Colton’s POVWe have been searching for three days. I can’t be away from her much longer.Me- Jove, can you get Venus yet?Jove- Not yet and I can’t sense our mate. She is either very far away or deep underground.Me-We are hoping for deep underground. It’s been three days, if she isn’t near here, she could be anywhere by now.Jove- I won’t stop trying to reach her.Me- Good, because I need her.“Anything?” Dalton asks.“Dead ends. Where is our pet dog?” I ask him.“Sniffing, always sniffing,” Dalton and I have never really been allies in anything, but right now we both want the same thing, to find our mate.“It’s been three days and it has rained every night. He is not going to catch her scent,” I say.“He won’t give up, I won’t give up,” Dalton says.“I’m standing here too Dalton,” I remind him.“Boys,” Dad gets our attention. “We need to get back to the palace. We are going to leave Apollo and three warriors. If they find anything they will let us know.”“You mean us, Apollo, and t
Amanda’s POV“Colton,” I press my naked body against his. “Thank you. I know it was you who made the earth move.”“Oh yeah, how?” That damn cocky smirk.“No one shakes the earth like you,” I crash my lips into him, and I don’t care who is looking.“Baby,” Dalton got the first kiss, but it looks like he needs more. I wrap myself around him and he holds me tightly.I pull back to see Apollo. He is tone and so yummy looking. It’s been two months; eight days and I don’t know the hours and minutes because I don’t know what time it is. I unwrap from Dalton, and I don’t care, they are covered in blood.“Apollo,” I almost cry as I wrap around him. Screw almost, the tears are falling so fast they are washing away the blood.“I’m here, baby, I’ll never leave you again,” he tells me.“There is no hot water, but the trophy showers are over here,” Lucas tells everyone.“Let’s get the blood off of us and into something warm,” Evie tells us, smiling at her friend.“Ladies first,” Adam points and we
Terry’s POVJanuary 11, 1995“She is the most beautiful baby,” I say, mesmerized by how strong my baby sister is. “I think she is prettier than Mia.”“Oh, don’t go saying that too loud,” my dad kneels beside me so we can both look at baby Amanda. “I’m going to protect you forever,” I whisper to her.“Can we see her?” I hear Queen Evie ask. I turn to see Mia staring at me. Yeah, my sister is prettier. Dad and I step aside. Queen Evie is pregnant with Triplets. They had better never be mean to my little sister, I’ll kill them. I don’t care if they are royals, this is my little sister, no on hurts my little sister!********July 12, 2000“Mia, I know in a few months you will be able to detect your mate, and I know that as your second in command, I will have to serve him, but what if I am him?” I ask, before I exhale loudly. “Terry, you think you might be my mate?” She giggles. “That would be amazing.”I smile and lean in. She leans too and by the goddess and all her goodness, we
Athena’s POV“So why Athena and Zeus?” Terry asks as we eat ice cream walking around downtown Seattle.“My parents have a thing about Greek Mythology. I mean, they are named Hades and Persephone. I guess naming me after the goddess of war and my twin after the king of the gods was their way of reminding everyone and us just who we are,” I lean into him, and he actually puts an arm around my shoulders.“And who is that exactly?” He teases, whispering in my ear.“Zeus will be King Consort and I will be the mate of the Second in Command of all Beasts,” I smile up at him.“Oh really, well, congratulations,” he takes a bite from my ice cream cone.“Hey, that was mine,” I protest.“Get used to it. I’m going to do that for the rest of your life,” he smiles at me, and we stop in the middle of the sidewalk, staring at each other. He cups my face with one hand and tosses his ice cream in a bin, before pulling me close.It was so easy, I could have just kissed him, I mean, he is leaning in.Hera
Terry’s POV“Sweets, how long has Diamond been quiet?” I ask her, seeing fear in her eyes.“Oden hasn’t been able to talk to her since we came back from Napa,” Zeus answers.“I am strong enough without my damn Lycan,” Mia snarls.“No, you are not,” I tell her. “Mia, look at me. What is going on? The door is closed, it's you, me, Zeus, and Athena. What the hell is going on?”“She will not talk to me. She wants me to surrender, apologize, and make amends,” Mia sits down.“She wants you to join AA?” Athena jokes, before leaning on the desk next to me, facing Mia. “Mia, she is holding you hostage. She is acting the way a Queen should and she is wanting you to act the same.”“This isn’t her first protest either, is it?” I ask.Mia shakes her head.“The Lycans will sense this. We need to find a way to awaken her,” Athena says.“I don’t know what I can do,” Mia sighs.“I got you babe,” Athena winks and disappears.“Where is she going?” Mia asks.“I stopped asking questions about why she does
Zeus’s POV Oden-If I don’t get my mate soon I’m going feral. Me-It’s going to take some time for Mia to show she can change. Oden-I heard Hera say Athena predicts 6 months. I think I have it in me. Me-I hope you do, because it is going to be a long six months. “It has come to my attention that several policies adversely effect my subjects. While the Werefox punishment is no longer on the table, there are other matters we need to discuss. The Werebear paternity regulations. My brothers Werebear, I’m not sure what to call her, but the mother of my nieces has informed me that the policy is unnatural for her kind. She didn’t know her twin paternity until my brother pointed it out to her. She was prepared to raise her girls alone, as is natural for the Bears,’’ Mia explains. “I agree my queen,” our Werebear Member Trent smiles and nods. “So I say we remove the policy and reverse all judgements that have been handed out so far,” Mia proposes. Everyone on the council agrees. “Can we
Mia’s POV “My Queen, what has changed in you?” Chanticleer, the new Werecat councilman, asks.“The contest, which was never finished because neither the Werebears, or the Werecats wanted to take the throne. But upon reflection, my sister-in-law's kidnapping, and discussions with family, I can see where in my youth and haste to prove myself, I made a few errors in judgement. As my father taught me, I can correct my mistakes. This is my wish,” I tell him. Leaving out that I want the kingdom to stop wanting my brothers and Amanda to take over.“Whatever the change, the kingdom rejoices,” Trevor, our youngest member and a Lycan, smiles at me.Zeus doesn’t like him smiling the way he is and coughs to my right. “Forgive me, King Zeus.”I try not to laugh.“I think the Queen’s realizations are what we all needed. And whatever brought on the change, I applaud it,” Uncle Tyler winks at me.Trevor looks confused at Zues’s silence.“You do know she is his niece, right?” Zeus asks Trevor,
Mia’s POV“Have you completely lost your mind?” My father screams at me. “Release my sons and I might not take the throne by force. Try to lock me up and see how fast I let Bruce out. The boys have shown great restraint in my opinion.”“Mia, what is going on?” Mother screams. “Zeus just drove off with Belle.”“HE DID WHAT?” I roar.Me- DIAMOND WAKE UP!!!Silence.Our pup has been taken and she is still silent.“Mia, let your brothers go,” Mom orders.“No, your brother betrayed me. How am I to know my own won’t??” I ask. “When they deliver the bitch, they go free.”“Who are you talking about?” Dad asks.“Amanda, perfect Amanda, with the fucking perfect heart, perfect brain, perfect everything,” I scream. “She is the root of all this. I was a good queen until they started to compare me to her.”“Mia, you have struggled since you took over!” Dad shakes his head. “Stubborn, heartless. You really can’t think with your heart at all can you? Mia these are your brothers.”“Adam, she is protect
