Eighty-Two: Back to the Drawing Board Dustin We are all sitting in the living room over at Jason and Marus’s house. We have made this our new meeting area since it is more private than the rec room. We still use the rec room for certain talks but not this one. No one had said anything for the past half an hour. Not since the animals came back in a rush and basically dragged Chris and Rye off with them. All five of them came back with Chris and Rye. Dimitri was also with them. They all had a sullen and pissed-off look to them. Not only was it us in the room, but Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were also there. I knew it was bad when they appeared. They usually didn’t get involved unless asked. So we all knew something was up. “What happened?” Kaleb asked. Finally, someone broke the silence. We all looked at Chris, Rye, and Dimitri. I could tell that they were still absorbing the information themselves. “They found Penthesilea and Phlegyas.” Chris says. “Good, now what i
Eighty-Three: Reassessing the Situation Unknown I knew we were going to have to get rid of Penthesilea and Phlegyas. They had become too much of a liability. In all honesty, we should have gotten rid of them after they killed that witch all those years ago. They were a good distraction from us. I had the werebears befriend them and think they did them a favour when the bears were already part of the plot. The original plan was well thought out, and it took us an entire year to decide who would carry the child. Of course, it had to be Aphrodite. She is well known for having girls, and we needed a girl to be able to control and possibly give us children. What we didn’t take into consideration was mixing all that power into one child. We also didn’t think anyone would find out about our plan. Penthesilea and Phlegyas apparently had big mouths, and fucking Dimitri and Dominick found out. Of course, none of us knew they had added other things into our mix. We also didn’t reali
Eighty-Four: New Direction Chris This last week has been stressful. Since we found Penthesilea and Phlegyas dead, and it seemed as if the werebears had magically disappeared from existence, it has been very frustrating. We all thought we were so close to finishing this shit; then, we were thrown a huge curveball. Someone basically threw up their middle finger, giving us a huge FUCK YOU. I knew that Uncle Zeus was right when he said it was probably an angel or demon behind all this. I am sitting here in the rain, trying to replay the last 2500 years to figure out who it could be. Most, if not all, of the angels and demons, are scared of my sisters. So none of this makes any sense in my mind. Besides, why would either one of those beings want to start a war with the gods by doing something like creating my sisters and me? I was still shocked when it came to revealing all of Mykayla’s powers and what she is. Fucking Dominick is adding a Phoenix to the mix. Where the hell did h
Eighty-Five: Kids Mykayla I had to take early maternity leave. Well, sort of; I do all of my work from home. This pregnancy has been more taxing on my body than my last one. No one can figure out why, though. At least the morning sickness stopped. That was fucking terrible. Kylani’s morning sickness ended as well. I think she still gets nauseous, though. Since being home all the time, I have gotten to spend more time with Bree and Araya. Well, when they are not at school. Both of them have done amazing at this school for the last two years. I was worried in the beginning, but they have not had any issues with any of the kids there. Mykenzie. Kylani and I have been helping Bree get control of her powers. She has become very good at them. I have started to notice things about Araya, though. She is constantly staring at the sky and seems fascinated when Hades comes around. She will ask him endless questions about the underworld. He is very patient with her and answers a
Eighty-Six: Other Packs Dustin With everything that had happened this last month, I had forgotten that this year our pack is hosting the Alpha meeting. There are six other alphas attending. They are from the packs closest to ours. We have an alliance with three out of the six packs. I am hoping to form an alliance with at least two more. The other alpha is a huge asshole, and no one likes him. They are all due to start arriving tomorrow. We are continuing to set up the large ballroom where the gathering will be held when there is a loud commotion out front. Kaleb and I hurry to see what is happening because we can hear a low deep growl from the front. We arrive to find Alpha Aiden and Alpha Bryan standing there. Alpha Aiden has his mate and their three-year-old son with him, and I see Mykayla trying to diffuse the situation. “What seems to be the problem here?” I ask. “Sorry Dustin we weren’t sure where you guys were so we just came in but we accidentally hit this guy w
Eighty-Seven: Convention Dustin All the alphas and their entourages had arrived. The banquet was in full swing. So far, no one has done anything to anger the girls. Which I have been grateful for. Even Alpha Darrius (he is such an asshole) seemed to behave around them. I was currently talking to Alpha Bryan and Alpha Stephan when Chris wandered over. I introduced everyone, and Chris joined in our conversation. I noticed the girls casually dispersing around the room. They seemed to be mingling well, but I noticed how they had positioned themselves seemed off. I wanted to ask Chris, but I was unable to with the other two alphas there. If it had been Aiden there, it wouldn’t have mattered. I continued my surveillance of the girls. I decided to get another drink and walked over to where the drinks were. As I was walking back, Brighton and Kaleb walked over to me. We stood there talking for a while; soon after, Chris and Aiden joined us. “The girls seem to be behaving the
Eighty-Eight: Wolves and Bears Damien Marshall, Ian, and I are sitting in a cabin, waiting for an old friend to show up. The cabin is in his territory. He, his beta Thomas and the three of us have been friends for years. The two of them used to attend underground fights when they were younger. That’s where we all met. We have been here many times. It is safer for us to meet here than to show up at his place. We have been there for about thirty minutes when the two of them show up. “It’s good to see you again Damien, Marshall, and Ian,” Darrius says. “It has been a long time friend,” I tell him. He and Thomas take a seat, and we get down to business. Darrius tells us that he was just at the Alpha convention on the Silver Moon Packs territory. Well, isn’t that an interesting coincidence? I explain why we are here and what is going on. I see a huge smile spread across his face. “I hate that pack. I hated it before, but now that they somehow acquired that land, I h
Eighty-Nine: One Month Later Tye It has been a month since we found out that the bears are working with Alpha Darrius. Not that I am surprised. That guy is a worthless piece of shit. Donte spoke with Poseidon, and he helped us find a way to set up surveillance of the pack. The best part is that there is no way that he can ever find out. We are all piled into the rec room to discuss what Nymyra learned about Einyn. We have decided to order a bunch of food for this. Dustin thought it would be a good idea since we have three pregnant women now. Leah just found out she is pregnant. When she told us, I thought Marcus’s chest was going to explode from him, puffing it out so much. He was very proud of Leah for being pregnant. “YOU FUCKING BASTARD! GIVE ME MY CUPCAKE BACK NOW!” Kylani screams “YOU DON’T EVEN LIKE HAZELNUT FLAVORED STUFF.” Chris retorts. “THAT IS NOT THE POINT YOU ASS HAT. I NEED SOMETHING SWEET, AND IT IS THE ONLY THING HERE.” She screams at him. I turn
