Devon Nate and I had literally been here for three or four hours when dad shouted over our link that Emerald was in the hospital. Of course, I first thought that something had attacked the pack or someone, and she protected them. -Emerald is in labour. You two need to get your asses back here now-Dad -We are on the way-Me -How is she doing?-Nate -They just gave her an epidural, so she is better, but you two need to be here-Dad “Sorry Uncle Jackson,” I say. “No worries. Now let’s get you two back so you can be there when those boys are born.” Uncle Jackson states. The door to Uncle Jackson’s office slams open, and there stands Aunt Penelope. She yells at us to get out of here now and return to Emerald. None of us argues with her. Aiden, Gavin, Greg, Nate, and I take off running. Literally, we all shift and run back to the pack hospital. We are just outside where dad and Lance meet us with clothes to put on. We all shift back and pull the clothes on. Dad says that E
Nate This was not how I was expecting this day to turn out when we left for Uncle Jackson’s. I could tell Emerald was not feeling well, but she was also eight months pregnant. We had only been there a few hours when dad yelled at us through our link about Emerald going into labour. That shut all of us real quick. None of us knew what to do until Aunt Penelope slammed open the door and basically threw us out. “Well this was definitely not expected,” Devon says. “No, it wasn’t,” I said. The two of us are looking at our two newborn boys, and surprise, they are hiding a sweet little secret behind them. Those two kept a very big secret from us. They were hiding a sweet little girl. So our twins turned into triplets. “I knew there was something strange about their auras; I just couldn’t figure out what it was,” Rich exclaims. He had been saying for the last four months that their auras were strange but that he couldn’t tell us why. He made sure to tell us that it was nothi
Alpha Jason For fuck sake, there is something wrong with that woman. We all look up when we hear a loud, high-pitched squeal. I look up, and Jackson and Penelope are standing in the doorway to my office. I have little Emyria in my arms, while Devon has Nicolas in his arms. Dustin is in Nilan’s arms. For some reason, he is fascinated with Nilan. My ears are ringing from her squealing. “Hey,” I state. “OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO FUCKING ADORABLE,” Penelope screams. Jackson has sat down beside Devon and is holding Nicolas. He is rolling his eyes at his wife and her ridiculousness. “I WANT ONE,” Penelope screams. I think Jackson almost dropped Nicolas when she said this. I am pretty sure his heart stopped. We all look at her, and I am pretty sure she has lost her fucking mind. Not that she couldn't have another child but still. “Mom, stop screaming; we are all in the same room,” Aiden tells her. Penelope has taken little Emyria from me and is snuggling her close. I see h
Nalena I knew from the moment that we were shown Seraphina’s picture something was wrong. Something just kept digging into the back of my mind. There was something about her that seemed so familiar. I let it go for a few weeks, but something kept bringing me back to her picture. I went to visit my father's side of the family about three weeks ago. Dad was happy to see me. He had always hated most of my mom's side of the family, even before the whole Emerald thing. My dad’s father was a vampire, and his mother was a witch. He kept that secret from mom's side of the family because they were weird when it came to hybrids. I think if they had known his father was a vampire and from one of the oldest covens, they would have sucked up to him. Honestly, mom even disowned most of the family after all that shit with Emerald and her parents went down. I was still in very close contact with them. Dad had moved back with the coven after mom had died. “You know her don’t you?” Alpha
Seraphina (Imani) I was very happy when Scott told me where we had moved to. I knew mom had a cabin in that area. She went to see a friend three or four years ago and returned with a young girl. This young girl turned out to be a fairly powerful witch that had been sold to my mother by her family. I thought that was absolutely horrible. Seriously I had no idea what type of family sold its members, but it was not my concern. I had told mom about what happened ten years ago. She was upset with me but also had a plan. I knew I needed to try and seduce the vampire king Vaccaro. It was really not that bad of a deal. He is drop-dead gorgeous. From the start of our relationship, he made it clear that we were just fuck buddies. I, however, made sure to run off any woman that showed interest in him. This issue arose when he showed interest in some human girl. I have to admit she is beautiful and I swear I have seen her before. “I still can’t believe we found our mates,” Alayni
Ryder I was ecstatic when Seraphina’s mom told us that Emerald was pregnant. I was even more thrilled when she told us that she had triplets. I was a little disappointed when I found out that the babies wouldn’t be as powerful as their mothers. When Alaynia told us what Emerald truly was, I was amazed and shocked. I am positive that dad didn’t even know this. This made me even more determined to get her. I started trying to figure out how to get her and those kids, but then Seraphina’s mom brought up the fact that we only needed the little girl and her mother. “I took a walk around the border today. They have increased security.” Scott commented. “That is not surprising. They have the next alpha’s and a little princess to protect now.” I remark. “Ryan is back visiting as well. His mate Lyra is pregnant.” Scott adds. “That makes things more complicated,” I state. Scott tells me that he is going to talk to his friends within the pack and see if he can find out exactly wh
