Artsyn found herself sitting in front of the lack house. She hadn't been back here in weeks and all of a sudden realized that she was nervous about seeing Alex. Afraid of his disappointment and afraid of her feelings for him. She did not know where her life was headed and it wasn't fair to ask him to wait until she figures it out. She stepped out of the car and walked swiftly to the door to get out of the cold. Being a werewolf she didn't usually get cold but today was an exception. Along with the cold, there was a beginning. Slight freezing rain. Arystyn was headed towards Drake’s office when she ran straight into Alex nearly losing her footing she grabbed for the wall to steady herself. H hi, Alex his have you been she stammered. He looked at her and she noticed he looked weary. I'm fine he scoffed and kept walking past her. Alex, please didn't hate me Arystyn pleaded. He glared at her “can we talk in a little while she asked. He retorted I have some free time in about an hour I can
Borrowing a little more of the precious time she was so seldom afforded, Arystyn lay in her warm, cozy bed Arystyn started, willing herself to get up. She started the coffee pot before jumping in the shower, as she stepped out into the hallway, the fresh aroma of coffee hit her in the face. She grabbed half a package of bacon left from the day before as well as eggs and milk to complete the homestyle breakfast before starting her day. after 2 cups of coffee and a full stomach, Arystyn headed toward the clinic in town. Today was the day that she and Drake were having DNA testing to see if she was one of the two children that Lucinda Masyn was carrying when she died and was in fact, the daughter of Drake Masyn.Drake Masyn sat in the dining room, nursing his last cup of coffee before heading to the clinic. Drake couldn’t wrap his head around all of the events of the previous two days. If he hadn't seen for himself Lucinda‘s name on Arystyn’s birth certificate, Drake would have called her
Arystyn spent the following week talking to everyone she could think of that might be able to tell her more about the people she had thought to be her birth parents but seemed to run into roadblocks at every turn. There had to be someone out there who could give her the information she needed.Arystyn was racking her brain trying to figure out what steps to take next when her phone rang, it was Drake. “Hello Drake” she stated flatly. Drake began,“ I have some information that might be helpful in finding the answers we are both searching for.”Drake met Arystyn at the car upon her arrival. He opened her door and attempted to help her out of the car. Arystyn pulled her arm out of his grasp. “ I'm not helpless I can get out of a car myself, she snapped. Arystyn noticed the unease and the hurt on his face as she pushed past him. Arystyn felt a deep sense of loss and confusion about why she and even Drake were never told before. “ I’m trying here Arystyn and I’m just as much a victim in th
Arystyn and Drake had been searching for the doctor who had delivered Arystyn and her twin for months, hoping to get answers about what had happened to them after their mother's death. Finally, they received a tip that led them to a small clinic on the outskirts of town.As they walked into the clinic, they saw a man dressed in a white lab coat, standing at the reception desk. He looked up and saw them approaching."Can I help you?" he asked."Yes," Drake said. "We're looking for a doctor who delivered my wife's twins 24 years ago. We were told he might be here."The man's expression changed slightly. "I'm a doctor. What do you need to know?"Arystyn stepped forward. "We need to know what happened to those babies after they were born. We know that Lucinda died, and we were told that the babies were taken by someone. We think it was you."The man's face paled. "I don't know what you're talking about.""You were the doctor who delivered the babies," Drake said firmly. "We know that much.
