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

~Maxim~We didn’t stand outside for long. Geoffroy posed a question that I didn’t have an answer for, and he didn’t seem to care that I couldn’t answer it. I’m not even sure that he expected an answer. He sent me home, telling me to only come back when I had an answer to his question. The door slammed in my face, leaving no option to argue. When we pulled out, I had the driver stop not far outside of the gate, and we’ve been sitting here ever since. I can’t believe a question with such an obvious answer has me so stuck. Geoffroy asked me if I loved Alayasia, and I’ve been a mess since. Hugo hasn’t even chimed in with a response. “Uh, sir?” I look up to see concerned eyes looking back at me. I sigh and shake my head. “Go to the nearest human town and stop at a bar. I need some time.” I’m pretty sure this is too early for drinking, based on human logic, but I don’t care. I really need a moment to get my thoughts together.I’m not sure how long we are rolling, but it seems like no time

~Geoffroy~I wasn’t lying. I fully expected him to be waiting for us when I got back yesterday. I knew that spineless Alpha would call him the moment I told him that I was taking her with me. I figured he would be here, demanding that I explain myself. He would demand that I leave her there and then I’d have to kill both of them for disrespect. When we got in last night, he wasn’t here and I hadn’t really heard from him either. Something told me to be on the look out for him, though and I’m glad I paid attention to that thought. I don’t know where his mind is with all of this, but I guess I will find out. When we got back last night, I gave her a room to sleep in and I went to mine. It didn’t keep the thoughts from flowing in my mind. Karis is gone and untraceable. Now, I have Alayasia here who is my daughter that I never considered to be related to me. I’ve been curious, but I still haven’t decided if I will indulge in that or not. At least with him here, I can put that thought asi

~Maxim~True to his word, Geoffroy took Alayasia with him when he left. How do I know? Montgomery wouldn’t stop calling and texting. The texts started when I stopped answering the phone. I was tired of hearing the same crap come out of his mouth. I truly didn’t understand what he wanted from me. Did he think I had a hand in this? I told him repeatedly that I had nothing to do with this. I wasn’t the one who told Geoffroy to take her or even knew he was going to do that. Montgomery is pissed that he didn’t get a piece of her yet again. I guess I understand where he’s coming from because I’ve had her, and she’s such a sweet peach. I guess it’s different for me because I was able to break her in, but even after all of those years, she was the sweetest peach. It’s why I kept coming back to her. It wasn’t because I wanted another child. Goddess! She’d proven that creating viable heirs wasn’t her skill set. I just loved the feel of being inside of her. I loved her her pussy molded around

~Karis~I swear the air around us is filled with silence, which is funny since we are outside, in the forest. When is the forest ever silent if there’s no threat in the area? I wasn’t really thinking about the words before they came out of my mouth. Well?! Did you mean it?Not you too, Rain. Why not me too? It’s a valid question, and I want to know the answer as well. Okay, I’m being ganged up on by my fated mate and my wolf. How the hell does that even happen?Movement snaps me back, and I see Jakob moving away from me. The look on his face is heartbreaking, and I hate that I’m the reason why he looks like that. I don’t want to hurt him, but I don’t know what to do. Talk to him… duh! I know I said that I missed Rain, but right now I’m rethinking that. Focus! I’m letting my thoughts distract me, and Jakob is slowly slipping away. I hurry behind him and grab his hand. I wasn’t prepared for the warmth and the sparks that would come with grabbing hold of him. The shock of it all makes

I think it’s funny when she-wolves try to lay claim to men who don’t want them. I had to deal with this back home the moment Alpha Geoffroy brought me in. No matter how much I tried to tell them or what they saw, they would be shit to me because they believed that I was trying to take their place. I didn’t want that man, and if I did, I certainly wouldn’t fight anyone over him. It looks like it’s the same with this bitch. She must want Houston, and she can’t have him. He seems too sad to have his mate in this pack. I think she’s gone, and he’s missing her. My heart hurts for him, and I wish I could help him. I’m glad he and Zara have each other, though I’m not sure they are actually father and daughter. Biologically, no, but they chose each other. Their scents don’t match. Rain is firing on all cylinders today, and I love it. It isn’t hard to figure out. It’s all in the scents. I internally roll my eyes at Rain’s ‘matter-of-fact statement. She gets like this sometimes. It’s like she

~Shiloh~I’ve kept my distance from Houston since that incident. It isn’t because I’m worried about what he said or scared. I just want to give him time to miss me. I know he’s lonely. That human isn’t here, and he hasn’t been seen with any she-wolf. He’s marked, but I have no idea by whom. The scent mixed with his isn’t familiar. I’ve been seeing a new she-wolf hanging around. I’ve seen her with the ranked members, I’ve seen her with Jakob; basically, it’s like Alayasia all over again. Her scent isn’t on any of the ranked members, and theirs isn’t on her. I’m not sure if she could be the she-wolf I’m searching for.I’ve asked my people time and again, but they have no information. They know that she’s been staying in the packhouse, but they can’t even tell me which floor she’s staying on. I hate not having access, and I hate that they are being so secretive these days. I guess I will have to find out myself. I stand and stretch my body. Things have been hard lately. I’m still keepi

