I lifted my sweet mate into my embrace surprised by the things she had told Xavier's surrogate. Xavier and Ashton were still chuckling over her asking the kind woman if she planned on having a threesome with both the men to create the child she would carry for the couple. When Noah offered to explain the process she stuck her hand directly in his face telling him to shut his trap. A while afterward she passed out. She was going to be upset that she missed the union of our son and his mate. Xavier promised me that they would have a proper ceremony once they returned. I wished everyone well as I transported myself and Violet to our suite within the council home. Violet was mumbling incoherently in her sleep. I smiled and kissed her cheek and she smiled in her state."Go to sleep, my heart," I told her softly and she nestled against her pillow and continued resting.My uncle came to my door and asked me if I was ready."Do you think we can visit my uncle Jazz before Violet wakes?" I aske
I was sleeping soundly. My mind was at ease for once in my long life and I felt deliciously warm. Frowning I felt the panicked shove against my shoulder and opened my eyes slowly to see Damon looking down at me. I opened my eyes wider to see he was grinning at me from ear to ear. I glanced over at Violet still fast asleep with her mouth slightly open and smiled."Where did you find my son's first love, Kari?" Damon asked excitedly."By the Urals on my uncle's pack lands," I answered and his eyes narrowed."You know Russian?" He asked curiously and chuckled out a da. Danon laughed."I'm originally from Chechnya," he said staunchly. "Small human world," I mumbled softly and he nodded, still standing there awkwardly. I looked at him and his eyes widened."Oh right, I came in here to let you know Amelia is in labor and she wants her mother," he said solemnly and I grunted as I shook Violet awake. She looked at me with a scowl and mumbled a growly what? "Amelia is having the pup and want
Grayson and I appeared in an area that was very primitive. The buildings were basically shacks constructed from planks of aged wood. Livestock was in crudely made pens."Where is our son?" Grayson growled roughly. He had shifted to his Lycan and I followed suit by doing the same. I heard a crowd and waved Grayson toward a large gathering around a dirt pit dug into the ground. Inside an ugly creature was fighting with our boy who was shining as his Lycan. I felt proud of him for finding his internal sun. "PARSONS!" Grayson growled sternly, making me jump. I followed after his eyes and saw a huge burly man sitting on a throne of sorts, eyeing Grayson with hatred."Isn't that the last name of your first mate, Reilly?" I questioned sourly and he grunted a harsh yeah."So that's her father?" I asked with a nervous shudder. "Our son is mates with your first mate's little brother? What a strange coincidence," I growled bitterly and Grayson nodded and pushed through the crowd to get to the
Watching little Maksim or Max, wobble toward my smiling mate I leaned back against the couch cushions, feeling complete contentment. Violet has been in seventh heaven and is ecstatic about helping to raise our grandson for our daughter Amelie. All of the vampires with their mates decided to visit their homelands and our daughter asked us if we'd watch Maksim while they were away. Violet jumped at the opportunity and said absolutely yes. We were enjoying the slowly maturing child when Selene finally made an appearance. She was carrying three wriggling pups with her hands clenched around clothing. She gazed at both of us with a look of exhaustion."These are your grandchildren. They are all hybrids and blood drinkers. I'm not certain if they inherited the Lycan gene yet and won't until they have reached maturity. Anyway, I was told by Noah that Xavier is off with Ashton and to bring them to you as he doesn't have knowledge of raising children," she growled softly, releasing the obnoxious
I am Violet Wilson, a petite young woman with lovely doe-like brown eyes, like my late biological mother. Truly a beauty underneath my dirt-stained cheeks and timid disposition. Today I have reached an age to have the opportunity of finding my mate. I've been part of the pack my father is a member of for six of those eighteen years of existence. The pack was run differently as they held slaves that did most of the work. Like me, some were bastard children. Others were outcasts from other packs around the area. The pack Alpha, Frank was a cruel man I was told as were most of the Alphas surrounding the areas. The last several years have been heart-wrenching and back-breaking. I don't feel downtrodden because I didn't always have a pitiful existence. My real mother, bless her soul, had treated me with kindness and love before she was murdered by a rogue wolf pack. Afterward, I was sent to my father Daniel. My mother, I discovered, was one of several of Daniel's mistresses. I was label
I woke up not excited at all about what was to happen that day. I rose to don my same dirty clothes and would have to clean them soon before Isabella made a complaint. I rushed outside, brought in the linens for the guest rooms, and started remaking the beds in each of the six guest rooms. I was already exhausted, not getting a good night's rest from my hunger and worries. I gritted my teeth seeing the time and ran to the kitchen to find my father cooking. He looked at me and shook his head as Isabella started her screeching. She stood up, grabbed me by the shoulders, and yelled at me."You're going to go to the pack house! How dare you make your father prepare the morning meal," she spat then slapped me hard across the cheek. My eyes watered as she dragged me to my father and screamed at him to take his whores child to the pack house."Get her numbered and prepared for the pack house but bring her back because we need her for the banquet," she demanded. Shaking my head I pleaded with
I rushed to my small bare room and scooped up the wrapped clothing. I head back down the stairs slowly and listen for noise. I could hear Isabella cursing as she tried to finish the gravy I had started. She was stirring it but the burner wasn't even on. I rolled my eyes as I watched her from the shadows. She had never cooked an item in her life at least since I arrived and would probably burn water. My wolf said the last bit within my mind, surprising me. I grinned slightly and moved more down the steps. Isabella ran out of the kitchen and I made my way quickly out of the back door. I ran across the landscape and into the woods. I slowed and was breathing heavily at the exertion. I scented the lake and followed my nose to the large body of water. Grinning, I began taking the soiled clothes from my frame, being sure to take out the small piece of lye soap I dove into the cool water and basked in the refreshing feel against my skin. I began lathering my soap and scrubbing my skin. I s
I stood in the doorway of my room staring down at Jack still sleeping on my bed and grunted. His eyes blinked open and he growled at me."Why are you standing in my doorway bitch?" he snapped and I raised my blonde brow at him."You're in my room in the servant's part of the house and your mom's in the kitchen. Good luck sneaking out, sicko," I said softly. His eyes narrowed and he groaned, obviously hung over.He stood and stumbled a bit and glared at me. I stepped to the side as he stumbled past me and clambered down the stairs. I heard Isabella shrieking downstairs and rubbed my forehead when I heard her yelling my number up the stairs. I went down the stairs slowly and when I got to the kitchen Isabella was holding Jack and scowling at me."You are a whore like your mother! How dare you try and seduce my sweet boy, you slut," she growled. I shook my head and was thankful that the pack Alpha was no longer at the table."Once the celebration is over you will leave immediately for the
