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
Chapter 58 – Breakfast with the Elders I stand stunned in my place as I look at the seven elders shifting before me. “Briar,” Onyx warns me a second time when I finally snap out of it. “What did your Alpha request of you?” I demand from them in my Alpha tone. It is so strong that it almost scares me. Onyx looks over at me, horrified. “Answer, now,” I demand deeper and watch as they all tremble and sit. “Human form, now,” I order again.Within moments they are all shifted back into their human form and holding their heads down in a bow to me. “Now, Onyx said good morning,” I state nicely before returning my attention to him. Onyx has a look of shock and awe on his face as he watches me. The elders' mumbles of “Good morning” spread through the room before I snap Onyx out of it. “Go ahead, my dear. The room is yours.” I insist. He blinks his eyes a few times, nods, and turns to the elders. “Anyone care to tell me what the argument was over?” He asks them before leading me
Chapter 59- A Better UnderstandingWe talk for over an hour when Onyx strolls into the coffee shop. “Briar, I am so sorry. How can I ever make it up to you?” Worry fills his voice as he approaches me. “You can get me another one of these,” I say, holding up my empty glass. “Consider it done.” He turns to the counter, leaving me with Matt once again. “Matt, I appreciate everything that you have told me. I will help him fix this.” “Thank you, Luna.” He bows his head before standing and giving Onyx his chair. “I will be off. You know how to reach me if you need me.” He states before leaving Onyx and me alone.I take a long swig out of my drink before I look at Onyx. “You were gone.” He whispers. “I have been gone for over an hour. I take it you just got out of there?” Knowing I am right based on his outfit still being in proper condition. “I did. After you left, some interesting information came to the surface. I wish you would have stayed at my side. It was the best meeting I have ever
Chapter 60- Seeing Devin **Warning Sexual Content** I moan as his fingers move in and out of me rapidly. I move my hand behind me, unzip his pants, and spring his erection free before moving my hand up and down in long slow strokes. “Do you know what that will cause?” “The same thing as your fingers will,” I say as I quicken my pace.A growl comes from deep within Onyx as he removes his hand and pulls at my clothing. Desperate to see him naked, I quickly remove Onyx’s clothes. “Anyone can walk up,” Onyx announces as he lifts me, and I straddle him around the waist. “If you don’t care if they see me naked, I don’t care.” I breathe as I kiss him feverishly. “We are going to get wet.” “I am already wet,” I say as I break my kiss on his neck. “No, we are going behind the waterfall over here.” He comments as he walks into the water and wades us behind a large rock that hides what would be a waterfall for an ant. “That is not a waterfall.” I laugh. “Ok, it is more of a bubbl
Chapter 61 – I am not putting that in my mouth! Onyx steps forward. “You felt nothing?” He asks. “Nothing at all. It was like it didn’t matter to me. Which makes me think that she may not have been my mate after all and that my mate is possibly still out there somewhere.” “Have you discussed this with the Doctor?” “I have. We have explored some interesting topics here. I feel like Michael and Mika are no longer in my head, but it is like something is still inside of me that pulls me back to the pack. I don’t understand what is happening.” He admits, and I turn my attention to Onyx. “This is an interesting turn of events. How do you feel about Briar now?” Onyx asks him. “Sad. I wish she didn’t fear me, but she has good reason to. I single-handedly destroyed our friendship and put that fear into her.” “If you so much as look at her wrong.” Onyx starts before Devin interrupts him. “Sir, if I ever go after Briar again, can you make me a promise?” “What promise?” Onyx asks,
Chapter 62- Surprise Doctor visit. Judith walks in as he opens the door and looks around. “What is that awful smell?” She calls out as she covers her mouth and nose. “I have never been so disrespected in my life,” George screams at her. “That is your Queen, George. Check yourself.” I demand. His face turns white as he kneels on the ground to her. “My apologies, my Queen.” “Is it your food that stinks? What on earth did you do to it?” She asks, gagging as the bag comes closer to her. “It is one of the finest meals you can have.”“Finest can stay far away from me then. Yikes, that smells.” She states as she fans the air before her. “Good day!” George yells angrily before leaving with his people. “Our caterer just quit because we don’t like his food and want something simple,” I state as she sits on the couch near my feet. “Yeah, you need steak and potatoes. Maybe the corn from White Moon and Hamburgers and hotdogs. That is more your speed.” She says while looking at my f
Chapter 63 – Shock and All the Things I look in shock at the screen. “Wait, no. That is not possible.” Wonder fills me as I look at the screen. “I am pleased to inform you that it is indeed possible. Luna, you are pregnant with twins.” She happily states. As she begins looking them over. “Onyx?” I ask, not looking for an answer but for support in what we have just heard. “Well, it looks like we will be extra busy. How did we not know? How did we not hear the second heartbeat?” He asks her. “If you listen now, you can hear the heartbeats beating simultaneously. It rarely happens, but it does happen. It looks like they are on track and will be here at the end of the month. Would you like to know their genders?” She asks, looking at us. “It would be easier to prepare for two,” I state to Onyx. “As long as you keep this news private.” Onyx states. “Everything that happens in an exam room is confidential.” She confirms before moving them around in my stomach.She hands us a
