Six Months Later

I woke up that morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. Lena’s fighting skills are on another level. She and I sparred last night because we weren’t sleepy. I have never come so close to having my ass handed to me. Only six months of training, and we are almost equal in fighting strength.

I laid in bed and stretched, groaning as I felt every single sore muscle. I reached to the other side of the bed and found my mate was not there. I did, however, smell coffee. Like a lifesaving elixir, I was drawn to it. But, first, I needed a shower and to get dressed.

After taking my shower, brushing my teeth and putting on a white tank top and light blue jeans. I put on my Nike trainers and went to the kitchen.

I poured a cup of coffee for myself and went to the living room. I walked out the front door and sat on the porch swing, with my coffee in hand, lost in thought.

Isaac stepped onto the porch and sat next to me. He put his arm over my shoulders and pulled me close, “Wh

Looks like Lena is developing quite the skill set. I would love to read your comments.

    As we finished eating breakfast, I noticed that Lena had a faraway look in her eyes. I nudged my mate and mind linked, “It looks like our daughter is having an oracle moment.” I put a notebook in front of her and a pen in her hand. I asked, “Would you like to write it down?”Lena gripped the pen and touched it to the paper. She started writing, still in a trance-like state. I watched as she continued to fill three pages of paper, then it was all over. She silently read what she wrote and her face became pale. She lowered her gaze and I watched a tear fall from her eyes and land somewhere in her lap.I asked, “What is it, sweetheart?” She shook her head, “Mom, I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you or dad. It has to do with your future and I am not allowed to tell you anything that will change your destiny. I want you both to live a long and happy life with me and my brothers and sisters.” I gaped at her while my mate chuckled, “Are you saying we will adopt more children?” She smiled and nodde

    Delphine sneered back at Queen Winnie, “Winnie, I should’ve recognized your work. Nice job controlling my rogues.” Winnie laughed, “That’s child’s play. Move and I will sic the whole lot of them on you.” She smiled, “You know you will not stop me from getting what I want.” Winnie shrugged, “I will do everything in my power to make sure you won’t.”Back in the safe room, Lena and I were watching the events unfold at the gate when the movement on another camera caught my eye. I looked more closely and found that we had more witches approaching from the forest behind my house! I sent a mind link to Kenny, “Kenny! Isaac is at the gate with a dark witch and we have more approaching from the forest behind our house.”Kenny was about to answer when I watched as the witches being levitated and carried to join Delphine on the other side of our gate. Our daughter carried them to the area and lowered them to a reasonable distance off the ground and dropped them roughly. They landed with an “oomph

    By the time all of the morning’s events were over, it was nearly lunch time. I sighed, “Half the day is almost over. Ugh. Why don’t we all go to the pack house for lunch? I’ll make steaks for supper tonight.” Lena smiled, “Let’s do that. I want to see pop anyway.” I turned to Isaac and Winnie and laughed, “She knows pop watched what she did with the witches.” Lena blushed as she put her Nikes on and we all left for the pack house.When we walked into the doors of the pack house, we went straight to the dining room and started filling our plates. As soon as we sat down, we saw Kenny and Kyra fill their plates. Lena stood and waved them over and they nodded in acknowledgement. Kenny sat next to Lena and gave her a one-arm hug, “Great job on those witches this morning, kiddo.” She smiled, “It wasn’t just me. Mom was a badass too.”Kyra laughed, “Oh yeah, she is. I really liked the Delphina-cube.” I laughed, “It shut her up. That’s all I wanted. I knew she was trying to stall to make sure

