I held onto Grayson's shirt, surprised to see two new Lycans and shocked that one was a God in the living flesh on our porch."I am Sköll and this is Dagon, the Lycan king of all the wolf provinces in the Lycan Realm. We all bowed our heads except for the vampires who weren't impressed."What brings you both to this realm and my door?" Grayson questioned after shaking both their hands."I knew your father, Slade. He was a good man and a just Alpha and you are his son that holds his same values," Sköll said and Grayson frowned."I murdered him and my mother in cold blood over my first mate... I was a ruthless bastard and have only changed recently due to my second chance mate that I was generously given," he mumbled softly and I grinned slightly knowing that I was responsible for him rediscovering his heart. "Oh yes, the tiny Violet McDonald. Dynamite certainly does come in small packages. I've heard much about your life, little lady. Your mother was a sweet woman treated unfairly and
Grayson carried me up to his bedroom and laid me on his bed and I opened my eyes a little from the lack of movement."The moon Goddess told me that some of us will die," I mumbled sadly. Grayson sighed and nodded."Yes, my love, it is what happens when one goes to war, unfortunately," he mumbled softly."She didn't mention who it would be, did she?" He asked curiously. I shook my head and wiped my eyes not wanting anyone to perish. Grayson sat down beside me and clasped his hands together."I would love you to have my last name before we go into battle. Would you wed me before we go?" He asked softly as he gazed down at me."I don't have a ring to give you, but yes, Forest, I would be honored. Perhaps I could get another boost from Damon, though because I truly am beat," I groaned and he patted my leg."We can take care of it tomorrow. Let's both cuddle and get some much-needed sleep," he said softly and leaned over and kissed my forehead."Have good dreams, Violet," he mumbled sincere
I opened my eyes to see Mabel standing over me with a creepy smile on her face holding a gauzy white fabric in her arms."What? Why are you here looking at me like that?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes."A big owly wolf told me you were getting married today so I brought you a traditional gown to get you ready," she replied excitedly. I sat up holding the covers over my nakedness. "Put on a robe and come with me to Amelia's room so you can shower and we can pretty you up," she growled matter-of-factly. "Alright," I yawned and quickly slipped on one of Grayson's long satin robes. My bare feet pitter-pattered after Mabel as I followed her down the hall. I was pulling the ring from my finger to hand to her and Mabel waved her hand at me."There won't be a ring exchange, dear," she said softly and I raised my brow."Sköll gave his ring to Grayson and it cannot be removed," she said earnestly. I asked if they tried butter. Mabel chuckled and shook her head as she tapped on the door we had a
"After all this you and I are taking a much-deserved honeymoon, all by ourselves," Grayson growled deeply into my ear. I grinned slightly as a shiver traveled down my back and nodded as I laid my head against his chest. I was smiling yet moisture was blurring my vision. Wiping away my tears of happiness I noticed the shimmer of the ring on Grayson's finger. My eyes widened as I lifted his hand to get a closer look."How and why are you wearing an actual God's ring, husband?" I questioned Grayson. He looked sheepishly down at me then over at Sköll."She called me husband, it's so adorable," Grayson snickered softly. The Lycan God chuckled and pointed at the Alpha's hand."My ring chose him to replace me, dear. You are married to the new Lycan God," Sköll grinned as my mouth fell open very unattractively. A felt Grayson's fingers under my chin to close my mouth as Davorin grunted, apparently overhearing what Sköll had said."Never thought you'd get a break or find a worthy replacement,
I watched my daughter and wife enter the temple and was about to rush after them when Sköll yanked me back by the shoulder."The door has been bolted from the inside…I heard the counterweights fall into place."Fly me over Damon," I demanded from the vampire king. He gave me a stoic look."I used up all my juice saving your heavy uncle. You know the sun tires us," he mumbled softly and laid back once again against the tree in exhaustion. I looked at Devin and he shook his head."Trust me Alpha, I'm concerned about Amelia but my father and I are limited during daylight hours," he said disheartened. I jerked myself from Sköll's grip and began pounding on the thick wooden door that blocked my way. I scanned the height of the wall and grinned at my uncle."Hoist me over the wall, uncle," I mumbled and he looked at me, the wall, and shrugged. Michael bent over and I climbed up on his shoulders as he shoved me up with a grunt. I grabbed the top of the wall while he pushed my feet up. Losing
The home was amazing and Mabel and I entered the foyer with excitement shining in our curious gazes. I sniffed the air and a familiar scent filled my nostrils."Do you smell Fillan?" I asked Mabel in a panic and her eyes narrowed. I could smell blood as well and follow after the scent. I entered a huge living room and screamed at the scene before me. Lexi was there laying next to Fillan. Both with their arms reaching out to one another with deep bloody lacerations in their chests. Their mouths had been gagged. The blood that pooled around them showed that they had bled out staring at one another. I ran to my son's body as sobs racked my body. Mabel held Lexi in her arms. "Who did this?" I growled roughly and Mabel shook her head as she looked down at Lexi's wide dead eyes. The words the Moon Goddess had told me filled my mind with more confusion. "She wouldn't have lied to you about your son. I'm certain that she is unaware and I will contact her now," Sierra whined in my mind and I
"Jaxon, knock your shit off. You're Noah's mate and you are gay as the spring festival," Raven said firmly and Violet looked at me frowning."I thought it was him too, honey but the scent is coming from over there," I said solemnly and Violet's eyes followed mine at the cluster of people clinking wine glasses and drinking.Her eyes narrowed as she checked out each individual in the distance. I watched her hand shift and her claws extend."Do you see someone of interest?" I leaned to her and asked. She side-eyed me and growled yes. I gestured for her to proceed and she walked straight through the crowd and stopped abruptly. I reached her in concern."I'm hungry…for blood," she mumbled sourly and I offered her my wrist. I was confused when she told me her wolf told her to drink that man's blood over there. My brow creased seeing the brown-haired male standing off to the side and leaning against a wall on his right shoulder."I can't see the tattoo with his arm on the wall but the scent
I stood there watching the odd wolf God behaving strangely. He told me to wait a minute as he disappeared from my eyes and then reappeared beside Fillan. Now that Grayson had left he glared over at me making me second-guess myself."He is the crazy one and he is very angry that you got the better of him before. You weakened him but still need to be cautious," Sierra whined in my subconscious. I started wringing my hands nervously."I wonder what is keeping Grayson," I said casually. Lykaios's eyes narrowed and I frowned when he looked down at my son's body and ran his finger down his cheek. He split the skin open with his long claw-tipped finger."You know he fought valiantly," he growled low and looked up at me and I stepped back as he started shifting in the enclosed space. I glanced around for a weapon and ran out into the hall toward the exit only to find it bolted from the top. Damn it for being short. I glanced down the hall and saw the huge black wolf stalking down the narrow ha
