Jarin, Kuri, and the arrival of future Beta Leo! I hope you enjoyed.
DANTE I rocked Asher in my arms while his sisters fed. They all had some healthy appetites. It was interesting to see how much they had been growing since they were born. According to Ziyah, it was because Fae fetuses were smaller to help accommodate the shortened pregnancies. Therefore, their growths kickstarted after birth. “I’m curious about something…” I said, placing Asher in the crib so that I could help burp his sisters. “How is the mate-bond going to work between Klayrn and Haleen since mating a demon is dangerous for the non-demon?” Ziyah handed me Grenza once she unlatched. I placed a sweet kiss to my girl’s forehead before getting her into position. “Great question! Nabello demons are actually hybrids themselves. Demon-elemental witch hybrids to be exact. They don’t have full access to magic, but they have some influence over the elements. Klayrn, for example, has great control over fire. Normally, it wouldn’t harm demons, but his fire can effectively be weaponized again
ZIYAHThe plan was for leadership to address those in attendance, explaining about our new friends. It was imperative that they understood the reality of it all. Nabellos were peaceful beings but would protect their people and allies up until their final breath.There were plenty of stigmas that we needed to shove into a woodchipper. As Dante had said to me in the beginning, there would always be naysayers, but our new people just needed to show them how strong and awesome they were.Then we would bring them out onto the stage. Klayrn was the one to suggest having a Q&A session at the end because there was bound to be plenty of curiosity. It was definitely a great idea.Callista and Shane snatched our aiyanos. No, I was not being dramatic. Dante, Chris, and I were talking. The next thing we knew, the triplets were out of our arms and into theirs.Dante kissed the back of my hand that was laced with his. Then we walked onto the stage with Chris, Nate, and Amanda as well.The auditorium
ZIYAHEveryone was coming to our pack today for a meeting to plan the battle that I had dubbed: The Neutering of Whiny Andrei and The Pussy Known As Loki.Was it a mouthful? Yes. Would I shorten it? No way in fucking hell because I had already made concept creations for memorabilia. Everyone would be getting a gift bag. Go to fight a sadistic vampire and douchey God but do not forget the gift bag.Dante was going to be getting Dark Moon situated this morning. She had said that they would be bringing the twenty Cabinet members with them that will be their advisors. Jackson and Imeela were both excited about them and said that there was a fuckton potential between abilities and what they were pros with. Valis was the one to recommend them, so I knew that he picked the best suited ones. Between them and their families, there would be fifty-three people.There was no telling how many people from the original coven were still alive. Nor was there any telling how many of them could be truste
ELLEThere was so much going on right now with preparing for the coven battle that Ziyah creatively dubbed The Neutering of Whiny Andrei and The Pussy Known As Loki. That title would go down in the history books as it detailed all of the crazy ass shit that happened.Despite having so much going on, it was important to still celebrate the moments that we had together. Therefore, today was a very special day. It was the twins’ first birthday party. We were having a massive get-together between the three packs, our Coverstone friends, and all of our other friends.It felt like Déjà vu as I was setting everything up, but I was not certain why. It was really odd. Have you ever felt like something was right in the front of your mind but just out of reach? It poked at you and poked at you until you finally reach it. Well, I was in the process of attempting to reach it.“Oi,” Denny grunted as my Gabriel plowed into him.I still could not believe that I gave birth to them a year ago. Our boys
KADE There had been so much shit thrown our way lately, but we all agreed that we needed to celebrate milestones no matter what. One such milestone was our boys’ first birthday. The party was a huge affair between Nightshade, Shadow Falls, Dark Moon, Coverstone, Valis’ coven, our witch friends, our dragon friends, etc. I would honestly say that I had been extremely confused when my mate mentioned that things were different than how they should have been, that something had changed. However, I believed her without a second of hesitation. The term ‘crazy’ had been sort of thrown out the window the day that I met my mate. Hearing that we had been expecting again in that alternative timeline felt like I took a fist to the gut. It was not that I was unhappy with our life the way that it was, but the knowledge that we would have had another pup on the way left me feeling like I was missing something. It did not even fully make sense. How did you miss something that had not even happened?
DANTE I held my mate as she slept. It was a little after three in the morning, but I could not seem to fall asleep. We only had one day left before we infiltrated the coven. Everyone had been working their asses off to ensure that we were ready for it, knowing that literally anything could happen. How often did people have to battle it out around a god? Loki was Brynn’s ultimate responsibility, but that did not mean that we were not going to have to put up with him, his magic, or any other obstacle that he could conjure up. Ziyah had gone out of her way to do what she always did, making sure everyone would be protected as much as possible. A good portion of her effort was directed at creating extra protections for Elle, knowing that she was pregnant. There would be multiple protections in place, one of them being a protective dome over her womb just like the one that she had done when Charlene was in labor. Ziyah, Byron, and I had a serious discussion after we learned of Elle’s pre
ELLE It still amazed me how talented and powerful Ziyah was. Dante had reached out extremely early to let us know what was going on with the vision that she had and what the workaround was. Our mother was brave enough to be the test subject. Guess what? It fucking worked like a charm. So, an entire group of us had gone to help mass produce it. Something that this showed me was that it would be extremely beneficial to have a division of the Council that was knowledgeable like this. It would be fantastic if I could find a way to convince my talented Fae sister to oversee it. Perhaps if the request came from her favorite twins. Was it wrong to utilize my pups’ adorability to make this happen? That was yet to be clear. ‘We’re going to have to be strong today,’ Faye said as we lined up to go through the portal. ‘Not everyone who looks innocent is.’ There were multiple tables set up so that all of us could get what we needed to without it taking forever because we were on borrowed time.
ELLEAndrei looked very surprised to see us there, eyes zeroing in on Imeela. He wiped the emotion from his face but could not wipe the obsession from his eyes. He had sought her for ten long years, losing resources left and fucking right. Now that she stood before him, he wanted to possess her. Little did he know, but would learn very quickly, was that Imeela would be his Grim fucking Reaper.“You’re more than welcome to join us, pet,” he offered.The woman who had been servicing him was pushed away, as was the woman he was feeding from. I wanted to puke when he stood up, but he did not feel it was important to put his dick away.Imagine this if you would. You infiltrated a vampire coven. Sneak attack and all. Then you made your way into the throne room, which was also the feeding room. Following? Okay, so then you came face to face with the guy calling the shots. He tried to flex his ‘authority’ being a fake King and all. In the process, he stood up with his dick hanging out. Now, yo
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
