Rain returned with his laptop, and we gathered around the table to watch the footage. Ryker had taken a video of the entire parking lot, and we watched as people walked by, going about their daily business. But then, we saw her. A woman with long, curly hair and a white sundress. She was standing off to the side, watching us with an intense gaze. And then, she laughed. The same cold, mirthless sound that we had heard before.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I asked, "Who is that?" Rain zoomed in on the woman's face, and we studied it carefully. But none of us recognized her. Blaze's eyes narrowed as he said, "I think I can help with that. Let me take a closer look." He took Rain's laptop and started typing away. After a few minutes, he looked up, his expression grim. Who was this woman, and what did she want with us? Blaze's voice was low and serious as he said, "I think I know who she is. And it's not good. Her name is Morgan, and she's a witch with a reputation for being ruthles
But as I let my guard down, I received a package in the mail. It was a small, unmarked box with no return address. I opened it revealing a small, ornate music box inside. The melody it played was hauntingly familiar, and I knew instantly that it was a message from Morgan.I called Kira and Lana, my heart racing with fear. They arrived quickly, and we examined the music box and the package together. Lana's eyes widened as she recognized the symbol etched onto the box's lid."This is the mark of Morgan's coven," she said, her voice low and serious. "She's sending us a message, letting us know that she's still watching, still waiting." If she sends anything else, don’t open it. It could be a spell inside.” Lana said. I slowly realized my grave mistake. “Do you think there was one?” I asked.“ Do you feel any different?” I waited silently checking my feelings and moods, then my body temperature and train of thoughts. Everything seems normal. “She’s slowly getting under your skin. Not al
As they arrived at the venue, the boys all helped the girls out of the limo, and they made their way into the dance. The music was pumping, and the lights were flashing, but all eyes were on Flame and Matt, the new couple. Naki, who was chaperoning the event, smiled as she watched the group, as Jasper told her about what had happened, knowing that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. As the night wore on, the boys all danced and laughed together, enjoying each other's company, but Flame and Matt were inseparable, lost in their own little world. It was clear that they were meant to be, and the boys were all thrilled to see their sister and friend so happy.The evening was filled with laughter and music, as the boys danced and chatted with their dates. They were all charming and courteous, making sure their dates felt special and appreciated. Meanwhile, back at the mansion, I was keeping an eye on things through Naki's mindlink. I could sense the boys' excitement
The days leading up to Flame and Mat's mating ceremony were a whirlwind of activity. The household was buzzing with excitement as we prepared for the big day. Flame was beaming with happiness, and Matt was doting on her every need.As the boys' mother, it was hard not to feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. It seemed like just yesterday that Flame was a little girl, playing with her brothers in the mansion's gardens. Now, she was all grown up and ready to start her own life with Matt.I walked into her room, intending to have a mother daughter talk, “So when did you get your wolf?” I asked casually. “I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you mom, I wanted to surprised you on our next hunt.” She smiled, “Wanna see her” she asked.I nodded very excitedly, watching her shift. As Flame shifted, her body transformed into a beautiful, sleek wolf. Her fur was a gorgeous shade of silver, with hints of gray and white that seemed to shimmer in the light. Her eyes remained the same bright, piercing blue
As we made our way to the reception, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The boys were all growing up, and I knew that soon they would be finding their own mates and starting their own families.But as we celebrated Flame and Mat's union, something was about to change. Something big. And I had a feeling that it was going to involve my boys...As the night wore on, the music and laughter filled the air. The boys were all dancing and having a great time, but I couldn't help but notice that they seemed a little... restless. They were all smiling and laughing, but there was something in their eyes that suggested they were waiting for something - or someone.I pushed the thought aside, focusing on the celebration at hand.. The night wore on, music and laughter filled the air. The boys were all dancing and having a great time, but I couldn't help but notice that they seemed a little... restless. They were all smiling and laughing, but there was something in the
As River backed away, Astrid's smile faltered for a moment, and she looked taken aback. But then, her expression changed, and she looked at River with a newfound understanding. "I see," she said, her voice soft. "You're one of them. One of the quadruplets." River nodded, his eyes still wide with wonder. "How did you know?" he asked.Astrid smiled again, and this time, it was a smile of determination. "I've been researching your family for a while now," she said. "I knew that the quadruplets would have a special bond, one that would be hard to break. And I knew that they would share a mate, one who would be able to handle all of them." As Astrid spoke, the other boys moved forward, their eyes fixed on her with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.Jasper, ever the protector, stood tall, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at Astrid. "What makes you think you're the one?" he asked, his voice low and rough. Astrid's smile grew wider, and she took a step forward, her eyes locked on the boys. "I kn
