**AELLA** When Elaina pulled me into my bedroom, I thought she was going to yell at me for being here. Or get upset with me for something. But once she slammed the door, she paced for a second and then her eyes landed on me, I knew she wasn't upset with me at all. “Aella, what I am fixing to tell you, it could be big news. It’s something that Colby literally just mind linked me because he didn’t know how to tell you. But me being the Alpha and his best friend I am taking it upon my self to help you both so don’t be mad, okay?” She finished. I had an inkling that I might get mad if she’s asking me not to, but I am pretty good at controlling my anger, so I nodded at her. “Okay, first off, I know about only snipets of what you went through when you were younger. Colby told me his whole life story, about you, never the details, but enough and about how you received your soul. I am his best friend, and he has been speaking of you to me since we met. I figured when the time was right you
**ELAINA**"Dane, do you see anything?" I ask my bestfriend, who is also a werebear.We are scouting a pack we came across on our morning run through our forest. I say out forest because we basically run it."I see two very small frail gaurds walking. Must be on patrol. Elaina, this pack is dying.." He said with a growl through his whisper. He may be a werebear but he hates the mistreatment of others."How do you mean? Like the people are dying or the land is dying?" I ask him."Both.." He says looking back at me.Dane is a brick wall of a bear. He stands 6 feet 8 inches. Raven black hair, bright green eyes. A total knockout. But my bestfriend. Almost like my big brother. Only except I can kick his ass."If the land is dying, Dane. That means whoever this Alpha is had quite literally let darkness take over. Whether physically or emotionally. He is responsible. We need to find out more b
**ELAINA** So the plan to just draw out this Alpha is now in full effect. I told the guards to stay where we brought them to speak. We don't want them getting caught in any crossfires. I have walked in front of the pack house in leggings, my tennis shoes, a sports bra and a ripped down the sides muscle shirt. I look like I am going for the day to the gym. Dane has already made a quick look around the packhouse to ensure no guards are around. I walked right up to the front door and knocked. I hear a growl on the other side of the door but I'm not scared nor intimidated by anyone. Literally. I have fought a damn Lycan before, this Alpha will not scare me. "What do you want, you stray little whore? Come to be my bed pet? Where did you come from?" He said through the door. He can only see me on his cameras, he can't see Dane from where he is standing, especially since Dane knocked all of the cameras out. This is like a mob visit. "You wish you could handle me. Besides, I don't like
**ELAINA** -The next day- The pack members thanked us all night for helping them. We let them choose what to do with Williams’s body. They all decided to burn it. The way you get rid of violent rogues that are harming your pack or child molesters. They figured that would be the only correct way to go. They didn’t even want to feed his body to any animals. Said they didn’t want those poor animals to taste that kind of sh*t. I am waiting on the call from Morris and Erica. Dane is mapping the pump system to each house and pricing on who we should go through to get the plumbing fixed. Some houses can be salvaged but others will have to be torn down and rebuilt. The pack members actually put William within the old packhouse and torched it. We explained to them the things we were going to do with the pack and honestly they were all really excited about it. We told them they could just relax and rest while we got the plans figured out but everyone wanted to help. Everyone was pitching in
**ELAINA** ***Ring Ring Ring*** “Hello? “ “Ahhh is this the great Alpha Elaina? Slayer of Shit Alpha’s?” I know that voice but I’ll play with him a bit. “Oh this can’t be the asshole vampire of a friend that I haven’t seen in ages? Nooo. He would never stop talking to me and then never come around again? Must be another one..” I joke. “Oh non belle. Je suis votre meilleur ami vampire. Vous savez mieux que cela.”(Oh no beautiful. I am your greatest vampire friend. You know better than that..” “Ahh yes, you have to spring the french on me, huh.” I laugh. “But it works every time, jolie fille.