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
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
“This is my idea for the rescue. With not knowing how many of the witches would be willing to help out I estimated two to each group. The vampires that will be helping out from my coven will add an extra ten to each group. I like the idea of three groups going in.Since these two lands boarder each other our best bet would be to attack from the North, East and South of White Fang. The other group will attack from the North, South, and West of Black Lake. The groups on the East and West sides will cause a distraction to get as many rogues and warriors to those sides as possible.”He looks around at everyone and nods before continuing. “While the distraction is happening the two groups on the North and South sides will advance inwards. Those two groups will break in to two more groups.The first group will fight and keep the other group covered so they can go in and get the kids out. But the problem is how will we get the kids to safety when we g
“I think the kids need to be rescued first. They have no way to defend themselves. Their captures might start hurting them if we go after the others before them.” Jazzlynn says.“I agree. But the rescues need to be started within an hour of each other. We need to find a way that there is no communication with others outside of that pack to get to the adults captures.” Aria says.“I can help with that. Well, my coven anyways. They love Zayden as their own and wants him back too. He saved a lot of us and we want to do the same for him. I will go and see who will volunteer for the rescue.” Vor said standing up.“Thank you Vor.” Dawn says.She goes out the door quickly and we hear the click of the lock as it engages knowing she just locked us in.“So where are the thought processes of these rescues? How far have you gotten?” Lord Carmykel asked looking around.“Honestly we haven&r
“They are hybrids so the sun doesn’t bother them as much as a full fledge vampire.” He said before commenting, “Now that, that is out of the way let’s get to strategizing on how we are going to save all these people.”“Does anyone have any plans? I know everyone has been thinking of things. I want to start off with the kids safety first.” I say turning around to look at the map.“I have an idea.” Buster said.We all turn to look at him.“You said Gamma Dev is taking the lead on the rescue of the kids correct?” Buster asked looking at Dev for conformation.We nod our heads. “Who will be going with him? Like how many warriors? We can’t send to many because then it will lead to an easier attack on the pack if someone knows.”“I planned on taking a few of the higher-ranking warriors, sending a few with Evan also and leaving a handful here to protect t
Everleigh“How do you know Lord Carmykel?” I asked him looking skeptical.“I’ve been to various places, met many sketchy people, but this one here.” He says holding up a picture of one of the guys on a table looking like a lab rat, “Is on a clan grounds. I watched as it was built. It was supposed to be a research center to help find resources for Vampires and hybrids. To find ways for us to go in the sun and not get sick, find ways to help curve our appetite and so forth. That was over 60 years ago when it was built. There was supposedly an accident that destroyed it around ten years ago. Apparently not. From the looks of it, it’s working just fine.” He says lowering the picture.“Where is this research center?” Vor asked him.“Black Lake. It is a little over six hours away by car.”“How far away from White Fang is that?” I asked.
“How did you know?” She asked looking at the floor.“The weird things you eat, you don’t drink which could honestly be just because you don’t like to and your scent has slightly changed.”Oh shit, she’s pregnant! I thought to myself.Everyone’s eyes almost bug out their heads when they whip their heads towards Luna Jazzlynn.“Why didn’t you tell me?” Asked Luna Aria.“We were going to have a party and invite everyone before this shit storm happened.”“Have you had a checkup done recently?” I asked her“No. I haven’t had the chance to yet.” She admits.“Luna Aria, take her down to the clinic and get her checked. The stress of everything going on is not good for her or the pup. We will update you all when you get back.” I say looking at Luna Aria. She nods and stands, grabbing Luna Jazzlyn’s hands and pull
“No absolutely not!” She screeched. “I will not allow my child or anyone’s child to go in to a dangerous situation. No.”“But mom..” He started.“No buts mister. The answer is no. You are five years old. You have no business going in to something like this. This is for the adults bug. I know you are the man of the house when we are home but here there is too much danger.”“Momma..” He starts again.“Walker the final answer is NO. N. O. NO. You will not be going. If I catch you anywhere near us when we go to leave I will have them lock you and Felix in a room for your own safety. I will not take the chance of something happening to either of you. Do you understand?” She said pulling the boys off of her and standing up.“Yes momma.” Walker said sadly. “Come on Felix. Let’s go back to Aunt Sophia.” Walker grabs Felix’s hand and drags him o
VorWe made it up to the office and noticed everyone was there but Blake, Nora and Bailey. I walked over to the desk and put the box down before turning around and facing everyone.“Where are the others?” I asked.“Bailey is with Liam. She said she would love to be here but her first priority is Liam. Blake and Nora will be here within the hour. They didn’t want to leave Bailey by herself after a long night. I guess there was some complication that happened.” Everleigh stated.“Okay, we can catch them up later. When we are done I will go check on them and make sure the stress isn’t going to hurt Bailey or the baby and see if I can’t do anything for Liam.” I say turning around. I start taking things out of the box when I get the feeling we are being watched somehow. I stop what I’m doing and stand up straight. I whisper an incantation for an illusion of us doing the opposite of what we are actually doing. When I’m done I turn around and face the others.“I don’t know if you all just fe
“Can you mind link the other 3 and ask them to meet us in the office when they get done or up. I’ll find Everleigh and can you also link the front guards and tell them to expect Lord Carmykel. When he shows up to just let him through and don’t make him stop.”“I can do that rabbit. You’re amazing you know that right and that I love you so very much?”Hearing my mates nickname for me makes my body relax. It’s been so crazy lately I haven’t hardly been able to see her.“I love you too Wendy. So very much. I will see you here in a little bit for the meeting.” I tell her before cutting the link. I gather up all the medallions and potions that have been made besides the one for Calix. Remy walks in as soon as I get the last vial in the box. I look up at him and smile.“Remy my dear boy. Can you can make sure Calix’s potion isn’t tampered with while it sits in the sun all day? W
“Understood Vor. As soon as this Luna is back after she gives Calix the potion we will leave. Before that I want a rundown of everything that is happening.”“Understood Myke. I will have the guard at the front keep an eye out for you and will have them let you through without stopping. Just go straight to the underground parking and bring the elevator up.” I tell him.“Understood. Until tomorrow Vor I bid you good well.” He said before hanging up.I set the phone back down on my desk and rub my temples. Why must people always have to try to take over the world?I stand up and gather my things before walking out the door and locking it behind me. Thankfully I’m only on the second floor so I run down the stairs and out the front door to my car. I open my door, fling my bag inside and jump in starting it. I already have it in drive before my door is fully closed. My normal 20-minute drive to the coven, my house I had
