me with a loving smile spread across his face.
“Oh baby girl you’re stunning, I think you’ve beaten your mother in the looks department,”
my mother lightly slaps my father on the chest and he chuckles.
“You’re going to make your mates pass out; they’re both getting very anxious to see you.”
“Oh stop it; I’m sure Caleb and Samuel will be fine. Elizabeth will have them stumbling over a
few words I’m sure but passing out, that’s your job, Roman,” my mother snickers. My father
grumbles, mentioning that everyone is waiting for us at the Jackson’s and leaves the room.
“Mom did dad really faint at your ceremony?” my mother nods her head and chuckles.
“He sure did, poor guy. Your grandparents never did let him live it down.”
Roman left here a few minutes ago to let Elizabeth, know we’re ready, I can’t believe tonight
is the night, she’ll be ours forever, I can’t even think of anything else right now, all I can think of is her walking towards us in her dress.
I never thought I would be standing here on a makeshift altar, with another man who also
shares my mate. If you would have told me years ago, that I would be sharing my mate with another
man, I would have laughed right in your face, but today I wouldn’t change it. It all fits somehow, all three of us. I don’t find Caleb in the less bit attractive, but him being there for Elizabeth, knowing she’s satisfied is more than anything I ever wanted, a happy mate.

There are some friends of mine from the vampire coven I was in, here tonight to celebrate
my union to Elizabeth. They were warned to behave. Sedgwick is my oldest friend, he wanted to
leave the coven with me when he found out I was leaving. He protested it to the coven and they
denied his claim because he was needed there. He’s one of the elders’ son’s; he’s pretty much like
royalty you can say. Seeing him here tonight brings many fawn memories of us in our younger days.
Of course, he is much older than I, but we just clicked when we met, we’ve been best friends ever
since.
I can’t wait for Elizabeth to meet him after the ceremony. I’m sure she’s going to adore him;
he’ll be staying in town for a bit. He mentioned he needs to get away from the coven for a little
while. His father, Ivan is pressuring him to mate with Ivy De-Latour, another elder’s daughter. His
father can be very demanding; I can only imagine how Sedgwick’s feeling right now, he was always a
free spirit type, not wanting to be tied down type of guy. The music starts to slowly play in the
background.
She’s on her way, my mate, my soul.
Maverick has been serendipitous since we woke up this morning, I barely got a wink of
sleep, but I’m more energized than anything at this moment, knowing that soon she’ll be walking
down towards us. My uncle’s here with some of my cousin’s, it’s great to see them, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, for them to head down here to the mating ceremony means a lot to me, I want
all my family to be here to celebrate with us.
My cousin Noah seems to be warming up to Kelly, and every once in a while you hear a bear
snarl. I hope we don’t have any problems today because I’m not going to let some asshole bear ruin
the ceremony. I heard about what that bear did to Kelly, and she doesn’t deserve that, she deserves
a guy that’ll be there for her and treat her right, and what I was told about this bear is that he’s doing everything but that.
I close my eyes and a flash of Elizabeth being pregnant with my pup pops into my mind. I
can’t wait to start that part of our lives. It’ll be amazing, having pups running around; I never did ask Samuel if he’s able to have children. I guess, we’ll be having this little talk later at home, just the three of us. I’m snapped out of my thoughts when I hear the music start playing in the background.
She’s almost here, our mate, our forever.

Chapter 19
The sound of the drums lightly playing has my heart pumping and the butterflies fluttering in
my stomach as we slowly make our way to the opening of the makeshift aisle. It’s finally here, the
time for my father and mother to walk me down the aisle to my mates. It’s crazy to think that at the beginning, I didn’t care about having a mate and now here I am going to be mated to both of mine.
I lift my head high as we walk down the aisle, everyone’s smiling; making my way towards
my mates; Caleb and Samuel are standing with Alpha Darren at the altar with huge smiles on their
faces and their eyes twinkling staring at me in awe. Well, they haven’t fainted yet, I must have said that out loud because of my father, he lightly chuckles and my mother giggles.
Before I know it we’re standing in front of my mates who are looking at me with so much
love in their eyes while they stare down at me, taking in the dress and hair, both of them looking at each other then back down to me both of them giving a crooked grin.
“Roman and Sarah, do you give your blessing for Caleb and Samuel to mate with your
daughter?” Alpha Darren asks loudly for everyone to hear, both of my parent’s nod.
“Yes, her mother and I give our blessing,” my father says, with his voice strong and firm.
My father takes my hand and my mother does the same with the other, both of them
placing my hands in my mates. They both kiss me on the cheek, and they walk down to their seats.
Once they’re in their seats, my father takes my mother’s hand holding it on his lap; I can tell he’s trying to play it cool. I know for a fact he’s trying his hardest not to cry, my mother on the other hand well, she has tears running down her face, giving both of my parents a warm smile, I turn back to my mates.
