The Alpha's Surprise Mate Things are not as they seem
Morgan There has to be something I'm missing. I can feel the power running under her skin. I've heard the tales of what she is capable of. Just look at how much she's been able to do with the fae magic. She could be everything we are looking for if only I can figure out how to unlock it, I thought to myself as I paced my living room. There was a knock at my door and it was unexpectedly Elder Charlotte. "Hello. I wan't expecting you. Were you not working with the girl now?" I asked her, not wanting to be disturbed. "Yes and no. I have something we need to discuss. May I come in?" she replied. Hmmm, I thought as I opened the door. "Have a seat. Tea?" I asked reaching for another cup. "Yes please." I poured her tea and handed it to her before ushering her to the chairs. We both sat. "What's going on?" I asked almost impatiently. "You worked potions with Azalea today right?" "Yes, but the results were-" She cut me off. "They appeared below par at the time hmm?
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Curious, very curious
Azalea I saw them approaching the clearing at almost the same time as we did. I asked if we could try the incenerator first as I had an idea. I spent a lot of time thinking about it last night. They told me to go ahead. I made a small whirlwind and placed it on the ground next to where I piled some sticks. I had added 5 drops of my blood this time, hoping for a stronger connection. I shook the vial and focused on my whirlwind. I threw the vial and as it exploded on the sticks, I had the whirlwind pull the fire into itself, letting the two powers mix before pushing more of my power into it. It flared up a firey tornado now as big as me. I held my hands out to it, letting my power flow between us. I directed it around for a few minutes, keeping it away from the trees, before I created an air bubble around it and suffocated it, slowly pulling the power back into myself. I sat down once I had put it out, exhausted but energized at the same time. It was almost as if I brough
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Spring is coming
Azalea I was starving at lunch and actually downed a few tylenol I kept in my bag. Cassie looked at me questioningly and commented once again on my scent. "It could be the potions or the magic I've been working on," I whispered to her. She nodded in understanding as a finished the first sandwich. Her friends came over again and I was glad for their distraction for her. When I went to go meet up with Rich I remembered the smell masking potion. I told Rich about what had happened in my classes earlier - leaving out a few details of what I had seen- and that I had brought a smell masking potion to try today. "Great," he said. "What I want is for you to use it on yourself. maybe it will work better on you and you can boost it somehow with your powers. I am going to change into my wolf. You're going to give me a 2 minute head start and then I want you to try to track me and I will circle back to try to sneak up on you. So you're going to be the hunted and the hunter in your hu
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Spring Break is here
Azalea The girls and I had lunch together before meeting at the SUV. Rich had gone on to get the boys and would meet us at the airport. We talked the whole way out there about all the fun things we had planned. Soon enough we were on the plane and off to Hawaii. We all played games on the plane while Rich did some sort of work on his laptop. He was dropping us in Hawaii and then heading home to Colorado to spend the week with his wife. We said good bye to him at the air port and then we were off to the hotel. My father had booked a whole cabana for us - with 8 bedrooms - two of which had double queen beds - 6 bathrooms, a fully equiped kitchen and dinning room and massive living room. The kitchen, dinning room and living room were all open to each other giving the house an even bigger feel. We were right on the beach. The main building for the hotel had other rooms as well as a bar, resturant and club, gym and indoor pools. We each claimed our rooms and took some time to
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Loosing Azalea
Cassie "Have you seen Azalea?" I asked Taylor when he came into the kitchen. She had been gone already when I had woken up and wasn't answering her phone. "No, she wasn't with ya'll? Did you check the beach? You know she loves her early morning runs," he replied smiling before gulping down his coffee. We were all walking into the kitchen getting ready to go grab breakfast. "She does, but she's always back by now. Plus she almost always answers her phone. Her scent was faint in her room, like she'd been gone a while and ... I don't know. I just feel like something is off," I replied, wringing my hands. I couldn't put my finger on it but something was wrong. Celia frowned and I noticed she was still sitting there staring into her cup. "You feel it to? Like a sense of foreboding?" she asked me quietly. I nodded and she pushed her cup away. "Look, let's ping her phone's GPS. Just to make sure she's ok. I mean some of those himans have really been hanging around you girls
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Laying out the Plan
Logan About halfway through the trip my father set us up on a conference with the girl's father and other enforcers as well as the alpha that was there with my siblings. Each group was gathered around the laptops that connected us so everyone would be on the same page. Introductions were made all around and my father asked for an update from Alpha Kai first. He was young for an alpha, not much older than the twins. "She was taken at approximately 0500 this morning from the beach. It's belived that she was out running as this is a ritual of hers -" he looked towards my sister for confirmation. She nodded and he continued. "There were 4 of them, they caught her unaware. Her shoes and cell phone were found on the beach about a quarter mile away. 2 vampires and 2 witches. There was a pile of ash where one vamp was apparently killed next to some blood, some of which was the girl's. The only video we have is of 3 men getting into a dark sedan with a girl who looks to be pas
