Claire’s POVI wasn’t looking forward to moving, I have the perfect excuse to literally do nothing.We are laying in bed after a brief showing at the party, choosing to spend our night looking at our twins, making plans, and of course making love.We know they are boys, so I was able to design the perfect nursery for them.“That’s a lot of gray,” Liam smirked, looking at the room I designed.“Just in case the next one is a girl,” I smile at him.“Pumpkin, I know having a girl is important to you, but the men in my family haven’t produced a girl in 2000 years. Seriously, we are all males.”“But, we are special,” I smile at him.“I hate to see you chase the dream of a girl, only to be disappointed and us have 20 boys.”“Well, at the rate we are going, we could have 20 before I’m 30.” I laugh.“That’s too much on your body, I’ll get a vasectomy first.” He looks up at the ceiling thinking too hard.“If I have a chance at a girl, I’ll keep having babies until my body literally quits.” I rol
Nic’s POVWe are on the way to Liam and Claire’s Alpha/Luna ceremony. And Grace won’t shut up.“I mean, why do we need a sit down three course dinner. The guests want to mingle and hook up, not sit for hours eating cardboard food. Wouldn’t traveling hors d'oeuvres be better?”“Grace, Mom just wants the traditional ceremony, why can’t you get on board?”“Urrrrrr, she picks at everything. My dress is too short, it’s the wrong color, my choice of music is too brash, my song for us is completely inappropriate. It’s one week away and it’s all her, none of its us.”“Grace, what of your ideas is us? It’s all you, you need to remember you are Luna, so our pack colors, a semi-modest dress, music that we can dance to, but not booty pop to, is called for. Why can’t you see that?”“Don’t talk to me anymore.” Finally, silence!We pull up to the packhouse and my brother is at the door waiting.“Finally, a Wallace I like,” Grace says, getting out of the car and throwing her arms around Liam.Liam rai
Claire’s POVKassandra Byatt is minutes away! I trained with her, briefly, before I got my wolf and she taught me so much about combat and fighting. I just want to fangirl every time I see her. She is the most amazing warrior. She is bringing with her Alpha Edward, her mate, Alpha Garrett, Luna Rita, and their twins GJ and Gracie. Also joining us are Alpha James, his Luna Erin of Silver Creek, Alpha Chris of Blue Moon, Alpha Rex of Sandhills. Liam and I are standing with Trevor and Stephanie on our front steps to welcome the new arrivals.“Claire Wallace, can’t see over a counter, but is now over seeing an entire pack? Have you grown at all since the last time I saw you?” Kass teases getting out of her car.“Very funny, I got a little bigger round the middle,” I show off my baby bump. She smiles as a man wraps an around her waist.This is Alpha Edward of Blood Moon. He is cruel and harsh. Everyone respects him and some like me are afraid of him.“And your Alpha is so huge. Wanna trade?
William’s POVWhile I can’t believe he was so irresponsible to get his mate pregnant, I am so proud today of my oldest son.Today, he was sworn in as Alpha of his own pack. Why built his own pack? We couldn’t agree on changes he wanted to make. My son said to me “I love you dad and it’s not worth fighting. Let me move and start my own pack.”While I don’t agree with his liberal policies, they aren’t harmful. He will make a great Alpha. As he is taking his oath, my throat constricts.My son, now an Alpha.Then my attention shifts to the beautiful women on the stage. How is she a woman? Yesterday I was cradling her as she said ‘dadadadada’ over and over again. Her little hand wrapping around my finger. Her father had just died by the same hand she held, but she trusted me completely. No whimper or shutter. The moment I saw baby Claire, my heart was gone. I’d never be the same. She was destined to be my daughter. There she stands, so beautiful, my heart is full of pride. Not the shy littl
Liam’s POVWe are merciful, soft, decent, kind. These are how dumbasses describe the Wallace Alphas. That is until they cross us. Most Alphas know the truth of us. I wasn’t sure I was ready for Claire to see this side of me, but as my Luna and mother of my sons, she should know. We are ruthless when you threaten us, our family, or our happiness.My father, brothers, and I removed our jackets and shirts before going into the cell. Claire had changed into leggings and a tank top.“You sure about this, Pumpkin?” I asked again. Running a hand through her now loose hair. “It’s going to seem sadistic and cruel.”“I worked with Daddy and Nic on hostile rouges that year you were away. I’m not as innocent as you to seem to think.” She mused, leaning into my hand. I noticed her eyes turn black.Nic and Dad smirked at me.Dad put a prideful arm around her, “She’s an Alpha son, she is a natural at this.”Luke and Cullen nod at me and we 6 walk to Marcus’s holding cell. Trevor is already there prep
Grace’s POVFinally, our ceremony is here. Finally, I will be Luna and Anna can’t override me! Finally, Claire and I will be evenly ranked. Finally, everyone is out of the Alpha House and Nic and I are alone. FINALLY!I’m sitting in Claire’s old room, which I converted into my personal changing room and closet. I may not be the sweetest she-wolf, the smartest, or even the most beautiful, but I will be the best dressed.“Hello, sister friend?” I hear Claire sing, as she comes into the room.“How has you belly gotten so much bigger in a week?” I ask, seeing a now clear baby bump. She played host to Edward and Kassandra and then it was my turn. Rita and Garrett had stayed at Blue Mountain training them.Edward was nothing but complementary of both packs' warriors, and extremely impressed with Claire’s hosting skills. I hope mine have lived up to standards.“Twin Alphas and I’m small, so it shows faster.” She smiles.“It’s cute, you have a perfectly cute baby bump. And I have two zits on m
Claire’s POVI spend my days helping plan events for the first school year at Blue Mountain. We plan trips for kids to museums, zoos, planetariums, and a play. I work with the teachers, as they plan curriculums, making sure they have the resources they need to teacher properly.Liam works to supply the money. And he is doing a great job. He is also training daily. I’m a little concerned because he is bulking up too much.“Liam, I just don’t want you too big. I'm small and I don’t want you to break me.” I giggle at him, as he wraps his arms around me.“I will always be gentle with my Pumpkin,” he leans all the way down to my neck. “I love you so much.”“I think I love you more,” I batt my eyes.“Impossible,” he says, claiming my lips. We start getting heated and I’m unbuckling his pants. We are in the common room of the Packhouse, but I don’t care, I need him. He moves us to a closet, and we start going hot and hard. I’m braced against the wall, my legs stretched to the other wall, Liam
Claire’s POVMy brothers are officially 18! And for once, the early mate bond didn’t fail. Tonight, we will go to a party to officially announce Cullen and Mable and Luke and Sable as mates to the pack.Mable requested a special song for her and Cullen, but won’t tell anyone what it is. I love the glint in her eyes. She has something up her sleeve and I am excited for it.The four of them have visited often on the weekends. Getting to know Mable and Sable has been exciting. They have helped with the nursery and several Luna duties.Cullen and Luke spend their time training with Liam. I also feel like Liam is sharing pack information between the twins and Trevor, as Daddy suggested.“Liam, are you going to name Cullen and Luke as our twins and pack’s guardians if something happens during the challenge?” I ask him, as we drive back to Mountain Peak for the announcement party.“I have a will written, I was going to share it with you closer in, but yes Cullen and Luke will be the guardians