    Alex POVWhen the truck hit my side of the SUV, I knew this was intentional. I saw the two SUV’s ahead of us stop and reverse, then I heard the ones behind us get in battle position. Two of our warriors immediately shifted and jumped into the open windows of the truck, ripping out their throats, but not before our SUV was flipped onto my Luna’s side.I watched as she slammed her head into the window and went unconscious. I mind linked Isaac that we were hit immediately on impact, so he should be on his way here. I was trying to stay in the vehicle to protect Zariah until he got there with our ambulance and more warriors.A dark witch approached us and suddenly I felt the SUV floating. I had to grab onto Zariah to prevent her from falling out of the broken window. When we saw a bolt of lightning and then a ball of ice hitting the witch, I knew my Alpha was there. Our SUV floated back to the road and Isaac ran to us.He yelled, “Alex! Is Zariah in there?” I nodded, “She is. She was knock

    Zariah POVWhen everything went black, I honestly thought I was dead. The only thing that reminded me I was alive was a pounding in my head. I couldn’t hear anything anymore. I must have fallen asleep, or something, because it didn’t take long for the Moon Goddess to show up in front of me with absolutely nothing around her this time… only black.She gave me a concerned look, “Hello Zariah.” I must have looked confused because she laughed lightly, “It’s going to be okay, my child. You and Alex were in a car accident. Everyone is mostly okay. Your injuries were the most severe. I am here to keep you calm and to ease your pain while you heal.Your head hurts because you shattered the car window with it. You have a couple other injuries, but Onyx is healing those quickly. Your head injury is bad. The doctors are going to perform surgery on your head to ease the pressure on your brain. I will stay with you to help you through it.”I asked, “Was this the work of the dark witches?” She nodde

    I asked, “Is he still alive?” Isaac answered, “He is. I wanted to see if you could get more information from his mind.” I nodded, “Onyx is telling me that we both need time to rest and heal some more. Probably a few more days. I really think I need to listen to her.” Lena agreed, “You should rest, mom. Dad and I will be here for you and there are guards outside the door.”I smiled and lightly squeezed Lena’s hand, “You are so sweet, but you both need to be doing other things. The Moon Goddess visited me while I was out. I need both of you to really start practicing your abilities and start coming up with strategies for fighting the dark witches. It won’t be long before the attack we’ve been dreading. Sweetheart, I need you to practice your abilities with Queen Winnie.”I turned to Isaac, “Love, I need you to practice your abilities too. When I get out of here, I will do the same. You might also want to talk with Abby and Damien. Selene said they are preparing for a war with dark witche

    I chuckled at Queen Winnie’s bluntness, “Hello, Queen Winnie. How are you?” She laughed out loud, “Oh, honey, I’m okay. I’m sorry to just barge in and start making demands. I’m just almost in panic mode.” I furrowed my brows, “What’s wrong?” She answered, “I spent some time with your friend in the cells and was able to extract some thoughts.”I asked, “Did you find out who the mole is?” She nodded, “I did, but I have no idea how this person is getting the information that they needed to find you.” I asked, “Who is it?” She answered, “Her name is Katrina. She is a kitchen omega.”I sighed and shook my head, “I left the pack that day to order pork from a human hog farm and beef from a local beef ranch. The lead omega in the kitchen mind linked me to let me know we only had a few days’ supply of each before we ran out.”I suggested, “I would be willing to bet Katrina was the one who told the lead omega we were running very low. Our lead kitchen omega is really good about letting me know w

    Zariah POVI was sleeping so peacefully when I felt Isaac get white-hot angry, then immediately tempered it down. I immediately chalked it up to getting information on the mole and the situation with the dark witches. I decided that if he didn’t feel the need to wake me up and tell me, that meant it was being handled. I was never more grateful that I had such a considerate mate.Onyx sighed, “I can’t sleep. Something is irritating me.” I mentally rolled my eyes, “I do not want to deal with you being grumpy.” She rebutted, “But something is going on. Even something our mate doesn’t know. We need to talk to the omega.”I asked, “Are we healed enough to discharge from the hospital?” She whimpered, “Can’t we just go talk to her and come back? We really need more sleep, but I need to see her and look into her brain.” I nodded, “Alright. I guess. Let’s ask the doctor.”I mind linked my doctor, “Would it be possible to go speak with a prisoner in the cells and come right back? My wolf is tell