The Alpha's Surprise Mate The Defensive
Azalea I nodded as best I could. So he continued. "Now I will offer you a little treat so that you can stay conscious enough to listen to me," he said pushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear before walking around to my back. "The whip I used was laced with wolfsbane, just a small enough amount to sting and to slow your healing, not that you need anything to slow your healing more, do you my pet? That human blood is really slowing things down for. But... I can give you a taste of the pleasures I could bring you," he said kissing the back of my shoulder. He kissed his way down to where the cuts started, the stinging pain of his lips against them giving way to a wierd sense of pleasure as he licked each one. It was sick and it pissed me off, but he was right. I almost moaned as I his cold tongue soothed my hot torn flesh. I growled at him instead. Thankfully my wolf was not feeling receptive to his minstrations. He laughed as he scraped his teeth against the side of my ne
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Preparing to fight
Logan My father called out for them to come in - it was Alpha John and his team. Introductions were made quickly and my father and Steve made a plan to extract Azalea. We all geared up and then my father laid out the plans. Alpha John would stay here with a small team - the doctor, Kyle and the other tech guy, my brothers and sister, her friends and brother included -to protect home base and be ready for any injuries that might occur. The other group was going to take out the guards and infiltrate the building to get her out. My father and the fae would stay outside to make sure none escaped as well as to create a distraction and contain the scene if needed. Steve was leading the inside team. "Cassie, get the doctor set up in her room. Jason and Markus bring the gear for the doctor to the room for him," my father directed her. She squeezed her mate's hand and began walking the doctor to the room. I looked at my dad and he just nodded, already knowing where I was going. I

The Alpha's Surprise Mate Epilogue
Logan It’s been a year now. To the day. Today is her official Luna ceremony and the whole council and all of our friends are here to watch and to celebrate with us. I won’t say it’s been easy, but it’s been worth it. To see the carefree way that she laughs and loves, different than before. It made me almost grateful that she didn’t remember everything and it’s been fun to make new memories with her. Seeing her finally walk down the aisle to me with her father by her side, both of them in tears, took my breath away. She was always beautiful, but today she was exceptionally stunning, stealing my very breath. Patching things up with her father again took longer than anything else. I hadn’t ever really talked much to her about her feelings towards him but he explained to me that she had told him she forgave him and that he needed to forgive himself the day before the war. And he struggled with it more this year as he tried to gain her forgiveness again.. But in the end I think he found
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Erasing memories
AzaleaI didn’t know where I was but where ever it was I felt safe. It wasn’t very bright a pale light illuminating a pathway in front of me. I felt something brush my hand and looked down to see my wolf beside me, her red fur shining and reflecting the little bit of light. How was she here with me? I thought as I ran my hands thru her soft fur, making her purr. I giggled. A wolf purring sounds kinda silly. She made a soft bark before bounding up the path away from me. I followed her quickly, not wanting to be away from her.It wasn’t long before I was in a clearing that was familiar to me. And in the middle, petting my wolf, was the moon goddess. “Am I dead?” I asked sadly as I approached the two. The moon goddess took my hand when I got close and gestured for me to sit, my wolf moving to put her head on my lap once I did.“Not yet my dear. You have a choice, you and your wolf. You did a good thing Azalea, but I know that it weighs heavy on your heart. You can choose, both of you to
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Clean Up
LoganI watched as her eyes turned back into their silvery color and finally close. I could feel her breathing and I could still feel a very tiny spark inside of her so I knew she wasn’t gone, just very very drained. I picked her up and began walking back towards camp. I kept my eyes forward, the scene around us too horrific to even imagine. I heard several people loosing their stomachs around us.Behind me I heard Lucas tell some of the fae “bring the rain. We all need to ... rinse the day off.” I had just stepped into the forest when I felt the rain start again. My little mate made the rain turn to snow the first time and then after than I think the fae were too scared to do anything. People moved out of my way as I walked, some moving in fear others in reverence. I signed and knew that there would be a lot of questions once she woke.I could feel the rain washing down my mostly naked body and shifted Azalea to the other side so that the rain could wash off Arick... or what was left
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Chaos
