At least Khalid would be useful for once. Like/Comment/Vote with those pretty blue gems if you're enjoying the story thus far.
BRYNN I was not certain about the cause of my nerves, but I was in fact nervous as I stood awkwardly outside of the dining room. Sounds from people enjoying breakfast reached my ears. Theo waited patiently beside me, showing his support without rushing me or pushing me. There were plenty of females just like Veronica and the bitch that sent me the nasty mindlink of Theo and her. Was I self-conscious? As much as I hated to admit it, the truth was that I actually was. ‘Did you ever consider taking anyone else as your Luna?’ I asked. I hated how insecure I sounded, but I could not help it. Theo turned me and cupped my face. There was such gentleness in his eyes which was back by a wave of fierce determination felt through the bond. ‘I had no desire to give the claim to anyone other than my mate except for one female. In my mind, she’d make the perfect Luna. I didn’t really know her as much as I would’ve liked to, but I felt it in my soul that she would be perfect. And she is. You’re
THEO “Time to wake up, my sweet mate,” I murmured in her ear. We had fallen asleep underneath the stars after making love and just talking about anything that came to mind. There was silly ‘what if’ scenarios as well as in-depth discussions about pack politics. I felt complete when I was with Brynn. There had been this missing piece of me for a long time now, but I had no idea what it was or where to find it. It took a while for me to finally identify what it was. The woman in my arms was my missing piece. Brynn stretched and smiled against my chest. The contentment she felt in this moment made my heart swell. I loved that she could feel such peace waking up next to me. “Good morning, handsome.” Her beautiful amber eyes peered up at me as she flashed me a bright smile. I could not help but return it. “Morning, baby. We should probably get ready for training. We’ll have the announcement before dinner if you’re sure that you’re ready.” It would always be her choice. If she wanted
BRYNN I looked at my surroundings as I tried to figure out where I was. The room office was nothing fancy. A desk, laptop, filing cabinet, and a window that overlooked an empty field. It was fairly nondescript. There was a knock followed by a command to enter. That gruff voice was unmistakable. I slowly turned around, almost afraid to see him in the same room as me. He looked exactly like the last vision I had. Tall, bald, and even had more scars than he had when I was a pup. A long diagonal scar across his left eye. The door opened to show none other than Khalid, the fucking traitorous bastard himself. “Take a seat,” he said, looking at the empty chair. “The witches have no idea why they can’t find the fucking vessel. We’re going ahead with the plan.” Khalid sat down with his head lowered like the submissive bitch that he was. How did he even get mixed up in all of this? “How long?” he asked. “Fourteen days. It’ll take two weeks for the cage to be ready. We have no idea if she
THEO Unmated males always thought that experiencing their mate’s heat would be nothing but a week of absolute pleasure. Nonstop sex where both of you were so horny that you could never get enough. There was no room for misunderstanding here. My sexy nymph and I christened our entire suite multiple times over. I had no idea how many times either of us came. It all became a blur at some point. Her tight body was too flexible and far too eager to try new things. My mate had been inexperienced coming into our mateship, but she was a quick study indeed. I sure as fuck hoped that she kept the same insatiable appetite when she was not in a heat-induced lustful haze because my girl was the epitome of sinful desire. The kicker was that she did not even realize it. She was oblivious to how fucking sexy and enticing she actually was. She screamed my name as she shattered around me. Two more thrusts had me following right behind her. We took a minute to catch our breath before I pulled out of
THEO Brynn’s room was almost entirely packed up except for the things on her walls. I wished I had seen what this room looked like before it was packed up. The walls were painted to look like they were part of a galaxy. The blacks, purples, blues, and white stars blended together to create a stunning mural. It made me wonder who designed it because it was customized. She also had a Queen-sized bed along the back wall. It had boxes scattered on top of it. It made me happy to see it because it showed that our lives were being joined together. It was no longer my place but our home. I walked over to a corkboard that had photos attached to it. I smiled as I saw different mini-Brynns throughout the years. There were some family photos as well as photos of her friends. I saw what my father meant about how she withdrew into herself after her mother died. Some of those pictures showed eyes void of emotion and robotic in nature. Others showed how lively and happy she was. It pained me to see
BRYNN The whiskey completely ran out of my system, and I was having fun unpacking things. Theo insisted that I stay up here while he brought the boxes up. He even enlisted Jackson and Dante’s help. I absolutely loved this suite. It was spacious with the perfect kitchen for a chef like me. Top-of-the-line appliances, a double oven, and plenty of counter space made me feel like I had died and gone to foodie heaven. The living room had the most comfortable seating. The couch and loveseat had memory foam, so it felt like you were sitting on a cloud. The oversized chairs were perfect for cuddling. Then there was a magnificent view of the forest and mountains from the balcony. My hand landed on the book I got on my birthday. I had looked through it briefly, but none of it made sense to me, so I put it aside. However, things were different now because I now knew the truth of my bloodline. I sat down at the table and opened it. Perhaps it would give us some further clues into all of this.
BRYNN I had originally wanted to surprise Theo with a good home-cooked dinner, but we would be having a pack meeting before dinner to announce our bond and my future Luna status. We would not be having the ceremony until after the battle, but we did not want to wait to announce our mateship. Plans for dinner were placed on hold for tonight, so he would just have to settle for breakfast. That was why I found myself up earlier than him so that I could cook. The breakfasts that I saw him inhale were a good indication of what he might like. It took a good ten minutes before I could settle on a choice. I just hoped he enjoyed the secret recipe French toast, scrambled eggs, sausage, fresh fruit. Oh, and coffee. It was the most important part of this entire meal. “Something smells amazing,” Theo said. He wrapped his arms around me and running his nose along my neck. I leaned into his body and internally sighed with the positive emotions caressing the bond. Theo could bring me to the brink
THEO Zen was strutting around like a smug bastard in my mind after completing his bond with Moira. It was good to see him so happy because he definitely deserved it. Our mates were completely amazing creatures that we were both blessed beyond measure to call ours. This new gift of Zen’s would be fascinating to test out and learn. It made me wonder if I would be able to utilize it as well because natural gifts were usable by both human and wolf forms, but this was not a natural gift exactly. It was belatedly bestowed. We would just have to be careful where we tested it out because we did not need prying eyes until all of the traitors were dealt with. ‘Do you know of anywhere we can privately test out Zen’s gift from the vision?’ I asked Brynn as we walked into the packhouse. ‘Actually, yes. The training center where my father trained me is large and private. We can lock the doors from the inside so nobody could happen inside.’ I placed a kiss on the top of her head and breathed in
