The two covers above were made..by honeyboo37 ! Beautiful!

Sorry im late. I had food poisoning! Its been awful. Non stop sickness ugh. Here ya go!

Nova

The result of the war had been tragic but it seemed that this is what the moon had wanted. To take away the wolves that couldn't repent from the things they have done. Sometimes wolves are born with or raised with mental issues that go with them into adulthood, ive learned. They do cruel things in their lives. The moon watches.. she watches everything. She sees all. She waits.. and wolves reap what they sow.

But why Conrad was taken, I'll never really understand. Yes he had a choice when he was younger.. but he was a good wolf.

From what I've learned, the moon doesnt react kindly to those who have wronged their mates. It makes my wonder if before our time, if the moon goddess was wronged by her mate the way she makes sure the wolves who have wronged, pay for their crimes of the heart.

Light knocking on my room door brought me out of my thoughts. I smiled, smelling the scent of my two friends.

"Come in." My voice was hoarse still.

Eden pushed the door open revealing she and Grace. My brows rose in surprise at seeing her in her red lipstick again and high heeled boots. "Hey guys." I offered a smile, trying to sit up but the pain that radiated from the wound in my chest had me wincing. It was hard to breathe at times but my body was healing. That was good.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" Eden came to sit on the side of my bed while Grace shut the door and took a seat on the chair beside the hospital bed.. her eyes puffy.

"Im healing. How are you two doing?" I examined the both of them, Grace seemed torn while Eden seemed to be healing.

"We are hanging in there.." Edens voice became soft, her eyes drifting to Grace.

"Grace?" I asked, leaning up to look at her.

She sniffled, her eyes becoming watery. "There's a wolf in the cellars.. claiming he killed dad. That he is the rightful Alpha now. I'm not recognized but im still apart of the pack.. what if this murderer takes over my dads pack? I cant let that happen!" She exclaimed, hands shaking.

My lips parted as i looked between the two of them. "Eden?"

She nodded, "i had a vision before. We were by the packhouse with Maxim, Nic and Zaryn. Oh he told me he will be here soon with the letters. Anyway.. Beta Gerald came out telling us about the wolf.. so the guys went to ivestigate but not before the moon sent me a vision about contacting the blue moon's pack lawyer. Fortunately hes here at Cresent moon. But I only know what she told me. The lawyers are the ones who can help. I dont think this wolf will take title if the moon has showed me this.." she chewed her bottom lip, anxiously looking over at Grace.

Grace's wolfs eyes suddenly flashed, a newfound sense of vigor inside her, radiating out for us to see. Those eyes met ours. "I wont let my fathers murderer take what shouldn't belong to him. I wont." A low growl followed.

I believed her. "Grace its okay. We will get it worked out. I know Zaryn.. he will work to make sure everything has a just outcome... lets wait to here what they have to say." I was anxious for his return.. i also wanted to get those letters out. I was on edge over it.

Eden leaned in a bit, smelling me as she closed her eyes. "You smell of the moon." Her voice was soft, in a daze.. her wolfs eyes peering out at me, saying hello. "Zaryn told me what happened.. with your dream.. how you touched the moon.. you smell like her." She looked me over in awe.

I sighed. "Yes. The moon has dubbed me her warrior.. i have tasks to uphold now."

Grace peered at me with wide eyes, Eden shifting as she stared intently. "Do you know what an honor that is, Nova? Thats even bigger than being an oracle. For the moon to contact you directly? To give you a duty?" Her bright green eyes fell to my to my stomach and she placed her hand on top. "These pups will be strong." A grin formed on her red lips. "Zaryn told us everything. Twins are special as it is.. but these twins.. these are even more special.." she moved her hand away and i was at a loss of what to say.

"You really touched the moon goddess?" Grace inquired.

Nodding, i recalled the dream and told them about it from my memories. How everything had happened. Every single thing from the moment Deacon interpreted for her, to seeing his mate, to touching the goddess herself and falling back into my body with the knowlege of what im to do now.

"Something bigger will come one day? That's a little scary, Nova. Because this was pretty big." Grace's eyes were wide..

