Don't worry. Granny Ayla will pop up more in this book. Thank you for all of your comments, likes, and gems!
ANGELThe last thing that I remembered was falling into oblivion while being whipped. I was in too much pain to believe that I was dead.I opened my eyes, but I quickly realized that I was in the middle of a vision of the past because I saw my mother. She was sitting on a hotel bed and rubbing her swollen stomach. This had to have been after she had escaped.“I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to make life easier on us. I have to keep moving as long as I can because he won’t stop looking for us. He sought me because of the research and work that I was doing in being able to heal damaged DNA sequences in shifters that would cause the damaged wolves to permanently take over the body. His desire was for me to make it possible to force the wolves to take over. That way he could choose and build his own army that he would control seeing as he’s an Alpha. I’d never do that though. He tried to beat me into submission, but that didn’t work either. So, he did what he thought was the next best t
GABRIEL Five days… It had been five days since she went missing. Five days since we knew that she was okay. Five fucking days since we heard her voice. It was like this fucker was a ghost. Even Dahlia was having a hard time tracking him down. I knew that she felt like a failure because that had never happened before. She had already done more than anyone else could have. Mom linked us to come see her immediately, so hopefully she had some good news. We desperately needed something good to hold onto. If anyone was failures it was my brother and me. We were her mates and had sworn to always protect her. Then she was taken from right underneath our noses. There was no telling what type of hell she was living through because of that fucker. I shook my head to clear those thoughts and knocked on her office door. It looked like a full house between Mom, Dad, Uncle Dante, and Aunt Ziyah. Aunt Ziyah gave us some parthayberries, which we immediately consumed. They were often used by Fae d
ANGELThe anger from my people was palpable. My eyes caught Remo moving to walk behind the bastard. His flames covered his fur. Goddess, I loved my Hellhound. He was something that nobody wanted to cross. He was not only dangerous but absolutely lethal. To me, he was just my adorable and lovable puppy.Honestly, I had never understood why I was paired with Remo because I had never felt that there was anything special enough about me to warrant such a gift. The fact that a God deemed me worthy of that… It left me speechless and humbled.“You passed out after twenty-five lashes,” he stated through gritted teeth. “Alpha had us keep you sedated to run tests, trying to figure out what was different about you. Not only did you resist my compulsion, but we could also feel the power radiating off of you. The doctor harvested some of your DNA, bone marrow, and eggs. Alpha’s goal was to fertilize them himself, believing that they would create more like you that he can mold into whatever he wante
ANGEL “Are you sure?” Grant asked me as he dried me with one of those luxury bath towels. Those towels were the softest thing I had ever felt in my life. My boys knew how to make me comfortable. I gave them both two thumbs way up for making this suite fit me too. It was a great look into our future. “Yes, I am.” I cupped his cheek and kissed it. “I need to feel you claim me all over again. We can’t change what happened, but I want to replace it with memories of us and our bond. I want to focus on your lips, hands, and cocks. I want to focus on how you complete me in the best of ways. I want you to own me.” I might have been begging. Honestly, I had no clue. My body felt starved of them. We only had hours to explore each other after the bond snapped into place before Maxine pulled her bullshit. It was not enough, not at all. They looked at me as if I had said the magic word. The hunger in their eyes flooded my body with need. It was exhilarating to know that I had two irresistible
ANGEL “Do you think they’re back yet? I’d like to pay Maxine a visit,” I said after round three. If this was what our sex life was like while I was not in heat, I could not even begin to imagine what it would be like then. It always felt like I could not get enough even if I had just orgasmed. That was how good they made me feel. It was incredible. They both knew how to make my body sing for them. “Mhm. They put her in isolation,” Grant informed me. Rage poured off of both of them with the mention of her. I could not blame them at all because I was also filled with rage regarding her. Honestly, if the situation was reversed, I doubted that I would have been able to stop myself from destroying the one who took them away from me. “Let’s throw some clothes on. No shower necessary because I want her to smell you both on me. Taking a step back and looking at it objectively, I can see that she had always been obsessive about you two. She would always shut people down when they gushed o
ANGEL She tried to fight the command, but she was unable to. I wondered how much she hated being underneath my control for once. The entire time that we had known each other, she was the one with the upper hand and some form of control. How the tables had turned. Maxine had only ever seen the caring Angel – the one who loved to take care of others and make them smile. She did not know that there was another Angel hiding underneath the surface. The one who would stop at nothing to protect her people. Maxine was a traitor who had gone against this pack. I had no doubt in my mind that she shared her inside knowledge with Josef. He wanted me to turn against my pack, so he no doubt knew how special Nightshade was. It was a damn good thing that I had never shared with her personal information regarding the people around me. I knew enough about our loved ones that would cause any vindictive asshole to come in guns blazing. However, I would never share someone’s personal information like th