Storm's expression turned thoughtful, his eyes clouded with concern. "I think we're all thinking the same thing. We need to be careful, and we need to find out more about Astrid. But we also need to trust the boys' instincts. They're not stupid, and they can take care of themselves."As we stood there, watching and waiting, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Astrid was hiding something. And I couldn't help but wonder what secrets she might be keeping.Just then, Blaze spoke up, his voice low and serious. "I'll start digging into her background, see if I can find out anything. But in the meantime, we need to keep a close eye on her. If she's hiding something, we need to know what it is."Rain nodded in agreement. "I'll talk with Thorn and keep an eye on the boys, make sure they're not getting in over their heads. We don't know what we're dealing with here."Kira frowned, her brow furrowed in concern. "I don't like this one bit. We're taking a big risk by letting her into our territo
The next day Alpha Atticus arrived with thousands of his warriors, they set up camp just within our territory, and he came straight to Blaze, His smile was infectious as he hugged his old friend. “It’s been ages! How are you?” Alpha Atticus said, still holding Blaze’s hand. “Good and you?” he asked.“Not so good, my brother!” he said as they walked into the Packhouse. “Is she in a very secure cell?” he asked.“Yeah, she’s in a witch's cell.” “Excellent!” he said as he turned to his Beta, “ Go, interrogate her immediately!” his Beta nodded and rushed away, Rain showed him the way.“So what’s going on with her?” Blaze asked as we all took seats including Kira and the boys.“It’s a long story but the short of it is: She is a powerful witch, as you already figured out. She was my daughter's best friend or so we all thought until my daughter turned up missing, we have been searching for her for months,” he put his head down and sighed. I gave him a beer, and Blaze took one too, we alr
I spent the rest of the day resting and preparing myself for the training that lay ahead. Kira and the elder dragon had explained that my training would be intense and challenging, but I was determined to learn as much as I could. The next morning, I woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready to start my training. Kira was already in the kitchen, cooking up a hearty breakfast. Ryker was sitting at the table, sipping on a cup of coffee. He smiled at me, that sexy smile of his that made my body warm and wet."Good morning," Kira said, smiling at me, drawing my attention away from Ryker. "Today's the day we start your training. Are you ready?" I nodded, feeling a surge of excitement. "I was born ready," I said, grinning. Kira chuckled and handed me a plate of food, and I dug in, fueling up for the long day ahead.After breakfast, Kira and Ryker led me to a secluded clearing deep in the forest. The elder dragon was already there, standing tall and proud. "This is where your training will
As we stood at Miss Mandy's gravesite, surrounded by the pack and the dragons, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and grief. She had been like a mother to me, and her passing had left a huge void in my heart.The ceremony was beautiful, with Kira saying some heartfelt words about Miss Mandy's life and legacy. The dragons also paid their respects, with the elder dragon bowing his head in respect.As we said our final goodbyes, I felt a strange sensation in the air. It was as if Miss Mandy's spirit was still with us, watching over us.Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew through the trees, carrying with it the scent of lavender and vanilla. It was Miss Mandy's scent, and it filled my heart with warmth and comfort.I smiled, knowing that she was still with us, guiding us and protecting us. But little did I know, something else was happening…As we walked back to our homes, I noticed that the dragons were gathered around the elder dragon, who was speaking to them in a low tone. I wondere
My heart was breaking into a million pieces, She was like a mother to me.The things that she was saying didn’t make much since, we didn’t understand and she looked to us with great confusion. It was almost as if she could not comprend why we were not getting it. I looked to Kira, “She is inbetween worlds.” she started to explain in whispers, “What she sees we con not began to understand.” I nodded looking back at her, she smiled. “Your Soul is so beautiful, Syla!” she smiled. I am lucky to have been your pretend mom. I love you!” she reached out for my hand but then something caught her eye. She staired it down. “You will NEVER have her!!” she yelled, and it startled everyone in the room. “Is everything ok, Miss Mandy?” I asked wanting to know who she was yelling at.“Yes, I will deal with her on the other side,” she said with a grin and a wink, “and you can call me moomm too.”“Mom, who were you yelling at?”“Janet!” she is still trying to hurt you and your babies, I’ll put a stop
