“Channing doesn’t have a girlfriend! You people are just wasting my time,” Tiffany snapped.
“Uh, whatever you say Tiffany! Are we all ready to go?” Beck asked.
“Yep!” Cassidy said as they got up to leave.
“WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING?” Tiffany screeched.
“Baby, have you seen my leather jacket?” Calypso asked Channing. Tiffany watched on confusedly since everyone else had chosen to ignore her.
“Which one baby girl? You have like ten of those things,” Channing teased. Tiffany’s eyes widened.
“SHE’S YOUR GIRLFRIEND?” Tiffany screamed.
“Would you shut up already!” someone shouted inside the pack house, followed by snickers from the different pack members, Calypso and Channing included.
“I want the white one with the golden studs,” Calypso told Channing.
“I think it’s at the apartment. We ca
Channing got up and looked around, his eyes landing on the two girls he had in his bed. Sleeping on the couch was uncomfortable, but he’d do anything for them. Calypso and Cassidy had passed out together, so he carried them to his room.He knew they would appreciate waking up together.He couldn’t help but smile when he noticed that they were hugging each other. Even in their sleep they were close. While he was in love with Calypso, he treated Cassidy like a little sister. She had even commented that he treated her as more of a brother than Isaiah himself, but he couldn’t help it.She’s special to Calypso and Calypso was everything to him.He quietly left the room, bothered by his thoughts as something was nagging him. While they’d come back around three, he hadn’t been able to sleep. It was now a little before six as he made his way downstairs. He wasn’t surprised to hear movement. The pack was
“From the beginning! It is a VERY BIG part of your life, and the longer you wait to tell her, the more devastated she’ll be. If you want, I can offer you reassurance that I’ll talk her into not leaving you,” Cain smirked.“That would be nice,” Channing chuckled.Cain patted his back. “You worry too much Henson. My sister won’t hate you as much as you think, trust me.”“I guess! Did you find out anything on the vampires?” Channing asked. He and Cain have wanted to surprise Calypso with news on her vampire family, but they couldn’t track them.“Nah! It’s like after she was taken from them, they disappeared. I know it has something to do with how Tyson got her in the first place. He must’ve threatened them or something,” Cain said thoughtfully.“Wouldn’t be the first time,” Channing scoffed. He and Tyson were the worst of enemies.&
“Hello?” Samantha said as she answered her phone. She didn’t recognize the number.“Hey Sammy,” Calypso replied. There was shuffling and a loud thud before anything else was said.Calypso burst out laughing. “Did you just fall?”“Pssh no! Oh my God Cally! It’s so good to hear from you! I’ve been SO WORRIED! How dare you leave without saying anything!” Samantha scolded.“I left you a letter, so technically, I did say something,” Calypso giggled.“A letter doesn’t speak,” Samantha retorted.“You’re still an idiot I see,” Calypso teased.“You sound a whole lot more confident. Hell, you sound happy,” Samantha noted.“I am! I’m safe where I am by the way. I was just calling to tell you that and to check up on you guys,” Calypso replied.“We miss you so much! Jordan is around som
“I LOVE YOU CC!” they shouted, hugging each other as they laughed.Cassidy had dyed Calypso’s hair blue – a blue that was a replica of her best friend’s eye colour. She knew it was Calypso’s favourite colour, and apparently Calypso had the same idea. She dyed Cassidy’s hair silver. While silver is a sensitive element for werewolves, it’s Cassidy’s favourite colour as well, and Calypso had gotten it right.“I can’t believe how well we know each other!” Calypso smiled.“I can’t believe we’re matching with our bikinis! It’s almost ridiculous,” Cassidy laughed. Calypso only noticed then.“Oh goddess!” Calypso giggled.“Let’s dry our hair and see what it really looks like,” Cassidy suggested.They did just that. Calypso’s hair is waist length, while Cassidy’s only reaches halfway down her back. They blew
Calypso’s eyes widened as she took in the midnight eyes staring back at her. While the growl was ferocious, the emotions in the eyes were confusion, love, and lust. She couldn’t believe it, and her pendant was still glowing.She wasn’t the only person who couldn’t believe it.“Well, what do you know,” the pendant spoke.“You mean you knew nothing about this?” Calypso replied.“Nope! Do you think I would tell you otherwise if I knew about this?” the pendant replied. Calypso was still shell shocked.“Did Channing just claim Cally as is his mate?” Cassidy pierced the incredulity.“I believe he did,” Cain confirmed.“How?” Calypso whispered.“Your wolf is close. I can almost feel her presence,” Channing told her with a smile as his eyes gra
They all turned to find Nathan standing at the patio door.“NATHAN!” Calypso and Cassidy squealed, running up to hug him. He chuckled as he hugged them both back.“What in the actual fuck is going on?” Channing linked the guys.“We don’t know. They look so happy to see him,” Beck replied.“You don’t say,” Cain said dryly.“Why aren’t they afraid of him? And what’s he doing here?” Isaiah asked.“How about you stop asking each other questions and find out?” Ivy linked all of them. They looked at her in shock.“What? Did you really think I don’t know about our beloved Werewolf Prince?” she asked.“You know about him?” Cain asked