GRANTI loved this new side of Angel. She was sexy as fuck while being in charge and running the show.I chuckled when she danced her way over to the bowl of popcorn and grabbed a handful of it and curtsied to them before sliding back in between my brother and me.Then she held a piece of popcorn to my lips. I opened my mouth and wrapped my lips around her offering. She bit her lip as a spike of lust hit the bond. It made me a smug bastard, knowing that my mate was just as affected by me as I was by her. She then did the same to my brother.We had always appreciated how fair and equal she was to us both. We were never an interchangeable set to her. Never once had she given either of us more attention or affection. The Goddess knew what she was doing when she paired Angel with us.‘Both of our mates are sexy as fuck. They’re usually so sweet, but then our angels turn into something you don’t want to fuck with,’ Ghost growled as he shared that.‘Couldn’t have said it better myself. We’ll
GABRIELOur girl definitely deserved a reward for this epic performance right here. It was sexy as all fucking hell to see her like this. She commanded and demanded control over the delusional bitch known as Maxine.It had also been fucking hilarious to watch our mate taunting Maxine by flaunting our bond. It was clear that Maxine had wanted us. We never would have accepted Maxine even if she had been fated to us. Angel was the only choice that we would accept.‘Dahlia is currently doing deep dives on the electronics that we found at the compound. Everything of potential value was also brought back, including all of the files. She’ll let us know when she finds anything beneficial,’ Dad explained.That was good to know because there was a very real threat right now, knowing that Maxine had opened up her mouth.The good news was that we had a heads-up right now and could alter patrols accordingly. Aunt Ziyah was also a great resource when it came to protecting our packs’ territories. It
To all of my amazing readers,I want to send out my deepest gratitude for all of your support with not only “Fated to the Alpha’s – Chased by Chaos” but also the rest of the books within the Fated Universe. The beginning of “Fated Rejection – Fated Claim” had been a brief brush stroke that continued until something much bigger evolved. Each new character, each new journey, and each new struggle painted even more depth.The moment that Elle held an infant Angel in her arms was the moment that I realized what her fate would end up being. It took patience to get us to the point where their journey would begin, but it was worth the wait. I was thrilled with the amazing support that I found within each comment, each like, each gem, and each word of encouragement.The introduction of Caiathus in the first book was really the first crack that hit the wall between the supernatural species. I knew then that the Fated Universe would not be complete unless it paid homage to the diversity within t
VIOLETI stood at the cliff’s edge and watched as the sun peeked over the horizon, painting the sky a plethora of colors. It normally signified the beginning of a new day, but today it signified a possible beginning of the end.Life had not been easy. There was always a fight occurring. It was Mom fighting for us in the beginning. Then it was me fighting for my sister once Mom was gone. Now, it was me fighting for them both.It was crazy to think about how much my life had changed since that night – the night when I learned the truth.I once heard someone say, ‘people can’t change the truth, but the truth can change people.’ That quote stuck with me because it was simplistic yet had an unmistakable depth to it as well. The truth really did change me. Not only did I find out that a mere human was precisely what I was not, but I also found out that Mom didn’t actually die two years ago. Nope. She was betrayed by her husband and given over to a group of sadistic assholes who hunted supern
BLAKELYI had always prided myself on my strength, just like many of those from Alpha blood did. However, I felt anything but strong lately.It was ironic that all it took was someone who was supposed to be my soulmate to destroy what I had once thought were the best parts of who Blakely Ayla Rosenthall was.Not everything was Kol’s fault. I was fully aware of that, but it did not change the way my heart was breaking a little more each time something like this happened.My wings propelled me from the ground, leaving behind a guilt-ridden Kol. My eyes burned as tears filled them. They could not be contained no matter how hard I tried to keep them at bay.His words rang in my head, bouncing around like a cannonball set to destroy everything in its path.‘What a selfish fucking whore you are. All you care about is yourself. I don’t fucking need you and would be better off without you.’It was the work of an internal binding that we had yet to find a reversal for. Its magic always took hol
