Zayden

As 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

  • The Unexpected Mate   Chapter 9

    EverleighFor the first time when I wake up, I’m not in any pain. My body isn’t stiff, my neck doesn’t hurt from sleeping wrong and I feel content. Why do I feel happy? I know I need to get up and get my chores started but for the first time I really don’t want to. Normally I get up and start moving around to loosen up these tense muscles.With my eyes not wanting to really open, I groan and go to move the blanket off of me when my hand grazes something firm but soft. I finally open my eyes to see what I touched. When I see that my head is laying on someone’s chest I start to freak out. Then all the memories over the last few days hit me like a mac truck.I start to calm down and slightly move my head to look at the handsome creature next to me. Why did the Moon Goddess grant me an amazing man like this? I don’t deserve him. I don’t deserve anyone. I sigh and start lightly tracing the muscle lines in his

    ZaydenI’m dreading the inevitable today. Even though I’m sitting here getting to know my amazingly beautiful mate, I know there is something I have to take care of and stop before Everleigh hears it from someone else.I sigh and tilt her head up to look at me.“My love, there is something I need to take care of. I should only be gone for a few hours at most. Why don’t you go take a bath and relax? I’ll have food brough up for you before I leave.”“Is everything okay, Zayden?” She asked with worry lacing her voice.“Yes baby. I don’t want to upset you but I also don’t want to hide anything.”“Okay?”I take a deep breath trying to steady myself. “My mother has been pressuring me to choose someone to be Luna. If I didn’t, she would choose one for me. Needless to say, I was waiting on you. My mate. But she gave me the timeline

    Unknown (Thoughts)Everleigh…. Sigh.Everleigh why did you run away? Why did you leave me? You are mine. You shouldn’t have ran away. I miss you. All of these things constantly run through my head all day, every day. When no one is looking I always sneak to your old sleep quarters. Even though you have been gone a week already your scent is still strong here. You didn’t have much but what you did have and left behind is now my treasures until you return my love.I will get you back. I know where you are. I just need to find a way to get to you. Of course, you had to find your way onto the most ruthless Alpha’s land. I just hope he doesn’t hurt what’s mine. You will be punished for running away from me when I get you back. I know your life here wasn’t fair tails and rainbows but that is how it has to be. It wouldn’t stop when I have you but I will make it bearable for you when we are together. Noth

    Zayden I don’t know what happened. One minute I got her going over the edge and the next she screams then passes out. I pick her up and rush her to the infirmary while mind linking the doctor to be on standby because I’m headed that way with Everleigh.Once I step in the doors the doctor has a bed waiting and tells me to put her on it and wheels her straight to a room. I pace back and forth outside the door. I don’t want to go in because I know I will just be in the way. An hour later the doctor comes out.“What’s wrong with her?” I asked.“Honestly, we don’t know. She seems physically fine. We are going to set her up with an EEG. That’s the only thing I didn’t check last time and she might have some type of brain damage. We are also going to do a cat scan to make sure there is no swelling.”“Do what you have to do.”He nodded and went back in to

    After Dev leaves, we sit there in silence just looking at each other trying calm ourselves down. I get off the bed and walk over to the table. I didn’t realize how starving I was until I smelled the food. I sit down and start taking the food out of the bags. I look over and see Zayden staring at me. I smile at him before patting the chair next me, telling him to come sit. He slowly gets off the bed and makes his way over. When he sits down, I hand him his food.“Everleigh, would you like to be the Luna of this pack?” He asked me suddenly.I think about it for a minute before asking, “Do you want me as your Luna?”“I do.” He said taking a bite of the soup.“If that is what you would like then yes. I want to make you happy. Just like how you make me happy.” I said smiling at him.He grabs my hand and kisses it. “I don’t want you doing anything you don’t want.”

