58 Accept Him
Pheobe POV
We appear in front of the mansion that I hoped I would never see again. A mansion that held fear and
pain for a long time. I hope that all that is behind us now and it will be a place of happiness. Michael
lays a kiss on my forehead and I smile. I’m just about to ask him about what happened earlier when the
others appear. The mansion door opens and coven members begin to file out. Some look concerned
and others look relieved. Leland looks at me and I nod. Leland and my mother are the coven leaders
and he needs to make that clear today. He takes my mother’s hand and faces the coven members.
“Lucas Williams is no more. As decreed by Pheobe Williams, I, Leland Stone, with my beloved Teresa
Stone are now the coven leaders.” I hear gasps from the coven as they look at my mother. I haven’t
seen the smile my mother is wearing since Lucas took my father from us. “This coven will be at peace
and all of its members will be one. We are no longer two covens joined by evil force. We are one
coven, the Blue Rose Coven. If any of you don’t agree, now is your time to speak.” I look around and
honestly, I’m in shock. Every witch and warlock bows in respect. They show their magical signature
before their new leaders and they are all light.
“We will be meeting with each of you to discuss your ranks and roles in the coven going forward” my
mother says. They all stand nodding their agreement. “Thank you for your loyalty to the coven and to
us. You are all dismissed”, Leland says. After a few minutes, the courtyard is empty. My mother walks
over to me and wraps her arms around me. “Thank you for being so strong and good, Pheobe. You are
the best thing I have ever done. If your father was alive, he would be as proud as I am of you.” I can
feel the tears as they run down my cheeks, landing on her shoulder. I open my mind, allowing my
mother to hear my thoughts. All these years, I really believed that my mother loved Lucas more than
me. That I was a disappointment because I wasn’t a fierce black magic witch. “I have always loved you
and I have always been proud of you. You were never meant to be black magic. I knew that the
moment you were born. Fierce doesn’t even begin to describe you sweetheart”, she whispers in my
ear. I pull back and she wipes the tears from my eyes. “I love you, Pheobe.” “I love you, mom.” When
she steps back, Leland looks to Michael for permission. He nods and Leland wraps me in a hug.
“Thank you, Pheobe for being so strong.” “You don’t need to thank me, just take good care of my
mother and treat her as an equal.” “I always will.”
Leland is a good and honorable man. I’m glad the goddess has given my mother her second chance at
happiness with him. He pulls back and I see panic flash across his face. “Lance” he says, before he
rushes inside the mansion. He heads downstairs to the cells first. We all follow closely behind him.
When we reach the cells, Leland begins to go cell to cell. Michael joins him while my mother and I
stand near the stairs. I don’t feel Lance’s magic, but I remain hopeful. I pray that my brother did not kill
Lance. A meow brings me out of my thoughts. I turn and a beautiful white cat is sitting on the stairs. I
pick her up, holding her in my arms. That’s when I realize that she is really a he. I rub my hand down
his head and he purrs at my touch. He snuggles into my arms and looks up at me with beautiful blue
eyes. “You’re a beautiful cat.” He jumps out of my arms and heads upstairs. I turn back and Leland is
heading back toward us. “He isn’t here. What if he” my mother stops his words by taking his hand.
“Don’t think like that. Let’s go look through all the rooms in the mansion. Hopefully he has him in one of
the rooms.” Michael joins us and we start back upstairs. We begin on the first floor, going room to
room. We reach the floor that I shared with Lucas and my mother.
We walk into Lucas’s room and memories of what he did to Iris come rushing back. I hate this room
and that little room he kept her in. We start back out of the room and I make sure I’m last to leave. I
turn back, waving my arms until nothing is left but an empty room. A fresh start for whatever the future
holds for this space. I smile and follow them to my mother’s old room and then to mine. I’m starting to
lose hope that Lance is still alive. My brother was a monster and would think nothing of going back on
the deal he made with Leland. We head down to the floor that Leland shared with Lance. Lucas
allowed Leland to keep his brother close. Probably one of the only kindnesses I ever saw from my
brother. We head into Lance’s room first. There is no sign of him and I can see that Leland is losing
hope. We head toward the last room, which is Leland’s, and the door is open. I say a prayer to the
goddess that Lucas has him in here under some spell I can easily remove. Leland pushes the door and
his face immediately falls. We all know that Lance isn’t there just by his look. Leland walks in and I’m
shocked to see the white cat from earlier sitting on the bed. Leland plops down defeated and the cat
jumps onto his lap.
Maureen POV
He is so close I can feel his breath on my skin. It’s making it hard to focus on what I need to say. His
scent is invading my nostrils. Clarice is practically in heat as she tries to push to the surface. I tamper
down her lust so I can focus. “You better accept our mate, he was made for us.” I ignore her and I feel
him slide his hand into mine. “I meant what I said Maureen. You are my beloved and I will protect and
love you for the rest of my life.” “I’m sure you have already figured out that I don’t come alone John.”
He smiles “I will love that little girl like she is my own flesh and blood.” “My mother” I say as a joke but
he shocks me. “Your mother is my family now and I know that she is protecting her daughter when she
is harsh.” I smile at his words. Every part of me wants to believe him and accept this bond. Losing my
first mate almost killed me. “What if” I start to say to Clarice in my mind. “No way, you will not live in the
land of what if. That is not living Maureen. It is time to give him our love and to let him love us.” He
clears his throat and when I look at him, he is smiling like he knows a secret.
