I hope you are enjoying my story. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read it. Thank you.
Trinity POV Warmth fills my throat and slowly radiates out. A man grunts, “How long do you think it will take?” Where is that voice coming from? Another man replies, “I don’t know. We will have to wait and see.” Wait and see what? As the warmth creeps across my body, all my aches slowly disappear. My eyes slowly flutter and open. The bright light instantly blinds me, and I quickly close them again. I breathe a small sigh of relief because I’m out of the crazy limbo place. Shuffling sounds around me pull my attention back to reality. I’m finally awake. I open my eyes again and find a godlike man with short brown hair and warm caramel brown eyes standing on one side of the bed. The gold flecks in his eyes sparkle and lure me to him. The warmth from earlier continues to spread through me, making the tips of my fingers and toes tingle. A gruff voice pulls me to the other side of the bed. “How do you feel?” The authority those few words hold puts me on edge and ma
Trinity POVLance’s words echo in my head. He gave me his blood. My stomach lurches forward. What does he mean by that? The King waves his hand towards Lance and then me. “I had him feed you his blood. When he smeared his blood on your face, your cuts instantly healed up. The same seems to be true for you to him too. I forced him to do a test and cut his hand. I then pricked your finger. Your blood instantly healed his cut. I don’t quite understand why. He can heal people but not instantly like this and never was there someone can heal him like this. It is very strange. But we are also keeping this little bit of information to just the three of us. Okay?”His last word rings out with an air of authority and is more of a demand than a question. I swallow hard and nod. “Okay.”I glance to my side at Lance. Is he a healer? I’ve heard about them, but I have never met any before. My moment of confusion then snaps back to the part where Lance fed me his blood. A wave o
Alpha Edward POV“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T FIND MY DAUGHTER!!!” My words fly out of my mouth and slice through the air while my blood boils. The vein along my face pulses hard and echoes in my head, but I don’t care. My daughter and the heir to the pack is missing! We need to bring her back!I drill my glare into each person as I scan the room, letting them know this isn’t the time to hold anything back. Seldom do we use the elder’s meeting room, but it is one of the few places within the pack where I can talk to my ranking officers and the elders with no one being able to ease drop on us. The room has been soundproofed and is large enough to handle all of us. I can scream until I’m hoarse, and no one outside will hear a thing. My burning glare stops at a small group of my top security personnel. “TELL ME HOW YOU ARE UNABLE TO FIND HER!! IT IS YOUR JOB TO KNOW WHERE SHE IS AT ALL TIMES!!”The group of four coward backwards and lower their heads but only provide me with sil
Trinity POV“Do you understand what I’ve told you? Or do you have any questions? I know this is a lot of information to take in, but I think our biggest concern right now is your lose of your wolf. You need to get your wolf back to make a full recovery.” He pauses for a moment and glances down at his tablet. “I still can’t explain why or how you woke up so soon, especially without your wolf. It doesn’t make any sense. But I’m glad you did.”My stomach churns. If he only knew, he might not be glad.He gives me a faint smile. “You are healing. We need to also heal your wolf side. She took the brunt of the attack, including the effects of the poison. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes several weeks, if not months, for your wolf to recover and return.”No. I don’t want to be here that long. But I don’t know where I’ll go. It isn’t safe to go back home right now. I first need to find out who is responsible for the attack and the poison. I’m positive the poison was in the
Trinity POVI stare across to the end of the hospital bed at the older woman. My throat tightens as she repeats her question. “When you got to the spot where you thought you heard the call for help, what happened?”I shake my head. “I didn’t get there. Somehow, on my way while running in the direction of our pack’s unique call, several werewolves jumped out and blocked me right after another call rang out, which had suddenly jumped to a short distance from me.”My heartbeat quickens as the scene plays out in my head. She leans over the foot of the bed and types something on her laptop, which sitting on the bed. She lets out a small sigh and presses her lips together. “Are you sure you had the distance correct?”From beside me, Lance grunts, “Didn’t she just tell you the call was much closer than before?” She lifts her gaze from her laptop and stares at him. “Your…”Lance’s hand balls into a fist, and a thick tension instantly builds within the room. She swallows and turns her
Lance POV Chad nudges my arm. “Come on, man. We need to go out and have some fun with our friends. It has been days since we have. They are waiting for us.” I snort and shake my head. “No. I don’t feel like it.” The clicks of the game controller and the sounds from the video game fill the room. Chad shakes his head. “This isn’t like you. You never turn down an offer to go out with friends, and you don’t stay this long back home. We are always out of this place, only coming back when we are ordered to. I don’t know how much longer I can hide from my family.” Tap. Tap. Tap. I tilt the control and, with my focus fixed on the TV, I grunt, “Then you go out and go back to our friend’s place. You don’t need to stay here.” Tap. Tap. Tap. He tilts his controller in the same direction as mine and huffs, “How can you say that? I’ve always stayed with you in whatever hotel or apartment you have. We don’t stay at our friends’ places. That is too much of a security risk.”
