Fifty-Two: Popping the Question Mykayla Dustin has been acting strange the last week. I feel like he is hiding something from me, and I am terrified of what it might be. I am getting ready in Mykenzie’s room. She and Kylani are helping me. Jordyn and Xaydyn are on the floor playing. You can tell they are cousins. They fight each other one minute and then are best friends the next. I am wearing a gorgeous sheer emerald green dress that Kylani got for me. One of them has picked my jewellery for me while the other does my hair and makeup. They finally let me look in the mirror. I can’t believe what I see. I don’t recognize myself. I want to cry, but I don’t because it would ruin my makeup. “You look perfect,” Mykenzie says. “Dustin is gonna be speechless when he sees you,” Kylani says. They help me walk down the stairs so I don’t fall. I see Dustin waiting at the bottom of the stairs. He has his back on me. I see Rye’s mouth drop open, and that’s when Dustin turns
Fifty-Three: Phobias Chris I am sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast when Dustin comes walking in. He is in a pair of black sweatpants. I watch him as he grabs some coffee and takes a seat across from me. I can see some marks on his shoulders, and I have a feeling that last night must have gone well. “I am going to assume that you are now engaged,” I state. “You are assuming right my friend,” He says with a smile. I congratulate him, and we sit there and talk for a while. I am not thrilled to be letting him know that the vamps still aren’t talking. I let him know how things are going. I can see he isn’t happy. I am not happy about it either. I know we are going to have to have my sisters get them to talk. I know none of the guys wants them around my sisters, considering that they tried to help kidnap the kids to get my sisters. “We have no choice. I have to get them involved if we want to get anywhere.” I tell him. “I know. I will send a link later and have all
Fifty-Four: Truth Dimitri I follow the guys out, and we all head to Dustin’s office. I saw Kylani look at Kaleb as he walked out. I saw the tears start to form in her eyes when he wouldn’t look at her. I can only imagine what is running through her mind. I walked into the office last and shut the door behind me. The guys sit down, and we are all quiet for a few minutes. “Why would they not tell us about this?” Nate says. “I don’t know,” Dustin says. “Why would they actually follow them in person?” Brighton asks. “Because those two can hide in the shadows. If they don’t want to be seen then they won’t be. Think back to when they first showed up here.” I tell them. They all go quiet because they know I am right. If those two girls don’t want to be seen, you won’t see them. “What would have happened if those fuckers got their hands on them,” Kaleb mentions. This is the first thing he has said. I know it killed him to walk by Kylani and not look at her. I let out a
Fifty-Five: Interrogation: Dustin We get down to the cells, and everyone else is already there. Mykayla, Natalya, and Nymyra are there. Nymyra seems to be aware of what is about to happen. Everyone just sits there outside of the cell, watching the three vamps. The three wolves we caught before are in the cell across from the vamps. “None of you have the power to keep us in this cell. How is this possible.” One of the demands. “You are right none of them have the power, but we do,” Two voices say in unison. The vamps turn around, and you can see the terror in their eyes. Behind them stand Mykenzie and Kylani. HOLEY FUCKING SHIT! They are standing there, and you can feel the power floating in the air. Mykenzie is in a dark forest green dress that wraps around her body, just barely covering it. Kylani has on a similar dress, only in navy blue. I look at Kaleb, and he is practically drooling. They both have on these thigh-high boots in metallic silver. They both have
Fifty-Six: Apologies & Wings Kylani I go back to the house and change out of my dress. I put on a pair of cargo pants and an off-the-shoulder shirt with a low cutback. I wish I could wear normal fucking shirts and t-shirts, but those fucking fae genes decided to give Mykenzie and me something that no fae has had in thousands of years. Thank god we have been able to hide them from everyone so far. I knew sooner or later, we would have to show them, but I hope not. Kaleb is already pissed at me for the spying thing. I can only imagine when he finds out I have fucking wings. God damn, recessive fae genes. I look in the mirror at my wings. They are actually pretty. They are big, and their colour is an iridescent blue to silver colour. They shine. I flatten them against my body to hide them. This wasn’t supposed to happen. The fae bred out the wings to make it easier to blend with humans. Of course, we would get the stupid recessive genes. I ask Mykenzie where she is, and s
Fifty-Seven: Forever Soul Bonded Kaleb When they walked into the rec room, I was so glad to see Kylani. When she smiled back at me, my heartbeat increased. Everything seemed to be ok until she pulled her hand out of mine. I knew something bad was going to happen. I knew whatever it was that they were going to show us, they didn’t want to. When Kylani started crying, all I wanted to do was pull her into my arms and hold her tight. I watched as Kylani and Mykenzie stepped away from each other. I stood there and watched as they both extended wings from their backs. I watched as these beautiful silvery-blue wings extended from the back of my sexy goddess. I was mesmerized. I saw the tears rolling down her face, and I tried to grab her, but she vanished before I could get a hold of her. Mykenzie gives us the green light to touch her wings, but I can only think about Kylani. I want to be with her so bad right now. I have no idea where she went. I knew she wouldn’t go back to
