Aliya I start to move and fuck it hurts. I can’t figure out why my whole body is revolting against me. Then everything that happened starts to slowly come back. The feeling of dread spread through my body when I heard about the rogues attacking. Then I felt the fear from Lillith. I knew I had probably freaked out Blake and Harrison when I vanished but I knew that I needed to get to Lillith. When I got to her and saw what was happening I was pissed. I immediately jumped in and started fighting the rogues. I felt my powers building and decided that it was time I started using what I was given instead of hiding them. I have no idea what happened after that as my world started to spin and get blurry then there was just blackness. My eyes fly open when I remember Alpha Phillip, Henry, Xalen, and little Lillith. I try to jump out of the bed I am in but something wraps around me. “Hey it’s ok angel no need to fight me. Everything is fine.” A voice says. I must still be groggy
Brayden “What the fuck is that?” I asked. “This is called a dragon. More specifically a chameleon dragon.” Thalex answered. “Why is it here in my pack?” I asked. “We brought it for Aliya. We thought that it would be a good pet for her to have. Plus it can blend in and become invisible. We use them to watch over others we need to keep an eye on.” Ramulus answered. “You mean people you need to spy on others,” Kendrick stated. I watch as the dragon curls up in Aliya’s lap and start to make a sound. It sounds like it is purring. I raise an eyebrow at her but she is petting the little thing. Zharten explains that they raise these particular dragons as both spies and guards. He says that they are fiercely protective of whoever their masters are and will protect that person with their lives. I look at the little dragon again. Thalex says that the dragon will not get any bigger than the size it is now. It is the size of a large house cat. I guess my pack just gained a pet d
Luke I had lots of time on my hands with the current storm raging outside. It had started early this morning and gotten worse as the day went on. It was just after lunch and was looking at some old photos that Alpha Phillip had brought back from the pack when he had gone there right after the attack. Something about this whole kidnapped twin sister thing with Carter’s mom wasn’t sitting well with me. Then there was Andrew and his twin. That one I did actually believe. I had called our great uncle and talked with him about it after Aliya and the other women had dug through all those boxes and organized the pictures. I had found a few pictures of Carter’s mom when she was younger and compared them to Harlow. Yes, they looked alike but there was something that was bugging me about them. I had found an old hairbrush that belonged to who we thought was Carter’s mom and had taken it to a cousin of mine who was a doctor. He had met me in town a few days ago so I could give him the
Aliya After Luke had told us everything he had learned yesterday I decided that I needed some alone time. I used some of my fae magic and made myself invisible all while concealing my scent. I knew that Brayden would be able to find me by following my scent. The storm was still raging but I snuck outside and headed down the path outback. I found this place when I first got here. I slipped between the two rocks and then climbed down the hill. I stood in front of the tree and knelt down. I smiled when I pushed the bush covering the hole at the base of the tree appeared. I crawled in and immediately dropped down a hole in the ground. I almost let out a scream but my feet came in contact with the ground and I let out a breath that I forgot I was holding. I walked the length of the tunnel until it opened up into a large cavern with sparkling water. I am not sure if anyone knew about this place. I think it is under the waterfall that Brayden showed me or at least close by it. Th
Brayden I just about lost my mind when I couldn’t find my angel anywhere. I had searched the whole packhouse. I even searched the library. I admit that I hadn’t looked through the entire library but no one needed to know that. Besides her scent was nowhere in that room. She might have thought that she was able to hide her scent from me but I had followed it all the way to the back door. I have no idea why she would walk out into this storm but I almost followed her. Luke stopped me because apparently, he had also followed her scent as well. "If she really went out there then she is using her abilities to calm the storm enough to see. We will not be able to.” Luke says. “Why would she want to chance going out in this shit?” I asked. “When Aliya has had a lot of information dropped in her lap she likes to find a quiet spot and think about everything she was told. I dropped a shit ton of information on her yesterday and I am sure she needs some time alone to process it. I
Aliya Finally a break in the fucking weather. The last two days have been beautiful. Cold as hell but beautiful. I am just glad to get out of that fucking packhouse. Don’t get me wrong I love the packhouse but being stuck in it for days on end would drive anyone crazy. I think if we had more girls in the packhouse it would be better but we are outnumbered by the guys. That does not include Blake, Chester, and Fraizer. Harrington has been around a lot lately as well. He is amazing with all the tech shit. We, women, decided we needed a day in town so we left before the guys had woken up. I am waiting for Brayden to realize that I am not there and start blowing up my phone. “Damn this food is good. I forgot how good this place is.” Yvette says. I nod in agreement. I have missed coming to this place. This little cafe has the best breakfast food and coffee. I look over and Ahlanyea and Tallyn have their eyes closed and I am sure I heard one of them moan, This is their fir
Brayden I was not happy when I woke up. I reached across to pull my angel close but my hand finds an empty spot on our bed. I open my eyes and look to make sure that she isn’t just close to the edge of the bed but no her side is cold to the touch. I sit up and scan the room. I can’t hear her moving around and while her scent lingers it is fading. I climb out of bed and walk into the bathroom. The air in here is still warm letting me know that she hasn’t been gone that long. I take a quick shower and head downstairs. It is quiet here. I don’t like it. I can hear the others coming this way as Claire walks out setting stuff on the table. Damn the food smells delicious. “Have you seen the girls?” I asked. “Sorry Alpha but I haven’t. I did notice a few of the cars missing as I walked over here this morning. It looks like they didn't eat before they left.” Claire answers. We sat down to eat when Blake, Chester, and Fraizer can running into the room. The three of them
Aliya Damn my head hurts. I slowly open my eyes and look around. I don’t recognize the room that I am in. I sit up and let my vision clear. Once it does I realize that I am in the guest bedroom. The same one I stayed in when I first came here. I am confused until the memories from earlier start rolling through my mind. Fuck the rogues attacking those two girls. Only they weren’t rogues, it was Andrew and part of his pack. I remember Tallyn being there and using her abilities. I vaguely remember others showing up right at the end of the fight. I am positive I heard Brayden talking. I know he was there because I felt the tingles running through my body. If they brought me back to the packhouse then why am I waking up in the guest bedroom? Unless Brayden is afraid of me now. I knew this would happen. I swivel my head around when I hear the door creak open. “Hey, you are finally awake,” Luke says. “How long have I been out?” I ask. “You have been asleep for 24 hours.
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
