Chapter 125


    It’s only a week before my twentieth birthday and I’m bing more nervous. On one hand, I don’t


    want it toe because I don’ t want toe into my full powers, but on the other, I’m anxious to see


    if Den really is my mate. What I won’t give to have that special connection with someone. I had one


    with Gavin, to an extent, and he will always have my heart, but it was never the connection of fated


    mates and I know he wants me to be happy. I’ ve always had a stronger bond with Den, so it makes


    sense that the Goddess would have fated us to each other.


    I’ve been slowlying around to believing that the Alpha of Storm River really is my fated mate. Why


    we have had to go through everything that we have, I’m not sure at all, but the Goddess always has a


    reason for why she does things the way she does. It’s strange that she would present the obstacles


    that she has, for example, L. Wouldn’t it be easier to just let Den and I be with each other, and


    choose one another if we were fated? Why have us go our separate ways, and each bear a pup from


    another. I thought mate bonds are supposed to be sacred. It’s almost as if the Goddess pushed L


    and Gavin into our lives. I won’tin, though, because I definitely got the better end of the deal.


    I chuckle at the thought, and for a moment, I swear I could hear Gavin’s chuckle as well as the breeze


    comes through the office window. I smile towards the window, “I miss you, Gavin. I hope you know that


    you will always hold a huge chunk of my heart.” In that moment, a familiar scent, one that I will never


    forget because it’s his scent, dances on the breeze, making me smile.

    Instead of staying stuffed in my office, I go in search of Demi, who has my son at the moment. I want to


    take a walk on this gorgeous


    Dividing into pages now


    afternoon, and I want my son with me. He’s growing too fast for my liking, and I want to spend as much


    time with him as I can. All too soon, he will be crawling, and then walking, and then next thing I know,


    he will be starting school. I know all too well how busy an Alpha and Luna can get, so I want to make


    sure that I always find time for my children.


    I find Demi in the back yard, watching Ayden y on the yset while holding Ash in her arms. I had


    sent my Beta to the human town to find the biggest yset to put up in the back yard. It now looks like


    a miniature park in the backyard, and even though there is a park close by, I love the fact that I can sit


    out here to watch the kids enjoy themselves without leaving the pack house.


    “I was just going toe find you, Luna. Ash is starting to get fussy for his feeding.” Demi informs me.


    I nce at my watch, “Oh wow, I hadn’t realized it was thatte already. Here, I was going to take him


    for a walk anyway, so I’ll find a nice quiet spot and let him feed.”


    I cradle Ash in my arms as I walk across the backyard towards the tree line. I know the perfect


    secluded spot under a cherry blossom tree. I visit it often when I need to feel close to Gavin because


    it’s where we came a few times to have our private moments. Who knows, it could have been one of


    those moments that created this little bundle of joy in my arms.


    Leaning back against the tree, I lift my shirt up and bring my son to my breast. He’s a hungry little pup


    as hetches on in an instant and starts sucking vigorously. I can’t help butugh, “I’m sorry for making


    you wait, little man.”


    Closing my eyes, I listen to the sound of the small field that the


    Dividing into pages now


    blossom tree grows in. The birds are chirping, the squirrels are out collecting their food for the


    uing winter months, I can even sense deer close by. There is another scent, and I grin as I switch


    my son to the other breast.


    “Hm, I’m a bit jealous of him at the moment.” The deep voice is smooth like chocte as ites


    closer.


    “Maybe if you’re good, he will share them with you, but you will have to wait untilter, of course.” I


    smile up at the handsome Alpha who now stands, towering over me with his hands in his pockets. His


    shirt sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, showing off the veins that run through his muscr forearms.


    “You were made to be a nurturing mother; do you know that? It suits you, nicely.” He takes a seat on


    the ground right beside me.


    “No, you just enjoy staring at my boobs.” I chuckle.


    “Well, that too, of course,” he joins in with his own little snicker, “Seriously, though, I love watching you,


    not just with Asher, but with Holden as well. It makes me so happy to know that my son. has you in his


    life.” He brushes a few strands of hair away from me face.


    “I love the little guy like my own, and I pray to the Goddess every night that we are truly mates just so


    Holden will know the real love of a mother.”


    “Oh, is that the only reason?” Den’s brow lifts.


