*Alpha Nik’s POV*“Sir, the project is complete!” Cheyenne’s Dad’s voice came from the speaker on his phone.“Awesome! You think she’ll like it?” I was all of a sudden nervous. Why was I so nervous?“Sir, she is going to love it! Her mother was very specific on certain details of the décor. To be honest sir, I’m glad it’s over.” Her Dad chuckled in the phone.“You and me both. Ok, thank you for the information. I will get her out there later today before the pack party. You go home and rest.” I thanked him and disconnected the call.“Ben, I need you to figure out a way to get Gunner here without Cheyenne.” I opened the mind link.“How am I going to do that? You know those two go everywhere together.” Ben groaned.“Are you questioning your alpha son?” I was laughing to myself.“Seriously Dad?! You’re going to play that card?” Ben replied still whining.“Yep!” I was still smiling.“Fine. I’ll figure something out. How much time do I have to work with here?” Ben asked starting to turn th
***Cheyenne’s POV***Gunner didn’t seem phased by it, so we kept going. It didn’t take long to find Chelsea. She was giving out orders to everyone. They were all still under the impression that this was just going to be a pack BBQ tonight. We hadn’t had one in a long time, so they weren’t thinking twice about it.“Oh thank god you’re here!” Chelsea seemed relieved to see us.“I’m going to go find Ben. You girls have fun, and don’t hurt anybody.” Gunner kissed my forehead and went in the direction Chelsea was pointing.“And make sure he’s got the ball pit set up!” She hollered out after him.Gunner just gave a thumbs-up as he jogged away. Chelsea was showing me everything they had set up so far and what still needed to be done. I looked at the time and reminded her that we still had 3 hours until the party started. I managed to calm her down by taking Darion and offering to go check on the guys. She kept thanking me over and over again. I told her to just relax, and the main thing was
***Cheyenne’s POV***“Original plan was just to observe, but it seems,” they paused as they looked at Teagan again, “seems like plans have changed.” They smiled.“Charlie get the women and children out of here.” Koa hollered out without taking her eyes off the intruder.“Let us go!” Pain and Panic were yelling from the ground.“What should we do with them?” Koa asked Teagan and Maggie.“Allow me,” Teagan said looking towards the men on the ground. “Excuse me, this will only take a second.” And with that, Teagan shifted right in front of us.The sight of the two sisters, fully shifted, next to each other was just breathtaking. Maggie looked like the twilight sky with sunset-colored eyes, while Teagan’s dragon was the exact opposite. She was a beautiful mix of greens and blues, with that metallic look as well. Her eyes were the perfect blend of the brightest yellow and green. One that looked like the end of the day, while the other reminded you of the meadows along the ocean in broad da
*Unknown POV*“Steph what did you find out?”“The wolves are preparing for a war against the dragons.”Laughter erupted all over the room. “I told you she couldn’t do this! Listen to her, dragons?! Is she serious? Everybody knows the sirens took them out centuries ago!”“I swear! The Dragon Emperor’s daughter is with one of the lycans. She claims that he is her true mate, but the emperor says that the wolves and lycans brainwashed her. She refuses to go back home. They’ve sent two of the emperor’s men back beaten as a warning, but then the dragons sent two more who just went back torn to shreds. Cheyenne is not playing around, and now they have two dragons on their side, and…” Stephanie looked down at her hands in her lap and started picking at her nails.“And what child!!!?” Her father bellowed, causing her to jump.“I think the vampires might be on their side too,” Stephanie said as fast as she could.“WHAT!!!!?” Multiple voices were heard in unison.“It’s kind of confusing but I’ll
It was back in the 1820’s. I lived in a little village on the coast of Norway with my parents. I had volunteered to go hunting that night for my father because I needed to let my lycan out. We were both stressed out and need to blow some of it off. I had been out in the woods under the full moon for over an hour when I smelt something. My lycan pointed our nose in the air and started sniffing. There was a strong scent coming up wind, and we slowly started to follow it. Actually it was more like it was dragging us in. The closer we got, the stronger the scent of blood became. “Hello? Is anyone out here?” I hollered out but got no response. “Maybe it’s just another animal that was being hunted.” My lycan suggested. “That wouldn’t explain the sweet scent of a fresh snowfall and chocolate.” I furrowed my brows in confusion while still taking slow steps forward. Within minutes we found the source of the scents. She was lying there on the forest floor, beaten beyond recognition, and le
*Present Day* I would often find myself just staring at my second chance mate. I was still trying to accept the fact that I even had another mate. For us lycans, second chance mates are unheard of. The odds are like one in a million for our kind. So you can damn well bet that I was going to do everything I could to keep her. If she said jump, then I was asking how high? If she said kiss my shoes, then I was baseball sliding to them like they were home plate! I was falling, and falling hard at that, for this woman. The fact that she was a dragon didn’t bother me much anymore. Yes, I still worried when she would get upset, knowing she could shift at any given moment. Dragons are not known for their charity work, or kindness, or just plain out common courtesy for that matter. Dragons were ruthless, demon spawns of Satan that destroyed everything in their path, but oh were they some of the most gorgeous creatures on this planet! Tora, my mate, showed me some pictures that her sister ha
