Chapter 24

last update Last Updated: 2024-09-14 21:00:00

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

    “There is an attack.” She said as she went behind the counter. “Would you all like a coffee? Something to eat while we wait?”“You don’t have to do that ma’am.” I tell her putting Walker down.“Nonsense.” She said waving her hand at me. “I love cooking. That’s why I opened this bakery. I live above this place so I have the stuff to make actual food and not just sweets.”I chuckle. “Ok. Do we know how long we will be here?”“The sirens will go off once everything is clear. The longest they have went off before was a full day.”“Wow. Glad they have the system though. At least it helps keep people safe.” Nora said in awe.“Yes dear. They were put in effect around four or five years ago when rogues kept attacking our pack.” She said as she started pouring coffee in to cups. She grabbed a juice box out from the fridge and

    “What’s in it? It smells good.” Blake asked as he took the ladle from Mable and scooped some in to a bowl for Nora then himself.“Carrots, cabbage, canned tomatoes, hotdogs, a few other things and seasonings.” She said taking a bite. “After my grandfather passes away gran would always make this for us once a week to always remember him by since that was his ‘diet’ food.” She chuckled.“I don’t see how it’s healthy.” Bailey whispered as she took a bite then moaned.“I don’t see it either dear but he swore by it. I cook it because I like it. Want some bread?” Mable asked the table.We all nodded and she handed out the bread. I look at Walker and smile. He is so engrossed in what he is watching that he isn’t even paying attention to what he is eating as puts the empty spoon in his mouth.“Baby you have to put food on the spoon before taking a bi

    “Let’s go find her and let Aunt Sophia have some much-needed alone time.” I say standing up. Walker walks over and shuts the Tv off before walking around and picking up their plates and cups, toys and miscellaneous things they have placed everywhere.“Thank you Sophia. I really appreciate you.” I say turning towards her.“No problem Everleigh. You know I love that little boy like he was my own and Felix is getting there too. They are the best little boys anyone could have the pleasure of watching.” I smile knowing that having them around means the world to her.After the boys pick up their things we head out the door after giving hugs and saying bye. We walk down the hallway towards our room when I see Desi coming out of her room.“I was just going to look for you boys.” She says smiling down at them.“We were on our way to you mom.” Felix says with a yawn.“Uh oh, I thi

    “Feels like it’s been years since I’ve seen you Everleigh.” She whispers letting go of me.“I’m sorry Soph. I didn’t expect all this to happen and mess up our vacation.” I tell her looking at the floor. “I’m not the Luna but this still feels like my pack and I have to do something.” I say slowly looking up at her.“I understand babe. I promise I do. I don’t mind. I love watching the boys and Rylan. They are so good with her. Plus, her dad isn’t bad to look at either.” Sophia says winking at me causing me to chuckle.“I need to talk to Walker though. There is something I need to see if he can do.” I say turning to look at the boys giggling at the moving they are watching. “I don’t want to put it on him but he is the only one I know that can dream walk. I really need to talk to one of the guys.”“I watched him do it with Aria and Jaz

    I hear the buzz of voices in the background as I walk around the office not knowing what I’m doing and doubting myself. How do the guys do this day in and day out? I mean yeah they grew up learning this stuff but how does the stress not eat them alive? I feel like I’m failing everyone. The scouts got hurt because I sent them out. The guys are missing because some asshole is after me. They don’t even know they have a son because I couldn’t bring myself to come back and tell them. I couldn’t bring myself to come back and see them happy with someone else. Even if they didn’t I couldn’t bring myself to come back and be hurt again by all the memories.Over the years I have learned that it wasn’t all on them but the hurt in my heart couldn’t keep me here. It would be never ending while someone was plotting against my mates and me. I don’t know what this Orphee person is after or why but I know it’s bad. I know they w

    “She will be here in a jiffy.” Dawn says coming out of the mind-link. “Good thinking Everleigh. We honestly don’t think of things like that. We have been around nothing but good witches and Fae over the last five years that we don’t stop and think.” She says apologetically.“That doesn’t make since. After everything that has happened you all really put your trust in witches not to be dark still?” I scoffed.“It’s not like that Everleigh. We have had rogue attacks still but the witches have left us alone. Because of Vor and Wendy we don’t have any issues with them thankfully. They have done such an amazing job with their warding around the pack lands we haven’t had to worry about dark ones coming in. Anyone with magical ill intentions is not allowed to cross over to the main part of the pack lands.” Evan explains.“But others who have ill intentions can still come and go?&rd

