Up next is the reemergence of Sophia.
GABRIELI knew how much Sophia’s return meant to Angel. It was something that she had never thought was possible but had longed for more time with her, knowing that her time was limited before Sophia would return to Selene’s realm.It was a good thing that she had not slept in our bedroom last night or else she would not have gotten any sleep because I kept waking up due to nightmares about what I had done to her.Angel might not have blamed me nor was she angry at me for what happened. Despite her stance on it, I was furious at myself for hurting her and for the things that I had said to her. I nearly killed my own mate.Had my brother not stopped me…I jumped in the shower, desperately wishing that I could escape my thoughts, but it was not as simple as that. Wish in one hand and shit in the other…The good news was that we had the bitch in our custody and would have fun paying her back for what she had done.There was going to be a meeting this morning regarding the Demacore war, bu
SOPHIAI closed my eyes as tears burned them, trying desperately to keep that at bay.My emotions were all over place right now, and I wondered if I would ever be able to fully unweave the knotted ball of circumstance so that I could effectively analyze everything that has happened.It was literally a lifetime ago when I was abducted by Josef’s team. His people had been laying in wait and intercepted me before I could make it to the ceremony where I was going to be awarded for my work in gene repair.Josef was cruel, sadistic, and had no damn morals. He would do anything and everything just to get what he wanted. It did not matter what he did to me because I would never bow down to his demands because I refused to give him weapons that would destroy those who opposed him.He had a witch that was able to bypass the need to mark me in order to conceive. The only solace at that time was the fact that he did not pass me around to his men because he would not take the risk of anyone else fa
LUCASI had always wanted to find my mate, but I had faith that it would happen when it was meant to. It made me wonder if Sophia had always been intended to be mine, as in the Goddess knew that she would be brought back when she was. Either way, all I cared about was the fact that I had finally found my completion.Now, the fact that it was SOPHIA CARSON still had my head spinning. She was super fucking brilliant. She had been a leader in her field, advancing things further than anyone else had before her. It was odd to think that my mate was the same person whose work enticed me so much as to dive deep into biochemical engineering, especially its application within the supernatural community as a whole. However, I also had contacts within the human population that I worked with as well.Part of me wondered what I could possibly bring to this mateship. She was just as gorgeous as she was brilliant. She could have any man that she wanted. What if I ended up not being what she wanted?‘
GRANTWe had called our allied leaders from packs, covens, clans, and thunders to come to a meeting so that we could address the upcoming war. There were a fuckton of people in attendance.Kalen and Maddox did a hybrid aura/truth command, pushing it out over everyone in attendance to flush out anyone who would betray us or the mission. Thankfully, everyone passed that test.Kalen went on to explain everything about Demacores and the upcoming war. Not only would there be Demacores but also other species on their side. Dark Fae, demons, shifters, and powerful witches.The one great piece of information was that all of the Demacores would fall immediately once their commander died at the hands of Maddox and Kalen.It was reassuring to see how many people in attendance either had access to lightning or knew if they people had access to it. Lightning was one such weakness that Demacores had. Aunt Ziyah even mentioned that she would be able to create something that would act as a burst of li
ELLEIt was amazing to witness everyone coming together to fight in this war.Sure, many of us have been through battles or missions at one point or another. War was on a much larger scale. Facing Bandore was not a big deal at all. We also fought battles against the Eyes of Orboro, Girolamo coven, the Dark Fae, and then Andrei the Douche who led the charge to massacre the original Precoza coven.This war would be one that would go down in supernatural history because the outcome would determine the future of everyone. I would be a piss-poor leader if I did not consider all potential outcomes. We would come out victorious, therefore protecting everyone who would have fallen victim to the Demacores. Or we would fail, resulting in everyone’s enslavement or destruction.Those on our side would lay our lives down if necessary to ensure our victory. Unfortunately, I knew that there was no possible way that we would walk away from this war with zero fatalities. We had been extremely lucky whe
ANGELThe past two weeks had been spent training and preparing for war. Tomorrow was D-Day. We would be on the battlefield come midmorning. It seemed like all too soon but all too far at the same time.There was a huge gathering going on in the large clearing between Nightshade and Shadow Falls. BBQ, dance floor, and a bonfire. It was for both of our packs. It was exactly what we all needed to keep our morale up.The truth was that we had no guarantees that we would be coming back from this war. As much as we wanted to keep a positive attitude that all of us would return, we also had to be realistic.I smiled when I saw Elle and Kade dancing together. He had not been happy at all when it came to hearing that Selene had tasked her and Gabriel Rosenthall with rescuing a pup that was being held hostage by Draxthi. Apparently, the pup was like my mates’ family with being descended from her. The only reason that Kade relaxed at all was because Gabriel, my mate’s namesake, had been given a g
JAXONEveryone was gathering at the middle field between Nightshade and Shadow Falls before we made our way over to the battlefield.The main group, which included Maddox and Kalen, would be the first one through. They would be luring Draxthi and Calvin outside. Then we would all make our way to wherever our groups were to be stationed. I could not use my abilities, but that was not going to stop me from kicking some serious baddie ass.I slipped a special amulet over my head. It was a last-minute addition to the plan, one that would bring more strength to our side.(Flashback to last night)‘I need to see you, son.’I kissed the top of Sansa’s head and slipped out of bed without waking her up. This woman had become the most important thing in my entire life. We had not known each other for too long, but I fully understood now what it meant by a soul connection between mates.Slipping on a shirt and shoes, I made me way outside. Dad watched me approach as he was leaning against a tree.
ELLEWe continued on once the witches left. We were solely on the rescue mission. We would fight if necessary, but that was not our primary objective.All of a sudden, I could feel a vibration in the air. There was a little kick from the princess inside of my womb. It was the first time I had felt her kick. My hand covered the outside of my suit. I could not wait to share the good news with Kade.‘The vibration is the tether to her. Follow it,’ Faye urged me.My wolf had never let me down before, so I followed her guidance. We slipped into a room that appeared to be a throne room. Draxthi really needed an interior designer. The murals about war, death, and bloodshed were fairly disturbing because the details made it look like these were done from memory.It was sad to think about all of the pain, chaos, and darkness this place had seen over the years. One day, it would return to what it once was.There was a Demacore in the corner who was actively feeding on someone. The male’s screams
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
