#Chapter83I took in a vast amount of air, struggling to catch my breath. My heart was racing at the speed of light, pounding against my chest. I could barely put my response in to words. It was as if I had forgotten everything.Starring at me, Jason eagerly and nervously waited for my response. Refusing to string him along in this silent battle, I mouthed the word I wanted to say but again, not a sound left me. Dammit, I need some water. I tried again. In a cracky, unwanted and unattractive voice, I said the word I wanted to say."YES."*******It felt as though butterflies were destroying my insides. A normal night like this was turned into one of the most amazing nights that I will never forget."Where are we going?"Jason was practically dragging me away from the main house and into a completely different direction. I looked down at my free hand, admiring the dazzling diamond that rested on my ring finger.He pulled me through the woods until we emerged in a
#Chapter84"Eeeeeeee." Jess's high pitched voice squealed into my ear.She gripped my hand, her eyes ogling the ring before she squealed out again from the sight she was seeing."Its beautiful." I smiled."Its fucking gorgeous, oh my god." She carried on. "Is this why you two disappeared last night?" Her eyebrow raised."Yeah. Sort of. He proposed in the garden.""So romantic." Jess being overly dramatic, she placed her hand over her heart and faked a tear.I picked up my bag and began tossing my clothes and toiletries in to it. Jess picked up my shoes and placed them into my bag. Today, we were heading back home and I was happy to be back where its familiar and I couldn't wait to give my mom the great news.Pulling my eyes away from the diamond, I looked toward the opening door. His eyes locking directly on me, I smiled at him, mentally enthusiastic about his return from his run."Ready?" I couldn't understand why but my heart skipped a beat when he stood
#Chapter85JESS POVMy back pressed firmly against the wall, I closed my wry eyes in hopes that this was all dream or hallucination. Opening them back up, I realized this was all very real.Two pairs of eyes watched me in anticipation of my next move. What can I do? Where can I go? The only reasonable exit was being blocked by this...monster.Truthfully, I probably wouldn't take that exit, even if I was given the opportunity to do so. The house was probably full of unidentified creatures lurking in the halls.Maybe the window? Hell I can afford to break a limb or two.A conversation between Aniyah and Brent was continuing on but all I could hear were mumbles and slurs. Sort of the sound Charlie brown's parents made when they spoke.A aching pain shot up my spine when I backed up against the wall when eyes suddenly switched to me again.I should have kept my ass in Philadelphia. ANIYAH POVSuddenly my bedroom was now a hot box full of disbelief and fear. N
#Chapter86Well I wanted the secret to come out but not like that. Leaving the room in complete silence, Brent scowled at Keira and Jess stood in the corner, obviously confused."Um I dont belong to anyone." Jess's fiery attitude came into play."Aniyah didn't want to believe it neither when we told her that she belong to Jason.""What?" She snapped. "They are together because they like each other.""At first, that wasn't the case." Keira spoke. "They got together because of that little bond that was kicking their asses.""Doesn't make sense.""Have you not noticed the weirdness between you two?" Keira asked."What? No. Not..really.""Have you ever thought 'hey, why does this dude hate me? He doesn't even know me that much.'"Looking toward Brent, she began to mentally question the things Keira was saying. Realization of all finally beginning to sink into her mind."I just thought he was a dick."Brent growled at her, forcing Jess to step deeper in
#Chapter87JASON POVI was all too eager to take my mate up to our bedroom and relax after such an exhausting trip. Well, relaxing was not really my goal. Maybe after. Everyone entered and disappeared off to settle in.I followed my mate up to our room, my eyes drawn onto her wide bust and firm hips. Then it hit me. That smell. A toxic stench of an unwelcome intruder. I grabbed my mate. She looked at me. I shoved her behind me to protect her.Jason?" Keira walked out of the kitchen."Take her and Jess to my room." I ordered."Whats wrong?" Aniyah questioned.Un willing to answer anymore questions, I allowed Keira to guide her up to my room where I know its safe for her.Brent, Aaron, Zeiden-We are close. I could sense them not to far from here.I was never fond of intruders on my land but in my home? That was just a fucking disaster waiting to happen.Where the fuck is it? I reached into the link.Office Alpha. Someone responded.I ran up the s
#Chapter88JESS POVI've listened to Kiera and Aniyah struggle to explain the unbelievable but despite all the answers, I was still lost for words.Today was the day that I, Jessica Parks, witnessed the most unbelievable of things. Werewolves, vampires, witches, and all the like. Im starting to miss Philadelphia and my mother ten times more now.I walked into my given room, closed the door and picked up my bag. It was way too creepy to stay here. I guess everything was better left a secret. Now I see why its said never go looking for what you dont want to find.I tossed some things into the bag. Mental flashes of those dark, demonic eyes playing repeatedly in my mind.Things began to add up quickly. The reason the guys disappeared constantly. Those gashes and marks that were scattered in Brent's room yesterday night. I cringed at the thought of my body being used as a scratching post for their pleasure.Then there was the you belong to him assumption. They had stru