Fifty-Eight: Allies Chris We were sitting in the rec room when my cell rang. I looked at the caller id and was surprised to see who was calling. Why the hell is Deklan calling me? This has me both angry and my curiosity piqued. I answer the call and walk out of the rec room to take the call. Deklan and I talk for about half an hour. I end the call and stand there for a minute in shock. He wants to become allies with the pack and has a couple of friends who want to align themselves with the pack. I am not sure how to react. He wants to meet with the ranking members and me. I told him there was no way that my sisters would not be in that meeting. He kind of figured that they would be. I put my phone in my pocket and returned to the rec room. This is going to be one interesting conversation. “So I just got a call from the vamp that helped the wolves try and kidnap the kids,” I tell them. I hear a low growl, and I know that has angered some of the guys. I sigh and explain
Fifty-Nine: Allies Part 2 Deklan I am driving to the meeting place that Chris has told us to show up at. I am driving to the location separately from Marcus and Jason. I am super nervous about this meeting. I know the pack and I are not on good terms considering I was part of the plot to kidnap some of the kids from the pack. I arrive at the designated parking lot and see that Marcus and Jason are already there. I walk up to them, and we greet each other. We are better friends than Zane and I are. I have no idea why I agreed to help Zane. I have never really trusted him. The three of us stand there for a bit, waiting. “Where is this place at?” Marcus asks. “I am not sure. Someone is supposed to come and take us there..” I explain. “Hello, gentleman,” Chris says. The three of us turn around, and there Chris stands. He has a neutral look on his face. I gulp because I know that if he is here, so are Mykenzie and Kylani. I look at Marcus and Jason; they are just starin
Dominick I am exhausted. I have never been this tired before. Dimitri and I got a vast majority of the leaders of the supernatural beings together and explained what was going on. So far, we had obtained the DNA and blood from all of the known animals in existence, DNA and blood from all of the original vampires, the Fae king himself had given us his DNA and blood, the mermaids had contributed as well, and of course, Dimitri and I had added our DNA and blood into the mix. I sat back and looked at all the other DNA and blood I had gotten over the last week I travelled. This made me realize how many supernatural beings we actually knew. “Are things going well?” Zeus asks. “Dimitri is out traveling to the beings he knows. We know so many and some only know him or me. I just got back last night and he left this morning.” I explain. “I am impressed with everything you two are doing.” He admits. I know when Aphrodite first granted the two of us our wolves, and we vowed always t
Chapter 2 Dominick I knew when I saw Vepar slinking around town that something was up. Dimitri and I had known that she and Asmoday were mates for years now. We honestly didn’t care so we kept our mouths shut. Mates are important to our kind so we weren’t going to ruin their happiness. We often saw the two of them sneaking around to be together. However, the way she was slinking around tonight raised our hackles. We kept in the shadows and watched the shack she went into. It was not long after that we saw Penthesilea, Phlegyas, and some witch at the door. We never did see Asmoday enter, but when we got closer we could hear his voice. We also heard another male voice but we could only see Vepar, Asmoday, Penthesilea, and Phlegyas. We listened as Vepar explained her plan. I looked at Dimitri. We stayed there through their entire meeting and left before they started leaving the shack. “They have got to be out of their minds,” Dimitri says. “I can’t believe that Shade was a
Ok everyone here is the first two chapters of book number #2. The title is: Hidden by the Gods. I might post a couple more chapters for everyone. I am hoping to have the majority of the book out by the beginning of April. I want to make sure it is as well-received as the last book. Hope everyone likes it. Chapter 1 Vepar “Just look at them sitting there all high and mighty,” I say. “I know. They think they are so special and so important.” My friend says. The two of us were sitting there watching the gods. They were all there drinking, eating, and relaxing as if nothing could touch them. They are so fucking self-absorbed and consider themselves above everyone else. It’s time that someone brought them down a few notches. Now to figure out how to bring them down. I looked at my friend and I knew I couldn’t trust her with the idea brewing in my head. I needed people that thought like me. The twelve main gods had been in power now for 2000 years and in that time they ha
