McKenna's POV"Shift," I said to the three wolves that stood before me.It was funny that I recognized my son even when his coat was covered in another's blood."Mama?" Olly asked shifting back into human form. "Son, please cover yourself from your mama," I laughed knowing he was embarrassed. "Stop looking at my son. He is but a pup," I snapped at Katie who had wondering eyes. "Seriously?" She asked. "Yeah, he's nearly seventeen but he is still only a boy," I said not realizing Lincoln had engulfed the son we share in his arms.I moved back in an awkward manner turning my attention to Tilly and Marlo who had already engulfed me in their arms."Oh, I've missed you all so much," I cried. "We missed you!" they replied in unison. "I sort of need to breathe," I croaked feeling their tightness surround me. "Sorry," they replied again in unison.I looked upon my ex-lover and my grown up kid and couldn't help but wonder how my mate, Jubilee would feel. I missed him dearly and my youngest pup,

"I do not like it when you leave my side long," Lex joked. "You could always find another as you have for the past couple of months," I replied uncaring. "Could you at least pretend to not hate me just for tonight?" He turned and asked. "Of course," I replied trying to plaster on my fakest smile until his future mistress, Tasia strutted toward us. I slithered from his hold again and willingly gave them their quality time. Lex growled in apprehension but perked up the moment he realized why I moved. Besides, my mind was elsewhere focused on my family. "You're welcome," I said to him before strolling toward the table of horderves. "I think you should really try harder with him," Essex said appearing next to me. "I have no desire to, but I understand my duty as his future Luna," I said turning to walk away from him. It had been like this for the last couple months I was forced to take shelter in their kingdom. I would be seventeen soon and mated to Lex of Tirado. He disgusted me with h

Ruby's POV"When are we to rid ourselves of that bitch?" I asked my mate. "Soon, my love. Once Lawrence wears the crown, we will be rid of her," Vincent replied kissing my lips.He wanted me to meet him in his study after I spoke to Romeo and Vidalia said on our decision to stop looking for our pup after all this time."Mother, will you please tell Romeo he's a court idiot?" Vidalia scoffed. "Could the Goddess have given me a better sister? I would like to trade her to the locals for a be-headed chicken. That would be acceptable maybe even overpriced," Romeo said insulting Vidalia. "I need you two to throw that subject away!" I shouted upset given the reason I brought them here in the first place.I gathered my temper to refrain from strangling my present children while I mourned for the one that was not. After I explained our decision to them both seemed to have come to terms with everything."Why would Auntie Elena do this?" Vidalia asked. "I don't know," I sighed on the brink of t

McKenna's POVI cannot believe that I may see my mate after so long. It was almost as if none of this was real. It's been nearly a year I had assumed. Thanks to Violet, we know this is a blind spot for the Kingdom of Koda."Are you nervous? Lincoln asked disturbing my revelation. "Is it that obvious, my lord?" I asked. "A little," he chuckled. "How do I look?" I asked twirling around in a dress I lifted from our latest excursions with the rich. "Perfect," he mumbled. "I feel like something is missing. I just want our reunion to be perfect," I nervously said fumbling with my with my hair. "I think I found it," Lincoln replied placing small flowers around the crown of my head the moment my mate came into view.My heart swelled with joy just as my eyes filled with tears. I rushed over to him without another thought calling out for him."Jubilee!" I cried out. "Mate," he replied biting his bottom lip in happiness but frustration. "Carol?" Gamma Felius asked not believing his eyes. "FELIUS

Octavia's POV "Look who's here to greet us," Jamela scoffed. "She's so tiring," I replied rolling my eyes. "I could totally drop something in her drink to keep her in the outhouse," Jamela offered. "Please," I playfully joked. Our cart pulled in the front of the pack dwelling. I acted as if I didn't see Taysia. Jamela grabbed our satchels before leaving my side. "Nice of you to return," Taysia said sashaying down the front entrance of the pack dwelling. "You're still here?" I asked holding back my laughter. "You won't be for long," she scoffed. "What's your deal? Is it Lex you desire? Do you want to take my place as his betrothed?" I asked. "It is Lex who wishes to rid himself of you. If you weren't so damned disobedient maybe we could have made this work," she threatened. "Taysia, if you come one step closer to me I will use excessive force with the one thing that annoys me the most, your face," I growled. She looked to have taken my warning serious, but it didn't stop her from t
