Kyra-

“Then you know why I am here.” I slowly turned to face Hades.

“I do, but I won't give you what you want.” Hades’s jaw twitched, but his features weren’t expressive of emotion.

“Why can you all leave us alone? We haven’t done anything to anyone. All we want is to live a peaceful life or at least as close as we can get.” My voice rose slightly, but I remained calm.

I was starting to regret learning who I was. If I could go back and start over, even if I had to give up the family I currently had, I don’t think I would want anything to do with Gods. If anything, I wish I could go back in time and stop my father from making a deal with Artemis.

It seems like it has been one disaster after another since then, and I wasn’t going against other werewolves or even Lycans. I was going against the Greek Gods. I might be part God, but this was going above and beyond my abilities.

“I am doing this for your own good, as well as Caleb’s. If you knew the truth, you would understand.”

    Kyra-“First, let me explain that Caleb’s name is originally Zatyx. He was one of Cronus’s children and had the closest relationship with Hades. When…” Persephone began, but I held up my hand and cut her off.“If he was Cronus’s child, why haven’t I heard of him?”“You’ll know when I get to that part.” Persephone pulled my hand back into hers. “When Cronus was overthrown, Zatyx decided he wanted nothing to do with the issues in the family. He decided to live an ordinary life and become a farmer and trained warriors.”My eyes drifted as I tried to imagine the life Persephone talked about.“He lived many years living a peaceful life. Many people admired him, and instead of keeping the crops for himself, he offered them to others who were struggling. One day, while delivering goods to help a family, he came across a female who was running away from home. Her family was trying to sell her to someone twice her age so their son could buy a house for his new family. That woman was you.”My e

    Kyra-I watched as Hades and Persephone’s eyes slowly widened. “It might work.” They muttered as their gaze turned to me.“If Hunter can deal with her, the contract will be settled once the curse is broken. However, if the curse isn’t broken, I keep the contract.” Hades spoke.“I don’t agree. If the curse isn’t broken, I still want you to end the contract.” Persephone told Hades.“That won’t happen.” Hades shook his head. “If Caleb dies, he will come to Tartarus until the curse is lifted.” His eyes focused on me. “The only way I will agree to release him is if the curse is broken. I won’t watch my brother go through the same pain any longer. Considering your life cycle this time, you can figure out how to break the curse and keep yourself alive in the meantime. Only your death will restart the cycle.”I thought about it for a while and wondered what the chances were that killing the Goddess who created the curse would break it. I understood where Hades was coming from, but the idea of

    Kyra-Instead of returning home to tell everyone about what I learned, I stayed with my mother and the children for a few more days. Until Hunter returned, there wasn’t much that could be done. I also thought I could get more answers from my mother than from the library.After two days, though, I didn’t get any helpful information. On a side note, I was able to relax and bond with my children. I learned that Ryleigh and Cosmo were very much in love and had significantly progressed in their relationship. After everything was over, they wanted to get married, which had been the highlight of my visit.I was also able to let go of the self-doubt crawling through my mind. After everything I had encountered, I realized I needed to trust myself and those around me more. If we can overcome everything we have, dealing with the rest shouldn’t be impossible. There was no need to keep myself locked in the library all the time to find answers.I’ve come to understand that I wasn’t doing anyone any

    Kyra-Hunter was the first to rush out, but I was quick to follow. I wasn’t sure why she came, but I had a feeling it was because she figured out Hunter had returned to Purgatory. Standing a few yards from the porch, she was alone, with her arms crossed over her breast.“Give it back.” Artemis demanded, her eyes practically burning with rage as she glared at Hunter.“Give what back?” Hunter asked as he extended his arm to prevent me from moving past him.“You know damn well what I am talking about.” Artemis’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t think I didn’t sense you when I returned. I thought you had come to your senses and returned to me until I heard from one of my pets that you hold the Scepter.”“What Scepter?” Hunter feigned ignorance.“Don’t play games with me. We both know what I am talking about. Give me the Scepter or else.” Artemis stepped forward but froze when Xureus walked past us and toward her. “What are you doing here?” She seemed startled by Xureus’s presence.“I should be askin

    Kyra-I wanted him to tell me what he meant by his words, but he wouldn’t wake up no matter how much I tried to wake him. At a loss for what to do, I looked up at our mother standing nearby with tears in her eyes. I was about to ask her to do something, but a man suddenly appeared beside her.I didn’t know who he was, but he seemed oddly familiar. He almost looked like an older version of Xureus. Without saying a word, the man knelt beside Xureus, placing a hand on his shoulder. Blinking away the tears in my eyes, I looked at the man and realized he was a God.I remember seeing paintings of him in the books I studied, as well as a picture of him where my mother lived. I didn’t know his name, but I had a suspicion that he was Xureus’s father. Pain etched on his face as he looked at Xureus, along with a hint of guilt.“After I am done, help them forget.” The man spoke.“Done with what?” My mother asked.“Although I couldn’t be there for him while he grew up, I should at least do somethi

