No matter what I do I cannot get my mate out of my head. I have tried over the years but I just want her back and soon she will be. I hear a knock on my door before it opens revealing Grey. He walks in shutting the door behind him. He walks over to the chair sitting in front of my desk.
“Hey Zay. Is everything ok?” He asked.
“Yes. Want a drink?” I ask him as I get up and go to the corner by my desk and grab two whiskey glasses and pour some amber liquid in both of them.
“Yes please. You said you have information?” He asked as I grabbed both glasses and walked back over to my desk placing his down in front of him before I retake my seat.
“I do.” I said nodding them taking a gulp of my drink.
He takes a gulp too before asking, “What information are we looking at?”
“You know how we have been searching for her for a few years now and have had no hits at all? Pretty much like she w
Everleigh It’s been a week since our run in with the rogue group at the bowling alley. A week of getting to know them. Who they are, where they came from and why they became rogues. In such a short amount of time walker has claimed them as family.They have become his aunts and uncles. Blake, Nora, Liam and Bailey are some of the sweetest people I have ever met and their treatment from the pack that caused them to go rogue is ludicrous. I was treated horribly but what they went through made my life seem like rainbows and unicorns.Tonight, they are coming over for dinner and I’m making lasagna with garlic toast. I premade the lasagna so all I have to do is pop it in the oven then make the toast. Walker is so excited. He is acting like he hasn’t seen them in years when in fact it was just two days ago when they were last here.After our first initial run in at the bowling alley we have talked or video cha
My last call though I was dreading as soon as I seen the name. Peter and Lacy Milstead. The Alpha and Luna of a nearby pack. Even though I was technically a rogue they didn’t treat me as such but they still treated me like I was way beneath them.I didn’t tell them my story when they first came across me but I told them I did run from a bad situation and pose no threat to those humans around me.The phone rang twice before it was picked up by a sickly-sweet voice.“Hello.” Said the voice on the other end.“Hello, Mrs. Milstead this is Everleigh calling regarding your scheduled photo shoot.”“Hello dear. What seems to be the problem?” She asked worriedly.“There has been a slight change in schedule planning and I have a family issue I need to resolve so I will be taking off the next two weeks starting this next Monday.”“Oh no dear. I hope all is okay.”&ldq
“Get out Desi. I will not nor will I ever help you after everything. Yes it’s in the past but it is where it will stay.” I said pointing to the door no listening to a word she said. She grabs a Kleenex out of the box on the counter and dabs at her eyes.She sniffles and digs in her bag again. “If you change your mind here is my card and contact information. Just call my cell and I will pick up. I am sorry for all that I have done and wish I could change it but it’s done.”Not saying a word, I watched as she walked out my studio door. I lock the door behind her and pull out my cell calling Sophia.“I’ll be over in just a little bit to get Walker. I just need to straighten up first.” I said as soon as she answered.“Take all the time you need love.”“Thanks Soph. I really appreciate you.” I tell her before hanging up.I sit in my chair for twenty minutes trying to ge
“You’re fine. I just don’t want Walker to hear about this. He knows what we are but he doesn’t know the difference between being in a pack and a rogue.” I tell them as the timer goes off on the oven. I pop the door open and grab an oven mitt taking the pan out of the oven. I turn the bread over and add the shredded cheese on top and put it back in the oven for the remainder of the time.“We will get on a better subject then.” Blake said going to stand by Nora and putting his arm around her waist. I watch as the two of them look lovingly in each other’s eyes before Bailey clears her throat and breaks them out of their own little world.“How long have you two been together anyways?” I ask Blake and Nora.“We found each other the day we left the pack. She was part of the group that we got out in time before the extermination process started.”“Oh wow. That’s horrible but so s
“Ok?” I said not understanding.“Since Liam and I are both Gamma’s from our old pack we don’t know who is an Luna unless they tell us, like you just did. We just get drawn to them. Want to protect them like family should. Gamma’s are pretty much a Luna’s body guard.” Blake tells me.Wow. Maybe that explains why I feel drawn to them too.“How does that work though because my other mate is a Delta? I shouldn’t need protection with two.” I asked them before thinking. I never did tell them I had two mates. I just told them I was mated.“Wait. You have two mates?” Bailey asked confused.I sigh. “Yes. Alpha was my first mate but once everything started the moon goddess blessed me with the Delta also because of a war that was supposed to be coming. I needed protection from them and also their help. She blessed them with a few abilities.Whether or not they still hav