Eden nodded, her blonde hair being tossed over her shoulder. "When other packs find out about you.. they will try to take you. You need to be prepared." She nodded, a look of fear in her green orbs.

But i didnt fear. Not the future. I knew the moon could be ruthless but she also was going to protect me. I had no doubt about that. I would be protected and so would my family.

Wanting to change the subject, i quickly diverted their attention as the pain increased in my chest and my breathing became difficult. "I want to see my dad" i grunted, pushing the button to the medicine pump i was currently still hooked up to.

"Your mom is with him now. He just woke up they said." Grace smiled softly. "Has your mom came to see you?"

Nodding, "yeah she came right before you two did. She's been a mess. Losing a mate is something hard to come back from. I understand why she spent so much time with him, waiting for him to recover. She knew i had Zaryn.. " i explained.

"Guys?" I held each of their hands.. looking between them both. "We need to talk about Conrad. We need to. We cant keep everything bottled up. He was a friend to me.. a father to you Grace.. and someone special to you, Eden. I need to know how you both are doing. No sugar coating." I whimpered at the feeling my wound was giving me before relaxing back into the bed...the pain ebbing away.

Eden peered down at her lap, a guilty expression on her beautiful face. "Im heart broken.. but. Something Maxim said made sense to me.. " her eyes rose to Grace then to me. "He said Conrad would have wanted to mark me.. but it doesnt take away from the fact i loved him.. but Grace.. he was your dad and i feel guilty for even-"

"Stop." Grace held up her hand, an understanding in her eyes. "I know what you're going to say eden. I see the way you two are together.. Maxim has liked you since the beginning and im not mad for you seeking comfort in him. You changed when you were with dad. You werent Eden anymore.. you changed for him and yes. Dad would have wanted to mark you eventually. That was how he was. Possessive. You would have given up everything to be with him and he would have tried to turn you into my mom." She was sure as she spoke. I widened my eyes at this.. he wanted things from me that i couldn't give.. all because i looked like Cilla.

"Really?" Eden seemed saddened by this.

Grace just noddded her head. "Dont feel like you have to hide from me what you feel for Maxim. Lets just have the funerals first then try to live with good memories of him, yeah?" She seemed so much wiser..

Eden nodded as she teared up, wiping delicatly at her eyes.

"How are you though, Grace?" I asked, smiling softly at the pair. My two misunderstood friends. No one knew them. Not the real them.

She let out a shaky breath, chocolate eyes becoming moist. "I'm.. recovering? Losing dad has been hard. He was the last person i had.."

"You have Nic .." i trailed off.

She nodded, her eyes closing. "But im afraid he will leave me one day too.. that the moon will take him from me like everyone else."

"Grace." Eden deadpanned her. "Nic isnt like everyone that was taken from you. He isnt bad. He's a good wolf. Just.. give him a chance."

Before any of us could say another word, the door was pushed open revealing Zaryn, Maxim and Nic.. agression coming from all three of them. Instantly Zaryn moved toward me and nuzzled his face into my neck, resting the envelopes on my abdomen, being careful not to hurt my wound.

"You okay?" I croaked.

He nodded . "I am now." Small kisses were placed on my neck which made me giggle.

Nic was picking Grace up off the chair, sitting down first before placing her on his lap, nuzzling her. She growled lowly but he shushed her. "I need this. Just let me."

I tried not to laugh.

Maxim however, stared down at Eden who still sat on the side of the bed, a war waging in his eyes before he relented to his wolf and took her hand, leading her to the love seat on the far wall, making her sit next to him, leaning into him as he put his face in her hair, calming his wolf.

His wolf had already imprinted her scent.. he was becoming attached to her.. just as she was to him.

"What happened?" I asked, just as Zaryn pulled away.. his five o clock shadow and bloodshot eyes obvious yet he still remained the most handsome male.

He sighed, pulling the chair from the wall up so he was sitting on the opposite side of me as Nic and Grace. "We went to see the wolf. The one that claimed to have killed Conrad."

"Which we dont know if he actually did or not." Maxim piped in. "We never saw his death. I only suggested the wolf killed him from behind because he seemed like he type."

