Chase POV"How are you feeling, mate?" I whispered as Kiera's eyes slowly opened."Exhausted." She pouted, and I wanted to wash it all away."I'm sorry, love. I don't want to cause you pain.""Hmm, I know." She turned on her back and yawned while stretching her arms. She looked so damn sexy.A knock came at the door, and I jumped up to grab the food. I alerted our staff that we needed it the second she began stirring."You need to eat, Cherie. It's not good..." Kiera snatched the plate of food from my hands and began tearing into it like a beast."Goddess, I'm starving." She mumbled with a mouth full of Chicken."Well, you have eaten in over 24 hours." I chuckled, watching my perfect little wolf devour a whole chicken."What?""You woke the other night with your heat. It subsided quickly, but you passed out for a whole day. The doctor often checked your vitals and our son's health. A few hours ago, he said you were fully healed and surprisingly stronger than ever.""Is that normal?" S
Chase POV"What?" I shouted as I picked up the phone."What? Are you fucking kidding me?" River shouted back at me. He and Drake were both on a video call from separate rooms and covered in sweat. They were pissed but they wanted to see exactly what we were up to.I chuckled, looking over them. "Her heat came back twice as hard. I won't watch her comatose when all she needs is me.""Us!" River growled."Well, you two aren't here." I began walking to the bathroom. "She is all mine, brothers." I chuckled, turning the phone to show them how irresistible our mate looked, bent over and waiting so obediently for her mate to fuck her again."Kiera!" Drake growled out."Mm, hi, boys." She winked at the camera. She moved to sit up, but I tsked her."I told you to stay in position," I warned her, and she bent right back over."Sorry, Alpha." She smiled at me, and I shook my head."You listen so good when you're desperate for Alpha seed to fill you.""I need you." Kiera moaned at me and then loo
Drake POVLeaving Kiera was one of the hardest things my brother and I ever had to do. We acted strong and pretended it was what was needed and all would be fine, but it was a lie.Every second we were away from her presence felt like a hole growing deeper and deeper in our souls. It wasn't just her body we needed; it was all of her. We needed her next to us, her eyes looking over our body, her hand touching our skin, and those gorgeous lips feigning to feel ours. I missed her voice, even her bratty or pissed-off tone, and it had only been a day since we parted."Alphas, we should rest. Our pack is being drained." Andy dared to speak against our orders, and River immediately turned his wolf on him. It took almost 16 hours to arrive here, and we needed to dig as many crystals from the hard stone as possible. River and I grabbed pick axes and chopped away the second we arrived while the others set up camp. We couldn't waste any time."Our Luna is not well. We won't stop, even if it kill
Kiera POV"I could watch you all my life and nothing else, Cherie," Chase said softly as I stirred awake. My body felt renewed, but my soul still burned to be complete."Mark me, please." I pleaded, opening my eyes to my handsome mate. His green eyes look over me with frustration, his hand softly caressing my bare stomach. I wore a short, silky night dress, the fabric smooth over my body."Cherie, please don't tempt me any more than you have." I heard the desperation in his tone, and it made Athena whine inside my chest."I'm sorry I lost control. For the last few months, I have felt like I no longer know who I am. My body is pushed to you. It hurts being so close yet so far." I spoke honestly, touching his hair to lightly comb through the thick black mess."I feel it too, Kiera. We all feel the pull to be complete, but we need to protect our child above all else. He is more important than anything we desire." The way Chase spoke melted my heart instantly. The entire situation we foun
Kiera POVMy head spun, frantic and disoriented, as Jackson's corpse advanced toward me, claiming me as his own. This couldn't be real. Fear gripped my heart, paralyzing me where I stood."Mine!" Jackson growled, his decaying hands reaching out to seize me."Never!" Chase roared in defiance. In an instant, he leapt in front of me, transforming into a massive black wolf. His eyes burned with fierce determination, his snarl echoing in the wind. Jackson chuckled darkly, a sound that sent chills down my spine as his body mutated, becoming a grotesque zombie werewolf. He exuded a power far greater than anything I'd ever known.Athena wanted to unleash herself, but we feared our child. I wasn't too far along, but given my scarred womb that kept magically healing, we couldn't chance it.The air crackled with tension as the two beasts faced off. Chase's fur bristled, and his claws dug into the ground, ready to pounce. Jackson's new form was hideous, his flesh rotting yet somehow stronger, mo
Kiera POVAs the power of the brothers surged, the ground beneath us trembled. The air crackled with energy as Zeus took full form, a colossal beast of ancient power, his presence overwhelming. A fierce wind whipped around, centering on Katherine. Her eyes widened in realization as Zeus began to materialize, summoned by the combined might of the Triplets."Protect the line!" I commanded, and we formed a defensive circle around the brothers.Katherine shrieked, her grip tightening on the crystal. "You think you can defeat me?" she spat, her voice a venomous hiss."We know we can," I shouted back, raising my spear high. "This ends now!"Zeus roared, and with a single, powerful stride, he charged at Katherine. She tried to summon her undead minions, but they faltered under his immense power.With a deafening crash, Zeus collided with Katherine, his massive jaws snapping at her. Hundreds of our people fought resiliently against Katherine's forces that for a brief moment, it felt as if we
Kiera's POV"I'm worried about our Luna," a woman whispered only a few rooms away. It was ridiculous how often werewolves forgot what good hearing we have."She is nothing but a shell. First, she loses her mate, then her child. I don't think she will survive much longer," another woman gossiped."Thank the goddess we have Elizabeth," a third woman added. "It would be complete anarchy in the South otherwise. Our Luna spends all her time with her nose in those books."I sighed, jamming a book back on its shelf. Drake had shared some of his favorite stories with me, but now I couldn't recall all the titles. For the past three months, I had immersed myself in activities I knew they would have enjoyed. I planted flowers reminiscent of those Chase brought me on our first date, their vibrant hues of purple a bittersweet reminder of happier times. I chuckled, thinking we only had one date despite our time together. I had imagined many different versions of how our second would be. His charmi
Kiera POV"I always believed in you." Ruby's small voice echoed around me as the darkened world faded. I found myself at the start of my most recent dreams, only moments from when my world fell apart."Is this real?" I whispered to myself. My mates were kneeling on the floor, hands clasped as sweat poured off their bodies. "I can change this," I confirmed to myself.Katherine's grip tightened on the crystal. "You think you can defeat me?" she spat, her voice a venomous hiss."I know I can," I shouted back, raising my spear.Zeus roared, and with a single, powerful stride, he charged at Katherine. She tried to summon her undead minions, but they faltered under his immense power. "Break the crystal before she takes control!" I shouted at Elizabeth. Our eyes locked, the weight of our destiny pressing down on us. She nodded to me, delivering blow after blow to our enemies. We charged forward, using everything we had to reach Katherine in time.With a deafening crash, Zeus collided with
