I hand Grey one of the key cards as we walk back outside to grab our bags. Once we have them I lock the SUV back up and we walk back in heading to the elevator to go up to our room.
This hotel is pretty fancy in a technological way. I’ve never seen one where your key card works with an elevator. It’s interesting. As we stand here waiting on the elevator to come down, my eyes wonder around.
Whoever owns this place has done a great job. There are pictures of the forest, city, carnivals, and animals in different sections. There looks to be a little book nook in the corner by a fake fireplace that isn’t lit up.
The common room area where the big tv is and huge sectional. If I didn’t know any better I would say this could pass as a pack house.
The elevator arrives and Grey and I step in. I notice there are no buttons on the wall to push so the only way to get our floor is through the key cards. How interesting. I might have to add some type of security like th
EverleighWe are nearing the end of our last day before we leave. I just got finished with Mr. and Mrs. Milstead and I’m packing up my props and camera when Sophia walks over to me smiling.“That was amazing.” She said to me.I smiled at her and nodded my head.“This week has flown by so fast. I can’t believe we leave tomorrow to go to your old pack.” She squeals.“I know this is so surreal. And to have you all going with me as support has my feelings all over the place.” I tell her as I zip up my last bag before picking it up. I look at her and smile.I love my little family so very much. I’m so happy they have all came in to my life.“So, our plane leaves at five in the morning so we will have to leave at 3:30 a.m. to make it to the airport in time. You know what that means right?” She asked me with a mischievous glint in her eyes.&ldqu
The sun is beating down on me through the cracks of the limbs as I lay under a canopy of trees. A beautiful breeze is blowing my fur slightly and the smell of fresh air is all around. I open my eyes when I feel a little movement to my left on my body. I look over and see Walker sleeping against me. I nuzzle his cheek trying to wake him up. I watch as he wraps his little arm around my leg and cuddles closer. I wish I could show him my wolf. I haven’t been able to shift since we rejected our mates. Nyx says she is fine, that it’s just taking longer since we had two of them for her health and strength to come back. I know she is still there because I can feel her but I miss talking to her all the time. She will come out when absolutely necessary but other than that I don’t hear from her. I watch as she nuzzle Walker more and lick his cheek. He giggles and tries hiding his face in her fur. She lick his ear this time going from his
I notice that the wolf cocks its head sidewise like he doesn’t know Walker. I know this wolf from somewhere though but I can’t pinpoint it. “This here is my friend Snowy. I don’t know if you remember her. She protects me from the bad people just like my mommy does.” Walker says while running his fingers through my fur. “Chocolate can we go for a run?” He asked the strange wolf like it’s an everyday occurrence. The wolf nods it’s head before laying back down and walker climb on his back after we helped nudge him up. The brown wolf whimpers a little and slightly nudge hour front leg with his nose. We looked at me and we felt a small spark go between us. Nyx growls and turns her head to the side breaking eye contact. I hear a happy howl before he carefully takes off with Walker on his back. I slow down and he bumps me and run a little faster. I huff at him
I jolt awake right as my alarm goes off. I shut off my alarm as my mind starts over thinking. I can’t believe I dreamed of Grey. I haven’t done that in the last year and a half. I haven’t dreamed of either one of them. I thought it was because I was finally getting over them.But how does Walkers dream self, know of Shadow? I know he says he dreams of them but how? He has never met them.I threw myself back on the bed and let out a sigh. This is getting complicated. Hopefully we won’t run in to them until the last day we are there. I sit back up and get off the bed. I head towards the bathroom to do my business. Once I’m done I wash my hands and walk out and grab my phone off the side table.I head towards the kitchen to make me a cup of tea and notice the sun is starting to set. Blake, Nora, Liam and Bailey should be here soon with Walker and Sophia should be here not much longer after them. I turn the light on as I enter the
I shake my head then shutter a little. “Nope. I’m good. It was bad enough I had to see that and go through that within my pack. I mean they weren’t disrespectful to their parents or anyone else. Just me.” I finish my tea and set my cup down on the side table.“So, tell us about this pack we are going to? What’s it like?” Bailey asked with curiosity.“Honestly I wasn’t there long enough to know much about it but what I can say is it’s a pretty big pack. When I was there they didn’t have much. Just a few stores here and there, a café, coffee shop, barber shop and school for the kids. But there are a lot of people.I always heard that people would have to drive at least an hour and half to a city and not just a town.”“Wow that sounds like a small rural town.” Bailey whispered before stating a little louder. “Hopefully they upgraded some like you have in this sma
