Zion's story is next in line. The book after that will feature Kalamar, his Queen, and Kings.
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
KALENOur blissful break from school was over and done with. I would love nothing more than to test out of it just to escape the tsunami of rumors and drama. I had never been someone who enjoyed that type of chaos.Plus, there was plenty already on our plates to deal with. We had a homicidal lunatic on the run who was teaming up with demonic scum. They shared the same goal – total carnage so that only they remained on top.I was certain that Calvin was only a pawn to Draxthi and would kill him where he stood without a single fuck to give. However, that honor was reserved for either Maddox or me.Goddess, I could slice Calvin’s throat for what he had done to my mate over the years. Maddox never saw his strength. He felt broken and weak, which was exactly what Calvin wanted him to feel like because if he was then he would be pliable. He would be the perfect pawn to utilize when dirty work needed to be done. Only a strong warrior could have survived everything that he did.Since Maddox wa
MADDOXNika had opened up her mind to Neo when Kalen was confronting the dipshit bimbos because she knew that we would get a kick out of it. He had then opened up his mind to me as well. Goddess, it was so fucking satisfying to watch.They had been lying off of their asses. First of all, I had never gone down on anyone at this academy except for Beauty.I really hoped that she would enjoy the date tonight. I had put a lot of thought into it, and Neo gave his input. I would wine and dine her at some point, but our very first date was going to appeal to her competitive nature. It was not just paintball because that would be too easy. Nah, this was nighttime paintball. I had actually never played paintball, but I have heard that it was a lot of fun. Adding in the nighttime part of it all would make it even more interesting.I was talking to Cooper downstairs at the packhouse while I waited for Beauty to join me. Ever since that night at dinner, Cooper had warmed up to me because he came t
KALENIt was Friday night, so we were on our way to Luxe Temptation.He had been trying his damnedest to get hints but had still been unsuccessful. The anticipation was simply adding fuel to the fire that would end up exploding later on tonight.Honestly, I could not wait to see his reaction when he finally realized what our destination was going to be because it would be interesting to see. I was secure enough in our mateship to know that he only had eyes for me. The entire point of going there was so that I could give him a private dance while also letting him get to know the people who worked there since what was mine was also now his. Luxe Temptation was just one of those things.I had told him to dress in something sexy for me, which was exactly what he ended up doing. He was wearing a pair of black jeans that he knew made my mouth water with how sexy it made him look. He paired it with a white button-down shirt that showed off his impressive physique and sexy tattoos. The top thr
MADDOXI followed Suzie as she led me through the club. There was plenty of seating around the various stages. Dancers were working the poles with a grace that not every dancer could accomplish. They had the audience completely entranced, which would earn them and the club great cash.There was also a dance floor where singles, couples, and groups were enjoying the music and free atmosphere. No fucking wonder that this place was so fucking successful. Honestly, I never would have guessed that the doors to this club had only been open for six months because success poured out of every damn corner of this place. Suzie and Beauty should be super fucking proud of what they have accomplished here.“Who do we have here?” a chick asked as she leaned against the wall.There was a blatant perusal of me, to which she found satisfactory if the lustful look that she flashed me was any indication. However, that meant nothing to me because she was not Beauty. Before Beauty came along, I would have p
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
