Ch. 651..660

Chapter 0651

He is no longer sweet and gentle, but hungry...for me. One hand firmly grabbing my waist, pulling me into him. The other has my pony tail in a strangle hold while he devours my mouth. Here's my fierce protector. He yanks my neck to the side and works his way down my throat and to my chest. I'm sure our panting can be heard for miles, neither of us care though. The warm sun beating down and the sound of the ocean set the tone for this very hot interaction.

He takes one n*pple into his mouth and I moan from the sensation. He gives just as much attention to the other while he rocks my hips, grinding our still clothed lower halves into each other. "Oliver, I need more, please." I pant out. He shredded my shorts.

"F*ck, baby. Have you been naked under these all day?" He digs his fingers into the flesh of my thighs and I giggle. "How often do you do that?"

"Whenever we are home." I look at him through my eyelashes biting my lower lip.

He growls and pulls my mouth back down to his and rubbing my slick center against his shorts. The sensation only made me more wet for him. His hands can't stop moving over every inch of my skin. It doesn' take long for me to get frustrated with his lack of nakedness and I lift up enough to release him from his shorts. I can't pull them off all the way since his feet are planted and keeping us from toppling off the hammock into the sand, but it's enough for me.

I stroke him while he quickly removes his shirt and tosses it aside. "That is a problem." He says into my mouth.

"How so?"

"How the f*ck are we supposed to get any work done when we know your hot little ass is there for the taking?" Just to emphasize his thoughts he squeezes my hips hard and drives me along his length. "It's only one less layer. It's not like I'm walking around naked."

"But if I know all I have to do is slide your shorts over," He rubs my cl*t with his thumb, "Or slide your leggings down a few inches to find heaven, I'm not going to be able to keep my hands to myself."

"Maybe that's the point." I smile at him, letting out a moan as he pinches my very swollen nub. "Please, Oliver, more."

He lifts me effortlessly seating me

on him to the hilt while taking a n*pple back into his mouth. I start rocking on him letting the friction send delicious waves of pleasure through me. It doesn't take long to get close, it never does with any of them. I feel like exploding the minute they touch me.

He picks up our pace as I start to tighten around him. He's starting to grunt, getting close himself. He has full control now slamming me down on his thick d*ck, a sweet pain in my pelvis as it connects with his. Then the little sparks of my org*sm starts to fire. "Yes, baby, like that. Yes,

ve

harder, please, I need more. Ah, ah, ah, YEEEESSSSS!" I'm riding him so hard I can't keep a grip on his shoulders.

UT

"Keep, f*cking her." A gravely hoarse voice sounds from behind me. Then a hand glides down my back straight towards my ass, reaching my wet heat and dragging it up to my back entrance. "That's our good girl. Watching you ride Oliver from the window has me ready to blow. Do you want more?" Cam growls at the shell of my ear, his fingers still circling my tight little hole. Without waiting for a response he works a finger in and I can feel both of them move in me.

Involuntarily my hand reaches back and I find his exposed erection ready for me. "Were you jerking off to us?" I ask breathlessly.

 

Chapter 0652

"I have a need to stroke myself when I watch you do anything. Here I don't try to hide it." I squeeze him harder and he glides his finger in further and faster. "That's it, Love. Relax for me. Make Oliver come so hard he blacks out."

Oliver heard the command and thrust a couple more times before exploding inside me. He will leave a handprint on my hip and my boob, but the pain only sends me over the edge with him.

"OH F*CK, I'm coming again!!" Cam keeps me balanced while Oliver helps us both ride out the climax.

As I come down I realize I only have two of my mates with me. "Where's Dakota?" Oliver must have felt my guilt wash over me at not including all of them in our little tryst.

Oliver strokes my cheek. "Hey, it's okay. We talked about this, remember, he's okay. You won't be able to be with all three of us all the time..."

"As much as we would love that, we also have a job to do. Besides, I think he has something special planned anyway. Let's get you cleaned up." Cam lifts me off Oliver and they both take me inside to shower.

Whatever they have to show me must be really important, because they were on their best behavior while we cleaned up to go meet Dakota. They gave me no other hints to what they are up to. We drove in the truck, me front and center. I finally started to recognize where we are going and I can't hide my excitement. The streets look so nice, everything is coming along with the rebuild and it is so much better that could have imagined. We make our way further in and I can imagine what it's going to look like when the grass and trees grow back in.