    After the initial crowd of people were let out of the gates, I turned to Isaac, “That’s not all of them. There is one face, in particular, that was not present.” My mate nodded, “I know. I have already sent warriors to get them.” I suddenly watched his eyes glaze over and I knew something was wrong.When his eyes cleared, he growled, “The warriors are having to forcefully bring her and her entire family here. They are refusing to leave.” I sighed, “I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this.” I mind linked Lena, “Hey sweetie, can we use your levitation skills for a bit? We have an argumentative family. They are giving our warriors a hard time about leaving.”She smiled, “Sure, mom. Can I use your computer to look at the cameras?” I smiled, “Please do.” It didn’t take long before the entire family floated to the gate. Isaac smirked, “I never even thought to use our daughter’s ability.” I shrugged, “That’s why you have me, love. We complement each other.”When the family was placed on the gro

    After hearing all of them whine and cry on the way out of the pack house, Isaac and I went to the dining room to join our children. When we reached the dining hall, all three of them waved us over to our table. Isaac escorted me to the table and I asked, “Would you please get a glass of tea for me?”Isaac nodded and went to the beverage station to prepare our drinks and I turned to our children, “Blaine, you don’t have to worry about any of them hurting you again. They are being banished. Your dad and I just need to do the official banishment in about an hour.”Blaine asked, “Why in an hour?” I answered, “Because there are a couple of them that did things to you that were so awful that I want every trace of them gone. I want every single family member gone. You understand me, don’t you?” He nodded, “I understand. Thank you, mom.”Isaac sat my coffee in front of me and then took a seat next to Blaine, “We would do anything to keep all of our kids safe.” Blaine asked, “Wouldn’t you do an

    Ten minutes later, we were all in Isaac’s office, waiting for the rest of the employees from the orphanage to arrive. I sat in my wheelchair next to Blaine while my girls sat on the couch on my other side. Isaac sat at his desk, smiling at all of us.I asked, “What has you so happy, love?” He smiled, “If you could see what I see, you would be happy too. Seeing my whole family together makes my heart happy.”Blaine furrowed his brow, “What do you mean?” I smiled, “Let me see.” I was able to easily access Isaac’s mind and look through his eyes. I smiled at the sight and turned to the kids, “I wish we could frame this memory and display it in the main foyer. It’s absolutely perfect.”I projected the photo onto the white wall and all of our kids gasped. Lena laughed, “Mom, you need to warn us before you do that. Blaine didn’t know you could do it.” I looked Blaine in the eyes, “Son, you are a special wolf in a family of special wolves. We are going to keep this a secret until you are older

    Blaine looked at Isaac and me with determination, “I can tell you who the abusers are, Luna.” I moved my wheelchair close to his and asked, “Are you okay, sweetheart?” He nodded, “I will be okay. I always am.” I smiled, “I know you are. I want to know how you would feel about being able to call the alpha and I your mom and dad?”His eyes went wide as he asked, “Can I call Heather and Lena my sisters?” I laughed as Lena walked in, holding Heather’s hand, “You better, because we will be calling you our little brother.” Blaine smiled, “I would love that, Luna.” Isaac asked, “Do you know what that means, Blaine? Do you know what it means to be our only son?”Blaine shook his head as he furrowed his brows in confusion, “I don’t, Alpha.” Isaac knelt down to his level, “It means you will be my heir. You will be the next alpha of our pack. Would you like that?”Blaine’s eyes went wide again, “I would be happy just having you as my family.” I smiled, “Well, you will also have that for the rest

