I believe we are about to see a different side of Kaiya.
Ace My mind might be healed but my heart aches. I know this journey is supposed to help me get the rare ingredients that can make the cure for my mate, but being far from Kaiya makes me ache deep inside. I regret every awful thing I did to her ever and that is why I push on, even when I want to give up. My mate, my brother and my baby await my return. Sure, the baby hasn’t been born, but I hope to be home before it is. I trudge through the swampy terrain that leads to the trail up the mountain. I am half way across the globe in a foreign place and I know this journey won’t be easy. Dee brought me as far as she could and then wished me luck before returning. Her teleportation skills would come in handy, but I know it is too dangerous to teleport into a swamp or on a steep mountainous cliff. The air here is hot and humid, but I know back home it is getting cold and should be snowing soon enough. I might not make it home for the mating ball and I was the one who pushed for it to be
Kaiya I am happy to say that Dakota settled into his room quickly. Dylan contacted the boy’s mother and told her the situation and that if she would like to visit anytime she is welcome, but Dakota was being placed under the protection of his Alpha and given a room in the Alpha and Luna’s suite, where he would soon take on a very honorable job which he will receive a stipend for as well as receiving food and shelter. This pleased her. As soon as we got word of the arrival of the other two, Dylan and I went to meet them. Dylan told me he would bring Robin to a guest suite with a posted guard and I could speak with him. Dakota is the only other person allowed access without the express permission of Dylan. I stay with Dylan’s most trusted guard, Ross, and go to the cell they put Dakora’s other mate in. This guy, Troy, isn’t going to live long, but he will suffer. We had ordered him shackled at the wrist and ancles and suspended naked as we have decided will be done to rapists in ou
Kaiya The small guest suite is more luxurious than our warriors rooms or the tiny, shabby room I grew up with, but is still little more than a well furnished room with an ensuite bathroom and sitting area as well as a bed and dressing area. “Thank you for your hospitality, Luna,” Robin says in a soft yet deep voice as he bows his head and bares his neck in submission. “I know I could be in the cell with Troy for not having prevented his actions.” “I believe you are nearly as much a victim as Dakota and before you deny as much, I have been told of medical evidence of this as well as the rantings of your vile mate which would all but fully confirm it,” I reply. “I have been taking something to try to increase fears at safe times away from Troy so I can break the fears he holds over me, but I have had little luck, especially since he came and found me while I was out in the neutral city working on one of my fears and I had come across Dakota. Omegas don’t normally have theri wolf yet,
Dylan There is so much going on right now in our pack. I am uncertain how we are going to handle all this growth and the last few days I have had to deal with both pack and business issues,but it seems our business is bouncing back while our pack grows. Hopefully, this continues. We have had declines in the business for years, but to see increases for the first time in an extremely long time is almost too good to be true. I don’t want to be overly optimistic, but sales are up and I signed a new contract that will bring in even more revenue if it goes well. I wish Ace were here to help with some of these things, but I understand how important it is to get the herbs that could heal our mate’s wolf. Kaiya and the Omegas have done a wonderful job preparing for the Mating Ball and it is nearly here. “I want this stage to be able to be used for the Mating Ball after the executions, so we need to consider that,” I say to the warriors who I am having construct a stage in our city park.
Kaiya Dakota’s mother might be my aunt? Does she know she is related to my mother? We both get our green eyes from our fathers but our petite build from our mothers. But we don’t look much alike. I was not so shocked that Dakota is pregnant. I saw that coming. I believe we all saw it coming. He never went into heat despite having been forcefully marked when he was raped by one of his mates two weeks ago. It looks like instead of helping me with my pregnancy, he will be going through one of his own. This leaves us with figuring some living situations out. Ash said he and Robin could move into the suite he is in and he could move in with us and help with the pregnancy and I was concerned about when Ace returns, but he said he won’t be bothered or upset about it. With all the revelations, Robin has decided to permanently join our pack and he and Dakota will both complete school at our pack highschool, where Dakota had been attending, but has had a medical leave from. His father was n
Kaiya I am ready to leap from the vehicle as soon as we pull up to the packhouse and I see Amina climbing out of her car. “I’ll have someone bring you things in, Amina. I have had a suite prepared for you,” Dylan calls out as he attempts to make me slow my pace, but I am too excited to see my old friend and smother her in affection. I leap into Amina’s arms and I hear Dylan laugh behind me, “I’m sorry, Amina. I tried to slow my mate down and failed. I hope you were braced for impact. She might be tiny but she is mighty.” “You were not kidding when you said Dylan is different around you,” Amina chuckles. “He’s actually humorous.” “I will pretend I didn’t hear anything. I am a serious Alpha, you know,” Dylan says with a raised brow and smirk before kissing the top of my head. “Let’s show Amina her room, Sweetpea.” We go to the Beta wing and Amina looks at me pointedly. “Welcome to your new home, future Beta Amina,” I say as Dylan unlocks a door. We are both surprised to see it p
