Tricia:

The phone held its silence as I grasped what my mom asked.

"Tricia... I just thought it was better for you not to get your hopes up when I saw what I had," Mom explains.

"I guess mine and Enya's decision affected more than I had realized," she sighed as I stood there frozen.

My heart feels like it is being crushed, knowing that in some version of my life, I may never have met Saul.

I look over at Saul, who is doing his best not to intrude on my phone conversation, but I know he has been listening in enough to hear what I did.

I hang up. I don't know what to say or how I'm supposed to act. I knew she had kept something from me.

"Has Liam or Leon ever saved your life?" I ask Saul directly.

He looks at me, baffled but clearly deep in thought about my question.

"Why do you ask?" he questions me, his eyebrows furrowed and his arms now crossed below his chest.

It's clear he remembered something, and the connection is making him question further why I'm asking this question myself.

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   152 - Three Figures

    Lucy:I open my eyes and no longer feel so heavy. In fact, my entire being feels lighter somehow. The damp, soft feeling of grass beneath my body soothes me as I take a deep breath.My eyes adjust to the light of a full moon as I sit up.The moon cascades a glow across unfamiliar territory. A soft neon glow illuminates off of the foreign bushes surrounding me.'Nia?' I ask instinctively, as the clouds in my mind start to dissipate and the memories begin flooding back in.No answer.Smoothing out the pants I'm wearing with the palms of my hands, I look around for anything familiar.I can hear the rush of water and whispering in the distance, pulling me forward.I walk cautiously through the terrain, following the sounds in the distance that are luring me to them.As I turn the corner of the rocky hillside, the brightness of the light that hits my eyes makes me fall back on my butt.I use my arm to shield my eyes, instinctively shifting them to their white phase before opening them back

    Tricia:Saul pulls me into his grip as everyone stares at me. He doesn't like everyone's eyes on me.I thought I'd hate the possessiveness of a werewolf, but I find it oddly comforting."Why don't we all get settled in and relax?" Jason suggests, resting his hand on my Mom's shoulder.Should I find this odd? I thought to myself."Right," my Mom says, gently removing his hand."I'll grab some drinks. It seems as though we all may need one," Jason adds, quickly moving from the entryway to the kitchen.I sit on the couch, or rather, on Saul's lap. My Mom sits in one of the chairs, and Theo sits in the other chair."Why would you think she could read minds?" Theo asks before my Mom can even open her mouth."I wasn't sure if she really could. She asked if Aunt Enya could read minds, but all three of her mates admitted that she could hear their thoughts, so I think she can," I explain, biting my lip.'Three?' Saul's voice comes through my mind.You can barely hear the growl coming from his t

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   154 - Mom

    Lucy:I could feel myself starting to fade within the existence that I was in."Yes, Lucy. I know all of my creations, but your mother was very special to me," she says with a smile that hides the pain she feels behind the statement."What do you mean? I ... feel like I barely knew who she was." I want to know her now more than I ever have before.Hecate frowns before putting her hand above my heart."She is here. You'll understand more when you get the rest of your magic, my dear," she responds."You keep saying the rest of my magic. What is that supposed to mean? Is that why..." I trail off, thinking about how so many pieces of me were empty when I looked at myself through the dragon's eyes."Yes, that's exactly why you see yourself that way," she smiles at my recognition.I wondered if it was similar to how I could hear Seth or my mates."Yes, just like you can with your mates," she says, making me roll my eyes."Now you're just showing off," I laugh.Nia is trotting around, likely

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   155 - Seths POV

    Seth: At some point, I fell asleep. Lucy's heart rate had finally calmed down, and I felt at ease myself from this peace of mind.No one had gotten much rest since everything happened at the challenge. I felt terrible for Leon and Liam, being forced at the pack house while Lucy healed.'How is she doing?' Leander linked.He is likely asking not just for himself but on behalf of his son's as well.'She seems to be doing better, I guess. What is better? She isn't awake if that's what you mean,' I say, clarifying Lucy's state at the moment.I checked the clock and realized I had been asleep for hours.A part of me loved that I was the one who was able to keep her in a calmer state of mind, aside from Trish; I just wished that it had been in different circumstances.'Has Jodie or anyone had any updates? I told her to link me if there were any updates, but if you could ask her about Savina's blood tests and get back to me, I would appreciate it,' Leander links back.'Of course,' I say back

    Trish: The environment in the cabin became rigid when talking about Lucy being connected with Nia again. My main focus was simply to get her to wake up. We could worry about the rest later.I pull out my phone, Saul grabs it from my hand before I can do anything."You have a phone?" he asks, surprised."Yes, mate, we can get you one, too. In fact, I think Leon got extras," I say, grabbing it back from his hand.I text Seth, just hoping he has his phone on him. None of us were used to having phones yet, so we often left our phones around instead of keeping them on us.Me: I have an idea to wake Lucy up. Please meet us at the hospital.I feel a flood of relief as I see the bubbles pop up, letting me know he is responding. Seth: I'm at Liam's quarters right now. Should I have him and Leon join us?I would have just called him, but I needed this conversation to be private in the event that he was with Leon and/or Liam, so I was glad that I chose to text him.Seth: Both of them have agre

