I laid down on the floor and gazed up into the beautiful night sky. The stars twinkled, and it was the first time in weeks that I felt at complete peace. I sensed something in the distance towards the trees, so I turned my head to look at what was there. My eyes grew wide when I saw them. Just outside of town lines were Chase and Jesse. Behind them were their packs. They were waiting for me, calling to me, although now I couldn’t hear them.My heart began to beat faster and faster as excitement and joy took over me. Seeing them made me happier than I could have imagined. Their beautiful, sparkling green eyes and their dimpled smiles drew me in instantly. I loved them more than anything in this world, but now that everything was silent, I could think clearly for the first time in weeks. Had they been there the entire time? Was this all happening because of them?I stood up and they both edged forward but stopped dead like they couldn’t cross an invisible barrier or something. I moved f
“That should do the trick,” she announced in a chirpy voice. “You'll need to keep those earplugs in for at least a week while your eardrums heal. Otherwise, the noise will be too much for you and they won’t heal. Your hearing is super-charged, so hearing us through the earplugs shouldn’t be an issue.”I nodded at her but she didn’t give me a chance to thank her, or say anything at all, really. She turned to my parents and said,“Right ... I’m going to need you to capture both men for me. Can you do that?” She asked my father and he nodded in reply. I didn’t know what she wanted with them, but she did just fix my ears, so there was some trust there.“If I just erase her memories of them, they can still cause her significant harm by hanging around and calling for her. Eventually, it will drive her to insanity. Their bloodline is strong. Usually, the blood would have faded from her system, but theirs is too powerful. With their family's blood in her system, it has merged with her own DNA
“Shhh!” She held her finger to her lips for a few seconds while scanning around one last time. With a deep exhale she finally began to speak. “I only saw green auras, Aubrey. What other color did you see?” She asked in a whisper, while still darting her eyes around.“Blue… Why?”She gasped and threw her hands up to her mouth. With a shake of her head, she lowered her hands and replied,“No! That’s impossible. Are you absolutely certain you saw blue?”I nodded my head in reply, but she wasn’t convinced. Gripping a hold of my shoulders once more, she leaned in a little too close for comfort.“Now, Aubrey, this is extremely important. Are you sure?” She asked slowly, like all of a sudden I’d had a knock to the head and was a little on the dim side.With an exaggerated roll of my eyes, I replied,“Yes, Mom, I'm sure. Blue around their feet and legs, blending into an aqua color around their waists and finishing at a dark green around their head.”I thought I best explain exactly what I’d s
I would have taken her apology seriously if she didn’t still have that stupid smirk on her face. Oh, and not to mention her condescending tone. Who was I kidding? She was doing it all to wind me up. I didn’t know why she had something against me, but it took everything in me not to blurt out about her being a hybrid. I didn’t know what it meant, but I knew it was a secret that she wanted to keep on the down-low, because why else would she and her brothers have a cloaking spell on them? There was a reason why they were trying to conceal their true aura from Scions and I could have exploited it, but without my parents or brother here, I couldn’t risk starting a fight.I was sure that my pack would have my back, but I wasn’t sure how powerful the triplets were and if I did take them on, I couldn’t be sure that Shana would be on my side. I knew she worked closely with my father and our pack, and that she and her coven were classed as pack members, but if her loyalty lay with the other wit
Austin looked over at the cackling triplets with an eyebrow raised and a look on his face that I could tell right away that he thought they were complete weirdos. I chuckled a little, knowing my brother wasn’t keen on them, which was great, because it meant one more person on my side. I was a little worried that he’d have been sucked in by Irene's witchy charms, but luckily, he hadn't. He strolled over to me and Shana, then placed his back against the wall between us, bending his knee to rest his foot on the breeze blocks. While sweeping his hand through his hair, he asked,“So what’s got them cackling? They’re giving me the heeby-jeebies.”I saw now why Irene didn’t have my brother under her spell. He was crushing hard on Shana. Spotting my parents coming in through the back door, I decided to use the opportunity to leave Shana and my brother to continue their flirting alone. Between the pair of them, they were making me queasy. She was twirling strands of her hair around her finger
My dad chuckled at my naivety, which pissed me off even more. Like this situation wasn’t bad enough, I didn’t need to be laughed at or treated like a child.“Kiddo, they’re in full-blown Alpha mode right now. You have no idea what they’re capable of. They’re running on pure animal instinct and that instinct is telling them that you’re their mate and we’ve taken you away from them. They’ll kill us all!”I stood in silence, glancing back and forth between my mom and dad. Their worried expressions didn’t waver and I found myself battling my own thoughts. I couldn’t believe that Chase or Jesse would kidnap me, or hurt me in any way, but seeing the way they had been manipulated by the spells painted on the walls, I couldn’t be sure of much anymore.I thought that leaving all that mess behind at Murston would have been a fresh start for me. I believed that Chase and Jesse would respect my decision and get on with their lives, and leave me to get on with mine. I never thought about their ani
