More abilities up next. If you're enjoying their journey, please leave a review on the main book page. I truly appreciate all of your support.
MADDOX I closed my eyes again and focused on my desire to find my abilities. It took a couple of minutes of focus before anything happened. This time, there was a yellow blip. It did not seem to be connected to anything in particular. There was only one way to figure out what this did. I imagined pulling the yellow blip to me. My eyes opened just in time to see a yellow bolt shoot from the ceiling to the floor in front of me. It startled me, making my body jump backwards. Holy fucking hell. That was a lightning bolt. I turned around and met their shocked gazes. Beauty’s shocked look lasted less than a minute before mischievousness took its place. I was certain that she and Nika were already tossing around some great ideas when it came to interrogation techniques. I would have to say that there was plenty of potential there. “That’s fascinating. The lightning materialized instead of being pulled down from the sky like elementals would have to do. See if you can pushed it out to the
KALEN ‘Why don’t you and your mate come to my office?’ Mom linked me, sounding worried. I looked at the clock and realized that we still had some time before Maddox’s trial run at Inkfinity to see if he had what it took to design there. He was really nervous because he had never put his work out there like this before. His designs had always been private or created for some people that he tattooed. Not only would I get my man’s artwork tattooed onto me, but it was also being used as his trial run. It was his abstract phoenix design that would end up going along my side. Orange, red, black, blue, and silver were the colors that he chose to utilize. I was so damn ecstatic. ‘Coming,’ I told her. “Mom wants us to head over to her office. I’m not entirely certain why, but she sounded worried,” I explained to my mate. Maddox wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled my neck. He placed a loving kiss over his mark. It was something he did every time he had me in his arms. It was his p
MADDOXI had been over the fucking moon when it came to being offered a slot at Inkfinity.Having a future and a dream was never something that I could allow myself to hope for as I got older. I had convinced myself that nothing good would ever happen to me. It was one reason why I sought instant gratification in all things.Everything changed when my path crossed with a certain green-eyed beauty. She came into my life like a cyclone, twisting, and turning it all upside down. It felt like I had always seen my life through frosted glass, but she buffered it so that I could see clearly.I remembered a quote from John Joseph Powell that really fit the shift in my life.‘It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.’Looking down at this amazing woman that I was lucky enough to be fated to, I would never be able to thank the Goddess enoug
MADDOX “Like you would ever let me forget about you,” she deadpanned. “I’m in need of some information that apparently only you would have. What do you say from leader to leader? Would you be willing to help out?” she asked hopefully. He hummed in thought and let out a soft chuckle after a moment. That made her pinch the bridge of her nose. I grabbed her hand and placed a kiss onto the back of it. That caused her to flash me a sexy smile. “I know what answers you need. I’ll come and give them to you, but I need you to do something for me. Keep your mate from destroying my handsome face. I’m still searching for my mates, and I don’t want the goods damaged. You never know when they will turn up. See you in a few.” She stared at the phone curiously once the call disconnected, clearly confused about his request. How did he know that she had met her mate, and why the fuck would he be worried about me attacking him? I was hotheaded at times but never attacked unless there was a good fu
KALENWho would have that that Kalamar would be intertwined in all of this already?Kalamar and I had met randomly one day, but perhaps it was fate after all. The Supernatural Council had get-togethers where leaders and future leaders of any species could attend and build connection.He stood apart from all of the rest. Some people had tried to speak with him, but I was the only one that he had opened up to. I had immediately deduced that he was a dragon, a powerful one at that, but I did not speak to him simply because of that but because of his personality.Kalamar was a perpetual flirt with certain individuals. I was one of them, but he knew that I was waiting for my mate. He had a short list of people that he could stand, and I was thankfully on that list.I knew that he was a dragon hybrid, but I never knew what type he was or his rank. Rank was never a concern of mine. He was going to become the King of his kind, bringing his people back into the light and out of the shadows. The
