Kari's POVThere was a knock on my door. I didn't move from where I was sitting on the floor."Kari." Came my father's voice. It took me everything to hold down a sob. I hear him shuffling around outside. "I am so sorry my like peppercorn.""Pappa," I whispered."I wish I could bring your mother back. I wish I could change how everything happened. It broke my heart leaving you, but I can tell you, if my father had found out who she really was, he would have used her to get what he wanted. He would have made her life a living hell, and I wouldn't be surprised if he forcefully marked her. And God knows what he would have done to you." He whispered and I was sure he was crying. I put a hand on the door and sobbed. "I know you think I left you, but I had to, for your safety. I never knew how it would affect your mother. Being human, it shouldn't have affected her in such a way. But now I know, my leaving caused her more pain than I was aware of.""She was a wolf?" I asked through the door

Henrik's POV. I was starting to feel overwhelmed, so I couldn't imagine how Kari was feeling. After we had completed the blood bonds, to not speak of what Hela had told us, and after she had told us she didn't trust the Beta, I even became wary of him. When they completed the new bond to the king, with the use of any type of magic being able to affect it, the Beta's eyes flashed, but then in seconds his mask was back and he agreed to the blood bond. The king also included myself and my father in that blood bond. It was an honor to be included. The king had said we were now family and it was nothing. He also said that it would help with the protection of my sister. I sat back in my chair, everyone else had left, omega's showing the guests to their rooms to settle in, it had been a long night of travel for them, and a lot to process. I was worried about my sister. She had been so strong, and I was waiting for her to break. I was surprised she hadn't done it already, but from what I had

Unknown POV.I sat in a tree out of sight watching. She shouldn't be here. This isn't possible. The spell cast on her mother was supposed to kill any possibility of her being able to reproduce. So how was she here? The line of wolves should have been extinct. The son still had no heir and the daughter shouldn't have done either. So how is it possible that I am sitting here looking at a direct descendent of the Gealach (moon) wolves?When she was talking to that ignorant brat earlier, I watched as her eyes turned purple. The only wolves with purple eyes were the Gealach wolves, so it was undisputable that she was one.This wasn't supposed to happen. I was next to take the throne. My son was the rightful heir. All I needed to do was take out the Prince and watch the King and Queen suffer and I would have had my rightful place as the king of Wolves. Now I had to deal with this as well.Suddenly, purple eyes turned on me and looked straight at me. She knew where I was. She knew I was watc

Kari's POVI ran after my brother up the stairs, something was wrong and even Hela was ready to protect her newfound family."Son." Came our father's voice as we went into the Alpha Suite."Where is Ingrid?" He asked."We tried to get you via the link but you blocked us out. She is in labor. Your mother is with her, as is the Queen. We have contacted the Doctor, but he is in surgery and will be here as soon as he can." My brother's face went white and he ran into what I assumed was his room. My father turned to me. "She is only four months old, so it's a little early. But they are twins.""A little early. Five months is a little more than a little early," I declared. My father looked at me a little gone out before something obviously clicked in his head and he gave a little chuckle."Not to a werewolf, my little peppercorn." He said. "I know a human pregnancy is nine months, but a werewolf pregnancy is only five months. But being Alpha-blooded and twins, the pups are a little excited

Kari's POVI looked at Gamma Carlton and he smiled at me as the two just stood there staring at each other."You are seeing firsthand how the mate bond works." He said quietly only for me to hear. I smiled and stepped forward."Chloe, this is my brother Magnus." I smiled to her. What she said next shocked us all."You are my beloved?" She said. Gamma Carlton shot his head around so fast I was surprised his neck didn't snap."Beloved?" I asked him."You're Fae?""No, I am the illegitimate daughter of one of Triton's advisors." She muttered, anger flaring. "I am human other than having a few little extra senses. I never thought I would feel the bond though. I'm 27 and never came across them until now.""I always wanted to be a toy boy." Magnus grinned, moving towards her. At least I don't have to pretend to be human."I watched as she beamed and stepped into his arms. After a moment, she pulled away from him a look of something suddenly hitting her. She turned to me."You're a werewolf?