Arystyn and Drake arrived at Abigail's house, hoping to find some answers about the mysterious person who had received the twins Abigail greeted them warmly as she ushered them inside."Please, come in. What brings you both here?" Abigail asked.Drake spoke up before Arystyn could say anything. "We need to know who you gave the twins to. It could be a matter of life and death."Abigail hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the name of the person who had received the twins. Arystyn and Drake exchanged a look of surprise as they recognized the name."We need to find him right away," Arystyn said urgently.Suddenly, the sound of howling filled the air. The trio quickly realized that they were being surrounded by a pack of werewolves."Get ready to fight," Drake warned.Arystyn and Drake drew their weapons as Abigail retreated into the safety of her home. The werewolves charged forward, their claws and teeth bared.Arystyn and Drake fought valiantly, but they quickly realized tha
Arystyn couldn't believe what she was hearing. Drake, the alpha werewolf of the pack that she had recently discovered was her biological father was offering her safety and shelter in his packhouse. He wanted her to be closer while they searched for Austin."Are you sure about this?" she asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty.Drake nodded. "I am. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I think it's time for us to put that aside and look out for each other. And as for your brother Austin, we'll do everything in our power to find him. I promise."Arystyn felt a sense of relief wash over her. She had been on the run for so long, always looking over her shoulder and never feeling truly safe. This offer from Drake was a lifeline she couldn't ignore."I accept," she said, smiling despite herself.Drake grinned back at her. "Good. Let's get you settled in. You can stay in the room next to mine."As they walked through the packhouse, Arystyn couldn't help but feel a sense of won
Arystyn and Alex had been fighting their attraction for months, but finally, they had given in. The passion between them was intense and consuming, but they couldn't forget the urgency of their mission.Drake had managed to find out about Darian's father's involvement in the twins' separation, and he was determined to find the truth. They knew that they had to act fast before Fredrickson could cause any harm.They searched tirelessly for any clues or leads that could lead them to Darian's father. They visited old contacts and followed up on rumors, but nothing seemed to pan out.Then, one day, they received an anonymous tip that led them to a small town in the middle of nowhere. It was there that they finally found Darian's father, who had been living a quiet life under a different name.He admitted to separating the twins because he had been promised a large sum of money by a mysterious organization called The Magdaline who wanted the power of the teins. However, he had grown to regre
Arystyn texted Jake and asked him to meet her at Pizza Pie. She received a thumbs up emoji indicating he would be there..Arystyn was on her cell talking to Alex when Jake walked in. He slowly approached her table not knowing what to expect. Arystyn finished her phone call and put down the phone. What the Hell Jake? I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why you are fighting along with Darian’s pack! Were you in on all of this with the attack and all? No I swear Arystyn! I didn’t know you were going to be there until I almost attacked you. Thank God Alex was there! It all just happened so fast! Jake told her how he had been attacked and turned into a werewolf 3 years ago and had lived and learned from the pack since that time. Arystyn looked at Jake. “What was the date that you were attacked she asked. Strangely it was the night before my 21st birthday. He told her the date. It was the same night she was attacked and the night before her 21st birthday as well.Arystyn had a
As the moon reached its peak in the night sky, Arystyn stood before her ex-lover Darian, who had descended into darkness and sought to destroy everything she held dear. Her heart raced with a mix of fear and determination, fueled by the love she had for her family and the strength born from her own inner wolf.In the dimly lit cavern, surrounded by the remnants of their past, Arystyn's eyes met Darian's cold gaze. She could see the twisted pleasure he derived from seeing her vulnerable, but she refused to succumb to his intimidation. She had come too far to crumble now.With a voice laden with both anger and sorrow, Arystyn spoke, "Darian, your thirst for power and revenge has clouded your judgment. You may have thought you had won, but know this – no darkness can snuff out the light that resides within me."Darian sneered, his voice dripping with malice, "You should have stayed away, my dear. Now, watch as I tear everything you love apart."With a swift motion, Darian unleashed his m
Arystyn had never stopped loving him, even after she had killed him to protect herself and her inheritance. She had mourned him for months, clinging to his memories and wishing things could have been different. She had tried to move on and let go of what she thought she’d had. She had thought was her soulmate, the Alpha of the Fredrickson pack.But he was gone. And she had accepted it.That’s why she was shocked when she saw him again, three years later, in a crowded mall. He looked different, older, and harder, but she recognized him instantly. His eyes, his smile, his scent. It was him. Darian Fredrickson.Arystyn was surprised when she recognized the woman with him. It was Maya! Maya whom she had trusted and loved since she had first come to her father Drake’s pack after realizing she was a werewolf.Arystyn walked silently to the back of the alley behind where Maya and Darian were standing. Arystyn reached out a pulled Maya by the arm and into the alley. “ What the?!” Maya began b
