Forty-Six: Return Kylani It was late when we got back to the packhouse. I knew everyone would still be up and waiting for us. We made our way down to the rec room. I knew that’s where everyone would be. Besides, it is the only room big enough to hold all of us at once. I was right; as I walked down into the rec room, I was pulled into a pair of strong arms. I looked up at him, and his eyes were red-rimmed. I touched his face, and Kaleb looked at me. “I am ok,” I tell him. “I know; I was just worried,” Kaleb whispers. Kaleb doesn’t let go of me, and we sit down on one of the chairs. I sit down on his lap. Between Mykenzie and I, explain who the fuckers were that tried this shit. I told them that we didn’t recognize any of the wolves. I do tell them that we did capture three of the vampires. “Our dungeon isn’t equipped to hold vamps,” Dustin says. “Don’t worry, and we made some upgrades to the dungeon. They can hold any creature now.” I say. I tell them that we w
Forty-Seven: Cousin Dustin I was very happy when those girls walked in last night. I was not sure how much longer I could keep Kaleb from going and searching for her. The last thing I needed was him taking off to find her and get caught in the middle of whatever was happening. I knew if he got hurt or worse, she would go full goddess, which is dangerous. When they told us that they caught three of the vamps helping to kidnap the kids, I was shocked. I knew our cells couldn’t hold vamps, but apparently, they have done something to ensure that the vamps can’t get out. I am sitting in my office. I want to meet with all the guys to figure out where we go from here. I mind-linked everyone and texted Chris and the guys. I can’t send them a mind link. What the fuck? Kaleb has a block up, and I can’t get through. I start to worry about why he has a block up. I hope they are not fighting and that everything is good between them. The rest of the guys walk in, and I look at Reecie.
Forty-Eight: New Mates Chris When Dustin’s cousin Nymyra walked in, I was speechless. She is fucking sexy as hell. She is tall at 5’8” with long deep purple hair. Her eyes are fucking sexy as hell that deep blue damn near purple color. She has the perfect hourglass figure and I just want to run my hands up and down her body. Her fucking scent was delicious. She has this intoxicating caramel and vanilla scent. It made my mouth water. I could see some tattoos peeking out from underneath her shirt. I go back to my room and take off my shirt. I look at myself and wonder if she would be interested in me. Probably not. She looked at me but I knew she figured out who I was once my sisters came into the room. That was almost a fucking disaster. I am glad Dustin made Kaleb and Reecie get them back to their rooms as fast as he did. I look at myself in the mirror. I am 6’5” with pale strawberry-blonde hair. I keep my hair long just because I don’t like how I look with short hair
Forty-Nine: Mating and Marking Chris I tell whoever is at my door to come in. I hear the door open and then shut. I still have my eyes closed because it’s probably one of the guys coming to talk about the recent events and the vamps. I hear the lock click and think that’s weird, but I pay no attention. I hear them walk over to the bed, and I am waiting for them to talk. Suddenly, I felt someone straddle me and a soft pair of lips pressed to mine. My hands attach to a set of hips, and my mind is having a problem registering what is going on. That’s when the caramel and vanilla scent hits my nose, and I know who it is. I grab her ass and lick along her bottom lip. She opens her lips, and I slip my tongue into her mouth and taste her. Fuck she tastes fantastic. I hear her leave out a soft moan, and I can feel myself growing hard. She pulls away and sits up. I look at her, and fucking damn, she is absolutely beautiful. She runs her hands up and down my chest, and I groan.
Fifty: Argument Zane We got back to the packhouse and everyone dropped onto chairs or the floor. Again another plan that didn’t go how it was supposed to. I thought we were in the clear. The kids had gotten off the bus, and we were so close when out of the forest came those animals. THEY WERE FUCKING HUGE! When the tiger let out his roar, I thought I might be deaf after. I had gotten my friend, who was a vampire, to help. He and his coven that they and were more than willing to help bring them down. We had lost three more of our guys, and three of his guys had been captured. My friend wasn’t able to be here, he had other business he had to attend to, but many of his best had been there to help. We had just sat down when my buddy showed up, and he was pissed. He had his second in command with him. Now I had to tell him that three of his guys had been captured. “You fucking jackass. You didn’t tell me that the pack has them on their side.” Deklan yells at me. “What the f
Fifty-One: Planning the Date Dustin I am sitting at my desk at work. It has been one month since the attempted kidnapping, and I know those bastards are still out there. We still have the three vamps in our cells. We have tried to get information out of them, but so far, we have had no luck. We have been debating on letting Kylani and Mykenzie at them. We haven’t yet, but I think we are going to have to let them get the answers we need. Everything has been going well besides that. Bryn had the twins two weeks ago, and as I guessed, it was a boy and a girl. The girl looks a lot like Bryn. They named her Tiayna Alanya Monoco. She has curly dark brown hair with Donte’s silver-coloured eyes. The boy they named Mateo Antonio Monoco. He has curly dark blonde hair with Bryn’s aqua blue-coloured eyes. At least the girl’s heat was over. That was a harrowing experience having all of them in heat at the same time. I had to pull rank several times as fucking Kylani kept coming dow
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
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
