We walked outside the pack house and took an immediate turn for the woods. I sensed the angst in all the warriors walking behind us and it sent chills up my spine. I didn't like them on edge and neither did Aura. It unsettled us that so many trained warriors were this riled up. Tate walked beside me, his hand wafting just next to mine. I closed the distance between our hands and gave his a gentle squeeze. He squeezed back and out of the corner of my eye, I saw him glance at me before looking straight ahead once more.
Together we led Layton and Allen's warriors to a small hut in the middle of the towering trees that made up the forest. I've never been to the dungeons before. I never thought about them, but then again there wasn't much for me to think about around here other than my handsome mate and my inexplicable anger issues I'd inherited.
"Alright," Tate spoke up, "Alpha Layton, Allen— you, myself, and Channing will go ahead. If you don't mind, I'd like your men t
Emiko POV: *FLASHBACK* Weddings. Every man, women, girl, and boy dreamed about having the perfect wedding. As you grow older your wedding plans change, just like mine did. Mine went straight to the Underworld with what my mate did. I walked down the aisle, prepared to say my vows that I had written just for John. I stared at him as he lifted my veil over my head and gave me his signature smile. Even though I was human and he was a Vampire, he cared about me, we had made it work. We humans knew about the Supernatural amongst us, but we stayed away from them to avoid their wars. The officiator began to talk and I smiled, as I continued to look at John, this was it, but before he could start his vows. The windows of the greenhouse shattered as Rogues came running in. They began attacking, and John walked past them without getting hurt. "Make sure to kill her and the officiator. I don't need a weakling of a human as my mate." He t
Tate POV When we were thrown through the portal we were all forced to shift into our other forms, we stepped out into a large barn, where a group of men from the royal sleuth were sitting milking cows. They stopped, when they saw us. A Wendigo with the palest fur I ever saw walked past us and glared at the men. "Sorry, Emiko. We'll get back to work." One of them grumbled, before they all went back to milking the cows. The Wendigo shifted into Ms. Botan, and she looked at us with a smile. "You all have to help also. I don't own a Demon farm for nothing, get to work." She snapped, before walking off. We shifted back into our human forms and I looked at Channing. She seemed distressed about something. "Chan?" I asked her. She looked at me startled. "Sorry, Tate. What were you saying?" She asked, looking to where Ms. Botan disappeared. "Are you okay? You look distressed." She shook her head
Channing POV The festival was crowded by the time I got there. I had opted to keep my hair down and minimal makeup. Aaron was with me, he kept looking around as if someone was watching us. "Everything okay, Aaron?" I asked, as we stopped in front of a booth selling turkey legs. "I'm just looking for someone. I owe her twenty bucks for a favor she did for me." I frowned, Aaron never paid someone for favors. "What was it?" I asked, as I paid the vendor and took my turkey leg. "It was just something to help someone I know. She also got something out of it." "What was it?" "The death of her mate." He said, looking away from me. Her mate? That was what Queen Emiko had said for her mate when she had reset the timeline for me. "Please tell me you didn't get the timeline reset?" "Where's my twenty bucks Aaron." We turned around and she was standing there with a man who towered ov
Justin POV The Elves and Dryads, kept glancing at me. Some with hate, others with curiosity. Did they know what I had called my mate? I began fidgeting with my hands, and ended up walking into Channing. I apologized to her and saw we were at a mansion like cabin. The Elves and Dryads left when the door opened. Out stepped Queen Emiko, Beta Ari, and my mate. "Justin, you and Vlad go back inside." Queen Emiko told me, before she grabbed Channing's and Beta Ari's hand, disappearing in a cloud of smoke. I looked at Vlad and he wiped at a small amount of blood by his lips. "I'm sorry." I told him, as I looked at my hands. "I know." I looked up and he was now standing in front of me. He reached a hand out and placed it on my shoulder. I took a deep breath in, to try and calm down my racing heart. He removed his hand, after placing a kiss on my forhead. "Why don't we go get something to eat. You choose?" He suggested,
