let me know what he was trying to do. "Sweetheart..." my voice trembled slightly," are you alright? I'm still going to be me no matter how much you rub at your eyes. What's wrong?""You don't look like yourself," my mate quickly spoke. He dropped his hands down to the sheet trying to cover his bare body," I thought I woke up next to a corpse!" His voice raising a bit too much in panic.
WARNING - THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A GRAPHIC DEATHWilling my feet to move was near impossible. The agonizing screams filled the air along with the thick fog of smoke. Wolves were swarming the clashing groups of vampires. Quickly the open fields and streets of the town were crowded. It was horrid seeing that so many bodies were present people were fighting side by side with the lack of room. The pungent smell of copper being carried in the wind.I had to grab onto the doorway to keep myself from falling over as my knees began shaking watching the scene unfold. Gerwulf's fire was high in the air licking the fabric of the cloaks the royal blue vampires wore. I watched one by one as they were set ablaze letting out guttural screams of agony.Who was even attacking us and why? A sickening feeling was creeping into my soul saying it had to do with the person that Anais had mentioned. But why? I had never even he
Julian gently lifted me up into his arms, holding me protectively to his chest. I gripped the tatters of his shirt tightly as I tried to ignore the glare of the wolf across from us. Gerwulf was fuming, and based off the red tint slowly taking over his skin it was just moments until he actually was. "Keep your hands to yourself," Gerwulf growled out."Do you really think she's even going to be willing for anything like that after what happened last night?" Julian growled back at him.Gerwulf took a step forward, getting close enough I could feel the heat as his body temperature rapidly rose," she's not the one I don't trust.""Please stop talking about me like I'm not here," I glared between them both," I just really want to get out of here."Julian and Gerwulf kept their eyes locked until they both let out a deep breath and finally separated. The tension in the air stayed thick as he carefully left t