We make a familiar left turn and butterflies explode in my stomach. There's no way, absolutely no way it's ready. I can feel my pulse pick up, I 'm not sure if I'm more excited or afraid of what I am going to see when we make the next turn.

"Breathe, Bitty." Oliver grabs my right hand and laces our fingers. Cam mirrors the movement on my left.

We make a right turn and I stop breathing. What on earth have they been up to? "There's no way." I whisper.

"It's nowhere near done, Love. But these are the bones of our new home." Cam squeezes my hand.

I have no words. I can see the image

these five boys had as children. This massive structure is forming. He's right, it's just the bones, the framework, but I can see it, our home. It is a 'U' shape, just like our street was always set, but everything is interconnected. The central part of the building has the Quter walls up ready for whatever facade they chose so I can't see through to the back. The right side seems to be the next phase with partial outer walls, wiring and duct work. To the left, just the concrete base is set. It looks to be about four stories if the central part is anything to go by.

"Oh, wow!" I'm still whispering, but I can't make my voice do anything else.

ท

The street has been converted into a circle drive and Cam takes us right to the wide double front doors. Once he's parked, Oliver steps out and helps me down. As soon as I turn around Dakota is stepping through one of the main doors and jogging towards me.

"Not gonna lie, that was hot." He rumbles in my ear and I pull back to look at him confused. "Apparently, distance doesn't not stop us from feeling your absolutely sweet org*asms. And these guys have very active internal dialogue according to my wolf. Which he decided I needed a play by play. I had to step away from everyone until you all finished, so I could finish and act normal." We were all laughing with him now. I'm glad he didn't feel left out. It's one thing to give them one on one time, but taking two and not three somehow made me anxious once I realized he was missing. "Come with me Sweetness."

 

Chapter 0653

He laced our fingers together and walked me to the double doors before opening to a massive open concept room. "What is this?"

"We will show you the plans later, we actually need your input on a couple things. What I have to show you is over here." Dakota keeps walking me through to the back. There isn't anything here to indicate what they want to use this space for, so I couldn't even guess, but the windows set in the back wall almost make me cry. They made sure to recapture the entrance to the patio. It was always my favorite thing about the kitchen in the packhouse. But, we don't stop here like I assumed. He keeps pulling me along, his grin getting wider as we go.

"What are you up to?"

"Me? Why would I be up to anything?" He just winks and takes a few more large steps. I'm starting to have to jog to keep up, he's so excited to show me whatever it is. "Okay, Skylar, close your eyes." Oh, damn. He is serious. I think he's used my given name less than a handful of times in my whole life. I don't even hesitate to shut them.

He steps behind me, placing a hand on each shoulder and starts to guide me forward. I hear a metal click, a whoosh, and then I'm hit with warm humid air. "There's no way!" I whisper again. It cannot be possible. Our entire home was completely flattened in the attack. He moves me forward a few more steps. I can hear water trickling not far from me and smell the damp earth freshly tilled and planted. I can smell roses and lavender, jasmine and eucalyptus. It is heavenly. We stop and he shifts me a few times and I have to laugh at him trying to get the angle right.

"Dakota! Can I open my eyes yet?" I whine at him, but with a smile.

He kisses me gently, laughing at his ability to get to me. Once he returns to my back and places both hands Con my shoulders, he whispers, "Take a look."

I open my eyes slowly and I am lost for words for the second time today. It is gorgeous. It's our garden, but so much more. The pool is still in the center with the zero depth walk in, but instead of being rectangular it is a circle in the center of the room. To one corner is a massive lounge area that was definitely made for all four of us to fit comfortably. In another corner a vining plant looks like it is being trained to climb the wall over a black iron dining table with four chairs. To my left the soft

riverstones line the floor and walls where a rain shower head is concealed in the ceiling. To my right raised planting beds house many different plants that I would take a guess pertain to magic somehow. There is a stone path that surrounds the pool and leads to all the corner pockets of the space and plants are everywhere. It is amazing. I turn to Dakota and bury my head in his shoulder and let my happy tears fall.

They did this for me.

"Welcome home, Sky." He whispers. I look up to thank them all, but it's just the two of us.

I pull back confused. "Where..."

"It's my turn. told you we would all have plenty of time in here together." He leans forward, asking for permission and I don't hesitate. This is so amazing. I can't wait to share it with them all, but I can give Kota his time.

