JACKSON When I was a teenager, my father had told me something that stuck with me all of these years. ‘There is nothing that I wouldn’t do to protect your mother. If I failed to protect her then there was nothing that I wouldn’t do to ensure that it didn’t happen again.’ Often times, I thought how foretelling it was that I met Imeela in the midst of a fight for survival. She was brave, strong, and fierce. Those three qualities never diminished at all but did become even more defined as the years flew by. There had been nine different attempts on her life, which included this one as well. Each time, however, filled me with even more fury. My mate was the kindest person you would ever meet. She genuinely cared for everyone who was not a fucking douchebag. She wanted nothing more than to see people thrive. Her enemies felt that was the weakness that they could exploit. How very wrong they were. On the contrary, the care that she exhibited towards others was what would make her fight u

IMEELA I had been filled in on what we had missed at Nightshade when we went to capture Cezar, and it was rough. Ziyah had previously had a vision where a woman was strung up and held prisoner. It was narrowed down to either Brynn or Elle since the asshole wanted the complaints against him erased from the Supernatural Council’s database. While we were gone, she had another vision that showed Elle being that woman. However, the Goddess of Fate showed her how to save Elle. It was to glamour herself as Elle and fall into the trap they had set. Apparently, the torture would kill a wolf but not Fae. Being shot by Cezar actually gave me a great idea for additional protection. Implanting capsules of my blood that would break apart if it was necessary. Precoza blood was far more potent than typical vampire blood. This could provide her with an extra layer of security. My idea was ran by Nightshade’s Gabriel who was the lead inventor of their weapon’s division. He had created similar ideas

JACKSON I was lying in wait for Imeela to come into our bedroom. Juggling responsibilities, family life, and everything else that was on our plates left us needing to find time that we could sneak for ourselves. Despite everything on our shoulders, our mateship was solid. We took time each and every day to ensure that we showed our love for each other. She and Zeus went on runs nearly every night as well. I had heard all about the mate-bond growing up, but I never truly understood it until I experienced it for myself. Imeela was more than just half of my soul because it felt like she was all of it. She was the light to my dark and the hope to my despair. Was that cheesy? Perhaps, but it did not make it any less true. The door creaked open, halting my inner monologue. In she walked with her nose buried in a book. She had a thing for steamy supernatural romances. It was not surprising that most got everything wrong, but there were some authors who were supernaturals that got it righ

IMEELAWe had been worried about getting pregnant after we lost our angel because we carried around so much guilt over it. We were afraid of something happening all over again that would take away another child. The guilt drowned us for quite some time.Cyrus had been a blessing in disguise because he made us realize that we had allowed that fear and guilt to rule our lives and take away the joys of expanding our family. We decided that we would never allow the what-ifs to dictate our lives ever again because the truth of the matter was that they would always be there. A million different threats could loom over us at any given time. We could not live underneath that crushing weight.I was completely taken aback when the bloodwork showed that I was pregnant. It should not have been possible with how young Cyrus was. Vampire pregnancies were spaced further apart with each time. That was just how our species worked.Cali was with me earlier and let me in on a little fun fact. Precozas di

IMEELA I still could not get the latest meeting at Nightshade out of my head. There was so much that we learned. Essentially, there had been a covert mission where Ziyah had to glamour herself as Elle, knowing that she would be abducted and potentially tortured. The Goddess of Fate had shared with her that it was the only way to save Elle because it would be lethal to a shifter but not Fae. It was explained that the cuffs that had been used on her was infused with black magic and were meant to kill the wolf spirit before slowly killing the human side. The fucked-up man behind it all was Alpha Cameron of the Forest Trails pack out there in South Carolina. Dahlia worked her magic and hacked into his shit. That was when she found a direct link between him and Slide-X. The Council had been trying to track them so that we could shut them the fuck down, but we had never been able to find a credible trace until now. They were an entity that had a corner market in both supernatural organ

JACKSONI was currently sparring with Santiago. He was a great opponent because his training and heritage really made him really fucking lethal when he wanted to be. Thankfully, he liked me enough to allow my continued breathing.It only took training with vampires for about four months before I could keep up with them entirely speed wise. Strength was a different matter because there was a biological difference between our species. However, sealing the bond with my girl gave me additional strength. I might not have been able to deck a vampire quite as hard as another one could, but it did not matter. I just had to be more strategic on when and where to hit. However, the blessing of strength that Hecate had given to me at the coronation and also the boost from being crowned King put me as close as possible to being at the level of vampires.My fist connected in an uppercut, causing Santiago to fly up and backwards with his ass landing on the ground.He just laid there, panting heavily.

