The twins and I were released from hospital a week later and it was so good to finally be home. And the staff was all there to greet us and welcome us home. But I saw them all giving Asher sideways glances while he was holding one of the baby capsules. " Listen, I owe everyone here an apology. I know that I wasn't myself while Luna Ivy was gone. And I am really sorry about that. I swear I will do whatever it takes to make it up to you. You don't need to be scared of me anymore. She's home now and I am complete with my girls' home." Asher announced to the staff. And I could tell how genuine he was and so could they. A lot of them physically relaxed afterwards. " It is so good to be home and to see you all again." I say to everyone. " Come on. You need to see the girls' room. We've been busy working on it while you've been in hospital." Asher says. So we walked up to the third floor and the room next to Connor's room was done up completely in pink with two cots and two more of ev

When we got back to the packhouse Zara had put Connor down for a nap and the twins were sleeping as well. They were actually pretty good sleepers for newborns. At least, during the day they were. I headed up to the bedroom and I flopped down on the mattress and I got comfortable trying to get some rest before the kids woke up again but then Asher came in and laid on the bed next to me. " Stop staring at me." I say through closed eye lids. " How did you know that I was staring?" He asked. " Because I am psychic." I say sarcastically. And then I felt his lips run along my forehead and he started trailing kisses down the side of my face. He got all the way to my neck and he kissed my mark which enticed a little moan out of me. " Stop that. I want to get some rest." I say. " Me too. But I've been waiting for this alone time for weeks." He says leaning closer to me and trailing kisses along my jawline until he reached my mouth. He rolled me on my back and he was half lying on

ONE LAST BATTLE I felt the ground beneath my paws and it felt incredible. This is the first time I have shifted since before I got pregnant. It was more painful than I was used to but I did it with ease. I didn't want the warriors to have any doubts in me. If they thought that I had trouble shifting then they might have thought that I wasn't up for the battle. I needed to be a leader. No matter how much anything hurt. And it really did hurt. 'Are you alright?' Asher asked. 'Yeah. A little breathless. But the pain will stop in a moment.' I replied. Asher waited a few moments before I looked up at the sky and I recognised the surroundings, the feeling of the earth, the feeling of the moon approaching the sky and I let out a howl indicating that the time was now. Asher and I started running straight off into the woods and all warriors followed us. Spreading out in formation like they were taught. We had back up warriors but they were a little far away if we needed them immediate

We got the witch's bodies off of our territory and buried them in an open field that wasn't too far away. And Asher and I cleaned up a little bit before we opened the shelter and let everyone out. There were some very tearful eyes as those women knew that their mates were killed. And I did my best to comfort them. But there was nothing that could help the loss of a mate. And Zara and Freya came out with the kids. Asher and I took the kids so they could go find Beau and Cole and Fiona was the last one to come out. She was looking really sullen and upset. I knew that there was more going on with her then she was letting on. People had blamed her in the shelter for their mates deaths. Saying that she bought the witch's here. I knew that it wasn't the case. I knew that everything they said was out of grief. They needed someone to blame and she was the easiest target. I comfort Fiona in the house until Axel arrives but I don't tell him what happened. Fiona didn't even tell me what happ

IVY'S DREAM I remember falling asleep really quickly being completely exhausted after chasing after three kids all day but when I opened my eyes, I was in this place that I couldn't explain. It was completely white. There was nothing there and I was wearing a white flowing dress down to my ankles that I had never seen before in my life. I was lying on the ground but I got up as fast as I could with my growing baby bump in front of me. I felt like I was dreaming, but it also felt like I was wide awake. " Hello." I sang out. But I just heard my own voice echoing. So I started walking, I had no destination in sight because everything looked the same. I was walking aimlessly trying to figure out what this place was. " Am I dead?" I asked myself. Wondering if maybe there was an accident or something that I couldn't remember. " No my child. You're not dead." A voice says from behind me. So I spun around quickly to see a women standing there in a similar white flowing dress. There wa
