~Dominic~I stop by Aston’s office before heading to the training field. I have a class waiting for me, and there was a little bit of a scuffle between some green warriors. I need to make sure that the issue doesn’t fester and get worse. It could damage the entire flow of the warriors, which could cause issues throughout the pack. We don’t need any of that. I knock on the door and push it open. It was already ajar, so I hope against hope that they are decent and I won’t walk into something I really don’t want to see. While it may seem obvious that an open door means they are acting like respectable people, I would argue that with Aston and Katarina, that is never necessarily the case. I can’t really be mad, I guess. I mean, they are very much in love with each other. If anyone had told me that they would be together and barely be able to keep their hands off each other, I’d tell them that they were crazy. I never thought I’d see Aston again, and when he came back, I wasn’t convinced

~Jamorea~My eyes fly open, and I look around. I struggle to sit up, confusion settling in my mind. This isn’t what I remember last. I thought I was outside, having walked away from Dominic. I cried, that I remember clearly. He found me and said some heartwarming things. That’s what I remember; that was the last thing I saw.I have no idea how I ended up back here or when. I don’t remember what happened after he gave his little speech. Did I respond? Did I agree to give him a chance? Did I tell him about what happened at the restaurant? The answer to all of those questions is no.What happened, Mona?Our mate calmed us, and you went to sleep. He brought us back here. I can’t say that doesn’t make sense. I would imagine that would be the only thing that would happen given the events of the evening. What are we going to do?What do you mean?You know how I feel, what I want. Be honest with him, and we will help find a way out of this mess. Before I can respond, a knock sounds. I sit up

~Dominic~What the entire fuck is happening right now?! How the hell did we leave the packhouse for our first date and end up with her telling me to reject her? Hell, we didn’t even go through with the date!I feel so lost because I know something happened, but I have no idea what that might be. However, it could be that I’m stupid as hell and the answer is staring me in my face. You are stupid, human! GO AFTER HER!!Gideon’s voice rolls through my body, making my bones shake. I know I need to go after her, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t have a minute to figure my fucking life out. I know that Jamorea isn’t going to go far; she doesn’t even know this area.I get out of the car and look in the direction she took off. I close my eyes and let my senses do the work for me. It doesn’t take long to catch her scent. I let it carry me to where my mate should be.My feet start to move faster as I follow her wonderful scent. The more I move, the stronger it gets. I close my eyes and let Gid

~Dominic~I sit back and take a sip of my water. I’m starting to get a bit worried, but I’m not sure why that is. Didn’t Jamorea simply go use the restroom? What could possibly happen on the way to the restroom? You saw her before she left. Something is off. I will take care of it, Gideon. Let me handle it. He slinks back into my mind, but doesn’t completely leave. Gideon is right, but I don’t want to address it. I did notice that something was off. We were on the same page before, both of us nervous yet excited about our date. It seemed like in the blink of an eye, her entire demeanor changed. It was almost like she saw a ghost or something. Once Jamorea walked away, I scanned the room to see if there was something I missed. I didn’t see anything, so I let it go. Now, I’m sitting here, waiting for her to return. She’s been gone long enough for me to be concerned. Before I can get up and go looking for her, Jamorea comes back to the table. I can honestly say that she looks worse t

~Brackston~The moment I got that call, I knew what I needed to do. I have no idea how this information was found, but I don’t care. There’s no way I was going to stand by and let this be.I hurried into some clean clothes and jumped into the car. I didn’t waste any time barreling out of the pack. The ride to the human city was fast, faster than would be allowed. I wasn’t worried about anyone stopping me. Human laws mean absolutely nothing to me.It didn’t take long to arrive at the restaurant. The moment my door opens, I throw the keys at the valet and hurry inside. “Hello, sir. Can I have your name?” I ignore the host and search the room for what I came for. I spot them toward the back of the room.“I want a table on the right side of the room, along the wall.”“Uh, sir, I nee

