Chapter 50- King Aiden POV Lobo only looks for his parents briefly when they leave us. “What would you like to do now, little buddy?” I ask him as I gently bounce him in my arms and pick up a noisy toy. “How about we play with this,” I say as I sit us both down on the ground and push the button, making it sing. I watch as Lobo laughs and flails his arms about in joy from the simple toy.It doesn’t take long for Lobo to become tired of playing. Clara did mention that it would be the start of nap time when she left, so not to expect much from him, and boy was she right. He rubs his little eyes, extends his hands to me, and opens and closes his hands for me to pick him up. “As you wish, young man.” I smile happily, lifting him into my arms and rocking him slightly. He yawns a few times, cuddles against my chest, and drifts to sleep. “Sweetest dreams, Lobo. I will be here to scare away all of the monsters.” I whisper as I continue to sway my body as I hold him.Looking out
Chapter 51 – Briar POV - Near death **Warning Sexual content** After allowing the King to read over Michaels's plans if he were to become Alpha, Onyx and I head into the pool for a quick cool-off. “What are your thoughts?” Onyx asks me as he holds me against the wall in the pool's deep end. “About what?” I ask as I rub my body against his, pleading for relief. “About if Michael should be alpha or not.” He whispers as he kisses my mark, lighting a fire within my core. “We aren’t going to talk about that right now,” I state as I kiss him deeply. He instantly allows access to his mouth as my tongue explores his battling for control. “Onyx,” I beg as I feel the need growing deeper inside me. “We can go to the room for more privacy.” He states as he begins to move me from the wall. “No, I need you now.” I plead. “Are you sure?” I can sense the desire within his voice as he reluctantly asks me. “Right now,” I demand.Onyx pulls my swimsuit bottoms to the side and pushes hims
Chapter 52 – A Talk with Onyx We have made it to the end of the driveway when he catches up. “Briar, please stop.” He pleads. I do as he requests and keep my head down as I turn around. “Briar, look at me.” He begs, and I lift my eyes to meet his. “I didn’t mean. Briar I.” He stutters out. “Please just handle the situation and make sure my parents are ok,” I request softly.Onyx steps toward me, and instinctively I step away from him. “Briar.” He breathes my name painfully. “I am going back to the hotel.” I lower my head and turn around once again. “Can we talk about this when I get back?” He asks softly. “Yes, Onyx. We will talk when you get back.” I weep. “Please, let me hold you for a moment.” “My parents are around. It is not a good idea.” I state without turning around. “Ok, I will be back soon. Matt, please ensure she is safe.” He says before I start walking again.We make it back into town when I look at Matt. “Do you mind if we swing into the store?” I ask him.
Chapter 53 – A Trip to White Moon Shock is riddled upon Onyx’s face as he looks back at me. “So, I almost kill you, and you decide to return to the hotel, make a fancy dinner, and state you are going home to our pack?” He asks me. “That is exactly right, but I did say that you can choose to come with me.” “Do you feel comfortable being around me after what had happened?” He asks me.I sit in his lap. “I feel comfortable around all of you still. That brings me back to the promise I had asked you for.” “Which is what?” He asks as he wraps his arms around my waist, nuzzles his face into my neck, and pulls me closer to him. “I need you to teach me about Lycan’s. What to do in those situations, how to get out of them alive, how to fight if needed, everything.” “You have my word. I will teach you how to subdue me if that ever is to happen again. It is easy enough to take me down, but you must take it to your grave.” He states. “You have my word.” I smile.I lean in and kiss
Chapter 54 – Home at Last Just past the entrance of lined trees are extensive open meadows filled with flowers. Beyond them are large mountains. “Welcome home,” Onyx whispers into my ear as I gasp at the view. “Onyx, it is beautiful.” I coo as I press my face against the window, trying to get a better view. “Don’t hurt yourself. I will take you on a tour, and you can see everything we have to offer.” Onyx laughs as we pass a lake. “You have a lake as well?” I ask excitedly. “Yeah, we jet ski and fish from there,” Onyx announces as he points out a massive Bald Eagle diving toward the water. “We are not the only ones who live here. We have three nests currently, and they all host eggs. We should see baby Eagles taking their first flights here in a little while.” He announces as I watch the Eagle pull a fish out of the water and fly back into the sky. “Is this a hotel?” I ask as we pull up to a massive stunning building. “No, this is the pack house.” He la
Chapter 55- My new homeWe watch as the young man comes running our way with a concerned look on his face. “Good day, Alpha, Luna, Queen.” He bows as he talks. “Your father is having a particularly bad day today. It would be best if we did introductions another day.” He states. “If you think that is best, we will do that. Kyle, I would like to formally introduce you to Luna Briar and Queen Judith. Ladies, Kyle is my father’s right-hand man. Do not fear my father; he is more of a danger to himself than any other.” Onyx says softly. Another loud noise is heard, and Kyle runs away faster than he came. “Judith,” Onyx calls her. “Yes?” She looks uneasy.“The doors open outward here, but the brackets are on the inside of the door. The deadbolt you will find against the wall will keep everyone out of your room. We cannot get in, even in a Lycan form, unless you open that door. In the case of an emergency and someone has you locked in there, we do have a way to get in. You are safe.” He convi
Chapter 56 – Let’s save a person’s business, shall we? Thirty minutes pass faster than I expect, and I quickly change out of my traveling clothing into shorts and a tee shirt, matching Onyx’s clothing choices. “Ready?” he asks as I pull my hair into a high ponytail. “Ready.” I smile happily before having one more look out of the floor-to-ceiling overlooking the beautiful territory. As promised, Judith is punctual and waiting. “On this floor, we have my parent's room at the end of the hall. Our room and the King and Queen’s quarters. No one comes to this floor unless it is an emergency.” He states before pushing the elevator button. “It is beautiful here.” she declares as we enter the elevator. “Thank you, we do pride ourselves upon that. We do everything we can to ensure the land is cared for to the best of our abilities.” He announces. We step out of the elevator on the next floor. “This floor houses those who deal with me or my parents
Chapter 57 – First night homeOnyx tries to body-block us from his father, but it is too late. We had already seen the late Alpha's naked form while he was running to us. “Onyx, it has been brought to my attention that you will be a father. That is the most glorious gift that could ever be bestowed upon a man and his family. Come here, son, hug me. Congratulations!” He happily calls Onyx.Judith and I look everywhere but at the two of them while Onyx’s naked father is with us, and then the attention turns to us. “Is this our Beautiful Luna?” He requests. “Dad, you do not have any clothing on. I will introduce you to them when you put some pants on.” Onyx tries to encourage him to no avail. “Nudity is something wolves are used to. They are wolves, and I can smell it.” He happily pats Onyx on his cheek and walks around him to us.“Good evening, sir. I am Briar, Onyx’s mate,” I state before closing my eyes and bowing to him. “This is Queen Judith,” I announce as his attention turns to Ju
