Chapter: Chapter 27I sunk down into the seat trying to disappear. A few seconds of admiring my bear and we had destroyed the car. I lost my temper in the kitchen and had torn it apart. Now with everyone arguing I just wanted to run away. I’ve caused nothing but problems since I arrived, at what point will they stop tolerating me. Sarah’s laugh, big and booming. Made me peak my head up over what remained of the seat. She swatted at Alpha Colton’s head playfully. “Nearly took that oversized head of yours clean off.” She laughed deep from her belly. “You’re one to talk!” Alpha Colton curled himself up and rolled on the ground like a ball. “You bailed out of the car before it could stop moving. Thought you were just going to keep rolling, all the way to town. You could have beat us there.” As I sat and listened, they weren’t yelling at all. In fact they were giving each other a rash of shit over who jumped out of the car first when I started to turn. I quietly slide out of the car. Wishing one of my s

Chapter: Chapter 26Feeling Laila growing weaker, I still couldn’t help but procrastinate getting ready. Sarah insisted we hurry, the beasts within me unable to be contained by me alone. Secretly I didn’t want to contain them anymore. I could feel each of them now. The strong and powerful bear watching over me protectively. The mischievous and flirtatious tiger, with a borderline obsession with Alpha Colton. Lastly my poor wolf, her spirit broken by Blaine’s rejection, her heart aching for her mates acceptance. They did nothing to fill the void of Laila’s absence. Begrudgingly I picked up the pace and found myself downstairs moments later. Standing before Alpha Colton and Beat Lucas, I felt uncomfortably underdressed. Alpha Colton wearing a three piece light blueish grey suit, Beta Lucas in a two piece black suit. Alpha Colton opened the front door, leading the way out to the car. Beta Lucas stood with his arm stretched out signaling for me to follow. “You’re both going?” I asked. Alpha Colton

Chapter: Chapter 25 “You hunted me.” I said questioningly under my breath. “What?” Alpha Colton asked. The distance between us enough my whisper couldn’t be heard by them. “You hunted me.” I repeated. My forehead scrunched and my eyes narrowed. My hands started shacking, wanting Laila here as I could feel myself becoming overwhelmed. “It’s not like that.” Beta Lucas said quickly. His hands waving back and forth in front of him. “You hunted me!” I growled. I could feel my words vibrating in my chest. “You hunted me down and bound me to you.” A burning rage building inside me. Molten lava filling my heart and rolling through my veins. When I looked up at Alpha Colton through my eyebrows he immediately sat back. Both him and Beta Lucas with their backs now pressed firmly against the back of their chairs. “No…” Alpha Colton began to speak again but before he could finish his sentence a deep roar left me. Grabbing the edge of the counter top with both hands I ripped the large granite slab from t

Chapter: Chapter 24My legs gave out on me, Beta Lucas held onto me making sure I didn’t fall. My vomit covered the front of his shirt. My skin was hot and clammy, sweat rolled down my face. “Her name was Beth.” He said quietly. I felt completely bonded to him, I knew him as well as I knew myself but I didn’t understand why he lied. “You and Willow said you hadn’t found your mates.” I said trying to catch my breath. “If Willow knew my mate was dead, she might give up her chance to find hers.” He paused for a long time while I regained my bearings. “I love Willow too much to take that away from her. I’ve always wanted her to be happy, even if that wasn’t with me.” He paused. “Promise you won’t tell her?” I could feel his love for her, how deeply it ran. I had never felt that way about another person and begrudgingly agreed not to say anything to her. We parted ways, returning to our rooms to shower once more. I was startled by a soft knocking on the bathroom door, which I had left open but I w

Chapter: Chapter 23Neither Alpha Colton or Beta Lucas moved, both seemingly frozen in time. Laila on the other hand was making a big show of trying to get back on her feet after plopping down, I couldn’t help but laugh and she rolled and grunted. Trying to roll her furry fat bear ass over. “You better stop laughing at me or I’ll leave you naked in front of these two. You prude litte weirdo, you’d die of embarrassment.” She grunted. “I was just in bed with both of them and Willow, at this point I’m pretty sure the cats out of the bag and they’ve seen it all.” I chuckled. Laila stopped rolling, stretching out flat on her back. “Wait there was a four way, where was I.” I debated on lying to her and making up some things that happened but decided against it. “You were sleeping, and it wasn’t like that. They were all in our bed watching over us. We almost died and they made a whole thing out of it.” “Go back. What do you mean we almost died?” She asked. I could feel her grip slipping and our for

Chapter: Chapter 22If it was possible, fire would be coming out Alpha Colton’s nostrils right now. Standing up straight, his hands balled up into fists, his eyes narrowed and his nostrils flared. “That asshole is just full of bad decisions this week isn’t he.” He said under his breath. Turning on his heals, he stormed off out the door. I nearly fell as I tripped over the shower ledge, grabbing a towel I frantically chased after him. My short legs moving at cricket speed trying to keep up with his long strides. Alpha Colton took huge long breaths, growling every time he exhaled. “Great, you got Beta Lucas murdered. Way to go blabber mouth.” Laila teased. “Not now Laila, this is all your fault.” I snapped. “How is this my fault? He bit me! He bit us. How the hell was I supposed to know it would turn his dick into stone.” She laughed loudly to herself. “Maybe I’m like Medusa, but only for the penis.” She said, now laughing uncontrollably. “I hate you.” I mumbled at her under my breath. Just