I wasn’t sure what to do at this point. Do I wake her up and question her about this? Do I let her sleep and deal with it when she gets up? I had so many questions running through my mind at the moment. As I was having an internal battle, she stirred on the couch. Her movement catching my eye and causing me to look in her direction. She felt around looking for me before sitting up and looking around the room. When our eyes met, she stood up and walked towards me. “Honey, what’s wrong?” She asked tiredly. “I’m sorry hun. I didn’t mean to wake you, but your phone was ringing and I thought it might have been Alida but I didn’t get to it in time and…” I was rambling. I was sure she would be upset with me. “Honey, it’s ok. Calm down. I have nothing to hide from you and I trust you. But why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” She asked reaching for my face. When she softly placed her hand on my face, I closed my eyes and turned into it. “You received a text message when the call was
*One Month Ago*“Babe we need to get the nursery done!” Chelsea was in a mood today.I could tell it was getting close because she was starting to do what I’ve been told is nesting. She would freak out about the smallest things not being done, or if she felt we didn’t have enough of something for the baby. Right now she was freaking out because I didn’t have the crib put together yet. She had a list a mile long for me to do.Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed doing all of it, even the 2am runs for ice cream or pickles. I did everything she asked of me. It didn’t matter what time it was or what I was doing. I dropped it all and ran to her or for her. I even put my alpha training on hold for the rest of her pregnancy so I could spend more time with her.There were times, like right now, where she would drive me up the wall though. No matter what I did, it wasn’t right or in the wrong spot.“Babe, listen to me.” I said calmly while taking her hands. “I am going to step outside for just a

*Cheyenne's POV*“Ok, first things first. We have no idea what the hunters are planning, much less when they’ll attack. Same for the dragons. Teagan said it’s been radio silent for a while. BUT what we do know is there is a party for me and Maggie on Friday. Also, when’s the last time anyone has seen Ben or Chelsea? Let’s go check on them and make sure Chelsea hasn’t killed him yet. Besides, Alida needs some baby time to help her chillax.” Tora suggested while smacking my ass when she walked by me to head towards the vehicles.“Hey! That’s my ass!” Gunner whined.“Oh come on! That’s my sister!” Ty moaned.“Tora…” I called out to get her attention.When she looked back at me, I slightly nodded towards the truck. Gunner always leaves the keys in it, so that wasn’t an issue. As soon as she turned, I bolted for the driver’s seat. There was that split second of shock on Gunner’s face before he realized what was going on.I jumped in the truck with Tora jumping in the other side and we quic
“Dad, I think I know what you’re talking about already. It’s the only thing that makes sense as to being short on the phone and pulling me away just now. What do you know about her?” I asked while picking at my own fingers.Gunner, having seen my nervous tick, reached over and grabbed my hands while giving me a calm wave of energy through our bond. I gave a small nod and a thank you smile to my mate and then returned my attention back to my dad.“I know she’s the daughter of the leader of the HOA. I know Tyler claims her as his fated mate. I know she says she has nothing to do with the HOA. I know she said her father is deathly sick, BUT…” my dad paused before continuing, “I also know that’s a lie!” my dad stopped talking and continued staring at the ceiling.“Wait, what do you mean? How do you know that’s a lie?” I asked in a hurry.“Your mom saw her father lurking around the borders the other day, and since your mom takes that witchy potion in front of me religiously, I know she’s t
*Cheyenne’s POV*I wasn’t exactly sure how to bring the subject up to Tyler that his mate was at our meeting, much less ask him why she would’ve been there, one that even he couldn’t be at. Do I just rip the Band-Aid off, so to speak, and just come right out and say it? Was there a way to even sugarcoat it to try to break it to him nicely? No, I couldn’t do that, because he would know then that something was up because that’s not me. It was only yesterday, and I didn’t get much sleep last night because of this. I knew Gunner could feel the turmoil going on inside of me through the mate bond and every time I tried to block it, he would tell me to let him back in.“That’s what a mate is for, to feel everything you feel and help you through it.” He kept saying.It was around 2:00 am when he finally pulled me into his body, letting the sparks erupt everywhere our skin made contact with each other. The feeling drove all other thoughts out of my head and allowed me to drift off to sleep fin
*Cheyenne’s POV*Gunner and I were the first to show up at the same building we had met everyone before. Gunner held the door open for me while I walked in and flashed him a small smile. I saw the same short stout man from the first time we met here coming down the hall.“Good morning miss.” He said with a smile.“Good morning.” I smiled back with a slight nod of my head.“Your room is all set and ready for you per Alpha Nik’s request.” He informed me.“Thank you very much. I do apologize for such the short notice.” I said sincerely.“Not an issue miss. We don’t get very much business here.” He said waving his short arm around in the air.“Oh I’m sorry for that. I will surely pass on the word about this place.” I offered.“Thank you miss. Much appreciated!” He said with a wide grin. He gave a slight bow of his head and then continued on his way towards his office.“He such a nice fellow, for a human anyways.” I said softly to Gunner with a smirk.“Don’t go getting feelings for an old
*Tora’s POV*I couldn’t believe how well the soldiers were handling having a dragon on their territory. Once the nerves calmed down and the anxiety subsided, it was nothing but the feeling of butterflies in my stomach from all the happiness and excitement that surrounded me.“Maggie?” One soldier asked.“Yes?” She asked kindly.“This might sound weird but um…” He stopped and looked around at his fellow pack members. A few of them nodded and he looked back up at her, “Can you give us a ride?”“A ride?” Maggie asked confused.“Well you see, none of us can fly and some of us were wondering if, well, if you could give us a ride?” He asked again.Maggie and Koa exchanged looks while attempting to hold in their laughter but both failed horribly! Koa was rolling on the ground laughing so hard and Maggie actually snorted.“
