ZaydenI make it to Everleigh’s room in no time. When I open the door I’m transported back to when she woke up in the hospital when she got here. I see her curled up in the corner at the far end of the room. Her eyes are darting around like she is seeing something else. I take a step in to the room shutting the door and put my hands in the air. The movement startles her enough and she whips her head in my direction. I watch as her eyes go wide before saddened emotions start flying over her face.I take a step in her direction and stop.“Everleigh.” I sigh out and smile.She cocks her head to the side and sniffs the air. I hear her heart rate pick up before she launches herself at me, wrapping her legs around my waist and burying her nose in the crook of my neck. I wrap my arms around her and bury my nose in her neck. Inhaling her scent to calm my nerves down.“Where is Grey?” I hear her whisper against my skin, sending goosebumps all over my body.“He is coming baby.” I tell her trail
Everleigh I believe I’ve been here for a month already. The window in my room, I have come to find out, is enchanted. I can’t really go by it if it’s actually day time or not. Let alone how long I have actually been here. There are days when the light in the window seems to go down faster than others and other days it feels like it’s been sunnier longer. They haven’t tried tying me up or keeping me in this room, though this is where I stay most of the time. I roamed around the house a little bit the first day after I woke up. I haven’t seen but a few patrol guards either. Yes I can get out of here at any time but I’m bidding my time trying to find out what is going on and why he is really doing all this. His thinking makes no since at all. I mean why would I want to be with someone who would treat me like me shit in public but cherish me in private? That makes absolutely no since at all. Once I get all the information I need I’m getting the hell out
I’ve been driving for around six hours and the beacon in my chest is getting stronger every mile I make it so I know I am getting close. I wonder if I will have any issues getting in the territory. I have been gone a month and from what Briar told me they found someone else. I wonder if anyone else knows about her yet. I don’t realize how close I am to the territory until I see wolves running next to me in the woods. I slow down the car before going around a curve and slamming on the breaks so I don’t hit the heavy metal gates that are closed. A wolf steps out and shift to their human form. I recognize him as a warrior but I don’t know his name. He puts on a pair of shorts and walks to the driver side window. I roll it down when he gets closer and he stops short. “I’m sorry Luna. I didn’t know you left the pack house.” He says shocked. “Since we have been on lock down no one was suppose to be let out.” “I just need a quick break and a run in to town.” I said
Everleigh I wake up to bright lights overhead. I groan as I try to move and cover my eyes with my arm. Something pulls at my arm and keeps it from coming all the way up. I cracked my eyes open and notice the needles, wires and tubes around me. The all-white walls and the uncomfortable bed under my back. The scratchy blanket that laid across my body. I sigh opening my eyes and turning my head to look at him. I suck in a breath at the sight of him. His eyes are no longer the bright chocolate brown I’m use to. They are duller. Less lively. They look sunken in and have dark circles around them like he hasn’t slept in a while. I pull my hand away from him before trying to sit up. The pain in my chest and lower body feels like I’ve been hit by a semi-truck. Grey sees I’m struggling and helps me sit up then uses the remote to move the back of bed up to a leaning position. “Thanks.” I tell him pulling the blanket back up that fell. “Anything for you.” He whispers while looking down on the
Thank you all for baring with me on this second book. I’m sorry it’s taken so long to get it out. Between a fulltime job, kids and hitting a writing block, it’s taken me way too long to write this. I hope you enjoy it. Song List for the Unexpected Surprise… They are not in order for chapters. Just the main ones I’ve listened to while writing.

