Vihsan isn’t able to make it here for three more days. He is still looking into how Ghaazi was able to kidnap his cousin. They might have been estranged, and Vihsan may not have talked to or seen him in years, but family is still family, and Vihsan is pissed that someone in his family was kidnapped. I remember meeting that cousin when I was younger. He seemed friendly, but Vihsan told me that he was having issues. That was the first and only time I met him. I saw him a few times while traveling, but we never talked. I place my phone down on the desk in front of me. I have no idea what I am doing. I feel like an idiot standing in the middle of my new office. I thought Tiernan was joking when he showed me different rooms I could pick as my office. I considered using Seara’s old office, but the space didn’t feel right. As soon as I walked into this room, I knew it was the one. It has a large window that overlooks the backyard. I had the whole room redone (including the ensu
We had just gotten the three amigos under control when a dark cloud of smoke appeared. I rolled my eyes since I knew who it was. Kathal shook his head while everyone else started freaking out. As the smoke cleared, Vihsan stood there with a shit-eating grin plastered on his face. Most would think demons are always serious and angry. They, however, have never met Vihsan. I am not saying he can’t be serious, but I also can’t remember when I saw the guy angry. He has to be the most laid-back guy I know. “Hello all, I am Vihsan.” Vihsan announces. “Maybe try to join the festivities ina less shocking manner next time.” I point out. I started laughing when Vihsan realized he had just transported himself into the middle of a barbecue within a lycan pack. They stare at him like they can’t figure out what he is and why he is here. I do step between him and Tiernan when I heard the deep growl. Tiernan knew that Vihsan was showing up today, but I don’t think he had any idea tha
I was dead on my feet. The three of us had been on the run for the last week. Once we landed in the States, I decided that we should go through different states and not straight to the royal pack. I knew they would expect this if they found out we were here. Looking back on my decision, I realize we didn’t need to go that far north. The three of us were fine until we crossed that pack's land. The alpha and warriors chased us into Canada, causing us to trespass on another pack’s land, chasing us back across the states. None of us realized that we had crossed into Washington State. We were doing fine until we heard that growl.I damn near shit my pants when a white tiger the size of a fucking cargo ship crept out of the trees with his four giant friends. Once the terror died, we all knew exactly who this was, and that is when shit went to hell in a handbasket. We ran again, but I knew when I heard the howls that they wouldn’t be as easy to get away from as the other two packs.
It has been a week since Vihsan was here. He stayed for three days but had to return to his family and other responsibilities. I had never met a demon before, but he was not what I expected him to act like. I had always been told that they were short-tempered and angry. Vihsan is the complete opposite of that. Vihsan and Kyran became fast friends, and they even played a few pranks on a few of us. I thought they would get their asses handed to them when Kynessie got caught in one of their pranks. I had to stop her from killing them; I didn’t need her injuring herself or my pup. I am starting to understand that it would take an incredibly severe injury or act of god to cause a vampire to miscarry a child. Her father told me he had known one vampire to have a miscarriage. When visiting her family in another country, she protected her other children from a rogue attack. She took a direct hit to her stomach, causing the miscarriage. Gavrill left this morning. He stayed a few da
This whole situation is pissing me off. We finally received word that Ghaazi’s beta, Rohnan, had been spotted. One of the Fae trackers followed him but then lost him. He did tell us that it was luck that he spotted him. It appears that it is true that once they shifted into their lycans that they lost their scent, which no one can explain. The only beings known not to have a scent are the gods. None of those three are related to a god. If that had been the case, the gods would have dealt with them long ago. The triplets don’t put up with shit like that. I am waiting for Jin to get back. He went to see what was left of his pack. He has been gone for a little over a week. Gavrill went with him just in case his grandfather had someone watching the pack or rogues were waiting to attack him if he was to return to the pack. A few rogues were wandering around, but they
