“You’ve been trying to take it my whole life haven’t you?” I don’t know why I am surprised by this thought. “Not necessarily. I wanted it before you were born. The prophecy only talks about a child, not the mother.” I gasp. “You came for Lucas? Did you seduce him? Did he cheat on Ava?” “I was
Adrielle doesn’t see them, I hope. I think she is so locked on me and she keeps telling me to give her the magic. I don’t understand what she’s even asking for though. I can’t just hand it over and I really don’t want to. The magic feels like just as big a part of me as my wolf, I wouldn’t give
All my guys shift one at a time around me, moving faster with the strength and speed of their wolves. No one is getting anywhere near me with the three of them standing guard so I start working through my magic. Adrielle has been a step or several ahead of us for far too long. I know the grimoire
I take a deep breath in and I can feel the blue magic swirl around us, bolstering my confidence. Everything feels so much better with the three of them close like this. The flow of magic is less muddy. It’s a fine wisp swirling between the four of us, playful and happy even in this situation. The
I let my wolf unleash her wrath on these morons, she hasn’t been able to fight much today, knowing the magic side of me was needed more to deal with Adrielle. Right now she is living her best life tearing through the wolves who have decided to fight for this useless cause until the end. My mates never stray too far and each of their wolves find mine to rub against us as often as possible as we weed through the rogues. Once we have dispatched all the rogue wolves back to the Goddess, everyone helps to take the bodies to the compound we found outside our pack lands. We set them up in rows and light a pyre. These wolves will get a chance to meet the Goddess and she can decide if they were working of their own accord or if their human was forcing them to go against our kind. We also took the time to search the compound buildings. I’m amazed at what we found. The space must have held hundreds of wolves as farm animals. There are no facilities here at all. No beds, no bathrooms, no
“We would have to be ‘on’ all the time. That’s why mom and dad had the rules about who could be on which floors at the packhouse and keeping the greenhouse completely private. It was so they could have moments away from everyone, even if they were only small bits of time.” Dakota’s tone is just as strained as Oliver’s but they are both trying to reign it in. It makes me smile. “Alright, I just want time alone with you guys, whatever that means.” I say as we pull up. “But first…” I practically jump from the truck before it’s in park as Oliver tries to grab me. I use Sierra running at us as a distraction. She launches herself into my arms, which is a sight, I’m sure. “Oh wow, you and your mates need to go find a dark corner for all of that s*xual tension.” She giggles in my ear making a point to take a deep breath in. I ignore her comment and look at her closely like I should be able to detect a change in her after being apart. “How are you feeling?” She laughs. “Not much differ
It’s been twenty minutes and no one will answer my question. We have talked about all kinds of things, just not our destination. We have talked about finding a time to see Mina, Xander and Oscar and their new pup. Because in all reality we can’t leave until our pack is put back together. We talk
We spend the next several weeks helping everyone get settled and then making plans. Alpha Reggie and Luna Anne came out to help and I couldn’t have been more excited to see anyone. He brought the same contractors that worked on the Castle improvements. We came up with plans and they toured the te