#Chapter89Wide eyed, stunned, and astonished, I stood motionless. I was almost unable to move a single muscle of mine. Connected to my full lips... were his. Pressed against my frail, frigidity body was his hard, masculine frame.My mind was yelling to me that he was indeed a monster. That he was not human. That he had the ability to remove me from existence in seconds with only his bare hand. However my ignorant body was apprising me that he was what we desired so badly before we found out what he truly was. A werewolf.After a mental debate resulting in my body overcoming my mind's warnings to flee, I kissed him back. I stupidly kissed the beast back. Sensing my comfort into it, our contact turned a little more aggressive. A simple, innocent kiss turned into a tug of war for dominance. Obviously he succeeded in that challenge.The door slammed shut and he whisked me deeper into the bedroom. He held me up, carrying me as if I weighed nothing to him. As if I was light as
#Chapter90 Jess and BrentI couldn't fight the gasp that escaped my mouth. The unexpected statement that I did not see coming from him.Hell yeah you can taste me!Struggling to fight the temptation to burst out and urge him to do as he pleased with my body, I played it cool."O-okay."Giving him the 'okay' was like giving a chubby kid the key to a safety box filled with delectable desserts. Not a really good idea. A devilish smirk grew, revealing something a little different in him. A change. As if another persona was present.I watched as the hazel pools that were staring at me began to take on a dark, inky color. Darkness took over those once beautiful eyes. Now, they were those charcoal orbs that I had the pleasure of meeting earlier this day.I was painting heavily now. Not from the pleasure but from the little nervousness that I was feeling.Those lips. I watched him as the corner of his lips rose to form a devilish grin. Did he enjoy this? Did he enjo
#Chapter143Epilogue 3 months later...Jason stood on the balcony that overlooked their rear field of their home. He watched silently yet observantly as Aniyah and Jess took part in an intense training session with Maya. Once Maya proceeded to finish up their session, Jason made his way to the field where he met the exhausted yet proud girls. "Alpha." Maya greeted as she picked up her things. "Maya." Jason nodded. "Thank you.""Of course. You should be proud of these girls. They are good.""Thank you." Jess teased. "With a few more lessons, I will be able to beat your ass.""Yeah right." Maya took off running, laughing as Jess ran to keep up."How are you feeling?" Jason turned to Aniyah. "Well besides the burn in my legs, I'm good. I don’t know, I think these workouts are strengthening me." Aniyah grinned."You look stronger." Jason could not help but admire the curves that her work outs were creating. From her firm yet soft arms to her sculpted
#Chapter142Where do we start? Aniyah sat at the edge of her bed as her focus remained on the floor.Look at him. She wanted to look at her father however she could not find the strength to do it.As Aniyah contemplated on whether to look in her father's eyes, Christopher was struggling to find the right words to start with.He knew it was years since the last time he talked to his only daughter. Now, he was not sure where to even start."I know this is a lot." Christopher noted."A lot is not enough to explain this." Aniyah chuckled."I know." Christopher exhaled. "I'm a...vampire. I guess that is why it’s too weird to look at me?"Christopher toyed, even though it bothered him that his daughter could not look into his eyes."That is not why." Her eyes strayed away once more.Aniyah admitted why. She admitted to her father how looking at him made her afraid. It was the thought of seeing him come and go again that made her afraid to confront him."I kno
#Chapter141Aniyah began to rise from the bed when she heard the bedroom door open.Jason, worried about the distressed look on her face, sat beside her as he motioned for her to lie back down."What's wrong?" Jason asked."I'm good."Aniyah continued to push herself up, her face as emotionless as she could make it. Even though her body was screaming with pain and discomfort."What hurt?""Everything." She chuckled.Shit. She thought. Even laughing hurts."It feels like that pain you get the day after a workout." Aniyah rubbed her arms. "It’s like the day after a Maya workout."Jason smiled."Ouch. You must feel like shit." He began running his fingers across her legs. Applying enough pressure that left her groaning from the mixture of pain and pleasure that came from his massage."Speaking of Maya, how is everyone? Where is my mom?""Everyone is getting the attention they need. Maya. Kiera. All safe. Brent is making sure Jess is safe. Carl is..."
