“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 was the only daughter of the Alpha but treated like a slave. I got my wolf when I was 13 but after I changed my world came crashing down around me. It started off with them smacking me and it gradually became punching, throwing me into walls, using a silver whip on me or even just a silver chain. Then they moved me from my room into the basement. I could only come out to fix the food and clean the house.One time when I wasn’t cleaning fast enough, they threw me down two flights of stairs then started kicking me in the stomach causing 4 of my ribs to break and one of them to puncture my lung. They only called the doctor to fix the rib that had punctured my lung. Other than that, one time I never got the help I needed. I had to suffer in pain trying to do my duties and do them fast.It was mine and my twin brother’s 20th birthday and the first time he could drink alcohol since he was training to be Alpha. Everyone got smashed with him. No one paid at
I awoke to the sound of rain outside of the cave I was in. Sleeping in wolf form was nice. You don’t get as stiff as if you slept in your human form on a cave floor. When I got my eyes adjusted to the dim light coming in the cave entrance, got up and stretched my limbs. I wonder what time it is? I slowly creep to the entrance and take a small sniff of the air trying to see if anyone was out there. I don’t smell anything. Hopefully the rain will have washed my scent away from the search party.I go over and grab the bag I brought in my mouth and poke my head out of the cave to get a look around. I don’t see anyone so I slowly come out. I look around for good measure before taking off again. I have no idea where I am but please goddess help me find solace. I prayed to the moon goddess multiple times ever since last night. I hope she can hear my plea.After a few hours of running, I’m getting tired again. I look around to see if I can find water an
Unknown:“Alpha, we got a report of an unknown wolf on the southern border. It’s pretty fast and looks to be heading toward the west border.”“Evan, get Grey and Dev and meet me outside in ten minutes.” I told my Beta. Good thing I was already up for how early of a morning it is.“Yes sir!” He said bowing to me.What would a lone wolf be doing crossing our territory? Everyone knows where our land starts. Leaving right now we should be able to catch up with them by sun up as long as they actually took a rest tonight. I went to my closet and grabbed a small bag with a couple pairs of shorts in case I need to change to my form and headed down the stairs to go outside. Out on the lawn was my top three waiting on me.“What’s the plan Alpha?” asked Dev.“We are going to make it to the southern line and hope they actually take a rest tonight. I want to know why they
Unknown:“Alpha?” Asked Grey. I didn’t realize the other two changed back to human form.“She’s my mate guys.” I said as I picked her up.“Really?” Asked Tony. “We finally have our Luna?”“If she wants it yes. But from the looks of it she has not had a good life.” I told them. “From what I can tell it looks like she is underweight, dehydrated, and has possibly been hurt within the last few days. I can still see some bruising around the edge her shirt on top and arms.”“We need to get her back and checked out Alpha. I already mind linked Anthony to start heading our way a few hours ago, so we can meet him half way. Do you think we can get her to stay on your back somehow so you can run in your wolf form to make it faster?”“I don’t know Gray but we can try. It won’t be as fast but we can try. Grab the rope out my
“No but I will deal with it, Evan. I am the Alpha. Just because my mother is still the current Luna until I mate another doesn’t give her the right. She can step down any time she wants. I’m not stopping her.” I said in a low voice so I don’t disturb my mate.“I understand man. I don’t know how you’ve put up with it the five years already. If I was in your shoes, I would have thrown her in the dungeon already.” Evan said causing me to give a light laugh.“I have thought about it.” I joked which caused him to chuckle.“Alright man, I’ll get out of here but if you need anything just let me know. Okay?”“There is actually something you could do.” I mentioned looking at him. “Can you find someone in the pack who is about her size and see if they might have a set of clothes for her? I don’t want her to have to wear the torn ones she was wearing. Actually
Everleigh. After the guy walked out the door, I looked at the bag then at this amazingly handsome guy in front of me. I can’t believe he is actually holding me. I haven’t someone do that since I was a kid. It was weird but it felt natural. Like his arms were sculpted just for my body.He cupped my cheek and nods his head towards the bag.“I had a friend of mine bring some clothes for you. You can go take a shower if you would like. The bathroom is right over there.” He said pointing to a door on the right wall.I nod and went to get up but stumbled again. I felt hands on my side to help steady me.“Can I help you to the bathroom at least? Then I’ll ask a nurse to come in and make sure you don’t fall.” He asked and I sighed and nodded.He smiles. It was gorgeous and very infectious because I felt my lips start to turn up in the corners.He picks me up bridal style and ca
ZaydenAs soon as she asked that Rye was going ballistic in my head. He was happy. I had to remind him that we had to go slow and take it easy because of her condition. He didn’t care. He was just glad she was going to be close to us.“Are you ready to go?” I asked her.“I think so.” She said nervously.I grab the bag that Dev brought for her, I grabbed her hand and we headed off back way to the Alpha wing. No one really uses this way so I can take her up without being spotted. Especially by my mother.We are about half way up the stairs when I notice she is struggling. Without saying anything I scoop her up and carry her bridal style. She is so tiny that carrying her feels like carrying a sack of feathers.We get to the top floor; I stop at the door and crack it a little bit to listen before going out in the hall. I don’t hear anything so we sneak down the hall way to the end where my bed
ZaydenAs soon as I got done showering, I hurried and dried my body and hair, put on my clothes and walk out the door. I see my little mate sitting in the chair I left her in but with a book in hand. I slowly walk over to her and lean on the back of the chair. I notice she is reading my favorite book. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.“How do you like it so far?” I startled her apparently as she jumped as soon as I asked the question.“I’m not that far in to it but so far, I like it. I love to read even if I don’t know some of the big words.” She answered looking up to me with a smile.“That’s good. I’m glad you like it so far. If you ever need help with a word don’t be afraid to ask me okay. I’m here for anything and everything you need.” I said looking her in the eyes.She nodded as a knock on the door startled us.“That would be Grey.” I said as

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
It stopped just as sudden as it started. I climbed out of my hiding hole and started to slowly trek toward the cottage. I tried looking through the windows but they were blocked. No one could see in or out of them. I barely heard the running of footsteps in time to hide. I jumped behind a big bush just as the door swung open.I heard the chirp of a car alarm. I moved just enough to see and watched as my beloved Everleigh jumped in the car taking off. Once I don’t see her anymore I step out from behind the bush. All I am seeing is red at this moment. Knowing that she has two mates is hard enough but knowing that Briar was going to make her his has me murderous. I stalk inside the cottage and go room by room looking for him. I don’t know where he is but I will find him. I walk down the steps to the basement. I stop in my tracks as soon as I hit the bottom floor. There in the middle of the room is Briar. Tangled up in roots. His arms and legs are wrapped up in them and he can’t move.Onc
