Gunner’s POVToday is the day. We are all loading up the busses and trucks and heading over to Iceland. When I left there months ago I never thought, in a million years that I would be heading back so soon. I was getting just one step closer to my mate with every step I took. I was bound and determined to find her and bring her home.I was lost in my own thoughts, daydreaming if we’re being honest, about what I was going to do to my mate when I saw her again. Maddox was not shy about anything and was throwing dirty mental images into my head.“Would you knock it off. Horn dog.” I had to chuckle. I know this had to be just as hard on him as it was for me. To finally find our mate and then lose her all within the same hour.“What? Don’t act like you haven’t thought of it either!” Maddox retorted.“Go lay your fluffy ass down and reserve your strength. We have a fight to win.” Maddox snorted at me and I could feel him retreating to the back of mind.“Dude how many suitcases you got?! And
Chelsea’s POV “Chelsea my dear! Oh how I’ve missed you darling!! Come here!” This little old lady came rushing at me before I even had a chance to respond. She looked familiar but I just couldn’t place her. Obviously she was related to me, but I don’t remember ever meeting this lady in my life. I looked up at Ben with a look to say ‘help me’ and he had to turn his head to hide the smirk and contain his laughter at the sight before him. “Um hello?” I stumbled out. “Oh dear me. I am so sorry. It’s just been ages since I’ve laid eyes on you my dear. My look how you’ve grown! Such a beautiful young woman. How old are you now? 17…18?” She was just rambling on and on and on. I don’t think I could’ve gotten a word in edgewise if I even tried. “I’m 18 ma’am.” I said while offering a soft smile. “Ma’am? Who are you calling ma’am? Dearie please, call me Grams.” She playfully slapped my arm. “Oh where are my manners? Please come in come in.” With that she was more or less shoving Ben and I
Cheyenne’s POV “Wake up! WAKE UP!!!!!” Koa was screaming in my head. She was all excited jumping up and down. “Just 5 more minutes.” I groaned as I rolled over. “NO! Now! Today is the day! How can you sleep on a day like today!” She barked (no pun intended). “I’m reserving my strength.” I mumbled still half asleep. “That’s what you got me for. I have waited to damn long for this day! The day I finally get to sink my teeth into…”She wouldn’t stop pacing in my head. “Ok ok, I’m up. Damn assmonkey.” I cut her off. “I’ll show you assmonkey if you don’t get out of bed. Although I’m not sure what an assmonkey even is. You kids and your slang terms nowadays.” She shook her head at me. I pulled the blankets back and set my feet on the floor, sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Koa was still parading around in my head. Glad she was ready for today because my anxiety was going threw the
Selene’s POV I was working on pairing mates for some of my children in the Philippines when I heard someone calling me. “Mother, MOTHER COME QUICK!” One of my wolves was hollering for me. I stopped what I was doing and rushed to the fountain where she was standing. When I looked into it I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Koa and the King were going at it and she was about to kill him. “No not yet! She can’t….” I turned around and headed for my portal to earth. I brought the thunder and lightening with me to get everybody else away. As soon as I saw everybody was clear and gone, I made my appearance. “Koa! Get off him!” I shouted but she didn’t budge. “NAKOA! NOW!” Koa cringed at the sound of her full name and slowly backed away from the King with her head lowered but still not breaking the eye contact. “While I should be thanking you, more importantly who are you my dear?” The King asked while standi
Collin’s POV I knew we were limited on time so sleep was going to have to wait. Dante and I arrived at the place the girl had described to a T. All down to the window trim. “Remind me to make that girl one of our investigators.” I said to Dante as we walked up to the house. “No kidding. She gave a better description than some of the more seasoned investigators we have.” Dante responded. We walked up to the door and let ourselves in. It was oddly quiet in the house that was supposed to be the headquarters of the group. Just when we thought no one was there, Dante stopped me and put his finger to his lips and then his ear. I took the que and started listening and heard what sounded like people whispering. We started following the voices quietly and when we came up to a door where they were coming from, I grabbed the handle and Dante took a defensive position, ready for anyone who might be stupid enough to try an attack. I twiste
Gunner's POV “We will be landing in Iceland in approximately 10 minutes. Please put your trays up and lock them in place, and make sure your seat is in the upright position. The pilot will now turn on the fasten seatbelt sign.” There was a ding noise and the seatbelt symbol lit up. I did as the flight attendant asked and looked around to make sure everyone else was following directions. That’s when it hit me, I was only hours away from seeing my mate again. To lose her after just finding her, and then after all this time not even seeing her or touching her, in this realm at least, I couldn’t wait any longer. “So much for not needing a mate huh?” Maddox grumbled in my head. “It was never in the plans. We were supposed to avenge my mother’s death. That was my only plan.” I thought. “Funny how life works out sometimes huh.” I chuckled to myself. “There’s still something that’s been eating at me though.” Maddox said. “What