~Brackston~I throw another punch at the warrior in front of me. He absorbs the hit, but it’s not even slightly graceful. I motion for him to come at me again, but he looks up from the ground with pain in his eyes. I guess I broke him.I move my head to the side, signaling that he needs to remove himself. This is how it’s been. I’ve been feeling anxious and angry. I’ve come to the training grounds to try to expel this energy, and there’s no one who can keep up with me.I feel unfulfilled, and it bothers me to no end. I know what I want, but I can’t have it right now. If I want my big plan realized, I need to see this through piece by piece. I’ve never been known as a patient man, and that hasn’t changed.I sigh and walk over to my water bottle. I pour water over my head before taking a big drink from the bottle. A throat clears behind me, and irritation immediately sets in. “Uh, sir?”“What?”“You have a phone call.” I turn and snatch my phone out of Teddy’s hand and step to the side.

*Six Months Later*~Houston~“Hey, babe?” I walk down the hallway, searching open rooms as I go. “Love?” I continue down the hall, wondering where this woman is. “Daddy?” I turn to look at Zara. She’s coming out of the bathroom, using the wall to guide her. “Yes, Miss Zara, how can I help you?” Zara smiles and giggles at me. She loves it when I call her that. She says it makes her feel important. “Where’s mommy?” I walk over to Zara and pick her up. She settles against me, her arms wrapped around my neck. “That, my dear, is exactly what I’m trying to find out myself. I haven’t seen her.” I hear the door open ahead of me, and a smile grows on my face. I turn us toward the sound, catching her footsteps as they grow closer. “Hello, my two favorite people.” She kisses Zara on the forehead before turning her lips to me. Alayasia aims for my cheek, but I turn at the last minute so her lips land on mine. I use my free hand and bring her in closer, angling my head to deepen the kiss. I

~Shiloh~I step back in horror and conflict. My heart was in my throat when I thought that Houston was gone. I was grieving for the man I had wanted all my life. I knew he was gone, and my heart couldn’t take it. I rejoiced when I saw that he was still alive, but I was confused as to how that could be possible. Watching Geoffroy die is a lot. I’m not sure what I should do with myself now. Geoffroy was my ticket to getting those two removed from this pack. He was going to take both of them, and all I had to do was figure out who marked my man so I could get rid of her. Now, my chance is lost. I turn around and walk away from the crowd, trying to figure out how I can salvage this mess. The sounds behind me are loud, and they’re keeping me from thinking clearly. I continue to move away from the scene, the sounds thinning out. I find myself closer to the packhouse, but not too far from the crowd that I can’t see what’s going on. I stop in my tracks when I see that Gamma bitch outside.

~Geoffroy~There’s no way, there’s no fucking way! The gasps around me made me feel like I was in a tunnel. Everyone is looking at what I’m looking at; everyone saw what I did. I’m not crazy; this isn’t all in my mind. I know I cut him deep. I felt my claw slice through a few layers, not just skin. I know we heal fast as wolves, but the damage I inflicted doesn’t heal that fast. I quickly look around me before letting my eyes land back on the pup. He’s slowly standing to his feet, his eyes stuck on me. He stands tall and flexes his upper body. He makes a point of stretching his neck this way and that. It’s almost like he’s making sure I see that there’s no damage there. His expression is growing more and more smug, and I’m getting even more pissed off. The whispers have started, and I hate that. It’s like they are so taken with him because of some lame magic trick. I growl out in frustration, wanting to make everyone pay. “What type of trickery is this?! What pack uses a witch to d