“What do you mean?” Cassidy was the one to ask.“Tyson lied! Firstly, there have been no reports of a rogue attack on vampires in years now and I know this because I know everything that happens in our world, even rogue related. Secondly, even if the rogues attacked the vampires, they wouldn’t have won against them. Like I just said, that particular group of vampires is badass. They could defeat the rogues in their sleep with their limbs tied up. Thirdly, and most importantly, everyone knows that Tyson hates rogues. You were technically a rogue when you were with the vampires, so why would he ‘rescue you’ of all people?” Nathan pointed out. Silence washed over the room as everyone took in his words.“On top of that, your mate here and your brother have lied to you this entire time,” Nathan told Calypso, while staring straight at Cain and Channing. As the Werewolf Prince, he could access any wolf’s thoughts, ex
“Would you calm down already? This is only happening tonight,” Nathan chuckled.He, Cassidy, Cain, and Calypso were chilling on Cassidy’s bed at three in the morning because Calypso had woken them up. She was stressing about Killian, her date with Channing, and about meeting Channing’s parents later that day.Nothing from the previous day had really settled in with her and she felt like she was suffocating from her thoughts. She called in the three of them because besides Channing, they were the other people that could help to calm her down. Channing wasn’t available since he’d disappeared without saying anything, so she had to settle for them.“I can’t calm down Nathan! I’m going insane,” she groaned.“Well, if it makes you feel any better, you look insane,” Cassidy teased.“No, it doesn’t make me feel any better,” Calypso deadpanned as they laughed.&
That was the last straw and Phillip commanded the wolves to attack. The pack members watched on in amazement from their hiding places as the Werewolf Prince and Princess took on the rogues by themselves.“Are we even needed here?” Harlan joked lowly, causing silent laughter amongst everyone.It wasn’t long before the rogues were down to half. As Killian had suspected, Phillip had a backup plan as more rogues showed up. Harlan’s question was answered when it started to look like there were too many for the royal siblings to face.And so, the pack came out of hiding to join the fight.Phillip was acting on intel he’d received from his spies and The Assembly of Warriors, but as he watched the fight before him, he realized that he’d been deceived. The intel he’d received led him to believe that this was a fight he could win.And he finally understood then why the crown was never meant to be his.He’d lived in Julio’s shadow for as long as he could remember, and he knew what the people thou
Killian turned to Nathan. “Are you ready to take him on and take the crown?”Nathan nodded. “As I’ll ever be.”Killian turned back to Hunter. “Any sighting of Jeremiah?”Hunter linked Wayne who was at the border before responding. “According to Wayne, he doesn’t seem to be with the group.”“So, how are we going about this?” Cassidy asked.“Well, one can only assume Phillip rallied up some rogues. If that’s the case, we take them out. If, by some off chance, he’s rallied the royal pack, then we only knock them out. They would be under his command, and as King, I’d be able to break it,” Nathan took charge.“Then there’s no need to involve the Lycans. I’d like for them to remain a secret for as long as we can keep the secret. The werewolves will take this fight. You’ll relay the instructions to them,” Killian told the Werewolf Prince.“We’ll also lay back and watch,” Zen added on behalf of the vampires.Killian linked the pack, asking the werewolves to meet him outside. Thanks to Cain’s
Back at Calypso’s pack house, the weather was changing. The skies were unexpectedly darkening, something that thrilled Calypso for whatever reason. She headed to her room to change, before heading outside.Noticing her change in outfit, Cassidy was confused. “Cals, why are you in your training gear?”Calypso shrugged. “Haven’t trained in a while.”It had been almost a year.Cassidy made the realization too. “Huh, guess we can go for some rounds. I’ll be back.”Calypso decided to stretch while waiting for her sister. Word was getting around to the pack members as they gathered around to wacth. Cassidy joined her in stretching just as word got around to Nathan, Cain, and Zen.“Isn’t this an unfair fight?” Zen questioned.“They’re both fantastic fighters in their human forms. The fight becomes uneven if Cally shifts,” Cain corrected.Nathan was particularly excited to see his mate fight. He’d only seen her fight a handful of times, and never against an opponent as powerful as Calypso. No