 

Chapter 0654

Epilogue 1 - Sky's 18th Birthday

"Why are you not ready yet?" Sierra yells at me from the door of my bedroom.

"What are you talking about? I have been ready. What else is there to do?" I look down at myself. I have the dress she chose, the hair style and make-up we have practiced at least three times this week. I had to beg Sam to keep her busy to give me some peace.

He took it like a man and told her he wanted to redecorate the boys' rooms. Their second son is due in just a few months and Sam has actually been holding her off from redecorating since the baby stuff shouldn't really change in his opinion. I agree with him, but I will never say that out loud to my best friend. She has been extra moody with this pregnancy.

"Ugh! I have to make sure everything is perfect! I can't have my best friend look ridiculous when she is becoming an Alpha Luna."

The title she has given me is so stupid, but another thing I can't say because she will either try to fight me or burst into tears and she's right, today is not the day for things to go wrong.

"Hey, breathe. It will be perfect. You have done such a wonderful job on everything. Now take a deep breath and stop stressing my nephew out." I reach out to rub her baby bump. She is such a natural mother. She has even taken on the kids who lost their parents in the war with Adrielle and Vincent. The packhouse is a revolving door of children and we all love every second of the craziness.

She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. "I know, I know. It's just really important, and everyone is here and it's your birthday and we haven't done anything yet and I know that we always do something special for birthdays, but the packhouse is jammed full of people so we are missing out on that too." I jump up from my chair and put my hands on her shoulders making her take my seat.

"Stop! Right now. Don't make me

Alpha command you. It will be perfect. Everything you do is always amazing. And we are doing

something for my birthday, it's just a little different than normal. Everyone agreed that this was the best day for everything to happen. I turn

όνε

eighteen, there's a full moon tonight,

we have the Luna ceremony It's all

supposed to happen tonight and everyone will stick around for a couple days and then we will have the house to ourselves and we can sit by the pool and grill burgers to your little pregnant heart's content."

"SILAS! NO! YOUR MOTHER IS GOING TO KILL YOU AND THEN ME AND NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT ORDER!" We hear the yell from outside and both of us rush to the balcony.

I love this view. The way the guys designed the packhouse is perfect. The 'U' shaped design has the main common areas in the middle and the living space's on either side. We are in the west wing on the top floor and I have a balcony that takes up the whole wall that overlooks the massive pool we have in the back. The rest of our Alpha Suite has windows that overlook the central courtyard or the forest that surrounds the packhouse and my greenhouse.

Just as we get to the edge of the balcony I see Silas take a running jump from one side of the massive waterfall that circulates the pool water, to the other side. The boy is only six months old and already a handful He has scaled everything that is possible to climb and he learned to walk and run on the same day. It takes all of us just to keep track of him. Sam is running after him screaming about keeping his clothes clean and really wanting to be alive to see him reach at least five. We are both laughing hysterically. There is no way either of them come out of this chase

clean.

"I told Sam those were his clothes for the ceremony and he had to stay clean or else he was sleeping with the pups in the dorms for the foreseeable future." She giggles holding her tummy.

"Even I know you wouldn't dress Silas until about thirty seconds before he has to run down the aisle, how does Sam not know that?"

"Men are stupid." She shrugs. "I think Jena is having just as much trouble with Mack, but he knows how important today is for you. That boy's sense of duty for his beta blood is stronger than yours ever was. I would send him after Silas if their communication skills were as advanced as their physical ones." She laughs again.

"Okay, we really do have to head down. Is there really something I am missing, or were you just being dramatic?" I walk away from her a little and do a spin. I don't bother looking in the mirror, she's better than any piece of glass at making me look my best.

 

 

Chapter 0655

I have this gorgeous white gown that has all the pizazz Sierra thinks it needs, but it is still my simple style. It is a mermaid styled dress with a bunched satin material making up the top of the bodice. The rest of the dress material is a matte white hanging from the satin, hugging all my curves in the right places. The bunched satin continues over my shoulders and crisscrosses between my shoulder blades and wraps back around the front creating this sexy wrap look. It finally finishes in the back, just above my tailbone where the satin attaches and hangs like a pleated train to the floor. Sierra has my hair loosely pulled to the side and over my shoulder. The beach waves are pinned strategically to look effortless, but they will not move at all. Luna Anne sent my silver shoes so I could wear them and tease the guys a bit since Xander got to see me in a dress for the first time before them. They probably won't even notice, but the nod is still funny to me and Xander is sure to bring it up if he notices.

