Red Rover Chapter 17 - Nyx
I can’t help but look at Nathan, feeling as if I’ve just come into his world and screwed everything up. You see, I’ve done some research on Nathan. I know about his prophecy and his powers. I know how brave he is and the accomplishments he made in battle. I know about his mentorship of so many warriors, not just those that are skilled, but also the pups who were just learning how to hold a battle stance. I know how much he loves his family and his pack. And the only thing that has kept him from taking over as alpha and ruling this pack as is his potential and birthright, is killing my family. Ridding the world of all Riding Hoods. And I’m pulling him away from that mission. Just by being here. But maybe, just maybe, if I can help him get rid of my mother and the other two witches and then get rid of my own powers, then his prophecy will come true. And then we can complete the rejection. Because no matter what I do, I can’t change who I am or what I was. And he doesn’t wa

“JoJo, you can come back home. I know that things are hard right now, especially with your mates, but you have to talk with them. I mean, Jacob’s already taken back his rejection and Alexander has refused to reject you. Do you really want to live your life feeling them, still being drawn to them?” I’m pleading with her to understand that this plan that she has to just ignore her mates isn’t going to work. She’s got to deal with it head on and the three are going to have to come to some kind of resolution. “That’s not true, Mom. I know the stories. I know how Carl broke the bond with Lauren and Richard,” she says. Both my mates and I either gasp or stare slack jawed at our daughter. “Niña, ¿sabes lo difícil que va a ser para ti y para ellos? (Baby girl, do you know how hard that’s going to be on you and them?)" Gael hisses out in rapid fire Spanish, a sure indication of how much JoJo’s suggestion has shaken him. “Sí, papá. Lo sé. (Yes, Dad. I know),” JoJo says. “I know how h
Red Rover Chapter 19 - Slade
I can see the way that Nathan is looking at Nyx. The single minded focus on every movement that she makes. The half movements towards her before he stops himself. And I know it’s the matebond working on him. Even if it is against his will, he’s falling for her. I already know that he’s been looking into her. He’s talking to Devin about what happened while she was at the Diana Area. How she allowed them to hurt her in order to prove that she was on our side. He’s talked to Bella on the phone about how she did everything that she could think of to help us. He’s even spoken to Esteban, when the male didn’t try to knock Nathan’s head off. And Nathan’s starting to fall for her. I know that I’m not Nathan’s biological father, but I’m the only father that he’s had in any way that matters. I know what it looks like when my son puts his foot down about something, thinking that he’s right, and then has to figure out how to get that same foot out of his own damn mouth because he
Red Rover Chapter 20 - Nyx
It’s been two days since the breakfast with Nathan’s family. Two days since I found out that Nathan will only ever have one mate. Me. I’m still not sure how to feel about it, so I push it to the side. Just refuse to think about the whole situation. It’s…a lot. And I just don’t think that it’s something I can handle right now. So I turn my attention to one of the other two pressing problems in our lives: getting everyone into the realm of the gods. We want to try and take down the Riding Hoods at the same time we release the gods. Because there is no way that the Riding Hoods escaping and being taken in by Loviatar isn’t tied to the disappearance of the gods and goddesses of the world. That would be too much a coincidence. The other witches are back, having arrived by plane yesterday morning. It was a great seeing all of them and their mates, especially Bella, Gregory, and Jamal. I’ve missed them. “Tell us what’s been going on,” Bella says when I step into their house f
Red Rover Chapter 21 - Nathan
Being in Nyx’s presence is both full of exquisite pleasure and exquisite pain. I can scent her aroma of wild plums all around me, calming and tantalizing me all at the same time. Anytime that we accidently touch, I can feel the fated sparks march up and down my skin. Her muttered questions and curses brings her melodic voice to my ears. But that’s all. Accidental touches. Overheard mutterings. Her scent on the air. It’s such torture. Not to be able to touch her, talk to her, feel her in the way that I want to. I want her. So badly. I just don’t know if I’ve screwed it up so much that I can’t have her. The hours that we spend together speed away in a mess of quiet contemplation, longing, and frustrated research. But at the same time, nothing happens between us. And it is killing me. We work together throughout the day, only stopping for lunch, which isn’t allowed to be eaten in the library. Magic and food mixed together is a bad combination. Never know what that’
Red Rover Chapter 22 - Kaia
Zoe’s words from our argument just keep playing over and over in my head, even several days later. “I’m tired of your shit!” “Fucking leave! But I’m staying!” “Please don’t hurt our mate!” It’s like she’s choosing him over me. She didn’t come home that night, staying with her family in their visitor cabin. When she did come home, it was strained between us. It’s not like we’ve never had an argument. We’ve been friends for our whole lives. Of course we’ve been in fights. But this is our first fight as mates. And it’s the first fight that we didn’t fix within a day of having it. I got a whole lot more vulnerable in that coffee shop than I meant to. A whole lot more vulnerable than I really realized I was feeling. I mean, I get that I’m not necessarily being all that rational about the whole being mated to Tomas thing, I completely get that. I’ve just never felt like this before. Like I might not measure up to someone else. Like I might not be good enough. I me