Jordan sat in the dark, completely exhausted. His wolf had finally settled down, but he found himself feeling empty. Something didn’t feel right. He felt like he’d been played somehow, but couldn’t think of how he even came to that conclusion.He tried to think about why his wolf had lost control, and the beast had shut him out. His pack had gone into hiding, and his memories were filled with a woman he couldn’t recall the name of.He just knew that she meant the world to him.And yet he didn’t feel a mate pull to her.In fact, he felt the very opposite. He felt mateless, like there was still someone out there for him. Something about the notion unsettled him, and the harder he thought about why that was, the more his headache worsened.What he didn’t know was that Amaya had managed to manipulate his memories of Samantha, with help from the Moon Goddess. With Samantha no longer being his mate, they felt that he didn’t need to remember her.Jeremiah arrived at the Twilight Moon Pack an
Elsewhere, the Grey family had just arrived at the area where Amaya’s pack used to be. The older woman felt her heart constrict at the loss she experienced when she was last here. Edward reached out to hold her hand, squeezing it.“How come there’s nothing here?” Samantha asked as they stared out at the nothingness.Amaya sighed. “That’s probably my fault. I lost everyone important to me that day, except you three, and out of anger, I lashed out and cursed the land. I don’t doubt that people tried over the years to occupy the land, but my spell would’ve eventually driven them away.”Killian touched his mother’s shoulder out of comfort. “Did you guys ever find out who attacked the pack?”Edward shook his head. “We’ve had our theories over the years, but no concrete evidence ever led us down a certain path.”“What about Hans’ descendants?” Kill
They arrived to an empty pack house, unaware that everyone had been instructed to steer clear. They searched the house, finding it strange that the massive pack had disappeared. It wasn’t until they got outside that they were truly mystified.“Where did everyone go?” Vera asked her mate.He was about to respond when his sense caught the high-speed arrow headed their way. He managed to dodge it and get Vera behind him at the same time. There were many more arrows shot their way, and he realized they were under attack.“Go back inside,” he told Vera.He didn’t question why she willingly complied as he was focused on defending his sister’s home. “Whoever you are, show your face.”Instead of a face, a dagger was flung his way, and soon the daggers replaced the arrows. He dodged them all with ease before a group of vampires he’d never before encountered came out of the woods.“Is t
He had locked himself away in the war room, and Vera sighed to herself when she realized that he hadn’t paid her any attention in a while. She couldn’t complain though – not when she knew that he was holding things in.A lot had happened since Calypso had come back into his life, and things were already shaky even before she did. It had only been a couple of months since they’d gotten married, and with the vampire kingdom struggling with unrest, it was almost a reflection of their relationship.She loved Zen with her entire being, that much she’d never contest, but she found herself curious about what life would’ve looked like had she been mated with a normal vampire. Things with Zen had been passionate from the moment they met, but he’d always carried a burden with him.A burden she finally had unravelled before her.There was a lot happening around them, but she was grateful for it all – grateful
While rooms were being prepared for them, Killian led his parents to his office, while Samantha grabbed Calypso’s hand, leading them outside. Calypso understood that Samantha needed someone to talk to, and in that moment she was that person.“I’m so confused,” Samantha started off.“I can just imagine,” Calypso commented.“It makes sense, but at the same time it doesn’t you know? I mean, what the hell is a Lycan? There’s so much going on and I’m just so lost,” Samantha panicked.“The first thing you’re going to do is breathe, and then you’re going to listen to me ok?” Calypso told her.She nodded before Calypso fully let her in on everything. Now that it was clear which side Samantha was on, Calypso knew that she would need to know everything, especially with the looming danger everywhere.Samantha sat, listening intently. Calypso filled her in on the g
Jeremiah felt like his life stood still. For the first time since his father has said it, it settled on him that his son was gone, but what his mate was saying terrified him even more. He knew many people with blue eyes, but none like Calypso and his son.“The girl had blue eyes like Xavier’s?” he questioned.“She told me what you did to her. They told me that they had you held hostage, and when I tried to protect Xavier, her mate knocked me out. When I woke up, Xavier was gone,” she explained.Jeremiah’s head was spinning as he tried to make sense of what she was saying. According to her, Calypso and Killian had come to fetch Xavier, and they did so while they had him hostage, and yet all he could remember was coming to the castle straight from the wedding.Nothing made sense to him.However, how else would his mate have known about Calypso if she wasn’t telling the truth?“Somebody i
