Here's today's bonus chapter. Thank you for your continued support!
KADE It seemed like there was a constant cycle of betrayal, pain, and anger that was constantly in motion lately. Our pack had always been like a family. We had each other’s backs and would protect it at all costs. At least that was what I thought. I never gave thought to having so many traitors here who had been at it for so long. The only way to ensure that there were no more traitors was to place the pack under an Alpha command to verify everyone’s credibility. That thought tore at me because I never wanted to be one of those Alphas. However, now I was forced to wonder if my pack members were treasonous bastards. Elle and I were just waiting for the cue to enter the meeting hall. I truly did not want to do this, but I had no other choice. Sparks danced along my skin as my mate placed soft kisses along my neck and jaw. I looked at her in wonder. She honestly did not hold hatred for what those bastards did to her. She hated them for what they did to our pack and to me. How could
ELLE I was very excited to attend training. None of us ever officially trained with a pack while at Blue Crest. However, it did not mean that we could not fight. We were all pretty damn lethal when need be. I was curious to see how we stacked up against Nightshade because we had all heard rumors about the beasts that their warriors were. “How’s everything divided up for training?” I asked Kade while we were tying our shoes. He looked sexy in his white tank top and black basketball shorts. The outfit showed off his strength, and that was a huge turn-on. I could not wait to see him in all of his glory today. His eyes slowly swept over my outfit and let out a low growl of approval. My silver shorts came to mid-thigh, and I donned a fitted black tank top. My hair was set in a high ponytail to keep it out of my face. Kade’s arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me into his body. His lips rested next to my ear. “You’re really going to test my resolve today. You look so fucking delec
ELLE Kade made sure that everyone knew what was expected of them. He wanted everyone to get what they wanted and needed today. They all looked confused because they had never met someone like Kade before. They were hesitant when they agreed, but I would make sure to reassure them as much as possible. There were many vehicles that carried everyone. Apollo and Vienna rode with us this time, and I could not help but smile at them. You could see how happy they were with one another. I looked over at Kade and pressed a kiss to his cheek before he put the car in gear. I had never been shopping before, so this was a new experience for me. I knew that many of the others from Blue Crest were in similar positions or had not been since they came to the pack. “We have plans on building a mall in the next couple of years. We have a shopping district right now that has stores for everything anyone could need. If someone honestly can’t find what they want then we can order it online and have it s
TYRE Kade and I always longed to find the one that the Goddess chose specifically for us. Every wolf desired their mate because only through them would true completion be found. Part of us had slowly started giving up hope of finding her because six years had gone by since it became possible. Little did we realize it was because our mate had not reached eighteen until right before we met her. Mate was everything that we could ever desire. She was strong, fierce, gorgeous inside and out, and took care of her people no matter what it cost her. It tore us apart to know what pain she suffered all these years. She was a child thrust into Hell and nobody came for her. She had Gabriel, but not even that fully saved her. They had to endure things that nearly everyone would never be able to relate to. It killed us that our own pack members hurt Mate. However, she still carried on and still survived. She was a warrior and completely unbreakable. Then we had Faye, my kitty. I had never laid e
ELLE “Do you plan on cluing us into why you have a medieval torture table set up?” I asked Dante. The table was laden with everything from different blades to jars to syringes to bowls of herbs. He called us all into his suite but did not explain the reason. That was how Glenn, Cara, Kade, I, Chris, Lindsey, Apollo, Gabriel, their mates, and my parents all came to be standing around, looking at Dante curiously. “Trust me that this is not a torture table. It would be far more fucking creative if it was. This is our table of fucking protection and peace of mind,” he quipped. I loved his personality so damn much. He had a witty response to everything and loved the word fuck, but it was purely Dante, and it made me happy to see that he was not afraid to be himself. Dante pulled out a chair for me and waited until I was sitting to explain the purpose of this all. “I read through the book and came to some disturbing conclusions. Before I get into that, this table will be used to not o
ELLE I blinked my eyes to refocus on the room. Concern laced everyone’s gazes as they looked at me. “You all okay?” I asked, looking around the room. “Are we okay? What the fucking hell just happened to you? Your eyes went completely white, and nothing we said or did could get you to respond,” Dante explained. That would definitely explain the concern. I was still trying to wrap my head around what I just witnessed and learned. It was so far outside of my wheelhouse, but I bet Dante would be able to help me understand it all. “I’ll explain everything if I can get a piece of plain paper and pencil or something to draw with,” I said, taking a long drink of the refreshing water that Gabriel handed to me. Dante wasted no time in grabbing a sketchbook and a set of charcoal pencils. This would definitely work well. This was either Dante’s or Chris’ drawing tools. I set to work drawing Bandore while I explained what happened with excruciating detail because I did not want even the slig
ELLE “Why do you call me Lady Elle instead of just Elle?” I asked him curiously. “Does it bother you?” he asked instead of just answering. I shook my head. “You are my charge and very important. It is the way of my kind. My mother would smack me if I did not show you the respect that you deserve.” His eyes narrowed at the mischievous smirk that found its way onto my face. I just held my hands up in surrender. “Janina is a friend of mine and reached out to me, inquiring about Light Fae essence for a remedy to disrupt a tracker of Dark Fae. I asked her who it was for, so that is why I insisted it be mine. I had a feeling that she knew I was your Protector which is why she contacted me directly. Please explain to me what happened with the Zeltenea.” I looked to Dante because this was his area of expertise, and he seemed to enjoy talking about it when given the chance. He leaned forward with a smirk and recounted the story. My eyes remained on Caiathus because I wanted to see what ty
KADE I had held my mate while she slept last night. Part of me was wary of falling asleep because I felt like I was failing to protect her at every fucking turn lately. Elle had been through so much horror in her life, but more was still coming for her. She had always been a strong pillar of support for her people, and the only way that she could get through each day was to push aside what she could just to keep moving forward. My heart shattered for her when she broke down about feeling those bastards. People always took what they wanted from her, and I had no idea how she was so fucking strong to keep going, but she did. I wanted to destroy every single entity that ever forced a tear from her eye or touched what never belonged to them. Sadly, reality did not work like that. “Here you go,” Apollo said, breaking me away from my thoughts. I took the coffee and thanked him. I was not certain how much sleep I actually got last night, but I knew that it was not much. “Darling, you h