I turned away and eyed up my exit route, then glanced back at everyone else. I was mentally working out if I could outrun them all. I knew I could kick Austin in the balls and give myself a good few seconds to get away from him, but I wasn’t sure if I could outrun a pack of wolves. I’d seen Chase's pack shift and it took anywhere from thirty seconds to a minute or two, depending on the person. I hadn’t seen my dad's pack shift; so, I could only guess that they’d take around the same time. How far could I get in that time? I was a fast runner, but was I fast enough? I couldn’t be sure, but I knew it was worth a try. I took in a deep breath and faced my brother.“Please forgive me, Austin.”“Huh? For what …” I pulled my leg back, then shot it forward, plunging my knee right into his crown jewels. “Argh!!! What the fuck!?” He cried out while cradling his nuts in his hands, before collapsing to the floor with a thud.I sprinted as fast as I could towards the door. I reached it within seco
After a large yawn and stretch, I rubbed my eyes before opening them. The gorgeous smell of pancakes and bacon filled my room and I couldn’t wait to get downstairs to stuff my face. I was unusually hungry this morning and I would definitely be putting my morning run back an hour or two so I could have breakfast first. There was no way I was missing out on mom’s signature breakfast; she made the most delicious pancakes.I threw my covers off and ran into my bathroom to pee, shower, and get dressed. I rushed through my hygiene routine because I didn’t want my food getting cold and I knew I couldn’t rock up to the dining table in my pajamas—my mom would never allow that. As laid back as she was normally, when it came to presentation, she was a drill sergeant. She always said that you never knew who could come knocking, so we always needed to look our best. Today was one of those days that proved her correct, because just as I made my way towards the stairs, there was a knock on the door.
I sat on the porch wearing my fluffy socks, fleece pyjamas, gloves, hat and a super soft grey blanket that I'd wrapped around me. Our beautiful winter was in full swing and Christmas was only a few days away. I had my hands around a large mug of coffee and took occasional sips as I gazed out over our immense snow-covered yard. Chase and Jesse, we're in the middle of a snowball fight with the kids and usually I would be joining right in with the festive fun, but being heavily pregnant meant lots of rest and sitting on my ass. I didn't mind though, I'd so can't the last few winters making snow angels and building snow men with the boys. So, it wasn't like I hadn't mad memories with them in their five years on this earth.We’d been through a lot, but life had been pretty perfect. Our relationship was sealed when I had the twins and even though we didn't know which kid belonged to who, Chase and Jesse didn't care and neither did I. We were a family and that's all that mattered. All the pa
The guys continued their game and every time I guessed the wrong guys touching or kissing my body, I was punished. From being whipped, slapped, and bitten, but how sexually aroused I was they didn't seem all that much like punishments. I didn't know if it was the heat or the fact that Jesse's sexual preferences had finally rubbed off on me. I was drenching the bed by this point and a knot had formed in my stomach from the insatiable need for them to ravish me. The treats I got for guessing correctly went from a kiss, to full on licking me out and even though I came a few times, I still needed more. I wanted them inside of me. My body wanted their seed. Chase was currently licking and gently hitting the inside of my thighs. My legs were shaking uncontrollably and I knew my body had gotten to the stage that it couldn't take the teasing any longer, so I begged Chase.“Please! Fuck me!” My words were released on the end of deep breaths and those were the only words I could manage to get o
I’d been visiting Chase and Jesse at the medical centre where they’d been kept for a few days. When I first saw them, I was in complete shock. They were black and blue, and their faces were so swollen that I couldn’t even tell who was who. Fast healing was one of the things I definitely appreciated about our breed and with them being Sentinels, they healed even faster. Today was the day that they were both due to come home and I’d worked my ass off all morning making the house perfect for their return. I wanted them to come home and us get straight on with the mating ritual, because my heat was in full swing, but the packs needed to see them too. So, I let them organise a party for them. Of course, I couldn’t attend because of my excessive pheromone production. They had been under sedation when I visited them, and we made sure no male doctors or staff were around during my visits.We sorted it out that they would have the party at my parent’s pack house rather than ours, so I just had