    “I guess his dad is pretty hot too, and is amazing in bed.” I wink at him, and he throws his head back at


    laughs, startling my son. “Ouch!” I give a yful re at the Alpha, “Thanks for that!”


    Den shrugs, “What did I do?”


    Dividing into pages now


    “You scared my son and he ripped his mouth away from me. Do you want to know what that feels like?


    I can show you.” I go to pinch his own nipple but he blocks me,ughing.


    “I’ll take your word on it, but I’m sorry. I can kiss them better for you.”


    I roll my eyes, “If you’re lucky.”


    “I’ve no doubt. You can’t resist my charm. After all, you’re the one that said that I’m amazing in bed.”


    He smirks.


    “Oh, for the love of the Goddess…” I pull my shirt down, making the Alpha beside me pout, “What are


    you doing here anyway? I thought you weren’ting until dinner.”


    He leans in and nuzzles my neck, “I was craving you, so I decided to y h*oky from work. Are you not


    happy to see me?”


    The way his lips are moving across my neck is doing delicious things to me, “You know d*mn well that


    I’m always happy to see you.”


    “Mm, I know. I can smell your arousal.”


    “Okay, I think we had better head back to the pack house.” I move away quickly but I don’t miss the


    confusion on Den’s face. Sighing, I look down at him, “It doesn’t feel right being intimate with you


    here.”


    He searches the area and then nces back up at me, “Why, there isn’t a soul around?’


    “This was mine and Gavin’s spot,” I bite down on my lower lip, hoping he doesn’t get upset, “I just feel


    like I would be tainting what we had by being with you here.”


    Surprisingly, Den smiles softly and then stands up. Stepping up close to me, he caresses my face,


    “It’s okay, Quinn. I don’t ever want to spoil a memory of yours that you had with him. Those are. yours


    to cherish, and you are mine to cherish, and keep happy.” He leans in and kisses my forehead, “Come


    on, let’s go get the little one into his crib.”


    “So, how is the party preppinging along?” Den lounges on the sofa in my office.


    “I’m not quite sure. You would have to ask Cici on that one, you know how much I hate that stuff,


    besides, I have enough on my mind with this Dire wolf s*it.”


    He frowns, “Quinn, being a Dire wolf isn’t s*it. There is


    responsibility, yes, but you are the most important wolf in our world.”


    I smirk, “Yeah, until I mate and then the King will take that spot.”


    The Alpha scrunches his brows together, “You don’t know much about the legend, do you? Quinn, YOU


    will be the Queen of all wolves, and yes, your mate will be the King, but this isn’t a fairytale. The Queen


    is who rules, not the King. I mean, yes, he rules too, but The Queen is the important one between the


    two.”


    I sigh heavily and push away from my desk to go stand by the window, “What if I don’t want it? The


    responsibility, I mean.”


    He chuckles now, “I don’t think it works that way, sweetheart.”


    I turn towards him and study his features as he stares back at me, “If it happens that we aren’t fated,


    will you still help me get through this? I don’t have the slightest idea on where to even start learning


    about my powers.”


    Dividing into pages now


    I watch as he stands up and walks over to me, pulling me into his chest and holding me tight, “I will


    always be here for you


    regardless, Quinn. Never doubt that.”


    “Can I just choose you? Can we just mate and get it over with already?” I say it yfully because I


    already know the answer to it. Only his fated mate or death to his current Luna can free him from the


    shackles that he is in, and as much as I hate the b*tch, I can’t just up and kill her.


    “It’s only a week of waiting, and then we will know for sure.” He kisses the top of my head, “You know, if


    it turns out that we are fated, I’m not letting you out of my sight until we mate and mark each other.”


    I pull back enough to look up at him wide eyed, “You don’t want to wait until the union ceremony?”


    Shaking his head, his jaw clenches, “No, I don’t want to give anybody a chance to take you from me.


    We can do it before the ceremony, you just won’t be my Luna yet. In order for that to happen, we will


    have to find the b*tch, so you can challenge her for your rightful title.”


    “It will be my pleasure to do so. I may not be able to off her for no reason, but I’ll dly fight her till the


    death.” I gaze up into his brown orbs, “All we have to do is find her first.”


    I love writing these little intimate moments between these two. =)
