Just then, my phone rang. Alpha Arin's name flashed on the screen."Syla, I've arranged a call with Blaze," he said, his tone softer. "Come to my study."My heart skipped a beat. "Thank you."I almost ran there, he handed me the phone.Blaze's voice filled the line, relief washing over me."Syla, I'm so sorry. I'm trying to clear everything. Don't trust Alpha Arin."Tears streamed down my face. "I won't. What's happening?""They're pushing for a trial. Dad's fighting hard, but...I don't know, Syla. It's getting ugly."My grip on the phone tightened. "Stay strong. We'll get through this."The call ended, leaving me with more questions than answersMiss Mandy and Naki exchanged worried glances."What did he say?" Miss Mandy asked.I shared Blaze's words, my mind racing.We had to escape, but how?That night, I couldn't sleep. Nova's voice whispered I've found a way.My heart skipped a beat. What is it?Alpha Arin's guard rotates every night. We can slip out during the shift change.A gl
Naki handed me a change of clothes. "Ryker's pack has prepared dinner. Let's join them."We walked to the central gathering area, where the pack had set up a feast. Ryker stood at the head, his piercing blue eyes locking onto mine. I felt a flutter, but looked away, unsure how to process our earlier encounter.As we ate, Ryker shared stories of his pack's struggles against the Council. His passion and conviction drew me in.After dinner, Ryker approached me. "Syla, may I speak with you?""Of course."We walked to a secluded area, the night air filled with crickets."I wanted to apologize for earlier," Ryker said, his voice low. "I didn't mean to intrude."I met his gaze. "You didn't. I was surprised, that's all."Ryker's smile returned. "I'm glad you're feeling better. We'll keep you safe."His sincerity put me at ease. "Thank you, Ryker. Your pack's kindness means everything."As we returned to the gathering, I caught Miss Mandy's curious gaze. I subtly shook my head, indicating our
He gently turned me toward him. "Syla, no regrets. We've shared moments, and I've come to care deeply for you."His eyes locked onto mine, the connection was intense."More than gratitude?" I whispered.Ryker nodded. "Much more."Without another word, he leaned in, his lips brushing mine. The kiss ignited a fire within. His lips were soft and sweet, As we broke apart, gasping for air, Ryker smiled. "I've wanted that for a while."I didn't know what to say, I just lowered my head.We swam closer, our bodies touching, the lake's tranquility surrounding us."Flame's father..." Ryker began."Blaze," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Ryker's expression turned serious. "We'll protect Flame, and you. Together."At the mention of Blaze's name, my thoughts flew to him and what we had. I was scared that I'd never see him again.As night fell, we returned to the pack, making sure we were far apart. We didn't need more rumors.Miss Mandy and Naki watched me as I went to my bed, "Everythin
As morning dawned, Ryker's gentle wake-up call roused me. "Syla, sunrise. We should move."I stretched, Flame stirring in my arms. "Good morning."Ryker smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Sleep well?"I nodded, recalling the whispered goodnight. "Someone's a romantic."Ryker's chuckle warmed my heart. "Guilty."We broke camp, continuing our journey. Flame giggled at Ryker's playful antics, easing tensions.At dusk, we reached the second cave. This one was much bigger and more secluded, "I think we good here for a while." he announced then quickly helped me set up our things, as the days passed he built us a bed, our area was way back at the end of the cave, he put up privacy curtains so I could change and nurse in private, but mostly so he could sneak in at night and cuddle with us. Then his beta burst in, They are on our borders we must go now! We all quickly grabbed our things and ran, Alpha Ryker knew I could not shift and run because of my baby, He stayed with us as we ran, "They will
Panicked, Naki and Miss Mandy frantically searched the deserted campsite."This can't be happening!" Miss Mandy exclaimed, tugging at the silver restraints. Naki's eyes welled up with tears. "Alpha Ryker's gone rogue. He's taken Syla and Flame."Meanwhile, Blaze's journey to reunite with Syla was met with an eerie silence.*Syla, please respond!* Still, no answer. Unease crept in. Something was wrong.Erebus's trackers closed in on Alpha Ryker's hidden location. Jake reported back, "Alpha Ryker's settlement is heavily guarded." Erebus's eyes narrowed. "stay back and keep watching report any changes."As night fell, Naki and Miss Mandy huddled together,"We must find Syla," Naki whispered.Miss Mandy's resolve strengthened. "We will , and bring her back home."Then they heard pounding paws on the ground It was Blaze, Storm and Rain! "Where is Syla?" he demanded, Relief washed over Naki and Miss Mandy as they embraced Blaze, Storm, and Rain."We were left behind, restrained," Naki expl
Erebus's sinister plan unfolded, fueling Blaze's anguish.Jake snapped photos of Syla, Ryker, and Flame, capturing moments of tender deception. Erebus gloated, imagining Blaze's devastation. "These images will shatter his resolve."Meanwhile, Blaze's despair deepened. "I've lost her," he whispered, surrounded by memories. Storm and Rain struggled to keep their brother's hope alive."We'll find her, Blaze. Syla's still our mate," Storm insisted.Blaze's eyes, once bright, now dimmed. "Ryker's won. She's gone."As Erebus's scheme progressed, Syla remained oblivious, living a fragile illusion.****Ryker's protective instincts shielded me from the truth, his feelings genuine. but his tactics were cruel."I'll always safeguard you, Syla," he vowed, his love unrequited.Flame thrived, bonding with Ryker, her tiny heart unaware of the complexities. His Pack's acceptance enveloped us, a temporary sanctuary.Yet, Blaze's love persisted, a beacon in the darkness.I went about my daily tasks as
