“Portal?”
“Yes. After what happened with the girls, the gods and goddesses of the Kingdom created portals that only those born from the Kingdom, or those who are meant to rule in it, can access. This portal is for the Wiccan. “How long have you known about this portal?” I questioned her.
“Not long. Maybe a few months. Miranda showed it to me in a vision, but I never thought I would have to use it. I guess it was her way of telling me that she was calling me home.”
“Home. Such a relative term, as it holds so much meaning. I’ve had many homes over the millennia, yet, no place ever felt like home. Other than when I was with Heaven, and then with you, at Blue Lake.”
“Blue Lake was home for both of us, Renz. Rylee was like a daughter to me as much as she was to you. She brought us together again. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t think you and I would have been able to save our mate bond.”
“I couldn’t agree with you more. When we were first mated together, I thought Selene was playing a practical joke on me.”
“I felt the same way with Miranda. I never understood why she would allow a witch to be mated to a werewolf, let alone a Primordial, but I guess there was a reason behind all of the madness. She mated me, her daughter, to a god of the Kingdom. I guess there is no better honor than that,” she said with a loving smile, her eyes filled with adoration. I gently pulled her into my arms and held her tightly.
“Olivia, I know you said that you’ve been alive too long to have children, but our return to the Kingdom will change all of that,” I whispered to her. I felt her body freeze. “My love, would you be willing to try?” She gently pulled away and stared at me. “Are you asking me to have children with you?”
“I am.”
“But, you said that-“
“I know that I said I didn’t want any, and you also said that you couldn’t have them. But things are drastically different now. We’re about to enter the Lunar Kingdom where you will also become immortal. Which means you and I can try for a family of our own.” “And what about Heaven? Won’t her spirit be in the Kingdom as well?”
“Yes, but I rejected her many, many years ago, and she accepted it. My mate bond with her is broken for all eternity. But you never accepted it. You waited over 800 years for me and, now, we are together, as one,” I reassured her as I lifted her hand to my lips and kissed the back of it. “When you and I walk into the Kingdom, we will be bound for all eternity. Even death won’t be able to tear us apart. If Selene and the others can have children of their own, then why can’t we?” Olivia became speechless and just stared at me like I had grown a second head.
“Renz, this is so sudden.”
“No, it’s not. I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, but I didn’t know how to bring it up to you. But, with everything going on and both of us having to leave Rylee and others behind, it makes me want a family of my own. With you. Maybe we can try for our own daughter. The one neither one of us got to have but were able to share in Rylee temporarily.” She continued to stare at me and, finally, her lips started to form into a smile. She scoffed but her smile only got that much bigger.
“Yes! Yes! Oh, my goddess, yes! Let’s have a family!” she cried out and jumped into my arms. I kissed her passionately and pressed her up against the mountain wall.
“I think we should start now,” I told her and pushed her dress up while unbuttoning my pants at the same time using my powers.
“Wait, the portal,” she said between kisses as I swiftly entered her without hesitation. “Ah!”
“f**k the portal. If they want to watch like peeping Toms, then let them. I want you, my beautiful Wiccan mate. And, as the god of Primordials, you will give me what I want. Is that understood?” I growled in her ears as I thrust into her with passion and devotion. “Yes, Lord William. Please, have your way with me!” she moaned and begged. I pulled her off the wall and took her on the ground in front of the portal as it began to open. Pressing her against the wall must have triggered it. Whoever came out to verify our identities was going to get an eye and earful.
***Wyatt’s
P.O.V.***
It’s been gloomy around here for the past three days since William and Olivia left. After everything that’s happened, I figured it was in our best interest to be upfront with the pack about their absence. I spilled the beans about pretty much everything-William and Olivia’s true identities, why he was so close to Rylee since day one, why they left, and where they went. The pack members were stunned, and a large portion of them weren’t too thrilled to find out that we had been lying to them yet again. Some had quite a bit to say about it and, of course, those same individuals had the nerve to ask if there was anything else I’d like to say to them in a tone that could only be described as highly disrespectful.
I decided to take Dorian’s advice by threatening those same individuals with an ultimatum. If they didn’t like how Rylee and I were running the pack, they were free to leave. They seemed taken aback and flustered since no Alpha of Blue Lake had ever made that threat before, but I stood my ground. All things considered, I didn’t have time for juvenile tantrums. With Rylee possibly being pregnant again and Eric still on the loose, I needed pack members that would stand by us without a shadow of a doubt.
My parents were still in the dark about everything else that recently happened, so I told them about Lexie and Lanie’s dormant powers that suddenly came to light and Rylee’s potential pregnancy. Once my mom heard the word pregnancy, she went straight to the kitchen to cook Rylee the only meal she would be able to keep down-steak and potatoes. It finally dawned on me that this was the same meal my mother made for her when she was pregnant with Sam and, at the time, my memories were altered. Even with Rylee moping in our room and only entertaining Sam, I was grateful that she would allow my mother in, and she would actually eat. My biggest fear was that her emotional distress would ruin her appetite, but it didn’t, and I couldn’t be more relieved. Even if she wasn’t opening up to me, I knew she was at least talking to my mom. I wasn’t sure if Rylee just needed a maternal figure in her life right now; but, as long as she wasn’t bottling up her feelings, I would give her space and let her heal however necessary on her own terms.
It was finally time to return to work since I had been on an extended leave of absence for far too long, and things at the company were getting more hectic with each passing week as projects came in left and right. Since the Alpha from Spain was singing our praises to his fellow Alphas in Europe, word had spread all the way to Asia, and I was now in short supply of teams to handle business. Human Resources decided it was a good idea to host a job fair and, as the CEO, I had to oversee it.
I was worried about leaving Rylee so soon after William and Olivia’s departure, but she reassured me that she would be fine and encouraged me to go. I knew better than to smother her and trusted that, if anything happened, she would link me or my parents would. I wanted Rylee’s environment to be as stress-free as possible, if that meant I had to get out of her hair for ten hours a day, then that’s what I was going to do. It would also give me a chance to check in with West to see what Eric and Ash were currently up to. I had Jason reach out to him with instructions to come by the company as soon as he had the chance.
*Ring ring ring*
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Valencia, but there is a Daryl West here to see you.”
“Send him in.”
“Yes, sir.”
The door opened, and West seemed a little hesitant to come in. He lacked confidence as he checked out my office as if he had never seen one before.
“Alpha, you’re a creature of habit,” he mentioned before taking his seat.
“What?”
“Your office here looks exactly like your office inside the packhouse,” he replied. I scanned the room and realized that he was absolutely right. How did I not notice this? I shook my head because we were getting off track. “We’re not here to talk about the interior of my offices, West. We’re here to discuss if you’ve learned anything new about Eric and his plans.”
“Not much, to be quite honest. Eric is a secretive bastard, he only meets with his individual moles one at a time and different locations so that none of us see each other.”
“Wait, did you say moles? As in, more than you and the one at Golden Moon?”
“Yes, that would be the definition of more than one,” he replied with a smart-a’s tone. I gave him a death glare. “Ahem, sorry.”
“How many?”
“How many what?”
“How many moles does he f*****g have, goddammit!” I shouted at him, making him jump.
“Christ, you don’t have to shout at me. I have no idea, okay!? All I know is that it’s multiple. At least one from every neighboring pack.”
“What? How the f**k does he have a mole in all of the neighboring packs!?”
