As I regain conciseness my eyes instantly fly open, and I quickly look around to see I'm in a cold metal cell. I try to move but only to find my hands and feet are cuffed up. My head is sore, and I try to remember what happened. Was this some crazy sex fantasy for one of the boys or something? "Glad to see you're finally awake." A man states, walking in with a grin. I instantly shiver in fear as I see the dark look in his eyes. "Where am I?" I ask nervously, realizing quickly sinking in. "You're in my pack house, we knocked you out and brought you here." he tells me. Everything comes crashing back to me, sending my body straight into a panic attack. I could only hope that Rayne and Ryker would find me now. "Why am I here? Did I do something wrong? I'm so sorry if I did." I ask, biting my lip in fear. I was so confused. Why would a werewolf kidnap me and why was I locked up? I hadn't even met one before let alone done anything to upset one! He lets out a chuckle. "You think I d
"Now, I want you to tell me. Where is the fae realm located?" he asks me, trailing the knife up my leg again. "I have no idea! I haven't even known Rayne that long! Let alone, have I ever gone to his realm! I haven't even been to the vampire one!" I shriek with fear. He simply rolls his eyes. "I find that hard to believe. Don't lie to me again." he growls, before slashing the knife through my thigh. I let out a scream in pain as my whole leg begins to burn like a flame within my skin. "I swear, I'm telling the truth! Please believe me! I honestly don't know! I'm sorry!" I beg in between sobs of pain. He lets out an irritated growl again before making another slash in my thigh a little further up this time, making me scream once again with pain. "Please, I'm sorry." I sobbed. "I'll give you a break for now." he tells me as he drops the knife. I quickly look up to him unbuckling his pants. "What... what are you doing?" I choke out through painful sobs. He could not possibly b
"Holy shit. Are you sure?" Ryker asks shocked.' "The man, he told me. He said I'm the daughter of the alpha of the Raining-Moons pack, but I didn't believe it until he mentioned a voice in my head, and I have one. She confirmed it for me. I have a wolf! In my head! The 50% was werewolf." I explain to him. "I'm sorry did you just say werewolf?!" Rayne states, suddenly walking into the room. "Rayne! You're okay!" I cheer, starting to move towards him only to scream in pain from the slashes. "Shh, princess. Just relax for a second. Let me heal you first." Rayne tells me, coming and sitting beside my thigh. "They used a silver knife. Will you still be able to heal her?" Ryker asks him worriedly and he nods his head. "It should work." Rayne replies. I watch as his hands begin to glow but this time instead of a blue color it's orange. "Move the towels please." Rayne asks Ryker. Ryker gently removes the towels, still causing me to groan at the movement. Rayne then moves his hands clo
I wake up to someone placing soft kisses down the side of my neck and let out a soft moan before opening my eyes to see Ryker. I turn around and wrap my arms around him as I realize Rayne is no longer in the bed. "Good morning, little fawn." he greets me, kissing my forehead softly. "Morning." I mumble back. "Me and Rayne have some things to take care today. He had to leave early since he had to go to his realm and now, I have to get ready to go. I'm really sorry we can't be here but don't worry we will be back in a couple hours, okay? We want to make sure we aren't gone too long especially after what happened." he tells me reassuringly, as he reaches out and to stroke my cheek softly. I lean into his hand, letting out a soft content sigh. "Okay." I reply softly, and he leans in and captures my lips with his. "I love you." he states, before pulling away. "I love you too. " I reply, before snuggling back into the sheets. "See you soon." he tells me, before leaving the room. I s
I wake up to a cold bed and open my eyes and look around to see that neither Rayne nor Ryker are here. I let out a sigh thinking they must of went to work and decided not to let me know. I climb out of the bed and slip on Rayne's shirt before making my way downstairs. Right as I'm about to reach the kitchen I hear a knock on the door. I freeze for a moment and think. Do I answer it or ignore it? Might as well answer it in case it was one of the boys. As I reach the front door, I open it just a bit to see a girl with dark black hair and a white flowy dress on. "Ah, hello." I greet, unsure who the person was. "Hi, I'm Raven. I'm here to see my brother, Ryker." she tells me sweetly. "Oh, I'm sorry. He isn't here right now, did you want to come in and wait?" I ask softly and she nods her. "That's perfect, thank you." she replies. I open the door all the way and she walks in with a suitcase behind her. I wonder if she was going to be staying here for a while? Before I could ask anyth
"Hello, my sweet little fawn... and Raven?" Ryker greets, clearly surprised to see her. "Hello, brother." Raven replies with a grin. "Hi, Ryker. Hi, Rayne." I greet happily. "Hello, princess." Rayne says with a grin coming over and wrapping his arms around me as Ryker goes and hugs his sister. "Raven, what are you doing here?" Ryker asks pulling away from her. "I just came to visit you and meet Autumn and get to know her. You keep telling me how great she is, so I came to meet her myself and she definitely is great." she tells him with a chuckle. "I see. Well, I'm glad to see you and I'm happy you got to meet my little fawn. Stay for as long as you please." he replies with a happy smile. "Also, as you can see Rayne is here, he also is staying here, as he is also Autumn's soulmate." he continues and Raven gasps. "No way!" she states shocked, but we all nod our heads, and she looks at all of us in bewilderment. "Wow. Just wow. You really are something special, aren't you?" she c