"No, you look perfect. Let's go." She laces her arm with mine and we walk out together. Lil and Jena meet us as the elevator stops on the next floor down.

"Oh yes! They are going to die when they see you!" Jena coos and Lil laughs.

"I bet Dakota tries to get you in the greenhouse for a quickie before the ceremony starts."

"You're on!" Jena laughs. "There's no way Cam is going to let anything stall this ceremony. It has taken too long to happen as it is. And besides him and Oliver would never let Kota have all the fun while she looks like that. I bet you go into heat immediately."

I look down at my feet knowing my face just turned beet red. I don't know why it still embarasses me to talk about my sex life. At this point we are all adults and everyone here, but Lil, is mated and two of my friends are mothers. This is not new territory, but something about my sex life with three mates fascinates everyone and I don't enjoy it when it comes up.

"At least now she looks like the innocent little Luna she's supposed to be and not the well versed bedroom goddess she is." Lil prods, sending my embarrassment through the roof. "I'm actually surprised you can walk most days."

"Oh, stop." I cover my face trying to reel in the heat in my cheeks. "You act like we do nothing but have sex."

"I mean... if my mate looks like you or any of your guys, I probably wouldn't leave our room for a month. So, take the compliment. You are hot, they are hot and so far you have had the adight luxury of being mated, early I might add, with no heat or any of that craziness to deal with. If it was me, they would be tied to the bed, ready to ride."

"You need to get laid, my friend." Jena pats her shoulder.

"That would be great, but my brand didn't conveniently disappear so I could find my mate early like some of us. So, you all will just have to deal a little longer with me living vicariously through you."

"Is it weird to be able to think about sex and mates and all of that? Be completely aware of it, but not be able to act on it." Sierra asks in research mode now.

"Yes and No. I mean, I don't have any urges, but I can appreciate a good looking person when they are in front of me." She looks at me and wiggles her eyebrows.

"I guess the real question is, are you hoping for a male or female mate?" I ask her, liking that the conversation has deviated to her.

"Can't I have both? Why should you

be the only one with multiple mates? It would never be boring!" She

laughs and then stops as the

elevator doors open and she stepet

out to look around. "The coast is clear Looks like everyone is where they are supposed to be. Do you two want to wrangle your gremlins for their adorably crazy entrance?" She looks at Jena and Sierra who just roll their eyes and laugh, but don't argue as they walk off.

Lil is in Gamma mode now. She is my right hand and I couldn't ask for anyone better. We have just a few minutes of silence and then she turns to look at me. "It's time boss." She winks and I roll my eyes.

 

 

Chapter 0656

Epilogue 2 - Alpha Luna Ceremony

The ceremony was beautiful. I don't think there was a dry eye in the area. Sierra and Ava did a beautiful job with the clearing behind the packhouse. It's now a retreat for all of us with benches and flowers strategically planted amongst the natural growing vegetation. It's a nod to the small garden that Ava had for me here at the original packhouse and the maze that Uncle Reggie would let me get lost in at the Royal packhouse. We love it, the kids love it and anyone in the pack can come here for a bit of peace.

As we all thought, my nephews stole the show and I am glad to not be the center of attention for a little while. Their cute and wiley ways kept most of the attention off of me as I took my place with my mates as the new leaders of the pack. Much to my dramatic friends' dismay nothing exceptional happened at the Luna ceremony. I don't know what they were expecting, but lightning did not strike, the Moon Goddess did not visit us, no otherworldly tornados to lock us in time, nothing. Actually, I shouldn't say nothing, all of our pack members got to welcome all four of us as their new leaders and we officially accepted the positions. We said a farewell to Lucas and took the titles of Alphas of the Blue Crescent Pack as a normal Alpha and Luna ceremony would go. It was never in question who the next Alphas would be, but like Ava, Brett, Kyle and my dad pointed out, our members missed a lot of the chaos and they came back to a pack that was destroyed and without the alpha they knew and loved. This ceremony was a way to bring them back and give them a feeling of control over what was going to happen moving forward. A sense of peace. We decided to relight the forever fire. That was a debate that went on for days. So many were afraid of the magic that was used against us, but in the end Elena, Gentry and I won out. Magic is a part of this pack now, whether anyone likes it or not. We will not hide it or shield our members from it. We will educate our members on what it means to have magic among us. For those of us who have been given gifts from both goddesses, we want them to be comfortable in their skin and know they have a place here with any of their gifts.