Everleigh It’s been five years since I left my mates behind. Five years since I started a life for myself. I have not looked in to them even though I wanted to. I haven’t contacted anyone from the pack at all. Five years ago, when I decided to leave after my mates marked another and all the other crap that has happened I moved as far away as I needed to keep safe. I almost lost Nyx after them marking that fake bitch but she is strong and still with me.I haven’t been able to shift but I can still feel her in me and once in a while she will talk to me. Moving from Missouri to Georgia was a safe feeling I had when I got this far. No one knew me or what I was. I moved to a human city as Nyx agreed. We moved to the outskirts of a city with a wooded area that was easily accessible. Even though I couldn’t shift it still felt right to live here. We felt more at peace.I was here a few days before I started looking for a job that I could do since it would technically be my first job eve
“You ready for tonight bugger?” I asked him.“Yes!” He squealed. “Bowling and pizza. Mom I’m going to beat you this time!” He said jumping up and down.“How about we make a deal? If you win I won’t make you do chores for three days. If I win you have to help me with dinner a couple nights this week on top of your chores.” I tell him knowing that he wouldn’t complain too much. He loves helping me cook and I love it when he helps me.“Yes. You’re on! Even if I win I will still help with dinner!” He shouts pumping his little hands in the air. He runs off down the hall to his own office room to play.I turn to look at Sophia. “You’re coming to right?” I ask her.She shakes her head, “No. I have a date tonight.”“It’s ok. Maybe next week.” I said smiling at her.“Yeah.” She said smiling at me.“Do we have any more appointments today?” I asked her turning around and walking to the front desk.“No. We are done for today. If you want to leave early that’s fine. We only have an hour and half l
“Your right. I don’t have to see them. I don’t know how it will go but we can try. Hopefully the mate bond is truly gone since they marked another and won’t know I’m there. There is plenty of Hotels around there that we can stay at and we can just use your name on the reservation. Their pack welcomes humans on the land so it won’t be unusual for a human to be there.”She nods her head letting go of me and smiles. “Alright that’s settle. Go wash up before little man comes back and sees you like this. I chuckle and walk off to the bathroom down the hallway. I shut the door behind me and splash cold water on my face. Luckily I don’t ever wear make-up because it would be a mess right now. I grab a towel and pat my face dry. Besides my eyes being red you wouldn’t be able to tell I had been crying. A soft knock comes at the door and I open it.“Are you ready momma?” Asked a smiling Walker.“Yes baby I’m ready. I just have to grab my purse and I’ll be ready to go.” I said smiling back at him
I look around trying to find Sophia when Rylan starts clapping her hands and doing her baby talk. I look at my little princess and smile. She is looking behind me and I see the big smile she gets on her face so I turn around and look at what she is smiling about. I adjust her so she is seeing the same way as me. When I look up I see Sophia walking towards us with a couple to go containers in her hands.“Hello Gamma.” She says smiling at me. “Hello pretty girl.” She says turning towards Rylan. Rylan laughs and reaches her arms out wanting Sophia to take her.“Is it time?” She asked me.“Yes.” I say looking away.“Would you mind carrying her to my room? I don’t know if I can juggle her and the food.”“Yes ma’am.” I say to her as she turns around to walk out the door.“The boys are in my room right now. I just wanted to come down and grab foo
“I’m gonna take my princess for a few hours and spend some time with her. I’ll find you when it’s time. If that’s ok? If not I can find Dawn.” I tell Sophia. She stands up and walks over to me, stopping right in front of us and looks down at Rylan.“It’s no problem at all. Your little girl is such a doll. I have already fallen in love with her like I have those two over there. Walker is my nephew but Felix is new and I love him just as much also.” She says running a finger over Rylan’s cheek with a smile on her face.“You have fun with your daddy and I will see you in a little while okay sweet girl?” Sophia moves her hand away from Rylan and lets it drop to her side just as a piece of hair falls in her face. I feel my arm wanting to move to push it back behind her ear.Rylan starts clapping her hands and smiling at Sophia then at me.“Let’s go see mommy.” I say to my little girl. I barely notice the flinch that Sophia did when I said that. Huh, that was w
Dev“Listen up warriors, I will be splitting you in to three groups. The first group will be with me, the second group will be going with Beta Evan and the third group will be staying here.” I say loud enough that everyone can hear me. “The group with me is rescuing the kids, the second is going after the Alphas and whoever is with them.”“Can we request the team we are on?” One warrior asked.“It depends on the rank of warrior the wolf is.” I tell him.“I would like to go with your team Gamma.” The warrior says. “My niece was taken and she is all my sister has. She lost her mate a few years ago.”“What is your rank warrior?” I asked him.“Three sir.”“You can be with my team.” I tell him. “Rise your hands if you are ranked one through three.” I tell them all. More than three quarter of the warriors raise their hands. “Alright. Who is ranked one and two?” More than half keep their hands raised.I look around to them all and nod. “Teamed with Beta Evan is warriors ranked one and two. T