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   157 - Take Me to My Room

    Lucy:After the darkness fades away, I see a light. It's faint and far away. I want to turn around and run back to my mom, but I know that I can't.Could I just stay here? In the nothingness? Without Nia, I feel nothingness to my core. Was it really that easy to let the darkness in? How was I strong enough before?Nia. It was always Nia. She was the stronger half of me, I decided.I stand there in my nothingness for a time. Contemplating what the three Goddesses had spoken to me.The light shines brighter like the sun itself was pulling me into its rays. Calling for me to come forward and serve my purpose and burning through my soul with the truth of what I needed to do.I take a deep breath and step forward when the darkness wraps its tentacles around me, pulling me back.Looking at my ankles, I try to break free but it owns me now. Its grip tightens despite my attempts at prying it off of me. It needs me to continue to feed what it wants. My doubt and my hatred for myself after N

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   158 - You're Mine

    Lucy:I could feel Seth's hesitation, surprisingly. He didn't seem to mind my touch, nor did he have any issues shoving his tongue down my mouth earlier.Yet, he felt bad now. I wasn't sure if it was because I wasn't rushing off to my mates but rather pulling him to my room."Maybe we should stop by Liam's and just let them know first. They're likely going to hear us going into your room anyways," Seth suggests, now that we're getting close to the Alpha quarters.It dawned on me that I had never been to the Beta quarters. Of course, I never had a reason to."You're right!" I say, turning to him now after stopping in my tracks, "Take me to your room instead. You have something I could change into, right?" I ask.His eyes get wide. I'm holding the hospital gown to the side, clasping the openings closed so my ass isn't hanging out. I didn't want to change into the clothes I had worn at the challenge, which was all I had available at the hospital.I'm sure what I would be changing into o

    Seth:I wasn't prepared for any of this.I knew something was different when I felt the sparks on her skin. It wasn't strong, though, not like a normal mate bond.Maybe Lucy was right; maybe it's because she didn't have her magic, but I couldn't help but feel like there was something more to this whole thing.'She's always been ours, Seth,' Dax decides.The Beta quarters are on the opposite side of the pack house, but I don't mind carrying her. I can feel her breath warm against the nook of my neck and shoulder.'She's Leon and Liam's, though. How can she be ours?' I ask Dax.'She's our second chance, Seth. Can't you smell her? Her scent has started to change,' Dax responds, calling out the obvious things I've been trying to ignore out of respect for my Alphas.I peek down at her, resting in my arms. Her eyes are closed; she looks so peaceful this way.My hands wrap around her waist, my forearm under her ass, keeping the back of her hospital gown shut closed tightly in case we run into

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   181 - To Be Luna, or Not to Be

    Lucy:"Her position is next to us!" Seth speaks up.He's protective in a way that's different from my other mates. He knows I'm insecure about my place amongst others.Or... at least I was. I'm not anymore.My mom knew I was going to have power that was bordering on unimaginable and most certainly unreasonable.No one needed the kind of power I had, yet here I am.She knew I would gain strength one day, so that I wouldn't be able to be so easily cracked. I was starting to understand how the Fae functioned and understood themselves with their magic.It was different. I wasn't the same, and I would never be the same again.I didn't want to be."Calm down, that wasn't what I was saying," Leander starts.The longer he takes to explain whatever's on his mind, the more the room feels like it's losing oxygen. I'm having a hard time controlling my feelings, sitting here waiting."I need you all to start considering what the pack's impression will be when Lucy has marked both the Alpha's of th

    Lucy:"The stronger the magic within a person, the harder it was to control myself," Zeak admits.I watch as he sits down on the cot in the corner of the cell now.I hadn't felt my magic back then but I guess he could.I wanted a better answer but I guess it could be that simple."Rosie would do something. I'm not sure what it was exactly, but for a moment, I would see clarity. I started having her be there all of the time, and I saw clearly the more she was around. Kragen said she was an abomination and needed to be killed. I sold her instead," he admits."You're going to go back to your pack. Tell them you escaped somehow. I don't care what lies you have to come up with; it needs to be believable," I state.I feel Leon's grip around me tighten, and a growl elicits from each of my mates.'We didn't talk about this, Lucy. You can't make that decision without Dad,' Liam links me.He's right. I need to talk with Leander, but my mates will soon be taking over the pack, and we also need to

    LEON:'Don't mess this up,' B warns me.Lucy's trust meant everything to me. B and I have been getting restless because she runs off on her own all the time.It had to stop now.I put my arm out, stopping Seth and Liam from proceeding toward Zeak's cell.'Just give her a minute first,' I suggest through our link.It was interesting how being marked with Lucy now gave us the ability to link with Seth, too.Neither of them responds, but they don't try to move forward either.We watch as Lucy approaches the cell and stops to face Zeak's.She stands there for several moments, not saying a word, and Zeak doesn't say anything either. My heart thunders in my chest.Simply knowing that she is in his presence and that he gets to look at her makes me sick to my stomach, but I push my feelings aside for the sake of Lucy's trust in us."When did you notice the change?" These were Lucy's first words, or rather, a question for Zeak.I can now hear sobbing coming from Zeak's cell. It doesn't sound l

