Third Person's POV Ezra, Lexon, Aero, and Grayson throw their empty vials of the antidote into the garbage before facing one another. Everyone grabs hold of each other before Ezra teleports them. Seconds before Ezra teleports them, he senses something unusual, a significant change in the location, which causes him to change his destination, landing them outside, several hundred feet from the building. Ezra and Grayson take a step forward in shock. Their mouths hang open as they feel the ground shake and hear the loud roar from the sky. An incredibly large dragon with black, steel blue, and brick red scales flies above the compound with a steady stream of fire barreling out of his mouth, engulfing the building in fire. The dragon continues making passes around the building. Draven sucks in a breath, opens his mouth, and exhales as he roars, blowing flames along the building as he flies past. Smoke seeps from the dragon's body. The spaces between his scales seem transparent, allowing
Third Person's POV The ground shakes as Draven lands. The giant Dragon takes several steps before folding his wings down and shifting. Atticus stands in all his glory, staring at the building engulfed in flames. Ezra disappears and, a moment later, returns, standing next to Atticus with a pair of shorts for him.“What was this place? Why couldn't I feel them until now?” Atticus asked, unable to take his eyes off of the burning building.“This was their main facility where they bred your people to be feeders. We were unaware they had any of your people. We knew they had elves. We have already taken down the two elf breeding facilities. All the Omegas born stayed here. All the dominant ones were shipped off to their underground feeding rinks throughout the states.This place had a spell hiding it. It prevented us from locating Nadja, and it prevented you from locating your people. When Ezra came into his powers here, he blew half of his place apart. When he did that, he broke the spel
Third Person's POV Ezra appeared next to Aero. Roman was tucked in his arms with his face buried in his neck. Naham held on tight to Aero's arm. He let his eyes scan the people in the tent, and he began panicking. There were too many people. But somehow, the ones that bothered him the most were his own people. It was a reminder of what he just escaped from. They were still dirty and covered in dry blood, dirt, and the scent of sex still lingered on many of them. Naham slowly backed out of the tent but yelped when he backed into someone. He spun around, and his heart stopped when his eyes landed on his King. The king’s hands gently gripped his arms, preventing him from falling. His mouth moved, but he couldn't hear him. He was too shocked by what he saw, smelled, and felt. His aura was intense, and his dominance was incredibly strong. The scent of smoke lingered, and he gasped when he saw the king's dragon's eyes. Atticus's eyes swirled with flames as Draven peered out at him. The k
Third Person's POV Aero ignored the smirk on her face as he walked around the bed and climbed in. The elder sat back against the headboard and let out a long loud sigh. “Oh my God, is it that bad? What did you do?” She laughed, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. “I don't get this fucking bond! I hate that I want him so much! But more than that, I hate that he doesn't want me. He's only with me because of his son,” Aero said, his heart feeling like someone had reached inside his chest and ripped it out.“This is stupid!... Why does this bond even exist?! This whole bond thing is stupid! Can I get rid of it?” Aero asked as he turned to his childhood friend. She giggled as she turned toward him. She reaches forward and tucks his long blonde hair behind his ear before cupping his cheek. “Oh man, you have it bad!” Vanessa teased, and he slapped her hand away.“Damn it, Vanessa! I'm being serious! Are you going to help me, or not? How can I get rid of this damn thing?” He asked angr
Third Person's POV Lexon knocks on the door, and a moment later, Blake opens it. “My man with the long blonde hair, come on in!” Blake joked and flashed a smile as he stepped back.“How is it going? Everything going smooth at the coven?” Blake asked as he turned the stove down. “Yes… is Azrael here?” Lexon asked, even though he could sense him. “Yeah, he's in Aziel’s room putting his clothes away.”“Thanks,” Lexon said as he walked past the kitchen and down the hall.Lexon entered Aziel's room but didn't see Azrael. As his eyes scanned the room, he saw the closet door was open. The Elder crossed the room and found Azrael in the closet, putting his son's clothes away.“Hey, Lexon,” Azrael said as he placed a shirt on a hanger. “It's been a while, how have you been?” Lexon asked as he folded his arms and leaned against the door frame. “Everything's the same as last time I saw you,” Azrael said as he placed another shirt on a hanger.“Yeah, well, that was four months ago. It's been
Third Person's POV Naham squeezed his pillow and buried his face in it as he slowly woke. Naham thought he was still dreaming since he wasn't waking up in pain, and everything was soft and comfortable. Not to mention, the incredible scent that surrounded him in his dream was still there.The scent should scare him since it belonged to someone claiming they were mates, and that person just so happens to be a vampire. But now that he realizes it's just a dream and dreams can't hurt him, Naham gives in to the dream and lets himself go. The Omega was in heaven as he nuzzled the soft, fluffy pillow that smelled like heaven. Everything around him was so soft, plush, and clean. Everything real life wasn't, but a dream was. The Omega was in his own little world of bliss, nuzzling the pillow that smelled so strong of that amazing scent. He tried to drown himself in that scent, taking one deep breath after another, and filling his senses.It wasn't until fingers touched the side of his face t