Red Rover Chapter 23 - Alexander
Normally, I’m not part of the supernatural council meetings. Granted I’m now an alpha and will soon find out if I’m the healer or the strength of my brother and my demi-god blood, but I’m still just a soldier in the Elite 10. So when Ma and Pop sent a mindlink out to the whole Elite 10 that there would be a council meeting, I didn’t think anything of it. Especially since Pop said that it was going to start at eight on a Saturday morning. Fuck that shit. I’m sleeping in, wrapped in my mate’s arms. Jacob and I have been coping with not having JoJo with us. It’s been hard, especially since she has blocked any way for us to communicate with her: phone, mindlink, email, smoke signal. All go unanswered. We’re hoping that eventually we’ll be able to see her in person again. I know that right now, she’s off in Canada, doing the wolf thing. It’s really frustrating that she’s categorically refusing to talk to us. I mean, I’ve done nothing but want to have both of my mates in
Red Rover Chapter 24 - Rowen
I haven’t been to the Goddess Realm recently because of having taking over as a beta in the Moon Goddess pack. Although I’ve been gradually taking over the job for the last two years, having it all on my shoulders has been a lot. My mates and I have also been splitting our time between Arcadia and the Artemis Territory since Jared is also a beta of the pack. And although the pack spans the entire country, the alphas, betas, gammas, and deltas of the pack have our specific territories to care for. The people and the land are things that we have to care for. If we aren’t there to understand their day to day needs, we aren’t doing anyone any good. That’s going to be something that we’ll have to figure out soon. Will we be eventually settling in Arcadia or in Artemis? Jared, Summer, and I were actually talking about that last night before bed, trying to figure the best way for us to decide. I had walked into the supernatural council meeting somewhat sick about the decision, n

Red Rover Chapter 100 - Hermes
I’ve been stuck here in the Underworld at Uncle Hades and Aunt Persphone’s palace for weeks, unable to see my mates for anything. I was so fucking stupid. Erasing their marks wasn’t even the dumbest thing that I did, though it was by far the worst thing I could have done to make them trust me. Especially Jacob. No, the dumbest thing that I did was checking in on them once they went back to the gates of Valhalla. Because Lucifer caught me as they were escaping to come to the Underworld. And now he has all of us down here together so that he can “keep his allies close.” I’ve managed to slip out a couple of times just to check on my mates, but Lucifer himself caught me last time. I’m still recovering from being thrown into the flames of the Phlegethon River. It didn’t matter that I told him that I was checking up on our enemies’ whereabouts and activities. He said that he had other’s to do that and I was to stay in line and follow his orders. I don’t know how I’m going to be
Red Rover Chapter 99 - Devin
“How is it that we haven’t heard anything in two weeks? I don’t understand!” Nathan is frazzled and very much on edge. Not only is he grieving the loss of Gregory and Citra, but he hasn’t heard from Nyx at all. And not only that, we have no idea where she is. We’ve heard nothing from the evil gods or goddesses. Nothing from Lucifer. Hell, we don’t even know where Hermes is. Selene and Hecate have returned to their realms. Thor is still hanging out with Selene in her realm. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but I also doubt that I have much say in how this goes. If Selene is our mother and she mates with Thor, does that make him our new daddy? Blech. I don’t even want to think about it. That’s just wrong on so many, many levels. The weird thing, though, is that we haven’t heard from Hermes either. Neither has JoJo, Alexander, and Jared. They have no idea where he is. JoJo and Alexander have said that they’ve gotten a couple of mindlinks from him sporadically h
Red Rover Chapter 98 - Bella
I feel hollow. Completely gutted. Like everything has been scooped out of me. Nyx is gone. We have no idea where she could be. Nathan hasn’t been able to find her on the Astral Plane. We haven’t been able to find Hermes and we can’t get in touch with Hades or Persephone since we left Tartarus.Citra is dead. And though I didn’t know who Citra was until 22 years ago, she became as much of a sister to me as Isla, Ivy, and Indigo are. As much as Iris was. I presided over her handfasting with Michael. I’m the godmother to Caleb, her first born. I don’t remember a day going by in 22 years where we didn’t speak to each other at least once. And now she’s gone.And my mate died saving me. He literally pushed me out of Fenrir’s grasp and died to protect me. We said goodbye to him yesterday, Jamal, our children and I staying in the field until his pyre completely burned out. I have no idea how we’re going to move on from here. Jamal and I are basically living, breathing ghosts.
