“I know I should have chosen a better way of getting Jenna out safely, that was my mistake. If you wish I can have Tania break the mate bond, so that you can find a second chance mate or take a chosen mate. I won’t make you stay if you don’t want too.” I say on the verge of crying.
“Nimue what are you talking about? Why would you do that?” Bronx is almost yelling; he sounds so hurt that I would let them go.
“Scott has rejected me, our bond is broken now, and my heartbeat is incomplete again. Since neither of you will talk to me or come near me, I thought it’s what you wanted.” I am bawling and have crumpled into a heap on the couch. When I do, the front door opens with Kenneth, Rachel and Scott carrying boxes and bags into the house.
“What is going on? Why is Nimue crying?” Rachel asks, placing the bags down and coming to me immediately. I push her away and run back upstairs to my bedroom, I just want to be left alone.
“DID YOU REJECT NIMUE?” Onyx roars holding Scott by the throat against a wall. Kenneth tries to pry Onyx's hand off Scott's neck, but it’s Bronx that gets him to let go.
“Onyx, Nimue would be absolutely crushed if you hurt Scott. Let him go. If he can easily walked away from his TRUE MATE and CHILD, then he is not deserving of death.” Bronx calmly says and Onyx releases him.
“Why would I leave the one person I have wanted my entire life? Are you fucking serious?” Scott yells at Onyx.
“Nimue can’t feel our mate bond anymore. You have been gone for two days, which means you rejected the clan and Nimue. She even offered to have Tania finish breaking the bond between Onyx and myself. That is why.” Bronx says turning Scott’s face from a bright red to white.
“Scott, get your ass up to that room and fix this you fucking prideful moron! You hurt her and I will kill you myself!” Kenneth says gritting his teeth. Theo, his lion is coming out and Kenneth is having a hard time keeping him from tearing Scott apart. Scott runs up the stairs and comes straight to my room. I don’t notice when Scott has shut the door and comes over to kneel in front of me. Tears are still streaming down my cheeks and my heart feels broken.
“Little Firefox, please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to leave for so long. I went to see mom and dad, to get the baby furniture for our little ones. I hadn’t realized I was gone for so long. I am so sorry. I would never reject you Nimue! You are the only person I have ever wanted to be with my entire life, even when we were little I always asked the gods for you to be my mate.” Scott says looking like he just lost his whole reason for living.
I don’t think, I bring my lips to his and kiss him with a strong need and want. He is quick to return the kiss and deepens it and starts to undress me. His hand brings my tank top over my shoulders and above my head. It gets thrown just in front of my closet door, then he slips his hands up over my shoulders and down my breasts as he removes my bra. Still kneeling he kisses my chin and moves down my neck to my left breast. Taking the nipple into his mouth he starts to suck and pull lightly. Truthfully, it feels good, as they have hurt like a bitch from the hormones. Scott’s sucking gets more forceful as I can feel the pressure being released, it feels really amazing and causes me to moan. He moves to my right breast and does the same thing, and again his sucking is forceful.
Sliding back on the bed, Scott hooks his fingers into my pants and underwear and pulls them down my legs as I move. As I moan from just the pleasure of him sucking on my nipples, he thrust into me.
“OH Scott! More please more!” I beg, his thrusts are deepening, getting harder and fast in rhythm. Causing me to scream his name over and over again. He doesn’t stop when I tell him I am going to cum, he just keeps going and becomes more frenzied with every movement. When the heat explodes throughout my body, I am left unable to do anything, it was the best orgasm I have ever felt. Scott doesn’t let me enjoy it for long, he starts to build another one in my core. Almost to give me a higher and stronger feeling of pleasure. This time when I release, he bite down on my neck, instinct takes over and I do the same. After the renewing of our bond and claim, a huge wave of warmth spreads in my pussy as Scott pours his seed into me, causing another orgasm to erupt and my heartbeat returns to the hum it was before. Once he relaxes and moves from between my legs, he lays facing me and pulls me as close as he can.