Caleb and Samuel, both whisper how gorgeous I look in my ear, I blush beet red, Alpha
Darren clears his throat looking at me with a smile, he for sure heard both Samuel and Caleb,
blushing even more, I look down at my feet, I feel everyone staring. Oh God, there’s a lot of people here tonight.
“Welcome everyone, were here tonight to join Elizabeth, Samuel, and Caleb in the mating
ritual, that will bond them together,” Darren says his voice carrying through the rows of people.
“Caleb, can you please say your vows to Elizabeth,” Caleb nods he takes a deep breath.
R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’
“In the name of the moon goddess, I, Caleb Jackson, take you, Elizabeth Mason, to be my
mate, to protect you and to love you as a mate should, to cherish you for all the days of my life. This is my solemn vow as your mate.” His voice giving me chills as he speaks those loving vows, his eyes
are sparkling when he looks at me adoringly.
“Now, Elizabeth. It is your true to announce your vows to, Caleb,” Darren nods for me to
begin.
“In the name of the moon goddess, I, Elizabeth Mason, take you, Caleb Jackson, to be my
mate and alpha, to protect you and to love you as a mate should, to cherish you for all the days of
my life, to be an alpha female worthy of this pack, and to bear your pups. This is my solemn vow as
your mate.” I swear as soon as the word pups leave my mouth, Caleb perks up, giving a tiny growl
only myself, Samuel and Darren can hear. Samuel chuckles, while Darren’s eyes widen.
“Now, Samuel,” Samuel smiles squeezing my hand with his softly.
“I, Samuel Vega, take you, Elizabeth Maso
n, to be my wolf mate, to shield you from the dark
and enemies with my flesh. To live out my days as the best mate I can be. With my blood, we will be
joined together as one.” Darren hands Samuel a dagger that looks very old, he places a cup under
Samuel’s hand, he slices his hand and the blood flows out from it the cut into the cup. The cup is
handed to me to drink, bringing the cup up to my lips, I can’t stop the moan that leaves my throat as I swallow my mate’s blood, his blood bonding with mine.
Darren then hands me the daggers and I repeat the same, “I, Elizabeth Mason, take you,
Samuel Vega, to be my vampire mate, to shield you from the light of day with my flesh. To live out
my days as the best mate I can be. With my blood, we will be joined together as one.”
Once Samuel finishes drinking from the cup, licking his lips, his eyes black as night as he
stares down at me with a lust filled gaze.
“Now, you are joined. You both may kiss your mate,” Darren says and both Caleb and
Samuel smile, Samuel kisses my lips first, and then Caleb. After we pull apart and turn towards the
group of pack mates and friends, they all cheer.
“Give a cheer for your next Alpha, Caleb and his mate Elizabeth and Samuel,” Darren shouts
and the howls that break through the skies, give me goose bumps, closing my eyes then reopening
them, my parents are cheering with huge smiles on their faces, everyone is up on their feet, clapping and whistling at us.
Caleb and Samuel both of them taking my hand, helping me down the steps of the altar and
we begin walking towards the tent, there’s tons of food prepared. When we get in the tent I’m really blown away with the decorations, they’re beautiful. The tables are lined up outside the tent for
everyone to sit, eat and talk. I couldn’t have pictured a better ceremony, with my friends and family here, and I’m meeting new people.
R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’
Samuel leans down and whispers softly in my ear, “I have a friend of mine I would like you to
meet after,” smiling at him, I nod. Of course, I want to meet his friends, anyone that has known him longer than me, and for them to be here tonight with us; they must be an important part of his life.
My mother and father walk over to us, congratulating us. My mother hugs me tighter than
ever before, then she pulls me aside, “Elizabeth, I know you don’t want to talk about this with me,
but I just wanted to know if you have any questions about how the mating… how it’s supposed to
go?” I swear my cheeks are red like cooked lobsters, oh my God.
“Ummm… I think I know all I need to for that mom, thank you,” she nods, my father comes
up and hugs me next, then Tori and Kelly squealing, they both jump and attack me with their hugs.
“Kelly, is everything okay? He hasn’t done anything?” I ask, she shakes her head, she looks
around quick, and she sees her mate with who I’m guessing is the woman Kelly saw him with the
previous day, she makes a face then looks back to me.
“No, all he has been doing is a lot of growling here and there, but that is in the past. Time to
move on.” She mentions just like that like she’s over and done with the whole situation. I have a
feeling we’re going to be hearing more about this soon, especially if things really kick off with Noah and her.
“How’s Noah treating you tonight?” she blushes and bites her lip, tucking a loose strand of
hair behind her ear that’s fallen on her face.
“Yes, he’s amazing. I would’ve liked it, if he was my true mate and not that grumpy ass
bear,” she hisses out, and I chuckle. Well, you can’t pick who your mate is, sometimes it’s like boom love and all the fuzzies and then there are cases like Kelly’s, where the mate rejects the other, I
would never wish that on my worst enemy.
“What is your mates’ name? You never mentioned it before,” she sighs and turns around
and we come face to face with the mountain of a man.
