             Janine couldn’t figure out what her son was thinking, let alone where he’d gone. The boy infuriated her for some days. Though she was more concerned about Emily. They found the girl’s phone at the lake house amid a mess. She prayed they were together, wherever they were. Janine was thankful that they found no blood at the scene.

             Alpha Haden, thank heavens, was a man who kept a finger on the pulse of his pack. That meant every morning he checked in with his Beta for news, and to deal with their private business.

             This meant Janine needed to do something while she waited for him. So when he finished with his things, he found her pacing and demanding that they continue their search. Embarrassed that he overheard most of the situation from o

    Damon’s phone rang, waking him up. “What? Talk to me.” He looked at the clock. Phone calls at three in the morning were never a good thing. “Sir, it’s Tommy. I’ve been here for three hours. The plane landed, and she wasn’t on the plane. I’ve checked she didn’t reschedule her flight. I tried her cell phone and there was no response. I tried contacting her several times over the last hour. I’m not sure how you want me to proceed.” Damon sighed in exhaustion, though he felt concerned too. Emily seemed so interested in this arrangement. Something must have happened. He’d need to call her and if she didn’t respond, he’d call her previous alpha. Someone must know what’s going on.&nbs

    “What do you mean, everything’s settled? James, you’re screwing with my life here. You’re abusing your power as an alpha. This could start a war, for fuck’s sake. When will you ever listen to me? I won’t be able to fix this disaster this time because I’m involved in the mess.” Emily searched around for her clothes. She couldn’t believe now what they’d just done, and it paled considering his words. Emily couldn’t get her mind wrapped around it all. Usually, she could work out what his intentions were, but not this time. She’d been completely and utterly sideswiped. “We need to talk.” That was all James had to say before he pulled her back to him and away from their clothing on the floor.&nb

    “Any response from young James?” Haden came up behind Janine and stood unnervingly close behind her. Janine felt very aware of him and couldn’t help but wonder why he did it. She knew he was aware of what he did. “No, and he’s not normally this impulsive.” Haden raised his eyebrow at Janine as she stepped away from him before turning to face him. “He usually has Emily or me, warning him of missteps he might encounter.” Haden sighed and shook his head. He didn’t comment on her strategic retreat, but continued to speak about her son. “What you’re saying is the boy never learned to think completely for himself. As an alpha, he must learn that all his actions and decisions have ramifications.

    Evan sat at his desk having a private mental meltdown. Without Emily to ask, he struggled to find everything within the encyclopaedia of notes she’d given him. The bloody thing was even cross-referenced. Still no word from the search groups. He’d found nothing in all those notes about where Alpha James would disappear to. They’d checked the local motels and several of the hunting cabins, but nothing. “Luna, Alpha Haden, can I help you with something?” He prayed they needed him for anything else but searching for Alpha James. Just so he could get away from the feelings of failure and incompetence. “Have you heard anything from the search parties?” Janine asked in a gentle voice. Evan thanked his lucky stars she wasn’t in that angry state anymore. It was rare to see her in a full-blown a

    James tossed his cell phone on the counter and looked out the kitchen window over the sink. His mother was now looking for him. Of course, she was. That was her job right now. How was he going to get everything back to where it needed to be? Nothing felt right, but his mother would make things worse by confusing the issues. He needed more time with Emily. Sex with her proved that. Even now, he wanted to experience it again. That never happened to anyone, not even Rebecca. He needed to figure out what was going on between them in his head and with her. She needed to know what she was doing would be a mistake for everyone one. But where did he start? How did he start? How did he tell her he’d never truly felt the need to mourn Rebecca? He’d tol

    Damon couldn’t get through to Emily and it worried him to no end. Now he tried to get in contact with the alpha of her pack and still no response. This was his last attempt to contact him before he did something drastic. Dialling the last number, he possessed for that pack. He contacted the private offices of the pack. It rang and for once didn’t go to voice mail. “Hello? Janine DeMarre speaking.” Janine hoped it would be James, but it dashed her hope when a western accent came through the phone line. “Good afternoon, Ms DeMarre. My name is Damon Forsyth. I’m the Beta of the Orian’s Forest Pack. I’m looking for Beta Emily LaMont or Alpha James DeMarre. Are either available?” “Good afterno

    Haden found his daughter finally with her latest lover, and he thanked the gods it wasn’t serious because the boy may be a gamma looking to be an enforcer one day. He was no alpha and not her true mate. For that reason, he took the day to pack her off back to their pack’s territory before she could further embarrass him. He worried about the next generation and their ability to function as leaders. His next problem was his obsession with helping Janine. No, the obsession wasn’t with helping; it was with her. She was his obsession, and he didn’t care that they’d started off insulting each other. He would fix this for both of their benefits. He promised himself that they would spend more time together after they found the chil

    James enters the bedroom he thought of as Emily’s finding her pacing the room. He knew that look on her face she’d given him that look many times when she wanted to know what he thought he was trying to prove after he’d done something she didn’t want to deal with. “You need to come clean on exactly what you want here and tell me upfront. I don’t understand what you think this will prove or how you’re going to stop unrest or even war between the two packs. Do you have any concept of what position you’ve now put me in? I have a verbal agreement with Damon, and I’m in jeopardy of reneging on it. How dare you be this selfish?” Emily stopped in the centre of the room and waved a finger at him as she threw these words at him.