Easy Third Person's POV Ezra tries to stretch as he wakes up, but his feet come into contact with something, preventing him from stretching his legs. The king felt stiff. Before he opened his eyes, he remembered what he was lying on and why… The couch in his bedroom that he's sat on maybe three times. The damn thing was too hard to sit on. He only bought it because it looked good. Now that he has to use it, he regrets the day he ever bought it and wishes he would have bought something more comfortable instead of stylish.Ezra takes a deep breath and notices a weight on his chest. It feels tight and heavy, and for a moment, he is concerned.Ezra opened his eyes and couldn't see. Something dark and fuzzy clouded his vision and tickled his face when he moved. Ezra pulled his head back, and chocolate curls came into view. Ezra’s heart beats faster. He reached up and gently pulled those beautiful curls away from his mate's forehead, revealing his beautiful face. A wide smile formed on Ez
Third Person's POV After breakfast, everyone moved to the living room. Aero sat on the left side of the couch, and Naham sat next to him, keeping a distance between them. Ezra sat on the right side, expecting his mate to sit close to his Dad, but instead, he climbed onto the couch and pressed himself as close to Ezra as he could. Ezra lifted his arm and wrapped it around the Omega as he smiled down at him. Naham was shocked his son was practically in the Vampire's lap. He thought Roman would sit closer to him. He was prepared to wrap his arm around his son, but instead, he's so close to the stupid vampire that he's practically in his lap! Naham looked at his hands resting in his lap while tugging nervously at his fingers. Everything about this was uncomfortable. Sure, this is his half-brother, but that's what makes it even more uncomfortable. “I can't believe I have family. My cousin Lana was the only person from my family that made it through the attack. Now I have you two as well…
Third Person's POV Darien stood in the closet, buttoning his shirt. His mind raced with all the different scenarios of things that could go wrong. He tried not to think of it but couldn't stop his thoughts from racing.What if they didn't like him? What if they hated the fact he was a submissive Alpha and thought he wasn't good enough for their brother? His thoughts spiraled out of control. He had just finished buttoning the last one and gasped when Wyatt suddenly appeared behind him. His strong chest crashed against his back as his arms quickly wrapped around him. Darien smiled as he tilted his head, giving his Alpha access to his neck, which he quickly accepted. Wyatt buried his face against his skin, nuzzling and kissing him.“You're right, maybe we shouldn't go. Maybe we should just lay in bed and snuggle all night. I'm having withdrawals; I need to drown myself in you,” Wyatt's voice was muffled with his lips pressed against his mate's neck. Darien's heart fluttered when the Al
Third Person's POV Grayson's laptop was long forgotten on the little table next to him. The Alpha lies on his side in the daybed, staring at his mate. He loves the Delta's smooth, pale skin and the way his dark, straight hair lies against his forehead. He loves how he chews on his lip while he reads and tilts his head when he doesn't understand something. He loves the time they are spending together, quietly sitting beside each other outside on the balcony, sharing the silence. “So… My job wouldn't be to fight for our people?” Sebastian's soft voice broke the silence. Grayson's heart swelled when he called them “our” people.“No. Your job as Luna is to make sure everyone who cannot fight gets to safety in the event of an attack. We have several bunkers. Normally, we use the two bunkers in the basement of the pack house. In extreme cases, we use the large one under the field beside the pack house, but we haven't used it in a long time. That one is big enough that everyone in the pack
Third Person's POV “I can't be a Luna; I'm just a Delta 3. All I know is how to be a pet. I don't even know how to be your mate,” Sebastian told Grayson before Ezra went to take down Luther. The book Sebastian was reading suddenly goes flying as Grayson grabs him from the sofa chair and falls back against the couch, wrapping him tightly in his arms. Sebastian laughs as Grayson buries his face in his neck, and his light stubble tickles his sensitive skin.Grayson's heart swells; Sebastian's laughter is music to his ears. He takes a deep breath in of the Delta 3's incredibly sweet scent, and his chest rumbles in satisfaction. The sound coming from his Alpha sends a shiver down Sebastian's spine. “I was studying,” Sebastian said, biting his lip when he felt Grayson's warm breath fan his neck. “It was taking too long! I feel neglected,” Grayson mumbled against his neck, and Sebastian's stomach fluttered. The Delta 3 pulled his head back and looked at Grayson. “I didn't mean to negl