I sat at my computer looking at our website for Venom, the sales was doing great, and the reviews were amazing, but hen i got a notification, from someone that I havnt heard from in awhile, It was Miss Mandy, As I read her message my heart sank. She said that she had been having problems and saw a doctors, thing gradually got worst and she had been admitted in the hospital, I’m on my way. I typed.What room are you in? I asked as I was grabbing my things.ICU she responded and my heart stopped. This is bad, very bad, I phone Naki to be ready, I quickly explained as tears rolled down my cheeks, Naki was crying too, Miss Mandy had always been there for us and now its our turn to be there for her, Alpha Samuel was shocked to hear this news about his sister, he said hed drive us there, and would be here in a few minutes with Naki.“What hospital is she in?” he said wiping tears away.I quickly typed out a response to Miss Mandy, asking her which hospital she was in. My hands were shaking
As we sat around the fire, watching the moon set over the horizon, Storm spoke up, his voice sexy low, and husky. "That was amazing," he signed and spoke so that Emma knew what he was saying too, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I'm so glad we got to experience that together," he said looking at Emma with a smile. She looked puzzled, and I explained to her where we had been. She was super excited and wanted to join us on our next adventure.Rain nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with enthusiasm. "It was definitely one for the books," he signed, grinning. "I got some amazing footage, too." he smiled showing her his phone. After the first video, she was hooked.Ryker smiled, his eyes warm with affection. "We make a good team," he signed, his voice filled with emotion. "We always have each other's backs." She nodded knowing that we were a tight circle, and glad to be a part of it.I nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude and love for my mates. "We do," I said and signed, smiling. "A
As the storm finally began to subside, we pulled over to assess the damage. The Hummer was battered but still intact, and we were all shaken but unharmed. Rain was busy checking his cameras, making sure that he had captured the footage we needed. Blaze was grinning from ear to ear, still pumped up from the adrenaline rush of the storm. Ryker was checking the Hummer's systems, making sure that everything was functioning properly.And Storm, well, Storm was quiet, his eyes fixed on the horizon as he watched the storm dissipate. I knew that look, it was the look of a man who was already planning our next adventure. As we stood there, surveying the aftermath of the storm, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. We had faced down the fury of the storm and come out on top. It was a feeling that I would never get tired of."Alright, let's get moving," Storm signed, breaking the silence. "We've got footage to review and a storm to analyze." We piled back into the Hummer, eager to start re
In the middle of it all Storm rushes to me, grabbing my hand.“Hurry we have to go!”I am being pulled to the hummer and all of my mates are inside, with smiles on their faces. I get in and Blaze buckles my seatbelt, “ Its gonna be a bumpy ride!”“What’s going on?” I asked in all the commotion.“Twister, not far from here!” Storm shouts as we speed off.“We are going to get some great footage!” Rain says as he prepares the cameras that were mounted to the roof of the Hummer.Ryker pulled me in for a kiss, “Are you ready for this?” I smiled the most devious smile that I could muster.. “I love this!”As we sped down the highway, the wind whipping through my hair, I felt a rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins. Storm chasing was not for the faint of heart, but with my mates by my side, I knew we were in for the adventure of a lifetime. The thrill of the unknown, the rush of the storm, it was exhilarating.Rain, our tech expert, was busy checking the cameras mounted to the roof of
I woke up in the middle of the night and had to call Naki.She answered the phone groggy, “Is everything ok?” she asked.“Yes, I know what to name it! It’s perfect!”“Huh?”“The perfume, it just came to me in a dream. ‘Venom’ it stops them in their tracks. They can’t resist it.” I was smiling but Naki was yawning, Yeah, that's great”Naki's yawning turned into a laugh. "Okay, okay, I get it. 'Venom' is the perfect name. Can I go back to sleep now?" I laughed, still feeling the excitement of my midnight epiphany. "Sorry, girl. But I had to share it with you. Get some rest, we've got work to do tomorrow."The next morning, Naki and I met up at our favorite coffee shop, buzzing with energy and ideas. We spent hours brainstorming, and tossing around marketing strategies and packaging designs for our new line of 'Venom perfume’.As we sipped our lattes, Naki's eyes widened with excitement. "I've got it! We'll market it as a luxury brand, with sleek packaging and a sophisticated logo. We'll
Naki called me the next day. “How did it go?” “Well,” I started giggling. “Did you try it too?”“OMG! He was all over me!!” she blushed just thinking about it.“My mates were insanely sexual, They couldn't get enough.”“I’m buying stock!” she laughed.I couldn't help but laugh at Naki's enthusiasm. "I know, right? It's like they couldn't resist us!" still grinning from ear to ear.Naki giggled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I'm serious, though. I'm buying stock in that perfume company. We can market it to shifters and make a fortune!"I laughed, shaking my head. "You're a genius, Naki. But we should probably test it out some more before we start investing." I smiled at the thought of another hot night with my mates.Naki nodded, her expression turning serious. "Good point. We don't want to rush into anything. But I have to say, I'm intrigued by the possibilities. Imagine being able to enhance our natural pheromones and attract our mates on a whole new level..."I felt a shiver
