LUCY:

Sparks ran down both sides of my neck as Liam and Leon both publicly claimed me in a way that I had never experienced by anyone before.

Being acknowledged in such a profound way made my heart feel like it could burst.

'The things that dress make me want to do to you, Lucy,' Liam lets me know exactly how he feels as his growl sends shivers through my soul.

'Just wait until you take it off.' Leon comments, making it known that we're linking together.

I smile like they're not affecting me at all as we exit the stage.

I didn't miss Savina's stares. She felt empty when I looked at her ever since I saw what was inside of her.

The next several hours went smoothly.

Theo's grand fireworks entrance electrified the atmosphere of the festival and took everyone's eyes off me. I appreciated this so much.

"Luna," Acelynn bows at me.

"None of that. I'm not Luna yet, and I prefer just Lucy," I smile, lifting her head with her chin.

I can't believe she is out of the hospital already. She looks br

    LUCY:"That was quite the announcement," Seth says as he reaches our table."Kragen already knows she is with us, and he is somewhere hiding like a coward anyway. There is no reason to deny Lucy her title anymore," Leon explains their decision to start saying things as they truly were.I guess I was so used to hiding who I was that I felt it was normal when it really wasn't normal at all.Seth sits down next to Liam, across from Leon and me. I can tell he is trying not to look at me too much. I suddenly felt bad about wearing this dress.'Lucy-' Nia starts to say something, but Seth speaks up, and we both snap to his attention."I agree. If anything, your announcement may spread and get him to come out of hiding," he looks at me briefly before pausing and looking at Leon."I know tonight is important with the festival going on, but I was hoping to train with Lucy tonight for a while. Her challenge is tomorrow, and I think she could use a warm-up beforehand," Seth says, looking at Liam

    Liam:After Lucy left, the festival broke apart, and people went about their night a bit more. I could tell that Leon noticed everyone constantly swarming around Lucy as well.We spend the next hour mingling and praising the pack. So many had contributed to the festival in noticeable ways.Dad always taught us that praise created loyalty that fear could never match. "I know Seth is our best friend, but I still don't trust him with Lucy," I say as we leave the last tent at the border of the festival.Even after what happened with Lucy and Seth, Leon seemed hardly concerned.Leon ignores most of what I say. As I look up at him, I turn in the direction he is smiling.Tricia and Saul are coming out of the tree lines looking rather smitten."You'd feel if they did anything, brother. Trust Lucy. I'm not wasting any more time overthinking what I want. I want her, that's all. You'd be wise to change your mindset before you push her away again." Leon tells me in a round about how he isn't thr

    Lucy:Was I imagining that? Was I starting to feel things that I wanted to just because I had some feelings or connection with Seth?I couldn't stop thinking about his touch.I could tell that Seth's intentions were not just to help me warm up before tomorrow, but rather, he was worried about me.I hadn't been inside the gym much. It was spacious. At least three hundred warriors could train here comfortably."Stretch," Seth says with a smile. "You're not going to scold me for being petty? I do have another reason, you know? Whether some of my reasoning has bad intentions, I also want to help Gatheo," I explained.I sit down and start stretching my legs, waiting for him to speak up, but he just looks at me thoughtfully instead.Never prying too much, just letting me speak as I do naturally."You know I could never scold you for that, Lucy. I was there that night and the following day. I just needed to know, and I needed you to admit it out loud. Now come on," he says, extending his ha

    Lucy:As I suspected, they wanted me to light the bonfire with my magic.The magic Sybil spoke of was now starting to take some effect, and it felt like it already had for both of my mates for most of this day."I don't think this is a good idea," Seth finally voiced his opinion.Liam led us to the City Hall, where Leon was with Leander, Sybil, Trish, Saul, and a man whom I'm guessing is Theo.The moment my eyes met Theo's, he tilted his head and smiled widely."You must be Lucy," he bows after grabbing my hand and kissing the top of it.'What the hell?' I ask Nia.I can feel her lurch forward, but she doesn't say a word.I pulled my hand back and smiled politely, even though I felt very weird about his actions."You must be Theo! It's so nice to meet you. I have so many questions for you!" I say, remembering he was a real wizard.The child in me was fangirling."It's better the pack knows now than to have them find out later. Lucy is just as much a Fae as she is a werewolf. The pack m

    "Let's go for a swim!" Liam says, ripping off his clothes like he's burning up, yet it's not warm at all.I look around to see everyone doing just about the same thing.'This is my kind of festival,' Nia giggles.'Could you hear Seth? Am I going crazy?' I ask her, taking off my sweater now."Wait up!" I hear Trish from behind us.Liam and Leon pause, standing in their briefs leisurely like it's the middle of the summer."What about my vision?" Trish says, catching her breath as Saul strides up behind her."The Mood Goddess protects us. We give offerings and truth in exchange for this night of celebrations and the blessings within the pack," Leon shrugs casually like it's part of his personality, but I know that's not true.No one is themselves, and yet I don't feel any different at all."Don't you think we should be strategizing nonetheless? What if Zeak takes the opportunity to strike first thing in the morning when he thinks we will be weak from everyone staying out late at the festi