Trinity POV I stare out the hospital window at the black evening sky. Nothing is visible, and it seems to know what I’m thinking and feeling. Instead of dark cloud, it has given me a dark sky. I need to get out of here. They say it is safer here than any other place, but I don’t trust the Lycans to not do something to me. Even the older lady from the council today had a look in her eyes, which I couldn’t place. She had the usual sympathy and an air of professionalism, but there was something else. When she talked about me being the only female alpha in over a 100 years, something else lit up in her eyes. It doesn’t scare me, but it gives me an uneasy feeling which I don’t like. I wiggle my feet, but they only move a little. Ugh. I take a deep breath as the silence hammers down on me, and my thoughts go everywhere. After realizing my pack is responsible for me being like this, I can’t go back there. Well, not yet. In my current state, they would finish off the job a
Lance POVWhat in the world is she thinking? Why would she jeopardize her health like this? The other werewolves who come here for treatment don’t act like this. They are all very thankful to the Lycan staff and for being able to recover, which they wouldn’t have been able to do in their pack hospitals. Only the worst cases come here. The ones where the werewolf’s pack hospital has exhausted all they can do. The wolf will either die or permanently be crippled. The Lycan hospital has certain criteria for the werewolves to be admitted, so most don’t think of us until they have no other option. Even then, either their alpha or elder needs to suggest us to them before they think about coming here. Trinity’s father has sent other members from her pack here in the past. It has only happened a few times, but her pack members didn’t act like this. Why is she acting so differently? I stare down at her, wishing I could get all the answers, but I also know it would ruin whatever rela
Trinity POV *** Two years later *** “You look amazing.” A smile erupts from me as I turn and face my parents and brother while they walk into the bedroom. Bright smiles adorn my parents’ faces and my brother cracks a small grin, which I’m still not used to seeing. Through the years growing up, he usually would carry a look of frustration and irritation when dealing with me. But now, he has slowly won the pack over, and they have accepted him as the pack’s alpha. It wasn’t a small thing, either. A few of the pack members held out for what felt like forever. In the end, his heroic actions in various battles, including saving a group of small children, won them over. They couldn’t deny it any longer. My brother deserves the alpha title. His continued effort to improve his alpha skills and knowledge has also helped show everyone he is the right person for the job. I carefully step forward, making sure not to step on the floor length ornate robe. “You made it. I’m so hap
Lance POVMy heart pounds as fear consumes me. It isn’t time yet. The baby shouldn’t be coming now. Something is wrong. I know it. With Trinity in my arms, I run through the mansion towards the front door. The doctors had been preparing a special delivery room in the mansion, so she wouldn’t have to leave. But it isn’t ready yet. They thought they had more time. “UGH!!!!” Her body tightens in my arms while her hands cradle her stomach. Pain, like I’ve never felt before, shoots through our bond and my body. My knees almost buckle as her scream echoes down the hall. I’ve been in plenty of battles and have been wounded many times, but this almost stops me in my tracks. I’ve already told the medical staff we are coming. My gaze stays focused ahead as a couple of staff walk into the hall. I shout, “Open the door!”Bethany and her parents run beside me. Bethany caresses the top of Trinity’s head. “Everything will be alright. They know what they are doing. You are in the b
Trinity POV “How are you doing? You are smiling. Does it mean things are going well?” I ease down in the dining room chair across the table from Bethany. My hand caresses the side of my large baby bump. I almost thought there were two in there, but the doctor has proved to me there is only one, really large pup. A shiver runs through my body. Hopefully, there won’t be any complications when the time comes. Bethany glances up from her plate of breakfast food and nods. “Luckily, things are going better. I’m still not able to eat with everyone in the dining hall, but the doctor thinks I can ease myself into it soon. One good sign is seeing the male staff doesn’t cause me to flinch anymore. I’m so thankful for the King allowing his friend to come and help me. When the doctor first arrived, I was too afraid of him, and all men. But I’m so much better now.” She has come a long way but has so much farther to go. Her scars are deep. “Good. Regardless of where you are at, I wi
Lance POVThe scent of blood and sweat, along with something rotten, assaults my nose and has me wishing I would have brought something to counteract it. Trinity marches beside me, but the stench doesn’t seem to affect her. Her eyes are fixed on the door a short distance ahead of us. Muffled screams of agony seep out from under the solid metal door, while the determination in her gaze never wavers and stays strong. Our heavy footsteps echo through the corridor, signaling the end is coming soon. In a hushed tone, I huff, “I’ll handle the interrogation. There is no need for you to put yourself in danger. You have…”Her lip twitches as she steps ahead of me and grabs the door handle. With steam rolling off her, she growls, “I’m fine. You don’t need to worry.”She yanks the door open and lets it slam against the wall before she storms inside.If I have thought the stench was bad in the hallway, it is nothing compared to the overwhelming foul smell in the dingy room. Blood
