Lily POV
One week later
Waving goodbye to Aria and the kids, I walked inside. Natalia was just finishing up for the day and I was glad to actually have the house to myself. The entire week blew by quickly as we buried the dead and fixed up the damage. We came to learn that the pack wolves were only strengthened by my change; they didn’t share the same bloodlust as I did, but received glowing red eyes, speed, and strength from our Hybrid mutation in their shifted form.
At first, I thought my bloodlust was only in wolf form, but I have noticed the hunger Aria always fought so hard to control. Aria stayed for a full week to help me adjust, and I have found with Layla’s help and Aria’s that I can control it. The only major change was no longer shifting on four paws but two legs. I can’t say I hated the change, but it was definitely taking some adjusting too. Damien said once training is up and running again, he will help me train, so I was excited to spend extra time with my mate.
Walking into the kitchen, I make myself a coffee. Tired from the past week and stepping into my Luna duties. The pack has adjusted, and we didn’t lose many of our people, but Aria and Reid lost a quarter of their pack and my father’s old pack. We lost our Beta and Damien promoted Max who I thought was very deserving of the title to Beta, Trey and Tatum were both placed third in command and had adjusted quite well to their new positions. Despite our war with rogues and Kade, Damien’s views on rogues changed, and we changed the law about killing on sight.
Callie took the Title of Beta female and Tabitha accepted my offer as Gamma. The war had really brought everyone closer and new friendship blossomed and our future looked bright and for once I was excited about it.
Sipping my coffee, I didn’t hear Damien come in, only realising when I felt his hands move across my waist, the familiar sparks of the mate bond in full effect as one of his hands moved to my breast while the other snuck its way into the waistband of my skirt.
“How was your day?” Damien’s voice next to my ear as he kissed my neck before sucking on my mark, making my answer sound more like a moan. “Good, yours?”
“Better now” He growled before his hand moved from my breast to push my skirt up before sliding my underwear to the side.
“Someone could walk in,” I moan as his fingers tease me.
Instead of answering, he spins me around before placing me on the bench before tugging my panties down and stepping between my legs. His lips devouring the skin on my neck as he nipped and sucked on it. Using my hands, I tug on his belt undoing it, before pushing his pants down slightly. Damien moves me closer to the edge, before sinking himself into my wet heat. I moan loudly at the full feeling before he moves, thrusting in and out at a fast speed, making me knock some cups into the sink as I brace my hands on the counter to hold myself in place.
My orgasm builds as he pounds into me, my stomach tightening as arousal floods me and I teeter on the edge, his movements becoming erratic and I know he is close, leaning forward I sink my fangs into his neck. He groans loudly as I lap at his neck before pulling back. His lips going to mine as he devours my lips and I feel my walls tighten around him as my orgasm washes over me, and I feel Damien thrust once more before stilling as my walls clench around his hard length and I feel his hot seed spill into me, and we are both left panting. He kisses my lips softly before we hear someone clear their throat, making both of us freeze and look toward the kitchen door.
“Really, the kitchen bench I cook there” Natalia says chuckling to herself and I feel my face turn beet red. Both Damien and I froze in place.
“Next time lock the door; I left my handbag,” Natalia says, walking over to the oven where her handbag was sitting. Damien chuckles at my embarrassment.
“Well carry on, be nice to hear the laughter of kids in this huge place. I will see you tomorrow preferably without the show at my cooking station” Natalia says walking out.
Damien laughs before stepping away, pulling his pants up and pulling my skirt down.
“You didn’t lock the door?”
“I forgot” He chuckles before helping me down and hugging me.
Six months later
Tabitha, Callie, and I were driving to the pack clinic. I had been feeling sick for the last week and a half. Tabitha refusing to take no for an answer booked the appointment before she and Callie forced me into the car. The trip took about twenty minutes before pulling up. Walking inside, Tabitha went to tell them I had arrived while I bounced little Tilly on my lap. She looked so much like Tabitha, her blonde curly hair sitting messily on her head as she cackled her head off at me bouncing her.
Tabitha sits beside me before pulling her phone out. Callie read a magazine before scrunching her face up at the picture, making me look at what she was reading. It was a picture of a woman giving birth. Callie's face looked horrified at the picture of a baby's head crowning. I chuckled at her before turning my attention back to Tilly.
When Damien suddenly walked in.
“What are you doing here?” I ask. Looking up at him.
“Tabitha messaged and said you were here, what’s wrong?” He asked.
