Lia

After the many attempts on our lives by the Rosewater Coven, we filed another appeal at the Werewolf association. I was shocked to hear from them one morning, but I answered right away.

The conversation started normal. They said they had managed to work together with the magical association to reach out to the Rosewater Coven who were willing to give up on the blood oath under one condition.

But the condition set me off.

"The only way they’ll drop the blood oath is if we pack up and leave the state? That’s insane!" I snapped, barely able to keep my voice steady.

How could they suggest such a thing? It was insanity!

This place was our home. Why should we have to leave because they were refusing to leave the blood oath alone? Their stupid pride was to blame for everything.

"These are the only terms they’re willing to agree to," the voice on the other end responded, calm and unbothered. "Either you relocate, or the blood oath remains in place."

I gritted my teeth. "Do you even hear y

    LiaI couldn’t believe that they wanted us out. How could they want us to leave a place that had been our home for so long?The Werewolf association didn’t want any fuss. This was why they wanted to leave, to give in to Rosewater Coven’s demands. By doing this they could wash their hands of it.It filled me with rage and a determination to stay. I didn’t want to leave! Why should I leave when they were the ones stuck in the past?The Rosewater Coven should accept that we bested them. If anyone should leave then they should.But we still had to discuss it as a pack.The Moonveil gathered around the table, the air crackling with tension. Matt cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention to him.“We should leave,” Matt says, jaw tight.“No,” I say immediately, crossing my arms. “I don’t want to go.”“Same,” Rain mutters.“Yeah,” Jesse adds. “I don’t want to leave either.”Matt lets out a sharp breath. “Oh, now you don’t? Five minutes ago, you were on the fence.”“I was thinking,” Jes

    JesseIt took about three days for me to start to form a plan in my mind. I was going to find a scryer who could track the Rosewater Coven.Magic was not something I was accustomed to, but I paid attention with Lia spoke. She loved to talk about magic and what she was learning. As long as she was happy I was happy.But I also thought it could be useful.When I discovered Scrying, I realized we had a way to track down the coven. I had started planning this before Lia’s attack but once she was attacked, I decided this was what I was going to do.I took a piece of her clothing, and stuffed it in my pocket. With this, we could pay a witch to scry for us and find the location.Then launch a surprise attack.My focus would be the leader of the coven. If you took out the one overseeing the whole thing then everyone was going to be scrambling amongst themselves, trying to figure out how to keep the coven going.I knew it was the best way to stop them in their tracks.Matt was the one who I tr

    MattI looked around, feeling more than a little uneasy with this cottage we had driven up to in the middle of nowhere.“Jesse, are you sure this isn’t a trap? It feels like a fucking trap.”He looked around, taking in the scenery.It was a lovely place. Flowers everywhere and a well-manicured lawn. The cottage itself was small and cozy with a little garden directly out front.The scryer Jesse had been talking with lived in this cottage. After emailing back and forth for a while, she sent him the address where she was located. He asked me if I wanted to go with him and I jumped at the chance, not wanting him to go alone.Jesse trusted me with the secret so I was going to do my best to honor it by going with him.“Well if it’s a trap at least we can say that we tried.”I shot him a look. “Jesse, I don’t want to say I tried. I want to you know… live!”“You sound like you're quoting a movie.”My eyes rolled so hard I swear they were going to roll into the back of my head. “Jesse, are you

    ColbyWhile I was angry after learning what Jesse and Matt did, I was also happy because it meant that we were one step closer to putting this coven behind us. They explained to us everything that they learned from the scryer.The hills were a lovely area where people liked to hike, have picnics, and just relax. To think the coven had been hiding there the entire time pissed me off.It was a huge area that was going to require all of our package power. I thought about how we could do this quietly, and one thought I had was the use of a drone.“A drone?” Lia asked in disbelief. “You want to use a drone?”I nodded. “And I was thinking you could use one of your spells to mask it in some way. It’s a way to combine technology and magic!”Lia looked like she wasn’t sure about what I was suggesting. I know it was a little unorthodox but I felt this was the best option for us.“I guess we could make it work.”It would help us pinpoint the exact location. Then from there, we could attack them,

    LiaSwitching back to focusing on the mating ceremony was a bit of a change, but I was relieved to do something on the normal side.Right now, Simone and I were sitting in my room. It was up to us to plan it. At least we were going to do the majority of the planning. I was ready, wanting to move forward with my mates.I twirled a loose thread from my sleeve between my fingers, barely able to contain my excitement as I turned to Simone. "So, I was thinking—end of the month. That’s when we should do it."Simone arched an eyebrow, a slow smirk creeping across her face. "Oh, we’re finally picking a date. I thought you were going to keep dancing around this forever."I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t stop smiling. "I wasn’t dancing around it. I was just... waiting for the right moment. And now it feels right.""Mmhmm. And it has nothing to do with you just being super excited?" She nudged me with her elbow, her teasing tone unmistakable."Okay, maybe a little." I laughed, shaking my head. "