I had to have written it. There’s no other way this could have worked. Now what do we have? GPS coordinates, wait. There’s another set. Maybe I went back to get the coordinates?” As she move about the page, a set of seven coordinates appeared. She took the flame away, but gasped. “There’s something else here. Hold, let me reveal it too.” Everyone moved in closer and watched an eighth GPS location appear. “Either location? Where’s does that lead to?” This stumped her for a moment. “We need to plug these into a GPS system and see where they all lead to. The first one isn’t anywhere near the others.” “Of course not. The first one is in Orion’s Forest Territory. They probably scattered the others around here. I recognize the general numbers f

    Finally, Asia’s plan came to fruition. Today, they would have their mating ceremony. Janine helped so much, with all the plans. She’d gone above and beyond when it came to their unique needs. But Asia now saw that it was safer for their packs to stay where they were. Penny now scared Asia with little comments, and her track record of being accurate with those comments was the reason.Asia watched the internet as information leaked out. Much of the speculation came from disbelievers and conspiracy theorists. The government and law enforcement had little to say, which only fuelled the debate more. Asia knew there was nothing to be done but to stay quiet and let the ruling council deal with it.Today was her mating ceremony, and it would be a good time in her life. It took long enough to get this far with Thomas and her pack. She wasn’t going to fool herself. There would always be someone commenting on the changes in a negative way.Those witnessing in person were minimal and all, but Ap

    Karl greets the Alphas as they file into the room he’s using as a study currently. Once they’re settled with tablets, notepads, etcetera, James opened the meeting. “Alright, I think we can skip the intro to the reason for this meeting. We all know why and who we are. Okay Karl, tell us what you have found.”“Thank you, Alpha De Marre. Yes, uh, this is extremely complicated, so please bear with me as I need to explain there’s far too much back story. First, I have received some upsetting news. The latest attack by the Fae was investigated by my life partner’s enforcement team. The entire team is missing. I want to leave and go help, but I have been told not to stay here to continue working. Second, there’s supposed to be a Fianna weapons expert coming, and they are now late. Now, what I found while translating the journal. Hold on, I missed a few disturbing facts.” Karl held up a smaller book. “All original surviving copies of the translation book for the Fae language at in the univers

    Karl now turned his attention to contacting his life mate, Pat. Everyone should be home. It was early there.He kept trying with no luck to connect with Pat. Karl didn’t like the feelings of isolation. Or that he didn’t know where Pat was.After some time, it forced him to decide to stop trying. He couldn’t reach anyone at home. It was as if the location was empty of life and that was far from normal. He took a break and found himself a drink and lunch. He could eat before stopping by the front desk to request that they explain how to find the room he was using to study the books in. When he identified the weapons, he did it under the view of the local arms master who ran James’ armoury. They worked together with attempting to understand what weapons killed which creatures. Some were pretty famous while others were far front known. He needed a person who understood lore and creatures from it. He knew languages used for writing magic spells and rituals. He wasn’t truly a specialist an

    “Morning Karl, I have a response from the council. The Fianna will send a representative out to assist you. I’m surprised they moved this quickly. They have requested we send them via a mage driven portal rather than flighting out there. You should see them after lunch. Let the front desk know where they will find you. We’ve arranged for their stay. Now, how is the translation coming? Those weapons can’t be handed over without an understanding of what their purpose and function is.” Mages were well ahead of the everyday man. Humans finally got video calling, mages always had that. They called it scrying and Karl used it now to contact his mentor. Who was within the grand walls of the great library? Mages had to have a mentor while they studied and proved themselves. “Thank you, that’s great news. I have most of it translated. Currently, I’m attempting to build a detailed catalogue. With entries about each weapon mentioned within the journal. After that, I must identi

    Asia met with Janine the next morning to organize her mating ceremony. Thomas and Haden couldn’t help with it since they needed them to help with the latest discovery. “So here we are. I think I have everything ready for you to look through. There’s even a checklist, so as we fill the binder, we know we haven’t missed anything. Now, so I can help direct you in the right direction. What did you have in mind?” Janine tried to give off a professional air. She ended her words and held her breath, waiting for Asia’s response. “Oh, well, I don’t want anything too complicated. Actually, Thomas and I have been talking about it and we realized that there’s no way we can get everyone we want here without going over the budget.” Asia peaked at Janine, unsure how she would react. Asia watched Janine’s face fall. “Oh, we still want a simple mating ceremony, but we want to live stream it to both territories. We’ll have two receptions later on. But it makes everything a hu

    “Okay, now you have to tell me who pushed you to do that. I want to thank them. It was perfect.” Emily sat in the bath with James and a glass of wine. She couldn’t see her official mate as she sat between his thighs with her back leaning against his chest. “I’ll start getting offended if you won’t believe me. It was my idea and others just helped. I didn’t like how much you were doing with the pups, pack, resort, and trying to get the mating ceremony setup. It was too much for anyone. I wanted you to relax and enjoy this time.” “You really have changed. A year ago, you wouldn’t have cared if I collapsed from exhaustion.” Emily was a little beyond tipsy now after the refreshments at the reception and drinks at the spa. She’d been careful, but they added up. James, too, was nicely mellowed out. They handed their pups off with a pack caregiver on duty for the night. “Yes, I would have. I relied on you far too much. I think if things hadn’t gotten to the extreme, thi

    You’d think mages would write everything down on paper and there would be hundreds if not thousands of people employed to look it up at the university. But that wasn’t the case. Computers hold their own kind of logical magic. People just accept that it’s a science. But Karl was aware of the rare instance when some sort of information made it into the hands and minds of those that needed to information to change the world.Here, Karl had the name of a mage, but no time period. They had an app for that. He sent the information about the approximate dates from the journal. Then he hoped for the best. If the name was in the database, he would receive that information soon enough. If it wasn’t, then he could proceed to a physical look up within the older written documents that had yet to be transferred into their version of a computer. Now he continued to translate the stories within the book. That’s what they were, stories. Each weapon had a story. No facts or statistics were t