EMERSONIt had been a year since we took our posts as Nightshade’s leadership. While I would love to say that it had always been smooth sailing, that would be a damn lie.Six months ago, we had another pack issue an official challenge. It was not a common thing to do but did occasionally occur. Instead of infiltrating a pack, Alphas could technically challenge for a pack instead. You had the right to decline, but that would make it appear to other packs that you were weak.Instead of challenging me, they went after Mia, believing that she would be the easier opponent. They were, of course, mistaken. Mia and I were right on par with each other. The fucker cheated and got some wolfsbane into her. Thankfully, she inherited Mom’s affinity for light and used it to burn the wolfsbane off. She ended up winning the challenge, which then invalidated the claim to his own pack.It was a damn good thing that he had challenged her because his pack was suffering underneath his leadership. People wer
MIAI was incredibly thankful that Atlas came to find me when I had run away from him. A coward, that was what I had been and needed to escape before I fell completely apart. That would not be something that I could come back from…To know he actually craved me in the same way that I craved him was absolutely invigorating. It was liberating too.I had always harbored a secret crush on Atlas. Our parents were very close, so we grew up together. He had always been that bright soul who made sure everyone was taken care of. He would go out of his way to ensure that people were happy. Goddess, he was innately empathetic just like his mother. He was also a warrior just like his father.Ryker, his father, had been someone that my parents always admired because he did not know the meaning of the word quit. Many people had thought he would fail as a warrior simply because he was human, but he told them to sit back and watch him shine. He did not become a warrior only because my parents inducted
GRANT(Five years following Epilogue 2)Goddess, it felt like yesterday when my brother and I were experiencing this day ourselves. It was one that we had both looked forward to and dreaded at the same time. Our eighteenth birthday – the day when we could scent our mate, came with a set of complex emotions.We had been in love with Angel for years prior to that day. We had decided that we would finally open up to her and share our hearts while praying that she was receptive to it all.We had always been confident guys, knowing who we were to our family, our friends, and our pack. However, we had both been insecure when it came to Angel because she was our dream, and one that we had desperately wished to come true. We had been afraid of facing any kind of rejection when it came to her because Angel was it for us.The day that we turned eighteen turned out to be one of the highlights of our life because we were granted our deepest desire. We were granted our completion.Life had its ups
ANGEL(8 years after Epilogue 1)Today was going to be a great day! It was Mia and Emerson’s thirteenth birthday party.This was one of two big pack-wide birthday celebrations for our heirs. The next would be when they turned eighteen just like we had done when my boys had turned eighteen.Goddess, it felt like a lifetime ago when I had taken the cowardly way out and avoided their party all because I was terrified that they would find a mate that was not me. I had shed so many tears over a possible reality, which turned out to be wasted because they had always been mine with, or without, a fated mate-bond.It felt just like yesterday when the bonds snapped into place.Many people have asked me what it was like to have two mates. It was a difficult concept for some people to wrap their heads around. It was different for us because the three of us had always been inseparable. We were an efficient team. So, the transition was seamless because we were the same as we had always been but wit
GABRIEL(Five years later)Life was one hell of a rollercoaster. That was the best way to explain it.Our leadership had all been nervous as fuck to step into our roles, but it was the utmost honor to be given the chance to serve our people. It was something that we never took for granted.Nightshade flourished quite a bit over the past five years.The programs that we began had made quite an impact. There was a lot of excitement about the warrior program that began earlier. There was a huge turnout in year one. Each subsequent year gained even more popularity. Ryker was the one to spearhead the program, and we were incredibly proud of what he was able to accomplish.The ambassador program that we developed was actually picked up by allied packs because they saw the usefulness of it. Angel had developed a course that walked leaderships through how to create their own program for it. Just like everything she touched, the course became gold.The trade school was a booming part to our pac
Please Read:There are a couple of things that I would like to share with you.First of all, I want to thank everyone for their support of the Fated Universe – The Fated Series, Dark Moon Series, Legacies of Fate Series, and the Legacies of Destiny Series. There has been an overwhelming reader base who have been with these characters since the beginning of Kade and Elle’s journey in ‘Fated Rejection – Fated Claim.’Secondly, after a lot of deliberation, I have decided that the upcoming books within the Fated Universe, such as ‘Fated Bonds – Caught in a Web of Secrets’ and ‘Destined Bonds – The Hybrid Prince and His Little Witch’ will be moving over to R E A M. That is still in the works, but I will keep you updated on it all. A lot of cool things will happen over there. This includes ongoing books, bonus chapters that feature our favorite characters from the Fated Universe, character fact sheets, inside looks into upcoming works, and more.I know that many of you have been eager for Gr
