“What was that?” Dawn asked in a whimper as she tries to control her crying.
“Which part?” I ask.
“Walker.” Is all she says.
“We think he is a prophet of some kind.” I tell her brushing my hand through her hair as she is still leaning against me. “That would be another part of why we came for a visit.”
She sits up and looks at me questioningly. “What do you mean?”
I explain to her about the words Walker said when I was dreaming and how we have two weeks after the next full moon before a war starts.
“That is tonight Everleigh. 14 days. We can’t fight in any war without our Alpha.” Dawn says starting to get hysterical.
“Do you know the Luna’s of the other packs?” I ask Dawn.
“I know a few of them. The ones who’s mates met with Zayden and Grey.” She says as she thinks.
“Get me their numbers. I&
I clear my throat to get everyone’s attention. “So back to what we were doing. I need those numbers please. I’d like to have them called before the night is over with. Then from there we can…” I was saying to them as the door burst open again. When I looked up the last person I ever expected to be there was standing in the door way looking shocked.“I’m looking for Zayden. Anyone seen him?” Eve asked looking around at all the people. When she noticed me she did a double take and sneered.“What the fuck are you doing here?” She snarled.“I came for a visit.” I told her with a sickly-sweet smile plastered on my face.“You should have kept your skank ass away. No one wants you here. Especially not my Zayden.” She all but yelled out causing Rylan to whine.“If anyone needs to stay away it is you. I know you were behind Desi and what the hell she was doing. I can&
“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
“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
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.
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
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
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
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
I slowly move closer to the bed just in case this is a hallucination. I reach my hand up and lightly drag my fingers down the side of his face. I jerk my hand back because the feel of skin under my fingertips surprises me. My dreams never feel this real. I slowly get up on my knees and crawl to the edge of the bed. I reach my hand up and cup Zayden’s cheek, lightly brushing my thumb right under his eye. The light movement must have startled him enough that his eyes fly open and he has a death grip on my wrist. My eyes widen in shock staring in to his.“Grey?” He croaks out after blinking a few times clearing his vision.“Hey buddy. Yeah, it’s me.” I say in a whisper. His hand loosens its hold on me but he doesn’t let go of my wrist. We just sit there and stare at each other for a few seconds before he let’s go of my wrist and swings his arms around my shoulders pulling me in to a hug.“Grey.” He whisper
Lord Carmykel’s son sighed before answering. “They somehow laced my drink with the metal. I was out at the bar with some co-workers and didn’t notice anything unusual. I started to feel weird so I excused myself to step outside. I remember someone following me and when I turned around they hit me with something before injected me with some type of serum knocking me out.”“This is crazy. Are these assholes going after all supernatural’s?” Jaxon growled.“That’s the way it seems to be going. I just hope we can live through this. I want to go home to my mate. We had just found she was pregnant.” Jaxon muttered to himself.“We all do.” Jayden muttered looking down.“I haven’t even found my beloved yet. I’m only 538 years old. That’s like the equivalent of being in my early 20’s in human years. I need to make it out of here and start searching.”&
GreyI don’t know how much longer I can hold on. The experiments are becoming too much for my body to handle. I can feel it slowly starting to shut down. If we are lucky we get a piece of bread and a paper cup of water a day. Being wolves, we can’t live off of only that. I know there are many that have made it on that but not while having to endure strenuous experiments of unknown origins.I can feel my mind starting to jumble. I don’t know if they just want to torture us or if they are trying to break us. Either way it’s working. I keep thinking of Everleigh and the life we could have if none of this had happened. Would we be a regular family? Have kids? Would they be running around acting like us when we were younger or would they be like Everleigh? Sweet, calm and collected all at the same time.I don’t know how long I have been out this time but the darkness is starting to fade and I feel the torture that
“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