Third Person's POV Ezra has been standing outside Lexon's door for several minutes, trying to get the courage to go in. He reaches up to knock on the door but pulls his hand back and exhales, letting his hand drop to his side. Ezra hangs his head as he turns to walk away, but the door suddenly opens. “Leaving so soon?” Lexon said, and Ezra slowly turned to face him. When Ezra looked at Lexon, he was relieved to see how well he looked. His skin looked completely normal, and his hair was just past his ears. “You look good,” Ezra said as he moved closer. He reached for Lexon's hair but paused when he saw Aero standing a few feet behind Lexon. “Come on in,” Lexon said as he stepped aside. Ezra swallowed before entering Lexon's room. When he entered the foyer, Aero turned and walked back into his brother's bedroom. Lexon nudged his head for Ezra to follow, and he did. As he entered the Elder’s bedroom, he found Jace sitting on the bed, watching a movie while crocheting. Jace looked
Third Person's POV Jace was concerned when Lexon slept the rest of the day, through the night, and into the following day.He was relieved when his brother-in-law knocked on the door late afternoon. Jace grabbed Aero's hand and quickly dragged him to their bed, where Lexon lay asleep. “Should I wake him? He hasn't woken up since he came home. I tried to give him blood, but he said he was too tired and needed a nap. That was yesterday! He hasn't woken up yet! Should I wake him?” Jace said as he tugged at his fingers, looking between his mate and brother-in-law. Aero wrapped his right arm around Jace and ruffled his hair.“He's okay. He was just exhausted. His body is working overtime to heal his body. Your skin is the largest organ in your body. He was burned from head to toe. 100% of his skin was burned off. I can tell the difference already. His skin is no longer transparent, and his hair is beginning to grow. See, look,” Aero said as he pointed to the stubble growing on Lexon's he
Third Person's POV Darien was excited but nervous. It was not only the first time he'd cooked in two years but also the first time he'd cooked for Wyatt. Wyatt's nose immediately flared as he entered the apartment. His eyes darted around as he closed the door and didn't stop until they landed on Darien. His eyes moved from Darien to the kitchen table, and his lips parted. For a moment, Wyatt is unable to move or speak. His lack of movement makes Darien even more nervous, and realizes he made a mistake. “I, I can make something else if you don't like spaghetti and meatballs. I, I should have asked you first if you liked it. I can whip something else up,” Darien said as he picked up his plate and Wyatt's. Wyatt was beside him instantly and took the plates from his hands. He set them down before grabbing Darien's waist with his left hand and pulling the smaller Alpha toward him. “I love spaghetti! I was just surprised that you did this for me. I wasn't expecting it,” Wyatt said soft
Third Person's POV Darien had a hard time falling asleep. He kept staring at the door and wishing Wyatt would walk through it. The minutes ticked by, and sleep refused to come. Darian glanced at the clock and decided maybe just a little peek would do. As quietly as he can, Darien pulls the blankets back and climbs out of bed. His sleep pants hang low on his waist, and his bare feet are silent against the wood floor as he walks down the hall. He pauses when he realizes the TV is on in the living room. But after a moment, he wonders if Wyatt fell asleep with it on. He didn't think he was watching TV; the sound was off. As quietly as he could, Darien walked into the living room. His heart raced, afraid of getting caught. He was relieved to find the Alpha fast asleep. His eyes were closed, and his lips were parted. He looked so peaceful, Darien thought as he stepped closer. He let out a quiet breath as he sat on the chair beside the couch. He put his elbows on his knees and rested his
Third Person's POV It felt so strange walking through town like a normal person again. It felt strange to be free. Somehow, the alpha next to him makes him forget how strange it is. The way his eyes sparkle with happiness as they walk hand in hand down the street. The way he opens the door for him, keeping his body between him and the road, showing chivalry, and making him feel special. It's something he never thought he would feel after what happened to him. He never thought anyone could possibly accept someone like him, but this man does. Wyatt does it so effortlessly. Darien smiles as Wyatt pulls him into another store. “What kind of art do you like?” Wyatt asked as he pulled him toward the wall of paintings “Maybe we can hang something behind the couch; what do you think?” Wyatt asked as he looked intently at the paintings, studying each one.“Um, I don't know. I think I like this one,” Darien said as he pointed to a large rectangular painting that would fit perfectly behind t
Third Person's POV Ezra stood in the bathroom with his hands against the counter, staring into the sink. Images flashed in his head of what he did to those he loved. Nadja warned him what the darkness could do, and he believed him, but he never thought it would happen to him. He thought he was stronger. He thought he could control it. Ezra found out the hard way that wasn't the case. He remembers recognizing them, but He also remembers thinking they were insignificant. Whatever love he felt for them was no longer there. They were below him and an annoyance that he wanted to get rid of. He remembers what it felt like to hold Nadja's throat in his hand. He felt so powerful holding the ancient life in the palm of his hands. He remembers what it felt like to want to kill him, but what hurts the most is the reason he dropped his flames in the first place: his father. It wasn't because his father made a connection and was close to bringing him back from the darkness; it was because he fel