Epilogue Aphrodite Persephone, Athena, Hera, Imyra, and I are sitting here watching everything that is going on in the backyard. Everyone is here, well, except Kaleb and Kylani. They are supposed to get back from their honeymoon tomorrow. It has been six months since everything happened. It took a good two weeks for Mykenzie, Kylani, and Mykayla to fully recover. Poor Mykenzie has been so lost without her sister. Kylani has been gone for two weeks. The last time the two of them were separated this long was when Reecie and Mykenzie were on their honeymoon. Chris has been with Mykenzie since Kylani left, trying to keep her from being so depressed. As much as my three kids fight, they are so close it is scary. They can feel each other’s emotions. They know when each other is sad, happy, angry, and so on. I thought Nymyra might get jealous of how much time Chris and Mykenzie are spending together, but she wasn’t. I think she understands. I have no doubt that Kylani misses M
One-Hundred Seventy-Five: Aftermath Part 2 Mykayla It has been a week since the incident on the island. I am finally starting to feel like myself again. I knew I was powerful but I had no idea I was that powerful. I had absolutely no idea that I was the rarest type of phoenix. I was both surprised and in awe at that fact. I have to admit that it is pretty amazing that I am a supernatural creature that was supposed to be a pure myth. All of us are out back by the pool. Mykenzie, Kylani, and I have been spending a lot of time out here in the sun. It seemed to help us recover faster. Everything seemed to be back to normal. Although I can sense a difference in Seth. He has kinda avoided the three of us. He is sitting there watching Mariah, Aiden, Kaycen, Dimitrus, Tiayna, and Mateo. Tiayna and Mateo have gotten so big. Tiayna is the perfect mix of Bryn and Donte. Mateo is a mini Donte all the way. The only difference is that Mateo’s skin tone is a few shades lighter than D
One-Hundred Seventy-Four: Aftermath Kaleb I felt bad keeping the kids away from their mothers. Jordyn really wanted to be with her mother after everything that had happened. The last 24 hours have been rough. When we got back to the packhouse after the bullshit rogue attack, I was pissed. When we realized who had been kidnapped, I became even angrier. They took my daughter, those fucking bastards. When Chris suddenly appeared after the deafening clap of thunder and roar, I knew my goddess knew her child had been taken. I no longer cared if she lost her shit. What transpired over the next few hours will stay with me forever. Chris transported us to that island, and we watched as Mykayla changed in front of our faces. Then my goddess and her sister became one, and the amount of power that was wafting through the air on that island was indescribable. __FLASHBACK__ The wall of water and fire vanished, and the sky was clear. It was like nothing had ever happened. I looked ar
One-Hundred Seventy-Three: The Storm Part 2 Dustin I couldn’t believe that we fell for that stupid rogue attack. I knew something was off when we got to the area where the attack was happening. I kept going after the rogues, but they kept just dodging out of the way. Like the others, when I woke up that morning, I noticed that Mykayla was not there. I found the note she had left letting me know that there had been an emergency family meeting called. I thought that was weird. I know Mykenzie and Kylani would not call a meeting; if I remember right, they were the only two who could call one on such short notice. I got up and dressed all three kids for the day. I talked to Mykayla a few days ago about finding another nanny. Satyira moved to the new packhouse with Draydon. I was walking out of the nursery with my two youngest when Dominick and his partner in crime ran by. “You two get back here.” I heard Reecie yell. I saw them stop and turn around. I don’t think either of
One-Hundred Seventy-Two: The Storm Part 1 Chris I knew something was wrong as soon as we arrived in the meeting room. No one else was there. I looked around and then at my sisters, Mykayla, Alexis, Bryn, and Jailynn. I could see the irritation on my sister’s face. The seven of us walked out of the room and down the hall. We ran into Dionysus. He looks surprised to see us here. “Not that I am not happy to see all my nieces and my nephew, but what are you doing here?” Dionysus asked us. “We were sent a message this morning that there was an emergency family meeting called. So here we are.” Bryn states. “No one called an emergency meeting as far as I know.” He replies. I hear an irritated growl, and I know it is from one of my sisters. I can tell Uncle Dionysus here’s it also, and he starts walking faster. It is no secret that for the last few weeks that my sisters have been irritated for some reason. They have been in a mood, and no one has messed with them. Even A
One-Hundred Seventy-One: Dark Skies Part 2 Asmoday I have been away from my main island now for about a week. I needed to check on my other islands and see what was going on. After the loss of the one island that I had been holding Haze in, I decided that I needed to keep a better eye on the others. I am still pissed that little twat I kept in charge let Haze slip through my fingers. As it turns out, he was killed when the building collapsed. Since then, I re-evaluated everyone I had working for me. I have made several changes and gotten rid of a few that I knew were going to cause me problems. Darrius and Thomas have joined me on this island. The three of us are due to return to the main island tomorrow. “Did your guy give you a time when he might show up?” I ask Darrius. “Not an exact time, but late morning or early afternoon,” Darrius replies. “Has he given any kind of hint about his plan?” I ask. “No, but he did say that we would be very excited with the five to s