KALAMAR I was not the most personable individual. I cared about those who were close to me and who were genuine. I detested fakeness with a fucking passion. The day that I met Kalen, I knew that she was special. Not only was she genuine, but I could tell that she would be important in my future. Dragons often had a sixth sense. Mystic Dragons had an even stronger sense. I knew what was going on the moment that she called me. Our paths were converging in the most unexpected way. Maddox Stark, son of the illustrious Calvin Stark, was someone that I wanted to help but fate warned me against intervening. He would be freed when the time came all because of his mate. Santuario del fuoco was where our people came from. It was Italian for ‘Sanctuary of Fire’ and lived up to its name. My ancestors’ thunder was a home for those who needed it no matter what their species was. A dragon’s fire was one of the most potent defense mechanisms that it had. That was how the name came about. Our nu
KALENA lot of shit has happened lately. It seemed that there was always something drawing our focus, something else needed to be dealt with.Draxthi and Calvin needed to be dealt with, but we had to develop a concrete plan where we had the advantage. Each component was placed onto a metaphorical gameboard. It was necessary to figure out which ones needed to go where.Kalamar told me that there were fourteen dragons, six powerful witches, and three vampire/dragon hybrids that would be fighting along with us. That was great news because dragons were really damn lethal. Mystics would increase that lethality a lot. Plus, they were trained harshly because their lives were filled with danger.One vow that I made to the universe was that these people would find the peace that they deserved. I would do everything within my power to make that happen.Mystra’s thunder would also aid us. There were ten dragons from her thunder who would stand with us. There were many females who were expecting,
MADDOXI had a satisfied grin on my face as we made our way back to the suite.She was blushing her ass off, but I could feel her own satisfaction running through the bond. There was a naughty little minx inside of her that was gaining freedom the longer that we were together.Beauty always had to be in control at all times, knowing that she would become Dark Moon Alpha one day. There had been a heaviness that always pressed down upon her shoulders. Being a female Alpha made it necessary to develop a thick skin but also guard herself tightly. Now, she was learning how to spread her wings and fly, knowing that I would be right here to fly beside her. She was no longer alone. Yes, she had plenty of people growing up, but she never had a soul connection like we had – someone who saw all of her, accepted all of her, and loved the fuck out of every single bit of her.This was not the first time that we had been overheard and no doubt not the last time either. Could you really blame us thoug
To all of my amazing readers,First and foremost, I want to thank you for all of your amazing support with this book and all of the others that came before it.“Destined Alpha of Change” has actually been one of my favorite books to write because of both Kalen and Maddox. She is such a strong warrior that can stand against any foe no matter what it will cost her. However, there is also such a vulnerability that she hides underneath her armor. It is something that she does not allow herself to acknowledge until her armor is ripped right off of her. She had every right to walk away from Maddox, but she knew how wrong that was. Her vulnerability saw his, and it called out for her to protect him even if he did not know that he needed it or wanted it.Maddox began as a character that you would like to deck, but there was so much that he hid away from the world. Being raised by someone like Calvin would definitely leave both metaphorical and physical scars. Kalen realized that she needed him
VIOLETI stood at the cliff’s edge and watched as the sun peeked over the horizon, painting the sky a plethora of colors. It normally signified the beginning of a new day, but today it signified a possible beginning of the end.Life had not been easy. There was always a fight occurring. It was Mom fighting for us in the beginning. Then it was me fighting for my sister once Mom was gone. Now, it was me fighting for them both.It was crazy to think about how much my life had changed since that night – the night when I learned the truth.I once heard someone say, ‘people can’t change the truth, but the truth can change people.’ That quote stuck with me because it was simplistic yet had an unmistakable depth to it as well. The truth really did change me. Not only did I find out that a mere human was precisely what I was not, but I also found out that Mom didn’t actually die two years ago. Nope. She was betrayed by her husband and given over to a group of sadistic assholes who hunted supern
ZIONGrowing up, I was surrounded by love, warmth, affection, and strong bonds between those in my life.The bond with my father taught me about the man that I wanted to be – the one who fought for what was right no matter what that entailed. It also taught me about the mate that I wanted to be – the one who fought for my other half and was whatever she needed me to be in her life. She would be my Queen, both metaphorically and literally.The bond with both of my parents taught me all about the ruler that I wanted to be once I took my place as the next King to sit on the Precoza throne. I was incredibly proud of my heritage, both on the Precoza side as well as the Anderson side. I was proud to be a hybrid because it was the perfect blending of my parents and our family.The first time that I ever had a vision of my future mate was at the ripe young age of nine. It was the very first look that I got of her. I had no idea who she was or where to find her, but I knew that our paths would
