Seventeen: Heat Mykayla When I woke up the next morning, I was actually feeling worse. Dustin had already gone. He and the guys had some errands to do in town and were going to go to the next town over and pick up some food from everyone's favorite restaurant. My whole body ached, and I am pretty sure I had a fever. I climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. I decided on a cold shower which did help. I was still hot, but it seemed to cool me down a bit. I walked downstairs and joined everyone for breakfast. The girls asked if I was feeling well, and I said no and that I thought I had the flu. I wasn’t very hungry and just sat there and talked with everyone. I could feel the fever coming back, and I stood up to head back up to my room. When I stood up, my whole abdomen cramped up and my whole body felt like I was going to burst into flames. I have never had cramps like that before. I knew it wasn’t that time of the month, which happened last week. I bent over in pai
Eighteen: The Meeting Dustin Mykayla’s heat only lasted two days. As amazing as it was, I am tired. That girl actually wore me out. I am not complaining at all. I thoroughly enjoyed every second, but I am pretty sure I haven’t slept in 24 hours. Luckily I have one more day to recover before returning to work. I am just glad it’s over, for Mykayla’s sake. I hated watching her in all that pain. I am desperately hoping she has a pup growing inside her. I will be watching her carefully, if she is carrying my pup her scent should change soon. I am currently sitting in my office waiting for Kaleb, Nate, Natalya, Ashton, and Brighton to show up. We have a meeting in a half-hour with the triplets that Natalya knows. She is certain that they can help with our problems. Rogue sightings have increased, and we know there are at least three people spying on Mykayla. I haven’t received any more pictures, but Mykayla told me that she had had a weird feeling the last two days as if she
Nineteen: The Beta and his Goddess Kaleb I finally found my mate, and I was happy about it, but shit, she’s a fucking goddess. Not like I will treat my mate as my goddess, but like a real goddess. I leave Dustin’s office and walk back to my room. I closed and locked the door as I walked in. I really just want to be alone right now. I am not sure how to handle this. I am just a werewolf; what is that in comparison to her? I swear I can still smell her intoxicating scent of chocolate, raspberry with a hint of coconut. God, she smells amazing! Kylani, what a sexy name. She is everything I want, but she is unattainable. I grab my shirt, pulling it over my head as I lay down on my bed, throwing one of my arms over my eyes. I replay the meeting in my head. She came and sat by me during our discussion, making my heart just about burst from my chest. I even felt her hand touch mine and the spark it sent shooting up my arm. I swear, by the end of the meeting; she was sitting s
Twenty: Training and Mates Dustin I could hear several voices as I made my way down to the kitchen for breakfast this morning. I am still worried about Kaleb. I have been trying to mind-link him for the last hour, but he has a block up. I was going to try last night, but I figured he needed some time to himself. I knew he was having a hard time coming to terms with Kylani being a goddess, but I still believe he is overthinking the whole situation. Chris said they would be back today, and he said he would bring some friends to help with everything. I asked if they were more gods, and he said that some were half-gods (otherwise known as demigods), but most were immortal. Mykayla is with me as we walk into the kitchen since the girls have already left for school. We were supposed to work today, but I called the office and let them know we had a family problem that I had to deal with. Plus, both of us can work from home if needed. Thank god that there is nothing important going o
Twenty-One: Happy Surprise Mykayla I know Dustin is worried about me. I haven’t been eating well, and when I did, I would vomit soon after, so what is the point? While it is true the stress of everything is affecting me, there is more than just that. I started to suspect something about one week ago. I told him one day while we were working that I needed to run an errand at lunch. While it was partially true, it was also a way to make sure I was alone when I went and picked up the proof I needed. After I had taken the test and it said positive, I hurried and got rid of the evidence. I am pregnant and am scared. I am sure Dustin will be happy, but this is the worst timing. With whoever is out there watching us and everything else going on, this is the last thing we need right now. Besides, Dustin and I have only been together for three months. I went back to work and tried to act like nothing was wrong. I know he has caught on, but he is not pressuring me to tell him what
Twenty-Two: Change in Plan Unknown Well, today did not go as I planned at all. It has been four months since we started keeping tabs on the pack. During this time, the Alpha had found his mate. It was now obvious she was carrying his pup. I was not happy to find out this information, but having both Alpha Dustin’s mate and pup could be beneficial. I could raise the pup and turn it against Silver Moon. We had been watching them long enough now that we knew that her and Natalya would go to town every Sunday for a girl's day. Sometimes they would have the two younger girls with them. Today it was just the two of them. Which is good or well, that's what we wanted. There were 16 of us watching and following the two of them. I must admit that the Alpha’s mate is beautiful, and I am starting to think that maybe she should be my Luna. I have been racking my brain as to why he hasn’t turned her yet. As I sat at a table across the street watching her, I noticed she and Natalya had
Twenty-Three: Aftermath Dustin I was very sceptical about letting Mykayla and Natalya go and have their normal girls' day out. Mykayla was starting to show; she was even more captivating now that her belly was rounded with my pup. We were unsure of how long she would carry. A normal wolf pregnancy was five months, but humans carry for nine months. I figured it would be somewhere in between. I was also worried about the entire pregnancy. Human women were not made to carry pups. Mykayla asked about me changing her, but Chris stepped in and said that would be deadly. When I asked why he said he wanted to check into a few things and would get back to me. He had also said that if his hunch were right, Mykayla would have no problems carrying and birthing this pup or any future pups. For some reason, I completely believed him. We (all twelve of us guys) were sitting in the rec room when Kaleb suddenly jumped up and grabbed his right side as if someone had hurt him. We all looked
Twenty-Four: ComfortKalebI was standing in the shower letting the hot water relax my muscles. The last two days have been hell. SOMEONE WENT AFTER MY LUNA! NOT JUST MY LUNA BUT MY GODDESS AS WELL!! These fuckers are going to die. This, I promise. My mind is racing at the thought of them cornering them on that backstreet. I have no idea how long I have been standing under the water. I feel a hand touch my face and then slide down to my chest. I feel a nail graze my nipple, open my eyes, and look down. There standing in front of me is my goddess. God, she is so fucking sexy. Those tattoos ran and wrapped around her body. I let my eyes roam further to her perfect breasts and the bars running through each delectable nipple. My eyes continue their journey down her delicious body to her belly. She has her belly button pierced, but what has me more concerned is what if she is carrying my pup. This makes a new surge of anger rise. I quickly try and push it down. I decide to
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