Chapter: Chapter 59POV Juxes We combed through the bunker like robbers looking for valuables. Grabbing one book and skimming through it before tossing it aside and grabbing the next. The pile of books growing by the minute. Candice stopping as she was walking in. “Miss Evens would be so pissed. She’s going to haunt us all for this mess.” She giggled. “Her ghost will just have to wait and maybe she would understand. She did always have a soft spot for Eric and Thea.” Nicolas said with a shrug. “Do you think she knew they were mates?” Thomas asked. “It’s doubtful.” I grumbled, waving my hand at them implying they need to get back at it. Thomas still walking around with a piece of jerky hanging out of his mouth. I swear he’s eaten half his body weight by now. Was taking small vials off one of the book cases and smelling each one, then reading the label. His hand bumped a small glass vial with a glass cork holding in its contents. As the black tar like substance oozed out of the jar, Thomas threw

Chapter: Chapter 58POV Eric Braxton slammed forward taking control in an instant. His large hands almost crushing the vial before dropping it onto the bed. Eyes scanning the room as he in hailed deeply. His nose scrunching with each large sniff. Thea’s scent still lingered heavily throughout the room, he rolled his shoulders popping the vertebrae between his shoulder blades as the scent of vampire blood burned his nostrils. Turning his head to the side and scrunching his face as a small whiff of something almost Krissy but not quite came through. Only realizing now that I had caught the scent in the courtyard. I remembered the huddle of Lycans there. I reminded him to pick up the vial before leaving the room. “No!” He said plainly, turning to leave. “Must I remind you, the King will cut off parts of us we are fairly attached to should it be misplaced.” I told him. “I won’t give it to her.” He growled. “I’m not saying we do, I’m just saying we can’t leave it here.” I pleaded. With a gr

Chapter: Chapter 57POV Thea Eyes closed, my limbs feeling heavy. The sound of a child’s laughter came to me in the distance. Like a tv had been left on in another room, I could hear it but couldn’t quite make out the words. A sharp scent hit my nose making me gag and my eyes jolt open. Krissy sat on my chest making it hard to breathe. Her face inches from mine. Her black eyes swirling with hints of every color. “You can’t sleep now.” She whispered. A low growl rumbled in her chest as she spoke. Her voice not quite her own. Moving my head back I tried to move far enough away for my eyes to focus. I could hear the sound of one of her claws elongating before cutting into the skin on my collar bone. “Ow, what the fuck Krissy.” I hissed bringing my hand up to check the bleeding. She leaned back putting her full weight on my stomach. Raising her hand to her mouth she licked the blood from her nail. A mischievous crooked grin slowly forming on her face. Watching in amazement as her swirling black

Chapter: Chapter 56POV Eric Nervously leading Thea into my quarters, I placed the books down on my small table. I would show her around but there wasn’t much to see. A king sized bed with a small metal frame, an oversized chair and a reading nook by the window made up the entirety of my world here. She yawned heavily, the sedative I had put in her food beginning to take effect. “It doesn’t look like much but it’s very comfortable.” I told her, patting the bed. She was hesitant at first I moved away from the bed giving her some space. She yawned again. “I don’t know why I’m so tired all of a sudden.” She said sleepily. As she yawned the third time I knew she was fighting sleep, no doubt uneasy with being in my room. I needed her out and soon, Francis was pushing hard to get the serum in her. I understood once she had her powers it would be harder to make her stay but I wanted so badly to not have to make her. Why Francis was so insistent she take it was beyond me. She’s the Lunar wolf, a perfect b

Chapter: Chapter 55POV Juxes The lights clicked on eliminating the bunker. The layout was interesting but not surprising, taking on the appearance of mansion style formal sitting room. The entrance had been hidden from us but Miss Evens had obviously spent a large portion of her time here. Not a speck of dust could be found and everything was neatly in its place. The only thing not where it belongs was a blueprint laying across one of the chairs. The corner had an address, totaling 10 pages spanning 200 years. It was the same building but each page illustrated a addition of some sort. We spread out looking for anything useful. I tried making sense of the blueprints but couldn’t understand most of it. For the first time I reached out for Aiden, he knew more about this than I did and I now regretted not paying attention when he had plans drawn up for the ski lodge. Nicolas found his way to one of the many bookcases. Running his hands over the rows he shuttered. “Are all these books made of skin?”

Chapter: Chapter 54POV Thea The first book he handed me looked very old, the pages were mismatched and you could tell it had been repaired in one way or another several times. “This is Francis’s journal, he wrote down everything he remembers happening. He started right after he built the main building here. To keep record of what happened before. It only seemed right considering Alabaster had begun writing his own version of how it all started.” He said with a sort. “Was he there?” I asked. “Alabaster? No, he was human. Joan’s mate and when they took off, him and Joan started making up their own version of the beginning.” Eric said. Flipping through the pages he found what he was looking for and stopped. Tapping his finger on the page. “We were told that Abigail refused the spirits deal. That she wouldn’t sacrifice a child to have one of her own.” “Her husband did.” I stated. “No! She wouldn’t sacrifice a child from her tribe. She made a deal with Francis, one of his tribes children and in r
