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.
Brayden I stare out the window of my office watching the pups play around in the yard. I had no idea what to do when I caught Aliya packing yesterday. I had not intended to return to my room but Havok kept telling me that we needed to go back to our room. I am glad I did. I have no idea how far she would have gotten if I hadn’t gone back. She had most of her closet packed in that backpack of hers. I told Luke about it and he says that she more than likely placed an enchantment on it so it is many times larger on the inside than how it appears to everyone. I know I should have gone to her sooner but when Carlton told me about our room and the dead dove I didn’t want her anywhere near that room until I make damn sure it was safe. I have Harrington installing a new security system in the packhouse as well as on each floor. Only certain people will be able to access the floors. Right now it will only be ranking members and their mates, my parents, Eddie and Kendricks's parents,
Morrison It has been a week since Uncle Andrew and a few others went after those two girls. We had been searching for gifted wolves and had found two. They were sisters and hailed from a pack in Louisiana. I sent a couple of guys to that area to see if they could get eyes on the girls but it was found out that they were currently in Kentucky looking at colleges. The sisters were a year apart but the younger was extremely smart and had been moved up a grade so they graduated together. We had yet to learn what their gifts were. Mother and Nalmyra were looking into that for me. I knew that mom and Nalmyra were also looking into the Midnight Forest pack as well. Nalmyra said that she wanted to find out if a few of hte rumours that she had heard about that pack were true or not. She has yet to tell me what those rumours are. “How are they doing?” I asked. “They are resting. I have no idea what happened to them but I suspect that magic or something was used against them.” Mom
Aliya It’s been a week since Tallyn and I found Andrew and his bunch cornering those two girls. Brayden and I have talked everything out and we are fine once again. Brayden did have a meeting with all of the pack and told them what Luke and I are and the history of our family. I was surprised when the whole pack seemed to accept us without question. I really thought a few of them would be against us being hybrids and all. I know that many supernaturals are weary of the fae. I also know some outright hate the fae people. I can’t tell you how many members of the pack have come up to me and told me that they are themselves hybrids. When I told Brayden of this Alpha Phillips explained that when his great-grandfather created this pack it was to make a home for any wolf that was a hybrid or had other supernatural blood within them. He said that his family has always hated how purest most supernaturals were. He told me that his family has always thought that mixing blood would only
Brayden I looked at dad when Delanie and Sasha reacted the way they did. I had a feeling that this was a sore subject for them. I could also tell that they didn’t want to tell us which pack they were from. This made me very suspicious of them. I could tell that Aliya felt protective of them and for this reason I was willing to hear what they had to tell us. “Our pack originates in Kentucky, however we left our pack when I was 7 and Sasha was 6. Our father was the beta of our pack and the alpha at the time was his best friend. They had grown up together. They knew that Sasha and I are gifted wolves and they kept it secret not even telling the pack. Our alpha knew that he had a few spies in the pack but he could never flush them out. He didn’t want them finding out about us so it was only him and our parents that knew. He never even told his luna.” Delanie explains. “A few months after I turned 7 some other wolves showed up and asked our alpha if they could rest within our
Aliya We have had the fox cubs for a week and they have grown so much. Kilua is such a little thing. The other four are almost twice her size. Noir loves her and follows her everywhere. He is like her protector. I look over my shoulder when I hear Brayden grumble about something. I am helping him go through his filing cabinets and organize them. Mainly I am shredding shit that he no longer needs. I have found stuff in them from five years ago, hell I have found a few things from over ten years ago. I have a feeling that Alpha Phillips rarely went through them and got rid of shit. I asked Luna Hillary about it and she said that Alpha Phillips hated getting rid of things. I guess his excuse was that if he got rid of it he might need it. “Everything going ok over there? I hear a lot of grumbling and it sounds like you are aggressively typing.” I say. “Sorry angel, but half of this shit I don’t understand. Most of it has to do with pack finances and math and numbers are
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
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
