What do you think is an appropriate punishment for this?
ELLE I was flipping through the photos that showed the position that we found Ziyah in when we got there yesterday. Our gear had been equipped with recording devices just like normal, so it was easy to get stills that showed the damage that Alpha Cameron had inflicted upon her. It killed me to see everything that she had to suffer while protecting me. I had seen my brother drop to his knees as his body shook from whatever he felt through the bond. It was only an echo of what she was feeling, and it had that big of an impact on him. That just went to show that what she suffered was far worse than that. Not only had she been shot up with electricity but also had whip markings imbedded in her skin. It had surprised me that the asshole Alpha had a connection to Andrew. Sure, years had passed since I was rescued from his clutches, but the memories still remained. Someone closed the folder, hiding the photos from view. My eyes collided with my sexy mate. He placed a coffee in front of m
DANTE ‘Zeus is flying high with the knowledge of his new pup,’ Byron told me. ‘I bet he is just like he should be. Can’t wait to meet her and help spoil her rotten.’ Knowing my mate, this little Princess would be ladened with personalized gifts just like every other pup of theirs had been. Dahlia connected her laptop to the large screen. The first thing that popped up was a picture of the fucker himself. I could not wait to get my hands on him so that I could repay him for the pain that he inflicted on my mate. Desiree had come over last night to give her a checkup, heal her, and ensure that there was no underlying damage from the dark magic or the electricity. Thankfully, she was physically healthy. However, that did not account for the two nightmares that she had last night. It had been so long since she had them, but this experience threw her back into that cell once again. “Alpha Cameron of the Forest Trails pack in South Carolina. There are five complaints submitted to the C
ELLE Ten Years Later – Tonight was an incredibly important event. History in the making, and I was proud to be a part of it. Kellis entered our lives ten years ago. It was an adjustment for her because she went from being a woman hiding in the shadows, someone who flew underneath the radar in order to remain hidden from her father to an integral part of our circle. Selene chose her for Aldan and he for her. Together, they not only propelled their pack to an amazing level of prosperity but also helped to change the entire face of our Council rescue missions. She took it upon herself to design an all-inclusive survivor program. It took them from the point of being rescued through the process of establishing oneself – ensuring that they had everything they could need to become self-sufficient. The Safe Haven Foundation began as a pet project and exploded into something that was so much more. It took a few years to establish but instantly became our number one program. The banquet to
KADE 18 years following Epilogue 1 – I knew that this day would come from the moment that I felt my mate die. Many mates did not survive once one of them died, but Elle tasked me with an important mission. She wanted me to hold on as long as I could so that I could watch over our family. It was so fucking difficult to even think about living a life where she was not beside me. We had forty-seven years together, but it was not long enough. Hell, even an eternity would not be long enough. Despite the gaping hole in my heart and soul that was caused by losing her, I had vowed to uphold her last request. Some days were easier than others, but I learned to focus on our family instead of my own pain. If she could have chosen which way she wanted to leave this life then it would have been the way that it happened. She gave her life to protect our grandniece. She was a lover of all things musical, so Elle and Blakely took her to a special place in the city where that was filled with every
ZIYAH 721 years following Epilogue 2 – I was submerged in darkness, unable to remember what happened. There was something just out of reach in my mind. It was really fucking frustrating too. Time ticked by. It could have been minutes, hours, or years. There was no telling which it actually was. C’mon, think! I swear to all… “How long do you think it will take for her to open her eyes?” a familiar voice stage-whispered. “How about we ask her,” another voice said, clearly amused. “Little Goddess, how long until you open your eyes?” I slowly peeked one eye open to see Danthali bending over to look at me. His eyes crinkled as a smirk tugged at his lips. He looked very pleased with something. Knowing them, they were probably wagering on something. “That was precisely what we were doing. You really do know us so well,” he grinned and moved backwards, holding his hand out towards Ylonte. “Pleasure doing business with you,” he told him. Ylonte just rolled his eyes, plopped some coins