    Caleb-Over the duration of a week, everyone was on edge. Kyra was the worst, as she was worried about Hunter, who had yet to return. She worried about Artemis, who was nowhere to be found and hadn’t made another move. She was also hovering over me.Since I heard about our previous lives and that I was the son of Cronus and not a descendant, my mind has been going through a whirlwind. It was bad enough that I have spent hundreds of years battling inner demons. I finally thought I had a handle on things, but now it was worse.Everything I thought I knew about my life has become a lie. My parents were my parents, and apparently, I wasn’t a werewolf either. Xureus explained that I was Cronus's only child who could shift into any animal, and I had control over time, just as my father had. The only difference was that I never mastered it. At most, I could reset time within myself, which is how I reversed my life.My mind was a complete disaster as I thought about everything and tried to di

    Kyra-“Now that that is settled, we still need to figure out how to deal with Artemis.” I leaned against Caleb’s desk as he sat in his chair again. “Now that you remember your past, do you know of a way to deal with Artemis?”I couldn’t help but notice that Caleb seemed more calm than usual. It was almost as if he was a different person. I didn’t know if it had to do with him having his memory back, but now he seemed more solid as if he wasn’t taking the threat of Artemis seriously anymore.“I never directly dealt with her. I could think of one person that could possibly help, but honestly, I doubt he will get involved.”“Who did you have in mind?” I asked.“Apollo.” Caleb leaned back in his chair and folded his hand over his stomach. “I doubt that he will help, though. Even if Apollo and Artemis dislike each other, they are still siblings. He has protected his sister on a few occasions, of which I am aware.”“Then we need to find someone else. He might refuse to help us and warn Arte

    Kyra-Without saying anything, Caleb pulled me toward him, causing me to lose my balance and fall onto his lap. I sucked in a breath as he grabbed me by the back of the neck and forced my head toward his. The instant his mouth covered mine, an explosion of heat and pleasure surged through me.This wasn’t the first time we had kissed, but this kiss was different. It was needy and passionate. I could feel his emotions flowing into me. The kiss took my breath away. I didn’t pull away, but I wasn’t sure how to respond. It was as if he had suddenly become possessed and was eager to devour me.“It feels like I haven’t kissed you in forever.” Caleb murmured against my lips.I didn’t get a chance to reply because he didn’t allow me a chance to even catch my breath. I wasn’t entirely sure what came over him, but I had a feeling it had to do with his memories of the past. Not that it really mattered.The way he kissed me made my toes curl and my insides melt until my body was demanding more. Ho

    Kyra-“Kyra?” Tristan’s voice came from the other side of the door to my cell.I had fallen asleep in the corner, but I quickly became alert. Pushing up from the corner I had curled up in, I jumped to my feet and rushed toward the door. Tristan was standing on the other side, peeking through the small window in the door, blocked by thick glass.“I am here.” I whispered.A second later, I heard the sound of rattling keys as he stuck a key into the door. I held my breath as I waited for the sound of the lock releasing. When it did, and Tristan opened the door, I flung myself into his arms.“I’m sorry I am late.” Tristan returned my hug briefly before stepping back to let me out of the cell.After I was out, he pulled a small spray bottle from his pocket and sprayed me with it. “This will mask your scent so no one knows what direction you went. I also sprayed myself.” Tristan handed me the bottle, which I slipped into the front pocket of my jeans. “Let’s get you out of here.”Nodding my

    Kyra-Over the following three days, I didn’t leave my hospital room. Tristan took care of everything I needed and took care of me around the clock. On the few occasions he went to investigate our situation, he didn’t have anything to report.My wound wasn’t fully healed, but it was healed enough that I didn’t have any reason to stay in the hospital. At the moment, Tristan was gone, handling my discharge paperwork. I was looking forward to leaving the hospital, mostly so I didn’t have to listen to the nurses gossiping outside my door.I was fairly sure that they were doing it intentionally because their topics always revolved around me and how it wouldn’t be long until I was kicked out on my ass again. Tristan tried to defend me a few times, but Hunter punished him each time he did. Hunter’s reasoning was that rogues shouldn’t be protected.The more time I spent around the gossip or hearing about Hunter, the more heartbroken I became. As I was waiting for Tristan to return, I sat on m

    Kyra-“Ready?” Hunter asked as I stepped out of the room.“I guess.” I diverted my gaze from his.Pretending I didn’t know him would be more challenging than I thought. When I first stepped out of the room and saw him waiting for me, I had almost forgotten where I was for a moment. The way his eyes wandered over my body as if he was tempted to take me into the room and have his way with my body.“Have you eaten anything since you woke up?”“Not yet.” I shook my head.“Let’s go to a restaurant.” His tone was more like an order than a request.Keeping my attention on the floor, I walked alongside him. Thankfully, he didn’t say anything all the way to the restaurant. When we arrived, I felt everyone’s attention was on me.The restaurant was packed with people, and I knew them all. Some were from before Hunter returned from the dead. Others were new members from after we moved into my father's house, and Caleb took over as Alpha King.“Are they here?” Hunter asked the waitress who was gui

    Kyra-Peeking through my lashes, I noticed they both left. Exhaling a slow and long breath, I opened my eyes and sat up. Staring at the door, I wondered how I was going to pull this off. This situation was different from what happened in the past, but there are a lot of similarities.If someone was pulling the strings here, I needed to be careful and not slip up. For now, I will remain in the hospital so I can heal. Without my abilities, I might not heal quickly. After I did heal, I would pretend to be weary and try my best to keep up with the pretense that I was once again the scared seventeen-year-old who didn’t trust anyone.Chewing on my lower lip, I tried to make a plan. I devised a few different plans, but each one didn’t seem feasible. It slowly dawned on me that I wouldn’t be able to plan anything. Until I knew who my enemy was, I would need to be flexible and play it by ear.“Kyra?” A familiar voice spoke inside my head, which filled me with excitement.“Tristan!” I answered.

