The buildings should have been picked clean by now.The locals knew better than to go anywhere near the old mining town or the mines. It made a perfect place to whole up for a while. He could continue his work deep in the old mines. Much would be hidden down there from the sight of strangers within the tunnels of the mines.
Hannibal was proud of the fact that he had found this place so close to the mines. It was comfortably fu

His Brother's Mate Transformations and Final Plans
There was a small group of people trickling into the packhouse. All were there for the meeting that would soon take place. People were preparing for the conference, while others circulated among each other. They talked about various things, including what had happened the night before. A general hum of conversation about who made it and who didn’t. Who was injured and who was being sent home. There was no talk of any factions pulling out and leaving. Nor did anyone talk of giving up.
His Brother's Mate The Final Battle
It didn’t take long this time to organize equipment and personnel. Gregory again found himself dressed in his battle gear and waiting on the okay to pass through the portals. He felt like he was travelling through a mysterious rabbit hole. Gregory was itching to get this done. He was not stopping until they were successful in destroying the Lich and what existed of his brother.&n

Gregory awoke from sleeping and reached for Aricka. He then realized he was now comfortable and expecting her there beside him. He felt a longing in his heart for Aricka as he lay there, staring at the ceiling of his bedroom. One more interrogation, and then this would all be over—a highly personal questioning. Gregory wanted answers as to why Richard had done all this. He triedto take Everything from Gregory and never looking for his own place in the world. The Pack and their family would have supported anything he wished to have done. H
His Brother's Mate Brother Dearest
Gregory couldn’t bear to be in the room with Richard. It hurt too much to know that there was no way for them to give him a second chance. This time it was far worse than banishing him and giving him a chance to find a new path. He could never understand Richard’s choice entirely that was clear to him.He decided that he would get Evan and take him to see his Mother.He would be safe with Gregory beside him.Gregory had received reports about Evan since living with his friend Michael’s family.This way, there were fewer ch
His Brother's Mate Second Chance?
Gregory returned Evan to Michael’s house with a Hell Hound in tow. Gregory explained what was happening and that he would be back in a few hours. He felt terrible about this, but he would not scar Evan with watching his father die before him. With that done, he stopped long enough to look through his email on his cellphone and send out some replies. He cursed a few times because of the time-sensitivity of some of it. Gregory called Rolo and found out that they had not started the destruction of the phylactery yet, so he made it clear he would be there for the proceedings.Then he returned to the site of the cells and entered the interrogations room. That was where the mages had set up for the ritual. As far as Gregory c
His Brother's Mate Jeff's Back
It had been hours since the Lich had been ripped to pieces by the magic of the Mages. It was gone for good, cursing a blue streak which the Druids proceeded to ensure didn’t lead to any lasting curses or restless spirits. At least in North America, the Supernatural World was at peace for the first time in known history. That history went back far beyond the average person’s belief, and for that reason, it was an end of an age and the beginning of the next. Richard had been in surgery for hours now, and all they knew was that at the time. He lived, but there was a lot more damage than the autopsy had registered.
His Brother's Mate Dealing with the Fallout and Paws for You
Gregory was glad when he got his growling mate back to her bed. He could tell that she was showing the signs of shifting soon. These were times when he wished that shifters naturally shifted with the full moon at least the first time. That way, they would have a heads up. But no such luck. It was just like labour and delivery crossed with a moody teenager. No one knew how long labour would take, then when the delivery would happen, and they were never prepared for it. That’s when he realized that he’d have to help her through that too soon enough. It was the same here. Aricka had gone through joint pain and a fever already. Now she was on to being cross and growling.Doctor Graves had ushere

Gregory got a text message from his Father while Aricka was getting the all clear that she could return home. The Borden’s were inquiring where Aricka was and had been for almost a day. His Mother was keeping them in check and had explained the reason Aricka had gone missing. His Father assured Gregory that his Mother had apologized for not mentioning it to them. Using the excuse that with all the things going on in the last few days, the fact that Aricka was safe and in a doctor’s care had gotten lost somewhere. Gregory could only groan and then respond with that everything was okay and they would be back at the packhouse withi

