~Valentina~Why isn't she awake? It has been seven days, and Hazel's heart sounds weak. Our family doctor came right after she closed her eyes to insert a catheter, hook her up to a heart monitor, and put her on oxygen to take the stress off of her body. Doctor Green said it would most likely take her longer than most to wake because of the amount of neutralizer in her system, but she needed it from both of us to complete the bond. There was no other way, but I'm getting scared. What if something goes majorly wrong? Werewolves have more than one mate all the time, but they always recover quickly after being marked.Tae is beginning to get anxious too. I know he is trying to be strong and positive for me, but we can sense something isn't right. I hate leaving Hazel's side because Lucas doesn't understand these things yet, and we won't let him come into our room while Hazel is in a coma. Thankfully, Tae and I can take turns sitting with her most of the time, but he can't always put work

~Octavius~This can't be the man who cared for me for over half of my life. He has never given me a reason not to trust him, but now has shown the utmost disrespect. I'll be sure to get the answers I need before I snap his neck. Niko opens the cell for me as I put on gloves."You're making a mistake! You should have rejected her!" Doctor Green is sweating profusely."Why the hell would we reject our mate? The Fates made her for us for a reason." It seems I won't have to beat the information out of him."The prophecy! She said I must kill her!" I don't even recognize him. His eyes are cold, and his body is fidgeting."Who said it? What is the prophecy?" It has to be a witch. I wish he would get to the fucking point."It's a Tribrid. She's here to ensure Hazel dies. If I do not execute it, she will kill me!" I feel my heart sink into my stomach. How did a Tribrid get into my territory? A Tribrid is the last being I would want to deal with, but I will do anything to protect our people an

~Hazel~Even as a Lycan, Tae takes his time. For obvious reasons, I assumed a quick 'doggy style' was the go-to position when they make love in their animalistic form. What I didn't expect was Tae licking the holy hell out of my hoo-ha. This is a contradicting feeling for me. It's a cross between weird as fuck and gooder than a goddamn. I don't even care if gooder isn't a word. It should be! It might be nasty, but I won't deny the pleasure that rolls through my body. For shame, for shame.Val is right beside my head, touching herself. The sexual aroma is driving me wild. Her smell was enticing before I became a Lycan, but now? My mouth is watering for a taste of her. My senses heightened beyond anything I imagined.I need to taste you, Val. Your scent is making me crazy. A small whimper escapes me. I can tell Val prefers staying in her human body the majority of the time. I think I'll be more comfortable in that form as well.She stops touching herself and straddles my head, facing Ta

~Valentina~Hazie was able to relax after I told her Ryan was safe. He's Queen Emilia and King Cassius's personal servant, so I know he gets treated with respect. His blood is not used to feed, but apparently, their daughter, Catherine, likes to play with him. That means Catherine uses him to satisfy her sexual needs and sends him away, but Emilia said Ryan doesn't mind. Catherine is a stunning young female, so it's no surprise that he is willing to oblige. Hazie laughed when I told her about Ryan being a sex toy for the king and queen's daughter."At least he isn't being tortured, and he seems happy in that territory. Anything is better than Mortal Grounds." She was never a fan of her home territory, but now that she is educated on how they function, she hates it. The leaders she once respected are now at the top of her shit list.Today, Hazie starts her training. If the vision she experienced is coming soon, we need to ensure we prepare her for it. The problem she mainly needs to wo

~Octavius~After five hours of hard labor, Carlie delivered a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Demi Camryn Storm. She is so tiny, much smaller than Lucas was when he was born. Unfortunately, my dad won the bet. Ash passed out once Carlie started to push. I heard her call him a worthless cow from down the hallway. He will never live this down. Thankfully, Hazel splashed water in his face and woke him up in time for Demi to be born so he could tend to Carlie the way she needed him to. Now, we're giving Carlie and Demi time to sleep after the long night they've had. Ash is unable to sleep, so he has Demi swaddled in his arms. Val and Hazel went to bed about fifteen minutes ago. I can tell they went straight to sleep, for which I am grateful."Are you sure you don't want to get some sleep while Demi is sleeping?" He remembers how Val and I barely rested after Lucas was born, so I'm surprised he isn't taking advantage of the opportunity."I can't. I would have to put my baby down. Anything
