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

They say to write what you know. Obviously, I'm not some magical being (unfortunately), but a lot of events and trauma through this book hold some truth from my past. For anyone who has lost a parent, my heart is with you. I'd give anything to say I love you one more time. <3

  • 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

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   156 - The Kiss

    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

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   159 - Broken Connections

    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   160 - Puzzle Pieces

    Lucy:Bellona gave me something special indeed.Courage. Strength. An armor, but not like the physical one that she wore.Something within me was different. I wasn't sure exactly what it was, but I felt stronger now.Emotionally.I knew what I had to do now. It was as clear as the perfect summer day. No clouds, no morning dew or fog settling within me.I could still feel the emptiness within me. The parts of me that were missing. The magic that was taken from me.It doesn't matter as much when I'm with Seth. He looks at me like I'm the moon itself. His eyes linger too long on the exposed skin not covered by the towel I'm gripping around me but I like it.I'm obsessed with his attention, and for the first time, I'm not feeling shy about it."They say the Moon Goddess works in mysterious ways. You asked me why she didn't want you, your first mate, that is. You were always meant to be mine. Could you have loved me and wanted me the way you do now had you not felt the pain of losing her?

    Lucy:I grind against him. My core is covered by the baggy briefs I'm wearing, but his stiff member is all too present at this moment."It's okay," I tell him.I don't have to read his mind to know he's nervous about where I'm taking this.He pulls his lips from mine, peppering kisses along my cheek and neck.My hands are gripping his hips, pulling him securely against me, letting him know it's okay to press against me in this way.I knew he'd need me to confirm this. To confirm what I wanted."I haven't done this for a long time," he admits to me.His lips brushed against mine softly before deepening the kiss. His tongue slid into my mouth and against my tongue.His smell and taste are different than before. I can't deny this. "I've never done this willingly," I say quietly, moving his hands down my torso to my waist.I don't have to say this to him; he knows already, but it feels good to say it out loud. I'm safe with him.His fingers gripping the seams of the briefs, I'm unsure wh

    Lucy:"I should go talk to them first," I decide, looking at Seth.I slip the shirt over my body after getting the briefs back on. His scent is all over me. They'll know right away.'It will be fine,' Nia reassured me.'I should have talked to them first. I didn't want to complicate it. I knew Seth could reconnect us. I didn't want to lose my bond with him or the twins,' I respond, feeling like I need to explain myself for some reason.Seth gets out of bed and walks over to me, cupping my face in his hands."Thank you," he whispers before kissing me."For what?" I whisper, our lips brushing with each word as he holds my face like he never wants to let go."For not rejecting me. I don't know how this is possible," he adds before pulling away and looking down at me.He's right. The entire thing is odd. He has to be right about being second-chance mates. Although he is my Fae mate, I can feel it all now."I would never reject you, Seth; you know that. I have a feeling my aunt might have a

  • The Alpha's Secret Daughter   171 - Managing

    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
