We search for the rest of the night. This time combining the information in the grimoire for protections and a good old fashioned highly encrypted internet search. We were able to find stones and runes that should help us in our efforts, and I have an idea of how to make them wearable, but the pro
As we all start to pack our gear and head out. Sam slips something in my hand as he passes by, not looking at me. Someone must be watching. This is so stupid. I bend down like I am digging through my bag so I can read it. Bonfire, midnight, just you. “What the f*ck does that mean? ‘Just you’ l
We spend the rest of our evening setting up all of the pieces for the protection spell. I was hoping that Oliver would be here to help me, but Jena is more than adequate at helping me perform the incantation part of the protection spell. I light the fire in the firepit in the backyard like I do it
“Tomorrow.” I sniffle and I can feel my wolf purr at having this connection back. “So what happened there? Right at the end, something happened.” Lil finally speaks as the house comes into view. “I’m getting my guys back.” I take a deep breath in and let it out slowly. “Something about the bracele
“How am I supposed to get a bracelet on any of them if they can’t even pull their hands out of their pockets to hug me, Sam?” “You were able to touch him though, right?” “Yeah, I was able to hug him, but not the other way. He looked awful.” “They all do. Maybe one of us can get the bracelet on,
This time it didn’t go away and innocent lives are being lost and we are focused on the wrong things. We should not be having a ball to placate a f*cking princess wannabe, who decided to take, by force, what isn’t hers. Finally, Sunday rolls around and the new patrol schedule was posted last night
“Whatever we do, we are running out of time. There is only two weeks until their birthday.” Mateo walks to me and wraps me in the biggest bear hug that almost crushes my rib cage, but I couldn’t care less. It is one of the best feelings in the world. “We will figure this out Shorty, just keep fight
Wyatt and Nathaniel are actually excited to make the trial challenges. The idea of making it look hard, but not actually doing any damage or harm appeals to both of their weirdo boy brains. I stopped asking questions about the things that lit them up a long time ago and just accepted the help for
Thank you all so much for reading my story and sticking with me for the long haul. This book was over a year and a half in the making and all the support and comments have truly been inspiring. I appreciate you all more than you know. I am a new writer and learning as I go and you have all shown
Epilogue 85 years later.“There’s no way you’re going to make that happen.” Silas is challenging Mack to a timed speed race. “What’s going on here?” Cam slades up behind me, wrapping me in his arms.“The boys just heard about the challenges we used to do and that I beat all of you guys at one ti
Epilogue 7“You couldn’t just ask one of our warriors for a meeting? You had to interrupt our family dat and demand we see you here.” Oliver comes up next to me.“Seriously? There’s no way any of you would have seen me, and you never would have let her talk to me. If she was my mate, I wouldn’t l
Epilogue 6I was kept in the hospital for a full week after I woke up. Sierra’s parents took all kinds of samples for testing and actually packed a bunch up from me and the girls to take back to their lab to see if they can find a pattern or a way to help our family in the future. Elena and Gentry
Epilogue 5“Yep. On it.” Dakota blurts, momentarily disturbing the tiny girl in his arms. He recovers quickly whispering to her, holding her close to his face and smiling like an idiot, but she loves it smiling at the sound of his voice, or maybe his familiar scent. I'm not sure what they can sens
“I think you’ll find giving us three pups will wear you out a bit.” Oliver says sitting next to me gently tilting his pile of blankets.The tiniest most precious face I have ever seen peeks out. She’s barely the size of his forearm, but looks completely at home snuggled into him. I look at Oliver’s
Epilogue 4“No! Stop that thought right there. Once we start that, I get nothing done the rest of the day.” I put my finger up in his face then move past him to wash my hands, which is another amazing feat since I have to stand sideways. He just laughs behind me. They used to try to hide when th
Epilogue 3“What do we do? What can we do to make this better for you?” Cam climbs behind me, resting against the wall of pillows behind us and pulling me back between his legs. Oliver’s head drops to the bed unceremoniously.“Not okay man.” He half grumbles, half laughs, then crawls towards me t
“We’ll talk more about this tomorrow.” She turns to run at Sam, I’m sure crying again. This hormone sh*t is no joke.Before I can even think about her fast retreat, I am scooped up and carried away. Oliver’s honey scent doesn’t surprise me as I bury my face in his neck to calm my nerves. We obvi