ZIYAH Today was the day that we would hopefully be able to unbind Jarin’s mother. We prepared as much as possible, but it was not like we had anyone else to practice on. Caiathus, Dante, Byron, and me had to work together to make this possible. Caiathus synthesized a compound that would act as our own binding agent. Then it was on me to use my healing abilities to spread the compound throughout her body but also to her physically. Dante would pull the fears out of her that would have been used to darken her light. At the same time, Byron would implant positive emotions to counteract the fears and brighten her light as a result. That did not sound too complicated… Who the fuck was I trying to kid? There were so many potential failures that it threatened to split my mind in half. Heat was pooling in my stomach as I drew closer to a much-needed release. “Right there,” I moaned hornily. My fingers threaded in Byron’s hair as I rode his face. His fingers were pumping in and out of me
DANTE Byron did link me in the office about what happened when our girl came. It was all the more incentive to get this fucking show on the fucking road so that I could experience it too. That was great motivation if you asked me. “Here we go…” Ziyah said, picking up a syringe. The first syringe contained the synthesized compound. Kersee was wearing a tank top to give us easy access to the well that held her light. Luckily, there was a bite guard in her mouth because it did not sound as though it felt like rainbows and motherfucking sunshine. The guard also prevented her from spitting, which was something she had a habit of doing when she was unable to do much else. Ziyah set the empty syringe down rubbed her hands together a couple of times. She, I, and Byron would be working in tandem. She would be using her magic hands as she pushed healing throughout Kersee’s body, which would also spread the compound. I would be removing her fears while Byron filled her up with all those fun f
DANTE The Council had been tracking the current of a group of rogues that was hitting packs in a seemingly random pattern, but we realized that they were doing that shit to simply throw us off. So, they were making an issue in Zone A so that people were focused their instead of Zone D, which was the real target. My girl believed that the Fire Stone pack was the next true target. The issue with these rogues was that they seemed to be altered somehow. Imagining the difference between real turtles and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Thus, we pulled out the heavy hitters. We had Enforcers, Kade, Elle, Caiathus, me, my Sexy Fae, and a group of the Trelinin clan, which did include our favorite Granny Ayla. Unfortunately, we did not make it there before everything began, but we made it just after the rogues showed up. The good news for us was that it was easy to pinpoint these rogues. Their scent resembled garbage, and they had a dark aura around them for some reason that we had yet to
BYRONI looked over at my mate and smiled, proud as hell to call her mine.We had all come such a long way since the fateful day when she crossed our borders.We had never anticipated finding our mate when she was literally running for her life. Goddess, she instantly became our everything from the moment that we saw her. She was more than we had ever thought that a mate could be. She was so fucking strong to have survived everything in life that she had. It was an honor to be loved by her. She was the best Luna, mate, lover, friend, and mother. Our years had been filled with far more love than we thought existed.It had been so fucking difficult to live beyond our loved ones’ lifespans, but we would never have changed our decision to bind ourselves to her. A longer life was also a blessing because we were able to watch over and protect the families of our loved ones.Danthali, Ylonte, and Slyersa gave us encouraging smiles and said that they would see us soon once we arrived at our d
ZIYAHToday was a monumental event of epic fucking proportions. It was our Ascension Ceremony. My mates and I were going to become Gods and Goddess.Pause. Rewind. Play…Nope, it was still the same truth. I remembered when they presented this honor to me during my first time meeting them. It was something that I could not even comprehend no matter how much I thought about it.Me, Ziyah Trelinin, was offered this amazing gift of becoming a Goddess. I remembered locking myself in the bathroom at one point and crying my eyes out. By the gods, I had felt so guilty for being jaded while underneath Toris’ reign of terror because I thought they had abandoned me. They did not though. They were right there with me when I thought I was all alone.Something that I had learned throughout my life was that the Gods did watch and did hear. Unfortunately, they were limited in what they were allowed to do. Even Gods had laws that had to be kept. However, they would intervene if they could. Sometimes th
To all of my amazing readers, I am happy to tell you that “Fated to the Alphas – Chased by Chaos” is now officially up on the app and ready to begin being read. Now, onto other important matters. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for how much support you have given me throughout these books. I love reading all of your comments, whether they are negative or positive, and use them to help shape the story as it evolves. Honestly, I was not certain how far, or in what ways, I wanted to design this universe when Kade and Elle’s story was first taking shape. All of the support that I found helped that design to take shape. The introduction of Caiathus into the mix was the turning point that made me want to dive deep into species integration. There was a lot of hell that these characters had to face, but there was much more joy to balance it out. It taught them that they never had to go through anything alone. That was precisely why this third book was told from all four main
