Hephaestus I am waiting for Dominick to return to his house. I think I know what is wrong with him, but I need to tell the truth. I know he is weakening, but he refuses to tell the others what is wrong with him. I am positive it started with the soul-binding ritual. I have been waiting for an hour when I hear him turn the handle on the door. He is shocked to see me sitting there in his living room. “I was not expecting anyone,” Dominick says. “I know sorry to surprise you like this,” I tell him. “To what do I owe a visit from the gods?” He asks. “I want to know why you are more or less dying?” I say. I see him let out a sigh, and he sits down across from me. I can see the conflict in his eyes. I know he has been keeping a huge secret since the triplets were born. I have a feeling that it has to do with Kylani. “Where do you want me to start?” He asks. “Start from the beginning,” I tell him. I sit there in silence as he tells me the truth. To say I am shocked w
Lillyana This was not what I was expecting when Hectate contacted me and asked if she could bring a couple of friends down to talk with me. I was speechless when Hephaestus walked in, but then Dominick walked in behind him. Of course, I knew who Dominick and Dimitri were. Not only are they Aphrodite’s original creation, but they are also extremely close with Mykenzie and Kylani. I had half a mind to refuse what they were proposing right away but decided to hear them out. “Let me see if I heard this right. To protect the triplets after they were born you had the fae king and queen performing a soul-binding ritual. Instead of picking some other soul, you decided to offer half of yours not realizing that Kylani was your mate. Now you want me to perform a spell to cover you while you die in a fight that may or may not happen.” I say. “Yes, that seems to sum up the story,” Dominick says. “What in the fuck did you just get me into Hectate?” I ask. “I thought you would be a be
Dimitri I really didn’t know what to say. I knew that members of the Falconi pack had been disappearing for a while now. When Will told us that his daughter had been taken, I was beyond pissed. I could tell he was upset, but at the same time, I would expect him to be more pissed than he was. “You don’t seem overly concerned,” I say. “The truth is that Baylee wasn’t my daughter. My wife had an affair that she thought I didn’t know about. Baylee was the result of that affair.” Will admits. “Damn that must have been painful for you when she cheated,” Poseidon says. “Honestly not really. She was actually my chosen mate and for whatever reason when I marked her it didn’t really take. We stayed together because, well at least I thought we did, loved each other.” He adds. “What exactly are you trying to say?” I asked. “I don’t think she was kidnapped. I think she went out looking to find one of them and willingly went with them.” He comments. He explains that she and he
Imyra “I have no idea how you have put up with those three for so long,” I tell Aphrodite. “It has been a challenge at times.” She sighs. I just shake my head. They had come visiting two days ago, and while I loved seeing them, I knew that they probably had something to do with the prank war that had just ended in our kingdom. I was also positive that my daughter also had a major part in it, but so, far we had found no proof. I thought my son might admit the truth to us since we were refusing to let him dye his hair, but so far, he was not saying a word. I am sure he is more terrified of the girls than he is of his father and me. I guess I can understand this in a way. Aphrodite, Persephone, Athena, Hera, Demeter, and I are sitting out back in my garden having a girl's day. “What were they arguing about this time?” Athena asks. “Honestly I have no idea what started it but I sure as hell put a stop to it quickly,” I explained. “Where was Dimitri?” Aphrodite asked. “H
Zeus I have no idea what the fuck is going on any longer. I lean my head against my chair as Dimitri explains what he has learned about Baylee. I knew she was different from Will. I could feel something stronger in her but could not place it. After Dimitri told us what he found out about her heritage, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe that one of us would have let our guard down enough to be seduced by a dark fae. After what happened with Aphrodite, we had all become much more cautious about the other supernatural creatures and what they were capable of. We didn’t need something like that to happen again. “Honestly I don’t think any of you were seduced. I think she placed a spell on one of you. I am sure she also cast a spell to conceal her true identity as well.” Dimitri explains. “Why?” I asked. “Imyra believes she was hoping that her child or her grandchild would make friends with the triplets. That way there was a link to the gods. Imyra thinks that way if somethin
Mykenzie I am beginning to think that our family thinks that Kylani and I are stupid or something. We know they have been keeping an eye on the Navarro family for a while now. Neither of us has liked that family since the first time we met them. We always got a bad feeling from them. Between the way the father would talk to us and the way his two sons looked at us, they just creeped us out. I am not surprised that they have done what they have. I still can’t believe they wiped out an entire family. “I still can’t believe the Garlindo’s helped them. I never got a creepy feeling from them.” I say. “I never did either. They always seemed like they were neutral if anything.” Kylani states. “I know they are the ones that have been kidnapping members of the Falconi family,” I add. “Of course it’s them. They are assholes and traitors.” Bryn growls out. Donte and her just got back from their honeymoon a week ago. Their wedding was amazing. I know being around two happy c
