At the sound of the growl, Killian clutched his head as he was pulled into a vision. He was surrounded by darkness at first, until he heard voices. He couldn’t make them out, and the darkness slowly dissipated, but he still couldn’t quite see around him.However, the voices became clearer.“He will attack us and you know it,” one of the voices stated.“I know that he will, but that doesn’t mean we should attack him first. His father failed in taking us out, so why would he succeed?” another voice spoke.“You say that, but I’m telling you that there’s something different about him, about his tactics. He almost wiped out our surveillance team and you’re simply treating him like he’s nothing,” the first voice said.“We have the favour of the Higher Powers. He will not succeed,” the second voice insisted.“I won’t be around when shit hits the fan because I’ve warned you, and you’re choosing not to listen to me. You’ve got Isaac on your side as well, and I’m telling you that he will succee
None of them had expected the revelation made by their guest, and so casually. He was respectful of everyone present, despite the tension he could feel to his presence. He waited on anyone to make the next move, but they were all silent, internally processing.Knowing the importance of the conversation that was about to take place, Killian asked for Maria to also be present. In his pack, she was the eldest member, a grandchild to one of the pack members who were around during Khan’s time.“I’m going to assume that you’re just as surprised as I am, so before we go anywhere, I’ll introduce myself. My name is Logan Grey, and I’m a descendant of Khan’s youngest son,” the Alpha introduced himself.“Youngest son? You’re suggesting that Khan had more than one child,” Calypso spoke up.Logan nodded. “He did. He had two sons, Isaac and Vasil. There’s not much I know about Isaac, but my pack was led by Vasil all those years ago. There was some big attack on the Lycans, and Vasil managed to esca
Everyone was waiting on Calypso, Killian, and Logan to return, when Zen remembered what Tallulah had told them about his being alive. He didn’t want to talk to him in front of everyone else, so he requested to see him in another room.Vera naturally followed, trusting that her mate would want her there, and he closed the door after she walked into the room. “What is this about?”“You’re not giving us any updates about what’s happening in the castle,” Zen told him.Frazier raised an eyebrow. “What happened to trusting me?”“I trust you, but apparently I’m dead,” Zen jabbed.Frazier scowled. “How did you find out about that?”“Tallulah, the Lycan we rescued, she was quite surprised to find out that I’m not,” Zen informed.Frazier was genuinely taken aback. “I didn’t expect you to find out, much less so soon.”“Wait, so that’s the word around? That I’m dead?” Zen asked.“We’re trying to smoke Odus out. While I’ve tried to find out any information from the castle, no one knows anything. N
It was early morning when they broke apart, each agreeing to meet back after Nathan and Cassidy’s meeting with the other elders. However, they agreed that that was a meeting that Killian, Calypso, Zen, Logan, Hale, Samantha, and Amaya had to be a part of.Cassidy left to head to the kitchen, but her mate pulled her in the direction of their room instead. While their honeymoon had been cut short, they were able to connect in the way that they needed to.“We can’t do this now,” she scolded.He grinned. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, you dirty minded freak. I was only pulling you away to check up on you.”She narrowed her eyes at him. “Check up on me why?”He smiled, caressing her cheek. “Because today is your first day as Queen.”She blushed at that. “I’m ok. I just need to first make sure that everything is ready for our guests and the meeting.”“I’m proud of you, you know that much, right?” he asked.She got onto her toes and leaned in to kiss him. “I know.”They were supp
Even though he had strength and speed, she was faster than him, which is why it took Killian two minutes to arrive just as the creatures scurried away, leaving the dead Lycan bodies behind.He looked to his mate, who was still transformed, and she was unmoving. He tried to link her to find himself shut out. He approached her, only for her to growl lowly. She still hadn’t turned to face him, so he wasn’t sure why she was growling.And then she turned to face him.He’d seen her eyes briefly back at the scene of the attack, but now they were staring back at him fully. He was able to see that they were a light purple, with a blue ring around them. He watched as slowly her fur started to change back to gold, before her eyes turned completely blue.He was still shut out from their link, so he waited for her to be the one to initiate any kind of communication. Instead, she stood where she was, no longer growling. He couldn’t decipher the look in her eyes, and he wouldn’t admit to anyone else
He scanned the area, scanning the wolves in his view, but he couldn’t find her. He could see all his former pack mates, and fury seared through him when he realized that they seemed to be happy without him.They’d settled into their new home just fine.He spotted his sister and wondered if he should use her. While they have never been close, she was still his sister, and they were still connected by blood. They lost their mom when Isla was a toddler, and they didn’t know what happened to their dad.Or at least she didn’t know.He kept the truth from her, and as he watched her from a distance, he wondered if she needed to be brought in. He knew she always wondered about their father, and he could use that, but her loyalty to Calypso would be a problem.Still, he was intrigued by the opportunity. Even though their pack link had been severed, as family, they could still communicate via link. He still couldn’t be seen by anyone, and he was curious to see if she would tell the people aroun
The different leaders who were present and had been impressed with Nathan and Cassidy found themselves annoyed as they awaited the royal couple. They had been informed that the couple had stepped out and would attend to them as soon as they returned.Garrett and Penelope found themselves running things together with Wayne. They tried to keep everyone as comfortable as possible, but even they understood that the different leaders and monarchs’ patience could only last so long.Remi had left to go and check up on the pack. With him and Garrett having been gone for so long, he was worried about the state of the pack, so they agreed that he could go back and run things in Garrett’s absence.The gang that was out had just finished getting things wrapped up at Logan’s pack, and all necessary steps had been carried out. They turned to Killian for their next set of instructions, with the Lycan Alpha letting everyone know that they could go back home, while everyone needed at the werewolf cast
They moved the meeting back inside the castle, with everyone on board, much to Queen Hyacinth’s annoyance. The power that she thought she still had over everyone had proven to have waned, and a part of her blamed her son for that.She hated how independent he seemed without her, and more so because of the girl next to him. She recognized the power surging through Samantha, and it irked her to no end that fate decided to pair her son up with someone like that.Even if Hale wasn’t her biological son.She loved him as her own, having raised him from when he was just days old. No one understood the sacrifices she’d made for him, having chosen to save him when his own father wanted him killed.She knew what people thought about her, but she still loved her son. She would do anything for Hale, and she’d proven it all those years ago when she decided to raise him as her own. He would probably never know the truth about what happened all those years ago, and she was ok with that.Still, she k
