AzaleaThe three of us each took a leg of the drive to Texas. I told them a lot about the state in general having spent most of my life there before my mom and I went on the run. The state still held a piece of my heart and still instilled a sense of pride in me.We stopped at a full service truck stop not too far away from pack lands to freshen up and get changed. It would be easiest for Micah to just have to glamour our faces and his own size if he didn’t have to worry about outfits. I wore a pretty red dress that went about mid calf and had short puffy sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. It covered all of my tattoos and was actually in a style that Cassie would enjoy. I was shorter and curvier than her but was hoping that we could be inconspicuous enough for no one to notice. We sprayed ourselves with the special scents I had created that would completely mask our scents.It was well after dark when we arrived. We were stopped at the border by the enforcers and handed over the invit
AzaleaI was excited to tell Logan about my brother’s ceremony the night after we returned to Omaha. I explained how him and Shay’lyn did perfect and they believed it and the plan went off without a hitch. I thanked him for giving me the idea and just enjoyed our time together. I didn’t really have much to report to him or anyone else so it was nice to be able to just be.The twins had been working hard and they were quickly impressing the recruiter back in San Francisco. They made all their minor irritations about pack life into a big deal and were really selling their cover. I was very proud of them. Cae’leigh was doing well and had been able to double the size of her emp.We were back in Omaha for only 4 days when our undercover team got invites for the meeting that would be held the following week. That put us into a quick defense mode. He had teams coming in and staging them at nearby hotels and we went over the blue prints for the warehouse where they were meeting. It was import
AzaleaI woke at some point in the afternoon back in our trailer. Lucas must have carried me and put me to bed. I was groggy and physically exhausted but my mind was awake and I wanted food and a shower. When I walked out of the bedroom I saw that Steve had already arrived and was sitting with Lucas eating.“Don’t worry , I brought some for you as well. Why don’t you shower first and then you can eat while we go over what we’ve found,” Steve said pointing to a whole tray of food. I nodded and took a quick shower. I washed and rinsed my hair until the water was no longer tinged with pink. I threw on some sweats and grabbed my hair brush before taking a seat next to Lucas. He had finished his food and I handed him the brush while I dug into my food. Steve began going over the little bits of information that the enforcers had gotten off of the others before going over what Lucas and I had been able to get.Lucas had gotten on the of movement’s accountants and had gotten account numbers a
Azalea Every time I think of New York I remember the Gremlins Movie and the Gremlins singing New York, New York. It just sticks in my brain. I heard someone calling my name before I felt them gently shake me. I groaned and tried to pull the sleeping bag more over my head, making them laugh. “Come on sleeping beauty. Steve’s got some info for us,” a voice my now slightly awake brain recognized as Lucas’s. I growled a little at him and he just picked me up and carried me to the trailer. I clung to my pillow inside the sleeping bag, awake but not really wanting to be. I felt him set me down on a chair and growled again in dissatisfaction. He unzipped the side of bag enough for the front to fold over and my face to show my glaring eyes. “Stop giving me that face and drink the coffee while you listen to what Steve’s got,” Lucas said handing me a mug of hot coffee. I breathed it’s delicious scent in and sighed. “Alright,” I said taking a sip. Steve just watched with a raised brow before
Azalea It only took a few days before we had enough surveillance posted to know where they meet. With the help of the fae the enforcers had been able to sneak in and plant bugs in several places that they frequented. After listening for almost a week we decided that no one of importance was here and that this would be a complete annihilation, so prisoners to be taken. We spent several more days trying to figure out the best way to take them all out - with the size of the building I wasn’t sure that I could put them all to sleep. After carefully examining the building’s blue prints we decided the best course of action would be an electrical shortage, which would start a small electrical fire and emp, that I would aid with my potion, and would set off the sprinkler system. Once the water was flowing then it was be a large electrical shock. Ideally, the water would aid in the conducting of electricity. Then we would cut the water off and make sure the fire burned. We weren’t sending a
Azalea It was a long few days drive back to the west coast. We split from Steve’s team on the third day as they were headed south and we were still headed west. I was glad to get to see the twins again and had changed my look along the way. I was now a red head and I straightened my hair. I hadn’t realized how long it had gotten. I had watched some tutorials on how to give yourself freckles which I did and I switched contacts to an emerald green color. I also had Cae’leigh help me do some henna type tattoos on my feet and arms. I looked like a completely different person again. In some ways it was fun - pretending to be someone else. But I was starting to miss the girl I used to see in the mirror. Lucas shaved his beard off ( finally) and cut his hair in what I called a sexy smooth Viking. He just rolled his eyes while I laughed. Once back to our camp grounds near San Francisco I decided it would be fun to surprise the twins so while the team settled in Lucas and I went to the city t
Azalea I woke up and grabbed the things I had packed to take the forest with me. It was almost 2 am the perfect time to try and reach out. Lucas walked silently with me to the clearing I had selected earlier in the day. The moon was shining down on the clearing making it glow. He nodded to me before walking behind a tree and shifting. He came out in his full gigantic wolf form and dropped his clothes on the blanket next to me. He would return for them later either when the sun rose or when I called out for him. I ran my fingers through his fur before he took off. I placed the candles around me lighting them and then placed the bowl of herbs in between them all. I lit them on fire and took several deep breaths letting the smell of the candles and herbs wash over me before laying back on the blanket. I closed my eyes and willed my body to relax. It felt like forever had passed and nothing had happened. I sighed and sat up, knowing it was a long shot. When I opened my eyes, the clearing
Azalea I woke up slowly, my brainstill processing everything that I had experienced. The sun was just starting to peak over the trees and I called out to Lucas. It only took a few moments before he arrived . By that time I collected what was left of the candles and dumped out the bowl of now ashes. I handed him his clothes back and he took them back to the forest to shift and get dressed. Once he returned I had my things bundled and was ready to go. He looked over at me expectantly and I smiled. "She came and I have ideas now," I said cryptically. He rolled his eyes at me before turning and leading me back to our camp site. I caught up to him quickly and said "We need to get our maps out as soon as we get back and I'll explain with the maps. It will be easier for me to show you and to process it." He nodded and we walked silently back, each in thought. A few of the fae were already up making breakfast for the group and I waved at them. As we passed I asked that they have