We have even opened up our pack to Gentry's coven since Adrielle decimated the land they were on as well. They love the ocean and have taken well to pack life.

My brother finds me off to the side just watching everyone as they mingle around the pool and inside the kitchen. This is what we always wanted, full inclusion, while still maintaining some sense of privacy for those of us who live here. I want everyone to feel welcome and wanted.

"What are you thinking about so hard over here, Shorty?"

"Nothing really. Just enjoying the bit of normal that we finally get to have. Is it strange that I still look over my shoulder, expecting something bad coming our way?"

"No. For you I think it is completely normal. Have you ever had a day when you weren't looking over your shoulder?" His brow furrows after he lets the words all out of his mouth.

I just shook my head. "I actually

can't think of a time, no. Is that bad?"

I look at him really wanting an answer. I still sometimes think that

am too broken to be in the position that I I am a warrior and I just

I am

fought the biggest war of my life. What am I supposed to do now that it's over? Oliver was right my 'switch' has been turned on to fight mode for so long, I don't even know what it means to be 'off.'

"No, it's not bad, and you are meant to be here. You were always meant to come home. I am so sorry that what took you away was tortures happening right under our noses will never stop being sorry for that. But I can't be sorry for the person you are, the Alpha Luna that changed our world." He nudges me with his shoulder using that stupid title of Sierra's. I just rolled my eyes. "So, when are you going to tell them?"

I look at him sharply. "What are you talking about?"

"Apparently there are things you can hide from your mates and friends that your brother can see straight through. You are doing a great job suppressing the aura and scent, but I don't think that will last much longer, especially now that the whole pack will be hounding you." He smiles widely and winks.

I stay quiet and look back at the group surrounding the patio and pool behind the packhouse.

 

 

Chapter 0657

Uncle Reggie has Milo, Silas and Mack completely enamored with a story about the war his grandfather fought for the throne. He can barely stay in his seat with his wild gestures and exaggerated faces. The fire from the fire pit is adding to his dramatics. To them he isn't the 'Alpha King' or some celebrity. He's just a Grandpa or an Uncle who tells great stories and he is fully in his element. If he is this excited about all the boys that have been born into our ranks I can only imagine what will happen if Mina, Xander and Oscar have a girl. She will be the most spoiled, well trained, full of spice princess they have ever seen.

These boys have no idea what had to happen to make the world that they now know, but we will make sure they know all the stories and struggles that shaped their future. All the kids will know. The pack is still young in its rebirth, but we won't let the past die. Our goal is to make sure that none of our offspring make the same mistakes the generations before them did.

"Are you avoiding the question little sis or are you still in denial?" He laughs at me.

'I am not sure what you are talking about." I wink at him and walk toward my mates who are all looking extra handsome with their different levels of dress down from their suits. They all lost their ties almost immediately and the top buttons on the collars were let loose showing off the little peek-a-boo tattoos crawling across their collarbones. It's one of my favorites looks on all three of them. Just a hint of danger hidden under controlled class.

Dakota offers me a glass of champagne, but I shake my head. "I have one more announcement to make and then I am tired and I think I pam going to turn in early."

"Anything you want baby, this is your day." Oliver, pulls me back into his chest, wrapping a protective arm around me. He is always quick to give me my way, especially with small things like bed time. He saves his fights for the bigger things.

I should have told the girls so we could take bets on reactions, but I think this will be more fun.

I clear my throat, getting the

attention of the people around us, the rest will follow suit soon enough. "I want to thank all of you for joining us today. The last year has been a trying one for all of us and we are on a path to strengthen relationships with old friends." I wink at Uncle Reggie and Xander, which earns me a growl from Cam and laughs from anyone near enough to hear. "And establish new friendships and connections," I look at Elena and Gentry and nod. "And bring in the next generation to an era of acceptance, hard work and dedication to the positive growth of our pack. Our future Delta and Beta

are proof of that..."

"YES!!! We are going to be THE BEST EVER!!!!" Silas interrupts not missing a beat, followed by a roar of laughter.

Once the noise dies down, I continue. "I hope our future alphas have the same enthusiasm as their cousins. Although I think the boys are going to need it to keep up, they are going to have their hands full with three alpha females."