~Third Person~A small crowd has gathered as word spread fast. It isn’t every day that there’s a challenge issued. On top of that, it was issued on packlands, which probably hasn’t happened in anyone’s lifetime. To add more fuel to the fire, the challenge involved the Beta of the pack.They are a bit beyond the training area, with nothing but open land. Those gathered have formed a loose circle around the Alpha and Beta. Alpha Tyrice is standing with Alayasia, Jakob, and Elder Haynes.Houston has stripped down to a pair of athletic shorts with no shirt. He’s pacing a bit, stretching out his arms and legs. Geoffroy stands tall, watching him in amusement. As far as the Alpha is concerned, this will be a quick battle where he will definitely come out on top. He will take Alayasia and her child back with him. He plans to punish Alayasia before handing her over to Leon. She’s done too much and needs to remember what she’s on this Earth for. Alayasia watches the men in the middle of the ri

~Third Person~As soon as those words leave Houston’s lips, everyone stops. Alayasia is horrified that Houston could be so spontaneous. Houston is determined to protect his family, and the Elder is lost. The air becomes still, and silence envelopes the room. It is broken by the sinister laugh that slips from Geoffroy’s lips. Geoffroy steps forward again, making sure to invade Houston’s space. “What did you say, little pup?” Houston makes himself taller and squares his shoulders. He truly isn’t afraid of Geoffroy. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to challenge him in front of Alayasia, but there’s no turning back now. “You and everyone else heard me; I didn’t stutter. I challenge you.” Houston moves in closer. “You walk around, thinking you can do whatever you want, treat people however you like. A breeder, really?! You’re fucking disgusting and pathetic!” Houston spits at his feet, making sure to maintain eye contact. Geoffroy closes the distance between them. They are almost the same

~Alayasia~Come in now. I walk into the office and stand next to my mate. “Hello, I’m Alayasia, the Beta female. I hear you were looking for me.” Geoffroy's body is rigid, and his jaw is ticking. I know he’s pissed, and he wants to grab me, but he can’t show his hand right now. The Elder looks completely confused; his head keeps moving between me and Geoffroy. “Uh, yeah, uh, hello. I’m Elder Haynes. I came here in regards to the young Zara.”“Zara is my daughter. What do you need with her?” He clears his throat and sits up in his seat. “I was under the impression that Zara was being held here when her family was looking for her.” I tilt my head to the side, making sure my eyes never leave his. “I’m not sure what you were told and by who, but my daughter is safe here. This is her family, with me being her mom and Houston being her dad.”“He isn’t her dad! Her DNA came from Maxim!” I lift my eyes to look at Geoffroy, but I say nothing. I want to see how far he plans to go. “You were

6 Months Later~Paul~It’s been six long months, and Nikki still hasn’t woken up. Owlyn has been here and tried to get a response from her. Nothing has worked because she says it has nothing to do with magic. The doctors don’t have an answer, and I’m just lost without her.I knew she shouldn’t have volunteered. I felt in my heart that it wasn’t the right choice, but what could I do? I love her with everything I have, and I couldn’t tell her not to do what her heart said was the right thing.I run my hands through my hair and then over my face. I haven’t left her side in six months, and I’m beyond tired of seeing these walls. My sons have tried to get me to leave, and so has Tia. I refuse them because this is where I’m meant to be. As long as my heart is here, I will be here. Tia has been here often and has brought our grandchild, but besides those visits, it’s just been Nikki and me. I refuse to believe that I finally found my fated mate just to lose her so quickly.I put my head in m

~Devonte~The pain in my heart is all-consuming. I want the pain to stop, but I don’t know how to make that happen. I curl up tighter, hoping that the pressure will help with the pain. It’s all too much, and I don’t know what to do to make it better.Abe has gone silent, and I’m not surprised. He’s been struggling the most, and I have no words to soothe him. I wish I could wake up yesterday when things were what they were. I’d give anything to go back.“BROTHER?! BROTHER WHERE ARE YOU?!” I curl up tighter as if that’s going to keep me from being found. I don’t think I can handle the words and emotions that will surely follow my brother. I can’t take what that would mean.His thudding footsteps get closer and closer. I know I can’t hide myself; there’s no way to become invisible. I can’t keep this from happening. I hold my breath, waiting for the inevitable. “D, I found you. I’ve been looking everywhere. Our mate, she needs us. She needs you.” I’m trying to block out his words, but I’m

