After traveling incognito with the Lycans Arystyn finally started to recognize her surroundings. “ I don’t live far from here” Arystyn announced to Jonah the leader of the group. Jonah was the Beta of his pack and was traveling with a band of young Lunas who were going to be mated with members of Jonah’s pack. The Lunas were a big help with Ari and Zander and all took turns holding and cooing over the tiny infants who were seemingly enjoying all the attention. The oldest of the group was Gina who told Arystyn that she had just celebrated her 25th birthday and was set up to be mated to the Alpha’s son Journey and she was hoping she would have a child of her own soon. As they topped the next hill Arystyn felt a big lump in her throat. She was home and would soon be back with her family!As she started up the driveway she suddenly became angry. Angry that life seemed to have gone on as normal in her absence. No guards were standing at attention as she expected and she wondered if her fam
Alex felt his heart racing as he listened to the stunning news from Arystyn. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, trying to contain his rage."What do you mean, Dr. Adams kidnapped you and our babies?" he asked, unable to believe what he was hearing.Arystyn took a deep breath and told him how they had drugged her and taken her to a secret lab, and how Dr. Adams had revealed his true intentions."He said he needed our babies to experiment on them, to create a new breed of super-werewolves," Arystyn said, tears streaming down her face. "I couldn't let him do that, so I fought back and escaped with the babies."Alex could hardly imagine the horror and pain that Arystyn must have gone through. He hugged her tightly and whispered words of comfort."We're safe now, thanks to you," he said. "But we can't let Dr. Adams get away with this. He needs to pay for his crimes, and we need to find out who else is involved in this plot."Arystyn nodded, her eyes determined. "I trust you, Alex
Arystyn fumbled through the clutter on her bedside table, searching for her keys. As she pushed aside old receipts and empty water bottles, her hand brushed against a crumpled note with Alex's handwriting scrawled across it."Pay Dr. Adams for being successful in the 'special project.' $10,000 due by Thursday."Her heart sank. Arystyn would never have suspected that her husband was hiding something from her, but this was beyond what she could have imagined. The note was dated just two days before their kidnapping.Tears welled up in Arystyn's eyes. How could someone she loved so much be capable of something so cruel? She clutched the note tightly in her hand, feeling a mix of anger, betrayal, and fear.But as much as Arystyn wanted to confront Alex right then and there, she knew she had to be careful. If he was involved in the kidnapping, he might try to hurt her or the twins if he thought she was onto him. She needed to play it safe, gather more evidence, and make a plan.With a heav
Arystyn sat across from her twin brother Austin, trying to catch her breath as she handed him a crumpled-up note. "I found this in Alex's bedside table," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It suggests that he might have had something to do with our kidnapping and the disappearance of our babies." She watched as Austin's face turned dark, his eyes narrowing into slits as he read the note."I knew it," he muttered under his breath. "I always had a feeling that something wasn't right with him." He looked up at Arystyn, his expression one of pure anger. "How could he do this to us? To his own family?"Arystyn felt a wave of sadness wash over her as she thought about the man she had married just a few months ago. Alex had seemed like the perfect husband at first - kind, loving, and always there for her. But when she became pregnant and things started to change. He became distant, and moody, and started spending more and more time away from home."What are we going to do?" she ask
Devin was writing his case notes for the recent homicide of one of the fairies in the Fey community. It was a terrible incident in which some basically burned her alive in the city park. It was believed that the local vampires had declared war on the Faes.It was a big mess! So many innocent lives are being lost. Devin's phone rang and he picked it up. “ Speak to me.” Hell yeah, he replied thanks for the info! Devin jumped up and grabbed his jacket. Smith get your ass in here we’ve gotta get up the Farmsville we have a lead in the Sharp case!Pulling up to a big house out on Peachtree Road Devin noticed there was no electricity and someone had candles bribing inside. He slowly crouched toward the house to get a sneak peek. Devin saw a woman third up in the corner of the room with a rag stuffed in her mouth with duct tape to help it from coming out. Devin could not see the woman’s face but she seemed to be in trouble. At that moment a man walked in with a tray of food and untied her an
Arystyn just finished putting the twins down for their nap both in Zander’s crib because that’s where they’d both end up anyway. And she decided to call and see if Devin had any leads. She rang his number but it went straight to voicemail. That’s odd she thought, wouldn’t a detective keep his phone charged at all times? She decided she would go into town and go to the police station. Arystyn pushed the call button for the nanny and explained that she had to go into town and for her not to leave the babies alone for any reason. There were 2 guards stationed at the nursery door and they knew no one was to be allowed in unless she was with them.She met Alex in the hallway and reverted her eyes away from him hoping he wouldn’t speak to her. “Arystyn we need to talk” Arystyn glared at him. “I have nothing to say to you and if it weren’t for the safety of MY children I’d be at a hotel.” Alex grimaced at her tone. “What can I do to make you believe that I would never put you or our children
Devin opened his eyes and looked around the room. He could feel his stomach churning. He hadn't had any food or water in days and he didn't know how long he would survive like this. They had not tortured him physically but they were starving him he didn't know what would be worse. He had to figure a way out of here or he and Lucinda would both die. He looked around the room and noticed that Lucinda wasn't moving. He scooted over and nudged her. She groaned at his touch. Wake up, Lucinda! Lucinda struggled to open her eyes. She was so weak from the silver chains wrapped around her ankles. “ I can't do this Devin the silver is killing me slowly. “I have an idea, “he said. The guard came in to check to see if they were still alive. He noticed immediately that Lucinda wasn't moving so he bent over her to feel her pulse. In that moment Lucinda shifted and pounced on him before he had a chance to do the same and ripped out his throat. Thankful that Devin had a skeleton handcuff key in h
Devin had always known that he was different. Ever since he was a child, he had exhibited powers that were beyond human capabilities. But he had no idea where they came from or how to explain them.As he sat across from Lucinda, he could feel her eyes studying him intently. He had been Arystyn's friend for years and had even helped the family with a few supernatural cases, but this was the first time Lucinda had directly asked him about his own nature."Devin," she said slowly, "I've been wondering something for a while now. Are you human?"Devin sighed inwardly. He had anticipated this question sooner or later, but it still stung. "I am a werewolf, Lucinda," he admitted. "I mean, I don't have any memories of my parents or where I came from. All I know is that I have these other “powers." that most other werewolves don't have.Lucinda nodded thoughtfully. "I see. And what kind of powers are those?"Devin hesitated, not sure if he wanted to reveal too much. But then he thought of Aryst