"It was Jazz's brother." Zaryn looked me in the eyes and i stared in shock.

"Her brother? I didn't know she had one!" My tone was one of disbelief.

Nic peered at me. "You were too young to remeber. Her brother was sent off to live with an Uncle and Aunt when we were really little. Jazz's mom couldnt afford to take care of them. But he was supposed to be training for a beta fight when he was old enough."

My mind was spinning.. why couldn't everything just be okay?

"So what will happen?" I looked between the three of them..

Maxim sighed, pulling Eden closer to him. "I called Moon Stone's lawyers on the way over. It looks like I am their new Alpha. Indeed. Blue Moon's lawyers have been notified of the wolf who claimed kill over Conrad. They informed me that they are going to check over the records and investigate the situation. Said he had some information but we will know about it tomorrow after the funeral. We need to pay respects to each pack." He nodded.

The room filled with nods and agreememts. I could only imagine how difficult its going to be for Grace and Eden tomorrow.. when they have to disperse Conrads ashes into the air.

Wolves arent buried in the ground. We are burned and our ashes spread.. it goes back into the earth while our spirit goes to the moon. Or to limbo.

I sighed, looking down at the letters. It was now or never.

"How are you." Zaryn grabbed my hand as i raised it to pick up a letter. My eyes drifted to his, concern in those bright blue eyes.

"Im healing quickly.." Smiling up at him, "just a little pain..i should be good to go tomorrow to the funerals. Fully healed by the next day." He nodded, kissing my temple before whispering i love you in my ear.

My wolf purred. She wanted to be somehwere away from everyone with her mate.. her instincts were taking over. Soon i would be hard to handle..

I picked up the letter with Zaryn's name on it, handing it to him as he sat back, frowning at the script.

The next letter i lifted, was adressed to Alpha of Moon Stone. Maxim. He was the rightful Alpha. I lifted my hand in the air and he rubbed his chin, getting up from his spot on the couch before taking it from me, his eyes on mine, nodding in thanks. Returning to his seat, Eden gave him a little space so he could read in privacy.

"Remember these are from the moon goddess.. or wolves she has with her. Not sure which." I reminded them.

Maxim

I sat there with the letter in my hands.. contemplating on what it could possibly say. Looking across the room, i saw Zaryn was already reading his and the room was quiet. Eden had leaned over to give me privacy, which i appreciated..

Now or never.

Holding my breath, i opened the envelope and unfolded the shimmery paper. I began reading the perfectly scripted writing.

Maxim,

Its me.. Melynn. I know it's hard to believe. But the moon has granted this .. allowed this one time for me to tell you all the things i never got to. Things i always wanted you to know.

I loved you the moment i saw you. You knew i was an omega but you spent all your time training me. I loved you for it. Your father however, had different plans for us. One moment i was awake and talking to him. The next i was in Conrads bed.. the deed had been done. Maximis had brought me to him, unconscious. Conrad was forced to do what Maxim wanted. He never knew i was yours until after and he was horrified. That's when i was sold off to Reynold and you were forced to go off to training camp.

You were all i thought of.

I was mated to Reynold, used as a breeder for him. We only ever had one pup. A female, Laurel. She was what i loved. Not Reynold. I wondered all these years why you never came for me.. its only now that i realise you were told i was dead. And im so sorry. I should have found a way to escape and go to you. Id hear stories about you.. how ruthless you had become. It made me wonder if you would even take me back if i were to come to you, pup in hand.

But once laurel passed, i couldn't take life with Reynold anymore. I didnt want to try for more pups. I was just.. miserable.

I loved you so. I aways will. We may not have gotten our chance together.. but i hear theres a beautiful young oracle who has your attention.

Please dont grow to be cruel like your father.. though I don't see that happening. You are too much of a good wolf. I want you to be happy , Maxim. Know i will see you again one day when you meet the moon.. if you have another mate, we will all be friends one day. Jealousy doesn't exist on the moon. Just love and happiness.

That's what i want for you. Love and happiness.

