Liam’s POV Looking over at my beautiful Emma, I notice for the umpteenth time she’s scratching at her forehead and hairline. “Why do you keep scratching your face, love?”. She starts rubbing, “I’m not sure but it keeps burning and itching. Are there any dots or anything?”. I don’t see anything, “nope, maybe mom can get you a cream or something but you’re gonna end up a cyclops if you keep digging at your forehead and scare the new members”. She sticks her tongue out at me haphazardly. The girls are busy putting together welcome bags for the newest members, making beds, assessing inventory and occasional minor pillow fights. “Has anyone seen Dan?”. It feels like I haven’t seen my cousin in forever. “Did I hear my name?”. I follow the sound of the voice to a tiny closet. “What on earth and how did you fit in here?” He laughs, “stocking toiletries bud. What’s up?”. “I’m all for helping the pack with anything but you’re an Alpha Dan. Is toiletries really the top p
Liam’s POV “Kalen, what’s going on with you buddy? Why now, where have you been?”. He hasn’t left me since age 13. He is so on edge and really worried about Emma, it’s freaking me out. But Emma physically seems okay, so there’s not much I can do. “Morrigan was hurt because of me Liam. I needed some time to come to terms with that. In all of my time as her mate, that’s never happened”. Whoa, shit. That’s deep. “Did it occur to you it wasn’t because of you Kalen, but me? You’re stuck in my body”. This brings up those all too familiar feelings of guilt that Emma raged about me having. “No, this is different. She was almost gone forever Liam”. His words shock me. “Oh. I’m sorry Kalen, I didn’t know. Have you been able to reach her?”. I can feel his sadness. “No. When she heals she goes to the lunar realm which I cannot reach. Selene told me that she is okay though”. I feel so selfish for not having been there for him through all this. “I’m sorry Kalen. I haven’t exa
Morrigan’s POV Entering Selene’s realm, I feel entirely different. “Selene, will I ever be able to return here?”. She turns to me, taking my hand. “Typically my wolves do not have access to me, no. However, Emma is my own blood and you have always been my sister so you two have a direct link and may visit any time. Emma, will also learn this… in time of course”. “What happens when Emma’s body dies? Where will I go and what will happen to Kalen now that I am no longer celestial?”. Selene smiles, offering me to take a seat beside her. “When a human dies, their wolf returns to the fountain to be repaired with another human in future. Not all wolves are repaired. There must be a link. I promise that you and Kalen will always remain together, my darling. And Kalen will return to the fountain with you when it’s his time”. “Emma is no ordinary human, Morrigan. When the time comes, she will fill a very important role but until that time, she must thrive under your caref
Ruth’s POV We’ve been rushing around this tent all day and my feet are killing me. Dana has been super grumpy so I’ve been desperately trying to stay out of her way. Mom had to go with Emma to the hospital which has me worried. Suddenly my phone buzzes, “hey mom, is she ok?”. “Yeah, she’s fine. Morrigan is back which I think is what caused it but you’ll never guess what else… she’s having twins”. Whoa… “are you serious? Since when?”. Ian sees my face and comes walking over, “and her stomach is significantly bigger since Mor got back, it’s nuts. Anyway, good news yeah?”. I smile at my mate as he hugs me from behind, gently rubbing my belly. “Yeah mom, that’s great news. We’re finishing up in the tent. We’ll see ya at dinner”. Hanging up, I turn around to kiss Ian. “They’re having twins! And her wolf came back… freaking crazy”. Suddenly we hear something drop followed by a slew of curse words. Heading into the tent, I see a very overtired Dana picking s
Zak’s POV The minute I realized Dana was in heat, I went into panic mode. We have over a hundred unmated wolves in the territory and most are warriors. That scent can travel several miles. Thank god Ruth was there with her. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. When I finally get to the packhouse after a few scuffles, it has been locked down. Good. There’s only one way in at this point and only the family knows about it. I use the secret entrance and make my way upstairs. Getting to my apartment, I hear… Leo? How is he near her, he’s unmated. When he answers the door, he’s totally calm. He’s talking to me about being naked and showering. I notice the mark on his neck. “Are you mated?”, I blurt out. He lightly smacks my shoulder. “Out of everything I just said, you heard nothing?”. He looks towards the bathroom. “I was just confused as to how you could be here and be unaffected is all and yes, I do need to shower you’re right. I just want to check on her
Dana’s POV I don’t know how to describe the feeling that is building inside of me. As I lay here with Zak, I feel so blissful yet longing. I want to do things with him that I swore I would never do with any man, ever. No part of me is fighting this. I want him so badly and I don’t think it’s just the heat. As our kiss becomes more passionate, I need to be closer to him. I throw my leg over his waist. He gently uses it to pull me so I’m on top of him. I continue assaulting him with my mouth. I want to kiss every part of him. His shirt is pissing me off. Finally I start pulling on it, making him laugh. “What’s the magic word?”. I know he’s just teasing me now, so I decide to play his little game. I grab the hem on the shirt I’m wearing and yank it up and over, leaving me exposed. He looks first at my eyes and then at my body, running his fingers from my collar bone, down my shoulder to my breast and my thigh. “You are incredible Dana”. I can feel his erection under
Leo’s POV After the disaster earlier today, we were able to disable the house and just keep the suites under lock and key. I go to open the front door, forgetting about my earlier request to block off the entrance. Well shit. Shockingly, she did a decent job. My wolf pushes forward, “mate is small enough. She can fit through and get in the truck”. Sometimes… and I mean, very rarely, my wolf can have decent ideas. “Michelle, come hither!”. She giggles, coming over… “yes, my liege”, bowing. “You think you can crawl through there and climb inside to move the truck?”. She wiggles her fingers like a maniac, “we’ll find out won’t we”. She really is my perfect match. In a lot of ways, she reminds me so much of Emma. Their personalities mainly, though their eyes, are somewhat similar. She comes squealing back over, “can you believe that was my first time driving!? I did it!”. My face drops… “Let’s just keep that little secret between us shall we”. I pull her into a side
Dan’s POV Not being able to sleep, I decided to go for a walk. I laid in bed for a few hours until 3 am but I couldn’t stare at the ceiling any more. I start out of the building with my mug and my hoodie, enjoying the crisp cool air. I figured the time alone might help me think straight… maybe? “What are you doing up so early?”... the voice from the bench came out of nowhere, sending my mug flying. Well so much for coffee. I hear the old familiar cackle of the one and only Lee. “Grandpa, you scared the shit out of me”. He picks up the shards of my mug. I liked that mug. “Danny, my boy. In all the years I’ve known you… I haven’t once been able to scare you. What’s eating you son? And why on Selene’s green planet are you up this early?”. I eye the old man suspiciously. “One could ask you the same… also, where did you come from? I haven’t seen you around for some time”. Now that I think on it, where has he been? “I had to take care of some necessary business b
