35 THE CHANGE PART 1

King Micah POV

I’m sitting in my office when Maddox appears in front of me with our trusted guards. He is the only one I would trust with this mission. I had sent him to the coven because word has traveled about the vampire from that coven that is trying to fulfill a prophecy I didn’t even know existed until two days ago. I would have made the trip myself if my Queen wasn’t very pregnant. “How did it go?” “They are quite confused about your desire to help them but I assumed you would want to be the one to share your reasons. Have you told Loreli about your visitor?” “Not yet, but I will very soon.” The door to my office bursts open and my beautiful Queen walks in with our son. He turned twelve a few days ago. That was the night my grandmother Alexia came to me in a vision. “Seems now is as good time as any brother”, Maddox says before he disappears. Sometimes I would like to kick his a**. “A good time for what,” Loreli asks. “Jacob, why don’t you go to the kitchen and get a snack while I talk to your mom.” He heads out the door and I link a guard to escort him to the kitchen. I motion for Loreli to come and sit on my lap. I place my hands on her very prominent bump. “How is our daughter doing today?” “She is just fine, now tell me what Maddox was talking about.” I can’t help the laugh that escapes me. No one else would dare speak to me this way but my mate has me wrapped around her little finger. “My great grandmother came to me the night of Jacob’s birthday.” “Why I am just hearing about it now” she says, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Loreli, you know I don’t keep things from you. I had planned to tell you I just wanted to do a little research before I worried you.” “You know how I feel about secrets, Micah.” “I do love and I have always honored my vow to you to be honest in our relationship. This is no different.” She seems to

relax and I press a kiss to her lips. I pull back and she smiles at me. “What did Alexia show you?” “I know you don’t want to think about our son ever finding his mate, but she will be a very important and powerful she-wolf.” She slaps my arm. “That is not true, I will love our son’s mate. I just don’t want him to grow up too fast. I want to enjoy our time with him. So, she showed you Jacob’s future mate.” “Yes, she did and she is a member of the Scarlett Rose Pack.” “That’s wonderful, so why do I sense there is a downside to this vision.” “She is part of a prophecy and there are many evil people that are trying to get to her. If they succeed, she will not live to mate with Jacob. If that happens, he will never get a second chance. She is the key to maintaining the balance in the supernatural world.” “She is the key to our son’s happiness. How old is this poor girl, Micah?” “She is only ten, but I have a plan to keep her safe. I will be meeting with her pack and I’m hoping they will allow her to live here in the castle under our protection.”

“The prophecy says she will shift earlier than most wolves, but it is not exact. It is imperative we protect her now.” “Micah, she is just a child. Her parents aren’t going to want to just hand her over to us. I would never allow anyone to take Jacob.” I place my hand on her face. “Love, these evil ba**ards need to kill her before her first shift to gain her power.” She gasps and I see tears well in her eyes. “Loreli, I will never let that happen. We will make sure that Jacob’s mate and the future Queen of Werewolves remain safe from those that intend to harm her.” “I would like to go with you and speak to her mother.” “Of course, but if you feel the slightest tinge of pain I expect to be told immediately.” She leans in kissing my lips and I couldn’t love this woman more. I link Maddox to return to my office. A few minutes later, he walks back in with a smirk on his face. I flip him the bird out of my mate’s line of sight. He chuckles and she turns looking at me. “I assume you told my beautiful sister-in-law about our great grandmother’s visit.” “Yes, I did” I say with irritation. “Call Alpha Lake Solace and arrange a meeting with him and the triplets.” “Yes, my King.” “Shut the hell up and go do what I asked.” He laughs as he walks out of my office. He is lucky he is my brother and I love him or I would seriously pummel him.

Ruby POV

My phone rings and I place it to my ear. “Ms. Solace this is Lane. I’m the private investigator that was hired by Maverick. I have some information regarding Bruce Colwell that you may both find interesting. Would you be able to meet me at your office this afternoon?” “Unfortunately, not today. We have important plans. We would be available in three days if that works for you, Lane.” “Absolutely, I will be at your office on Wednesday at nine.” I hang up and Maverick comes out of the bathroom. I tell him about the phone call with Lane. “Good, I hope he can give us the information we need to make that ba**ard pay. I want him, Delilah, and Jennifer out of our lives for good.” He takes my hand and pulls me into his arms and I melt into his chest. “Ruby, I can feel your anxiety through our bond. I wish I could give you some of the peace I feel knowing this is happening today.” I pull back and press my lips to his. “I trust that you will come through this unscathed, but that doesn’t mean I won’t worry till it’s over.” He kisses my forehead and he takes my hand. We head for the hospital. The change will take hours and it’s time to get started.