I finish, smiling, and just let my words sink in as I look around. Who's going to catch on first?

"ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?!?!"

Yep, she's my best friend for a

reason. "THREE? You're having three?" Sierra is barreling towards me as everyone else catches on to the announcement. They all begin to cheer and celebrate all over again My mates haven't moved behind me and Im almost afraid to look. She coffides with me, wrapping her arms around my neck and shouting nonsense into my ear. She pulls back, placing a hand on either side of my face. "How did you not tell me? How did I not know? I mean you've known for a while in order to know you were having three...and girls! Holy sh*t! This is so awesome! Who did you tell first?"

"I had to talk to Elena and Gentry. No one else knew until right now. It's actually really scary for me and for the girls, so I needed to be ready. We have a lot to do." I give her a watery smile. This should be a happy moment, but I can't help but be scared. This is how so many women in my bloodline died. It seems so

archaic with all the medical

advancements we have. But, it's the magic part that science can't always

overcome and I am scared, but

excited all at the same time and I

know I won't do it alone. She kisses

me on the forehead then steps back.

 

Chapter 0658

"We'll talk more about this tomorrow." She turns to run at Sam, I'm sure crying again. This hormone sh*t is no joke.

Before I can even think about her fast retreat, I am scooped up and carried away. Oliver's honey scent doesn't surprise me as I bury my face in his neck to calm my nerves. We obviously need to talk and they aren't going to wait until later and no one will question it after my announcement.

The warmth and humidity of our greenhouse hits me like a warm blanket and I relax immediately. They brought me to my safe space, they know I am afraid to have kids after what happened to my mom. But they want me to spell it out for them. I can feel it. Oliver sits me on the enormous lounge bed we have and they all stand in front of me, waiting.

"I'm going to need you to repeat that little declaration with very clear words, Tiny."

I just smiled at all of them. "I thought I was very clear, Cameron. I. Am. Pregnant. With triplet girls. You guys are in trouble." I let out a giggle as Dakota dropped to his knees in front of me. "Really?" He whispers.

I grab both his cheeks. "Really." I give him a gentle kiss, then he jumps up and spins around.

"I'm going to be a dad! We're going to be dads!" He stops. "I'm going to throw up!" He goes pale and sits next to me then lays in my lap. I giggle again then look at my two serious mates.

"Are you both okay with this?" I'm worried they are more like me and think we are too young for all of this.

"Baby."

"Love." They kneel and say together. Sometimes I think Oliver is more Cam's twin than Kota. "We are worried about you. Are you okay with this? We didn't even talk about it or plan for it. I don't even really know how it happened. You haven't had your heat yet." Cam doesn't usually ramble. It's how I know he's nervous.

"Well, our best guess is that I am

part witch and witches don't have a heat, so I may never have one and can get pregnant at any time. It's the only logical explanation. We're not even sure if the triplets are one from each of you or any other

no

combination. Obviously multiples are a high probability, but..."

"Why does that sound like a challenge?" Kota mumbles from my lap.

We all laugh, but I slap his shoulder. "It's not and it's not a theory to test either." I look at Oliver.

"What?! I didn't say anything." He strokes my cheek.

"You were thinking it." I narrowed my eyes at him daring him to deny it.

"Well, considering your most scary and potentially life threatening pregnancy is happening now, I don't see why we couldn't just see how quickly you're able to get pregnant after you have the girls. You know, once you're healed and we know you're safe. The practice would be fun."

"Ugh, you guys are impossible."

"You know it's three girls?" I nod and Cam puffs out his cheeks and blows air out slowly like he's composing himself. "You're right, we're screwed. When you said it outside my mind literally jumped to Silas, Mack and Milo and how we all were then and as younger teens. I mean, lam going to string up any guy who even turns to listen to them speak and just stands too close." He scrubs his face with both hands.

Dakota sits up abruptly, looking startled. "We are homeschooling them, no boys, no outsiders, nothing. They can't leave our sight until their mates walk in and fight all of us for their attention. And they better wir or the Goddess better have a plan B."

"Oh stop! Do you think for a second any daughter of mine is going to let you lock her up? Have you seen Silas and Mack? Keep in mind they were born to work with and protect our girls. If they are that crazy, ours are going to be worse."

