What deal will Brynn have to accept? I love reading about your thoughts. Comment and Vote to let me know.
BRYNN Dahlia had set up a fake bank account that had access to a billion dollars for tonight. We had no idea what we would encounter but wanted to ensure that we had every opportunity to excel at our mission. The bidding for the girl went back and forth multiple times. It was causing Alpha Timothy’s greed to continue skyrocketing. “100,000.” Theo raised his paddle. “Everyone is awfully eager for this little treasure. Perhaps focusing on the monetary value of her says too little about what she’s truly worth,” Alpha Timothy mused. You could damn near see everyone frothing at the mouth over her. It was positively disgusting, and I wanted nothing more than to destroy each and every predator in here because that was exactly what they were. They were definitely the type of people that held no moral boundaries. People like this deserved to be eliminated, but we sadly had other objectives tonight. The little girl held her head up like a little warrior. That right there was true strength,
BRYNN The last thing that I remembered was the excruciating pain of electricity being forced into every crevice of my body before I fell face-first onto the marble floor, plunging into darkness. Awareness slowly crept back in, or it came all at once. There was no telling which one it was. The first thing that I noticed was how my entire body felt like I got run over by a semitruck or trampled underneath a Jumanji-like stampede. It was not a pleasant feeling at all. The second thing that I noticed was my mate’s scent that surrounded me, coaxing me out of the darkness. I would never tire of that scent because it was so purely Theo. The third and last thing that I noticed were sparks on my shoulder and along my waist. I attempted to open my eyes, but it took a few tries before I had any success. Thankfully, the light in the room had been turned off because my eyes were extra sensitive and face fucking hurt like hell. There was no surprise that we were in the hospital. I could only
BRYNN I clutched the angel teddy in my arms as we walked to where the pup was. I did not know what her name was, but we would figure it out one way or another. It made me happy that Theo and I were on the same page about helping her. Our hearts similarly broke knowing that she potentially suffered from abuse. It was not as uncommon as one might think regarding those who were differently abled no matter the species. The reality was depressing, which was why I had taken it upon myself to work hard on cases like hers. The pup was surrounded by toys, but she stared absently at the wall as if playing with the toys was forbidden. My heart clenched at the sight. Theo stood at the doorway while I approached her. She looked at me when I sat down beside her. Goddess, she was a beautiful pup. Wavy brown hair, tanned skin, and hazel eyes. “Hey there, little one. I’m Brynn. Is it okay if I sit with you for a while?” I asked her with a soft smile. She stared at me without blinking for a few mo
THEO Brynn was still sleeping, but I could not get the thought out of my head about our future pup. Alpha Kalen. Our little girl was going shake things up just like her mother loved to do, and I would stand behind her, applauding her achievements. Knowing that Mira was going to consider us her parents filled me up with joy. That girl had been through so fucking much that it was not fair at all. Not one fucking bit. Brynn and I vowed that we would give her a great life, one where she could choose her own path, and we would give her the support and love that should have been there from birth. I looked at my mate’s sleeping face and remembered how I had almost lost everything when I rejected her. It still amazes me that she was able to forgive me and place her trust and love in me. It was an honor that I would never forget or betray. I already knew what it was like to lose everything, so I would never make that mistake again. Her mother had told her before that it might take time for
FBRYNN My fists collided against the punching bag for the umpteenth time today. Bruised and bloodied knuckles did nothing to break me out of emotions and thoughts. One might think that three hours in the gym would make me feel better, but that was a crock of fucking shit. It was a good fucking thing that my father reinforced this training area with the heaviest duty equipment that could be found or else it would have been destroyed by now. Why was I so upset? I had a vision this morning that gave me quite a bit of information. Mira was the daughter of a sadistic fucking Alpha by the name of Alpha Palmer of the Crimson Peak pack. Alpha Palmer, according to the Council, was known for buying and selling slaves, being a participant in the drug trade, and a whole laundry list of other shit. The problem was that they were never able to get concrete proof to justify their interference. The Council had significant resources at their disposal, but their interference with packs required cer
THEO Jackson and I sat side by side as we watched as Brynn and Mira worked on sparring. It had become part of their daily routine for the past few weeks. Mira started out with barely any stamina or strength, but she worked her ass off and had made great progress thus far. Integrating her into our little family was not difficult at all. The transition was smooth as if it was always meant to be this way. Every time she called me Papa made my heart feel full. I had never really thought about when I would become a father, but I knew that I would one day, either biologically or through adoption. Mira was our miracle that came when we least expected but wholeheartedly accepted. “I think that Mira’s going to be able to kick your ass sooner or later,” Jackson said, smirking at me. I chuckled and nodded. It was a fact that I loved because it meant that she would be able to protect herself. It made me proud. “You’re absolutely fucking right about that. Look at who’s training her. Brynn’s a
