Chapter: Chapter 186WyattOn the ride to the truck, I found myself gripping my chest, Beau with his head leaning against the window did the same, the pain scorched and burned and though I knew the heartache would always be there this was more than my own. Beau’s eyes squeezed shut and a tear fell. I glanced at Zoey keeping quiet in the passenger seat leaning forward as she wound her way around narrow streets.“Promise me you will watch over her,” I asked. Zoey glanced at me as I gritted my teeth against the pain blooming in my chest.“You have my word,” Zoey answered quietly. I gazed out the window unseeing as the streets of New Orleans passed by.“I know she loves you both, very much,” Zoey said, swallowing hard. This had to be hard for her, knowing what Bri was sacrificing, what we all were, and being the only one who knew it all. A lump had grown in my throat as I gritted through the emotions of this “separation” and took a steading breath.“If she ever needs us, we will be there,” I let her know as Z

Chapter: Chapter 185BriI woke to a rapt at the door moving felt wrong as the men growled in slumber and I pulled away, throwing one of their shirts on to answer the door. Thankfully it was Zoey as I leaned against the door jam not bothering to button the shirt and she handed me our bags. Her eyes scanned me as Wyatt came up behind me growling but I pushed my ass out to block him before he realized he was naked. Typical male Alpha bullshit dealing with his possessive female.I just passed the bags to him before I gripped Zoey’s hand like a vice as my emotions rose. “Give us some time, don’t leave me yet.” I bit my lip, emotions coursing through me.“I'm not going anywhere ma ami,” Zoey said, her eyes sad as they met mine. She knew the toll weighing on my heart perhaps, but not the one tethered to my soul. I nodded to her before ducking back into the room. My face fell as I faced them.“This is it,” I said, as both men approached me, my back leaned against the door.“We are only a few hours away,” Beau s

Chapter: Chapter 184BriBeau placed slow-moving molten kisses down my back when he came to the dip in my backside where the dress covered my ass his fingers deftly began unclasping it when the skirt finally fell open, Wyatt undid the clasp at my neck and the entire thing slid into a glimmering pool of glittering fabric at my feet. Beau collected it and I stepped over it in my heels before he laid it out over a chair in the corner.Wyatt growled, “You went into that room without any underwear?”“Did you not see the dress?” he looked about to go feral on me and I was glad for it. Beau returned only to sink to his knees behind me as Wyatt's large calloused hands began to work my breasts as his tongue warred with mine. Beau’s lips pressed against the small of my back and descended. When he reached the seam of my ass Wyatt yanked one leg up high on his hip, steading me with an arm around my waist. The air hit my damp core and caused me to shiver. The next thing I knew Beau's mouth had found a mission. My dr

Chapter: Chapter 183WyattBri had been magnificent, the amount of power that had poured through her, that she had siphoned into us for our wolves to take shape outside of ourselves had been immense. I could have said it shocked me, but that would be a lie. Our Moonbeam was more than a common witch. She hadn’t hesitated, barely batted an eye as she became judge, jury, and executioner to the Vipers who had done such unspeakable wrongs against her. She wore her scars for all to see and I loved her more for overcoming it all. It hit me then, this was our last night. Her very power marked her as the rightful head of this seat on the council. When she had claimed it, no one had dared to oppose her.When the doors had unlatched a few cowards took off. I watched her note them. Analyzing who they were and how she would have to manage the aftermath, those who would oppose this spectacle. I stood prone and mute as did Beau. Her father's supporters and those brave enough walked before her and bowed low expressing th

Chapter: Chapter 182beau182He had a cocky smirk on his weathered face, his silver beard mirroring his hair. He looked too strong for his age as he filled out the light grey tuxedo, a plaid handkerchief tucked ornately into his pocket. He nodded looking around at the now vacant dias.“Seems like it’s ma turn Little Bird,” he said, his accent thick and not any I recognized. Bri scowled at him. “You can try tae kill meh, lass but it wulny work. Yae urny ready for aw the answers yae seek. It’s still tae be seen if yae earn them.“What the fuck is that supposed to mean,” Bri spat. “You were always a strange one, I could never quite figure you out,” Bri admitted. “That you weren’t the worst of them, doesn’t get you out of this Silas, you will be judged.” Bri pointed out.“Judge me aw yae wish, I care not. I did wit I needed tae dae, by you and I’ll stand by it. I never molested yae, I didny beat ye. In fact, if it wisny fur me, they wid hiv taken ye years ago. I stopped that, just like I stopped them from s

Chapter: Chapter 181Beau“Fucking disgusting pedophile freak, and a necro to boot,” Brianna tutted, she looked at her fingernails and shook her head, “I wonder if I took more than your ability to walk when you came looking for me. Do you know how hard it was to not kill you on the spot every time you touched me? To endure it so I could get out? Just so I could gain my full strength to come back and seek retribution for everything? She smiled towards her mother, “You don’t get to go to hell for killing my father. You wanted purgatory and I have someone here that can send you somewhere better. And you won't have any power there, will she?” She turned casually to Wyatt in question. “No,” he growled out, his canines showing his face shadowed in the angles that marked him as a predator, as he sat precariously in the lane between shifting and humanity. I wasn’t any better off as I struggled to keep my claws in. Brianna set loose her mother.“You little bitch you ruined everything! From the day Pierre brought y