~Third Person~Everything seemed to happen all at once. Andricia is thrown against a tree trunk and curls up with a whimper. The pain is too much, causing Andricia to shift back into Tia. The twins witness this, and all restraint is lost. They shift and run at Imogene, who quickly wraps them up in blue light.Nikki hasn’t taken her eyes off Imogene, so she’s ready to interfere. As she shoots her light at Imogene, it strikes her in the stomach. Imogene is taken off guard and loses her grip on the twins. They fall to the ground and falter as they try to get on their feet. Eventually, they gain their footing and try to attack Imogene again.Imogene defends herself, reduced to hand-to-hand combat with the edge of magic. She repeatedly strikes the wolves as they throw themselves at her. They are taking a lot of punishment, but they refuse to stop. Their only goal is to defend their love, though they’d rather take the time to see about her.The group is joined by vampires and rogues alike.

~Jenna~I scramble backward, making sure my back is flush against the tree trunk. I try to quiet my breathing, but it's proving to be a task. I search around me, but there’s only darkness. The night air is still filled with the sounds of a battle, but I can’t see what’s going on.“Ughhhhh.” I slap my hand over my mouth in an attempt to stay quiet. I look down and see the bright red blood. I shut my eyes tight and try to think about anything else. If I freak out right now, I won’t be able to get back to safety.Every inch of my body hurts, but I can’t think about that now. I need to get out of here and make it back to the packhouse. I struggle to my feet, using only my right arm. My left just hangs against my body. Every twist and turn of my body brings a wave of excruciating pain, but I have to ignore it right now.I finally get to my feet and stand against the tree trunk. My breathing is erratic, and my chest is heaving up and down. “Where’d she go? I don’t see her.”“Sniff her out.”

~Aida~I’m applying pressure to my sister’s neck, and I feel her body giving in. This is so easy it’s pathetic. I would have thought that she would have trained during my absence. She had to know that I would return, and with my return would come the fight for her life. I guess having a brain doesn’t guarantee that you’ll use it.Portia’s body slumps to the ground, and her breathing gets heavier. I swear she’ll be dead in a minute. While part of me is rejoicing, the other part of me feels that she’d be getting off too easily. She’s the cause of all my problems, even the cause of Adela’s death. I may have administered the final blow, but it wouldn’t have come to that if she hadn’t disrupted our plans.Portia completely falls under, and I let her go with a thud on the ground. I get to my feet and walk around her limp body. Her breathing is shallow, so I know I can still play around with her before I kill her. I just need to figure out what games will be fun to engage in.I walk around h

~Ivan~One of the twins lunges at me, and I step out of the way. The other twin moves toward me, causing me to dodge slightly. This can’t be how they expect to beat me. If things continue this way, I’m going to win without breaking a sweat.I don’t want to spend a lot of time with these two. I need to go find Aida and so help anyone who has tried to put their hands on her. No one will hurt my love and live to tell the tale. I’d scorch the Earth before I let anyone hurt her.These imbeciles are staring at me but have stopped lunging. I guess they realize that it’s useless. It doesn’t matter what they do to me, they won’t win. I’m a vampire, so my natural state is on a different level. On top of that, I’ve been around for a long time. There isn’t much that I haven’t seen before, so they are hard-pressed to find something new to throw at me. “We’re wasting time, boys. I have more pressing matters.” I flip two fingers in the air back and forth. I hear reinforcements moving in. “Let me jus

*Three Months Later*~Akia~I turn and look at the closed door again, almost trying to will it open. I sigh and roll my eyes, turning back and walking down the hall. I swear it makes no sense. I have no idea what’s going on.Esme got in last night and was supposed to be up this morning to go shopping with me. She knows that I need all the help I can get, yet I haven’t been able to find her. I wanted to leave at ten so we could get in and get out. It’s going on noon, and I still have no idea where she could be.I let out a breath and slowly make my way down the stairs. I keep trying to think where she could be, where I could have missed her, but I can’t figure it out. I step off the last step and stand with my hands on my hips. Where the hell could Esme be?Sparks erupt on my arms, and his

