Ninety-Six: Delivery At WorkKalebThat talk with the girls had to be the worst ever. I can’t believe they thought we were going to have that talk with them. I could sense both of the girls getting anxious. I wasn’t sure why since none of us was nervous. When Araya started talking about sex and babies, I was horrified. I am pretty sure Dustin and Chris felt the same way. When Kylani and Mykenzie started hysterically laughing at the situation, I wanted to be mad but couldn’t get the words out to tell them to shut up. I still can’t believe I stuttered when I talked. It was embarrassing. Kylani continued to tease me after that. I just ignored her. I can’t imagine having to have that talk with my girls. I shake my head and decide to focus on work. I am sitting in my office in our main building. Work has been going well. We have many new contracts in the works. I am going to have to travel to Greece and Spain in a few weeks, and I am not looking forward to it. I really don
Ninety-Seven: Training Grounds Ashton Brighton and I are at the training grounds. We are here training, but also to find out who is taking the pictures. Josh and Peter are also here watching their mates train. Our head trainer asked the four of them if they would like to start training with us. They said yes. Obviously, he will have to modify training since they are human. They have worked out with us in the gym, and I have to admit they are strong. Seth and Josh used to participate in street and underground fighting. I have just finished sparring, and I am sitting by Peter. We are sitting there talking when he gives me a look. “Those are the two guys,” Peter whispers. I look around at the training grounds. I am trying to act like I am not looking at them. I have seen them around, but I don’t know them personally. I think they have been in the pack for a while. I quickly mind-linked Brighton to let him know that they are there. He is over-talking our head trainer. I
Ninety-Eight: Bringing Them In Dustin We are watching these two morons from the other side of the one-way window. We could see them, but they couldn’t see us. I had a couple of my warriors bring them in today, as Marus asked. Standing here watching these two, I can already tell that Brandon is right. They don’t seem to be the brightest of the bunch. Marcus and Jason have been gathering information on these two for the last week, and they have not found much. These two have been part of the pack for six years and have never caused any issues. They are decent fighters and work in town. I have a feeling that they were offered a decent amount of money to follow the girls and take the pictures. Chris let us know that his sisters already knew about being followed and taking pictures. Why does this not surprise me? I guess the fact that they had control of who, when, and where this was happening is better than being blindsided. I have decided to let Nate question them. He is t
Ninety-Nine: Tracking Dustin I couldn’t believe our luck when I was told about who Payton happened across. Maybe luck is finally on our side. Chris showed Marcus and Jason the way to use the tracker since it was one of his powers. He put the way to look in their surveillance room. I just hope Kylani and Mykenzie can’t feel it is being used. Chris said they couldn’t, but I didn't have much hope because they always seemed to know what was going on. We have been tracking the bear for three days now, and he seems to be hanging around town. He comes and goes from the opposite side of town we are on. Brandon has been watching the area, but there is nothing there. We did notice that the area is very close to Alpha Darrius’s territory. Just like I thought, they were hiding there. I knew he was a shady asshole, but I never thought he would pull this shit. I have talked to dad about everything, and he agrees that if we can prove that Alpha Darrius is helping them that we might be
One-hundred: Setting the Bear Trap Kaleb We have been tracking the bear, who we finally figured was Ian. He is what Nate would be in our pack. It has been two weeks that we have been following him. He is still the only one that we have been able to find. He seems to be the one that goes out to meet with the others. “We got a visual on where the bears are located on Alpha Darrius’s territory,” Jason announces. “Damn it, Jason, can you not yell and scare the shit out of us,” I tell him. He slammed open the door to Dustin’s office in the packhouse and announced this bit of information. At least we are finally getting somewhere at finding these assholes. Marcus walks in after him and smacks him on the back of his head. “How did you guys finally find them?” Dustin asks. “They left out a large metal tub and guess what it collected in it? It is filled with water.” Marcus admits. “I am going to have to thank Poseidon for giving us that way to spy,” Dustin replies. We
One-Hundred One: Catching the Bear Chris I believe I have come up with a plan to catch Ian. Oh, I can’t wait to get my hands on this bastard. My sisters are why those three can even shift in bears. I know my sisters were pissed when they found out who the three bears were. Even though they didn’t show it, I know they were also hurt by their betrayal. I did learn from Brandon that each of the bears wants to steal one of the girls for themselves. The only problem with my plan is convincing Marcus to agree to it. “So I think I have a way to catch Ian,” I announce. “Ok, good cause the rest of us are drawing a blank,” Draydon admits. “So Brandon told me that he found out that each one of the bears has fixated on one of the girls,” I say. Of course, as expected, this causes many of the guys to growl. I think the same because I sure as hell don’t want any of them touching Nymyra. However, it is not Nymyra that Ian wants. “Go on,” Payton says. “Well, I think that we should u
One-Hundred Two: Talking to the Bear Dustin We have Ian down in a cell chained to the wall. Whatever Mykenzie and Kylani did makes it impossible for any shifter to shift. In fact, any supernatural being is unable to use their powers down here. He is still out cold from the sedative we used. I hear someone walking up to where the rest of us are. I turn to see Rye carrying something. I am hoping we can get through this without the girls finding out. I thought our plan was going to end in disaster when Mykenzie and Kylani showed up at the cafe. Thankfully they continued on their way. “What is that?” I ask. "This will reverse the sedative, and he will wake up. He will be disoriented at first but should come around quickly.” Rye explains. Good, the sooner we can get him to talk, the faster we can get the other two. I am hoping whatever he tells us is also something I can take to the elders, and we can get rid of Darrius as well. We watch as Rye walks into the cell and
One-Hundred Three: Time for a New Plan Damian Those Silver Moon bastards captured Ian. How the fuck did they do that. Marshall and I are in the cabin, and we are pissed. We just got the news from Alpha Darrius. One of the guys on patrol found a sealed envelope with my name on it and gave it to Darrius. He can come over here with Thomas and hand it to him. It was a picture of Ian in a cell with chains around his wrists and ankles anchored to the floor. All the note said was that we were next. Those fuckers are going to pay for this. I want to kill everyone one of them. To add to the insult, we still have no idea how they are spying on us. They seem to be two fucking steps ahead. “How the hell did they get their hands on him?” Marshall asks. “I don’t know,” I tell him. It’s the honest truth. I have no idea. He is always so careful and very aware of his surroundings. They had to have some type of distraction to make him lose his focus. I know Darrius is getting wo
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