“Do you think you could picture him in your mind and let me see it through you?” I asked her.She looks skeptical which I can’t blame her on that one. “Will it hurt?”“Not at all. You just have to picture him in your mind. I will take my fingertips and put them against your temple and I will use a bit a magic to see into your mind what you are picturing.” I tell her.“Okay we can try it. Is he in trouble?” She asked as I stood up.“No, we are just trying to find him so we can ask him questions about that day Liam got poisoned. But no one seems to know who he is. This way I can see what he looks like and show the others.” I tell her as I walk over to her.“What do you mean? He is a warrior. The warriors should know who he is.” She says looking over to Matthew. He shakes his head no to her and looks down.Once I get to her, I walk behind her and put my fingers on her
“I can and I will. You have messed with the wrong person in life. I am done being a stepping stone. When all of this is said and done I WILL have my mates back and this time no one will get in between us.” I tell her looking her in the eyes. I see the fire in them die a little as she stares at me knowing I’m not joking.“Just kill me because when I get out of here I will come for you.” She spits at me.“Na. Just go to sleep and don’t wake back up until I get back.” I tell her as my eyes turn black. She looks in to my eyes and I know it’s working. Her eyes start to drop and her body starts relaxing. I let go of her hair and let her fall before stepping back. I turn around and see the shocked looks on everyone’s face.“What was that?” Blake asked me.“I honestly don’t know.” I said shrugging my shoulders as Evan let me out of the cell before walking himself. He picks E
The wolf looks up to me with the most gorgeous silver eyes. It blinks at me before answering. “My name is Snow.” She says in my head. I nod at it looking around at everyone else and see the shocked looks on their faces.“It’s nice to meet you Snow. Can you tell me what is happening?” I asked her.“Yes my Queen. I haven’t shifted in years. I refused to after she started going to the Master. I wanted nothing to do with it. I told her not to but after our mate died nothing else mattered. Master promised all the followers power, land, wealth and freedom from all the regulations we all have to adhere to being in the supernatural world. He wants to make the humans slaves and all us supernatural beings superior in all ways. He wants to take over the world.”“Wow. That’s a lot to take in.” Dawn says.“He wants complete and total control over everything. He wants to be King.”&ldq
“Why have I been brought here and being treated like a criminal?” She demands standing up. “I have done nothing to deserve this.”“We beg to differ Eve.” I say to her letting go of Desi’s hand and slowly walking closer to the cell.“You have no say here you conniving little bitch.” Eve spits out. “If it wasn’t for you, Jayden wouldn’t be in this predicament. He would be by my side ridding the world of trash like the lot of you!” She screeched trying to reach through the silver bars to get to me. She yelps at the at the burn that is happening on her arms but yet she can’t seem to pull them back soon enough.“So, you are working with the one who is wreaking havoc on the supernatural world?” I said and looked at the others. “We figured so but we couldn’t prove it until now.” I tell her turning back to look at her face.“You can’t prov
Everleigh“Ma’am.” I say walking up to her. She turns towards me and smiles.“Ms. Everleigh. It’s so good to see you again. I never did get to formally introduce myself when you were here before. I am the head omega Helga.”“Hello Helga. It’s nice to meet you. Can you please mind link Beta Dawn please and tell her that Desi and I are going to the dungeon?” I ask her.She nods her head as her eyes cloud over. It takes a few seconds before they start to clear.“She said to wait a few minutes and they will all go with you.” She tells me with a smile before it drops. “How is your friend? The one who go hurt?”Shock went through my system at her question. I didn’t think anyone knew about that. We tried to keep it on the down low of who it was and what happened.“He is doing better. They say he should be waking up any time now.” I tell her skeptically.“Good. I’m glad to hear that. I told Warrior Bronston about the weird new guy who was in the kitchen that day but I haven’t even heard whisp
“Felix.” Desi said with tears starting to form in her eyes. “How do you know your daddy is in the sky?”“He told me mommy. He visits my dreams. He told me to tell you he loves you no matter what and he doesn’t blame you for what happened.” Felix said reaching up and cupping Desi’s cheek as she silently cries for her mate.She grabs ahold of Felix and wraps him in a hug burying her face in his neck. He wraps his small arms around her neck and holds on tight.“It’s ok momma. He said he is happy and watching over us. He is waiting for the day he will see us again.” I hear Felix whisper to her.“How do you know baby?” She asked in a barely audible whisper.“I see him in my dreams momma. I just said that silly. He said he would visit you but he doesn’t want you hurting.”The only way to tell Desi is crying is the shake of her shoulders. She has silent
