Tori POV“I am going to kill Ronin myself!” My father declared and before we knew it, Luna Daria had hit the floor, out cold.“Luna!” I ran over and knelt beside her holding her hand. I lightly tapped her face to get her to wake up, but there was no movement. “Way to go, dad!” I grumbled as Rick came over next to me.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make her pass out. I’m not really going to kill him!”“Obviously, she doesn’t know that. When she wakes up, apologize, and explain what you mean. She’s had enough trauma in her life.” He nodded sadly.“Help me get her on the couch please.” He knelt and picked her up gently and placed her comfortably on the couch. I sat next to her and grabbed hold of both her hands.“Luna? Can you hear me? Daria?” I said softly so not to startle her. Mystic released some of her healing aura and we created the bond with her to bring her gently out of her sleep.The images I saw brought tears to my eyes. I saw her husband, Alpha Damon, and Daria through different st
Merrick POVI grabbed Teaghan’s hand and quickly left the room with her in tow.“Rick?” She called to me as she jogged to keep up with me. I didn’t realize I was walking that fast, but I needed to get her alone. I slowed my steps a fraction but kept moving. Without another word, we continued on to my room, now it will be our room once she moves her things in.I reach the door and punch in the code and swing it open pulling Teaghan inside and slamming it shut. I immediately pushed her up against the door and my lips found their purchase on hers. So soft, warm, and moist like they were waiting just for me.“Teaghan...” I whispered into her ear and landed kisses down her neck and across her jaw. “I need you…” My hands drifted across her hips and up her flat, muscled belly and over her firm breasts, pinching the nipples through her lacy bra. I felt her hands drag down my back, her claws slighted shifted and over my ass, giving it a firm squeeze.“I’m here only for you Alpha” She whispered
Tori POVAfter taking care of Luna, Victor and I went for a walk in the rose garden. He asked me about my meeting with Dr. MacDonald and I shared my concerns. Victor was worried and angry when he learned that Dr. MacDonald touched me. However, I assured him that I was fine and had handled the situation well. “Eric was in there with you?” I nodded with a smile.“Yes. Tammy linked him to come in when Alpha Colton became angry. Apparently, I don’t know how to speak properly to an Alpha! Who Knew!” I said sarcastically as Victor chuckled and pulled me in again.“Yeah, go figure! I’d expect nothing less.”I felt a slight pressure and scratching in my head. It felt weird but I dismissed it and shook my head.“I didn’t like the way he was treating Eric when he came in. That arrogant piece of shit tried talking down to him and belittling him in front of us! If I could shift, I would’ve let Mystic tear his ass up!” I pounded my fist into my other hand and Victor rubbed my arms.“Sounds like a
Victor POVI witnessed Tori collapse to her knees as I shouted for her. Her eyes were hazy, and tears were streaming down her face. Despite her pain, she was completely oblivious to the people around her. It was clear that Mystic was attempting to come forward with Tori conscious, and it was causing her extreme discomfort."Tori! Can you hear me?" I knelt beside her and grasped her shoulders firmly. Rick knelt in front of her and took hold of her face."Tori? It's me, Dad. Do you hear me?" He gently ran his thumbs along her cheeks, trying to get her to focus on him and not the pain. “Bumblebee, can you hear me?” Rick whispered as his voice cracked slightly waiting for her to answer.I saw her blink and then tears fell from her eyes. A slight frown came across her features before she sobbed out a heartbreaking cry.“Mystic!” She screamed and fell to the floor sobbing heavily. I grabbed her tighter to my side and leaned my forehead against hers.“Baby, what happened?” I asked softly as
Victor POVRick decided to call it a night and send everyone to their rooms and we’d pick up in the morning after breakfast. I carefully picked Tori up from the couch and cradled her to my chest as I carried her to my room. Once inside, I gently laid her on the bed and removed her shoes. Standing there staring at her, I took in her beautiful face, her long, dark hair that cascaded across the pillow, and her pouty lips that were slightly apart as she slept peacefully. I couldn’t help but admire her, not just the soft, sexy form lying in bed, but the strength and beauty within her.So much has happened to her in the last week most people would curl up and cry themselves into oblivion. Tori went head-on to each and everything that came her way, including me. I fell fast and hard for her from the moment I met her; I knew there was nothing that would keep me away and I would do anything to have her. I loved her more than life itself, and that included all her abilities good and bad. The am
Colton POVI was pacing around my office, waiting for my guard to arrive. I had sent him on an errand, and he was due back any minute. While waiting, I stood by the window, looking out into the night. I noticed a few couples hurrying across the courtyard, trying to make it inside before curfew. I had recently realized that I was losing control of the pack, as too many members were wandering around with nosy eyes. Therefore, I had placed a curfew on them, so that everyone would be home by eleven o'clock at night unless they had my permission to be out. I was too close to achieving my goal and didn't need anyone to mess it up.I recently learned some fascinating news about Alpha Merrick. This news was something I could use to my advantage in achieving my goal. The Alpha had taken a chosen mate and would announce her as Luna. This was another bargaining chip for me to use since he had cast aside his omega play toy. It had turned out that the omega was useful in other ways, but she was to
Luna Daria POV“Please be careful, Ronin. I love you. See you soon.”“Love you too Mom. See you soon.”After hanging up with Ronin, I found myself pacing the room, feeling the weight of the responsibility I had taken on. Ronin had agreed to come to Mystic Moon to discuss the possibility of an alliance with Alpha Merrick, but we needed to keep his visit a secret. If Colton found out, he would surely retaliate, and innocent lives would be lost. I knew that we needed to find a peaceful solution to our conflict, and I was hopeful that the elders would see the truth in Ronin's heart and support him as the rightful heir to the alpha position.However, Ronin was insistent on coming to the pack immediately, and I had to ask Alpha Merrick for permission for him to enter. Alphas were notoriously protective of their land, and I wasn't sure how he would react. But I knew that we had to take a chance and try to make this alliance work, for the sake of both of our packs. So, I took a deep breath an
Rick POVWell, shit.I lowered myself back onto my chair, pressing my head into my palms. The last thing I wanted was for Tori to feel isolated and lonely here. I wanted her to be embraced by everyone and treated as one of our own. Every person in this room had already become that to her, but this was exactly what I had feared. I knew that once it became public knowledge that I had found my daughter, my enemies would come from far and wide to take her and use her as a bargaining chip against me. My pack was the envy of many due to our vast number of highly skilled and lethal warriors. Eric and Victor were masters in their stations, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. However, all of that meant nothing if I didn't have my little girl here with me. She was my successor and would eventually become the leader of the pack, or at the very least, its Luna. Her mate would then become the Alpha since the council did not allow women in pack leadership positions. I found that to be incredibl
