Maturity Warning: Sexual Content, MFF, GLRyder’s POV“Freya, what’s wrong?” I ask, reaching out and pulling her to my arms as she seems dazed.“I just didn’t expect my father or mother to have so many secrets, I had a half-brother and Phoenix is my niece, my brother is dead,” Freya quietly answers while burying her face in my chest, as Liliana takes Anarchy to Jonathan with Aiden following.“Come here, I’ve got you,” I hold Freya tighter, realizing how fragile she feels through our bond.“You’re not alone in this. Family secrets are hard and it doesn’t help you are royalty,” I softly speak before kissing the top of her head, feeling her tremble in my arms.I gently rub her back doing my best to comfort her the same I would do Liliana. Right now, Freya needs to know, despite her lack of biological family, she does have Liliana, our pups, and me.“I don’t care that Orin kept secrets, I just wish I knew I had family… maybe if I knew my half-brother, I could have helped him instead of my

“You two look gorgeous,” I compliment my mates, my chest burst with pride seeing both of their marks completely exposed for everyone to see, our bond is complete. “So do you,” Freya gives me a warm smile, wrapping her arms around my bare torso and kissing her mark on my right shoulder. “You feeling any better?” Liliana questions, as her arms snake around Freya’s waist and I smile, happy to see both of them so relaxed and content with each other. Part of me always wondered how Osric and Embry shared Raven, but now I understand, they didn’t just share her, but each other as well. “Quite a bit. I just need to focus on us, this family I’m building for myself with you two,” Freya answers with the sweetest most genuine smile, as her eyes sparkle when she looks back at Liliana. “Good, never be afraid to tell us what you need, we will always be here for you,” I softly speak while grabbing her hand in mine leading our way out of the room towards the stairs. “Aunty Freya!” Phoenix calls ou

“I fucking love your kilt,” I smile seeing Embry come out of the closet with his kilt on, carrying a pair of boots.“Damn, so do I,” Jonathan chuckles, as he leans back with Gunnar, checking out Embry’s ass.“Embry always looks good in his kilt and tunic,” Osric admits, walking into the closet wearing a pair of black woolens, as I am already in my dress and swaying with Roan in my arms.“Look at your Dadas, they all look so handsome,” I softly speak to my daughter, as I check out Jonathan who is wearing a pair of suede leather pants with one of Embry’s black tunics, leaving it open at the top.“Of course, we do, we wouldn’t dream of making Mumma look bad, we all know she likes to walk out there with some man candy on her arm,” Embry jokes, sitting on the lounge as he begins to pull his fur rimmed boots on.“Damn right I do, I love showing off what’s mine,” I admit with flushed cheeks, as Osric comes out shirtless with a pair of black leather boots in hand that are similar to Jonathan’

“Dinner is ready, the head table is set for you, your family, and your guest… oh my looks like our future is going to be strong with these pups,” Bjorn walks over to inform us of the feast getting started. “It really will be, I’ve never seen any children shift so young as the twins, let alone Aiden shifting so instinctively,” Osric agrees while standing and holds his hand out for me. “Thank you, Bjorn, it is amazing to watch them like this and to be able to run around so freely. I remember shifting young and having to hide it, to see out people accept it and enjoy watching them play is incredible,” I admit, watching our warriors talking and pointing to the pups while chuckling at their antics. “The pups will always be safe here, no one would dare touch or hurt any of them, they’re all children of Alphas, and they’re just pups,” Bjorn admits while leading our way to a central table that’s in front of all the rest covered in tons of different foods. I smile watching Jonathan and Embr

“Nervous about tomorrow?” Jonathan questions as I toss and turn in bed feeling overheated and stressed out about the Luna ceremony tomorrow night. “Yeah, but I can usually sleep through being nervous. It’s got to be the full moon, I feel hot too,” I admit, looking down to see Embry’s hands gripping my hips tighter as he grinds himself against Jonathan in his sleep. “Are you sure it isn’t more, these two are getting very handsy,” Jonathan quietly laughs while looking down to see Embry’s hand reaching into his boxers. “I don’t think so, I don’t feel like I’m in heat, these two are always ready to go,” I admit while resting my head on Jonathan’s chest trying to get comfortable, but his body feels so hot like he is a furnace on high. “They’re not the only ones,” Jonathan teases, running his fingers through my hair brushing it to one side. I take a deep breath and sit, noticing his scent is a lot stronger than it has been since he’s been home. “What is it?” Jonathan questions looking
