Caleb-
Stepping out of the doorway, I waited for Kyra to enter. She didn’t enter right away, I could see the look of hesitation on her face. After a few moments, she straightened her spine and walked in. Once she was seated on the foot of the bed, I started pacing inside the room.
There wasn’t much in the room, besides a bed, nightstand, and a lamp. The paperwork Nick gave me, was currently scattered over the bed, where I had been going through it. The organization Nick had was terrible. None of the pages had been in the correct order and it was becoming a pain just trying to sort them out.
“What is all this?” Kyra asked, picking up a piece of paper.
“Not right now. If you really want to know, we should start at the beginning.” I said, still pacing in the room.
“Okay. Then tell me what is going on with you. What happened to you after you left?” She asked, setting the paper down.
“First I
Kyra-Hearing everything he was saying, I wasn’t sure what to make out of everything. Knowing he was going through all this alone, made my heartbreak. I wanted to keep interrupting him to ask more questions, but I wanted him to finish telling me.The fact he was never too far from me angered me though. Not because he didn’t tell me, it was because I never knew. If I hadn’t been so wrapped up in my life, would I have gone to find him? I always felt as if he were not too far from me, but I never went searching.While he was going through all of this, I was just going about my life. Granted, I didn’t know but I should have suspected something was wrong. I was starting to feel like it was just as much my fault as it was his that he left me.“Alec came to me and told me that you were going to need me. He wouldn’t tell me why, but I knew I had to return. It didn’t matter how far away I was, you were never a far thought.
Kyra-The temptation to kiss him was placing my mind, body, and heart at war again. I knew I shouldn’t be wanting to kiss him, yet I found myself taking another step forward. The moment I did, Caleb’s eyes darkened, and I could see the way his body stiffened.His gaze lowered to my mouth, which only made my desire to kiss him increase. Slowly, I took one more step forward. It felt like my body was moving on its own. Kissing Caleb was pleasurable, probably more so than it should be.I was just about to take another step forward when I felt the presence of my kids. That was possibly the only thing that stopped me from taking that final step before reaching him. If I would have taken another step, I probably would have kissed him.“Mom?” I heard Kalen yell through the hallway.As if I had been doing something wrong, I jumped back and quickly left the room. Kalen was peaking his head into the room Hunter and I shared, which was
Caleb-For the first time in what felt like a long time, I waited eagerly for the twins to answer. I did think that Kyra needed to spend some quality time with her kids though. Watching them just moments before, I felt that they needed each other more than Kyra needed me.As much as I hated it, I was an outsider to her new family. Okay, it wasn’t exactly new, but it was still new to me. The last thing I wanted to do was try to force my way into their lives as if I belonged.“We would like that actually.” Ryleigh spoke.“Good, then it is settled. You will join us for movie night.” Kyra said, smiling up at me.I wasn’t sure what I was more excited about. Kyra smiling again or being able to do a movie night with them. Over the years, I have spent many nights wishing I could return to the simpler times. When our biggest issue was trying to decide on a movie to watch.“Thank you.” I told the twins.
Kyra-“Stop!” I laughed as Hunter kept tickling me.“Not until you tell me what I want to hear.” Hunter said with a hint of sinister in his voice.“I already told you!” I yelled through my laughter as I squirmed around on the bed.“I want to hear it again.” Hunter said, moving his hands to my inner thighs to tickle me.“You are going to make me pee my pants!” I screamed, trying to pull my legs away from him.“Then say it!” Hunter exclaimed, moving his hands to my sides to continue tickling me.It wasn’t that I didn’t want to tell him, I was just enjoying the moment. Things have been stressful around here since he stepped down as Alpha. He kept himself busy for the most part, but now he had all this free time on his hands.Our children were fully grown, and we have even discussed possibly having another child. Not that I would mind, but so far, w
Kyra-When I woke up, I felt disoriented. I remembered that I had asked Caleb to hold me after I woke up in the middle of the night. Except when I woke up this morning, I was on the couch with a blanket over me. Caleb was nowhere in sight.Sitting up on the couch, I stretched my arms over my head. Oddly enough I felt like I got a good night’s rest. My stomach growled and I debated what I would eat for breakfast, although the moment I thought about food, I had to run to the nearest bathroom as nausea hit me.In the middle of throwing up my supper from last night, I sensed Caleb behind me. I felt him kneel beside me and then his hands pulled my hair back. I felt a slight shock when his fingers brushed up against the back of my neck.It was a familiar shock, but one I marked up to just static electricity. Caleb didn’t say anything, but the care he was showing me made the vomiting process feel just a bit easier. When I finished, I just sat up and