Chapter: Chapter 53SladeSecrets. She undoubtedly had many. Was it a risk I was willing to take? I took another bite as everyone watched me, but Brianna dug into her grits before taking a swig of coffee and peered at me from over the mug. The two men of her inner court sat back and turned their attention to her, their brows furrowed. The look she gave them said ‘don’t question me.’So, only Brianna knew what she was going for this morning. Neither her advisor, nor her ambassadors, had a clue what she was planning on doing. The human girl bit her lip. She knew.Brianna set her cup down and took another bite as she found her food more interesting than my long hesitation. I mulled it over, what would I gain spreading the High Priestess' secrets? Probably death. Better I not tell, or I tell, and she rips me limb from limb, or her enemies would kill me anyway.“I agree,” was all I said, going back to my food. That's when a presence took over me. It was inky and bright all at once, as it filtered past every w

Chapter: Chapter 52Slade I arrived in New Orleans late last night, alone. I didn’t want any more grievances from the High Priestess. Our last meeting hadn’t gone so well, and I had been humbled by her crude description of my lack of respect. I wasn’t sure what I would gain, if anything, today; why she had bothered to call me here on such short notice, or even why she had chosen to entertain my presence again? I had been stupid to bring my assistant with me, especially since I had been fucking her at the time. I had been on a mission to gain an alliance marriage. I had been a complete idiot. She had wiped the floor with me, and though my ego was wounded, she gained my utmost respect. I was young for my position, and thought since we had a similar vision she would see me as an opportunity. No doubt, men several years her senior were also seeking her out. That was just gross. Since then, Amy had been repositioned far away from my temptation, and here I was about to walk into another breakfast with the wo

Chapter: Chapter 51ZoeyI woke up to the sound of my alarm, and Bri and Sadie groaned, pulling the covers over their heads. I chuckled to myself as I slipped on my clothes, thankful neither had gone furry in the night. I went down to the scullery to make two coffees and a tea, and set them on the table as I watched each of their eyes open and peer at me from over the covers.“Time to get up, ladies!” I announced, and they tossed back the down comforter and groggily moved to the table. Bri had worn a t-shirt and boy shorts to bed, and Sadie wore leggings and a tank top. They each sat and took their respective drinks before they said a word.“Do I want to know what today’s lineup is?” Bri asked irritably.“Probably not, but I’m going to tell you anyway.”“Breakfast with the Priest of the West Coast.” Bri leaned her head back and stared at the ceiling.“Please tell me he didn’t bring his fuck toy again?”“He came alone.”“Thank fuck.” Bri answered, before taking a long sip.“You have grievances with three

Chapter: chapter 50BriSadie was taking everything very well. I eyed her. I had said it was time for my pack to stop letting themselves be pushed around, and I meant it.“Ya know, I made that pathetic excuse of a man piss himself twice?”“Who?”“Your sperm donor.”The girl's eyes widened. I shrugged.“His time on this earth is limited. When you are ready to tell me, I want to know everything he did to you. I was fortunate not to know all the details of my abuse; my magic and my mind protected me. A little girl gave me her memories to get through the worst moments of my life.” I said before standing and walked to the balcony where Zoe had placed the potted magnolia. I opened the doors wide, letting the breeze in, and lifted the potted plant up. If I wanted the girl to open up to me, I might as well do the same. I came back to set the plant in its decorative vase on the table.“The truth is, Sadie, I admire you; you're very brave for one so young. My own mother abandoned me in the trash after I was born.

Chapter: Chapter 49SadieI was shocked by what I saw my new Luna do, how she had conjured the moon. She wasn’t just a wolf, but a powerful witch who had the capability to summon that lunar energy. My knees quaked, urging me to bow, but I couldn’t take my eyes off her as the flicker of her beast within made itself known—not just a wolf then; the reds true Luna—the presence I caught out of the corner of my eye, before she turned to a point on the wall. Her fingertips grazed along the seam of the wallpaper. A stark click, followed by the groan of mechanisms, as the wall gave way and opened, resulting in a rising plume of dust. Brianna sneezed, and cursed. Guiding her ball of moonlight into the doorway. “Holy shit!” Trent exclaimed, striding inside. My Luna and Andrew followed him. When Zoey and I made it to the doorway, we were met with walls of books. From the scent of them, they were very old. Brianna pulled a large tome from a shelf; she sniffed it, making a face, like she wanted to drop the book immed

Chapter: Chapter 48BriAndrew squeezed my hand and I came back to myself, the skulls and the burned out candles still in place from that day, lay in the center of the room. My beast eyed the old remnants of splattered blood and chalk etchings, never removed from the floor; they had left it for years, intending to finish the rite. My stomach turned. I looked at Andrew, who appeared pale as he looked back at me.“I never thanked you for buying me time, the time I desperately needed.” He squeezed my hand again. “It was us or them. I had to give you an opportunity, or it would have been the end for us both if they won,” he said with a shrug. I studied the room for anything vile. However, the time was up, and though the remnants of the dark intentions of the room was a heavy weight, nothing could hurt anyone here, anymore.“It’s safe,” I announced, letting go of Andrew and stepping into the room first. I had conquered these enemies, well, most of them. It was time to face the past and stop letting it be a
