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
“You can stop this by telling me about the girl you are after.” I tell him as I leave him panting on the chair and walk back over the cabinet dropping the whip on the floor. I look over the tools again. I stop and pull out a pair of pliers and a knife.I know we are wolves and have claws but I prefer not to put my hands or claws in to our “guest” mouth or other openings unless I’m tearing out their hearts or slitting their throats.My hand tightens around the instruments as I walk back over to the rogue. I sit in the chair across from him. I put my elbows on my knees as I lean towards him a little bit.“Now tell me about this woman.” I demand pushing out my alpha aura. I know it doesn’t work on people who are not in my pack but you never know if he might have ties somewhere along the way.He is panting hard as I watch the flames turning purple as they heat up then blue as they cool down. The hotter the
“This is my idea for the rescue. With not knowing how many of the witches would be willing to help out I estimated two to each group. The vampires that will be helping out from my coven will add an extra ten to each group. I like the idea of three groups going in.Since these two lands boarder each other our best bet would be to attack from the North, East and South of White Fang. The other group will attack from the North, South, and West of Black Lake. The groups on the East and West sides will cause a distraction to get as many rogues and warriors to those sides as possible.”He looks around at everyone and nods before continuing. “While the distraction is happening the two groups on the North and South sides will advance inwards. Those two groups will break in to two more groups.The first group will fight and keep the other group covered so they can go in and get the kids out. But the problem is how will we get the kids to safety when we g
“I think the kids need to be rescued first. They have no way to defend themselves. Their captures might start hurting them if we go after the others before them.” Jazzlynn says.“I agree. But the rescues need to be started within an hour of each other. We need to find a way that there is no communication with others outside of that pack to get to the adults captures.” Aria says.“I can help with that. Well, my coven anyways. They love Zayden as their own and wants him back too. He saved a lot of us and we want to do the same for him. I will go and see who will volunteer for the rescue.” Vor said standing up.“Thank you Vor.” Dawn says.She goes out the door quickly and we hear the click of the lock as it engages knowing she just locked us in.“So where are the thought processes of these rescues? How far have you gotten?” Lord Carmykel asked looking around.“Honestly we haven&r
“They are hybrids so the sun doesn’t bother them as much as a full fledge vampire.” He said before commenting, “Now that, that is out of the way let’s get to strategizing on how we are going to save all these people.”“Does anyone have any plans? I know everyone has been thinking of things. I want to start off with the kids safety first.” I say turning around to look at the map.“I have an idea.” Buster said.We all turn to look at him.“You said Gamma Dev is taking the lead on the rescue of the kids correct?” Buster asked looking at Dev for conformation.We nod our heads. “Who will be going with him? Like how many warriors? We can’t send to many because then it will lead to an easier attack on the pack if someone knows.”“I planned on taking a few of the higher-ranking warriors, sending a few with Evan also and leaving a handful here to protect t
Everleigh“How do you know Lord Carmykel?” I asked him looking skeptical.“I’ve been to various places, met many sketchy people, but this one here.” He says holding up a picture of one of the guys on a table looking like a lab rat, “Is on a clan grounds. I watched as it was built. It was supposed to be a research center to help find resources for Vampires and hybrids. To find ways for us to go in the sun and not get sick, find ways to help curve our appetite and so forth. That was over 60 years ago when it was built. There was supposedly an accident that destroyed it around ten years ago. Apparently not. From the looks of it, it’s working just fine.” He says lowering the picture.“Where is this research center?” Vor asked him.“Black Lake. It is a little over six hours away by car.”“How far away from White Fang is that?” I asked.
“How did you know?” She asked looking at the floor.“The weird things you eat, you don’t drink which could honestly be just because you don’t like to and your scent has slightly changed.”Oh shit, she’s pregnant! I thought to myself.Everyone’s eyes almost bug out their heads when they whip their heads towards Luna Jazzlynn.“Why didn’t you tell me?” Asked Luna Aria.“We were going to have a party and invite everyone before this shit storm happened.”“Have you had a checkup done recently?” I asked her“No. I haven’t had the chance to yet.” She admits.“Luna Aria, take her down to the clinic and get her checked. The stress of everything going on is not good for her or the pup. We will update you all when you get back.” I say looking at Luna Aria. She nods and stands, grabbing Luna Jazzlyn’s hands and pull
“No absolutely not!” She screeched. “I will not allow my child or anyone’s child to go in to a dangerous situation. No.”“But mom..” He started.“No buts mister. The answer is no. You are five years old. You have no business going in to something like this. This is for the adults bug. I know you are the man of the house when we are home but here there is too much danger.”“Momma..” He starts again.“Walker the final answer is NO. N. O. NO. You will not be going. If I catch you anywhere near us when we go to leave I will have them lock you and Felix in a room for your own safety. I will not take the chance of something happening to either of you. Do you understand?” She said pulling the boys off of her and standing up.“Yes momma.” Walker said sadly. “Come on Felix. Let’s go back to Aunt Sophia.” Walker grabs Felix’s hand and drags him o
VorWe made it up to the office and noticed everyone was there but Blake, Nora and Bailey. I walked over to the desk and put the box down before turning around and facing everyone.“Where are the others?” I asked.“Bailey is with Liam. She said she would love to be here but her first priority is Liam. Blake and Nora will be here within the hour. They didn’t want to leave Bailey by herself after a long night. I guess there was some complication that happened.” Everleigh stated.“Okay, we can catch them up later. When we are done I will go check on them and make sure the stress isn’t going to hurt Bailey or the baby and see if I can’t do anything for Liam.” I say turning around. I start taking things out of the box when I get the feeling we are being watched somehow. I stop what I’m doing and stand up straight. I whisper an incantation for an illusion of us doing the opposite of what we are actually doing. When I’m done I turn around and face the others.“I don’t know if you all just fe
“Can you mind link the other 3 and ask them to meet us in the office when they get done or up. I’ll find Everleigh and can you also link the front guards and tell them to expect Lord Carmykel. When he shows up to just let him through and don’t make him stop.”“I can do that rabbit. You’re amazing you know that right and that I love you so very much?”Hearing my mates nickname for me makes my body relax. It’s been so crazy lately I haven’t hardly been able to see her.“I love you too Wendy. So very much. I will see you here in a little bit for the meeting.” I tell her before cutting the link. I gather up all the medallions and potions that have been made besides the one for Calix. Remy walks in as soon as I get the last vial in the box. I look up at him and smile.“Remy my dear boy. Can you can make sure Calix’s potion isn’t tampered with while it sits in the sun all day? W
“Understood Vor. As soon as this Luna is back after she gives Calix the potion we will leave. Before that I want a rundown of everything that is happening.”“Understood Myke. I will have the guard at the front keep an eye out for you and will have them let you through without stopping. Just go straight to the underground parking and bring the elevator up.” I tell him.“Understood. Until tomorrow Vor I bid you good well.” He said before hanging up.I set the phone back down on my desk and rub my temples. Why must people always have to try to take over the world?I stand up and gather my things before walking out the door and locking it behind me. Thankfully I’m only on the second floor so I run down the stairs and out the front door to my car. I open my door, fling my bag inside and jump in starting it. I already have it in drive before my door is fully closed. My normal 20-minute drive to the coven, my house I had