Kyra- “That is the thing. I don’t know.” Mel said, her brows furrowed together. “What do you mean you don’t know?” I asked, moving my legs to dangle off the bed when I sit up. “When I tried to see if I could see anything, my monitor started acting weird. Once I moved the wand away from where the baby is, it would return to normal. I couldn’t get the needle to pierce your skin even. If I had to guess I would suspect the baby is putting a shield around you. Which would make sense, considering that is an ability you have sort of.” Mel said, moving the monitor back to where she got it from. “I can’t shield myself like this.” I told her. “Now, but you can place up a barrier around you or others. It may not be the same thing, but it is similar. I can’t know for sure until I run some more tests. It is just an uneducated guess, being they don’t teach this stuff in med school. Considering who you are though, it is probably my best guess.” Mel said, sit
Kyra-“Did you want to talk to me about something Child?” My mother asked as soon as I closed the door to my art studio.“Dad wasn’t your first mate, was he?” I asked, not entirely sure how to proceed with my question.“No, he wasn’t. I have had many in the years prior to him.” She answered as she walked around the room.“What happened after you lost your first mate?” I asked, sitting down on my office chair.“I was devastated. It took me years to overcome my grief from losing my first mate. But you see, I am not like you when it comes to mates if this is where this is going.” My mother started running her finger along the shelving of where I kept some paintings, as she spoke.“These are wonderful you know. I don’t know if I tell you enough, how proud I am of you. You have a beautiful gift, and I am glad you are able to share it with others.” My mother
Hunter- “What makes you think you can get out of here?” One of the creatures that have been constantly bugging me since I arrived asked. For what felt like months, I have been trying to bend the bars so I can escape. They weren’t budging, but I was bound and determined to get out. I now knew time worked differently here, but it was hard to remember just how different it was. While it felt like months here, only a day has passed where Kyra was. If the fly creatures thought their torcher was bad, they had no idea just how bad it felt to be away from my mate for so long. I kept forgetting what the creatures were called, but when I asked them again, they just got pissed. I’ve come to just call them Shit for Brains One and Two. It kind of seemed fitting. Their intelligence level was extremely low. Not to mention they didn’t follow orders properly. When they had first tortured me, they had been told to not mess with me. That didn’t stop them though,
Thank you everyone for being patient with me these last few months. Now that I have finished this book, I will focus on finishing my other books as quickly as possible that way I can get to work on the last book in the Trilogy. I hope to get it started by august, which will be exactly a year since I started this series. I am so grateful for all of you that have stuck by me and been supportive as I started my writing career. I will begin the third book as quickly as I can, but I will be focusing on one book at a time from here on out so that you don't have to wait endlessly for me to update each book. Please be sure to keep an eye out for the third book that will begin after I finish my other book, Alpha Ryker. The title of the third book in the Trilogy is... Moon Princess's Two Alpha Kings I hope you will all join me in the near future as I share how Kyra, Caleb, and Hunter will overcome the next part of their journey.
Artemis-I was livid, beyond anything I have ever felt before. That bitch thinks she could talk to me like that and get away with it? What was worse was my father was here and grilling me about what I was doing.It wasn’t like he had any proof, since he had found me in my room, that I stayed in when I was back home with him. I had sent another attack on the bitch and her pack before I left, thinking they would be able to handle them. Now I learn they not only failed but my father’s men had killed them all off.I shouldn’t have sent them all, because now I won’t be able to create more of them. The only one I had to blame was the fucking Moon Princess. I guess me whispering sweet promises into others' ears all these years have been for nothing. I should have just killed her when she was a baby.Then none of this would have happened. First, I let a worthless Alpha think I would grant him anything he would ever desire by killing her. Then I had had to resort to dealing with the disgusting
Kyra- We arrived at my mother’s house and the first thing I did was look for Max. At least here I knew we were safe. It wasn’t like Artemis could reach us here, at least I didn’t think so. “Mommy!” Max’s voice rang out as he came running down the stairs. A rush of joy filled me at seeing his little body running toward me. Even in just a brief time, he has become very dear to me, like I have known him his entire life. The best thing was that he acted as if I had been his mother since day one as well. Before Max had a chance to place his little feet on the bottom step, I scooped him into my arms and held him close. My tears came in an instant, and this time I didn’t mind. I was beyond happy to see him and know he was safe. “Hey, my little guy.” I whispered as I buried my face into the crook of his neck. “Are we going home now?” He asked, his voice filled with so much excitement that it made my chest hurt. Allowing the hug to linger just a moment longer, I lowered myself to the flo