IMEELAZiyah had called me earlier and said that she had something special for Lola that should help the most with her deafness.Lola was a blessing in disguise when we first met her. She had been through so much in her short life, but it proved that she was strong and resilient enough to soldier on and keep going. Her biggest hurdle in life was learning to navigate being deaf in a supernatural world.There were many shows and movies out there that show how easy it was to overcome that hurdle and still live a completely normal life. That might be how it worked for humans, but it was extremely dangerous for supernaturals. Our world was a chaotic one where we always had to look out for the dangers hiding in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.Lola was so fucking strong that it made us incredibly proud of her.

Design of Fate Author's Note
To all of my amazing readers, I am happy to tell you that “Destined Alpha of Change” is now officially up on the app and ready to begin being read. Now, onto other important matters. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for how much support you have given me throughout these books. I love reading all of your comments, whether they were negative or positive, and use them to help shape the story as it evolves. Jackson and Imeela’s story was one story that I could not begin to write. I know that not everyone was thrilled during Theo’s story when Jackson took Brynn’s side after the rejection. However, it just showed the type of man that he was. The one who would help protect those who needed it, just like he did with Brynn. One thing that many of you had mentioned was that you enjoyed the species integration seen throughout this book and the Fated series. We will see the byproduct of that during the Legacies of Destiny series. Kalen’s story will be the first one, followed by

SNEAK PEEK – “DESTINED ALPHA OF CHANGE”– KALENLater on in life, I would look back and wonder how I survived what I willingly threw myself into.Visions led me down this path. They were warnings of what was to come. A single person was going to be the spark that ignited the fire that would destroy everything that I held dear. It would lead to countless graves. The peace that our world experienced would be wiped away, leaving nothing but pain and chaos in its wake.The only way to prevent this was for me to identify the supernatural that was aiding him. My visions only showed me this one path to potential success. Yes, I said potential. If I succeeded, then it would save everyone and everything. However, it could very well be my demise.The plan unfolded where I would create my own trap to catch his attention. It worked like a charm, and that was how I ended up in this make-shift dungeon cell. He really spent too much time watching B-rated horror films.I lost track of how long I had

EMILIOMy mind was a complete mess right now. I had a sleeping Princess cradled in my arms as I ran, searching for somewhere that was safe enough to rest.‘It is your duty to keep her safe. Run and do not look back. There will come a day when she returns here to avenge us, but it will be when she is older. We have every faith in you when it comes to protecting one of the most important gifts that we have ever been given and will never be able to express just how much we appreciate it. We have always loved you like a son, so let me give you one last piece of advice. Do not harbor guilt for leaving instead of fighting alongside the coven because you are protecting the future of our kind. That is the most important mission that has ever existed.’Those were his parting words. As much as he said not to harbor guilt… it was easier said than done. Instead of focusing on that, I focused on the fact that it was my duty as her personal bodyguard to always do what was necessary to protect her.J

LOLAI had been different my entire life. Not being able to hear anything made life hard. That was why Mom taught me ASL and how to read lips. It did not always help, but it did help sometimes. Mom and Dad were my only sources of consistency, but even that did not last.We were always moving around. They never told me why, but I had the feeling that it was because of me. Dad was a special kind of vampire, and Mom was an Elemental dragon. I might be young, but I understood what that meant for me.Sadly, we could not outrun every danger. Vampires caught up with us. Mom and Dad fought them off with everything they had. They took down many of the vampires. Then something hit my head, and I blacked out. I came to and saw my parent’s dead bodies next to me.My heart broke because I was all alone now. They would never be able to tell me another bedtime story. I would never ride on Mom’s dragon form again. There would never be another opportunity to tell them that I loved them.Lost in my sadn

JACKSON At the same conference as Epilogue 1 – I could not be any prouder of Lola as I watched her get everything prepared for her presentation. She worked her ass off to get to where she was at right now in life. Nothing held her back, and nothing slowed her down. It had been hard for her at first because she desired to be independent, but not everyone could communicate with her and vice versa. My amazing mate was the one who could break through her barriers and encourage her to get right back up. I had never seen Lola happier than when Ziyah had given her the hearing aids that she created for her years back. Lola was born deaf, so she never had the opportunity to hear people speak to her or around her. She never had the ability to listen to the sounds of nature. While she could not do anything for the second part, Ziyah had been able to fix it to where the words were picked up by the devices and then sent as a mindlink. A lot of attention to detail was found in how they worked.

IMEELASix years later –I checked my appearance one last time just to make certain that I looked presentable for the supernatural conference that we were attending.The pencil dress came to my knees. The top was white with a notched neck and three-quarters sleeves. The bottom was black with strips of black and white crisscrossing the waist. My hair was pulled into a low side bun with my newly designed diadem.Honestly, I hated wearing the crown in public, which this conference was, but our normal diadems were not official enough, according to our Cabinet, so we designed new ones that were more official looking. They were more pronounced with the Precoza crest designed within it.I opted for a natural look with my makeup, so it just highlighted my features. Luckily, my mates did not care if I wore makeup or not because it was not something that I cared about either.“You look beautiful, Mom,” Zion said from behind me.I turned around and smiled at my handsome son.
