The new normal. “Get some sleep.” Lorrel says as she takes both babies off me. I had been stitched and told that I now couldn’t leave bed until at least lunch time. Leona was born at 12.02am, it would seem she wanted her own birthday after all. I would be forever be indebted to Brennan and Colette for all that they have done. Just as I start to drift off the door opens and her scent enters. My wolf, who was tired but she is more present now that we are no longer pregnant, growls as Felicity walks over to Leona. She watches her intently for a few moments before seemingly happy with what she sees. This tradition had to stop, what would they do if a baby wasn’t a lycan? Toss it out onto the streets, absolutely not! So what was this necessary. “A beautiful princess, congratulations my King and Queen….and a lycan she-wolf hybrid by the looks of things.” She nods having checked Leona’s eyes flash to that of her wolf’s. I noticed my daughter’s eyes as soon as I held her, bright blue ju

A High Priestess.“Axel, Brennan, watch the babies!” I order as I leap out of bed and rush out the bedroom door. I race along the hallway and down the stairs towards the living room. “Miss Aida!” She happily greets me as she is sitting in front of the television watching a princess film with Lorrel. “I just found her in here…” Lorrel shrugs until she takes in my appearance and stands up. “What’s is it?” “The witches are at war. Fern can’t protect Olivia anymore.” I whisper to her. “Goddess, where’s Fern?” “I don’t know, she’s just evaporated into thin air. I think she has sided with her sister.” My hand grips my forehead, a headache suddenly coming on from this unexpected change in events. “Let me call the high priestess Danika, she’ll give us a good indication of what has transpired.” “The child?” Lance’s voice enters my mind. “She’s fine, she’s watching television.” I respond through the mind-link as I hear Lance walk down the hallway. “Let’s not panic Lance until we know w

Trying to get ready. His back straightens before his entire body stiffens, knowing my eyes are on him. He closes the bedroom door before turning to look at me. I meet his stare, I am no longer his little sister, I am his Queen. He doesn’t move from his spot and neither do I, until Olivia runs out and holds my hand. “Aida, I have a whole room to myself!” She beams up at me before looking at the person who has captured my interest. His eyes widen as his mate’s daughter holds her hand in mine. “Who is that?” She whispers to me and I just answer her with a small smile. What would I say? That is your mother’s mate, your stepfather? Lance steps outside of the room, carrying both Lex and Leona, who remain sleeping in his strong secure arms. Henri’s eyes drift down to the nephew and niece, the heirs, asleep in my mate’s arms. He takes a small step towards us and it is enough for Lance to order both myself and Olivia into our room and he closes the door behind him. “Just ignore him ang

Under attack!Another boom shakes the alpha house’s sturdy brick walls, that sounded closer this time. “Lance?” I scream through our link as Lorrel and guards rush through the door. “We are under attack, stay in the alpha house!” He orders at me as I feel pain hit me through the link. “Lance?”“They’ve broken through the border, lock down the house with you and the twins inside!” He commands before he cuts the link. No I wasn’t that type of mate, I wasn’t useless. He’ll call me reckless but would he stand aside and let me get injured, no! So why should it be any different for me. I was just as good as any of the lycans fighting out there and more talented with my skills than the majority of the werewolf fighters. “Aida…what’s going on?” Lorrel demands of me as my eyes refocus from coming out of the mind-link with Lance. “Lance says rebels have broken through the borders!” I update her before I rush into the next room and pick up a sleeping Olivia and carry her back into our bed.

Joining the fight. Where had they all come from, where were they being hidden? As soon as we think we have sorted out the rebel rogue problem, more seem to pop up out of nowhere. “Reform a line!” Lance roars out his order at both the lycan and werewolf fighters trying to hold off the rebel invasion. If we make it through this, the Saunders pack will need a lot of support rebuilding their houses, replanting trees and burying their dead. “Aida…” He growls at me, his eyes turning from red to a black. “I can’t leave you, not now I’ve seen this!” I couldn’t leave him, I couldn’t just go back and hide in a room. I had to help, I had to fight for our children. “You stick next to me, Axel and Mav.” He orders and I nod in agreement to his terms. “I mean it angel!” He pulls me closely to him, to his chest. The fast movement makes me dizzy and I have to place my hands on his chest to stop myself from stumbling. “Got it!” I whisper to him, tiptoeing and just managing to plant a kiss on his