    *Trigger warning… Description of child abuse in this chapter. *As soon as I was dressed, the salesman from the wheelchair manufacturer brought my new custom wheelchair into the room. After he made some adjustments, I was happy that I finally had my new wheels. I started moving around the room and feeling like I was fidgeting in my seat.Nurse Aadi walked in with paperwork in her hand, “Luna, it’s time for discharge instructions.” I held out my hand and she approached me, “I’m very sorry for leaving you the way I did.” I chuckled, “It’s fine. I understand completely. This is an emotional time. I have something to ask you.”Aadi raised her brow, “Ask away.” I asked, “Would you be willing to be my personal assistant and nurse? I would make sure to allow you time to volunteer at the orphanage, if you want, and you would also be Blaine’s nurse, because we are adopting him as soon as we leave the hospital.”Aadi smiled, “I would love to accept the position. Would it be wrong if I don’t give

    Four hours later, I was in my hospital room trying, and failing, to take a nap. I had too much on my mind and I would start sobbing at random times. I could not find peace within myself at all. I felt so guilty that we could not protect her the way she needed us to.I suddenly felt so heavy that I had no choice but to sleep. As soon as the darkness fell around me, I was immediately surrounded by the brightest light I had ever seen. It was red too. My first thought was, “Shit. I have pissed off the Goddess.” Then I heard her voice, “Yes, you have. Zariah, you know more than anyone that you cannot control the actions of other people.”I cheekily responded, “Well, actually, you did give me a certain ability.” The light got brighter, if that was even possible, “You cannot control what they do on their own. Do not patronize me right now. I’m not in the mood for games. Now. This is what you will do. You will stop feeling sorry for yourself. None of this is about you. It’s about your pack, yo

    Aadi and I went to the room where Cheyenne was waiting to be taken for burial preparation. I was immediately struck by the amount of blood that was on the sheet covering her body. Apparently, Aadi was also stricken by the sight because she ran to Cheyenne’s body and collapsed onto it.I asked, “Exactly what was your relationship with Cheyenne, Aadi?” She answered, “Cheyenne was my late mate’s baby sister. She took shelter in this pack after running from a human testing facility. She destroyed the place on her way out of it.”I asked, “Did you know that Blaine is her biological son?” She nodded, “I did. Cheyenne swore me to secrecy. I was with her when she gave birth to him.” I asked, “Do you know who his father is?” She shook her head, “No. I don’t know exactly who he is. I know he was a rogue and a trafficker who had sold her to the lab. He took her virginity on the way to sell her. He’s an evil man. It’s a wonder that she was able to give birth to Blaine.”I cried, “So much for one s

    I asked my nurse to help me scoot into my wheelchair and get me to the Emergency Department. She gasped, “But Luna, it’s almost time for your physical therapy.” I responded shortly, “They are bringing Cheyenne in and it’s not looking good. I need to be there. We can reschedule PT until later. It’s not like I’m getting out of here today.”The nurse helped me scoot into my wheelchair and we took off for the Emergency Department like a bat out of hell. When we got there, I found my mate and he was holding our sobbing daughters closely. Heather was the first to see me and she ran to me, “Momma! She’s gone.” I sobbed, “I’m so sorry, sweetheart.”While Heather climbed into my lap, Isaac approached, “She’s right. They couldn’t save her. Her heart had been still for too long.” I shook my head and started crying. The nurse beside me growled, “I need to see her.” I asked Isaac, “Do you think she and I could go see her?” He answered, “Yeah. I can get you both back there.”I asked, “Are you going

    TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic abuse scene ahead (this chapter only)It had been two days since we initially spoke with Cheyenne about being my private nurse and assistant and we haven’t seen her since then. I was starting to get worried about her. I was still in the hospital because I had not completed my physical therapy requirements. My doctor wanted to be sure I could perform all activities of normal daily living safelyWhen the morning nurse came to take her morning vitals, I asked, “What happened to Cheyenne?” The nurse asked, “We are sending one of our coworkers to her place right now. She didn’t call in to let us know she won’t be in. That’s not like her at all.” I suggested, “Let me check on her before anyone goes in.”I watched as the nurse mind linked the coworker to hold off going to Cheyenne’s house, then I tried to get inside Cheyenne’s mind to see what she was seeing at that moment. It was harder than usual to do it, and then I saw nothing in her mind at all. That scared me b
