Weddings.
They are said to bring about different emotions and feelings out of everyone involved.
The bride to be becomes bridezilla.
Her mother becomes too attached to her and the wedding planning.
Her father still doesn’t trust the soon to be son in law.
The groom secretly panics about everything his fiancée panics about.
His mother secretly wants to be in control of everything.
His father is stressing about the overall bill.
The Maid of Honour tries to keep the ship afloat.
The best man looks forward to the stag party and getting revenge on the groom for something that happened in the past.
The bridesmaids fight for the best look, even though they are all wearing more or less the same dress.
And not forgetting everyone else looking forward to the wedding drama.
Samantha Lion and Jordan Williams’ wedding was apparently not any different.
Jordan rubbed his
“How did you know?” Calypso whispered. Cain and Cassidy were just as curious to find out.“Because I know what it’s like to have that much responsibility,” Nathan offered a small smile.“It’s true! I am afraid of coming out as Alpha. I mean even facing the Warriors had me freaked out and all at first. My wolf is the Alpha in me, but we all know how she is. I wouldn’t be able to face anything or anyone without her,” Calypso explained.While all werewolves are able to communicate with their wolves, Calypso couldn’t. Her wolf would only make an appearance when threatened, but they wouldn’t communicate. Since her first shift, her pendant hadn’t spoken to her either.“You’re a great Alpha Cally-Cals. Besides, you can just tell her that you’re not going without us so that we’re there with you,” Cassidy pointed out.“Cass is right! Hell, even I&rsqu
Calypso had run the entire afternoon and night, and only made it back in the morning to find Nathan already waiting for her in her room. Cassidy and Ivy had already packed her bags for her, and everyone was ready to leave.“Are you ok?” he asked her.“I am now. Are we all good to go?” she asked.“Pretty much! Everything’s in the SUVs. We’re just waiting on you. I’ve packed you some food and you can nap on the way there. You’re travelling with me and Aiden, while Cass, Cain, and Harlan are taking the one SUV, and Bradley, Truman and Kevlar the other,” Nathan informed.“They’re coming along?” she asked in shock, in reference to the Warriors.Nathan chuckled. “Apparently they want in on the wedding drama.”She raised an eyebrow. “And Sam agreed?”“They’re Warriors. She can’t say no,” he reminded.“Oh!
“It’s me,” Calypso confirmed, grateful for the sunglasses that were covering her tear filled eyes.“Oh my god!” Samantha said before flinging herself at her. Calypso just about caught her as they held onto each other.Calypso had forgotten all about the call in that moment.“You look so amazing! I knew that you had it in you,” Samantha smiled as she wiped away her tears. Calypso took off her sunglasses so that she could do the same.“I know! You’re the one person who wanted me to see the potential in myself,” Calypso replied.You and Channing, her mind added.“And you have gray hair,” Samantha giggled, only to be met by sad sapphire eyes.“What’s wrong?” she panicked as Calypso’s eyes filled with tears.“Cally-Cals, how about you introduce us?” Cassidy spoke up. She knew Calypso was on the brink of a bre
The whole place was going haywire as everyone prepared for the arrival of the Alphas and their mates and dates. The Dark Moon Pack members merely watched on in amusement, with their Alpha and the Prince of the Werewolf Kingdom. Little Aiden was playing with the other children of the pack.“Aren’t I supposed to be helping?” Calypso asked them.Cassidy rolled her eyes at her. “I’m a bridesmaid. You don’t see me jumping up to help.”“Yeah, but I’m the Maid of Honour,” Calypso argued.“You’re also an Alpha Cals,” Nathan pointed out.“I know, but-” Calypso said before they cut her short.“YOU’RE NOT HELPING!”“Fine,” she mumbled, before the two Warriors they had come with joined them.“Anything?” Nathan asked them. He had sent them to find out whatever information they could on Killian’s sudden di
All heads turned to the door where the Alpha stood. He was a mess, and before anyone could blink, Calypso had him in a chokehold against the wall. They couldn’t believe she could even carry someone that heavy with one hand.While he was crazier and a little weaker, Tyson Cannon was still bigger than the average Alpha male.“How dare you even show your face here after what you did to my mate!” she told him menacingly.“It was two years ago and you are my mate. I’m so happy I found you,” Tyson managed to say before Calypso squeezed tighter.“Cally, you don’t want to do this,” Cassidy pleaded.“Oh, but I do! He killed my mate, and he’s still delusional!” Calypso spat.“You’re going to feel horrible about it later. Channing wouldn’t want this Cals,” Nathan tried.“He deserves the justice! He deserves to be avenged!” Calypso
“Uh, this is where my story gets a bit hard to tell. So anyway, we went out that night to celebrate, and Cassidy and I met Nate that night, but we didn’t know who he was. Apparently everyone else knew who he was. Anyway, the next day we were pretty hung-over, but as a pack, we decided to have a barbeque. I was with Cass when I finally decided to call Sam and Danny to let them know that I was safe. Every time I kept asking about Killian, they diverted the subject, and Cass lost it and called them out for it since I had them on speaker. It turned out that Killian had disappeared three weeks before I made that phone call, and they hadn’t bothered to send a search party after him,” Calypso continued.“That sounds dodgy,” Cecelia commented.“Cass and I thought the same thing. I didn’t trust the situation, and to this day, I still don’t trust them fully, even though I trust Sam a little more than I do Jordan. Anyway, Cass
“Well, go on then,” she encouraged.“It would seem that you have a thing for attracting the protection of royals,” Caiaphas commented.“What do you mean?” she frowned.“Spunky, I’m the Prince of the Vampire Kingdom,” Zen informed her. Her eyes widened.“You’re what?” she gasped.“I’m the Prince! The Revolution was started by me against my parents. I was meant to have already taken up the crown, but I can’t stand for the things they want me to do as King, so I started The Revolution against them. We haven’t been around because we’ve been underground. The Revolution has grown in size, but my parents started killing anyone who joined us, so we had to go into hiding,” Zen explained.“Wait, so you’re also a Prince?” Calypso asked. Zen nodded.“That is so cool!” she whispered excitedly, making them laugh.
Calypso watched him as she traced her fingers along his jaw. They were both such different people now, but that hadn’t really changed anything, or at least not the most crucial parts. She traced along the scar on his forehead, and it was enough to wake him up.“Hey,” she whispered.“I missed this sight,” he admitted.“What sight?” she scowled. He reached out to smooth away the creases on her forehead.“The sight of your eyes. They’ve gotten more beautiful over time. I didn’t think it was possible,” he explained. She blushed under his scrutiny.He caressed her cheek. “And my second favourite sight in the world.”“What are we doing Killian?” she sighed.“What do you think we’re doing?” he countered.“I think we’re very...” she trailed off.“Very what?” he scowled.“Never min
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