Malachi “Took you long enough to get here,” I said. “Sorry, but apparently the witches are still a tad irked with me.” Xindi states. “Just couldn’t leave well enough alone.” I point out. “It’s hard to leave well enough alone when you’re a man whore.” Emerald remarks. This comment makes all of us turn to her. She is sitting there on the floor with the triplets. She isn’t even looking at us. I do see a smirk on her face. Xindi glares at her, but she does speak the truth. Xindi is my cousin and one of my best friends but he is a huge player. He was playing around with the daughter of a powerful warlock. She thought they were serious while he was just having fun. I know he makes it clear to the girls when they first meet, so I have no doubt that this girl thought she could change him. He is going to be in for a real shock when he meets his mate. “I missed you so much, cousin,” Xindi says to Emerald. “Of course you did. Everyone misses me.” Emerald states. I roll my
Xindi I hate being right, especially about this. I have only been here two days, and shit hit the fan late last night. At around ten last night Alpha Hendirx’s pack the Forest Moon pack was attacked by rogues. Sort of; they were actually some of Ryder’s guys. They somehow caught the pack off guard, and Alpha Hendrix was killed. His mate and their three kids and a large number of the pack crossed Jason’s border to find sanctuary. Of course, he took them with no questions asked. “Well, I guess they finally got the pack they wanted,” Jason growled. “This means they have a legitimate claim over the land now. They are way too close for comfort.” Draven states. “Actually this might work to our benefit. Before any of you say anything. I don’t mean the attack. This means we know where he is now. He is no longer in hiding.” I point out. “He has a strong point,” Helm says. “Plus in all the chaos last night I was able to capture a few of the rogues. I also captured Alaynia.”
Epilogue 2 Chris “Are there any more children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren we should know about?” Aphrodite asked. “No.” All the men say. “Thank god.” Athena states. “What about all you women? Any of you have any offspring we should be aware of?” Poseidon asked. “Nope.” They all answered as one. I watch as my sisters roll their eyes. After the recent events and all we, the three of us, decided that a family meeting was in order. This is the first, and I am sure it will be the last time that my sisters willingly schedule a family meeting. Mykayla and Emerald are both here as well. It has been a year since all that shit went down, and the three of us decided to take a journey to all the realms and make sure everyone was behaving. We visited the dark fae, and let me tell you; they were scared shitless. While my sisters take a great thrill in scaring people, I don't, but after this, I even enjoyed scaring the dark fae. The three of us have pretty much left the
Epilogue Devon It’s been six months since that day and everything has returned to normal. Well as normal as this pack can get. I guess Dustin was right when he said crazy shit happens within this alliance. I look down when I hear a small cry and smile. I am holding my one-week-old daughter. Emerald was pregnant when she took on those fuckers. She had no idea since she didn’t have any signs or symptoms. In fact, she had no idea she was pregnant until we rushed her to the hospital a week ago and she gave birth to our second little princess, whose name is Katyryia. She has mine and Nate’s eyes and hair the colour of the night. It is also extremely curly. I have no idea where she got the curly hair. A few of the guys joked that she wasn’t ours, but Nate and I know that Emerald would never cheat on us so we aren’t concerned. “I would still like to know where this dark curly hair came from.” Mom said. “That’s easy from me.” A man says. We all turn around to see the triplets
Malachi I had no idea what we should do. We had a dozen women, not including Payton, Pytheria, and Violet, from several different species in the truck. I knew we needed to get to the main part of the complex now but we also couldn’t leave these women. Not with what they had been through. “Well take them, go help, Emerald,” Jailynn yells. Jailynn, Daniylla, and Leah had appeared and were dealing with the women. The five of us started running towards the complex. I knew with everything happening that they wouldn’t even notice us coming. I knew that Emerald’s powers were starting to come out when the weather started getting shitty. The air was getting more electric as well. I look back and all of them are gone. As we get closer the air around the place complex becomes thicker and colder. I also noticed that the ground was getting soggy. I smile because I know that Emerald has an affinity for water. I am not surprised that she is making the ground melt and become soggy and