“I am so sorry Nimue, Dexter and I didn’t think before we left to go get the baby furniture. I should have told you where I was. Both Theo and Onyx are ready to kill me for it. I would never leave you willingly little Firefox. I promise I will always be here for you and the cubs.” Scott is crying and I just can’t bear to stay mad or hurt, I get it, he was angry and yes I should have used my head. Guess Draven was right when he said I don’t always use my brain. Shh don’t tell him I said that it will give him a big head. I wipe his tears and kiss him again. He moves from my lips to my neck to my cheeks, to my chin. Basically, leaving kisses all over my face and neck.
“Scott, Onyx and Kenneth are angry because they both had parents walk away from their mate and child.” I say and Scott looks confused. “Kenneth has an older brother; did you know that?”
“No, I didn’t, Pride Leader Daniel and Queen Marilyn were together and had Kenneth and Cindy already. I am 2 years younger than Kenneth. They were already leading the pride when my parents had me. Rachel might know, she is only 6 months younger than Kenneth.” Scott says and moves some of my hair out of my face.
“Pride Leader Daniel was Marilyn’s second chance mate. Her first mate rejected her when he found out she was pregnant with his cub. She wasn’t his Queen but was the first to bear him a child. Which meant that child would become leader. Tony was 5 years old when Daniel and Marilyn met. Daniel raised Tony and taught him that it was the responsibility of a leader to take care of the pride, that the pride were his children, and the leader is like a father. So, when Tony challenged his dad for the title to the Diamond Pride and won, he took all the children from the orphanage and moved them into the Pride house. Taking them as his own. The pride killed his dad, after he admit the truth of what he did. They were ashamed of him.” I say. I don’t want the same for Scott, it was an accident, and he was thinking of our little ones. I know the furniture he is talking about. It has been in his family for 9 generations. I imagine even Rachel got some of it too for her cubs.
“How do you know this Nim, it’s not like Kenneth talks about it. I am older than you and I didn’t even know this.” Scott keeps massaging my shoulders and neck while we talk.
“When Draven and I traveled to get accurate numbers for the council about the Silver Shadow bloodline, Diamond Pride was one of my stops. I met Tony the day they executed his father. So, I got to hear the story. With Onyx, his mom just up and left when he and Tilly were little. His dad came home to a 6 year old Onyx cooking, cleaning, and taking care of Tilly. He found his mom a few years ago and brought her before Elder Sutherland. She too was killed for her actions, but there’s more to that then even I know. I don’t ask Onyx about it because he has lost so much, and I don’t want to bring up pain from his past. I am supposed to help you heal as your mate, not cause more damage.” I say wrapped in Scott’s arms, we have switched positions and my back is against his chest when there’s a light knock on the door.
“Come in guys, we are covered.” Scott yells, and the door opens with Rachel walking in first. Sitting on the end of the bed, Onyx and Bronx come past her to lay on either side of Scott and me.
“Is everything good now? You also owe an apology to Onyx and Bronx, Scott Windsor Bennett!” Rachel says glaring daggers at her brother.
“Yes everything is fixed, and guys I am sorry. I didn’t mean to leave like that and not let anyone know where I was or when I would be back. It took dad a little longer than anticipated to get the furniture for the cubs out of storage. I am sorry. I was hoping to surprise all of you with the cubs rooms being set up.” Scott says to Onyx and Bronx.
“No worries man, leaving bachelorhood behind is harder than we expected. Believe me. I still
have to remember to put the seat down! Nimue fell in again last night!” Bronx says, causing everyone to burst out laughing.
“I am sorry too Scott; I shouldn’t have tried to strangle you. Just not something I want for Nimue to ever have to experience, or our pups. It’s not a happy time for a child to go through.” Onyx says looking sad, I know he’s thinking of the years after his mother left.
“No, I understand, you have had some experience in the past you don’t want our cubs to go through. I get that and believe me I deserved it. I should have thought and told you where I was. Hey where’s Kenneth? I should probably apologize to him also.” Scott asks, looking to see Kenneth is MIA.
“He’s putting the furniture in the cubs room. He needed to let Theo out to burn off some anger and that was the best way, since that furniture is fucking heavy!” Rachel says shaking her head, almost like she is glad we have to deal with it instead of her. The three guys sit and talk for a bit and they are all good again. I am super stiff now from the exercise and sex, so a long hot shower is needed. Thank goddess it was just a lot of phone calls to get everything re-organized for the Life Celebration or I would be seriously behind and having to get my ass moving. I can’t wait for Wednesday. Bronx gets me my big fluff robe. I get up to have a shower and help with the baby stuff when Onyx comes over to me.