Ace It has taken weeks to reach the summit even at the pace of my wolf, Aspen. The way has been fraught with difficulties and now I face another. She looks beautiful as she takes human form, but I know who this is. She is said to be ancient, a daughter of Medusa, but she is not quite as ancient as that. She is Naga and her Gorgon genes as well as witch genes make her powerful, but she is hardly over a century old, though she looks to be twenty.“How dare you come to my home and not bring me gifts!” She snarls.“I was not informed I needed gifts, however, I have something I can give to you. It is not much and is just a humble offering, but it is what I have,” I reply.“I see your mind and know what you desire and why,” she says in a cold voice.“You know much of what your mate has endured is your doing and simply healing her wolf will not make up for ALL the wrongs you have done,” she continues after a scrutinizing glare from her scrapes over my cold form. Even my werewolf body hea
Kaiya A gust of wind and the howling storm woke me up and as heavy as I still felt, sleep did not return easily. Thoughts of Ace’s predicament kept swirling through my mind, even after I felt the weight of my legs return to normal.I must have eventually fallen asleep and now Dylan is kissing my shoulder and rubbing my back to wake me for the snowy day ahead. “Mmm, Dylan! That feels so good, but I don’t want to get up yet,” I mumble.“I know what will wake you up, Kaiya,” Dylan teases as he continues kissing me and rubs my back and shoulders.Soon it becomes apparent that Dylan is extremely turned on and feeling frisky, so I roll underneath him and face him. He instantly bends to claim my lips and then slides his hands up my body to grip my breasts firmly but gently, squeezing my nipples between the thumb and forefinger of each of his strong hands. “Yes!” I moan into his mouth and he takes advantage of the opportunity to deepen the kiss.I grind my crotch against his hard length
Dierdre The Lord of The Hunt…He is the estranged prince of the Spring Kingdom. His elder brother is the future king. But the Lord of The Hunt is a wildcard. No one is ever quite sure what to expect. I awakened in an elegant room within his forest palace. At first, I think I am alone and then he speaks. “Priestess, have you thought about my proposal or is that man in my dungeon your mate?” “I have a fated mate, of that I am certain,” I reply. “And you choose to ignore our bond?” “I told you already that when I meet my fated mate, we will return if it is in agreement that we see if my mate also feels the bond,” I reply. “I have yet to meet my mate.” “What if I am all the Mate you are promised?” He asks. “I have seen a vision with a wolf and Lycan, you are neither of those,” I reply. “Dierdre, please! Please, tell me you feel it!” He pleads. “I…I feel it, but…you were not in my vision,” I admit at last. “And the Wolf-Lycan man in my dungeon?” “He is having me guide him to one
Miguel The first two days we had to travel slowly as we passed through the dark region. The Bodkins entertained us both nights we were there and yesterday we crossed through what Dierdre called the Twilight Threshold into a very green and purple landscape that she informed me is The Spring Kingdom. We are going to a kingdom known as The Kingdom of Nod…Chimera Fae and dream sprites are the most prominent species after The High Elves that are present in nearly every realm. I have been learning about the realms and travel through this kingdom has been sped up by a bit of transportation magic. Dierdre explained that her Shadow Wolf Magic could allow her to travel through shadows and even bring me along, but that it is too unpredictable in this landscape. Tomorrow we will cross into The Summer Kingdom. The Kingdom of Nod is somewhere beyond the Kingdoms of The Four Seasons. This morning we saw our first Shrinking Violet. She was a pretty little Fae, but as she blushed a vibrant purple
Raiden The first few days without Miguel have been alright, but there is a restless energy that had Alpha Kaiya concerned enough to call the Lycan King for some support. Her half-brother, the Future Lycan King along with his mate, are set to arrive ahead of his father today. His father and some warriors will be arriving in the coming days, but they have a secret route. It is best not to alert the growing mass of Shades, Riders, and beasts that we have backup coming. Beta Amina (who I guess I can just call Amina since she is basically my sister in law) keeps us updated on everything so that we can remain safe and vigilant. I would feel better if I knew my twin and Miguel were safe, but there is no way for us to reach them where they are, or to know when they find one another. I know that the dream we had, or rather the vision, was of them, but we never reached them. “Today, I am taking all three of you shopping for maternity clothes,” Lena announces as she enters the living room,