The next night after putting Flame to bed, I grabbed my clothes and headed to the lake, determined to find answers.Ryker was busy with his men as I slipped away. I sat there skating as I reached for my hidden phone, I quickly typed a message to Naki, I knew she wouldn't lie to me. "Why did Blaze take a new mate? How could he just go on with his life and forget about me?" I pressed send. my whole body was shaking tears flowed down my face as I waited.. washing my feet in the water.*****Naki's phone beeped and they all rushed to her to see, it was from Slya! but when they read the message Their hearts sank, they all turned to Blaze, "I'm going to fucking kill him! He's deceiving her! He wants her for himself! Blaze growled so loud the neighboring packs heard him."Naki hurry type back and tell her the truth, she needs to know not to trust him!" Storm stood watching her as she typed."What are you saying? You are his ONLY mate!, He's worried sick about you, we are all trying hard to
That morning I woke and fed Flame, I watched them all go about their chores as I did mine, I could not wait for the evening to come, It was my only connection to my mates, family, and my Home!Ryker came in several times and he smiled at me. I smiled back not wanting to make him suspicious. I had feelings for Ryker, but I loved my Mates! and I wanted to go home.I was making our makeshift bed when Nova asked.*What about the Counsil, will they still try to kill Flame?*My heart stopped! Goddess no, I can't go back, my baby! I won't risk her life, all my hopes faded and I became depressed.As night descended, my hopes slowly faded away.. I fell asleep with Flame in my arms.I didn't even bathe that night...****They all waited for a message from me, but none came."Why hasn't she messaged us?" Blaze whispered. His whole body shook as he held tight to his phone, his only link to her."I need to check in on Dad," Rain said as he got up and left the room, He wiped his tears away as he w
I went downstairs to have breakfast with my children, as I sat they all told me ' Good Morning, Mom.I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart as I looked at my grown children. "Good morning, my loves," I replied, hugging each of them tightly. We sat down to eat, and the conversation turned to Flame's upcoming departure for college. She was excited but also a little nervous, and I could sense the mix of emotions in her.I reached out and put my hand on hers, offering her a reassuring smile. "You're going to do great, sweetie," I said. "You're growing up and spreading your wings. I couldn't be prouder of you." Besides she wasn’t going far only 30 minutes away. Jasper and the twins nodded in agreement, their faces filled with excitement for their sister's new adventure. We chatted and laughed together, enjoying our breakfast and each other's company. As we finished up, I looked around the table at my children, feeling grateful for this moment of peace and happiness. I had the staff cook al
As I stood there, basking in the love and support of my pack, I felt a sense of pride and gratitude. Alpha Lukerian's announcement had been a formality, as he had already declared me his Luna in front of our pack.I looked around at the faces of my pack members, seeing the joy and celebration in their eyes. My mates, Blaze, Ryker, Storm, and Rain, stood by my side, their love and pride radiating from them. Jasper and the rest of our family beamed with pride, happy to see me in my new role.As we celebrated, I knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in our pack's history. I was ready to serve our pack with all my heart, and I knew that I had the love and support of my pack behind me. Ryker moved his chair closer to mine, as he spoke with Alpha Lukarien. His fingers slipped down my inner thigh, and his son was rubbing my clit. I moaned softly, and all my mates turned their heads to me, grinning. He leaned in to whisper in my ear as he slipped two fingers in me, “I want to
I held him tight as we climbed in my Hummer that Alpha and Mom had brought. Thorn was driving using his magic to get us through.As we managed to get back to our pack's territory, Jasper couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Leaving Dynaris and the City of Dragons behind was bittersweet, and He knew his mom was feeling it too. Jasper, sensing my emotions, moved closer to me. "Hey, Mom, you ok?" he asked, his voice soft and concerned.I smiled, trying to reassure him. "I'm fine, sweetie. Just a little emotional, that's all." Jasper nodded understandingly. "I know it's hard to leave us and the city behind," he said. "But we'll visit often, and we'll stay connected I promise. And who knows, maybe one day we'll have a reason to move back to the city." The thought of that, made me smile, Flame held me tight she too would miss her brothers.As we drove on, the wind rushing past us, Jasper stayed close, offering me comfort and reassurance. I felt grateful for his presence, and I knew th