“BlackPaw Pack! I’m so glad to see you have survived and are supporting each other. You have done what a pack is meant to do. The traitors you had among you have been dealt with as have the poisonous Alpha family that was in charge for decades. You are free of the lies and need someone more honorable to be in charge. That being said, let me welcome your new ranked members to the stage so they can say their vows and take their rightful places.”“I, Aston Wiley, promise to protect and serve the BlackPaw Pack as Alpha. I promise to…”“I, Katarina Harris, promise to protect and serve the BlackPaw Pack as Luna. I promise to…”*Six Months Later*~Aston~It’s been six months since we’ve been sworn in as the ranked members of this pack in a ceremony that took place two weeks after the end of King. I took over as Alpha, with Katarina as my Luna. We made Dominic Beta, and Deacon agreed to be our Gamma. Before you get upset about Dominic, just hear me out.I’ve known Dominic all my life, and he w

~Aston~I blink, feeling like I’m losing my mind. That has to be the case because there’s no way this is real. I close my eyes and silently count to three before opening them again. Nothing has changed, and absolutely nothing is moving.I reach out to the wolf in front of me, but there’s no movement at all. I feel like I could tip the wolf over, and there’d be no stopping it from falling. I am miffed right now because this is something that should only exist in our wildest imagination. “ASTON!” I turn to find Katarina running toward me.Katarina’s hands are on my face, igniting sparks along my skin and shivers up and down my spine. “Did you do this?” I gesture to the frozen wolves around us.“Uh, yeah, I think so. I don’t know what it is or how.” I look around again while shaking my head. Damn! My girl has some nice ass powers. I think I’m a bit jealous, if I’m being honest. I thought my powers were cool, but now I see they were nothing.“How long do you think it lasts?” Katarina shak

~Katarina~Aston wastes no time running out of his room after being called out by King. I don’t want him to go, but I know this has to happen. I run after him, not wanting my mate to have to confront him on his own.King is standing outside, and Tatiana isn’t that far behind him. I have no idea who let that bitch out of the cells, but heads are going to roll. Aston rushes out in the field, stopping a few feet in front of King. I notice some wolves are coming out of the shadows, but it has me on edge. Some seem to be moving to the side where I’m standing close by Aston, and others are standing on the side that houses King and Tatiana. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, but we have a serious loyalty issue. It looks like some pack members are still loyal to King, and that’s probably how he’s made it into the pack the last two times. It may even be how Tatiana is free right now.Speaking of Tatiana, her eyes haven’t left me since I got out here. She looks like she’s ready to

~Aston~I know this will get me some crazy looks, but I was so turned on when I watched Katarina end Chandra. I know how sick that sounds, but I can’t help it, and I refuse to lie. She was poised and confident and I was definitely responding to that.There wasn’t much to do once Chandra was dead. Topaz let us know that they found her lab and were going to raid it. I figured there would be no answers for me there, and Topaz promised to let us know if she found anything useful.She brought us back to packlands, and we are walking hand in hand to the packhouse. I want a nice hot shower, to talk with my dad, and time with my mate. It feels like we’ve been on the go for a while now without stopping. I know it’s due to all of the emotional upheaval we’ve been dealing with, but it’s still a lot.We walk into the dining room to have all eyes on us as we step through the door. Katarina snuggles against me, and I guide her to our table. Mom and Dad are already there and snuggled up together as

~Topaz~I didn’t know what to do while I waited to talk to Eddie. I walked the perimeter of the pack, making sure our wards were in place. I tweaked everything, making sure to keep the pack accessible for the proper individuals.I look at the time as my nerves set in. I’m scared, I can’t lie. I don’t know how this talk is going to go, and that scares me. I know that if I don’t give it a try, I will regret it for the rest of my life.I’ve tried to rehearse the words in my mind, but I changed them a bit each time. I really don’t know what to say, and I don’t know what he’s going to say. I know what I’m attempting to do, and I know that most will view it as the worst thing I can do. I get that, really I do. I just can’t help my heart right now. I have to know for sure that it’s really over between us.A sound behind me shakes me out of my thoughts. There’s a giggle that is filled with nothing but love and happiness. Something is telling me not to look at the scene behind me, but I’m comp

~Eddie~I follow Shawna home, letting the events of the day swirl around in my head. So much has happened in a short amount of time. The entire situation is crazy to me, but it’s also heartbreaking. I had no idea my best friend was capable of such evilness and selfishness. If it hadn’t been for him, my family wouldn’t have gone through the pain that they suffered. I don’t know if I could ever make it up to them, but I’m sure as shit going to try.Sparks on my cheek break me from my thoughts, and I look at my surroundings. We are standing in the middle of our bedroom, and I didn’t even realize we had walked this far. Shawna is standing in front of me, looking worried. “I’m fine, love. I’m just a bit lost in thought.”“You’re fine?! You’re not fine, Eddie. You’ve gone through something traumatic at the hands of someone you trusted.” I suck in a breath, not wanting my emotions to overwhelm me. “I know you, and I know what your thinking. It wasn’t your fault. You had no idea that Blake wa