    Lucy:Under the spell that was the lands of the Silver Throne Fae, my mates and I were consumed with unbridled lust and desire.Maybe this was our truth, the raw need for each other. Yet, something was always standing in the way. I was probably the most guilty person in this department, but tonight, I wasn't going to be.I could feel Leon's canines pierce the outer layer of my skin. A small drop of blood runs down my neck.Liam has me on the brink of ecstasy when we hear a twig snap.Liam and Leon immediately push me behind them. I was unprepared, dipping into the water without their support to hold me up.Coming back up for air, I grab Liam's shoulder as I gasp for breath after taking water into my lungs."What are you doing here?" Leon hisses.I can't see over their big frames."Let me up!" I whine in Liam's ear.I grab his shoulders and lift myself. He catches my legs, looping them in his arms like a piggyback ride.My face drops as I see Savina standing next to the spring with her

    Leon:"Why is he here?" Liam grumbles as we get closer to the training grounds.It's clear he wants to hate Lucy being around Seth, but it's starting to feel like he's trying too hard to hate it.I roll my eyes, but I can't help but tune into their conversation. Liam had to have been doing the same thing. We shared a curious glance before calling out what we heard.'I have to admit, I feel bad for Seth,' Liam links me as we watch him helping Lucy with her defensive moves.They really did train fluidly together. They moved with one another like a dance. It's the first time I've seen Seth look that happy.'So stop being an ass. Our mate cares for him, and he's our best friend,' I link back.'What if she never gets over him?' Liam questions through our link.I look over at him with a smile. He knows my answers to this already. What he is really asking is if I still care because she already has two mates.'I already told you how I felt, Liam; nothing has changed because she's mated to yo

    Lucy:I knew something wasn't right the moment I finally pinned her down, and she started laughing.'Shift,' Nia encouraged me, but I couldn't; my insides felt frozen.The longer I was frozen, the more I felt Nia shrinking further into me.Savina always had ill intentions toward me. This much I could feel in her presence. I had assumed this had to do with being Leon's mate, but there's something I'm missing.Nia can't reach me nor can I reach her now.'Mate, get up!' I hear Liam scream through the link, breaking me from the trance I had with Savina.'What's wrong?' Leon links immediately after.I feel like my soul was nearly ripped from me, and my lungs were run over by a truck."How did you do that?" I say, barely a whisper, as I continue to catch my breath.I get to my feet shakily, stumbling backward as she laughs at me again.'Nia,' I whisper, searching for any sign of her.I can't feel her anymore. It's like she was never there to begin with."I told you to forfeit. This didn't h

    SETH:I was originally curious as to why no one could leave or visit Lucy during this process.No one questioned it, of course, but after three days, that felt like twice as much. It was clear why this process required her mates and why visitors weren't allowed.The first night, the master bedroom was wrecked within hours.The only things that were not broken, smashed, or damaged were the bed itself and other large furniture.Lucy switched from her Fae form to her human form on and off for an entire day.There weren't any warning signs when it happened, leaving all of us on edge.I can still hear her screaming bloody murder through the first night she held her human form. The three of us speculated what was causing the screams, whether it be nightmares, visions, or reliving experiences I couldn't imagine.There was no soothing her. Her stare was void of emotion or presence.The way her eyes glazed over haunts me to my core still. Dax was itching to go for a run. He's struggling to wa

    Lucy:The bag lay on its side in the middle of the table like a centerpiece.Flowers would look nice there, I think to myself as I walk across the kitchen to the dining room table to sit down.Seth grabs me by the waist and pulls me into his lap as I walk by."Sorry about earlier," he says, kissing my cheek.He's wearing a plain black shirt and blue jeans, his hair still wet from a shower."It's been a long day for everyone. It's okay not to be perfect," I remind him."I do appreciate the apology, though. Are you caught up on your work duties?" I ask, running my fingers through his damp, silky hair."No. I brought what's left here, and now that we have phones, it will be easier to do what I need to," he smiles.His smile isn't as bright as usual. I haven't asked who didn't make it. I'm not sure I can handle it if it's someone I know and they aren't offering the information.Liam impatiently slides the leather bag across the dark oak tabletop.The metal from the strap glistens under th

    Lucy:Saul and I get to the City Building shortly after Leon's fit."Oh, thank the heavens. My spell lasts another hour, and Leon has been banging at the door for at least ten minutes!" Trish whines before running over to Saul and jumping in his arms.She doesn't ask what happened or if everything is okay. She's just happy to see us and to have her mate.It was simple. I wanted simple.I rush the flames out of my palm, melting the handle and eliciting a hiss and bang before the door bursts open.Leon glares at me for a split second before grabbing me and squeezing me. My feet lift off the ground, dangling in his grip as he holds me.I relax my cheek on his shoulder, inhaling his calming scent."You don't have to do everything alone, little mate," he whispers in my ear.He doesn't understand. Some things I would need to do alone. How do I tell him this?Leon got the worst of me—the wall, the part of me that wanted to refuse a fated mate altogether.Yet, he was the first one to accept my

