Eric really was a sick bastard, but his parents were no better. Up next, we find out more about Sasha.
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
DANTEI woke up with an odd feeling running through me. It felt like something inside was being pulled. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was just before six in the morning.‘Relax,’ Byron said, but his voice sounded further away. ‘Go into the living room.’It took some ninja skills to get out of the bed without waking Ziyah. My eyes landed on the calendar and realized what was happening. It was the full moon tonight. She had marked the calendar with excitement the day that we learned about the Fae Gods’ gift to us.We had no idea how this would work except that Byron would feel a pull and had to embrace it. I employed some of my mate’s meditation techniques and relaxed. A comforting warmth spread throughout my entire body.A bright white light moved outwards from my body and turned into his outline before there was a flash of light. It was just as fucking surreal to see him like this as it was when we were in their realm.“This is so fucking strange,” I said with a chuckle.“
ZIYAHThere were many unknowns when it came to birthing triplet hybrids from two powerful bloodlines. To be on the safe side, we had a small team dedicated to each little one.Unfortunately, there was no epidural that would work on Trelinins because of the additional healing strand. Someone should really create that. Perhaps it would be my new pet project. It sucked but not deemed worthy enough of a temper tantrum. My mates sharing their light with me would help the most.The first thing that Dezerine did was an ultrasound.Dante was holding my right hand. Byron was holding my left hand. The three of us had our attention turned to the monitor, holding our breaths until the strong heartbeats filled the room.Happy tears fell from my eyes. It was Byron this time that kissed my tears away, telling me how much he loved me and our blobs. How he was proud of the strong warrior mate that he had. His dark blue eyes held me captive.‘Thank you Ylonte, Slyersa, and Danthali for letting him be pa
DANTEWhile Ziyah was getting cleaned up, Byron and I were going to introduce our pups to those in the waiting room.We wrapped them in their individual blankets first. Blakely’s was lavender, Grenza’s was teal, and Asher’s was silver.“We’re dads now. Can you believe it?” Byron whispered without taking his eyes off of Asher.“Absolutely not. It’s fucking surreal. I knew that I would love them immediately, but I never thought it would be so powerful already. It’ll only deepen with each new experience. We’ll make sure that they have everything that they’ll ever need and be the best dads that we can be.”I exchanged a smirk with Byron when we walked through the doorway to the waiting room. Damn. It was filled with family and friends. I knew there would be some people but did not fully anticipate this many. That just showed how great our people were.Elle was the first one to see us, so she shot over towards us before anyone else could. I would expect no less from her. Everyone else follo
ELLE Ziyah had asked for me to come over at my earliest convenience but without elaboration. She had a serious edge to her voice, so the reason could be anything. Kade and Dante were over at the Slater pack, checking in with the progress thus far. So, it was just me, the boys, and Caiathus that would be going over. The boys were really eager to see their cousins, and so was I. There was no doubt in my mind that they would be close as they grew up. I had once worried that I might not make a good mother because I never really had anyone to show me what it meant to be one. Thankfully, it came naturally. There were days that was smooth sailing but others that were highly challenging. I would not give even a moment of it up though. Each moment was precious and would one day be only a memory. That thought always had a sobering effect whenever I got overwhelmed. Our boys were extremely well-mannered, but they were still just pups. I would have them no other way though. Their journey ahead
ZIYAHI have loved motherhood thus far. Part of me had been terrified that I would not be able to adequately care for three babes at once, but I had pleasantly surprised myself. Plus, Dante and Byron have both been amazingly helpful. They were the best fathers already.They insisted that I get as much sleep as possible, so they would take turns feeding, changing, and caring for them at night. There was so much happiness that radiated through the bond in relation to our aiyanos and me.I watched as the twins were entertaining the triplets with holograms and funny faces. It was so fucking adorable. They would definitely look after their cousins. There was no doubt about that.Elle asked me a question, but my attention was snatched away into a vision before I could even answer her.-Dante held me from behind as we watched our children sleeping. They had been fussing unless they were together. So, we had a specialty crib made that still separated them safely but let them be together.“Wha
ZIYAH The strategy meeting was set for 10:00 A.M. There were going to be many people involved, so we decided to have it in the building where my Luna ceremony had been held at. It was large enough that we would not be crowded. We had quite a few volunteers who set up the long tables, individual seating for those who were more comfortable that way, and a breakfast buffet for anyone who was hungry. This meeting was intended for leadership and those they felt would be able to add to the planning stage. One thing that I loved about our pack was that there was never a shortage of volunteers. It was the same with Nightshade. All of us were more than pack. We were family. From Dark Moon – Jackson and Imeela were not coming, but Brynn, Theo, Dustin, Dahlia, Cadence, and their Lamias were able to head this way. Tris was also coming since she was Brynn’s Vessel guide and would be an asset. Valis was sitting in for Imeela because he understood her abilities and what she could bring to the ta