“Ares laughed at me. He asked me if I understood yet. He told me that HE was the one who saw me and instantly had to have me. He said that Adolf was along for the ride, but the actions taken were his, Ares. He thought and decided before acting.” I notice the change in Atlas’s breathing and how his body reacts to what I’m saying. “I need you to understand, Atlas. Your brother, Ares, made the choices that impacted both of our lives so severely. He decided to try to hold on to something that wasn’t his. He decided to eliminate who he perceived to be a threat. Ares did all of this, not Adolf. He wasn’t corrupted by a wolf spirit, he was the corruption.” I push myself up and lean forward. My hands wrap around Atlas’s face. I pull it forward and let my lips rest on his forehead for a bit. “You saved us from more torment and pain. Even if Adolf was removed, your brother would have still been a problem all by hims

~Akia~I didn’t plan to fall asleep, but I couldn’t help it. Everything was a lot, and I was running on fumes. I can’t even remember how all of this started because it feels like I’ve been going for days and not hours. I guess life gets like that when facing circumstances like the ones I just escaped from. Settling against Atlas made me feel safe, and sleep came quickly.My body is moving slowly, but it’s enough to wake me out of my sleep. I blink rapidly, trying to get my eyes to adjust. When I open my eyes, I find myself gliding in the air, wrapped in the arms of one of my mates. I want to look and see who it is, but the exhaustion is overwhelming. I let my eyes close and snuggle against the warmth that’s surrounding me.⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲I wake up startled and sit up in bed. I gently touch my head and find it

~Akia~I don’t know what to say right now. Ares is bleeding out on the ground right now. Apollo is standing over him, but there’s no emotion on his face. Atlas has passed out next to Ares’s body, the stress having gotten to him. I’m standing here, not knowing what to do.My mate is gone… one of my mates is gone. I should feel sad, heartbroken. My heart should be shattered, and I should be trying to figure out how to survive without him. This is what I should be doing, but I’m not. I’m actually okay, and that’s a bit terrifying to say.If I’m being honest with myself, it feels like there’s a weight that has been lifted off me. Ares and Adolf are gone, and I’m not even mad about it. It’s crazy how calm I feel, but the truth is what it is.I know that Ares is the first of my mates that I met, b

~Atlas~The pain in my chest was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my life. It didn’t hurt this much when I was told that my mom had walked away from us or when we found out that she hadn’t left, but she’d been killed. I never knew something could hurt this much.There’s a warm hand on my back, tracing small circles. The feeling is soothing, but I don’t want it… I don’t deserve it. My head rests on softness, but it’s different from a pillow.I’ve stopped screaming and begging for something different. My throat is dry, and there are no more tears. I’m just left with the horrific pain. I killed my brother. I ended the life of my blood brother. I can never face anyone again; I can never be forgiven. “It’s okay, my child.” I slowly lift my head, struggling against the intense desire to disappear.

~Nyx~I stand and watch Adolf lose his sh.it. He huffs and puffs for a while, his eyes shut. I’m sure he’s trying to contact his human, but that isn’t happening. His connection with Ares has been severed by me.When that doesn’t work, he runs toward the others, but he moves right through them like a gas. It’s kind of funny, and if this weren’t a dire situation, I’d probably laugh at him. I can laugh later, right now, I will let him exhaust himself.His growl is strong enough to shake the trees if they were in the same plane that we are in. Adolf turns his head toward us and sneers. All of his teeth are visible, and there’s saliva dripping off the sharp tips. What did you do?!I scoff and roll my eyes. “What are you talking about?”Don’t play with me, bitch! Wh
