LEON:

We searched until the wee hours of the morning. I was beyond exhausted.

Dad had mind-linked us to come home and speak to him. I was itching to go back and see Lucy, but I knew I had duties to take care of, and it was something we would often have to deal with.

"We should talk after this meeting with Dad," Liam said, catching up to me.

We were now reaching the tree line that separated the settlement area and the forest.

"About what? Can it wait? I want to talk to Dad and head back to Lucy. I need to see her at least a few hours before we get back out on the search," I say.

My shoulders are slumped, my body is sore, and I miss my mate terribly.

"We can wait. In fact, I could even come with you. I should probably check on Lucy," he sighs.

I whipped my head around with what I'm sure looked like confusion on my face.

"She is my mate. I can take care of her," I say.

I know I'm just grumpy because of everything I'm feeling right now so I snapped a little more than necessary.

    LUCY:My head was pounding hard. I felt like I had been run over.'Shh, don't let them know you're awake,' Nia whispered.My eyes were barely fluttering open when she spoke and they snapped back closed so fast. It took everything I had to try and slow down my heart rate so they didn't catch on.'Where are we?' I respond.'I don't know, our eyes are shut remember?' she retorts.Shit my brain was foggy. I was clearly not in good condition.'Right,' I said.I could tell that I was slumped over someone's shoulder like a rag doll so I continued to let me body be as limp as I possibly could.Nia felt weak. The little bit of communication she had done with me was enough to nearly take her back out. This was bad.I was piecing together what happened. I wondered where my dad would take me."Lock her up in the cell across from her boy toy," my dad's voice said nearby making my stomach flip.Boy toy? My heart skipped a beat.I hear the man carrying me chuckle and the rattle of the keys unlocking

    Leander:I turn around hesitantly. I had completely forgotten about Savina's existence when I came back.I was obviously going to have to have a conversation with her but right now was just not the time."Leon! Where have you been?" Savina snaps at me.I'm not sure how I didn't notice it about her before or maybe this was new but she left nothing for the imagination.She was wearing skin-tight black shorts even though the weather outside would scoff at her choice.Her bright pink crop top was creased through the middle from how tight it tugged around her breasts that were practically falling out of her shirt.Pink leather boots up to her knees. Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging her for her choice of appearance.I'd just rather see Lucy in something even more revealing in the confines of my bedroom.There was absolutely no attraction to Savina anymore. It made me feel like an asshole but at the same time, I made it clear to her what this was, which was nothing.Especially after she li

    Lucy:Flashback:"You manipulated me!" his voice hisses loudly, vibrating off of the walls.My mom is standing tall and proud. She isn't backing down from my father at all.I had just walked into the room. I wasn't supposed to be in this part of the pack house but I had thought my dad was gone.My mom's eyes flicker over in my direction for a brief moment before they move back to my Dad.'Hide,' Nia instructs me.I tuck myself beside the bookcase near the entryway. I'm hiding myself the best I can while continuing to listen."I didn't manipulate you Kragen. I'm your mate. That was never a lie." My mom's voice is calm and steady.The air feels stale and at the same time, it's suffocating me. I can sense that something is terribly wrong."What the hell is this?" my dad screams flinging around papers.They look worn out and used before he tosses them to the side. The papers fly across the room, falling down around the space next to them like confetti."Kragen, we can talk through this," m

    Liam:Trigger Warning: Some depictions of certain events may make some readers uncomfortable at the beginning of this chapter."Holy shit Lucy! Are you okay?" I yell out to her, but she isn't moving.There's a pool of blood on the ground next to her and underneath her.From what I can tell, the only thing left on her body is a torn-up shirt.She has gashes and bruises all over her.I feel nauseous at the recognition of what's happened to her.'Where are we?' Bo asks.I'm running up to her, not considering my surroundings. She is lying on a cold, hard cement floor.I reach down to shake her, but my hand goes straight through her. I try again, the same thing. What the hell?I hear a chuckle on the other side of the room, making me whip my head over in the direction it's coming from."What the hell did you do to her?" I scream, but they aren't phased by the fact that I'm here.I watch as the man laughing walks over to Lucy, shaking his head."Your dear old dad warned you there would be co

