“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
“What do you mean?” I barely whispered back, getting a sinking feeling in my stomach.“We have had a feeling since we woke up that we needed to keep close to you and keep an eye out. Something is going to happen.” Liam whispered.“Nyx said something this morning too along those lines. I know you guys have a special ability that I do not understand but have you guys felt anything off since last night?” I asked them. They both nodded their heads.“About what?” I asked curiously.“When his mom came in. There is something off about her. Desi too but I think hers is nerves being around everyone again. Then the woman from this morning. There was a weird aura around her that we can’t quite decipher.” Blake says. “We will keep an eye out still but just watch your back when we can’t. We don’t know what’s going on in these walls.”“Understood.” I tell
“Alright. Can I see the report and pictures if possible that was taken from that day?”“Yes ma’am. We have it right here. I had a feeling it was going to be needed.” The darker haired man said standing up and walking towards the desk with a file in his hand. He sits it down in front of me and walks back to his seat.“Thank you. What’s your name?” I ask him flipping open the file before looking at him.“Buster.” He said. “The bald one is Frank. He doesn’t talk and the red headed one is Chester.”“Thank you Buster.” I said looking back down. The first sheet is what they came across in the initial look through. The second sheet was more detailed in their findings. Pictures came after that. I looked at Blake and Liam and nodded my head letting them know to come over.“What’s up Eve?” Liam asked when he came around the desk.“You have
"Someone get the doctor. NOW!” I yell out. “He’s been poisoned.”Within minutes an older doctor, maybe in his mid-50’s and a few nurses rush in to the office moving us all out of the way. I watch as the doctor pulls a needle out of his bag and injects it in to Liam. He slowly stops convulsing and starts relaxing. The doctor uses a wash bottle with a curved tip to remove the foam from Liam’s mouth.“We need to get him to the infirmary. He should be safe to move in a few minutes. Just keep him on his side just in case.” He said standing up. At that time someone came to a running halt in the door way. I look up and see Emi standing their panting.“Emi?” I asked confused. “What’s wrong.“Walker.” She said panting and looking wild eyed. “He… He… He…” Then her eyes closed and she passed out. The warrior known as Frank caught her before she fell t
*“He will be ok. He is a fighter and he won’t leave you.” I whisper to her.“I know he is but I’m still scared. I love him so much. I won’t be able to live without him. I can’t do it without him. I haven’t even been able to tell him the good news I found out this morning.” She says in between sobs. I rub my hand up and down her arm trying to comfort her. I lean my head back and look at Dawn.“Did anyone lock the office door before they left? We don’t need anyone contaminating the scene.” I asked.“Yes. And the warriors are stationed outside so no one goes in.” Evan says.“Good. I’m glad.” I say before pulling Bailey towards me and having her lean on my shoulder.We sat there for an hour with no word on what was going on. We all were going crazy. Just as I felt the tipping point for Bailey the doors opened to reveal the doctor that came to the offic
*“Please lead the way.” I tell him. He turns around and leads me to the back. Her room isn’t very far in so it doesn’t take us long to get to her room. The doctor knocked twice before walking in. I came to a stop right inside the door and just looked at her. She was a little pale still but had color back in her cheeks. I watch as she smiles up at the doctor before he turns and walks out. I carefully walk over to her and sit down in the chair next to the bed.“Hey Emi. How you feeling?” I asked her carefully.She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. “I don’t know. I’m trying to wrap my head around everything.” She says looking down at her hands on her lap. “Walker scared me to death. Did you know he is a prophet?” She looked at me and I see in her eyes that she was worried.I nod my head. “I did. He has had a few visions before like in his dreams. He has seen Shadow and Rye in hi
*“What’s wrong Dev?” I ask him.“That is so sad that she is going through that.” He whispers.The door to the office opens and in walks Evan with a laptop in hand. He walks over and hands it to Desi before walking over and taking his seat beside Dawn. Desi takes a cord off of the desk, plus one end in the computer and the other in to the phone. She rummages around on the computer bringing up the pictures and videos from the phone. She whoops when she finds the right one.“Got it!” She announces. She turns the computer around and we all gather around it. She hits play. The sound of the pups laughing is the first thing we heard. Walker and Felix were chasing each other around the couch. I watch as Walker run and slides under the coffee table like a pro. Felix skids to a stop and drops to his knees to peer under it. Walker slides under the other side and comes out standing up. Sneaking up on Felix. He touches his sides and
“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