    RainI was more than happy to offer my help to Simone and Lia. As her future full mates, we should be helping her plan the ceremony! The guys were more indifferent about it, adding to my frustration.It got the point where I forced them into the living room so we could talk.“Why are we here?” Matt asked. “We need to go to practice in twenty minutes.”I scowled. “No first we are going to talk about some things first, understand?”“I’ll allow it,” Colby said, gazing at me with a smile.Sometimes I forgot that he was the leader so I should run things by him but all I could do was remember occasionally. My eyes locked with Jesse who blinked.“What do you want Rain?”“I want us to help Lia plan the mating ceremony!” I exclaimed. “You know she’s planning it with Someone who a lot can be right?”I loved Simone. She had become like a sister to me and most of the time we were on the same wavelength but right now I didn’t want the mating ceremony to draw the attention of the entire state.With

    ColbyWhen the guys and I were getting ready that day, we didn’t speak much. All of us were lost in our own thoughts. I was unable to believe we were finally going to be mated to Lia. Rain was walking back and forth, muttering under his breath.He was thrilled but nervous. Rain wore his heart on his sleeve. I saw flickers of fear flash in those brown eyes of his. When we would lock eyes, he’d smile and try to pretend he was all right, but I knew he was worried.“Rain, it’s going to be all right. You’re freaking out for nothing.”Rain grinned, but I swear his left eye was twitching.“I’m not freaking out. Colby, I am the epitome of cool, calm, and collected.”Matt, form where he was standing, turned around and burst out laughing. “Yeah you are calm right now and Jesse is going to break out into song any minute.”“No,” was all Jesse said, blinking slowly.Rain huffed. “You guys are so mean. Teasing me like this.”“We’re not teasing you,” I said, stifling a laugh. “Okay, we are totally t

    MattThe second we were in the hotel room in the hotel across the street, it was like everything flew out the window. Gone were us being careful or controlling ourselves. Now we had a chance to mate with Lia and it was going to happen.For the first time, we could say that we were full mates. My heart was pounding. Colby looked over at me, chuckling.“Join me, Matt.”He had pulled Lia onto the bed first, making quick work of her dress. Colby was planting deep kisses up and down her neck.“What about you two?” I asked, looking at Rain and Jesse.Jesse blinked. “Go on. I’ll watch.”“Yeah, I’ll jump in when I see a good opportunity.”Lia whimpered. She was enjoying this, being the center of all our desires. Colby positioned his fangs on the left side of her neck, kicking me into high gear. I did the same with her right side, biting down into the soft flesh just after Colby did.She gasped, unable to move with her sandwiched between the two of us. I encouraged her to bite me after she bit

    LiaAfter that startling revelation, I decided I needed to spend some quality time with my mates.It was a lot to take in when you realize that your ancestors double-crossed a bunch of dragon shifters to save the world. Then you go ahead and screw it up. The you is me.I was the one who messed it up but if they had just told me the truth then everything would’ve been fine. Maybe we could’ve come with some way to keep the dragons at bay.Right now, I didn’t want to think about it. We were still at the hotel, trying to figure out what the hell we were doing. Simone was with me in her room with her mates out getting something to eat. It was giving us a chance to talk.I flopped onto the hotel bed with a sigh, staring up at the ceiling. “I need to figure out how to spend some quality time with them.”This was what I wanted to focus on right now. I spent some quality time with my mates and tried to distract myself from everything that was going on.She glanced at me, smiling.I stared back

    LiaThe dragon shifter showed up, climbing into the back of the truck. I was sitting there with him, wishing he would stop staring at me so strangely. He was looking at me as if he knew me but the two of us didn’t know each other!“You seem familiar,” the dragon shifter said, his golden eyes studying me with unnerving intensity.I stiffened. “We’ve never met.”A small, almost amused smirk played on his lips. “Of course. And yet…” He tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over me like he was searching for something. “There’s something about you. Almost as if we have met before. In another life, maybe.”I swallowed, my heart pounding against my ribs. “That’s not possible.”“Isn’t it?” His voice was smooth, but there was something else beneath it—something ancient, knowing. “I’ve lived long enough to believe in more than just what’s in front of me.”I held my ground, forcing my voice to stay steady. “Then maybe it’s just a trick of the mind.”He studied me for a long moment before h

    ColbyFor the next two nights, I stayed outside and hoped that I would meet that dragon shifter again. His name didn’t exactly roll off the tongue, so I just kept calling him Dragon Shifter in my head.Their names were so hard and difficult to pronounce. Made sense, given how old they were. Ancient.On the third night, I was starting to wonder if he was ever going to show up again. He had to hurry up because with every day that passed, the worse this crisis became. It was terrible to think more dragons were waking up.If we didn’t talk to the Rosewater Coven soon we were going to be fucked.I leaned against the car, arms crossed, watching as the dragon shifter approached. He didn’t look like much—a tall, lean figure in the shadow of the streetlight. But there was something about him. Something that screamed danger. I wasn’t sure if that was the dragon in him or the fact that I still didn’t trust him.“Colby,” he said, his voice low but steady. “We need to talk.”I pushed off the car,