“Nothing just feel crook, probably a bug” I tell him before turning my gaze to Tabitha incredulously that she called him from work. She shrugged, and I could see a devious smile light up her face. I was about to ask her what she was smiling about when my name was called by a nurse. She handed me a cup and asked me to pee in it.
Damien took Tilly from me holding her before kissing her little head. Damien wanted kids more than anything, and I was a little saddened it hadn’t happened for us yet. He would make a great father one day and since Tilly has been born, we always offer to babysit, and Tabitha and her family have become family to us. Tabitha was expecting her second child in a couple of days, so we have been taking Tilly a lot to let her rest.
Quickly doing what she asked, she then walks me into the same room I brought Tabitha to for her ultrasound. Confused, I look to the nurse as Damien walks in before sitting down next to the bed. Callie and Tabitha walking in as well.
I look at the nurse confused, “Really Lily, you still haven’t figured it out” Tabitha says shaking her head.
“Figured what out?” I ask as the nurse motions for me to lay down.
“Come on woman, the mood swings, the morning sickness, your sudden appetite to eat Damien every time he walks in the room and you have gained weight” She chuckles, and I see Damien sit up straighter before something clicks and a bright smile graces his face as he eyes my stomach. Here I thought I just needed to lay off the cakes Natalia keeps making.
“Your pregnant Luna” Nurse Rebecca tells me. I feel Layla stir. She had been quiet lately like she had been sleeping a lot, I thought she was only tired from our extra duties of being Luna, refusing to let me shift and sticking to herself and only coming forward in our human form.
“You knew?” I question her.
“I didn’t want to get our hopes up,” She says, yawning. Which I could understand, being on birth control for so long really messed my cycles up and I thought it would never happen so I gave up.
Rebecca pushes on my shoulder, getting me to lay down before lifting my shirt. She places the cool jelly on my belly before moving a device over it. She turns the screen so Damien and I can see. I gasp when I notice the little heartbeat on the screen.
"Yes, I knew it. We are going to be parent’s” Damien said excitedly, a huge grin plastered on his face as he leaned over kissing me.
“So here is baby A, this one here is Baby B” My eyes snap to the nurse and so does Damien’s as he stands staring at the screen intently. “Twins” He gasps.
“No, alpha Baby C is over here, you’re having triplets and you are about five weeks along” She says, and I am gobsmacked three, three babies swimming around in my womb. Damien scratches his head shocked and I hear Callie laugh at our shock, Tabitha burst out laughing at my horrified face. Layla purring excitedly in my head.
Before Damien jumps excitedly, “You’re not worried that there are three?” I ask, shocked that he was so excited while I was horrified at the thought of becoming the size of a house.
“Nope, I have super sperm” He says victoriously. Like he just won some award for getting off and impregnating me with not one but three babies. I didn’t know if I wanted to cheer or cry at the information.
“Want to know the sex?” Rebecca asks, looking to us.
“You can tell this early?”
“Werewolf pregnancies progress in half the time of human pregnancies Luna and you’re a hybrid which makes it even quicker, you know this” Rebecca answers.
“I want to know,” Damien says gazing at the screen. She zooms in and you could just make out their little arms and legs, they kind of reminded me of jellybeans with stumpy little arms and legs after a few minutes she answers.
“Baby A is a boy; Baby B is a boy and Baby C is a girl” Rebecca says beaming at us.
I could feel Damien’s excitement hitting me through the bond as he jumped up and down like an oversized man child excitedly.
“We are having pups” He announced so loud I was sure the entire town heard.
Book 2 Epilogue
Lana POV
10 years later
Today was our sixteenth birthday and of all the days my Brother Alpha Ryker had to call an Alpha meeting on his twin sister’s birthday. To say we were pissed off was an understatement. Arial and I watched from the upstairs window as Alpha’s from all over filed out of their cars before being greeted by our father and Ryker. My twin sister Arial hated the meetings just as much as me. It was one thing being twins, it was another being Lycan hybrid twins, and we always found that we copped the most stares. Once we came of age and didn’t get our wolves or shift, we knew we differed from our brother. Our mother was a direct descendant of the moon goddess, therefore, so were we.
Our brother inherited most of our father’s traits, he shifted when he was twelve and was what we call an early bloomer, but he didn’t share my mother’s Hybrid gene. Yes, he was a direct descendant like us, but for some reason he only received certain traits while my sister and I were exactly like our mother. We had no wolves and were half vampire and half Lycan. We were both saddened when we didn't get our wolves.
Ryker always spoke of how much he loved his wolf growing up. But we still had each other. Being twins means you always have another half, a best friend for life, and my sister and I were incredibly close. So, close my mother sometimes had trouble telling us apart, the only giveaway being our scents were different slightly and our personalities.
