EMMA I had been banished from cleaning up because apparently my guys would have been skinned alive if they let me. Well then, I would happily leave it to them. I basked in their positive emotions that were sweet and wrapped me in their warmth. However, that same question was still nagging at me. Why did Ezekiel keep them alive? I excused myself and wandered down to the War Room. During the questioning of the traitors, Damien showed me how to access Ezekiel’s other private server, so I decided to check there first. There was no end to the horrors that he documented. I would take my time and comb through them all later on. Perhaps Damien would like to join me with it. We both felt the need to cleanse this world of Ezekiel’s stain. This could be a first step to that. After spending fifteen minutes looking around blindly, I found a file marked Blood Alpha. It was damn near a neon sign pointing me in the right direction, so I began reading through the reports. He spent decades research

EMMA I nodded and walked over to take the babe from her arms. She watched every movement I made as if I was going to attack her. There was no telling what she had been through since Ezekiel was involved. I stepped back and peered down at Xander’s baby brother. Oh, he was such a handsome babe. He had copper eyes just like his big brother and a full head of hair. His mouth was sucking hard on a binkie, and his eyes were locked onto mine. “Tell the truth. Were you willingly working with Ezekiel?” Papa asked her as I stepped over towards the crib. “Absolutely not. He killed our pack. Only me and Suzie were kept to watch over the pups. I swear that we tried to fight against his commands so that we could get help, but we were powerless. Please believe me,” she pleaded with Papa. Papa looked to me for my opinion. He wanted to know what I felt we should do with her and Suzie because this directly involved my family. He was also looking to me as a leader. I did believe her because she was

KAI “Doll. Stay with me. Can you hear me? Doll,” I shouted, trying to get her to focus on me. Her eyes glossed over, and her breathing grew shallow. I got the veins to recede like normal, but she was not responding to me. I even tried striking her face to snap her back, but it did nothing. My Doll was not responding. “Save her, Zane. Please save her,” I begged him as I held my unconscious mate in my arms. True panic and fear were what we all felt right now. I could see it as clearly in his eyes and face as it was in mine and Xander’s. I did not have the heart to look around because I knew the same would be etched on each face. Even our parents and Ethan’s parents had already grown attached to her because they could see how happy she made us. They were impressed as we took turns telling them all about her. Seeing how she took care of everything this morning reminded me how lucky we were to have her as our Luna. Doll was perfect to us and for us. Zane’s eyes glazed over as he sent o
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 171
EMMA The last thing I remembered was Handsome saying something before it all went black. Well, that was until I opened my eyes mere seconds ago and was in my old house at Blacktree. I had not seen this place since the night of Olly’s. It looked very different now. Everything was darker and a deathly silence filled the air. It felt off. It felt wrong. How was I even here? I trailed my fingers along the railing as I walked up the stairs. Not a speck of dust despite the fact that Brenda had not been here. Odd. I was not entirely certain what was going on, and that made me understandably anxious and worried. My bedroom door was slightly ajar. It opened to reveal a child laying on the bed crying. I moved closer, drawn inexplicably to the child. But the child did not seem to even notice me. I reached out a comforting hand but felt a huge shock the moment I touched with the child. There was no longer a child crying on the bed because it was me crying on the bed. The bedroom door banged a
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 172
XANDER Amaris looked at me and gestured for me to follow her. I recognized Ezekiel’s voice instantly, so I was afraid of what I was about to witness. Death was too good for the bastard. I wanted him to rot in that cell for centuries without any reprieve. Zane explained that they did not lift his command to not move or talk, and I doubted that Zane or Emma would do that any time soon. We entered her bedroom where Ezekiel was standing over a very much younger Emma. She looked like she could not be any older than nine or so. It must have been right after he took over the pack. “I won’t say Papa was a traitor because he wasn’t a traitor,” Emma said as she glared up at him, unflinching despite the angry Alpha aura rolling off him. He crouched down in front of her and sneered at her. There was a sick and twisted gleam in his eye at her challenge. Both she and Freya said that she never submitted no matter what they tried to or actually did to her. “Good because what I have in store for y
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 173
KAI “Talk to me,” I said softly to Xander. He had not spoken since he woke up from the trip into our mate’s mind except to whisper things to her about her incredible strength and how proud he was of her. He looked broken, and I had never seen him broken before. Not like this. He held onto our mate as he whispered words of affirmation to her. Whatever he saw had to have been devastating. He kissed her forehead and his mark before looking at me. “Ezekiel will die a very slow death. The first memory was not long after Ezekiel took over. She refused to tell the pack that Zane was a traitor. She stood up to him with so much fucking strength and determination that I never imagined was even possible. He swore that he would have fun breaking her and threw her with his full strength across the room where her spine collided with a desk. Yet, she repeated a mantra that she would not bow and would not break. Then the death of Millie where she got mauled by a fucking wolf and held down as they