Kyra-I was glad we talked, although I knew there was still much to figure out. Hunter was practically a stranger to me now. In theory, he was the same man I fell in love with, but he was different as well.Looking at the two men in front of me, I couldn’t believe my life has come to this. All I wanted to do was hold them close to me always. I still couldn’t wrap my head around Hunter being back just yet either.“Get outside now!” I heard my brother Zac yell urgently from the front door.Not wasting any time, I jumped from the couch just as Hunter and Caleb stood up. Together we ran outside to see what was going on. Just as our feet hit the ground in front of the house, I was thrown forward by a blast that knocked me yards away, flat on my face.My ears started ringing and my head was spinning. I heard a faint yelling coming from somewhere, but I couldn’t make it out over the ringing that was going on in my head. Having been thrown forward onto my stomach, I turned to my side to place
Kyra- Once inside, Caleb, Hunter, and I all sat around the living room. We all kept our distance from one another, which had been my idea so it would allow me to not be distracted by either of them. They both seemed inclined to wait for me to speak, which meant we were currently sitting here in silence. I knew we needed to talk, but I suddenly had no idea what to say. Or rather I didn’t know where to start. It isn’t like it has been very long since Hunter died, so one might think it would be easy to just jump right in. The issue now was the fact he didn’t remember anything about our life together. I needed to figure out how to handle this. It was clear that Caleb was letting me call the shots where Hunter was concerned, yet I didn’t know what to do. “I guess the first thing we need to discuss is what happened. At least what you remember. It would be helpful to know what you know and don’t know.” I spoke after a long drawn out silence. “I have told you some already, but I suppose
Kyra- “This isn’t over.” Artemis’s eyes narrowed on me as if I had suddenly become her enemy. In a way, I guess it wasn’t anything sudden, since it sounds as if she has been gunning for my family for a while now. The only difference now is that I knew about it and I wasn’t going to let her get away with it. I didn’t care how much more powerful she was than I was. Thanks to Darius, I now had full range of my powers, which meant I wasn’t going to back down without giving her everything I had. I knew by the laws of the Gods I couldn’t do much to her, but at the same time, I didn’t care. She came after the ones I loved dearly, and I will be damned if I let her get away with it. If a fight is what she wanted, she would get just that. It seemed as if she was worried about attacking me directly, since she thought it was a good idea to use my first mate to get to Caleb and my mother. It made sense because of the fact that if she was involved directly it would go against the laws set by th
Kyra- It didn’t take long for my father to return, when he did, he looked grim. I was just about to say something to him, but he put his hand up to stop me. His eyes moved between me, Hunter, and Caleb before he returned his attention to me. “What I am about to tell you, you will probably hate me for. Before I begin, I need you to understand it was never my intention to hurt you or anyone. When I had done what I did, I had done so out of anger. When it was no longer an issue though, I had thought nothing of it and completely forgot what I had done.” Zeke spoke, his words giving me this sense that I wasn’t going to like what he had to say. “I am sorry for interrupting, but I should probably add that I did know…” Caleb’s words were cut off when my father interrupted him. “No, what I have to say is not your fault at all. I had asked you to keep it between us because I didn’t want to upset her.” Zeke paused as he took a deep breath and then redirected back to me. “I have been tryin
Kyra-I wished Darius was staying, but I understood his desire not to get mixed up in this war more than he has already been. It would have been nice to get to know him some more though. There was one thing I was completely sure about though, with Hunter, we would stand together and face this new threat, just as Caleb said.“Very well, but I do hope you are making the right choice. When the time is right, I will return to get to know you.” Darius spoke, his eyes harboring a bit of regret. He then turned to Zac and a wide smile appeared on his face. “It is good to see you brother, it has been a long time.”“Yes, it has.” Zac returned his smile and then moved to stand directly in front of Darius. “If I had known…” His voice trailed off as he looked down at the ground.“Don’t think another minute of it.” Darius shook his head and pulled Zac into a brotherly hug. “It probably would have happened to one of us eventually. Artemis will stop at nothing to get to our mother.”“You could have r
Caleb-I wasn’t completely shocked by Hunter being alive, but I was surprised when he showed up. I still remember when Zeke had told me what he had done. I didn’t think it had been possible for Hunter to return like this, yet I couldn’t deny that I was glad he was back.I fully admit that this had put a kink in things, especially where Kyra was concerned. Things were complicated right now, but I would do anything to make her happy. Currently that was keeping this weird-ass creature away from Hunter.As I watched Kyra help Hunter, I felt mixed emotions. The one thing that stood out above all else, was that I was happy to see them like this. With him not remembering this it was different, but the look on Kyra’s face made me feel as if she was now whole.It was like until Hunter arrived, she had been broken inside. I couldn’t wait for this mess to be over with so we could discuss what to do next. First, we needed to do something with these disgusting creatures.“Now, tell me what is goin