“I am sorry to you also Nimue, I should not have done that to Scott. I love you and I promise to talk before I kill.” He says, I laugh at him and give him a kiss.
“I love you too my killer earth troll!” I say and get tickled. I giggle escaping Onyx’s tickle attack and run into the bathroom for a shower. I must have been in there a while, because I soon heard a crash and a number of choice swear words come from Bronx. I walk out finding the bed has been taken apart and a new bed laying in pieces to be put together. It’s a low rise bed, so with the box spring and mattress, I don’t need to take a running start and catapult myself on the damn thing.
“Babe, what’s this?” I ask walking up to Bronx and running my hand through his hair, while he is going through all the boxes to make sure he didn’t lose anything.
“One, you smell so good right now! Two, this is our new California King bed! It’s huge and there is lots of room for the four of us and the three fledglings when they get here.” He says with a chuckle, he’s right, we will need all the room we can get in bed once the pups are here. Bronx stands up and gives me a hug and kisses my forehead when I wince from pain in my boobs again.
“Nimue, when did they start to hurt?” He asks with a raised eyebrow.
“This morning, at first I thought it was because of the two days of exercise punishment you gave me. But it went away when Scott was sucking on them. It just started to come back now.” I answer him.
“Ok I think it’s just because of the multiple species pregnancy, that you are going to experience it so early. With that said though, I want Tania and Surrey to look you over, and an ultrasound done to make sure you and the fledglings are ok.” Bronx says looking less worried now with a plan of Doctor visits for me. I get dressed and head out to make sure progress is underway for the Life Celebration, check on our regular deliveries and then I want to enjoy killing my Uncle and the Beta for not only their crimes against me, but for all their crimes. This is going to be fun. A few moments later I am walking to my office when I hear …
“No! I am the account holder, you moron. I want to know why the regular delivery hasn’t been made?” Onyx says looking at me with so much frustration. “What do you mean it was delivered? We haven’t gotten a fucking thing! Send me a copy right now showing I signed for it.” A few seconds later a ping goes off, showing he has received an email. When Onyx pulls it up, he’s fuming, and I can see why. Alpha Eric Nickolas signed for the delivery, so it never made it to us. “I have a question for you, since when did my name change from Onyx Winterclaw to Eric Nickolas? Can you not fucking read? It’s a good damn thing we don’t NEED to do business with you. I am sure your competitor would love to have our business. Have a good day.” With that he slams the phone down.
“How bad is it?” I ask almost fearing the worst when I walk over to him.
“It’s not actually, we have most of the stuff from the delivery already planted in the outdoor gardens and the green houses have been actually starting to produce veggies and fruit since putting the bees and other insects in for pollination. This was just in case that didn’t work, I am still not happy though.” Onyx says as he places his hand on my stomach, the little ones come to life when their daddies are around. Once he has calmed down and the pups stop moving, Onyx removes his hand. I lean down and give him a kiss to help him feel better.
“Ok, then I am going down to get some violent fun in, and I know just who’s going to be on the receiving end today.” I say smiling and Onyx just laughs. He knows Uncle Tit is going to be wishing he never thought of doing this shit ever.
“Hey, use your cleaner, and give Tank a call. I am sure he would love to see that again!” Onyx yells while I walk down the hall. That is a very good idea actually.
“Tania, is Tank with you?” I mind-link her.
“Yes and we are waiting for you down with your Uncle. We let Sylvia have the Northern Lake Beta. I am sorry to say she killed him. We had to, she was starting to go dark, and we were worried.” Tania links back.
“That’s absolutely amazing! She needed it for more reasons than anyone could understand. I am fine with her doing that to him.” I link back when I walk out of the elevator. The guard comes with me from the elevator to the cell that my Uncle is in. Tania and Tank are there, so is Jenna, Steven, and Sylvia. Out of the corner of my eye I see a black shadow move out from the others.
“Tania or Sylvia, can one of you bring Dane into a physical form for a little while?” I ask, I already know what and who it is. I want him to finally have peace too.
“Yes we can, but he needs to be here first.” Sylvia says.