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 174
EMMA It was finished. I never had to revisit the trip into the chaos that was my mind again like that. My mind was a place where nightmares loved to play. Many of those nightmares were actually just memories. People filtered in and out of the room for the past hour or so. They wanted to make sure that I was okay, so I did not say anything about it because I knew that they were fairly scared about the whole ordeal. My mates had been quiet since I woke up, but they had not left my side once. They both acted like they were afraid that I would disappear if they were not right beside me. I could not blame them at all. What we went through was a narrow escape. I did not ask about anything yet, but I would eventually. I knew that they had been in my mind, but I was not certain what all they saw. I really hoped it was not everything that I had to witness as well because that was a lot of horrible bullshit that I never wanted them to witness. Especially not the cells. Oh well. There was no g
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 175
EMMA It was amazing to have everyone together again. We were still at the castle since Macario insisted that I needed a little more observation. I figured it was more likely because he had been terrified of losing me, so he was just being overly cautious now. Nobody knew if I was going to pull through or not, so I could not fault anyone for being cautious. The black magic was completely gone from my body, and every single person of ours has now been warded against black magic. There was still a lot to do in the pack, but we were able to take some time here before we would head back there. We had not discussed reintroducing our family just yet because none of us wanted to put additional pressure on them. It would be something we needed to sit down and talk about soon though just so we are all on the same page with everything. I was getting to know everyone better. Jackson and Lilli were exactly like my boys told me they were. Lilli definitely fell in love with the Leflore Gardens, ju

EMMA I went into labor during the middle of the night, and it scared the living shit out of my mates. It was adorable while also being a little comical. Most soon-to-be fathers were like that. We had everything ready because we knew it was possible to go into labor a little earlier than expected because of having twins. Oddly enough, this pregnancy had no true complications. Most shifters who had multiples typically had complications. However, I was thankful that everything had gone as smoothly as possible. The sigils truly helped with the pain of the delivery because it would have been torture otherwise. I felt horrible that I did not already have these on hand for when Bellamy was born. “You have this, Emma. One more push and your baby boy will be here,” Tilly said. It had been ten very long hours of labor, but it would be worth it in the end. Kai was sitting behind me, lending me strength during this time. He had a hold of one leg while Xander had a hold of the other. The thre

EMMA It was still very surreal to think that I had been in Tylaphina’s realm for six entire months. However, I was able to bring back messages to Papa and Leonidas from our family. They were amazed as I told them about spending time with everyone. Their parents wanted me to tell them how incredibly proud they were of them both. They were proud of Papa for being the King that our people needed. They watched as he transitioned to the ruler of Aedrul and were thankful for how he protected everyone that he could from Selene until she could be taken care of permanently. They were proud of Leonidas for everything he did to help Papa rune Aedrul. His strength and perseverance made the entire Venscothi line puff out their chests in appreciation and admiration. My mates and I wasted no time in completing our bond in wolf form as well as completing the Goddess of Fate ceremony. It was very intimate and quite pleasurable. It was interesting to say the least because we watched as our souls mom
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 207
EMMA The pain from Asry’s shards slicing through me disappeared. Had I died? Nae did not say that was a possibility, but even she could not see every outcome. “No, you are not dead,” a melodic voice said. I opened my eyes and was in a beautiful field that was adorned with flowers of every color. My body was bathed in incredible warmth from the sun overhead. It was so peaceful, and my heart felt whole. It was a nice change from it feeling ripped apart, so there was that at least. There were wolves of all sizes sitting around, curiously watching me. It was a little creepy, but they looked happy. A beautiful woman stood between two of the larger wolves who looked as big as Krosthani. She was easily seven feet tall and had an ethereal glow around her. Her light brown hair cascaded in waves all the way to her waist, and her eyes were the most vibrant honey color which complemented her light bronze skin tone. “My name is Tylaphina, and it is because of you that I am free now. I was the
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 206
