“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
“I need to talk to you both.” He said.“What’s up Evan. Is everything ok?” Grey asked.“Yes I got something to tell you. Can we go to the office?” He asked nervously.“Yeah. We will meet you there in 20. Let us get cleaned up first.” I told him.“Alright.” He said turning around to head to the office.I look at Grey and he shrugs his shoulders. “Let’s go get cleaned up and see what he wants. Honestly I wish I could sleep but I can take a small nap afterwards.” We head up the stairs and Grey makes it to the door before I do. He opens it up and heads toward the closet.He grabs a pair of dark blue jeans, boxers and a white button-down shirt before walking to the bathroom. I go to the closet and grab a pair of black dress pants, boxers and a black button-down shirt for myself.I’m glad our shower has two shower heads so we don’t have to wait o
EverleighI have been laying in this bed for three hours and sleep will not come. I’m afraid my tossing and turning is going to wake Walker up so I get up and go to the bathroom and do my business. When I walk out, the thought of lying down isn’t appealing. Something inside of me is feeling restless.Maybe if I go for a walk it will help. I slide a hoodie on over my tank top and smooth it out. Thankfully it covers my butt too. I love leggings because they are comfy but I don’t like my butt hanging out.I walk over to the door where our shoes are and put my tennis shoes on. Grab my small knife that I always carry on me and the room key and slip in to the pocket on the leg of my leggings.I slip out the door, closing it carefully behind me and go across the hall lightly knocking on the door. When it opens I smile.“I can’t sleep and want to go for a small walk. Would you like to come with me
Still nothing. I feel her tense beneath my arms and tighten my grip on her.“Bailey?” I said this time while pulling on her arm. I watch as she blinks and clears her eyes.She looks at me and smiles. “Yes Eve?”“What’s going on? It looked like you noticed something.” I asked her as the gentleman sat our drinks on the window counter.“That will be $8.75 girls.”Bailey pulls a ten-dollar bill out of her pocket and puts it on the window counter next to the cups before grabbing one and me grabbing the other. “Keep the change sir. Thank you.” She said before turning around and slipping out of my hand.I also thank the gentleman and turned around to follow her. I notice that is still scanning her surrounding but still walking at a leisurely pace.“Bailey? What’s wrong?” I ask as I catch up to her.“Someone is here. They are watching. I only caug
“Bailey!” I yelled.“Oh, don’t mind him. He’s having fun with your friend. Nothing she hasn’t done before I’m sure. He will take really good care of her and make sure she is well taken care of.” He said as dug through the pack looking for something.I heard his say ah ha before pulling out a covered needle with clear liquid inside. I watch as he pulls the plastic over off and taps the tube a few times.I start squirming and shaking trying to get loose.“You aren’t going anywhere.” He said chuckling. “You will be coming with me and once we are safe we will be attacking this pack and taking all the women and children and killing all the men here. We have big plans for ALL of you.”I feel my body start to get warm, tingles shooting up from my stomach to my fingertips. I feel the wind pick up and throw my hair all over my face. I watch as the guy looks up from towards t
Even with so much on our minds we made it there with no more issues. Most of the blood on Bailey had washed off from the rain which I’m thankful for. We didn’t want any questioning looks form the staff members. We go to the elevator and hit the button waiting for it to come down.We look at each other and bust up laughing.“Eve, even though that was horrible that was the most fun I’ve had in a while. I honestly could have taken that guy at any time but I love playing weak to give the people fake hope that they will get me the way they want me.”I laughed. “I was wondering because I know for a fact you are stronger than that.”As the elevator dinged and the doors opened, we walked inside, hit the button for our floor and waited.Once we made it up to our floor we got out. I waited until she made it to her room before I went and opened my door. I snuck in, grabbed dry clothes and took a quick shower to wash a
“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
