This is a double update kind of day. Justice must prevail!
ELLE‘The motherfucking calvary has arrived in time to beat a pack of bitches down,’ Faye sang out to me.Had I ever mentioned that I absolutely loved my wolfy? She was the best part of me and had been my strength all of these years. She was a sarcastic snark that was very wise but had an equally potent mischievous streak.We approached the front vehicle that had the Council in it. They knew that I was me, but we had to play everything by the book right now.“Explain yourself because you’re supposed to be in the custody of Luna Elle,” Thompson said.That was Ziyah’s cue to drop the glamour entirely. They played their parts perfectly. Their surprise was very believable.“He’s still in custody,” I said with a lazy smirk.I gave them a generic overview from the attack on. They were wearing wires to record everything, which was why it was imperative for it to be by the book. We did not want to give anyone room to worm their way out of this bullshit.Chloe tensed up and dropped her head in
ZIYAHDante had held me until my tears subsided. My heart was heavy because we did not have much time at all to prepare for what was coming. I wanted to scream and cry because anything could happen to our people, our loved ones, and ourselves. Everything that we had built. Our futures…“Are you ready to head over to Nightshade?” Dante asked me.“Not really, but delaying the inevitable won’t be beneficial,” I said, sighing.I went to bend over and put my shoes on, but Dante beat me to it. He knelt down and slid them on for me. That brought a smile to my face. My mate always took care of me even in the small things like this.He stood up and pulled me up as well. We would be driving over since we had additional people coming too. This required all of our leadership. Dante’s parents would be overseeing things in our stead today.My family would also be in attendance. It was sort of imperative that they knew everything. One good thing was that the Gods had mentioned how the other Protector
DANTEWhat in the fuck was happening right now?We were all watching as markings, writing, appeared all over Imeela’s skin. Janina and Hesthes walked closer to her, examining what they saw. There seemed to be some recognition of whatever it was.“This is a very old dialect,” Hesthes said, tilting her head to get a better angel. “It’s a protective incantation from Hecate herself.”“It’s also a power amplification. ‘When my phoenix rises, its blue flames will vanquish’ is what this part says,” Janina added.My eyes tracked up to the mark that sat upon her neck. A blue phoenix.Holy fucking shit. This was the woman that Hecate had chosen as her warrior. There was absolutely no doubt that Imeela would be one hell of a warrior. She had to be after everything that she had already survived in life. Ten years on the run, four of them completely alone, and fighting for survival day in and fucking day out.My eyes looked over at Jackson, noticing the rose on his neck. Double holy fucking shit. V
DANTEI blinked against the bright sunlight and looked around in confusion. I was definitely not in fucking Kansas anymore, so where was the yellow brick road to figure out where in the fuck I was?“Overwhelming, right?” Ziyah asked from behind me.I whirled around and saw her leaning against a post. Her eyes sparkled with amusement, matching the smirk that tipped her lips upwards.“Sure. We’ll go with that. Where the fuck are we?” I asked her.She sauntered up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me down for a kiss. It was soft and sweet, laced with the love that was coursing through her.“This is the Godly Realm. This particular one is the Fae one. I’m not certain why we were both pulled here, but it should be entertaining,” she told me with a waggle of her eyebrows.Fucking right it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed the memory that she shared from her experience here, and I could not wait to experience it for myself.Ziyah laced her arm through mine as she began to walk t
ZIYAHI sensed it the moment that the doors opened. The scent hit me hard enough that I would have stumbled if I had not been sitting down. It was just like Dante’s but had a woodsy aspect added to it.My eyes met his, and I knew. I just knew…No. This could not be happening. I had two mates. I had my Dante and my Byron. They were the only ones that I would ever accept. The only ones that I would ever love. They were my everything, and I would never hurt them.The man’s eyes were glued to mine as he walked towards me. I did not care if there was a pull, a draw, or an initial attraction.How could this be happening? Why the fuck was this happening?He smiled brightly at me, but I felt like I was going to puke. I did not even know how to reject someone, but I needed to reject whoever he was.“No,” I whispered and put my hand up to stop him.The man’s smile fell, and I immediately felt a pang of guilt, but I could not be sucked into those emotions.“I’m sorry, but I have two amazing mates
ELLE“Tayoh and Dayoh are coming!” I told my boys.Their bright smiles and clapping hands showed just how excited they were. Uncle Dante and Aunty Ziyah were their favorites and always loved seeing them.I was not certain what they needed to come talk to us about, but they had said it was important. Part of me was concerned because there were many serious things headed our way. They were important, and much of it was dangerous.A knock on the door revealed Ansley, Gabriel, and their handsome little man.Axel took after Gabriel, so he would probably be a little heartbreaker as he grew up. I knew that my best friend would be an amazing father, and I was right. You could see how thankful he was for it every single day. He and Ansley were amazing mates and amazing parents.“Here we go, little Alphas. Your buddy Axel’s here,” Gabriel said as he put his son down where they were.“Axel!” they said together.Gabriel flashed me a proud grin. He was very proud of his Godsons and made sure to cel
ELLE “I promise that you’ll be safe here. Actually, all of our Blue Crest Omegas are either in this pack or my brother’s pack next to us. We have a lot to discuss, but first I want to get you taken care of. Will you let me take you back to our packhouse?” I asked her. Sasha sat up straighter and looked around. I had no idea what her life had been like, but it could not have been easy these past few years. There were new and old bruises along her face, neck, and arms. She definitely looked starved, and there was no telling what internal injuries she might have. “Don’t I have to speak to your Alpha first?” she asked nervously. “This is part of the discussion. The tall one back there.” I pointed out my sexy mate. “Is my mate, Alpha Kade. I know that he’ll agree with bringing you back and giving you sanctuary here. He’s actually the one who helped shut Blue Crest down, got the Council involved, and didn’t even hesitate to offer all of the Omegas to come here. Now, I’m going to need you
ELLEI knocked on Sasha’s door to see if she wanted to meet up with some of the previous Blue Crests. I was thinking that it might do her some good. Honestly, not everyone could understand the pasts that we had survived. It was one reason why the support groups had such a monumental impact.“Hey El – Luna,” she said, clearing her throat.“You can call me Elle just like you always have, hon. Using the title in public is fine, but when it’s just us then you can call me Elle. Connor just refuses to do so no matter how many times we tell him to. I was just wondering if you’d like to meet up with some of the people that came over from Blue Crest? We haven’t told them anything yet because that’s your decision.”Her bottom lip was wedged between her teeth as she considered her answer. After a few moments she nodded.“Fantastic. The support groups just ended, so they’ll be in the dining room where they converge to hang out afterwards,” I told her.I saw that piqued her curiosity, so I explaine
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
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