"And they are all going to look like

you." Oliver whispers, leaning his head into my vacated lap. "You are going to have to handcuff me to keep me from gouging eyes out. don't think I am ready for this. The Goddess must hate us. We must have done something terrible in a past life to deserve this torture.”

I giggle again. "Well, they are coming, we really don't have a choice. The biggest things we have to worry about right now is my tiny body growing three of your big ass offspring and surviving the birth of our first born girl. After that everything is cake."

 

 

Chapter 0659

Epilogue 3

"What do we do? What can we do to make this better for you?" Cam climbs behind me, resting against the wall of pillows behind us and pulling me back between his legs. Oliver's head drops to the bed unceremoniously.

"Not okay man." He half grumbles, half laughs, then crawls towards me to resume his position in my lap.

I lean back into Cam's shoulder. "I'm not really sure yet. Elena and Gentry have walked me through what a standard birth with multiples would look like. And we have been going to the healers to take small doses of blood so we have plenty on hand since we know that blood loss is a big factor. They have also been talking to the elder healers in the Alpha King's pack about the birthing process for us. They actually have a lot of records and information, so I'm pretty confident in that. The biggest unknown is how the magic part works. Will it help the situation or intensify the bad stuff? We just don't know. I think the biggest thing for you guys is to work on your wolves and keep them in check. This is going to be hard and none of you can interfere if something goes wrong. And the healers need to do their job to save the girls no matter what." I run my fingers through Oliver's hair

"And you Bitty, they are going to have to save you. We can't do this without you, please don't talk like that." He pulls my hand out of his hair to lace our fingers together.

Dakota climbs beside me and takes my other hand. "Yeah, Sweetness, you need to be around so we can see how long we can keep you barefoot and pregnant." He smiles at me while he traces the lines in my palms.

I smile at him. "You do know how miserable that sounds to me right?"

"And yet, you didn't say 'no' to the idea." He growls and leans in to kiss me. "Did we tell you how beautiful you look today?" he whispers against my lips

"I think so. Maybe once or twice." I smile and lean in again.

Cam kisses my shoulder. "So f*cking beautiful.”

"I think it's time this dress came off though. You are way too overdressed for what we have in mind." Oliver rolls over and slides the delicate silk off of one shoulder and then the other, making room for Cameron at my neck and exposing my breasts. "I thought these might be getting bigger." He looks up at me through his lashes with a devilish grin. "You are perfect, but I'm not going to complain about more of you to share." He attacks one n*pple making me jump back into Cam's arms with a squeal.

"Uhh, Oliver!" Someone else massages the other. I love when they all come at me like this. I can't tell who's doing what and it is pure bliss.

"Can we take you to the water, Love?"

"Uhh, yes. Please." I am hypersensitive everywhere and I love it. I may not be as opposed to this whole pregnancy thing after all. But, I will never say that to them out loud. They think it will keep me here in the pack and not out working and handling pack business or working with Xander and Reggie in the Royal pack. They have a rude awakening coming, but I'll wait to explain that when they are done with all of this delicious torture.

"DAKOTA!!!"

"WHAT?! Is it time? Should I get the guys? Let's go!" He runs into our shared office and scoops me from my chair.

"Put me down, idiot." I laugh at him, but he doesn't put me on my feet, he sets me gently back in my chair. "Trust me you will know when it's time, but I do need you. I have to pee and I can't get out of this squishy chair by myself." We both laugh as he picks me up a little more gently this time. "I can walk. I'm actually supposed to walk as much as possible."

"Yeah, but you're actually letting us help you, I'm going to milk this for all it's worth." He kisses my temple.

They have been super sweet and

attentive through this whole thing. I blame the three, very active girls growing in my stomach right now, but my emotions have been all over the place, which is normal according to everyone. But I hate every second of the outbursts. I have cried overa log being wrong in the fire pit, gotten angry because a shirt was the wrong shade of blue. We discovered early that my magic is attached to the emotions I am having and I torched Oliver's shorts after I couldn't get a jar lid open. I dropped the jar on the counter and clenched my fists, knowing I was being irrational, but not in control and flames shot out and set his clothes on fire. Thank the goddess he's fast and they all thought it was hilarious until water started spraying out of every faucet on our floor with my crying when I thought I hurt him. It was ridiculous.