ZaydenWhen I wake up I’m shocked I actually slept all night with no dreams, no waking in the middle of the night and no go back to sleep. I stretch before getting up to go to the bathroom. The smell of coffee hits my nose. I inhale because it smells like the stuff we have on the plane.Wonder if Grey grabbed some before we got off. I shrug it off and go to the bathroom to do my business. Once I’m done I walk back to the room and grab a pair of sleep pants. I put them on before walking out of the room and down the hall way.The smell of bacon and eggs makes me walk a little faster as my stomach starts to growl hungrily. I feel like I haven’t eaten in years. I mean technically that’s not true but I haven’t eaten as much as I should. When I get to the kitchen Grey is just plating the food. He turns and smiles to me.“I heard that monster demanding food all the way in here.” He chuckles while
I grab my boxers and slide them on under my towel. Once they are in place I remove the towel and grab my jeans sliding them up to my hips. I grab my shirt and slide over my arms and button it up leaving the top two buttons un done.I tuck the bottom of my shirt in to my jeans before buttoning and zipping them up. I walk back over and grab the belt off my jeans from last night and put it on. As I’m finishing putting it through my belt loops I hear the water shut off and within a few seconds Grey is stepping out with a towel hanging loose on his hips.I watch as he strolls over and grabs his clothes. He drops his towel and slides on his boxers. I turn my attention back to fastening my belt and grabbing my phone out of my night pant bottoms and putting it in my jean pocket. I go back to the jeans I wore last night and grabbed my wallet and knife I always carry with me. It’s not for protection but it’s a gift my grandfather gave me before he passed away.
EverleighWe made it to Silver creek territory and got checked in to our Hotel. We decided to wait a day before doing anything. We are around 20 miles from the packhouse in the business district. We plan on shopping and eating and relaxing before going back tomorrow.Since I haven’t been this far out before I am kind of looking forward to it. Walker hasn’t been anywhere out of town so he is like a hyperactive person after eating way to many sweets.Sophia has never been in a pack territory before so she is a bit jumpy even though Silver creek is a very good pack to humans. I notice there are a lot walking around. We decided to walk and enjoy the scenery since everything was pretty close together.My four protectors have been walking in a semicircle around us just in case. I don’t think anyone here would know who I am but I am still afraid that someone will notice me and tell Zayden and Grey. I don’t want to
"Mama.” He said between sobs. “I missed you mama.”“I missed you too my sweet boy.” She said trying to keep her emotions at bay. I stepped around them and sat his plate right next to hers and Walker’s right next to his. Walker looked up at me then back down to his friend then back to me. I pointed to his plate and he nodded before walking to the chair and sitting down. I sat down next to him and began eating.“What?” Dawn asked looking at me.“I couldn’t do it. I can’t say no as you can see. She needed this and we need her to trust us.” I tell her before taking another bite. I hear a chair scrape against the floor and look over to see Desi pushing Felix’s chair in before she sits down too. We all begin eating, no one saying anything. Breakfast was almost over when there was a commotion in the dining hall door way.“What the fuck are they doing here?” I hear a female
“Morning mommy.” Walker said yawning.“Good morning Walkers mommy.” Felix said with a smile.“Go get dressed bug and I’ll have Evan bring some clothes for you Felix. Then we can go have breakfast. I have a surprise for you buddy.” I tell them. Walker pushes the blanket off him and gets out of bed stretching his limbs before grabbing his clothes and going to the bathroom to get changed.I pick up my phone and text Liam asking him to see if Dawn or Evan could bring clothes up for Felix. Within seconds his reply of ‘already on the way’ came. A minute later there was a knock on the door and I stood up to answer it. Liam was there holding out the clothes for me to take. I smile at him and notice Bailey behind him.“Want to come in a minute?” I asked them stepping aside. “We can all go down together when Felix gets dressed.”“Good morning Eve. Did you sleep well?” B
EverleighI don’t know what to believe anymore or who to trust. I believed everything Desi said as she recounted her story. Nyx said she wasn’t lying and I believe her. My wolf would never lie to me. She even said it was a gift from mother. Unless she is talking about the Moon Goddess, I don’t have a clue who else it would be. I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night as my thoughts ran ramped.I guess why we were in our meeting Bailey ran back to the hotel and grab us all a change of clothes. Liam insisted that she take someone with her since he couldn’t as he was watching the boys. When she came back was about the same time Blake showed up telling Liam were to take the boys. Liam helped me by getting Felix changed as I changed Walker. I thanked him before he left to go to the room he was given.I watch as the sun starts to come up through the crack in the curtains on the window. I get up and walk to the bathr
