95. Second Thought
*Emrys’ POV*
“And,” King Anton looked out across the long table with all of his department heads, the only person missing was faraway in France with her mate, and my mate sat next to me; Celeste’s hand resting atop my knee.
Atticus, wherever he was inside of me, hummed in silent contentment. He wanted so desperately to take over, hold our mate, feel our child within her kick, but Atticus felt guilty; images of the battlefield, stained with our warriors' blood, flashed in and out of my head.
Goosebumps tattooed my skin and I clenched my teeth to hold back anything and everything I currently felt, the tremors that wanted to dance within my hands were forced to hold still with my clenching fist.

“The days following slowly turned into weeks, which I planted myself into work. I would usually do hundreds of sheets of paperwork, back to back training sessions, and run my wolf whenever I could,”She hummed, eyes wide with false understanding. “So how would you say this affected your day to day operations Alpha?”I bit my lip so hard that my teeth almost drew blood instantly, the taste of copper filling my mouth like salt water fill the sea, swimming through the microscopic spacing between my teeth, rolling over my tongue-“Horrible,” Even I cringed at my dry as the desert tone; she had just asked a simple question and I answered it honestly but… My Goddess it was a stupid question, one I thought anyone could know the answer to,
Mated to the Alpha Knight 97. Opening Up
I noticed over the next few days that during small down times of the day Emrys would sneak off only to come back moments later, not even gone ten seconds and he’d be back. At first I thought he was texting someone or even a phone call, but sometimes his phone would be left right where he had placed it and while me and Cassandra didn’t think anything was wrong, I wanted to double check.The next time Emrys excused himself, I too stood and followed him after a quick second had passed only to see him standing in the hallway with what looked like to be a crumpled piece of paper in his hand and a pen in the other.“Emrys,” I must have startled him because as soon as my voice sounded, my mate jumped and almost dropped the pen. “You okay?”Chuckl
Mated to the Alpha Knight 98. Restless
*Emrys’ POV*Slamming the sharpened blade that glinted off the lighted sun above forward and knowing it hit the bastard by the way ice shards had come back and slashing my cheeks quite harshly, I let out a growl that was enough to vibrate the solid ground…Celeste was right, I should’ve let her known about these vile creatures before an attack like this was to be made, even if no one thought that these bastards would come so far down south compared to their normal climate; yes, they had taken refugee on our cities outer mountains and King Anton and I were coming up with plans on how to rid them, only coming up short, but it was against their norm to be in a climate this warm. If it was in the deadset middle of our harsh winter then maybe I’d be able to understand it a bit better on why they were down
Mated to the Alpha Knight 99. Ostana, Where Are You?
Tonight was anything but relaxing.Focusing my attention on the mythical and powerful inky water in front of me, I took a deep breath as I tried to let my thoughts find their own home in the void of confusion which nestled inside of me; my hands laid over my baby bump comfortingly and it was as if I was still searching for those damn questions.It was pointless.All of the researching in books for hours upon end, question after never ending question, my vision, this damned power - everything that had led up to this moment seemed so utterly useless and now with Emrys’ high blood pressure?Goddess above.*
Mated to the Alpha Knight 100. Fallen
The hardest part of this all was getting out of the hole…I had walked around the spacey room and tried to find some other way out, anything from a door, stairs, or even another hole that could lead me out easier, only to come up empty.In the far left corner of this abandoned room, broken glass littered the stone flooring and blood the color of dark oak stained an old and matted rug; I wondered what kind of stories did this room hold? Whose blood was shed here and why? What secrets were kept here?My hands trembled as they held onto dear life, I prayed the roots which now tangled themselves between my pale fingers painfully would hold their own and myself, my feet pushing up on the bookshelf I had moved and climbed atop of; Cassandra growled at me, angry
Mated to the Alpha Knight 101. 100% Agree
“Now that we know our pup is going great, I’m ready to take action Celeste… We’ve waited too long to do anything and I feel like a failure,” Emrys filled me in as we continued our way down the corridor, our friends and colleagues waited for us in Emrys’ office. “But there's no use in talking about the subject if we’re never going to take charge,”I nodded in agreement and spoke. “Rhys, I don’t want your blood pressure to soar anymore than it already has though. You haven’t taken your needed rest -”“Baby,” Emrys came to a halt and bent down to eye level, both him and Atticus present as he spoke. “I understand your concern for me but we have to understand our people are in great danger, our pup
Mated to the Alpha Knight 102. Maybe
It was not too surprising that the cold up in the northern mountains was bone chilling, even with the suburban’s heater on full blast, goosebumps painted my ivory skin and holding my baby bump as we drove, I let out a sigh only to have Emrys put a comforting hand on my thigh; sparks of love kissed my skin.Looking over to my mate who met my eye contact, he smiled lovingly and even though I could see the hesitation in those half stormy, half silver, and as I smiled back with my own hesitation, the thought crossed my mind.I cannot believe we are actually doing this…But I am glad we are doing this.&ldqu
Mated to the Alpha Knight 103. The Trees
The first two weeks upon the mountains ground full of ice and snow had passed quickly, everyone compiling correctly to their designated tasks, meetings, watch schedules, and to be honest, there was nothing more I could ask of my pack; they were amazing people and giving them tasks which not only highlighted but embraced their individual talents made each day easier. There were no sightings or anything that alerted us of those icy bastards but everyone was on their toes…Letters had come once a week, as there was no internet or cell service up here, and Celeste had worried me in her first letter as she explained how she had felt cramps and there had been spotting of blood during her shower one day; Ostana had rushed her to the palaces medical emergency wing. The doctor had fiddled over her and had happily expressed that it -for some odd reason or another- was normal, as I had found out