Clotho POV It's been weeks since Tate and Channing had made their decision about Emiko. They had already found a way to get her to be human so she could be killed. We knew this, and were trying to figure out how two souls broke free of their string of destiny. This was something unheard of in our times as Fate. We were going through the books of the original Fate. I closed the last book I was reading and growled. "Oh my fucking gods." Atropos cursed with joy. Lachesis and I looked at her. "They've been doing this for centuries. The timeline has been reset so many times because of them, all because of Emiko. She was never meant to be a goddess in the first place until Athena took pity on her." She brought over the book and sure enough she was right. Tate and Channing had been doing this for centuries. There was no way we were going to be able to stop them. They were getting to powerful. How were we going to change their behavio
Channing POV When Emiko had sent me to pick up the Beta of the Alpha King, I was a bit skeptical, but she had insisted and sent me along my way with a Wendigo, Sprite hybrid. A kid. She had to go a different way then us, because she couldn't risk being seen by the Alpha King, for reasons she never told me about. It was a mystery. There were still mysteries about her life I didn't know. She had told me her mate was the infamous trafficker that everyone learned about in high school and when it was time to go to college or university we learned about the more darker parts of her mate, and what he did to her and all of the other men, women, and kids he kidnapped and trafficked. It was a nightmare. Then Mnemosyne and her gave me my memories of my time line resets, so I could learn from them. Thinking back on them I remember when I first met Ari, one of the men I was supposed to kill. It was also the first time I had met Emiko. *FLASHBACK*
Dreg (Channings real mate) POV Now Channing was telling me about how she first met my Beta Ari, when I thought of how I met Arabella Wilder, the woman who for centuries tried to ruin my life whenever we met during the resets. *FLASHBACK TO GREENWICH, ENGLAND 1533* It's been a few months since the princess was born, the King had been expecting a son, but it shows to never trust a Siren when it comes to telling the sex of a child before it's born. My men and I had been releived of duty and we were out at a tavern drinking ale, when a bunch of woman came in. They reeked of trouble and one of them was my mate, I hated the scent she had, the scent that I was supposed to love. I looked around the tavern and I stopped when I saw her. I knew her because she was a wanted outlaw, working with a man name John Earkenhait. They were always looking for new women and men to work to death. "That's Arabella Wilder, Outlaw Pira
Arabella POV I was at the bridal shop with Emiko and Channing. We were all looking at dresses trying to find the right one for my wedding with Tate. He had proposed to me last week during a trip to Paris to meet with other Alpha's about the New Years Eve Mate Ball, which we chosen to host this year. I was looking at a dress when I heard a throat clear. I turned around and it was shop owner. "The Luna Queen thought you would like to see something she requested of us to make." He said, before leading me to a room, and there on a maniquin was a wedding dress with the crest of my ship and clan in silver on the veil and back of the dress. Tears threatened to spill. "Oh I can't afford a custom dress." I told him. "I didn't want my mate to pay for anything." "It's a gift from the Alpha King and Luna Queen." He told me with a smile. "And it's paid upfront for any adjustments we must make or if there's something about it you don'
Channing POV They say every girl dreams of being a princess once in her life, but what everyone doesn't know we are all considered a prince or princess, no matter our background. It's been a century since I became Luna Queen and I was happy. I was walking out in the garden I had been working on, when someone covered my eyes. I knew it wasn't my mate, because he was still working on paperwork. "You know, you could have fun with this." I turned around and it was Arabella, she had dyed her hair again. "I didn't know you were coming." I told her as guards came running in. "Everything is fine." I told them, and then I focused on Arabella. "How have you been?" "I have been good. Tate said I should visit." She said, as we sat down on a bench. I nodded and I looked at the three trees that had intertwined. One by me, one by Arabella, and the last one by Arachne. Yoshino Cherry, Cherry Blossom, and pomegranate. I hadn't
Jafar POV When you are on the run and in hiding like I am, you learn new things, and new languages which then help you with getting work in various fields, which then helps you grow your own company like I did. When I was able to become a doctor, I created a pharmeutical company for the supernatural, since not a lot of human meds worked on us. It also gave me a chance to look for my mate now that I had a lot of people working for me. I was on my last search for my mate before I would live my life, without a mate. I was walking through town with a Gremlin I made friends with during my time on the run from hunters, when he stopped me. "Lady Arachne, what brings you up here?" Ali asked. I looked to see that I had almost ran into a pregnant woman. "I'm looking for Eugene's mate." "Still haven't found him?" She shook her head no. "Usually I am great at finding people but it's like he's here but then
