Isabella P.O.V. Last night was so much fun, after we dealt with Elijah’s crazy mother and the power hungry Captain Ford. Alex mind-linked me how the former Captain had looked at Jenna, and I decided to be there when Elijah would appoint a new Captain later today. I wanted to get a feel of him or her before they got their promotion, and Elijah agreed with me when I relayed what Alex had said, as we got ready for bed. I had not found it necessary to inform him before and ruin the night.We had enjoyed ourselves immensely, and the pack had been so sweet and welcoming to me and the others. Dale and Ashton had been one big smile from the start to finish, and I hoped they had utilized their night time with the girls and made them theirs completely. They both deserve happiness. “Baby, are you ready to go down for breakfast? We need to get down there before Alex and Jenna leave.” Elijah calls from the bedroom. “Yes, give me two more minutes.” I call back, and I hear him chuckle in response
Elijah P.O.V. Dale keeps looking at Ashlee as if she will disappear if he doesn't keep an eye on her, and I must admit I know the feeling. I squeeze Isabella closer to me, taking in her scent and calming myself. I can’t believe the extent of my mother’s betrayal. I would have accepted it if she had kept it to the Caroline situation, as me and Isabella managed to solve it, but to change her fixation to Dale and Ashton, who is not even her own child, and take both their mates away out of pure spite. I’ll have to do something. I have to act and ensure the safety of my pack members! We are going to be a different pack with me as Alpha and my beautiful mate as Luna. She doesn’t care about species! Her concern is with the individual, and I have to agree. This purist bullshit has to stop at one point. I don’t know why we have beef with the local coven, but I actually have an idea, and I do not like it one bit. In my heart I ha
Alex P.O.V. I’m not exactly thrilled to leave my sister when all of this is going down, but I know when she says to go, then don’t argue with her. She’ll be fine, and Elijah will take care of her. He’s been better to her the short time they have been together, than I have been the last eight years. I shake my head, trying to push the dark thoughts from my head. I need to stop blaming myself. I was a kid, and the adults around me should have made it clear that what the Alpha was doing was wrong, but no one wanted to go against him. I know I should have done more when I grew older, because I knew what we were doing - or rather not doing, was wrong in every sense of the word. But then it was too late, and Isabella was already pushed so far from me, I couldn’t ever see myself getting on her good side again. Luckily for me, my sister is a way better person than anyone I know, and she forgave me. Now I just have to forgive myself, and that seems to be much more difficult than first antici
Isabella P.O.V. After an afternoon filled with unbelievable pleasure, and more orgasms than I couldn’t ever have dreamt of, Elijah and I emerged to dinner that evening. We were both furrowly satisfied and relaxed, having enjoyed each other for hours. Our mind-linkes had been off, but Dale got a message through to us by having an Omega knock on the bedroom door. Lucky for him, we were at a break and he delivered a written note through a crack at the door. I had laughed myself silly at Elijah’s displeased look. The note told us Alex had been in contact with him when neither of us had answered his mind-link attempt or answered our phones. I checked immediately, and he was right. I had five unanswered calls, and Elijah had four. The note said to call as soon as we got the message, and Dale told us he would be home with Ashton and the girls around dinner time. I called Alex, and we agreed to do a conference call after dinner - so here we are. “Hi guys.” I greet them when we enter the d
Isabella P.O.V.“Mmmh, Elijah.. I’m going to.. Oh goddess. Mmh.” I moan, as Elijah pumps in and out of me in the shower. I actually went in there myself to get cleaned after he took me three times the night before, and I was too exhausted to even contemplate taking a shower. I still smelled deliciously like sex this morning, but I didn’t think it was a good idea to reek of it when we have important business to attend to today. After about five minutes though, Elijah joined me, and one thing led to me being taken against the wall. “Come for me like the good girl you are, baby.” He pinches my clit with his hand, bending down and licking my mark. “Oh, fuck!” I scream as my body quivers with the orgasms that tores through me. Elijah smirks, sliding out of me and bending me over the shower bench instead. He enters swiftly, fucking me without mercy. I love the man to bits, but I was kinda hoping I would be able to walk today - guess not. “Mmmh. Your pussy is so tight for me, Isa. So, tig
Isabella P.O.V. “I’m sorry, Selene. Grandmother. But where the fuck was this information when you watched me shift the first time? Is this why my mother did not die in that attack? Because it was an actual attack, right? I know she says it wasn’t. That it was planned. But it was, wasn’t it?” Selene smiles. “You’ve always been a clever one. Yes, the attack was real. I saved her and returned her to her true mate. They deserved to have their happiness ever after.” I nod, my head spinning. Then something hits me like a ton of bricks. “But why me? Alex is my twin. He must have the same blood as me. He is as much a candidate to be King as I am to be Queen?” Selene chuckles. “Yes and no. Alex is your younger twin, which makes him eligible to be King if you somehow die, which I do not recommend. And then there is your handsome mate there.” I growl, not liking her calling him that no matter how accurate it is, and no matter how much she is still my goddess. She raised an eyebrow. “As I was
Elijah P.O.V. The meeting goes forward after we agree who is going to be Captain and Second in command. When they are signed, they both leave with the promise of me and Isabella coming this afternoon, maybe early evening to announce the change in ranking to the guard. Until then they both have to pretend to know nothing, which they are both fine with. The real question today is what the fuck we are going to do with my mother, and how we are going to approach the Covens - both witch and vampire. I also have to reach out to the nearby packs and introduce myself, gauging how they react to my new title. This is going to be such a stressful time, but right now I just enjoy having my gorgeous mate sitting on my lap, stroking my knuckles in mindless circles, while the others discuss the best plan of action. Half an hour later someone knocks on the door, and Isabella jumps to her feet, smiling as she reaches the door and opens it. Outside is one of the new recruits, and I can see Isabella
Isabella P.O.V. It’s been a week since we met with the Coven leaders, and Selene surprised us in the conference room. The week has on one side been long and tedious with endless meetings, and phone calls for various Alpha’s - either asking to meet, swearing us allegiance on the phone, or swearing to dethrone us and make sure the world is ‘set right’. We have been taking nightly runs in our wolf forms, making sure Emerald and Fenris have some mate time, and build their bond strong. We also apologized to them for neglecting them, and promised to remember to let them have time at least once a week, when times are hectic. It’s important we remember all aspects of the matebond.I also called Alex on the evening of the impromptu crowning. He was surprised to say the least, and we agreed we need to meet with Luna Michelle and hear what she has to say to all of this. We also need to know where she and her mate stand on this issue of the rebellion, and make sure they understand the situation
