Octavia’s POV
Last night was the best night of my life to date, even though it started off as my worst day ever, Troy managed to turn it around with the perfect date; games, delicious desserts, a romantic walk through a beautiful park with a cute little heartfelt confession, he even kept his end of the deal and let me ride his bike home which by the way was incredible I mean the speed on that thing is just so… exhilarating I felt like I was in wolf form again and letting Piper take full control like I usually do when I’m too stressed to deal with life.
And to top off the night he gave me the most mind-blowing sex over and over, gotta love shifter stamina.
But now laying here next to Troy in his gigantic super king size bed, I am to damn sore to get up.
This must be what it feels like for humans after a night of multiple orgasms.
I groan trying to sit up, waking Troy in the process.
“Morning beautiful.” He rolls over wrapping an arm aro
Troy’s POV “Hey babe are you feeling, ok?” I ask Octavia as we head out of the dining hall. I felt a strange tug in my chest and when I looked over at her she looked sad, like she was going to cry and I realized she is probably missing her wolf a lot today since its both their birthdays. I was going to wait until she got back from her girl’s morning to show her this but I figured she needed to get out of there. “Yea I just got a little overwhelmed with all the presents, thanks for getting me out of there.” She says smiling, though I’m pretty sure it’s forced because I can still feel that strange tug in my chest, it’s like someone is holding my heart and tugging on it. I can only assume it’s the Mate bond getting stronger with the Eclipse approaching. We reach the Alpha and Luna room and I open the door for her, “I wanted to show you this later but I guess now is as good a time as any.” I say gesturing for her to come in. I had Harper help me move all Octavia’s stuff in here while
Octavia’s POV “Octavia, wait, I have that gift for you.” Troy says pulling me back before we can enter the hall with the others. Oh, right I forgot about that little box, I wonder what surprise he has for me now. I’m still reeling from the ride on my new bike he got me I don’t need any more presents. He waits until it is just us in the hallway and takes me back a few feet by the door to his mother’s memorial door, he smiles at me pointing to the door, “Open it.” “Are you sure? Isn’t this like some memorial for your mother?” I ask cautiously placing my hand on the doorknob. “It is but since she can’t be with us in person, I wanted you to see this.” He says gesturing for me to open it. I open the door and I’m temporarily blinded by a bright light, I hold my hand up to shield my eyes until they adjust. When I take my hand down my mouth drops to the floor, there is a gigantic Phoenix statue painted red and orange with sparkling gold eyes piercing into my soul, it’s in the centre o
Troy’s POV I can’t believe she actually said yes, when I asked her parents for permission last night after Octavia fell asleep, I was worried her dad would say no but he surprised me and gave me his blessing, I even asked little monkey and he gave me a hug so I took it as a good sign. And now watching her with her family showing off the ring I had made for her and seeing the smile on her face I feel like the happiest and luckiest man alive. My dad and Grace come over to congratulate us and we all chat for a while then my dad mind links me that it’s time for the announcement before we eat and do the cake. I tell Octavia its time and we follow my dad, Lucian, and Silvia to the stage where there is a band playing and a mic waiting. “Excuse me everyone, I have a few announcements to make, could all please grab a glass from one of the waiters walking around and come towards the stage.” My dad says through the mic. “Right first of all I want to say happy birthday to the stunning Octavi
Octavia’s POV I wake up in the same dreamlike place, like the last time I saw Selene, only this time it seems brighter somehow like there is a new life forming. “Octavia!” I hear Piper’s happy voice through the mind link and I spin around looking for her, “Piper! Did it work are you healed? Where are you?” I ask still looking for her. “Yes child, it worked just as planned and you are now the Luna of the Eclipse moon pack, so now I must give you, your last gift.” Selene comes into my view looking like an angel from the heavens. “What do you mean by my last gift?” I ask her confused. She smiles, “You didn’t really think you developed three elemental powers at random did you?” I think about it for a moment, she has a point it isn’t normal for an unmated wolf to inherit more than one element but we just figured it was because I was born of two royal bloodlines. “Why me?” I ask. “Because child, I have big plans for you and Troy, and in order for you to fulfil those plans you need to
Octavia’s POV With all of this new power surging through me and Piper back to her normal self again I feel like a new person, I haven’t even stopped to think about what all of this might mean, I am just so happy to still have my wolf and be Mated to Troy oh and not to mention ENGAGED. This has been the most insane week of my life and it is just getting started, I know there is going to be a lot of blood and death coming our way so I just want to relish in my good mood and not think about all the doom and gloom, even though I can sense everyone is worried about my powers, I have reassured them I’m fine, but I feel Troy is going to take a bit more convincing since he can feel everything I can now. When the witch finally decides to grace us with her presence, I waste no time in firing a bunch of questions at her, she smiles at me with her creepy rotted teeth and i shudder. “The answers you seek cannot be answered by me, you will need to ask the oracle. I am told she will be here after
Octavia’s POV We hit the road taking four vehicles, I have Troy, Nicklaus, Uhtred, and Faith in my car while my parents took a van with my uncle’s casket and younger siblings, Troy’s dad has his younger siblings, Grace, and Breda, and then there is another car with the Crescent Moon Packs Beta Isaac and a few other warriors for protection. Harper and Jax are staying behind to keep an eye on the rest of the Pack members while we are away. - Pulling into the township of Picton, I hadn’t really let it sink in that my King and Queen are dead for fear I would lose control of my powers but now that I have a better hold on my emotions with the help of the Mate bond, I am starting to feel the weight of the seriousness of everything crash down on me and it’s almost suffocating. Troy senses my struggle and picks up my hand that has been holding his for most of the drive here and places a kiss to each of my knuckles sending sparks through my body with each kiss. I don’t think I will ever ge
Troy’s POV I wait on the rooftop for Octavia looking up at the stars, I have a feeling what she wants to talk about… Klaus. I am honoured she is ready to trust me but I don’t know if I am ready to hear about the love she has for him, I only just got her and call me selfish but I don’t want to share her with anyone dead or alive. I hear the door open and I continue to gaze at the stars, they look so bright and beautiful tonight. “Hey handsome, what ya looking at?” she comes up behind me and wraps her arms around me burying her face into my shoulder blades. “Just looking at the stars thinking about how much I love you.” I say truthfully. I feel her lift her head up, “I love you to Troy.” She moves around me so she can face me. I look down and smile, I know she means it because I can feel it through the bond, so why do I feel like I’m about to have my heart ripped out? “I know what you’re thinking Troy, and it’s ok, I would never break your heart because it is mine. But you do nee
Octavia’s POV “Someone want to tell me why I have to be here.” Mira asks when we get into Ray’s office. I shrug, I have no idea why we are all here. I mean I know they need to make a decision about when Uhtred will take over the family throne but I don’t see why we need to be here for it. “Because your mother has asked you all to be here, that’s why.” My dad says, I can sense tension coming off him, something isn’t right. I look to Uhtred and he too has an uneasy expression on his face. Mum walks in and gestures for us all to sit down. “What’s going on ma.” Uhtred asks sitting down next to me and Quinn. “Your father and I have an announcement to make, and before you all freak out you need to know this is something we need to do and there will be no arguments on the matter.” She says sternly and we all look at each other, the tension is growing thick in the air. “Right dear do you want to tell them or shall I?” She looks to our dad standing in front of Rays desk. He sighs and t