Red Rover Chapter 97 - Jamal
Bella and I have been in a fog since Gregory’s death. He was one third of our soul and now that he’s gone, it’s like there’s a great gaping hole in our lives. Our two sets of twins Freya and Finnegan and Amethyst and Axel have been trying to help us, but it’s all that they can do to keep their grief at bay. Gregory and I had been together since before the civil war started. When it was us against Mathias. About 22 years ago. We found Bella about a year and a half later when the Riding Hoods first showed up. Twenty years together. Though it might seem long, it wasn’t enough. Gregory was our bright spot in this world. He always found the silver lining. Always found something for us to smile or laugh about. Always made the day brighter just by being him. Bella and I have always been the practical ones, bogged down by our responsibilities as alpha and High Priestess. Gregory found a way to cheer us up. Brought a different perspective to our hard times. How will we find
Red Rover Chapter 96 - Nathan
I rush over to Bella and Jamal who have fallen to the ground sobbing. Mom looks split between going to Michael and going to Bella and Jamal. Michael was in her original pack, but Bella and Jamal have been a necessary part of our family because of my being a hybrid. They are both like family to us, though I’m definitely much closer to Bella and Jamal. As the witches seem to be gathering around us, Mom and Dad run to Michael’s side. Hawk and Jareth follow them. They are sobbing. Wordless, agony filled cries falling from their mouths, They cling to each other, not seeming to sense any of us around them. I can’t even imagine the pain that they are going through. It has to be awful. I don’t even want to know what I would do if Nyx…I can’t even think about it. The fact that I can’t even see her is killing me. And we’re not even mated. We’ve barely known each other for a few months. How awful must it be for them to have lived together for more than 20 years. To have child
Red Rover Chapter 95 - Brandon
I have just finished slicing through two demons when I see the giant wolf enter the field. That has to be Fenrir, the evil werewolf son of Loki. Yeah, I know my mythology. Chris went through a phase where she wanted to know everything about all the mythologies in the world. And at that point, Zak and I had already decided that he was on math and science duty, while I was on history, cultural studies, and English. Can’t beat a master bullshitter. I know exactly who he is and what he’s capable of. So when I see him heading towards Bella and Citra, I start to run across the field. Through our pack mindlink, I yell Get to Bella and Citra! I feel all the wolves look towards them, but Fenrir landed less than 20 yards from them. It would just take a few of his massive steps to make it to their side. I see Gregory and Jamal fighting their way towards Bella, Michael to Citra, but there’s no way that they’re going to be able to make it in time. But Gregory puts on a huge burst
Red Rover Chapter 94 - Nathan
Within seconds, wolves and gods are teleporting into the camp. The fae and other supernaturals have also contacted their rulers and we have portals opening up all over the place. The only ones that don’t show up are JoJo, Alexander, Chris, and Jacob. Hecate still hasn’t come back from bitching out Hermes, so they can’t teleport to us. “Alright everyone, circle up! We’ve got to come up with a plan NOW. What information do we have?” Mom says. Her goddess gift of strategy is really going to come in handy here. One of the Valkyries that Gondul sent comes back, streaking through the sky and directly to her leader. “Mist!” Gondul calls when she is about 20 feet away. “Where is Hrist?” “Keeping watch. The demons are pouring out of the gates. Fenrir is with them. Looks like he is leading them with a god that we do not know,” the Valkyrie, Mist, responds. “Fenrir?” Summer asks. “You mean the Norse werewolf?” Gondul’s face turns to look at us, her expression impassive. “Yes.
Red Rover Chapter 93 - Tomas
It’s been two hours since Nathan went to the Astral Plane. Bella stopped in to check on them after he had been there for an hour, but found the couple talking to each other in low voices and snuggling on a couch. She elected to allow Nathan to stay there for another hour. He and Bella are emerging from his tent right now. “How is she?” I ask my best friend when he gets close. It’s easy to see that he’s been crying, but just as easy to see that spending that time with his mate has helped him a lot. I want to give him a hug, but Nathan doesn’t always welcome that kind of affection when he’s this upset. “She’s hanging in as best as she can. I think that seeing someone other than her tormentors was really helpful,” he tells me. “Bro, it’s got nothing to do with seeing ‘someone’ and everything to do with seeing you,” I tell him, clapping him on the shoulder and squeezing. He actually blushes a bit, a small smile crawling over his face. “She told me that she loves me.” At t