THEO This would either be a flawless mission or a fuckshow waiting to happen. There was so much riding on today’s meeting. The Council was extremely impressed that my girl was able to secure the meeting. Those involved were Brynn, me, Jackson, and Diego would be our limo driver. There were specialized cameras and mics that were undetectable by tech scanners. They were the Council’s designs. I had one on the first button of my dress shirt. Brynn had one in the necklace they loaned her. Tris was not entirely excited about this mission because she was unable to accompany her daughter, but she swore that she would watch over Mira for us. We would be home before bedtime if all went well, but we had to be prepared for anything. “You two look like a million bucks,” Diego said as he appraised our suits. I was wearing a tailored black suit with pure gold cufflinks. The gray tie had a diamond encrusted V on it to symbolize the Veritas pack. Brynn looked like a fucking siren in her sleevel
BRYNN It was a great thing that we were dealing with idiots. They always made our work easier, so we definitely were not complaining. We were told to follow the red Porsche, so that was what we were doing. She was leading us right into the heart of their pack. “I believe it’s a safe assumption that it went well?” Diego asked, humor evident in his voice. “Oh, it went really fucking well. Make sure you watch the recap of it later on. These two make this shit look like a walk in the park,” Jackson stated proudly. Humans had many rules that had to be followed for undercover work. The Council’s rules worked like this: we could not hand over a loaded gun and tell that person to shoot someone or else they would die. However, what Theo and I did earlier was fine. We enticed them and incentivized their involvement. The bitch had every right to say no, but she did not. Therefore, she opened the doorway for us. Likewise, she invited us into the pack. It was recorded, so they would have no ro
Hello, lovelies! I just wanted to let you know that “Design of Fate” is officially up on the app, so I hope you will check it out. Jackson is always strong pillar of support when others need it, without question, and without fail. That is why he was chosen for this particular journey with his mate. They will both have difficult obstacles to overcome in order to find their peace and happiness. True to form, the Goddess has connected people together in a significant way. Tune into the new book to see how the design of fate plays out. I sincerely appreciate all of your support and encouragement throughout these books. I love hearing your feedback, theories, and thoughts. – Shana Allen
SNEAK PEEK – “DESIGN OF FATE” - JACKSON Imeela. The name sounded like a prayer. Imeela was my mate that I met two days ago when she was being attacked by a group of vampires. She had held her own very well until it was not. Brynn had got me out of bed for a road trip but would not tell me where we were going. Luckily, she had the forethought to bring warriors with us. Goddess, she fought them like a lethal warrior. Not only was she deadly, but she was fucking gorgeous too. Brynn worked her charm and convinced her to come back here. She was given the choice to either use the extra bedroom in my suite or a guest room. Thankfully, she chose my suite. Well, our suite. However, she was extremely reserved, but I could not blame her. It was easy to see that her life had not been easy. That hurt Zeus and me to think about. She had woken up screaming from a nightmare this morning, and now she had been pacing in her room for the past hour. I had no idea what she was going through, but tha
BRYNN “Have you guys decided on his name yet?” I asked, looking at the beautiful cherub in his arms. Beautiful blue eyes, peachy skin, a head of hair that matched his mother’s color, and the most adorable button nose. He was so perfect. “Matteo Ray,” he said, smiling at his firstborn. “Ray after his godmother just with a y instead of an e,” he said, winking at me. Tears stung my eyes, but I desperately tried to keep them there because it would ruin my view of the little guy. It had meant everything to me when they asked me and Theo to be godparents to their son. To share the same middle name as him meant just as much to me. I took Kalen from her father and got her situated. Goddess, she was two now, and each day was a new adventure. Everyone, us included, had been very surprised with how calm she generally was. There were times when that calm wore off, but that was a rarity in comparison. It seemed that the Goddess’ blessing was quite literal with blessing her with both strength a
