Gabe POV.Thank the Goddess that Fenrir came. It’s time to put on the brakes of this crazy train with Gaia. I understand her concerns, heck, even I’m having concerns, but reinforced steel, nets, and duct tape are extremely concerning.Thank the Goddess for Calista. We all watch as Fenrir approaches Gaia and you can feel the emotion coming from her. She is worried and angry. Worried that our pups will cause destruction and angry because Calista brought her father here. It doesn’t matter all that matters is that Fenrir can talk some sense into her and fast.“This is not going to go down well.” I say to my mates through the link, leaving Gaia out of it as she looks like she is ready to attack her father.“No shit, sherlock! Fen can walk away, but we have to live with her.” Leo replies and we slowly back away.“Don’t you move! We are buying all the stuff that is in those carts.” She tells us and we stop and basically glare at her. No, this needs to stop. She needs reassurance. Sure, the s
Gaia POV.It has been a few days since dad intervened in the hardware store and I am glad he did. Yes, I was acting like a crazy bitch and I let it take over, but he helped me rein it in. Even though my mates tried too, nothing speaks bat shit crazy until your dad has to get involved.Today, however, my parents and sister are coming for a visit, so as dad said, they can get to me quicker if I ever needed them. I know they all want to be close, especially when it’s their first biological grandpups and niece and nephew.Rosa is excited to see them again and I know it has been hard on her the past few weeks to go from living in an orphanage, to then having a complete family, to moving and losing her daddy’s then to have them back again and now my parent’s and sister.However, when I’ve asked her if she is ok, she smiles and the oracle speaks, telling me it is part of the grand plan. Whatever she means. I have also been trying to find out as much about the oracles as I can, but informatio
Calista POV.This is on us. What happened to Britany is on us. She has had to be kept sedated because Nicholas is fucking everything. If he carries on, it will kill Britany, and then there will be no stopping Gaia from tearing him apart.Xena has used her magic to lessen the effect of the mate bond to give Britany a chance to heal, but the damage has already been done.“Any news yet?” I ask Leo, who shakes his head when Gaia waddles into the room with more snacks. She has been stress eating, and it has been a week since her parents dropped that bomb on us.“If he isn’t in rogue territory, then that means he is in human territory.” She sits down with her tube of pringles and munches them as she thinks of the places her brother would go.“Calista, could you pass me my laptop and phone, please?” She says with a mouthful and I shake my head as I head towards the office. I can’t get the images out of my head of Britany. He isn’t just using betrayal, he is also hurting himself, which leaves
Gaia POV.“Something is off with him, Gaia, this isn’t Nic.” Kodiak speaks in my head and I couldn’t agree more with her. Upon closer inspection, I realised something. There is a lingering shimmer on him and I can’t sense his wolf! Nic, what have you done?“Where is the woman that was in here with him?” I asked my mates through the link. I need to find her. Something is seriously off.“She is wrapped in a sheet held against the wall by Julia.” I smirk as I turn and head towards the door and see Julia pressing the woman into the wall, her forearm held against the back of the woman’s neck. Good.“Tell me, brother, where is your wolf?” I turn and look at him when he looks at me in confusion. I take a step closer to him and try to connect to him, but nothing.“He doesn’t want to speak to a whore like you,” my father growls at him and I watch Nic whimper. At least he knows not to mess with dad, but it’s not dad he should be worried about.“Well, that’s a lie now, isn’t it? When did he leav
Gaia POV.“Bellious, how long has it been since you have seen her?” I ask as I look at the building in front of me. I hate this place more than I hate the creatures inside of it.“It’s been a while. I can imagine her temper hasn’t improved since the last time I saw her.” I raise an amused eyebrow at the demon, who is looking rather fidgety right now, especially when he is moments away from facing his beloved Inca.“Well, this will be fun then, won’t it? Come on, the quicker we can get this mess sorted out, the quicker you can leave and so can I,” I say as I walk forward and open the door.The smell of pheromones in the air is intoxicating. The sheer pink and purple curtains leave nothing to the imagination. Naked women dancing seductively in front of men of all species as they work their magic on them.Women walking holding hands with men as they lead them to private rooms. Moans and grunts of men and women as they engage in the act of sex. This is a pleasure house. A brothel, but the
Gaia POV.“All the workers have to sign their clients in and out. Plus, they have to disclose any and all outside locations they have met with their client.” I nod in acknowledgment. At least she did something right.“Show me.” I signal for Bellious to let her up as he walks with her to the desk in front of her laptop.“This started a month ago. Well, that is what I’m guessing. So I’m assuming he would have come here personally before he allowed them into the packhouse. In fact, you have CCTV, right?” I ask, looking at her and she nods her head.“Good, I know what this bitch looks like, so I want the footage from this morning. Narrow it down from 8AM until 2PM this afternoon.” I say as she pulls up her system and types in the time frame and the entry and exit logs.We watch multiple screens when I point my finger, and Inca stops the footage.“That’s her. Who was she meeting? I highly doubt he would have used his real name, but the location will be Envy.” I tell her and she searching f
Calista POV.We are all sitting in the living room of the pack house in The Dark Moon Pack. Nic has been sedated and is locked up, and so is the bitch. They are in opposite cells. She has been bound and can’t use her magic to escape. Julia is down there with them both. Keeping a close eye on them.“How long do you think Gaia will be?” Jake asks as he paces the room, his fingers pinching his chin as he is deep in thought with his arms crossed. Everyone is on tender hooks waiting for news from her, but nothing.“She will be here when she gets back. I don’t know how long it will take. Gaia will no doubt be threatening Inca with the agreement they made years ago. If Gaia has found anything, she will no doubt deal with it then and there. Plus, she has a demon with her. Bellious is no joke.” I tell them and Fen chuckles as we all look at him.“Bellious is Inca’s beloved. Mate. He will not hurt her, but he is the best hunter in the underworld.” I nod at his words because I know it’s true Bel
Jake POV.It has been four days since Kodiak went to sleep and she is still in wolf form. For the life of us, we couldn’t move her, so we left her in the living room of the pack house. Xena came a few hours after she fell asleep and told us what happened.Xena had been working her magic literally to rid Gaia of the bad magic, as Rosa called it from her. So far, all attempts have failed. The only comfort is that the pups are ok, but Kyron has refused to leave her side. He told us he will return to Nic only when his sister has woken up and she was back to normal. The question remains: how long will that take?Speaking of Nic, we paid him a visit and told him what had happened, and he was deeply remorseful. Xena explained that Nic was under the influence of not only a blood oath but dark magic by the witch called Carla. Who Kyron killed.Nic said he didn’t know what was happening, and he was being called to the whorehouse by a voice. Carla has put a spell on him on the battlefield and so
