Silas POV It had been four days since the pups arrived, Lillias still hasn’t woken from her coma that she slipped into before our daughter was born. The twins have their granny to keep them happy, Isla has been doing everything for them and laughed at me when I put a nappy on back to front. “She will wake when she’s ready Silas, calm down” Isla states, I was pacing the nursery again, I wanted my mate, “I’m going to see if anything’s changed” I inform her, Phillip said he would let me know, but even Scarlett hadn’t been speaking to Sax since just after, all this and we still had a war coming. Before I even got chance to open the door a link came through ‘Alpha, Alpha, Luna is awake!’ it was Phil, I looked at Isla, and my pups, “Isla, she’s awake” I shout as I run out the door. I kept running until I reached our private room, to see Phil shake his head at her, her eyes snap to mine, “Bonjour qui êtes-vous?” Lillias says, is she speaking French? Phillip l

**contains violence** Angus POV          ‘Mama, Papa, its time’ came Lillias voice into mine and Isla’s heads, we looked at each other before rushing over from Silas’ pack house where we had been playing an interesting game of backgammon. It took all of five minutes in wolf form, we ran while carrying our clothes in our mouths, not caring who saw us shift, we quickly get dressed and rush to be by our daughter’s side. As we get onto her floor, near the alpha suite, we hear a thud. Catching Phil’s eyes, he runs into the room as we rush in straight after. Seeing Lillias laughing while holding her swollen stomach looking towards the floor, where a passed-out Silas lays face down. Looking from Silas back to Lillias, seeing the bed and floor surrounding it wet, Isla bursts out laughing, while Silas’ beta and gamma look like they are about to piss themselves while holding their stomach buckled over crying with laughter. T

Rory POVI was sitting at home, in my parents palace when I felt my whole world crash and burn. The pain in my heart was shattering, then the connection to my father broke and more connections formed to alphas, either my father just passed the throne or… no he can’t, he’s fine. I concentrate on his face and try to link him, ‘papa? Come on stop playing I know you’re there’. Nothing came back, no connection, no he can’t be, there’s no chance he lost in the war.I felt my sister, Lill, open a connection but it wasn’t just to me ‘Alpha King Angus Robertson is dead, long live the new Alpha King, Goddess save the Alpha King Rory Robertson!’ She closed the link. The whole kingdom howled as I ran to my balcony, this can’t be true, I howl alongside them, not just for the loss of my King but my father, my confidant, my best friend.I’m not ready to rule a kingdom, I’m not ready to be king and I don’t think I ever will be. Walking back into my room, I lean against my wall, sinking to the floor.

Lillias POV continued… I watched as everyone suddenly stopped arguing and passing the blame, “Silas you don’t need to be here for this” Celeste’s lips turn up at the edges as she smirks opening a portal and basically pushing him though it. Before I get time to reach it, it closes so I turn towards Celeste absolutely raging with angry, why the hell did she do that? “well Lillias you certainly have my anger, lets see what we can find out”. With that Selene, Helios, Celeste, and Hades directed me to one of the many fountains in the realm, Selene swirled her finger in it pulling up Luna’s lycan. “Hmmm, this can not be”, looking rather annoyed she pointed back to Hades and Celeste “this one is on you two, Lillias is the queen of Alpha’s and because of your stupid argument over a million ago now she is mated to the King of Lycans aswell! How can she be Queen to two species, cousin species or not, they live in two different realms!” Hades looked lost in thought, before he spoke, “what is th