    Tricia: I had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.I didn't understand how I hadn't anticipated Lucy's disappearance. My mom and I had focused all our magic and visions on Lucy for several years.If my mom had envisioned this, she never mentioned it before she sent me here. It is even more urgent now that I go see her.We needed human phones first. The lack of communication and having to move back and forth between the cabin, the packhouse, and everything else was starting to hurt my head."This was given to me," Liam says as he enters the kitchen.He sets a leather satchel down on the counter.I'm now making coffee. Neither of us slept much before the vision took over.This was another thing that made me nervous. I've never had the same vision as someone else at the same time.I pour two cups of coffee. Adding sugar and milk to mine and handing the other one to Liam.I walk over to him and look at the satchel. It felt familiar somehow.It was a deep shade of brown, and it

    Lucy:I don't close my eyes this time. I don't pretend to be sleeping. There is no use. I know that my Dad wants information, and this is going to happen one way or another."Lucy, run the second you get the chance, please!" Seth begs me, but I shake my head.He's out of his mind if he thinks I'm going to leave him here. If they don't have me, they will kill him sooner, and I had no plans for either of us to die this way.I stand up and back up against the bricks across from the door.'We can't let them know about your magic until we can kill Kragen. It will only make things worse if he knows, or he will just kill you right away. We need to stall until we have a plan,' Nia tells me as two warriors walk up to the cell door with nasty smirks on their faces.'I know, and I have a plan to give us more time and let you get stronger,' I say confidently in response.My first priority is getting Seth away from my Dad. Now that he had me, he would have no use for Seth.I lift my hands up in

    Tricia:"What do you mean she doesn't know?" Liam asks."Lucy didn't even know she was Fae until I told her. Her mom suppressed her magic until she was eighteen to try and protect her as long as she could from Kragen," I sigh.Leander is now pacing back and forth in the kitchen, obviously thinking."That would make sense why she was using a descenter at the gala instead of using her Fae magic," Leon confirms. The shock on Liam's face seems to be expected at this point.The barrier and mirage not properly working was terrible news. The Silver Lake has too much magic and power. There would be people after it if they found out it existed, and if any werewolves stepped into it, they would die.The silver is potent. It's what fuels the Silver Throne Magic.Each Fae Throne has a different source of their magic. Our throne was special in numerous ways. I didn't get to grow up in it when we were all still in a community together, but I've heard many stories from my mom.No one spoke much a

    Seth:'Why is she so stubborn?' Dax asks.'You're supposed to be resting, remember? To answer your question, I don't know. Probably the Alpha in her,' I sigh, knowing he is right.She is incredibly stubborn. If she could get out of the warrior's grip, she could easily run.I could tell that she wasn't nearly as affected by whatever they used to knock us out. It took an entire day for Dax to speak to me again after they took us.'I've started healing you. I'm good now, and you're going to need it,' Dax says, making me feel uneasy.'What do you mean?' I ask.'Lucy is giving us a chance to get out of here alive, Seth. We are going to have to spar,' he responds, making my stomach flip.'I'm not leaving Lucy here, Dax. Wait, how do you know this?' I'm confused.'I can talk with Nia. I don't know how. You're not getting a choice, Seth. You either fight or die. Lucy already agreed to it,' he says, making me groan.'You feel stronger,' I say, observing how quickly he seems to be healing my in

    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 t

    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

    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 w

    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

    Lucy:Leon helped me get into the bath.My body feels like it's been run over, put back together, and run over again. Every muscle aches with the burning of a thousand suns.For now, I'm okay. For now, the mental pain has stopped.I wanted to rest, but my mind and soul were racing on a track that felt endless.I need it to end."Lucy, how can we help you?" Leon asks.He grabs the edge of the bathtub, lowering himself down to sit by the side of the tub.I relived every death of every Silver Throne Fae Queen before me. My neck still felt the remnants of my throat being crushed.'It hurts. Especially after eating,' I mind link Leon.He perks up in his position. He's satisfied by the way that I'm finally speaking to him.Even if it's through a mind link.It's been difficult to find any words to say in the past few days. I don't want to answer questions. I don't want to explain what I know. Bits and pieces are still sorting themselves in my brain.I know half-truths. One side to each story