*“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to but no. We will not allow you to go there without us! If something happened to you and we weren’t there to protect you, you know how guilty we would feel?” She asked with tears in her eyes.“She is right Evey. You can’t go by yourself. You said it yourself that your wolf has been dormant and you don’t really have powers anymore, so we need to be there with you.” Liam said with finality.I sigh knowing I can’t get out of this. “Fine but I don’t know how they will react to me being there let alone four rogues, a child and a human. Well, Sophia probably not so much since they have opened pack lands to humans for the shopping district. Or it was open the last time I was there.” I tell them.“Ok good. Now on to your questions. Call Sophia and ask her to come over. It will be easier if she was here that way if she has any questions she can ask and we can an
“So, to go in to detail, the Alpha is the leader of the pack and his right-hand man is his Beta. His Beta’s duties include helping in battle and prisoner questioning. The Beta is also the one who promotes warriors and trains them or delegates those task to Head Warriors.” Bailey spoke.I nod my head in understanding as I feel Sophia scoot closer to me on the couch and grab my hand excitedly.“Delta’s are the strategic ones. They strategize war tactics, plan ambushes, send out scouts to scope out our enemies. They also train the scouts and hunters. It’s a huge honor to be chosen. Very few have ever made it all the way. They are the only ranked member who doesn’t get their position handed to them. Just because someone’s father is a Delta doesn’t mean they will be. They are made not born that way.” Nora said dreamily. I wonder if that’s what she always wanted to become.“Gamma’s are the l
Walker I’ve had a great day today. At school we learned about circles and the color blue. We learned how to write the letter L and the number 12. It was exciting. I love learning new things. On some subjects I’m a lot better than others. In others I have a hard time but I am getting there.I’m getting better every day. I’ve had fun with my friends all day. I can’t wait to get home though. My family is coming over for dinner. For the longest time it’s just been me and mom and Aunt Sophia but now it’s us, Liam, Bailey, Blake and Nora. My family.I’m surprised to see Aunt Sophia pick me up after school and take me home. She explained that my mom had a last-minute customer and that was why she picked me up. Mom always lets me come to the studio after school though so I don’t know why she didn’t today. Oh well, at least here it’s a bit comfier and I get snacks!I don’t know how long I was here but I hear someone knock on the door and Aunt Sophia goes to open it. I hear moms voice so I dro
“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
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
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
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
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
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.
“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
“Alright. Stop calling me Luna. I am not your guys Luna anymore.” I tell them with a sigh. “Let’s get to it. While the guys are gone I will call the other Luna’s.” The guys make their way out of the office and I sit back down rubbing my temples. I pick up the phone, put it on speaker phone and call the first on the list.The phone rings a few times before it is picked up by a soft cracking voice. “Luna Jazzlyn speaking.”“Luna this is Everleigh over in Silver creek Pack. We need your help.”“I can’t help right now Everleigh. We are in our own difficulties.” She says with a quivering voice.“Is your mate missing just as Zayden and Grey are?” I flat out asked her.“How did you know? Who are you?” She demanded.“I am Zayden and Grey’s ex-mate.” I told her as that’s the only thing she needed to know.“Oh, I heard about you. How can I help Everleigh?” She asked.“I’m calling a Luna summit.” I tell her. “I’m going to call Alpha Stark
I clear my throat to get everyone’s attention. “So back to what we were doing. I need those numbers please. I’d like to have them called before the night is over with. Then from there we can…” I was saying to them as the door burst open again. When I looked up the last person I ever expected to be there was standing in the door way looking shocked.“I’m looking for Zayden. Anyone seen him?” Eve asked looking around at all the people. When she noticed me she did a double take and sneered.“What the fuck are you doing here?” She snarled.“I came for a visit.” I told her with a sickly-sweet smile plastered on my face.“You should have kept your skank ass away. No one wants you here. Especially not my Zayden.” She all but yelled out causing Rylan to whine.“If anyone needs to stay away it is you. I know you were behind Desi and what the hell she was doing. I can&
