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
“Yes my dear girl. After last night’s shenanigans I knew it was time to come back.” Nyx laughed.“Nyx I have missed you so much.” I told her as I sat the brush down and leaned against the counter as my legs felt like they were going to give out. I never thought I would be one with her again.“I have missed you too. I have always been here but after everything I was on the brink of death and needed some much-needed time to heal.” She tells me.“I understand.” I tell her.“I have always been around and seen through your eyes or your memories little one. I’m sorry it took so long.”“I’m just glad you’re better now Nyx.” I wish I could hug her close to me and never let go. You never realize how attached you are to something until it’s gone.“Me too Eve. Me too. Are you done in here? Can we go see our pup? I have missed him for so long and
“Good morning Eve.” Says Nora who is finishing up her cup of coffee.“Good morning love.” I tell her walking over and plopping down on the chair right next to Nora. “I got some exciting news.” I tell them.“Oh, you mean besides the guys from last night?” Liam asked with an accusatory tone.“Yeah besides that. But we also had it handles so you don’t have to fret.” I tell him with a wave of my hand.“What’s up Eve?” Bailey asked walking out of the bathroom brushing her hair.“Someone want to go wake Sophia?” I asked first.“We will.” Blake said still holding Walker. He walked out the door and a few minutes later Sophia walked in casually clothed. She walks over and plops down on my lap and starts moving her butt to get comfortable. I let a little yelp out from the bone digging in to my leg.“Woman put some meat on this ass b
“Possibly. Next time you want to venture out though please take more than just Bailey or Nora. I know you three are more than capable of defending yourselves but they are our mates and we couldn’t bear to lose them.” Liam states staring at me.“You’re right Liam. I’m sorry. I didn’t think that would happen and put a friend at risk. We won’t do that again and will always have either you or Blake with us.” I tell them.“Thank you.” He says blowing out a breath the same time a knock comes at the door.“That should be the food.” I said walking to the door and opening it. The staff member rolls in a cart with a dome cover. He places the huge tray on the table between the couches and lifts the lid.“Is anything missing miss?” He ask looking at me. I look over the food and shake my head. “Nope. Thank you sir.” I tell him as he puts the lid on the car and wheels
“Is it an in general attack or is it this pack that will be attacked?” Liam asked going in to warrior mode.“This pack from what I understand.” Nyx said worriedly. “I don’t know much because Walker’s dreams don’t come all the time. But this is what his last seeing said.” I told them before reciting Walker’s words.“Two weeks after the next full moon disaster starts a new. The three must come together as one and stop the force that is trying to take over the supernatural realm. Not all good will survive as not all evil will die. Pick and choose. Choose and let lose. Don’t try to save all friends as they have turned their backs and became a foe. They only follow the one they call Orphee.”“Well, that’s something.” Nora said questioningly.“So, wait.” Bailey said holding up her hands. “Two weeks after the next full moon? When Was this sa
ZaydenThese attacks are getting out of hand. All because they think Everleigh is still here. They must not have been watching closely the last five years if they don’t know that she is not here. I sigh as I rub my temples. I have Grey in my office with me as we try to figure something out that will help. We have a list of packs around us that we need to call but that is our last resort.“Did you hear about the rogues that were captured the other night?” Grey asked bringing me out of my thoughts.“Yeah. Two were unconscious when our patrol arrived and one was dead up in a tree. I still want to know how that was managed.” I tell him focusing back on the paper in front of me.“I don’t know but they were flung somehow up there and the person they were against must have been really strong. That shit thing is, is that there were no other scents besides those of the rogues.” He tells me. &l
I hear a huff before the phone is slammed down on something hard. I hear a door slam through the receiver. I waited for nearly five minutes before I faintly hear a door close and the phone being picked up.“This is Alpha Stark.”“Stark you need a new secretary or something because that bitch was rude as fuck.” I tell him honestly.He sighs. “Yeah, apparently my sister has a key to my office. The way it reeks in here I would say she was having sex with a warrior. Probably why she was rude. I really need to get them changed. She is pissed off because I became Alpha and not her.”“One of these days she is going to do the wrong thing and cause a war to happen.” I tell him.“Unfortunately. I have told my parents to keep her away from the packhouse and especially my office but they won’t. Anyways, what can I do for you Zay?”“I was wondering if I could have a summit at your pa
“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