    Everleigh I don’t know what happened. I was in changing my clothes so we could go for a run, all of sudden my hands start tingling and getting warm. When I look down there is a purple glow around them that steadily got stronger. I stopped walking and just kept looking at them. I didn’t feel Zayden come up behind me. When he wrapped his arms around me, it startled me so bad that I turned around and went to push him. But I felt a force come out of my palms. I didn’t see him get thrown back until he was already thrown against the wall. I started to freak out because I seen blood coming out of his head. I ran to the door and started screaming for help. I heard running coming up the stairs. The first person I see is Grey. I start pointing to the room and asking for help trying not to cry. He runs in to the room right as Evan and Dev get to the top heading towards the room too. I slowly step back towards the wall behind me and slide down it. Pulling my kne

    EverleighIt’s been a few days since that talk with Evan and true to his word he got me an appointment to talk with his aunt. She’s an interior designer and has been really busy lately. He had to make an appointment with her just so she has the time to talk. I’m getting ready in my room when there is a knock on my door.“Come in.” I said as I was pulling my hair up in a messy bun. I look up and see that it’s Evan.“Are you ready?” He asked.I nod my head, grab my bag and walk out the door. As we head outside to the car a few pack members look at me with questioning eyes. I keep my head down and as close to Evan as I feel comfortable being. He opens my door for me and I get in. As he walks around to the driver side, I get my seat belt on.It takes us 20 minutes to get to get to his aunts business building. It is a single-story A frame building with lots of windows all around. There is

    EverleighI’m a wolf! I’m not a Fae. There is no way! I thought to myself. I shook my head and looked at Em.“I think you are mistaken. There is no way I can be a Fae.”“Well, my dear you are not a full Fae. You are half wolf and half Fae. You are a hybrid.”“What the hell? Seriously? How can this be. Zayden is not going to like this.” Evan muttered to himself but not quietly.“The Alpha will have to get over it!” Em snapped at Evan. “Everleigh, I can help you learn that side of you. I have a few friends who are faes. They have taught me a wide variety of things over the years.”“Seriously, I can’t be. My family are all werewolves. Same with my twin brother. He has shown no signs of any type of magic.” I said shaking my head.This makes no sense. How can I be something that no one else in my family is.“My dear, there are possibilities. Someone in your family could be a descendant and the gene could have been dormant. Sometimes it stays that way until something drastic happens and the

    “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.

    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

We can do it but we have to practice a lot and learn everything we can.” Walker tells him.As we get closer to the training field the boy’s excitement grows even more as they see the training happening in real time by warriors. The run over to the edge of the field and watch the warriors practice. They talk about how awesome these guys are and how they can’t wait to be like them. Someone walks up next to us and laughs at the boys antics.“You should see our Alpha during training. He would put these warriors to shame.” He says to the boys watching the warriors still.“No way!” Felix mutters never taking his eyes off of the action.“Our Alpha has taught all of us how to fight and be better at it. His father did the same thing. They train what is called a lead warrior and that warrior trains all of the other warriors. When the Alpha learns something new he shows us all how to do it too.” He te

    “Isn’t it though Soph. These people are after me for some unknown reason. Whether it’s to kill me or take me as a mate. Someone has been after me since I showed up here. I think the reason I’m not dead yet is because either Zayden or Grey is the one who always brought me food and when I was by myself I got my own food not wanting anyone to know where I was.” I whisper to her. I don’t care who hears me when I say how I feel. I know this is all my fault. Maybe I should have died when I was younger. Then we wouldn’t be having this many issues in the present.“Don’t you ever say that Everleigh. Those men loved you. If it wasn’t for me starting stuff then we wouldn’t be in this situation.” Desi said looking at me.“It’s not all on you though Desi. If there wasn’t any hesitancy in their mind then a spell shouldn’t have worked.” I tell her.“I’m sorry.&rdqu

    EverleighI wrap my arm around Remy’s shoulders and chuckle. I understand noticing a cute guy when no one else does.“You’re good Remy. Glad you noticed. Can you picture him and let me see what he looks like?” I asked looking at him. He nods his head. I let his shoulders go as I bring my hands up to his head and see the picture of the man he was talking about. Why does he look familiar?While I still have my hands on his head I ask if he can picture the guy from any other time he noticed him. I watch as the pictures in his head start to change slowly. One picture shows the guy standing by the forest in the shadows watching the guys train, him in the shadows watching a pack meeting, I watch as the pictures change a few more times before I tell Remy to stop on the one he is thinking of. I stare at his memory of this guy talking to a cloaked figure out in the forest. I let go of Remy’s head and let my hands fall to my sides. When I open my eyes everyone is looking at me but Remy’s worrie
