Chapter 62 - The Night Before

It was the night before the full moon. Everyone in White Raven Pack was ready for the fight. They were all resting and spending time with their loved ones knowing that some of them may not survive.

Kaleigh, Dominick, and the twins were in the nursery with the Alpha, Luna, and Felicia. The twins were getting bigger and a lot more entertaining. The adults couldn't get enough of their cuteness and passed them around so each could give them cuddles.

Kaleigh was nervous about Jasmine and Brandie's role in the fight tomorrow night, but she knew it was the only way they could win. She was holding Jasmine and looking into her sweet face. Kaleigh felt her heart fill with overwhelming love for her daughters.

Dominick was holding Brandie feeling the same as Kaleigh. He still couldn't believe that these two little beauties were his daughters. They were such well-behaved pups and already sleeping through the night. Dominick was scared for them, knowing he would be fighting while the females in his family had the hardest job.

"Dominick, Kaleigh, I wanted to talk to you before tomorrow." Alpha Dillon looked at his wife, and she gave him a small smile.

"Okay, Dad, what did you want to talk about?" Dominick handed Brandie to Felicia, who couldn't sit still for wanting one of her nieces.

"I've decided that after the fight, I will step down as Alpha and pass it on to you. I know you haven't had your commitment ceremony yet, but I figured we could do it at the same time if you're okay with that. Your mom and I want to enjoy spending time with our grandpups while you take care of the pack. What do you think?" Dillon looked between Dominick and Kaleigh. He knew they could do this. They were both strong leaders already.

"Alright, Dad, we will take over after the fight. We agree that we can also do the commitment ceremony at the same time. I know we're all prepared for tomorrow, but please watch your backs. I have a bad feeling about this fight and Josephine's plans. Her primary focus will be Kaleigh and the twins. With the three of them being the only ones who can eliminate her and the rest of them, it will be our duty to keep the other witches busy, so they don't get distracted. Stick to your groups and your assignments. We don't need any heroes." Dominick said the last part to Felicia, who rolled her eyes at him.

"Dom, do you think I'm an idiot? I'm not doing anything that will risk me not seeing my baby nieces, so stop treating me like a child." Felicia held Brandie to her and kissed her little cheeks. She couldn't get enough of the twins.

"Kaleigh, Celeste, and I will wait for your cue to bring the twins out tomorrow. I know it's necessary for them to be there, but my heart hurts that this all depends on you three." Kaleigh smiled at Alannah.

"Me too, Alannah. I know you and Celeste will keep them safe so we can do our job. If you ever have any doubt that things are getting too unsafe, let me know. We may have to change things up a little." Dominick took Kaleigh's hand and squeezed. His mate was stronger than anyone he knew.

"Okay, everyone, I think we need to get some rest, and I know the girls are tired. We'll see you at breakfast." Dominick stood up and helped up Kaleigh, who was still holding Jasmine. The adults took turns kissing each pup before leaving.

Dominick and Kaleigh walked next door to their bedroom. They both were exhausted but, at the same time, didn't want to go to sleep yet. Dominick took Kaleigh's hand and led her into the bathroom.

"Why don't we take a hot bath, Kaleigh. We need some time just the two of us, and I want to help you relax." Kaleigh smiled at him as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Dom, that sounds great, and I'm sure you have many ways to get me tired." Kaleigh pulled him down to her so she could kiss him. Their tongues fought for control, and their hands were all over each other. Before they knew it, neither of them had clothes on anymore.

Dominick had planned on massaging Kaleigh and washing her in the bathtub before taking her to bed to make love. However, when she kissed him, and he smelled her arousal, everything else went out the window, and all he could think about was having her now.

Kaleigh's need for her mate was so strong she couldn't stand it. She reached down between their bodies and grabbed his stiff cock rubbing it, making it grow even bigger in her hand. Dominick moaned in pleasure at Kaleigh, working him with her hand while they continued kissing.

He reached down between her legs, where she was already dripping wet, and played with her opening. He ran his thumb in circles around her clitoris while pumping his finger inside her. Dominick could feel Kaleigh so close already, but he didn't want her to come yet.

He pulled away from her slightly and lifted her so she could wrap her long legs around him. Dominick slowly entered her as he pushed her against the bathroom wall. Their lips found each other as he made it in as far as he could go.

Dominick started moving with slow thrusts because he didn't want to stop kissing her. Kaleigh wasn't having it; she needed more than what he was doing.

"Dominick, faster, I need you to go faster." Kaleigh was breathless as she held on to him. Dominick didn't need any more begging than that. He started moving faster and faster as she screamed in delight. The sounds of her pleasure were all it took for him to lose control, and he started ramming into her harder.

Kaleigh could barely keep up with Dominick and just held on for the ride. She threw her head back, knowing she was almost there. Dominick could feel Kaleigh's walls clenching around him as they both came together. He wasn't willing to separate from her yet, so he held her in place and returned to her lips.

After a few minutes, Dominick slowly pulled out of Kaleigh and put her back on her feet. He lightly rubbed his hands over her swollen breasts, which were even bigger now from nursing the twins. He was careful, though, because he knew her breasts were tender, but that didn't stop him from enjoying their large size.

"Dom, are you ready to get in the bathtub now, or are you just going to play with my breasts all night? If you do that much longer, I will start leaking milk." Kaleigh cocked her head at him knowing he liked playing with her breasts.

"We can get in the bath, but I wouldn't mind playing with these all night either." Dominick leaned over and kissed Kaleigh before turning around to start the water.

Dominick helped Kaleigh into the bathtub and between his legs so she could lean against him. He loved bathing with her. Feeling her wet skin against his and her bottom rubbing on his cock usually caused them to get dirtier before they got clean.

"Dom, are you worried about tomorrow? I heard what you said about having a bad feeling." Kaleigh rubbed her hands along his legs on either side of her.

"I'm most worried about you and the girls because you'll be facing the worst of the worst. I'm also concerned about the other pack members. I'm afraid they won't be able to fight the black magic, and we may lose some of them. I'll just be glad when this is over so we can get on with our lives. I love you, Kaleigh."

Kaleigh turned around slightly so she could see Dom's face. She didn't like the fear she saw in his eyes.

"I love you too, Dom. We have to have faith that everything will work out. I need to know you're safe while the girls and I do our part. Let's get out of the tub Dom. I want to make love to you until we're too tired to move." Dominick smiled at his mate.

"As you wish, my queen. Who could say no to that?" Dominick got out and then helped Kaleigh out. After they were dry, they went to bed and made love, so many times they lost count. When they finally went to sleep, they were well sated.

Josephine rubbed her hands together in anticipation. She felt like a kid on Christmas morning. Knowing that she would have possession of the sacred stone tomorrow had her extremely excited. Josephine looked to make sure she had everything ready to go for tomorrow.

She thought about the stupid servant who had escaped before she could kill her a couple of weeks ago. Josephine had torn the mansion up looking for Lydia. She had gotten everything ready in her room for her, and she had slipped out without any problem. Josephine knew the human probably would have died, but that was the price some had to pay for being worthless humans.

She vowed if she ever crossed paths with Lydia again, she would make her suffer slowly. Who did she think she was running away from Josephine after she had been kind enough to let her work in the mansion? When the time came, she would die maybe even a more painful death than the Emerald Stone witch. Josephine cackled in delight as she headed to her bedroom.