His Brother's Mate The Way Home
The morning started early, with grey skies and a hell of a lot of noise. Last-minute boxes of food and supplies were being transferred to trucks to compensate for the sudden doubling of Max’s pack size. His mother had stopped him and informed him she had taken the young pups’ names. In the New Year, she would add them to the NARC registry of his pack. So it was official. He had a pack, and it was happening at least on paper. A quick text message to Jenna, and he was rounding up every damn person coming with him. They weren’t all outside after breakfast because one of the younger ones was hiding somewhere and it was like an Easter Egg hunt for her. If he thought life would
His Brother's Mate Poems for the Time
When Max finally got back to the major crowd, and that’s what it had become as curious pack members came in to offer their help. While getting the scoop on what happened at the front gate.He was no longer used to this many people, and it was wearing on him, with the pain dull throbbing in time to his slowly fraying nerves.Max couldn’t leave these pups, but he was also itching to speak to each one of them. Just so, he knew how to integrate them into his pack. He’d have to do that when he got home from here and then keep a very close eye on everyone.What he found was a memory of the past ringing with a lilting voice of his mother as she read a new poem, she had found but fit so well into their lives. It was as if they had made it for this moment.Max had missed most of the opening refrains of the poem. But it was as if it spoke to him, and his mother claimed the ti
His Brother's Mate Pups for a Bachelor
Aricka had received several texts from Allan and Jeff. The rogues were actually young adults lost in the war’s chaos. There were two injured and nearly thirty of them. The pups, as Edith firmly insisted on calling them, needed space to get clean. They were hungry and came with the clothes on their backs. Many were female, and they didn’t have any form of real leadership. They were there looking for guidance and a chance at survival without going rogue. Even their Druid family members chipped in to help. The sadness was physical when their story’s relayed to all. It was a physical example that hit the council members present in the face. This minor war had lasting effects throughout the Supernatural World. Others were not in the war but were suffering the lasting effects of loss because of the Lich’s victims’ deaths and those who had died in battle.&
His Brother's Mate Rescue and Shelter
It’s Yuletide, and they strictly enforced the rule of hospitality during this season. In Northern Ontario, it’s the only humane thing to do. It’s not truly the rule of law. But a moral tradition. They will give anyone who comes to your door space to sleep and a meal for the night. Until it’s safe for them to travel on. It doesn’t have to be fancy or even a bed: just a warm, dry place and simple food to eat. In a land where one could freeze to death within fifteen minutes of going outside, it’s needed even if they’re dressed for the season. It was a tradition from the old country. Now Gregory had to find this car off in a ditch and then deal with twenty-five to thirty more people to house and feed. Richard/Max… He had to get his name straight in his head before talking to these people.
His Brother's Mate In-Laws or Out-Laws
Gregory had to divide and conquer. The pups and such needed people looking out for them, with everyone doing different things. So he sent some volunteers to look over them. His brother was one of those volunteers. He had to get more wood and things for the decorations to be freshened up with. The ladies inside would handle that, and he would leave his mate with the work inside of entertaining and guiding those efforts. Let Allan take the lead on the first shift of snow clearing, and when he and his crew came in, all snowy dragging equally snowy pups in. Gregory knew precisely what happened. The pups appeared bored, and they had started a snowball fight with the adults.Frederick looked like he’d fallen or tossed in the snow and thoroughly co
His Brother's Mate Getting to Know You
As he thought of his pup grouping, Evan and the pack were having fun running through the wooded area and playing in the snow. It was great being able to get outside and just have fun. He found it thrilling, and he’d thought it might be his wolf side affecting his actions. But it wasn’t like it talked to him. It was just part of him. Like someone was Italian or Japanese. He didn’t care. He was in a happy place now. The adults were bickering until the snow stopped falling, and a lot of them got busy clearing the roadway. It had taken longer than expected when the younger people had decided that they were going to ambush them with snowballs. One of his druid cousins had made the trees shiver and drop their snow on his Great-Grandfather, who’s not impressed and sent a few snowballs flying of his own in retaliation.&nb
His Brother's Mate Learning the Meaning of Family Tradition
Once, people surfaced for a late breakfast. They sent the pups and other juveniles out to play in the snow with a few adults watching them. Even Richard took a turn watching them from the back porch. Just so that someone with fully working limbs could haul snow from the garage down to the entrance gates. This was no small feat without a snowplough of some sort. Someone had at least been smart enough to park the visitor’s vehicles inside the garage to avoid the need to remove ice and snow from them. But with over five hundred metres of the driveway from the garage down to the main entrance, it would be a long time until it fully cleared, and they could sand it. Because of wolves running about, sand was a far safer product for their paws. Salt would burn the plants and leave burns on paws. Also, salt often made things worse in t
His Brother's Mate Digging Out
Aricka woke up on the third day of the season, and all she could think about was that there were only ten days left. If she thought it was slow going, going to war. It was a whole new form of torture when there were clashing personalities.Edith and Moreen got along like a house on fire. Both sat and talked about whatever came to mind. There didn’t seem to be a topic that was off the table for them.Frederick and Allan, however, had started out the first night or so, not getting along well. Until they found out what happens when mulled, they added in spiced cider, and the two were off to the races on who come object more often than the other about anything and everything. Who knew that two older gentlemen could brawl like boys in their twenties? They’d lost two lamps and a chair in that incident.Then Allan hid in his apartment with Edith. Aricka was sure that Edith was there to
His Brother's Mate Still The Snow Falls
After two great days of snow and fun, Evan jumped from his bed to be greeted by more snow coming down. There was so much he couldn’t see the trees that were not so far from his window. With a sigh, he figured everyone stuck inside would soon enough to turn on each other.Video games, music, and lots of food. What more could anyone ask for? There’d be presents again too. Everyone got one present every day for a whole twelve days. It was so much fun to see everyone’s faces when they opened their gifts. No one knew who had actually bought any of the gifts. Some adults even played a guessing game about who bought various gifts. It was kind of funny to watch.Running down the stairs, he realized some of the other kids were up, and they all gathered in the Entertainment Room. It had quickly become their unofficial hang out. The adults figured they were safe there, and Aria had been cool about what games they could play too. Some snacks were still out, and E