You will be mated and have many pups one day, my love. I promise you that. And i shall be watching over you. Do not feel guilty.. there was nothing you could do. Do not feel guilty for loving another. I wish it for you.

Always remeber me.

And always be happy.

Forever yours,

Melynn.

Ps: look inside the envelope. Its the necklace i gave you on your 18th birthday.

I felt my eyes sting as i folded the letter back up and dumped the contents of the envelope into my hand.. looking down at the stainless steel dog tags that said wolverine engraved in the shiny metal.

Had she had it this entire time?

A gasp came from my left and i looked toward eden who stared at the tags with wide eyes. I mentally cursed. Now she knows the wolf in her vision is me.

Inhaling she mumbled something about getting some air and headed out the door in a rush.. everyones eyes on me.

Zaryn's included.

His eyes reflected mine; Teary and blurred.. bloodshot.

Whatever he had just read, it was on par to the words i read. Looking back down into my lap, the necklace lie there in my palm.. my memories swimming.. a time of simple life coming back to me before the destruction of my father reigned down upon us. Goddess, she was a breeder for that elderly Alpha ? Not even treated as someone special?

May he live in his sins for the rest of his days.

Melynns words.. how jealousy didnt exist.. how she wanted me to be happy. My entire life I had always been angry over whay my father had done to her and to me.. he made me into the ruthless Alpha i am today.. and every day i thought of her.. the guilt I felt.. thinking she was dead.

Getting up, i left the room in a hurry. These wolves didnt need to see me this way. I had an image to uphold.

Once in the hallway, I let my eyes water where no one could see and silently thanked the Moon and Melynn. For giving me this moment. I stuffed the not and the necklace in my pocket, walking aimlessly down the hall that now, instead of stench rot and blood filling the air, it was replaced with healing; family and friends visiting their healing loved ones.

Gabriel ran through my mind as I entered the lobby to see the pack healer, her smudging sticks of sage filling the air with smoke..

Gabriel suffered greatly. I can only hope that one day... on day he finds joy. The Joy the moon promised me that I would have.

I walked to the front door which was left open, the screen door the only thing between me and the outside. Looking around, i instantly spotted Eden on the left near the forrest, her arms hugging her body tight. She was frowning but her eyes werent angry. They were pained. She was thinking about her vision.. how the Moon promised her she would be happily mated. Marked. Something she never wanted, to give up her gift.

Movement in the trees behind her had me hyper aware and then, to my surprise and aggitation, a wolf appeared.. prowling behind her.

One i knew all too well.

Gabriel.

He seemed feral and instantly my wolf jumped into action, forcing my body to move swiftly and i ran out the door, charging toward where Eden stood. She was in his sights as he approached..stopping once he saw me coming..

Eden whipped around to face me, then turned to see Gabriels wolf just before he shifted into skin. Bones crackled and fur sunk into pores. Eden gasped, backing into me and my arm went around her protectively while Gabriel stood before us.. fresh wounds all over him, his naked body covered in blood and dirt.

His wolfs eyes were still at the front as he eyed me then Eden, stepping forward with his hands cautiously in the air.

"Gabriel-"

"Just!" He raised his hand, fidgeting a little as he trie to calm down.."stop." He lowered his hand, eyes meeting Edens..

"Eden i wanted to.. say im sorry..i shouldn't have hurt you before. It wasn't your fault." He voice ragged, tone deep and guttural from staying in wolf form all night.

She nodded, her eyes watering. "Its okay." Her voice was small.. this usually strong female was such a fragile thing now.

I left her side, approaching Gabriel cautiously.."Gabriel.. are you alright? I mean, last night.."

Gabriels hands were fisted at his sides, he narrowed his dark eyes at me. "I didnt kill any humans if thats what you mean. Just large animals.." he trailed off.. looking uncomfortable.

Closing the distance, i grabbed him in a manly hug, ignoring his nakedness. "Im so sorry Gabriel." I whispered as his arms returned the hug, beating me on the back twice as i did the same. Breaking away, i truly looked at him. Hopefully he could find peace. I would help him.

