Aliya The king and his beta arrive today. This is not good. I was so happy with the fact that so far this pregnancy has been easy. Well, easily ended yesterday as I throw my head over the toilet and heave everything I ate for breakfast into it. Whoever named it morning sickness needs to have their throat ripped out. I have barely kept anything down these last two days. I am in no mood to be greeting people. I feel someone pull my hair back as a hand rubs my lower back. I know it’s Brayden when the familiar sensation of tingles works as they travel their way up my back. “I linked Dr Nelson and she should be here soon.” He says. I would answer him but my stomach is revolting against me right now. I dry heave again but nothing comes up. Great now I am dry heaving. There is no way I can meet the king and his beta like this. I start to tell Brayden this when another wave of nausea hits and the heaving continues. I feel him get up and I want to cry. His presence and touch
Brayden Well, yesterday didn’t go quite as planned but so is life. I am supposed to be meeting with King Luthar and beta Garreth but currently, I am sitting in the hospital. I had to bring my angel here last night. She wasn’t able to hold down anything yesterday or last night and the vomiting wasn’t stopping. She tried to tell me that this was normal but I picked her up and brought her here late last night. I linked with dad as I walked with her in my arms and he told me to keep them updated. Dr Nelson was at a loss as to why her morning sickness was so bad. Dreston had disappeared telling me that he would be back. I have no idea where he went. “I am sorry that I had to postpone our meeting.” I tell the king. “Alpha Brayden do not worry. The health of your Luna takes priority. I was once in your shoes as well. When my wife was pregnant with our daughter she was ill like your Luna is. Luckily with our son she was not sick at all.” King Luthar states. We all look up w
Aliya Finally, I am back at the packhouse after being in the hospital for two days. I had another extremely bad bout of morning sickness. I vomited so violently that I started bleeding. I was told that a small tear on the inside of my uterus caused the bleeding. Dr Nelson and Dr Branson said with all the vomiting and overuse of my stomach muscles that the lining in my uterus split causing a small bleed. Thankfully everything else was alright. Also thankfully I have this damn morning sickness under control. Dreston has been a lifesaver. He went and visited some of our family, on our angel side, and was able to get something they use to help with morning sickness. I still get nauseous but so far I haven’t gotten sick any longer. We also figured out that certain smells seem to set me off, one of those being anything apple-related. Which is weird since apples are one of my favourite fruits. Dr Nelson also told me to increase my protein intake. That has also seemed to help. I r
Brayden I was finally able to talk to Alpha’s Gideon, Zane, and Wes. I told them about the king’s beta calling me and then about the king and his beta coming here. They were all shocked that this happened. It is very rare that the King leaves his kingdom. He usually sends his beta or other wolves on his council. I also told them about Aliya carrying my pup. They all congratulated us and I am sure Tia will be calling my angel soon. Zane did tell me that so far none of Morrison’s pack has done anything. There have not been any attacks on packs close by. Wes said that Alpha Hewitt hasn’t been back to Morrison’s pack either. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not but I will take it for now. I have a strong feeling that they are planning something. “Well Aliya seems to be doing better.” Dad says. He just came strolling into my office. I had no idea he was even here. I was kinda lost in my own head. “Yeah, I think she finally has it under control with help from the me
Aliya It has been a week since King Luthar and Beta Garreth were here. I am feeling so much better. I still get nauseous but not near as bad. I am not sure if it is all the medication or if maybe I am moving past that point in my pregnancy but hey I will take it. I have started redecorating the room across the hall from ours. This will be the nursery. I decided to decorate with a sun and moon theme. This way it will be for either a girl or a boy. The room just got painted yesterday and it looks great. I have a few designs for some murals and it just so happens that Quinton is a fantastic artist. He offered to draw and paint them on the walls that I want. I am still looking at furniture though. Hillary and I went shopping but nothing jumped out at me. I did some bedding that I liked and other little stuff. I had no idea that it would be this hard to choose furniture for a pup. I rub my little bump and smile. I can’t wait to feel him/her move for the first time. “Pleas
Zharten I haven’t told Brayden what we had been suspicious of yet. I wanted o make sure that I had sufficient proof before I let him know what was going on. I have been suspicious since the last time they tried to kidnap Aliya and Lailani. When they chased Delanie and Sasha onto the pack's land I became even more suspicious. When Brayden told me that both Delanie and Sasha were special wolves my suspicion was confirmed. That was one of the reasons I sent Max to watch the pack. I knew if anyone could get deep inside Andrew and Morrison’s pack it would be him. I was right and he found the proof I needed. I still believe that they also figured out that someone had found out what they were up to and that is why they decided to move their pack. When Andrew dies it caused a huge issue. Max had known that Andrew was seriously injured, we just didn’t realize that Aliya had injured him that gravely. I was told he was getting better and that Max and one of the other guys had figured o
Brayden I had no idea what just happened. I was out on patrol with Luke, Blake, Thalex and about six of my other warriors when several loud howls were heard. I knew right away that one of them belonged to Kendrick. I hated leaving Aliya alone at night but Nikolas and Dreston were gonna have a movie night with her and Tallyn. Kendrick was just as nervous leaving Tallyn alone so when they offered to watch movies with them I knew everything would be fine. I also knew if something were to happen that my angel, even pregnant with my pup, could still protect herself but Havok and I would rather not chance that as would Kendrick and his wolf Manic. Our group followed the howls and I could hear several sets of feet hitting the ground. I sucked in a deep breath but nothing but the usual scents flooded my senses. We rounded the corner to find Kendrick, Chester, Myles, Zharten, and eight others plus Eddie, Carter, Frazier, Ramulus, and a few more guards. We had the three rogues surround
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
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
