Aliya When I woke up the next morning I can’t move and I felt warm air on the back of my neck. I start to freak out when I smell his eucalyptus forest after a fresh rainstorm scent. I try to turn around but I still can’t move. I look down to find a huge muscular arm wrapped around my waist. I start to squirm out from under it but all that does is make it hold me tighter. I feel something move behind me as his hand moves up under my shirt and touches the skin on my stomach. I suck in a breath when his fingers start gliding across my skin leaving sparks everywhere. “Good morning angel,” Brayden says. His voice is deep and raspy sounding. Considering he just woke up and all. I am sure my face is turning red. I have never slept with a guy before. I mean I used to crawl into bed with Luke when I had nightmares. That was when I was younger and after mom had been killed. I am not sure what do to. I am not sure I have ever slept this good and felt this safe. “Morning,” I wh
Brayden I smirk to myself when I think about waking up to my angel in my arms this morning. She had fallen asleep crying so I laid her down then turned off the lights and climbed in behind her. I had pulled her to me and she had snuggled into my chest. I haven't slept that well in a long time. Both my wolf and I were content to have her in our arms. My wolf and I about lost it when she started to tell me the last time she had slept with a guy until she said it was Luke and that it was after she had nightmares. I am sure it had to do with her mother and I can remember Kayssia crawling into my bed after she had a nightmare too. Breakfast went well and I told them about the Coastal Current pack led by Alpha Barrett claiming their old pack for now. I also told Carter that Alpha Barrett would be here next week to talk with him. I could see the concern in his eyes and I let him know that the talk will be positive. I was going to show my angel around that pack when Kendrick told me
Morrison It’s been a month since we attacked the Northern Celestial Pack. I don’t call it my old pack because it never was. Mom somehow was able to convince Alpha Craig that I was his. I am not sure how she did this, but she did. I have no idea how no one figured out that Carter and I weren’t related. I am not sure if everyone in that pack was stupid or if they just blindly believed their Alpha. Carter and I look nothing alike. I watch as mom moves around the kitchen, making breakfast. I turn and look when I hear someone walking in. “Good morning everyone.” Uncle Andrew states. “Morning uncle,” I reply. Uncle Andrew sits down across from me and starts talking with mom. Dad was killed when he challenged the head councilman. If he had won, then his and Uncle Andrew’s pack wouldn’t have been disbanded. Uncle Andrew still thinks that the councilman somehow cheated in the fight. It doesn’t matter their pack was disbanded and forced to either join other packs or become r
Aliya Brayden is up to something and I am not sure what it is. He told me that he has something important to tell the pack tonight. Next thing I knew Kayssia, Yvette, and Malika were dragging me out of the packhouse and out shopping. I am not a big shopper. I do it when I need to but I actually hate it. Even when I was younger I avoided it unless mom made me. We have been to at least a dozen different shops and I am so done with it. Right now they are throwing different dresses at me. I really don’t like dresses and wear them as a last resort. I am definitely a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. I guess this is the downside to growing up around three boys. Yvette shoves a dress into my hands and tells me to try it on. I walk into the dressing room and hang up the dress on the hook. I have to admit it is a beautiful dress. I slip it on and I grudgingly admit I love it. It is pearly white and is floor long. I am going to have to wear heels. I let out a sigh just one more th
Brayden I wake up the next morning and reach to pull my angel close to me only to find her side of the bed empty. I sit up and look around the room. I don’t see her and I don’t hear her in the bathroom. I quickly get out of bed and slip on a pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt. I put on my trainers and head downstairs to find Kendrick and Eddie on their way out. I look at my watch and see that it is time for training. I let out a sigh and hurried to catch up to them. “You seem anxious.” Eddie states. “Aliya wasn’t in bed when I woke up and I can’t find her anywhere.” I say. I see the look of concern on their faces and I know this bothers them just as much as it does me. We walk out to the training area and I can hear a bunch of growling and shouting. We walk faster and I see Luke, Carter, and Myles with smug smirks on their faces. I follow their line of sight and see my angel in the middle of the training area facing off against Blake. I know he is still butt-hurt after
Aliya I am pretty sure that all four of them thought I was crazy when I walked out of the room laughing. I agreed to have three guards with me but I told him they are to be dressed in street clothes. I don’t want anyone to realize that they are guards and not just friends. I have no idea what those three are playing at. I don’t for one minute believe that they offered to be my guards. I literally just kicked Blakes's ass so I am sure he is looking for an opportunity for revenge. I had heard that he was one of the top warriors in the pack so I have no doubt that getting his ass kicked by a girl that just happens to be his future Luna is embarrassing. I hand my plate to one of the omegas and walk towards our room. Brayden is sitting on the couch when I walk in. “I thought you had a few more meetings to deal with?” I asked. “No, I am finished for today. I wanted to talk to you about earlier.” Brayden says. “You honestly expect me to believe that they want to be my guards
Brayden I let a smirk slide across my face. Not only could my angel fight but she also had quite the attitude. I had also learned over these last few weeks that she had quite the mouth on her for such a little thing. Everyone in the pack was roaring at the dinner when I announced her as my mate and Luna. I could see a few of the women glaring at her and I had a feeling that at least two of them thought about challenging her. That morning when she joined us for training I could see two of them getting ready to challenge her for her spot as Luna. However, after she had thoroughly kicked Blake’s ass they decided against it. Kendrick, Eddie, Xalen, and Leon had all told me that they had heard nothing but positive things said about my angel. “How did the talk with Blake. Chester, and Fraizer go?” Kendrick asked. He, Eddie, and I were in my office at our main building in town. We had to come to work. We all had meetings that we needed to attend with possible buyers and investors
Aliya Fine so I knew what I had done to Blake, Chester, and Fraizer was fucked up but Blake is an annoying asshole who deserved it. Chester and Fraizer probably didn’t deserve it but they are always with Blake so they are guilty by default. When Brayden pulled me onto his lap I was slightly embarrassed. Mostly because I was straddling him. I had to look away or I was going to get myself lost in his hypnotic bright aquamarine blue eyes and say or do something stupid. My eyes drifted down to his lips and all I could think was how kissable they are. When I looked back up I saw him leaning in and I panicked. I had never kissed a guy before and I didn’t want to both embarrass myself or disappoint him. I had no other choice when he made me look at him. The first touch of his lips sent a shiver down my spine. I had to break the kiss so I could breathe. A whimper escaped when I felt his lips on my neck again. It felt so good. I let out a gasp when I felt his hands on my ass kneadi
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
