Cassidy was once again up early, keen to get the planning underway. She could hear some staff already moving to put things in place, and the last thing she wanted was to build the impression that she and Nathan were leaving everything up to them.She got showered and as she left the bathroom, Nathan stirred. He didn’t need to ask her to know what she was thinking. Instead, he too got up to get ready for the day, and she decided to wait for him.When he was done, the two of them headed out. They decided that it would be best to eat their breakfast in the kitchen with everyone else, something that surprised the staff. Once the initial awkwardness had passed, they settled into light conversations as Cassidy and Nathan got to know more about the other people living in the castle with them.Once they were all done eating, Nathan held a short meeting with them to confirm that they were all aware of what’s needed of them. Once everything was confirmed and set in place, they went their separa

He ran through the trees, chasing the scent. It was a peculiar scent, and he hadn’t caught it in weeks. He knew that it was his biggest lead in weeks, and that he couldn’t lose it. He masked his own scent, making sure to go undetected.The scent led him straight to a massacre. The blood was still fresh, and as he inspected the scene, he realized that different creatures had been slaughtered. It was the third massacre in three months, with some of his own people being victims.It was what brought the massacres to his attention.From their silence, he knew that the other species weren’t aware of what was going on just as yet, but because him and his kinfolk are connected, they all felt it the first time their people were brutally murdered.And he knew they were aware of the latest deaths too.He scouted the area, looking for any clues, but he found none. Much like the other two sites, there was nothing to point towards the possible murderer, or if it were just one to begin with.He need

From the moment he set foot into the castle, the hybrids in her stirred. She hadn’t even seen him, but she knew. She tried to avoid him as she’d been avoiding the other Alphas, but he specifically scented her out, stopping her from leaving the room.“I’ve found you again,” he said lowly.“Let go Tyson. I’m already trying to keep my cool as is,” she warned. Killian was somewhere else with Nathan, leaving her to face her enemy alone.“I’m not here to make you mad. I’m just checking up on my mate,” he insisted.She turned to him, eyes glowing a bright blue. “I am not your mate Tyson, and I’m getting tired of saying it.”“That’s where you’re wrong Calypso. Did it ever occur to you why you’ve had three mates in the first place?”And with that, he let go of her, vanishing into the crowd of other Alphas. She was seething, a bolt of electricity unexpectedly leaving her. That drew enough eyes her way, with Samantha taking her outside to calm her down.It didn’t work much, but Killian took over

The conference talks went well into the night, with the Alphas debating on how best to handle things going forward. While the gang thought that there were cliques amongst the Alphas, the debates proved that even if that is true, the Alphas were all choosing to speak their minds, despite what anyone else thought.They let Jordan go, counting on him to tell Jeremiah and Tyson not only what had happened to him, but what had happened at the conference as well. They had shared various strategies on how to handle the trio, but they hadn’t reached a conclusive result on the next step.Penelope and Moira had spent the time making sure that everyone had sufficient drinks and snacks, and when the Alphas opted to not take a dinner break, they had their food brought to them. The Alphas enjoyed everything about being hosted, including the menu.By the time the castle settled down, the gang met up in one of the empty rooms, where Amaya put up a barrier to keep them being heard from the outside. The

Cassidy and Remy were in charge of facilitating the sparring, with different Alphas taking on each other. The whole event was adrenaline charged as each Alpha sought to not only prove themselves, but save themselves the embarrassment of being beaten by anyone beneath them.They sparred for hours, with Cassidy and Remy going from bottom to top. There were some surprises along the way, with some Alphas finding themselves moving up in rank. It eventually came to Garrett, and he fought Nathan, eventually losing to him, but maintaining his spot beneath him.They’d left Calypso for last, which had the Alphas beyond baffled. “Are they suggesting that she’s better than the King? Isn’t she just a Princess?”“She may just be a Princess, but she’s a hybrid,” another Alpha reminded as the siblings circled each other.“Take it easy on me, will you? I still have the talks to facilitate,” Nathan linked his sister.She laughed before linking back. “Won’t even bring my full power. Might let you shine

Zen was immediately intimidated by the men and women around him. He may be royalty, but he knew that the men and women he was in the room with, had the power to take that away from him. They all eyed him, not a single one speaking up.“The men and women before you come from the prestigious families that have kept the vampire kingdom running behind the scenes for all these years. They all have something to lose by betting on you, but before we get to them, I need to teach you the history of the order,” Frazier told him, leaving the room.He assumed it meant that he had to follow, and he looked back to check if the other men were coming along, but they weren’t. Instead, he could hear the silence break as they all discussed their first impressions of him. He was too far gone to hear what they were saying, and eventually, they were out of earshot.He and his uncle walked for a while, before coming to the dead-end of one of the hallways – or at least he assumed it was a dead-end, until the