Miguel The sorceress…priestess…Mage…whatever you want to call her, meets me in the foyer of the Packhouse on the morning of our departure. “I suppose we ought to get to know one another since I will be bringing you into the realm of the fae and my magic combined with your muscle will be our primary defenses against anything foul. I am Deirdre, the half sister of your Alphas, Ace and Dylan. I am a priestess and half mage with both werewolf and Lycan blood,” the young, dark haired woman states as she shakes my hand. “I am Miguel. I too am part Lycan and I chose to join my small pack to the pack of your brothers and their mates, giving up my title as Alpha to strengthen both of our packs. I am a skilled fighter, but hope we don’t come into too many perils with my mates all counting on me to return in one piece,” I reply. “I really wish you would take someone else along with you,” Alpha Dylan says to his younger sister. “That can not be done. Miguel will be fine as he is seeking one
Lena It’s the last full moon before Miguel goes into the realm of the fae to try to find our other mate, Raiden’s long lost twin. I will be here with all of our pregnant mates. I know my fighting skills aren’t as great as Rita’s or Raiden’s, but I will do everything in my power to keep them safe. With the full moon rising, I can feel the heat and rut cycle beginning to take over, so all other thoughts will be set aside. I work to get dinner ready for myself and my mates. Antony is by my side, preparing the salad and making us dessert. His sweet face is turning rosy and I can tell from his looks that he can smell my rising arousal. He won’t go into heat, but he will get horny with the rest of us. The bond will ensure that. Of the four mates I have currently, three are pregnant and deliciously glowing with their pregnancies. “We’ll have to hope you don’t also get pregnant,” Miguel says from behind me. “At least not until I have returned.” “If I do, I know our pack will do their
Tobias Being a newly awakened pregnant Lycan is strange at best. I am hungry or horny often and now it’s the full moon. So both of my mates will be giving off sexy feromones which makes me even more horny. Gah! I just realized that my younger sister is going through this very same thing at the moment, only she has more mates than I do! That is mortifying. I need to put the entire thought out of my head. It’s bad enough that I can’t train while pregnant so I am overthinking things. “Tobias, stop overthinking. Talk to me if you need to,” Amina says, looking up from the report she is reading. “Or, if it helps you to get out of your head, read over one of these reports for me and see what you can discern from it. Maybe a fresh set of eyes will help me gain a new perspective on this situation.”I stop pacing and sit on the sofa in her office with one of the reports. SHe has been over these a dozen times. It’s the reports flooding in from all over the country about The Riders and The Sh
Damien I don’t mind helping carry things and put them all in the correct rooms of the new house. I don’t even mind putting the furniture together with Miguel. But when we are all done and Miguel sits down to talk with me and voices his concerns, it feels…different. It’s like he really is embracing me as family, which I know we are since he is mated to my mates’ sisters, but I still often feel like an outsider. “While I’m gone, can you please keep an eye on them for me. I know you are training Lena, and Rita and Raiden can both fight, but with them pregnant, I just…Lena can’t protect three pregnant mates alone,” Miguel sighs. “After the full moon, I’m heading out to find Raiden’s twin and birth giving parent.” “We knew that, but I really hope it goes well and you come back soon. I will watch out for them and I will continue training Lena,” I reply. “Afterall, we are family and family takes care of one another.” I don’t know what else I can say. It’s not like I can assure him they
Sorry I disappeared, I have had some major family stuff happen, but will resume updates in the coming weeks. They may only be 2 or 3 per week for now, but I am aiming to work back up to daily updates. I didn't mean to leave everyone hanging and I have to catch up on where in the story I am so that I can continue from there. Hopefully, some of the stuff getting in the way of me writing will be handled more permanently soon.Thank you for your patience in the meantime.I believe I have less than 20 chapters left in part 2 (give or take depending on how long some scenes take to write) then we will be moving on to part 3. So far part 2 has gone in directions I didn't forsee when I first planned it, but I like where it has gone better than the original plan. I fully intend parts 3 and 4 to be packed with action and more surprises. And hope to finish the book by the end of June or July.
Amina Today is moving day. Damien, Tobias and I are helping Lena and her mates move into their new home. As we drop the children off in the nursery with the other young ones I nod at Kaiya when she mindlinks me that she has noticed how unsettled Xavier has become when he isn’t near Amal. Both have increased their tantrums and upset when apart over the last several weeks. I am uncertain how we can fix it without making a permanent space for the kids to have as their space, maybe the suite they stay in during our heat and rut cycles needs to be their nursery and all of our children will move into that space and have one or two of us or permanent sitters there with them. I know my mother would gladly permanently help raise her grandchildren. Xavier’s concern for his little mate’s safety is heartwarming, but it leaves me with a feeling in the pit of my stomach. The heir is worried about a war we know is coming, but have never told him about. I steady my mind and focus on the task at