I was thrown onto the bed and I still didn't have a clue who was with me. I prayed to God that it was Chase and Jesse, and that my what was in full swing so I wouldn't go bat shit crazy on them and literally bite their heads off like a praying mantis. I couldn't understand why we couldn't catch a break. If the universe or fates or whoever wanted us three to be mated together and be strong Sentinels, then why the fuck were they ripping out lives apart now? Maybe it was a test to see if we deserved to have this life and be together? It didn't matter, I was fed-the-fuck-up of dealing with all this shit. I just wanted an easy and calm life. Was that too much to ask for?Whoever had thrown me on the bed placed his hands either side of my legs and leaned over me, sniffing my hair and my face. His warm breath on my cheek made my skin crawl, and that was when I knew it wasn't Chase or Jesse. I had to think fast before they had their way with me. I could feel my Sentinel powers tingling in my
I yanked my hands away from the guys and just managed to jump out of my chair and dive across the room as the wild men launched themselves at me. They weren't themselves any more, their feral instincts had taken over them. I'd seen it once before my cousin was at our house for dinner with her new mate and he ripped the whole dining room apart trying to get to her. I was only a young teenager and it scared the crap out of me. When I bonded with Chase and Jesse, I never thought about coming into heat, especially not this soon. Usually, it takes around six months, but I forget that the women in our family come into heat early. Although, never this soon. It's been less than twenty-four hours for Christ’s sake, I haven't been able to enjoy them as the men I love.“Mom! I'm in heat! Help!”While mind linking my mom, I sprinted toward the basement door. Every pack house has a safe room and ours has a nesting room. We had it set up the way me and Jesse wanted it, bit I wasn't expecting to use
I’d managed to fall asleep somehow. How I did with all that anxiety and embarrassment running through me, I don’t know. When I finally awoke the sun was rising in the sky. I could smell the morning dew and hear the birds chattering outside. Their songs were sweet, some what enthusiastic and it bought a smile to my face. But the smile was short lived. As soon as I remembered our naked escapades, the embarrassment took over again. I wondered if everyone had left. Well, I hoped they had. I couldn’t bare to face my family or the packs this morning. I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once back in my room, I didn’t feel like getting dressed properly so just pulled on some boyfriend style panties, then tugged on a pair of black three-quarter length leggings and a gray tank top. I finished the look with an over sized gray cardigan and a messy wet bun on top of my head.I could have easily of jumped back into bed and slept the day away, but something
Chase and I kept running through the trees like giddy fawns. We couldn’t believe how lucky we'd been. Irene turning up, right when we were trying to escape seemed like fate had planned it all out for us. It felt great knowing we had a higher power on our side. Sure, I knew that if Irene and her brothers survived the Soulderians, they'd hunt down Chase. She won’t let him go that easy. I mean if she was willing to sacrifice her life by fighting the black witches, there was nothing that could stop her from getting Chase back. The triplets had been running from the Soulderians all their life, so risking her own life and her brothers meant that she did Love Chase, in her own murderous and twisted way.If it went the other way and the triplets lost, I would be next on the Soulderians list and if they managed to extract the Titagel’s powers, I doubted that we stood much chance against them. They were power-hungry and beneath Irene and her brothers, I was classed as the next most powerful bei
I didn’t sleep well at all. The stone floor made places hurt that I didn’t even know I had. But when I opened my eyes and saw my crazy bearded soul mate, my pain didn’t matter any more. All that mattered to me, was getting us out of there. I sat up and stretched. My aching bones clicked and cracked and it felt good. My noise made Chase wake up.“Morning, babe,” he said sleepily.“Morning.”I knew he'd only just opened his eyes, but I needed answers and wanted to go over some ideas on how we could escape.“How do you remember me?”“Irene cast a spell so I could remember her, but it let me remember everything.” He sat up and stretched his legs out. With his back pressed up against the wall he continued, “I had to pretend that I loved her. She was highly jealous and killed any girl that showed interest in me.”“Oh God, Chase. I am so sorry you had to go through that.”“Well, it is what it is.” He turned his body to face me and pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them. I faced
I could hear my heartbeat pounding in my ears, everything seemed to slow down and Shana's screams became deep and dragged out. I knew I had to do something but I had no idea what. Without even thinking about it, I ripped my hands away from my eyes and screeched into the air,“Stop!”Shana's screams ceased and all the cloaked men turned to face me. I glanced down at my hands and they had a glowing gold aura around them. Two of the men whispered to someone in a red cloak.“She's a Sentinel,” one said.“I thought they were a myth,” the other added.The red-cloaked man raised his hand to silence them, then approached me. When he reached me, he grabbed my face and turned my head from side to side, then stared into my eyes like he was looking for something.“Curious. You’re a very rare being, do you know that?”I yank my face out of his grip and slap his hand away from me. In a split second, he holds his hands up and red lighting shoots out of them sliding around my wrists and ankles like a
