“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
“Morning mommy.” Walker said yawning.“Good morning Walkers mommy.” Felix said with a smile.“Go get dressed bug and I’ll have Evan bring some clothes for you Felix. Then we can go have breakfast. I have a surprise for you buddy.” I tell them. Walker pushes the blanket off him and gets out of bed stretching his limbs before grabbing his clothes and going to the bathroom to get changed.I pick up my phone and text Liam asking him to see if Dawn or Evan could bring clothes up for Felix. Within seconds his reply of ‘already on the way’ came. A minute later there was a knock on the door and I stood up to answer it. Liam was there holding out the clothes for me to take. I smile at him and notice Bailey behind him.“Want to come in a minute?” I asked them stepping aside. “We can all go down together when Felix gets dressed.”“Good morning Eve. Did you sleep well?” B
"Mama.” He said between sobs. “I missed you mama.”“I missed you too my sweet boy.” She said trying to keep her emotions at bay. I stepped around them and sat his plate right next to hers and Walker’s right next to his. Walker looked up at me then back down to his friend then back to me. I pointed to his plate and he nodded before walking to the chair and sitting down. I sat down next to him and began eating.“What?” Dawn asked looking at me.“I couldn’t do it. I can’t say no as you can see. She needed this and we need her to trust us.” I tell her before taking another bite. I hear a chair scrape against the floor and look over to see Desi pushing Felix’s chair in before she sits down too. We all begin eating, no one saying anything. Breakfast was almost over when there was a commotion in the dining hall door way.“What the fuck are they doing here?” I hear a female
“You can take them to the game room or where ever as long as they stay in this house.” I tell her.“Walker, you and Felix will be hanging out with Auntie Emi for a little while ok. There are some people mommy has to meet so she is going to watch you both play until we get done. We should be done by dinner time.” I tell him.“Okay mommy. I’m going to have a great day with Felix and Auntie Emi. I promise I will be a good boy for you. Always.” He was putting his hand on his heart.I kneel down and open my arms. He reaches over and wraps his arms around my neck while I wrap mine behind his back. I hug him and kiss his temple. “I know you will be a good boy. You always are.” I whisper to him.I look over and see Desi giving Felix a hug before standing up. “Are we ready?” She asked with a wavier in her voice. I let go of Walker and stand up. I watch Emi take the boy’s hands and walks them o
“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
