Zavian I was there a couple of months before Emerald's grandfather passed away. He was the main person keeping the rest of the family at bay. They had already started planning how to get rid of Emerald, but he had found out. He was pissed. He confronted his wife and the rest of the family that was out to get rid of Cyreena and Emerald. Yes, they wanted to get rid of Cyreena as well. He had even brought in a secret weapon; Emerald's father was also there that night. Her grandfather had told him what the rest of the family had been planning. __FLASHBACK START__ “How dare you fucking plot against my wife and daughter,” Tyrone growled. “Son please, she is not good enough for you and that child is worthless. That child will cause all sorts of destruction. They are tearing this family apart.” His mother states. “The only ones tearing this family apart are you and your followers. If you go through with this then I will break all ties with this family and you will never see m
Vaccaro “I think we need to talk,” Sebastian says. He had just walked into my office and announced this. I raised an eyebrow at him as he sat down. I noticed he made sure to lock the door. He only did this if there was something serious he needed to talk about. I leaned back in my chair. I could tell he was nervous about this talk. “Ok what has gotten you all worked up?” I asked. “Two days ago a few of our guys were following some of Ryder’s men that they had been tracking. They were walking past a cafe when they noticed Zavian sitting there talking with someone.” Sebastian answers. He places a picture down on my desk, and I pick it up. What the actual fuck? The picture clearly shows Zavian sitting there talking with a woman. The woman is Emerald. The fact that she is sitting there laughing at something he said makes me worry. I look at Sebastian, and he is as confused about the two of them as I am. I have been trying to dig up any information on Zavian, but there is
Emerald I can’t believe this! Vaccaro, this asshole had me come here just to interrogate me. I am sitting across from him and his minion, Sebastian, as they stare at me. I am looking at a picture of Zavian and me. Vaccaro is holding it and giving me a look. “Are you fucking spying on me?” I asked. “No, two of the guys that I have out looking for Ryder and Scott were on their way back from following those two then they saw Zavian. They also noticed you sitting across from him.” Sebastian answered. “Sebastian came in here a few days ago wanting to talk and showed me this picture,” Vaccaro added. I am getting pissed. How dare these two take pictures of me without letting me know. I look at both of them and can see them waiting for me to explain. “There are only two reasons a woman meets another man….” Vaccaro says. “If you are implying that I am fucking around on Devon and Nate then I am going to end your fucking life now,” I growl at him. “Precious jewel then tell me
Alpha Jackson I swear, why can’t we just have a normal conversation? Aiden, Gavin, Greg, Mia, and I had come back to visit. Jason had also texted me saying that Emerald, Vaccaro, Vaydyn, and Calynia were back and wanted to talk with us. I had a feeling that it was about Ryder and Scott. Those two had been quiet as of late, and I felt they were planning something. So we arrived yesterday just as the others pulled up. Devon and Nate pulled Emerald into their arms, and I thought they were being a little dramatic, but then Jason told me that Emerald had been visiting Vaccaro and his family for the last week. I smiled at those boys. I understood; hell, I hated being away from Penelope longer than a day or two. I couldn’t even imagine being away from her for a whole week. Jason had been keeping us updated with everything they had found out. I had heard of this Zavian guy, but it was the same rumours that everyone else had heard. “Please tell me that I didn’t hear what I though
Devon I was not surprised to find out that she knew Zavian. For some reason when his name was brought up I could feel her body language change. She can hide it from the others, but since we marked her and she marked us we are able to feel each other’s emotions, and I could feel that this guy being around was not bothering her. I knew Nate felt that way also. I was sitting in the chair when she walked out in a pair of pyjama shorts and a tank top. Her small bump was showing through, and it made me smile. Marcel and Samuel had come back for this meeting. Marcel had brought a fae healer, and she had looked at Emerald along with Dr Crighton. The fae healer is a woman named Yvonnya. She is really nice and apparently has known Emerald since she was little. She also told us that she helped deliver Rich and then started telling us stories about when Rich, Emerald, Helm, Raven, Raidon, and Cal were little. Nate and I laughed at how one little girl could keep all these guys on their
Alpha Jason This was not who I expected when Emerald walked in with Zavian. I was expecting, as the kids say, some creepy old man. That is not what I saw following Emerald into my office. Zavian was my height, so 6’3”, with messy purple hair and bright lime green eyes. He has tattoos covering a large portion of his body and several facial piercings. I have no doubt that he has more under his clothes. I watch as Emerald takes her usual seat between my boys, and Zavain sits down not far from her. I can’t blame him for sitting close to the only person he knows here. He doesn’t seem nervous being here, which makes me uncomfortable. “Stop being an asshole Raven. He is not going to do anything.” Emerald says. I look at Raven, who is watching Zavian close. I hear a yelp and smile because I know that one of the boys probably smacked her for swearing. I hear a deep chuckle and look at Zavain, observing the three of them closely. I see Emerald rub her side as she mumbles somethin
Raven As we got near the western border I could see the rogues. Ok so there weren’t hoards of rogues flowing over the border but there were probably thirty to forty running around. I knew Emerald was here somewhere. As soon as she disappeared as she did, I knew something was up. I know she is perfectly capable of protecting herself, but I have to agree with Devon and Nate on the fact she is pregnant. There is more at stake than just her. “Where the fuck is she” Raidon yells. “I don’t know,” I replied. I heard a monstrous growl and saw Helm fly by. He had already shifted and was making a beeline for someone. I watched to see where he was going, and that's when I saw Emerald. She was surrounded by at least ten rogues. None of them was getting within fifteen feet of her. I then saw the already three dead rogues on the ground. When I say dead, I mean in pieces, I could tell they wanted to attack, but they had obviously what happens when you get too close to the fire. Raid
Ryan Yesterday was not what I had in mind when I decided to visit the pack. We had pulled up when Renee ran out hysterically and told us what was happening. She told us which border, and we took off. I left a few guys at the packhouse, plus Nalena and Marcel were there, so I knew they would also keep the people there safe. I was not expecting to see so many rogues when we got there. I looked up to see Raven, and he had a huge smile on his face. I saw him look at something and followed his line of sight. Well, fuck, there was Emerald. Rogues had circled around her, but they kept their distance. I looked at the ground and saw three dead ones, and it now made sense why they were keeping their distance. “How is she?” Ian asked. “She still hasn’t really woken up,” Devon answered. They had just walked into Jason’s office and sat down. Devon had Emerald in his arms, handed her to Nate, and then sat down. With her head in Nate’s lap, Devon placed her feet and legs in his. I w
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
