Brayden I could tell that Aliya was stressed after hearing what Dreston had to say earlier today. After that conversation and finding out that Luke had still been talking to Shawn even after he had been killed she had been lost in her own mind. I had to take a couple of calls pertaining to some of the restaurants that we owned but as soon as I was done I started searching a few places that I could take her for a few days. I figured that we both needed a break from all of this chaos. Ramulus had said that at the moment Andrew and his pack are staying put since he and the other guy are still recovering. Zharten told me that he was able to palace two guys within the pack to keep track of what was going on. “Stop searching up locations to take your Luna. I have a villa in Italy that you can use for a few days or more. Take her there.” Zharten states. I look at him. I had no idea that he had even walked back into the room. He throws me the keys to his villa and tells me that he
Aliya I let out a whimper as I stretch. I have no idea what got into me last night. I did go out there with the intent of seducing my mate, but I swear it was like a switch inside of me flipped and I couldn’t get enough of him. I turn over and frown when I notice his side of the bed is empty. I feel it and it is still warm which means he hasn’t been gone that long. I sit up wrapping the sheet around me as the bedroom door swings open. I let out a squeak as I try to cover myself up more but I hear his deep chuckle and relax. There in the doorway stand Brayden carrying a tray loaded with food. While it is true that shifters, in general, eat more than humans due to our high metabolism, I did not inherit that from our mother. I eat a bit more than the average girl but compared to the others in the pack I barely eat a quarter of what they can. “Good morning angel. I hope you are hungry.” Brayden says. I am just about to tell him that I am starving but my stomach decides to an
Kendrick I let out a growl as I sit at my desk. Brayden and Aliya have only been gone for two days. Nothing major has happened and I want to keep it that way. I am just frustrated that we can’t get a visual on Andrew or the other guy. They have only been seen once and since then nothing. No sightings and no talk about them at all. Thalex told me that their guys did see the mate of the other guy and she seemed to be in good spirits so I am guessing that they are not dead. I decide that I have been sitting in here too long so I stand up and leave my office. I head downstairs. I smile when I see my sexy little mate bent over rummaging through the fridge. I lean against the door frame and watch her. She is so damn perfect at 5’9” with long hair the colour of the night and her sunset-coloured eyes that contrast perfectly against her light brown skin. Not to mention her perfect hourglass figure. “Stop being a perv.” Tallyn states. “I am not a perv but I am enjoying the view.”
Brayden I raised my arms over my head stretching. Damn, that felt good. I was about to turn over and pull my angel against me when my phone rang. I grabbed it up and lifted myself from the bed. I walked out onto the balcony shutting the door. I didn’t need my angel waking up. A smirk crossed my lips when last night flashed in my mind. I have no idea what has gotten into my angel but I am not complaining. These last three days have been amazing. I look at the number on my phone and a frown spreads across my face. Kendrick wouldn’t call unless it was important. I put a huff and answered the call. He has me on speakerphone. I can hear my dad as I talk to Kendrick. “We can come back early.” I state. “No stay there. The two of you need this and until we locate them there is nothing we can do.” Kendrick replies. “Kendrick is right, there is nothing that can be done until either our men or Zharten’s guys locate Andrew and his pack. They are still trying to confirm that h
Aliya I can’t believe our time here is up. These last two weeks have been unreal. We ended up staying an extra week. I was surprised when Brayden told me we were staying another week. Thankfully he was never aware of why I was so damn horny. I still can’t believe I acted like that. I did thoroughly enjoy myself. Wylanya did tell me that I would go through this again every few months until I get pregnant. I asked about birth control but she told me that none of that works with the fae. I knew the fae was a fertile race but damn. I have no idea if there is a spell of incantation that I can perform on myself to keep me from getting pregnant. I look out over the land one last time and let out a sigh. “Don’t worry angel we will come back.” Brayden states. “Really, that would be great.” I chirp. I see him smile as he lets out a laugh at my response. I will hate to leave this place but I also miss everyone. I hope everything is good back at the pack. Brayden told me about
Morrison It’s been three weeks since the attack that cost Uncle Andrew his life. He was doing well for the first week and a half but then his health deteriorated. Mom, Nalmyra, and Petra could not figure out why he was getting ill again. They tried everything but none of it worked. He passed away four days ago. We had decided to move the location of our pack a week before. We had made the decision to return to the Hillside Shadow packs land. Uncle Andrew and Liam had taken over that pack a few years prior and had instilled a new alpha to watch over the pack. Gordon was not truly an alpha but Uncle Andrew gave him the mission of acting as one until either he or I would come back and take it over. I had talked to Gordon two prior to us relocating and he was preparing for our arrival. I was still having a hard time processing that Uncle Andrew was gone. I was not sure what to do now. “Honey everything will be fine. We still have our original goal and once we have her then e