He ignored every call telling him to return.He was furious and confused, and just couldn’t deal with having to take any more orders. He needed to first run the anger out, because he knew it would work out better for him to not return in the mood he was in.All his life he had been brought up to be an Alpha, and for four years, he got to live that dream. But now, in one night, everything had been taken away from him in the blink of an eye.He could remember the look in the King-to-be’s eyes – taking away his Alpha lineage was personal for the man. He wasn’t sure yet how, or why, but that man enjoyed taking away his powers.He hadn’t seen his pack for weeks, couldn’t even trace them, until his powers were taken away from him. He could feel them somewhere in the castle, until his link to them was completely lost.Not only had he lost his power, but he’d lost his family as well.He grown up around those people, and he’d seen them through different stages of life. They’d seen him through

Samantha was frozen, despite what had just been said to her. She was breathing, but she couldn’t believe that he was finally standing before her, that he’d finally revealed himself. He didn’t say anything either, taking her in.Killian was suspicious of what he could sense between the two of them, and when no one was speaking, Calypso took control. “Who are you?”He turned away from his mate to look at her. “My name is Hale.”“And what are you Hale?” Killian asked him.Hale raised an eyebrow at him. “If I ask you the same question, will you furnish me with an answer?”Killian was cornered. “How can we trust what you’re saying? Why not stop the attack? How do we know you’re not one of the people who were a part of the attack?”“I’m fast, but not that fast. You know the attack is fresh. When would I have had time to clean up and show myself to you? Besides, my people got attacked too,” Hale replied.“And you did nothing to stop the attack?” Nathan asked him.“I had to be smart. I watche

Sage’s inquisitiveness was eating away at her. She never did well with just sitting still, and while she understood why she’d been brought where she was, the curiosity to find out where that was, was greater.She was going crazy with all the scenarios she’d already played in her mind, so she got up and tiptoed over to the door. She had no idea what awaited her outside of it, but nothing like that had ever stopped her before.She was met by a long and dark passageway, and she tried to listen out for any indication of life, but she found none. She had never wished for enhanced hearing much like she did in that moment.She left the room completely, heading down the passageway. All of the rooms she passed were locked, until she finally reached the last room. There was a fire going at the fireplace, but there was no one inside.She looked around the room and found that it was a mini library of sorts. She strode over to one of the shelves at the side of the room, running her hands on the sp

Tyson was sitting in the middle of the empty room, trying to channel his thoughts. He knew better than to question the process, despite it being years that it had been going on. It was just one of those weird things he learnt to make peace with.He had grown up being compliant, and that wasn’t going to change any time soon. He grew up knowing that for as long as complied, he would soon have everything he’s ever desired in life.The silence carried on for what felt like forever before smoke finally started to fill the room. He got up to and waited to be addressed as the door opened. The man walked in, walking right up to him, before putting his hand on the younger wolf’s shoulder.“My son.”Tyson bowed respectfully. “Father.”“I thought you’d bring your sister along,” the man spoke.“I have Isla on a different task right now. Things have changed a little since we last spoke,” Tyson replied.The man nodded. “I have been away for some time, but now I’m back. It’s time to kick things into

Antoinette was frozen in place, with those remaining not sure how to comfort her. Nathan was eventually the first person to move towards her, and she didn’t expect to be engulfed in a hug by him.“They’re just shocked. It’s nothing against you,” he told her.“Nate’s right. They’ve waited a long time for this day, but I don’t think either one of them really thought about what that would look like. It doesn’t help the circumstances you were reunited under,” Cassidy added.“Does anyone know about Calypso’s childhood specifically?” Antoinette asked quietly.“That would be me. I don’t really know much about before we found her, but I know we found her in bad shape. She didn’t have her memories when we did. I only learnt much later that she’d been taken and imprisoned after they killed her dad. By the time she left the pack, she was still in bad shape but she said it was needed,” Samantha recalled.“And then she met Zen, before she eventually found her way to her first mate’s pack where she