AzaleaI drew my sword and ran for Arick, not making it far before a were jumped in front of me. I dispatched him quickly and looked around for Arick again. I saw the working tirelessly with their elements, a storm brewing above us. The rain would start any minute and while that would hinder the fire fae it would aid the others. I fought off another attacker, still looking for Arick.I was distracted and barely missed the claws aimed at my face. Luckily my mate, in his large black wolf form had grabbed onto the body that tried to attack me.Eyes open my love, he linked to me as he tore into the other were. I turned and got a glimpse of Arick fighting through my second line. I growled loudly, putting power into it, causing the air to vibrate with my anger. The twins were nearby, fighting beside a few of the second line witches and fae. I used my air to push aside bodies as I made my way after Arick.The smell of blood and burned flesh because almost nauseating before the sky spilt open
The Alpha's Surprise Mate And thus it begins
Azalea I came back my arms laden with snacks and drinks and we sat around quietly munching. Steve and my father were keeping an eye on Arick’s camp trying to keep an estimate of people still coming in. They were already up to 7000. Suddenly the door busted open and there in the doorway stood my twin protectors, my friends, my brothers. I jumped up and rushed over to them wrapping an arm around each of them, the others on my heels. They sandwiched me in a hug squeezing the breath out of me for a minute before letting me go to greet the others. Behind them was Corsica and Stanley and I greeted them as well. We all squeezed in the small area while they gave an update. The twins had escorted the fae to their pack lands and had a quick visit with their family before returning. I was glad they were back and I told them that we had extra beds in the head quarters. Once Steve updated everyone on the numbers -8000 people now - we decided to call it a night. Tomorrow was the big day. I actua
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Attack on the Enforcers Headquarters
Taylor I spent a few hours with my pack, double checking gear, and doing warm ups with them to make sure we stayed fresh and ready to go. I wanted to have dinner with my sister so I headed back through the portal and began looking for her. I checked the hospital, the mess hall and head quarters before going to central ops. There I saw my father and Steve watching the monitors. I asked if they had seen her and they both nodded no. “I saw her last in the woods. That was a few hours ago. You might check there though,” my father said looking at me. “Alright. I’m going to find her and then go to dinner if you guys want to join,” I replied before walking out. I headed to the forest and began searching for her scent. I frowned when I didn’t smell anything until I remembered the potion. She ws probably still taking it for precautions. I began searching for signs and trying to listen hard for her breathing. Finally I picked up another heartbeat and followed it to my sister. She was asleep cra
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Distraction
Azalea I went straight out to my garden right as the sun was rising and began cutting the plants I needed. There was only one I needed and I knew who would have some as well as be able to help me. When I turned around to go back to the head quarters to see if she was awake, I was startled to see her behind me smiling. I smiled back and said “I should have known. You already have it don’t you? You don’t happen to have a reversal of sorts for it do you? I know it usually only lasts a few hours but I don’t want the twins knocked out for that long if they don’t have to be.” “I do and here, I’ve already prepared it,” she replied smiling as she handed me the wolfsbane and a small vial with a blue potion. I hugged her again and ran off to go wake up Steve. On the way I banged on the trailer door and said loudly to Lucas through our mind link GOOD MORNING LOVE BIRDS! I NEED YOU UP AND DRESSED. YOU HAVE A MISSION. I heard his growl and Cora’s giggle and knew that I would see them soon. Stev
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Let the Countdown Begin
Azalea9 days. And now that it was finally set, I was nervous. Were we really ready for this? Could I do this? I laid on the top of the RV looking up at the stars, letting the finality of it all wash over me. A year that passed so quickly and yet horrifically slow at the same time. Everything we’ve been doing cumulatively coming together. Tomorrow I would go to the fae lands and make sure that our people were getting sorted. The call would go out and they would begin pouring in from all over the country.Th elders would send out the call to be answered and answered it would like an echo in a cave rebounding exponentially. My front line of fae, witches and enforcers would be here in 3 days while those in the second and third lines would be in fae within the next 5 days. Chance’s team would join us on day 6 right before Arick’s team, ideally, would move in. Day 6 would also see all of the elders and the generals with me for a finally run down all together. In 6 days I would see my mate
The Alpha's Surprise Mate Visits from the Council
AzaleaWhile we were away Steve made the arrangements for the other council members to come visit later in the week. I spent most of the next day asleep but on the second day I was up and ready to go. Charlotte and Mrs. Morris, who would be interim witch council member, would be the first to come visit followed by Elder Chris from the bear shifters and Elder Sarah from the feline shifters a few days later, the later two who were each bringing with them their top alpha. Rich would be going back and forth as the council members were supposed to be visiting with "me" and him at our pack. In reality he would be helping them go back and forth between the portals. Chance and Lucas showed up on the third day like I had requested. We chatted for a bit and they were both relieved to see I was pretty much back to normal. I had Lucas and Steve put on their gear and show Chance how it worked. The metal smith fae had come through the night before and brought with them additional weapons wh
