What did you think about their titles?
ELLE My muscles coiled and extended as I continued pushing my speed. Was it really too much to ask for that I would be able to outrun my troubles? I did not think so, but then again, what did I know? Kade and I collapsed onto the ground only thirty minutes later. We were both panting messes. I was surprised that we had been able to keep that pace up for over an hour. “Are you ready to talk about it yet?” Kade asked, pulling me into his arms. I looked into his handsome face, remembering the very first time that I had seen it. Goddess, it felt like such a long time ago, but it was not in all actuality. There had been quite a bit of life that occurred since then that just made it feel like a lifetime ago. My eyes traveled over each feature. Gray eyes that could either be filled with many emotions or a cold as the tundra. His straight nose, soft lips, and angular jaw. It all made up his perfect self. “This has to stay between us,” I told him. He nodded right away. I never kept anyt
DANTEI was thankful that Caiathus knew a trick to help with Ziyah’s nighttime morning sickness. They should really rethink the name. It was very fucking misleading. ‘Anytime sickness’ would be more accurate.It had been hell seeing the toll that this pregnancy had been taking on her. She assured me that pregnancies without multiples should not be quite as rough. This was early in her pregnancy as well. It would seriously be kicking her ass as they grew.My girl was more than happy to deal with all of those effects for the honor of growing our little blobs. I still could not believe that we were expecting. I thanked the Goddess for all four of my loves every single day.I would have loved for her to be here with me, but we could not do that until the Toris fucker was obliterated from this life. Then my girl would be free to live her life without worrying about anyone finding her.This was the first official Alpha meeting that Chris and I had attended. Hopefully, it would be fairly stra
ZIYAHI was incredibly confused the moment that my eyes opened. The last thing that I remembered was Dante serenading me until I fell asleep in his arms.There was no telling where I was because this did not feel like a dream or a vision either. I was standing in front of the doors to a lavish palace. I turned around, trying to gauge what might be going on and saw a beautiful garden landscape that led to the surrounding woods. The colors were so vibrant, and a warm breeze caressed my skin. Surely, this was a good and safe place because a feeling of serene peace filled my being.The palace doors opened. A woman in uniform bowed her head to me.“Welcome, Lady Ziyah. Please do come in. We have been awaiting your arrival. If you follow me, I will aid you in getting prepared for the evening meal,” she said.She stepped aside, allowing me to pass. I was so very confused about what was going on. How did she know who I was? Who were the ‘we’ that she spoke of?“What is your name?” I asked her
DANTE I woke up with my nose firmly planted in my mate’s neck, surrounded by her incredible scent. It had gotten even richer during her pregnancy. It was my crack that I could never get enough of. “Good morning, babe,” I told her, kissing her shoulder. “Morning, havathi,” she said softly, stretching her body. That was when I realized she was not naked like she had been when she fell asleep. When did she change, and why was she wearing a dress? “When did you change?” I asked her. I felt her confusion before I heard her heart begin to race. Then she jumped out of bed, looking at her dress. Goddess, that dress definitely looked fucking amazing on her. I had never seen it before though. It was not her normal attire at all. “It wasn’t a dream. It was real. Holy fucking hell. It was real,” she mumbled to herself and started to pace. I just sat on the edge of the bed and let her get out whatever she needed to. I knew her well enough to understand that there would be no conversing unti
KADE “C’mon, Little Alphas,” I said to my boys, holding my hands out to them.They flashed me those bright smiles of theirs and grabbed a hand. Their walking was getting better too. Faye had explained that it had to do with the same reason for advanced pregnancies. Our role would be dangerous, so our family needed to be protected. Whatever the reason was, we trusted in Selene.Today would be ‘take-your-pups-to-work-day,’ but that was nothing new. I loved being a hands-on father with them. Hell, I even preferred to get up and take care of them at night so that Elle could sleep. Trust me when I said that she tried to talk me out of it because she wanted me to sleep too, but I was really fucking stubborn. I loved providing for my pups and my mate. This was a win-win any which way that you looked at it.We made our way into the office. There was already a play area set up for them in both of our offices. They immediately went to it and sat right down, ready to play with their intricate bl
ZIYAH I was pissed. No, that was an understatement. I was two seconds away from being nuclear. We were having a great time at the spa. Elle and I were relaxing and enjoying ourselves. Then, bam, out of nowhere, a bitch decided to go fucking postal and stabbed Elle before shooting me full of perileet. However, that was not the worse thing. Nope. The worst thing was that the woman who did it had been compelled through her damn phone. Then, to make it even more fucked up, she ended up killing herself so that there were no loose ends. Dante had needed reassurance that our blobs were okay, so Dezerine popped in and did a quick scan for us since she was one of the specialists taking care of us. Hearing their strong heartbeats helped calm him and Byron down. Then we all ended up in an impromptu meeting to discuss what the fuck had happened and how we would be dealing with it. Dahlia was attending virtually because she could not leave her office right now. Diego and Lindsey were here on t
DANTEZiyah had been stuck in her own head since the meeting concluded.I knew that she felt as overwhelmed as we all did with this. However, there was something else bothering her, but she had not opened up about it yet. I would wait for her to be ready because I would always give her the control that she so desperately needed in her life.She had mentioned that she needed to do some work in Janina’s magic room, so I left her to do whatever she needed, reminding her that I was here if she needed me.Earlier, when they were at the spa, I had felt her intense fury before our bond was cut off just like it had done when the fucker shot her full of wolfsbane before assaulting her. I knew that she was in trouble. Thankfully, nothing irreparable had happened to either of them.I attempted to do some work, but my mind was all over the fucking place, but none of it revolved around my work.After a dozen failed attempts at focusing, I decided to let Byron out for a run. That usually always help
ZIYAHWho in the fuck would threaten those precious aiyanos? They would definitely learn why that was a stupid fucking idea.For safety’s sake, they would be heading to the estate and staying with my parents. Nobody would find them there, and it was the best place for them to be. Luckily, the twins knew my parents so that they would be around familiar faces.The dagger cut into my palm, blood dribbling into the bowl below. This was the final step for the protection amulets that I was making for the four of us. We were going to be going into an unknown environment.I put the blood into the mixture of blessed oils, ash of phoenix, rue, and rosemary. Then I dipped the amulets into it, coating them entirely. The blood would add an additional layer of protection since it held the power contained within my blood.“Need any help, babe?” I heard coming from behind me.Dante looked sexy in all black. It was definitely a great color on him. Although, everything looked good on him. I was extremel