Everleigh claps her hands before standing up. “Alright that’s it for tonight. Let’s find Desi a room and have a warrior stand guard at her door just in case. Let’s get her some clothes so she can shower. We can have the omega’s bring up food since it’s so late. And we all need sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long ass day. Plus, I know the boys are already down for the night. Blake, go get Liam and Bailey and have them put the boys in my room for tonight.”“Which room are you in Eve?” Blake asked.Everleigh looks at Dawn and she gives a sheepish smile, while Everleigh gives her a deadpan look. “Seriously.” All Dawn does is nod.“Top floor very last door on the right.” Everleigh sighs out to this Blake guy. He nods and takes off with a women following behind him.“Desi you will be on the Beta floor in the guest room next to Evan and Dawn.” Gamma Dev says looking at me
My eyes widen in shock. “I knew I recognized you from somewhere the first time I seen you but I couldn’t place it. I just shook it off at that time as I had a mission to do. You and your brother look a lot alike except you have more feminine features.” I tell her.“Ok go on.” She says finally.“Well, as you know that didn’t pan out so they made a rash decision and decided to go after Zayden since he was a well-known, feared and recognizable Alpha. Plus, they knew I was his type. No offense Everleigh.” I add looking at her.“I knew Zayden through friends even if we didn’t hardly ever hang out when I was in the pack. I did spend a lot of time with his mom though. I knew she loved me and wanted me for her son. When I came back to visit I found out that Zayden had found his mate. It was not going to stop me though. My mate was constantly being tortured at this point as I wasn’t showing progress like t
DesiI let out a heavy breath, look at each one of the people in the room before speaking. This is going to be the hardest thing to tell people I don’t know, fucked over and ruined their lives. Hopefully it will help them and in turn help me.“I’m not proud of what I have done in my life. As some of you may not know I turned 28 a few months back. It all started right after my 18th birthday. I had someone interested in me as a mate before I even met my Goddess given mate. I kindly turned them down and told them I was waiting for my Goddess given mate. If, at that time, five years passed and I still hadn’t found him I would gladly take the person as my chosen. He was a seasoned warrior who’s mate had perished in child birth along with their child.When I hit my 20th birthday I found my mate. He was a Lead Warrior in the neighboring pack. I went there to visit a friend from school who’s mate was also in the pack. I planned on going back home and telling my family about my mate but when I
She must sense someone here as she turns over and locks eyes with Tyler.“What do you want?” She ask in a raspy voice. Before he could say anything I stepped up to the door. When she notices my movement she looks at me with a look of surprise.“Everleigh?” She questioned.“Desi.” I said in monotone voice nodding my head at her.“What are you doing here?” She ask sitting up and swinging her legs over the edge of the cot.“We need to talk.” I tell her.“Ok?” She questioned.“The guys have been taken and being held somewhere. Did you have anything to do with it?” I flat out asked her.The look of shock on her face told me no before she even said it. “No. I would never. I have done enough damage to last a life time for everyone.” She said with a slight quiver in her voice.“Do you know who is behind it?” I asked her.
“Tell me what you know.”“Luna Aria from what I heard is a great strategist. She helps Alpha Stark with training, patrols and battle strategies. Luna Jazzlyn is good at calming heated people. She is usually pretty good at reading people and seeing through their bullshit. She is a little sensitive but she is a great Luna.”“Good to know. Is there anyone in this pack that Luna Jazzlyn was skeptical about?” I asked her as I wrote down what she said.“Not to my knowledge but I don’t think she met very many people. Just the higher ups. She mainly stayed by Jaxon side the entire time they were here.”“Understandable.” I tell her finishing up my note before looking up at everyone. I take a deep breath and let it out before asking the next question.“Where does Desi play in, in all of this?” I ask Dawn.I watch as she grimaces and looks down to the floor. “I don&rsqu
“Alright. Stop calling me Luna. I am not your guys Luna anymore.” I tell them with a sigh. “Let’s get to it. While the guys are gone I will call the other Luna’s.” The guys make their way out of the office and I sit back down rubbing my temples. I pick up the phone, put it on speaker phone and call the first on the list.The phone rings a few times before it is picked up by a soft cracking voice. “Luna Jazzlyn speaking.”“Luna this is Everleigh over in Silver creek Pack. We need your help.”“I can’t help right now Everleigh. We are in our own difficulties.” She says with a quivering voice.“Is your mate missing just as Zayden and Grey are?” I flat out asked her.“How did you know? Who are you?” She demanded.“I am Zayden and Grey’s ex-mate.” I told her as that’s the only thing she needed to know.“Oh, I heard about you. How can I help Everleigh?” She asked.“I’m calling a Luna summit.” I tell her. “I’m going to call Alpha Stark