"What did you want to get, princess?" Rayne asks giving my hand a small squeeze. "I'm not sure... a pasta maybe?... with chicken?" I reply thoughtfully. "How about chicken alfredo?" he suggests, and I nod happily. "Sounds yummy." I agree. "To drink?" he asks. "Water." I reply simply. "Have you ever had pop before, Autumn?" Raven asks. "Ah no, is that a candy?" I ask confused. "Nope it's a drink, it's not healthy but it's really good tasting if you want to try it. Humans quite enjoy it." she tells me. "Sure." I say, excitedly. Both Raven and Rayne begin to explain the different types of pops before asking me which one I would like to try. "What one do you like to drink? " I ask Rayne. "Pepsi and Root beer. I like them both." he replies. "What one are you going to get?" I ask next. "I think Pepsi tonight." he replies. "I'm going to get root beer then, that ways I can try both." I say, with a giggle. "Are you suggesting that you're going to steal my pop?" Rayne asks with a
Ryker quickly slams on the brakes and Raven grabs my hand which I squeeze onto in fear as the car struggles to slow down. Ryker quickly jerks the wheel to the side to avoid hitting it and it causes the car to tumble sideways. I let out a scream in fear as it flips over repeatedly. It feels like forever until suddenly the car stops, landing on something hard on my side of car. I let out a cry in pain as the door implodes from the impact, hitting me in the process, with Raven doing her best to hold herself up so she doesn't get shoved up against me. "Are you okay, Autumn?" Ryker asks in a panicked voice. "No, please get me out! I can't breathe!" I panic, starting to hyperventilate as I feel extremely claustrophobic. "Shhh baby, I know your scared, but I need you to try and take some deep breaths and relax. We are going to get you out, okay?" he replies with a calming tone. I squeeze my eyes shut and try to take some deep breaths as I hear Raven and Ryker kick their doors open. I open
I stood in front of the mirror and smiled as I looked over my beautiful forest green dress one last time. "Beautiful, mommy." my sweet daughter Sabrina's voice murmured from behind me. Turning around I smiled at the little angel who looked just like Rayne. "Not as beautiful as you." I smiled to her. Grabbing her small hand, I led her out of the room and down the stairs where Lucy and Selena were patiently waiting for us with wide smiles. "You look so beautiful, Autumn." Lucy compliments, before pulling me into a quick hug. "Thanks, Luce. Is everyone here?" I ask, and she nods her head happily. "Did the boys make it to their fathers?" I ask, and she laughs. "Shockingly, yes." she replies, and we all laugh. "Come on, Sabrina. Let's go outside and wait with everyone." Selena pipes up before scooping her up into her arms. I watch them leave before slipping on some black ballet flats and turning towards Lucy. "Thank you for doing this with me." I tell her softly, as she takes my
The day was finally here. The twins would be exiting the womb and coming into our lives physically and I was beyond excited and terrified. Today I would be getting a planned C-Section. I was 36 weeks pregnant, and my doctor advised having a planned C-Section as my babies weren't growing much anymore, most likely due to my small size so it was best for them to come out, so they could continue to grow. "How are you feeling, princess?" Rayne asks, laying next to me. We had just woken up and Ryker went to go wake up the rest of the family since everyone had come down again just this time for the birth and were staying with us. "Excited but terrified. I am so excited to see their little faces, but the thought of having my stomach cut open is just terrifying." I reply, anxiety coursing through my veins. "It'll be okay, princess. You won't feel a thing and me and Ryker will be there the whole time." he replies soothingly. "Thank you." I say, and he kisses me softly. The past couple week
A few more weeks has passed since Zephyr came and met the other side of my family and he has made it a habit to come and visit me at least 3 times a week since then. My father's side of the family and Zephyr have gotten along amazingly. Lucy has even taken him in like her own son, since finding out they he has never had any motherly figure in his life since my mother vanished. I'm now 29 weeks and my belly has gotten much larger. I still have 11 weeks to go but I was happy because today was my baby shower and the best part? It was in my new house. It was finally built, and I couldn't wait to see the inside of it. The boys wanted me to wait until today, saying that one of the large baby shower gifts was already there, and they wanted it to be a big surprise. Lucy had already been there, and she said it was a beautiful house and that I was absolutely going to love it and it was big enough to hold all the family that lived away so that ways when we had big family get togethers, like to
It's been a few weeks since being in the fae realm and I was now 22 weeks pregnant. Once we had left the fae realm, we had gone back to Ryker's for a while before traveling back to my father's land where I had an ultrasound and found out I was having twin boys. I was pretty excited and so was Ryker and Rayne for the most part. Ever since everything that had happened with Bella, Rayne had to make the decision of what to do with her. In the end, he chose execution. As much as it killed him to have her killed, it would have hurt him and his family more to watch her suffer and die slowly in a cell for the rest of her life and after her crimes those were her only choices, so he told me. Ever since then, he has been distant. He does his best to be happy, but I can tell he is hurting. To make it worse though, he also has been traveling back to the fae realm a lot and wasn't with us as much which made me sad, but I knew he needed his time and space to cope and grieve and I had respect that.
