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.

    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

    Arystyn woke up sweating and trembling. She had just had a dream that felt all too real.In the dream, she was walking in the woods at night, her twins, Ari and Zander by her side. They were laughing and chasing fireflies when suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere and snatched Ari away.Arystyn tried to run after him, but he was too fast. She could hear Ari’s screams fading away in the distance. She turned to Zander but he was gone too.Arystyn felt a sense of panic rising in her chest. She knew she had to find them, but she didn't know where to start. Then, the figure reappeared, this time standing right in front of her. He was tall and muscular, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to glow in the dark.Arystyn tried to scream, but her voice was trapped in her throat. The figure reached out to touch her face, and she flinched, expecting the worst. But instead of hurting her, he whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Arystyn. I'll keep you safe."And then she woke up, gasping for air.

    As the taxi pulled up to the pack house Arystyn stepped out, She was greeted by her father. “Arystyn we need to talk.” We will Drake but first I need to talk to Alex. She still couldn’t bring herself to call him dad even as close as she felt to him now. Her adoptive father was the only man she had ever called dad and she wasn’t ready to give that up. Many sleepless nights had gone by as she stayed up wishing she could take back all the hurtful words she had said to Alex and now, she had decided it was time to fix her marriage if possible. If she had just listened to Drake and gone to Alex instead of listening to Austin and thinking he had her best interest at heart, lately she was beginning to doubt his motives behind making her feel that Alex was not sincere or telling the truth in his explanation of why he had paid money to Dr. Before her kidnapping at which time she had subsequently given birth to their twins and almost lost them due to the dr wanting to use the blood of their babie

    "Sorry I'm late," Austin announced as he strutted in, with his head held high with his hands in his pant pockets. "I could barely get back through the door with the number of reporters swarming the place. You’d think the freaking Queen of England was here!” He walked over to the summit committee and began shaking hands.Austin found himself questioned about his presence at the summit meeting instead of their Beta, Alex. He calmly explained that Alex was missing and as the Aloha’s son he was stepping in for him in order to ensure that the important matters of the meeting were still addressed. Austin knew it was crucial for the pack to stay informed and up to date on any developments affecting them, and he was more than willing to do his part as a loyal member of the pack. The other members of the summit nodded in agreement, showing their appreciation for his dedication and loyalty to the pack but they still were secretly displeased as they were accustomed to only working with the Alpha

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

    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.

    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