"Go talk to Nova. Shes spoken to the moon.. has some information on why the moon took Penelope. If you want to know. Be careful though and put on some pants.. you're still agressive and Zaryn is still on edge with almost losing Nova. Go to her. Dont lose yourself. " i ordered him and he actually complied with a nod, side stepping me and walking toward the clinic with long strides.

Once he disappeared from my sight, i felt like I wanted to cry for him but when that happens, i just wind up frowning. Usually.

Taking a deep breath, i turned to Eden.. "Are you okay?"

Her bright green eyes scrutinized me, her red lips puckering slightly. "Why did you hide it from me.. you're the wolf in my vision. Why did you not say anything?" She crossed her arms as her long blonde curls blew in the breeze.

Letting out a sigh, i stepped into her, grabbing both of her upper arms with a gentleness, making her look up at me. "Eden. Im going to be straight with you because you deserve that much.. when you told me of your vision.. i didnt tell you it was me because its bad timing. Conrad just died.. it would have been horrible on my part. I know you already feel guilty. I just wanted to be a friend to you. Until you could stop grieving." Her eyes widened. "Its no secret that im drawn to you. My wolf has imprinted on your scent and I think about you. But how awful would I be to go after my dead cousins girlfriend, even if i did see you first.. the letter.. it was from my true mate. Melynn. She said.. she said she hopes i find happiness with you. She knows what the moon has told her.. as she is just a spirit now. For years i thought she was dead only to find out i had been lied to. She was alive this whole time. And only eight months ago did she die. Thats hard for me to process." My frown deepened.

Eden's features softened,"how long were you with her?"

My jaw tensed. "One year. We found each other at seventeen.. i trained her for a year.. unmarked. Unmated.. then she was sold out from under me by my father." I ground out the last, feeling my hands grip her a little too tight, she growled.

Shaking my head, i dropped my hands. "Im sorry" my head hung in shame. This female is making me do things ive never done. Like say sorry. "I was never with her intimately. By the time she was sold.. my father had sent me off to training camp and when i came back. I killed him." My eyes rose to hers. "That's when they called me the rabid wolf. I was the wolverine long before that. Im sorry i didnt tell you."

She shifted, her eyes darting here and there. I could tell she wanted to be alone.

"Listen." My arms pulled her into my body in a firm hug, sighing as i inhaled her scent. "Im going to give you space. Just because the moon showed you something, doesnt mean it gonna happen any time soon. Like i said. I want to be there for you. As a friend. This is your time to mourn. I get that. So im going to give you some space." Releasing her, i saw the unsure look in her eyes as if she didnt want me to go but at the same time she did.

"Ill be staying in the alphas quarters of the pack house since X is back in his family home. If you need anything.. you come to me. Okay?"

Her green vivid orbs glistened and she nodded, her arms still hugging her body. I looked down at her, memorizing her curves before taking a few steps backward. "Ill see you tomorrow."

Without waiting for her reply, i turned and walked away from the clinic, down the dirt road. I knew she would come around but she needed her space. Her wolf however didnt mind.

I needed to meet with the Moon Stone packs lawyers anyway. They were going on without an Alpha.. things were sure to get chaotic there soon. I needed to have something set in motion.

I felt in my heart that what i was going to do with this pack would be the right thing to do.

Zaryn aka Alpha X

"Why did you kick everyone out?" Nova asked, looking amused.

I chuckled as i climbed on top of the bed beside her, her small body allowing the space for me on my side though i half way hung off the bed. "Because." I placed my hand on her abdomen. "With all this sadness going on.. i need some alone time with my mate and my twin pups." My lips pulled up at the corners.

She scoffed, rolling her eyes. "You didn't have to kick Gabriel out. Hes been through a lot Zaryn." Her eyes softened as she gazed at me. Uh oh. I knew where this was going.. "please talk to him? He lost someone very special to him and as much as you resented her, shes still your mom. I know you loved her and i dont blame you for it. Not a bit. Just please talk to him?" She pled with those grassy green eyes like summer.