Trinity POVPeople. Everywhere. My feet slowly drag along the cement floor as I make my way through the bunker. Every spot has been converted into a hospital area. The medical staff have packed beds in any place where one will fit. Each patient has the same symptoms as the next. As soon as the white mist got near them, they collapsed.Luckily, all the medical staff had gotten to the bunker in time before any explosions happened or any chemicals were released into the air. I still have heard nothing from my father regarding his pack, but I’m going to assume the same thing has happened there. I silently pray to the moon goddess he got all the medical staff safely in the bunker before the chemical attack started. My stomach churns, and a sense of dread gnaws at me. If the goal was to break Alpha Derrick out of his cell, his brother has gone through all this and has come up short. The lycans had prepared for this and were waiting. Anyone stepping close to the dungeon or the al
Trent POV My father’s voice booms in my head. “The King and Queen are under attack!” My stomach sinks. It can only mean one thing. The wait is over. Seconds later, a howl reverberates through the training grounds, and my head whips around in its direction. Luckily, after healing me with my sister’s blood, I feel like a kid again. My energy is off the charts, and I seem to have a spring to my step, even when I’m angrily stomping around. I turn back to the field full of warriors. “This is it. We have known this is coming. Use your training and don’t let them get to the pack house. They must be stopped at all costs.” My alpha voice confidently roars out with my last sentence. It doesn’t hold the force and authority it will once I officially take my title and go through the ceremony, but it is still a command they must follow. The large group nods before turning towards the warning cries. Through the pack link, my father barks orders and the group scatters in all dir
Trinity POVSeveral weeks have gone by without an incident. The information the King had gotten must be wrong, but I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. This isn’t over yet.Everyone in the two packs was getting restless and wanted out of the bunkers, so my father and the King had no choice but to allow it. Neither of them wanted to agree. The two could have stood their ground, but they didn’t have a solid reason to deny the people’s demands. Plus, everyone was lashing out at each other. Being locked up for a few weeks, even though both bunkers are fairly large, was getting on everyone’s nerves. If they had to stay down there much longer, there would have been a fight within packs. Something tells me they will regret their requests. Lance tightens his arm around my bare back and pulls me closer to his broad chest. “Babe, what is wrong? Are you not feeling well? Is there something wrong with the baby?” The corner of my mouth curls downward as I shake my head and s
Trinity POV“Why do you need more blood? Is something wrong with me?” A flicker of fear takes hold of me, and my throat tightens. “Is there something wrong with the baby?”Please don’t let there be anything wrong with my pup. Please. The Queen looks up from her table full of medical supplies and shakes her head. Confusion fills her eyes. “No. Nothing is wrong. I’m wanting to see if I can isolate and reproduce the qualities in your blood which provide the healing powers to my son, your brother, and Bethany. If I can isolate what makes your blood different from others, I can generate enough for whatever may come our way.”My eyebrows knot together as I tilt my head and stare at her. “I don’t understand. Yes, my blood heals people faster, both lycans and werewolves. But what does that have to do with trying to isolate the reason for it?”She gives me a faint smile and a soft chuckle. “Is your pregnancy having this much effect on your thinking?”I scrunch my eyebrows closer
Lance POV“Are you sure?”I glance across the desk at my father as he rests his elbows on his desk and drums his fingers together. The slight smirk and spark in his eyes dare me to answer incorrectly. Taking a deep breath, I reluctantly shake my head. “I don’t know. I’ve been coming home late and leaving early to avoid her as much as possible. She has said nothing.”He raises an eyebrow. “Has she even been awake to say anything?”I shift nervously in the chair as he stares at me. His gaze is like a spotlight I don’t want to be under. After a few seconds, I slowly shake my head. “I think she has been asleep.”He snorts and rests his arms on the desk. “I don’t think ‘think’ will work. If she is anything like your mother, she has been awake and waiting to see what you will do. She has probably called her parents and has gotten all the information she wants about the attack and her brother already. There is nothing to hide or sneak away from. If she was going to go to her fa