Brayden I look at the six people that are currently in my office. Kendrick has Tallyn on his lap and she is terrified. I can tell by her body language and the smell of fear is heavy in the air. Aliya is sitting beside me. Zharten, Thalex, Ramulus, and Maxillion are all sitting across from us. Kendrick told me what happened when he and Maxillion ran into Tallyn in the hallway. I know he tried to get her to talk about it before I came back but she refused and wouldn’t be anywhere he was. She basically stayed in their room the whole time we were gone. I can tell Kenrick is both worried and pissed at the situation. “Ok someone needs to explain why my beta female is so fucking terrified.” I point out. “Sorry Alpha but this is my fault. Well, my family's fault. Tallyn’s father and my mother were siblings. There are also two other siblings. Two other brothers. When her father found his beloved in Tallyn’s mother the family was not pleased. They hated the fact that she was a
Luke It’s been three days since Aliya, Lailani, and Tallyn pulled their little stunt and somehow found Shawn. I had a feeling that she was up to something when she asked for that bracelet but I didn’t think about it right then. I had a feeling that was nagging at me through the whole game and I knew she was doing something. It dawned on me what she was going to do and when I told the others we hurried to find her. I was not expecting to find the three of them leading Dreston and Nikolas through the packhouse as they carry an unconscious Shawn. I don’t think any of us knew what to do but we followed them as they took him to the hospital. I thought both Brayden and Kendrick were going to lose their shit when Aliya told us what she had done. I knew Brayden wanted to yell at Dreston and Nikolas for helping her but I stopped him. What is done is done. I snap back to reality when I hear a groan from beside me. I have been here with Shawn since they brought him here. Well, I have
Epilogue 2 Violet - 1 ½ later We sit on the edge of their border watching them. Aliya now has a six-month-old son; her daughter is almost two years old. Tallyn is pregnant with her second as is Lailani. The pack has been doing great these last two years. I stand up and head back to the car. These last two years have been rough. Brayden turned all of us over to King Luthar, well, except for Heather, Johanna, and Nelson. Johanna and Nelson were handed over to the supernatural council, who turned them over to her old coven. I have no idea what happened after that. I heard that they were put to death but then I heard she was stripped of her magic and they were shipped off to somewhere far away to live in a pack that dealt with people like them. Harlow, Scar, Liam, and Willow were put to death since they were the last remaining members of the pack that betrayed his father all those years ago. Heather and Johnny were handed over to her father. Again I heard that he placed them
Epilogue Aliya - Six months later Well, it is colder than hell outside. I swear it was just summer and then this horrible weather came out of nowhere. I am sitting on the bench in front of the window watching more fucking snow pour down. It has been this way for the last two days. I let out a huff and stand up. I look down when I hear a quiet cry. I am holding my three-month-old daughter. Yes, I was right when I kept thinking I was having a girl. She was born in the middle of the last day of summer. She is so adorable and yes I might be biased since she is mine. She has a full head of slightly curly strawberry-blonde hair and dark blue eyes with flecks of gold in them. Phillip says that she is the perfect mix of Brayden and me and I think that I have to agree with him. I have a feeling she is going to be a little thing like me since she was just over five pounds when she was born. Mom and great-grandfather told me that they can already feel her powers but until she gets
Alpha Phillip It has been two days since Aliya, Tallyn, and Lailani had been kidnapped. I was pissed that they let themselves be kidnapped. When they had returned from Morrison’s pack and I saw an unconscious Aliya in Brayden’s arms I wanted someone dead. She was pale and looked so fragile which was not normal for her. When Brayden came back down after placing her in their bed I made them tell me what happened from the beginning. I was both shocked and not surprised that Aliya had known what they were up to and had come up with a plan of her own to put an end to all this shit. I knew in my heart that she would have to be the one to end this but I sure as hell wasn’t going to tell my son that. I could see Hillary out of the corner of my eye and I knew she was just as surprised by this as I was. The boys had been home about half an hour when there was a loud knock on the door. Brayden let out a growl. I knew he was afraid that they would wake Aliya up and right now that girl n