Chris I knew I had told my sisters that we didn’t need any more animals in the house but when Ian showed me those tiny dragons I couldn’t help it. I knew as soon as I saw the pink one that Alexis would lose her mind. That girl loves all things pink. Uncle Hades hates it but it is what it is. I have to admit I want one. None of them really attracted my attention. I think Rye would take one too if he found one with his favourite colour which is purple. I couldn’t help but smile when Alexis saw the little pink dragon. I hadn’t seen her smile like that since before Haze was taken. “You do realize your sisters will lose their shit if you get a dragon after you told them no more animals,” Rye tells me. “Ask me if I care.” I retort. “He likes to live dangerously,” Brandon adds. The seven of us are at the house waiting for the women to get back. They went to see mom. I could care less if they get mad at me for getting a dragon. Phantom comes running into the room. Fucking h
Dominick Navarro is closing in on the pack and me. A few of my warriors spotted him and his goons about 10 miles to the east. I know Baylee gave him a hint about where the pack was, but I think they are slowly sweeping the area until they find us. I have sent all of the women and children to the new land that Aphrodite has for us. I will join them there if nothing happens. I know that something is going to happen, and I already have the area for the fight to take place if it comes to that. Which I know it will. “Lillyana has put a spell in place for me, you, and her. It is attached to the memory of you splitting your soul, and us concocting this plan. If you die then it will wipe out our memories and Hectate will be the only one to remember any of this.” Hephaestus explains to me. “Good, I really hope not to die but at the same time, I know that it needs to be that way for Kylani’s sake,” I state. “Why did you even split your soul in the first place?” He asks. “Honestly
Chris It’s been a week since the last of the boys turned 24. The guys and I have been racking our brains, trying to figure out a way for us to introduce ourselves to the pack. So far, we have come up with jack-shit. There have been many ideas, but none of them is that great. Donte and Tarlek recently had Dustin approach them about working with their company. Donte thought that might be a way in, but it didn’t work out as we had planned. Tyrell comes walking in with a very sour look on his face. I know that something is seriously wrong. “We need to come up with something fast.” Tyrell states. “Why?” I asked. “I overheard Kylani and Mykenzie talking. While Mykenzie was trying to convince her otherwise, Kylani is positive that Kaleb has given up on her by now, and she doesn’t care if they meet.” Tarlek answers. I hang my head as the others let out both groans and sighs. I knew she had been feeling like this, but I had no idea that it had escalated to this extent. We stil
Poseidon A smile spreads across my face as I watch my girls move into their new apartment. Even though they thought I had died that day in the fire that had taken their mother's life, I had never stopped watching them. Sometimes I would watch them from Olympus, and sometimes I would watch them in person. They never knew I was there since I kept myself hidden, but I was there. I was so proud of Mykayla for graduating at the top of her class and landing this job. Dimitri had kept his word. He and Imyra watched the girls after Nyalia passed away, and I left to ensure they would continue to be safe. I have no idea how he did it, but Dimitri was able to get Mykayla a job in Dustin’s company. I was watching them as they sat at a cafe when someone sat down across from me. “Thank you,” I told Dimitri. “You never have to thank me for taking care of them. I have been present to watch all three of these girls grow up, and I would have done it without you asking. Don’t worry about Ara
Aphrodite Hera, Imyra, Athena, Persephone, and I are watching the party. It has started. The first of the boys is turning 24 today. Within the next three months, they will all have birthdays. I am relieved that this is finally coming to an end. More so that Kylani and Kaleb can finally meet. Today is Ashton’s birthday, and the party is going strong. I smile when I see Dustin look at us. I have never figured out why they are able to see us, but that is irrelevant now. Soon they will be part of our family and get to know all of us. I know we are anxious to see what happens. We all know that there is something special about this pack. We just can't figure out what it is. I know it has more to do with Dominick and Dimitri. Something else has played a major role, but I can't figure out what it is and who it came from. “Thank god, I am not sure if I could keep Kylani from him much longer.” Chris whines. “Well don’t worry honey. Kaleb is the next one to have a birthday so e