As I stood there, surrounded by my family and the newly restored City of Dragons, I felt a deep sense of pride and accomplishment. The prophecy had been fulfilled, and our pack had played a crucial role in bringing light and freedom back to this magnificent city.I watched as Dynaris, now Queen Dynaris, sat on her throne, her mates by her side. Jasper, Conor, River, and Kaden, each representing a unique aspect of her heart, are seated proudly beside her, and their bond and love for each other are proudly displayed.The four smaller thrones, now formed, had risen from the floor and seemed to symbolize the unity and balance that our pack and the dragons had achieved. The City of Dragons, once a place of darkness and fear, was now a beacon of hope and harmony.As I looked around, I knew that our pack and the dragons were merging, My grandchildren would become a new hybrid pack that would thrive under the leadership of Queen Dynaris and her mates. The air was filled with laughter and musi
As Khaos's lifeless body slumped to the ground, the dark energy dissipating from his form, I felt a mix of relief and shock at the sudden turn of events. My boys, Ronan and Dynaris, stood victorious, their chests heaving with exhaustion as they gazed down at their vanquished foe. Everything seemed to stand still as if the timeline was shifting, making room for a new birth.Dynaris turned to me, her eyes gleaming with fierce pride. "It is done," she said, her voice low and husky. "The Dark Lord Khaos is no more."Ronan nodded in agreement, his gaze still fixed on Khaos's lifeless burnt form. "The throne is ours once more," he said, his voice firm. "We have reclaimed it, and none shall take it from us again." he did a slow bow to his granddaughter, who is now Queen Dynaris, The sleeping Dragon who we first met, stepped forward, placing a crown upon her head. "I crown thee 'Queen Dynaris' rightful heir to the City of Dragons," She watched in amazement as the miracle of the prophecy happe
As we stepped through the portal, we found ourselves in a vast, cavernous space filled with glittering crystals and strange, glowing plants. The air was thick with pulsating energy, and we could feel the power of the ancient dragon throne pulsing through the air. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows - a towering, omnipotent being known as the Celestial Architect, with skin that shimmered like the stars and wings that seemed to be crafted from the very fabric of reality. "Welcome, Dynaris," the Celestial Architect said, its voice like the music of the spheres. "I have been waiting for you. I am the guardian of the ancient dragon throne, and the keeper of the secrets of the universe." The Celestial Architect regarded us with a piercing gaze, then nodded its great head. "You have passed the trials and proven your worth. Now, you must face the final challenge: to claim the throne and unlock its secrets." With that, the Celestial Architect stepped aside, revealing a glittering thro
Before we started our journey, Ronan handed each of us a small, intricately carved stone. "These are ancient relics," he explained. "They will guide us on our quest and protect us from harm." We took the stones, feeling a surge of energy and determination flow through us. Dynaris, with her dragon senses, took the lead, guiding us through the winding paths and dense forests that lay ahead. As we walked, the trees grew taller and the air grew thick with otherworldly energy. We could feel the power of the ancient dragon throne calling to us, drawing us closer with every step. We walked through what seemed like solid mountain boulders. It was all illusions, then we came upon a cave, behind a majestic waterfall, she moved to the edge and disappeared behind it, we all followed her. When our eyes adjusted we saw a hidden room and a long cavern. We soon reached a sleeping dragon, he was enormous.Dynaris approached the sleeping dragon, her footsteps echoing off the cavern walls. As she drew c
Dynaris's dragon form began to move, walking forward her wings beating the air as she lifted off the ground. She soared above us, her scales glinting in the sunlight as she performed a series of intricate aerial maneuvers. Ronan watched her with a proud smile, his eyes shining with delight. "She's awesome," he said, his voice filled with pride. "Just like her mother was." As Dynaris continued to soar above us, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe. Her dragon form was truly magnificent, a testament to her strength and power. And as I watched her, I knew that I would do anything to protect her, to keep her safe from harm. After a few hours of flying, flanking Ronan, Dynaris gently descended back to the ground, her wings beating slowly as she came to a stop in front of us. She shifted back into her human form, and the boys and I couldn't help but stare at her in awe. She smiled at us, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "What?" she asked, her voice teasing. "You've never see
As the paralysis took hold, Astris's eyes widened in shock and anger, her gaze locked on mine with a fierce intensity. She tried to speak, but her voice was barely a whisper, and I knew that my venom was doing its job. My mates stood around me, their faces set in determined expressions, as they secured Astris with the silver handcuffs. I could feel a sense of satisfaction and relief wash over me, knowing that we had prevented Astris from rescuing her sister. But as I looked into Astris's eyes, I saw something there that gave me pause. A deep-seated hatred and resentment, a burning desire for revenge. I knew that this wasn't the end of the story, not by a long shot. Astris would stop at nothing to free her sister, and we would have to be vigilant to prevent it from happening. I turned to my mates, my voice low and serious. "We need to make sure that Astris is secure, that she can't escape or communicate with Astrid in any way." Conor nodded, his eyes locked on Astris's paralyzed form.
