Amelie
"Mommy, wake up everyone is coming today." A tiny hand caresses my face. As I open my eyes, I see Rose sitting on the bed next to me.
"Good morning, Rosie sweetheart." I pull her into a hug. I look around to see where Daisy is, and to my amusement, I see her jump in the air and land square on Gideon's chest. Not only waking him up but also knocking the wind out of him a little.
I hold back my laughter as Gideon turns and looks to me for help. "Daisy, honey, you can't do that to daddy. You might hurt him."
Daisy stands on the bed with her arms curled in the air like a bodybuilder and growls, "Nothing can hurt, daddy. He's the toughest wolf in the world."
Gideon grabs her and tickles her, and she squeals. "That's right; your daddy's the toughest daddy in the world. Don't forget it." He lets up only for a second before tickling her again.
"OK, girls, sit on the bed and be good while mommy and daddy

Chapter 52 Amelie "I know. I am just excited. This will be the first time they will meet the girls, see the Packhouse and see me as a Luna." I squeeze his hand. "You are a perfect Luna! It's like you were born to be one!" he winks at me. We both laugh together. "Well, my lookouts tell me that the first of our guests are arriving soon." Gideon has strategically asked certain Alphas to come early today to discuss ongoing investigations and other inter-pack business. Since my family will stay a few extra days, they didn't come early but will handle pack business in the next few days. "OK, I'm going to take the girls and head over to the main packhouse first and check on the staff." I take a few more bites of food before grabbing the girls and heading to the main Packhouse. Shay and Easton join us as Jorden takes Ryan to check on the ceremony preparations outside. It's now early spring, so that the evening will be perfect for an out

Chapter 53 Amelie Gideon and I brought the girls into our room while we got ready. I had decided on one shoulder fitted cocktail dress that hit mid-thigh in navy blue—paired with gold strappy sandal pumps, gold and lace agate earrings I made. I picked out a navy-blue button-up for Gideon and grey slacks and tan loafers. I top him off with a vest that matched his slacks, and of course, he rolled up his sleeves and left the top two buttons of his shirt undone. I knew the girls would want to match us even if they were not going to the cocktail party after dinner, so I already had a navy-blue dress ready for them. They were fluffy and frilly and also had a little glitter in the fabric. They looked like the night sky. Once they were in their fancy dress, they just kept twirling till they fell down. I put Celeste's training into action. These looked like ordinary evening clothes, but I knew better it was battel armor. We were going to be starti

Chapter 54AmelieWhen I came back, the servers passed out champion and sparkling cider, prepping for Gideon's toast. I make my way to Gideon's side. A server came past and brought me some sparkling cider and Gideon champion. The room dimes a bit more, and there is a spotlight on Gideon and me."I would like to thank you all for coming and helping us celebrate this momentous occasion. I was lucky enough to be blessed by the goddess in many ways, but the biggest blessing has come in the form of my second-chance-mate, Amelie Ashwood. As all of you know, she is the eldest daughter of the Ashwood Pack and the Black Hills Pack and sister of the Hill Country Pack. The greatest blessing of all is our soon-to-be explaining family. Please raise your glasses in a toast to my Luna, mate, and mother of my children." Everyone claps and cheers while toasting.Gideon and I raise our glasses to each other and take a drink. As soon as I smell the cider, I pu

Chapter 55 Gideon "We still don't have any suspects. Does anyone come to mind?” I ask Alpha John and Logan as we sit in my office. Amelie's Luna ceremony is tonight under the crescent moon. We have over 350 guests, and almost all are Alphas and Lunas from all over the US. One of these so-called guests tried to harm my mate and my heir. "It's hard to say, but I don't feel it's one of the bigger packs as most are related to Amelie. They also wouldn't try to grab power like this. I do think whichever pack targeted Celeste 18 years ago is the same pack who tried to harm Amelie and my grandson." John is standing and pacing the length of my office. "I think Tate and that witch of a she-wolf have something to do with this. At least they are part of the plot." Alpha Logan growls as he sits with his arms folded on the sofa. "Logan's right. It only makes sense they are somehow involved. I think Tate tried to get Amelie pregnant, but since

Chapter 56 Gideon "Let me see, she is 26 and looks like she is a Beta's daughter. Her birth pack was Koray." We all look at each other there's no way that is a coincidence. Kory is Alpha Flynn’s pack and John’s cousin. Not to mention the financial power house to all packs through Flynn’s investment firm. To be the Beta’s daughter of a powerful pack came with privileges and gave Nox prestige. This smelled fishy. "Did they fake a Rogue attack too! Look at the dates. It's right after Hope found her mate the same week Amelie almost died in that fight with Tate. If she hadn't gotten away, what were they going to try and do with her!" I slam my fist on my desk, and I hear a cracking noise. "Gideon, calm down. We need to make a clear plan. It's the only way to take them down without repercussions from the Alpha and Elder Council. If we act prematurely, we will be the ones paying the price." John is yelling. I have never heard him yell before. I slump back in

Chapter 57 Amelie "OK, do your worst!" I jokingly say to Celeste's "Glam Squad." "Oh, honey! Stop it. You are going to scare the twins!" Celeste retorts. I look over at my daughters, and they are enjoying a bubble bath. "They look fine to me." "Relax, you are going to crack your mud mask." Sam, the glam squad leader, says. "Yes, ma'am!" I give her a salute. I lean back and try to relax, but I have so much on my mind. Someone tried to harm my baby. Would they try and hurt the twins? Tate and Karen still haven't been found, and I had a group of she-wolves that didn't respect me as their Luna. Along with all my pack duties and changes, I was implementing. Honestly, I don't know if I will ever be able to relax again. I feel two sets of tiny hands grabbing my arms. I look down, and the girls are out of their bath. "Mommy, why do you have green stuff on your face?" Rose asks. "It's called a mud mask. It

Chapter 58 Amelie "Please be seated." He pauses, allowing everyone to sit. "Thank you all for coming to witness my mate Amelie Ashwood's Luna Ceremony. She is my fated second-chance mate blessed to me by the moon goddess. Now she will become the blessing to the Druit Guard Pack and the mother of our next Alpha. We will start the Ceremony." I step to the left of my mother, Celeste, and Hope. I pick up an oak chalice. There is a basin of rainwater in front of them, and they are each holding a flower. Mom steps forward first. "I Anna Bye, Luna of the Black Hills Pack, give the blessing of the Mother Luna. You are a mother to all in your pack." She drops a pink carnation into the basin of rainwater. Then she extends a claw and cuts the palm of her hand. I raise the cup to catch the blood. "I accept the blessing of Mother Luna." I bow to my mother, and she smiles as she steps back. Hope steps forward. "I Hope Ashwood, Luna of

Chapter 59 Gideon "Please welcome Alpha Gideon Alois and Luna Amelie Ashwood." Everyone turns toward the door. I stand as tall as my 6-foot 5-inch frame will allow and pushing my Alpha aura out. My aura is different. Since I am the Alpha of the Druit Guard, I hold more authority. Only Alpha John has more. Tyson takes a deep breath before announcing. "Also welcome the Alpha and Lunas of the Ashwood Pack, Black Hills Pack, and the Hill Country Pack along with their heirs." We all enter the ballroom. I look over at Amelie, and her eyes are still glowing silver. I wonder if this will subside, It doesn't bother me, but it might scare some. I can feel her tension as she holds my arm. I'm glad we have her family behind us. It might make my plan for information gathering slightly more challenging but not impossible. I wanted to pretend we were a family divided or at least at odds, but after the display, the goddess put on that idea went out the
