Eighty: Self Reflection Mykayla These last two years have been very enlightening, to say the least. First, I find out that I have fae blood in me. That was a surprise, but ok, that explained a lot of the differences between me and some of my friends. I am the mate of a werewolf. Again, I'm not expecting that, but hey, my man is fucking sexy and ridiculously sweet. I guess I can’t argue that much. The biggest surprise was that I had not only fae blood but that my father, who I thought was dead, was alive. Not only is he alive, but he is Poseidon, the god of the ocean. Now that I think about it, that would explain why growing up that he travelled for his job so much. I am glad that he is alive, and over the two months, we have gotten to know each other. I was mad at first, but I understood why he pretended to die in the house fire. Bree has become very close to dad, which I am glad about. We have also been able to meet many of our aunts and uncles. I did find out that both
Eighty-One: Powers Mykayla Well, these last two weeks have been very revealing. The guys sent the animals (all except for Ember. Ember gave birth to four pups) out to search for those assholes. I think they have a good idea of where they are but have not found them yet. Dominick, Xaydyn, and Jordyn are completely enamoured with the pups. Watching them sit there by Ember and watch the pups is so cute. One of the pups keeps wiggling towards Dominick. It’s the same colour as Dustin’s wolf, which is weird since Onyx is solid black and Ember is the colour of fire. I am sitting out back by the fire pit, staring into the fire and watching it swirl around as I twirl my finger. Mykenzie and Kylani helped me with bringing all my powers to the surface, and to say what was discovered was a shock is an understatement. Apparently, Dimitri’s brother added a supernatural creature to Mykenzie and Kylani’s blood that no one realized, and that particular creature predominated in my blood. Ch
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
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