    Lucy:Leon got the brunt end of the deal when it came to my affection.He had to see the way I flinched at any sudden touch or movement toward me.The way my mind wrapped up in anxiety the moment I started to let myself go, and the way my body revolted at any bit of love he tried to give me at first.While Seth had spent so much time showing me friendship and the slow burn of a connection only that type of relationship could provide, Leon had gone head-first into committing to me and showing me safety in love and intimacy.He never second-guessed me or our bond.He never judged or looked at me differently.He put work into helping me get comfortable enough to approach intimacy.Of course, he was upset.I didn't want it to be this way, either."Leon... please talk to me," I murmur, entering our bedroom alone.He looks over at me, clearly still angry, but looks at me anyway."It's hard for me to explain things when I'm not really sure of them myself," I start.I'm nervous about how he wi

    Lucy:Leon snapped his bond shut, but I felt the anger seep through before he could."You don't understand. I had to," I rush out, trying to defend myself for some reason.Liam's grip on me tightens. "Why the hell would you do that?" Leon growls."Woah, Leon, chill. Let her explain," Seth remarks, looking from me to Leon.A knock comes at the front door, just in time. Saved by the bell, so to speak."We're not done having this conversation!" Leon hisses, pointing his finger at me.'He'll get over it,' Liam links me, likely to avoid pissing Leon off any further, but it doesn't make me feel any better."What crawled up your butt?" I hear Trish before she pushes past Leon and trots into the kitchen.She stops and looks around the room for a second."This doesn't look like the best time for bad news, but I've been waiting almost a week to tell you guys," she says, squinting one eye.Great.Leon's large presence comes from behind Trish. He's refusing to open his bond up with me."Well, spi

    Lucy:Seth looks at me thoughtfully for a moment.The idea of how and why the pack is blessed seemed to have suddenly confused him as well."I never thought about that. I assumed it had to do with our strength and wealth. This pack has had minimal rogue attacks, has always done well financially, and hasn't suffered in many different ways that other packs have," Seth suggests.He's right, though. They have seemed to have good luck OR make the right choices."Hecate wiped the history for a good reason. She doesn't want anyone to know she's been looking over this pack. She gave the line of Alphas the ability to find their mates and their families' mates. You understand better than I do how much strength that gives a pack alone," I say, tapping my toes on the ground excitedly as we piece together the mystery that's been driving me mad."Wait. Hecate gave them that gift? The Moon Goddess grants the Alpha lineage their special strength," Seth argues, his voice slightly irritated at me for gi

    Lucy:The next several days were spent doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and exploring our connection and dynamic.The more intimate I was with my mates, the more the magic settled and relieved the pain of what I had experienced.We knew that once this time came to an end, things wouldn't be the same. So many variables were hanging in the balance, weighing heavily on our shoulders.My mates were still sleeping, but the stress of it all made me restless.I zip into my Fae form and zoom into the study down the hall, ensuring that my mates stay resting in bed.This would likely be the last time for a while that they get to rest that peacefully.'You're getting good at that. It makes me dizzy when you do it, though,' Nia whines.'It makes me dizzy still, too,' I sigh.Sitting at the desk, Liam had picked out for me, I rummaged through the drawers, finding a paper and pen to jot down my list of things to do.1.

    Lucy:Liam and I didn't get nearly the rest that the other two had, but I don't think either of us minded.We lost track of time and count after I decided to put Seth and Leon to sleep for the night.There was no sense in all of us being awake and marking Liam had turned something on in me I couldn't deny and needed to explore.He didn't complain.I had to mark Liam twice to get the rest of my magic from him. Yet another thing neither of us was bothered by.That time was more than pleasant. Liam had awakened my soul in a way I didn't know was possible.It created a hunger for the remainder of my magic, and for the last mark, I needed to bear.Just like Nadia had said, it just took a little push from Liam to get me started.Liam and I had maybe a few hours of sleep before getting up, showering, and sharing another tub of ice cream while watching a movie and waiting for my other mates to wake up from their forced slumber.I was excited to be this way with Leon. He was my patient mate—the

    Leon:The moment Lucy relaxed, I left the bathroom. I didn't feel uncomfortable being there; I just knew they needed to seal their bond.It was the one connection Lucy had that she hadn't gained confidence in.I found Seth eating some of the leftovers from Jason's buffet."She ate?" he asks, not looking back to even see who had entered the room.We have all become very intuned with each other over the last several days."We're on the up," I say, piling food onto my plate."What research were you doing in the library with Lucy?" Seth asks, not looking up from his plate.I hadn't realized he had noticed. He was always far more observant than anyone gave him credit for."Other supernatural beings. Lucy thinks Rosie is a siren." I knew Lucy wouldn't mind me sharing the information.She only wanted to do it privately with me because she knew I took those studies seriously, and it would go by faster and smoother without too many people asking questions.I hear Seth's fork clinking against th