I wake up and stretch, feeling refreshed and full of life. As I open my eyes, I look around to see a room full of people and furrow my brows, but as my eyes settle on Zephyr, everything quickly comes back to me. "Bella?" I ask, looking over at Rayne. "In a cell with on the clock watch." he replies, and I let out a small breath of relief. "How are you feeling, little fawn?" I hear Ryker say, and look over to see him standing beside the other side of my bed. "Great." I reply, happy to see him. "Autumn, we are so sorry for everything that happened. We still cannot believe Bella was behind this the whole time." Poppy admits sadly. "It's okay, Pop. It was a shock to me too, but I quickly went into save my mate mode. I guess it triggered my inner fae in the process." I reply, with a small smile. "You are very powerful for part fae." Zephyr comments, making me grin. "Must be from our mother." I say softly, and he gives me a sad smile. "I'm sorry for everything that happened. Bella w
Holy shit. It was Bella. What the hell was she doing here? She was supposed to be in her office. Unless maybe she came down here to interrogate one of the prisoners? I watch as she moves some vines away from the wall and I see a pink flower that looks just like the ones on the vine, but yet wasn't attached to it which was strange. As I continue to watch, she grabs the flower and twists it around three times before suddenly the wall beside her covered in vines as well, suddenly pops out. She grabs it and pulls it open, just enough so she can slip inside before it shuts quietly behind her. We stay crouched for a few more minutes before standing back up and making our way to the same vines. Ready? As ready as I will ever be. We repeat the same process and quietly but cautiously go through the door as it shuts behind us. I look down to see concrete stairs going down a flight or two and we make our way down until we reach the bottom. I see a steel door with a small window, and we qui
Hours had passed since Stella had arrived to the room and we were still waiting for Bella and Zane to come and talk to us, as there still had been no sign of Rayne. "What do you think is going on?" I ask Pop, as we continue to sit and sip tea. "Knowing Zane, him and Bella are most likely questioning everyone in the palace trying to find someone who may have seen Rayne." she replies simply. "Why is it taking so long?" I ask. "You don't want to know." Stella replies gently, and I furrow my brows, not really liking the sound of it but also somewhat curious to know why. Before I can even try to push the topic, the door opens and we all jump up thinking it's Rayne, only for Zane to walk inside. "Where is Bella?" Pop asks, as she notices Bella is not with him. "She is going back to the office to look around and see if maybe Rayne left any note on any issues or received any letters that perhaps he didn't share with anyone." Zane replies, and Pop nods her head in understanding. "Did yo
I wake up the next morning to an empty bed and quickly get up and go to the bathroom to shower in the misty, waterfall like shower before getting ready for the day. Once I'm dressed in a long sleeve lace white top and light lavender colored skirt, I quickly make my way out of the room and begin to travel through the palace to find Rayne or one of his family members who might know where he is.As I reach the kitchen, I see Poppy and Zane sitting at the table eating."Hello, Autumn." Zane greets me kindly, as I walk towards them."Hey, have you guys seen Rayne? When I woke up, he wasn't there, usually he wakes up and tells me where he is going before he leaves." I say, hoping they would know where he went.Both Poppy and Zane frown slightly."We haven't seen him either sweetheart. Stella should be in her room and Bella in her office if you want to try asking one of them." Pop replies."Okay, thank you!" I reply, before quickly making my way to Stella's room.I knock on her door softly a
The day had gone amazing. The fae realm was the most beautiful, mystical place I had ever seen, and I truly loved it. I couldn't help but picture my babies being able to run around it and play here when they were old enough. The palace was huge, much bigger than I could ever have imagined but it was beautiful and filled with any room you could imagine. The garden was full of different plants and flowers and beautiful large trees with some of prettiest flowers I had ever seen on them. Wildlife was everywhere, living freely and happily. They loved fae as much as the fae loved and cherished them. Giving them a unique relationship and newfound respect you didn't see anywhere else. Bonding time with Rayne's family had also went extremely well. I could definitely see how come him and Stella were so close, their personalities were so similar, especially their funny side. Bella although not close to Rayne, got along well with me as I did her. She was very wise and smart and gave me all the b