“Isaac.” She says nodding and turns around fast to leave, but he catches her arm.
“Let me go,” she growls and not in a playful type of growl either.
He sighs looking down at her like he’s wishing things could be different almost, “Kelly…” that
is all he gets a chance to say before the woman he was with show up, dropping Kelly’s arm he backs
away. Noah comes up behind Kelly; he puts his hands on her arms and smiles down at her. Isaac
growls and walks away, well, that was interesting, to say the least.
Kelly and Noah go and grab some food, leaving me standing there looking around at
everyone. This is what a pack feels like; I’ve been alone with my parents for so long, that I never
really knew it could feel like this, one big family, tears spring to the corner of my eyes. Samuel is
R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’
beside me quick, “Everything okay, my little gem,” he asks softly, his eyes etched with worry as he
looks me over.
“Yes, I’m fine. I’m just happy,” he smiles liking my answer; he pulls me to him placing a kiss
on my forehead.
“You ready to meet that friend of mine I told you about?” he asks, I nod, we walk over to a
small group of vampires. I’m nervous as hell because I’ve never been around vampires besides
Samuel and the bitch Victoria, and that didn’t turn out so well.
“Sedgwick,” Samuel calls to the group, the group parts away and in the middle of the group
a handsome man steps through and walks over to us with a beaming smile on his face.
“Samuel, this must be the lovely Elizabeth,” he says grabbing my hand, placing a kiss on the
back of my hand, Samuel, lightly shoves Sedgwick.
“Watch it, Sedgwick, I might know you but her other mate doesn’t,” and on cue Caleb walks
up growling at Sedgwick. His hands go in the arm, holding them in surrender as he winks at me. Oh
boy, this guy is a hand full. I put my hands on Caleb’s chest, and he calms.
“Caleb, this is Sedgwick, a good friend of Samuel’s,” hopefully with this being said he realizes
that there’s no threat. Caleb nods at Sedgwick then pulls me closer to him, holding me tight against him, Samuel chuckles, shaking his head. Well, I guess he’s making sure Sedgwick doesn’t get any
ideas. I can’t help myself but chuckle leaning back into Caleb.
I’m talking to my mother and a few other pack members as I look around to see where Caleb
and Samuel went off to, I finally see where they are and they’re standing there talking with my
father. They seem to be having a rather intense conversation from the looks of it.
“Mom, I’ll talk to you later. I’m going to save my mates from dad,” my mother smiles and
nods, she continues her story to a few of the woman from the pack.
My father leaves Caleb and Samuel and walks over to Alpha Darren and a couple of the male
members of the pack, he grabs a beer from the cooler and starts chatting with them. I make my way
over to my poor mates; I can only imagine what my father was talking to them about.
“Is everything alright, Caleb, Samuel?” I ask, they both smile and nod.
R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’
“Yes, everything is fine my little gem, your father was just making sure that we don’t
pressure you into anything,” Samuel says, Caleb bringing the beer bottle to his lips, he takes a sip, nodding his head. Well, that’s awkward.
�
��Oh, and your father mentioned that if we ever do anything to hurt you, that he’ll hunt us
down and skin us alive,” Caleb adds chuckling, my eyes widen.
“Don’t worry, we know your father loves you very much, and wants the best for you,”
Samuel assures me rubbing my arm lightly, leaning my head back smiling at him. He’s so
understanding, warms my heart. I step on my tippy toes, placing a kiss to his perfect lips.
“Are you ready to head to our house? Or did you want to stay here for a little longer?”
Samuel looks at me for confirmation.
“Oh, I’m ready to leave, we’ve been here long enough to say hi to everyone,” Caleb and
Samuel chuckle, Caleb finishes his beer and sets it down on a table, and we head into the tent.
We begin saying our goodbyes to everyone, my mother asking if I’m sure about not wanting
to know, Oh God, will we ever be able to get out of here. I reassure her, that I’m fine for the fifth time of the night. My parents hug me, Caleb’s parents hug him. We walk towards Caleb’s truck, we
hop in and we head to our house.
Our house, I like the sounds of that.
It takes about ten minutes to get to our house from the Jackson’s, pulling up it’s even more
beautiful then I remembered. Caleb gets out the truck walking around to my side opening the door
for me; Samuel gets out from the back and smiles at me.
“Are you nervous, my little gem?” his voice sending tingling feelings down my body, shaking
my head.
“No, I can’t wait to get you both alone, and there’s nothing stopping us this time,” my voice
coming out more husky than I intend, both Samuel and Caleb groan. I squeal when I feel myself
being lifted off the ground, Samuel winks at me and he runs to the front door with me in his arms,
Caleb right behind him, Caleb walks in front of us and unlocks the door. He brings me upstairs to the bedroom that we’ll be sharing. I giggle when he places me on the bed; Caleb comes through the
door, closing it over a bit. The looks in their eyes is primal like I’m their prey, and they’re ready to pounce.
“Are you ready for a night of your life, my mate,” Caleb purrs lifting his shirt up and off of his