Dreston I had heard stories from my grandfather and some of my great uncles about a fae so powerful that no other fae or person with magic could touch them. Those stories were told to us as children and for all intense and purposes were myths. They were mainly used as bedtime stories. Grandfather told me that it has been well over a thousand years since a fae with that much power was born. I was considerably older than both Luke and Aliya. The family was aware that Luke was fairly powerful when he was born but we also knew that his powers would manifest later since for some weird reason male fae didn’t acquire their powers until they were older. When Aliya was born, we all knew right then that she was beyond powerful. When great-great-aunt Belinda informed us that Aliya was that one in a thousand-year fae we were all shocked, I knew that Deliah was proud of her but we could all tell that Aliya’s dad was not as thrilled. Don’t get me wrong he loved his daughter and spoiled her
Brayden I woke up this morning with a bad feeling. I knew it had to do with my angel and I didn’t like it one bit. I could tell when I went down for breakfast that Kendrick was feeling the same way I was. Looking around most of the guys seemed to be feeling the same way. I tried my hardest to keep my angel from leaving the packhouse and heading into town with Tallyn and Lailani but they were adamant that they needed a few more things for the pups and other things. I let her go very unwillingly as did Kendrick and Eddie. I looked up at the sky thinking that it would be dark and overcast but no, it was the perfect day out. The sun was shining and it was hot and humid. Typical weather for this time of year. They had been gone a few hours when Dreston and Nikolas came tearing into the packhouse at the same time Carter, Luke, and Myles came flying through the front door. I knew at that moment that something was very wrong. Dreston was carrying a crystal ball. I wasn’t sure what
Harrison We had to wait an extra day for Aliya, Tallyn, and Lailani to make it into town. We are not sure why they didn’t make it into town when we originally thought they’d be here. I was told that Tallyn was in the hospital so I am guessing it was related to the pup. I know the others are chomping at the bit to get these three. I honestly have no idea why they want Tallyn. She really isn’t that special of a hybrid. I know why they want Aliya and Lailani. When we heard that they would be in town the next day we made damn sure that everything was ready for them. They didn’t show up until midmorning and then they had brunch first. We were literally going crazy watching them walk around and go into every store but ours. I know Nelson was losing patients but there was nothing we could do. It’s not like we could go out and force them to come into our store. I think we almost jumped the gun when they finally walked in although they took their time getting to the back where we c
Aliya The three of us were suspossed to go into town today. We had been listening in on their conversation. We knew that Nelson and Johanna were back in town again. We knew their plan and which shop they had chosen. What we weren’t expecting was Violet’s mother to be part of this. Then when they were talking about her being able to use magic I was floored. I am not sure if that meant she is a part witch but this threw a curveball into our plan. I needed to find out what exactly she is but we were out of time. I knew they were going to be pissed when we didn’t show up in town but that is not my problem. I could hear them discussing the reasons we hadn’t been seen in town that day. None of which were true. Lailani had a terrible migraine and Tallyn started having contractions, which turned out to be false contractions. Dr Nelson said that she still had at least a month or so before she would give birth. Poor Kendrick was a mess. I thought he was going to have a heart attack
Henry (Willis) In just a few more days and we will be able to set our plan into motion. I had finally gotten a hold of the guy that I know that owns the rental truck company and he had let me borrow one of the trucks. Nelson and Johanna will be back in town tomorrow. After that it will take us at least two days to get the location set up and for Johanna to get the spell in place. She had to find someone who could help since Aliya would be able to sense her magic. Luckily Violet knew of someone that would be able to help. I was shocked as was Harrison when we found out that it was her mother. As far as anyone knew her mother had disappeared and everyone thought she was dead. It turns out she is not dead and that Violet had been in contact with her for years. Her father and Alpha Hewitt never knew his. She never did tell us why her mother left the pack but that doesn't matter anyway. “I still can’t believe that Violet has fae blood in her. I would have never guessed since yo
Brayden It’s been way too quiet around here. I have talked to the other alphas and they said the same thing. Morrison and his pack have been sticking close to home. None of us has seen any of his guys around our packs. Hell, even Zharten hasn't seen any around his kingdom. There haven’t been any more reports of special/gifted wolves being kidnapped. Dad has been keeping up with that. Which is good and I would like to keep it that way. We still haven’t found where they are hiding the other wolves they kidnapped. Emmanual was able to trace the truck to the border of Tennessee and North Carolina but then all traces of them disappeared. Again we think that Johanna is behind this. I have a weird feeling that they are hiding those girls right under our noses. On top of everything else, the women are acting normal. There haven’t been any more hushed conversations and they haven't been acting like they are planning something. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not but I wil