    EverleighIt’s been three days since we sent the scouts out. Three days since we heard anything. Dev says this is how it is sometimes when they are on a mission. It’s an eight-hour drive to that pack. They could have flown but that is too easy to trace and they would have known as soon as it landed. Since it was late at night when they left they would have gotten there around three in the morning. We have not seen Zayden’s mom Eve the last few days which is worrying me a little. I don’t know why but I have a feeling she is behind a lot of this.We went and visited Liam. There is still no way of knowing when he will wake up. His wolf is still out. Bailey sits by him every day all day long. I had a hard time convincing her to go shower last night. I told her I was going to sit by him until she returned to make sure someone was here with him. He reluctantly agreed to it. I talked to the doctor about putting him up in the Alp

    “You and your mates are still linked. It is very weak but it is still there. When you are close all powers will be restored and strengthened.” Vor said shaking her head to clear it. She clears her throat before focusing on everyone else. “Yes, anyways, I have a few pendants that I will give the warriors to wear. You must not take them off until you get back here. It will cover your scents, tracks and there is a barrier spell put in them so no one will see you easily. If they are close enough they still can but it will distort your figure and camouflage you from a distance.”“Wow that’s more than what I was going see if you could do.” Everleigh said with a chuckle. That chuckle sent my heart in to overdrive. I have missed my mate so much. “I will go get those then these men can head off. The sooner they go the sooner we can get the kids back.” Vor said grabbing Wendy&rsqu

    I open my eyes and blink back the brightness. What in the hell? I look around and notice I am in my office. But I am not alone. I see Dev, Evan, Dawn, a few other warriors and Desi. What the hell is Desi doing in my office?! I thought outraged. She should be in the cells! Why did they let her out?Before I could move the door to my office opened and in walked the last person I thought I would ever see. My breath caught in my throat at the beautiful sight before me. My beautiful mate. Everleigh. Her name came out breathlessly from my lips. I watch as she halts for a second before she shakes her head and shuts the door behind her. “I found out about the kids. We need to send a scout to look in to it.” She says walking over to the others who are huddled around my meeting table looking at something. I slowly walk over and look over her shoulder as she bends over looking at something. I feel a slight shiver move over her body but what catc

    When I get out of here I’m killing this motherfucker with my own bare hands. Or maybe I will take him back to the pack and torture him before killing him. Grey can help me with it. These fuckers deserve it. They wouldn’t stand a chance against any of us if they didn’t drug us to begin with. I’m just hoping we all get out of here alive.The rough jerk of my shirt and almost falling brought me out of my thoughts.“Come. We don’t have all day.” The jerk said in a snarl. “If it wasn’t for them wanting you I would have killed you already Zayden.” He spits out.“You only had to drug me because you couldn’t take me on when I was at full strength. Just wait asshole. You will get what’s coming to you.” I tell him through clinched teeth.The asshole laughs before spinning me around and punching me hard in the face. I feel my cheek throb. I think the prick broke my cheekbone. Damn it. Without Rye I’m going to be fucking hurting from all this shit worse than I already am.“You hit like a human.”

    ZaydenWe still don’t know where we are or how long we have been here. The days are running together. It doesn’t help they are constantly knocking us out with some concoction. The cells we are in have no windows and we can’t tell if it’s night or day. Once in a while someone will come in and unchain one of us and drag us off to another windowless room to do experiments on us. They never told us what these experiments are for but we know they are back. We are getting weaker by the minute. I haven’t been able to feel Rye since we got here and they first injected us.Grey is in worse shape than I am and one of Starks warriors passed with the last set of experiments. Thankfully with his wolf dormant for now and the link to his pack weakened, he wasn’t able to feel this warriors link break in full force. He said it reminded him of kind of like a rubber band snapping. I’m hoping Grey can make it out of here. If something happens to him before we make it out I might just give up myself. We ma