Cheyenne’s POVI was falling into a very dark place; my mind going 100 miles per hour, anxiety at an all-time high and no family here to bring me out of a panic attack. I was sitting on the floor of my room with my back to my bed rocking back and forth and my hands were shaking uncontrollably.“Sweetie, you need to calm down. Your human counterpart family might not be here, but you still got me.” Koa softly said, back to her motherly voice. I swear she either had bipolar or multiple personality disorder sometimes.“I don’t know if I should be more worried or if that was meant to be calming.” I said with a shaky voice.“Look I know I’ve ‘off the rails’ as you kids call it nowadays, a couple times, but with my history with these people and now the new freedoms females have in this century, I get carried away. So much pent-up emotions for so many years can drive you crazy.” Sh
Seeley’s POV“REVA!!!!!” I shouted down my wing after returning from my morning run on the beach.Reva was my sister in-law. She was my brother’s mate but he went feral during the last war and was beating her and the pups and I couldn’t stand back and watch anymore so I hid her away in this mountain with her pups, Harold, Howard, Leona, and Herbert.She’s been alone ever since then. Lycan’s chance of a second chance mate is unheard of really. People have claimed it but you can tell after a while, when that “new toy” effect wears off that they weren’t true mates. Yeah I’m sure they loved each other, but there was no bond there.“REVA!!!” I hollered again. “My Chambers! NOW!”I never heard a response with being to wrapped up in my own thoughts. Vampires?! What are those bastards doing back here?! I haven’t had to deal with them in over a c
Jax’s POV Alida and Gunner had been traveling around the world. To say they were gone a lot would be an understatement. Tora and I have been trying to keep up with the alphas here and requests they had for Alida for when she returned. Thank the Goddess Tora was more organized than I was. I didn’t know how to do any of this shit. We have been building the house back up little by little in our spare time. Chelsea was about to pop at any moment. Things just seemed to be going great. Apart from the everyday stress, there wasn’t much I could complain about. Life was going great with my mate by my side. Meanwhile, we were still checking into Tyler’s mate, Stephanie to see if bringing him in as a beta would be the smart choice considering who her father was. So far there were no red flags. I would say that it would be safe to bring her into the pack, but that decision was up to Alpha Nik. Emma did her time in the pack jail and faced her trial in her own pack as well. They only added 6 mor
Cheyenne’s POV It’s been about week after all the chaos. Between dealing with momma, my sisters, and then my heat, I thought I was going to lose my shit. Gunner was right there with me every step of the way though. He made sure I always had everything I needed and wanted. We started working on making a master map of all the territories in the US to find a piece of land that would be large enough to build the royal court and prison on. We had already considered the humans and places they vacationed and whatnot. It looked like the best place to build was going to be between some mountain tops in the Rockies. I laughed to myself knowing how much Ella hated the cold. Nik helped me write up the proposal after talking to Charlie to see about putting a cloaking spell on the place so if anybody did wonder into the area, they wouldn’t see it. Charlie agreed to help us along with Alex and a few other very powerful witches they knew. After sending out the proposal to the Alphas in the US, I ha
Cheyenne’s POV I didn’t get shit for sleep last night. Gunner was on patrols and my mind with wondering with all the different impossible outcomes for my sister’s trails today. In one outcome, I ended up on death row and they were both standing there laughing at me. Ridiculous, I know. Gunner would randomly check in on me, feeling the stress and anxiety through the mate bond. I rolled my tiny ass out of bed with a moan and made my way to the bathroom. A good relaxing shower was much needed right now. My whole body was tensed from all the stress. I didn’t even bother grabbing clothes to take with me. Nobody ever came into our room anyways. Well, not without knocking first anyways. I took Gunner’s shirt off and just tossed it on the floor along with my panties and shorts. I turned on the shower to let it warm up while I brushed my hair out. Once I finished, I stepped in the shower and just stood under the shower head. I let hell’s fire water just rain down on my face and roll down my