Penthesilea Goddammit, I have no idea what we are going to do. Phlegyas and I finally tracked down Tessa to help us after we killed Shade and took all her shit. We knew Tessa could read elvish languages. However, by the time we found her, someone had already fucked with her mind. The poor girl didn’t even know who she was and could barely speak at all. From what we learned from the people taking care of her, she had been found unconscious in her home. There were no visible wounds but whoever had gotten to her did a number on her mind. They wiped it out and left her. She acts at about the same mental capability as a two to three-year-old human child. She didn’t even know she was once a medium-power witch. No one knows who took her powers or memory, but it was obviously someone very powerful. I only know of three people with power like that. “The triplets wouldn’t care that much about a witch like her. I know they knew who she was, but I think they only met her once.” I st
Zeus It has been six months since Nyalia died in the fire. Hell, none of us even knew where she and her human mate were living. I was even more shocked to learn that she and her mate had two daughters. We found out that the oldest had just turned 18 a week ago. I did try and find them, but it was like they had vanished. After the oldest was taken to her grandmother by a family friend, it was like they never existed. I know that Ares tracked down the last known address of the grandmother, but all he found was a dilapidated shack that no human could survive living in. I could not find anything about the girls, like their names or even their birth certificate. Since the house burnt to the ground, any pictures went with it, so we didn’t even have pictures of them. I have a sneaking suspicion that Nyalia's mate wasn't human but maybe one of my brothers. I have no idea why any of them would hide the fact that they found their mate from the rest of us. I know that none of them wou
Kylani I swear if I could kill that asshole, I would. Leah’s dad is such a dick. I understand that he wasn’t the biggest fan of the dwarves, considering there are several thousand years of bad blood between the two races, and I also understand that he didn't want to fight a gigantic dragon. He still could have been a decent person and helped them when that same fucking dragon invaded their kingdom and deep-fried most of their people. Mykenzie and I are still pissed about that, even if it did happen over 500 years ago. I guess he was still pissing people off since we had to spend the last two years helping him and the rest of that realm. I have no idea what the hell has been going on there, but they seriously had a cluster fuck when Mykenzie and I showed up. I hated being away, but it turned out to be a good thing. I kept my mind off the pack and my soul bond. It was getting harder to stay away, and I knew that both Mykenzie and Chris were trying their hardest. The fact that w
Aphrodite I am used to my brothers acting weird, but this has gone on longer than normal. Poseidon was depressed for a few months about six months ago. I am positive that it had everything to do with Nyalia dying in a house fire. Her human mate was also killed in the fire, but the weird thing was that they never found his body. I always had my suspicions about those two but never brought them up. I was hoping that he would eventually tell us that they were together, but that has not happened, and I don’t expect it to now. I smile as I watch Nate blow out the candles on his cake. He turned 22 today. Two more still have birthdays coming up in the near future. I know from here on out, Chris is going to have his hands full, keeping his sisters away. They finally got all the shit cleared up in that other realm. It took them two years to clean up that mess. From what I was told, Chris had to stop his sisters from killing Leah's father. I am not surprised, considering I knew it w
Mykayla I woke up suddenly from that dream I had been having for years. It started out the same. I was at a party with several other kids, a few older than me. The five boys that stood out the most are why I am not sure. After that, most of the dream is a blur except for him and his crystal ice-blue eyes. It always ended with a wall of water topped with white-hot fire. None of it made sense, and I had no idea what to make of it. The boys seemed familiar, and I swear I had seen them before. Not to mention that one of them look a lot like Uncle Dimitri. I knew he wasn’t really my uncle, but he had been around since I was born, so Bree and I called him Uncle Dimitri. Aunt Imyra was also around; we were lucky to have them in our lives. I was aware that they had two kids, a boy named Micah and a girl named Daniylla but we had never met them. Well, as far as our parents knew, we hadn’t met them. Daniylla we had never met, but Micah showed up one day when I had Bree at the park,
Poseidon This is not exactly what I expected to happen. I knew the bears had been watching the pack for the last few years. They were not able to step onto the pack's land, but they were seen around the borders and in town. Nyalia was getting anxious, and we decided to move again. We moved to the other side of the pack, and up until a few weeks ago, everything had grown eerily quiet. Mykayla turned 17 six months ago and was doing well in high school. I have no idea how Dimitri did it, but he found out that the company that Alpha Reece was running offered jobs to newly graduates; the only stipulation was that the new graduate had to work for their company for a year. This worked out well since the high school that she went to offered college-level courses to juniors and seniors. This meant that she would have her associate's degree by the time she graduated. This excited her, and I know she was working hard. I had helped her look up different colleges, and she had settled on o
