The Ties That Bond (Love Conquers All Book 1)

by Riki Bishop

  “You have nothing to worry about now baby girl. I’m here now. I love you and I was trying to find a way to get to you. I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you were taken. I lost myself while you were gone. We’re going to get home and my wolf is going to meet his pups for the first time and then I’m going to ravish your body after we run together. I love you Wills. Now get some sleep baby girl. We have a long flight ahead of us and with newborns, I doubt we’ll get much sleep.” Levi replies. He kisses my forehead as my eyes flutter shut listening to the sound of his heartbeat. This is real. This isn’t a dream. He’s here. Our pups are safe, and we are back together.

  “Attention passengers please prepare for landing.” It’s about damn time. Between the pups waking up every couple hours or so, I haven’t gotten much sleep. Levi has been great though. He was up with me each time one of them got up. He even told me to go back to sleep a few times, but I didn’t. It made him frustrated with me. He kept saying that I needed rest since I just gave birth a mere twenty hours ago. “Levs. We need to get the pack-n-play put up and get to our seats. You got to wake up baby.” I say shaking Levi, earning a grumble. He’s exhausted. I can tell he hasn’t slept well. “Levi Noel Andrews! Wake you ass up now. We are getting ready to land.”

  “Yeah, you’re going to make a great mother. Already using full names.” He said with a smirk. I just roll my eyes at him and go to change the pups and get everything ready for landing. I’m beyond ready to be home. Once we get the pups changed and everything stowed away, we head to the main part of the plane and buckle in. The pups did not like their little ears popping during landing, so they screamed the whole time. “You ready to get off this plane and head home baby girl?” Levi asks me as we land and gets everything gathered.

  “I am beyond ready. Let’s get our pups home where they belong. They have a daddy wolf to meet.” I tell him. We put the pups in seats that Levi had brought with him and everyone scrambles to gather their belongings before we can finally exit this damned plane.

  It takes us another hour just to get home and the ride has been pleasant. The pups slept the whole way and Levi and I didn’t stop touching each other. We each needed that reassurance that the other was there and it wasn’t a dream. I did manage to take a nap because when we finally make it back, Levi is shaking me awake. I grumble and open my eyes enough to glare at my husband. He just shakes his head and chuckles at my actions. “We’re home baby girl. You need to wake up.”

  “Okay, babe.” I say leaning up to give him a peck on his lips. “I love you. Let’s get our pups inside.” Levi gets out of the car first followed by me and we get the pups out. Levi is carrying the two boys’ car seats and I have Freya’s seat. We head inside, getting greeted by our fellow pack members along the way. All of the loving that we are home now, and they keep gushing about the pups. “Thank you all for showing us your love. I promise that you will be able to get to know our pups soon, but as of right now, I would appreciate it if you could give your King and I some time alone with our pups. We have been apart long enough.” I tell them as we walk towards our bedroom.

  Once we get onto the third floor and into our room, we get the pups out of their seats and lay them on our bed. We get them changed and fed and just enjoy some time staring at them. We sit there in silence for thirty minutes just watching our pups sleep. They sure came into this world at a difficult time, but I’m glad to say that, as of right now, our problems are gone. We’re not sure how things will be for our children in the future, but we are going to do anything and everything to make sure that they are protected and when it’s time for them to fulfill their destinies, then their father and I will be there for them every step of the way.

  “Are you ready to let your wolf meet his pups?” I ask Levi, breaking the silence of the room.

  “Yes. He has been wanting to crawl out this whole time.” He says as he stands to start taking his clothes off. Once he is completely naked, he transforms into his beautiful honey wolf. He just stands there staring at our pups with a look of awe in his eyes. “Hey, Alpha. It’s okay you won’t hurt them.” I tell Levi’s wolf. Our bed is big enough for his wolf form to get on comfortably and it’s strong enough for it to not break by his weight. “Why don’t you get up here and meet your pups.” He slowly makes his way up onto the bed. Being extra careful not to jostle the pups and wake them. He may have been clawing to get out, but I don’t think he knows how to handle this. He starts sniffing them and then he licks their hands and feet. I can see the wolfish grin on his face as he does so, but he immediately stops when Noel starts to stir.