My wolf has been in mama mode too. She gives me updates on the girls from her perspective, which is interesting. She can already sense their wolves and says they will be strong. I really want to shift and again. think that is what I'm

missing most right now. I stopped shifting when we hit the four month mark and I am so big that most of my workouts are basically

impossible. I mean, walking is okay, once I am in an upright position, but even that simple action is tough. I just feel sluggish and slow and it makes me sad and angry all at the same time.

We are in a wait and watch situation too because of the multiples. Ava said she went into labor at five months with the boys. Everyone started watching me like a ticking time bomb when we hit the five month mark after she made that announcement. Everytime Open my mouth to speak, the reaction is basically the same as Dakota's right now. I feel like the boy who cried wolf, no one is going to believe me when I do finally go into labor, their nerves will all be fried by then.

"Anything else, my lovely little balloon?"

"You know, I am saving up all the cute little insults for when this is over so I can just kick your ass right? And yes, I have to actually get off the toilet too. I bet you guys never thought of this part when you were all excited about me being pregnant did you?"

"Sweetness, I have seen you rip wolves to shreds, blow things up, show up covered in half the forest and five different guys' blood. Not to mention being intimately aware of your entire body." Is he purring right now? Gross. "This is normal, like actually, for real, normal. I love all of this."

"Well, that's great. Help me up, please." He laughs and pulls my hands then kneels to put my leggings back into place.

He looks up at me. "You know, we haven't been out to the greenhouse for a few weeks. We could probably sneak out real quick..."

Epilogue 4

"No! Stop that thought right there. Once we start that, I get nothing done the rest of the day." I put my finger up in his face then move past him to wash my hands, which is another amazing feat since I have to stand sideways. He just laughs behind me. They used to try to hide when they were laughing at my newfound obstacles, but I can't chase or catch them anymore so it's just open season. "Asshole." I mutter. "What?! It's cute." He walks up and plants a kiss on my forehead and then leans down to kiss my ever growing belly, which immediately shuts down any irritation I have.

We start walking down the hallway back to the offices when my whole body seizes. "Kota!" I choke out sinking to my knees. Everything is in slow motion. He runs to me. I hear Oliver yell my name from somewhere behind me. Someone scoops me up, but my vision is blurred. We are moving. Whoever has me is running, but this haze at the edge of my vision is making it hard to focus. People are talking and I think I am talking back, but it's like being locked in my head. I don't know if I am in control right now.

"On the table." A female voice says stern, but calm. "The closer you are to her the better she will feel, but I will not hesitate to remove you if you become a danger to anyone in this room, including yourselves. Is that understood, Alphas?" Damn, I like her. I need her around all the time.

Movements. I feel my body being moved and adjusted. First my arms, then my legs. I still can't see through the fog or move on my own.

***"What's happening? I can't see. Is everything okay?"***

My wolf responds. ***Yes. I pulled you back to lessen the pain. You are aware enough to keep your mates from being annoying, but far enough in your mind that you can withstand the process." ***"Are the girls okay? Why is it so painful?****

***"Your magic is trying not to

divide. It may be intuitive for you, but

it isn't sentient. It doesn't

understand that you are producing your children and with that they get a piece of your magic. Your magic is resisting being siphoned off. It's a defense. It's fighting back ****

***"How do you know that? Why didn't we know that before? Is this why all the women in my family have had trouble with birthing?"***

***"I didn't know until now. I'm sorry

child. I wish we could have known sooner. I'm not sure why it's something that isn't in the healer's notes We should look at that when this is over. You are doing so wonderful though. Look."***

I shift my focus from my wolf and blink my eyes a few times to get them to focus.

"There you are, Babe. I'm glad you're back. Look what you did." Oliver tilts his arms and I can see he's holding a little pile of blankets. "What?" My brain is still fuzzy. "What happened? Where am I?" My voice is scratchy as I look around still feeling slow and confused.

"***

"Love, you are so amazing." Cam also has a smile pile of blankets.

"Take a deep breath, Sweetness. What do you smell?"

I'm confused, but do what he says. I inhale and take in their spicy comforting scents The cinnamon, citrus and honey wash over me and I feel my mind settling. Then I get it. A new scent hits me. It's floral and light, à clean vibrant scent, no, wait, scents. Three distinct scents.

Jasmine and rose and juniper, all

coming from them.

"What is that? Who is that?" I ask, trying to sit up, but finding my body does not like the motion one bit. "Why do I feel like I got hit by a train?"