(pretty girl.)” He laugh “Easy on the ‘girl’. I am no longer a small little preteen who used to kick your ass in the woods. I am now the, what was it you called me? Slayer of Shit Alpha’s?” We both bust into a fit of laughter. “Do you mind if I come through to your pack? I have some business I am on my way to handle but I have about 2 weeks before I need to get there. I would like t
**SILAS** I am getting ready for the tour of the new hospital in the small town in New Moon Forest. I wonder what the name of the town is. It reminds me of the Twilight movies. Ugh that just makes me cringe. I hope Elaina is nothing like Kristen/Bella. What am I talking about? Why am I worried about what she is like? I am supposed to just be going to the hospital. Talk to the doctors and nurses. Check the equipment. I need to get this stupid haze in my head together. Aaron just walked through the front door of my house. He is always dressed to steal someone's girlfriend. Dark black jeans, a deep grey t-shirt and his front laced boots. I told him the town was in a forest so I guess he is trying to go for the rugged outdoorsman feel. Literal eye rolls are happening now. I decided on some dark blue jeans and tennis shoes with a black and gray plaid shirt. I want to keep my golden blonde hair a little loose. I have the sides of my hair shaved and the top of my hair a little long. I
**ELAINA** I got the mindlink from Colby that Silas and his friend were here to tour the hospital. I have to do this quickly, and make sure everything is ready for the arrival of Valencio. Before I ever even walk out of the tent Colby mindlinks. 'This man is linked to you somehow, Elaina. I'm not sure how yet but he is.' 'What are you talking about Colby? I don't have any more family. You know that. I've told you the stories. How is some human CEO linked to me?' 'He's not just human. I don't think Dane can tell. I also don't think this human hybrid knows he is a hybrid, or aware of werewolves or any other supernaturals either.' 'How can you tell that?' I know Colby has some special abilities but how can he tell what someone knows about themselves? 'You already know I have some abilities Alpha, but you don't know the extent of those abilities but that is one of them. I can sense connections, I can sense other supernaturals' presence before meeting them and what kind after meeting
**ELAINA** I quickly found a couple of the girls in the pack that I have grown fond of. I needed their help. I wanted to look nice tonight but I don't do the girly make up, hair dress up stuff. I braid my hair in different ways for fighting or running and working but I don't know the elegant ways to look. When they finally met me in my small house I was staying next door to them til the pack house was built, I slammed the door and locked it frantically. "Neither of you say anything to anyone, not even your mate Mary-Ann. Colby and Dane know but that is because of Colby's powers and Dane is just nosey." I said with a laugh and rolled my eyes thinking of my nosey bear best friend sniffing around. "Well stop daydreaming already, spit it out bitch!!" Mary-Ann said with so much enthusiasm. Courtney laughed but looked just as excited. "My mate is here...." I said almost in a whisper. They both heard me but I got two different reactions from them. Mary-Ann squealed and jumped so happi
**AELLA** When Elaina pulled me into my bedroom, I thought she was going to yell at me for being here. Or get upset with me for something. But once she slammed the door, she paced for a second and then her eyes landed on me, I knew she wasn't upset with me at all. “Aella, what I am fixing to tell you, it could be big news.

**COLBY**Elaina and Silas have just gotten back from their date, and the way she keeps blushing at him and he keeps growling playfully at her, things must have gone well.I’ll have to ask my best friend how things went. Even if I can feel my heart shattering worrying for my own mate, I am so happy for Elaina. If anyone deserved their mate, it was her. Someone to be fully by her side, take more of the weight of everyone off her shoulders. Me and everyone else do what we can, but her being the Alpha I know thas to be tough.I am waiting on Dane to get here. Aella is taking a shower and changing before meeting everyone. Val shimmered here since it is daylight outside still. I always wondered how mates worked for vampires, but I can’t focus on that. I am having a hard time with Cash. Keeping him at bay with his anger. His fury about our mate. Also, his worry is overwhelming on top of my already haywire emotions.Silas looks my way and asks me if I need anything. I probably look like shit.