“We obviously have our own personal issues to deal with, but the point of this trip was to find information that can help us deal with Tyson and his crew. We have delayed that for way too long. We need to go back.”The statement surprised everyone since it had come from Samantha. “Are you saying you’re done with Ameran?”Samantha turned to Queen Hyacinth. “I’m saying that Ameran has been compromised. It’s not a dead end since we did actually learn a lot and I’m sure there’s a lot more to actually learn, but we’re also all aware of the tampering that has occurred.”“In that case, I can’t leave. I need to figure out how we got compromised in the first place,” Queen Hyacinth pointed out.Hale shook his head. “You have people you trust that you can put on that case. You are needed back with us. We can’t do this without you.”Yael could see that her sister wasn’t reconciling what her son was saying. “He’s right Yara. It’s not like if you stay here, you’re going to personally be in charge o

The creatures had long returned to the base, while Jordan was still sprinting around the territory. Besides the magic working on him, he felt like he was going insane. There was something going on and he couldn’t understand what it was.He also couldn’t get the redhead out of his mind.There was something about her, but he also had flashes of the blonde going through his mind as well. Both Samantha and Sage plagued him and he didn’t know what to believe. With everything going on with his body, he couldn’t bring himself to slow down.Slowing down also meant confronting his thoughts, so he chose to run instead.“What the hell is going on with him?” Tyson asked Jeremiah as they watched him pass by them.“I don’t know man. He’s been at it for hours,” Jeremiah commented.Tyson frowned. “The thing is supposed to have worn off by now.”Jeremiah shrugged. “Like I said, I have no idea what’s going on there. Anyway, where have you been?”“I was checking up on our allies,” Tyson responded.Jerem

Killian stood outside, trying to understand why his Lycan had led him to where they were. He had left the room under the guise of consoling Hale, but no one had actually seen him go in a different direction to his sister and her mate.He knew that he was treading dangerously in that Queen Hyacinth could easily find his wandering of her territory offensive, but he had no choice. His Lycan had full control, and he could only follow along.His Lycan had navigated them all the way outside the castle, and they had managed to avoid being spotted by any elves, much to his surprise. He understood better than anyone that getting as far as they did in the territory they were in was no small feat.He was surprisingly given back control, and he looked around to find that he was at the edge of a huge lake.Except he’d seen the lake somewhere, and that perplexed him even further because he’d never been to Ameran before. He tried to remember the small details about what he’d seen before, and he foun

“How was your trip?” Zen asked his little sister.She sighed, putting down the cup of coffee. “As with everything around us, complicated.”After Hale asked the question he did, silence had descended on the room, with Yael failing to find the words to answer him. As a result, he stormed out of the room, with both Samantha and Killian following him out, leaving everyone else behind.It wasn’t long before Queen Hyacinth suggested that they take a break, with her arranging for a separate room for Willa and Amaya as per their request, leaving Zen and Calypso behind. They were served refreshments and left alone while Queen Hyacinth and Yael attempted to do their own bit of damage control.“Anything useful?” Zen questioned.Calypso nodded. “We just need to decode some stuff first. When Lian and I first went in there, we were shown the day the Lycans turned, but when we went back with Sam, she seemed to see the day they were wiped out. The three of us still need to actually comb through every

Cain was aware of the attack happening at the castle, but he had been given strict instructions to keep the pack where it was. He was pacing in his office when he received word that someone was looking for him outside.The last person he expected was Charice with a man he didn’t know.“Charice?” he called to her.She turned to him, an unexpected smile on her face. “Hey Cain.”“What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be hidden away?” he linked her.She looked at Sebastian, who nodded, before turning back to him. “I’m here for Isla.”Cain raised an eyebrow. “Considering everything that’s going on around us, I’m sure that your request is unauthorized.”“We want to offer her protection,” Sebastian spoke up.Cain didn’t expect the power in the man’s voice, especially given that he couldn’t pick up anything else from him. “And you are?”Before Sebastian could respond, Charice cut in. “You don’t know who he is?”“Your location has only been known to Nathan and whoever he entr
She's The Queen - Book 2 of Calypso's Story Ch 69 - You Haven't Told Him
Queen Hyacinth was still gathering herself while her guests awaited her in the grand dining hall. Hale had arranged refreshments for them. A silence had settled on them, with everyone’s trail of thinking in its own direction.For Yael, she could only think back to the last time she was here. She’d just been banished by her sister, but as she sat there, she realized that too much time had passed for her to still be angry.She’d long ago forgiven her sister.If there was anyone who understood how complicated her twin could be, it was her – that, and Willa had helped her see the truth. Growing up, everyone would highlight just how different the twins were. Yael had always been the free-spirited twin, while Yara was a lot calmer and demurer.A fitting queen.Yael never wanted that life. Even before the debacle with her mate, she never wanted to be tied down. It was always strange to Willa how she was never truly affected by losing her mate – only losing her sister truly broke her.She spe