I rolled my eyes at the way she is always able to get to me. "Yeah yeah okay. I will. I just couldn't handle him in the room after you told him what the moon said. He was all.. agressive"

A moment passed between us as she smiled triumphantly, her dimples appearing and her beautiful features stared back at me.."You know the hardest thing ive had to deal with is thinking that i lost you? You know how hard that was for me? Seeing that arrow come out of your chest.. all the blood.. your lips turning blue.." my brows furrowed, seeing the images so vivid in my mind.

"Hey." Her warm hand pressed into my cheek.. big green eyes searching mine. "Im here. Im not going anywhere." She shook her head, smiling "you, my Alpha, are stuck with me. For all eternity."

That smile did something to me.. my wolf wanting to come out and have his time with her too. A loud purr came from my chest, voicing his needs and she laughed lightly.

"So.. do i get my kiss now?" I rose a brow, leaning into her.

She leaned away, "i haven't brushed my teeth."

"So? We're wolves. When has hygiene mattered?" I smirked, leaning in further to kiss her neck, my lips caressing the mark on her skin softly as she shivered, giving into me. My smirk broadened against her skin and my tongue slipped out, tasting the sweet honeysuckle of her skin.. the puncture scars of my teeth evident against the smoothness of her flesh.

She sighed, her body leaning towards me, giving me her neck in complete submission. My wolf loved this. A low growl vibrated against her skin and she responded with a purr.. moaning softly as i nipped along her neck, up the slender column before placing kisses up her jaw.

Moving my hand from her abdomen, i gripped the back of her hair in my fist, moving her head down, pressing my lips on to hers tenderly. The feeling of her pink warm lips flush against mine had sparks shooting through my body.. i could feel what i did to her on top of what she did to me.

Chaotic bliss.

Nibbling her bottom lip, her kisses were sweet.. i swiped my tongue across her lip slowly and she parted them, allowing me access with a sigh. Instantly my tongue delved into her mouth, tangling with her own.. a rush of adrenaline and lust burst through me and my hand gripped harder in her hair but my kiss remained tender and gentle.

Every moan, every gasp, every whimper was swallowed by me jist as every groan and moan was swallowed by her. The way she kissed me back, i felt every ounce of love from her.

In just a single kiss.

Finally breaking apart, my hand cupped her jaw as i pressed my forehead to hers. Those swollen, now red, lips enticed me, glistening. I closed my eyes, pressing one last kiss to them. Moving away, i could see the contrast of bright green and golden colors swirl together to produce that grass green.

"I love you " i smiled at her gently. She returned it, her dimples showing.

"I love you too." My thumb stroked her cheek as a breath of laughter left my nose, shaking my head.

How did i get so lucky?

I grew up with this female.. always being close to her. Our families did everything together and if someone told me back then that she of all females would be my mate, i would have been ecstatic.

I remember the first moment i thought of her as attractive. I had felt like such a pervert. She was 8 and i was 12. The first time i ever thought of her as i was touchinf myself, she was 14 and i was 18. I had always felt drawn to her even as pups.. but i thought myself a pervert for thinking of her that way when she was only 14. I was an adult by then. She wasn't. I saw it as wrong.

But oh when she started trying makeup and curling her hair.. how she always caught my eye and smiled shyly even though i was close to her family and best friends with her brother.. thats when she was fourteen and i first thought about her.. intimately..

"What are you thinking about?" She mused, her dimples showing even more with the grin she displayed.

Smiling wryly, "how I used you for my spank bank when i was eighteen."

Her eyes went wide as she gasped, "Zaryn! I was fourteen then!"

Pursing my lips, "i know. I felt like a pervert but at least now i know why i was always attracted to you." I gave her a lopsided grin.

Her brow rose, "so thats the reason you're still poking me in the hip even after we stopped kissing." Her brows wiggled suggestively and i smirked, pressing into her hip more purposely.

"Zarrryyyn." Her voice was whiney.

Without warning, her lips were on mine again but it was just a sweet lingering kiss. One i would beg for on a daily basis. "I love you you pervert" she laughed lightly before hissing and wincing.

That's when i freaked. "Nova! Are you okay?" Laying her back gently, she nodded with a frown, fumbling for the red button on her medicine pump.