SNEAK PEEK – “FATED TO THE ALPHAS – CHASED BY CHAOS” –ANGEL I rubbed my arms, trying to provide even a small amount of warmth to my freezing body. Would it be too much to ask my kidnappers to give me a damn blanket? In the dark, the silence was too loud. Thoughts, fears, and what-ifs clamored, demanding my attention. How could my life have changed so drastically in twenty-four hours? My eyes closed as my mind conjured their images for me. My Alphas, the ones that I had always desired. Just yesterday, I was entangled in their arms for the first time. I was finally able to free the emotions that I had kept hidden all of these years. I bit my lip hard to hold in the cries that were begging to be freed. I looked around the barely lit room that was my prison. It was bare. Apparently, they believed I would try to make a weapon out of a damn pillow. ‘Breathe,’ Athena told me. ‘We will just have to play it by ear. They’re bound to come and tell us why the fuck they brought us here. Pe
ALDAN Kade had pulled me aside earlier to check in on me, knowing that this visit to her home pack was bound to be incredibly difficult. My instincts would be demanding that I protect her and ensure that all who hurt her at any point be dealt with. I was thankful for the peptalk because it reminded me of an important truth. This trip was going to be rough on my mate. I needed to be her pillar of support. Kellis and I were officially bonded. It took a while for her to feel comfortable enough for us to seal the deal because of everything that had happened to her. I never wanted her to be wary of our time together, so I waited until she deemed that she was ready. Grant’s memories were extremely helpful, which was why the Goddess let them remain. He was able to help me understand how to approach her in a way that gave her absolute control. Her walls were paper-thin right now, so I was able to see some of what was going through her mind. That bastard father that just threatened her was
KELLIS How did I describe Aldan and Grant? That was a fantastic question, fantastic indeed. The situation that we met each other in was one that I would never have wished even on an enemy. I could only imagine how my mates had felt when they saw what was happening. I had tried so fucking hard to fight them, but they were much stronger than me. I was helpless, and that was a feeling that I loathed with passion. I had expected that he would reject me. Who would want a mate like I was? I remembered how my heart raced when he saved me from them. It raced as he offered a safe space in his pack. He did not reject me, but I still feared that he would one day. Meeting Elle, as she insisted that I called her, was awkward at first since Grant was technically once her wolf-mate but knowing that there had never been any type of intimate attachment eased my heart. She really was an amazing woman who I was thankful for meeting. I also appreciated what she did for Grant because he was given to me
AYLA Carson and I had gotten to know each other some last night. We had many things in common, but we also had enough differences to keep things interesting. We were both family-focused. He was close with his three children – two sons and a daughter. His mate, Cora, had passed away six years ago during a rogue attack. It was a miracle that he had survived, but he took it as a sign that his family and people needed him. I had briefly told him about Drell. We could understand what it was like to lose your other half. It left a gaping hole in your heart. Time helped to fill it in some, but it never truly healed entirely. Oddly, it was comforting that he could understand me with this and vice versa. He was easy-going and a very curious creature. I decided to tell him about our clan when we were at the estate today. It was normally a tightly-guarded secret, but I knew that I could trust him with it. It was a gut feeling – an instinct – which told me that Carson would hold my secret secu
AYLA I knew it the moment that I caught his spiced cinnamon scent. My eyes found one hell of a handsome man. He was dressed in slacks and a button-down shirt. It was ripped in places and was stained with blood from battle, but it still looked good on him. It was at the moment that our eyes connected that I felt the tether that bound his soul with mine. It was odd to think that after all of these years, fate finally decided to toss me curveball and give me a fated bond to someone. Drell and I had a long and happy life together that brought us a large family. He was my best friend growing up, and our relationship developed from there. I would always love him, but I knew that he would want me to be happy. It took a long while for me to feel like I could breathe after his death, but it eventually happened. However, there was always something missing. I felt complete when it came to my family and my duty, but I did not feel complete. It was always easier to keep my sexual partners at a
