Aliya I can’t believe that I am hearing this right. They are kidnapping special wolves again. I have this terrible feeling that they never stopped but they kidnapped someone si infrequently that no one ever caught on. Not to mention that Kianna just told us that she is a phoenix as if it was an everyday thing. I feel like I might have stepped into an alternate universe. If Zharten thinks he is being sneaky then he is wrong. I noticed right away that he has been staring at Kianna the whole time. I start to get uncomfortable when the room has been quiet for so long. I nudge Brayden with my shoulder and he lets out a soft grunt. “Sorry I was not expecting you to say that.” He admits. “Yeah, it usually catches people off guard when I tell them what I am. There are more is us throughout the world but we tend to keep to ourselves and stay hidden. We are not as numerous in numbers as all of you shifters.” Kianna points out. I am about to say something when there is a knock on
Brayden It has been two days since we chased the rogues off our land. Zharten and the others left yesterday. The storm lasted all day and most of that night. They were able to finally leave mid-morning. I stand up and turn my computer off as I get ready to leave my office. I have to hurry back to the pack hospital. Aliya and I have her next appointment with Dr Nelson. It is just a routine check but I want to be there. I swear I could feel a tiny movement this morning. Kendrick worked from home today but Eddie and I had to come to the main office in town. Luckily most of my business can be done from home as well but I do need to make an appearance at least two to three times a week. Thank god for my assistance and COO who happens to be Malika. She is here at least four days a week and keeps the main building running. I got a lot of backlashes when I made her COO but with her degrees in business/management, finance, and computers it was a no-brainer. She has put many of t
Aliya As usual, the guys hijacked our relaxing day by the pool. I looked over my shoulder when I heard the back door open, expecting to see Claire walking out with drinks but nope. Out walked Carter and Max, each gripping a handle on the ice chest, followed by the rest of the guys. I just rolled my eyes and resumed my sunbathing. It was the perfect day for this, plus we all needed this. With all the shit going on, I knew that days like this were going to be few. “You are blocking my sun.” I grumbled. “Sorry angel but I thought you might like a large glass of ice tea.” Brayden says. I cracked one of my eyes open to see him standing there with a large tumbler full of iced tea. I smiled at him and took the tumbler from him. He sat down on the lounge chair next to mine. I couldn’t help but peek at him when he was he peeled off his shirt. Damn, I swear this mate of mine was carved from solid granite. I am not sure how he fits through most of the doorways in the house with
Liam I still can’t believe that Harlow and I are the only two of the original pack left. Both Niall and Andrew are dead as are their parents. It was their dad’s idea to start tracking down and kidnapping special wolves. He was successful with it for years and we were able to start forming our own pack. We all wanted to take down the king. The plan was to kill the king take the queen and her daughter alive and use them for breeding. Niall and Andrew would co-rule and everything would be perfect. We had it all planned out perfectly. No one suspected a thing since we were also part of one of the royal packs. We had no idea that there was a traitor amongst us. When everything went down we knew saying anywhere in Europe was suicide so we came here. Thank god for Johanna and her family. Well, some of her family. They helped us originally as well and they also helped us get out of Europe without having to use the normal travel methods. Two of her uncles and one of her aunts hate
Brayden When Harrington told me that all of Morrison’s guys had backed off and weren’t anywhere near our borders I became highly suspicious. I know for a fact they are still hanging around the town. None of us could figure out why they stopped trying to cross the borders but I also don’t care. The town was large and with both humans and supernaturals living in it I knew I had to be careful with how we approached it. “I still have no idea what made them pull their guys back to the town.” Eddie states. “They must know something that we don’t.” I said. “I’ll bet money that the people they have inside the pack old them something and that is why they have backed off.” Max said. We were all stumped with what they could have found out. We had been very careful of what we talked about outside of the packhouse. None of this made sense. I had talked to Zharten yesterday and they were watching his land as well but they weren’t trying to gain access to grab Kianna. He also said that
Aliya My bump has not grown much in these last two weeks. Dr Nelson said that the pup is growing as it should so I am not worried. I am about two and a half months along at the point. Thankfully the morning sickness has stopped. I still get nauseous but now all those candies that Dreston and the fae doctor gave me seem to keep it under control. I smile as I look at myself in the mirror seeing my bump. I give it a little pat and pull my shirt back down. I did ask Dr Neslon about feeling the baby move this early but she couldn't tell me if this was normal or not. Considering that wolves, fae, and angels all experience pregnancy different we really have no idea how this is going to go. “Well, how did the appointment go?” I asked. “It went great. We found out we are having a boy.” Tallyn says. “That is great. I know you really wanted a girl though.” I reply. “Honestly I am ok with having a boy. I think that Kendrick would have a heart attack if I was having a girl. I
Morrison Nelson, Johanna, Violet, and I just arrived in the city. Johanna’s uncle owns a house here and he told us that we could stay there for as long as we wanted. I decided that it was time that I came here to see first-hand what the hell was going on. None of us had been here since Uncle Andrew had died and I want to see what the pack is up to. I am hoping we can get a visual of Aliya and her friends if we are here long enough. From what my guy on the inside told me is that Aliya and a few of the girls have been coming into town more since summer set in. This might make it easier to kidnap them. Johanna, Violet, and Heather get along great. Heather and Johnny stayed behind to help Liam with the pack while we are away. “Do you think that we will see them?” Nelson asks. “I do. It might not be right away but if what our guy says is true then they come to town often enough that we can watch them and come up with a plan to kidnap them. We do need to figure out how to not
Aliya Morrison must have thought he was being slick when we were in town yesterday. I caught his scent as we walked into the cafe for breakfast. I was going to look around to see if I could spot him but I didn’t want any of them to ask what was wrong. They all knew that I had been having those feelings of being watched so I kept quiet. I also could sense someone with magic so I figured that Johanna was close by as well. It made sense that Morrison brought along her and her mate. I knew that Morrison had brought along his mate as well since his scent was mixed with another. Thalex had shown us pictures of her a week or so ago. She is a cute girl but there was something about her that I couldn’t place. I know that King Luthar was calling Brayden today. I guess his trackers and IT people had found something. I was surprised that they just didn’t show up since we all had portals now. I looked down at my bracelet and smiled. None of us had used them yet. They were beautiful a
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