We walk into the room and Connor and Autumn are already waiting. There is an awkward silence as we wait for the doctor to arrive. I don’t think any of us know what to say in this moment. “What color do you think my awesome wolf will be” Connor says, and we all bust out laughing. It lightens the mood in the room. Before anyone can answer, the doctor and Tabby step inside. “So, I know we spoke about this before, but I want to stress that this will be painful and once we start there is no going back” the doctor says. “Is everyone still in agreement with moving forward?” He looks at me first and I nod. Once he has confirmation from all of us, he sends the nurses in to prep Maverick and Connor. They both strip down to their boxer briefs and get into the beds that are sitting next to each other. We all agreed we wanted to do this together. The nurses hook them both up to IV fluid. Autumn and I sit next to each other watching the nurses move around the room. Gemma has been quiet today and I’m not sure what to make of it. “Gemma, are you ready?” “Ruby, I know you are worried, but Maverick is right. I don’t know why, but I know he is meant to be a wolf. We are meant to make him one.” Her words ease my nerves. The doctor returns “let’s begin.” Autumn and I both stand walking over to our mates.

I climb on the bed and straddle Maverick. “When the bite happens gentlemen, try to relax. It will be different than the marking bite and lasts longer. Do not move or push your mate away during the process.” I lean down and kiss my mark before Gemma pushes forward. My canines elongate and I bite down into his marking spot. This time I release my venom into his body. I hold the bite even when I feel Maverick’s body tense. He grabs my hips and squeezes them. Maverick lets out a scream but I don’t release the bite even though the sound of his pain nearly breaks me.

Maverick POV

Well, the doctor wasn’t kidding. This is nothing like when Ruby marked me. There was pain then, but it was immediately replaced by pleasure. There is no pleasure now. The pain is tremendous. I try to hold back my screams but eventually I can’t. I’m not sure how much time passes when Ruby releases the bite and licks my neck. When she pulls back, her cheeks are stained with tears. I can feel my body start to shake and despite wanting to comfort her, I can’t. A wave of heat moves through my body and I feel like I’m on fire. I scream again and I can hear Ruby speaking in my ear. “You are so strong. I know you can do this. The pain won’t last forever and then you will have your wolf. I love you, Maverick.” I hear a scream and I manage to look over at Connor. He is shaking and writhing in pain. Autumn is standing next to his bed and Tabby comes to stand next to my bed. I can barely hear the chanting but after a few minutes I am consumed by darkness. What the hell happened? I know I’m not dead. I meant what I said to Ruby about not being worried about becoming a wolf, but what the hell just happened?

“You’re lucky to be blessed with such a powerful and loving family” a deep male voice says in the darkness. I can’t see but I try to look around anyway. “Who are you? Where am I?” The voice chuckles “You’ll know me soon enough. Try to rest in this place. It is an in between for lack of a better term.” I feel like I’m floating. There is no way to know how much time passes, but it feels like hours. “Maverick, the time has come to return to your mate” a soft female voice speaks in the darkness. “I’m glad that you insisted on finding your wolf. He has been patiently waiting for you. This was always meant to be. The wolves that you and Connor are being blessed with are brothers. For all intensive purposes, you will beContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

brothers and it will be a bond that can never be broken. Embrace what you are and know that I am always here for you both, my son.” Just like before, the voice is gone, but this time I feel like I’m falling instead of floating. Is all this just a dream or could that really have been the goddess speaking to me?

Ruby POV

Maverick and Connor have been unconscious for hours. I was grateful that Tabby and Autumn could relieve their pain but they can’t make the change go any faster. The sun has set and I say a prayer to the goddess that this will be over soon. A light knock on the door gets my attention and I’m shocked to see my grandfather Archer step inside along with Maverick’s mother. Gwen supported Maverick’s decision but she didn’t want to see him go through the pain of the change. I stand going over and wrapping her in a hug. “He hasn’t woken up yet but he seems to be comfortable thanks to Tabby. Autumn comes over and hugs her next. Gwen takes a seat next to Tabby on the couch and I turn to my grandfather. He pulls me into a hug. I don’t know why, but I let tears flow freely. It was traumatic to watch and I hated seeing him in such pain. “You’re so much stronger than I ever was” my grandfather says, bringing me out of my breakdown. I pull back, looking into his eyes. “Your grandmother asked me to change her long ago but I was too afraid. I let my own feelings get in the way of what she wanted. I shouldn’t have just said no. I should have listened to my mate like you did. I’m proud of you Ruby. You are going to be one hell of an Alpha.” Now the tears are flowing for a different reason. I bury my head in his chest, breathing in his scent.

“Hey where are my hugs,” I hear from behind me and I nearly knock my grandfather over trying to get to Maverick. “You’re awake, thank the goddess” I say as I wrap myself around him. He runs his fingers through my hair and the sparks that were always there are even stronger now. I look up into his beautiful eyes and when they turn black my heart squeezes in my chest. “It worked, you have a wolf.” “I do and he is dying to meet his mate.” He pulls my lips to his and in this moment, we are the only two people that exist. I pull back and press my forehead to his. “I love you, Maverick.” “I love you more, Ruby. You are mine and I am yours forever.” The beeping of a machine gets our attention and I look

over to see a panicked Autumn. “Why is his heart rate so high and he is sweating? He wasn’t doing that a few minutes ago.” I release Maverick and link the doctor. He returns within seconds and Autumn is holding onto Connor like he is going to disappear. Goddess, please don’t let anything happen to Connor.