  “It’s okay, he’s just ticklish.” I tell him. He sniffs them again and then he curls his body around them as he lays down with them. He’s big enough that even with three babies, he can almost wrap his body around them all in a closed circle. He sighs out in content and he watches our pups sleep and snuggle closer to one another. The two boys are on either side of Freya almost protecting her. She’s going to be in for a treat when she gets older. Between her two brothers, father, and uncles, she’s never going to get a boyfriend. Her mate is going to be given a hard time. “Alright, Alpha. I’m going to take a quick shower. Protect those pups or you’re sleeping in the doghouse.” He rolls his eyes and gives me the ‘like I would ever let anything happen to them’ look as I head to the closet to get clothes for a shower.

  I go into the bathroom and turn on the water to get it warming up. I can’t believe I’m finally home. It’s so good to be home because I don’t think I could have lasted much longer without my mate or family. Once the water is to the right temperature and I have shed all of my clothing, I step into the shower and let out a soft moan as the hot water washes over all of my tense muscles. I just sit under the stream for however long before I start washing my hair and then my body. The next thing I know is the bathroom door is opening and I can tell it’s Levi by his scent. He steps into the shower with me and wraps his strong arms around my waist and I lean back into his embrace. “Where are the pups?”

  “I had Shay and Ryder come and get them. I wanted to have a few moments alone with my wife.” He whispers in my ear lightly nipping on my lobe. I let out a soft moan as I turn to face him. I lean upon my tippy toes and plant my lips on his. It doesn’t take long for the kiss to become heated. Levi lifts me by my ass, and I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. Never breaking the kiss. He turns the water off and steps us out of the shower going straight for our bed.

  “Levi, we need to dry off or we’ll soak the bed.” I say in as I try to catch my breath as he lays me on the bed, ignoring my statement.

  “The sheets are going to be changed after I’m finished with you anyways baby girl.” He says as he climbs on top of me. Holding his weight on his forearms as he peppers kiss on my jawline, down to my neck, and paying special attention to my mark. I let out a moan as he kisses down to my breasts and takes one of my nipples into his mouth.

  “Levi.” I moan out, arching my back. He moves to the other breast and shows in the same treatment before he peppers kiss down my stomach before spreading my legs to plant kisses everywhere but where I want him to. “Levi. Please.” I beg. He smirks and adds a finger into my heating core. “Yes!” I moan out as his tongue finds my bundle of nerves. The louder my moans, the faster he moves his tongue and fingers. He adds another finger and nips at my clit. “Don’t stop.” I’m close to my first orgasm. He removes his fingers and I let out a frustrated whimper. He chuckles before his tongue enters my channel and his fingers massage my clit. “I’m going to cum baby!” I say arching my back. Levi puts his free arm around my torso to keep me from writing away.

  “Cum for me baby girl.” He says before he dives back in. A few more strokes of his tongue and fingers and I’m screaming out my release. He sucks up my juices like a man starved before kissing back up my body and claiming my lips on his. I can taste myself on his lips and tongue. I wrap my legs around his waist and use my strength to flip us over so I’m straddling him
. It’s my turn to play. I kiss down his jaw and to his mark. Kissing down his body until I reach his throbbing shaft. I lick the tip of his hard rod and he lets out a guttural groan. I take the tip in my mouth and suck it while grabbing his balls in my other hand. His hands find my hair and his fingers wrap around my hair. I move my head down farther on his cock, sucking and licking around it with my tongue. He pushes my head down so his shaft is down my throat. “Oh, Goddess, Willow! I love you so fucking much.” He breaths out. I moan on his cock and he groans in approval. I bob my head up and down until I know he’s about to find his release. I bob up and down a few more times before taking him deep in my throat as he releases his seed. He pulls me up and kisses me so I’m straddling his waist. “That was great baby girl, but I’m not done with you yet.” He says.

  “I’m not done with you yet either.” I say as I slide down his cock until he’s filling me. We both let out a moan as I adjust to his size. His hands find my hips as I start to move up and down, slowly at first and then picking up speed. He lets out a growl before turning us over to where he is on top of me. Pounding in my pussy with determination. I’m a moaning a screaming mess as he keeps up his relentless torture. My nails have definitely left marks and drew blood on his back, but I don’t care. “Oh, LEVI! Yes, don’t stop. I’m so close.”

  “I didn’t plan on stopping for a while baby girl.” He says, never stopping his thrusts. A few more thrusts and I’m pulled into my second orgasm of the night. Screaming his name. Levi thrusts a few more times before he finds his release. “Willow!” He growls out before collapsing on top of me.

  “I love you.” I tell him as I run my fingers through his hair.