#Chapter140Jason stood at the patient room door, watching from a far as the doctor wrapped the bandage wrap around Aniyah's arm."Thankfully you did not need stitches." The doctor sealed the end of the wrap with a strip of tap before she finished it with a smile."Thank you." Aniyah nodded."Come back in a few weeks and we will make sure everything is going good. Okay?""Yes."The doctor turned away and began heading toward the door."Thank you." Jason spoke."Of course Alpha. Make sure she gets some rest. I'm sure the entire ordeal took a toll on her.""I will."The doctor took leave; leaving Jason alone with the woman he had searched so long for."How are you feeling?" Jason asked her, watching as she rubbed her hand across her arm."Better." Aniyah slid from the bed before Jason placed her back without a word. "What are you doing?""You need some rest. I would advise you stay here.""I'm not tired." Aniyah slid from the bed; her body maneuv
#Chapter139"Is that all you got?"Carl crawled to his feet; wiping the spilled blood that oozed from his bottom lip as he stood up tall.He raised his hands; balling his fist around his silver knuckles he had made for a time like this.His victim, a hostile vampire, had also taken a few vicious attacks that Carl had inflicted on him."I’ll be finished here in a minute girls." Carl exhaled with exhaustion."Are you sure about that?"Carl had two remaining vampires left. He knew he did not have the strength to take them both on but he was set on trying.He was willing to take another hit. He was willing to take on a few more blows until he was down."You are a strong human." One stood over Carl's fallen body, smiling in triumph as his prey laid weak beneath his boot."Did you think your gadgets could take us on?"He kicked the devices from Carl's hands."When will you idiots understand that we are the superior species?"Carl began to stutter. Babbl
#Chapter138Jason caught wind on what Carl and Brent were up to. He just needed to give them enough time to get them done. "Have you ever dreamed of being on top of the world?" Lucifer continued. "Unstoppable. Respected.""You want to be feared?" Chris questioned."Fear. Respected. Same thing." Lucifer chuckled, sharing a laugh with his right hand, Liz."It’s not." Jason noted. "I rather be respected for what I do and who I’m then feared for being a damn monster."Lucifer was a little surprised by the comments of his guest. He expected them to oppose in the beginning, however he thought they would be a little more optimistic once he offered his speech.Even though he did not admit it, he was growing very impatient with the meeting. He wanted-he needed- them to see it his way."This is pointless." Liz intervened.She thought they could strive without the help of the wolf and vamps. To her, they were nothing but simpletons who she knew would get in the way.
#Chapter137Carl crawled his way across the roof; his steps slow and careful hoping he would not go plummeting through the rusted and torn roof of the warehouse."How are you walking so easily?" Carl glanced over his shoulder, watching as Brent walked so carefree."Because my fall won’t be deadly." Brent glanced over the edge of warehouse, taking notice of the distance between them and the ground."True."Carl found an area where he could set up the little equipment they could carry with them."A.J is still circulating the perimeter." Brent informed."Good." Carl noted. "This shouldn’t take long.""And what is it that we are going?" Brent asked, wondering as he waited just a few feet away from the target. "I can hear them.""Who?""Jason. Chris. Kareem and....Lucifer." Brent snarled; his eyes darkening at the thought of taking on the man who had taken what he had claimed."I get it. You want to kill him but don’t go all crazy on me now." Carl advised. "
#Chapter136"My-my wife?"The room became overwrought. It was as if a dark, impenetrable cloud had rolled in, carrying a storm that was strong enough to rip through every person.That storm was Lucifer."What have you done?!" Christopher's fangs showed Lucifer that he was ready to tear through him. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"Describing the anger that ripped through Christopher and Kareem was impossible. The idea, the thought of losing the woman they had loved left them stuck in a trance they could not shake.Kill him. They thought.Furry crossed their faces as they hissed violently as they sought to charge."Wait a minute." Lucifer reached into his pocket. "Aht aht."He warned; his hand submerged in his pocket before he retrieved a small, indefinite item."Wait." Jason ceased them before he turned to Lucifer. "What’s that?""Well. It’s a little detonator.""For?" Jason held back the desire to shift; the desire to run through Lucifer with a single snap of
#Chapter135"Is this even stable?" Kareem questioned as they stood outside of the longstanding, once abandoned warehouse.It was obvious the warehouse had seen its ware and tare. Weakened structures and broken windows. Stripped boards and paint as it stood with minimum support."Enough for them it seems." Christopher looked over the warehouse, watchful of any movement."This place has been abandoned for years." Jason scanned over the warehouse, wondering if his fiancé and the others were even inside. "We might have to take it easy here.""What do you mean?" Kareem wondered."This place seems to be standing on pins. Foul movement might bring this shit down.""I'm sure we can take it." Kareem rebelled.They held the strength and capability of taking a little weight."But can your mother or your sister?"Kareem stopped to reconsider. He knew his family could not bare such weight. Weight that could kill them; crushing them under the tremendous weight. "So
