ELLE Kade shot up at the sound of my scream, looking around to find the threat but saw none. I was not being attacked, but the pain was there though. It felt like a red-hot poker was searing itself into my flesh. I shot out of bed to turn the light on and pulled off my shirt. I knew exactly where the pain was coming from, but it made no sense at all to me. “Do you see anything?” My voice was high-pitched even to my own ears, but that was not my concern at the moment. I turned around and showed him my birthmark, the one that they used to verify my status as the Power Giver. Kade stood behind me and gently traced the birthmark with his finger. I turned my head to look at him, confusion written all over his face. “It’s glowing. Does it hurt?” he asked, pulling his finger away as an afterthought as he remembered my scream. “It did. It was excruciating. This is the birthmark that the file mentioned.” I took a look in the mirror, and he was right that it was glowing. The crescent moon

ELLE ‘Everyone should be in wolf form,’ Faye said the moment we touched down. I turned to Kade and relayed what Faye told me. I felt his worry even though he nodded. This was a risk because it could paint a target since Faye was completely unmistakable as being a special wolf. However, he knew that Faye would not suggest it unless it was necessary. Being my mate apparently came with its own challenges, but Kade and Tyre rose to the occasion each and every time. They were our Kings. “We’ll all leave out in wolf form. For anyone who isn’t aware, Luna’s wolf can send mindlinks to everyone despite pack or affiliation. We have no idea what we’re walking into, but what she says goes. Understood?” Kade asked, looking around at everyone who just nodded in turn. Kade grabbed our bags before we departed. His hand was firmly placed on my lower back, and I did not need the bond to feel his concern. This was more than just outing Faye. This was us going into an unknown situation where anything

ELLE “You ready to go meet everyone?” Kade asked. He could feel my emotions which were currently storming within me. I was nervous and worried about what they might think or feel with all of this. What if they thought that we had anything to do with this? “Can we just jump back on the jet and fly home?” I asked instead. “We could, but that would be a tad rude,” he said, kissing the tip of my nose. “Nothing to worry about, darling. I’m right here beside you every step of the way.” His sincerity tipped my lips upwards into a smile. It was great to know that I was not alone any longer. I had an amazing mate beside me from here on out. My smile faltered when I felt a strain on Gabriel’s bond. Something was wrong. “We have to find Gabe,” I told him quickly. We ran back towards everyone because that was where he should have been. His mate had been in the pack members there. I had no idea what was wrong, but the bond never lied. It saved our asses many times over the years. “Gabe!” I

ELLE Kade held the door for me, kissing my head as I passed. All eyes turned to us when we entered. The room was packed, and I blushed under the weight of their stares. I hoped that they had not been waiting long. This conference room had a very large table that could fit all of us. There were about twenty in all between our people and theirs. I made sure to tuck my nerves down deep so that I did not embarrass myself with first impressions and whatnot. “Join us,” my mother said with a soft smile and gestured to two empty seats. I sat next to Gabriel who sat next to Ansley, and Kade sat next to Apollo who sat next to Vienna. The four of them seemed happy to have found their mates. It was radiating out of them, and I did not even need Apollo’s gift to notice it. My heart was filled with joy at their pairings. Kade radically changed my entire life in the short time that I had known him, and I knew the same would happen for those two guys as well. “Food will be brought around soon sin

KADE My heart broke for my mate. I had never known a single person to face the sheer amount of tragedy that was thrust upon her. The heartbreaking anguish that flooded her body when she made the connection with the Alpha was enough to literally bring me to my knees. I had never felt something so raw and powerful before. I was thankful that we killed him, but I wished we had been able to give him a taste of his own medicine before we ripped the life from his body. Just when I thought that I had learned some of the worst trauma she faced, I learned even more. Faye explained to Tyre what happened so that we could understand what happened to Elle that night. I thought Dulaney and Elwyn had been the worst, but apparently I had been mistaken. To live with that guilt weighing her down … I had no idea how she was so fucking strong to keep going and continue living. She picked herself up from the ground each time she was thrown down. There had to be something that we could do to make sure t

DANTE One’s pack is more than just a group of people who lived life together. They were a family. An Alpha’s duty was to protect that family until they took their final breath. The bastards that attacked us had separated us from the rest of the pack because they knew who and what we were. My gift let me in on that little secret right away. We were their prize. How did they know about us though? That was a very good question indeed. My gift was a fucking nightmare that I hated but appreciated at the same time. It showed me what others hid within themselves. There was no switch that I could flip to turn it on or off. It was always on no matter what. Thankfully not everyone was a sadistic bastard like that Alpha was. His soul was as dark as tar and twisted in more ways than one. Another aspect of my gift that nobody else knew about was that I could access someone’s fears to use against them. I was seconds away from figuring out the Alpha’s darkest fear when I noticed wolves sneaking u