Arystyn's heart pounded in her chest as she held her twins, Ari and Xander, tightly in her arms. The memories of their terrifying kidnapping still haunted her, but she refused to let fear dictate their lives any longer. Life had returned to some semblance of normalcy for the family, and they were determined to embrace it wholeheartedly.After the traumatic ordeal, Arystyn and her husband, Alex’realized the importance of cherishing every moment with their loved ones. They became fiercely protective of their children, taking extra precautions to ensure their safety. They installed a state-of-the-art security system in their home, hired a trusted nanny, and enrolled the twins in self-defense classes at an early age.The incident instilled a sense of resilience and strength within Arystyn. She refused to let fear consume her and made a conscious effort to create a nurturing environment for her family. With the support of Drake, her father who was her rock throughout the entire ordeal, they
As she was heading to her room to change into her training gear someone grabbed Maya and put their hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream. What the Hell! Maya could feel her canines coming out and she could smell an unfamiliar scent she hadn't smelled before. She jumped to the left and attempted to land on the chest of her captor. Maya was looking into the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen! Who are you and what the Hell do you think you're doing?!Slowly releasing her the captor stared at her longingly. Why are you looking at me like that she asked. “I have just never seen anyone as beautiful as you and I can assure you I am not easily impressed.” Maya wasn't sure if he was sincere or just that full of himself. Again I'll ask you politely but the next time it won't matter because I'll kill you Maya retorted. Oh my dear please excuse my rudeness, my name is Eric. Well, then Eric who do you think you are scaring me half to death? You better have a good reason! “I just want
Connor and Maya, we’re sitting in the dining room eating lunch. They had been on the night shift for the past 2 weeks on a stakeout watching a local vampire coven who had been rumored to have kidnapped several werewolves in the community. Connor looked around the room to ensure they were alone before speaking. “ What have you heard in Luna’s sector?” he asked Maya. Well, I’m not really privy to the gossip yet they don’t like the fact that a Luna is in their army and they have to cook and clean.I know you Maya you will win them over and you’ll have them eating out of your hands! Maya threw her napkin and hit him in the face. “Oh yeah and don’t you forget it!” She laughed the hearty boisterous laugh that he loved so much. Maybe someday he get up the guts to tell her. Just as they were getting up to go wash their dishes Genie came in and told them Gordon the Beta wanted to speak to them. “Ok as soon as we finish cleaning up” No, Genie said I’ll clean up, I have a feeling this is impor
Arystyn and Alex were sitting in their living room, trying to piece together the events of the past fewArystyn, blamed herself for not being able to protect her family . Alex even having to hide out and pretend he was dead after someone tried to kill him. She knew that their kidnapper must be someone who knew about the twins' powers and wanted to use them for their own purposes.As they sat there, deep in thought, Arystyn suddenly realized something Alex, do you remember the Fredrickson pack having a send off for Darian after I killed him?Alex looked at Arystyn thoughtfully. You know I just remembered,"Darian Fredrickson, the alpha of the pack, was never found.What if he's not really dead and he's the one who's behind all of this?"Alex looked at her with concern. "Are you sure? We thought we killed him."Arystyn shook her head. "I'm not sure, but it's our best lead right now. We need to find out for sure."They decided the only way to find answers would be to infiltrate the Fredri
Arystyn slowly made her way to the pack house to see who could possibly be here to speak with her on the day of her husband's send-off ceremony.Just as Arystyn made her way around the corner of the house her ankle turned and broke the heel of her shoe. Arystyn cursed out loud. As she started up the stepsDrake met her at the door on his way out. “Inqas just coming to get you,” he said hurry! Arystyn couldn't imagine what could be so urgent as she took off hershoes to walk easier. Drake grabbed her by the hand and pulled her up the stairs. Who is here to see me she asked. He looked at her and grabbed her suitcase andtold her to pack. “Drake I demand to know what's going on !” Drake said “Pack and I’ll explain on the way! “Arystyn was escorted out through the secret passage in the pack’s basement where Nanny was waiting with Ari and Zander. She and Drake rushed with Nanny andthe twins to a van waiting at the door. As they pulled out onto a back road they headed west away from the h

How was she supposed to do this?Arystyn dragged herself out of her big four-poster bed that she had shared with Alex for the past 3 years. Such a short time and she had wasted it. She had given in to Austin’s lies and believed that her mate had betrayed her. She still didn't know the w