    LiaI exhaled slowly, stretching out my fingers as the energy built inside me. A spark of light flickered between my palms, growing brighter as I focused. The magic thrummed through my veins, warm and alive, bending to my will.I flicked my wrist, sending a controlled pulse of energy toward the target. It hit dead center, leaving a faint scorch mark.Behind me, Simone let out a low whistle. “Damn, Lia. You’re getting pretty good at this.”I grinned, wiping the sweat from my brow. “I have to be.”Simone crossed her arms, watching me closely. “You mean you want to be.”I shrugged, rolling my shoulders. “Both. I need to be strong enough to protect everyone.”She tilted her head. “You know you don’t have to do everything alone, right?”I sighed, flexing my fingers as another surge of power built beneath my skin. “I know.”Simone didn’t look convinced. “Do you, though? Because it kind of seems like you’re trying to carry the whole damn world on your shoulders.”I glanced at her. “I’m not—”

    ColbyTalking with Michael did help. It made me even more determined to protect Lia with every bone in my body.When it was later that night, I decided to head outside. I needed some air and was sick of being in the stuffy hotel room.The cool air felt good. I walked over to one of our cars, taking in the night sky and the sound of the crickets.There was one good thing about traveling away from the city; we were getting to see some beautiful sites. I loved it.It was a shame that the pack decided to do this because we were trying to prevent a bunch of ancient, sleeping dragons from waking up.The previous attack was still being talked about. Some of the dragons had been killed while others were apprehended by the various supernatural creature associations.Frankly, I was just grateful there weren’t a lot of casualties from the attack.I leaned against the hood of the car, inhaling the cool night air. My ribs ached, my knuckles were raw, and frustration still simmered under my skin. W

    LiaI was so scared when I saw Matt fall down.Then I saw the blood. Anger and worry flooded through me followed by fear.I was so scared for him. He was bleeding and might die from his injuries.It was why I had learned a healing spell during my latest batch of studies.The pack was going to be heading into an unknown situation. I needed to make sure I could at least heal them to an extent.But the healing school came with a downside—it exhausted me.Rain came up beside me, wrapping an arm around me while Jesse and Colby helped Matt.The five of us hobbled out of the town. We weren’t followed by the coven; they wanted to be left alone so they were going to stay as far away from us as possible.After hopping in our car, we met with Simone. All of us regrouped. I stood there with Simone patted my shoulder.Growling in frustration, I started to walk ahead. My body was aching but I didn’t care. I needed to clear my mind.We left with nothing. No answers, no leads—just bruises, torn cloth

    LiaI saw the town in the distance, and it made me sick to my stomach.The town was the definition of a ghost town. There wasn’t anyone around, and I swear I saw a tumbleweed drift by.It was like I had stepped into some creepy horror movie with western undertones.My magic was crackling at my fingertips, prepared and ready.A rustling reached my ears. I cried out, sending a blast of energy toward the overgrown grass. A squirrel scurried out, the edge of its tail singed.“Lia, my dude, you almost murdered a squirrel. What did that squirrel ever do to you?”“Nothing!” I shrieked. “And I didn’t know it was a squirrel. I thought it was one of the members of the coven!”Jesse rolled his eyes. “Could you two be any louder?” he asked, rolling his eyes.“Yeah, you're going to alert them to our presence,” Colby pointed out, holding his finger to his lips. “Seriously, we are far too exposed right now. Let’s duck into one of those abandoned buildings and hide out while discussing strategy.”Sim

This was my home—my life.But it still pissed me off.I’d rather be on the field, playing rugby and winning for my team. This was where I felt most alive.Or at home with Lia and the rest of the pack. We were great together, having built a family somehow.Michael and Gabi were lucky to be back at the house, but I know they’d rather be here with us. If not for the twins, they would be.I wouldn’t have let Lia come if she was pregnant.Then again, I don’t think any of us could’ve stopped her. When she puts her mind to something, she becomes very stubborn and determined.Grumbling to myself, I glanced over at Colby, who was staring out the window.The group was back on search. We jumped into our cars and started following the trail, not sure if we were going the right way. Tegan and Lia

    LiaThe search wasn’t going very well. We were sitting here at night after a long day of searching, crowded around the flat screen in the room watching some movie. I wasn’t even paying much attention to it. It was some cheesy rom-com that couldn’t keep my interest.All that mattered was being able to sit there with my mates.Then the words Emergency Broadcast Announcement flashed across the screen. A very nervous-looking news announcer sat there, trembling behind the desk."This is an emergency alert from the National Emergency Broadcast System. We interrupt this program for an urgent announcement.""At approximately 8:42 PM, a sudden and unprovoked attack by rogue dragon shifters was reported in multiple locations. Authorities confirm significant structural damage, fires, and civilian casualties. Emergency response teams are being dispatched to affected areas.""All residents are urged to seek immediate shelter.
