Charlotte giggled, “I’ll be back shortly.” Charlotte left the room closing the door behind her. Mitzie focused her attention on the giant set. “This can’t be harder than talking to Alexa or the voice activation in our house. Television power on.” Mitzie stared at the black LED screen that stared back at her. “Television on,” she said a little more forcefully. She groaned as she glared at the screen that covered just a small portion of the wall, but was proving to be more difficult than she cared to deal with. “Television command, power on,” Mitzie commanded in a raised voice to make sure the TV caught her words. “Television powering on,” came the reply. “Finally. Nice. And it talks back,” Mitzie observed. “What would you like to do?” the television asked once the screen was on displaying a general menu. “Television command, surf channels.” “Television surfing channels. There are eight hundred and fifty-nine channels available. Would you like to refine your search?” Mtizie w
“What is it, Darius?” Mitzie anxiously swiveled her body around to place her feet on the ground. She instinctively reached for her stomach, but then realized that it would be flat. “All galactic communications to and from Earth have been interfered with,” he said pacing the room with his head down and his hands clasped behind him. “What do you mean? I don’t understand?” She raised her eyebrows and scooted to the edge of the couch. “I could feel auntie Etheria attempting to communicate with you and me, however,” He stopped and turned to look his mother in the eyes, “everything was coming through as garble. You know, like someone trying to speak through a tunnel with three fans between them.” “Well, we know that Claris did a spell to block the communications when Japheth was coming, and maybe Emma just hasn’t had a chance to remove that blockade yet.” “No, mum, this is different. Claris’ spell was broken the moment G-Ma Sheloah put the anticom cap on her head. On a witch, that cap a
Howdy, my faithfuls! I wanted to take this time to apologize to you all for the delay in chapter updates...AGAIN. My editor is working on getting this taken care of as quickly as possible. You all have been super awesome with your patience while we get this resolved. Please delete this book and readd it to your library for the updates to take effect. I want to make sure each of you is where you should be in the chapters, as there are some spoilers lurking for the sequel! I'm excited for that book! As always, thank you for your support and your gems! :)
“Princess!” Charlotte screamed as she entered the entertainment room and saw Mitzie laying on the floor. She rushed to her side and carefully lifted her head as she put her ear to Mitzie’s nose to check for breathing. “Princess! Princess! Help, somebody, help!” she yelled, glad she’d left the door open as she screamed towards it while she rushed to where Mitzie lay unresponsive on the floor. “Alpha, the princess.. I mean, Mitzie… she’s passed out!” she mind linked Nolan and the rest of his leaders who had just heard the words from Claris about expecting a family reunion and for Alford to check on his wife. “Shit!” Nolan turned to look at the others. “I just got a message from Charlotte that Mitzie s unconscious,” he advised them ushering them towards the cell’s exit. Claris cackled behind them. “And so it begins. Soon you’ll understand why I said you’re outnumbered.” “We’re not done with you, witch,” Nolan admonished her furrowing his brows in anger. He glanced back at her quickl
“Mrs. Kingsley answered the phone and said that Emma’s not in the main house nor in her quarters,” Sheloah notified the group. “That must mean she knows what’s happening and is trying to figure out like we are,” Alford said standing. “Any idea where she’d go looking for the answer? I mean, if none of you are able to get communications out or in…” Nolan began asking. “Seems like the communications block is being done from somewhere in the Milky Way. Knowing what I know of Emma, she’s probably gone somewhere to conjure a spell to pinpoint where it’s coming from.” Zara, Stanley, Sheloah, and Maria nodded in agreement. “So, you say that Mitzie’s sister, Princess Etheria, has been kidnapped by that asswipe and being held in his galaxy?” Grey asked moving to sit on the edge of his chair. Alford let out a small chuckle that all three of the pack leaders had some sort of derogatory name for Japheth. He couldn’t dispute any truth in those names, though. “Yes, a couple of earth weeks ago
Mitzie couldn’t help the unease she felt as they made their way to the prison in which the Solaris warriors and Claris were being held. She covered her nose as they walked down the dark, dingy corridor to where Claris was. The putrid smell of blood and death hung in the air, but she seemed to be the only one sensitive to the vibrant odors. She would chalk it up to either pregnancy, or the fact that she was not used to being around the stench of death. She was firmly gripping onto Alford’s arm with her free hand, and slightly leaning into him. “Are you alright, my love?” he whispered turning his head to her. “Yeah, just… this smell, it’s making me rather nauseous,” she replied moving her hand from in front of her mouth so he could hear her, but still keeping her nose covered. “If it gets too bad, I’ll take you back out, okay?” he kissed the top of her head. He unwrapped her hand from around his arm and placed his arm around her shoulder giving her the ability to lean into him furthe
“My love, let’s go,” Alford took a step closer to Mitzie and placed a hand on the small of her back. Mitzie turned as if to leave, but then turned back around to face Claris again. “I hope what I’ve said to you will sink in through that cap. You can save yourself if you do,” she softly said to Claris while rubbing her stomach. Claris looked back up at Mitzie with an unreadable expression on her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it and put her head back down. Mitzie waited for a moment to see if Claris would change her mind and say something, but after a few moments of silence, Alford gently nudged Mitzie to leave. She sighed and walked ahead of him as they went back up the stairs leading them out. Once they were outside with the others, Mitzie stopped walking and turned to face Alford. “Until we find Emma, I’m not giving up on Claris talking,” she said laying her head on Alford’s chest. He sighed and kissed the top of her head. “We’ll find out one way or an
“Mom?” Mitzie balanced the cell phone between her shoulder and her ear as she used a spoon to scoop some ice cream and the chocolate cake that she was finally able to get her hands on into her mouth. It was every bit as good as she had expected. She licked some of the chocolate-brandy sauce off of the corner of her mouth. “No, Angel, this is dad. Are you all alright?” She could hear the concern in her father’s voice, and she felt bad that she had brought that reaction out of him so many times in her life. They were yet staying at Mitzie’s house for the time being as Emma had cast a protection spell around it, therefore making it the safest place for them. Even though they knew Japheth had left earth, they were still being cautious of any outliers, and with this new threat, it made even more sense. “We’re fine, daddy. Have you all heard from Emma yet?” “No, we haven’t. Your mother has left a note on Emma’s bedroom mirror and at all main house entry doors for her to call you as soo
Hello, my faithfuls! Ok, I know you all are probably thinking that I've abandoned the book. I have not. Some issues with my chapters had to be fixed, and you all will need to delete the book out of your library and reload it for the changes to take effect. If you're this far in the book, you'll begin at chapter 35 (you're able to refresh your read in chapter 34), and proceed from there. Sorry about the mixup and the time you all had to be away from Mitzie and Alford...they missed you all, too! ;) As always, thank you for reading, and the gems are much appreciated!

Hello, my faithful readers! I find myself apologizing again for the delay in chapter updates, however, this time it's due to an error in chapters posting. My editor is working as quickly as possible to get the issue rectified so that I can begin updating again. The wait will be worth it....and the sequel is alreay being written. Wanna guess who it's about? I'll give you a hint: some new characters and some old characters will be involved and play a major role. I'm excited for their adventure to roll out ;-) Thank you for keeping up with Mitzie & Alford/Orthos' adventure!
