Derek I can’t believe what I just witnessed. Davina went into a rage and blindly killed him. I know that she does not have a problem killing when attacked but this man was chained and she just killed his bear making him human. She does not kill if not necessary. I carry her back to our room to rest. “What about the witch?” “We can try that later. You need to rest before you over do it and you’re in shock.” She has this blank expression on her face as she just nods her head at me. She’s asleep before we reach our bedroom. She definitely did too much this afternoon. I lay her on the bed and pull a blanket from the closet to cover her. I head back to my office and find Mark there. “What the hell was that,” he asks. “I don’t know. I remember asking dad or maybe it was Owen, anyway we asked if she would be able to control a person since she can control water. Dad didn’t know but today that answer’s our questions. We need to speak with Dimitri and Bjarki. I wonder if any other dragon
“Need us to tuck you in Maliyah,” asks Davina. “No mom, I’m getting a bit old for that don’t you think? I’m just gonna read for a bit anyway before going to bed.” “Alright sweetheart. Goodnight.” Davina and I give her a hug before she enters her room. “I’ll be in the library for now. I’ll watch over all the kids if you all are going to handle the witch,” says Aspen. “If y’all wanna come we are going to head that way now,” I inform my siblings and their mates. “Yeah we’ll come. Extra protection, just in case,” says Mark. “I’m sorry if I scared you all,” says Davina. “We were more scare for you, not of you. Are you okay,” asks Keila. “No, I don’t want that to ever happen again. I was just suppose to take away his bear not kill him. I didn’t want to kill him.” “We know you didn’t Davina,” says Daniela hugging Davina for support. “So who is this witch,” asks Davina. “Her name is Macy Gilbert. She was Miranda’s sister,” says Daniela. I watch Davina let that sink in. Once she
***Warning**** This chapter depicts a stillbirth. Continue at your own discretion.DerekDavina is not moving as her body lays limp in my arms. I check her pulse and let out a sigh of relief. She’s alive. I frantically look around as we are being attacked by witches and warlocks. It’s an ambush and we were not prepared. Jack is dead and Mason is badly injured. Keila is tending to his wounds while Mark has already shifted, attacking our enemy. Daniela runs over to where Davina and I are at.“Derek go! I’ve got her.” I hesitate before I nod at her and shift taking off towards the enemy. I look back and see Daniela has put up a shield as spells exploded far from her and Davina. For now she is safe. I turn back and shift again into my lycan form. The warlocks and witches stop in their tracks. Good, I surprised them. They quickly recover and continue attacking. Mason rejoins us once he has healed.“You good Mason?”“Yes alpha, your sister healed me. I’m fine.”“Good. Time for revenge. Kil
Dr. Ase wheels in some equipment and a hospital bed. Keila inserts an IV into my hand as Derek carries me to the hospital bed. Bands are wrapped around my belly as Dr. Ase is setting up the stirrups for my feet. I feel numb, I cannot even register what is being said to me. I can’t get my body to listen to move, like I am paralyzed. Keila and Dr. Ase are quite in sync with each other, not once saying a word as they work quickly to get everything set up. I feel someone squeeze my shoulder, sending sparks throughout my body. I look up and see it’s Derek, snapping me out of paralyzing state. I can feel his pain of our loss through the bond. “Davina I am going to inject pitocin into your IV. It’ll induce labor, it may cause you to feel nauseous. This band will help us keep track of your contractions. Normally your body would empty itself but you haven’t had any contractions yet or pain have you?” I shake my head no at her I haven’t felt anything. As far as I can feel, the baby is still
DerekAs soon as I am sure Davina has fallen asleep I slip out of our bedroom. I was ready to go rampant as soon as I realized the rogues killed our baby. We have a leak somewhere, I am sure of it. I have a traitor in my pack, there is no other explanation as to why they knew where the dungeon was relocated and when we would be present. There are many people who come and go through my house though. Warriors, staff, company employees. I can’t think of anyone who hates me enough to betray the pack. While Davina was holding Lucas I asked Mark to get Aspen to find our traitor. It’ll take a while to comb through the whole pack but I know Aspen will find whoever this is. If it were up to just me I would rip this person’s throat out without remorse. But I’m sure Davina will want to take away their powers, saving our anger for Alastor. If he is willing to kill a baby he will have no problem killing Malayah. We need to find her soon. I’m in my office combing over files and paperwork to keep
“Hey no nonsense talk. You have been a great alpha to our pack. Not even dad was aware of uncle Thomas being a traitor until it was too late and he never realized we had a spy in our pack, you did. You can’t do everything Derek. From what I’ve seen you are a great father and husband. This pack loves you and wouldn’t ask for a better alpha. So don’t even consider stepping down because I refuse to take your place,” says Mark. He is standing in front of me, more serious than I have ever seen him in my life. I can’t help but feel his words to my very core and I nod at him as he embraces me. I don’t know what I would do without my brother. “Where is Maliyah?”“She’s in the library drawing,” says Aspen as he walks in. “Sorry Derek no luck so far. I only returned for breakfast and then I will head out again.”“Please join us for the funeral as well. The traitor isn’t going anywhere and besides family no one knows we are looking for a traitor nor does anyone know your powers.”“It’d be my h
DerekAs soon I order the elders to be called I see Dimitri, Gabriel and even Davina all shutter.“What is wrong?” Davina appears to have a fearful expression on her face.“It’s the coven, we need to go now!” Davina replies. I don’t understand what is going on but I refuse to let her go alone.“Mark, you and Daniela stay here with mom and the kids. Everyone else here we’re going with Dimitri. The coven needs our help. We are ready when you are Dimitri.”“No time to waste.” Dimitri recites some words and we are in the middle of his coven. They are being attacked. Houses are on fire, people are running screaming. I see kids hiding, tears stain their faces, with their parents no where in sight. Bodies line the streets, including children.“Anastasia where are you!” I can here Dimitri desperately looking for his daughter. Dimitri is furious and begins killing anyone in sight that doesn’t belong. He is very powerful and I would hate to be on the receiving end of his anger. It’s utter cha
“Derek.” I look behind me and find Mark heading my way with a manila envelope in his hand. I am dreading what it is, though I already know.“Please don’t tell me that’s what I think it is.”“Sorry Derek. It’s addressed to Davina. I am sure it’s another video.” Nero is growling in my head. I have to remind him to calm down as to not scare the children. They’ve been through enough for one night. “Okay, no elders this time, we don’t know who the traitor is yet. Just tell family, Aspen, Dimitri and Gabriel. Have Shane take over here for us.”“You got it bro.” I walk over to Davina and Maliyah as they finish the last of the houses. They truly are amazing with how quickly they put these houses together. “Love we need to head inside. It’s important. Maliyah I don’t want you out here alone so please go inside with the rest of us.”“Why what’s going on,” asks Davina. I hand her the envelope. She takes it and looks back up at me with fear in her eyes. She knows just as much as I do what is in