THEO Remember that flash drive the doctor mentioned? Yeah, it had quite a bit of fucking shit on it. The contents definitely gave the Council everything that they needed to intervene. Trust me when I said that they definitely decided to intervene in a creative way once the bastard was apprehended. Would you care to take a guess what they decided? Mhm. Exactly! They called my mate in. So, we headed back over to Coverstone with a viewing party, consisting of all the leadership. Dahlia was thrilled to be brought in officially as Gamma Female. She was a multi-threat personality, so we would see how this played out. Brynn decided that we would be playing a new game. She still had not explained to any of us what it would entail other than to imagine Twister meets carnival games. That explanation really set me ablaze with need. I needed to witness this game and needed to see what damage it would cause. From what we understood, it would be the dipshit CEO, the doctor, and the P.A. all in
BRYNN Today would be interesting to say the least. We had a few things to accomplish, so we began our day early. Mira wanted to come along, and she accomplished it with those damn wolfy pup eyes that she perfected. That was her terminology, and I would never be able to think or say puppy dog eyes ever again. Our first stop would be to Coverstone so that I could question the doctor and P.A. myself. Trust me that was not why she wanted to tag along. Nope. It was because of our second stop. Theo, Mira, and I would be visiting the site where the study was being conducted. As such, we needed to look the part. That was why I donned a midnight blue pencil skirt and matching blazer with a white blouse underneath it. My hair was pulled back into a twisted bun. Only minimal makeup was on my face because I had always preferred to have a fresh look. Then I put on low heels because I did not want to kill my feet too much today. Mira looked so adorable in her little business outfit. She had insi
THEO We had left Scarsdale in promising hands. Alpha Scott, even though he insisted on us still calling him Scott, had many great plans to strengthen the pack and cleansing it of his father’s touch. We made sure that he understood that we were only a call or text away. Caleb and Thalia were growing closer and developing a sibling bond. She felt overwhelmed at times, but my mate was definitely helping her to find her place in the pack. Thalia had a rough life thus far, so we wanted her to feel free and happy. Brynn had taken it upon herself to work with her each day as she taught her self-defense. Thalia was a hard worker and eager to learn everything that she could. I watched as Brynn walked hand in hand with Mira from the swing set. These two females were everything to me. Although, I should add in the third one that I had yet to meet. Some of the guys had joked that I must be hoping for a little boy to help counterbalance the estrogen in the house. It would not bother me if all o
THEO Scott was left with the Council and their warriors to get things situated. Luna Charlotte and Richard offered to help Scott, but he just asked her to rest. Robert offered to take her to lay down somewhere, but she did not want to go back to the Alpha floor. He understood that and offered to take her to his home. They both looked happy with the truth of their mate-bond. They would have their own trials to overcome, but I believed that they could be happy together. We went with Caleb to see Thalia. He was extremely nervous, knowing that this was his sister. He also felt guilty because he had left, and even if he did not know that she was his sister, the truth remained the same. He escaped and found a good life for himself, but she was left here within the clutches of a lunatic Alpha. Hopefully he would one day see it was not a burden that he should carry. The past needed to be left in the past so that the future could be embraced. Caleb stood in front of the door that Scott had
BRYNN While the bastard Alpha was apprehended, we would need to deal with the remaining pack. An Alpha set the standard for a pack. This Alpha was a fucking bastard who did extremely despicable things, so it was safe to say that there would be more in this pack who shared the same ideals. First, we needed to speak with Scott. The safest option was for her to mindlink him, getting him up here. I helped her rinse off the powder first so that it was possible. Surprisingly, I was able to keep my anger reigned in when I took stock of even more injuries. Luna Charlotte was extremely embarrassed that someone else was seeing the state that she was in even if that embarrassment was misplaced because there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It did not take a rocket scientist to pinpoint what caused her to feel that way. “I want you to look into my eyes so that you know I’m speaking the truth with these words.” I paused until her eyes met mine. “What he did to you is unforgivable and shows
THEO As much as I did not want my mate to be on this mission, I did see how much her presence had already helped. From being able to pull on the shadows for our cover to doing what she did with the chick in the kitchen. Brynn and Moira had both been training hard with Tris and Paise to master her Vessel abilities. They still had not been able to identify them all since there were hundreds of possible abilities that previous Vessels had of their own. Not everyone had the same abilities. Thus, it was a long process of figuring out which ones they were able to utilize. ‘Our mates are powerful and sexy,’ Zen commented. ‘Not to mention that they both are really adventurous.’ He snickered as he remembered the last time that Moira surprised him by calling him out to her trail and attacked him. Okay, attack was definitely a loose term. You could not attack the eager and very willing. Her howls of pleasure were loud enough to catch the attention of a couple of patrol wolves. When they came