One by one, the Alpha’s filed out of their cars. Noticing my aunty Lily’s car pull up, I called Arial.
“Aunty Lil is here” I tell her, and she comes racing over to peer out the window. We watched as she and my uncle pulled the triplets from the car. They were ten now and had grown so much. We hadn’t seen them in a year because everyone had been busy.
Arial and I raced each other down the stairs to greet them, only to be grabbed by our brother as we went to race past. Ryker was fast as he gripped both our arms, tugging us beside him.
“Girls settle down” He scolded, giving us a pointed look. Ryker was the spitting image of our father and sometimes when he scolded us it was actually like our father did. Standing beside him, I cross my arms over my chest, giving him a defiant look. Aunty Lily and Uncle Damien walking in. Our nephews Abel, Asher, and our niece Amelia walk in beside them till they notice both of us and rush over. Lily goes straight to my brother, giving him a hug before kissing both Arial and I and wishing us happy birthday. Damien was greeting the other Alpha’s before they walked off down the foyer to the conference room with my father and mother.
“Lana, Arial, can you take the kids to play out back?” Lily asks us and we both nod. Taking the kids outside, they rush over to the swing set, Arial following close behind them. We push them on the swings for a bit when Amelia asks to retrieve something from the car.
“I can go get it, what do you need?”
“My book, I left it on the backseat” Amelia tells me, and I nod before walking back through the pack house heading for the front door. Going to Uncle Damien’s mustang I open the back door and see Amelia’s book sitting in the door trim. Bending over, I grab it just as another car pulls up.
Closing the door, I go to walk back inside when I hear car doors open, making me look back at the black SUV. A man around my brother’s age steps out and I instantly recognise him as the Forest Pack Alpha. Their pack was north of ours and around two hours away. He must have taken over his father’s pack because this was the first time I had seen him. The only reason I recognised him was because he looks a lot like his father, plus the woodsy scent that all the forest Pack had. Only his was sweeter, mouth-wateringly so. He smelt so good I wanted to take a bite out of him to see if he tasted as good as he smelt.
I mind link my brother.
“The Forest Pack Alpha is here”
“Tell Alpha Jed to come in” He replies.
“It’s not Jed, I think it’s his son” I tell him.
“I will be right there,” He replies. About to turn around when the wind shifts, and I hear a growl behind me. Ignoring the new Alpha, I continue up the stairs, about to head inside when I hear the one word I have dreaded all my life.
“Mate” He growls, making me spin around to find he was directly behind me, his hand gripping my arm as he tugs me against him.
“Dad” I scream petrified as I struggle to get out of his grip. My father and Ryker both raced out before freezing, making me look up at the man who had hold of me.
“Alpha Tate let go of my daughter now” My father growls, stepping toward him, my brother included as they see the frightened look on my face. My uncle rushes out the door before stopping beside my brother.
"Tate let her go, geez what’s gotten into you?” Damien asks him. Alpha Tate doesn’t let go. Instead yanks me closer to him and I see my sister run out with a panicked look on her face.
“Mine” He growls behind me, making everyone look at each other, none hiding their shock at his words. My brother seems to regain himself faster before turning to the Alpha.
“Let her go she is only sixteen you're scaring my sister” He growls stepping forward before ripping me away from the Alpha and I run to my sister before turning around to face the man that claims I belong to him. He was very handsome with his dark hair and hypnotic emerald green eyes. His penetrating gaze made me step back and away from him further. His eyes did not leave me. I felt nothing towards him, so how could he claim I was his mate. Arial tugs me toward the pack house door when he growls loudly, making me look back. My father, Damien, and my brother blocking him from me.
Yet I find myself frozen on the spot, not able to take another step when my mother finally walks out.
“You claim my daughter is yours?” She asks, raising an eyebrow. He straightens up before looking at her. No one can go against my mother. And if they did, it was their funeral. By the look the Alpha gave her, he knew this as he nodded to her.
“Luna Queen” He nods in respect.
“Well, come inside so we can finish this meeting quickly and we can talk, but I can assure you Alpha my daughter will not be going anywhere with you unless she agrees, understood?” She demands. He growls but nods his head before his eyes go back to me.
“No disrespect Luna but I will not be leaving without my mate” He says, his eyes not leaving mine. My mother looks at me sadly and I feel Arial’s grip on my arm tighten.
“I don’t want to go with him mumma” I tell her through the mind-link.
“Go inside, your father and I will handle this” She tells me, and I let out the breath I was holding before racing inside with my sister.