Channing POV Once everyone was seated again. Arabella and Tate were called up as Alpha Ajax sat down. "I have already told them what this was for. They will be taking over the Fae Kingdom, it was supposed to be the Wendigos, but the Wendigos will be moving down to the Underworld with us, except for Hans Louis. This is actually the most easiest ceremony." Arachne spoke. She looked at Arabella, who handed her a vial of red liquid. Arachne broke it and the liquid fell onto the crown that she had taken off her head. The crown split in two. One forming a tiara, the other a Fae crown for a king. She placed them on their heads and smiled. "If there's a problem you can't handle, call me." She told them, before they went to go sit back down. This was it. The crowning of the new Alpha King. I hope they chose someone who was right for the role. "We did, Channing. You and Dreg." Arachne said, looking at me. I just stared a
Arabella POV It was the day of the wedding and I was nervous as hell. Emiko had told me she had a surprise for me. I had half a mind to run away because I hated not knowing what the surprise was, but I stayed. I was getting married to my mate. Emiko had chosen me and Tate to take over the Fae Kingdom, which had Channing a little bit pissed seeing as she had known Channing more than I did. I was playing a game on my phone when there was a knock on my door, before Emiko walked in. "Hey so you wanna know what I'm getting for Channing and Dreg?" She asked, sitting down next to me. I nodded, knowing that what ever it was, was going to make the two of them happy, and Channing not so pissy. Emiko let out a snort as she heard my thoughts. "Yeah, Ajax and I are going to be moving to the Underworld. Channing and Dreg will be taking over as Alpha King and Luna Queen." She said, giving me a smile. "I think it's a deserving role for Channi
Dreg POV It's been over five years since we all last saw Frost and Emiko, we had put the weddings on hold because Channing and Arabella still wanted to get married at the same time as Emiko. We had learned that Hades had returned back to the Underworld hours after he had left with Frost, but he said Frost and Emiko had left when Emiko got a phone call from an unknown number. It was supposedly nothing serious but now everyone was out looking, including the gods and goddesses. It was like they disappeared off the face of the Earth. I was out walking with a few of my men, when I heard a familiar voice. It sounded like Frost. We followed the voice and we stopped when we saw an older looking Frost helping Emiko who had crutches. He spoke to her in a language that sounded like French and she glared at him, before speaking back to him in the same language. They walked in our direction but stopped when they saw us. "Alpha Dreg." She said, as Frost pl
Channing POV How could he not accept them as mates? Sure having two mates was rare but it wasn't forbidden. I was currently staying in a spare room, at Emiko's and Alpha Ajax's place. Have been for two weeks. Emiko had been blocking my scent whenever Dragons had come to stop by that weren't apart of the Sleuth. Both her and Alpha Ajax had been lying about my whereabouts whenever Dreg called. I couldn't talk to him right now. Frost was just a kid. He had no right. I was cleaning the mate band, when my phone rang. I picked it up and it was Dreg. I let out a sigh before answering and putting it on speaker. "Channing I am so sorry." He rushed out, he sounded really worried. "Can they come back?" I asked, before I let out a bunch of curses when I stubbed my toes at the corner of the bed. "Are you okay?" He asked, making me let out a snort. "I stubbed my toes on the foot of the bed." I answered, as Emiko came bursting into m
Eric POV I wanted to go with Ari, to protect him, but I had to stay with our third. Who seemed to still be just a kid. I looked at him as he sat on the couch staring at his hands. I walked over and sat down next to him, and he lifted his head up, worry was in his eyes. "You're a Vampire?" He asked, as his nose twitched. I nodded. "It's not a problem is it?" I asked, knowing that it wasn't just Water Dragons that had a problem with Vampires. He shook his head no with a smile. "How old are you? I only know Beta Ari's age." He said, as he went back to fidgeting with his hands. I grabbed his hands stopping him and he looked at me again. "342 years old." I told him. "You?" "17 as of five minutes ago." He answered. He was still a minor, but I understood why Alpha Dreg uses him as a representative. He was very smart and strong for his age. "Name?" "Frost." He answered, with an a

Dreg (Channings real mate) POV Now Channing was telling me about how she first met my Beta Ari, when I thought of how I met Arabella Wilder, the woman who for centuries tried to ruin my life whenever we met during the resets. *FLASHBACK TO GREENWICH, ENGLAND 1533* It's been a few months since the princess was born, the King had been expecting a son, but it shows to never trust a Siren when it comes to telling the sex of a child before it's born.