**AELLA**Getting a call from my baby brother about a vision he had of his mate being tortured and how he needed to find her cut me deep. I have prayed many nights to the Mystic Kingdom that they would grant him a special and amazing mate. I should have been more specific. But even one who has been tortured can turn out to be the biggest blessing in disguise. I would know. That is how I first got away from being a Demon. My whole life growing up as a Demon, I was taught how to taunt, bribe, steal and anguish others. But I didn't know why I just couldn't do it. And because of that 'incompetence' that they called it, I was traded into a trafficking ring for supernaturals. From the time I was ten years old, I was beaten, sexually abused and physically tortured by other Demons in the trafficking ring. But luckily for me, I was able to escape while helping the others that were there with me escape. I used that experience I gained from those unfaithful years of torture to push me through t
**SILAS** In about 5 minutes after Elaina told me she had a link from Colby and he needed us we showed up to his cabin. I don't know Colby well, but he is now my friend too. Whatever he needs I am here for.. Aaron is up and sitting too. Valencio comes in and now everyone is in attendance. "So what's going on? I think since you called us here something BIG is happening?" Dane asked. Colby starts explaining the vision of his mate, what he felt and what he saw. There are gasps around the room. Now that I had Elaina, I couldn't imagine her being tortured in a vision and hearing her screams. The guys around us all growled, even the new three. You can tell he feels relief that everyone is just as outraged. I can feel my blood boil. "My sister is coming to help me find her." He said with finality. It doesn't seem like Elaina minds. "Aella? When?" Elaina asks excitedly. "She will be here by tomorrow night." He says . I looked at everyone. They kind of looked surprised. I just chuckled an
**SILAS**I felt Elaina's breathing evens out while she lays next to me, facing me. All I can do is stare at her. Only having just met her today and already being so infatuated with her has me reeling. Her perfect dark brown hair that just waterfalls around her in waves. Caressing her shoulders, her skin is so soft and tan. Something so minimal seems to be so significant to me. Her beautiful and long full eyelashes resting against her flustered cheeks. Is it because of the mate bond that she's blushing? Or is she actually asleep? Can she feel me staring at her? I want to whisper her name but I don't want to disrupt her peaceful slumber. Her skin is a beautiful golden color that radiates in the sunshine but is so warm and velvety smooth in the night. She left a lamp on on my side of the bed. My side? Finding out not only about a whole world that was hidden from me, but also that this is rightfully where I belong has sent me into so many questions rolling through my brain.Odin is no h
**SILAS** I smelled her while I was sitting on a cliff. That perfect fucking strawberry smell that I could not get enough of. Why is she running at night time though? And why is she with some guys this late? Alone in the woods? Before I could get upset at that she said my name and it had me basically purring and Odin let out a playful but seductive growl. I sniffed the air again and I could smell she was turned on. I wanted nothing more than to take her right here on the forest floor overlooking this cliff. That would be the perfect way to be intimate our first time, but I could never let anyone see her naked form. Especially not whoever the hell that is behind her and my horn dog best friend, Aaron. “Can you shift and talk to me, Silas? I’d like to discuss all of this.” She asked eagerly and sweetly. I nodded. I shifted and didn’t realize I was naked until the other guy quickly turned around. I am hard as a rock just by catching a whiff of her and seeing her... I start to blush
**ELAINA** I know it's wrong to do. But I couldn't take another minute of not tasting Silas. That man is too damn fine to just let walk away from me with just a kiss. And on top of it he is my mate. My soul's other half. He is amazing in more ways than one and I want him. But when the rogues showed up earlier I didn't think leaving right now would be good for my pack so I stayed behind. But I did. I used my magic and basically teleported me inside of Silas' apartment while he was in the shower. I get wet just thinking about it. And him. If that man is half human, he got all the good genes from both supernatural and human alike. It took two hands to wrap my hands around his dick completely. I have no shame in saying I used teleportation magic to go to my mates house, give him head and teleport home before he realized it was actually me there. He probably thinks he dreamed it. I'll tell him eventually. Once I introduce him to our world, and he is used to me, I will tell him he did
**SILAS** Aaron and I are on our way home. And I just can't get my mind off of her. Elaina. I'm a little worried about a cult following but thinking about it no one is being hurt, they are all extremely happy, and everything Colby told me about her saving the people here. It just wouldn't add up to her being sadistic or harmful. I'm going to have to ask her about it. Probably tomorrow. I kissed her. I put my fingers on my lips, I can still taste her. Sweet like strawberries and so damn mouth watering. How can someone be made so perfectly? I don't really think it's a cult, maybe it is just some way of becoming citizens.. Either way I'll ask her tomorrow. I am going to make her whole day perfect. A whole date day. I have this deep fire rumbling within me, causing this insatiable need to talk to her, feel her, be with her and protect her. "So, my man is showing interest in the town Mayor huh?" Aaron says snapping me out of my thoughts before I can drip back to Elaina and her gorgeo
**ELAINA** I stand next to Silas, my arm wrapped around his and one of my hands in his.. This felt nice. It felt right. Everyone is laughing and dancing. Drinks are being served. Nothing but smiles as far as the eye can see. I look at Aaron and he is even flirting with a few single she-wolves. Boys. This night has gone so smoothly, even with having a human raised mate, nothing out of the ordinary. I think we could date a little bit and then I'll tell him soon about me being a werewolf and an Alpha... I just hope his lineage is what he takes well. ‘And then you had to go and open your big mouth, Elaina.’ Athena snarks. 'ALPHA, OUR BORDERS ARE SURROUNDED BY ROGUES. THEY ARE SNARLING AND SEEM TO BE FERAL. IT FEELS LIKE THEY KNOW THERE IS BOOBY TRAPS FOR ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO HARM THE PACK SO THEY HAVEN'T ATTACKED..' A warrior came through the mindlink to tell me. I think he told Colby too or another warrior did because Colby subtly told Dane and a few others the same thing. When