ELLE Dante was a pretty cool guy. I was worried that he would look at me differently knowing what he saw in the dream, but he did not. You could tell that he was already protective of me because he knew about me growing up. He personally looked for me and even came to this pack. That meant everything to me. “Who did you see when you came here?” I asked him as we walked back to the packhouse. “I think it was the Beta. Not sure what his name is though or if it’s the same one.” I laced him arm around his and hurried my pace. This was going to be funny. He just chuckled but followed. I never thought about what it would be like to have a brother, but it was pretty cool so far. ‘Baby, is Beta Oscar being kept in the cells?’ I asked. ‘Of course. It’s the finest establishment this packhouse has to offer. He and Dulaney are in the last cell. Want to go see him?’ ‘He’s the one that Dante met at the border, so I wanted to let the dipshit see how fucked he is,’ I purred to my mate. Kade he

ELLE Anger gave way to fury, bubbling up inside of me to a dangerous level. There were many times that I was furious in life but never to this extent. Why? Why did the fucking Alpha have to covet power that was never meant to be his in the first place? All he had ever done was take from everyone else. He did not gain a damn thing that he actually deserved or earned. “Please excuse me. I have to grab something from my room,” I said quickly and rushed off before I made a scene. My heart felt like it was breaking into thousands of little shards over what happened to my brother. I did not care what I suffered at all. It happened and was over now. I survived and never had to face that again. Dante had been significantly affected and suffered more than I did. It was a different type of suffering, but it did not matter. If I had been the only one to truly suffer then I would not have cared as much. It was never about what happened to me that bothered me the most because it was what happe

SNEAK PEEK FROM FATED SOUL – FATED LIGHT – DANTE “How did you do it?” I asked Kade as I ran my fingers through my hair for the hundredth time today. He pushed a glass of Bourbon to me. It was gone in one swallow. I was a little on fucking edge. Sue me. “I’m not going to lie to you. It’s fucking difficult. I have no idea how I did it because I wanted nothing more than to rip the last breath from each person that hurt my mate. I wanted to watch as their lifeforce left their bodies. Fucking hell. I wished that I could murder every single bastard that even thought something negative about her. However, I realized that destroying them was also about me. It wasn’t just about what happened to Elle. It was about me feeling like a failure for not protecting my mate even though I didn’t know who she was yet.” Kade placed his hands on my shoulders and gave them a comforting squeeze. I came to Kade because he had been in a similar position to what I was in right now. His mate, my sister, ha
Fated Rejection - Fated Claim Epilogue
ELLE “You can sit the presents over there,” I said, pointing to the table. Today was the twins’ first birthday. Everyone decided to throw a huge party in celebration. Nightshade, Shadow Falls, Dark Moon, our vamps, our Fae friends, and our fiery dragons all came to spend this special day together. Our boys were little heartbreakers already. They were Alpha pups on steroids when it came to their strength and size. They looked more like they were two instead of one. Then they had the intelligence of years beyond themselves. They were their own species so to speak. It was exciting and scary at the same time. We just wanted them to be carefree pups, but they were destined to be so much more. “Oi,” Denny grunted as Gabriel Reece plowed into him. Our boys began walking at about six months. They were little hellions with how fast they were. Not to mention that they were already befriending the shadows. Oddly, the boys never did anything harmful. It was like they were self-aware. Caiathus
Fated Rejection - Fated Claim Chapter 132
KADE Time had passed by quickly, and life moved on with it. Those bastards involved in Ada’s murder and Anya’s attempted murder, had been tortured until every single detail was spilled. There really had not been much left in them, but we enjoyed exacting justice for what they did. Apparently, Ada had no idea who the bastard was when he got her pregnant. He essentially had roofied her at the library one day when she was studying. It made sense why she had dropped out of school and moved back to the pack after that. She had been drugged, raped, and gotten pregnant from it. It was not until they were torturing her that she learned the truth all along. The bastard took great pleasure in detailing exactly what happened, including using illegal herbs to force becoming pregnant. Elle made sure that I sliced his dick off for that bit. Only my mate could sit in the corner of a torture chamber and eat mint chocolate chip ice cream while giving us suggestions here and there without being aff

