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
ZaydenThese rogue attacks are getting ridiculous again. When Grey and I got back we got told there was four attacks in the span of thirty-six hours. We have no idea what they want or why they are attacking us. Anytime we have a rogue captured they end up dying within a few hours. We can’t figure out how or why it’s happening. It’s becoming frustrating.After this attack tonight something seems really fishy. I’m going to have to call and see if other packs in the area are getting attacked also. I have a feeling they are but I need to see if they have any information for me about these rogues. As I enter the packhouse I notice it’s busy. People all over the place trying to straighten things back up and helping the injured, getting people out of the bunkers and back home. I see Dev and walk over to him as he directs a group of teenagers to help with the children find their parents. Thankfully no one got seriously hurt this time.“Dev.” I say as I get close enough to him. His head whips
“Said anything yet?” I asked him looking back at the guy. He doesn’t look like a rogue but he has no scent so we can’t be sure.“No but we were also waiting on you. I know you would have more fun.” He said smirking at me. I chuckle.“Let’s get to it.” I said taking a few steps to the door and turning the handle opening the door. The rogues head tipped up growling.“Shut up. If anyone has the right to be pissed off it’s me and my pack.” I told him taking the chair against the wall and grabbing it putting it down around five feet in front of him. I walk around the chair and sit down looking at him.“I won’t tell you shit.” He spits out.“Probably not but we have our ways to get you to talk.” I tell him cocking my head to the side.“Whatever you thinking of doing I have had worse.” He says between growls. “You won’t brea
"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
