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
Arystyn knew that if she was going to save her husband, she would have to play a dangerous game. She had to pretend not to know about her brother's evil plans and act loyal to him, all while secretly trying to gather any clues about where her husband was being held captive. It was a risky move, but with her love for her husband driving her every move, Arystyn was determined to do whatever it takes to bring him back home safely. With each passing moment, she knew that time was running out and that she had to act quickly before it was too late.Oh, Austin I truly don’t know what I’d do if it wasn’t for your support! I just can’t imagine why Alex would leave his children despite our differences. Do you think he is planning to sneak back and steal our children? How will ever protect them? Austin looked at Arystyn and replied “ I have a place that no one knows about. I can take you and the children there and Alex will never find you. Bingo! This was exactly the kind of plan that she had ho
Arystyn couldn't sleep. She was too worried about her husband, Alex, whinhar give missing. She knew that time was running out, but she didn't know where to start looking for him.That's when she remembered her brother Austin's safe house. She and her twins, had been staying with Austin for a few days now, trying to lay low and stay out of danger.But maybe there was more to the safe house than they realized. Arystyn got out of bed and quietly and grabbed her phone. She only hooes that her message would go through due to her weak signal.In her text she she wrote "Devin I need your help,""What's wrong?” he texted back"I think I might have found a clue about where Alex is being held," Arystyn said. "Can you come with me to check something out?"Without hesitation, Devin answered I'll be right there. Arystyn got up and went to the safe house's basement. She explained to Devin,"I was looking for something in the pantry and found a map," she said, as she pulled out a crumpled piece of p
Arystyn held her twin babies Ari and Zander close as they trudged through the dense forest. Her heart was heavy, for her beloved husband Alex had been kidnapped by unknown assailants. Her brother Austin walked ahead of them, his eyes scanning the surrounding area for any signs of danger.Suddenly, a figure stumbled out of the bushes ahead of them. It was their biological mother, Lucinda. She was bloodied and bruised, her clothes torn and matted with dirt."Mother!" Arystyn cried out, rushing forward to help her.Lucinda reached out to her, her voice hoarse from screaming. "Arystyn, I've been attacked! They took me by surprise!"Arystyn quickly sent her brother Austin to go find help for their mother. But as soon as he was out of sight, Lucinda's true intentions were revealed.She lunged forward, grabbing Ari and Zander from Arystyn's arms. In horror, Arystyn watched as Lucinda handed the babies over to Austin, who had suddenly appeared from behind a nearby tree."Lucinda, what are you
Devin parked his Jeep next to the edge of the dirt road that led to the cabin. He got out and stretched his long legs, feeling the fresh air and the scent of pine trees around him. He adjusted his gun holster and checked his phone for any new messages, but there was no signal. He sighed and wondered if he should have brought more backup, but he trusted Arystyn's instincts and his own skills.He knocked on the door and waited, listening to the creaks and rustles inside. He heard a faint growl and tensed up, ready to draw his gun if needed. But then he recognized Arystyn's voice."It's me, Devin. Open up."The door opened slowly, revealing Arystyn's face, which was smeared with dirt and sweat but still determined. She wore her leather jacket and jeans, and her hair was tied back in a messy bun. Her eyes lit up when she saw him."Devin! Thank goodness you're here. Come in, come in."He stepped inside and looked around, taking in the cozy but cluttered interior of the cabin. There were em
As the sun began to set, Arystyn and Devin knew that they would soon face their greatest challenge yet. The Fredrickson pack had been causing trouble for months, and it was time for them to be stopped once and for all.With her special speed and levitation abilities, Arystyn led the way, darting through the trees and jumping over obstacles with ease. Devin followed close behind, keeping watch for any signs of danger.As they approached the Fredrickson pack's territory, they could hear the howls of the wolves echoing through the forest. Arystyn and Devin exchanged a glance, knowing that they had to act fast.Without hesitation, Arystyn lunged into the pack, her claws slicing through the air as she took down one wolf after another. Devin fired off shots from his gun, hitting his targets with deadly accuracy.Despite their fierce opposition, Arystyn and Devin weremore than a match for the rival werewolf pack. With their combined strength and determination, they fought their way to victor
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
Arystyn woke up and reached for Alex and then it all came rushing back. Alex was gone and she would never be able to look into his beautiful eyes ever again. Today they would be participating in his send-off service she didn't know how she was going to do this! She was all alone her children would grow up without their father! Why was life so cruel? All she wanted was to be happy and live a simple life! Her life was anything but simple. Time after time she had been accosted with one drama after another Alex was the one person who made her feel like everything would be ok. He was the one who saved her when she was attacked and had been turned. He loved her even when she did not deserve his love. Oh God! 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