    Lucy:My shoes are hitting the ground with force, and dirt is swirling up into the air with each step I take forward.My skin crawls and shudders as if the very flesh clinging to my bones wants nothing more than to flee from the mere thought of being near that man again."Lucy! Wait!" I hear Saul shouting behind me.My body moves like a machine. Driving forward at a will that only intuition could force.The smell of metal filled my nostrils. Blood.Whirls of color fly past me like an abstract painting portraying the heart of vexation and despair.Nia is still in shock from biting and marking Zeak's wrist. I did what I had to.I can hear Saul's feet hitting the ground behind me. I turn my head to look back at him, and my foot clips a divet in the ground, causing me to crash to my knees and palms."Shhhh," I hear Saul's voice soften behind me as he kneels next to me.He grabs my chin, forcing me to look at him—my lip trembles.My cheeks are still stained from the tears I shed earlier.

    Lucy:The air around us was thick with tension. No, it wasn't tension. It was a simmer of rage and pervasive darkness.And yet, somewhere in all the haze of emotion was a faint glimmer of compassion. It lingered like a distant lighthouse, reaching toward me, begging to guide me to shore.Somewhere deep down inside of me, I felt it. I didn't want to, but it was there. Clutching my heart like a vice that wouldn't budge.An understanding of something I didn't fully recognize yet, but parts of me sensed it a long time ago.Is this why he wants me so badly? He could feel my unrecognized understanding."Your father lied to me," Zeak says, taking short, slow strides toward me."Make them stop. You wanted me, and I'm right here. There doesn't need to be any more bloodshed!" I say calmly.I don't step back or flinch as he makes his way toward me.'What did you do, Lucy? Where are you?' I hear Leander push through my closed link with his Alpha command.He must have sensed his sons not being able

    Lucy:The moment the sirens go off, a flood of emotions and thoughts start swirling within the room. I can hear everything at once.Leander pushes forward, and Liam is trying to pull me to safety, but something surges within me.I won't let this moment pass. This wasn't the need for revenge.The strength surges within me again. Stronger this time.'Use it wisely,' her voice whispers in my soul. I now understand why she gave me this gift and what it really means."Lucy, we need to get you to the shelter!" I hear Seth behind me before his hand grabs my arm. I push him off, taking in the look of bewilderment spread across his face."Sorry!" I squeak before turning and brushing my hand across Liam's forehead before he drops to the ground like a sack of potatoes."Lucy! What was that about?" Leon says, running up to Liam.I don't give him a chance to react before knocking him out as well in the same smooth fashion.I look back at Seth, who puts his hands out in front of his body with his p

    Liam:She knows I need her attention. Of course, she does; she was made for me.'Just don't be too overbearing,' Bo chuckles even though he's feeling it too.I had forced myself to get over her connection with Seth. It helped knowing he was her mate, too, for some reason, but I needed my mark on her to feel the security of our bond."Oh, Mom, can you plan our mating ceremony? How long will it take for all of Lucy's magic to settle so we can mark each other, too?" I ask, grabbing Lucy's hand and pulling her back into my chest.We had all gotten up to leave, but I needed to make sure we could set a date to look forward to."That won't be necessary. Lucy won't leave your quarters without your mark or, rather, without marking the two of you," Nadia speaks up.I raise an eyebrow, my interest piqued as everyone now focuses on Nadia as well."It's tradition," Mom says, her tone flashes with irritation."I can wait. I really wanted a ceremony. I even have a dress and everything," Lucy pouts.I

    Lucy:We finally sit down around the table. It's clear that Jason is fond of Nadia.I expected Trish to react more to this, but she doesn't. She seems content in her bubble with Saul.Nadia set down several things on the table, but I felt my magic the moment that she walked into the room."That's mine," I say, pointing at the leather bag."Yes Lucy, it's yours, but you cannot have it yet," she responds."But it's mine?" I say, yet it comes out as a question instead.Nadia laughs and grabs the bag. She reaches her arms out, extending the bag to me before pulling it back slightly."You cannot open the bag yet. You can hold the bag, but you can't take what's inside. It's important that you listen to me. Lucy, having all of your magic, now that your mother is gone, is going to be very overwhelming," she explains.Finally, she sets the bag down, and I grab it quickly. Fear grips my heart at the thought of having it taken away. I rip it from its spot and hold it securely in my arms.My heart

    Lucy:I expected more anger. Yelling. Maybe even a fight. Nothing."Of course they did, idiot," Leon says, pulling Liam off of me entirely now."You didn't....?" Liam asks his unfinished question, looking at Seth."No. No, knot, which was really hard to hold back, by the way," Seth sighs and looks at my now bright red face."I thought that was an Alpha thing? Plus, I have a birth control implant," I say, sitting back up on the bed."Seth's mom is an Alpha, and what did you just say?" Leon says, pulling me by my ankles to sit me on the edge of the bed in front of him.Was he mad about this?All three of them walk to the bed, where I sit on the edge, looking up at them. My eyes dart back and forth, feeling like a child who's done something terrible."I'm not ready for a baby. We don't even know what this whole thing is that's going about. We're supposed to save the world or something or another," I ramble out. My hands flail this way and that as I talk because I always feel the need to