Emerald Seriously this still looks like the same dump as last time. The whole area looks like shit. Well, that is what they want anyone who comes snooping around to think. I know it is a bunch of bullshit. I close my eyes and say a few words then open them. Just as I thought, they were using magic to conceal the fact that they have rebuilt this facility and what they are currently using it for. I roll my eyes. As if their magic works on me. Please not even close. I sit on a rock that overlooks the whole area watching what is going on. I have been here since last night and noticed that they seemed to disappear once they got close to the broken-down fence line. That was their shitty magic at work. I have decided to watch them for a few days and see what they are up to. There are several of those creatures lurking around as their guard dogs. Of course, none of them knows that I am here. I also know that they have recently moved the girls to a new location at the centre of
Pytheria I feel like shit and have for the last two weeks. That is how long that Payton, Violet, and I have been locked in this fucking place. They are moving us today for some unknown reason. I had seen Vincent and his wife when I first arrived so I knew what I originally thought was true. I also noticed that she and the head hybrid were exceptionally close. I have a very high suspicion that she and Vincent weren’t really mates. I think she cast some sort of spell on him to make him think that she was his mate. I noticed that Payton has been looking pale the last week as well. I am beginning to think that the two of us might be pregnant, but until we can get out of here and pee on a stick we won’t know for sure. I don’t want to bring this up to her. I also don’t want any of these slimy fuckers even thinking that we might be pregnant. Who knows what they would try and do to us then? “What if they come back?” Violet asked. “Then they come back. They can’t touch us for wh
Emerald I knew once I got them back in Europe this would be easy. I have spent enough time here that I know his whole continent by heart. I have been to every little town and corner, from coast to coast and north to south. There is literally nowhere in Europe I haven’t been. I knew exactly which compound they were talking about the minute Zavian described it. I had followed a few guys that I had seen slinking around France back to it. I had noticed them watching one of the local packs and covens closely, so I knew they were up to no good. I was right. They tried to kidnap the alpha’s daughter and the coven leader’s, son. I stopped it and followed them back to the compound in Russia. I knew they were supernatural creatures back then, but I couldn’t figure out what kind. Of course, that was when I was 18, and I had no idea that elves were even in our realm. I had heard some terrible sounds coming from one of the smaller buildings, and I am guessing that was where they were m
Nate I should have known she was planning something but with everything going on this last week or so. Looking back now nothing was out of the norm for her to do. She was taking care of our three little terrors and running the shop along with Nalena. Devon did make the comment that she and Nalena had been doing a lot of shopping lately but I thought it was for the shop. I sit here looking through the credit card statements but there is nothing. She must have paid with cash for anything she bought. “How long has she been gone?” Ryan asked. “We all went to bed last night. I hadn’t seen her this morning after getting up before her.” Devon says. “We thought that she was just at the shop. When Tyler came back and asked where Emerald was we both thought he was crazy. We figured that she was in the back doing something and that he just didn’t see her.” I add. “I only noticed about an hour ago when I went looking for her in our room that her backpack was gone. I also found a
Jax These last 24 hours have been a total shit show. First Payton, Pytheria, and Violet were taken. Then we received a letter stating that they would be returned if we gave Emerald to them. This of course pissed off Devon and Nate. I mean we are all pissed that they are trying to negotiate with us. We will get the other girls back without handing Emerald over to them. “How fucking stupid do they think we are?” Nate growls. “They must know that there is no way in fucking hell that we are going to negotiate with them,” I add. “They think they have the upper hand because they have three women that they know we will do anything to get back. Remember they wanted Violet from the start and Payton for who her mother was and where she comes from. I still can’t fathom why they want Pytheria. She really holds no real meaning to them.” Xindi points out. “That is not true,” Marcus says. We all turn and look at him. He has his computer in front of him and is typing away. “I did
Dax Emerald is up to something. She has been acting weird for the last week ever since Zavian was here. That meeting was hilarious. I kinda felt sorry for Zavian, but I can admit that those two scare the fucking crap out of me. Rye even told me and Jax that was just a sample of what they can be like when they are pissed. Chris and the guys told us about and showed up what can happen when his sisters are pissed. We saw what happened to those fuckers that kidnapped Jordyn, Dominick, and Xaydyn when they were little. Those assholed deserved everything they got but to see it made me realize that there is a very valid reason to be terrified of those two. I watch as Emerald hands the three terrors off to Tylynn as she and Nalena leave for their shop. “Do you think she is planning something?” Jax asked. “Yes, I do think she is planning something. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nalena knows what is going on.” I answer. Jax nods his head in agreement. After several long talks Emera