KALENIt had been nearly impossible to keep this surprise away from my mate, but it was worth every bit of the sneaky ninja moves that I had to employ.Nadine and Delilah were tasked with keeping their father distracted while I drove us to our venue.He had tried his hardest in convincing me to share the surprise, but I was somehow able to keep my wits about me. I was a strong Alpha. I was embarrassed to admit that I almost gave in after eight mind-blowing orgasms in a row. I had been a quivering mess by that point. Thank fuck that I had retained a single cell of restraint.Nadine and Delilah were the only ones with us today. They were ten and seven respectively. Roman was five, and Harlow was three months old now. Those two were hanging out with Grammy and Pops. Mom and Dad were their first choices whenever they got to choose who to spend time with. My parents were very fucking smug about that too.I had been asked if we were done having pups. The answer was no. My mate and I wanted t
MADDOXIt was finally here – a day that I had been looking forward to for the past twenty-four years ever since Hades told Beauty what was going to happen. Today was the day that Beauty and I would be visiting Calvin in the Underworld.Some might assume that it was fucked up for someone to be excited to see their biological parent in an eternal prison that was reserved for the worst offenders within the supernatural world. I did not give a fuck about what those people thought because he fucking deserved eternal torment for everything that he had done in life. Not to mention that he had tortured my mate, and that simply served to intensify my murderous thoughts when it came to my sperm donor.Calvin was never a father to me. I highly doubted that there was even an ounce of empathy inside of him unless it was self-serving. He might not have been a father, but I did indeed have one. Theo had taken me under his wing and taught me what it meant to be a man, mate, father, and Alpha. He taugh
MADDOX(Eighteen years following Epilogue 1)Today was a day that we had been waiting for while also dreading at the same time because it showed that our little girl was finally ready to spread those wings of hers.Nadine was more than ready to become the next Alpha of Dark Moon. There was so much of Beauty in her. Our daughter was a true badass just like her mother. She was so fucking strong and so fucking resilient. I was incredibly proud to be her father.Before Beauty came into the picture, I had never allowed myself to imagine a future where I would have pups because I felt like a piece of shit that would destroy anything that I touched, including a mate and pups. However, my amazing mate brought me out of the darkness that had at one point consumed my entire life.“Dad, can you help me with my tie?” Roman asked.I finished tying my own first and turned around to smile at my son. He looked really fucking suave in his suit.“Sure thing, son.”My other son also popped on over to get

KALEN(Five years later)I rested back on my hands while I watched the beautiful sight in front of me. It was one that I saw often but never got tired of witnessing it.My amazing mate was playing tag with our daughter. Her peels of laughter floated along the wind. It warmed me just as much as the summer sun did.Nadine was definitely daddy’s girl, something that absolutely thrilled him. He was an incredible father, but I had never had a doubt that he would be.Sundays were family days for the three of us. It was our special bonding time and what we always looked forward to. Life got hectic, especially leading the pack and all of the programs that we were a part of. That was precisely why it was imperative that we took time to be with each other as well.“Daddy!” she squealed when he scooped her up in his strong arms.Damn. He was fucking fine and only got sexier as time went on. He still rocked a body that made me drool on a daily basis, and I was not ashamed of that truth.“That’s ri
KALENI had never felt sad to return how before. However, I was sad that our vacation had come to an end.Goddess, it was such an amazing experience! I could not have asked for a better travel buddy than my mate. Each destination had been thoroughly thought out and planned. He made certain to arrange all of the places that I had dreamed of visiting and even some that I had never heard about before.We had a blast. Our days and nights were filled with exploring. There was plenty of romance too. Both of us felt closer than ever before. It was amazing for us to get away from reality and immerse ourselves in a world away from everything. We were in our own little bubble.That was not to say that I did not miss anyone though because I did.“I was thinking about something,” my mate said from the seat beside me. I hummed, curious to see what was on his mind.We were about to land at the airport. We would pick up our luggage and head somewhere secluded where our literal disappearances would no