A smile graced my face as I surveyed the room. We decided on the room across from us for Niall’s nursery. Tiernan and I choose a night theme for the nursery. The walls are light blue but slowly become darker until the blue is almost black where his crib is. A smattering of stars becomes more condensed closer to the crib, along with a gorgeous white/silver full moon above his crib. The furniture is a dark cherry wood that looks perfect against the colors within the room, along with the rugs that decorate the hardwood floor. I receive a relatively strong kick as I sit in the glider that Tiernan bought. This is my favorite piece of furniture. I close my eyes and lean back against the chair. I am startled awake when a loud bang rings out from downstairs. I have no idea when or how long I have been asleep. Another bang rings out as a growl reverberates within my chest. “I know, I don’t appreciate being woken up either little man.” I tell my stomach.I received a kick when I s
I slowly became conscious when I realized I was not in Aislling’s hospital room. I may not have the sense of smell as wolves and lycan; I wasn’t smelling the unsettling scent of disinfectant and blood. Everything smelt like Tiernan. I sat up with an arm wrapped around my bump. I looked around the room, and I was right. I am back in our room. I have no idea how I got back here. I slide to the edge of the bed and swing my legs over. I grab some clothes and head for the shower. The hot water feels fantastic on my skin. I growl and fling the pair of shorts across the room. “What did those shorts do to you?” Saera asks. “I couldn’t get them buttoned. Mu fucking baby bump isn’t that big.” I whine. I found another pair of shorts, and thankfully they still fit. I know I will gain weight and my clothes will not fit, but I didn’t think it would start this early. I flop back onto the bed as Seara laughs at my situation. She tells me that she will take me shopping once everything
Riordan and I weren’t scheduled to leave Alpha Randy’s pack for another two days, but when I got that call from Cahir telling me that Aisling had passed out and was in the hospital, I lost it. Randy told us to get back to the pack once I explained what was happening; Randy nicely told Riordan and me to get the fuck out of his pack and get back to our pack. Riordan and I packed in a hurry and more or less jumped into my truck and sped back to our pack. Thankfully our packs are only a few hours from each other. I am not sure how we didn’t get stopped with how fast I was driving. All Cahir had told us was that someone had slipped a sedative into Aisling’s drinks, and she had been unconscious since. I texted Rowan, who explained that he and Aisling had brought food and drinks to their room. He had told me that Aisling had a smoothie and then went to bed. He also let me know what my little darkling was up to. I knew she didn’t like those two from the council, and I had a feeling
I let out a growl when the pen that I have been abusing is stolen from me. I look up to see Cahir staring at me. I let out another growl, but all he does is raise one of his busy fucking eyebrows at me. I refrain from hitting him, but just barely. This fucker is lucky he is my best friend. I growl at him, but all he does is smirk at me. The urge to hit him has increased.“Give me my pen back.” I grumble. “Not until you promise to stop the fucking clicking. Why the fuck are you so stressed. Your weird OCD only surfaces when you're stressed.” Cahir points out.“It’s been a week and nothing. Zho died three days ago, and we have not seen Rohnan or his demon father. Ghazzi, well, we haven’t found him alive or dead. Kynessie and I had an ultrasound this morning, and Sam thinks she will have our pup sooner than initially thought. He’s giving her another month, maybe sooner. The rogues are still lurking around the border of our territory, and we still haven't figured out who t
A groan escapes as I roll over and slowly open my eyes. I reach for Tiernan, but all I find are cold sheets and an empty spot where he should be. I sit up when I feel a surge of anger. I look at the clock, and it is four in the morning. I flop back onto the bed as I let out a hiss, hearing Thyox grumbling in my head. I have to agree with her. I am unsure what woke us up, but it is not the little man in my stomach. He seems to be asleep. I can feel the anger and rage becoming more vigorous, and that is when I realize that it is not my emotions, but they are coming from Tiernan. I huffed and crawled to the edge of this ridiculously colossal bed. I drop my legs over the edge and slide down until my feet touch the floor. I grab my silver hoodie; technically, it is Tiernan’s, but I have more or less confiscated it for myself. It's not like he cares. I often steal his clothes, esp