"Here. I got it. Dont move." I grabbed the cord, clicking the button at the end, my heart fluttering wildly. "I forget you're hurt when we get like that." Instantly and thankfully my body responded the same why my mind did and all excitement dissipated.

She looked up at me with those big green eyes and flush lips. "Zaryn im fine. Ill be healed after tomorrow. Im healing great its just a little tender."

And here she was comforting me.

We lay like that, side by side for the longest. Sitting in comfortable silence.. id get a glimpse at her thoughts and she would get one at mine every now and then. With my hand still on her stomach, i had an idea.

Pulling the blankets down past her hips, i rose her gown revealing neon pink underwear. She gasped.

"Perv what are you doing!?"

I frowned at her. "Shush. Im not a perv. You're mine. Let me continue." I narrowed my eyes playfully and she gave in, just smiling as she saw where this was going.

Carefully, with her stomach exposed, i placed my warm hand over her small, barely even noticeable bump. Not even a bump. She was still flat but i like to pretend there is something there. Afterall, with twins- she will be showing quite early. I could already feel the hardening taking place under her skin.

Sliding down the bed, i rested my cheek on her skin right above where my pups were growing. My wolf could smell them, letting a low rumble come out of my chest, inhaling deeply.

Nova gasped , "zaryn dont do that down there! I havent had a shower!"

Rolling my eyes up to her, "Honey. You smell fine. Its not like my face is in your pu-"

"Stop now. Dont finish that sentence! Just... dont sniff me so hard." She grumbled.

She complains about the most mundane things. As if her scent would ever bother me, shower or no shower. She just smelled more musky and with how excited she was just moments before, i actually enjoyed the scent..

Something that females dont realise about males. We love our females dirty.. we enjoy that scent.. more hormones leech from their skin.

Containing my smirk, i continued getting to know my pups inside their mothers womb, smelling her skin. The smell was faint, as they were just being created but it was there. The scent of a pup comes along as they begin to form.

Pressing a kiss to her belly with my weight on my forearms, i whispered to her skin. "I love you two. And your mommy very much my little alpha pups." I smirked against her skin, the wolf sending rumbles out that vibrated against her.

Her flesh rippled with goosebumps and i could feel her eyes on me as her hand rested in my hair, rubbing my head.

Suddenly the door flung open, haunting out intimate moment and i looked over to see her mom standing there with her eyes wide and a hand over her mouth.

"Oh! So sorry!!! I didnt realise.. oh . Please. Carry on!" She shut the door quickly as i heard her dad grumbling behind her, the sound muffled by the door.

Nova was pulling me up with a wide eyed expression, her cheeks flushed.

"Mom! Come in its fine!" She yelled out, wincing slightly in pain.

Grumbling, i made my way back up to lie beside her just as the door pushed back open. Knew i should've locked it..

The position we were in.. i knew clearly what her mom thought we were up to..

Once she came inside, Nova frantically explained the situation at which Dahlia smiled at me with that lovey 'awe' expression.

Dahlia has always been more human than wolf... most the pack has. Unless provoked. That time was coming to an end though. It was time we all embraced our wolf sides.. let them take control more often. As an Alpha, i was seeing and feeling this more..

As was Nova.

Nic.. he was learning..

Soon we will all be a fully functioning wolf pack.

I smiled at my Luna as she talked with our mom about the pups.. we would need two of everything..

And I'd be able to give twice as much love.

Nova by far is the best thing to ever happen to me.. i dont think i could ever survive without her.

Shes the air i breathe.. the only taste i want to taste... she's everything to me.

Everything.

Tra la la!

No cliff hangers this time!

Next chap is the funeral. :(

We see more nova and z sweet moments now with side glances of maxim ans eden.. a little less of grace and nic since they arent really important but we do see each of them change in the epilogues and the pack change as well!!!

Hope you enjoyed! My last few chaps havent been too great bc ive been out of it with writers block but im feeling creative tonigjt so im gonna go back and juice it up.

Speaking of juice.. we have a sèęxx scene coming up soon! Two of them from two diff pairs!

Guesssss who!?
