Walking into my dad's house, the sight of his trusted henchmen were the first to come to view. They smiled at me in greeting and I waved as I closed the door behind me. As always, they were found in the living room discussing whatever boring topic these old men discuss about with cups of Scotch in their hands.
"Hello Marcos. Hello Edward. Have you guys seen my dad?" I asked, hanging up my purse on a nearby hook.
"Good evening Ms. Blaire. Your father is in the kitchen" Marcos replied.
I nodded and walked the familiar path until the sweet aroma of my dad's cooking filled my nostrils. The one con about not living with him anymore is that I don't get to enjoy his cooking every day. Thankfully he has taught me all that he knows but nothing beats his cooking.
"Dad! I'm here!" I called out as I made my entrance into the kitchen. His back was towards me as he whisked together whatever heavenly mixture he has created in a bowl.

Kaia's POV"You've only been here for 24 hours and already you have two she-wolves fighting over you" I scolded, crossing my arms across my chest and glaring daggers at Damon. Ren stood by my side with an equal expression.Damon rolled his eyes and leaned back in his seat in my office. "Luna Kaia, I don't understand what you want me to say" he said."How about you start with an explanation" Ren spat."Before I even start, why is the human speaking like he has authority? Last I check, there was no initiation ceremony to join him with the pack and based on what I've heard you guys haven't completely mated. So technically, you're not my Alpha yet. I'm not even part of the pack yet now that I brought it up so you're not my Luna either" he smirked at us."Do you have a death wish or something asshole?!" Ren yelled, clenching his fists at his sides."You wish you could kill me. You're nothing but a pathetic, puny human. What could

11 years ago...Kaia's POVMy view from the branch displays my target perfectly. I moved carefully to different branches and avoided making obvious noises with the leaves while my eyes focused on the boy below me. He lowered himself to the level of the bushes and with the help of his bare feet, he silently crept like a leopard searching for its prey.His long black hair was twisted into a bun as for it to not get caught by the bushes and low branches of trees. His grey eyes scanned the area mercilessly for me and I smiled victoriously to myself; I finally got him. I stopped right above him and raised myself to my feet. There's nowhere to escape now.I jumped from my branch in a pounce and aimed straig

Present DaySaige's POVPain. Screaming. Groaning. Crying. Silence. What's going on? Where am I? Why do I feel so numb but in such pain at the same time? Why is it so dark?"Kaia?" I called out and immediately regretted it. The small amount of energy brought me more pain and quickly silenced me. The steaming air around me was suffocating and the smoke clouded my vision. I blinked my eyes slowly to adjust and observed my surroundings.When my eyes finally focused, I realized that I'm in a car and the smoke and hot air were coming from the hood of the car that has been crashed against a large tree. What happened? The driver of the car, Raven, she didn't have her seatbelt on; half o

Sitting by the fireplace in Ellis's cabin brought me some sort of comfort. Saige and I were a bundle of nerves the moment we stepped inside and Ellis left us with glasses of wine as she continued to cook. The wine seemed to calmed Saige's anxiety; she paced around the den with her glass in hand as she looked through the photos Ellis has framed.She gasped and grabbed a photo before running towards me. "Look at how adorable this is! We need to ask for a copy and give it to Elios" she gushed and pushed the frame into my chest.I caught it and held it up for a better view. Seeing what the photo held brought a smile to my face. It was Elios and Astrid at her birthday party. He was putting a flower crown he probably made on her head for her and they were smiling at each other. He is such a romantic.

Kaia’s POVMy lungs burned with every step I took. Running this far of a distance is putting a major strain on my stamina. But I have to get to them. I have to warn them and tell them what I saw.The blood. The desperation in her eyes. The look of hope fleeting away the moment she was pinned to the ground right before he ripped her heart out.“I love you” she whispered before the life within her was taken away and she was left as an empty corpse in the grass.I shook my head free of the memory. I can’t let my tears stop me from my new goal ahead. I can grieve later but I need to help Ophelia and Aziel before I have to grieve for more people. Mom would’ve wanted me to.

"What are you doing up? It's 12:30 at night" he asked."I wanted to be the first to tell my brother happy birthday since I couldn't sleep"He chuckled and patted the spot next to him which I gladly accepted. "Mission accomplished" he joked.I smiled and leaned against his arm. I looked up into the starry night with him. The stars appeared so bright out here; there's no light pollution since we're so far

Present DayKaia’s POV“Darling….are you okay?”The sound of my mate’s voice helped in controlling the fire that stirred within me but it still burned with rage. I decided on my path since retrieving all of my memories; all of my real memories. The audacity of my father to make us believe he was the good guy. He wasn’t the miserable widower he made himself out to be. I wonder if that is the reason behind why his wolf lies dormant in his soul. By the grace of the Goddess, he managed to steer off attacks with his own inhuman strength in human form but his wolf refuses to aide him when he lost his mate. They lost their love for each other as people but their wolves craved and ached for each other no matter the circumstance.That is why he is considered disabled