“He’s right beside Jenna. The black shadow is Dane.” I say pointing Dane out, the girls gasp. Tank looks at me with a smile, he knows what I am thinking. Steven starts to cry, as his wolf Mase and Dane were like brothers in past lives, he misses his friend. Dane comes to stand in front of me and Tania casts the spell to bring him into physical being. As soon as she does, Dane lunges for my Uncle’s throat. I give my Uncle a bit of a chance and have removed his chains, but that won’t help him against his wolf. My Uncle is screaming, and Dane does not relent. I just sit and watch as my Uncle bleeds from his forearms, his right shoulder, his right femur is broken, and the thigh shredded.
“Feel better old friend?” Steven asks giving Dane a pat on the shoulder.
“Greatly! You fucking piece of shit! I should kill you, but that would not be fair to Nimue!” Dane yells at Tim while baring his teeth. There’s a knock on the cell door, I go and open it. The 15 year old boy from the attack at Tiger Lily, smiles and hands me a bottle of my cleaner.
“Ma’am, thank you for giving dad and I a chance to fix our mistakes. It was very pleasing and a great release for us to help Enchantress Sylvia and use your special cleaner on Beta David. He was the one that killed mom and Stacey.” He says, I nod giving him a smile as well and before he turns to leave he asks, “Oh, I know that this may be a little much. But can you please ask the Moon Goddess to give me a wolf? The one I had at the Pride house was an enchantment. I was born without a wolf. I will do whatever she asks to show I am worthy! Please and thank you.” As if on cue, Dane becomes a shadow again and runs tackling the kid. There’s a quick gasping sound and then he’s back on his feet and looks at me shocked and confused.
“I think it was already planned for you to gain a wolf. He just hadn’t found you yet. His name is Dane. He will help you learn to be a strong wolf and a great man. Listen to what he tells you, he has been around a long time, he knows what he’s talking about!” I say smiling. He looks like he just won the lottery. His smile goes from ear to ear.
“Thank you, Alpha Nimue, Thank y
ou!” He grabs me in a hug and of course Tank growls. He releases me and runs down the hall, probably to tell his dad. With that happy ending, I shut the door and turn towards Uncle Timothy. Tank sees the bottle and starts jumping up and down in excitement.
“What in Hades is wrong with him?” Steven asks, giving Tank an odd look.
“She’s going to MELT him!” Tank shrieks in a high demonic voice and is still bouncing in anticipation. Tania just shakes her head and chuckles. It has to be different to see an animal of death get excited for something other than hunting souls.
“What do you mean?” Both Steven and Aunt Sylvia ask looking unsure if they heard Tank right.
“You will see.” I say hooking the bottle up to another watering can spout and placing it in a holder this time. I manipulate silver to drag Timothy under the spout, he’s lying flat and being held down with it. Although it’s not affecting him the same way, I still use it. Then I flip a switch on the wall starting a fan, just as the smell of burning flesh starts to fill the air in the room. The fan also causes the bottle to swing back and forth in its holder, making the drips land all over his body. He starts screaming because no matter what it will still burn. I just sit there and watch as the mixture burns everywhere it lands. It’s almost like art, but with less paint and more blood.
“Nimue, please I beg of you to let me go! I can’t hurt anyone!” Uncle Tim begs as the burns are becoming huge sores and he’s losing a lot of flesh and blood.
“Were you going to let JENNA go on Friday? Did you let ANYONE go over the last ten years? Did you let ME go? DID YOU LET MOM AND DAD GO TEN YEARS AGO?” I am screaming with rage. I have stopped the bottle from swinging and just let the mixture drip on his chest.
“My pups will NEVER have to worry about the worthless piece of shit you are, ever hunting or hurting them! EVER!” I take the bottle from the holder and remove the spout; I bring enough silver up around his head to keep it from moving and I stuff the bottle opening into his mouth and make him drink it. He’s choking and I can see the mixture burning his body from the inside. His face sinks in on itself, you can see his spine through the opening that was his neck, there’s only a small amount of flesh at the back that’s still attached. His chest is ripped open and his stomach is bloated from the buildup of gas. Removing the bottle from his mouth, I dump the remaining mixture on his still beating heart, and in seconds it explodes.