    Kyra-My head felt like I was run over by a truck. With a groan, I covered my head with my hands and applied pressure to attempt to relieve the pain. Opening my eyes, I sat up and blinked a few times to clear my vision.“Where am I?” I asked as I looked around at a room I recognized but couldn’t remember where I saw it.Glancing around the room, I noticed it was a hospital room. My mind was a little foggy as I tried to remember what happened to me. Bits and pieces of memories flooded my head, but not enough to clarify anything.As I continued to look around the room, I was suddenly hit with a feeling of DeJa’Vu. I didn’t know why because my memories were a jumbled mess. Frowning, I pushed off the covers and winced from pain. Lifting the shirt I was wearing, I noticed a long wound on my side. It stretched from my rib cage down to my hip.I couldn’t remember how I got it. Spotting a mirror on the wall, I walked over to it to examine the wound closer. The wound was sewn together, with the

    Kyra-“Did you enjoy your weekend?” Hunter asked the moment I entered the door.“I did.” I smiled when Hunter grabbed my suitcase and handed it to a maid.“Take that up to her room.” Hunter instructed the maid.After the maid left, Hunter pulled me into the house, toward the living room. When he sat me on the couch and knelt before me, pulling off my shoes, I felt a little embarrassed. This wasn’t the first time he had pampered me like this, but Tristan, Rex, and Caleb were in the room.“Samantha went home. Why aren’t you home?” I asked Rex as Caleb moved to sit beside me on the couch.“We were discussing a new training course we want to try. Not only will we implement it here, but I will travel to other packs to train them as well.” Rex answered.While Hunter continued pulling off my shoes, Caleb tucked me under his arm, forcing me to lean against him. “We weren’t sure when you two would return.” Caleb spoke.“I sent Samantha a text a bit ago, so she knows where I am at.” Rex leaned

    Kyra-“We both agreed that the final decision would be up to you. Although neither of us would be able to walk away, we also wouldn’t pressure you or influence your decision. We wanted to respect your choice.” Caleb answered.“After discussing it, we decided that if you did choose one of us, the other would walk away completely. Not disappear from your life like Caleb had, but we would move away to give the other space and to find a way to move on with our lives.” Hunter added.“We had hoped that after some time, you would be able to accept both of us. Since we are best friends, we decided that we could accept sharing you with each other. Besides, I don’t know how it's possible, but other than initially feeling jealous, I don’t feel any discomfort when you kiss Hunter.”“Are you sure?” My gaze moved between both men.“Absolutely.” Caleb nodded. “Neither of us wants to lose you.”I wasn’t sure how I felt about this, but the weight in my heart disappeared. “What about the sleeping arran

    Kyra-A month after having Artemis locked up in Purgatory, I still couldn’t let go of my uneasiness. Everything seemed to be safe and relatively standard, but something felt off. I wasn’t sure if it was because things had finally calmed down or if it was something else.Everyone has tried to return to their lives. My brothers have all left except for Rex and Tristan. My father has gone to spend time with my mother. The younger children have returned home and are bringing joy to everyone around them. My life now almost seemed a little too good to be true.There was only one thing left to do. Maybe after that, I will feel a little better about everything. Since the children were down for a nap, I decided that it was time to talk to Caleb and Hunter about the situation between us. I haven’t come to a conclusion about anything, but maybe I will after I speak to them.Walking through the house from the children’s room, I went to find Caleb and Hunter. As expected, I found Caleb in his offi

    Hunter- “Caleb!” I yelled as I rushed forward, no longer caring about concealing myself. As I ran toward them, time seemed to slow down. I didn’t know if my eyes were playing tricks on me, but it looked as if Caleb was moving slowly while the others were frozen. Nyx and Achilles had their mouths open as they reached out. Artemis was baring her teeth as she was inches away from piercing Caleb’s heart. Caleb’s hands wrapped around Artemis’s wrists, deflecting her from inching forward. As I reached them, I grabbed the knife from Artemis. Once the weapon was stashed in the realm, I kept my other weapons, and everyone except for Artemis returned to normal. “That was close.” Caleb gasped as he released Artemis and stepped back. “You don’t need to tell me that.” I groaned as I thought about how close Caleb came to dying. “You’re an idiot for putting yourself in front of a blade.” “I would have been fine. It wouldn’t be the first time I have been stabbed.” Caleb shrugged. “No, but it wi
