CHAPTER 183 RED WATERTEDDY'S P.O.V After talking with Uriah an unsettling feeling washed over me. Why was he acting so strange? I couldn't quite figure out what had changed. But something had. I hadn't known Uriah long, but in the few years I've known him, he had never acted this way. "Momma, Momma!" "What my sweet boy?" "Bad man, ouchie!" He must've seen something on TV. "What happened to the bad man?" "Red water." Did he mean wine? "Did he spill it on himself?" "Red-" He paused, looked to his side, then back at me. "Lud." What was lud? "Oh, really?" I asked, acting as if I had understood what he meant. "Safe." He then said to himself. Something he tended to do often. People have told me it's abnormal. However, Kenedy, our pack therapist, said children often create imaginary friends. That children who create imaginary companions actually engage in high levels of positive self-talk which helps them have more positive social development. So, at least I can say that's goi
CHAPTER 184 THE HITTEDDY'S P.O.V One minute I was performing CPR on Novalee and the next I was being yanked out of the flipped bus by the hair on my head. What the hell was going on here? "Who are you?" I asked with anger laced in my tone. "I'm the one who will put an end to the powerful Tribal wolf and her little family." The mentioning of my family along with the phrase 'put an end to', had my entire body boiling with the overprotective rage I felt when it came to my children's safety. "You are going to wish you never fucked with us!" I screamed while making my eyes flash between my normal color and the vibrant red. Power swirling around us, the color telling him that I meant business. "Op, I almost forgot." He said while taking out dust and blowing it in my face. I coughed with the ingestion, a feeling washing over me before a stranger feeling occurred. What was this? "An herb one might call it. It was given to me to enable your so-called goddess given gifts as the Tribal
CHAPTER 185 I FIXTEDDY'S P.O.V It was as if I was back in my dreams. I could see him. I could hear him. But could I touch him? Was he really there? I reached my hands out, cusping his magnificent face within them. Not realizing how badly I missed his touch. It has to be real, I could feel him. Which meant this was not a dream. No, he was here. Either that or we were there. Whatever it was, I was glad because that meant we were together again. Even if we are together in death, at least we are together again. "The kids." I spoke out in a whisper, unable to form any of the other words swirling in my mind. "You take care of them, I've got this scum bag." Fenirs said in a soft yet demanding tone. At that moment, Elias jumped into my arms. His tiny face swirling with so many emotions. Surely not understanding completely what was happening, but enough to know it was bad. "Mommy hurt." Tears began to fall down his chubby cheeks as he peered up at me. "Mommy is safe. Because her big,
CHAPTER 186 TICKTOCKFENIRS 'S P.O.V I wasn't entirely sure what I thought would happen, but this wasn't it. First off, my mate could see me. Elias somehow pulled them all into this alternate universe, which in turn broke the seal. With every minute that has passed, the walls were crashing down around us. Freeing me once and for all. I was in the middle of snapping the hitman's neck when I felt something wrap around mine. I turned to see that Sibil was here, and she had her whip that had teeth-like endings. It hurt like a bitch. I can't say my own personal hell wasn't only mentally torturous. She would randomly show up, threaten to hurt my family before cracking her whip on me. I guess she thought Kingston would crack under the pressure of being tortured. But she didn't know how resilient he really was. The whip tightened around my throat, making me gasp for air as she hollered for Teddy to join us. She placed her wand to my throat, trying to make a point, I assume. Truth be told
CHAPTER 187 PLEASE BE A DREAMTEDDY'S P.O.V My brain was working in overdrive. So much had happened in such a short amount of time. Elias has magnificent powers that I myself do not possess. I wasn't sure what they meant for us, or for him. He was a healer. The real deal. And this was his own gift, not borrowed magic from the Moon Goddess. Having that form of gift could be dangerous. I'd have to make sure only trusted individuals knew. If word got out that Elias could heal a fresh non-beating heart, then everyone would want to possess that gift for themselves. Which ultimately meant that we would have a target on our backs, forever. A target bigger than we ever had before. Then there was the fact that he could be inside of alternate universes while also remaining in ours. A foot in both worlds and there had to be a reason for that. He was only two years old and I could already tell that he would possess power greater than Lucy and I combined. The only question was, what else could h
CHAPTER 188 LIFE AND DEATHTEDDY'S P.O.V How did I let things get so messed up? He told me to get the kids and go, to protect them. Which was all I have ever done. So of course, that's what I would do. But I couldn't stop asking myself why I listened? Why didn't I ignore his request and protect him too? If I would've ignored him and fought Sibil head on, he'd probably still be here. But as much as I wanted to blame myself for what happened, the truth of the matter was, we were in immediate danger and I had to get us all out of sight. After what had happened today, we would have to go into hiding. At least temporarily, until I could take care of Uriah for his betrayal. But even with that knowledge, I still wanted to blame myself for what happened to Fenirs . He managed to leave me even more broken than when he disappeared without so much as a note. Because now, I knew it was certain. He was gone. There was no hope left. I felt the bond snap. "Teddy, what's going on? Talk to us?" Luc
CHAPTER 189 ANNOUNCEMENTTEDDY'S P.O.V It felt like it had been weeks since Fenirs and I's bond broke. But it had only been days. Days of torture. Days of pain. Fredrick sent guards scavenging that forest, and nobody was able to recover his body. I didn't want to have a memorial without his body. But it appeared as if I would never get to see his face again. He deserved far more. He deserved to have a funeral, to allow all his friends and remaining family the chance to see his gorgeous face one last time and say their goodbyes before we laid him to rest. But that was another issue. His parents were both in the royal crypt. Somewhere he should also be. But instead, he was decaying somewhere where animals may have eaten his decomposition. While Uriah remained seated at my son's throne. "Mail is here, you won't believe what's in it!" Lucy hollered as she entered the ICU room. I had been at Novalee's bedside waiting for her to wake up. The doctors said she was in a coma, possibly brai
CHAPTER 190 I'M COMING FOR YOUTEDDY'S P.O.V I held off on hosting Fenirs 's memorial for when we took the Kingdom back. I wanted his friends, what was left of them, and all of those who loved him to be able to celebrate his life. "Full Moon is tonight, are you ready?" Lucy asked from across the room. "We've done nothing but prepare. I'm ready to go home. I'm ready to officially lay my mate to rest." It had been almost two weeks since the incident. Fenirs 's body was never recovered. But I planned to have a stone carved in his image for the crypt. It was the best way I could keep his memory alive. "Tonight we will make our move. It will be when he is least expecting it. He thinks that tonight he is going to party and be crowned King of the realm. But while he is relishing in his so-called accomplishment, we strike. He doesn't have numbers, or at least hopefully he doesn't. I'm praying once we are discovered they'll side with us. If not, then a war it is." I then said, trying to r