If these assholes think they are being stealthy with their “secret” meeting, then they need to have their fucking heads examined. I know they are trying not to stress me out, and they don’t want to worry us women, but there is no possible way they could be more fucking evident that they are up to something. I roll my eyes as I slip on my black hoodie. I have my hair piled on my head as I pull the beanie down over my hair. The sun had just dipped down, and the light was fading quickly. Tiernan knew I was going out for my biweekly hunt. I had figured out that hunting twice a week was all I needed to keep my strength regular. Sam has been watching my iron levels, which have been maintained, so I knew I was doing something right. I made damn sure to sneak away when Kathal was busy with another one of their “secret” meetings so I could do what I needed. Vihsan had shown us a picture of his cousin when they were younger and before his cousin went down the wrong path. I am not sure
I can feel Kyran’s irritation with not knowing what is going on. He has always been the nosiest one out of the four of us. I pull my little darkling into my lap as everyone else gets comfortable. I can tell Zia is nervous being in a room with us. Mom sits by her and tells her she has nothing to worry about. Wes stares at her like trying to work out the most complex riddle he has ever encountered. I have no idea what is going on. My little darkling knows something. “Ok, can someone please tell hte rest of us what is happening.” I state.“Is there something wrong with me?” Zia asks.“No, little wolf, there is nothing wrong with you.” Lennox drawls.“Can one of you please explain? You know something about Zia that we don’t.” Dad says.“I would like to know if any other pups were found when Zia was found.” Everrett comments.“There had been other pups that had been orphaned at that time, but that was because we had a substantial attack simultaneously.” I tell him.“I can te
I am starting to think that this pregnancy is making me more aware of everything around me. I swear the feeling of someone or something watching me has grown along with the little man in my belly. Sometimes I wonder if there is a second pup hiding behind its brother. Sam has assured me that there is only one pup in there, but sometimes it feels like more than one. Thyox and I agree that this pregnancy has heightened our senses. It has also made my skin overly sensitive. I explained how it feels to Sam, and he says while many pregnant women become more sensitive, he admitted that he had never heard of a woman's skin increasing in sensitivity. Of course, something like that would happen with my pregnancy.I need to speak with Mom about this. I planned on talking with Lennox about this to see if he has heard of this before. I step out of the shower, grabbing a towel off the hook. I stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at myself. I now have a decent-sized bump sh
I shifted back into my human form. While the other two couldn’t do this any longer due to them drinking the blood from the demon we caught years ago; I am still able. Yes, I am half-demon since my father was a demon, and I know she told Ghaazi that she was raped, but that was a lie. My parents were fated mates, but my mother's family told her to choose between them and my father. She chose my father, and they left her pack. She never broke her link with that pack, even when she joined Ghaazi’s pack. I am unsure how that is possible, but I think it may have something to do with Dad. I never told them that the demon we captured was my father, but he did look like me. I figured they just assumed he was my father and that I was getting revenge for what he had done to my mother. Mom told him enough to gain entrance into his pack. Dad knew where we were, and Mom and I always saw him. Ghaazi never knew. It was Dad’s idea to get Ghaazi to start drinking demon blood. I knew what i
“What about those two fuckers that were here saying they were from the council?” I asked.We are still in my office. Blain, Chris, and Kaleb left, but we still had some shit to discuss. Dad did link me to let me know that Aisling is awake and doing fine. Dad said she was still groggy, but Sam told him she would be that way for a few days. She might be groggy until that damn sedative is flushed from her system. I am fucking thankful that Kynessie didn’t get any of that shit, although she wouldn’t have been able to drink it since it had blood orange in it. I am still fuming sitting here thinking about it but feeling my son move around and kick my hand has a nice calming effect. “They were part of the council. I spoke with a couple of the previous members. He explained that about five years ago, all but one member handed down their seats to their sons or grandsons. From what I was told, about a year ago, there was a coup d’etat, and the whole council was killed and new members