“You’re talking to your wolf” he says and I nod. “What is her name?” Clarice is preening like a peacock
in my mind. I roll my eyes and laugh. “Her name is Clarice and she can’t wait to meet you.” For the first
time he looks sad. I squeeze his hand. “what’s wrong John?” “I’m sure she wishes that I had a wolf but
I can’t let you go.” Before he can say another word, I reach up yanking him down until our lips crash
together. The warmth and tingles from the kiss move down my body and I feel my knees go weak. He
wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me against him. Am I really doing this right now? “Hell, yes
you are. Stop worrying and accept our mate” Clarice growls. I pull back when we are both breathless. I
walk over to the door. “Maureen where” he says. I open it and my mother is standing there. “Go, I’ll take
care of Penny.” I rush in, kissing her cheek before I go back out to John, who looks like he won the
lottery. I offer him my hand and he takes it, leading me down the stairs and up the path. I have
butterflies in my stomach. I was only ever with Timothy. I catch John staring at me several times as we
walk and it makes me smile.
As we reach the porch, I notice that a woman is sitting on a chair. “Who the f**k is that” Clarice growls. I
don’t answer her. I just tighten my grip on John’s hand. He must finally notice the girl. He stiffens for a
moment but says nothing. He stops at the bottom of the stairs and the woman looks at our joined
hands. “What’s up Clarissa,” he says rather coldly. I’m sure he knows this woman in a way I wish he
didn’t based on his behavior. “I just wanted to check on you John. I heard about the warlocks coming
and the battle. Are you alright?” “I’m better than alright.” He turns to me “this is my beloved Maureen.” I
see a look flash across her face but it’s gone as quickly as it came. She walks toward me sticking out
her hand. “My name is Clarissa, I’m a friend of John’s. It’s very nice to meet you. Congratulations on
finding your mate.” “Thank you, Clarissa.” “Well, I guess I should be going. I’ll see you both around, I’m
sure.” John nods and I follow him up the stairs into the cottage.
John POV
As soon as I see Clarissa sitting on the porch, Lily’s words play over in my head. After everything, I
could lose my beloved over being an i***t. Once Clarissa’s gone, I lead Maureen up the stairs into the
cottage. I close the door and before I can explain myself, Maureen attacks my lips. I give into the kiss
for a few minutes before I pull back. She looks confused, but I need to be truthful with her. I don’t want
secrets between us. “Maureen, Clarissa and I” she raises her hand to stop me. “John, will you ever
touch another woman?” I look at her like she has ten heads. “Not as long as I live. You are the only
woman I will ever touch.” “Even though I hate the thought of any woman touching you, I can’t hold the
past against you.” The relief that washes over me is tremendous. I lift her off her feet and carry her
bridal style to the bedroom. When we get inside, I set her on her feet. “I don’t want you to feel rushed,
so if you’re not ready for us to mate I can wait.” “John, I want you to make me yours.” She doesn’t have
to say that twice. “First, I, John Liam Bloom, accept you, Maureen Elizabeth Mane as my beloved and
mate.” She smiles “I, Maureen Elizabeth Mane, accept you John Liam Bloom, as my mate and
beloved.” I kiss her softly before I pull the shirt over my head and her eyes rake down my chest.
She lays her hands against my chest and the heat under her finger tips goes right to my groin. The kiss
we shared on the porch was unlike anything I have ever felt before. I reach down, gripping her shirt and
pulling it over her head. Her bare breasts are on display and I cup them in my hands. As I begin to
knead them, she lets out a little moan. I can feel my member growing just from touching her. I need to
get myself under control so I don’t embarrass myself. I lift her, laying her down in the middle of the bed.
I step back pulling off my pants and boxer briefs, freeing my er*ction. I look at her face and she is biting
her lip as she stares at me. It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen to see my beloved lying on my bed
naked from the waist up biting her lip. I bend down, gripping her pants and sliding them down her
perfect legs. I climb on the bed, kissing her legs until I reach her core. I look into her eyes as I take a
long lick into her core. Her taste on my tongue is amazing. I plan to do this to her every day for the rest
of our lives. I’m relentless as I swirl my tongue around her cl*t. She threads her hand into my hair, using
me for her pleasure. It’s so hot and I want desperately to be inside her. To mark her as mine. I bite
down on her cl*t sending her over the edge. She screams out my name and I can’t hold back anymore.
I climb the rest of the way up her body until we are face to face. I can feel my er*ction touching her
core. I press my lips to hers as I press forward into her body. Her core wraps around my c**k and there
aren’t even words to describe how good this feels right now. I start to rock my hips and she grips my
a** pulling me into her. I don’t know how long I will last with how good feels right now. I want her to c*m
again and I pick up the pace. I place my hand on her marking spot and pass my magic to her. When
the glow starts, she screams out her orgasm. Her core begins to milk my c**k and I start to empty my
seed inside her. She pulls me down and at first I feel a pinch of pain, but then the pleasure that
consumes my whole body is life-affirming. The bond is complete and I feel whole. She pulls back and
licks the spot she just marked. Once we both come down from our orgasms, I roll off pulling her into my
side. “You are mine and I am yours in this life and the next.” “We are one and we always will be John.”
She presses soft kiss to my lips before she falls asleep with her head on my chest.