ELLE Kade insisted that we get a checkup when we got back to the pack. I could not deny him the reassurance that the twins and I were okay because I knew how terrified he had been about me being on that battlefield in the first place. I had asked Dante if he wanted to come as well since he had not really been present since he was at Dark Moon during everything. It was where he needed to be, but he was back here now. “We’ll be doing your scan. Is there anything new that you’ve experienced, Luna?” Dr. Silva asked as she prepared the machine. I bit my lip, trying to think of how to explain the odd occurrence on the battlefield. I had not even mentioned it to anyone, so I hoped that Kade remembered how much he loved me. “There was an unavoidable situation –” I was cut off by my mate. “She means a battle,” Kade interrupted, giving me a pointed look. Dr. Silva looked at me with widened eyes as if that was the last thing she had expected to hear. I understood how this looked from an ou

ELLE The battle with Bandore really had not been a battle at all. The closest thing that I had experienced were feeding rooms. However, even that did not compare to this right here and now. Adrenaline pulsed throughout my body, reminding me to stay alert at all times. There was no room for our failure here because that would mean the death of all involved as well as the pack behind us. There was no greater honor than to be given the opportunity to save those who needed us. Brynn had an important destiny, one that I was not privy to know the details of other than she was a prophesized and chosen Vessel. My cryptic ass wolf just loved annoying the shit out of me like that. ‘You know me so well,’ she cooed. ‘I couldn’t ask for a better wolfy than you.’ ‘And I couldn’t ask for a better human than you. I’m blessed that Selene chose me to be your wolfy.’ I smiled despite the carnage everywhere. Faye just proved that there was beauty that could be found even in the midst of damaging ch

ELLE Kade and I grabbed a few hours of sleep before making our way down to the Command Center as Apollo so conveniently named it. We had all of our leadership, a conglomeration of our vamp friends, Caiathus’ brothers, the Council, Mystra, Fyst, and Celeste as well. Gabriel and Ansley pushed in coffee carts, and my entire day finally felt right. I eagerly grabbed my specialty drink that was always perfectly made. I sighed as the first sip hit my taste buds. “You still really suck, sis. It’s not fair that you can drink caffeine,” Ansley huffed. “You could always take it up with Selene,” I said coyly, taking another sip. Gabriel vehemently shook his head back and forth behind her. He apparently did not like that idea whatsoever. “Why would you be against your amazing mate asking for such a simple thing? Do you not want her to have caffeine? Perhaps you shouldn’t be having caffeine either then if you’re going to be unfair to my amazing sister,” I told him with mock shame. Her head

KADE I was waiting for our people to finish putting the trash in the cells and join me in the office. Honestly, I needed a bit of time to cool down before I dealt with them unless we wanted to just snap their necks and be done with it all. That seemed too lenient a punishment for them though. The memory of finding Ada’s body would forever haunt me until I drew my last breath. Nobody deserved that type of treatment or death. I sighed, rubbing my eyes, and scrubbing a hand over my face. It was seriously throwing me for a loop that we had traitors in our pack and in our ranks yet again. Would there ever come a day when traitors would no longer exist within Nightshade? It was like an endless cycle that we could never break from. Ada and Anya deserved justice. What would that be though? How much would be enough? Honestly, nothing would ever be enough because they suffered far too much. I grabbed the framed scan of our pups from my desk and smiled at it. They were such a blessing alrea

ELLE His daughter. Anya was his daughter. I tried, and failed, to understand what that claim meant because he willingly murdered his own pup. He did not know she was alive, and he never would. He was a threat that we would eliminate before he could even think about sending any harm her way. “You knew who Ada was to you,” Kade said, coming to the same conclusion that I did. “Of course, I did,” he said nonchalantly. “Ada was a full-blooded witch. I was only half-blooded. However, I knew that a child between the two of us would yield even stronger magic than if I sought someone else out. It was for the greater good.” Kade did not like that at all, so a shadow slid across the bastard’s throat, strangling him. My mate held it for a count of five before the shadow relaxed but did not move from his throat. “You mean it was for your greater good,” I spat coldly. He smirked at me and looked very pleased with himself. I returned the smirk with one of my own because he was about to see a s
Fated Rejection - Fated Claim Chapter 126
KADE I woke up with a start, heart pounding, and not understanding what was going on. It felt like my emotions were drowning me. Elle’s side of the bed was cold, causing me to jump out of bed and find her. We still had no idea who the hell killed Ada, so we had no idea who we could trust outside of our own leadership. We had been down the road of traitors before, but I did not expect us to be back there once again. Was this a cycle we would always face? I threw on some shorts and went to find my mate. It was not hard to find her, but my heart broke when I did. She was in the living room, rocking back and forth on the floor, sobbing her heart out. “I’m here, darling. I’ve got you,” I murmured as sat down and pulled her onto my lap. She buried her face in my chest and continued to cry for Ada and Anya. I was right there with her as tears welled up in my eyes as well for them and for her as well. My mate was the strongest person that I knew. She survived years of being tortured in e