Never to part, baby of mine” I started to sing as I gently rocked Elios in my arms in the living room. He stirred and yawned before snuggling against my breast with his eyes half way open. I chuckled lightly and ran a finger over his cheek. How beautiful is he? “Don’t be like that Elios” I whispered. “Little one, when you play. Don't you mind what they say. Let your eyes sparkle and shine. Never a tear, baby of mine” I heard the wood creak behind me and sweet scent of honey nectar crept in my nostrils and I smiled, “If they knew all about you. They'd end up loving you, too. All those same people who scold you. What they'd give just for the right to hold you” I continued singing even after feeling Ophelia’s arms wrap around my waist and rested her head on my shoulder. “From your head to your toes. You're not much, heaven knows. But you're so precious to me. Sweet a

Four months later….. Saige’s POV Elijah placed a hand on my shaking leg to steady myself and brought his lips close to my ear, “My love relax. We’re just meeting her today. We don’t need to make a decision right away” he assured me. I exhaled deeply and placed a hand over his, “I know but I’ve read her file over and over again and something is pulling me towards her. I’m just afraid that it’ll turn out like those Lifetime movies” I whispered. I gulped as I looked around the small home of our potential surrogate. “You watch too much television. Just relax. Like I said we don’t need to decide today” he repeated just as the petite brunette walked back into the living room with a tray of lemonades for us. “I apologize for the slight mess.

Ren's POV"Please take Hades from me. I would like to speak to your mate in the meantime and Rebekah is too far along to carry a 5-year-old" Ares added sternly to Kaia while sending daggers in my direction. I stirred in my seat.Kaia approached him nervously and held her arms out for the boy to willingly fall into. He stared into her big doe eyes for a few moments before smiling and reaching for her. She lifted him into her arms and I watched him snuggle against her. She supported his weight and turned to Rebekah who smiled fondly at the interaction. I found myself smiling too and thinking about how our kids would be so lucky to have a mother like my darling."Okay Councilwoman. Please follow me" she said and led her out of the ballroom. She sent me some reassurance through our link before exiting the doors. Which calmed my nerves just enough for me not to shit my pants.Ares pointed his head towards the other side of the room, away from

Kaia's POVAs I walked down the stairs with everyone, I took my time analyzing the guests who were arriving. Witches, warlocks, demons, and a few vampires have decided to join us. Everyone dressed according to the theme which brought a smile to my face; flapper dresses, pant suits, fedoras, and even everyone's hair was styled for the part. It also comforted me to know that some of our guests heeded our warning and hid their weapons well under their clothing.My eyes landed on Damon who was greeting everyone at the door. What I would give to take his ass down right now. I can't believe he tricked me and my entire pack into believing this fake persona. If he laid a finger on any of the children, I swear I will make him suffer.Damon looked up the stairs, smiled and waved at us as we approached the main floor. What I wanted to do? Rip his throat out. What I ended up doing? Smiling and waving back. The utter disgust that I felt when doing the action

19 years ago…. Ren’s POV “Ren honey did you hear what Bastian explained?” my mom called to me from the front seat. I turned my head away from the window and looked up into the rear view mirror to see her eyes. I smiled and nodded, “Yes mommy. He said the new park we’re going to has supernaturals and I should be on my best behavior” “That’s right honey. Are you excited?” “Yeah! I get to make new friends!” I exclaimed cheerfully. Bastian smiled at my outburst and turned us into the park’s parking lot. He found a spot quickly and placed the car in park. He took his seatbelt off and turned in his seat to look at me. “Okay Ren time for a pop quiz. Are you ready?” I giggled and nodded, wiggling e

Elios’s POVHow long has it been? Days? Weeks? With the lack of windows, it’s hard to tell when a new day has started and ended. The only way I can tell that time passes if when a servant comes and serves Aziel a large platter of food and only throws us three pieces of bread and half a cup of water throughout the day.The small amount of food and water isn’t enough to help my healing especially since I don’t have a wolf yet. I can only rely on my Lycan blood to fight against the scorching feel of the silver on my wrists and ankles. The metallic mixed with flesh burning stench was all anyone could smell when entering here. With my silver chains, Jax restricted by the blessed chains and Astrid being held captive with iron I’m sure that the atmosphere is more than unpleasant.Speaking of un-pleasantries, Aziel has sa

I know Aziel is upset at us but why take it out on Elios? He’s truly the most innocent one among us. I’m certain that once I open my eyes, I’ll see his beautiful face right next to me. He didn’t get taken away from us. He’s right here. I outstretched my arm in search of his small body. My heart perked up when my hand grabbed onto a small wrist but I couldn’t stop my disappointment when I opened my eyes to find Kaia sleeping beside me in Elios’s bed.I can see the streaks of dried tears on her face and the dark circles under her eyes. It would be best not to wake her now. She’s barely getting enough sleep as it i