Cheyenne’s POVAlpha Brock had just finished updating me when a couple of alphas from the northern packs that I hadn’t met before walked in. Alpha Nik did the introductions and I smiled as I shook their hands. It didn’t take long after that, more and more started showing up. Alpha Nik and Alpha Brock never left my side the entire time, to which I was thankful for. I wasn’t really the people person and I really hated meeting new people. Ty always said I had social anxiety which would kill his social butterfly every time he took me out. Once everyone was here, I went out to meet with all the guards.“I know y’all don’t know me, but I am in fact the Queen Alpha.” I started and simultaneously all their heads bowed. “No need for the formalities out here. I just wanted to introduce myself and to thank you for coming. I don’t care what your Alpha has said, my order over rules him and when we break fo
Cheyenne’s POV“Holy sweet mother of baby Odin! Where the hell are my boots!?” I was scrambling around trying to get ready for the Alpha meeting in a couple hours. We ended up picking a location that would be easy for everyone to get to, but it was at least an hour’s drive out for us. I had already woke up late and rushed in the shower.I was in such a rush I forgot to take my panties off before getting in. Gunner got a good laugh out of it so I took them off and then whipped them at his head. I hurried with my shower and didn’t even bother with blow drying my hair. I just through it up in a wet messy bun. I didn’t care what I looked like, I was not trying to impress anyone by no means, and I already made sure that everyone knew that this meeting was casual dress.“Babe…” Gunner started.“Not now, I gotta find my boots! What the fuck?! It’s not like they just got up and wa
Cheyenne POVWaking up the next morning, I wiped the sleep from my eyes and stretched my whole body out. I looked over to see that Gunner was still asleep when an idea popped in my head. I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote him a note like he did to me. Only instead of a yellow rose I placed a heresy’s kiss candy on top of it.I quietly made my way out of the bedroom and closed the door softly behind me. Once I knew I was in the clear, I made my way down to the kitchen for some breakfast. It was still early and barely anyone was up. Mostly just the warriors going out for their own personal training or patrols switching shifts.I was in the middle of eating my butterscotch chip pancakes when my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number. Normally I would just hit ignore but something was telling me to answer it. So I slid my thumb over the green circle on the screen.“Hello?&rdqu
Cheyenne’s POVI was awoke by kids laughter outside. My eyes fluttered opened adjusting to the sunlight coming through the opening between the curtains. I reached across the bed for Gunner but the bed was empty. Instead there was single yellow rose with a note on his pillow.Babe,You looked so peaceful sleeping, I didn’t want to wake you. I will be outside helping set up the fields for the little ones. Come on out when you wake up. I miss your face already.XOXO,GunnerI felt a smile crawl across my face. I immediately threw off the blankets and ran to the closet to get changed. I grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank top along with my tennis shoes. I hurried to change and threw my hair up in a messy bun without even bothering to brush it. I was trying to slid my shoes on as I was walking out the bedroom door. Once both my shoes were on, I bolted towards the front door.
Cheyenne’s POVI was sitting in Alpha Nik’s office with Alpha Brock sitting next to me. I knew it was killing Gunner not to be here but that was Nik’s call not mine. We had talked about my mother’s punishment first and I told them about the command I put on her. Would it work or not, I didn’t know how long it would work for but it was worth a try. Alpha Brock agreed to let her come back on the condition that my dad wanted her back. If he rejected her, then we would deal with that if or when that time comes.“What about Ella and Emma?” Alpha Nik asked.“They are both being charged with trespassing onto your territory correct?” Alpha Brock asked.“That is correct.” Nik confirmed.“And you say that their sole purpose here was to kill Gunner knowing that it might in fact kill you?” Brock asked looking at me.“Also correct.” I stated.
Cheyenne’s POVI stood there in utter shock for a moment until one of the guys behind me leaned down towards my ear and whispered.“Do you know them?” Jax asked.I let out a warning growl and took a defensive position causing both of them to do the same.“I got this sweetie.” Koa laughed. I felt this wave of energy come out of me and felt my eyes change colors. “On your knees NOW!” Koa growled.The two intruders tried to fight but ended up on their knees with their necks bared in submission. It wasn’t until I heard a whimper behind me that I realized that my command had affected even the alpha. I quickly released and apologized to the guys whom all reassured me that it was perfectly fine.“So you gunna tell us who these two are?” Alpha Nik asked now standing beside me and pointing between the two.“Alpha Nik, Beta Derek, Jax, these intruders would be tw
