There will be another chapter up later. Any POVs that you'd like to see?
ZIYAH “She’s losing a lot of blood,” the surgeon said. Dr. Hastings was one of the best trauma surgeons on this side of the country. Luckily, he had been visiting his sister who lived in our pack. This was not the first surgery that I had overseen. I trained as a combat medic and have been brought into countless surgeries because of my experience as well as my healing magic. Unfortunately, not everything could be easily healed. This was one such instance. “Does she have any blood relatives here? Parents or siblings?” he asked me. “Not parents or siblings. She has a cousin that lives here. We can bring in her grandparents if that’ll help,” I told him quickly as I continued helping him to irrigate the wounds. I heard him curse underneath his breath when her blood pressure dropped down. ‘C’mon, Angel. You need to fight. Your mates need you. We all need you. Fight, sweetheart,’ I sent to her and flooded some love and strength into her as well. “Grandparents will have to do. I can t
GABRIELI saw Angel being attacked both by Carl and by Lucy every time that my eyes closed. It made me feel like I was losing my damn mind. It was as if the universe was reminding me how poor of a mate I was that I could not even protect my other half.A warmth covered my hand, pulling my attention away from burning a hole in the ceiling. I had not even realized that anyone had walked into the room. Aunt Ziyah and Uncle Dante were standing beside the bed.“Any changes?” she asked quietly.About ten hours have passed since she got out of surgery. They said that she would wake up whenever her body and mind were ready to. Unfortunately, they could not tell us how long that might be. Hours, days, weeks, months, etc. Only time would tell. Well, I would like to tell time that it fucking sucked.“Not yet. I know that we need to be patient, but we’re really worried that there’s still been no change,” I admitted.What if she had gone through too much trauma lately? Not only did she have to deal
ANGELI was waiting for someone to make the next move because I needed to play it safe for now. Rushing into a two-on-one fight was a really stupid move because it pushed the single fighter into a series of reaction instead of strategic action.Garrison and Deluca came at Athena from either side, attempting to distract me, thinking that I would only be able to focus on one. How in the hell was Garrison a warrior here? It was a laughable thought. I was certain that even Willow could best him.Deluca tapped into his wolf’s speed and rushed at me. He brandished a hunting knife that looked fairly sharp. It was serrated and would do a lot of damn damage if he was able to use it on me. I would prefer that not to happen.Athena whipped her body around when he got close enough, tossing him away like a fly being swatted.The silver chain burned as it was wrapped around Athena’s neck. She let out a warning growl, the only one that they would receive. Nobody could blame us for what would happen i
GRANTI had no idea what to expect when we realized that the mindlink was a trap. We popped back to the hospital and rushed into the room.The scene had been a huge disaster. It looked like a warzone. There were broken machines, everything was thrown about, and there was blood smeared throughout the room.Athena, our amazing warrior wolf mate had fought for her life against two attackers and came out on top. Thank the Goddess that she was trained by Mama Faye and was a naturally gifted fighter. It made sense, knowing what Athena was.My brother and I felt like we failed her again. Had we been here then nothing like this would have happened. She would not have been harmed at all. Speaking of her being harmed, there was something that did not make sense. Nothing in the bond fluctuated. There had not been any signs of pain or fear, nothing to suggest that she was being attacked. Remo had also not been alerted.‘Athena said that they had soundproofed the room so that the guards wouldn’t be
ANGELAthena pointed out a total of six people that she felt needed to be monitored because their reactions to what was being shared were suspicious. I made certain to share their faces with my mates after the pack meeting concluded.It seemed that my mates had also picked up on their reactions and promised that they would be watched.Sadly, we had no way to tell who all was either a part of this or willing to be. How many people were in this pack that were willing to betray it for the right price? How many people would destroy the peace that we had here?A part of me felt like this was all my fault. Josef sent Maxine here to learn everything she could about the pack and about me. Now, our pack was being threatened because of Josef’s obsession with me. While he was no longer here, he set the wheels in motion before he died. We had war.‘It’s not your fault. Julio would’ve found out who you were even if Josef never found you. He still would’ve found out about the prophecy. Here’s the th
ATHENADenton lived alone, but there was no telling if anyone else was there. That was precisely why we had to be quick and covert.We had everyone on standby just in case something went south. Hopefully, it would not, but we needed to be prepared.His house was in one of the outer subdivisions where many warriors lived. It was close to the barracks and training center. Luckily, it was dark outside. That was certainly a plus right now. Unfortunately, casting a cloak was not an ability that we had. However, our mates could manipulate the shadows to help cloak us.‘Be safe, our warrior mate,’ Grant whispered through the open link between the three of us.‘Definitely be safe or else we’ll just slaughter the fuckheads,’ Gabriel said with a smirk on his deliciously handsome face.‘Same goes for you two as well.’They kissed their marks and let the shadows take over. The door was locked, so a shadow went into the keyhole, effectively unlocking it. The door slowly swung open.We slipped insid
GRANTTonight brought a lot of new information to light and would take a moment to wrap my head around it all.First off, Athena was really fucking brutal. Nobody should fuck with her. Goddess, she was magnificent. There was something extremely sexy seeing her being an Avenging Angel like this. One thing that my wolf and I agreed on was that our mates were so fucking perfect.Secondly, Mama Faye and Athena had apparently both been warriors on the battlefield. It was really cool that they had known each other in that regard. Neither of them had given any of us the impression that they had known each other like that. It did not matter either way. I could definitely see warrior-like traits in them both though. Brutal was the both of them.Thirdly, it would appear that Athena had the ability to see inside of someone’s mind, according to Ghost. That was really cool. It was a damn good thing that I did not have anything to hide from my mate. My brother and I were open books for both of them.
ANGELHad I ever mentioned how epic my wolf was? Athena took charge and set things in motion that would give us the upper hand in all of this. I had to believe that we would all be okay in the end unless I wanted to break down yet again with fear of what could possibly lay ahead.Knowing that the Goddess Athena had created the blueprint of my Athena still blew my mind. She was a true warrior wolf. She had shared with me that this was the first life where she was able to have a family. There was only so much of life that one could live while fighting on the front lines. One thing that I knew with absolute certainty was that we would both appreciate each experience with our family and loved ones as they occurred. We would never take our lives for granted.“How’s it going?” I heard from behind me.I turned around and saw Jaxon. He was proudly supporting Sansa’s mark on his neck. Those two were absolutely perfect for each other. They certainly had a great future ahead of them. I would be f
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