KAI “Why would you do that?” I screamed at her. There was only one explanation of how I was unharmed when she was not. She used Nata’s magic on me when I did not even realize it. She saved me instead of herself. I had never been more furious with her than I was in this moment. Macario and Tilly needed me to move away from her, but I could not do it. I could not let her go. “We have to let them take care of her. She needs them. Come on,” Xander said. I could hear the same anguish in his voice that I felt. I placed a kiss to her lips before setting her back on the ground and standing up. He pulled me a little further away to where Zane was. We watched as they assessed her. They spoke lowly to one another, but none of us could hear it. ‘She used Nata’s magic to protect me,’ I told Xander. I collapsed to the ground under the weight of it all. It was me that should be there and not her. She always took every fucking risk, putting everyone else before herself, when she should have pro
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 205
EMMA The success of tonight depended on my ability to play my part perfectly. Thankfully, that was one thing I excelled at no matter in which life or situation it was necessary. I steeled my shoulders and turned around slowly to see Asry’s smug face smirking at me as if he was the one in charge right now. As if he was the one who fooled me. Oh, how the mighty would fall. “Can’t say that I’m surprised that you’re here with mother bitch,” I said dismissively. “Ungrateful brat. Who do you think you are?” she hissed at me. I looked at Asry imploringly who just laughed and waved me on. He did not care about Lenora one damn bit. He probably was not wanting me to kill her, but I still would. This was something that I thought about extensively since we put this plan together. I needed to make him believe that I would consider being on his side. Then I would kill her so that she was out of our hair while also ensuring that his vessel was no more. This would solve one of the issues tonigh
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 204
EMMA Couples danced around the room, twirling, and dipping their partners. There was a string quartet playing on the balcony that oversaw the room. Acoustics amplified the music throughout the room as if it was right beside each of us. Despite the mission of the night, it was great to be in my Handsome’s arms once again. I loved sharing moments like this with my amazing mates. They were near and dear to my heart. No matter how much time we spent together in life, it would never be enough. Kai’s copper and silver eyes peered into mine while a handsome smirk pulled at his lip because he was thinking the same thing. We learned how to read one another better than any mindlink ever could. ‘Anything?’ I linked out. One of the sigils ensured that there was no evidence of a mindlink between any of us. That was the only way that we could pull this off. It also kept an open line of communication among everyone while in this room. It was a bit awkward right about now because there were many
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 203
EMMA The stress about tonight faded away the moment that my eyes locked onto my mates. I was never able to comprehend what I did right in life to have them willing to stand next to me no matter how crazy or bizarre the situation was. They were beside me every step of the way from that night at Olly’s until this moment as they pulled me between them. “You are absolutely stunning, love,” Xander said. He and Kai stalked around me to get the full view of my look. The matching low rumbles from their chests showed me that they certainly approved. “Doll…” He could not even finish his thought because his eyes flashed with an intense desire. “You get even more gorgeous every time my eyes look at you,” he said, caressing my cheek with his thumb. My body instantly flushed in response to his words. It was not certain that I would ever get used to everything they made me feel. I felt cherished, complete, immensely happy, and I felt loved most of all. All of those emotions flooded through my bo
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 202
EMMA We all ate a late breakfast together. It was not a joyous occasion, but we tried to make it as lighthearted as possible. The mission tonight was weighing heavily on everyone’s mind. It was not something that we discussed or alluded to, but it was the gigantic elephant in the room. I was really trying to keep my emotions under control because my mates would feel them and worry. We could not change what would happen tonight because we all knew the truth. Asry was too dangerous to let live. He would never stop coming for me or my family. We had to take him out of the equation to ensure our safety. I had a feeling in my gut that Nae’s vision of me being in a coma-like state was going to happen. This was the one thing I had to keep from my mates because they would call all of this off right here and now. They already felt guilty enough about me being in harms way, but there was nothing that we could do about it. I would just bury that thought as deeply as possible so that it did not
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 201
EMMA I woke up between my sleeping mates and smiled at them. They gave me the best ending to our night yesterday. That bath was perfect and incredibly relaxing. Today was going to be difficult on all of us but more so on them because they would be fighting against their instincts to protect me at all costs. Was I terrified to face Asry today? Absolutely. I would be a damned fool to feel giddy about facing an ultimate evil that wanted to enslave me as his Queen. However, that terror would solve absolutely nothing. For the time being, I would just shove that terror down as far as I could. Everyone needed to remain focused for today because our futures could finally begin once he was gone. A mischievous grin tipped my lips up as I looked between the two of them. Eenie…meenie… My gaze landed on Xander, so I carefully maneuvered myself until I was eyelevel with his glorious cock. I remembered the first time I saw it and how excited it made me. It still did to this day. I would never get
