The pain was steadily increasing as the time passed. But it still felt like I was a way out from getting this baby out of me. Aziel had called about an hour ago and said they landed, but I know it takes an hour to get from Dallas to us. They should be here any time now and I couldn’t wait to see Aziel’s face. Another hard contraction hit me, and I pulled my legs up to my chest, or at least what would be my chest if not for my stomach being in the way. Mother looked at me with concern. I think she was worried that this wasn’t moving as fast as she hoped, but it had only been four hours.We heard a loud knock from the front door. “I’ll be right back.” Mother said with a look at me. Walking out into the hallway, she cracked the door. I could hear her light footsteps fading away until they got to the front door. I heard her open in and a laugh.Kade’s voice reached me, his excited tone giving away how happy he was to be here. “Yeah. He’s been like that for a while now. Can’t figure out wh
Looking down I can see my babies head coming out. Mother had called for a midwife. And it happened soon after. Aziel was taking it like a boss, still holding my hand through it all. Once the baby was out the midwife, Claire turned to him. “Alpha, would you like to do the honors?” She had already clamped the cord off.He looked green as he gave a mumbled “yes”. And cut the cord. I never thought to ask him if he was okay with this part of birth.“Momma, we need skin time.” Came Claire’s voice. I opened my arms up to the baby. She laid the baby on my chest. “Are you ready for the sex?” Aziel and I looked at her with bated breath. “Alpha and Luna, you have a healthy… (This pause wasn’t needed) girl!”I looked at Aziel first, would he hate me for giving him a daughter. All he did was rub her head lightly with a “Perfect” on his lips. I smiled at him and looked down at our little girl.“What should we name her?”“What names did you have picked out?”Side-eyeing him, I couldn’t remember but
Hello, Future Generations. My name is Saber. I’m the current Queen-to-be of the Fox Skulk (Foxes have Skulks like wolves have packs). I understand if this is a new concept to you or if you think that this book you have found can’t be real. I mean, Fox Skulk? Fox Shifters? Magic? If you’re a normal human living your mundane life, I’m sorry, but I’m about to blow the lid off everything you know.At the time I write this journal I’m 22. Life is just starting. I’m from a small nowhere town in Texas. Texas is still a state, right? If not, please find an old map and educate yourself.So, to start, let’s cover all the questions I’m sure you’ve had:How do you and others (yes, there are other supernatural beings) stay hidden?Well, it’s rather simple. Most people don’t question that weird town your drive through. The rather tiny one. Maybe you’ll stop for gas there or get a bite to eat. The people are overly nice, but there’s just something about them. Something off that you just can’t seem t
Once more, the humans could be seen walking about in the open field. Having a campfire, dancing, and drinking are on the agenda. We didn't mind not being invited to any of their parties because they never invited any of us. We would intentionally mess with them when in fox form just to annoy them. Because it's hard to imagine somebody who wouldn't start to question their sanity if they saw a few foxes in a region where such animals aren't often seen. Something unusual can be said about this Texas town of modest size. We were all compelled to attend classes with the humans since there just weren't enough of us. The skulk had attempted to educate all of us at home, but because to the baby boom that occurred when I was three years old, this was no longer a viable option. We felt compelled to try to "fit in" with the other children who were human. They were able to pick up on the fact that something was off about us, which eventually led to us turning against them and them turning against
I couldn’t sleep. It was nagging at me that she could just send me away like this. All I’ve ever known is this skulk. All I’ve ever done is train to take it over and to be the best leader for everyone. My magic is strong, but I don’t know how I’ll fair in the world without back up.Vix, why would she do this to us? How does she think we’re going to manage alone? I ask my fox in a panic.You’re worrying too much. You have me and I’m all you’ll ever need. I could practically see her rolling her eyes at me.But what if something goes wrong and we get captured?By those mangy mutts? We’ll be fine, Saber. Go to sleep. We have a busy day today preparing for the upcoming journey. I could feel her curling up and getting comfortable in the back of my mind. She also slammed down the barrier between us for good measure. Apparently, she needs her beauty sleep more than she needs to help me work through this.I fluffed my pillow and tried to get comfortable. Falling into a fitful sleep, I still ha
I moved stealthily through the forest, sniffing the air for any sign of approaching scouts as I snuck through the woods. Because of the way I moved the wind was blowing about me, my scent was carried far and wide over the area. However, when infiltrating the area of a wolf, one can never take precautions seriously enough.As I got closer, I could make out what appeared to be a sizable home. I was aware that they possessed these structures; they refer to them as "packhouses," and their purpose is to concentrate all the members of the pack in a single location so that they are simpler to protect. But not far off, I could see little houses sprinkled around.If they’re going to live like us, why bother with the grand house? I asked Vix.Maybe they’re over-compensating for something? I can’t wait to see this Alpha we’ve heard so much about. Returning my attention to the home, I searched for an unlocked window through which I could enter. These supercilious wolves, who are convinced that n
It had taken me a while to figure out how to get into his rooms. Normally, he would leave at 4 am to go to the training field located about a mile away. I would follow him to observe his daily routine, but never get close enough for him to sense something was anything wrong or odd going on. I hadn’t seen him close, and I hoped never to get close. He was a monster of a man, this Alpha named Aziel, roughly 6 foot 5 inches, with muscles that looked like he could stop a truck. Golden brown hair was a mess on his head, it appeared to be thick and would be fun to run my fingers though. Wait, I didn’t mean that. But I never got close enough to see his face.After picking the lock to get into his room, I pulled my wind down so I would be able to look more carefully without disrupting anything.“Well, hello.” I froze. My heart started to hammer against my chest when I heard that soft silky voice. It’s a sound I could listen to for hours. What? No. I snapped myself out of it and slowly turned f
I pulled a current of wind around me as I ran out of the pack house, shifting as I took to the forest surrounding it. Vix shooting into the tangled underbrush. I laughed to myself as we ran and imagined the look of frustration, pain, and shock on that wanna-be Alpha Wolf Mates face.It was funny, but it’s going to make it hard for us to have Kits or Pups later on. Vix said in my head as she leapt over a downed log.Who said we’ll even accept this wanna-be macho Alpha as our Mate? It’s not like he came to us with roses and love. I scoffed back.Well, we did just steal from him and kick him in the family jewels. I could practically see her rolling her eyes.We need the ring. We didn’t come here to meet our mate, fall in love, and start a family. Also, he’s so cocky. We would never work, and you know it. No one controls us, and if what they say is true, that’s all those types want to do. I moved the current of air to cover our scent as I heard the howls and pounding paws in the backgroun