  “I love you too baby girl. I’m so glad you’re home.” He sighs out. “I think we should get cleaned up and go on that run now and then we can show the pups their new room.” He says as he slowly pulls out of me. We both get dressed before heading outside to let our wolves free.

  This is how it was always supposed to be. Nothing that is threatening our family. Levi and I and our pups. This is how I hope it stays. I have my family and I can’t wait until we expand it more. I have everything I have ever wanted in this very moment. I have my husband and my mate, I have my family and friends, and I have my pups. What more could someone want?

  CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: EPILOGUE

  EIGHT YEARS LATER

  It’s been eight years since we went through the kidnapping of myself while I was pregnant with my pups. It didn’t take long for things to get back to normal. Well, as normal as raising three children who act just like their father could be. It’s been amazing to watch them grow into the people they are today. In human years they are only eight, but in our world of being werewolves, they are sixteen. We grow faster for the first eight years of our lives and then our aging slows drastically. Tomorrow is their sixteenth birthday and they all want something different, but we talked them into having one big party that all three of them can agree on. It is also the day that they will possibly find their mates.

  Everett is the jock. He is obsessed with sports and he is also obsessed with following his father around and learning his role as the Werewolf King. He won’t take over the position until he is eighteen and that is only if he has met his mate. Unless something were to happen to his father, then he would take the throne earlier. I know when I was his age, I wasn’t able to manage my time as well as he has. He has a set schedule that he follows every day. He is always up no later than six in the morning and out in the training arena. He’s been training with Ryder and Shay’s son, Jackson, who is going to be Everett’s beta. He’s the sweetest man out there. I can say confidently that his mate is going to be one lucky lady when he finds her.

  Freya is a popular nerd. She would rather read a book than go to a party, but she is very liked by everyone. She’s a social butterfly when she needs to be, but if she doesn’t have to be then she just stays to herself. She is very protected. Her brothers, father, and uncles have made sure that any boy that comes in contact with her knows to keep their paws to themselves or they will suffer severely. I don’t know how many times I have had to reprimand all of the men because they will not let her breath when a member of the opposite sex is around. I can tell it bothers her, but she’s kind enough to put on a show for the men in her life. She is a daddy’s girl and I couldn’t be happier. She has come into her witch powers easier than her brothers. I think it has something to do with the Moon Goddess part of her.

  Noel is our hothead. He has more vampire than wolf and witch present, but that doesn’t stop him from shifting and tearing up anything in his path if he gets mad enough. It has gotten to the point that Levi has put him on border patrol most of the time. He loves it. He said he wants to be a warrior, but he knows that once he turns eighteen he has to take the throne to the Vampire Kingdom. He has decided that his first action is going to move his Kingdom here in the States because he wants to be closer to his siblings. They are stronger together than if they are apart. He is always training in his free time. He is a looker, all of my kids are, but he seems to get the most attention from the girls. I must admit that I don’t like it. I don’t like the attention any of my pups get. I think they should wait for their mates; however, Levi and I have talked with each of them and explained our opinion to them and told them that it is ultimately their decision.

  Levi and I have had five more kids in the past eight years, and he wants to keep going. I’m okay with that because I want to have a big family, but I need a break. I want to be able to do things that I can’t do if I’m pregnant all of the time. I love being pregnant, but I want to go out for girls’ nights and all that good stuff.

  Jason and Alexis have three children. Triston, who is fourteen, Boston who is ten, and Veronica who is 3. Ryder and Shay have four and one on the way. There is Jackson at fifteen, Isabella at twelve, then the twins, Nixon and Kimber at the age of five. It’s safe to say that between the three of our families, we have a football team. Our house is definitely full. We all live in the packhouse. We just had to add two extra floors. The seventh floor is for our family. The sixth floor is for the Beta family. The fifth floor is for the Gamma family. The fourth floor is for our parents and special guests. The bottom three floors are for the wolves that have decided to stay at the packhouse and not find their own homes. Or they are just looking for their mates. Most of the warriors stay here as well. It is easier for everyone if anything were to happen.

  Tomorrow is going to be a busy day and I cannot be more excited to celebrate one of the biggest milestones in my pup's lives. Levi and I have done everything in our power to make sure everything is under control for their party tomorrow and to make sure that they are respectable young men and a young woman. Levi has made it his life mission to show Freya how a lady should be treated and show Everett and Noel how to treat a lady. I must say that I am very proud of my children and my nieces and nephews. I can’t wait to watch and support them as they follow the path that was destined for them.
